Chinese General Summoning System

Chapter 589: The strategy of rejecting the wolf into the tiger

On the evening of January 14, 432, Dajin, in a chamber in the mansion of Prince Dou Yan of the Ministry of War in Canglong City, thirteen important court officials who controlled the power of the Dajin court gathered here, everyone’s face They all showed heavy expressions. About the Southeast Xiang Army invaded Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, the Da Jin court had received letters of assistance from Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou respectively.

The military chief Dou Yan said in a deep voice to other important court officials: "In less than ten days, one city and eleven counties in Leizhou lost three counties, and one city and nine counties in Qinzhou also lost three counties. One city and eight counties in Hengzhou have lost a full four counties. If these three states have no foreign aid, it may not be long before these three states will fall into the hands of the Southeast Army!"

The Crown Lieutenant Zhao Boran gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Mingqi, the bastard, the court has given him all the seven states in the southeast, but he is still not satisfied. This time, we must not sit idly by. We must send troops to support Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou to give a severe lesson to Zhang Mingqi’s Southeast Xiang Army!"

At this time, Lieutenant Yang Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "According to the information obtained by the court, the Southeast Xiang Army is now organized and trained into seven legions, and these seven legions have sixty guards under their jurisdiction, and each guard’s strength is equal. At around 125,000, this indicates that the total strength of the Southeast Xiang Army has reached 7.5 million. This time, the Southeast Xiang Army has deployed a total of 20 guards, a total of 2.5 million. The troops also invaded Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. The Southeast Xiang Army that entered Leizhou was the Second Army, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army that entered Qinzhou and Hengzhou, and the Second Army of the Southeast Xiang. With one million people, the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army each have 750,000."

After a pause, Lieutenant Yang Zhong went on to say: "And the total army of Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou may be only a little over 1.1 million. At present, the army of these three states has lost hundreds of thousands. Faced with the more than two million troops of the Southeast Xiang Army, even if our court sends out all the 16 Guards, it will not necessarily prevent the Southeast Xiang Army from annexing Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou."

Leizhou is the largest state among the five southwestern states. It has one city and eleven counties, with a total population of more than 15 million. The three largest forces under this rule are Zhou Mulincheng, Litang County Governor Xu She, and Banjiang County Governor Zhao Yongzhong.

Among the three powers in Leizhou, Zhou Mulincheng has the largest power, controlling one city and six counties in Leizhou, with 260,000 troops. Litang County prefect Xu She controls the three counties with 120,000. The army, Zhao Yongzhong, the prefect of Banjiang County, controls the territory of the two counties and has an army of 80,000.

At present, the two counties of the prefect of Banjiang County, Zhao Yongzhong, have been captured by the Second Army of the Southeast Xiang Army. Zhao Yongzhong, the prefect of Banjiang County, was also killed by an arrow while defending the city. Almost a quarter of the 80,000 troops in Zhao Yongzhong’s hand All three surrendered to the Southeast Xiang Army, and the remaining quarter of the army, partly fled, and partly annihilated in combat.

A county under Xu She, the prefect of Litang County, has now fallen into the hands of the Second Army of the Southeast Xiang Army. The Second Army of the Southeast Xiang Army is attacking the other two controlled by the prefect of Litang County Xu She. The 120,000 army of Xu She, the prefect of Litang County, now only has more than 80,000 men left.

Qinzhou has one city and nine counties, with a total population of about 10 million. Previously, there were only two forces left in Qinzhou, namely Zhou Mu Liu Du and Dangyang County Prefect Yuan Xin. Among them, Zhou Mu Liu Du controlled one of Qinzhou’s prefects. The four counties of the city have about 200,000 troops. Yuan Xin, the prefect of Dangyang County of Qinzhou, controls the remaining five counties of Qinzhou and also has about 200,000 troops.

At present, the three counties controlled by Yuan Xin, the prefect of Dangyang County, were all captured by the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army. The 200,000 troops in the hands of Yuan Xin, the prefect of Dangyang County, were also wiped out by the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang. Thirty thousand, most of which surrendered to the Southeast Xiang Army, and the Sixth Army of the Southeast Xiang Army was launching a fierce attack on the other two counties in the hands of Yuan Xin, the prefect of Dangyang County.

Hengzhou has one city and eight counties, with a total population of about 9 million. Previously, there were two forces left in Hengzhou, namely Zhou Mu Li Hao and Luodian County Prefect Sun Ju, in which Zhou Mu Li Hao controlled One city and four counties in Hengzhou have an army of 150,000. The prefect of Luodian County Sun Ju controls the four counties of Hengzhou and has an army of 100,000.

