Chapter 546: Breaking the fog and clouds open

5days ago traverse Novels 2
In the Jinxiang Hall in Tokyo, the lights swayed, but outside the window was pitch black.

At this time, it is easy for people to have the illusion that they are still in the middle of the night, but it is indeed in the morning; people get up early, and after the winter season begins, the day is short and the night is long, and the dawn is even later.

Report to Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived.A eunuch said in a voice.

Guo Shao turned around and looked at it. The eunuch on duty today was Wang Zhong, the fat and white eunuch.

Guo Shao has never liked this eunuch in terms of personal likes and dislikes. At first, he met in Huainan. Wang Zhong was the confidant of the late emperor Chai Rong. He was a little distant from Guo Shao, and he had a bad impression of preconceived thoughts... Then Wang Zhong's voice sounded too feminine to Guo Shao, and seemed to be a little coquettish; after all, he was not a beauty, so this tone sounded a little uncomfortable.

But Guo Shao still let him sit in a high position in the provincial eunuch.

Because Wang Zhong had experience and ability among eunuchs; his actions also proved that he was more reliable, and he was successful in intending to join him early.

Eunuchs are no longer the situation where the Tang Dynasty could abolish the emperor. Most of the emperors today are martial artists, much more cruel than eunuchs... At this time, eunuchs had no power in military and political affairs. Their status was not about what position they had, but whether they could appear in front of the emperor; because their life, death and power all depended on the emperor's words.

Wang Zhong’s ability to serve in front of the Emperor of Jinxiang Palace was Guo Shao’s value.

Guo Shao will basically not consider his likes and dislikes when he uses people to do serious things; if he only considers his preferences, he should be surrounded by beauties.

I see.Guo Shao said a word.

Wang Zhong bent down and stepped back from the door, saying no more.

Guo Shao did not take airs and deliberately let the ministers go, but he cleaned up his ideas again before going to see the ministers... This kind of discussion that gets together is mostly not about what is really discussing, but about communication and decision-making; most of the real considerations and weighing are prepared privately.

There are all kinds of new notes on the walls, with many people's names written on them; the messy files and paper on the table are written on them, with sloppy circles and lines.

Guo Shao rubbed his temples, and today's discussions should not be delayed for too long.

Guo Shao stood up and walked out of the secret room. The eunuch Wang Zhong calmly locked the door with the lock.

At this time, the sky was not bright and the wind was very small. There was no mosquito chirping in winter, and the surroundings were shrouded in silence.But this silence is not tranquility, as if waiting for the arrival of the surging wind and clouds in an impatient manner.

I will bow to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live forever.The crowd rested on the ground, and the voices were very neat.It immediately brought changes to the disorderly and quiet atmosphere.

Everyone, they sat down and said.Guo Shao walked to the chair in the upper seat and sat down.

Everyone also stood up and returned to the place where they sat, and then they were silent, all of them being so calm that they were unwilling to speak first.At this time, Guo Shao knew that it was time to say a few words.

He said: The Privy Council may order Fu Zhaoxu to stop harassing the Northern Han border.Now it is coming to the twelfth lunar month, and there are many festivals on the twelfth lunar month. During the Chinese New Year and the festival, we will still harass all over the Northern Han Dynasty, which is easy to lose the hearts of the people in Hedong.I thought it was time to stop.

More than ten civil and military people agreed.

Although Wang Pu, Li Chuyun and others at the front had different expressions, they were thinking.

Don’t fight during the festival?

This reason is indeed a bit of a play, but no one argues with the emperor, just trying to figure out the mystery.

Guo Shao first considered the arrangement for Fu Zhaoxu who had completed the assignment.

He continued: Fu Zhaoxu has won the enemy this time and has made many military achievements. The Privy Council can recall him to reward him according to his merits.I see Fu Zhaoxu knows the general and is calm. When I personally marched to the army early next year, Fu Zhaoxu could stay in Tokyo. What do you think?

I will discuss it with you.No one will easily oppose the emperor's will.

Guo Shao said again: After Fu Zhaoxu left, Zhang Guanghan (the commander of the left wing of Long Jie Army) and Liu Renzhan, Lin Renzhao and others may not be able to work together.The Privy Council also issued a military order, ordering Zhang Guanghan's troops to station in Liaozhou; Liu Renzhan's troops returned to Luzhou to station, waiting for the order to transfer... The war against Northern Han was quelled for a while.

