Mao Geng disagreed with this decision of the Song Dynasty court. The latest chapter visit:...

According to Mao Geng and most time travelers, of course, we must grasp the main contradiction. The number one enemy of the Song Dynasty was the Jin Kingdom. It was a piece of cake to kill the Jin Kingdom first. Looking back and deal with these weak teams around it would be a piece of cake!

But Mao Geng was not easy to comment. Ma Fen originally wanted to say that when he thought that he was now a military commander of Sakhalin Island, it would be inconvenient to make any comments on the Song Dynasty's strategy. After all, the Song Dynasty court would have to provide support to Sakhalin Island from all aspects. Don't mess with the court, that would not be fun.

However, Liu Wenbin didn't have so many taboos. When he saw Mao Geng and Ma Fen's expression, he knew that although these two people were dissatisfied with each other, they were trying to restrain themselves. Such a dull situation was never a big deal. Liu Wenbin began to publish a high-profile statement:

"This time the imperial court is preparing to expedition to Dali in the west. He asked me to say that fighting Dali is always a good thing. It is always better than doing nothing. You guys say, is that the reason? However, I will say something arrogant here. If I, Liu, come to choose, maybe I will choose the Jin Kingdom to fight. Why? Fighting the Jin Kingdom is to avenge revenge, and the shame of Jingkang is the place of justice. Recovering the country is natural and the sacred mission of our people of the Song Dynasty, right?"

Liu Wenbin sang so high in tune that he suddenly made Lu Jiuyuan a little embarrassed. Meng Shu, who came with Lu Jiuyuan, was also very uncomfortable. Liu Wenbin's words were a bit unpleasant, but he was very reasonable.

When Liu Wenbin said this, he changed his mind and said:

"Even so, fighting Dali is also a choice. Well, let's call Dali the Central Strategy. Of course, the best strategy is to fight the Jin Kingdom in the north. However, if we fight the Jin Kingdom first, the best opportunity should be a year or two later. After our military upgrade and our overwhelming advantage, we will "sweep" the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. That is the best strategy. In addition to going to war with the Jin Kingdom, the only targets we can start war are Xixia, Tubo and Dali Kingdom."

Liu Wenbin said while pointing at the map. On the map, the current territory of the Song Dynasty seemed very pitiful. In the later Celestial dynasties, a large piece was swallowed by the Jin imperialist whale, and the Western Xia split out a large piece. Tubo is now divided into pieces, and Zanpu is everywhere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. No matter how big the tribe leader is, he is named Zanpu. Tubo's territory looks very large. Even India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan in later generations are Tubo's territory, but at this time Tubo is a mess. As for the Dali Kingdom, although the Dali Duan family is the leader of a country, the Dali Gao family is strong and always competes with the Dali king in national affairs. Therefore, the Dali Kingdom is definitely not strong now. However, the territory of the Dali Kingdom at this time extended to Thailand in later generations, and the western part extends to Myanmar in later generations, which is not much smaller than that of the Dali Song Dynasty.

At this time, the southeastern half of the country was left. Every time Mao Geng looked at this map, he felt very upset.

Lu Jiuyuan had to admit that Liu Wenbin was right. According to Lu Jiuyuan's thoughts, of course, it was the top priority to clear away the Jin Dynasty and restore the homeland of the Song Dynasty. The Northern Expedition did require more time to prepare. War is a major matter for the country! Of course, you must be very cautious when dealing with the giant Jin Dynasty. Now that the court has made the decision on the Western Expedition, it is suspected that it is to give up the big and seek small things, it may also affect the great cause of the Northern Expedition. However, as a minister, he can only be consistent with the emperor and the court.

OK, it’s okay to listen to Liu Wenbin’s words.

"In Xixia, between Tubo and Dali, if you have to choose one to start a war, Liu believes that the first choice is Dali. Tubo is by no means the direction of the attack, and this should be unquestionable. Our dynasty has always used Tubo to restrain Xixia, and the attack of allies is naturally not within the scope of our Song Dynasty. As for attacking Xixia, it is a bad strategy, and it is not taken by wise people. If you attack Xixia, if the Jin Kingdom uses reinforcements to rescue us, you only need to let our Song Dynasty soldiers fall into the quagmire, and the Jin Kingdom's strategy will be successful."

