Chapter 475 Two Ways

After a while, Yiba Chucai straightened his back and exhaled.

"The target of the Mongolian army must be Zhongdu. They attacked Xianping Mansion in order to contain our army and cover their flanks. However, we are not guarding both Zhongdu and Xianping Mansion. Therefore, , our navy has to constantly adjust its strategy according to the situation, so as to be safe. If we directly invest heavily in Liaodong, as Director Li said, and fight a tough battle directly... then we will lose the possibility of subsequent adjustments and changes, and we will be desperate .”

He paused, and then said: "After putting all our eggs in one basket, even if we win, so what? Could it be that we have exhausted our savings just to become the loyal ministers of Daikin? How does this benefit our career?"

These words are quite straightforward, and several people said: "That's right!"

Many of the soldiers in the hall have fought against the Mongolian army for many years.Everyone is very familiar with the thinking of the Mongols.Every time the Mongolian army went to battle, it was for looting. Even a hero like Genghis Khan, who wanted to drive his subordinates, had to rely on the wealth he got from looting as a lure.

However, in Liaodong, there are poor mountains and bad waters, extreme cold and bitterness, and the situation of many tribes intertwined with each other is not the same as that on the grassland.The Mongols went to fight in vain, shaking their prestige, but they couldn't get decent spoils.Therefore, this time the Mongolian army went south, and its ultimate goal was undoubtedly the Central Capital.

The spies under Li Yun also reported that the Mongols were making large-scale siege equipment, which can be proved.

Of course, the central capital cannot be lost. After all, this place is the capital of Dajin. Once the central capital is lost, the situation is out of control, and the momentum of the Mongols is even more irresistible.

But what everyone knew was that Ding Haijun had no loyalty at all to the court of the Jurchens, so why bother to fight so impatiently?

Of course, Xianping Mansion should deal with it as soon as possible to avoid losses to allies, but on the side of Zhongdu City, it is not good to see the power of the imperial court and the Mongols consuming each other?
The emperor is indeed a piece of paper, but the deep trenches and high fortifications in Zhongdu City are not fake. Didn’t they defend Zhongdu last year?How can this year be so fragile?Even if the Mongolian army has siege equipment, it can always last for a few rounds.Ding Haijun can watch the show safely, as long as he seizes the opportunity to dispatch, and don't really let Zhongdu lose.

On this point, Li Ting's thinking was completely wrong.

In the long run, Dinghai's goal is the Mongolian army, yes, but this time, Dinghai only needs to keep Zhongdu, continue to consume and involve the Mongolian army in Zhongdu and Liaodong, and finally force them to retreat... that's enough up!
Therefore, this requires the main force of the navy to always maintain a ready-to-go posture, grasp the most suitable time, and launch appropriate actions.

And looking at it...

Yicha Chucai took two steps back and stood in the hall: "Let's just follow the plan."

"How do you plan and plan?"

"Since the Mongolian army wanted to contain us, we went to rescue Xianping Prefecture with great fanfare, and entangled with the Mongols in Liaodong for a while, pretending to be contained. In fact, the headquarters of the army is still ready to go in Shandong."

Some people wondered: "Han Xuan is in Liaodong, but there are only a few thousand people. If he wants to make a big splash, where will the soldiers come from?"

Chu Cai turned to look at Guo Ning, and Guo Ning nodded.

"Since our herding station went deep into the Northeast, relying on the food and money in our hands, our backs have been straightened, and relying on the trade of salt, tea, grain, medicine, cloth and other necessities, we have been able to expand rapidly. The influence of various tribes in the Northeast. Everyone knows that in the past three months, there were 400 Khitan, Xi, and Yejuzhen strong men who migrated from Liaodong to Shandong with their families, right? "

Almost all of these barbarians from Liaodong were filled into the army of the Ding Navy.Because of their barbarism and backwardness, they don't need shade households or fields. They only need basic military pay and a mouthful of food, and they are willing to work hard.

