Gong Linche's face gradually darkened, and his seemingly grumbling complaints made him feel firsthand what it meant to be a proud soldier.
This group of people actually dared to ignore the imperial court supported by the three major factions in front of him. To some extent, did they also mean to ignore the three major factions?
"You have won a few battles and you are starting to feel arrogant?" Gong Lince said coldly, instantly suppressing the dissatisfaction in the tent.
There was silence in the Chinese military tent. Su Qitong and Zhang Hu looked at me, then at you, and then they all quietly glanced at Meng Shanming who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Both of you, please go down." Meng Shanming suddenly waved his hand.
Zhang Hu and Su Qitong surrendered and retreated.
Luo Daan and Lu Zheng stood behind the wheelchairs, and Meng Shanming's eyes met Gong Lince's.
Finally, Gong Lince broke the calm and said, "Shuai Meng, I understand everyone's mood. Although the court's decision is selfish, it is also good for everyone. To be angry, Meng Shuai ordered the ears of 600,000 prisoners to be cut off. These
Even if the people are put back, those people who are missing ears are a shame to the Song Dynasty, and they can also be said to have vented bad breath. Zhang Hu and the others are all your old troops, and they are now under your command. They will listen to you.
, I hope Meng Shuai can make them understand more."
Meng Shanming looked calm and said word by word: "Prisoners, I will not let them go!"
Gong Linche suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Shuai Meng, you have to think about the overall situation. If you continue to fight like this, the Yan State will not get any benefits. It will only hurt both the Song State and Nanzhou. It is a good thing to have peace talks.
!”
Meng Shanming: "It's not time for peace talks yet."
Gong Lince made a noise. Although he disagreed, he still said politely: "I would like to hear Commander Meng's opinion."
Meng Shanming: "Now for peace talks? Will the main force of the three million Song army led by Luo Zhao be successfully withdrawn to the Song Dynasty? And then the 600,000 elite soldiers will be returned to the Song Dynasty. Has the head of the palace thought about the consequences?"
As soon as these words came out, something faintly awakened something in Gong Lince's heart, and he frowned slightly subconsciously.
Meng Shanming continued: "After returning the 600,000 elites and allowing the 3 million main force to successfully withdraw, the loss of Song's strength is actually not large, it is just that it suffered heavy losses in local battles. Throughout my military life, I have fought with Zhao
, South Korea, and the Song Dynasty have all fought against each other, and they are well aware of the importance of national strength in combat. The national strength of the Song Dynasty is still there in this battle, far stronger than that of the Yan Dynasty. It can accumulate supplies for another war at any time. If the Song Dynasty can retain enough elite troops
, from the perspective of me, a soldier of the Yan Kingdom, it will be a huge threat to my country, Yan, and this is something I cannot tolerate!"
"Master Gong, the Song Dynasty came with great momentum in this war, but in the end they shot themselves in the foot. Do you think they will give up? Especially when they maintain their national strength and military strength, can they give up? In my opinion
Come on, if they agree to the court's negotiating conditions and withdraw their troops, it will be just a temporary strategic retreat forced by the temporary situation to restore the unfavorable situation! The loss of national power and military strength is not great, and they are still far stronger than Dayan. Do you think they
Do you really think that the weak Dayan will bow his head and admit defeat?"
"Once they complete their strategic retreat and regain their position, they will definitely attack our country of Yan again! This is not a wild guess, but the current situation of Dayan has been turned into this by them.
Too weak and too easy to bully, like a three-year-old child, the people of Yan State can't even raise basic supplies for the army at home. If I don't take this opportunity to attack you, who else can I attack?"
"Once the Song Dynasty makes a comeback, it will be difficult to attack Dongyujiang again. Does the head of the palace think there is still such an opportunity? It is gone. It will be difficult to even reorganize the troops. The current opportunity will not be available again.
With that, it will be useless for anyone to command the army in battle, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice, and the Yan Dynasty is doomed to perish!"
"And South Korea! The Song State has withdrawn, and the Yan State has been tortured to such a weak point. Once the Song State withdraws, it should be South Korea's turn to attack Dayan. After South Korea launches the attack, even if the Song State does not immediately
If we take action, we will wait until South Korea is almost done fighting before sending troops to attack Yan again. The Song Dynasty has paid such a high price and cannot just sit back and watch South Korea take advantage."
Gong Lince was frightened after hearing these remarks. He was silent for a while and asked: "Can we prevent South Korea from sending troops if we continue to fight?"
Meng Shanming: "Misfortune is diverted to the east! I have played against South Korea's coach Jin Jue, and I know that he is good at forbearing and seizing the best offensive opportunities. He will not take action easily if he is not sure. This is also the case for South Korea."
The reason why the men and horses have not taken action against Dayan. Shao Dengyun is still good at fighting. With him in charge of Beizhou, Jin Jue will be wary. I guess Jin Jue is unwilling to confront the heavy troops assembled in Beizhou until he has to.
. He is waiting, he is waiting for the best opportunity to attack at the border."
"Eager to watch! We can't let him keep staring at Dayan. We must attract his attention to the Song Dynasty. The current situation is a great opportunity. Luo Zhao is young and energetic, greedy for big things and quick, and has created a major strategic plan for our Dayan."
