Fengluan Hall fell into silence.
Everyone is worried about this. At this point, even if the Wuming Covenant can be accomplished, the effect will be greatly reduced.
Although Jeju Island is good, it is not the core of the Ming Dynasty.
With war on the front line, suppression on the front line, and inequality between the two places, the Ming Dynasty will surely be dragged into a long-term state of bloodletting, and food and grass will definitely come first to itself.
So, is this covenant still necessary?
Even if the Ming Dynasty could keep an eye on the pressure and make a bold move to suppress the Lianghuai River and send a large army to attack the Song Dynasty, it would not be able to solve the food gap of the Wu Dynasty in the coming year!
The key is, we still don’t know how many forces were involved overtly or covertly behind the Lianghuai riots?
trouble……
Da Sima's breathing slowed down a little, and he opened his eyes after closing his eyes for a long time. "If everything is really impossible to avoid, then we will fight first. Taking advantage of the current dry water of the Yellow River, we will be ruthless. We don't want the Song Dynasty to be convinced, but to destroy it." Understood the Song people’s plan!”
When the water is mixed, no one can escape. Rather than being splashed with dirty water, it is better to seize the opportunity yourself.
There was no equation. As soon as the game started, the Wu Dynasty mostly wanted to sit back and watch, because they could not imagine the Song people's subsequent moves.
But now that they understood this and united with the Ming Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty seized the opportunity to take the lead.
"good!"
"Without equations, we can't see the overall situation. There was chaos in the Ming Dynasty and chaos in the Huaihe River. We can only applaud and sit aside and watch the storm. Even if we can think of the chaos in the Huaihe River and the Wu Dynasty, it will only be a few months later. By then, it will be difficult for us to do spring plowing!"
Spring plowing is the most important solar term of the year. The less grain is produced in a place, the greater the significance of spring plowing.
For spring plowing and autumn harvest, the Wu Dynasty could slow down everything.
Perhaps the people of Song Dynasty had considered this, and then chose this time to kick off the whole game, gradually closing the net and finally playing with all the countries in the palm of their hands.
"As soon as the spring plowing is over and the snow in the north melts, the Kingdom of Jin can move forward!"
After Da Sima finished speaking, Xia Abacus continued, "What we can see can also be seen by the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Zhengde's character will never just resist beatings without fighting back. He will definitely contact us and promise many conditions to let us To besiege Wei and save Zhao, it takes time to think and prepare. This is a backstab from the Jin Kingdom. We can only care about ourselves first. If we fail to do what we promised, the covenant will be void!"
"Once the covenant is broken, the Ming Dynasty will have no time to take care of itself in the short term. At this time, someone sees the Song Dynasty's purpose, and we lose credibility..."
"In this way, all forces can destroy the Song people's strategy, and only the Liao Kingdom is left. The Liao Kingdom is controlled by the Tatars, and there are many connections between the Tatars and the Song people!"
Da Sima, Xia Abacus, you said something to me, half-guessed and half-blinded about what might happen next.
"How much thought was put into this?"
The empress shuddered, and Fang Fang's figure frequently flashed before her eyes.
Without the mention of the equation, these speculations are likely to occur. In this way, the factors that can affect the Song people's victory over Hexi will be far away as the rhythm follows.
If a country loses its credibility, there will be no cooperation in the short term.
When she thought that Hexi would be taken away by the Song people in this way, the anger in the empress's heart couldn't stop rising.
You can lose on the battlefield, but what's the point of being plotted against?
"Now that we're fighting, how much can we move?"
Fight, I must fight, if I don’t fight, I won’t be able to swallow this breath.
Even the Ming Dynasty could not afford the manpower to mobilize troops on two fronts, and the Wu Dynasty, which was short of capital and supplies, was even more so. Taking advantage of the fact that the snow in the north had not yet melted, they wanted to fight first.
Hit, turn passive into active!
Once the fight is done, the follow-up matters may be gone.
