Can you live forever

Chapter 397 Strategy in Liaodong, meeting on a narrow road

Gao Gong was from Xinzheng, Henan.

At the age of 17, he won the leader in the provincial examination, but failed in two consecutive general examinations. It coincided with the 13th year of Jiajing's Liting sweep, so he gave up his pen and joined the army, and then stayed in Liaodong as Yu Dayou's staff.

It can be said that Yu Dayou, as the commander of Liaodong, relied heavily on Gao Gong.

Gao Gong said that Jianzhou had more than [-] rebels from Xuanda, supported by Jiangnan, and the pressure on Liaodong was unprecedented. Yu Dayou naturally understood this.

Otherwise, in the Tumenjiang area, it would be difficult to raise the remnants of Jianzhou.

Since the 13th year of Jiajing's Liting sweep, there are only 5 young and strong left in Jianzhou, and the total population is only [-], but it is difficult for even this small number of people to survive in the Tumen River Basin.

It all depends on the supplies from Jiangnan.

In fact, there is not much difference between Jiangnan raising 5 people or 25 people. Armed as much as possible and eyeing Liaodong are what Nanjing wants.

After all, with Liaodong lost, only Shanhaiguan remained in the capital.

but……

Still the same sentence, even if he has run Liaodong for nine years, he still cannot fully control Liaodong. The Liaodong Metropolitan Command has 12 troops, but the entire Liaodong has a population of 300 million.

Impossible to put an end to ghosts.

Therefore, there is no way to take more than [-] prisoners.

As for Xuanda's rebel army, most of the low-level soldiers don't know about it?Should it be rescued?Yu Dayou didn't think about these things. Being a soldier and fighting is a job of hard work. You have surrendered, so what's the point?

thus.

Yu Dayou would rather let Jianzhou get more than [-] rebels, and then fight from the frontal battlefield, rather than rescue and snipe, snatch the captives back, and start a civil strife.

Of course, he wouldn't just sit back and watch Jianzhou completely digest the rebels.

"As for whether the rebels can be rescued, we must first divide them. We can't do this division, so we have to let Jianzhou do it."

"Those who intend to surrender to the enemy, under the leadership of the general, will directly transform into soldiers of the state, and those who are not willing to surrender will not surrender in a short period of time, and will be driven as slaves."

"Jianzhou also needs a group of slaves to liberate his own young adults."

"Now Jianzhou has a population of only over [-], and the total number of young and strong people is only over [-]. Wang Gao will definitely not allow a limited number of people to go into production. If the whole people are soldiers, they must have slaves."

"In the past few months, Nanjing has helped transport many slaves from Nanyang, Fusang, and North Korea. There are also 3 to [-] slaves."

"But still not enough."

"They need more efforts, especially the slaves of Ming Dynasty, to complete the building of confidence."

"So, those who don't know, those who are loyal to Ming Dynasty, and those who are far from the rebel generals will be treated as slaves instead of confronting us on the battlefield."

"Wang Gao will let them join the army only if they have been smoothed out and completely enslaved."

"We can't just sit back and watch Wang Gao digest these people."

Yu Dayou has been in charge of one side for many years, and he already has the demeanor of a coach. He has extremely unique insights into the battlefield, and he understands what the goal of a war is and what needs to be solved.

Seeing that Yu Dayou had made up his mind, Gao Gong said, "If Jianzhou gets the rebels, at least [-] to [-] soldiers will transform into Jianzhou barbarians."

"Since Xia Yan is going to let the Xuanda rebels vote in defeat."

"Then Nanjing must have already made pre-war preparations. The military resources are ready, and perhaps they will go west immediately."

"Please also Yu Shuai to deal with it."

Gao Gong, as a staff member, in addition to making suggestions, also assumed the responsibility of Liaodong's economic strategy. On behalf of Yu Dayou, he intervened in Liaodong's economic and strategic transshipment to ensure military supplies.

He has a higher overall vision, and he understands the operating logic behind Xuan Da's rebellion.

Therefore, it is judged that after Wang Gao got the rebels, he would immediately move westward, not to mention attacking Liaodong, at least take back the original territory of Jianzhou, and advance to the Hun River Basin, in order to be caught off guard.

Yu Dayou did not answer.

He stared at the fire in a daze. After a while, he took out a branch, drew a simple map on the ground with carbon ash, pointed to North Korea and said: "If Jianzhou invades the Hun River Basin, from Hun River to Tumen On the front line of the river, their backs are all in front of North Korea."

"Even if Nanjing can provide guarantees, North Korea will not build a state."

"But can this guarantee be 100%?"

"It's not that the imperial court doesn't have sea power. We are close to North Korea. The Li Dynasty knows that the capital has the greatest influence on him, or that Nanjing has the greatest influence on him, so we can attack Jianzhou's back through North Korea."

"In any case, Jianzhou can't take this risk to stretch the line of defense."

