Chapter 753 It’s only the Spring and Autumn Period
Mr. Taiyuan, who knew how to put the overall situation first, naturally could not just make sarcastic remarks, so his attitude became serious next.
"The difficulties in Sichuan today are not necessarily that the situation is extremely difficult. They are just taking risks because of the small strength. If you want to relieve the difficulties, you only need to increase your strength. The only concern is where the strength will come from."
After pondering for a while, Li Tai said: "Now there are two strategies to choose from. If your Majesty stops at occupying land, it will be easier for you to send more troops to Shu, go straight to the mighty road, and wipe out the unconquered ministers. Sichuan is all red, and it is not enough."
To cherish..."
When Changsun Jian and Tang Jin heard this, their expressions turned cold. They shook their heads and said: "Everyone in the world has a law of justice. Nowadays, in the country, the troops of the Jia Brigade should be cautious in their use of sincerity. The enemy of the East Thieves is becoming more and more arrogant."
The river defense is so important that it cannot be taken lightly for a moment. In the four fortresses of Bashu and Sichuan, even if strong troops are used to control it, it is difficult to get in and out, so in the end, it is necessary to make a decision. When you ask the country's soldiers, you must have a good plan!"
Li Tai couldn't help but feel happy when he heard these words. Whether these two people were just talking politely or not, it also showed that he was no longer an ordinary person in the Western Wei Dynasty, and the solutions he proposed when encountering problems were also different.
You shouldn't just follow the crowd, but you should put forward your own unique insights.
But just a few beautiful words were not enough to make him reveal his true identity, so he laughed and said: "Since it is not just about occupying the land of Shu, but also the whole land of people, and there is no strong army to do it,
It is a matter of course to establish and use Shuzhong. It can alleviate the worries of the people of Shu, make them happy, have no resentment, and be happy with the king's rule..."
Tang Jin didn't have much contact with Li Tai, and his understanding was not deep enough. He just felt that listening to Li Tai was just nonsense. He turned around and glanced at Changsun Jian. Seeing that he only frowned and remained silent, he couldn't help but said: "Preface by Duke Taiyuan"
Face the problem squarely and discuss the matter seriously. I deeply feel that what I said is true, so I listen attentively. But what I have heard so far are mostly statements and lack of new tunes. If I stop here and return to the topic, I am afraid I will be disappointed!"
Li Tai mentioned two strategies. The first was to continue to send more troops to Shu regardless of the cost to increase the power of the Western Wei Dynasty in Shu, thereby suppressing all opposing forces.
This method cannot be said to be wrong. After all, even the stupid young men in the Chinese and Foreign Affairs Office know that increasing the number of troops to attack is the best strategy. The so-called emperor does this only when his troops are strong and his horses are strong. There is simply no room in their minds for a process that can lead to strong soldiers and horses.
However, as a former subordinate of Ba Mansion and a powerful Fang Bo who is now in charge of the southeast, if Li Tai just came up with such a strategy to talk about things, it would be basically like farting.
As for the second item, it is to quell the resentment of the Shu people against the Western Wei Dynasty and strive to absorb and utilize the available power in Bashu. This is even more correct but useless nonsense.
This was because Yuchi Jiong, the general who conquered Shu, initially pursued such a strategy. It was precisely because it was unworkable that the massacre in Chengdu took place, which aroused the anger of the Shu people.
Hearing Tang Jin's words, Li Tai smiled instead of being angry. He then looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Then according to what Tang Shangshu saw, what new words should I write to offer? I have more than one suggestion for the plan to conquer Shu.
12. The minister may have heard of it, or he may not have heard of it. But what Duke An of Wei is doing now is really not something I need to do.
Nowadays, the people of Shu are rebelling against us. Is it possible that the people who gave me advice were not careful enough? One person’s plan is short-lived and a hundred people can’t make up for his mistake. The Minister of the Tang Dynasty can tell, why am I here to see you two today? The atrocities of the expedition against Shu made the southerners look at them with anger.
The resentment is not limited to Bashu, many people in Jiangling are frightened and stay away from me!"
Speaking of this, the smile on Li Tai's face gradually faded. He pointed at the finished or semi-finished boats parked in the lake and said in a deep voice: "The people from the north are better at riding, and the people from the south are better at boats. The former is due to the chaos in the southern country, so I am strong."