"Huang Yi is in the Ming Dynasty. He will send a special envoy to visit the Ming Dynasty again. He will arrive in twenty days. There is no need to send the news back. It is enough at the border!"
If we really fight, we must communicate with Ming Chao now.
For a long time in the future, no matter what angle they consider, the Wu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will come together. As long as they don't take advantage of the situation, there is a high probability that they can negotiate.
"Twenty days of preparation is a bit urgent. Thirty days is the line, and it is best to prepare for forty days. The Song people are not stupid. No matter how many things they do, they must defend the east of the river. Longmen can only pretend to attack. The main force should be sent from Wei County. Ten thousand heavy cavalry, thirty thousand light cavalry, and fifty thousand soldiers can intimidate Sili!"
The Song people were not that big, they were rich, skilled in craftsmanship, and had extremely good defensive talents.
For a possible city defense battle, the Song people could prepare millions of arrows, tens of thousands of barrels of kerosene, and countless rice, flour, money and grain.
The main defense concept is just dragging, relying on financial resources, to drag you on for a few days, ten days, or even hundreds of days, dragging you until you are exhausted, dragging you until you have logistics problems, and then watch from the city wall. You leave.
Field battles, positional battles, and sieges are also the main consumption. Anyway, there is no shortage of these in the warehouse.
The concept is good, and the generals who implement it can also implement it well, but it is a pity that the decision-makers in the city are not good at it. They are timid and fearful, with weak kneecaps. They can't help but want to spend money to get rid of people with gold and silver whenever they have the opportunity.
Otherwise, with this turtle routine, no one can do anything to him.
Even though Da Sima was itching to see the ruthless people, he never thought about conquering the cities of the Song Dynasty and occupying their villages. His idea was to be quick and efficient. If he could fight, he would fight. If he couldn't fight, he would run. The city is the subordinate, and this is what Wu Dynasty is best at.
"The key to this battle is to attack the heart, and to help the Ming Dynasty cut off the Song Dynasty. If we complete either one, we will not lose. If we complete both, we will win a big victory!" Xia Abacus held it in his hand. Crush walnuts.
If Lianghuai is in chaos, there must be people behind it, and no one will answer the empty slogans. If you want to buy your life, you must be given gold and silver, and you must be given weapons.
You won’t know the consumption of weapons until you start a war, but once you start a war you will understand that this is a gold-swallowing beast.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not support it, so they can only send it to them through the Song people. Sending troops from Wei County can deter the Song Dynasty in the east, and cut off the road to the Huaihe River in the south. This road is broken.
The rebellion in Lianghuai is like rootless duckweed and can be extinguished at any time.
This could be seen by warriors, and it could also be done by Ming people. Unfortunately, it is easier to attack the north than to attack the south, but it is difficult to attack the south. In addition, the Ming army is still separated by the Huaihe River, so it can only be imagined at best.
"First free yourself, then help the Ming Dynasty!" The empress made the final decision.
A covenant must be established, and self-preservation must come first. It is okay to give some benefits casually, but it is impossible to pay for one's life for the Ming Dynasty.
What the two elders said was very comprehensive, and it would not be a big problem to act accordingly. However, the empress finally had some empty space in her heart, and she was thinking more about equations.
Militaryly, the equation has not shown up, but what if it is hidden like Zeng Jin?
After completing the step from passiveness to activeness, the empress clearly wanted more.
"The key to mobilizing troops in this battle is that Hexi, Wei County, and Qingzhou do not need to be on guard, and the borders are not subject to martial law. However, the Yuyang front line must be reminded that if you are not afraid of anything, be afraid of ten thousand!" Da Sima spoke again.
Accidents are eternal, and the top counselors can only calculate the development pattern of things probabilistically. If the Song people's plan was foiled, can the Wu Dynasty's ideas really be implemented?
Not necessarily, so we still have to lay it out from the worst angle.
No matter how bad the situation was, it was still no worse than forty years ago. After all, if Ming didn't want to side with the Wu Dynasty, he had to side with it.