"What's more, they got at least [-] new soldiers and horses."

"It's still fully armed..."

Yu Dayou's words made the yard quiet. Everyone is a member of the Ming army. They know that Xuanda, as the most important town in the world, has always been the strongest combat force of the frontier army. After surrendering to the enemy, the biggest worry is whether the logistics can keep up. But now Nanjing is in charge Logistics, so far so good.

So……

It is enough to destroy North Korea.

Gao Gong said in a concentrated voice: "It is false to attack Liaodong from the west, and it is true to attack North Korea from the south!"

"If North Korea can be swallowed, the power of Jianzhou will be different."

"And with North Korea providing material resources, instead of relying entirely on shipping, Nanjing's fault tolerance rate has also been greatly improved."

"and."

"Jianzhou only has a population of 5, which is a flaw in its development, while North Korea has a population of 800 million. As long as it is tamed properly, there will be as many servants as there are."

"Only in this way can we really fight the national war!"

Yu Dayou nodded and said, "I was afraid of cooperating with the outside world in Liaodong. How could North Korea not be afraid? The East China Sea is dominated by Nanjing, and we can't stop their fleet from transporting troops."

"Jianzhou's attack on North Korea can be multifaceted."

"And flash in quickly."

"At most ten days and half a month, the country can be destroyed."

Yu Dayou had no doubt that Nanjing would sell North Korea, they even sold themselves, what happened to the vassal state.That is to say, there is nothing to sell nearby, otherwise they would not hesitate to sell more.

Constantly tearing open the wound and letting the imperial court fight on two fronts is what Nanjing wants.

Gao Gong was very angry, and even more frightened, saying: "Destroy North Korea, attack the barbarian Jurchens, Jianzhou can include Nurgan Dusi and then contact Mongolia. In this way, there is really a tendency to go south and enter the customs."

"Fortunately, the national teacher and His Majesty have solved the Mongolian problem."

"The First Emperor even tamed the border countries."

"The army has been garrisoned to assist in the defense. Even if the first emperor has left, those small countries dare not make mistakes. Even if someone provokes them, I will answer that Khan will not fall into the trap."

"Being able to stabilize Mongolia is our biggest strategic initiative for Jianzhou."

Gao Gong was thinking about the direction of Jianzhou's rise, but the other generals couldn't sit still anymore. Knowing that Jianzhou wanted to take North Korea, they were determined not to let them go, so he remonstrated: "It's not too late. Before Jianzhou succeeds, we will We must dispatch troops as soon as possible!"

"Yu Shuai, the last general invites you to fight."

"The end will fight!"

All the generals asked to fight one after another, but Yu Dayou stretched out his hand, stopped him, looked at everyone and said, "Even if there are more than [-] rebels, Jianzhou will have to spend a lot of effort to digest them. How can Jianzhou digest the entire North Korea? "

"It doesn't matter whether the rebels join or Nanjing supports it."

"The core of Jianzhou is the [-] Jianzhou Jurchens. Exterminating these people is the real way to solve the problem."

"in this way."

"Nanjing not only lost the name and banner of the foreign race, but also lost an agent like Wang Gao who is capable of implementing strategic goals."

"us……"

"North Korea needs support, but it's not the key. I want to lead a cavalry, learn from the Mongols' mediation, go around the Tumen River Basin, break through Hetuala, and slaughter the remnants of Jianzhou."

"That's it."

"There are more than ten thousand Jianzhou young and strong. After that, one person will be beaten, and one person will be missed."

"Without a basic board, how can Wang Gao lead the other Han armies?"

"Jianzhou wants to take North Korea, yes, but he will never return."

The murderous intent in Yu Dayou's plain words has already risen, it is for Jianzhou, but also for Nanjing. Those people will not hesitate at all costs, they would rather let the enemy invaders grow stronger, and even endanger the Central Plains, but also deal with the imperial court.

First sent more than [-] rebels, and then sent to North Korea.

It's completely shameless.

As for Yu Dayou's strategy, Gao Gong saw the beauty, let Jianzhou wander outside the customs, Jianzhou can expand east to north, and finally find a breakthrough from Mongolia to the west.

But if the back road of Jianzhou is cut off, Jianzhou will be locked on the peninsula.

The opponent has no room for strategic maneuvering at all.

No matter how much Nanjing supports, no matter how brave Xuanda's rebels are, they have lost their momentum to contend for supremacy, and can only endure Liaodong's blockade and beating dogs.

……

After Wang Gao killed Xia Xing and established his reputation with a "big victory", he quickly received the generals, and after overturning the control and win over, he promised a lot of profits. Different from the lowly status of generals in Ming Dynasty, Wang Gao promised them a lot of profits , if there is a day to seize the world, they will definitely be entrusted with the feudal vassal!
Seal the king!

