Chapter 1555 (2/2)
This said is equal to did not say.
Before Yan Wushuang's defeat and retreat to Shengjing, there were 1.2 million soldiers and horses in Liaodong. But he sent out 500000 troops and horses from Liaodong, and finally only brought back 50000. In these years, countless people have been killed and injured.
Every year, there are almost no soldiers to recruit. So, by now, the regular army is less than 700000. There are 250000 troops in Tongcheng, 200000 in Xiangzhou, 150000 in Shengjing and 150000 in other places to maintain local stability.
Now, if we want to mobilize troops, we can only mobilize the 150000 troops and horses in the area at most. But once all these soldiers and horses have been transferred, they will not be stable in the place.
Although these years Yan Wushuang year after year tax relief, coupled with the introduction of potato and sweet potato, so that many people can eat. But some people are hungry. Once the troops are withdrawn, these people are likely to launch a riot under the instigation of interested people.
After discussion for a long time, 70000 troops and horses were drawn from the local area, and 50000 troops and horses were drawn from Shengjing.
As soon as the matter was discussed, general Shen Honghua stood up and asked for war: ”emperor, I would like to lead the troops to Tongcheng to support general Qiu.”
Yan Wushuang nods and agrees. In addition, Lin Fengyuan, general of the northern expedition, goes to Tongcheng to fight against the Donghu people.
It's past midnight that this matter has been discussed. Yan matchless is very tired, but he can't rest.
When Meng Nian was called, Yan Wushuang asked, ”did you find out who the emissary is?”
Meng Nian shakes his head.
”What's the change over there?” Now, he is suffering from an unprecedented crisis.
Meng Nian shook his head and said: ”the Feng army has been asking for war, but Yunqing and hanyuxi did not answer. There is no difference but to send envoys. ”
Yan Wushuang asked: ”Yunqing and Han Yuxi want to recruit me, what do you think?”
Mengnian's idea is the same as Yuchen's: ”it's just acting.” They have blood feuds with Yunqing and hanyuxi, and they can't be recruited. Yunqing and hanyuxi must know that.
Well, Yan Wushuang said, ”if they don't get a response, they will send troops. I'm afraid Yunqing will fight in person. ” If Yunqing leads the troops, he won't win much. After all, the name of Yunqing's God of war was not blown out, it was fought out.
Meng Nian said with a wry smile, ”nine out of ten the leaders are Yun Qing.” In general, the reason why emperors seldom fight in person is that there is a great risk, not only the risk of war, but also the instability of the rear. Can have Han Yuxi in, rear affirmation solid if rock. On the contrary, if the three princes are invited to guard Shengjing by their own masters, the detailed works hidden in Shengjing are likely to cause trouble.
”Then we have to plan for the worst.” With Yunqing, he doesn't have much confidence.
On the morning of the second day, Meng niande received a message from the capital and two places in the Northwest: ”emperor, Yun Qing ordered Hu Yichen as the envoy of the peace. In addition, there are changes in the army and horses in the northwest. ” Think about it. Yunqing sent troops from the northwest to Changzhou.
”That's what Han Yuxi can think of.” Unexpectedly, he did not appoint the important officials in the court as envoys, and let Hu Yichen, who was only engaged in learning, become envoys.
However, Meng Nian thought that Han Yuxi's move was shameless: ”the imperial minister and the Minister of the Ministry of works are both from Baitan academy, which is also a student of Hu Yichen. If we want to be unfavorable to Hu Yichen, they will surely come out and plead for mercy. ”
”Why kill him? Just leave him in Shengjing. ” As for those followers, if they don't like it, they will kill them. However, in Han Yuxi's nature, I'm afraid that all these people who follow me are irrelevant.
Many generals couldn't figure out how the court wanted to appease Yan Wushuang. Fengzhiao is one of them.
Feng zhiao held the sword in his hand and said: ”Dad, now the yanthief is fighting with the Donghu people, this is the best time for us to send troops. At this time, the envoys were sent to Liaodong to appease the Yan thief. Isn't that delaying the war? ” At this time, we will send troops to Xiangzhou and take Shengjing.
Feng Dajun scolded Feng zhiao: ”what do you know? On war, are you more powerful than the emperor? ”
Fengzhi Ao dare to compare with Yunqing: ”Dad, I just don't understand why I sent some bullshit envoys to recruit.”
Feng Dajun said: ”the emperor is afraid that once we send troops to force Yan Wushuang into a desperate situation, he will form an alliance with the Donghu people. If so, there will be constant fighting. ”
Feng Zhi Ao Yang said in a voice, ”fight and fight. The northern captives are destroyed. Are you still afraid of them?”
Feng Dajun thought that his son was young, and he was too short-sighted: ”don't pay for war? Now the Treasury has no money. Moreover, in recent years, the world has settled down. If we continue to fight for years as before, we are bound to raise taxes and taxes. If people can't survive, they will fall into chaos again. ”
Feng zhiao thought this was a fallacy and said, ”if you want to say this, will you never hit Liaodong?”
”What do you mean by the emperor and the queen?” Anyway, he'll take orders. Let's fight. He will send troops to fight Xiangzhou. Without the order to send troops, he kept Changzhou well.
Feng zhiao was frustrated: ”I thought I could take advantage of this opportunity to take Liaodong.”
”The more fierce Yan matchless is fighting with Donghu people, the better, the more soldiers and horses will be damaged. It will be a lot easier for us to take Liaodong and fight with Donghu people. ” The population of Donghu is more than two million, and the number of people with combat effectiveness is half at most. One more death will lighten one burden. Of course, the premise is to take Liaodong in five years.
Feng zhiao thought the joke was not funny at all: ”generals in the army are still waiting to make contributions!” He also wants to make a great contribution at this opportunity!
Feng's army glanced at Feng zhiao and said, ”what's the hurry? There are opportunities to make contributions.” If you want to fight Liaodong, you need to fight Donghu people! I don't worry about the chance to make a contribution. But by that time, he will be on the second tier. In the battlefield, it's time to leave it to the young people of my son's generation.
