Chapter 353 Victory or defeat.
Chapter 353 Victory or defeat.
The other civil servants were also shocked.
The generals were particularly excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood: "We were just about to raise an army to attack Xiahou Chang, and he came to us on his own. Isn't it God's help?"
Zhuge Feng waved his fan and frowned:
"Liaodong and our Yizhou are thousands of miles apart, so why did Gongsun Mu join forces with Xiahou Chang to oppose us? Tianxian Chanyu has no grudges against us, so why did he listen to Xiahou Chang?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Because Gongsun Mu and Xiahou Chang did not get along, there were constant minor frictions between the two sides and they often fought.
There is also the Northern Xiongnu's Tianxian Chanyu, who has nothing to do with Ye Kun.
Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "It was expected that the Northern Huns would attack the Little Wise King. Because we supported the Little Wise King, the Northern Huns felt threatened. I don't understand why Gongsun Mu from Liaodong wanted to attack me."
Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Yizhou.
Gongsun Mu's attack on Yizhou is definitely a losing business!
Even if their four-party coalition forces won, Gongsun Mu would not be able to get a piece of territory, and at most he could grab some gold, silver and jewelry.
Moreover, Xiahou Chang is like a tiger or wolf at the side, and he is the biggest threat to Liaodong.
Once Xiahou Chang eliminates Ye Kun, the next step will be to annex Liaodong, then go south to the Yangtze River, wipe out Xiao Dequan, and unify the world!
If Gongsun Mu had been clear-headed, he would have known that it is better to make friends with those far away and attack those nearby, and he should have joined forces with Ye Kun to deal with Xiahou Chang!
After thinking about it, Ye Kun still couldn't figure out what medicine Gongsun Mu had taken wrong.
At this time, Gongsun Erniang knelt down and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, Gongsun Mu of Liaodong started the rebellion because of me."
"because of you?"
"Yes." Gongsun Erniang nodded:
"Last autumn, I sent 18 Mohist warriors to Liaodong, intending to assassinate Gongsun Mu to avenge my family. However, the plan failed, and several of the warriors were captured by Gongsun Mu. Gongsun Mu was furious and went on an expedition to Yizhou at all costs."
"Is there such a thing?" Ye Kun was stunned.
Gongsun Erniang's entire family was wiped out by Gongsun Mu. Ye Kun knew about this a long time ago.
However, Gongsun Erniang acted on her own and sent people to assassinate Gongsun Mu, but Ye Kun was completely unaware of it.
When everyone heard this, they started talking about it.
Han Chun even accused Gongsun Erniang: "How can you treat national affairs like a joke? You offended Gongsun Mu for your own personal vendetta, but brought disaster upon Yizhou!"
Some civil servants even whispered that they wanted to tie up Gongsun Erniang and hand her over to Gongsun Mu to appease the anger in Liaodong.
"enough!"
Ye Kun suddenly raised his voice, interrupting everyone's discussion and said:
"My junior sister Gongsun Erniang did nothing wrong. Gongsun Mu is just as cruel and ruthless as Xiahou Chang. I will deal with him sooner or later. Everyone knows that our goal is to support the country and wipe out the princes from all directions. Therefore, Gongsun Mu was originally on our list of people to be wiped out!"
At this time, Ye Kun can only support Gongsun Erniang!
Han Chun said, "But if it weren't for this assassination, we could have done it slowly. Now that Gongsun Mu has been angered and Xiahou Chang has formed a four-party alliance, it's a disaster for us."
"wrong!"
Ye Kun laughed loudly and said, "Xiahou Chang formed a four-party alliance and launched a general attack on us. This is exactly our biggest opportunity. His coming is just what I want. It is God's help!"
Han Chun frowned: "King Hanzhong thinks that we can remain safe and sound under the attack of the four-party alliance and five armies?"
"Not only will I be safe and sound, I will also defeat the enemy!"
Ye Kun looked at everyone and analyzed the pros and cons:
"Even if the other side has a million troops, we also have 300,000. It's like a battle to defend a city. 300,000 troops defending the city, while a million troops attacking the city, will never be able to capture it. Our battle lines in various places are as solid as a rock. Not even a fly can fly over!"
