Chapter 148: Qingzhou Strategy
Chapter 148 Qingzhou Strategy
Zhang Xingba rushed to Meng Yan like a whirlwind, then turned over and got off the horse and knelt on one knee and replied: "Your Highness, Kawabara's victory!"
Meng Yan's face was gloomy and he was so depressed that he didn't want to talk. Park Sanzhi, who was standing behind Meng Yan, stepped forward and asked, "Has the Western Legion really taken down Kawahara?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xingba responded loudly, "General asked Bei Zhi to tell His Highness and all the lords that our Western Legion is invincible, and the Mingyue bandits fled to the sight of the wind. Now Kawahara Castle has been trampled under our feet!"
After hearing Zhang Xingba's words, Meng Yan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Meng Hu was clearly showing off his nakedness!
Zheng Chongguang and Le Yu were also shocked. The two did not expect Kawahara City to be taken down so soon. However, they did not expect Situ Rui to be so "unsuccessful" this time and actually gave up Kawahara directly. What made the two even more jealous was that Meng Hu had picked up the top achievements of this Western Expedition so easily!
That's a top skill, it's really deadly!
Meng Hu made a military order in public, and Meng Yan also spoke in public in the name of the supreme commander. As long as Meng Hu could take Kawahara within ten days, the first merit of this Western Expedition was his. Now, just eight days have passed, Meng Hu really took Kawahara. The first merit of this Western Expedition is naturally his.
Meng Yan suddenly groaned and walked straight away.
Shi Miyuan hurriedly followed, and it seemed that he was following Meng Yan to explain.
Pu Sanzhi frowned and ordered his accompanying staff to take Zhang Xingba down to rest, and then rushed to Meng Yan's headquarters. Zheng Chongguang and Le Yu had their own thoughts, and now they returned to their own tents and did not mention them.
In the temporary headquarters, Meng Yan was indeed angry at Shi Miyuan.
"Shi Miyuan is all good ideas from you. Why do you ask the Western Legion to take the front of the front and let Situ Rui's army take over the dumplings of the Western Legion? Now, the old Situ Rui is a turtle who has been hunched and gave up Kawahara before he fought. I have spoken in public. As long as Meng Hu takes Kawahara within ten days, the top achievement of the Western Expedition is his. What should I do now? Ah, do you let me follow my words? Or do you really give this skill to that country bumpkin?"
Shi Miyuan, who was facing Meng Yan's back, looked gloomy, but there was a clear sneer on the corner of his mouth.
However, when Shi Miyuan turned to face Meng Yan, his face regained a flattering smile and said calmly: "Your Highness, this is a complete accident. Who would have expected that Situ Rui, the old fox, would give up Kawahara before he fought? It seems that after several consecutive defeats, the Mingyue Empire Army has become a frightened bird, and is vulnerable again."
Meng Yan said angrily: "Now what we are talking about the Western Legion and that country bumpkin, not Situ Rui and his mob."
Shi Miyuan smiled flatteringly and said, "This is actually one thing. Because Situ Rui's army has become a mob, the Western Legion took Kawahara City without a battle, but this does not mean anything. There is a prerequisite for the Western Legion to win the first prize, that is, it must shoot Kawahara with real swords and guns, rather than picking up an empty city like now!"
Meng Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Well, that's it!"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to do this?"
As Meng Yan finished speaking, Pu Sanzhi had already stepped forward to the headquarters and opposed anxiously, "Your Highness is the supreme commander of the Western Expedition Army. You should always say what you say and do what you want to do. How can you do such a thing without trust? If you really do this, you should deal with it according to what Mr. Miyuan said. Not only will General Meng Hu and the 100,000 soldiers of the Western Expedition Army feel chilled, but even other soldiers of the Western Expedition Army will feel chilled."
"Pu Sanzhi!"
Shi Miyuan frowned and shouted coldly, "What do you mean by saying this? Your Highness is so talented. How should you deal with this matter be scrupulous? Is it necessary for you to teach me?"
"you……"
Park Sanzhi was very anxious and pointed at Shi Miyuan for a moment but didn't know how to refute it.
In terms of wisdom, Pu Sanzhi is not as good as Shi Miyuan, and in terms of eloquence, it is even worse. Shi Miyuan choked Park Sanzhi for a long time with just one sentence.
Meng Yan frowned and said, "Okay, both gentlemen are Xiao Wang's think tanks, so don't argue about this little thing. As for the Western Legion, follow Mr. Miyuan's proposal to handle the matter. You can remember great achievements to Meng Hu and all the soldiers of the Western Legion, but it is definitely not the first achievements. After all, they have not fought and just occupied an empty city. If they really get the first achievements, I am afraid that the other four legions will not be convinced."
Seeing that Meng Yan had made a decision, Pu Sanzhi sighed sadly and stopped saying anything more.
Shi Miyuan smiled flatteringly and praised Meng Yan for his wise thoughts, but when he glanced at Pu Sanzhi from the corner of his eyes, he felt inexplicably cold. He thought that this guy was very trusted by Meng Yan. If he wanted to accomplish something in the future, he would probably not be able to avoid him. It seems that he had to find a way to get him away or get rid of him, so he could not ruin his own major affairs.
