The war situation in Goryeo has developed in a direction that no one expected.
After the three parties fought fiercely for a while, they actually showed signs of wanting to put off the flames and call a truce.
The situation before and after is roughly like this.
Fusang's amphibious assault and Donglu's cavalry sweep really devastated the Goryeo army. This time, it really hurt.
Of course, the stick army is not a vegetarian either, and it also costs the other party a heavy price.
In the eyes of the world, the outcome of this battle is either your death or my death, and it is unlikely that we will give up and make peace.
Some people even guessed the result: the coalition forces of Fuso and Donglu would most likely eat Goryeo alive.
But!
Once all three of them want to preserve their strength, the intensity of their actions will be greatly reduced.
This logic is a bit subtle and cannot be discerned without careful analysis.
Well, take the cooperation between Donglu and Fusang as an example.
At the beginning, they showed a certain degree of sincerity in cooperating with each other. However, when they were about to harvest the fruits of victory, they each made their own small calculations.
Emperor Meisho felt that he must preserve a certain degree of strength, otherwise, even if he picked the fruits of victory, he would not be able to keep the gains. If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of by the Donglu people.
Unless they can mobilize troops from the motherland, it will be difficult to maintain their numerical advantage.
However, this is unrealistic and cannot be realized in the short term.
In this case, in the subsequent battle, one's side can only use half of its strength. No matter what, it must retain its vitality.
Coincidentally, the Donglu people also think so.
They faced Goryeo in the front and Qi Jing in the rear. If they lost their vitality in the fight, what would they have to survive in the future?
By then, even if Bo has found a place to stay, he will not have the corresponding ability to protect it.
To put it harshly, if you don’t have two hard brushes, it’s just giving you a beauty for free, and you are also making a wedding dress for others.
Therefore, preserving strength is the top priority.
As soon as the two sides stopped fighting, the military pressure was immediately reduced, and Goryeo also got a rare chance to breathe.
Jin Liufu sized up the situation and quickly made a peace request to the enemy, and also made relevant conditions: Don't you want our country's territory? Well, let's just make three out of three and one out, add two out to make five, and divide the original territory of Korea among the three parties.
Of course, the premise is that there must be a truce.
Not surprisingly, this proposal immediately received a strong response from Donglu and Fusang.
Instead of fighting to the death and breaking your muscles and bones, it is better to stop when appropriate and preserve your strength.
Before you have the absolute strength to eat the other side, peaceful coexistence is indeed a very good choice.
All parties agreed tacitly and immediately began to stop the fighting.
However, this is what Da Fengchao and Qi Jing don't want to see.
If a triangular coexistence relationship is established between them, it will be difficult to break it in a short time.
Suppose you send troops to fight against them, and they unite the front, share the same hatred, and join forces to deal with them. What else can you do except stare at them?
Their change of attitude is in line with the old saying in the political arena: There are only eternal interests, but no eternal enemies.
Interests can turn enemies into friendship, and interests can also make friends turn against each other.
This is true at the micro level, and it is also true at the macro level.
As the situation became more complicated, the Mobei Army immediately assumed a gourmet attitude.
Before finding out the details, Qi Jiajun chose to wait and see.
Compared to Qi Jing, who was as stable as Mount Tai, Yin Jun, who was supervising the troops on the front line, seemed a little unable to sit still.
He didn't particularly care whether the Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed or not, but the Fusang people must not take root on the shores of Da Feng.
Otherwise, how will I, China, be able to settle down in the future?
no!
You must find a way to break the opponent's balance.
Yin Jun thought for a while and quickly formulated a related solution, that is, taking the sea route to attack Fusang.
The advantage of doing this is that you can avoid their common enemies.
This is not a wild guess, but is based on evidence.
The Donglu side only had cavalry and no navy; while Goryeo, although it had a navy, was close to being destroyed. If there is a water war, the Fuso people can only fight it alone. Even if the other two parties want to help, they are unable to help.
In this way, wouldn't they avoid their joint confrontation?
The only thing I am worried about is whether Dafeng's navy can defeat the Fuso fleet.
Judging from the senses, the strength of the two sides should be evenly matched; but from a practical perspective, the opponent's experience is far richer than Fengjun's. Let the novices compete with the veterans, and the possibility of making a profit is not very high.
So Yin Jun expressed this concern openly.
After listening to this, Hong Tao judged objectively: "In terms of equipment, the configurations of both sides are close to the same; in terms of strength comparison, Fengjun still has a slight advantage. If it starts a head-on fight, it should be a draw."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "It would be great if General Fu Xian didn't leave. He has extremely rich experience in naval battles and is a bit better than me. Under his command, Fengjun will definitely be able to exert a high momentum... …”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long, the commander of the imperial navy, was a little unhappy. He said with a sullen look: "Why, General Hong, relying on his own power, doesn't look down on our imperial navy? Fu Xian is a small local As a civil servant, what qualifications does he have to command our imperial army? Huh, that's outrageous!"
Hong Tao was not a good person. When he saw the opponent opening his mouth to criticize, he immediately criticized: "When marching and fighting, you rely on your own true ability, not the so-called power background. I said that General Fu is very capable, and that is true. Based on this! In the battle to regain Dawan and Nanyang, he never suffered a defeat and repeatedly made extraordinary achievements! This is not counting his great achievements in crossing the ocean and bringing grain from outside the territory back to China. Governor Zhang is so proud, so he doesn’t know How does your military exploits compare with his? What great victories did you have in the military?"
"this……"
"Hmph! Yelang is arrogant!"
When the facts are laid out in this way, the gap is immediately apparent.
Zhang Long was so embarrassed that his face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time.
Seeing his deflated look, Hong Tao couldn't help but smile proudly: You made General Fu angry, I will repay you in full now and use the same method to humiliate you.
After he stopped laughing, he corrected his expression and said to Yin Jun: "Master Yin, the general should not be involved in the dispatch of the imperial army. However, if the general's position is needed, you can give orders as soon as possible. For example, take over This sea raid came down."
"This must not be done!" Zhang Long interrupted before Shangguan could answer.
