Tashan is really not far from Ningyuan City, dozens of miles away, and even standing at the head of Ningyuan City, you can roughly see the current battle in Tashan.
This battle is destined to leave a brilliant mark in history.
The total strength of Liao Town is nearly 100,000 soldiers, which is close to you, but you are sitting and watching the friendly forces be surrounded without any movement.
In this way, let alone the public opinion in the world is booming, even within Liao Town, there are still quite some doubts and even opposition.
If these oppositions had played some role in the past, but now the Liao people's strategy of defending Liao territory has been implemented for a long time. Mangui and Zhao Rujiao, who were once very influential in Liaodong, were all transferred from Liao Town.
Then in the battle to fight for the kings in the capital, they died and were lonely. Now, these opposition voices could not cause any storm in the situation where the Liao people were in charge of all power, and disappeared completely.
As for the lowest level soldiers...
From ancient times to the present, we have only obeyed orders. Even if we have any confusion or doubts, we only dare to keep it in our hearts. What's more, for any military group of any era, the information channels are closed, the knowledge is short-short, and those who can see clearly are only a very small number, and they cannot affect the overall situation.
Tashan was covered with bloody storms, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and even the rest of the towns and forts in the entire Liao Town were all peaceful, as if this war did not exist in Liaodong at all.
Of course, looking at the entire Liao Town, besides Tashan, there is another place that is also not peaceful.
That is Shanhaiguan!
Zhao Wu, the eldest son of Zhongyi, was originally in charge of the Beijing camp and led the remaining army in the Beijing camp. He should support each other with the imperial guards in the imperial city to stabilize the capital.
Now, he naturally led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to Shanhaiguan under the order of the emperor.
This is undoubtedly not a good job. Although Liao Town has opened Shanhaiguan and is willing to let the Beijing army settle in, the Battle of Tashan is in full swing. Should he support or not?
If you don’t support, I’m sorry for your robes and my morals, I’m afraid I won’t have a foothold in this Beijing army in the future!
But if it is supported... why is Tashan surrounded? Liao Town is an unavoidable problem.
Fortunately, the army arrived at Shanhaiguan and the military order originated from the southern desert grassland.
Control Shanhaiguan without supporting Tashan!
With this military order, Zhao Wucai finally breathed a sigh of relief. The army entered Shanhaiguan and, together with Liaozhen, stationed in the world's most powerful pass. They were all the soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty, but their power was the same as water and fire.
Of course, all this is just the beginning. The word "military orders are like mountains and control" clearly illustrates Li Xiu's thoughts. Zhao Wu naturally understood that although it is not easy to grasp the balance, it is much easier than going out of Shanhaiguan and facing conspiracy from all directions, if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.
In fact, since the Jingying Army entered Shanhaiguan, the conflict between the Jing army and the Liaozhen border army has never stopped.
Although the leading generals of both sides faced each other with smiles and maintained their last face, the soldiers in the middle and lower levels were different, especially the soldiers in the Beijing camp!
Both of them are in the capital camp, but now they are completely surrounded by the Later Jin Dynasty and are in a tough battle. What is the reason? This is a tacit matter.
The upper-level generals should take into account the influence and maintain the final decent before the situation is clear, but the middle and lower-level soldiers would not think so. If Zhao Wu had not tried his best to suppress, after the Beijing army entered Shanhaiguan, the army of the Beijing camp would have been aimed at the Liaozhen border army in Shanhaiguan.
Even so, the soldiers on both sides clashed constantly every day. The soldiers of the Beijing camp no longer regarded them as friendly forces for the Liaozhen border army...
Every place in Shanhaiguan exists in the border troops of Liaozhen, which exists in the Beijing soldiers. They are like guarding against thieves. In this situation of water and fire, the entire Shanhaiguan is also in a mess.
Under such a situation, the situation of this war has become clear again.
The battle to destroy the country that was originally expected by the government and the people was already a delusion.
Now, for the Ming Dynasty, what we need to do is naturally how to preserve the current results and even how to avoid losing the strategic advantages we have gained at present.
In this way, the situation of war is also very obvious.
There are two centers of gravity, Monan and Tashan!
Or, now, it depends on whether Zhenbei Hou first resolved the Later Jin and Mongolian coalition forces in the south of the desert, or the Later Jin first resolved the Jingying army in Tashan.
Other factors, under the influence of Liao Town, are already difficult to affect the changes in the battle situation.
