Father, don't!

Said: "I will give you the rank of general, and I will also give you all the authority to deploy and command Zhaohe Palace." The emperor looked at me and said: "I give you the defense, just to ask you to make some mistakes, so that Liu Cheng felt that I hadn't noticed his rebellion at all, and instead started to be arrogant and let down his vigilance. If in my hands, there was a sudden flaw in the defense of a place like Showa Palace, he would inevitably suspect that it was a trap, and the gain outweighed the loss. "

Now that my father has already thought of a plan, and there is nothing wrong with it, I can't say anything else.What happened next was the real deployment of the emperor. At present, Liu Cheng has the troops in the northeast and southwest, but even so, Liu Cheng only has half a tiger talisman in his hand.If all the generals in the court lead the army to go out, firstly, it depends on the imperial decree of troop deployment, and secondly, it is the tiger charm of troop troop deployment. If Liu Cheng really wants to mobilize the border army, it is very unreliable, not only the long distance from the border gate to the capital. No matter how many minions he has and how long his hands are, without the imperial decree to mobilize troops and only have tiger charms, he will not only be unable to open the city gate, but he will probably have to be shot as a hedgehog under the city gate.

So my father and I have already determined that if Liu Cheng wants to make trouble, he must use his Liu family's own army.The army is full of people who follow Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng has already placed his own heirs in important positions.At present, as long as he waved his hand, Liu Cheng's department close to the capital would immediately surround him, and then concubine Xiao Gui would kill his father. I estimated that Liu Cheng might even have prepared the imperial edict by then.

But who this imperial edict is for is no longer something that my father and I want to think about.No matter who it was for, Liu Chengcheng would not treat himself badly after such a big fight.Then, when Liu Cheng surrounded the capital, on the one hand, he delayed the rescue of the capital by the troops on all sides, and on the other hand, he probably contacted the soldiers and horses of those vassal states in the Western Regions.Before the emperor's grandfather died that year, he was worried about these people from the Western Regions, and almost all the troops were suppressed in the Western Regions.The same army also made Liu Cheng, who was rebellious, not at ease. No matter what, he would hold back the northwest army on the day of the rebellion.

Based on the above points, my father and I thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision.But before that, my father also asked me very carefully: "Which camp are you at the border?" I said without any concealment: "The Northwest camp is not stationed in the northwest, but outside the Great Wall in the northeast." The emperor was startled, and immediately did not understand: "Why is the Northwest Camp stationed outside the Northeast Great Wall?"

I smiled and said: "It's not like changing defenses a few years ago. Liu Cheng seems to be afraid that the guarding generals in various places will find out that he has not changed Liu's army for a long time, so he often transfers part of this army to another army. , so that the generals can’t recognize the subordinates, and the subordinates can’t find the generals.” Why did the father turn pale when he heard this, but he couldn’t say anything, after all, he could only change the house with his consent. It may be that Liu Cheng played this trick really well. Every time he wrote the booklet, he didn't mention the military number of the army, but directly wrote which commander and how many people were replaced and which commander had how many people. It was just such a word game.Fortunately, this kind of deployment is really rare, and most of them are unimportant troops. If the ace's main force is transferred in this way, the father would be a fool if he couldn't see it.

"So, you used to be stationed in the northwest." After understanding the reason, the emperor was wise not to dwell on this question, but asked me about it.Of course, I didn't need to hide anything from my father. I said honestly right away: "Yes, most of the roads in the Western Regions are deserts, and there is a serious shortage of water. It is very difficult to survive there."

The royal father's face suddenly turned ugly: "Hmph, don't those countries in the Western Regions do what they want with this kind of natural barrier? Since the founding of the country, I have encouraged business. The waterways in the south and the dry roads in the west are important. At present, all the princes and states in the Western Regions are restless. This is not only a loss for the country, but the key point is that it has violated the heavenly power of our dynasty! What is it that a country can't even keep its own businessmen!" said In the end, Emperor Father could be described as thunderous and furious, but I didn't make a sound.I know that the chaos in the Western Regions, when I was born as a scout in the Western Regions, I haven't seen the wreckage of the merchants who were ambushed.

But how difficult it must be to travel unimpeded on the yellow sandy land of the Western Regions.After thinking about it, I finally said softly: "If the father wants to attack the Western Regions, then the best time is when Liu Cheng rebels." Hearing what I said, the father suddenly looked at me in surprise and said: "To the Western Regions!" Do it?"

