Chapter 1 The debate between true and false
"Four years ago? The small bandits of the Southern Dynasty led 100,000 troops, and hundreds of warships crossed the sea and invaded the south of the Yangtze River? The 20 armies and tens of thousands of sanctuary troops under the jurisdiction of the Wanhu Mansion in Jiangnan were defeated, almost all of which were lost." Li Qian sighed and said, "If I followed the plan of the envoy and built a city wall along the river? Rebuild the city defense? The Southern Army would not have easily crossed the Yangtze River and invaded the two Huaihe Rivers."
"Don't mention it again in the old days? Now the Southern Army is relying on its sharp firearms, attacking cities and villages is like destroying the dead, and fighting in the field can also form a formation and attack. For example, Xiangyang, Shouzhou, Fuli are all tall and deep, and are as solid as a golden soup, but still cannot resist the attacks of the Southern Dynasty. It can be seen that my strategy against the enemy was not a good strategy, and with its powerful naval army, it can travel across rivers and seas, maneuver quickly along rivers and rivers, transport military funds, and long-distance raids are faster than our cavalry, but we have no strategy to defeat the enemy so we can only passively defend everywhere. This battle in Langzhong can be called a great victory."
"Our clan's iron cavalry once destroyed hundreds of countries. They all fled under the bows and arrows of the warriors. But is it useless in front of the Southern Dynasty?" Korigis couldn't believe it.
"When Tulu first entered the Central Plains, he didn't believe it. He wanted to rob it with his horse's quick sword, but his troops were surrounded and he was defeated and captured. So don't try again now, otherwise..." An Tong shook his head with a wry smile.
Although An Tong said half of the words, everyone knew what was going on. In order to redeem it and exchange the Song army for withdrawing troops from Nanyang, they had to give up Sichuan and Shu. It can be said that they had lost their wife and troops. It was really a loss of money. The intention was to warn them not to act rashly, to change their old problems, and not to cross the border without authorization to cause trouble.
"This time Langzhong can annihilate the Southern Army. Can we benefit from it and find a way to win!" said Korigis.
"I think the report of the Battle of Langzhong is very untrue, and it is difficult to know the comprehensive situation. This battle does not seem to be a sudden battle, but rather a premeditated ambush." Zhang Gui finished reading the report.
"Oh, the deputy envoy said that Wang Weixiao was intentionally provoking a conflict with the Southern Army?" He Weixian said in surprise, which coincided with his suspicion.
"That's right!" Zhang Gui nodded, "There are several unreasonable aspects. First, the Southern Army intends to regain Sichuan and Shu for a long time. It is because they did what they used to do, and they will not disturb the people, and they will comfort them in every way, so the saying of burning, killing and looting is doubtful; second, the Khan issued an order to abandon Xichuan, and the Wang family has been operating here for decades. It is not impossible for the people to withdraw to Hanzhong with them, but this move violates the peace agreement reached by the two countries. It is probably a conflict caused by the Southern Army's desire to stop the people from moving north."
"Well, what the deputy envoy said is very much!" Li Qian nodded. Everyone agreed, but they didn't believe it in their hearts. They said that their hometown was hard to leave. The truth was mostly because the Wang family drove the people north and the Southern Army went to stop it. But this matter was about who initiated the war. Everyone naturally chose to believe that it was the Southern Army burning, killing, looting, or the people voluntarily following the north and moving north.
"Third, the station troops serve the people on weekdays and wartime. When the summer harvest and sowing, the station troops cannot quickly gather so many troops and arrive at the scene in time, so they must be local town troops; fourth, our army occupied the high ground on the battlefield and launched a high attack. This further shows that they were prepared, otherwise the 2,000 troops would be mobilized, and the Southern Army would not have entered the hub without any notice. Therefore, it is more like the Wang family had already ambushed here, using the driving of the people north to move as bait, luring the Southern Army into the battlefield to be ambushed."
"In addition, the battle may not be as easy as it said. Wang Weichun, a tens of thousands of households, commanded tens of thousands of troops, wouldn't he be the first to charge in the first round of attack? It is estimated that he could not capture the attack for a long time, suffered heavy casualties, and his morale was low. He was worried that the reinforcements of the Southern Army would arrive, so he led the army to attack, but unfortunately got shot and died. Therefore, I thought it was difficult to gain experience in this battle." Zhang Gui said.
"What the Deputy Envoy said is also speculation that it is not easy to win this battle, and Wang Weichun's death is not fake, and Wang's family is still loyal to the country!" Ganmala interrupted at this time.
"Your Highness is such a bad word!" Brother Sang took over the conversation, "Several years ago, a team of only fifty people in the Southern Army crossed the Yangtze River and sneaked into Lu'an Town. We were discovered by our military military military army. When the two sides fought fiercely, they broke through the encirclement and hid on the mountain to defend. Then, thousands of troops in the army mobilized their troops to surround the mountain and searched. As a result, they suffered more than 100 soldiers after three consecutive attacks, but they failed to succeed."
"Then, the Southern Army found that the infiltrating squad was trapped in Jiangbei, and immediately dispatched troops to cross the river to save people. After we found that there was something unusual in Jiangnan, we immediately mobilized several surrounding troops, thousands of households, and reinforced them. The Southern Army only used two thousand-person teams to cross the river and attack the ferry with the assistance of the navy. Then we sent a team of 100 people to save people. They tore open the defense line and went up the mountain to rescue people, and then hid in Qianhu Mansion to wait for assistance. At that time, thousands of people were used to attack, but they could not make any contribution. Then the Song army crossed the river in a large scale, intercepted several thousand-person teams of our army that were reinforced, and rescued friendly troops who were defending Qianhu Mansion."
"But what happened? The Thousand Houses of Lu'an Town were almost wiped out, and the three Thousand Houses of reinforcements were seriously injured. After the Southern Army rescued people, they retreated safely with hundreds of subjugated households, and the loss of soldiers would not exceed 100. Although this battle was not big, it caused shock to the court. The Order's envoy had to cancel the plan to cross the river for a long time. After that, thousands of households along the river retreated ten miles and were not allowed to fight with the Southern Army, and began to renovate the river defense. The Order's envoy was in charge of this matter at the time, so he should know about it!" Brother Sang turned to Boyan and said.
"Well, this is true. After this battle, all the troops stationed in Yanjiang were frightened and dared not wipe their edges. They would avoid it without fear of avoiding it!" Boyan nodded and said.
"You should know that shortly after the Southern Army recovered Jiangnan, all the troops were expanded and all the recruits were recruited, so they had such combat power. Now the Southern Army soldiers are all soldiers who have experienced battle formations for a long time, and their combat power will only be stronger than that time. It is really hard to convince people that Wang's military can achieve such results by using two thousand-person teams!" Brother Sang shook his head and chuckled.
"This... Maybe it was because the Southern Army underestimated the enemy and was defeated by the Wang family, which made this victory even more rare!" Ganmala said embarrassedly.
"Your Highness said very much that our army's new defeat demonstrates the importance of this victory. The court should praise it to boost the morale of the army!" Li Qian said.
True and false, no one here is involved, and who is just speculating. How to determine it still needs to be decided by Dahan, but at this time everyone seemed to find Dahan didn't say anything for a long time, just listening to their arguments quietly, looking at Zhen Jin, only to see his face calm, unable to see his joys and anger, but his eyes were extremely cold, so he just looked at them.
