The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 447 If the enemy can go, I can go too!

Yunzhou.

Gu Jingzhi grinned as he carefully read the military report sent by Wu Song. As he read, he said, "Excellent! Wu Song is worthy of his reputation as a good general. He burned over 100,000 Beili cavalrymen in one go. Without these 100,000 cavalrymen, our Great Xia's northern border will officially switch to a state of alternating offense and defense."

Upon hearing this, the generals waved their fists and said excitedly, "Great! In this battle, we will annihilate 500,000 enemies. In this way, Beili will be completely emptied!"

"General, I request to be the vanguard and attack Beili's homeland!"

"General, if you want to attack Beili's homeland, I am willing to go!"

"Commander..."

At this time, the generals in the army no longer dared to look down on Gu Jingzhi, and no one dared to mention that he was a civil servant.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the crowd eager to try and just smiled. He saw Li Sheng standing aside in silence and couldn't help but say, "General Li, the soldiers have volunteered. Do you want to lead the team to Beili?"

"..."

Li Sheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Stop teasing me!"

As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Territory, he was betrayed while inspecting border defense issues, which resulted in him being seriously injured and falling into a coma. This also brought huge military disaster to the Northern Territory. He could only smile bitterly and had nothing else to say!

Gu Jingzhi knew what he was thinking and stopped teasing him. He smiled and said, "The soldiers think this is the best time to attack Beili. I see you are silent, so I guess you have some ideas! Why not just speak directly!"

After hearing this, Li Sheng said seriously, "General, now is not the time to attack Beili!"

Although he is the commander-in-chief of the northern border, Gu Jingzhi is now the commander-in-chief commanding the war in the north, so he has to obey orders.

After Li Sheng expressed his thoughts, the generals were curious. However, Gu Jingzhi raised his lips and said, "Then please tell us the reason, General Li!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng immediately stood up and said calmly, "General, and all the generals, it's true that Beili is currently empty. If our army marches directly north, it won't be difficult to capture several states in Beili!"

"However, the Liyue army in the northwest has not yet been dealt with. Now that Beili has suffered a great loss, I am afraid that in order to protect the border, the relationship between the two northern countries will become even closer."

"Liyue's commander, Wu Tianyao, is an even more formidable opponent. Previously, he was restricted by wars with other nations, separated by Beili. But now that Beili is weak, they will certainly need help from Liyue. This means that the logistical supply problem that has held Wu Tianyao back will no longer exist!"

"Now, the soldiers stationed in the north are still capable of mobilizing more than 300,000 troops. It may seem like a lot, but if we attack Beili's homeland, Wu Tianyao will definitely raid our rear!"

"Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in a matter of moments. Therefore, I believe that attacking Beili is not a good idea. Instead, our army must turn around and head west to cooperate with the Northwest Army to keep Wu Tianyao on this battlefield!"

After Li Sheng finished speaking, the entire tent fell silent.

A good while.

"Clap clap clap..."

Gu Jingzhi clapped his hands, looked at Li Sheng with a smile on his face, and said, "The general is worthy of being the general of our Great Xia, and worthy of being a commander-in-chief ranked among the world's famous generals. This vision is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

As he spoke, he looked at the other generals, his expression becoming serious. He said, "I know you are all just military commanders, and it's difficult for you to understand some things. However, as generals, have you ever thought about..."

"Why did the three peaceful kingdoms... and even the southern barbarians, send out their troops at the same time?"

"Also, how did they find General Li's location so accurately that they even sent 500,000 troops, joining forces with the other two families, totaling a million troops, to fight a war that had no real chance of winning?"

He glanced at everyone one by one, and everyone he saw slowly lowered their heads.

Gu Jingzhi gained a lot of prestige from this battle. Except for Emperor Taizu, no other general had ever encountered such a big battle.

Seeing everyone's silence, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but say, "There's no such thing as an invincible general. However, as a general, I think everyone wants to win. But if after a battle, you can't even understand the enemy's combat intentions, even if you win, it will be short-lived!"

"You might even feel complacent about this small victory, so..."

"What awaits you will be an even greater defeat!"

The sound is not loud, but it is deafening.

Everyone looked ashamed.

Qiao Zhen thought for a moment, then he stepped forward and broke the silence, asking, "Marshal, what should our army do next?"

"Follow General Li's instructions and destroy Wu Tianyao first!"

As he spoke, Gu Jingzhi paused, and Erhu brought a few people to unfold a large map, which was a full map of the entire northern part of Daxia from west to east.

Gu Jingzhi pointed to a spot and said, "This is the original habitat of the Northwestern foreign tribes. Because of the mutual trade and the currency reform of Daxia, the foreign tribes here have become inseparable from Daxia!"

"In other words, these foreign tribes are just like other vassal states of Daxia!"

"Because they were severely damaged in the battle with my Great Xia several years ago, they were unable to withstand Li Yue's attack this time. My Great Xia was attacked from three sides and failed to fulfill its obligations as the suzerain state!"

"General Li is right! If we attack Beili's homeland now, Beili will definitely make changes to protect their territory. By then, Wu Tianyao's hundreds of thousands of troops will become a serious threat to us!"

"My suggestion is that before Beili and Liyue finish their negotiations, we should send troops as soon as possible and cooperate with the Northwest Army to cut off all of Liyue's minions at the border of Daxia!"

"First, to ensure that Great Xia will have absolute dominance at the border in the future and eliminate potential threats! Second, the northwestern foreign tribes have long since signed documents pledging their allegiance to Great Xia. They pay tribute annually, receive Great Xia's protection, use Great Xia's currency, and learn Great Xia's etiquette and laws..."

"Although no one in the court has expressed their views, they have become a barrier to the northwest of Great Xia. You are all generals leading troops. You should understand one thing: if your soldiers are wronged, how can you, as generals, not care for them and protect them, earn their support?"

"The same is true for the Northwestern tribes and our Great Xia!"

"Therefore, I have decided to send troops to the northwest to let all the nations know that Great Xia is not so easily bullied, and that our vassal states cannot be invaded at will! The consequences of provoking Great Xia... will be very serious!"

"The Northwest, where the invaders can go, I can go too!"
