Chapter 40 The Stratagem(2/2)
Compared with the Khitan people, Yelujing believed in the Han people more.
I feel that the Han people know how to be loyal and patriotic, while most of the Khitan people want to rebel against themselves, which is not trustworthy.
As for Xiao Siwen, although he is also a Khitan, he is a bit unsatisfied. After all, he is his brother-in-law and worthy of trust.
Yelujing told the three of them that they wanted to retreat, but unexpectedly encountered opposition from Gao Xun and Han Kuangsi.
Gao Xun said at the time: "Your Majesty led troops to support Nanjing, and retreated so easily at the loss of troops. This will damage your Majesty's prestige and should not be done."
Han Kuangsi looked further and said: "As soon as your Majesty withdraws his troops, Jizhou, Shunzhou and Tanzhou will not be protected. With the Yanshan Defense Line in the Central Plains, it will not be easy for our army to go south to the Central Plains in the future. This quiet place
The land of Yan was acquired by two generations of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong with great effort. Once lost, it will be extremely difficult to get it back."
Xiao Siwen also advised: "The land of Youzhou is related to our hegemony of the Liao Dynasty. Only by taking control of the land of Youyan can we lead the royal army southward, destroy the princes, and seize the world."
Although Xiao Siwen was from the Liao Dynasty and did not know much about military affairs, he had the best temperament. He already regarded the Liao Dynasty as the country of the emperor, while the Central Plains, Jiangnan, Xishu and other places in the south were all separatist vassals.
When Yelujing saw what the three people said, and also learned that Fu Yanqing did not come here with Tianxiong's army, and that the leader was Fu Yanqing's son Fu Zhaoxin, he stopped mentioning the retreat.
Yelujing did not hesitate and directly convened a military meeting.
Just like what Luo Youdu said.
Everyone has read the Art of War and knows the Thirty-Six Strategies.
The difference lies in how to use it and how to understand it.
No one can hide something that is basically visible from anyone.
The Khitans did not waste time discussing whether to fight, but directly discussed how to fight and who to send to fight.
Yelvwansi volunteered to stand up.
