Chapter 52
After pausing for a while, the Barbarian King looked at Yu Wan with a complicated expression, "Gu said so much, I just want you to know that the wars over the past few decades are not the original intention of Gu. There are Qing soldiers in the north and Yu Ming in the south. There is no possibility of restoring the country. It is enough for Gu to only protect the last tribe members of the Khitan. After you return to the court, you tell Emperor Chongzhen that you and I can live in peace and eliminate the war!"
Unexpectedly, there are so many sad and tortuous stories behind it, and it really fits the saying: There are worlds where there are people, and factional divisions and intrigues are indispensable for any regime.
He accidentally annihilated 10,000 elite soldiers of the Shenmi family, greatly weakening the strength of his opponents in power. No wonder the Barbarian King was able to do his best and be so hospitality.
But then again, Xiao Jianbang is indeed a rare wise ruler. He has always been in power, otherwise he will have achieved something.
Yu Wan pondered for a moment and said, "King, there is a saying that should be said or not."
"But it's okay."
"I think it is extremely unwise to marry my daughter to an opponent as a bargaining chip."
"What did you say?!"
Xiao Jianbang's face changed, and his murderous intent suddenly rose and glared at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was really not shocking and never stopped talking. Princess Qianmo, who was so scared that she quietly pulled the corner of his clothes and signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Yu Wan was unmoved and continued to say, "Although political marriage can achieve temporary results, it will not be worth the money in the long run. Imagine that when you want to attack Shen Mi Ruichen, wouldn't Princess Qianmo become his best hostage? How could the king dare to kill him? In this way, the initiative will always be in the hands of the other party, and you can only be a mermaid meat."
"How could I not have thought that what you said? It's just that there is no better way to stabilize the Shenmi family."
Hearing the Barbarian King say this, Yu Wan laughed, "The best way to solve hidden dangers is to eliminate hidden dangers! Do you know, what are you missing the most now?"
Xiao Jianbang frowned and said, "Of course it is the right to mobilize all troops."
"No." Yu Wan retorted mercilessly. "In the eyes of the last general, what the king lacks the most is prestige. The emperor was furious and buried with millions of corpses!"
"Does the father not seem domineering enough?"
Princess Qianmo glanced at her father's figure and couldn't help but interrupt.
Yu Wan shook his head and said, "The domineering spirit mentioned below does not refer to appearance, but the aura that is exuded by power, built on the fearful iron power!"
"How can you have such power as you say?"
Xiao Jianbang looked at Yu Wan with interest. Although this man's remarks are inevitably a bit passionate and impulsive, they are indeed unique and there are many opinions that can be adopted.
It is indeed a rare talent for having such insightful opinions at a young age. It would be better for him to have half of his unsavvy son to have half of his knowledge.
Yu Wan said to himself, "Only blood can be quenched. There is a place that can allow the king to establish his power!"
"Don't you point to Anqing, right?" The Barbarian King smiled faintly and directly said Yu Wan's plan. "After taking such a big bend, I just want to send troops to help you in the end."
"Now, I can tell you clearly that it is impossible! The Anqing defenders have no less than 10,000 people, and the siege must be three times as likely as the enemy to win. Can you take the risk by holding troops from all over the country?"
"Don't rush to reject me."
Yu Wan seemed to have expected that he would react like this, and there was no trace of panic in his eyes. "Anqing City is the place where the East Army's grain supply is provided. The food and grass here can greatly alleviate the urgent needs of your army."
"Wait. How do you know we are short of food?"
Princess Qianmo asked with her eyes blinking.
Yu Wan smiled and said nothing, turned his head to look at Xu Hu, and signaled him to answer the question.
Xu Hu understood it and raised his voice, "This... did you come out of the mountain to rob and rob, because of the food. What can you hide from my brother Yu's eyes?"
"Even so, I can't send troops." The Barbarian King said helplessly. "After Shen Mituoning's death, our army will no longer be able to fight, let alone behind the high walls of Anqing City, the guards are so strict. What if Huang De heard the reward and led his army back and attacked each other, what if he did?"
"This king doesn't need to worry too much."
Yu Wan stood up suddenly and looked at Xiao Jianbang with a firm look.
"I have an elite unit hidden in the suburbs of Anqing City. Xu Hu can go back later and lead him to secretly sneak into the city. By midnight tonight, he will use the rockets as an order, cooperate with the inside and outside to capture the North Gate!"
"After taking Anqing, the king only needs to defend himself by taking advantage of the danger, wait for labor, set up an ambush halfway, and attack Huang Degong with Xie Liang's remnants, and he will definitely win a great victory."
"This battle allows soldiers to wear casual clothes, kill the Eastern Army and seize their food and grass, and then escape back to the Dabie Mountains. Without knowing this, the identity of your army was not revealed, and there is no need to worry about being settled by the Eastern Army in the future."
"As for you just mentioned that there is no credible talent for generals."
Yu Wan suddenly knelt on one knee and said extremely seriously, "I am willing to put on the battle for the king and lead tens of thousands of soldiers!"
After this planning, almost all the worries in the Barbarian King's heart were dispelled, greatly arousing Xiao Jianbang's interest. If this battle is won, it will not only maintain the balanced situation between the Eastern Ming and the Western Ming, but also make the Ming army have no time to take care of itself for the time being, but more importantly, the food and grass of this 100,000 army can definitely support the use of the entire tribe for half a year.
In this year of chaos and natural disasters, food is the real priceless treasure. Those who get food get military power, and those who get military power win the world!
If you win this battle, your prestige will be unprecedentedly improved, and then you will naturally take back all military power! No one will dare to question your ability again!
Yu Wan even defeated such ruthless people as Shen Mi Tuoning. At a young age, he was appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of War. He must have his own excellence. His command of this battle has added a lot of chances of victory.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
After hearing what the Barbarian King said, Yu Wan's half-hanging heart finally let go and finally moved him!
He cheered up and stood up quickly, "This operation is top secret, and the order must be unified. Therefore, the army of the Shenmi family cannot be used, but only the king's personal soldiers. And the most important point is that this battle requires the king to personally fight!"
The emperor personally commanded?!
Even Princess Qianmo looked at Yu Wan in amazement. His father had never led troops to fight for more than 30 years since he succeeded to the throne. He actually...
Xiao Jianbang first frowned slightly, but soon said with a firm look on his face, "Authentication! Gu will appoint you as the vanguard general and go to Anqing with Gu!"
The emperor was furious and buried a million corpses, and one person achieved success and all his bones were withered! He, Xiao Jianbang, was about to start taking back everything that belonged to him!
