Chapter 127 Accidental Attack
After hearing Liu Ji's words, Yang Song finally knew what Liu Ji said.
Liu Ji meant that since the country of Welmet has occupied nearly twice the land, in order to prevent it from becoming stronger, the land before the country of Welmet has been split and weakened its land and power.
By the way, it can also add many vassal states to the Xia Kingdom. Because only the Xia Kingdom has this ability and its power will split, these divided forces can only rely on the Xia Kingdom, otherwise they will have to be annexed again in the end.
In addition, it can also solve the problem of trading in the naturalized city, so that the Fulimet country will no longer have the opportunity to block the business roads, and let many forces work together to serve the Xia country and contribute their strength to the development and growth of the Xia country.
This is the expected goal of Liu Ji's suggestion to send troops to punish him!
"Okay!" Yang Song nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Bowen's plan is still as profound as ever."
"The king is too good." Liu Ji bowed and replied: "This is all under the king's heroic rule. I have such a good plan. If I had not had so many advantages in my country, no matter how smart I had, it would be just a clever woman who could not cook without rice!"
Liu Ji's words are correct. If Xia State had not had such strong national strength, even if he had evil wisdom, he would have no choice, and would not have had the trouble of choosing a happy purpose like he is now - because there are too many choices!
Destroy the country, occupy, attack, eliminate part/living forces, split... So many choices are placed in front of Liu Ji and others and waiting for confirmation. Can you not worry? In the end, it is just for the best interests of Xia State!
"Since that's the case, Bowen, you will make a plan after you go back and propose it at the next court meeting." Yang Song agreed, but he still asked Liu Ji to follow the procedures and raise it at the court meeting for the ministers to discuss.
When the civil and military officials of the court agreed to Liu Ji's plan, it was the end of the 14th year of the Apocalypse. In the plan, a battle of punishment will be launched in the spring of the 15th year of the Apocalypse.
However, the plan is not as good as change. On the fifth day of the 15th year of the Apocalypse, Yang Song was still enjoying the New Year atmosphere with his family. Chen Ping hurriedly found Yang Song to report: "King, the country of Fuli Met is expected to attack its own country's Guihua City."
"What?" Yang Song was a little unbelievable when he heard this and asked, "The Fulimete Country dared to attack? What's going on?"
Yang Song recovered and felt very confused. Didn’t he say that the country of Fulimet was strictly guarding against Xia’s attack some time ago? Why did the opponent launch an attack first?
Chen Ping explained in detail: "Report to the King! The latest information from the country of Fulimet has been sent by Nanshan City to the south. According to its marching route, the target should be Shanhaiguan of the country."
"And, there are 50,000 troops in the small town of Fulimet, and the enemy troops coming to invade should be 150,000." Chen Ping expressed his analysis: "The 150,000 troops are not enough to capture Shanhaiguan. The enemy country should also know this. Therefore, according to my analysis, the enemy country's goal should be naturalized city."
Chen Ping's responsibilities are not just about being responsible for transmitting intelligence, but necessary analysis and judgment are also just the basis. An intelligence officer who does not understand military tactics, strategies, politics, people's livelihood... is not a qualified intelligence officer!
As for Chen Ping's judgment that the country of Fulimet knew that it could not be captured by Shanhaiguan with 150,000 troops, he knew that the country of Fulimet was still a talented person. The name of "The Brain of Fulimet" was very popular in Fulimet.
"Haha~!" After listening to Chen Ping's analysis, Yang Song was angry and laughed. Unexpectedly, he had not yet fought against Fulimete, and Fulimete actually attacked him first. Isn't this seeking death? Do you really think that these years of Xia Kingdom have been wasted?
Without saying a word, Yang Song directly ordered to the Jinyiwei outside the door: "Call Liu Ji, Li Jing, Xun Yu and the others here to see me!"...
After these people arrived at his study, Yang Song asked Chen Ping to explain the information just now.
After listening to Chen Ping's information, Li Jing first clasped his fists and said, "King, the country of Beiyi is so arrogant. I suggest sending troops to attack immediately!"
As soon as Li Jing finished his words, the other three agreed in unison: "I agree!"
After Xun Yu finished the discussion, he immediately continued: "King, the administrative work to attack Beiyi has been completed." Xun Yu said that he asked the various departments of the Administrative Department to cooperate with the Military Department's Military Department to mobilize militias and requisition railways and carriages.
Li Jing continued to report: "Report to the King! The army has also been prepared and can go to war at any time."
There was no need for Yang Song to ask in sequence, and these major ministers reported their respective preparations to him.
Because when they heard that the country of Welcoming was the first to invade, they all had anger that they were underestimated. So without saying much, they all knew the purpose of Yang Song calling them.
"Very good!" Yang Song nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered: "Order the departments to be prepared; order the entire army to mobilize..."
After a long list of orders, Yang Songxia said in a serious and profound tone: "Everyone, the war has begun!"
"Yes, the king, the ministers and others obey the order!"...
"Li Jing, start the arrangement!" Yang Song has appointed Li Jing as the candidate for the military commander this time.
"Yes, king, I obey the order!" Li Jing clasped his fists at Yang Song, turned around and ordered the messenger who had just arrived, "Order the First Brigade to enter Guihua City to give a speech and defend."
"Order the Second Brigade to immediately pull out from Tianqian Pass and take the train to Shanhai Pass."
"Order the cavalry brigade to bring enough dry food out of the customs, so that Huo Qubing can wait for an opportunity to move."
"Order the city guards to enter Shanhaiguan to defend."
"Order the Imperial Guards to set sail to Beidao County and be prepared to support at any time."
After all, Xia State was going to be ready to send troops to benefit the country of Met. The plan had already been made. At this time, it was just a little modification to win the defensive war first.
The military situation was so hot that Li Jing ordered in front of Yang Song so that the Xia army could act in advance. The Xia army at this time was not before the Tianshan Railway was opened, so we didn't have to worry about that moment.
Moreover, the Xia Kingdom used all the troops this time, except for the navy. After all, although the navy is powerful, this war is inland and there is no use of the navy at all.
This war is the first battle since the Xia army was "escalated". Yang Song has special attention to this war. He wants to see how powerful the army full of muskets can be!
As for why the country of Fulimet suddenly launched an attack on Xia, which made Xia's intelligence system not receive any news. This is no longer something that Yang Song can care about at present.
