Crossing straight to the blue sky

"Yes, General, let's fight! I heard that the rebels are all composed of refugees and bandits from the North. They are a group of ragtag people who have never seen the world, so they just show off their power in the North and scare others.

There’s no need to worry about the army in the North. They can’t even defeat the bandits and refugees, so why should they fight our army?It is useless to have an army of millions at the border. We will kill as many as we can. "

According to the intelligence analysis obtained by the spies, it is easy to capture the Northland.

"Now that the rebels are holding back the Jiang and Han armies, we will take the opportunity to attack them. If it is too late, it will be very detrimental to us if they form an alliance in secret!"

Whichever is easier, two or five, a three-year-old child can calculate.

The generals persuaded Yuan Shaoxing to send troops. It was a rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will definitely be more difficult to attack the Northland again.

Yuan Shaoxing remained silent, unable to make a decision for a while.

The generals' analysis was correct. Since going north, the army has never been defeated, and even the refugees and bandits cannot defeat Beidi. It's sad that the generals don't look down on it.

He also looked down upon the cowards of Northland. After all, he was the overlord of Northland. How could a state be taken over by refugee bandits?

Yuan Shaoxing's climb to his current position was not only due to his excellent general and keenness in war, but also his caution.

There must be something he didn't know about. How could a group of rebels conquer a state?

The Northland army is incompetent, but it was once a famous army. After the famous general who followed the founding emperor to conquer the country, is it incompetent that it can't compare to a group of refugee bandits?
Before the incident, I don’t know who I heard saying that the most capable soldiers in the North are the Jiang Jiajun, and there are no Jiang Jiajun in the army stationed at the border. Is there any fraud?

The military advisor next to him saw Yuan Shaoxing's strange look. The two of them had supported him all the way until now, so they naturally knew him better than the others.

"General, is there something fishy about this matter?"

All the generals heard what the military advisor said and looked at the general, waiting for him to answer their questions.

What's fishy?Why didn't they notice?
Yuan Shaoxing nodded and said slowly: "I have some doubts, brothers. Please listen and help me refer to them. First, we have collected too little information about the true strength of the Northland army. We can't tell from these pieces of paper. Out of the depths of the Northland.

As long as the Dayong Dynasty has been alive, and as long as the Beidi family has been around, for hundreds of years, the court has always wanted to intervene in the government affairs of the North, but has never succeeded.

During those hundreds of years, there were many wise and mighty saints, and one of them was particularly outstanding in war. The generals in power at that time all took turns to serve as his foils, and their troops were unprecedentedly strong, sweeping across the northwest and southwest.

The northwest was once the territory of the barbarians, the southwest was the territory of the southern barbarians, and later it was the territory of the Dayong Dynasty.The barbarians huddled in the desolate land in the far west. The southern barbarians escaped into the deep mountains and old forests, settled in their villages to make a living, and were rarely seen.

Had it not been for the civil and military obstruction of the Manchu Dynasty, the holy king would have planned to attack the neighboring dynasty.

But this holy king also hit a wall in the North.

Do you think our army is stronger than the imperial army at that time? "

Most of the generals were from grass-roots backgrounds and could barely read a few of them. If they hadn't heard the general mention it today, they would have never known that the Dayong Dynasty had produced such a powerful emperor.

He is so ambitious that he wants to conquer the dynasty next door.

Everyone knew that their military strength was definitely not comparable to that of the holy king.However, the Northland of today is not the Northland of that period. Without taking a closer look, who knows who is strong and who is weak.

The generals did not speak casually and waited for the general to continue. "Let’s not talk about whether the rebels are a rabble. Even if they are a rabble, if they can seize a state from the Beidi family, they are definitely not weak. From the intelligence point of view, at least Beidi can't do anything to this Shangguan Qingyun. In this regard, , this person should not be underestimated.

As we all know, the most powerful warriors in the North were the Jiang family troops. The Jiang family had generals for generations. At least half of the famous generals in the Dayong Dynasty came from the Jiang family.To suppress a rebel army, Beidi dispatched the Jiang family army to suppress it.

On the border between the Central Plains and the North, the army blocking us does not have the Jiang family army. Doesn't that explain the problem?Do you still think that Shangguan Qingyun is very simple? "

When Yuan Shaoxing said this, all the generals understood it, but they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

In the eyes of the Beidi family, their general is not as good as that bandit Shangguan Qingyun, is he blind?

Yuan Shaoxing glanced at everyone and continued: "If the rebels are exaggerating, just send people to investigate again. The discrepancy is probably not big. The strength of the Beidi family is by no means as simple as the intelligence.

On the other side of the border, there are only Luo and Yun armies on the surface. Who knows if there is a Jiang family army secretly?
The intelligence only revealed that the Jiang family army sent troops to suppress the rebels. How many troops were sent?Ten thousand?Twenty thousand?Or fifty thousand?Which general did the Chiang family send?None of this information was found.

This is a doubt.

There is another possibility. The above information was deliberately exposed by Beidi for us to see. What about the information that was not shown to us?Who knows how much they hide?
If this is a trap set by the Northland for us, we will lose our troops in the first battle, let alone occupy the Northland. "

Yuan Shaoxing stayed here because of the above concerns.Only by understanding what is going on in the North can we fight a confident battle.

The generals looked unhappy and broke into cold sweats. If the general hadn't mentioned something, they wouldn't have thought of the serious consequences.

Yes, the reason why they were able to dominate the Central Plains was due to luck and bad luck.

The princes in various places were engaged in internal strife and wasted each other's troops. They kept silently.

The insurrectionary armies and rebels in various places were insignificant. They had a few soldiers and horses in hand. They thought they were the sons of heaven. They fought one or two small battles and won. They became arrogant. They were the boss of the gods and they did not take other people seriously. Here, everyone else except you is bullshit.

They still keep it secret.

When the princes from all over the country were both defeated and the rebels were crippled, they suddenly emerged and killed them without leaving a single piece of armor behind, leaving a brutal reputation in the Central Plains.

Just because they dominate the Central Plains doesn't mean they can dominate the Northland too!

"Then how should we fight this battle? We can't just run back in despair without fighting a single battle!" A general asked what everyone was thinking.

They can't go back.

When they gave up the little bit of land in the Central Plains, they couldn't go back. That bit of land had already been divided up by others. There was no other way except to conquer the North.

In the North, we must fight even if we don’t fight.

Yuan Shaoxing's eyes were fierce, "We must fight, it depends on how we fight. The enemy of our enemy is our friend. There are no permanent enemies in the world, only common interests."

The generals understand that it is difficult for their family to fight in the North, so they can form an alliance with the rebels to fight!
There is currently the most critical question before them, how should they form an alliance with the rebels?
