At the entrance of a yard outside the imperial city of Jinyang City.
Someone shouted: The emperor is here.Then suddenly a short sound: Drink!Two rows of soldiers wearing strong and sharp legs stepped on their feet and raised their cherry guns together.
Guo Shao walked towards the door with his sword and strode, and suddenly he found that the postures and expressions of the personal soldiers were very strange. They were not as raised as they usually asked them to hold their heads up, but they all wanted to bend over, and they all looked at themselves secretly with their eyes, with awe on their faces.
He glanced at it and walked into the lobby and sat down in the upper position.
The civil and military officials on both sides stood up from the chairs and performed a bow: Your Majesty will live forever!
Get up.Guo Shao said casually as usual, lifted up his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Guo Shao reached out and touched his forehead. Looking back, there were more than a dozen people, including civil servants from the Former Camp Military Office and senior military generals. He now regained his seriousness and keenness when doing things, spoke clearly and spoke concisely, and spoke faster.
After capturing Jinyang, the battle of Northern Han is sure to win.The current situation is reported to Gong in the east, and the Youzhou army retreated to the northeast; the Li Chuyun in the north, and the Liao army retreated to the north of Xinkou to station.After Guo Shao said that, he glanced at Wang Pu's face again.
Wang Pu owed his body, not daring to look directly at Guo Shao, looked at the ground and clasped his fists and said: The old minister is thinking about two strategies.
Guo Shao hurriedly said: The king's envoy said it's okay.
Wang Pu said: First, recruit surrender.He explained the righteousness, pros and cons to the Northern Han Dynasty, including the Xinzhou defenders, and made them surrender.The Northern Han Kingdom was destroyed, and even Jinyang could not stop the Great Zhou army. There were neither elite troops nor heroic cities in the cities. There was only one way to destroy the whole way of resistance, and there was no way to go except surrender to the Great Zhou.
Second, confrontation.
The Liao army guarded the northern pass, and the Great Zhou did not need to attack strongly, as long as the confrontation was consumed.
After Xinzhou surrendered, Li Chuyun's troops could have a city, and the rear was sent to the nearby area for food and supply, which took a year and a half without any impact.
The Liao army was different. The land north of Xinkou was even more barren and food was scarce. The army had no place to eat. The plunder of Daizhou and other places was easy to cause local Han generals to resist. They had to replenish supplies from the Liao Kingdom thousands of miles away... The Liao people had a lot of war horses, and horses could eat more than people. Leaving the grassland, they all rely on food supplies, which was very expensive.
They cannot confront us for a long time, either withdrawing their troops north or attacking south.
Liao was unstable, so there was no preparation for a long battle with our Great Zhou at this time. Jinyang had fallen into our hands, and it was no longer necessary for the Liao army to move south.
What's more, even if Yelu Xiuge goes south, the Great Zhou will be at the worst to fight with Jinyang and be invincible.
So just wait and see and confront, and consume food and grass.I think it will be only a matter of time before the Liao army withdraws.By then, the Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer be in blood and will recapture Daizhou and other places, and occupy the entire Hedong territory!
After hearing this, Guo Shao agreed with Wang Pu's plan and immediately said: Good!
Wang Pu said: With Your Majesty’s order, the old minister will issue a military order to Li Chuyun later with the order from the military palace.
Guo Shao’s current military and political handling procedures are very concentrated in power and lacks checks and balances, but they are very efficient.
Just like this, Wang Pu proposed a military and national event. Guo Shao's attitude was very clear. He even saved the opinions of others. He could make decisions on the spot and implement them immediately through the shogunate former camp military office.
This system is very useful during war periods, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Assuming that the monarch lacks control and Wang Pu wants to use public interest to manage his party members, it is too easy (the Privy Councilor of the Zhou Taizu period was too powerful and lacks checks and balances, and wanted to hold Taizu away).
Guo Shao also believes that after the breaking of Jinyang City, large-scale battles will no longer be needed.
