The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 176: Dormant Standby

The world is in chaos, and heroes are competing for the battle. The Liao Kingdom has been destroyed in name only. Some people in the court thought that external troubles have been eliminated, so they could not suppress their ambition to fight for power and profit, and pointed their finger at Zhao Qi, who is in full swing. But there is another old saying, "I want to let you go."

Its demise must be crazy. Zhao Li's tactic of retreating to advance is the most appropriate choice at this moment. I remember how many years Jiang Ziya had fished by the river!

"Prince, since our army is going to adapt according to the order, where will it retreat?" Zhao Li turned to the prince and asked.

"Since you want to retreat thoroughly, we will withdraw from Hedong in full and leave it to them to play?" Zhao Qiong said with a loss. Although Zhao Li's words were obscure, he could hear that he was asking his bottom line and whether he would still interfere.

After several years of operation in Hedong, their power is not just a brave army on the surface, but its penetration of grassroots regimes and economics can completely affect the direction of the political situation. If they are willing, their ability to make some noise is still

some.

"Prince, what should we do with our supply base? Will we completely ignore it?" Zhao Zhi heard that the prince was about to withdraw completely and asked hurriedly that their military supply relied on Hedong's supply, and once the logistics were withdrawn,

The pressure will increase greatly. It is easy to say that other workshops are the most troublesome and most important. Materials can be bought at high prices, but there is no place to buy guns and cannons.

"Well, this question is well raised. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first!" Zhao Xiao smiled with praise, "The military supplies reserved by Shenghetang can be used by our Zhongyong Army and the Kru Army for two years, and the weapons can be re-equipped.

20,000 people, the military workshop in Shuozhou has begun production. If you have full production, you can produce 20,000 bullets a day and thousands of shells. The Taiyuan Military Workshop will gradually stop production except bullets and recover according to the situation. Master the core technology

The craftsmen were organized into the logistics department's baggage brigade and followed the army!"

"This is the best, so I don't have to worry about everyone's food and clothing!" Zhao Zhi smiled. The problem he was most worried about was solved.

"It's not that cheap, anyone can rest. You can't be idle. After the adaptation begins, you must quickly establish a supply station and hoard materials. Especially food, you must have surplus food when ensuring that the entire army will not be hungry for a year.

!” Zhao Xiao smiled and knew that war would be together, and the war would be in chaos. The land would be barren, and food would become the most in short supply and the most deadly thing.

"If we change to the military farming army, where will we garrison and how will the prince arrange so many people?" Zhao Meng also asked.

"Then where do you think it's best to stay?" Zhao Qiong asked back.

"Prince, since we are dormant and waiting for us, we should choose convenient transportation, which can be easily mobilized and replenished!" Zhao Meng said after thinking for a while.

"Well. I thought well. Everyone understands our future enemies. Now that Xijing is in our hands, after the war breaks out, the battle in the northwest will revolve around Datong and Taiyuan. Now that the Liao emperor is captured, Xixia is also

Will reconsider your situation, and may make small moves on our backs under the pressure and temptation of the Jurchens. So we may face a situation of fighting on both sides!" Zhao Qi said with a smile, but still no answer. He put the question again

Kicked to everyone.

"Now after two years of operation in Lingxia, it is very difficult for Xixia to resurrect the two places they recaptured. If they want to use their troops against them, they can only go to the Heishan Weifu Army Division, which is separated by the Mu Usu Desert and the Yellow River natural danger.

It is unlikely to directly use troops in the Hezhong area. The most likely thing is to compete with us for the Tiande Army of the Liao Kingdom and the Yunneizhou area. And there is now controlled by the Jurchens. If the Jurchens ceded the two states to Xixia, it would be just as the prince had

It is said to be very tempting!" Zhao Meng said.

"The problem is that Zhao Yong's Kruel army is now limited in strength and has a large territory. They cannot look west alone. The two states fall into the hands of the Xixia people. If we fight for it, we will fall into a passive position. At least we can't say it morally.

If the Xixia was left to them, the Xixia would stand at the south of Yinshan, which would hinder the future development of the Kru Army. It would be best if we took the lead and seized the two states from the Jurchens. Then strategically we would

The people of Xixia were on the initiative and had nothing to say, so they could only blame the Jurchens for lied to them again!" Zhao Li said.

"Well, this can solve the problem of Xixia well. There were two roads for the Jurchens to go south to Hedong. One was the main road from Datong to Shuozhou to Taiyuan; the other was the Lingqiu from Weizhou they controlled, and then from

Daizhou invaded Hedong. With Zhao Yong in Datong, they were difficult to get through, Daizhou became their only choice. It was not so easy to have Yisheng Army there to pass. It was no problem for their combat effectiveness to last for three days.

, the place that can be reached with the mobility of our loyal and brave army is Hezhong Road!" Zhao Meng said.

"Then our best garrison is the first line of Hezhong!" Zhao Qiong said.

"Yes, there is a natural danger to the Yellow River in Hezhong Road. There are many rivers, which can be attacked or defended. There are Yeli and Zhengchuan troops who are in good condition. Many of our army have soldiers who join the army from the river. Moving there can reduce resistance.

