Chapter 1058: The So-called Nemesis (2)
The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no so-called nemesis in this world!" I think the most important reason why the Wei army won consecutive battles is that their imperial structure and composition are different from ours! β
Wan Yanliang couldn't help but be curious, "What does the queen mean by this?" β
"Your Majesty, although the Wei Empire has a vast territory, its large population, and the vast majority of them are Han Chinese, which allows them to fully control the local powers, and also to further control the newly occupied areas through immigration and other means, such as the current Northern Protectorate and the Wolf Mountain Fortress area! There were no Han Chinese in these places, but now the number of Han Chinese in both places exceeds the number of locals! Coupled with the advantages of their own civilization, the conquered alien races are relatively easy to assimilate by them! β
Wan Yanliang nodded, "Not bad!" What the queen said makes sense! Many of the problems of our Jin Army now are caused by population, culture, and powerful tribes! Now the problem of rebellion in the east is like this! β
When it came to the rebellion in the east, Wan Yanliang couldn't help frowning, "The situation in the west is not optimistic, and the situation in the east is also very bad!" I think of an idiom of the Han people, overstretched! β
"Your Majesty, I have a way to alleviate and possibly even resolve the immediate crisis!" The queen said suddenly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wan Yan Liang was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently: "What is the queen's good way, say it quickly!" β
The queen said: "More than a hundred years ago, there was a tribe in the north, very strong, occupied a fairly wide territory, but suddenly one day, two powerful opponents rose, the tribe was defeated in successive battles These two powerful opponents were defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses, so the tribal leader at that time decided to give up the surrounding unimportant territory, so that the tribe hit the amount and withstood the attack of two strong opponents, and at the same time these two powerful opponents had a big war because of the problem of newly occupied territory, When these two opponents were defeated, the Horde crushed them in one fell swoop, not only recovering the territory they had previously abandoned, but more than doubling the territory! β
Wan Yanliang frowned and said, "You mean, you want me to give up those newly occupied territories?" β
The Empress nodded, "Your Majesty, at present, there is no Jin Jun nation in the Hua Thorn Zim region, the Caucasus region, and the Germanic region, and our Jin Jun clan has very different living habits from the people in these places, and we do not have any cultural advantages!" The cost of controlling these places is very large, it is better to change direct control to indirect control, and support local ethnic groups or tribes to establish a state, which can not only alleviate the situation we are currently encountering, but also set up a strong defensive ring for our golden army! β
Wan Yanliang hesitated, he felt that the queen was unreasonable, but he was unwilling to give up the territories he had acquired, which was why he launched the Eastern Crusade at this inopportune time.
From ancient times to the present, the ethnic groups in the Oriental Chinese cultural circle have a very interesting characteristic compared with other ethnic groups, that is, they are extremely greedy for land, and only the hairy bear nation can be compared to the future, which may be the reason for the national character.
After a while, Wan Yanliang said, "I still have to think about it!" β
The empress was not surprised by this, she understood the emperor's character traits very well.
The streets of Shangjing are bustling, but there is a touch of gloom more than before.
The front door of the Han people's shops can be crowded, and the interesting thing is that although the war between the two countries is in full swing, the Jin official has no intention of sweeping the Han shops, in fact, there are many Jin merchants in Chang'an, and the Wei Empire has no intention of doing anything to the Jin merchants.
Both sides know that cutting off trade will do more harm than good to both sides, so they will never do such things that harm others and themselves if it is not necessary.
A few drinkers chatted in the tavern while sipping their wines.
"Well, I've heard that the war in the south and east is not going well!" A drinker sighed.
The companion couldn't help but nodded, "Have you heard, the two legions of our Jin Army were wiped out in the south a few days ago!" β
"What?! You don't talk nonsense!! Another drinker scolded, his tone full of disbelief.
"What am I lying to you for? Many people now know about this! β
Several people were silent for a moment, and one sighed: "I don't know if the Wei army will kill outside the city again like last time!" β
Everyone else couldn't help but show a look of fear, on that day, Zhao Yun led the Great Wei Iron Cavalry to sweep thousands of miles, fighting to the death with the two elite legions of the Jin Kingdom in the wasteland outside Shangjin, and the spirit of the world made all the Jin people can't help but be frightened.
"Hey! We can't do that much! Anyway, even if the Wei army hits outside the city, it won't be able to enter the city! No matter how powerful the cavalry is, you can't rush up the city wall on horseback! β
The crowd was reasonable, and the gloom on their faces lightened a lot.
Since Cao Ren's victory, the main force of Zhao Yun's subordinates did not take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack against the enemy army of Yemacheng, and still stood still outside Yemacheng, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"General, why didn't you delay attacking Mustang City?" Cao Hong asked puzzled.
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "I'm waiting for the enemy army to be discouraged!" In additionγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" said Zhao Yun and handed a letter in his hand to Cao Hong.
Cao Hong took it, looked at it again, and was surprised, "General, this is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Zhao Yun said indifferently: "The general trend is the general trend, it's not surprising that they have such thoughts!" What's more, the 100,000 main forces of the Jin Kingdom were wiped out a few days ago! β
"Can we do it now?"
Zhao Yun understood what Cao Hong meant, shook his head and said, "Not yet!" Although this is true nine times out of ten, we can't afford not to guard against it! You must first conquer the high ground on the western side, and then discuss the matter with them! At that time, even if they cheat, our army will be able to retreat with the help of catapults on the high ground! Now is the time! General Cao Hong, immediately gather all the generals! β
"No!"
Here is an explanation, the highland in Zhao Yunkou's mouth is located on the west side of Wild Horse City, close to Wild Horse City, this high ground is more than 40 meters high, three sides are cliffs, only the south can enter, and the south slope is not a switch, more than 30 degrees, it is also very difficult to attack from here.
The cannon roared, and the stone bullets rained down on the high ground on the west side of Mustang City, and the roar was earth-shattering.
Flames were billowing and dust was billowing, and some of the enemy soldiers hiding in the fortress of Gosdi were holding their heads, some cursing, some praying.
The assault force of more than 10,000 people of the Wei army carried a simple siege equipment ladder, and quickly approached the Jin army city wall, only using the ladder was also unavoidable, and the attack channel in front of him was a slope with a slope of more than 30 degrees, and other heavy equipment could not be pushed up at all.
