Mao Geng disagreed with this decision of the Song Dynasty court. , the latest chapter visit:
According to the thinking of Mao Geng and most time travellers, it is of course necessary to grasp the main contradiction. The number one enemy of the Song Dynasty is the Kingdom of Jin. After killing the Kingdom of Jin first, it will not be a piece of cake to turn around and deal with the weak teams around them!
But Mao Geng couldn't comment. Ma Fen originally wanted to say that since he was now the military commander of Sakhalin Island, it was inconvenient for him to make irresponsible remarks on the Song Dynasty's strategy. After all, the Song Dynasty court would still have to control Sakhalin Island. The island provides support in all aspects, don't make the court angry, that is not fun.
Liu Wenbin, on the other hand, did not have so many taboos. Looking at the expressions of Mao Geng and Ma Fen, he knew that although these two people disapproved, they were trying to restrain themselves. Such a dull situation was not a problem. At that moment, Liu Wenbin began to publish high-level remarks:
"The imperial court is preparing to conquer the Dali Kingdom in the west this time. I would say that it is always a good thing to attack Dali. It is always better than doing nothing at all. Please tell me, is this the truth? However, let me say something arrogant here. If so, if I, Liu, were to choose, I might choose the Kingdom of Jin to fight. Why! Attacking the Kingdom of Jin is to avenge the shame, and to avenge the shame of Jingkang is where the righteousness lies. Recovering the country is a matter of course, and it is our great responsibility. The sacred mission of the people of Song Dynasty, isn¡¯t it!¡±
Liu Wenbin sang in such a high tune, which suddenly made Lu Jiuyuan a little embarrassed. Meng Shu, who came with Lu Jiuyuan, was also very uncomfortable. Liu Wenbin's words were a bit unpleasant, but they were very reasonable.
When Liu Wenbin said this, he changed the subject and said:
"Nevertheless, attacking Dali can be considered an option. Well, let's call attacking Dali the middle strategy. The best strategy is of course the Northern Expedition to attack the Kingdom of Jin, but if we attack the Kingdom of Jin first, the best time should be one or two years After that, after our armaments are upgraded and we gain an overwhelming advantage, we can defeat the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. That is the best strategy. In addition to going to war with the Jin Kingdom, the only targets we can wage war against are Xixia, Tubo and Dali. country."
Liu Wenbin said while pointing to the map. On the map, the current territory of the Song Dynasty looked very pitiful. In later generations, a large piece of the territory of the Celestial Dynasty was swallowed up by Jin imperialism, and a large piece of Xixia was split off. Tubo is now divided into pieces. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is covered with Zampu. No matter how big the tribal leader is, he is named Zampu. Tubo's territory seems to be very large. Even parts of India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan in later generations are Tubo's territory. But at this time Tubo was in disarray. As for the Dali Kingdom, although the Duan clan of Dali is the leader of the country, the Gao clan of Dali is very powerful and often competes with the King of Dali in state affairs. Therefore, the Dali Kingdom is definitely not powerful now, but the territory of the Dali Kingdom at this time , the south extended to later Thailand, and the west extended to later Burma, which was not much smaller than the territory of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, only the southeast half of the Song Dynasty was left. Mao Geng felt panicked every time he looked at this map.
Lu Jiuyuan had to admit that what Liu Wenbin said was reasonable. According to Lu Jiuyuan's thoughts, of course the top priority was to wipe out the Jin Kingdom and restore the Song Dynasty to his homeland. The Northern Expedition indeed required more time to prepare in advance. Soldiers are a major event for the country! Of course, we must be cautious when dealing with the behemoth of the Jin Kingdom. Now that the imperial court has made a decision on the Western Expedition, it is suspected of sacrificing the greater for the smaller. It may also affect the cause of the Northern Expedition. However, as a minister, naturally he can only be consistent with the emperor and the imperial court.
¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t hurt to listen to what Liu Wenbin has to say.
"Between Xixia, Tubo and Dali, if you have to choose one to start a war, Liu believes that the first choice is Dali. Tubo is definitely not the direction of attack. There should be no doubt about this. Our country has always used Tubo to contain Xixia. Attacking allies is naturally not within the scope of our Song Dynasty's options. As for attacking Xixia, it is really a bad idea and a wise man will not take it. If we attack Xixia, if the Jin Kingdom comes to rescue us with reinforcements, we will only have to let our Song Dynasty soldiers get stuck in the quagmire. The Jin Kingdom's strategy It will be successful.¡±
?? Liu Wenbin¡¯s words, and the first half of the sentence about Tubo, everyone here deeply agrees, but when it comes to attacking Xixia, it is a bad idea, at least Han Zhouzhou feels that this may not be the case. The Song Dynasty went to war with Xixia in the past, and the Liao Kingdom was still watching with eager eyes. The war with Xixia should be fought as it should.
