Chapter 913: Take the initiative
"The meaning of the left servant shot is to hit, and the meaning of me is also to fight.? Come on,.! However, how to fight depends on the opinions of the staff headquarters and the generals of the 24th Wei General's Mansion. However, all the marshals and generals are sitting in various places, and I would like to hear the opinions of the ministers in the palace on how to fight this. Chen Kefu looked at the ministers and said, he suddenly found that among the ministers of the palace, there was not even a general who could preside over military affairs.
The ten marshals and generals of the DPRK and China basically guarded either the northern line of Hedong, Hebei, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, or the line of Shannan and Jiangdong. Although there are a few generals with the rank of general, they are all the Praetorian Guard generals of the Inner Eight Guards, and it is obviously not enough to let them preside over military affairs.
The rank of General of the Internal Guard Long Xiangwei, the rank of General of the Auxiliary State, the Duke of Shang County, the Squire of the Military Department, the Shangshu of the Military Department, and Mao Yi, who temporarily led the affairs of the Military Department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, instead of slowly consuming it like this, it is better to take the initiative to attack." The Turks had always thought that we would hold the pass, and if we suddenly took the initiative to attack, the Turks would definitely be caught off guard. Tong Yehu now gathered 300,000 soldiers and horses in Dali City, so he thought that our army would not dare to attack out of the fortress. Now the 100,000 soldiers and horses he sent to sweep Tiele are still on the border of Xi and Xi. Just after receiving the tribute from Yu Wenhua, he sent 10,000 soldiers and horses into Longshang. It is absolutely feasible to attack the Great Turkic Army at the moment. ”
The collapse of the Turkic alliance with the seven countries of the Central Plains was a very happy event. But in a short period of time, Xu, Sui, and Wu actually hooked up with the Turks again, and this time, the four countries formed an alliance again, although the four countries were missing. It's not as loud as last time. But this result still worries Chen Pojun and the civil and military forces of the Chen Dynasty.
Especially as soon as the alliance was formed, the Turks sent 10,000 cavalry into Longshang to help Xu's army prepare to attack Xiaoguan.
It's a temptation.
Chen Kefu thought about it repeatedly. The heart was determined, and the Turkic cavalry entered Longshang, which was a tentative move by Tong Yehu. Judging from various analyses, it seems that Tong Ye Hu has begun to readjust his tactics to the south after the defeat of the White Road.
And at present, borrowing the culture of Bingyu is already a fairly obvious signal. Facing the strong city cannons of Yanmen, Tong Yehu seemed to be a little worried and afraid, and did not dare to attack. He borrowed troops to allow the army, obviously with the idea of finding another way.
Avoid the fortresses of the Chen army in Yanmen, Jundu Pass, Fuyu Pass, and Linyu. and instead prepared to enter Guanlong.
Help the Xu army defeat the Chen army in Longlong and recapture Xiao Pass. In this way, the Turks could not only free up their three Central Plains allies to attack the Chen army together, but also the Turks could follow the path of the Chen army into Longshang to bypass the northern wall. Thus detouring behind the Chen army in Hedong, you can not only take Taiyuan, the back town of Yanmen, but also go east to Luoyang, the capital division of the Chen Dynasty.
This is a strange move, it doesn't need too many soldiers and horses, just a partial division.
This plan seems crazy though. But Chen Kefu can confirm that this inference is actually about 40% successful. Although Chen's army captured Xiao Pass and entered Longshang, it broke the previous Turkic covenant. But Chen's army has reached its limit. All the soldiers and horses who can enter Longshang are now only 50,000 people. 50,000 people, that's not a lot.
The Turks now sent 10,000 men into Long. Once they were sure that the plan was feasible, the Turks could send more people into Long at any time. Fifty thousand. 100,000, it's not impossible.
The alliance between the Turks and the Central Plains countries was destroyed before, and now it is not easy to destroy it again.
It's just that he has to go out of the fortress and take the initiative to attack the Turkic base camp with 300,000 troops?
No, Chen Kefu has already denied this plan in his heart. Now the biggest capital of the confrontation between the Chen army and the Turks is the strong Yanmen defense line, once it takes the initiative to get out of the block, the advantage of the Chen army will be lost. The most important problem is that Yanmen is far away from Dali City, where the Turkic camp is located, and it is difficult to make a secret raid at such a long distance.
And if the battle is lost, Chen's Yanmen defense line may be captured by the Turks.
"No, the first-line defenders of Yanmen can't get out." Chen Kefu shook his head and rejected Mao Yi's proposal.
"Fight, this time we must fight, but we must not act recklessly. Our biggest advantage is the Yanmen defensive line, and we can't risk it. If you don't win, you will lose first. We have to consider the worst outcome first, and we can't afford to gamble on Yanmen. ”
General Xiao Cavalry Guard, with the rank of General of the Auxiliary State, Chen Qing, the Duke of Fuyu County, said suspiciously: "Your Majesty's intention is not to let Marshal Wang Rengong fight alone?" Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible. Although Marshal Wang achieved a brilliant victory in the last surprise attack on the Turks, the matter can not be repeated, and it is not advisable to raid the Turkic camp again. Moreover, after the last war, although Marshal Wang's headquarters had recuperated and recovered, the number of Marshal Wang and Marshal Xue Dingguo's two armies was less than 60,000, and the Turks had 300,000 in Dali alone, not to mention, there were still 100,000 in the steppe, and they could quickly return to the Turks at any time. ”
Chen Kefu laughed twice: "What the prince of Fuyu just said is right, the Turks have 300,000 in Dali, and Wang Rengong and Xue Dingguo's two armies together are only 60,000, and the enemy is outnumbered. However, I didn't say that the two marshals Wang Xue would fight against Ye Hu. ”
Chen Lei, the general of Yulin, who has been serving Chen Pojun for many years, was moved in his heart and blurted out: "Your Majesty's intention is to fight the 100,000-strong Turkic Tiele Nine Tribal Army on the grassland?" ”
"That's right." Chen Kefu nodded with a smile.