During the period of opportunity, we, Dayan, must not miss it and must seize it! As long as our army blocks Luo Zhao's three million troops on the other side of the Dongyu River and cannot come back, and then disrupts the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty, Jin Jue will be able to get it at his fingertips.
We will definitely attack the Song Dynasty with our troops!"
Gong Linche understood what he meant and nodded slightly subconsciously, but he hesitated and said: "The current Yan State does not have the strength to annex the Song State. We paid such a high price, but in the end we made wedding clothes for South Korea. Once South Korea annexes it,
If we conquer the Song Dynasty, we are afraid that they may not accept our kindness. The powerful South Korea will be detrimental to me, Dayan!"
Meng Shanming: "So then it is time to truly negotiate with the Song State. Negotiating now is courting death! Only when the Song State is crippled, the Song State is eager to protect itself, and the Song State has no way out, will it be sincere.
Implement the results of negotiations. You cannot win on the battlefield, and you cannot make people surrender. It is unrealistic to expect people to surrender by using rhetoric in negotiations."
After saying this and waving his hand, Luo Daan immediately turned the wheelchair and pushed him down in front of the map.
Gong Lince also followed him to the map.
Meng Shanming took the hand stick handed over by Luo Daan and pointed at the map, "Both countries are weak. After the negotiation is successful, neither country wants to see the other fall under the butcher's knife of South Korea and make themselves the next victim."
, only then can we unite to fight against the common enemy. After the negotiation was successful, both Yan and Song Dynasties had a chance to breathe. Both sides stopped their troops, and the warring forces could gather northward. Both countries could assemble the most powerful forces in the north to attack South Korea. At this time,
Only if the two countries join forces can South Korea not dare to act rashly."
"After defeating the Song State, the threat to the east of the Yan State will be lifted. In the northern part of the Yan State, after the Song State is settled, the troops at war with the Song State can be calmly dispatched to strengthen the northern defense. Joining forces with the Song State, we can protect the
There is no need to worry about the north. To the south is the vast sea, and the investment in maritime warfare is too great, so the possibility of danger in the south is unlikely. To the west, Nanzhou is willing to be the western barrier of Dayan, and Daoye has enough influence on Zhao Kingdom's Jinzhou. Once Zhao Kingdom attacks,
, there is no need for the court to call, Nanzhou will take the initiative to join forces with Jinzhou to jointly defend against the enemy."
"This is the grand strategy that I, a crippled old man, have drawn up for Great Yan. The three major factions can implement this strategy and temporarily solve the crisis of Great Yan! As long as this strategic goal can be achieved, although it seems a bit fragile, it is better than nothing.
Give Dayan a chance to breathe, seize the time to recuperate, and accumulate national strength! When our army and horses are strong and our country is strong, who else will dare to invade?"
Gong Lince stared at the map, recalling Meng Shanming's words in his mind, and it took him a while before he let out a long breath.
In so many years, it was the first time that someone stood in front of him from the perspective of war and guided him on such a comprehensive and grand combat strategy. He was slightly shocked in his heart. Many things that he had to deal with in a hurry due to the situation were now organized, and he had a clear understanding in his heart.
Decide the direction.
With deep emotion in his heart, he sighed again, "If Commander Meng refuses to let go of those prisoners, Yanjing may be in real danger."
The suddenly aggressive tone before was gone.
Meng Shanming: "As long as our troops are directed towards the interior of the Song Dynasty and faced with unbearable pressure, Luo Zhao's attempt to attack Yanjing will not last long and we must withdraw! It doesn't take long, only seven or eight days will be enough.
.The capital city has high walls and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If 200,000 men and horses cannot defend it for seven or eight days, I really don’t know what use it would be to keep those rubbish in the capital city. If they are gone, they will be gone.
Well, it’s better than losing Dayan.”
Gong Lince: "It seems that Commander Meng is determined to do this!"
Meng Shanming: "You can relieve me, the general of the Eastern Expedition, or you can kill me and replace me with someone else to take command."
Gong Lince pursed his lips. He really didn't dare to touch Meng Shanming now, especially after hearing what Meng Shanming said just now, he also saw the attitude of Zhang Hu and others.
He said nothing more, turned around and left, preparing to communicate with Meng Xuan again.
After Luo Daan pushed Meng Shanming to the throne, he packed up his things and was about to move.
Lu Zheng, who had been listening for a long time, was shocked. Hearing Meng Shanming's words was an eye-opener. He couldn't help but walked to Meng Shanming and asked, "Shuai Meng, if you really kill those sixty
If you take any prisoners, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on your reputation."
"How many years can I live? I am alone, as long as the Yan State can win, what do I want with that reputation? Road struggle, remember, in this case, killing prisoners is not only against the Song State, but also against our own strategy and tactics
Choice. Our army enters the territory of the Song Dynasty to fight. There is insufficient food and no supplies, which has a great impact on morale. We don’t know what difficulties we will encounter later. When the Yan Kingdom has reached this point, there is no way out. The soldiers must work together and put their lives to the best of their abilities.
Only by this can we save the situation! We must kill prisoners and make enemies. For fear of revenge from the Song army, the soldiers who invaded the Song Dynasty will not dare to surrender, so they can fight to the death. The troops who are fighting against the Song army at home will not dare to surrender!"