, which is conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army. There are buildings in Yincheng and Liangu, which is convenient for material purchase and sale. Moreover, the land is vast and sparse, and the land can be pasted or cultivated, which is also conducive to farming!" Zhao Meng replied.

"Well, we have considered it very comprehensively, so we chose to be in the river. There is one advantage you didn't expect, that is, our caravan has purchased a large amount of land there and has established a fortress. If you go there, you don't have to sleep in the wilderness.

, even if you want to move all your home there, there is no problem!" Zhao Qi said with a smile.

"The prince probably thought of the ups and downs of today, so he left a way out for us!" Zhao Yi looked at everyone and shook his head and smiled.

"Oh, the prince's vision and strategy are beyond my reach. I will never be able to escape from the prince's palm in my life!" Xu Biao looked at the prince with resentment and sighed.

"Haha, it's true that I want to take my wife and children over!" Sun Ji joked.

"Don't you want to? You'll drink some wine and yell at the child. Actually, who thinks they don't know who they think!" Xu Biao said with his neck twisted, "It's already noon now. After drinking tea for a long time, it's time to start eating?"

"Okay, eat and talk!" Zhao Qi smiled at the live treasure, because the general direction is set, and there are still many details that need to be agreed upon. If you continue, time is tight...

Three days later, the reorganization plan was formulated, but the scope of knowledge was limited to the top leaders of the Loyal and Brave Army. Whether this plan could be implemented still needs to be submitted and approved. While requesting the order, Zhao Qiong applied to return to Beijing again, which was not only

It is routine and a temptation.

The incident has been happening for ten days, but the reason for his sudden dismissal without warning has not been found out. Shunzi's return is also speculation that Liang Shicheng is behind it, but the prince and Jiawang seem to be involved in this incident, and the emperor

His attitude was not clear, so Zhao Qi wanted to use this method to see his father's attitude.

If he was asked to return to Beijing, then this matter was led by his father. But if he didn't let himself go back, then it was Liang Shicheng and his group of people who were troubled. They were still afraid of him and stayed outside.

The prince without soldiers and power is the most comfortable thing for them, that is, he can avoid revenge on them, and he will lose another opponent for the reserve!

But no matter who caused this, Zhao Qiong was very disappointed because no one could dismiss him without his father's consent, which means that his father was already wary of him. Zhao Qiong also knew very well that he had been in the past two years.

What he did was a bit fierce, but what could he do? War was imminent, and he just wanted his chances of winning...

Since Zhao Qiong came to this world, he has been worried about this matter. He knew that regardless of whether he came or not, the outbreak of the Song and Jin war was inevitable. Some people attributed the reason for the outbreak of the Song and Jin war to Ma Zhi's suggestions and Tong Guan's greed.

Zhao Ji was very happy about his achievements, but from Zhao Qi's perspective, things are not that simple.

The fundamental reason for the war is also the nature of the regimes on both sides. Although the centralized regime of the feudal landlord class dictatorship in Song Dynasty was corrupt and declining, it was still arrogant, conservative and greedy; the aristocratic regime of the slave-owner class dictatorship in Jin Dynasty was extremely robbed to the outside world

Plundering ambitions and expanding into nature. The power between the two regimes is uneven, and conflicts between the two sides are inevitable, which leads to a war.

In addition, all the military and political power of the Song Dynasty was highly concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Although Zhao Ji advocated Taoism, indulged in amusement and political corruption, he was smart and not confused. He upheld the will of his ancestors and actively consolidated the Song regime, hoping to take advantage of the decline of the Liao regime.

Adopting the strategy of Ma Zhilian Jin to destroy Liao and recover Yan Yun, there is nothing wrong with the adoption and implementation of this strategic decision. Even if the Song regime does not jointly attack Liao with Jin, the demise of Liao regime will inevitably be inevitable. Song, Jin

War will happen sooner or later. In fact, the Song army did not play much role in the demise of the Liao regime.

If Yan was recovered, after the Yun area, the Song regime also expected the possible conflict with the Jin Kingdom, adopted some measures and carried out active defense work in many aspects. It tried its best to recover Yan in military and diplomatic terms, and Yun lost its territory.

With this goal, we have sent troops to capture Yanjing twice, and have surrendered Dong Cai and accommodated Zhang Jue for this purpose.

.

However, military was not as good as others, and both attacks on Yanjing failed. So he turned to diplomatic activities, increased the annual monies to Jin Xu, paid Yanjing's service money, and repeatedly asked the Jin side to return Pingzhou and Xijing land, but failed to do so.

To achieve the goal of regaining Pingzhou and Xijing and other places, and to recover Yan, part of Yun's plan failed, and the activities in Pingzhou gave people an excuse to attack.

This shows that the corruption of the Song Dynasty rule reached a certain level, and no matter how good the strategy was, it could not be implemented correctly and put into practice. Zhao Qi tried his best to make the war come later and prepare more fully, but he still failed and could only watch it quietly.

It has changed... (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
