Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 450 Two Gongs, Three Roars
In the new capital city, amidst the anxiety of everyone, Liu Wei and others made a strong return.

Not only did Liu Wei return safely and smoothly, but Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing, two fierce generals, also returned safely.And the news of everyone's return brought the chaotic new capital city back to calm.

It's a pity that this calmness lasted only for one day, followed by the news that Han Shizhong's [-] troops will set off from Gongzhou to attack the new capital.

No one knows how the news came out, and Liu Wei also felt that there was no need to deliberately block anything. What comes will always come. Meaning, with such free time, it is better to think about how to deal with it next.

"Han Shizhong's army is nothing to worry about!"

When Gao Chong returned home, he saw the old man and elder brother Gao Jin, and after only taking a day off, he formally joined the Liu Family Army's system.Liu Wei also attached great importance to Gao Chong, and directly appointed Gao Chong as the Generalissimo of the Liu Family Army, and his status in the military system was even higher than that of Liu Wei.

With such a status, Gao Chong naturally has enough say in the upcoming war.

If the bet between Liu Wei and Han Shizhong in Gongzhou City was followed, Han Shizhong's attack on the new capital would be a certainty, and there was no need to guess, just calculate the strength and combat power of both sides, and make arrangements.

However, after synthesizing the information collected in the recent period, everyone discovered that Han Shizhong's army is not the only team eyeing the new capital. Big Sanguan!
It stands to reason that Wu Jie guarded the exit of Dasan Pass, and it is definitely not easy for Jin soldiers to break through, but the problem lies with Wu Jie.

Just three days before Liu Wei and others returned, Wu Lin, who lived in the new capital city, received an urgent message from Dasan Pass: Wu Jie was seriously ill and in danger!

Hearing the news, Wu Lin immediately reported to Gao Jin and Gao Yuniang, and Gao Yuniang did not stop her at all, but instead provided all conveniences so that Wu Lin could rush to Dashanguan as soon as possible.

Wu Jie was seriously ill, the Jin army was approaching, and the Dasan Pass could be held. The importance of this battle was more important than Han Shizhong.

"If Dasan Pass is captured by Jin soldiers, even if we have confidence in the defense of the new capital city, it is like a battle between the gates. If the courtyard gate is seized by others, how can we rest assured that we can move around in the courtyard? In the long run, Dasan Pass , don’t fall into the hands of the golden men!”

This is Gao Chong's opinion, but his opinion cannot be accepted by Gao Jin.

"The Dasan Pass is the imperial court's Dasan Pass. There is no reason why the imperial court wants us to guard it instead of sending troops? Then Han Shizhong happens to have an army of [-]. If even he doesn't want the Dasan Pass, then we don't need it either! Second brother, what are you talking about inside and outside the courtyard? Right now, this courtyard is not ours! Besides, things are progressing smoothly on the Panxi Plateau. Now that Duan Zhengyu and Jintanzi are locked in a stalemate, it seems that the two sides have a draw , but anyone can see that the golden marble has already stood its ground, and as time goes on, the war will become more and more unfavorable to Dali!"

"Speaking of this matter, big brother, have all the firearms Duan Zhengyu asked for been delivered?" Liu Wei asked, intending to speak fiercely.

Gao Jin nodded and said: "It's all delivered, but it's just that high-end firearms, those barbarians in Dali, can't use them normally without spending some time. Yes, Zhan Mu sent back a message a few days ago, saying When Duan Zhengyu asked to send firearms instructors, how to decide on this matter?"

"Oh? Let's give it to the instructor if he wants it? You have to give him something!"

Liu Wei laughed, which relieved the tense atmosphere in the room a lot. Gao Yuniang continued, "It's strange to say that, the news from Zhan Mu really didn't mention what Duan Zhengyu promised. Husband, isn't that section of Zhengyu a bit hypocritical?"

"otherwise!"

After pondering for a while, Liu Wei waved his hands and said, "It is very possible that Duan Zhengyu is waiting for our request! Well, it seems that Dali Kingdom is about to lose the Shanchan Mansion, and it happens to be the time for us to cheat, so let's put this matter aside for a while." Let’s go, let’s talk about the Great Sanctuary, Wu Jie. I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape this time.”

Liu Wei knew better than everyone else that Wu Jie's illness had no chance of getting better. According to the historical trend, Wu Lin should have taken over Wu Jie's duties and carried the banner to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south.However, because of the existence of Liu Wei, the imperial court must have known the fact that the Wu family defected to Liu Wei. Hand it over to Wu Lin, who is like Liu Yi's subordinate?
I am afraid that no matter how stupid the emperor and ministers are, they will not make such a decision. Liu Wei even guessed that if the court receives the news that Wu Jie is seriously ill, the person who will succeed Wu Jie may already be on his way to Dashan Pass. on the way.

Considering these circumstances, what Gao Chong said was not aimless.

