1396 Wickedness
Although Liu Qun and others have been living in the wilderness for many years and are under the fence, their background and experience determine that their vision is far beyond that of ordinary people. I had nothing to do before, and it was not that I had not discussed the strategy of fixing chaos in Liaobian, but I was not very optimistic.
First of all, the harsh climate in Liaobian, with long cold winters and short warm summers, is destined to be difficult to carry out large-scale, sustained and effective cultivation. Because in the past few years, whether it is the Jin people who were forced into exile here, or the local powerful Hu chiefs, they are all eager to go to the Youji and other regions where the geography and climate are far superior.
The second is that the Liao affair has collapsed for a long time, and in the early years, Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, tried to misrepresent and trespass, which also made these scholar groups in Liaobian no longer respect the royal system.
The former point means that there is a lack of the underlying foundation for long-term operation in Liaobian, and the latter point means that there is no consensus at the upper level to unify the hearts and minds of the people. Therefore, in the view of Liu Qun and others, even if the general trend of Xingtai unifies the north and the south, and even storms the Liaobian, it will probably follow the story of Emperor Xuan Sima Yi in the old years, move the Liaobian household inward, and divide and suppress the local Hulu, and it is difficult to create a deeper level.
However, it is normal for them to have such a cognition, the general trend of the world has always been dominated by the north and the south, and the south is rarely in the upper reaches of the competition for the general trend. Liu Qun and the others lack perennial experience in Jiangdong or Xingtai, so they can't have any pioneering strategies for Liao affairs from the perspective of Xingtai.
Wen Fangzhi's whole set of strategies is based on the absolute superiority of the strong naval army in Taiwan, especially on the sea routes, and its foothold lies in the operation of several port strongholds, and then covers the entire Liaobian border with points and areas.
Yun advanced and retreated, and first based on an invincible position, and then sought more from the interior of Liaobian. In this way, the obstacles caused by Liu Qun's previous insurmountable obstacles can be weakened to a minimum.
It is an indisputable fact that the southern navy is strong, and since the beginning of the operation of Taiwan, it has reached a new peak in this regard. The old Wu itself has the foundation of sea shipping, and during the period of Emperor Sun Quan of Wu the Great Emperor passed through Liaodong in the north and the Nanyang countries in the south.
General Shen of Xingtai, himself was born in the old clan of the local tyrants of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, and his ancestors such as Shen Ying of the Eastern Wu Dynasty recorded the old sea and land events of the Eastern Wu period in detail. In the early years, his family was in charge of Sanwu Huiji, and in order to alleviate the land conflict with the overseas Chinese in Nandu, he vigorously built the island. After that, it vigorously developed shipping, and Jiangdong goods flowed into Zhongzhou in a steady stream.
These Hulu heroes in the Liaobian are strong, and they still can't understand that they are dominating and dominating on land, and they are completely unable to resist in the face of the invasion and infiltration of Xingtai on the sea route.
Because of this difference in cognition and thinking, it is difficult for Liu Qun and others to evaluate the plan proposed by Wen Fangzhi. However, Xu Lang, a general who had newly arrived in Liaodi, made a lot of additions in terms of details.
Xu Lang is in the army, and his father Xu Mao has served as the governor of the navy all the year round, so he also has a deep understanding of the river and sea voyages, which is incomparable to Wen Fang.
Xu Lang first affirmed Wen Fangzhi's idea of taking island management as a starting point to build a sea route foundation, but then pointed out some technical obstacles.
Although Xingtai inherited the navigation foundation of the old Wu and made great progress, it has not yet reached the level that thousands of miles of sea waves are smooth, and it is also limited by the season, and the real sea route is very short every year.
In particular, Liaodi has a long winter, and sea routes are also quite restricted. For example, Qinhuangdao, Pinglinkou and other ports that come out of the circle of Wenfang, there will be a period of ice and difficult to travel every year, although Ma Shijin on the south side is not frozen, but there are many ice floes slightly away from the coast, and the wind and waves are changing and dangerous, so it is destined to be more than half of the time every year, and it is difficult for these port strongholds to echo each other through the sea route.
"Because the construction of these ports cannot be completely relied on by sea, the self-consolidation and echo of land cannot be ignored."
Wen Fangzhi also thought deeply of Xu Lang's supplement, and he didn't have the idea of completely relying on the advantages of the sea route. After all, the main purpose of the king's division going north was to recover the entire territory of Liaodi, pacify these Hulu forces, and make Liaobian a land ruled by the king. The main significance of this strategy is to make up for the lack of land by taking advantage of the sea route in the early stage of operation.
The proposal of Wen Fangzhi's plan also gave him a way to follow in the future.
Although the Youzhou Assassin Mansion has a certain amount of armed force at the moment, it is not too strong in the entire Liaodi, and those Hu Zhongyi are not credible, once they are involved in the struggle on the Liao Border too deeply, it is difficult to take the advantage. In particular, the Murong Tribe, although it has now been split into three parts, no matter which one of them has now, the power they have now is still more than the power they can use now.
With Wen Fangzhi's plan as a guide, they did not have to clash head-on with the forces of the Murong Department on land. In this way, they can also maintain the transcendent status of Xingtai, so that the forces of the Murong Ministry can regard them as external reinforcements that can be relied on, so that they can drive the tiger and devour the wolf more calmly and reap the benefits.
After determining the basic idea after that, Liu Qun also quickly entered the role: "At present, Murong has several roads, Liaoxi is the strongest, Da Thorn City is in the middle, and Liaodong is the weakest." The new division of the three roads is impossible to reunite in the short term. ”
The forces of the Murong Department in western Liaoxi are mainly Murong Zun, the son of Murong Hao, and the general Mu Yugen, because it is close to Youzhou, so the garrison is the strongest, and the forces of Murong Zun alone have nearly 30,000 people.
