Chapter 67: Pre-war analysis (2)

Views:

The reason why Dongfanghong had so much confidence in herself was that Dongfanghong had confidence in the Marshal'Dingnan King', the current leader of'Chen Guo'.

When Dongfanghong got the information of the leading marshal of the'Chen Guo', he couldn't help laughing when he saw the name of the person in front of him. At the same time, he also decided that Qi Guo was going to be unlucky this time! Because the Dingnan king of the'Chen Kingdom', Dongfanghong is so familiar with him. He is the famous marshal of the'Sui and Tang Dynasties' that Dongfanghong read in the history of the previous life. He is also ranked fifth among the 18 heroes of the'Sui and Tang Dynasties'. 'Backer King' Yang Lin.

Dongfanghong really did not expect that this famous grand marshal would turn from the mainstay of the Sui Dynasty to the mainstay of the Kingdom of Chen, the mainstay of the Kingdom of Chen, the King of Dingnan. The reason why Dongfanghong is so sure that this Yanglin is the other Yanglin is that one is age, two is family background, and third is style.

At this time, the'Dingnan King' was fifty or sixty years old, which was similar to Yang Lin's age during this period in Dongfanghong's previous history. Moreover, among the family members of the'Dingnan King' introduced in the information, Yang Guang's name was written impressively, and this old man was also uneasy in such a brand new history. Thirty-four years after the establishment of the'Chen Kingdom', Yang Guang led the troops to the chaos, and it was the'king of Dingnan' who personally put down his nephew. Besides, the work style of the King of Dingnan. Everyone knows that Yang Lin, the patron of the Sui Dynasty, likes to accept godsons. Even Qin Qiong was his godson and was known as the 13th Taibao. This'king of Dingnan' also likes this, and now he has thirteen godsons under his hand, who are also called the Thirteen Taibao.

It seems that regardless of whether history has changed, the heroes of each era are still indelible, and their acting style and temperament are also immutable. Just like Yuchigong, Qin Shubao, Pei Yuanqing and others who are familiar with Dongfanghong, they have always retained their respective personalities in Dongfanghong's previous history. Dongfanghong couldn't help but sigh the mystery of the good fortune of heaven and earth whenever he thought of this!

Since'Chen Guo' has a famous marshal on the battlefield like Yang Lin, why is it that every time he fights with'Qi Guo', he always loses? In fact, it's very simple, because "Chen Guo" basically never sent Yang Lin to lead soldiers to fight. It can be said that two-thirds of the country of "Chen Guo" was shot down by Yang Lin. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, "Chen Guo" gave Yang Lin the highest treatment and was named the only king of the opposite sex. But the same reason is because Yang Lin's contribution is too great, can the emperor take precautions against him? Yang Guang’s rebellion is not a good example. Although Yang Lin personally led the soldiers to destroy his nephew, the emperor has already become eager to kill him. It’s just that Yang Lin’s prestige in the army is too high, and most of the generals. Even Yang Lin pulled out with one hand. Like the Thirteenth Taibao, there were many leaders stationed on the front line. Once Yang Lin was killed by the emperor, it might cause a mutiny. Therefore, the'Dingnan King' has been in a state of leisure.

Although this star on the battlefield no longer leads troops, he has been paying attention to the situation in the world. "Turkic" took the initiative to join forces with "Chen Guo" this time, and Yang Lin had firmly opposed it. One is that the'Turkic' is a barbarian and untamed. It often slaughters my Chinese people.'Chen Guo' is no different from cooperating with a tiger for skin. It will be spurned by the people and lose people's hearts, which is not good for the dominance of the world. Secondly, the "Chen Guo" dispatching troops at this time does not necessarily benefit. Let's not say whether the "Qi State" will seek peace like we want, but the purpose of the "Turkic" operation this time. They are not trying to get together. The country's war is purely plundering grain and grass. Once the'Turkic' has enough grain and grass, it will immediately withdraw its troops. By then, if the'Chen Kingdom' has not suppressed the'Qi Kingdom', the situation may be dangerous! This kind of wedding dress with others is absolutely undesirable. It's just a pity that most of the'Chen Kingdom' monarchs and ministers only cared about their immediate interests and did not obey Yang Lin's words. As a result, they lost a handful of rice instead of stealing chickens, ruining hundreds of thousands of elite navy masters of'Chen Guo'.

