Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked solemn, sat upright, and waited for the next step.
Wu Nian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the door. A group of soldiers guarding the door bowed and saluted Wu Nian.
Wu Nian ignored it. After pondering for a while, he turned back and said to everyone: "Bao Jingji family, no. Bao Ryukyu people, the price paid is greater than I thought."
"The Toyotomi family wants to wipe out my maritime trade. The income from the shipping department, silver, and copper ingot exchange have all gone to naught. There are also ginseng, precious furs, etc., which will affect every aspect."
"And we don't have the ability to resist. Not to mention the two naval households of Matsudaira Isshin and Li Tianbao. Even with the two ten thousand households of the Yalu River Navy, we are definitely no match for the Toyotomi family, let alone Goguryeo. Navy? They are also a maritime power."
Having said this, Wu Nian laughed at himself, turned around, and said, "I am surrounded by only four neighbors. Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, Chu State, and Fusang, but they are all at odds with me. I can be considered a talent."
"Pressure from all directions is squeezing us. Our life is indeed difficult."
"but."
Having said this, Wu Nian held his head high, with a smile in his eyes, and said: "When we are weak, the enemy will certainly be strong."
"Especially the Goguryeo people. With the help of the Fusang people, they must have become arrogant. They thought that I would not dare to send troops to Goguryeo."
"I also told Wang Gui and Zhang Sheng before that I would lead troops back to Yingqing Mansion. I will honestly pursue the idea of Huanglong Mansion and complete the goal of [expelling the Tartars and regaining Liaodong] first."
"Now I have an idea. Thinking that when the enemy is proud, isn't it the time when their defenses are lax? Isn't that also a good opportunity to use troops?"
After hearing this, everyone frowned, and then each of them began to ponder. Let’s not talk about the civil servant Cheng Yulian for now.
Tieniu, Wang Gui, and Zhang Sheng were all people who followed Wu Nian from birth to death and fought countless battles for the rest of their lives.
We all know the principle of surprise when using troops to fight.
After the Battle of Liaodong. The vitality of the Goguryeo people was greatly weakened, and the Queen Mother united with the Zhao family to stabilize the situation in Goguryeo.
But they still stationed troops in Guangyang Mansion and trained the Yalu River Navy, exuding an aggressive spirit.
This is the opposite of surprise. Really prepare to fight when the enemy knows that they are going to fight.
This is a forced attack. The Goguryeo government and the public must be nervous. Li Yunchong was a talented general for a while, and Zhao Man became a great hero.
How easy is it to conquer Goguryeo?
But now the Toyotomi family wants to stand together with Goguryeo, weaken the Fuhan General's Office, and strengthen Goguryeo.
This strength appears to be reversed.
Wait for Goguryeo to relax its defenses.
But it complies with the art of war.
Take the unexpected and attack the unprepared.
on the contrary. Without the benefit of maritime trade, they retreated, and they didn't know when they would be able to compete with the Mongolian people for Huanglong Mansion.
And developing a navy to break the naval blockade of Goguryeo and Fuso was even more impossible.
It is better to use the army to defeat Goguryeo. Use Goguryeo's resources, population, and land to seize enemy supplies and head southeast to compete with the Fuso Navy.
Go north to compete with the Mongolians and Yuan people, and go south to confront the Chu people.
Turn four neighbors into three neighbors. With the steel knife in your hand, you can fight your way through the world, gain strategic initiative, and become confident and strong.
When Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Tieniu thought of this, their hearts moved, their eyes flashed, their fists clenched, and their heartbeats began to accelerate.
The sound of the beating heart is like a war drum.
With the steel knife in hand, the murderous intention arises.
At this time, Wu Nian said again: "In a few days, I will lead the troops back to Yingqing Mansion. I will signal to the outside world that I will never dare to take advantage of Goguryeo again."
"I also followed the example of the Queen Mother and sent envoys to Goguryeo to show weakness to the enemy."
"Then prepare the troops and horses in Yingqing Mansion and prepare to attack Huanglong Mansion. It will make the Meng Yuan people nervous and deceive all the neighbors."
"Secretly, I asked the Yalu River navy of two thousand households to prepare troops and build warships. They will continuously transport food and supplies to Guangyang Prefecture. This will lay the foundation for the advancement of Goguryeo."
Having said this, Wu Nian was already smiling, looking at everyone, and said: "How is it? Back then, the Queen Mother sent an envoy to give me beauty, Dongzhu, and ginseng. Now I use the same method to return the favor. The other body. Take pictures of cats and tigers."
"It's a good idea to imitate a cat and draw a tiger. The Goguryeo people and the Mongolian people joined forces and failed to attack us in a sneak attack. Stealing chickens will end up losing rice. Isn't it just like drawing a cat?"
"Once the general conquered Goguryeo, wouldn't he have painted a tiger?"
"I agree with this plan. Attack Huanglong in the open and cross Goguryeo secretly. Show weakness to the enemy."
Wang Gui stood up, his words were sonorous and powerful, like the sound of gold and iron.
"It's feasible." Zhang Sheng simply nodded and said.
"Although it's not decent to show weakness, if we can defeat Goguryeo, it's not a bad idea to show weakness." Tieniu touched his chin, a pair of tiger eyes showing murderous intent.
Cheng Yulian didn't understand at all, but his face was red, his fists were clenched, and his blood was full.
"Okay. Act according to the plan. We will gradually withdraw our troops from Guangyang Mansion."
"Go home."
Seeing this, Wu Nian no longer had any doubts and ordered with a smile.
"yes."
Everyone clasped their fists and bent down to salute Wu Nian, then turned around and walked out of the door, getting ready to go.
"Opportunities always appear in crises. But not everyone has the courage to take advantage of the fire. The brave will be starved to death, and the timid will starve to death."
"Within three years, I will invade Goguryeo. I will avenge the Queen Mother and the King of Goguryeo as my captives."
Wu Nian looked at the empty main room, sneered, raised his right foot, walked out of the door, and walked away at a fast pace.
The soldiers on the left and right in front of the door all bowed and saluted Wu Nian, and then followed silently.
...........
Wu Nian's troops stationed in Guangyang Mansion were very mixed. There are two guarding ten thousand households, and they are basically new soldiers. There are no problems with equipment, supplies, and food, but the combat effectiveness of the army is worrying.
The navy of the Yalu River has two thousand households, which is about the same as the garrison of ten thousand households. There are even fewer warships that can cruise the river.
The rest include ten thousand households with seven captains.
A total of 110,000 households of troops suppressed Guangyang Mansion. Like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the Goguryeo people, it exudes unparalleled killing intent.
now. Wu Nian retreated.
The troops of the seven major captains gradually withdrew their troops from Guangyang Mansion and returned to Yingqing Mansion. It was equivalent to gradually removing the sharp blade hanging above Goguryeo's head.
How could the Goguryeo people not be happy?
It's like eating ginseng fruit.
As Wu Nian's troops withdrew from Guangyang Mansion, the pressure on the Meng Yuan people immediately increased. How can Chunyuan not be nervous?
Even Xiong Wuwo of the Chu State, although he was sitting on a magnificent pass with mountains and seas, was under increasing pressure as Wu Nian mobilized his troops.
After all, since Wu Nian raised his army, he has fought and begged for every year. The officials, common people, captains, and soldiers under my command have done their best.
There is no spare capacity in national strength.
Struggle with military force.
Exactly the one.
The Liaodong tiger is unparalleled in the world. Every move attracts the attention of the world. All exude unparalleled influence.
