I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 892

Did the imperial court underestimate the enemy of Beiliao?No, never dared to underestimate Beiliao.

During Taizong's time, the great army of the country once came to Xijin Mansion, but didn't they fail in the end?This time I just arrived in Yizhou, Yongqing, Wuqing and other places...

It was precisely because of the prudence of the imperial court that the troops withdrew without going through a major war.

Su Zhe's analysis and deduction seemed to prove that the court's withdrawal of troops was correct.All the elders looked at the sand table and agreed with Su Zhe's deduction...

When the report arrived at Zhao Xi's desk, Zhao Xi just looked at it casually...

"Tell me, what do you think of this dispatch of troops to the north, and what do you think of the withdrawal of troops agreed by the cabinet, as well as the deduction and analysis of Mr. Su Ge?"

Zhao Xi did not put it on the shelf, but left the prince alone.

"Although Su Ge's analysis and deduction are reasonable, I still have doubts. After all, it is a fact that during the civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty, it is also a fact that no elite soldiers were sent. As for what Su Ge said, the Northern Liao Dynasty will go deep into the Northern Liao Dynasty with the army. After the situation, there will be the possibility of segmentation attacks, and the child agrees."

"It's just that this needs to be based on the quelling of the civil strife in Beiliao. If we go deep and the civil strife in Beiliao cannot be quelled, Yelv Yixin will take advantage of the opportunity of the country to march. I think that the possibility of sending troops this time to make meritorious deeds is also possible." Not without."

not bad.Zhao Xi was satisfied that the prince had such an idea.

"Very good. You must know how to think independently, and don't follow others' opinions. The cabinet has its position. This time the troop dispatch was unanimously agreed upon by the cabinet, and it was the cabinet that persuaded us to send troops."

"This kind of foundation has caused the cabinet members to have certain concerns... The cabinet does not dare to bear the result of defeat if the troops are not unanimously dispatched by the monarch and his ministers, so the cabinet is afraid of gains and losses. The soldiers in the front will be the same. This is One."

"Secondly, there is a lot of uncertainty in the whole matter of sending troops this time. The Guochao wants to win, to a certain extent, it hopes that Yelv Yixin will not care about the death of the Northern Liao court; The military division is going deep, and it is also hoped that the chaos can be completed in a short period of time."

"Another point is that the reason why the cabinet agrees with Su Zhe's analysis and deduction is to shirk responsibility to a certain extent. After all, this time is considered to be a troop dispatch without any meritorious service..."

Zhao Xi paused to give his son time to think.

All along, Zhao Xi asked the prince to focus on the cabinet.This is not only a matter of promoting a harmonious relationship, but also a matter of wanting the prince to have full contact with the government.

As for the role of the governor of Kaifeng... the title of the right to know the Kaifeng government has not been banned by the imperial court. The crown prince leading the Kaifeng government can be regarded as a name, and does not need to directly handle the government affairs of the Kaifeng government.

The prince has experience in local government, so there is no need to go through those trivial matters.

It was just like this that Zhao Xi was worried that the crown prince would be too deeply influenced by the cabinet, so when thinking about issues, he would get used to the cabinet's position.

From this point of view, the prince is not bad. Although he has not considered comprehensively and can't fully understand it, at least he still knows his identity and has his own position.

"Look at the report of the Imperial City Division..."

Zhao Xi reported the information sent by the Imperial City Division from Beiliao to his son.

How should we evaluate this mobilizing dispatch of troops?Zhao Xi couldn't say well either.

In the early days of the Kingdom's military deployment, Yelu Yixin was the first to reduce the intensity of the war on the battlefield of civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty.

This old boy, maybe he really thought that he could finally win the throne of Beiliao. At this time, he was still reluctant to part with Yan Yun, and he still thought that he would finally get a complete Beiliao.

Later, after the Northern Liao court did not mobilize elite cavalry, Yelu Yixin increased the intensity of the attack...

They are all acting, and no one knows who's real intention, it can only be guesswork.

Later, when the Northern Liao court allowed the imperial army to go northward, Yelu Yixin lowered the intensity again.

The Imperial City Division did not report on whether the Northern Liao Dynasty had negotiated with Yelv Yixin, and it was impossible to find out such news.

