Chapter 913 Take the initiative to attack

"Zuo Pushe means to fight, and I mean to fight. However, how to fight depends on the opinions of the generals from the staff headquarters and the twenty-four guard general's office. However, all the marshals and generals are all in charge. I also want to hear the opinions of the ministers in the hall." Chen Kefu looked at the ministers and said, and he suddenly found that among the ministers in the hall, there was no one who could in charge of military affairs.

The ten marshals and generals in the court were basically guarding the north Hedong, Hebei, Liaodong, and Liaodong, Shannan and Jiangdong. Although there were several generals with the rank of generals, they were all guards of the eight inner guards, so it was obviously not enough to let them take charge of military affairs.

Mao Yi, the general of the inner guard Longxiang Guard, the rank of the auxiliary state general, the Duke of Shangjun, the Minister of War, the Minister of War, and the Minister of War, and the temporarily led the affairs of the Ministry of War, said: "Your Majesty, it is better to take the initiative to attack instead of slowly consuming like this. The Turks always thought that we would defend the pass. If we suddenly attacked, the Turks would definitely be caught off guard. Tong Yehu now gathered 300,000 troops in Dali City, so he thought our army would not dare to attack. Now he had sent 100,000 troops to sweep Tiele to sweep Tiele before and was still on the border of Xi, the tsunami. After just getting the tribute from Yu Wenji, he sent another 10,000 troops into Longshang. At present, it is absolutely feasible to attack the Italian Turkic army."

The alliance between the Turks and the seven Central Plains Kingdoms died, which was a great pleasure. But in a short time, Xu, Sui and Wu actually hooked up with the Turks again. This time, the four countries formed an alliance again. Although the four countries were missing, the momentum was not as great as last time. However, this result still made Chen Pojun and the civil and military officials of the Chen Dynasty very worried.

Especially as soon as the alliance formed, the Turks sent 10,000 cavalry into Longshang to help Xu's army prepare to attack Xiaoguan.

This is a temptation.

After repeated thinking, Chen Kefu concluded that the Turkic cavalry entered Longshang as a test step by Tong Ye Hu. Judging from various analyses, Tong Ye Hu seemed to have begun to readjust the tactics of moving south after being defeated by Bai Dao.

Nowadays, borrowing the military culture and culture is already a very obvious signal. When Tong Ye Hu faced the powerful city and cannon in Yanmen, he seemed to be a little worried and afraid and dared not attack. He borrowed the military, obviously with the idea of ​​finding a different approach.

Avoid the fortresses of Chen's army in Yanmen, Jundu Pass, Fuyu Pass, and Linyu. Instead, they were preparing to enter Guanlong.

Helping the Xu army defeat the Chen army entering Long and regain Xiaoguan. In this way, the Turks could not only free up their three Central Plains allies to attack the Chen army together, but also follow the Chen army's road to Long and bypass the strong walls in the north. Thus, they could detour behind the Chen army in Hedong, and take the important town of Taiyuan, the back of Yanmen, or go east to Luoyang, the capital of Chen Dynasty.

This is a strange move, without too many soldiers and horses, just one side of the army.

Although this plan seems crazy, Chen Kefu can confirm that this inference is actually about 40% of the successful plan. Although the Chen army seized Xiaoguan and entered Longshang, destroying the previous Turkic covenant. However, the Chen army's military strength has reached its limit. All the soldiers and horses that can enter Longshang are now only 50,000. 50,000, which is not a large number.

The Turks now sent 10,000 people to Long. Once they determined that the plan was feasible, the Turks could send more people to Long at any time. 50,000 or 100,000 were not impossible.

It was previously destroyed by the alliance between the Turks and the Central Plains countries, but now it is not easy to destroy it again.

However, in this way, we have to go out of the frontier and take the initiative to attack the Turkic base camp with 300,000 troops?

No, Chen Kefu had already denied this plan in his heart. The biggest capital of the Chen army confronted the Turks now is the solid Yanmen defense line. Once he took the initiative to go out of the frontier, most of the Chen army's advantages would be lost. The main problem is that Yanmen and Dali City, where the Turkic camp is located, are far apart. It is difficult to make a secret raid at such a long distance. The decisive battle on the grassland is the one that attacks the enemy with its own shortcomings.

Once the war fails, Chen's Yanmen defense line may be captured by the Turks.

"No, the defending troops on the Yanmen line cannot leave the gate." Chen Kefu shook his head and denied Mao Yi's proposal.

"We must fight this time, but we must not act recklessly. Our biggest advantage is the Yanmen defense line. We cannot take risks with this defense line. Before we can win, we must first consider the worst result. We cannot afford to bet on Yanmen."

General of the Cavalry Guard, rank of the Assistant General, Chen Qing, Duke of Fuyu County, wondered: "Your Majesty's intention is to let Marshal Wang Rengong fight alone? Your Majesty, I think it is not possible. Although Marshal Wang achieved a brilliant victory last surprise attack on the Turks, things must not be repeated. It is not advisable to raid the Turkic camp again. Moreover, after the last battle, although Marshal Wang's troops have been recuperated and restored, Marshal Wang and Marshal Xue Dingguo's army are less than 60,000. The Turkic light has 300,000 in Italy, not to mention that there are still 100,000 on the grassland, and you can quickly return to the Turks at any time."

Chen Kefu laughed twice: "What Duke Fuyu County said just now is right. The Turks have 300,000 in Italy, and Wang Rengong and Xue Dingguo's infantry and cavalry combined with only 60,000. The enemy is numerous and we are few. However, I did not say that the two marshals Wang and Xue will fight Ye Hu."

