'We naturally have no chance of winning in a war of attrition with South Vietnam, unless we have the Song Dynasty to back us up!
''It's unrealistic. The Song Dynasty can't even support their own city. Will they come to help us? 'When Wu Yong raised this point of view, it was immediately rejected by Liang Chuan!
For the people of the Song Dynasty, they would only fight wars that were beneficial, or that would affect their throne, otherwise they would not even think about it!
There are a few officials who are really people-oriented. They only think about promotion and making a fortune. Soldiers are even more direct. They are paid by the court. Wherever they can earn benefits, they will do it. Where to go, no matter where you go!
'We have to take the initiative, we can't just sit here and wait for death! Wu Yong softly said a plan, and then calmly watched Liang Chuan's reaction.
'this! 'When Liang Chuan heard this, he thought this idea was extremely bold! This is a good way to catch someone by surprise!
'Say what you think! 'When Wu Yong said this, he must have his own considerations and plans. It's better to listen to what he has to say and see what to do next!
'Most of the people the leader has are Nong people, but they are not many in number. Even if they are all left in Guangyuan for defense, it will be insignificant. It is better to make the best use of them and let him give full play to their specialties!
''But you have also seen their fighting prowess. Although they are not afraid of death, they are more war-weary than anyone else now. It is not like sending them to the battlefield.
. ''It is precisely because of this that we let them taste the sweetness! ''Where does the sweetness come from!
''The reason why the South Vietnamese keep coming to invade the country is because they have not met the main force of the Song Dynasty. Their opponents along the way are all unarmed common people. Except for the officials who resisted, Mr. Su, the magistrate of Yongzhou, the others either took their money and ran away. , either diverting trouble to the east, or even paying bribes to the thieves so that the South Vietnamese can bypass it and go directly to attack other states and counties!
"Liang Chuan has never seen the tragic situation in Yongzhou with his own eyes, but he has heard countless people talk about it. Yongzhou was the city that was destroyed the most by the South Vietnamese, and the places below were no worse than them.
The people who ran fast left early, and those who stayed were all killed by the South Vietnamese. They even took away the women and young people and took them to the south to work as laborers.
But wherever they passed, not an inch of land was intact! 'Why are the South Vietnamese so crazy? Even if they pass by a small village with a few hundred people, they can get countless gold and silver by scraping three feet of the ground. The poorest people can pick out a few taels of silver, a few feet of cloth, and chickens. Ducks, sheep, and cows are useless!
''The villages of the Han people are even better than this. There are at least a few hundred kilograms of food, which is enough to feed a family for a year. As long as three or five villages are captured, half of the army can last for three to five months, and the entire army can survive. The reason why they were able to hold out under Yongzhou City for half a year was not because he had destroyed all the surrounding counties and villages. They didn't want to attack those farther away, so they withdrew their troops!
''The kidnapped slave laborers can help them transport grain and supplies, and the women can be used as a source of relief. With such benefits, how can there be no motivation!
''I also learned from Ruan Zhong's group that although there are many people in South Vietnam, the country is not monolithic. There are many conflicts between the north and the south, and even the local governments are independent of each other!
''What do you mean? ''The state system of South Vietnam is somewhat similar to that of other countries in the early Western Han Dynasty, but all the troops were taken away from the country. The fear was that the local area had enough troops to respect itself, and all the troops were sent to attack the Song Dynasty. I was afraid that someone in the country would take advantage of it. This is the time to cause trouble!
''Aren't they afraid that the Song Dynasty would send troops to attack their South Vietnam? ''This is where our confidence lies!
Wu Yong took out a map from somewhere, spread it out on the table, and said excitedly: "Chief, look at this map!"
Liang Chuan took a look and saw that it turned out to be a map from Guangnan to the Li Dynasty in South Vietnam! It has mountains, rivers, and the locations of villages and cities marked on it, but it's just a little rough, much worse than the map I remember!
When Liang Chuan saw this map, his heart immediately became excited and he asked anxiously: 'Where did this map come from? ''To be honest, the leader, Cao Buxiu, the Earth Master, is a talented person. It would be a waste to put him in a gold mine to dig for gold!
Liang Chuan looked at the map carefully and found that he could use equal height proportions and nondescript colors to annotate various terrains. It's really amazing!
This picture is just a little off in terms of orientation and terrain, otherwise it could have been used for marching! 'Cao Buxiu painted it?
''Yes, you didn't let me interrogate him, but I kept thinking about his origins, so I took Nong Yao and tortured him several times. This is the treasure dug out of him!
"Wu Yong looked at the map and praised it repeatedly: "I asked him who drew this map. He was in Qingyuan back then. There were experts there who knew the larger topographic map of the Central Plains. Guangnan is just a small area. The picture was drawn based on his personal experience in South Vietnam and Guangnan over the years!
I took this map to ask Ruan Zhong and others, and it turned out to be true to the actual terrain! ''Give me this picture first, I can modify it again!
Wu Yong thought Liang Chuan was joking. He took the pen he handed over, brought some more paper, and started drawing by himself. The map actually reached the west of South Vietnam, including Tianzhu and other places!
'Let Ruan Zhong and the others continue to add towns, big and small, all the way down to the county. Knowing that the big villages in the lower south are better, mark them all. This map will be of great use to us!
