Chapter 1134: Long-term interests
Thank you Lingchen 168 for a monthly pass!
"Your Majesty, do you really plan to attack immediately?" Hu Zhao said with some doubts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cao Cao said: "I understand Kong Ming's worries! However, I don't think that the Nanban can threaten us, and as for the problem of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, the most they can do is stand still! ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to transfer one or two thousand elites to Weak Water Island!" Hu Zhao proposed.
Cao Cao thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No! One is not necessary! The second is that although the elite combat power is strong, they are all northern tribes, which are not suitable for fighting in the climate and terrain of the southern barbarians, and wait until the elite is dispatched and then launch an attack, I am afraid that the time will pass a few months, which may cause unnecessary conjecture in the eastern women's country! ”
"Your Majesty's words are extremely true! But once the attack is frustrated, the good situation that has been laid down at the moment may be in vain," Hu Zhao said worriedly.
Cao Cao hesitated, glanced at the others, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Chen Gong, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai glanced at each other, and Xun You arched his hand and said, "Weichen thinks what Kong Ming said is extremely true!" Your Majesty, please think again! Even if you don't send elites to it, you should increase the number of troops invested! ”
Xi Zhicai also agreed.
Cao Cao's gaze fell on Chen Gong, "Gongtai, what do you think?" ”
Chen Gong pondered for a moment and said, "What the three of them said is indeed true!" However, His Majesty's concerns are not unreasonable! Yu thought that the war should be divided into two phases, the goal of the first stage was to suppress the forces of the Zhushiwei and headhunters to a certain extent, and at the same time establish a strong fortress in the coastal area to lay a good foundation for the next stage of the battle! ”
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm! It really shouldn't be too impatient! ”
Glancing at everyone, he asked, "What do you think of the public station's strategy?" ”
The three of them thought for a moment and agreed one after another.
"Since this is the case, then the original plan will be adjusted and the battle plan for pacifying Shiwei will be divided into two stages. The goal of the first phase is to establish a strong standoff position along the coast of Nanban, and at the same time use diplomacy to divide Shiwei and their allies! Get the rest of the 10th Legion ready for battle, and pick the best soldiers in the 5th Legion for call! Guys, what else do you have to add? ”
The four of them glanced at each other and arched their hands together: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”
"That's good! Do as you are ordered! ”
"Yes!"
Two days later, Cao Cao couldn't laugh or cry when he looked at the newspaper in his hand.
"Gongtai, why is there only so many soldiers in the Fifth Legion who meet the requirements?" Cao Cao shook the report in his hand.
Chen Gong explained: "The soldiers of the Fifth Legion are basically northerners, and even if they know water, they just won't be drowned!" ”
It should be explained here that the vast majority of the Han people in this era were in Jiangbei, so the main force of the Wei army was basically northerners.
Cao Cao smiled, glanced at the fold in his hand, and muttered, "Three thousand!" Less is a little less, but it's a hundred battles, and it should play a big role when used properly! ”
Chen Gong arched his hand and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! These 3,000 people are definitely a sharp knife! ”
Cao Cao nodded, "Transfer these three thousand people to Yangzhou to prepare for war!" ”
"Yes!"
"By the way, how is the situation of the local garrisons in Liaozhou and Fusangzhou?"
Chen Gong replied: "All have been established, and the recruitment of the two local garrison armies is about 120,000 people, and the source of soldiers is basically moved to the local Han people!" ”
"Excellent! It looks like it won't be long before I have two more new forces at my disposal! Cao Cao said happily.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Zilong sent a message saying that the envoy of the Romans has arrived in the Green Mountains!" Chen Gongyu reports.
"Messenger of the Romans?" Cao Cao looked a little surprised.
Chen Gong smiled: "Actually, this is not strange! The Romans don't want us to completely defeat the Jin State, but they don't dare to tear our faces with the Great Wei Empire! Your Majesty, the power of our Great Wei Empire has already covered the United States! Even empires like Jin and Rome did not dare to speak loudly in front of us, and small countries were even more trembling! ”
Cao Cao nodded, very excited, and said with emotion: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time!" But that's not enough! Not enough! ”
Chen Gong couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Cao Cao with a look of looking up in his eyes.
Cao Cao strolled alone by the lake in the Imperial Garden, thinking about the future path of the empire, and the two noble concubines Diao Chan and Mi Huan succeeded Cui Yingying and followed closely behind Cao Cao.
There are three roads in front of Cao Cao and the Great Wei Empire, one is to continue to expand mainly by force, and the current amount of the Great Wei Empire can sweep through the universe in a short period of time, after all, the fighting style of the Mongols in the future, the Wei State is not impossible to learn, and the Great Wei, which controls the steppe and the Western Regions, not only does not have to have less Mongolia in later generations, but more!
However, the next thing the Great Wei Empire will face is a chaotic situation of erosion and the rising tide of opposition to the Great Wei Empire, and the second is to expand the sphere of influence of the Great Wei Empire by combining force and diplomacy to seek benefits for the Great Wei Empire, which seems to be the best, but it is somewhat contrary to Cao Cao's thirst for land.
Third, the policy of foreign expansion was changed to a policy of recuperation and recuperation, which was a policy often used by successive dynasties, and the drawbacks of this policy were obvious, and the most unfavorable thing was that it would gradually wear off the enterprising spirit of the military and the people.
Cao Cao first abandoned the last path, and no matter how stupid Cao Cao was, it was impossible for him to take this old path without enterprising spirit.
Cao Cao vacillated between the first and second paths.
In fact, the current policy of the Great Wei Empire is more inclined to the second way, such as helping to restore the country in peace, establishing Western Guishan, and so on! These policies enabled the Great Wei Empire to firmly control the surrounding countries, but because of these policies, the Great Wei Empire has not obtained an inch of land in its conquests in recent years, except for the weak water island!
Cao Cao spat on the edge of a Taihu Lake stone, sighed, picked up a stone and threw it vigorously into the lake, and the stone jumped on the water surface a few times and fell into the lake with a thud.
"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind?" Diao Chan couldn't help but ask, and Mihuan on the side looked at Cao Cao with some concern.
Cao Cao turned around and gently hugged the plump two daughters. smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't make up my mind about the future policy of the empire!" ”
Hearing Cao Cao say this, the two girls couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Mihuan smiled: "Your Majesty, do you know what the most important thing is in business?" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "Isn't it integrity?" ”
Mi Huan nodded seriously, "Of course it's integrity!" But there's one more thing that's just as important as integrity! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help but be curious, "Oh? What is it? ”
"Long-term benefits!" Mihuan's beautiful and mature eyes shone with the light of wisdom. (To be continued.) )
