Chapter 992 pondering
Yin Huaixi calculated the best time and perfectly avoided the possibility of rushing to help Jingzhao, exactly.
Seriously terrified.
This war, Yin Huaixi has been planning for three years.
He has always been deceitful in his mind, and often takes one step and counts ten steps. Since he has calculated King Liang’s rebellion, he can definitely count all the problems he will face after King Liang’s rebellion.
From the day he sealed Wu Mu Ding North King and guarded the northern border, he has already begun to make arrangements.
In the past three years, the Di people have disturbed the northern border due to lack of materials.
He accompanies the Di people to make small troubles. Every time the Di people suffer losses in the north, they can always taste a little sweetness, so the Di people are like hungry dogs. .
The Di people frequently harassed the northern border, and the imperial court was afraid of the Di people, worried that the history of King Li of Zhou would repeat itself, so in the past three years, the court’s materials have gradually shifted to the northern border.
Since the current emperor ascended the throne, there have been two major battles in the border area.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
But compared with the vast land and resources of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the loss of the Di people was greater.
Di people need to rest and recuperate more than Da Zhou.
Bei Di was teased by Yin Huaixi, like a dog, for three years, because he had tasted the sweetness, and naturally he would not take a small loss in his eyes.
As long as they are not forced into a desperate situation, no one is willing to fight without absolute certainty.
But once Yin Huaixi was unwilling to give the Di people a taste of the sweetness, the Di people were forced to a desperate situation, and they would inevitably reckon with the consequences and launch a large-scale army.
The scale of the battle and the number of people participating in the battle often determine the length of the battle.
As the northern front is stretched, Yin Huaixi can give the feudal lord an illusion that the war in the northern border is tight.
At that time, King Liang hit Jingzhao, and King Wumu Dingbei was incapable of being able to rush to help Jingzhao.
After destroying King Liang and becoming the emperor himself, the world will be settled by then, and he will be able to fight back. On the grounds that King Wumu Dingbei refused to send troops to help Jingzhao, he invites his teacher to ask the guilt, and in the name of the emperor, decrees that Wumu Dingbeiwang surrender.
Once King Wumu Dingbei refused, he could justifiably send troops to attack.
The Northern Territory has just experienced a major battle, and the strength is not enough, and it is not enough to be afraid of.
Yin Huaixi has calculated the human nature of the people to the fullest, even when it comes to King Liang’s rebellion, and when it comes to Beidi’s aggressive attack, it also counts that other vassal kings can’t help but send troops to attack first.
Yu Youyao stopped talking.
Yin Huaixi knew her better, and when she looked at her, she could guess what she was thinking: “In the clan, there are a bunch of people who are greedy for life and fear of death. They won’t wait for King Liang to reach the capital. If you wink a little, you know that you pack your bags and run for your life to avoid disaster, but if you really can’t escape, it’s all life.”
Once King Liang enters Jingzhao, he will first use the Tianjia clan to pay homage to the heroic spirits of the soldiers sacrificed by King Liang in this battle with the blood of the Yin royal family.
But so what? !
Yin Huaixi said again: “I have guarded thousands of homes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but I am the only one who has no home.”
Yu Youyao’s breathing stagnated: “I understand.”
Yin Huaixi hated the Yin family more than anyone else. Although he had the blood of the Yin family on his body, after the family was destroyed, he was completely separated from the so-called clan family.
In the clan, there are many people who are connected with him by blood, but those people have basically cut off their relationship with their father and son after King Li of Zhou became a vassal.
King Li of Zhou was constrained by the gentry, and when it was difficult to move an inch in the northern border, he also asked for help from the clan who had a good relationship with him in the clan.
But those people are mostly avoided like snakes and scorpions.
Even, get down.
When King Li of Zhou was persecuted on trumped-up charges, there were old officials such as Mr. Lu Ge who stood up to speak for him.
But the relatives of the clan who are connected with his bloodline are hiding far away, for fear of being implicated, and many people have to step on them in order to please the emperor.
They also shared the tragic death of King Li of Zhou.
The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years, starting from Emperor Gaozu, and the clan has been passed down to the present. I don’t know how many generations, branches and branches from generation to generation, and only two or three direct lineages are really closely related to Yin Huaixi’s blood. , the rest of the people are also crowned with the name of the clan.
Yin Huaixi never cared about them.
Inside the house, it was a little too quiet.
Yin Huaixi drank the mutton soup and said, “Every autumn and winter in Xiangping City, the weather is particularly bitter and cold, and many local people who are born and raised can’t stand this day. I’ll take you to Liancheng, I’m in the best part of Liancheng. I bought a hot spring garden, and after refurbishment, it can be lived in.”
Yu Youyao couldn’t help but startled, and subconsciously said, “I’m not leaving…”
“You are obedient,” Yin Huaixi put down the soup bowl: “According to the report of the spies, Bei Di seems to have settled down a lot in recent days, and the number of nuisances in the northern border tends to decrease. This is probably a precursor to Bei Di’s deployment of troops. In a few days, I’m going to go to Jinzhou and deploy to meet the enemy, and then I won’t be able to care about Xiangping, which is next to Jinzhou…”
Yu Youyao didn’t speak, but she also understood that if Jinzhou was broken, Bei Di would go to Xiangping.
Jinzhou is the fortress that controls North China and Liaodong, guards the western Liaoning Corridor, and is related to Jingzhao and Liaodong Plain.
Entering North China from Liaodong must pass through Jinzhou, which is the necessary place for Beidi to enter the Central Plains.
If Jinzhou falls, the northern line of defense will collapse across the board, and Shanhaiguan will become the last barrier for Beijing and Tianjin.
Once Bei Di entered North China, it would be like entering a land of no one, and there would be no disadvantage.
Therefore, Jinzhou is the “throat of Shanhaiguan”, and Shanhaiguan is the “protection of the capital”. The two complement each other and form the strongest defense in the north.
At that time, Bei Di made a great effort to raise his troops and even broke through the Jinzhou line of defense for a time. At the critical moment, it was Yin Huaixi who defeated Harmon who went to Jinzhou to support him at the narrow Yuguan Pass, causing Harmon’s three thousand elite cavalry to be defeated and fleeing, fighting for King Li of Zhou. It’s time to retake the Jinzhou line of defense.
Jinzhou’s defense line is too important. If Jinzhou is not broken, most of the battle will be won. The famous and mighty Nurhaci in history all died on the Jinzhou defense line.
It is precisely because the You Army recaptured the Jinzhou defense line and re-armed the Jinzhou defense line, which laid the foundation for the victory in the north.
There is also a saying that Weininghou, who came to the aid later, stole the victory of Youzhou.
Seeing her bowing her head and not saying a word, Yin Huaixi explained, “Back then, when my father first came to the North, the Di people got the news and deliberately launched troops to attack, taking the opportunity to provoke the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I sent a team of elite soldiers, quietly sneaked into Xiangping City, and killed them all the way to Prince You’s Mansion. I am a little worried about letting you stay in Xiangping alone…”