Sun Ju, the prefect of Luodian County, has been defeated and killed. Sun Ju’s four counties have all fallen into the hands of the Seventh Army of the Southeast Xiang Army. Most of his 100,000 troops have also surrendered to the Southeast Xiang Army. The Seventh Army of the Southeast Xiang Army is battling its troops, preparing to continue to attack one city and four counties in Mu Li Hao, Hengzhou Prefecture.

The three regiments of the Southeast Xiang Army captured so many sites in Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, and the combined losses were no more than 100,000. In addition, because of the integration of a large number of troops from Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, their forces rose instead of decreasing. At present, the total strength of the Southeast Xiang Army in these three states exceeds 2.6 million.

The total number of troops in Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou is only about 760,000. The military strength is much worse than the three regiments of the Southeast Xiang Army. If the Jin Dynasty wants to save Leizhou, Qinzhou and For the situation in Hengzhou, at least about two million additional troops must be sent to these three prefectures. However, the total strength of the sixteen guards under the control of the Jin Dynasty is less than 1.2 million, even if they are all sent to Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou may not be able to change the situation of the battle, not to mention the important officials of the Dajin court, it is impossible to send out the last cards of the court.

As soon as the voice of Lieutenant Yang Zhong fell, Zhao Boran, the Crown Lieutenant of the Criminal Department, shouted excitedly: "Even if the Southeast Xiang Army has more troops, our court can't just watch the Southeast Xiang Army annex Lei, Qin, and Heng. Three states!"

The reason why Zhao Boran, the Crown Lieutenant of the Criminal Department, was so excited was because Mu Lincheng of Leizhou Prefecture was Zhao Boran's brother-in-law. Of course, Zhao Boran did not want Leizhou to be annexed by the Southeast Army.

Taiwei Dou Yan sighed and said, “Taiwei Zhao, don’t get too excited. 13 of us are gathered here today to discuss countermeasures. Of course, our court is not willing to watch the Southeast Xiang army annexed. Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, but our court only has the 16th Guards Corps. We want to stop the Southeast Xiang Army. Unless the 16th Guards Corps are sent to Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou, will we have a chance to stop the annexation of the Southeast Xiang Army. After these three states, the sixteen guards of the Forbidden Army are the last cards of our court. It is impossible for the court to send all the sixteen guards to Canglong City at once, alas—"

Zhao Boran, the Crown Prince of the Criminal Ministry, pondered for a moment and said: "Dou Taiwei, our thirteenth family can gather at least one and a half million families. With this one and a half million families, another eight guards of the imperial army should be enough to smash. The Southeast Xiang Army’s attempt to annex Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. In addition, the imperial court can also conscript the armies of the various states and jointly send troops to defeat the Southeast Xiang Army. If the court can allow the Captive Army to go south, then the Southeast Xiang Army will not be a cause for concern!"

At this time, Sun Mingtao, the lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, frowned and said: "A few years ago, when the Southeast Xiang Army surrounded Canglong City, our thirteenth family lost a large number of families. It’s impossible for our Sun family to give out one hundred thousand households, or even more. Now that our Sun’s households are all counted, there are only less than sixty thousand people. Our Sun’s family can give out 10,000 at most. The famous Ding, the old man believes that it is the most appropriate to let the Marriage Breaking Army go south. With the strength of the Marriage Breaking Army, it is enough to prevent the Southeast Xiang Army from annexing Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou."

Later, Wang Zhihuan, Taiwei Taiwei of the Ministry of Rites, Taiwei Zheng Kai of the Household Ministry, Han Renji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wu Ziyu of the Ministry of Public Affairs, Zhang Shunran of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Chen Sikai of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, also spoke out, saying that it is impossible for their respective families to come together to support Leizhou. , Qinzhou and Hengzhou, and even these ministers also opposed sending the Forbidden Army. They believed that the Forbidden Army was equivalent to the important weapon of the country and could not easily be moved away from Canglong City. This made the expression of Sun Mingtao, Crown Lieutenant of the Ministry of Industry, look more and more ugly.

In fact, these important court officials are unwilling to lose their own strength. They are not really unable to make up 100,000 households. According to the strength of the 13th family, it should not be a problem for one family to take out 100,000 households. They are unwilling to let the Forbidden Army support Leizhou and Qinzhou. And Hengzhou, for the same reason, you must know that the sixteen guards of the Forbidden Army are now controlled by the thirteen families.

