5. The emperor made three mistakes

Zheng Zhi talked: "The King of Chengde Wu Jun has two major enemies. One is Zhang Shengyun, the governor of the Yi Deming Wu Army. Zhang Xiaozhong, the father of Zhang Xiaozhong, was originally divided from Li Baochen because he was loyal to the court. Therefore, the Yi Wu Army was a nail at Chengde's throat. Wang Wujun wanted to pull it out day and night and quickly. The other is the Lulong Army of Youyan. At that time, Li Huaixian, the reign of Anshi, was the governor and Zhu Xicai, the envoy of the military commander under his command.

When Zhu Taiwei (called Taiwei official position shows respect) was killed by Zhu Situ Tao's brothers. Chengde Army Li Baochen once led his troops to call Li Huaixian avenge, and attempted to annex Youyan, but was defeated by Zhu Xicai. Later, Youyan and Hengji were in the same situation. Although Zhu Xicai and Li Baochen died one after another, the hatred between the two towns was not eliminated. Chengde Army Wang Wujun once called Zhu Taiwei and Zhu Situ Tao the "fielders" and absolutely looked down on this brother."

"Master Zhu was loyal to the country and killed himself with a Xianghuo, but was scolded by Wang Wujun like this, which is really regrettable!" Du Huangshang and other prime ministers sighed.

Zheng Zhi did not distract the topic, but continued to talk, also known as King Wujun of Chengde Army. In order to compete for the Yanchi of De and Dizhou, he had a quarrel with Ziqing Town. Therefore, although Chengde was as stable as Mount Tai, the outside could be regarded as "attacked from all sides". When the court used troops, as long as it was a little favor, win over Youyan, and easily set up two towns, threatening Wang Wujun's retreat, he would not dare to rebel even if Wang Wujun did not go out to assist the court.

"Shan, what about Wei Bo?" Du Huangshang continued to ask.

Zheng said that if the Chengde Army of Hengji could be called "Jiazhen", then Wei Bo Tianxiong Army could be called "Bingzhen". The first generation of Wei Bo, Tian Chengsi, died, was passed down to his nephew Tian Yue. Later, Tian Yue was killed by Chengsi's son Tian Xu. Tian Xu died and passed the throne to his son Ji An. He followed the rules and found that it was different from Chengde:

The change of the flags and ceremonies in Chengde, the opinions of the generals occupy an absolute position;

Although there was an internal strife in Weibo Town, it was always changed within the Tian family. Why? Because Tian Chengsi started, he formed the Ya Army in Weibo. The main source of the Ya Army was the local farmers, turning the strong peasants who originally farmed into the minions and soldiers who obeyed the commanders of Jieshou, and won them through generous rewards. Therefore, Weibo's soldiers were the most rebellious and separatist. Even if the Tian family betrayed the relatives (such as Ma Sui and Li Baozhen before, they fought under the city of Weizhou, and the Wei general Li Changchun who guarded the gate would open the city gate for the official army, as long as Tian Yue took out his property and kowtowed to the Weibo's Ya soldiers, they would gather around Tian without hesitation and continue to fight against the imperial official army, which was the most stubborn and fierce). As long as the Ya Army was willing to continue to walk with Tian family, Weibo would still have no peace.

"Even if the Tian clan is destroyed and dies, the Ya army can choose a general in Jie to continue to rule over Wei Bo." This is Zheng Zhi's judgment.

Therefore, it is not just the Tian family that is enemy of the court, but the entire Wei Boya army, which is very similar to Huaixi. The so-called "Chang'an Emperor, Wei's Mansion's Ya soldiers" is by no means a joke.

"How to abolish the power of the Sacrifice Army?" the prime ministers continued to ask.

Zheng Zhi said that Gao Yue has studied this point in the past few years: "If the Tian family wants to sit firmly, they have to rely on the breath of the Yajun, so they have to give all their support and rewards. The financial resources alone are insufficient based on the local output of Weibo Town, so there is a Hu Shang (Sogdian) group in Weibo Town."

"That is to say, in Wei Botian's family, they are in charge of flags and courtesy, and the Hu Shang's company is in charge of money and crams."

"Of course, Hu Shang had a leader. Now the military envoy in Wei Bo, named Shi Zhouluo, was awarded the title of Prince of Beihai." Then Zheng Zhi raised his finger and said, "To deal with Wei Bo Town, these Hu Shangs can use this group of Hu Shangs to make a fuss. Merchants only pursue interests. As long as they can protect their interests, the existence of Wei Bo Military Mansion is not a fundamental matter for them."

