Chapter 152: No choice
How can you win in this situation?
This was despite the fact that the Northern Army was restricted in logistics by the Yellow River, and it displayed more firepower than the Southern Army. When the logistics line is opened in the future, it will be impossible to maintain this situation.
After several battles, Sheng Yong has become acutely aware of this.
In this case, such a victory means nothing to the final victory.
If no changes are made, the final outcome is already doomed.
Sheng Yong thought for a long time and finally wrote a letter to Fu Youde.
He actually didn't want to interfere with Fu Youde. After all, Fu Youde holds the largest armed group in Nanjing and is also Nanjing's last trump card. Once Fu Youde participates in a big battle, no matter the outcome, he will win or lose. For Nanjing, they all represent passivity. .
Yes, fighting can be easily regarded as playing cards. All the cards here are played. There are still many cards on the opposite side, so there is no need to say the following things.
Moreover, Sheng Yong also hopes that Fu Youde will have more choices and be able to turn the tide. But Sheng Yong couldn't do it without writing.
Because Sheng Yong was fighting a war without bells and whistles. Such a war was a war of manpower and material resources, and he was bound to lose.
He could only place his hope on Fu Youde.
But who can Fu Youde place his hope in?
--------
When Sheng Yong's letter reached Fu Youde, Fu Youde had not slept for several days.
As an old man, this is very damaging to your health. But at this moment, Fu Youde couldn't care anymore. What happened during this period was difficult for Fu Youde to deal with.
Especially the collapse of the northwest battlefield was something Fu Youde never expected.
He had foresight about the northwest battlefield. But he never thought that Li Jinglong, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would betray him. And it was so straightforward, causing so much damage to Nanjing.
He has a way to make up for the holes in Guanzhong. But Hanzhong fell into the hands of Beijing, and he simply didn't know what to do.
At that moment he was confused.
If this was a game of chess, he would have given up.
This is no longer necessary.
But this is not it.
He must think of a way to find a way to win in the current situation.
After all, he was too deeply involved with Zhu Yunwen. Once Nanjing is defeated, Fu Youde's family will definitely be implicated. Even Ying Guogong's lineage will cease to exist. This is absolutely unacceptable to Fu Youde. As for surrendering to Beijing, it is simply impossible.
He has done so many things, and everything will be fine if he surrenders to Beijing.
War is a shuffle.
It won't end because he throws in the towel. Otherwise, these people who surrendered were in high positions. Where would the people who had made great achievements in this war be arranged?
Therefore, once Nanjing is over, the Fu family will definitely be over.
But he thought about it over and over again, and there was no way he could do it.
You can only win by taking risks.
But where does this danger lie?
Fu Youde has been deep in thought.
However, when Sheng Yong's letter came, Fu Youde made up his mind.
It is the place south of Guangwu Mountain.
Ye Chen's idea couldn't be hidden from Sheng Yong. One son and two conquests were indeed brilliant, but his son was also surrounded by both sides. As long as Fu Youde takes down Ye Chen, everything can be done. After all, Ye Chen's department is the elite of Beijing, and it is also the elite of He Xi.
Once Ye Chen's army is destroyed, the problems will be huge.
It's not just a matter of war.
In the war, Ye Chen would be destroyed once. Then there will be no problem with the defense line in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. With the Yellow River defense line stabilized, the Nanjing court can devote its energy to dealing with Sichuan's problems. It is very likely that a balanced situation will be formed in Sichuan.
Without him, Sichuan is too far from Beijing. It is simply beyond the reach of Beijing.
But Nanjing has the Yangtze River to Sichuan
Passable. Fighting in Sichuan is easier for Nanjing. However, this premise is that Nanjing has available troops and sufficient supplies.
Whether the supplies are available or not, let’s put them away first. Nanjing is already insufficient for the army alone.
From the beginning of the war to the present, Beijing has always been inferior to Nanjing in terms of the number of troops. But before and after this battle, something changed.
Fu Youde had to admit that Nanjing's army today is probably not as good as Beijing's.
