Chapter 311 Northwest Wolf Brothers
The strategy of the decisive battle between the north and the south is still highly confidential. Although the emperor has been in charge of the northern border for four months, the invasion of the northern border also confirmed that the emperor's prediction of the situation in the north and the south four months ago was very accurate, but in terms of the current imperial crisis, the empire did not have the strength to block hundreds of thousands of northern borders outside the country's gates, nor did it have the ability to resist the large-scale attack of hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the control of the royal cavalry. Therefore, four months ago, the emperor rushed to the northern border regardless of everything, and used his own and the safety of the central government to force the political forces in the eastern capital and the western capital to make concessions, forcing the imperial military, the aristocratic groups of the empire and the local forces in the empire to make compromises while engaging in political confrontation with the central government, and do his best to give the northern border the greatest military support.
The facts are cruel. Whether it is the fierce political conflicts in the empire or the extreme economic embarrassment, the emperor's plan has not been realized in the past four months. His vision is too wishful thinking, which has also led to his loss of confidence in the decisive battle between the north and the south.
The same is true for Galan. His confidence in the decisive battle between the north and the south is getting less and less. Especially when he learned from Chijishi Ashinaduna and Ashinatich, son of Dayehu, that Shibi Khan gathered nearly 300,000 string control knights invading in the desert this time. He was shocked. He underestimated the development speed of the northern desert barbarians, and as a result made a wrong judgment on the situation in the north and south.
Is the Northern Gate Army that invaded Middle-earth? This number must be exaggerated. Just like when the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the first Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the real main army was only more than 300,000, and most of the rest were chores with the army and civilians who transported baggage. The same is true for the Northern Gate Army. There are a large number of slaves in its army. These slaves are either responsible for raising horses and other chores, or driving the flocks to follow along to ensure the supply of food in the army. Therefore, their real main force should be around 100,000. However, with the strength of the Northern Gate Army today, it cannot compete with the 100,000 Northern Gate.
Jialan is very clear about this, but he has no room for "retreat". He only has one way to go to the black. Now the emperor is in the northern border, in the Fenyang Palace in the northern Taiyuan. He is ambitious to fight the life and death with the Northern Territory and make a big bet with the future of the empire. For this reason, Jialan has no other way except to go forward.
After repeated weighing the pros and cons, Galan resolutely made a major decision. He wanted to throw all the troops in Yanbei into the decisive battle field, and he wanted to sing an empty city plan in Yanbei.
This is the only way to do nothing. He had only 134 regiments in his hands. 26,800 people were 20,000 people; and the number of the Daibei Army was only about 20,000; beside the emperor, the main guards of the left and right Yiwei Mansion, was the Xiaoguo Army, and there were only more than 20,000 people. The imperial army was at a disadvantage in terms of number, which led to the empire's hope of winning in the decisive battle. Therefore, in this case, the Yanbei Army had to abandon the security of Yanbei. Sending all the troops to the decisive battle arena. If you look forward to the front and take into account both, the result would inevitably be that both would be lost.
At the end of July, Galan secretly summoned the northwest wolf brothers such as Buyi to tell their ideas and asked them to implement their plans immediately.
In Yanbei, the only one who knows the decisive battle strategy of the North and South is the Northwest Wolf Brothers. They are the people Galan trust the most and the best executor for Galan to implement this strategy.
At this moment, the Northwest Wolf Brothers also had no confidence in the decisive battle between the north and the south. The northern desert was the east. The Turks and Tiel people were the world, and the combat capabilities of the Turks and Tiel people were famous all over the world. Today, they went south with 300,000 controls. Even when the imperial northern border was at its peak, they could not guarantee to block the northern territory. Therefore, from the actual situation, the best way for the empire at present was to give up Daibei, Dingxiang and Mayi.
Most of the territory of Yanmen County gave up the Great Wall defense line and concentrated the northern border garrison forces on Taiyuan and Yanmen. Then, they used the depth of Daibei thousands of miles away from the northern barbarians, and then used Juzhu Fortress and other Daiyu to cut off the northern barbarians' pace of going south. When the northern barbarians robbed Daibei, various tribes developed a desire to evacuate and their morale gradually dissipated, the empire launched a counterattack again, so that there was hope to recover Daibei in late autumn and even early winter and rebuild the Great Wall defense line.
This is the most reliable defensive strategy. Although the price paid is very high, both politically and economically, it is successful in military terms, and it has achieved the greatest result at the minimum price. It can be foreseeable that the generals of the Imperial Army and the commander of the Northern Army of the Northern Army will inevitably choose this defensive strategy. The emperor and the Central Committee will also accept this strategy due to reality. It was precisely because of their own advantages and the dilemma of domestic and foreign troubles that the Northern Barbarians foresaw the development of the war and believed that they could also exchange the greatest result at the minimum price, so they dared to go south and invade. If the Northern Barbarians foresee that the two sides would fight to the death and fight both sides, Shibi Khan and Yazan would never launch the Civil War.
"Galan, what should I do if I am defeated?" Westward traveling raised objections to the Northwest Wolf Brothers, "If His Majesty defeats in the decisive battle, we lose Yanbei again, causing all the northern borders to fall into the enemy, who will bear this guilt?"
Galan hesitated and said nothing. If the decisive battle was defeated, history would still move forward according to its inherent trajectory, then the empire would collapse, Middle-earth would be shrouded in darkness, and all efforts would become meaningless.
