Dongfanghong took the official document and looked at it carefully. This is the court report issued by the court to the governor of the state. Basically, this kind of court report is used when there are major events. The newspaper generally said, "The Southern'Chen State' is now in Jiangxia with 250,000 Chen soldiers, and the momentum is to go to war with me. The military situation urgently ordered the local governments to comfort the people and manage the local government affairs. Don't use it." Chen Guo's have the opportunity to take advantage of it. During the war, the prefectures and capitals must provide logistical supplies. The northern states and capitals must be more careful to prevent the Turks from coming back, always be cautious and so on." Dongfanghong returned the official document after reading it.
"How? Do you understand? Tell me what you have in mind."
Dongfanghong thought for a while and said: "This'Chen Guo' is bigger than mine, and Qi is weaker and weaker. It depends on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to persist until now. Gu Haier understands my'Qi' and'Chen's previous confrontations, ten We initiated nine times.'Chen Guo' is sometimes stretched even if it sticks to the Yangtze River. How can they be so bold and provocative this time? And they only raised 250,000 troops. I am afraid that this little force cannot be shaken. The country's big tree! In that case, for what purpose did they fight this battle? I am afraid that no one will do anything that is not good."
"You can think of these are really good. As for the benefits of the'Chen Guo' fighting such a meaningless battle, if you think about it, if we'Qi Guo' seek peace, wouldn't there be great benefits? !" Dongfang Lunde said in a deep sense.
"Peg for peace! How is this possible? My boy remembers several times in the confrontation with each other, except when Taizu just founded his foundation because of unstable foundation, he once lost to'Chen Guo'. I have never asked the other party for the rest of the war. Make peace! Either the two sides will strike out, or the other side will take the initiative to negotiate a peace."
"You are right, but if you look at these things, you may understand why the father said that. This is the information that Fang Xiao's men have sent in the past six months." He said that he handed Dongfanghong a stack of letters.
Dongfang Hongjian is the paper dedicated to'Blood Shadow', and these pieces of information were sent by Dongfang Hong during the period when Dongfang Hong was away from home. Fang Xiao sent it to the governor because of the military situation. All these pieces of information said were one thing, that is, the'******' suffered severe disasters this year, first drought followed by locust plague, and the pastures suffered heavy losses, cattle and sheep suffered numerous deaths and injuries. What has caught Dongfanghong’s attention most is that the intelligence said that the winter in Mobei will arrive earlier this year than before, and based on experience, this winter will bring an unpredictable snow disaster to the'Turkic', within the territory of the'Turkic' The various ministries have been mobilized frequently in the last two months, and it is estimated that they will act on me.
Dongfanghong suddenly realized after reading it: "It turns out that the'Turkic' is going to attack my border and prepare some food and grass for the winter. Now it is the autumn harvest season, they can really choose the time! No wonder'Chen Guo' is about to move at this time, and affects them. I found an ally!" Dongfang Hong said, thinking again.
After a while, Dongfanghong said to herself: "In the past, the Turks often harassed my borders, but I have never found allies. This time I have to contact the Chen Guo. Is the Turks going south this time? So let the'Chen Guo' contain our forces and dare not fully cope with the'Turkic' invasion. If so, the court might really be able to seek peace with the'Chen Guo' in order to ensure the peace of the north. Nowadays, the harvest season is about to enter, isn't it The iron horse riding that says'Turkic' is coming, and there will be thousands of them." Dongfang Hong couldn't help but startled.
"Okay! My son is really smart and can think of this relationship right away. You are right. If the father is not wrong, this time the Turkic forces will go south to take food. It is estimated that there will be at least two hundred thousand. After all, the other party has to deal with the imminent disaster, and only sending a handful of soldiers and horses to grab the food and grass cannot be saved. They must only send a large army to get more supplies for the winter."
"We can all think of these things. Why didn't we think that there would be people in the imperial court? No soldiers were sent to consolidate the border, and no detailed comments were made in the court newspaper. This is not an opportunity for the'Turkic'!" Dongfang Hong I am really wondering, even if the court is all fools, the guy sent by'Yingtian Pavilion' shouldn't understand it! But why didn't it mention it in the official document without giving notice
"Then you have to learn a little. How do you know that the court did not notify? I am afraid that the emergency military newspaper of the court has already reached the hands of the generals on the border, and the reason why it is understated in the court newspapers everywhere is that they do not want to cause Unnecessary panic, this is also what people want to stabilize." Dongfang Lunde explained.
When Dongfanghong heard it, he patted his head with his hand and thought,'How can I forget this ballast. The country has always turned big things into small things. Even if the big things are concealed, they will calm the matter secretly, and then come forward and do some official articles that are not painful or itchy.******** . What is afraid is that the people take advantage of the chaos and gangs to make trouble, which will affect the rule of the leaders and the international image.'
Dongfanghong was still a little puzzled and asked, "But at least some troops should be mobilized for emergencies!"