?????????????????????????? However, Han Zhouzhou¡¯s current qi-nourishing skills are different from those in the past, so let¡¯s just listen to this person continue to boast.
However, Zhao Lu couldn¡¯t help but ask:
"Then, Mr. Liu, what do you think our chances of winning during the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition to Dali are?" Zhao Suan is familiar with classics and history, and naturally knows the story of the Tang Dynasty's successive defeats in Nanzhao. In view of the fact that the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Nanzhao twice, the Taizu of this dynasty, Lin Da Crossing the river, he used a 'jade' ax to mark the boundary and said, "I don't own anything else." From this, the national policy was set not to conquer Dali. Zhao Lu even thought that if he had worked hard at the beginning, maybe Dali would have belonged to the Song Dynasty long ago. Now that the troops are strong and the horses are strong, and the weapons are more powerful than the eight streets of Dali Kingdom, it must not be difficult to conquer Dali Kingdom. It's a pity that I can't personally participate in the Western Expedition to Dali. I'm a little bit itchy.ban.
As a military enthusiast, Zhao Wei felt that Dali was vulnerable, but he also knew that military affairs were not child's play. Zhao Wei was very interested in listening to relevant people's deductions. In fact, the best person to perform the deductions was Ma Fen, but Ma Fen insisted on silence. Jin, fortunately, Liu Wenbin likes to show off, well, you might as well listen to Liu Wenbin¡¯s yy.
"Of course Dali cannot stop the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty who are equipped with many new weapons. But the western expedition to Dali is not about fighting on the battlefield. Liu believes that the five scum of Dali Kingdom cannot withstand the Heavenly Soldiers of the Song Dynasty."
When he heard "fighting against the five scum", Zhao Wei couldn't help but feel happy. As for "fighting against the five scum", Zhao Wei had heard Yu Yun'lu talk about it before. It was said that after the surgical beauty Yu Yun'lu arrived at Xiayi Island, she finally As she got her wish, she fell in love with Zhao Luan, the king of Beihai County, and became a "princess" level figure in one fell swoop. Yu Yunlu was not stupid enough to tell Zhao Luan the secret of the time traveler, but after frequent conversations, some words from later generations naturally emerged. After going back and forth, Zhao Luan also understood many new words. For example, when he heard about Zhan Wu Zha, Zhao Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liu Wenbin also laughed, thinking that we accidentally used the word "fighting five scum", well, we should be careful in the future, and we can't use words as we please.
"It shouldn't be difficult to defeat Dali. The key is that in the Western Expedition to Dali, the Song Dynasty's expectation should be to win at the lowest cost and as quickly as possible. This may not be easy to achieve."
When Meng Shu heard this, he was a little dissatisfied and asked:
"But why?"
"The country of Dali is located on a plateau, with mountains and rivers. When the Song Dynasty invaded, Liu expected that Dali would not be able to resist it. But after entering the territory of Dali, the logistics - oh, no! I mean, the transportation of grain and grass may not be able to continue, and The Dali Kingdom resisted one after another. As time went by, the enemy's resistance became stronger, and our army might eventually be at the end of its tether. Even if our army won in the end, it would still be a protracted war of attrition, which was quite harmful to us in the Song Dynasty. It¡¯s not good.¡±
"Mr. Liu, if you have any reminders, just say so." How could Lu Jiuyuan not know about the corruption of Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty, so he immediately aroused his vigilance.
"Liu believes that the Western Expedition to Dali should be carried out step by step, with steady advancement as the key, and preparations for long-term operations should be made. In order to ensure that the Western Expedition to Dali does not fall short, the Jin Kingdom must be contained on the northern front."
"Mr. Liu, do you want me and the Song Dynasty to start a war on both sides?" Speaking of the Kingdom of Jin, Meng Shu was still wary of the behemoth to the north. "Fear of gold" cannot be cured in a short time without medicine. Many people in the Song Dynasty were afraid of starting a war on both sides, especially provoking the Jin Kingdom. Meng Shu could not help but feel a little cold at this moment.
"Look, my Sakhalin Island can just contain the Jin Kingdom!" Liu Wenbin finally pointed out the topic. ¡ª¡ª32133+dsuaahhh+27122642¡ª¡ª>