The military chief Dou Yan coughed and said: "The 16-guard imperial army in Canglong City is the last trump card of the imperial court. It is better to send it or not. As for the family member of our thirteenth family, it is the trump card of our thirteenth family. It’s best not to use it, and the conscription of the army of the states does not seem to have much effect. Now that Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou are removed, the states that can obey the court’s will only leave Meizhou, Wanzhou, Dazhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, Liuzhou, Yizhou, Guizhou, and Yuzhou, but these nine states should not be able to send many troops, so if you want to break the siege of Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou, you have to break the army. Think of a way."

Hussar General Xiao Su said in a deep voice at this time: "If the Sundering Army can send troops south, it should indeed be able to prevent the Southeast Xiang Army from annexing Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. However, the Sundering Army has just let Dawan cede Gaochang. The provinces and dependent countries of Dawan, as well as the ten provinces of Dawan’s own country, and turning these areas into twelve states of the Western Regions’ Protectorate, Dawan’s hatred of the Marriage-captured Army can be said to be deeply rooted. According to the news from our court, Dawan is stepping up its preparations for war and may send troops to the Western Regions to protect the mansion at any time. Therefore, I am worried that the Squadron will not easily send troops to the south. A large country will have to contain at least a few million of the Squadron. force!"

Hussar General Li Hong smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that Liu Ji brought hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Marriage Breaking Army this time, suddenly appeared in the capital of Dawan, and captured Dawan City in one fell swoop. The captive army caused a terrible tragedy in the city of Dawan. Millions of civilians in Dawan were slaughtered. The feud between the captive army and Dawan became a big deal. In order to prevent Dawan’s revenge, the captive army was very good. Probably not sending troops to the south."

Hussar General He Guangzong said afterwards: "The slaughter of millions of civilians in Dawan City this time is still considered to be finished. I heard that Liu Ji also ransacked all the beauties in Dawan City, even hundreds of kings of Dawan. The princess has also taken over. How could Dawan be reluctant to give up with the Rakyat? Maybe it won’t be long before the war between Dawan and Rakyat will ignite again. At this time, I want the Rakyat to send troops to the south. It shouldn't be easy."

Lieutenant Yang Zhong sighed and said: "No matter what, I have to try it. I hope Liu Ji can take care of the overall situation, otherwise the court can only sit and watch the Southeast Xiang army annex Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou."

After the other twelve important officials of the imperial court left the mansion of Taiwei Dou Yan, the chariot general Dou Bing saw Tai Wei Dou Yan in a study room, "Uncle, have you discussed a solution?"

Dou Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Many ministers are unwilling to let the court send troops to Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. It seems that the families represented by these ministers are afraid of the Southeast Xiang Army."

Cheqi General Dou Bing frowned and said: "Then you can't just watch the Southeast Xiang Army annex Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. If the Southeast Xiang Army is allowed to annex these three states, maybe the Southeast Xiang Army will annex these three states. , And will continue to annex two other states in the southwest, and even more states and counties in our Greater Jin Dynasty!"

"Oh—everyone understands this truth, so the 13 of us finally decided to invite the Sundering Army to send troops south to prevent the Southeast Xiang Army from annexing Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Chaqi General Dou Bing frowned when he heard this, "Uncle, please go south, this is tantamount to refusing the wolves to enter the tiger. My nephew is worried that after the Rakyat enters the southwest, they will not leave easily."

Tai Wei Dou Yan nodded and said: "The old man is also very worried about this, but now it is basically impossible for the court to send troops to support Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou. Even the old man himself is not willing to let us Dou family. The Yulin Youwei controlled by the Forbidden Army, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Dings trained by our Dou family, went to Leizhou, Qinzhou, and Hengzhou. By then, even if the Southeast Xiang Army can be driven out of these three states, Yulin How many of the hundreds of thousands of the right guard and our Dou family can be left? Besides, these three states are not the sphere of influence of our Dou family at all. In the end, our Dou family can only make wedding dresses for others. Will stay in the southwestern states not to leave, and the court can no longer take care of it now."

Chaqi General Dou Bing bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, now most of the troops of the Puppet Army are constrained by Dawan in the territory of the Western Regions Protectorate. Will the Puppet Army send troops this time?"

"To be honest, the old man doesn't know whether Liu Ji will send troops. If the squadron cannot send troops to the south, then Leizhou, Qinzhou and Hengzhou, and even the entire five southwestern states, will have to be annexed by the Southeast Xiang Army."