Wang Pu said: The old minister follows the order.

With the chaotic analysis and planning, the deployment ideas in my mind seem to have settled.At this moment, Guo Shao finally found the rhythm of war, and his mood gradually faded away.

The battle he likes to fight the most is to take the initiative... Only by taking the initiative can he control the speed and level of speed by himself, and his mood gradually calmed down and calmed down.

At this time, Wei Renpu stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Privy Council has drafted a strategy for military use and is about to present to Your Majesty."

Guo Shao immediately said: These are all important officials of the court. Deputy Envoy Wei will tell everyone about it for you to consider.

Look.Wei Renpu walked up and took out a thick and conspicuous picture and hung it on the wooden frame on the side. Then he bowed to each other.

Wei Renpu stood up straight and said calmly: Northern Han Kingdom is no longer allowed to exist in the world, and there is no need to play a game and discuss peace.The plan for this battle was to erase the Northern Han Kingdom and incorporate it into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at Wei Renpu.Guo Shao also likes to listen to him talk about military and national affairs. Wei Renpu can always show a strong demeanor.

Wei Renpu stretched out his big hand in his sleeve and pointed to the picture and said: If you want to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, there is only one place: Jinyang.

There are several barriers to protect Jinyang in the Northern Han Dynasty: First, Jinyang City itself has experienced the management of warlords of the vassal states and is one of the few heroic cities in the world.

Moreover, the people in Hedong are fierce and aggressive, and the soldiers have experienced a long battle.

Therefore, it is difficult to quickly draw this city.

Second, the road to Jinyang was threatened by the Northern Han army.

The terrain of Hedong is in the shape of a "Sichuan", and the best road to take is nothing more than a flat corridor between mountains, one is from Jinzhou (Linfen) along the Fen River; the other is to walk through the corridor of Luzhou (near Changping).

The Northern Han Dynasty had long been deployed. Qinzhou is in Taiyue Mountain. The valley road can threaten the grain road from east to west; Fenzhou threaten the Fenwater and land roads; Longzhou threaten the east and west.

Third, the Liao army's foreign aid.The Liao army may have two routes, from the grasslands in the north, and it is best to go to the Xin and Dai basins; the Youzhou army headed south from the northeast.

However, the weaknesses of the Northern Han Kingdom are also very obvious, with two points: First, the troops are weak and they have to defend Jinyang with all their strength, which will result in insufficient troops elsewhere, making it difficult to take the initiative to attack and harass them.Second, the Liao army's rescue road was too far and the food and supplies were insufficient.

Guo Shao nodded in agreement, but fortunately Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others came up with advice.

Wei Renpu bowed to Guo Shao, looked back and continued: Therefore, our strategy is to use our own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.The Great Zhou had the greatest advantage over the Northern Han Dynasty, and its military strength far exceeded that of the Northern Han Dynasty.Therefore, my ministers and others believe that they should use the advantage of the number of troops to avoid repeated wars, saying, "Press up the wings and only take the heart."

The first step was to leave Liaozhou and go straight to Jinyang, forcing the main force of Northern Han to retreat to the city and control the situation first.

The second step is to clamp.

The main force of the army followed, divided into Jinzhou and Luzhou, and divided the troops to attack Qinzhou, Fenzhou and Longzhou, forcing the outer forces of the Northern Han Army back to the city and pinned the local area.

In addition, the partial army attacked Shizhou in the northwest; and ordered Yang Chongxun, the governor of Linzhou in the north, to threaten Lanzhou and other places.

The third step is to block the support.Be prepared for the Liao army in Youzhou.He advanced from Jinyang all the way to Xinzhou to prevent the Liao army from leaving Xin and entering the aid.

Finally, the main siege attacked Jinyang.At this time, Jinyang became an isolated city, so he surrounded it to death and attacked the city in peace.As long as Jinyang is eliminated, all the roads will be determined without fighting.

After hearing this, Guo Shao said: If you have different opinions on the other party, you can write a letter within three days; and then make a decision in three days.

At this time, the window had already become bright. The side hall located on the east side of Jinxiang Hall faced the Chaoyang. The whole room was covered with a layer of light yellow light.