The civil service group still doesn't quite believe it.
Seeing this, Zhuge Feng stood up and said, "The four-party alliance is coming with great momentum, but they have violated many military taboos. They will be defeated despite their large numbers! Everyone, please sit down and listen to me!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhuge Feng.
Zhuge Feng spoke passionately and pointed out the situation:
"The four-party alliance actually has its own agenda and is not a united front. Internal instability and mutual suspicion are taboos!
The battle line of the four-party alliance is too long, and it is impossible to coordinate and command in a unified manner. As a result, the actions will inevitably be chaotic, and each will fight on their own. These are the second taboos!
Tianxian Chanyu and the Liaodong troops had to travel a long distance across rivers and lakes, and they were not used to the climate and water there, and they were short of food and grass, which were the three biggest taboos!
The weather after the New Year is getting hotter, and as a large army gathers, all kinds of diseases are bound to breed, and even plagues may occur. These are the fourth taboos!
The enemy's armor and weapons are inferior to ours, and yet they take the offensive. These are the five taboos.
The four-party alliance has committed such a great military taboo, and will surely be defeated despite their numbers!"
After hearing this, everyone became more excited.
clap clap clap...
Ye Kun clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Zhuge's analysis of the situation is like reading a book on the palm of your hand. It can be said that he is very clear at a glance and hits the nail on the head!"
Guan Yafu also stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhuge, you just said that the four-party alliance has violated the military strategy, which is very much in line with my opinion. Although I am not talented, I would also like to talk about the way to victory and defeat."
Everyone nodded and listened attentively.
"From my point of view, Yizhou had ten victories, while Xiahou Chang had ten defeats. Let me tell you one by one!"
Guan Yafu cheered up and spoke vigorously:
"Although Xiahou Chang was cruel, he only knew how to stick to the old ways and didn't know how to change. I, Yizhou, reformed the old ways and established the new ways, following the way of heaven. This is called 'the way wins'.
Xiahou Chang appointed people based on personal connections and was unclear about rewards and punishments, which led to the demoralization of the people; the King of Hanzhong handled things according to the law, and the people at all levels were loyal to him. This is the example of "winning governance."
Xiahou Chang abused the emperor and imprisoned the emperor; but I, Yizhou, did not forget the court, cleared the emperor's side and punished the villains. This is a victory of righteousness.
Xiahou Chang was arbitrary and had no strategy, and after the failure he blamed his subordinates; the King of Hanzhong gathered ideas from all sides, was quick to adopt good advice, had grand plans and far-sighted strategies, and even had brilliant strategies for emergencies, this is the way to 'win by strategy'!
……
We in Yizhou now have countless artillery and muskets, which can kill the enemy from several miles away. The soldiers are armed to the teeth and their equipment is far superior to that of the enemy. This is a "military victory"!
The enemy army has suffered ten defeats, and our army has won ten victories. What is there to fear in the battle for supremacy in the Central Plains? It is now that a man should make achievements and establish his career! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
All the officials and generals stood up and applauded.
Ye Kun also applauded enthusiastically and looked at Guan Yafu with admiration.
This theory of ten wins and ten losses is no less than that of Guo Jia in the Three Kingdoms period!
After a long time, the applause gradually subsided.
Ye Kun drew his sword and said loudly:
"It's the same as before. Now that the decision has been made, there can be no doubt or retreat. We can solve the difficulties if there are any, but we must defeat the Four-Party Alliance. I will personally lead the army and fight Xiahou Chang to the death!
In the future, we will gather troops on the battlefield and fight for supremacy in the Central Plains!"
"Fight for the Central Plains, and never return until you win!"
The generals drew their swords and shouted in unison.
Ye Kun announced the adjournment of the meeting and rushed to the Longquan Mountain camp to hold a military meeting.
Gongsun Erniang was very moved. She followed Ye Kun and whispered, "Brother, thank you for speaking for me..."
