On August 15th, I wish my brothers and sisters a happy family and all the best! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~~
-------------------
The current situation of the Yan Kingdom: the northern border is unprecedentedly stable, Quanrong's vitality has been severely injured and has shrunk to the depths of the grassland, Tan Guide's rebels have been completely wiped out and disappeared, and the two wars have left the north with no worries. There is no doubt that this is Jingtai.
achievements;
The Western army attacked deep into the plateau, but was deceived by the Uighurs for a while. The entire army fell into a passive position. But it was only passive. The Yan army was still there, and its combat power should not be underestimated, even if the Uighurs formed an alliance with nearby feudal lords.
Alliance, it is not easy to swallow up this Yan army, not to mention that the feudal lord and the army are at odds with each other. To be honest, sending troops to the plateau can only be regarded as a mistake by Jingtai;
But it would be a complete mistake to gather a large number of troops from the southern border and go south to invade Nanli! Even if the expeditionary force was completely destroyed on the edge of the Southern Wilderness, Dayan's defense in the south would inevitably become empty. When the Hongyao Gate was destroyed
The Southern Fire was destroyed, Shengfan marched straight in, and the Southern Territory was almost unable to resist...
On the seventh day after the fall of Hongyao, in the imperial study room and in front of Jingtai, four ministers bowed their heads and stood in awe, including the ministers of Hu and Bing, Zhuge Xiaoyu, the chief officer of Wuyi Guard, and Wen Jinqian, the secretary of the current dynasty.
Wen Jinqian has been very busy these days. He and Zhuge Xiaoyu are cooperating. One end is constantly collecting all kinds of information about Shengfan and investigating their number. The other end is buried in the library, flipping through old books and looking for records of the troubles caused by Shengfan in the past.
, and soon after, he was very surprised and came to a conclusion: Judging from the scale of the disaster that he now knows, this catastrophe from the Southern Wilderness is more terrifying than every similar disaster in the past.
Judging from the number and intensity of destruction, the catastrophe three hundred years ago was just childish.
After the Ministry of Revenue estimated the losses caused by the Shengban and the Ministry of War reported the defense and fighting matters in the south, Wen Jinqian also reported his recent findings to the emperor, but Wen Jinqian did not notice it.
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head... He himself thought this was too unbelievable. Three hundred years ago, the fire broke out from the earth, and the ferocious natural disasters frightened the monsters deep in the southern wilderness; this time, the world is stable, and there is no trace of anything at all.
There was no disaster or vision happening, so why did it disturb so many beings and invade the human world.
Jingtai had heard about it and let it go. He was not interested in investigating the root cause. How to deal with this catastrophe was the top priority. He immediately asked: "What are your thoughts on the current situation?"
The two adults from the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War did not speak, but Wen Jinqian said bluntly that this was his duty: "It is the southern border that is experiencing chaos, but the real worries are in the central and eastern borders."
The southern border of Yan was invaded by the Shengfan. Although the local garrison fought hard to resist, it is not difficult to foresee that the southern border will be penetrated sooner or later. By then, the rich central mainland and eastern border where the core of Yan's foundation is located will be exposed to the huge Shengfan
under threat.
Jingtai did not respond, and turned to look at the Minister of War, who immediately answered. Yan State's western expedition to the south was basically drawn from the west and north, and the assembled troops did not have a great impact on the middle and east.
, especially in the middle of the land where Jingcheng is located, the garrison is stronger. According to the Minister of War, their strength is enough to cope with the disaster, so there is no need to worry too much.
However, Zhuge Xiaoyu, the shopkeeper of Wuyiwei, shook his head and said coldly: "The number of living creatures in the Southern Territory of Great Yan is not as many as those in Nanli. In addition, it is reported that there are still monsters in the Southern Wilderness.
They are coming out one after another, and we don’t know exactly how much is hidden in the mountain..."
Shangshu was completely surprised when he heard this and said, "Why are there so many?"
The Shengfan who entered the southern border of Yan Kingdom are just the vanguard. If the current situation continues, the Shengfan who are still in the mountains and in Nanli will flow into Yan sooner or later. Now it seems that the central mainland and Eastern Xinjiang are relatively stable.
, it’s hard to say whether it will still be safe by then.
Hearing the exclamation of the Minister of War, Jingtai said coldly to him: "Jin Qian just said that this catastrophe is far greater than before, and the scale of the disaster is astonishingly huge. Why, didn't you listen carefully?"
Lord Shangshu didn't dare to answer, so Wen Jinqian promptly changed the subject, which was a smooth move. The main force of Yan's army to conquer the grasslands had returned to the country, and there were sufficient troops in the north. For this plan, this force should be mobilized as soon as possible.