Shangzhu Guo, the general of the town army, the prince of Lanling County, the prince and the prince Fu Huangfu Wuyi couldn't help but light up, and praised loudly: "Good! This Turkic army has just swept the Tiele steppe, and is now moving to the border between the Xi and Xi countries, and according to the intelligence, they have no intention of attacking the two countries, but only seem to be preparing to deter the two countries and prevent our army from the Khitan steppe in the east from circling the Turkic back. They were far away from the army that protected the city of Dali, and there were no strong enemies around, so they would definitely be negligent in their defenses. If we raid them, there is a good chance of success. Although the two marshals of Wang Xue only had 60,000 soldiers and horses, they were definitely able to defeat the 100,000 Turkic army. ”
The right servant shot Du Ruhui was also a little excited at this time: "No, no, no, our army is not more than 60,000. Have you forgotten that the newly allied forces in Liaoyang that Zuo Servant Shot said just now already have 100,000? ”
"That's right!" Chen Kefu smiled and nodded. Du Ruhui's mind was very clear, and he did not forget the strength of the few allies who had just formed an alliance. Among the nine phases, there is the right servant of Du Ruhui, one of the two chief officials of Lieshangshu Province, who is duan. Originally, the official system of the Chen Dynasty was mostly born out of the Sui system, in which the two main officials of Shangshu Province in the early Sui Dynasty were the prime ministers, the left servant was the prime minister, and the right servant was the deputy minister. The left and right servants shoot the Shangshu Zhucao, and the left servants have the power to correct the bullets and hundreds of officials, and the power is greater than that of the right servants. Later, Yang Guang ascended the throne and made many taboos against Prime Minister Yang Su, constantly weakening the right of the left servant to shoot.
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the abolition of the record was often lacking. So Shang Shu Zuo shot became the prime minister of the imperial court. Gao Gong shot for the left servant for 19 years, and Yang Su shot for the right servant, and was in charge of the government with Gao Gong. After Yang Su was shot as the left servant, Emperor Wen of Sui, with his weight, was suspicious of him, and ordered him to comment on major events on the first day of the third and fifth days to Shangshu Province, showing sympathy and respect for him, but in fact cutting his power. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su entered the Shangshu Order, and he didn't ask anything about it; After Yang Su's death, Shang Shu ordered the throne.
After the restoration of the Chen Dynasty, the imperial court set up nine ministers, all of whom participated in political affairs. Among the three provinces and six ministries, the second chief official of Shangshu Province, who presided over the administrative affairs of the imperial court, became the recognized prime minister and vice minister. Although publicly, the status of the nine phases is the same, and they take turns to take charge of political affairs, but due to the important position of Shangshu Province, the power of the left servant is still much higher than that of the other eight phases.
Although Fang Xuanling is steady and loyal, Chen Kefu, who has always attached more importance to the system, still secretly restricts the power of the servant. Chen Kefu ordered the details of Shangshu Province to be handled by the left and right ministers on the grounds that the servants should be asked to visit the talents, and only reported to the servants if there was a big grievance, so that it was equivalent to dividing a large part of the rights of the two servants at the same time to transfer them to the left and right of Shangshu Province.
Correspondingly, some rights of the right servant shoot were also added, so that Shangshu Province was basically a four-headed deacon, and although the left and right servants were up and down, the ministry rights were clearly divided. According to the example, the six chief officials of the three provinces of Shangshu Province, Menxia Province, and Zhongshu Province are all added to the rank of governor of the country, and the other three ministers are all possible officials above the third rank in the DPRK and China.
As a result, the power of Shangshu Province is heavier, but on the contrary, the rights of the two chief officials of Shangshu Province have decreased a lot. Du Ruhui shot for the right servant, but he also felt these sensitively, and in the face of these subtle changes, he could only do things more happily. Recently, there have been rumors in the court that the emperor intends to transfer the empress's elder brother, the eldest grandson Wuji, back to the court, and his position is Shangshu Province.
The eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of the country, and he has always been trusted by the emperor, and he was once one of the nine phases. If he returns to the court, he will inevitably enter the phase. It is impossible for Shangshu Province to produce three Xiangguo at once, and it is very likely that he will give way to the eldest grandson. Although he also felt that he was not the kind of person who was shackled by external interests, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. But now listening to the emperor's meaning, it is obvious that he is preparing to take the initiative and fight a big war with the Turks.
With the two marshals Wang Rengong and Xue Dingguo leading the troops, 60,000 Chen troops and 100,000 Liao Allied troops, there are many chances of winning this battle. And in this way, the long-term calm on the Hedong front will also be broken, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the governor of Hedong, is unlikely to be transferred to the court. When I think of this, although I always remind myself that the emperor's will, whether it is thunder or rain and dew, is Jun's grace. But if he can keep his position as vice minister, who wants to give way.
When he was a little distracted, Chen Kefu on the dragon chair had already quickly come up with an attack plan with his ministers. At this time, the emperor had already issued an edict, the Hanlin scholar of Zhongshu Province had already drafted the edict on the spot, and the Menxia Province was already discussing the officials sent to the two marshals of Wang Xue to deliver the edict......)
