Chapter seventy-seven hard work (2)
"Yang Aiqing, now you have come up with a complete plan?" I was also a little surprised. With Yang Juzheng's surname, since he dared to raise this matter, he should have really considered plans.
"Return to the emperor, the internal turmoil of Dawu has gradually subsided. However, as we all know, the three kingdoms such as Dali who declared their reading power have become more and more rampant. Several officials sent by the Ministry of Rites to negotiate were expelled. Some of the people of Dawu who stayed in these three kingdoms were also expelled. It seems that they have made up their minds to officially break off diplomatic relations with our Dawu. There will be no other way in the middle except for war. Otherwise, the rest of the tribes and countries that surrendered to Dawu will collectively rebel." Yang Juzheng talked happily, and continued
Continued analysis: "The Eastern Turks suffered a major change, and they suffered much more losses than Da Wu. Not only did Khan die in Japan, but also how many 100,000 elite wolf cavalrymen of the Eastern Turks trapped in Japan were 100,000. It can be said that these 100,000 troops are already half of the elite soldiers of the Eastern Turks. Although these 100,000 elite wolf cavalry are now plundering in Japan, we only need to support a pro-Da Wu force in Japan and force other forces to surrender with political influence. In this way, we can completely restrain the 100,000 wolf cavalry."
Yang Juzheng paused for a moment, looked at me and said, "The Shimazu family that helped the emperor should be a good choice." Seeing that I had not made a sound, he continued, "In this way, the Eastern Turks still have more than 100,000 elite cavalry left, which seems to be a large number. However, the formation of its country is fundamentally different from that of Dawu. The so-called Eastern Turks are actually many nomadic tribes of all sizes. The Eastern Turks Khan was alive, but now they have diverged between the major tribes because of the battle for the new Khan's position, and then friction has begun. As long as my emperor sends an elite force, it has been reconciled, stationed on our border. He can get along with each other and provoke disagreements. The purpose is very simple, which is to drag them to prevent them from reorganizing into a powerful empire, and constantly consume their manpower, material resources, and financial resources."
After hearing this, I became interested. Because he said before, Tao Qian had already told me before he died. However, when he arrived here, there was a difference. Tao Qian meant to directly destroy the Eastern Turks with force. I looked at Yang Juzheng and said strangely: "Yang Aiqing, why didn't Yang Aiqing directly assemble the 300,000 army, and matched the newly developed weapons from our dynasty to directly destroy the Eastern Turks with a strong attitude?"
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done." Yang Juzheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Although the Eastern Turks only have two or three million people and 100,000 elite soldiers, their soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and their ordinary people are also skilled in archery and horses since childhood. If our dynasty's thirty-one thousand troops directly invade force, the tribes that were originally divided will quickly unite and the gun heads are unanimous to the outside world. In this way, even if our dynasty's thirty-one thousand troops can win, it will probably take about five years. However, as long as the thirty-one thousand troops form a stalemate with the Eastern Turks, the domestic military strength will become increasingly empty, and the three countries in the Western Regions will probably be more confident, and the other small countries will have no worries. In addition, the existence of the black-handed saurus, the existence of our Great Wu Empire is in danger."
My heart was terrified, and I thought it was true. If the countries in the Western Regions united together to capture Dawu together when the national strength was empty, it would be a very terrible thing. In this way, Yang Juzheng's chaos that dragged the Eastern Turks with a small amount of troops was a top plan.
Seeing that I was silent, Yang Juzheng immediately continued: "After dragging the Eastern Turks, Xun immediately formed an army of powerful weapons such as our dynasty crossbow cannons, divine crossbow guns, etc., and used his strong strength to teach the rebellious Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions a lesson. Although they would not let them destroy their country, as long as they hurt their hearts and show their powerful strength, the strong strength of our Great Wu, as long as they send envoys, they can convince them to surrender to Great Wu again. At that time, the small wild countries that are ready to move will also become peaceful. By that time, the Great Wu Kingdom can already be considered out of the cold winter period."
Duan Hong, the Minister of War, also listened intently for a long time. After listening, he immediately asked: "Mr. Yang, if no other forces intervene when attacking the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, it is indeed as you said, and he can teach them a lesson in the short term. However, there are two main forces that will intervene. First, the Great Food Kingdom that encouraged the Three Kingdoms to rebel. The country has a strong national strength. If they take action, the situation of the war will probably fall into a deadlock. Second, the other small wild countries in the Western Regions, which are large and small, are not eye-catching, but if a coalition is formed, it may be a powerful threat to my Great Wu." It seems that Yang Juzheng has not considered this situation, and Duan Hong is not idle either.