''Yes! Looking at the history of nearly five hundred years, even when the Tang Dynasty was at its most powerful, it conquered Nanzhao, but it never conquered South Vietnam. The land here was of little use to the kings of the Central Plains. I guess, even South Vietnam If they invaded the Song Dynasty like this, they would not go south, so the South Vietnamese dared to use all their domestic troops to attack the Song Dynasty!
''You are right, they will not attack South Vietnam in a few hundred years. . Liang Chuan sighed. The people in South Vietnam were pacified and rebelled. The place was far away and difficult to manage. What they got from them was much less than what they paid for. Moreover, they were often pacified today and chaos the next. They had no sense of shame at all. All dynasties Everyone has lost confidence in them.
As long as they don't cause trouble in this ghost place, no one in the Central Plains Dynasty will want to take advantage of them!
'more important! 'Liang Chuan listened for a long time, but this guy didn't even get to the point yet! "Leader, if our battle is just between Guangyuan and South Vietnam, then there is no need to fight. There will definitely be no good ending!"
''What do you mean? ''Only by pulling down the tiger of Song Dynasty can we have a chance of winning!
''There is a situation in the Song Dynasty, so they originally let the South Vietnamese conquer Yongzhou and sit idly by. Now that the situation in their country is almost stable, the Zhao Guan family will definitely not sit back and watch the chaos in the south. First, it has a bad reputation; If they want to gain official reputation and win public opinion for themselves, they will definitely send troops down. We are just taking the lead, and we are going to do it in the name of the Song people, so that the South Vietnamese people can hate the Song people, not the Nong people!
''If they only come after us, then this battle will be difficult! 'The more Liang Chuan listened, the happier he became. It was indeed like this!
It cannot be denied that for them, Wu Yong's strategy is the best among all the methods they can think of!
'What am I going to do now, you tell me, I will do it according to your arrangement! Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said: "Go and ask for people from Nong Zhigao. Nong Ren doesn't want to listen to Nong Zhigao, and he doesn't have a high desire to fight. Once he hears that the leader wants people from him, he will be even happier!"
''Then do I have to tell him all these arrangements? ''Of course I have to say that! ''The leader not only wants people, but also wants to tell all his plans to send troops to South Vietnam, so that he can gain Nong Zhigao's support!
''I see! ''Please make up my map again, and if possible, ask Cao Buxiu to draw two more copies. I will take them with me!
Liang Chuan really wanted to ask who the person who could draw the map was, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It was probably still Sun Houpu. Only this time traveler had this ability!
Wu took advantage of Liang Chuan's arrangement and immediately implemented it. He didn't go to Nong Zhigao immediately, but to Anon, and now he asked him to take Ah Yue to find a safe place to hide.
He has use for everyone around him, and there are still signs that he is not enough, so he can only let Anon do these things.
Liang Chuan couldn't believe it either. Anon and Ayue were busy in the kitchen again. They were either cooking or preparing ingredients on the way to cooking.
When Liang Chuan saw Ah Yue was there, he immediately thought of another reason to send Ah Yue away. 'Your grandpa Mazi has caught two bamboo rats and they are on their way down the mountain. If you don't go outside to greet them, I'm afraid they won't be your share when they get home!
'What! 'Who dares! Ah Yue yelled and ran out immediately. Using the trick of eating to scare her was a perfect success.
Anon spat at Liang Chuan and cursed in his heart, this bad guy is going to torture him again! Sure enough, when Liang Chuan saw Ah Yue leaving, he immediately bolted the door, picked up Anon, put her on the haystack, and pressed her on top!
'What's going on with you these days? It's like you've lost your soul! Tap tap tap! ''He's not my cheap son. He deceived me and made me unable to eat for several days!
''You're going to die! Although Anon was 'severely injured', he still reached out and pinched Liang Chuan's strong arm: 'Don't say that again in the future, it's inappropriate!
''Why is it inappropriate? I've cuckolded his damn dad so many times, and I've helped him take care of his mother so well. It's not too much for him to call me dad!
'Damn it, that guy Nong Zhigao designed a scam about the birth of a fake Buddha, and deceived himself into it, causing him to almost cast a shadow on the world. It is only right that a son pays his debt to his mother!
There was a raging fire in the kitchen, and there was also a raging fire on the haystacks! After sweating profusely for a while, Liang Chuan slowly said to Anon: "We are going to fight, did you know?"
''Um! Anon came back to his senses and said, "Does that kid Zhigao also want you to go to the battlefield?" There was a trace of panic in Anon's eyes, and Liang Chuan said pitifully: "I have no reason to escape, unless you are willing to leave this place with me!"
' At this point, Anon's eyes retreated again, and Liang Chuan comforted him: 'I won't force you, it will happen sooner or later. If we want to be together, I will have to bleed and shed tears for Nong. I can't escape!
' Anon turned over and pressed Liang Chuan on top of him and said, "Are you looking for me again..." 'You guessed it!
Liang Chuan put his hand on Anong's back and rubbed it, and said softly: "You can take the people from the Women's Federation to the mountains to take refuge. The gold diggers should also withdraw first. There will only be a few days of peace. There is no point in digging out anymore." You take them to Tianzhou to hide first!
''You want me to take care of Ah Yue, right? ''You are our last resort. As long as you are fine, we can fight at the front with peace of mind, you know!
'