The troops in the northwest are probably all from Beijing. It is very likely that the soldiers from Shanxi are also from Beijing. After all, we were fighting a civil war, and it was easy to turn prisoners into soldiers. In this way, the Northern Army would suppress the Southern Army both in quantity and quality.
This situation is very problematic.
For the Sichuan battlefield, all Fu Youde could think of was to mobilize troops from the front line. Naturally, this is where he is.
Nowhere else.
As for Yunnan, Fu Youde also thought about deploying troops.
Of course, Fu Youde's deployment of troops was completely different from what Nanjing thought of deploying troops. A small number of troops were deployed without any thought of abandoning Yunnan. After all, Yunnan was fought by Fu Youde, which is one of Fu Youde's greatest achievements.
If we abandon Yunnan, wouldn’t we abandon Fu Youde’s original achievements?
This is absolutely unacceptable to Fu Youde.
And if you want to draw troops from the front line, you only need to severely damage the Northern Army.
Second benefit. It is an internal blow to Beijing.
Ye Chen is He Xi's fist and one of He Xi's political supports. Once Ye Chen is defeated or even the entire army is annihilated, such a situation will definitely have an impact on He Xi's status. Fu Youde has also thought about it repeatedly. Why is Nanjing not as good as Beijing?
After much thought, he felt that the reason lay with He Xi.
On the one hand is He Xi's ability. Extremely strong. Fu Youde also admitted this. He would rather admit that he lost to He Xi than admit that he was not as good as Ye Chen.
On the other hand, it is He Xi's status.
He Xi's status is quite stable, and it can even be said that he can dominate the sky with one hand, but it is this solid political status that makes Beijing's political landscape quite stable. There is not much internal friction. Looking at Nanjing, there are almost all kinds of situations.
Many people have spent considerable energy fighting among themselves, resulting in the current situation. Now even if we want to unite, it won't work.
If He Xi's position is shaken. Then Beijing will definitely fall into internal strife. Regardless of whether He Xi can sit in his position again, there will be a period of time that gives Nanjing a chance to breathe.
If Nanjing can use this period of time to stabilize its internal situation and regain its strength, it may not be able to turn defeat into victory.
Of course, Fu Youde also felt that this was a bit mysterious, but after thinking about it, he found that this was his only hope.
He naturally knew what Ye Chen was thinking. Want to have a showdown?
Fortunately, Fu Youde now has no choice.
And he also believed in his own abilities. After the Battle of Hejian, Fu Youde felt the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides. That is this kind of outdoor battle. The more people there are, the stronger the Northern Army will be. The Southern Army is no opponent. But what has Fu Youde been doing all these years?
Isn't it just to change all this?
Now he has been doing it for such a long time. How could it have no effect?
And Sheng Yong told him clearly.
It is impossible to win a long-term war, a war that consumes a lot of energy. On the Yellow River defense line, especially the Luoyang line, it is impossible for Sheng Yong not to do his best and try his best. And Sheng Yong is also a leader among the younger generation in terms of ability.
He also saw Sheng Yong's arrangements in Guangwu Mountain, and it can be said that he has done everything he can.
But the situation still fell to a disadvantage little by little.
This is not Sheng Yong's fault, but that he is inferior to others. It's like a child fighting with an adult. No matter how powerful the child is and how superb his skills are, most of the time he can't win, especially without any tricks. In a situation where both sides are wrestling.
Then you can win when there is nothing wrong?
That is to take
If you fight with a sharp blade, you might be able to win by chance with the power of the sharp blade.
This sharp blade is this battle. Can you win? have no idea. Whether there is any hope of winning, of course there is. Of course, there is also the possibility of losing, and there are many, although anything can happen before the war is over.
However, the balance of power between the two sides is still there.
Fu Youde had no choice.
Nanjing has no choice.
And Fu Youde is confident, that is, with his many years of experience, how can he be inferior to a young boy like Ye Chen. The two sides were on the same level, so there was no way he could lose.
