It is one thing to be able to stabilize the government.
Facing a foreign invasion is another matter.
Strategy and military affairs are two completely different things. At this moment, Li Jinzhu was no different from the civil and military ministers in the hall. He was full of panic and regret.
real.
Li Jinzhu has done many things in his life, some right and some wrong. Sometimes mistakes are made and good people are killed.
But she never regretted it.
Everything is for their own status, listening to politics behind the curtain.
But now she regrets it. He regretted sending envoys there to win over Wu Nian. After being rejected, he cooperated with Meng Yuan to contain Wu Nian.
Regret sent 50,000 soldiers across the Yalu River to seize the land of Liaodong.
Without antecedents, how can there be consequences?
If she hadn't coveted the land in Liaodong, with Goguryeo's strength, there would have been no problem in protecting herself. And with Wu Nian's attitude.
The goal is only to "drive out the Tartars and regain Liaodong."
Then according to the plot of the Han people's struggle for hegemony, Wu Nian would only point his sword at Chu State instead of staring at Goguryeo.
it's good now.
She proactively messed with people she shouldn't have messed with.
and. She also underestimated the enemy and was careless. The Liaodong Tiger is indeed a Liaodong Tiger. It can do things that others dare not do.
She obviously has the support of the Fuso people.
Wu Nian actually dared to attack her.
Really are.
What a reckless man.
Li Jinzhu shook his head slightly, now is not the time to think about this. It’s time to do what. She raised her head and looked at the important ministers in front of her.
Her eyes did not stay even for a moment on her father, the Councilor Li Yongshan. Instead, it fell on Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.
After Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng saw Li Jinzhu's gaze, they did not hesitate.
Li Yunchong walked out of the queue, cupped his fists and saluted Li Jinzhu and said: "The Queen Mother, don't worry. In my opinion, Wu Nian is just a turtle in a urn, and he can be caught easily."
"General Li is right. Wu Nian has fallen into the urn." Zhao Mancheng also walked out, cupping his fists and saluting.
Everyone knew that what these two people said was for the occasion, to boost morale. But when everyone was panicking, it was extraordinary for someone to stand up and say these words.
Li Jinzhu composed himself, became much calmer and calmer, and said softly: "Two generals, please continue."
Li Yunchong turned to Zhao Mancheng, nodded, and returned to the queue.
Zhao Mancheng nodded lightly, continued to clasp his fists and said, "Queen Mother Qi. Wu Nian is brave and good at fighting. With our current strength, it is difficult to compete with him."
"But the Meng Yuan people are eyeing him in the north. The acting prince Chunyuan led 90,000 households of soldiers to garrison in Huanglong Mansion."
"Xiong Wuwo is a famous general of the Chu State. He is stationed at Shanhaiguan and has 80,000 horses and infantry in his hands."
"These two people have old and new grudges with Wu Nian, how can they let it go? They will definitely raise troops to attack Wu Nian's back."
"General Toyotomi, in alliance with us, will definitely send a navy to attack Liaodong Guangchuan and Nanhai. We can also ask him to send an army to support us."
"In this way, Wu Nian is like a man who is against our four forces and fighting against 400,000 soldiers."
"Besides. Wu Nian has been fighting in Liaodong and has won the hearts of the people. But now that he has invaded Goguryeo, it is tantamount to going deep into the enemy's country, and he has no people to support him."
"Under such circumstances. I can't imagine how Wu Nian could not be defeated."
Li Jinzhu and the ministers became calmer after listening to Zhao Mancheng's words.
Li Jinzhu put his right hand on the table and relaxed his posture slightly.
"General Zhao. He is really experienced in planning the country and is the pillar of the country." Li Jinzhu praised first, and then asked: "So. What should we do specifically?"
Strategically, we despise the enemy, but tactically we value the enemy.
Although Li Jinzhu doesn't understand military affairs, he knows how to do things seriously.
Zhao Mancheng raised his head and said: "In the first step, I just said that I would ask Toyotomi for reinforcements."
"The second step is to concentrate the troops and station them near the capital. As long as the capital is there, Wu Nian cannot expand the results of the war. We rely on the strength of the southern prefectures and counties to compete with Wu Nian. Gradually, he can no longer afford it."
Having said this, Zhao Mancheng sneered and said: "With the land and population of Liaodong, if he wants to devour Goguryeo, it is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant. It is too greedy."
After taking a deep breath, Zhao Mancheng added: "The third step. It is a fact that Wu Nian has obtained Yizhou Prefecture and Jiangjie Prefecture. The navy camp we deployed on the Yalu River has become very dangerous. Immediately send an order to them to go north. Gather at Jiashan Mansion."
"As long as we complete the above three steps. With the national power of Goguryeo and the wisdom of the Queen Mother, the civilian officials will coordinate and the generals will fight to the death. It's just Wu Nian, it's nothing to worry about."
"Yes." Li Jinzhu looked at Zhao Mancheng's handsome and majestic cheeks, feeling his extraordinary momentum, and couldn't help but feel reassured, and nodded gently.
At this moment, an important minister came out, hugged Zhao Mancheng, and asked: "General Zhao. With all due respect. Now we have tens of thousands of naval troops on the Yalu River. Why don't we stop Wu Nian after we assemble?" Will our soldiers continue to cross the river?"
Li Jinzhu's eyes flashed and he nodded again.
Zhao Mancheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "The navy deployed defenses along the river to prevent Wu Nian from crossing the river. Now he not only crossed the river, but also occupied Jiangjie Prefecture and Yiju Prefecture. As long as he was more concealed, he could secretly transport many The army is coming."
"Besides, according to intelligence, there are 20,000 households of the Yalu River Navy under Wu Nian. Li Tianbao and Songping Yixin's navy of 10,000 households are already very elite. They can fight us fiercely and lose both sides."
"Now that Wu Nian has come in. Then rely on the navy as harassment. Let General Toyotomi, the Meng Yuan people, and the Chu people crush him."
"This is the best policy."
"That's it." The important minister suddenly understood. After nodding, he clasped his fists towards Zhao Mancheng and retreated into the queue.
"Okay. Everything will be done according to General Zhao's plan." Seeing that the ministers no longer had any doubts, Li Jinzhu stopped writing and spoke in a clear voice.
"General Li. I appoint you as the General of the Northern Campaign and the Defense Ambassador of the capital, with full authority to coordinate the defense of the capital."
"General Zhao. I order you to be the deputy defense envoy of the capital to assist General Li in setting up defenses."
"yes."
Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng handed over their hands.
"Everyone. Now that the country is facing a crisis, no matter who you are or what your position is. I hope you will set an example and the civil and military ministers who command the inner and outer dynasties will fully support General Li and General Zhao."
"We are hunting Liaodong tigers in Goguryeo."
"Let everyone in the world know that Goguryeo is a country that cannot be invaded."
"Whoever leads troops to invade will definitely die without a burial place."
Li Jinzhu stood up and looked down at the important ministers with fierce words and powerful momentum. The power of the Queen Mother is clearly revealed.
"yes."
Everyone bowed in response. Then he turned around and walked out of the side hall, and everyone went to perform their duties.
After everyone was gone, Li Jinzhu smiled bitterly and sat back on the throne, shaking his head and saying: "On the battlefield, how can anything be foolproof?"
"I turned the invasion of Liaodong into a defense of the country."
"It's really embarrassing."