, Southern Xinjiang is considered hopeless, so don’t worry about it. As long as you strengthen the defense in the middle and east to ensure that Shengfan will not make further breakthroughs, the foundation of the Yan Kingdom will not be shaken. Wait for a while to hold on, and wait for the restlessness of Shengfan to subside.
They will naturally retreat.
These monsters eat people and kill people, but they cannot destroy the fertile soil and fertile fields, and they will not take away the gold and silver wealth. As long as they withdraw, whether it is the southern border or Nanli, it will still belong to Dayan.
Wen Jinqian's words still didn't sound good: "The northern army alone may not be able to stop Shengfan and protect Central and Eastern China."
The Minister of War said: "To be safe, should we also remove the troops and horses from the plateau?"
Judging from the situation of the Yan army in the Western Expedition, the retreat of the army will definitely be pursued by the Uighurs, and losses are inevitable. However, the family and the country are in trouble and they really can’t care too much. There is nothing more important than preserving the foundation and hinterland of Yan.
important.
Regarding the proposal of the Minister of War, several other people in the imperial study room nodded to reconsider, but Emperor Jingtai did not comment, lowered his head and began to think on his own...
After a long while, Jingtai raised his head again, but what he said had nothing to do with the current situation: "My original plan was to send the army to the plateau after Nanli was pacified, and let Mu Tong go to reinforce Zhou Jing.
The two armies joined forces to break through Renkha steadily, and then drove straight in to attack the Uighurs. As for the soldiers and horses withdrawn from the north, they were kept in the country as a reserve, and they can go out at any time if something happens."
At this point, Jingtai asked Wen Jinqian: "Jinqian, let me ask you, what is the situation of the Uighur troops on the plateau compared with their national strength and compared with our military strength?"
The question of Long Live is not very clear, but Wen Jinqian understood it completely and answered carefully: "The Uighur troops that invaded the plateau, both in terms of numbers and strength, are somewhat inferior to the army sent by His Majesty to Tibet.
But they took advantage of us and made us more passive."
"As for the comparison of national strength, it is also clear that the troops that the Uighurs fought on the plateau accounted for nearly 50% of the troops in the desert. The main force of our western expeditionary troops came only from the troops stationed in the western Xinjiang headquarters. In our country of China,
Of the overall military strength, it is at least more than 20%."
Jingtai smiled, slightly proud: "My Dayan's is more than 20%, and Uighur's is almost 50%."
Wen Jinqian nodded in agreement, while Jingtai took a long breath, and his tone was erratic and slightly greedy: "On the plateau, there are Uighurs, which are almost half the country's soldiers... If they can be defeated, most of the Uighurs' sky will collapse.
, our army will march forward again, break through the Tianguan, and march into the desert... It does not mean that we will definitely capture the Great Khan alive, but after this battle, it is inevitable that the Uighurs will be seriously injured. In this way... Nanli will be destroyed, and Tubo will be in chaos.
Now that there are not enough dog soldiers to threaten, the Uighurs have also suffered heavy losses, the overall situation of Middle-earth has been initially determined... What is left is the details. If I and everyone work hard, I, the Great Yan, will be able to dominate the world and recreate the unification of the Middle-earth world.
Sheng Jing. I and Yan... would not be happy to leave your names in history together with you."
Chatting endlessly, Jingtai poured out his original good plan, then changed the topic, shook his head and sighed: "What a pity! After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of the monsters in the Southern Wilderness coming out to disrupt the situation... The soldiers sent to Nanli
The whole army has been wiped out. The monsters are making trouble in our southern border. Sooner or later, they will kill in the central and eastern borders. There will be a protracted, bloody and brutal battle in the future. After the monsters retreat... Dayan will probably be seriously injured!"
What the emperor said was the truth. People will die in wars, and wars cost money. It is not difficult to infer the scale of fierce wars in the future based on the number of wars happening now.
It is true that the Yan Dynasty has the most wealth and wealth in the world, but if it undertakes such a war, it is inevitable that its muscles and bones will be broken.
Jingtai talked a lot, and the little Chongzi was obedient and promptly brought a cup of medicinal tea to the emperor to ask him to moisten his throat. Jingtai smiled and nodded to the little eunuch to express his gratitude. When treating his own people, he was still the same.
That crazy emperor was clearly a considerate and kind elder.
After taking a sip of water, Jingtai looked back at the Minister of War: "When the country is in trouble, foreign troops and horses should be withdrawn immediately to participate in the defense. This statement is correct, but if Zhou Jing comes back, it is like giving up the plateau to the Uighurs.