Chen Lei, the general of Yulin who had been with Chen Pojun for many years, felt aroused in his heart and blurted out: "Your Majesty's intention is to attack the 100,000 Turkic Tieler nine-subject tribe army on the grassland?"

"That's right." Chen Kefu nodded with a smile.

Shangzhu Kingdom, general of the army, Duke of Lanling County, and Huangfu Wuyi, the prince's tutor, could not help but lit up and praised: "Good! This Turkic army has just swept the Tiel Grassland, and is now moving the border between the Junguo and Xi Kingdom. According to information, they have no intention of attacking the two countries. They seem to be just preparing to shock the two countries and prevent our army from going around the back of the Turkic army from the Khitan grassland in the east. They are far away from the army that Tongyehu Dali City, and there are no strong enemies around, so they will definitely neglect defense. If we raid them, there is a high possibility of success. Although the two marshals Wang and Xue only have 60,000 troops, they can definitely defeat these 100,000 Turkic troops."

At this time, Du Ruhui, the Right Pushe Du said excitedly: "No, no, no, our army has more than 60,000. Have you forgotten that the new alliance of Liaoyang alliance mentioned by Zuo Pushe just now has 100,000?"

"That's right!" Chen Kefu nodded with a smile. Du Ruhui's mind was very clear and he did not forget the forces of the allies who had just formed an alliance. Among the nine prime ministers, Du Ruhui, who had Du Duan, was one of the two chief officials of the Shangshu Province. Originally, most of the Chen Dynasty's official system was derived from the Sui system. In the Sui system, the two chief officials of the Shangshu Province were prime ministers, the left Pushe was prime minister, and the right Pushe was deputy prime minister. The left Pushe was divided into the Shangshu Province, and the left Pushe also had the power to correct all officials, and the power was greater than that of the Right Pushe. Later, Yang Guang ascended the throne and violated taboos against Prime Minister Yang Su, constantly weakening the right of the Left Pushe.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, the abolition of the Lu Shangling was often shortened. Therefore, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe became the prime minister of the court. Gao Yang was the left Pushe for 19 years, and Yang Su was the right Pushe, and he was in charge of the government affairs with Gao Yang. Yang Su replaced Gao Yang as the left Pushe. Emperor Wen of Sui was suspicious of his power and ordered him to go to the Shangshu Province for three or five days to comment on major events. On the surface, he was sympathetic and respectful to him, but in fact he seized his power. During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Su was promoted to Shangshu Ling and did not care about the matter. After Yang Su's death, the Shangshu Ling was deprived of the position.

After the Chen Dynasty restored the country, the court established nine prime ministers, all of which were added to the title of political affairs. Among the three provinces and six ministries, the second chief officer of the Shangshu Province, who was in charge of the administrative affairs of the court, became recognized as prime minister and deputy prime minister. Although the nine prime ministers had the same status and took turns to take charge of political affairs and criticize the winners, due to the important position of the Shangshu Province, Zuo Pushe's rights were still far higher than the other eight prime ministers.

Although Fang Xuanling was steady and loyal, Chen Kefu, who had always attached great importance to the system, secretly restricted Pushe's power. Chen Kefu ordered the Shangshu to handle the matter carefully by the left and right ministers, and reported it to Pushe because of the injustice. In this way, it would be equivalent to splitting the rights of the two Pushes at the same time and handing over to the Shangshu's left and right ministers at the same time.

Correspondingly, some rights of the Right Pushe were added. In this way, the Shangshu Province was basically four deacons. Although the left and right Pushe and the left and right chief ministers were among the superiors and subordinates, the rights of the ministry were clearly divided. According to the rules, the Shangshu Province, the Menxia Province, and the Six Chief Officials of the Three Ministers and the Central Secretariat were all appointed as prime ministers, while the other three prime ministers were all possible. Not only the Six Ministers, but also the Nine Ministers and Wutai, but even the two ministers of the Shangshu Province were qualified to be prime ministers.

As a result, the power of the Shangshu Province was heavier, but on the contrary, the power of the two chief officials of the Shangshu Province was reduced a lot. Du Ruhui was the right servant, but he also felt these sensitively. Faced with these subtle changes, he had to do more. Recently, there were rumors in the court that the emperor intended to transfer the queen's brother Changsun Wuji back to the court, and his position was Shangshu Province.

Changsun Wuji was the uncle of the country and had always been trusted by the emperor. He was once one of the nine prime ministers. If he returned to the court, he would definitely become prime minister. The Secretariat could not have three prime ministers all at once, and it was very likely that he would give way to Changsun. Although he also felt that he was not the kind of person who was shackled for external benefits, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. But now, following the emperor's intentions, he was obviously preparing to take the initiative to attack and fight the Turks.

With the two marshals of Wang Rengong and Xue Dingguo, the army led by 60,000 Chen army and 100,000 Liaodong League troops, there are many chances of winning this battle. In this way, the long-term peace of the Hedong front will be broken. At this time, Changsun Wuji, the governor of Hedong, is unlikely to be transferred to the court. Thinking of this, although he always reminds himself that the emperor's will, whether it is thunder or rain, is the kindness of the king. But if he can maintain the position of deputy prime minister, who is willing to give way?

When he was a little distracted, Chen Kefu on the dragon throne had already quickly come up with an attack plan with his ministers. At this time, the emperor had already spoken the imperial edict, and the Hanlin scholars from the Secretariat had already drafted the imperial edict on the spot. Menxia Province had already discussed the officials who had sent the imperial edict to the two marshals Wang and Xue...)
