Chapter 254: Loss and gains
"Liao Town..."
The pen tip waved, and two words appeared on the rice paper.
Li Xiu looked at the word Liaozhen, and his eyes were also a little flickering.
The change in Liaozhen was beyond expectations.
In response, the direction of Liao Town was also a fact that he did not want to see but could not change.
Under the heavy blockade, Liao land will inevitably be restless and the morale of the army will be unstable.
There is no doubt that someone will definitely abandon the darkness and turn to the light or secretly communicate with the music style.
There is no doubt that those in power in Liao Town can only choose one way to go to the black without any retreat.
How to maintain the situation under internal instability?
It is also very obvious that Liao Town will definitely move completely towards the Later Jin Dynasty.
Although this forced approach can maintain a cooperative relationship for the time being, just from the terrain of Liao Town, we can clearly know that in the future, the relationship between Liao Town and the Later Jin will definitely change from cooperation to vassal, and even completely become a member of the Later Jin.
In the narrow and long Liaodong Corridor, Shanhaiguan locked the connection between Liao Town and the Central Plains, and Denglai of Dongjiang locked the possibility of Liao Town crossing the sea. Later Jin was blocked at the end of the Liaodong Corridor.
If Liaozhen wants to survive, either break through Shanhaiguan or it can only completely turn to the Later Jin Dynasty and seek strategic breakthroughs in other directions.
However, this path of life is in the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Break through Shanhaiguan...
In the past six months, Liao Town has worked hard many times, obviously, with little success and heavy casualties.
Nowadays, Liaodong is in constant disasters. As time goes by, people's hearts will be restless and turbulent. With the power of Liao Town alone, the possibility will undoubtedly become lower and lower.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously foreseeable where Liao Town will go.
Shanhaiguan is difficult to break, and it is enough to easily knock off the teeth of Liao Town in the Later Jin Dynasty. With the current internal and external troubles of Liao Town in the Later Jin Dynasty, no matter whether it is Liao Town or the Later Jin Dynasty, they do not have the confidence to attack Shanhaiguan and complete their achievements in one battle.
After all, under internal and external troubles, external wars are used to divert internal conflicts, and to plunder resources through foreign wars and fill their own emptiness, this is the goal of the war, and Shanhaiguan is obviously not in line with this.
There are only two purposes.
Mongolia and North Korea!
No matter where, the Ming Dynasty cannot sit idly by.
When fighting Mongolia, climbing the Dongjiang River in Lai and Shanhaiguan will all move for it.
When fighting North Korea, Mongolia, Denglai, Dongjiang, and Shanhaiguan will also follow suit.
But no matter how it moves, it is just a local war. Now that the situation in the capital is not stable, his control over the court has not been perfect, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave the capital and go to Liaodong to command a battle to destroy the country.
Besides, the current situation is not allowed to do so.
It can be expected that as the strategic direction changes, Liao Town will become increasingly dependent on the Later Jin Dynasty.
This predictable result is naturally not what Li Xiu wants to see.
Although Liaozhen rebelled, its relationship with the Later Jin Dynasty was actually just a cooperative relationship.
The cooperation between the two forces and the two forces is obviously two completely different concepts.
Once Liao Town completely falls to the Later Jin Dynasty, it not only means that the Later Jin Dynasty will completely take over the elite soldiers of Liao Town, but also means that the Later Jin Dynasty will completely fill the last defect of its system.
The population of Liao Town, the crystallization of agricultural civilization and wisdom contained in Liao Town, and the strategic terrain of Liao Town will be completely used by the Later Jin Dynasty.
And these are obviously all things that the Later Jin Dynasty cannot obtain.
Nurhaci led his army into the pass for this purpose, and Huang Taiji led his army into the pass for this purpose!
Nowadays, although history has long gone for a fork in the road, the strategic environment of the Later Jin Dynasty has long been harsh.
But after all this, after going around, it seemed that it would still be in the hands of the Later Jin Dynasty, and it was much richer than the historical gains!
Of course, the Ming Dynasty today also gained a strategic advantage over the Later Jin Dynasty that it had never had in history...
Is this just...
Loses and gains?
Li Xiu chuckled and waved his hand, and the internal energy surged. The rice paper shattered and turned into debris all over the sky. Then an invisible wave of air swept over, rolling up the paper scraps and falling into the waste paper bucket next to the table.
After going around and around again, the destined ending will not be changed.
It's nothing more than a process, with many twists and turns.
"General!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Li Dingguo stood straight at the door in military uniform.
This scene caught his eye. Although it was not the first time he saw it, Li Dingguo's heart still couldn't help but tremble. His martial arts reached this unpredictable state of gods and ghosts, and it was unimaginable for him to imagine!
“How did you learn in the Martial Arts Academy?”
Li Xiu picked up another piece of rice paper and spread it on it. As the pen waved, the sound also sounded.
"Report to the general, the last general has not slacked off at all!"
Hearing this, Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Dingguo who was standing straight. He lowered his pen and asked casually: "Now your military position is Deputy General Qian?"
"yes!"
"In this way, the Martial Arts Academy will be suspended for the time being. Go to Dengzhou and Liaodong. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be several major battles in the near future. If you go there, you will see more and learn more."
"The last general will never let the general down!"
Li Dingguo knelt on the ground with a loud bang, kowtowed and shouted loudly.
Li Xiu didn't say much, and waved his hand in the war, then signaled Li Dingguo to retreat.
Li Dingguo kowtowed again, stood up, and left with great strides.
This scene caught my eyes, and Li Xiu's eyes also flashed.
There is an old saying that it is easy to get three armies, but it is difficult to get one general, and of course, it is even harder to get one general!
Now he has no shortage of generals under his command, and now all those sent by him to take charge are considered good generals.
For example, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Shun can even be called a famous general of the previous generation.
Lead an army and fight in all directions!
However, it is only a general. He is in charge of the land, commands the army of the land, and does his own acre of three-point land well. Naturally, there is no problem.
But there is no one who can plan and coordinate the overall situation.
The difference between a general and a general talent is like the upper limit of a person.
There is no problem for a person, a normal person, to be willing to train and work hard to become a good general.
But handsome talents need to be cultivated, and more importantly, they need that unpredictable talent.
As for this talent, Li Xiu has only seen something from Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and Li Dingguo is even more of a rough jade that makes Li Xiu quite happy.
It seems that this person was born for war.
His talent is so ubiquitous and keen sense of war, it is really rare!
After confirming this talent, Li Xiu certainly didn't mind vigorously cultivating one or two.
From the beginning of the battle of the grasslands, the battle of Mobei, he served with him, taught by example, and then to the battle of the southern part of the Mobei region, he was sent to the battle of the Fengyong Cavalry Battalion to fight and train.
Li Dingguo obviously did not disappoint Li Xiu. After several wars, he was able to be regarded as a great achievement, from the general flag to the hundred households, and then to the deputy general manager.
All of this was a well-deserved promotion for his military achievements without Li Xiu's intervention.
After confirming his talent and using his military achievements to prove that he can be cultivated, Li Xiu naturally did not hesitate to cultivate it.
After returning to the capital, Li Xiu threw him directly to the Martial Arts Academy. He studied for almost half a year, strengthened his background and built a solid foundation. Now, the war in Liaodong is about to begin, Li Xiu lifted him out and threw him to Liaodong.
The general died in a hundred battles!
