Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1390
Although Liu Qun and others have lived in remote areas for many years and lived under the fence of others, their background and experience determine that their vision is far beyond that of ordinary people.I had nothing to do before, and it's not that I haven't discussed the strategy of calming the chaos in the Liao border, but they are not very optimistic.

First of all, the climate in the Liao border is harsh, with long cold winters and short warm summers. This alone is doomed to make it difficult to carry out large-scale, sustainable and effective cultivation.Because in the past few years, whether it is the Jin people who have been forced into exile here, or the local powerful Hu chieftains, they are all eager to go to Youji and other regions with far superior geography and climate.

Secondly, the Liao affairs collapsed for a long time, and Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou in the early years, conspired mischievously and acted arbitrarily, which also made these Liao border groups no longer respect Wang Tong. To devote himself to the competition among the barbarians to obtain their own interests has no sense of defense against the barbarians.

The former point means that there is no underlying foundation for long-term management of the Liao border area, and the latter point means that there is no upper-level consensus that unifies the hearts of scholars.Therefore, in the view of Liu Qun and others, even if Xingtai unifies the north and the south, and even storms the Liao border, it will probably follow the story of Emperor Xuandi Sima Yi in the old year, move the dead households in the Liao border, and divide and suppress the local Hulu. It is difficult to create a deeper level.

However, it is normal for them to have such a cognition. The general trend of the world has always been to the north to defend the south, and the south rarely wins the upper hand in the competition for general trend.Liu Qun and the others lack years of experience in Jiangdong or Xingtai, so they cannot have any groundbreaking strategies for Liao affairs from the perspective of Xingtai.

Wen Fangzhi's whole set of strategies is based on the absolute advantages of Xingtai's strong navy, especially on the sea route. Its foothold lies in the operation of several port strongholds, covering the entire Liao border from point to area.

Allow advance and allow retreat, first gain a foothold in an invincible position, and then seek more inland from the Liao border.In this way, the obstruction caused by the difficult obstacles that Liu Qun and the others believed to be insurmountable can be minimized.

It is an indisputable fact that the navy in the southern country is strong. Especially since the use of Taiwan, the management of this aspect has reached a new peak.The old Wu itself had the basis of sea shipping. During the period of Emperor Wu Sun Quan, it connected Liaodong in the north and connected the Southeast Asian countries in the south.

General Shen of Xingtai was born in the old clan of local tyrants in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. His ancestors, such as Shen Ying's old book "Linhai Tuzhi", recorded the past events of the land and sea in the Eastern Wu period in detail.In the early years, his family was in charge of Sanwu Kuaiji, and in order to ease the land conflict with the overseas Chinese in Nandu, he vigorously built islands.Afterwards, sea transportation was vigorously developed, and goods from Jiangdong flowed into Zhongzhou continuously.

The barbarians in the Liao border are powerful, and they still don't know how to rule the roost on land. Facing the invasion and infiltration of Xingtai and the sea, they have no way to resist.

Because of this difference in cognition and thinking, it is difficult for Liu Qun and others to evaluate the plan proposed by Wen Fangzhi.However, Xu Lang, the new general who arrived in Liao, made a lot of supplements in terms of details.

Xu Lang is in the army, and his father Xu Mao has served as the commander of the navy all year round, so he also has a deep understanding of river and sea navigation, which Wen Fang can't match.

Xu Lang first affirmed Wen Fangzhi's idea of ​​starting from island management and building a sea route foundation, but then pointed out some technical obstacles.

Although Xingtai has inherited the navigation foundation of the old Wu and has made great progress, it has not yet reached the level where thousands of miles of sea waves are smooth, and it is also limited by the seasons, and the real sea passage time is very short every year.

In particular, the Liao region is currently suffering from a long and severe winter, so the sea routes are also restricted a lot.For example, Qinhuangdao, Pinglinkou and other ports in the circle of Wenfang will be frozen for a period of time every year, and Mashijin on the south side is not frozen, but there are many ice floes a little away from the coast, and the wind and waves are changing and dangerous, so it is doomed every year. More than half of the time, it is difficult for these port strongholds to communicate with each other by sea.

"Because the construction of these ports cannot rely solely on the sea route, the self-consolidation and echoing of the land cannot be ignored."

For Xu Lang's supplement, Wen Fangzhi also took it seriously, and he didn't have the idea of ​​completely relying on the advantage of the sea route.After all, the main purpose of Wang Shi's northward journey was to regain the entire territory of Liao, wipe out these Hulu forces, and make Liao a land ruled by the king.The main significance of this strategy is to use the advantages of the sea route to make up for the shortage of land in the early stage of operation.

Wen Fangzhi's proposal of this plan also gave a way to follow in the management of Liao affairs in the future.

Although the Governor of Youzhou has a certain amount of armed force, it is not too strong in the whole Liao territory. In addition, those Hu Zhongyicong are not trustworthy. Once they are too involved in the struggle in the Liao border, it will be difficult to gain an advantage.Especially the Murong Department, even though it has now split into three parts, no matter which part they have now, they have more power than they can use at the moment.

With Wen Fangzhi's plan as a guide, they don't have to have a direct conflict with the forces of the Murong Ministry on land.In this way, the detached position of Xingtai can also be maintained, so that the Murong Ministry and other forces will regard them as external reinforcements that they can rely on, so that they can drive tigers and wolfs away more calmly and reap the benefits.

After confirming the basic idea for the future, Liu Qun also quickly entered the role: "At present, the Murong roads are the strongest in western Liaoning, the city of Dathorn is in the middle, and the weakest in eastern Liaodong. It is impossible for the three roads to return to the team in the short term. one."

