Chapter 404(1/2)
"Report to the prince, there is movement in the Western Jin Dynasty."
Yu Wenyuan didn't say anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly raised his heart to everyone in the hall.
Western Jin Dynasty!
Previously, Nan Chu was suppressed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Eastern Qi Dynasty was raided, and even Teng Kingdom was defeated. The Western Jin Dynasty never took action and suppressed its restlessness. Otherwise, Nan Chu would be more pressured at that time. With Ye Xiangfu's ability to lead troops to calculate the magic, he would probably suffer a loss. The war would have to last for at least several months, which would really shake the foundation of Nan Chu.
But now-
When Ye Xiangfo died, the Western Jin Dynasty responded!
This is not a good sign!
Even the Western Jin Dynasty was in trouble, so what about the Great Zhou and Dongqi, who had been unhappy with Southern Chu over the years?
Everyone looked at Yan Zhe, who was also serious, and the two marshals Liu**, and their worries became even stronger.
At this time.
Yuwen Yuan's report continues.
"The 36 Duchy of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Duchy of Boyue recently released a young military god. This year, it has forced the two major priests to cede land and negotiate peace. They are named Guo Xi. They use sharp troops and have taken the lead in mobilizing tens of thousands of troops to the road. At the latest, they should be able to reach the border of our southern Chuxi Pass at early tomorrow morning."
"In addition, other major priests also mean to join forces with Bo Yue to launch an army."
Young military god?
Join forces to start a war?
Everyone's face was solemn.
Just a war god, nothing.
Over the years, are there few military gods announced by the major dynasties abroad? But in the end, very few of them can prove themselves in various wars, and most of them have been lost.
Compared with Guo Xi, what they cared more about was the joint actions of the major priests of the Western Jin Dynasty!
tidy!
This is not a good signal.
The reason why the Western Jin Dynasty was the weakest dynasty in Southern Chu was because their royal family was too weak and there were many priests, which greatly squeezed the growth of the Western Jin royal family.
However, it is precisely because of this that the Western Jin Dynasty royal family has always existed.
After all, the imperial power is granted by heaven.
Even if any principality has the intention to replace it, there are too many forces in the 36 Principalities of the Western Jin Dynasty. Once one of the principalities shows a strong momentum, it will inevitably lead to the rise of surrounding principalities and attack them, and then fall into a vicious circle that cannot be truly powerful, allowing the Western Jin Dynasty royal family to exist.
The Duchy of Western Jin was similar to the major vassal states of Southern Chu, but their relationship was much worse than that of the major vassal states of Southern Chu. Not to mention friction, even wars were common?
So? It can make them abandon their hatred and raise an army together...
This means that the Western Jin Dynasty's principalities have reached some consensus! In this case, it is extremely likely that they will launch an offensive!
No wonder Yuwen Yuan's face was so serious after he arrived.
The battle of the dynasty is imminent!
Who wouldn't be nervous?
Li Yunyi also listened to Yu Wen Yuan's words seriously and said:
"How does Marshal Yuwen want to solve it?"
Yu Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows? Obviously he didn't expect Li Yunyi to throw this problem to him. Because according to his previous thoughts, this was the first crisis Li Yunyi faced after he took office? He must have to find some sense of existence? Proving his strength to intimidate the government and the opposition, but he didn't expect that the other party would give him the right to speak.
Want to step on me?
Yu Wenyuan didn't think much about it? Plus his always direct personality? He said casually:
"The last one will think...guard!"
"With our current military strength in Nanchu, it is obviously not a wise approach to take the initiative. It is better to defend the Xiguan border city, respond to changes in a constant manner, and be prepared for a fierce battle? I, Nanchu, rest under the command of your prince, will not be too late to fight back."
"What's more, the Duchy of Western Jin Dynasty is uneven. If we cannot see the benefits in a short period of time, the alliance will definitely fall apart, and we don't even need to fight back? It will collapse."
"But this method..."
Yu Wenyuan looked up at Li Yunyi? Shake his head gently? It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he still held it back.
It's not just him.
Even the others around were in a state of silence.
Is this a good idea?
Of course.
Taking the border town as the basis is the most appropriate way to deal with a war that is likely to lose. If they do this in peacetime without thinking, they will not report it to Li Yunyi at all. But now-
The new king takes over.
This is a special period.
Even if the new official takes office, he still makes three fuses, let alone the king of a country?
No one will miss this good opportunity to promote his strength. So, even though Yu Wenyuan was willing to persuade him, he finally closed his mouth and waited for Li Yunyi to shake his head.
But at this moment, what everyone did not expect was-
“But what?”
"I think this is a good deal."
"But there are still some flaws."
flaw?
Li Yunyi didn't refuse immediately?
Should I raise first and then suppress, or have other plans?
Everyone was stunned. Yu Wen Yuan couldn't help but look up at Li Yunyi, but saw that the latter did not look at him anymore, but looked at the others behind him, who were also generals in the Western War Zone.
"With our current strength in Nan Chu, it is still too risky to stick to it. Although after a year of rest and recuperation, if the Western Jin Dynasty refuses to give up, we will not be able to defend it sooner or later."
"So in my opinion, in addition to sending troops to defend, we must also actively mobilize the rear reserve troops to contact major cities and counties and cooperate to prepare for evacuation."
"As for the direction of evacuation..."
"If I remember correctly, your name is Tian Hai, right?"
With a look of surprise, Li Yunyi slowly walked down the platform and finally stood still under the excitement of a middle-aged general.
"The Yunhai City you are stationed in can be used as the first fortress to evacuate. There are three cities around, not far from Yunhai City. With your troops under your command, it is absolutely fine to clear the surroundings within three months. Of course, it also needs to be allocated by others."
Evacuate?
Except for Tian Hai who was named, everyone else, including Yu Wen Yuan, was stunned.
What the hell?
They thought Li Yunyi would choose a big fight, but they never expected that he would say this.
Not only do we need to stick to it, but also be prepared to evacuate?
this……
Yu Wenyuan was stunned, and then he thought of something and said:
"Prince, once this is the case, my honor to Nanchu and your reputation..."
Retreat without fighting?
This is a shame to be written into historical books!
Li Yunyi doesn’t care?
You know, this is his first battle to become the Regent of Southern Chu!
really.
Li Yunyi paused, stopped, and turned around to look. But the sudden realization in his eyes was not what everyone imagined, but-
A lot of determination.
Li Yunyi looked at Yuwen Yuan and shook his head and said:
"My reputation? What is that?"
"Compared with my Nanchu people, is it as heavy as a feather?"
The people of Nanchu!
There was no need for too many words. As long as these four words were used, everyone in the audience was shocked and looked at Li Yunyi in shock, as if they had known him for the first time.
And here.
Li Yunyi's voice continued to come:
"I led the Huya Army into the Great Zhou in the past, and you should know. But at that time, I was the general of Chu, and the general of the Southern Chu who was bound by the Great Zhou. Even if I was fighting for the entire Huya Army, I would fight with me and never stop until death."
"But now... the dynasty is drifting away, and the foundation is difficult to stabilize. At this time, we still have to fight to the death. Where is Li going to place the people of Nan Chu?"
To be continued...