Zhao Xi didn't dare to guess casually.

In Zhao Xi's view, it is not impossible for the Northern Liao to unify the outside world.In other words, Su Che's analysis is still possible.

After all, whether it is the Northern Liao court or Yelu Yixin, it is quite tempting to eat the trophies of the [-] to [-] troops and firearms of the country.

Thinking about it the other way around, it is not impossible for Beiliao to pretend to be mysterious.The civil war was in full swing, and neither the Northern Liao court nor Yelu Yixin was willing to transfer the elite, so they acquiesced in allowing the Song Dynasty troops to enter the country.

The battlefield is never static, and strategies and tactics can also be adjusted at any time.

Similarly, soldiers are deceitful.False and false, true and false, between false and true, how can the ideas of all parties be determined?

"Father, if the army does not withdraw this time, is it possible for the army to make meritorious deeds?"

The prince became more and more confused after comparing the reports from the imperial court and the Imperial City Division.

"Maybe. In the so-called evenly matched situation, or the situation where there is no absolute advantage, a war like this can happen in any situation."

"The court of the Northern Liao Dynasty and Yelu Yixin are suspicious of each other. It is possible that the real soldiers will go to Xijin Mansion this time. Similarly, it is also possible that the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty and Yixin have reached an agreement. The Northern Liao Dynasty is not what Yelu Yixin wants."

"Similarly, there is also the possibility that Yelv Yixin completely betrayed his ethnic group and contacted the imperial army..."

Who can catch what didn't happen?

"However, you have to remember that you can't rely on others to win the battle. Whether it's internal friction in Beiliao, or Yelu Yixin's madness, it's not something you can control after all."

"In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless. The reason why the cabinet sent troops was the illusion of an accident in Beiliao, so it would not be a surprise to withdraw troops. Some things have not been back and forth, and cannot be imagined."

"If it's not too big of an idea, I would think that 20 troops can be concentrated in one place...Yizhou, Yongqing, Wuqing, etc. can be used, as long as the troops are concentrated to win a city and divide it Connecting with Guochaozhou City and establishing a solid line of defense is also a meritorious service."

The prince couldn't digest what his father said.Since the old man was sure of making meritorious deeds, why did he allow this time to send troops without success?As for the cabinet and the old man, the prince believes that as long as the old man makes a decision, the cabinet will never have any objections... The old man has such prestige.

"I don't think it's a good thing for Chaotang to become Yiyantang. Similarly, such a futile expedition may give Beiliao another impression, and may be beneficial to the real war."

Chapter 893

Some things, before they happen, it's really hard to judge the result.That's what happened this time.

Before sending troops this time, Zhao Xi did not expect it to end in this way.In Zhao Xi's judgment, Beiliao should stop the civil war, then concentrate its forces to go south, and devote all its strength to fight for another decades of border peace.

After all, with the current strength of the country, it is possible to launch a war at any time.

What's more, under the premise of a covenant, the country took advantage of the fire to rob, such behavior is the most annoying.

Didn't expect it to be like this...

Such a result made Zhao Xi inclined to the possibility that Beiliao was setting up a situation in an attempt to completely wipe out a certain army.

There is also an advantage in this way. This kind of behavior of withdrawing troops before they are about to achieve meritorious service is an obvious act of showing weakness.The army approached the city, but withdrew by itself.For Beiliao, what should be seen is the lack of confidence of Guochao...

It could be regarded as a wrong hit.With such a foundation, according to Beiliao's combat habits, the vigilance of Du Guochao's combat power will be somewhat relaxed. After all, Beiliao still dares to claim that it can't see its opponents.It also laid a certain foundation for the future decisive battle between the two sides.

If in the future when Guochao decides to go to war, Beiliao still adopts the current tactics, resulting in Guochao being unable to annihilate the vital force of Beiliao. Even if Guochao regains Yanyun, it will be a border that will never be peaceful.

With this time, it is beneficial to the next decisive battle...~

Zhao Xi has always pursued the elimination of living forces in war, especially in this era where ethnic groups are the benchmark.

The Guochao just died down, and Beiliao's reaction was quite interesting... almost no reaction.