"The emperor and the central government cannot bear the huge losses caused by defeat, so they have to fight to the death at any cost. Even if they cannot defeat the Beilu, they will still fight with the Beilu and completely destroy the Beilu. The intention is to take advantage of the empire's weak conspiracy to invade our Middle Earth."
Galan spoke slowly and explained. The emperor was defeated in the decisive battle, which meant that the empire's reform forces would be completely politically defeated, the emperor and the central government would be completely lost, the aristocratic groups and local forces would take advantage of the situation, and the empire would collapse quickly. This is the reason why the emperor and the central government rushed to the northern border and decided to fight to the death with the Northern Territory. The victory or defeat of this battle actually directly determined the future fate of the Middle Earth, the Empire, the emperor and the reform forces headed by him.
"A man devoted all his strength to Yanbei to the battlefield of decisive battle is equivalent to showing his loyalty to the emperor and the center, and his loyalty to the empire and the Middle Earth." Jialan looked firm and determined, "Even if he was defeated and lost Yanbei, the emperor and the center would not blame Yu. However, you must see that if Yanbei invested all his strength, he would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Northern Barbarians. Once the Northern Barbarians were severely injured, the noble bureaucrats who watched the imperial coldly saw the opportunity, they would flock to the water dog, and then rob the merits of the decisive battle so that they could continue to compete with the emperor and the Central Barbarians."
The Northwest Wolf Brothers looked at each other speechlessly. After a long time, Buyi said, "In this way, Your Majesty has no confidence in the final battle. What he is seeking is just a situation where both sides suffer losses, and then forces the Eastern Capital to expel the Northern Territory and save the Northern Frontier, thereby achieving the final victory of the North-South decisive battle." Buyi sighed, "Your Majesty has a plan in his plan. If this plan is successful, and the decisive battle will be won, Your Majesty will definitely have a new authority and will also win a long period of peace in the Northern Frontier. The war between the North and South has temporarily stopped, and Your Majesty will thus win enough time to stabilize the domestic situation, and the world will inevitably be reversed. Unfortunately, the Yanbei Army no longer exists."
"The value of Yanbei Army's existence is the security of the northern border, the security of the empire, and the security of the Middle Earth." Galan said sternly, "For the sake of the people of the Middle Earth, the Yanbei Army is still willing to break into pieces."
The Northwest Wolf brothers bowed together and had no objection to Galan's plan.
"I immediately rushed to Baishan to negotiate with Ashinadula, and restrain him for a while as much as possible. Please take a handwritten warrant and a letter of the Fuxin, and transfer all the Yanbei army troops to the southern mountains of Qingpi Road in stages and batches to lurk in the mountains in the southern part of Qingpi Road." Jialan pointed to the map and explained in detail the lurking locations of Yingyang Mansions. "Before a certain person meets with the army, you must not disclose the secret of the decisive battle."
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What if Feng Yi and Liu Heita ask? Do they even hide it?"
"Today, traitors and traitors are spread all over the northern border, and even Your Majesty is unpredictable, let alone us?" Galan waved his hand decisively, "Tell them straightforwardly that this is Your Majesty's imperial edict, Your Majesty's imperial edict, those who violate the violators will be killed without mercy!"
Heading west, Zheng pointed at the head, and then asked, "Your target is Yunneicheng?"
Galan shook his head, fingered about 160 miles from the White Wolf Stop (Datong), and then drew a circle around, "According to somebody's prediction, this is the decisive battlefield."
He frowned, and the other Northwest Wolf brothers also looked solemn. Jiang Duhou could not help it anymore and asked, "Daibei Army has given up the Great Wall Defense Line. Do you have to give up the entire Daibei and let the northern barbarians cross Juzhu and kill Taiyuan?"
Jialan nodded, "I told Your Majesty in a secret memorial that if you want to win the decisive battle, you must lure the Northern Lu through Juzhu, lure them to Yanmen or even the city of Taiyuan. Only in this way can you deceive and paralyze the Northern Lu as much as possible, and extend the time for the Northern Lu retreat as much as possible, and only then can you set up a deep position and have enough time to cut off the Northern Lu retreat."
"His Majesty accepted your plan?" Jiang Duhou asked anxiously.
Galan shook his head, "I don't know."
"Your Majesty will not accept it." Mao Yuxuan smiled bitterly, "This is too dangerous. Once Yanmen falls and Taiyuan falls, it will inevitably endanger Hedong and even the two capitals, so Your Majesty will not accept this strategy. If nothing unexpected happens, he will gather the main force in the Juzhu Fortress and block the Beilu in Daibei."
"If the main forces of the Northern Barbarians gather at the Juzhu Fortress, it will be difficult for us to take down the White Wolf Pass." Buyi said with a finger on the map, "The two places are only more than a hundred miles apart, and the Northern Barbarians rode their horses and arrived in a flash." Buyi looked up at Jialan, "The battlefield of the decisive battle should be under Yunnei City."
Mao Yuxuan sighed and smiled bitterly again, "The clouds are too close to Yanbei and too close to Chijishai's army. Once Chijishai finds that we are setting up an empty city plan in Yanbei, and Shibi Khan and the main force of the Beilu are surrounded by us, they will definitely cross Baishan and enter Yanbei. Such a big thing will be gone."
Galan looked cold and said nothing for a long time.
"We need more troops." Wei Fei's voice sounded faintly, but no one responded, because there would be no more troops on the battlefield of the decisive battle.