Coupled with the Liaoxi Incident provoked by Liu Qun and them before, the Murong Department collected the remnants of the Yuwen Ministry and other miscellaneous forces, adding up to more than 50,000 people, and most of them were Ding Zhuang's forces. Because judging from the current situation alone, this group of people and horses is indeed the strongest.
"But Murong Zun is also in great difficulty for a long time, Liaoxi is not Murong Ancestral Industry, and now the headquarters is in chaos, and it is even more difficult for the newly attached people to condense, and it will be better than collapse for a long time."
Not to mention anything else, Duan Lan of the single section department enthusiastically sent troops to Zimengchuan to rescue Wen Fangzhi and others, hoping to use this performance to seek the support of Xingtai, so that he could return to Lingzhi and restore his ancestral business. Moreover, Murong Ren has so many troops, but he lacks a foundation in Liaoxi, once there is no turning point in the future, the consumption of a single man and horse will be enough to drag him down.
"The state of Qian didn't trust the people of Donghu, so he conferred Murong Wannian, but he was also struggling. Now that the Murong Ministry has collapsed, Youzhou Zhang Ju may not miss this opportunity, and Yu Lingzhi must have a plan to take the Murong troops for his own use to help China's war. Therefore, this matter must be stopped, and the gains and losses of the Lingzhi are not the focus for the time being, and the people of Murong Zun's subordinates must not fall into the hands of the Qiang State! ”
If you want to avoid Murong Zun's subordinates being annexed by Xu Wu's Zhang Ju, the best way is to encourage him to return to the east. Liaoxi Lingzhi is too close to Xu Wu, as long as Murong Zun can lead his troops to leave Lingzhi and lengthen the offensive front, as the war in China becomes more and more intense, Zhang Ju does not dare to go too deep into Liaodi to plot this way.
This can also be easily achieved, and there is no need for them to come forward to instigate, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Murong Zun and Murong Jun itself. Murong Jun's murder of his father on the throne is a great violation of human morality, once he gets rid of his people, it is natural for Murong Jun to inherit the clan.
It is true that after the news of Murong Hao's death reached Lingzhi, Murong Zun had already sent a part of the forward army to the east to inquire about the news and wait and see the situation.
Not long after Wen Fangzhi and they arrived at the Tuhe River, they learned that Murong Zun had led 20,000 soldiers under his command to the east, and approached Zimengchuan in a very short time, and called himself the King of Yan, calling on all the people of Murong to be controlled by him, and jointly destroy the rebel Murong Jun.
In addition, Murong Zun also learned that Wen Fangzhi and their envoys from the Jin State were currently in the Tuhe River, so he sent his younger brother Murong Li to meet him, so that Wen Fangzhi, Liu Qun and others came forward to respond to justice, and called on the Liaobian people, including Murong Jiang and others, who were temporarily dependent on them, to jointly crusade against Murong Jun.
"Isn't this white slave stupid? Even if the rest don't care, just if he pretends to be the king, he is the sworn enemy of our line, and he dares to expect the prince to come forward to help him? ”
Murong Hao has many heirs, and not everyone is a hero, and this Murong Zun is an out-and-out fool in Wen Fangzhi's opinion. Probably his people felt that they were strong and would definitely be able to defeat Murong Jun, because the Murong Li sent was also very polite, and they still regarded them as the prisoners of the Murong Ministry.
Therefore, Wen Fangzhi was not polite, and directly detained Murong Li and his party, cut off one of Murong Li's ears, and then released several Murong Zun's envoys to report to Murong Zun, Murong Zun is treacherous, evil, rebellious and untrustworthy, and has his own way to die, and Murong Zun is still evil, and he is about to follow in the footsteps, and he does not want to be supported by Xingtai.
"Nanban dares to bully me like this!"
After Murong Zun received the reply, he was also furious in his heart. He already felt that he was powerful, and he thought that Murong Jun had betrayed his relatives and left, and his return to the country would definitely be a success, but he didn't expect that the southern barbarians who were prisoners under the rank would dare to humiliate him so much, how could he bear this breath.
Because Murong Zun simply didn't even go to the Great Thorn City, after occupying the Dragon City under construction, he led 3,000 soldiers to slaughter the Tuhe River.
At this time, after Duan Lan escorted Wen Fangzhi and others to the border, because he was concerned about the situation in western Liaoxi and wanted to collect fishing profits, he helped Wang Shi lay the foundation for the construction of Qinhuangdao, so he led his troops back to Yangle. Therefore, at the moment, there are only nearly two thousand soldiers such as Murong Jiang and Murong Ping, as well as the thousands of royal divisions led by Xu Lang.
Murong Jiang and Murong Ping were timid because of Murong Zun's fierce momentum, but they only urged Wen Fang to avoid the edge for a while, and he might as well cross the sea and return to Ma Shijin first. In the final analysis, they are timid and greedy, and they just want to share the benefits with Xingtai, but they will never work hard for Xingtai.
Therefore, in this battle, only Xu Lang, the king soldiers, can be relied on.
Although Wen Fangzhi is not willing to directly engage in a battle and conflict with these forces of the Murong Department at this stage, it is really difficult to avoid the fools of the Murong clan from making mistakes themselves, and in the future, Xingtai will actually operate the Liao Realm, if he does not show his fangs, it will be difficult to deter these Donghu people, so this battle is imperative!
