240 fear
Li Chongshan has read Lin Jianyue’s seven-character poem titled Zhong Shan several times, and has to admit that he feels a little afraid.
He actually became a bandit? Li Chongshan, who believed that he was talented and wise, was angry. He wanted Batusu to immediately reorganize his army to attack the Central Plains and disrupt Lin Jianyue's pace, but was unanimously opposed by the government and the public.
There were two things that Li Chongshan did not forcefully advance the decision to attack the Central Plains. First, Batusu said that the main force of Dameng has not achieved decent results when facing Lin Jianyue's troops, and his morale is relatively low. He needs to use several small battles to boost confidence. Second, the Eagle Hunter has heard accurate news. At the junction of Liaodong and Goryeo, a large number of Han troops under the banner of Ning Chao appeared, and were attacked from both sides and needed to be eliminated first.
Hedong, Liaodong and the Yellow River front are attacked from three sides. Can we really have to retreat to the grassland?
Now it is no longer a question of whether to accept it or not. From Lin Jianyue's seven-character poem, he has great ambitions. Even if he returns to the grassland, he probably still has to fight. Since he wants to fight, it is better to fight in the Han area. He has an advantage in fighting on the grassland, but the damage is also serious. How can his status as a co-knelt on the grassland be preserved?
Master Qin suggested that it would be a good idea to find a way to provoke an internal struggle between Lin Jianyue and Lin Jian'an and restrain Lin Jianyue's power, but it is also very difficult. They are two brothers. Although even brothers will not be lenient in fighting for dominance in the world, it will be difficult to work in the short term. Now they are mainly dealing with themselves. Last time they sent someone to Shu, none of them came back, which shows that.
Will Lin Jianyue give himself this time? Li Chongshan was not sure that the military power of the Central Plains could not do anything to him now, but as his poem said, when Jiangnan stabilized, millions of Jiangnan troops and massive amounts of money, grain and materials entered the Central Plains. Li Chongshan knew that he could not consume Lin Jianyue, so he proposed to attack the Central Plains first.
He had to make some moves and could not sit still and wait for death. After thinking about it, Li Chongshan called Batusu to ask about his strategy.
"Marshal Ba, Lin Jianyue gathered heavily on the front line of the Yellow River, and was mainly defense. He was unable to do anything to them when he was huddled in the turtle shell. However, Hedong is the prominent part of Lin Jianyue's power, and the threat of Hetao in the west is threatened by the Hetao in the middle of the west, but the mountains are blocked, and the Yellow River is not easy to fight under their control. Can we break through the Taihang Mountain Pass from the east to recover Hedong? Now the Hebei army has been repairing for a long time and has sufficient food and grass. If there is difficulty in taking over the entire Hedong, the entire situation will be much better."
Batusu obviously also analyzed the current situation and immediately replied: "The Eight Passes of Taihang, the south of the Zhuguan Pass, Taihang Pass is under the control of Lin Jianyue, the north of Puyin Pass, Feihu Pass, and Jundu Pass are under the control of Dameng. They are not the main channels for Hebei to enter Hedong. Currently, the main confrontations are Baixing, Fukou Pass and Jingxing. Among them, Jingxing is the most important. As long as you take down Jingxing Road, you can easily get the Taiyuan in Jinzhong. But Your Majesty knows Liu Jingye's ability. He has long deployed heavy troops in Jingxing Gu Pass. The other two passes are more dangerous and less easy to capture. Our main forces are cavalry and infantry... Your Majesty, to be honest, we are indeed not Lin Jianyue's opponents."
Li Chongshan said with dissatisfaction: "Then just watch it like this? Once Lin Jianyue has packed up Jiangnan, Hebei and Guanzhong alone cannot stop Lin Jianyue's full-scale attack, so he can only retreat to the grassland and wait for death."