.The fierce battle between us and Shengfan... Let’s calculate it in terms of two years. The fierce battle lasted for two years. Shengfan retreated and the Yan Kingdom was riddled with holes. However, the Uighurs enjoyed the fruits of victory in Tubo, slowly turning their victory into benefits and growing stronger...
…One thing will be lost and the other will be strong. Will we still be able to defeat the Uighurs by then?”
Fighting will consume national power, and the war between Yan and Shengfan is nothing but a loss. An invasion war, such as the current Uighurs fighting Tibet, is another matter. If the Uighurs win, even if many soldiers die,
A large amount of military expenditure has been spent, and it will definitely be earned back in the future, but there is a key factor: time.
It does not mean that after the Uighurs won the battle in Tubo and occupied the land, they would immediately become powerful and powerful. It would take a process to slowly digest the fruits of victory and turn them into their own wealth and strength.
Now, the Uighurs who had just captured Renka are definitely weaker than before he sent troops to the plateau; but given time and allowing him to transform his victory, the Uighurs in two years' time will definitely be stronger than before.
The emperor's statement was correct, but the Minister of War was speechless.
It's not that the minister is stupid and can't even think of such a simple truth, but that the army that conquered the west will not come back. It is a dilemma. If you want to blame it, you can only blame those damn students.
The emperor had roughly stated what he meant. With his temper, most of the important ministers did not dare to persuade him. Only Wen Jinqian insisted on his duty and said what he had to say, even if it was against the holy will: "
If the Western Army does not return, and the main force attacks in the future, the defense may not be strong."
"It's not that we don't let them come, we just come back later. After they destroy the main force of the Uighurs, they can come back to save the country." Jingtai shook his head and laughed: "You also said that you are waiting for the next attack. The catastrophe is still there.
In the 'future', we still have time."
Wen Jinqian was stunned at first. Considering the situation on the plateau, the expeditionary force might be able to barely protect themselves. It would be a fool's errand to defeat the Uighurs in a short time.
But after all, he was a confidant. Wen Jinqian quickly guessed what Jingtai was thinking. After being stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed again.
Jingtai still had the same expression, but his tone quietly became more serious: "Don't I still have a large army in the north? You can do the math and see if it's too late."
The two ministers secretly looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Do you have to calculate? What to calculate? What is too late and not too late?
Wen Jinqian also showed a little confusion, and bowed to ask Jingtai: "Your Majesty wants us to calculate... Calculate the army in the north of Yan. If we attack the plateau first, help Zhou Jing's troops defeat Renka's Uighurs, and then rush forward
Can we come back in time to help the country? Can we come back before the main force arrives?"
Jingtai showed no expression and replied: "Not bad!" After saying that, he suddenly smiled again and turned to look at the two ministers: "Thank you, Master Wen. He is pretending to be confused to help you clear up your doubts.
"
Wen Jinqian had already guessed the emperor's thoughts, but he was still puzzled when he saw the two ministers. He couldn't directly raise the point in front of the emperor, so he simply pretended to be unsure, and ostensibly asked
The emperor asked for confirmation, but in reality he was telling his colleagues exactly what the emperor asked them to do.
The Minister of War looked horrified and was about to say something, but Jingtai could see what he was thinking and didn't let him speak at all. He said coldly: "I asked you to calculate, not to persuade. Those words are tasteless and useless.
They all rotted in my stomach!"
The emperor's meaning was very clear. He wanted his army to compete with Shengfan for time.
Not stupid, just crazy.
Jingtai has made it very clear before. Withdrawing troops for defense is a fair way. However, when Yan is fighting against the enemy, the Uighurs are growing stronger. After this disaster, Yan's previous advantage will be gone.
The dream of the most powerful country in the Middle East to compete in the world was completely shattered... This is something Jingtai cannot bear no matter what.
Therefore, the emperor wanted to make a dangerous move. The catastrophe was inevitable and the damage to the Yan Kingdom was inevitable. But before that, he had to hit the Uighurs hard so that they would not be able to stand up in a few years!
If it really succeeds and destroys the desert people's expeditionary force on the plateau, the Uighurs will be severely damaged and will not be able to recover for three to five years. When Dayan survives the catastrophe, Dayan will still be the most powerful country in the world in Middle-earth.
But this risk is too great! Not only will the troops marching westward not be withdrawn, but the northern army used to strengthen defense will also be sent out. What if the two armies fail to come back in time? Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and
How is it possible to calculate the exact date in advance.
No one can guarantee that the two armies from the west and north will quickly defeat the Uighur expeditionary force and return to the defensive position in time before the main force of Shengfan arrives at Yanzhonglu; however, no one can be sure that these two armies will be exactly the same.
