Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's just a temporary repair, and this is a game strategy between countries. Breaking the alliance between the Zhou Dynasty and the Jurchens is equivalent to solving the pressure of being attacked on both sides. Maybe what the Liao people want to do more is to fight with the Jurchens
They wanted to make peace, but they did not have this condition, because the Jurchens would not compromise with them. Only Dazhou, the court would be in panic and lamentation when they were defeated. At this time, peace should be Guo Xu's first choice. Yelu
If Zong Yuan was smart, he should negotiate peace with the Zhou Dynasty. While extorting a blackmail, he could also break up the alliance with the Jurchens. The Liao people could free up their hands to supplement their domestic deficit with the materials compensated by the Zhou Dynasty.
, use Dazhou's money and food to raise troops for them, and then fight against the Jurchens. After destroying the Jurchens, the next step is Dazhou. How can the Liao people let Dazhou go? They squeezed Dazhou's money and food, and then they were destroyed.
."
Everyone took a breath. Although Master Lin's tone was calm, the scene he described was extremely terrifying. If the Liao people are really what Lin Jue thought, then once the Zhou Dynasty and the Liao people reach a peace agreement, the Liao people will
It can be divided and conquered, focusing on destroying the Jurchens first, and then turning around to destroy the Zhou Dynasty.
"You said...will the imperial court agree to negotiate a peace? Doesn't the imperial court realize this?" Guo Kun frowned and said in deep thought.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "I don't know what the court will do. Logically speaking... Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun are both smart people, and there are also smart people in the court. They should have thought that negotiating peace with the Liao people at this time is not the best thing to do.
The previous alliance with the Jurchens may have been hasty, but at this time, the alliance with the Jurchens needs to be unbreakable. If peace is to be negotiated, it can only be achieved by reaching a three-party peace agreement, and it must not be unilaterally negotiated with the Liao people. That is the truth.
The Liao people are strategic. But... what you and I say doesn't count, it still depends on what Guo Xu, Yang Jun, Lu Zhongtian and others think."
Guo Kun rubbed his hands and said, "I hope that as you said, the court will see through the Liao people's tricks."
Lin Jue said softly: "With all due respect, it would be difficult for the court not to consider negotiating peace with the Liao people. I think the key person is Yang Jun. Yang Jun still has some knowledge. He should understand the Liao people's intentions. If he can
If we withstand the pressure, find ways to organize our troops, gather combat power, and convince Guo Xu to understand the subtleties involved, then we can avoid falling into the trap of peace talks. But as far as Guo Xu is concerned, I'm afraid he is already out of his mind at this moment.
, I don’t know what to do. If he is afraid that the Liao people will invade and his throne is not guaranteed, then he will definitely negotiate peace with the Liao people. Of course, the attitude of the Liao people is also decisive. If the Liao people open their mouths and propose something that is too exaggerated
If they ask for land cession or huge compensation, then the peace negotiation may not succeed. But I think Yelu Zongyuan will not do this. Yelu Zongyuan will definitely put forward conditions that are acceptable to the Zhou Dynasty, and they are
They can get the most beneficial conditions. If Yelu Zongyuan didn't even have a basic judgment on the situation, he, the emperor, would have stepped down long ago. The pressure Yelu Zongyuan is facing at this moment is also huge. His order to dig the dam may have caused
In order to deal with the huge dissatisfaction of the Liao Kingdom, he had to quell the Jurchen rebellion and divert domestic attention by attacking the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, at this time, in fact,
This is the delicate moment of the game. Whoever makes a wrong move may be destroyed."
Everyone listened with cold sweat dripping down their spines. It turned out that there was such a subtle and crucial game between the three parties. If Master Lin hadn't pointed it out, everyone would never have thought of these key points. After being astonished, Lin Jue
He was even more impressed and fell to the ground.
"Brother Lin, since it is so critical, what should we do in this situation? Just now you said that our Luoyan Army was going to change our strategy, did you mean that we should do something?" Ma Bin asked with rare thoughtfulness.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, what we have to do is to seize the time and expand our strength. Our Luoyan Army must do something and be prepared. Because I personally think that there are not many comfortable days left for us. Regardless.
Regardless of the court's decision, the chaos between the Liao Kingdom, the Zhou Dynasty, and the Jurchens has become a mess. The so-called delicate tripartite balance I mentioned before is the most ideal situation and is unlikely to be realized. And the biggest possibility is that
If the Liao people destroyed the Jurchens, they would turn around and start a war with the Zhou Dynasty. Either the imperial court would be ruthless and mobilize the last strength to fight the Liao people together with the Jurchens, and finally destroy the Liao Kingdom. There is actually no room for relaxation in this. Any
All relaxations are temporary. For us, no matter which situation occurs, we cannot survive alone. Therefore, our Luoyan Army must seize this last time to grow stronger. Our Luoyan Army now has a total strength of 50,000 people. At present,
There is no need to expand the military strength, because I have always said that more troops do not necessarily mean strength. The key is to have good soldiers, well-equipped, advanced tactics, and proper strategies. What I mean by increasing strength is to take advantage of the imperial court's defeat and their current powerlessness.