Li Chongshan was very serious, and Batu Su Khan was flowing down. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, although Hedong has a geographical advantage, they still have a great opportunity. With the total strength of Dadu, Hebei and Dadu have nearly one million troops, Xiaochen plans to attack three routes first and mobilize Hedong to run for exhaustion. Yunzhou army went south to threaten the place that must be defended by Yanmen Pass, and allocate 100,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to attack Baixing, and 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to attack Baikouxing. The three routes are places that must be defended by Hedong. When the battle is intensified, Xiaochen personally leads elite troops and sneaks into Jingxing. Lin Jianyue is in Jiangnan, Liu Jingye is in Luoyang, and Liu He is a mediocre general and will surely make contributions."
Li Chongshan then turned anger into joy, but Batusu was worried. Hebei moved. If the Central Plains attacked with all their strength, the outcome was unknown. However, Your Majesty was right. If you don’t fight now, there will be no chance in the future.
It was not only Li Chongshan, Batusu, and others who were afraid in their hearts, but Zhou Qun and others who worked so well in Shu were just as scared.
Shu is indeed rich, and the strength of the Qin Prince's Mansion is rapidly expanding. Zhou Qun and his team have not lived such a comfortable life for a long time.
But no matter how rich Shu is, it is just a corner. Not to mention the Central Plains, even Jiangnan is far superior to Shuzhong. What's even more hateful is that Qi Yunji, the white-eyed wolf, actually joined forces with Zhong Zhenhua and Huang Yao to establish himself on Kuizhou Road. Not to mention, those three people are the clowns, but they actually cut off the trade between Shuzhong and Jiangnan Central Plains. Isn't this obviously turning towards Lin Jianyue? It is still unknown whether Shuzhong can maintain such a wealth in the future.
Although the Qin King's Mansion has dangers, it restricts the enemy and itself. If there is more defense and insufficient offense, the final result will never be very good.
There is another reason why Zhou Qun dared not say that the Qin Prince's Mansion did not achieve any decisive victory when facing Menghu. Regardless of reputation and the hearts of the people, there were more people who were interested in Lin Jianyue, including Shuzhong, which had been controlled.
Zhou Qun sighed in his heart, Jiangnan is full of talents, why did he easily turn to Lin Jianyue? Zhou Qun actually never saw Lin Jianyue. Most of them were reposted by others and had no intuitive impression. However, since he took power, he felt that Lin Jianyue was his lifelong enemy.
In the past, Zhou Qun didn't look down on Lin Jianyue very much, but he thought he was lucky. He first found a good woman and met a fool like Tie Qingfeng, so that he could rise so quickly. However, after Lin Jianyue became the King of Yan, Zhou Qun looked at him with admiration. The glory of several battles in the future made him feel uncomfortable. Such a person is very terrifying, courageous, strategy, and deep scheming. Therefore, Zhou Qun led people to do a lot of small moves, but unfortunately they all failed.
Zhou Qun suppressed his uneasiness. In the past, when the Han Mansion was so weak, it was still growing. Now that with Shu, Zizhou Road is about to be fully acquired, the territory has expanded several times, and the army has doubled, and there will only be more opportunities.
However, you can't just wait like this. You still have to take the initiative to attack in advance. At least you must obtain a bridgehead that can attack the south of the Central Plains at any time. Zhou Qun decided to go to His Highness Qin immediately to discuss how to stop next.
When Zhou Qun thought of King Qin, he felt a little scared. King Qin's current majesty and momentum became increasingly imposing. His so-called brotherly relationship with Lin Jianyue has always been a big joke in everyone's mind. If you just say this, it would probably be impossible to get it. You have to think of a good idea.
Originally, General Cao Baojin was a good object of discussion, and he had a good relationship with His Highness the King of Qin. However, when Cao Baojin came back to report his duties a few days ago, the King of Qin did not blame him in public because he lost the Dasan Pass. It was just that he was not as enthusiastic as before. However, looking at Cao Baojin's trembling appearance, he probably didn't dare to say anything.