Now that only four short months have passed, the'Qi State' has again suppressed its ambitions in the south. At this time,'Chen Guo' panicked, and some people even proposed to move the capital. At this time, Yang Lin stepped forward and asked to lead the troops to resist the enemy, and when no one was available, Yang Lin went into battle and returned to the battlefield.

When Dongfanghong saw this, he had already determined that this veteran was still young, and the possibility of him leading the army to victory would be greatly improved. However, even though the'Chen Kingdom' has Yang Lin, the'Lian Po', if the Emperor of Qi is a'Qin Shihuang', it would be more ill-tempered. The emperor of the'Qi Kingdom' will be the overlord of the'Qin Shihuang'. ? The answer from Dongfanghong's analysis is; no!

This is not that Zheng Yuan, the emperor of Qi Kingdom, has no lofty ambitions, nor that he has no strength in his hands, but that Zheng Yuan will be interfered by factors outside the battlefield. The different times also made the emperors think and worry differently. In the era of Qin Shihuang, the imperial power was the most stable, so he never worried that the generals who led the soldiers would betray him. But it's different now! There are many families in the family, and each has powerful rights. Can this not make any emperor be alarmed? The emperor of Qi State is no exception. Take Dongfang Lunming, who now leads the navy division of Nanying. China’s southern region is even more prestigious. Think about it once Dongfang Lunming defeats'Chen Guo' and goes all the way to the south, can the Emperor of Qi State not worry about him becoming the second'Chen Guo'? Coupled with the influence of the Dongfang family in the court, Dongfanghong's father in Yongzhou in the north is still serving as the general of the'Beiying'. Although the'Beiying' is now in name only, isn't Dongfang Lunde recruiting troops? At that time, once these forces rebelled, let alone the hopelessness of capturing the Jiangnan'Qi Kingdom', I am afraid that even half of the country would be dangerous.

Dongfanghong is based on the current internal and external situation of the Qi Kingdom, and this is how the emperor of Qi Kingdom will definitely make some wrong decisions at critical times. It was because of the emperor's distrust of Dongfang Lunming that Dongfanghong analyzed that the emperor of Qi State would replace it after Dongfang Lunming's victory, and he would never let Dongfang Lunming lead his troops south.

And why not send someone trusted by the emperor to lead the army from the beginning? One is that no one is more competent in water warfare than Dongfang Lunming, and only he can defeat the navy of'Chen Guo'. Second, as the main force of water warfare, the "Nanying", mostly soldiers who were born to death with Dongfang Lunming and fought countless battles. Others suddenly replaced them, fearing that the military will not accept it and cause chaos. Therefore, the emperor obviously wanted Dongfang Lunming to lead the elite of the'Nanying', and first eliminate the navy that the'Chen Kingdom' relied on the most. Once the navy of the'Chen Kingdom' is over, it is estimated that Zheng Yuan will use various excuses to let others continue to lead the army. Go south. As for Dongfang Lunming, it is estimated that the'Nanying', which is about to become his private army, will suffer heavy losses in this battle. At this time, Dongfang Lunming will be transferred to Beijing under the pretext of awards, and the emperor will send it again. The confidant reorganizes the'Nanying' so that everything will be under the control of the emperor!

According to Dongfanghong's analysis, only with this arrangement, the'Qi' Emperor Zheng Yuan would be at ease. Dongfanghong absolutely believes that since he can think of this, Yang Lin, the old marshal who has also experienced many battles, even thinks of it. Since Yang Lin can think of it, there will be arrangements. This is what Dongfanghong did to the'king of Dingnan' Yang Lin. Optimistic reasons. However, Dongfanghong also considered that the counsellor of'Yingtian Pavilion' would definitely think of this, but what would he do? I'm afraid this is the only uncertain factor!

When Yu Chigong asked why the'Dingnan King' and the'Qi Kingdom' emperor would decide the victory or defeat of this war, Dongfanghong told Yu Chigong these analyses. After hearing this, Yu Chigong pondered for a long time and said: "The analysis of the third son is indeed very reasonable, but the art of war is as follows: For the general, he must seek defeat before he wins. If once Dongfang Lunming is not replaced, what will happen? ?"

