Chapter 225 (2/2)

Of course, this kind of expropriation is well understood. It is nothing more than robbing the countryside or forcibly borrowing food from the big landlords who have not been attacked and destroyed by the anti thieves. No? Then robbing is to completely regard the enemy occupied area as a hostile area and implement the military strategy of giving food to the enemy regardless of the consequences.

This is tantamount to forcing the landlord class on the side of the court to the anti thief side. Once the landlord class in turn supports the anti thief, things will be big.

Originally, one of the weakest aspects of anti thieves was the lack of the ability to rule and operate base areas. There is the support of the landlord class who has read books and is good at governing the countryside. It can occupy a land and cede it to be king. At that time, we had to deal with opponents at the level of Jiedu envoys in various border towns, rather than a peasant army that only knew looting.

The father and son were speechless. When Li Chengye just came out, Zhang Zhenke pointed to his back and scolded. Even if Princess Shouning reminded Zhang Zhen, Zhang Zhen ignored it.

In addition, it was too easy to defeat Wu Junxi before, which made Princess Shouning feel a little light of the enemy. She is also aware of the current state treasury situation, although she agrees with the strategy put forward by Li Chengye at the military conference.

However, the siege at the strategic level had a great impact on all the expenses of the imperial court. The National Treasury is already empty, and the soldiers still need to be rewarded for their meritorious service in battle. Coupled with the consumption of long-term siege operations, maybe the national finance will collapse first, and then it will be another disaster.

On the other hand, from the news from the palace, she knew that her father's energy was getting worse and worse.

In addition to military affairs every day, some ordinary folds are no longer concerned, but handed over to the prime minister. And it's hard to sleep all night. He can't sleep until the National Teacher instills genuine Qi into him and regulates his Qi pulse.

Princess Shouning has already had a bad feeling that if the anti rebel war continues to drag on, if her father suddenly..., then she may turn around and become an opportunity for this group of anti thieves?

Moreover, from her personal thoughts, if she can put an end to the rebellion as soon as possible and bring this good news back to Chang'an, perhaps her father and Emperor may be able to survive the year of great disaster annotated by the national teacher. In the coming year, the father Emperor may be able to return to his former state for the rest of his life, and the rivers and mountains of Datang will become stronger and stronger under his governance!

Therefore, based on the above ideas, although Princess Shouning dissuaded Zhang Zhen, she was refuted by Zhang Zhen in the name of Treasury emptiness and durability war, and stopped supporting Li Chengye's strategy.

Change to a tacit attitude and support Zhang Zhen's army to attack Xuzhou.

Finally, when he vowed to go to war, Li Chengye still insisted on his own point of view, but he could not put it forward at this time. Otherwise, he would disobey the military order and disturb the morale of the army. He would kill his head!

So Li Chengye made a final struggle and asked his Royal Highness Princess Shouning to rush to Changan. Ask her Majesty the emperor to ask the Jianghuai navy to keep the Huaihe line of defense. If the thieves want to lower Henan, they must be annihilated above Huaihe.

In addition, Shouchun, Zhongli, Huaiyin and other places were asked to organize group exercises to guard themselves, so as to prevent thieves from entering the Huaihe River and causing chaos in the Jianghuai river.

Princess Shouning allowed her to send a letter to Chang'an through private channels. However, she was not sure whether the imperial court would follow suit. It's hard to say how much combat power the Jianghuai navy has left after a long war, but the imperial warships are still there. In contrast, the anti thief is not good at water warfare. Maybe he can succeed when the thief is half crossed.

However, although it doesn't cost the imperial court much money, the imperial court is taboo about it. It's worried that it will be very difficult to revoke the regiment practice after it is compiled and practiced. It's inevitable that it will not become a local vassal town again.

The whole army went to the southeast in such a situation where the strategic demands of the commanders were completely inconsistent. Although morale is still high, no one knows whether the future is dark or bright.