Sometimes he felt that war was a kind of trend, and everyone would follow the trend... As Wang Pu judged, what kind of trend would the enemy and the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty follow.
At this moment, Wang Pu looked at the generals again and said: The Great Zhou army was not afraid of the Liao army, but now they fought with the Liao army in Hedong and did not get any results or benefits.Hedong is already the thing in our dynasty, and we cannot open up the territory through the war; the Liao army has also controlled passes such as Xinkou and Yanmen, and is dominated by horse soldiers. Even if we win, it will be difficult for us to win.
In a battle without profit, the best choice is not to fight.To fight against the Liao army, it is better to choose Youzhou!
After hearing this, the generals were moved and began to whisper and discuss.
Wang Pu said again: I am not saying that I will attack Youzhou now, and the Northern Expedition still requires preparations.
Guo Shao was also ready to feel moved for a moment. He had been in the Zhou army's imperial guards since the late emperor ascended the throne. Thinking about the Battle of Gaoping that year, the emperor led the main force of the imperial guards to fight in person. Although he won the battle with the Northern Han army, it was difficult to win. At first, he almost lost. Looking at the current field battle between Baigu and Yang Ye and the capture of Jinyang, the battle was very smooth... Guo Shao couldn't help but think that the current Zhou army's imperial guards had a greater combat power than a few years ago.
Recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.This is an existing tempting achievement for any Central Plains master!
However, when the early emperor made a northern expedition, he fought in southern Youzhou and Guo Shao also realized the strength of the Liao army.In this matter, we cannot underestimate the enemy.
At this time, Wang Pu submitted another memorial, which was a detailed article on the entire Northern Han Dynasty, the peace of the people, the garrison, etc.
Guo Shao was not very concerned. First, he believed that Wang Pu and others could handle these things well, and second, he was attracted by greater temptation at this time, which was Youzhou.
Guo Shao probably took a look at the main garrison.
Wang Pu suggested that the surrendered troops in Jinyang should be transferred from Longcheng, and then personnel were drawn from the mainland to guard the defense of Jinyang City, and the military power was divided and civil servants were appointed from the court to take charge of the main power... The Jinyang garrison was only for defense and no longer assumed the responsibility of sending troops to attack.
Guo Shao probably recognized Wang Pu's claim, which was mainly to weaken Jinyang's military capabilities... The main reason is that this city is very majestic, and can attack and retreat or defend. If it is made bigger, it will be a bit difficult to control.
After weakening, the control of the Hedong areas will be reclaimed. Jinyang cannot control the peripheral areas, so he will not be able to obtain resources to gain strength.
The generals said some specific things.Guo Shao then slapped the chair with a palm and stood up: Today's discussion ends, Wang Envoy and Zuo You followed me into the back hall, and the others scattered.
Everyone also bowed and stood in the hall and said: I wish to see you off.
Guo Shao invited Wang Pu and the others to discuss privately first and asked them to help judge the possibility of recapturing the Sixteen State of Youyun.
Wang Pu reminded: The great victory in Jinyang was unexpected, but Youzhou was not Jinyang. We should not be arrogant by taking advantage of the victory and should not underestimate the strength of the Liao Kingdom.
Guo Shao nodded seriously and said humbly: The King of Envoy reminded him that.
Wang Pu is a very particular person who speaks, generally does not flatter and will definitely say some unpleasant words every time, but those words will not anger Guo Shao, but will feel a sense of closeness. Moreover, Guo Shao speculated that if one thing is really done, Wang Pu will leave a way out for himself. After all, he has long reminded those who have been superior that he has not dereliction of duty as an important minister who assists the king.
Someone shouted: The emperor is here.Then suddenly a short sound: Drink!Two rows of soldiers wearing strong and sharp legs stepped on their feet and raised their cherry guns together.
Guo Shao walked towards the door with his sword and strode, and suddenly he found that the postures and expressions of the personal soldiers were very strange.
