The rise of the prince

Chapter 669 Liu Xu's Conspiracy

Wanyan Wugu is full of anger, not just because the Tatar tribe wants to reduce the number of tribute horses.

Since last year, people from the Tatar tribe have successively crossed the northern part of Yinshan Mountain and harassed the northwest of Dajin Kingdom. Although they refused to admit it, they knew that it was them after a little thought.

Damn, these wild dogs who can't keep a family are thinking of making a fortune while they are fighting the Liao Kingdom!His face is dark and his bones are gritted.

At that time, it was not just the Tatar tribe. Many tribes on the grassland were grateful for the Liao Kingdom, and although they were afraid of Dajin, they still did not surrender.

Later, the Dajin unstoppably destroyed the Liao Kingdom. Some of them surrendered at first, such as the Tatar tribe and the Wanggu tribe who were closest to the Jin Kingdom. The main focus is on the south again. During the few years of this gap period, it began to grow continuously. When it has strength, it tries to break away from the control of Daikin.

Now the Kingdom of Jin wants to be wary of the Jing Kingdom in the south, and most of the troops are concentrated in Datong Mansion in the west and Shanhaiguan in the east.

Wanyan Wugunai's face was cold, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

If there is no Jingguo, maybe he will personally raise the army to go north, cross the pass of Yinshan Mountain and Daxianbei Mountain, and crush the Tatar tribe in the Qin Muchu Dynasty.

But after thinking about it, Wanyan Wugu is very sure that Jing Guo in the south is his biggest enemy, especially after meeting King Pingnan.

Once the Northern Expedition started, it would not be able to end within a year or two. If Jing Guo sent troops from behind at this time, they would be caught in a double attack.

And what he fears the most is King Pingnan's navy!

He had never thought before that the navy could be so powerful. In the Battle of Nanjing, the main force of the Pingnan King's East Route Army was certainly powerful. They quickly conquered Weizhou, Anding, and reached the city of Nanjing. Even he did not dare to think about how Li Xingzhou attacked the city. of.

However, as a man who has fought all his life, Wan Yan, who has a keen sense of war and his keen sense of war, deeply feels the bone-chilling chill coming from King Pingnan's West Route Army.

With a large ship as a team, go northward on the Bohai Sea, follow the Haihe River (the downstream name) to the Wuding River, defeat the blocked Liao Kingdom along the way, and defeat the main force led by Yelu Dashi.

Thinking about such an army is a headache, and the spine is chilled. What I am afraid of is not its combat effectiveness, but its unpredictable deployment ability!

If Qianguo threatened him in the past, he would at most smile. Dajin warriors are invincible in the world, and they have never been afraid of anyone on land. Moreover, when troops are sent on land, the roads must be fixed. If you guard important passes and crossings, you can defend them to the death, even if you can't hold them. , You can also clearly know the opponent's marching route, so as to formulate various countermeasures.

Such as deploying heavy troops to guard the road that the opponent's army must pass, or setting up an ambush.

But if it is to enter by water, what about the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea?
In the vast ocean, where can I find Jingguo's army?From Shanhaiguan to the north, there is a long coastline, who knows where Jinghui will launch its attack?What route to take?There are no natural dangers at sea, and you don't even know where Jing Jun will attack, how to defend, and how to deploy troops?

As a person who has fought wars for decades, Wanyan Wugunai immediately thought of these thorny issues, so he regarded Jingguo as his biggest worry, especially after meeting King Pingnan.

Therefore, no matter how the Mongolian tribes in the north kept provoking and trying to get rid of Dajin's control, he had no time to take care of it and could only turn a blind eye.

But he could see this, but the veterans and heroes who followed him to fight might not be able to. This was also where his headache was, so he immediately thought of Liu Xu.
After a while, the important ministers of the court and his confidant sons all came, everyone was not polite, they found a place to sit down, and then Wan Yan Wu Gu Nai showed them the letter.

As a result, after watching it for a while, the following shouted and shouted to go north to flatten the Tatar Ministry.

After all, after several years of victorious battles, everyone is still intoxicated by the invincible glory of Dajin in the past. Many surrounding countries surrendered, including the Xia Kingdom in the west, Goryeo in the east, and many Mongolian tribes in the north.The reason why it is said is the past, because the war has been fought until now, Dajin is already at the end of his strength and needs to recuperate.

It is precisely because of this that the Tatar tribe gradually began to have different intentions and harassed the border of the Dajin Kingdom from the north.

Everyone is talking a lot, but almost everyone agrees, that is to fight a war.

Under the quarrel, the room was full of noise, full of gunpowder, and sighed, his brothers who fought the world together still couldn't change their minds. If they continue to follow their way of thinking, Da Jin will not long term.

So he looked at Liu Xu who had been silent all this time, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

Hearing his question, everyone looked at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu smiled awkwardly, then stood up and looked at the crowd, "I heard what the generals said, and I also had a glimpse of righteous indignation in my heart. This move by the Tatar Department is simply challenging me, Da Jin Tianwei, and he deserves to be punished!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were gearing up and applauded.

Wanyan Wugu was taken aback, he asked Liu Xu to speak out, just to calm everyone down, but he didn't expect him to say such words.

At this time Liu Xu continued: "But, there is one thing that I have to care about, and that is the military rations.

Generals, in fact, we have been fighting for so many years, and Liao's food reserves are almost gone. Since last year, we have bought food from Xixia and Jingguo merchants to support the army.

After May of this year, more than half of the military rations were bought. The merchants in Jingguo doubled the price of grains, and we could only grit our teeth and buy them. "

"Damn it, people from Jingguo are insidious and cunning villains!" Someone yelled.

The corners of Liu Xu's mouth twitched, because he was also from Jingguo, but he quickly covered it up with no expression on his face, and continued: "If there is another large army to go to the north, I'm afraid they will starve to death halfway through. So in my opinion, this It's time to recuperate. As long as we endure for two or three years, with the emperor's policy of tolerance and love for the people, coupled with the love of the people, I can have a lot of gold and have enough money and food.

At that time, we will accumulate the good horses from the grasslands in the north, the armor and weapons from the Xia Kingdom in the west, and our own forging, and we will forge an army of invincible gold warriors with more than [-] armors galloping across the world. Be strong.

At that time, we can go south to seize the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and go north to control the vast horse farms. The Xia Kingdom in the desolate land can be a subsidiary and provide us with refined iron. Goryeo, separated by mountains and mountains in the east, can pay us tribute to beautiful women. Who in the world can compete with us? I'm fighting for gold?
On the contrary, if we are in a hurry and bet on the Northern Expedition when the national strength is lacking, the food and grass are insufficient, and the soldiers are exhausted, if it fails, not only will the country suffer a great loss, the soldiers will be killed and injured, and it will also attract the backlash of the Liao forces that are already lurking in various places. My great fortune through the ages will be ruined once."