Half a month ago, these people passed the basic training one after another, and began to be assigned to various Jiedu envoys and general managers.The generals are also willing to hold a small army of Liaodong savages in their hands, with their character of committing suicide and death, as a supplement to the elite soldiers, just like the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, he stabbed Chucai and continued: "So, as you all know, in the past three months, people have successively migrated southward from Posu Road, Helan Road and other places to Gaizhou. Min, how many are there in total?"

Liang Xunyi pondered and said: "The barbarians are completely uncivilized and look like beasts. It is a common practice for several tribes to go south to escape the cold wave and heavy snow every year. Usually, a large number of people will die on the way, so no one cares. Manager Han's operations in Gaizhou and Fuzhou are very attractive to the barbarians, so they come here more often?"

"exactly."

Yila Chucai nodded. He had a good memory, and he reported the number directly without looking through the books: "In the middle of last month, Han Xuan reported that he was placed in the Chengzhou area and on the west side of Posu Road, and was under control. Yes, there are 27 tribes in total, with 460 strong men. Among them, 400 people have gone south with the sea boat, and the other [-] people have also been killed by Han Xuan, Li Yun and others at this moment. According to the formation of the army, people are driven to cut down forests and build fortresses and high walls."

"These 5000 people, as long as they get weapons, they will immediately become a large army. You say, we will use Han Xuan's troops as the backbone, and we will take these people to the north, pretending to be the main force of the navy, and fighting with the Mongolian army. One game or two games, will the Mongolian army think that the goal of containing our army has been achieved?"

There was a whisper of civil and military in the hall.

Someone asked: "The black tartars are so cunning, will they believe it?"

"Over the past few years, the Yi Army and the Bei Army of the imperial court have almost looked like this. Do you believe it or not?"

"The Mongolian scouts are very capable, and I'm afraid they can always see the flaws."

"No matter how capable they are, they are still Mongols. We urgently dispatched a batch of flags from Shandong, and we have everything we need. We also have the same caliber for those born and wild Jurchens. They all say that a large army has arrived, and they will gather to fight northward. Got it?"

Wang Shixian was resolute during the war, but a little soft-hearted on weekdays.Moreover, he is from Wanggu, and he is a foreign race who has been driven by the Jurchens in the frontier for a long time. When it comes to these people, it is inevitable that we feel sympathy.

He hesitated for a moment, and said: "This approach seems to be the old trick of getting the people of Haicang Town to join the army. Moreover, these tribesmen may fight with the Mongolian army? The casualties must be extremely heavy!"

Yira Chucai responded: "Since the Mongolian army is taking action, we have to come up with countermeasures. Instead of dispatching our own army to cross the sea, it is better to let these tribesmen play a role and consume the spirit of the Mongolian people. If any die in battle For those who are still in the army after the war, they will just continue to sign in to our Navy Headquarters, which can be of great use."

"Hey!" Wang Shixian opened his mouth and said nothing.

What everyone in the hall didn't say was that many of these tribesmen were Khitans who were separated after Yeluliuge's defeat.Yila Chucai didn't care about this group of fellow clansmen, let alone others.

Now everyone went to see Guo Ning.

Guo Ning got up and looked at the map.

As the scale of Dinghai continued to expand, the situation it faced became more and more complicated. To be honest, Guo Ning himself felt that he was not quite sure, let alone be able to solve the problem with a strong effort like in the early years.

However, Yichai Chucai analyzed the situation thoroughly just now, and Guo Ning was very satisfied. He paused with a golden knife, and said in a deep voice: "Is there no one who is undead in a war? Let's do it like this! We got it from the Red Coat Army." There are a lot of weapons seized, and a batch of them will be shipped to Liaodong immediately. Let Han Xuan put on a posture as soon as possible! In addition, send someone to Xianping Mansion to give Heshi Liehuan a boost and let him persevere!"

At this moment, another messenger rushed into the hall to deliver the military report.

Guo Ning took a look and chuckled a few times: "It's easy, we don't have to worry about Xianping Mansion... The Mongolian army has already driven directly to Gaizhou!"

　Argentina actually...