Liu Wenbin's statement about Tubo in the first half of his sentence was deeply agreed with everyone here, but when it comes to attacking Xixia, it is a bad strategy, at least Han Tuozhou felt that this might not be the case. In the past, when the Song Dynasty started a war with Xixia, the Liao Kingdom was not eyeing it, so the war with Xixia should still be fought.

However, Han Tuozhou's current qi cultivation skills are different from before, so let's continue to brag.

However, Zhao Han couldn't help asking:

"Then, Mr. Liu thought, what is the chance of winning in the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition to Dali?" Zhao Yan was familiar with the classics and history, and naturally knew the story of the Tang Dynasty's successive defeats in Nanzhao. However, Taizu of this dynasty was defeated by the Tang Dynasty and drew boundary with a 'jade' axe on the Dadu River and said, "It's not me that I have it." Therefore, Zhao Yan even thought that if he had made a concerted effort, the Dali Kingdom might have belonged to the Song Dynasty. Now that the troops are strong and the weapons are eight streets away from the Dali Kingdom, it would be difficult to defeat Dali Kingdom. Unfortunately, he could not participate in the Western Expedition to Dali, and he was a little itchy.

As a military enthusiast, Zhao Han felt that Dali was vulnerable, but he also knew that military was not a joke. Zhao Han was very interested in listening to the deductions of relevant people. The deduction was actually Ma Fen, but Ma Fen insisted that silence was gold. Fortunately, Liu Wenbin liked to show off. Well, it's okay to listen to Liu Wenbin yy.

"A mere Dali can naturally not stop the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers equipped with many new weapons. But the Western Expedition to Dali was not about fighting on the battlefield. Liu believed that the five scoundrels in Dali could not resist the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers."

When Zhao Han heard the "fighting the Five Slags", Zhao Han couldn't help but be happy. Regarding the "fighting the Five Slags", Zhao Han had heard Yu Yun'lu' talk about it. After the operation beauty Yu Yun'lu arrived at Xiayi Island, she finally got her wish and got along with Zhao Han, the prince of Beihai, and became a "princess" figure in one fell swoop. Yu Yun'lu was not stupid enough to tell Zhao Han the secret of the time traveler, but he had many "conversations" and naturally some later words emerged. After a while, Zhao Han also understood many new words. For example, when he heard about the "fighting the Five Slags, Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

Liu Wenbin also smiled and thought to himself that if we accidentally use the word "War Wushao". Well, you have to pay attention in the future and you cannot use the word "desire" as you wish.

"It should not be difficult to defeat Dali Kingdom. The key is that the expectation of the Song Dynasty in the Western Expedition to Dali should be to win at the lowest cost and the fastest speed, which is probably not easy to achieve."

When Meng Shu heard this, he disagreed and asked:

"But why?"

"Dali Country is located on the plateau, mountains and rivers. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty's advance, Liu found that Dali would not be able to resist, but after entering Dali's territory, the logistics - oh, no! I mean, the transportation of food and grass may not be continued, and Dali Country resisted one after another. The more we went, the stronger the enemy's resistance, and our army might end up being strong, one would rise and the other would decline. In the end, even if our army won, it would be a protracted war of attrition, which would be quite unfavorable to our Song Dynasty."

"Mr. Liu has any reminder, just say it." Lu Jiuyuan could not know the defeat of Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty, and he immediately aroused his vigilance.

"Liu thought that in the Western Expedition to Dali, we should take every step and advance steadily, and we should prepare for long-term combat. In order to ensure that the Western Expedition to Dali did not fail, we must restrain the Jin Kingdom on the northern line."

"Mr. Liu means, do you want me to go to war on both sides of the Song Dynasty?" Speaking of the Jin Dynasty, Meng Shu was still afraid of the giant in the north. "Qijin fear" cannot be cured without medicine in a short while. For war on both sides, especially provoking the Jin Dynasty, many people in the Song Dynasty were afraid of this. Meng Shu couldn't help feeling a little cold at this moment.

"Look, I, Sakhalin Island, can't I just stop the Jin Kingdom?" Liu Wenbin finally pointed out the question.--32133+dsuaahhh+27122642-->