The Murong tribe in western Liaoning is mainly Murong Hao's son Murong Zun and general Mu Yugen. Because it is close to Youzhou, the defense force is the strongest. The Murong headquarters alone has nearly [-] people.

Coupled with the Liaoxi Incident provoked by Liu Qun and the others before, the Murong Department received the remnants of the Yuwen Department and other miscellaneous soldiers, adding up to a total of more than [-] people, and most of them were small and strong soldiers.Because judging from the current situation alone, the forces of this group of people are indeed the strongest.

"However, Murong Zun's situation is too great and difficult for a long time. The western part of Liao Dynasty was originally not Murong's ancestral business. Now that the headquarters is in chaos, it is even more difficult for the newly attached people to unite. If it lasts for a long time, it will collapse..."

Among other things, Duan Lan from the Duanbu Department enthusiastically sent troops to Zimengchuan to rescue Wen Fangzhi and others, hoping to use this performance to get Xingtai's support so that he could return to Lingzhi and restore his ancestral business.Moreover, Murong Zun has so many troops, but he lacks a solid foundation in western Liaoning. Once there is no turning point in the future, the food consumption of the troops alone will be enough to wear him down.

"Jie Kingdom didn't trust the Donghu people at first, so it was struggling to entrust Murong Wannian. Now that the Murong Department is collapsing, Zhang Ju of Youzhou may not miss this good opportunity. Yu Lingzhi must have a plan to kill Murong Department. Let the people collect it for their own use to help China in the war. Therefore, this matter must be stopped, and the gain or loss of the support is not the point for the time being. Murong Zun's subordinates must not fall into the hands of the Jie country!"

The best way to prevent Murong Zun's tribe from being annexed by Xu Wu's Zhang Ju is to encourage him to return east.Liaoxi Lingzhi is too close to Xu Wu. As long as Murong Zun can lead his troops to leave Lingzhi and extend the offensive front, as the war in China becomes more and more fierce, Zhang Ju will not dare to go too deep into Liao to plot this group of troops.

This can be achieved easily, even without their instigating, there are irreconcilable conflicts between Murong Zun and Murong Jun.Murong Jun's murder of his father is a violation of human ethics and morality. Once he is eliminated, it is logical for Murong Zun to inherit the tribe.

This is indeed the case. After the news of Murong Hao's death reached Lingzhi, Murong Zun sent some forward troops to the east to inquire about the news and wait and see the situation.

Not long after Wen Fangzhi and the others arrived in Tuhe, they learned that Murong Zun had led [-] men under his command to march eastward in mighty force, and approached Zimengchuan in a very short time. People from all walks of life in the Murong tribe were controlled by him, and they jointly killed the rebellious son Murong Jun.

In addition, Murong Zun also learned that Wen Fangzhi and the envoys of the Jin Kingdom were in Tuhe, so he sent his younger brother Murong Li to meet him, and asked Wen Fangzhi, Liu Qun and others to come forward to respond to justice and call on the Liao border The exiles, including Murong Jiang and others who were temporarily attached to them, jointly attacked Murong Jun.

"Is this white slave stupid? Even if the others don't care, he is the mortal enemy of our Xingtai just because he pretends to be the king of Jie Feng. How dare you expect the king's ministers to come forward to help him?"

Murong Hao has many heirs, and not everyone is an outstanding person, and this Murong Zun, in Wen Fangzhi's view, is an out-and-out fool.Probably he thought that he was powerful and would be able to defeat Murong Jun, because the Murong Li who was sent was also very rude in his words, and still regarded them as prisoners of the Murong Department.

So Wen Fangzhi was not polite, directly detained Murong Li and his party, cut off one of Murong Li's ears, and then released several Murong Zun's envoys to report to Murong Zun, Murong Hao was treacherous, violent, rebellious and untrustworthy, and committed suicide. There is a way to kill, but Murong Zun is still relentless, and he is about to follow in his footsteps, so don't expect extravagant support from the Xingtai.

"Nanman dare to bully me like this!"

After Murong Zun received the reply, he was also furious.He already felt that he was powerful, and he believed that Murong Jun had betrayed his relatives, and that his return to the country would be a success, but he didn't expect that those few prisoners of the Nanman dared to humiliate him like this, how could he bear this breath .

Because it was Murong Zun who didn't even go to Dathorn City at all, and after occupying the Dragon City under construction, he led [-] soldiers to rush towards Tuhe aggressively.

At this time in Tuhe, after Duan Lan escorted Wen Fangzhi and others to the border, because he was concerned about the situation in western Liaoning and wanted to reap the profits, he helped Master Wang lay the foundation for Qinhuangdao, so he led his troops back to Yangle.Therefore, in Tuhe right now, there are only Murong Jiang and Murong Ping with nearly two thousand troops, and there are thousands of masters led by Xu Lang.

Murong Jiang and Murong Ping were afraid of Murong Zun's ferocity, but they just urged Wen Fangzhi to avoid the edge a little bit, might as well cross the sea and return to Shijin first.After all, they are cowardly and greedy, they just want to share benefits with Xingtai, but they will never work for Xingtai.

Therefore, in this battle, the only ones who can rely on Xu Lang are the soldiers of the king's division.

Although Wen Fangzhi is not willing to directly fight and conflict with the forces of the Murong Ministry at this stage, it is really difficult to avoid the Murong family's idiots getting confused, and in the future Xingtai will actually manage the Liao territory. If you don't show your fangs, It is difficult to deter these Donghu people, so this battle is imperative!