You can't complete the mission. It's a risk, but there is indeed a chance...
After all, Shengfan is just the vanguard arriving at the southern border now. It will be some time before their main force gathers and rushes to the central and eastern key areas of Dayan. Moreover, there are already elite troops stationed in the central and eastern areas of Dayan. When the catastrophe sweeps over,
You can also work hard to support the previous period;
After all, when the northern army enters the plateau and joins the friendly forces, the Yan people will have a clear advantage. As long as the tactics are used properly, they may not be unable to defeat the Uighur army in one battle.
If a powerful empire wants to continue its rise, and if it wants to gain the initiative as much as possible, sometimes it has to take risks. Jingtai has made up his mind, and the discussions in the imperial study room are quickly concluded. Imperial decrees and military orders are issued at the same time, and he is stationed in
The northern army immediately set off and rushed to the plateau to support Zhou Jing.
The military order clearly stated that the reinforcements should move forward urgently and avoid all possible battles on the way. They should ignore the Nanhuo before leaving the customs and the Medog territory after leaving the customs. They only wanted to advance quickly, arrive at the Renka battlefield as soon as possible, and launch a fierce attack as soon as possible.
Uighur.
The army wanted to grab time, and there was no time to pay attention to those small disasters. But what Jingtai didn't know was that Nanhuo, who had been hiding in Western Xinjiang before, didn't need to be paid attention to anymore. It was almost when Zheng Zhuan led his people to conquer Hongyao
, Porcelain Baby made the decision without authorization, left Dayan with Nanhuo, returned to the plateau, and temporarily lived in the territory of Medog.
Jingtai came out of the royal study, and there was nothing wrong with the expression on his face. Only he knew clearly that his heart was beating loudly: Think about it carefully, 'Reinforcement from the Northern Army, first defeat the Uighurs'
Returning to aid the country is the most important decision he has made since he came to the throne.
The emperor wants to make this bet, and he can't tell the winner yet, but this feeling of fighting against time and luck with God is really the best!
The little insect followed Jingtai closely. As he walked, he suddenly stumbled, tripping on his left foot and tripping on his right foot. He fell to the ground and chewed up mud. Jingtai was startled by him and stopped to help him.
But the little bug was so agile that it jumped up again without waiting for Banzai to bend down.
Jingtai smiled and said: "You can fall on flat ground, what are you thinking about?"
The little bug patted the dirt on his clothes, making very small and gentle movements, for fear that the dust would splash on Banzai. At the same time, he replied with a grimace: "I didn't think anything of it, I was frightened by Banzai's courage."
Jingtai raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you afraid that I will lose? Are you afraid that the army will not be able to come back in time?"
The little insect hurriedly shook his head: "Don't be afraid... I will definitely make it in time... It's just that this matter is too big. After hearing about it, my mind was not in order. My heart was in a state of confusion."
Jingtai laughed again: "Don't panic, I have thought it all clearly... The key is not whether the two armies can come back in time, but that they have to win the battle of Renkana!" At this point, he asked the little insect: "
When disaster strikes at home, what will be the thoughts of the army fighting abroad?"
The question was simple, and the little insect answered immediately without even thinking about it: "Everyone must fight with all their might, and beat them to death so that they can come back and save the country."
"That's it. The catastrophe in the country is a great encouragement to Waierlang. After defeating the Uighurs, it would be best if they can come back in time. It doesn't matter if they can't make it in time. Don't forget that we still have six
Wan Jinxiu Lang, at worst, we will mobilize this team and let them escort you and I to join the army in Tubo."
Jinxiulang was an elite member of the Yan army, and his reputation spread throughout the world as early as the founding of Yan Taizu.
"Do you understand?" Jingtai continued to smile: "There are two armies of mine on the plateau. As long as they defeat the Uighurs and join up with my Jinxiu Lang, looking at the world, no other country can compete with these troops.
Competing? In the worst case, we will give up the Eastern Land and Yan, base ourselves on the plateau, and then fight back the world!"
"Occupying the plateau will be enough to feed us, and then attack the desert. How can the Uighurs resist?"
The little insect had its mouth widened and stared blankly at the emperor, not knowing what to say.
The emperor only wants the army, not the country? It's still a madman's idea, but it has to be said that Jingtai's idea has merit... Send troops to the plateau, and if they can come back, they will save Dayan; if they dare not come back, at least
There is still his army on the plateau, and there is Jinxiu Lang in the country, so the emperor is safe. As he said: The key lies in that the coalition forces from the west and north can defeat the Uighur expeditionary force. In this way, even if the Yan Dynasty
Although the country was subjugated, Jingtai still controlled the most ferocious weapons in the world, and no one could compete with him.