I nodded: "My son's thinking is very simple. Since they are so dishonest after recruiting the countries of the Western Regions, they can simply be eliminated to save trouble. And the countries of the Western Regions are not only attacking me, but those who came from afar There must be some merchants in their hands. The treasuries of the countries in the Western Regions must be full of profits." I smiled evilly, and my father was stunned, and it took a long time before he coughed, unnaturally Turning his head away, he said, "You mean..."

"It's very simple. If the father of Liu Cheng is very sure that he can take it here, let the Northwest Army hold back the invading Western Region army. It's very simple, as long as the city is defended." I looked at the wall of the father's book pavilion. He grabbed his father's hand and dragged him under the map, and pointed to him: "Once the Northwest Army drags down the Western Regions army, as long as Liu Cheng is defeated in the middle of the court, the army that defeated Liu Cheng does not have to go back, just take the road." Go to the Western Regions and unite with the Northwest Army to directly take down the main force of the Western Regions." Father looked at the map I was pointing at, and followed the direction my hand pointed to look at the relationship between the capital and the Western Regions.I followed and said: "If you want to come to the Western Regions, if you have an alliance with Liu Cheng, you should know that if you want to invade the Central Plains, you must travel a long distance. My journey is easy from the capital to the Western Regions, as long as you go down the river. But if the Western Regions invade the Central Plains, it doesn't matter. Whether it is a dry road around the mountain or a waterway upstream, it can only be slow and fast."

Father looked at what I said, thought about it carefully, and began to draw on the map himself. He finally thought about it and said, "San'er, continue." I nodded and said, "Liu Cheng's plan is Shangyuan. In the festival, the grain harvests in various places have been completed, and unfortunately, the roads leading to the Western Regions are mostly forests and mountains, and there are almost no important towns, which means that when the Western Regions invade the Central Plains, they will not get any supplies. "Father understood what I meant in an instant, and I immediately laughed: "As long as we get Liu Cheng done, we will notify the Northwest Army to let the troops from the Western Regions in on the one hand, and then close the gates of the city, and then a group of surprise soldiers will come in." I am lying in ambush on the road they must pass through. I think I am going to ambush them back and forth, and then they will pursue them. The army in the Western Regions is not good at fighting in the mountains and forests. It should not be too difficult to eat them." At this time, the father had already thought of my intention, and he said: "You Do you want to use this ambush army to quickly annihilate the army of the Western Regions, grab their supplies and send them back to the Western Regions?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, and I still want to wear their clothes, cheat their checkpoints and city gates, and use their materials to destroy them." I pointed to the Western Regions, and it was not difficult to find the Almost all the countries of the Western Regions are on the same line, and this line is the river on which the countries of the Western Regions depend for their survival.But this river flows from our country to them, otherwise it would have been taken advantage of by this group of thieves.

Father looked at me with clear eyes, looked at the map carefully, thought about my plan back and forth, and nodded: "It's feasible, it's totally feasible! As long as we fight along this river, the momentum of breaking bamboo will be unstoppable! "But the father still frowned and said: "If this is the case, what should you do if the speed of your attack and march is too fast, and the logistics supplies can't keep up?"

I laughed. Before the army moved, we had to think about food and grass. How could I ignore him?I approached my father and said softly: "I think the troops that invaded the Western Regions must be cavalry for speed. We also use cavalry. As long as we capture the first country, we will immediately collect all the food and grass, and directly use cavalry. The lightning is too fast to cover the ears, and the next country will be conquered." Hearing this, the royal father took a deep breath. "If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in the Western Regions after this battle."

In the plan, these small countries in the Western Regions were originally intended to be eliminated. In this way, there will be no countries in the Western Regions within a hundred years.And after the cavalry crossed the border, the Northwest Army would also follow up and wipe out these seriously injured countries. "Father, you once asked your ministers how to deal with barbarians."

After hearing my words, father said: "Yes, you answered my three proposals at that time." I nodded and said, "Although the plan to destroy the household is too vicious, if you really want to keep my century-old foundation stable To develop, we have to do this! The barbarians can still use commercialization to transform their barbarism and assimilate their fighting spirit. But we must not be lenient in dealing with these countries in the Western Regions! The Western Regions are large and the environment is harsh. It is a great threat, and if someone colludes with others, it will definitely make me suffer from the enemy." Immediately, I tried my best to persuade my father: "My son's plan is to let the cavalry first "use war to support war" to seize the material. Conquer the next country, and the Northwest Army will immediately destroy the household!"

The author has something to say: Uh huh... Li Shimin's method of using war to support war is our best method of cavalry to fight quickly. Near the Persian Gulf, they have never returned to the Western Regions until now.