What a temptation this is. Even if it is as loose as the Mongol Empire, it was just acquiescing the existence of princes with military and civilian households. Different surnames were named kings and vassals. , the world strikes together."

As for Wang Gao's words don't count?
These military generals are powerful and have soldiers in their hands. If they really say nothing, can't they take it by themselves?
These generals who will join Xia Yan's rebellion are originally ambitious people.

At this moment, I just felt that I had found a stage where I could give full play, and immediately recruited the old troops, "knowing them with emotion and motivating them with reason", and the two armies joined forces for an "expedition", with a total of 15 troops.

Plus [-] people in charge of logistics.

In Jianzhou's great victory, it was the civilians who suffered the most. The army lost more than 22 in the battle. The final total number of prisoners was actually 14. Let's not talk about the [-] civilians. Among the remaining [-] rebels, the generals persuaded , Restored the command structure, and quickly pulled up an army of [-].

It was [-] more than Yu Dayou and the others expected.

No way.

There are many military households serving as soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are not military households, many of them joined the army from generation to generation. Back then, there was a mutiny in the civil fortress, in order to bind the soldiers who had launched the mutiny to the ship.

Therefore, their descendants basically all joined the army in Xuanda.

This continued for a hundred years.

There are [-] to [-] in the army, all of whom are descendants of those people. Due to historical reasons, these people are the diehard generals of General Xuan. No matter how many generals have been changed, as long as those generals want to make money, they must be used.

With such a group of loyalists as the foundation, it is not difficult to pull up an army of [-].

After all, most people just follow the crowd.

When I came to this bitter cold place, I was told that every day should not be done, and that the land and the earth were not working. My own master still defected on purpose, and he didn't even lead the rebellion. If he didn't join the army, would he be a slave?

As for turning around and killing one of my own people...

Dead friends don't die poor people.

It took only one day for the rebels to organize their troops. The two soldiers of Xuanda were led by Zhao Qing, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Que Yong, the chief soldier of Datong respectively.

The two immediately asked Wang Gao for instructions, suggesting a feigned attack on Liaodong and an actual attack on North Korea.

This is indeed the best strategy, and Wang Gao agrees with it all. In other words, before the arrival of the rebels, they have already planned and discussed how to fight.

After all, there are only a few development directions for Jianzhou.

However, after Wang Gao agreed, he felt that something was wrong. He felt a little uneasy, so he did a divination.

After divination, Wang Gao ignored the persuasion of the two chief soldiers and searched for the existence of the crisis on his own.

Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he looked at the map, and after a long time, grinned grinningly, and said: "The strategy remains the same, pretending to attack Liaodong, and actually attacking North Korea, but my Jianzhou headquarters will not move, and I will rely on two more generals."

So suddenly the two Zhao Qinghe felt unhappy.

If you want to preserve your strength, Wang Gao, you can do it in private. Isn't it too embarrassing for you to say so?

"The two generals are worrying too much. I let the Jianzhou headquarters stand still. I want to fight the toughest battle. If my guess is correct, Yu Dayou will personally lead a surprise army to destroy Hetuala and slaughter me in Jianzhou. Headquarters."

"Then things were encircled and we were trapped on the peninsula."

"In order to prevent Yu Dayou from achieving his goal, and to avenge the bloody revenge that Li Ting swept the acupoints back then."

"I want to fight Yu Dayou to the death."

Surprise soldiers around?

Zhao Qing and Que Yong thought about it, and they also sensed the danger. Regardless of whether Yu Dayou did this or not, it was always right to be on guard. They didn't care whether Wang Gao had a basic board or not, what they were considering was strategic issues.

Once Hetuala was smashed, they were blocked on the peninsula.

It's hard to get out.

In any case, they had already boarded the thief ship, and they didn't want Wang Gao to be defeated, so they asked: "This battle is dangerous, and the commander's headquarters alone may not be enough to deal with it. I am willing to select Xuan Da's elite to help the commander .”

Zhao Qing and Que Yong wanted to help each other, but Wang Gao refused.

Yu Dayou's cavalry must be small in number, at most 5000, and I have Hetuala to defend, twice as many as him in field battles, so I must avenge my father's blood.

Zhao Qing is still waiting to persuade: "But Yu Dayou's command of troops is not ordinary. Not to mention the record of sweeping holes in Liting and guarding the border for nine years. Back then, he went to Beijing with Zhang Zhixiang and brought a cavalry composed of righteous men from the rivers and lakes. Three thousand breaks twenty thousand, absolutely not to be underestimated."

"His cavalry came from afar, and I hope the commander-in-chief will not fight him in the field."

"The city of Hetuala is not high, but Yu Dayou has no logistics, and the cavalry can't attack the city at all. I hope the commander understands that a small amount of patience can lead to chaos."

Wang Gao gave him a cold look. Although he accepted the proposal, his attitude was not good, and he just said, "Ah, I see."
