Chapter 31 The power of the whole country
Shi Le was not a person who was born step-by-step, conservative and striving for stability. There was an element of adventure in his character. He sought stability in everything and did not dare to take risks. It was also impossible for him to rise from a slave to become a king in troubled times.**
Throughout the history of Shi Le, it was as if a golden finger had been opened, and it was so smooth that it was unimaginable. First, in Luoyang, Wang Yan heard from Shi Le's clear roar that the man had great ambitions, and sent people to hunt him down, but Shi Le was unaware of it.
I got away by luck.
Next, during the rise of Shi Le, Golden Finger was invincible. According to Yunfeng's summary, there are the following aspects: First, Luoyang could not be conquered for a long time. King Yue of Donghai led his troops back to Donghai Kingdom, but he died of illness on the way.
Dragons
Without a leader, the main force of the Jin army and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians were all killed by light cavalry. Secondly, Gou Xi had just proclaimed himself King of Yuzhang, but he became inexplicably corrupt and was attacked and captured by Shi Le. Thirdly, Wang Miqing
Go to the banquet and don't listen
After being persuaded by the Prime Minister, he was killed by Shi Le during the banquet and successfully annexed the tribe. Fourth, he could not cross the Yellow River, and the whole army almost starved to death, but accidentally grabbed the boat. Fifth, he lost to the Tuoba clan and Duan clan of Xianbei at the beginning.
As a result, the two departments were in civil strife
, was picked peaches by Shi Le. Sixth, Wang Jun arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, which greatly lost the support of the people, and was easily captured and killed by Shi Le. Seventh, Jin Zhun destroyed the entire Liu family of the Xiongnu, clearing the obstacles for Shi Le to establish a country. And so on and so on.
There are many more.
Luck once or twice may be explained as chance, but the accumulation of countless times of luck, in the words of the ancients, is destiny. How can a normal person be lucky again and again? And Shi Le is a lucky person blessed by God.
Yes, even Shi Le himself thinks so.
With a lifetime of luck and a natural spirit of adventure, Shi Le, who was still hesitant at first, immediately made plans to finish his battle in one battle. In order to support this battle, Zhao had to devote all his country's efforts. Isn't this the case with Qin?
During the Warring States Period, the Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao ended with the annihilation of the Zhao army. People often blamed Zhao Kuo for his armchair tactics, but Shi Le did not think so. In his opinion, King Zhao transferred Lian Po back to Zhao Kuo for his military strength.
Zhao Kuo's national strength could no longer support hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, so he replaced the young and aggressive Zhao Kuo, hoping to defeat the Qin army as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gu was unable to make a comeback. The lack of national strength and Bai Qi's experience meant that Zhao's army eventually ran out of ammunition and food, and had to surrender after failing to break through.
Today's battle between Qin and Zhao is quite similar to the Battle of Changping hundreds of years ago. The battle is about the logistics and national strength of the two sides. Obviously, Zhao's national strength is stronger than Qin's, not to mention that Shi Le has a trump card.
He has more confidence to continue the stalemate. Don't forget, Shi Hu's army has civilians and camps, and they can be used to eat when there is a shortage of food.
The thought flashed away, and with a bang, Shi Le struck several cases hard, and said loudly: "According to what the great law enforcement officer said, if we retreat at this time, it will give Qin Guo and Liu Yao a chance to breathe, and I am afraid that I will be alone for the rest of my life."
To the east of Tongguan!"
Then, a cold light flashed in Shi Le's eyes, and he swept away all the officials and shouted: "Draw up the imperial edict and order the Xianbei Yuwen and Duan tribes to each send out 25,000 elite cavalry. They will arrive in Chang'an within three months and receive the general's orders from the hussar generals."
Zhi, Nianhou, Si, Ji, Qing, Xu, You, Bing, households in seven states of Henan
Three of the five men were selected to pick up 50,000 brave men and enlist them into the army. The rest each had to transport two stones of grain to Tongguan. In addition, tens of thousands of households were moved from Liaoxi, Beiping, and Yuyang to fill the fields in Luoyang. Finally, horses were confiscated from the people.
Anyone who dares to hide a horse without permission will be punished by being cut in half!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasped! This was going to drain away the national power of Zhao! Pei Xian couldn't help but cup his hand: "Since the founding of the country, your Majesty has implemented benevolent governance and education, and has won the love of the people of all ethnic groups. Everyone said.