The situation of the war has once again attracted attention. Of course, at this moment of attention, the public opinion confrontation against Liao Town is still very controversial.
However, compared with the public opinion storm among the people, the court gradually became calm after experiencing the initial turmoil.
The court officials naturally could see that the current situation was meaningless. If Zhenbei Hou won this battle, he would definitely settle the accounts with Liao Zhenzhou. At that time, he would just take revenge and revenge.
If you lose...
Liao Town is still Liao Town. No matter how many jokes are, it cannot hurt Liao Town at all.
Compared with the uncertainty and uneasiness of the court officials, they can only confirm the development of the situation. For Li Xiu, the planner of this battle, all this was unexpectedly unexpected, but overall, it was still under control and there was no need to worry too much.
He is not sure whether Tashan can be kept.
However, in Li Xiu's opinion, there should be no problem with the Mongolian Later Jin coalition that lasted until he solved the southern part of the desert.
After all, there is one thing that the thieves from the Later Jin and Liaodong had never expected.
That is, at the beginning of the war, Li Xiu was vigilant against Liao Town. Yan Shun and his team were slow to go from the capital to Liaodong, and the marching speed was extremely slow. Under such circumstances, a large number of military equipment and food were all following the army.
Under such circumstances, although it is now besieged, it is still no problem to supply the Beijing army with only the food and grass carried by the army for one or two months.
One or two time was enough for him to solve the Later Jin and Mongolian coalition forces in Monan.
Once he swept the south of the desert, as long as Liao Town does not tear the last face and rebels, the Ming Dynasty's strategic advantage over the Later Jin Dynasty will be destined to be inevitable.
The siege of Tashan by the Later Jin Dynasty is destined to end in vain.
However, with Liao Town's bold behavior this time, Li Xiu really didn't dare to have any hope for Liao Town's integrity. This is also the most important reason why he ordered Zhao Wu to order him to control Shanhaiguan.
As long as Shanhaiguan is in his hand, wait for him to pacify the southern part of the desert, and in Liaodong, will it be the rebellion of Liaozhen Juzhen or the entire Tashan army be wiped out!
No matter what chaos is, it can lock the influence in Liaodong and will not ruin the world.
Of course, if the situation really evolves to that point in the end, the strategic purpose of this war can be considered a failure to some extent, and even, in terms of the overall strategic situation, it will deteriorate!
In the handsome tent, staring at the map of the Ming Dynasty hanging in front of him, Li Xiu's eyebrows could not hide his worries.
If it really evolved to that point, the Liaodong Corridor, a natural danger that could be called an insurmountable for the Later Jin Dynasty, would become a smooth road.
In this case, how could the Later Jin Dynasty try hard to detour Mongolia? It would definitely be a desperate battle with Shanhaiguan. After all, after Shanhaiguan, it is a smooth road, only hundreds of miles away from the capital, and there is no danger to guard!
For the Later Jin Iron Cavalry, it is comparable to detouring through Mongolia, crossing a swing, and facing countless difficulties and obstacles, which is not much more cost-effective!
Moreover, Shanhaiguan is not completely controlled by him now. Liaozhen has also hoarded heavy troops in Shanhaiguan!
"Shanhaiguan, you must master it..."
He murmured to himself, Li Xiu leaned against the back of the chair, collapsed all over his body, rubbed his forehead, and his tiredness was hard to suppress. He had to face much more than this.
Even though Shanhaiguan was in his hands, he didn't need to pay attention to it, and he needed to carry all the attacks of the Later Jin soldiers who were allowed to be carried by Liao Town.
The strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves will be in parallel in person, which undoubtedly goes beyond his plan.
After all, the ultimate reason for his launching this battle was to have a good external strategic environment after the emperor's death, which would allow him to calm down the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty and stabilize the situation.
Nowadays, under such changes, there are undoubtedly internal and external troubles, all of which are present. If the emperor is safe, he will be in charge of the center and stabilize the situation and he will command the army to pacify the four directions. No matter how surging these troubles, they will be able to be solved one by one.
But, how long can the emperor last?
If the emperor dies, the young lord ascends the throne.
That is the real boiling time!
After resting for a while, his thoughts gathered, Li Xiu forced the deep worries in his heart, and focused his attention on the battle situation in Monan in front of him again.
He has chosen the way.
No matter how difficult it is, you can only go step by step.
Chapter completed!