Meng Yan paused, and then said: "Two gentlemen, Situ Rui's army of more than 200,000 became frightened. He was frightened by Meng Hu, a new recruit army, and fled without fighting. This was an unexpected unexpected situation. What do you think about this? And should the established strategy of fighting for the Western Expedition be made accordingly? After all, the emperor's uncle is far away in Luojing and he doesn't know the specific situation on the front line."
A cold light suddenly flashed through Shi Miyuan's eyes, thinking that Meng Yan was preparing to overthrow Meng Ke's Qingzhou strategy!
Pu Sanzhi was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, the prince has repeatedly weighed the strategy of Qingzhou with Prime Minister Cao and Master Ye of the Ministry of War. It is no problem to occupy Qingzhou with the current strength of the empire, but it is difficult to destroy the Mingyue Empire. Therefore, I believe that this Western Expedition should be unswervingly implemented the strategy of Qingzhou formulated by the prince."
Specifically, Meng Yuan’s Qingzhou strategy formulated by Meng Ke is a great strategy. The core content is to take advantage of the empty national strength of the Mingyue Empire to attack Qingzhou, first insert a sharp knife at the soft spot of the Mingyue Empire's waist, and then after three to five years of rest and accumulation, then use Qingzhou as a springboard to launch a fatal blow to Zhongzhou!
As long as Zhongzhou is taken down, the entire Mingyue Empire will be cut into two pieces in half.
Because the territory shape of the Mingyue Empire is different from that of the Glorious Empire, the territory shape of the Glorious Empire is more like a circular sun. The Glorious Province is at the center of the empire. The eight major provinces surround the eight directions of the Glorious Province like stars arching the moon, and are more like octagonal guards guarding the Glorious.
The territory of the Mingyue Empire is more like a crescent moon. Zhongzhou and Qingzhou are in the middle of this bright moon. As long as the Guanghui Empire captures Qingzhou and Zhongzhou, the remaining seven states of the Mingyue Empire will be cut into two pieces in half and fall into a dilemma of being unable to take care of each one. In this way, the Guanghui Empire will easily defeat them and annex them separately.
Judging from the current situation, the Qingzhou strategy formulated by Mengyuan is very terrible. If Meng Yan unswervingly implements this strategy, as long as there are no major natural disasters or man-made disasters, at least ten or thirty years, the Mingyue Empire will definitely perish. Even if the Galaxy Empire drags back, it will not change such an ending.
The reason why Meng Hu and Qi Diaozi tried their best to induce Meng Yan to change the established Qingzhou strategy was that they also foresaw this terrible result. If the Glorious Empire really allowed to unify the Middle Earth world, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Meng Hu. Meng Hu did not want his enemy to be a super empire with a total population of over 100 million and a perverted power!
The reason why Qiu Yutang shows that the situation in the Moon Empire is very serious is that she also foresaw this result.
However, as the Moon King of the Mingyue Empire, Qiu Yutang would never watch the Guanghui Empire implement the Qingzhou strategy in an orderly manner. The Mingyue Empire's entire line contraction is only temporary. After the strong contraction, it will inevitably fight back with all its strength. The situation is like a bow, which will first accumulate strength and then rebound. As for the ultimate bounce of the Guanghui Empire back to the east of Qingyun Mountain, or the bow of the Mingyue Empire completely collapsed, it was unpredictable for Qiu Yutang.
Of course, Pu Sanzhi did not have such a superb strategic vision. The reason why he firmly opposed Meng Yan's change of strategy was entirely due to his loyalty to the empire. He instinctively realized that the Qingzhou strategy formulated by Meng Ke must be a great strategy, and it would be very dangerous for Meng Yan to change the established strategy without authorization.
After hearing Pu Sanzhi's words, Meng Yan's brows frowned.
Shi Miyuan laughed in his heart. In terms of loyalty, he may not be as good as the aide of the army in the army. But when it comes to his understanding of Meng Yan, Pu Sanzhi is far inferior to Shi Miyuan. No matter what, Shi Miyuan is Meng Yan's teacher and confidant aide, and he will become a famous and transcendent imperial teacher in the future!
When Meng Yan opened his mouth, Shi Miyuan knew what he was thinking, and even more so what he wanted to do.
Sure enough, as soon as Park Sanzhi finished speaking, Shi Miyuan immediately retorted: "Mr. Sanzhi's words are wrong. The Qingzhou strategy formulated by the prince is based on the fact that the Mingyue Empire Army has considerable resistance. But the current situation is that the Mingyue Empire Army has no fighting spirit after being defeated continuously and is simply vulnerable."
"This can be seen from the Battle of Kawabara. Situ Rui's army of more than 200,000 were frightened by the 100,000 new recruits in the Western Legion. What does this mean? This shows that the morale of the Mingyue Empire has completely collapsed, and they are already a mob! In this case, it seems a bit conservative to destroy the Mingyue Empire in three steps according to the Qingzhou strategy formulated by the prince. It is completely possible to take advantage of the situation and take the lead in Zhongzhou and complete the first two steps of the entire Qingzhou strategy together. No, it should be feasible!"
"Well said!"
Meng Yan beat the emperor hard and said generously, "If the emperor knew the specific situation here, he would definitely agree to Xiao Wang's revision of the strategy. Moreover, Xiao Wang only completed the second step of the entire Qingzhou strategy of the emperor in advance. It is not completely denying the emperor's Qingzhou strategy. What do you think Mr. Sanzhi?"
"This...is it a letter to the prince by sending a letter to the bird?"