Fortunately, I was born in Hebei and not Jiangdong, but how is it different from the Sima family when the king issued such a harsh order? Please think again, your Majesty!"
Zhang Bin took over and said: "Situ's words are serious, but it is just a temporary decree during the war. Once the Qin army is broken, the king will issue an edict to terminate it. Why compare the king with the Sima family? What's more, this battle is a life and death battle for our country, Zhao.
, if we win, the north can be unified immediately, and we will send troops to pacify Jiangdong within five years.
, peace can be expected in the world. If it fails, we, the Zhao Dynasty, will no longer have the strength to resist the Qin army's departure. The consequences will be disastrous. At such a critical moment, how can we not devote the entire country to preparing for war? Endure the temporary pain in exchange for long-term peace and stability in the future.
, whichever is more important, the people will make the right choice!"
Pei Xian still asked without giving up: "If the Tuobo clan takes advantage of the emptiness in our country to invade, how should we deal with it?"
Shi Le waved his hand: "Situ, don't worry too much. Gu sent the imperial army to Bingzhou and Youzhou to temporarily station. With the elite of the imperial army, they should be able to withstand the Tuobo clan's invasion. Hmm, when Gu is free, we can deal with these nasty gangs.
guy!"
"Hey!" Pei Xian sighed heavily and said nothing. He knew that Shi Le had already made up his mind, and if he continued to speak, he would have to get himself involved.
Shi Le was very satisfied with the outcome of this court meeting, and was about to announce his resignation when he saw Shang Ling Xu Guang salute him and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is foolproof. He will use the power of the whole country to join the hussar generals."
With bravery, we can defeat the Qin army just around the corner, but we, Zhao, still have a hidden worry, and that is Jiangdong!"
"Oh?" Shi Le was confused and asked: "What are the hidden dangers in the east of the Yangtze River? Wang Dun rebelled a while ago, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Jin Dynasty. It's okay not to seek trouble from him. Could it be that he dared to cross the river?"
"What's more, Su Jun and others are not on the same side as the Jin Dynasty, so how could they be driven by them to attack our country, Zhao? Is Shang Ling exaggerating?"
Xu Guang shook his head and said: "I don't dare. The King of Qin went to Jiangdong a while ago and has already won some soldiers and people back to his heart. According to the news I found out, Xi Jian, the minister of the Jin State, has hidden intentions of seeking refuge, and Wen Qiao, the governor of Jiangzhou, has given up his will."
Show a clear attitude towards the King of Qin
Lord, there is also the Haimen County Water Infantry Army, which is clearly controlled by the Langya Wang family, but is actually owned by the King of Qin. What I am worried about is that if the situation of the King of Qin is not good, the above people may take advantage of our empty space to send troops to harass our country, and the King will have to guard against it.
ah!"
"This..." Shi Le frowned and asked: "It is indeed very possible, so in your opinion, what should we do?
Xu Guang glanced at Zhang Bin meaningfully and said sternly: "The current strategy is to strike first and send troops to attack the Jin army so that they will not be able to attack the hinterland of Zhao!"
Zhang Bin had a bad premonition and said quickly: "We, Zhao, have no troops left, how can we attack Jin? Besides, fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. How could Shang Ling not know that?"
Xu Guang stroked his beard and smiled slightly and said: "At this time, and at that time, everything cannot be done as usual. Now there is Murong Xin's 50,000 troops stationed in Xiapi. The king can issue an edict and order him to attack Guangling in the spring. Guangling is the northern gate of Jiankang.
It is impossible for the Jin State to abandon it. As for Su Jun’s ancestral appointment,
I don’t know whether they will come to help, but I dare to say that Xi Jian and Haimen will lend a helping hand, and the king will go to Qingzhou and Han Yong will lead the navy to attack Haimen, making it difficult to look at the head and tail. This will prevent Jiangdong from making rash moves.
, if everything goes well, it is not impossible to even descend to Guangling and Haimen!"
Shi Le cried out in his heart! He was already wary of Murong Xuan, not to mention the last time Murong Xuan asked for orders to attack Xiapi, which made him even more suspicious. Xu Guang's plan was just a strategy to drive away wolves and devoured tigers. No matter whether he won or lost, it had nothing to do with Shi Le.
.
Shi Le said happily: "Okay, let's draw up the decree according to what Shang Ling said!"
Shi Le was so happy that he didn't notice that Zhang Bin's expression was a little unnatural, and there was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes when he looked at Xu Guang!