The prime ministers nodded and praised. Gao Yue and Zheng Feng studied Heshuofang Town deeply. As expected, the information in the war is always the most important, and it is on par with food and grass.

Zheng Zhi then said the whole plan:

The king was trapped, the profit of Bian, the attack of Wei, and the dismemberment of Ziqing.

The so-called trapping king is to use the Youyan Lulong Army, which easily defines the Wu army, traps Wang Wujun's hands and feet, so that he cannot help Wei Bo or Ziqing freely, and cannot be in a group with him.

To earn Bian means to paralyze the four towns of Heshuo first, and to target the original target of the Xuanwu Army of Bian Song. "The Xuanwu Army is a staunch leader, a group of Pinglu Army who entered Henan in the past. In addition to being able to occasionally obey the imperial orders, everything else is the same as in Huaixi and Ziqing. If you want to use martial arts against Wei Bo and Ziqing successfully, you must first purge Xuanwu." Zheng said that you will soon have to attack Xuanwu with all your strength, so that the cabin transportation hub of Bian Song is completely in the hands of the court. Then you will be much more relaxed in using troops against Wei Bo and Ziqing, and you will have no worries.

Then, the focus was not on attacking Ziqing, but on besieging Ziqing. Why? Zheng Zhi explained: "Li Shigu and Li Shidao brothers occupied the twelve prefectures of Ziqing, and rely entirely on the support of military generals. The two Li were suspicious of the generals, so they detained their wives and children in the mansion as hostages. These military generals were all together for profit. The characteristic was that they could fight in defending their territory, but they could not fight across the border. Under heavy pressure, they could gather stubbornly to resist. If they were a little relaxed, they would be different. Therefore, they did not need to attack Ziqing. They just needed to rely on Bian Song and Xu Si to trap Ziqing after restoring Bian Song. Then..."

"Then we concentrated our heavy troops and attacked Wei Bo hard." Han Hui couldn't help but shouted.

Zheng Yu nodded and said that what Han Youshen said was very true that Wei Boya's army must be destroyed, and then the Tian family would inevitably beg for mercy. When Ziqing saw that his friends were unable to protect themselves, he would definitely have internal conflicts. At that time, as long as the various officials and troops made a little effort, they could restore the entire Ziqing area and build provincial management. In another two or three years, the court's financial resources would continue to oppress Wei Bo, and use its internal Hu Shang group to promote the Wei Bo coup. The waiting official army would then advance straight in and defeat Wei Bo.

"Wei Bo is the remnant of Anshi, and Ziqing is the Pinglu Army. The two are not of the same origin, and they are in harmony with each other. As long as the methods are right, they can be defeated one by one. As long as the two towns are flattened, the remaining Hengji and Youyan are not worth worrying. What remains unchanged for fifty years is all about delaying the army. Take down these places and reunify the country and the country, and immediately build important provincial towns to protect the key points of the northern border!" Zheng Zhi waved his hand very strongly, completely determined.

"How to avoid the failure of the Supreme Emperor to use troops against Heshuo during the middle age of Jian?" Lu Zhi asked.

After all, a painful lesson is still in front of you.

Zheng Zhi said that the Supreme Emperor made three mistakes when he used military force against Heshuo:

Although there are famous generals such as Li Sheng, Li Huaiguang, Li Baozhen, and Ma Sui, there are no people in charge of the overall situation, which leads to intrigue and military affairs disorder. This time, we must have a virtuous and noble minister to control the overall situation. This time, this time we use martial arts, we must have a senior minister with great virtue and high standards to control the overall situation. This king "must be in the third year of high school" (all the prime ministers unanimously approved);

Secondly, in the past, the use of troops to Heshuo was improperly dealt with. After pacifying Li Weiyue, Tian Yue rebelled. After defeating Tian Yue, Wang Wujun rebelled. Then Li Zhengji, Li Xilie, and Zhu Tao rebelled one after another. The war continued throughout the world. The court spent all its money and could not pacify it. But now the Huaixi area in its heart has been pacified. Xifan and Uighurs no longer pose a threat. The court can focus on pacifying Heshuo;

Later, the imperial court mainly went to the Huguan Pass in Taihang, and the battlefield was in Xing Ciming. It was difficult to supply the mountain, so the government army finally had shortage of food and collapsed itself. Now, as long as it occupied the Bian Song Dynasty, it could use the grain transportation, and military supplies were endless. "Then it focused on attacking the two prefectures of the Xiang and Wei provinces that Wei Bo had occupied, and the decisive battle here!" Zheng Zhi made a sound.