The army was able to occupy the crossings at Hankou, so that the country could fully support the land of Han Miang.
Although the Jiangling monarchs and ministers bribed me by ceding territory, they were actually not very angry. When they first took over the territory, they provoked me with their naval commanders, and the only thing they took advantage of was the lack of strength of my naval commanders. The public was sitting in the pass, unaware of the dangers in the frontier, and they did not know that the soldiers on the border were waiting for danger.
Dare to sleep deeply!
Today, Duke An of Wei has committed evil in Shu, which has frightened the lower reaches of the river, especially Jiangling. The scholars and people are paying attention. From now on, there will be many provocations on the river bank, making it impossible for me to sleep peacefully. Therefore, I have built ships in a hurry to prepare for any danger. You ask me this question
, I don’t even know whether there will be a war between the north and the south tomorrow, so how can I measure the safety of Shu!"
When Tang Jin heard Li Tai's anger, Tang Jin fell silent for a moment. For people like them, the situation in the southeast has been defeated by General Li. The difference is only a small victory or a big victory. As for the reason,
They don't know how to win, and they don't even know what kind of dangers the situation in the southeast faces.
Nowadays, the predicament in Shuzhong alone has made the Chinese and foreign governments extremely worried. The old problems have not been solved, and they dare not listen to the new difficulties.
Changsun Jian has had a lot of dealings with Li Tai, so he would not dare to continue discussing the issue because Li Tai suddenly talked about Jingzhou's border defense difficulties, and he also grasped the meaning of Li Tai's words in his complaints.
The key point is the dissatisfaction with Yuchi Jiong.
After all, according to Li Tai's logic, if Yuchi Jiong hadn't massacred the people in Shu, the Guanxi area between Jingzhou and Jiangling would not have become so bad that the Jingzhou General Administration had to repair boats diligently to make up for the shortcomings.
Board. Just looking at the scale of the Danjiangkou boat base, we can also see the great pressure from the border defense of the Jingzhou General Administration.
"The Duke of Taiyuan has expanded his borders and served far away, and he is powerful in the southeast. This matter is known both inside and outside, and everyone admires it. Therefore, now that we are encountering a difficult situation in the national and military affairs, the Lord has sent us to the south to inquire. Although the matter is dangerous and difficult to solve, the Duke of Taiyuan is wise and brave.
He has both, and he also has a lot of foresight on the situation in Bashu. Now I come to ask for advice, hoping to have both!"
Changsun Jian looked at Li Tai again and said with a sincere face. Ever since he saw the business conditions of the states in northern Shaanxi, he had admired Li Tai's ability in border crossing. Now every time he enters Jing Town, he sees something new.
Although he didn't want to say it clearly, he admired Li Tai's talents even more.
Hearing what Changsun Jian said, Li Tai also put on a sincere expression and said seriously: "Changsun Changshi is really exaggerating. How can I, an old official in my house, not know what the situation in the country is like? Yue Yin
If this is the case, the anger will become more and more difficult to calm down. In the past, those who passed through the border were afraid of being aggressive in politics, and had the spirit of being unconventional.
To this day, Jingzhou still remembers the story of the long history of broadcasting Deyi here in the past, but who has no danger in his heart? The only concern is that the country is in dire straits, so he does not dare to take risks! Who does not have the courage of an ordinary man? Now Wei Angong relies on his own courage.
, torturing Shu, to the point of exterminating the masses and making everyone an enemy, how can we, the counselors, be guilty?
Nowadays, there is also a border siege in Jingzhen, but as long as national affairs require it, who dares to refuse his life if he surrenders? It may be difficult to win, but it is easy to sacrifice his life. I, the son of Jingzhen, can go to Sichuan, but when I think of my sincerity, my flesh and blood are in the hands of Wei Angong.
It's better not to use it if it's in the hands of people with great ambition and talent who don't care about the country's difficulties and dangers.
If you don't dare to express this statement to the Lord, I can also speak out! But if you can help the country's economy, why should you be afraid of honor and disgrace? If you don't see the right and wrong in front of you, you will know that I have sinned, and it is only the Spring and Autumn Period!"