"You don’t know this. The reason why the imperial court has not mobilized the army is because I just said it so as not to disturb the people’s hearts. Second, it’s because of the "Chen Guo" Chen Bingjiang, and your cousin’s Jingzhou camp is a standing soldier. There are only 100,000 horses, and it is obviously not enough to deal with 200,000 horses. However, the defense forces along the river did not dare to move away, so the court must send the existing mobile units to the south. And I can really go to battle. The force that killed the enemy was only 600,000, and the military power stationed at the northern border alone accounted for half. After all, there are 300,000 cavalry capable of conquering the Turks. The 100,000 horses of the'General Zhenbei' are stationed. In the two states of the Yong Dynasty, 60,000 horses of the'General Zhendong' were stationed in Youzhou, and 100,000 horses of the'General Zhenxi' were stationed in Liangzhou. They also had to guard against the'West Turks', and nearly 200,000 troops were deployed along the river in the south. Guard against the'Chen Kingdom'. You can count the number of soldiers and horses that the court can actually mobilize. There are only 200,000 soldiers left. At least one hundred thousand troops will be sent to the south this time. The remaining hundred thousand will probably be used by the court for emergency response. How could it be sent to the border!"
After hearing his father’s explanation, Dongfanghong couldn’t help but say: “It turns out that the imperial court is sometimes stretched out! It seems that'Chen Guo' will succeed this time. We can only seek reconciliation and transfer troops to rescue."
"You are wrong, and my father can guarantee that even if the court concedes defeat to the Turkic, it will never show weakness to Chen Guo. Chen Guo's idea this time must have come to nowhere, and he did a thankless thing."
"What's the reason?" Dongfanghong was shocked by his father's words.
"How? Can you think of a reason?"
Dongfanghong then began to analyze to himself: "The court will not show weakness to the'Chen State', which means that the court must always allow itself to suppress the other party. Once the peace is made, the morale of the army will be damaged. You can’t find a victory after losing a few battles. That is to say, the opponent is always at a disadvantage. Obviously, this is done to destroy the "Chen Guo" in one fell swoop when the opponent completely collapses, so it will never be given to the opponent. Any chance of respite, otherwise you have to start all over again. After all, the other party is also a country with a certain strength, and the monarch is not a mediocre person. Only with this method will the loss on our side be the smallest. If we attack hard, I am afraid that there will be no four. A half-million army is impossible! The current state of Qi does not have this national power."
Listening to his son's analysis, Dongfang Lund nodded with a smile on his face. Dongfanghong went on to analyze: "If you want to implement this strategy, you must completely resolve other interfering factors. For Qi Guo, it is the Turks that can influence this strategy. Once they and Chen Guo 'Joining forces will not only fail all the plans, but also bring trouble to themselves. But the strength of the Turkic forces is not under the Qi State. The court cannot deal with them at this time, so the best way is to stabilize the Turkic "People, try their best to win them over or even make everything possible, and wait until the'Chen Guo' is destroyed before freeing up to deal with this powerful enemy. Isn't this Chairman Chiang's strategy of "being an insider before you humiliate outsiders"!"
"What Commissioner Chiang?" Dongfang Lund asked wonderingly.
'I was so absorbed in my thoughts that even the name of "****** popped out." "Dongfanghong was startled by his father's question, but he immediately switched the subject and said, "I don't know if the child's analysis is correct? The imperial court is to implement the strategy of'interference with foreigners must be settled first', so even if the'Turkic' troubles As long as it is not a threat to the survival of the country, Da Qi will ignore it, and even bow his head."
Dongfang Lund looked at Dongfanghong in surprise. He didn't expect his son to have such a mind, so he said happily: "You are right, the imperial court is so strategic now. So this is also the third reason not to send troops to the border. To avoid large-scale confrontation with the other party."
"Oh! Isn't this suffering the millions of people on the border? Their lives are threatened by the enemy at all times, and their homes are constantly trampled on by the enemy, and the country, as their support, ignores them, and even ignores them. They gave in to Hulu’s iron hoof and scimitar. It is really a disaster for the people!" Dongfanghong said with emotion, although he knew that'******' would eventually be integrated into the Chinese nation. But now he is still full of anger.
Seeing his son's impassioned statement, Dongfang Lunde was even more pleased. He had already seen in Dongfanghong the heroic figure of the family's ancestors smiling proudly and drinking blood on the battlefield.
"These'Turkic' people are also, since the court has this attitude, they can directly ask the court for food and grass, and what are they going to fight? It's really a'wolf nature' to train!"
Dongfang Lund said with a smile: "These food and grass are not a decimal! No matter how the court will not give it. Now the court will let the border garrison defend as much as possible. If the loss is really too great and the enemy is not too much, The defenders may be allowed to rob them. After all, the court will not lose too much. Of course, if the opponent has too many soldiers and horses, the court will not sit back and watch. It's big."
Dongfanghong heard his father's words and asked: "This time the Turkic attack, if there is such a main force, or even Gili Khan personally leads the team, where will they set the goal?"
Dongfang Lunde said two words "Yongzhou!" with a solemn expression on his face.