Dongfanghong smiled and said: "If it is true, it depends on how my cousin used his troops after the Jiujiang War! Once the Jiujiang War'Qi State' wins, there will be two lines of advancement. The first one is to take the lead. Victory won the city of Jiujiang, and attacked directly from the land to the capital of the'Chen State' Nanchang. It is indeed the quickest way to take troops from Jiujiang to capture Nanchang. However, although this route looks very good, there are risks. First; reinforcements stationed in various parts of the'Chen State' may arrive before Nanchang can be breached. Even if the southerners are not good at riding and shooting land warfare, there is still certainty. Second; don’t forget that the opponent’s coach is a veteran on the battlefield. How can someone like this not leave room for himself? And from my point of view, Yang Lin will definitely have an ambush soldier to use until the most critical time. So my cousin who knows Chen Guo very deeply, he will never take this risk.

Since he would not take this risk, he would only choose the second way. The second way is to go down the river and use the navy forces that are now stronger than the opponent to clear all the lines of defense of the "Chen State" along the river. In this way, the "Chen State" will completely lose the defense of the Yangtze River's natural dangers, "Qi State" 'The army will attack whenever it wants, and attack from wherever it wants. The disadvantage of this is that the time is slow. Perhaps this war cannot solve the'Chen Guo' in one fell swoop. Once the'Chen Guo' sees that he does not have the protection of the Yangtze River's natural dangers, he will inevitably move to the south. In this way, the eradication of the Kingdom of Qi by the Kingdom of Chen will be postponed, and future operations against the Kingdom of Chen will become the occupation of a piece of land. Although the Kingdom of Chen will eventually perish, the time will not be easy to say. In the event that problems occur in the domestic or peripheral forces of the Qi State before the demise of the Chen Kingdom, the Qi State's ambition to dominate the world will not be overwhelmed. Therefore, Dongfang Lunming will use this safe method, but it is not certain whether the imperial court can wait in a hurry! "

Xu Maogong added: "If it is the first route, the other party must take the'Chai Sang', which is the main route to Nanchang. Yang Lin will definitely place heavy troops there to hold on, so once this is the case, our mercenary group Will send troops to help Yang Lin defend the city, and if it really wants to be like this, the "Qi Kingdom" will be defeated. If it is the second route, then we have to use the commander's method to block along the river, so that although we can definitely defeat the opponent with our weapons , But the pattern of Qi defeating Chen and weak still exists, and even the gap between the two countries will be even worse. Once the "Qi Kingdom" goes south again, I am afraid that even we will be powerless. This is the last thing we want to see."

Listening to Dongfanghong's analysis and explanation, Yu Chigong couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This change of generals is a big taboo of the military. Will the court do that? In the unlikely event that the "Qi Kingdom" is really ready to fight a protracted war and choose to go along the river to clear the Yangtze River defense, it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future!

There are also others who are also worried, that is, Yang Lin, the King of Dingnan, who is standing on the battleship and looking at the navy of Qi State, and watching the thousands of warships on the opposite side show his murderous vigor, Yang Lin feels a little sad. , He knew in his heart that the two hundred thousand men with passion behind him would be completely sacrificed for the country.

To put it bluntly, this batch of naval divisions urgently transferred from various places are actually the "Chen Guo" miscellaneous troops, and the true elite troops only had 50,000 people left in the last war, and they have now been replaced by Yang Lin and concealed. This will be an important force for his future comeback. The two hundred thousand navy divisions in front of them are used by Yang Lin as cannon fodder to confuse the enemy. That is to say, once the war starts, all two hundred thousand soldiers will be killed by the enemy. Seeing that so many fresh lives will be in his own hands. Even if Yang Lin had a hard-hearted heart, he couldn't bear it. But this battle must be fought, regardless of the reason. Defending the home and defending the country is something that every soldier and even the common people will do. So these two hundred thousand soldiers knowing that they are losing to their opponents, they have taken up weapons and sprinkled their heads without hesitation.

Yang Lin prayed silently in his heart, praying for the athletes who are about to blood-stain the Yangtze River, and at the same time swears: I, Yang Lin, will avenge you. Any enemy who tramples on our country and kills my soldiers, I Yang Lin will make him come back again. !
