Chapter 676 I Have Made up My Mind

King Ning's old department! For those present, this is a piercing word!

Shang Jianxiong was even more breathless with chest tightness. Why did the big cleansing take place back then? What I'm afraid of is this out-of-control situation! As a result, the cleaning was not thorough, and the out-of-control situation that he did not want to see the most appeared. He really hated it because he was infested with Xiaoju!

The resentment towards the three major sects is even more deeply rooted in his bones. If it weren't for the constraints of the three major sects, how could the cleansing not be thorough enough back then?

But then again, it was the power of the three major factions that was able to clean up successfully back then, otherwise they would have no way to do it, and they would not dare to do it in the face of a group of generals who hold military power. It's a pity that he can't read the good of the three major schools, but only remembers the bad side.

What made him even more sad was that when things had come to this point, he no longer dared to lift the military power of Shang Dynasty Zong, and dared not make that decree easily.

At this time, Tian Yu, the chief eunuch, quickly stepped inside and reported: "Your Majesty, the head of Zijin Cave, Gong Lince, has already left for the front line to find Meng Shanming."

The situation is such that the military power in the hands of the imperial court is out of control, and people from the three major factions must be invited to solve it here.

Tong Mo nodded and said, "I hope the head of the palace can solve this matter."

Shang Jianxiong said in a deep voice: "You can't pin all your hopes on the three major factions, you must make two-handed preparations. Pass a secret decree and order the troops assembled in the north to be ready. If the three major factions fail to solve the problem, they will immediately dispatch a group to help the capital! "

As the Grand Sima, Shang Yongzhong had no choice but to remind, "Your Majesty, once the troops in the north are mobilized and the defense line is relaxed, the South Korean army may enter at any time!"

Shang Jianxiong was furious, grabbed the paperweight on the case and threw it out, angrily scolded: "It's not a good thing you, an idiot, if you don't let Wu Gongling run away, how can you have future troubles?"

With a thud, the paperweight fell to the ground. Shang Yongzhong tried to hide but did not dare to dodge. He was hit on the shoulder, and his expression twitched in pain.

He didn't dare to say anything, but he was very aggrieved. He said that in peacetime, civil servants ruled, and in times of war, military officials ruled.

Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng looked at each other and could understand His Majesty's mood. Once the capital fell and the imperial army could not be mobilized to help, it would have an unimaginable impact on His Majesty's prestige.

What's more, the status of the capital is too important to be lost.

Once faced with the situation of having to evacuate the capital, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen to the countless concubines in the harem, once they fall into the hands of the rebel army , How can His Majesty be embarrassed?

You can't abandon the court officials and run away with those concubines, right? Throw away a large number of court officials and only bring concubines, that is, you want beauties and not Jiangshan. If His Majesty leaves, don't even think about coming back. Without the support of the officials below, the emperor and a few court officials can control the entire Yan Kingdom no?

Of course, for the top officials of the imperial court, who were among the three princes, it was time to evacuate. Their family members and the imperial court would find a way to get away with them anyway. As for the other officials, it was hard to say.

The problem now is that we can't openly let the officials of the capital to find a way to send their family members away first, otherwise the people are not blind, so how can the people not see the transfer of so many officials' family members? The consequences at that time will be unimaginable, and the capital will fall into complete chaos before the enemy troops come over.

This is the difficulty of being the head of a family when the family business is big. There are too many worries in all aspects.

The Song army sent troops to take Yanjing directly, and the panic brought to Yanting was unimaginable. The strategy of Luo Zhao, the governor of the Song army, can be said to have poked the weakness of Yan State in one fell swoop.

...

Following Meng Shanming's order to withdraw his troops, he gave up blocking the Song army, and the Song army was almost unimpeded in the country of Yan along the way.

There is also a little trouble, the left-behind people in the state capitals of Yan State are constantly harassing, digging roads, blocking roads, or breaking bridges. Delay is simply unacceptable.

The army moved forward to take a break, and an empty post station became a temporary tent for the Chinese army.

Ever since Wanshoumen came up with the communication of Golden Wings for sale, the role of Zhuguo Station has been weakened.

Smoke was ignited in the inn. In the inn lobby, facing the hanging map, Luo Zhao felt a little heavy. Meng Shanming's actions caught him by surprise.

Su Yuanbai, Dong Yinglai, and Chang Fei all turned their heads to look at Wen You who walked in quickly outside the door.

Wen You nodded slightly to several people, and walked up to Luo Zhao to report: "The spies reported that Meng Shanming was indeed evacuating the troops of the Yan Kingdom. Meng Shanming gathered three million people and organized the army into one We retreated by five routes, and all retreated in the direction of the Dongyu River."

Dongyu River is the big river that Yan State and Song State planned to govern. Hearing this news, Su Yuanbai, Dong Yinglai and Chang Fei who were drinking tea couldn't sit still, and they all put down their tea cups and stood up .

Wen You continued: "According to reports from the spies along the Dongyu River, the Yan army is cutting down trees and fabricating wooden rafts, obviously preparing for the army to cross the river. It seems that Meng Shanming wants to give up rushing to help Yan." Beijing, turn to attack my Great Song."

