Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1090
[Chapter 1090 Profound]
Clear sky and green grass, cloudless in thousands of miles.
As time entered June, even Ebony City gradually became hotter.
For more than a day, Chang Wei, who was in Ebony City, got the situation of the battle in Mount Atai. .
He was satisfied when he learned that all the Tusman reinforcements had been wiped out.
On the one hand, he ordered Chen Hu to hand over the body of the second grand duke to a group of Tusman soldiers to send it back, and on the other hand, he also sent the news to Tongguan.
About a month or so, the camel caravan and intelligence arrived at Tongguan successively.
And reached the Promise Palace through the telegram battle at the same level.
“Great. After the Beidi Khan Court, we took down Ebony City again, and Dasong’s homeland was lost again. Next, only Tubo and the snowfield to the north are left.” In the
imperial study room, Zhao Xu looked excited after reading the telegram.
After taking down Ebony City, the territory Beidi once occupied would be completely merged into Dasong.
In addition, there are Tubo occupied by Ashur and the Northeast Snowfield occupied by Ross State.
However, after Chang Wei took Khan Court, the Ross army previously stationed in Heilonghebei chose to withdraw northward.
This area was once ceded by Beidi to the country of Ross.
Now they have given up on their own initiative.
Zhao Xu knew that it wasn’t because of the kindness of the Ross people.
They knew very well that after the demise of Beidi, they were simply unable to defend the area north of the Heilong River.
Instead, it is better to retreat north and defend the fortress they have operated in the snow field for many years.
At the same time, use their characteristics of being more resistant to severe cold to fight against the Great Song army.
And after the country of Ross adopted this strategy, it meant that Da Song had won all the three northeastern provinces without any effort.
Now, Yang Zhen has led the Xuanwu Army to take over these territories, and the Ningjin Railway will also be further extended to the northeast.
But to Yang Zhen, he was obviously both happy and depressed.
Happily, they expanded the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Army without any effort, but depressingly, their original summer military plan fell through.
If they want to fight against the country of Ross, they have to continue going north, which means that the Xuanwu army will have to face a colder environment.
But even so, this still couldn’t stop his enthusiasm for attacking the snow field.
However, after Zhao Xu took over the entire Northeast region, he stopped the actions of the Xuanwu Army.
Because they don’t want to fight a war on three fronts at the same time.
In the direction of Tianzhu, a war of unprecedented scale is about to start.
In the direction of Zhongtu, Chen Hu’s Lancers and Chang Wei’s Central Army need to continue to attack westward to contain the entire Tusman Empire’s troops.
Moreover, Chang Wei’s ruthless methods this time will probably allow the Tusman Empire and the armies led by Chang Wei and Chen Hu to focus on a long-term battle for supremacy in Middle-earth.
In these two directions, the scale of war in one direction is large, and the ammunition consumed will be extremely large.
It is very difficult to supply ammunition in one direction, and it will consume more manpower and material resources.
If he ordered Yang Zhen to go deep into the snowfields to fight against the Russian army, this third-front war would be difficult to sustain financially.
For Zhao Xu, this is exactly what he doesn’t want to see.
Because if this is the case, the crazy expansion of reckless will become ****.
He will indeed take over a vast territory in a short period of time, but the huge consumption that will follow will empty Dasong’s treasury and eventually drag down Dasong’s development.
Therefore, he immediately decided to stop the fighting on the northern front, and only let Yang Zhen and Chen Bing Heilonghe take a defensive stance temporarily.
After the war in Tianzhu is over, wait for an opportunity to go north.
“Your Majesty, you must not use troops in these two directions for the time being. Dasong is governed by chaos. Everyone thinks of peace. Wars are frequent. The soldiers and the people will be tired of war. The most important thing is that the army is out all the year round, and it is easy to become a town. After all The general is away, and the emperor’s order is not acceptable.”
Liu Fu was also in the imperial study, and he was reporting government affairs to Zhao Xu.
Hearing Zhao Xu mention Tubo and the northeast direction, he couldn’t sit still for a while, thinking that Zhao Xu was going to use troops again.
“Hahaha… Liu Shoufu doesn’t have to worry, I don’t mean that.” Zhao Xu shook his head helplessly.
Of course, he had considered all of what Liu Fu said.
Therefore, after defeating the Western-Turkish Allied Forces in the Battle of Tianzhu, he will stop and consolidate the results of the war during this period, and will no longer expand the war blindly.
As for the direction of Zhongtu, he was bluffing.
As soon as the Tianzhu War is over, the Central Army will retreat, mainly handing over to Chen Hu’s Lancers.
And to deal with Tusman, he will not all adopt the method of war. He already has an idea to disintegrate Tusman’s hegemony in Middle-earth.
As for Liu Fu’s talk about the transformation of foreign troops into feudal towns, he is naturally also vigilant.
After all, he is the emperor now, and he has more far-reaching considerations.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Protectorate of the Southern Regions, and the Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and White Tiger armies all guard one side, and it is easy to form interest groups in the long run.
As for the way to deal with this hidden danger, he has absorbed the experience of various dynasties, and he has naturally taken precautions.
The first is that Da Song’s army must eat the imperial rations, that is, the army’s finances must be held in the hands of the imperial court.
The second one is also what he will implement soon.
Qin Shan, Guan Tong, Chen Hu, Ma Han and other important generals will be rotated every three years.
This year Qin Shan is in charge of the Qinglong Army, and three years later he may be in charge of the White Tiger Army, so as to prevent the possibility of the various armies forming small groups.
