Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2338: Li Tang allies with Yuan, and the three parties take You?
Since the Qing Dynasty has already sent out all its elite troops, then the Li Tang is naturally no exception!

As the saying goes, the golden horn, the silver edge and the grass belly. Li Tang's position is exactly at the position of the golden horn.

On the ground, apart from Youqin and Manqing, there is no other force that can threaten them.

Coincidentally, this time, the two families bordering them, one is the enemy they have to face, and the other is their ally this time.

Although there are people who can threaten them on the sea, Li Tang has a considerable naval force, and it is not easy for anyone to threaten Li Tang's homeland from the sea.

Therefore, compared with the Qing Dynasty, Li Tang could mobilize the power of the whole country more efficiently and advance into You Qin.

Like Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, Li Shimin also led the army in person, with the country's top general Li Guangbi as his deputy general.

Four great counselors, Li Yishan, Gao Shang, Yan Zhuang and Chen Xiliang, followed the army.

Generals including Shi Siming, Feng Changqing, Cui Qianyou, Yizhi Wende, Yang Wanchun, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Geshu Han, Pugu Huai'en, Gao Shanzhi, Heichi Changzhi, Zhishishili, Shazha Xiangru, Qibi Heli, Wang Jin, Wang Yin, and Xingxingdan followed the army.

Li Yuanba, Du Jiaosi, Sai Taisui and other five powerful generals were also dispatched. Although Du Jiaosi was still on his way back to Li Tang from Xuzhou, he would inevitably participate in this battle.

The Five Fierce Generals were the five most powerful generals of Li Tang. They were at least mid-level god-level generals like Du Jiaosi and Sai Taisui.

Of course, among these five powerful generals, except for the top general Li Yuanba, the rest are mostly mid-level generals.

In addition, generals such as the Archer General Wang Sun-sin, Que Tekin, and Shuten-doji were also not idle.

Although Wang Shunchen, Que Teqin and Shuten Doji are not as strong as the five powerful generals mentioned above, their strength is second only to those people in the entire Li Tang Dynasty. All three of them have the strength of a beginner-level divine general.

Moreover, among these three people, Que Teqin was not only a fierce general, but also a famous general, and his command had reached an unparalleled level. With a basic command of 98 points, he was ranked among the top in the entire Li Tang Dynasty.

Wang Jin, Wang Yin, and Xingxingdan, each of these three people has unparalleled strength.

Shi Siming, Eulji Mundeok, Lee Hyo-gong, Gao Xianzhi and others also have the ability of a peerless commander.

In addition, a number of generals including Yi Sun-sin, Kuki Yoshitaka, and Yamata no Orochi were transferred back from Xuzhou. If they return, they can lead the navy to harass the coastal areas of Youzhou.

In the previous Autumn Wind Campaign, generals including Yi Sun-sin, Kuki Yoshitaka, Yamata no Orochi, as well as those temporarily transferred including Kuroda Takataka, Takenaka Shigeharu, Du Kakushi and others made outstanding contributions.

Not only did they recover a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and food for Li Tang, but they also captured a large number of craftsmen of all kinds, as well as 50,000 strong men and young women.

Li Shimin attached great importance to population. Since he ascended the throne of Li Tang, he not only promulgated various policies to encourage population growth.

Moreover, they seized every opportunity to plunder people from surrounding areas.

After that, he also ordered the Japanese civil and military officials who had surrendered to him to migrate the remaining population from Japan after the five forces attacked Japan.

Li Tang mobilized the entire country's forces, including the navy, infantry and cavalry, with an army of 200,000 to attack You.

At the same time, when Li Shimin sent Li Longji to the grassland to contact Huang Taiji, he also secretly sent envoys to Jizhou District to contact Yuan Shao. In order to remove the stumbling block of Qin Zheng, Li Shimin was thinking not only of the two parties joining forces to attack You, but of the three parties joining forces to attack You.

If Yuan Shao could be brought in, then at that time, the entire Youzhou would face attacks from three directions. It can almost be said that all the enemies that could come from all directions of Youzhou would come.

After all, Youzhou can only face enemies from these three directions at this time. As for Bingzhou in the west, it is separated by Taihang and Luliang. No matter which one attacks which one, there is no chance for them to defeat each other. If you have the time, you might as well change the route!

Not to mention that Youzhou Qin Zheng himself was exhausted at this time. Even if he was still in his prime, he would definitely not be able to hold on facing the joint siege of three forces.

These things also caused discussions within Jizhou.

This time, Yuan Shao's two major advisers, Cui Hao and Yuan Xi, reached a consensus and suppressed the voices of others, strongly advocating that Yuan Shao should keep a low profile and no longer get involved in this matter.

Firstly, at this time Yuan Chonghuan and the Guanning Cavalry were still isolated in the Jianghuai region, and their future prospects were bleak, which was enough to worry them.

Yes, Yuan Shao has not yet received the news that the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Jianghuai region has been completely wiped out. However, it seems that it will only take a few days for Yuan Shao to receive the news.

Secondly, Yuan Shao, who had been fighting wars year after year, no longer had the energy to launch a new round of war.

Otherwise, he would not have sent only the Guanning Cavalry to fight in the Central Plains and the South.

Instead of getting involved in this war, it would be better to recuperate and accumulate strength.

After all, with their current strength, even if they were to forcibly participate in this war, they would only become weaker and weaker, and in the end the gain would outweigh the loss.

When launching a major war, it is absolutely not just for the sake of fighting. There must be various political or military purposes behind it. Especially political purposes, the military is meant to serve politics.

This war was not in line with their primary goal at the moment, and was even less in line with their interests. The purpose of every major war should be to become stronger, and definitely not to become weaker.

Even if the three families combined their strength and defeated Qin Zheng in the end, they would definitely fight to the death in Youzhou at that time. Youzhou was not small, but it was definitely not big either, and it could not accommodate the existence of the three families.

How could they, who were already suffering heavy losses and were getting weaker and weaker, possibly compete with the remaining two companies?

If I do this, I will just be sacrificing myself and end up doing things for both families in vain.

Besides, this does not even take into account the impact this battle will have on their own reputation!

To put it bluntly, the relationship between them and Temujin was just a transaction between the two families.

But if they joined forces with the Qing Dynasty and Li Tang to attack the Qin government, the nature of this situation would immediately change.

In addition, the transactions between them and Temujin could not be separated from Qinzheng, the transit hub, for the time being.

Therefore, Yuan Shao finally rejected Li Tang's envoy under the advice of Yuan Xi and Cui Hao, and kindly informed Qin Zheng of the matter, reminding Qin Zheng to be careful.
