Chapter 386: Seeking Commander Teng Wu, Shen Tang's Order
Chapter 386: Advise Teng Wu, Shen Tang gives orders
When Teng Wu heard the words, he couldn't help but hesitate. Because Cheng Yuhu's words were actually the consensus of many people, but his thoughts were different from Cheng Yuhu's.
"Teng Wu, tell me what you think." Seeing Teng Wu's hesitation, Shen Tang became even more interested.
Teng Wu looked at Cheng Yuhu, only to see Cheng Yuhu chuckle and say, "You kid, just talk to the adults about anything you want. You also know that my brain is not as flexible as yours. We won't be able to win all these big battles." Is it up to you to arrange the arrangements? What I prefer is to charge into battle, and my ideas are naturally simpler."
After hearing Cheng Yuhu's words, Teng Wu nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "Sir, the battle in Sizhou of the Jin Kingdom and the success of the peace talks this time, actually, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are already in a delicate situation."
"The concessions in this peace negotiation are not actually due to the Jin State's fear of us. On the contrary, in the eyes of the Jin State, we, the Song Dynasty, may not be considered their enemies. In fact, this is also the case. Our current strength and the Jin State's Prime Minister The comparison is far different. Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin temporarily put aside our weakest opponent and turned to deal with those stronger enemies and internal chaos."
"However, this does not mean that the Jin Kingdom will continue to make endless concessions to our Song Dynasty. If there is a certain loss, the Jin Kingdom will go to war directly. However, the result may be that the Jin Kingdom will end up with a tragic defeat. The price must be paid in exchange for victory. However, at that time, the outcome of our Song Dynasty will not be too good. Moreover, I think that the existence of the Jin Kingdom is actually of great benefit to our Song Dynasty."
"Xixia, Xiliao, and the Mongolian tribe will all set their sights on the Jin Kingdom. In some ways, the Jin Kingdom is almost our shield. After we came to Xijing Road, I asked people to investigate the various Mongolian tribes. Some news. It is no exaggeration to say that their combat power is not inferior to that of the Jin Kingdom. However, they are in internal fighting and there is no powerful Mongolia. Therefore, in the next long period of time, Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom are both the main opponents."
"We, the Song Dynasty, have successfully negotiated peace with the Jin Kingdom. The timing is just right! Although Jiangnan seems to be stable, some small countries around us are not stable. Just like the current Tubo tribe, they are attacking Lizhou West Road and Chengdu Prefecture. Looting is carried out almost all the time. The Dali Kingdom also suppresses various tribes on the border from time to time. Even the little Yue Li dares to plunder Yongzhou by taking advantage of the geographical advantage!"
"Dali and Yue Li are not as strong as our Song Dynasty, but they are like gadflies, constantly eating away at the blood of our Song Dynasty! If our Song Dynasty wants to be strong, we must first eliminate all these border troubles, and then rectify our military supplies. , and finally it’s time to fight against the Kingdom of Jin.”
Under Zan Shen Tang's admiring gaze, Teng Wu became more enthusiastic as he spoke, "Master, I even think that in the current situation where countries are confronting each other, even if our strength reaches a certain level, destroying the Kingdom of Jin is not the best choice. .The best is to find another way to indirectly rule or suppress it. Just like me in the early Song Dynasty, Taizu actually did not destroy the Northern Han Dynasty. First, he was concerned about the strength of the Liao Kingdom at that time. Second, In fact, the Northern Han Dynasty was used as a barrier, so that a buffer zone with the Liao Dynasty could be formed."
"Including the Jingkang Incident, why did it happen? It was just two emperors..." At this point, Teng Wu suddenly stopped talking. The following discussion, especially talking about the emperor, is definitely a serious crime.
Teng Wu did not say any more, but Shen Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are right. There was indeed a problem with the choice of the Song Dynasty back then. The hatred against the Liao Kingdom should naturally be retaliated. However, Driving away tigers and devouring wolves only to be backlashed, such a thing should not be done. If we had led the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, not only would we have been able to gain great benefits from the Liao Kingdom, but maybe... the Jingkang Incident would have There won’t be any more…”
Teng Wu's eyes lit up. Some people might be able to see these things clearly, but no one would dare to say them out. And his son, who could see it, dared to say it out. He was indeed the follower he and others chose. .
"Teng Wu, you are right. There will definitely be a life-and-death battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom in the future. After all, the Jin Kingdom will not just watch our rise. However, this war should not take place now."
"Young Master is wise!" Teng Wu said with a smile.
Shen Tang patted Cheng Yuhu on the shoulder, "Brother Yuhu, don't you have anything to refute?"
Cheng Yuhu shook his head directly, "If others say this, I will naturally refute it. However, you are our master and Teng Wu is my brother. What you said is naturally right. Since I can't understand, why bother? .As long as you give the order, I, Cheng Yuhu, will charge directly."
"Hahaha……"
Cheng Yuhu's words made Shen Tang couldn't help laughing. He patted the two people on the shoulders with satisfaction, "Okay! Your growth this year has been very good. Now, you also have good strength. It won't be long before I will Give you a new mission."
"Yes!" The two men solemnly obeyed.
A few people chatted for a while, and then Shen Tang said: "I came to you personally this time because there is something I want you to do."
"My lord, please give me your instructions!" the two said respectfully.
Shen Tang nodded, "Now, there are 30,000 Xixia troops stationed outside Xijing. I need you to rush outside Xijing tonight and launch an attack on the Xixia troops to wipe them out as much as possible. By then, all the Xixia troops in the city will Eighteen thousand gold soldiers will cooperate with you and come out from the city gate to attack the Xixia army."
Shen Tang's words stunned the two of them, especially Cheng Yuhu. Even with Teng Wu's words before, he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Um... Sir, let's join forces with the Jin soldiers to flank the Xixia army? Will those Jin soldiers cooperate with us? With our strength, it will be quite difficult to defeat the 30,000 Xixia army head-on. Even, it will be difficult. Directly defeated..."
Cheng Yuhu's words made Shen Tang smile bitterly, and he said helplessly: "Don't worry about this! Xijing City is now in my hands, and all the golden soldiers in it can be regarded as my subordinates."
Looking at the two stunned people, Shen Tang said in a deep voice, "In addition, I must tell you that this battle is my personal matter, Shen Tang, and may not be in the interests of our Song Dynasty. However, I can I guarantee that it will never harm the interests of the Song Dynasty."