Su Yuanbai said: "Could it be that Meng Shanming can really sit back and watch Yanjing fall?"

"Hey!" Luo Zhaohu stared at the map and sighed, "I underestimated Meng Shanming's influence in the Yan Kingdom, I didn't expect him to be able to restrain the people of the Yan Kingdom so quickly, as soon as he started The advance and retreat of the Yan army are in the hands of the hands, like the fingers! The Yan country is in such a mess, the army's morale is scattered, and he was put together so quickly, this old guy is really not easy."

Dong Yinglai: "Didn't the Great Governor say that the Yan State court would order him to rush to help and intercept our army, and would make him exhausted?"

Luo Zhao: "This is for sure! The internal situation of the imperial courts of various countries is similar, it just depends on which monarch controls the balance well, and there is no shortage of selfish villains in any court. When things happen, they must think first. Self-protection, how can those people care about the life and death of the soldiers below? In their view, if they can't even protect them, what is the meaning of life and death for the soldiers below? It is inevitable to urge Meng Shanming to pursue and intercept our army. It's just... "

He paused, staring at the map and shaking his head: "According to the previous prediction, Meng Shanming will have to obey the court's orders, and will also have to be exhausted, and then be consumed by our army. I really didn't expect Meng Shanming to control it so quickly. With the military power, look at his current actions... He is definitely taking military power to fight against Yan Ting's will. He knows that life and death are at stake, and it is unlikely that he will obey the court's orders. It is estimated that he will not accept the orders of the emperor outside. I I am afraid that the attempt to exhaust him and consume him to death is about to be shattered, he does not take this at all, this old guy is indeed sophisticated on the battlefield!"

Chang Fei said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't it be troublesome if he invaded our country of Song? Should our army retreat and attack instead?"

Wen You shook his head and said: "It's not right! Withdrawing now, I just fell into Meng Shanming's treacherous tricks, which happened to let Meng Shanming solve the crisis in Yanjing, but let Meng Shanming prove that he was right to oppose the imperial court's will. This must be Meng Shanming's plot."

Luo Zhao nodded slightly, this was exactly where he was in a dilemma, he did not expect that Meng Shanming could quickly control the troops of Yan Kingdom in such a chaotic situation in Yan Kingdom, and the other party only withdrew the fighting army, and he fell into a dilemma.

After all, the reason for the miscalculation, in the final analysis, is that Meng Shanming can pinch the people of Yan Kingdom so quickly.

A person who has been separated from the military power of Dayan for a long time, and he is still a disabled old man. He is facing the princes of all parties who support their soldiers and self-respect, and he is facing the incompatible imperial army. Mastered the dominance of the Yan army.

Others can't understand, as a person who has been in the military for a long time, he can understand what this means best, it is really amazing!

This is something that Luo Zhao never imagined in his dreams before, even if it is a fait accompli, he still finds it hard to imagine.

Chang Fei stared at Wen You: "Could it be possible to let Meng Shanming invade my Song Dynasty?"

Luo Zhao sneered, "I am so easy to attack in the Great Song Dynasty. How can my army not defend the rear when attacking? There are two million heavy soldiers deployed along the Dongyu River. They are defending according to danger. The river is difficult to cross. Facing resistance , Three million people want to break through my defense line easily?"

Su Yuanbai asked suspiciously: "Since we are so sure, why does the governor still hesitate to face the map?"

Luo Zhao waved his hand, "It's not hesitation, but calculating how long the food and grass in Meng Shanming's hands can last. This determines whether our army will continue to implement the original plan, or retreat to attack."

Su Yuanbai sighed, "Then, does the governor have a plan?"

Luo Zhao's eyes fell back to the map, and he stared at the defense troops deployed along the Song Kingdom's Eastern Territory River again, pondering over and over again, repeatedly demonstrating offensive and defensive in his mind.

He was silent and stood there motionless for nearly half an hour.

Several people knew that he was going to make an important decision and was thinking carefully, so they didn't dare to disturb him or disturb his thoughts easily, and they all waited quietly at the side.

After a while, Luo Zhaochang let out a breath, his eyes became firm and he said: "Meng Shanming's food and grass lasted for less than ten days, and the heavy troops I guarded along the river are not paper. I have repeatedly deduced, even if he is blind No matter how powerful Shan Ming is, I don't believe that our army's defense line can't hold out for ten days. I'm afraid Meng Shanming's move is still trying to lure my troops to retreat to rescue Yanjing."

Looking back at everyone, "National wars are about national power, food and grass are the vital points of Yan's army! Meng Shanming can't attack for a long time, and the food and grass are exhausted. He must be defeated without a fight. Why do we have to retreat? Now I will retreat instead. If I fall into his trick, once he succeeds, it will be tantamount to letting him prove his strategy to Yanjing, which will allow him to gain greater autonomy and make it easier for him to control the imperial court. It is not good for our army to fight back against such a force. Now we should continue to march towards Yanjing and continue to put pressure on Yanjing. The country of Yan is no longer a concern, and our important strategy is still to force South Korea to send troops!"

Snapped! He raised his hand and patted the map on the wall, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, don't let Meng Shanming hold our noses, the army will continue to move forward, and the plan to take Yanjing directly remains unchanged!"