"Mr. Duan said very well. These two are indeed fatal problems. Yang said that if the situation is not handled well, there are countermeasures for any problem. Let's talk about Dashi first. Although Dashi's national strength is strong, each of the surrounding countries is very powerful. For example, Tianzhu and our dynasty are both countries that believe in Buddhism and have good relationships. The emperor only needs to win over Tianzhu and announce the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance. Dashi dare not act rashly. No
Once he sent his army to fight head-on with the Dawu army, he may not be the one who attacked and defended the alliance in Tianzhu, even the evil neighbors of Dashi would take advantage of their empty troops to attack Huanglong. Therefore, the surname that Dashi dared to send troops was not large. Because once a stalemate was formed, the Dawu Kingdom would suffer a huge blow. However, Dashi might suffer the disaster of destroying the country." Yang Juzheng seemed to be prepared and had a very exquisite grasp of the situation.
"So, will the small and small wilderness divisions in the Western Regions form an alliance?" I looked at Yang Juzheng, and I couldn't see that Yang Juzheng had such a clever grasp of the times. The situation that made me and the other ministers feel very troubled, in his opinion, was like a grass chicken and a tiled dog. With a wave of his hand, he was wiped out.
"Those small wild countries have no need to worry about them." Yang Juzheng said slowly: "There are two reasons. First, those forces themselves are not strong. If any force is single-standard on the Great Wu Empire, they will probably be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Under the pressure of Great Wu for many years, they are still very afraid of the powerful strength of the Great Wu Empire. Therefore, they are afraid that in the early stage of the attack on the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, they will stand by and watch the situation. If the situation is not good for Great Wu, then join forces again.
Everyone pushed the wall up. If the Great Wu had the advantage, then they might have secretly helped the Three Kingdoms. If the Great Wu had the absolute advantage, then there would be a situation where no one dared to move. The second reason was that our dynasty should send a large number of foreign envoys to lobby or warn those small countries and fields. Even if they could not be completely unmoved, they could cause great psychological pressure on their minds. Moreover, another function of those envoys was to prevent the emergence of the Allies."
"Okay." I suddenly stood up: "What Yang Aiqing said is very reasonable. My dear friends, are there any other additions?"
All the ministers couldn't help but show joy on their faces. It seemed that they agreed with Yang Juzheng's strategic concept in their hearts. If the strategic goal is achieved, the Great Wu Empire will enter the cold winter and enter spring.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be responsible for all diplomatic strategies in one fell swoop." Wang Zhaoguang's eyes were full of energy and asked for his order.
"Okay, I promise you." I said lightly: "I will now appoint you as the temporary Minister of Rites. If the task is successfully completed, I will allow you to serve as the official Minister of Rites."
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's high hopes." Wang Zhaoguang knelt down heavily and said with a solemn expression: "If I cannot complete the task, I am willing to present my head to the emperor."
My words are not aimless. Wang Zhaoguang has been working in the Ministry of Rites since he took office. His diplomatic ability is very outstanding. Now the entire court may not be able to find a person more suitable than him.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to attack the Western Regions and rebel the Three Kingdoms." Jian Lingtai walked out quickly and asked in a deep voice.
I pondered for a moment, shook my head and said, "No."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee my surname. If I cannot promote the power of my Great Wu army, I am willing to slaughter myself to thank the world." Seeing that I did not agree, Jian Lingtai hurriedly knelt down.
"It's not that I don't trust you." I said slowly: "The purpose of the Battle of the Western Regions is to shock the enemy. However, the real key point is that the Eastern Turks are in the Eastern Turks. If they cannot successfully restrain and consume the Eastern Turks, everything else will be empty talk."
Jane Lingtai raised her head and said, "What does the emperor mean?"
"What I mean is that you will take on this task, lead 50,000 elite troops, cooperate with 100,000 guards on the frontier to restrain the Eastern Turks." I said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your trust." Jian Lingtai kowtowed quickly and said, "If you cannot restrain the Eastern Turks, I am willing to slander yourself."
"Let Zhang Huang go with you." I thought for a while and said, "You are the master and the deputy, and you must work together."
"I know." After Jane Lingtai gave up, she stepped aside.
Duan Hong was about to come out and asked for his order: "Your Majesty, let me leave the matter of attacking the three kingdoms of the Western Regions to the Wei ministers."
"I am just thinking of this." I said in a deep voice: "I have appointed you as the Grand Marshal of the West, leading forty corps, and directly exalted our country's power. Yang Aiqing, you also set out with Marshal Duan to serve as the responsibility of your staff."