Whether it is a bet with Han Shizhong or a conflict, in the final analysis it is a conflict among the people.However, if Jin Wushu is allowed to easily occupy Dashanguan, in the long run, it will be quite detrimental to Liu Wei's development.

"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense, but so what? Is it possible that we really sent troops to help the court guard the Dasan Pass? Our troops are limited, and the court will never Because we divided our troops and scattered the customs, we ordered Han Shizhong to withdraw, if not, the dog emperor will take advantage of the fire and rob him!"

It should be said that Gao Jin's words also have some truth.

After all, what Zhao Gou wants most right now is to negotiate a peace with the Kingdom of Jin, so that he can get some buffer time to make a smooth transition and have a peaceful life.Thinking about it, Zhao Gou, who was ambitious at the beginning, had to face the reality and bow his head at this time because of the years of fighting.

In order to be able to form an alliance with Jin Guo, Zhao Gou will definitely do whatever it takes.On the bright side, Jin Wushu sent troops to disperse the pass in order to get Liu Wei. If the imperial court can capture Liu Wei and hand it over to Jin Wushu, and complete the alliance smoothly, then the crisis will be resolved naturally.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with such an understanding, but neither Liu Wei nor Gao Chong agrees with Gao Jin's words.On this issue, Gao Yuniang did not express her own opinion. The only thing she believed in was: it is impossible for the new capital to fall.

With this confidence, no matter what decision Liu Wei made in the end, Gao Yuniang would be able to accept it.

"Brother, as long as we still want to develop, Dasan Pass must not fall into the hands of Jinren. To be precise, it cannot fall into the hands of anyone except Wu Lin! Liu Wei, I mean, go all out and support Wu Lin is in control of the Dasan Pass!"

"Second brother's idea coincides with mine! Wu Lin's control of Dashanguan can not only convince the soldiers of Dashanguan, but also is in our best interest. Brother, don't worry, even if we fully support Dashanguan Clearing the customs will not cause too much crisis to the city defense, but it is just a group of firearms and musketeers." Having said this, Liu Wei turned to Gao Yuniang and asked:

"How is the training of our recruits now? Also, the brand new firearms workshop should have been put into operation, right?"

"The newly recruited 1 soldiers have reached the service standard, and all of them belong to the firearms battalion. Among them, 1 people have received musketeer training, and [-] people have received other firearms training. Husband, how do you arrange these? Send them Do you want to go to Sanguan?"

"Well, some of them may need to be pulled out to go to Dasan Pass, but it can only be finalized after contacting that kid Wu Lin. Wait, but on the second brother's side, I plan to allocate some soldiers and horses as the second brother's direct team. What do you think bro?"

Here Liu Wei wants to give Gao Chong the direct subordinate of the soldiers and horses, but Gao Chong doesn't want to do this, he frowned and shook his head and said: "No need to do this, now I already have the title of Generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, for other generals, it is already It's a little unfair, if you take their soldiers and horses again, it will be detrimental to the overall stability, yes, didn't you just say that you have trained a group of recruits? I will select a group of them and train them for a while."

"Second brother, my younger sister just said that the recruits are all Musketeers."

Gao Jin was afraid that Gao Chong would go his own way, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"It's okay, what happened to the Musketeers? I think what Liu Wei said makes sense. Those of us who are generals must change our thinking in time. Although firearms are not the main force on the battlefield now, I think that using Before long, firearms will largely replace cold weapons, Liu Wei, is that what you said?"

"Yes, the second elder brother's ability to accept is really strong, I admire it!" Liu Wei smiled and gave Gao Chong a thumbs up. Gao Jin, poor ability to accept new things?
However, since Gao Chong himself said so, it is inconvenient for Gao Jin to comment on this matter, and then he brought the topic to the current financial benefits and other aspects.

Generally speaking, the current financial operation can only be regarded as reluctant, because the land is distributed according to the head, and all civilians who receive their own land actively cooperate with the work of the government in all aspects, so in terms of taxation, it is not question.

However, in Liu Wei's research institute alone, the funds consumed accounted for a large part of the entire financial profit. For this reason, Gao Jin mentioned more than once that he wanted to reduce the investment in the research institute, but he always talked to Gao Yuniang. They were discussing, but Gao Yuniang never nodded.

Today, Gao Jin finally seized the opportunity to raise this question in front of Liu Wei.

"Impossible!" After hearing Gao Jin's words while frowning, Liu Wei said decisively without hesitation: "Impossible! Our own consumption level can be reduced, but the expenses of the research institute and the army cannot be reduced." Reduction! Brother, the research institute guarantees our future, while the army protects our present, you must understand this!"

"But the finances are tight!" Of course, Gao Jin knew it in his heart, but as the "Minister of the Interior", he also had difficulties that he couldn't tell.

"Finance is tight? No money, let's grab it!"

It wasn't Liu Wei who said this, but Yang Zaixing who was sitting at the side, who came out of nowhere.