No matter what we do, we must purchase and build large quantities of weapons, firearms and various materials. All resources must be tilted towards the military. Everyone must tighten their nerves. We must be prepared to go out to fight at any time, and with anyone.
Preparations for battle include Liao people, Jurchens, and even court soldiers and horses when necessary."
"Okay, Brother Lin, you are finally willing to say that. Do you know how long everyone has been waiting for this sentence?" Ma Bin laughed and said: "Damn, what Liao Jurchens, I really want to follow
They will meet for a while."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Liang Qiye said: "That's right, we are almost going crazy with the pressure. We train every day, and we don't know when we will be able to go out to fight in the mountains. When the villagers saw us climbing mountains and training, they all said that we were full and had nothing to do, so we might as well help them.
Doing farm work and digesting a full stomach of food, military advisor, do you think it makes people angry or not? Although it is a joke, brothers are really holding back a lot of pressure."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "What are you talking about? You really want to go to war, shouldn't you hope that there will never be a war? You have only been peacefully for a few days, and everyone is not quiet anymore? I should really take you all with me.
The Liao Kingdom looked at the brutality of the battlefield, looked at the corpses strewn under Zhuozhou City, and looked at the bloody corpses that were pecked by vultures and crows all over the city after the flood flooded Xingzhong Mansion. The purpose of our military training is of course to meet the needs of
It is time to fight, but what is the ultimate goal? To make the world peaceful and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is to never fight. If you train troops just for fighting, you will lose
The value of my Luoyan Army."
Everyone rolled their eyes and was speechless. Master Lin was doing this again. His ears were getting calluses after hearing these words. However, Master Lin said that he was talking about the cruelty of war, but he made a swarm of firearms, divine warriors, generals, cannons, and other things that were a bit better. No mercy.
"When going to fight, you must first train your troops and prepare well, otherwise you will risk your death. With the current strength of our Luoyan Army, even the Jurchens, Liao people, and even the imperial army may not be able to defeat us. You still have to practice hard." Lin Jue said.
"Yes, yes, that's what the military advisor said."
"What Brother Lin said is that Brother Lin spoke with great righteousness, understood everything clearly, and was far-sighted. What he said was absolutely correct."
Everyone started talking and flattering each other.
"However, Mr. Lin hasn't specifically told us what we should do. Please be quiet, stop talking nonsense, and listen to your instructions." Shen Tan said without losing the opportunity.
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said: "We have to go out to the mountains to collect the supplies we need. We don't need food, grass and other supplies, but we need other supplies, such as iron, gunpowder, horses, and a large number of craftsmen. We need to speed up the construction of workshops and speed up various The construction of weapons and the necessary vehicles and equipment cannot be done in a trivial manner. We need to send people to the iron ore producing areas to buy them, to the horse producing areas, and to the gunpowder producing areas to buy them. The imperial court has too much to take care of itself right now, so we don’t need to be too low-key. .Send smart brothers to pretend to be merchants to purchase goods at a higher price than the imperial court. Don’t be afraid of spending money. All our money must be spent and converted into combat effectiveness. I admit that we are taking advantage of the imperial court’s danger to hold us back, but we don’t care. Already."
Everyone nodded and said: "I see, you really don't need to be too careful. There are no officers and soldiers within dozens of miles outside the mountain. Most of the local troops have been mobilized from several places, and the rest are very honest and will not conflict with us at all. We can even walk freely between several state capitals, and they don't care about us at all."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Of course. Yang Jun went to the north and requisitioned a lot of military resources. The local Xiang army must have deducted a lot of military pay. Even the armor of the Forbidden Army was requisitioned, let alone them. I guess there are also Many soldiers have been mobilized to the northeastern town, but they don't think we will take the opportunity to attack, so they are very relieved about us."
"If it weren't for the military advisor's inaccuracies, we would have captured several surrounding state capitals long ago." Liang Qi couldn't help but say.
Lin Jue glared at him and said: "What's the point of taking it down? It's just a waste of energy. When the army comes, can you hold it? Isn't it good for the court to take care of it? If you have the ability to capture Bianliang and arrest Guo Xu, then you can call me Real ability.”
Liang Qi rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
"We must do what needs to be done immediately, and we must be fully prepared. The matters we discussed before have not yet been finalized, so I suggest sending a large number of scouts to inquire about the further development of the situation, so as to be aware of the situation and act accordingly. It's a good response. In short, Prince, brothers, I'm afraid we all have to tighten our nerves and get busy." Lin Jue stood up and said.
Everyone said yes, and with Lin Jue taking the lead, everyone felt much more at ease.
