Nine Hundred and Forty: The 3 Cities Owed to Us Should Be Paid Back (2)
Sun Wen despised the fourth prince in his heart, but the expression on his face was that of an old god, as if the mountain had collapsed before him and his face remained unchanged.
The fourth prince also seemed to realize that he shouldn't drive in front of Sun Wen, leaving a frivolous impression, so he quickly changed the subject.
However, Sun Wen has always controlled the rhythm and smoothly brought the topic to the border issue.
"Mr. Sun, in your opinion, how to deal with the Liu family in Chongzhou?"
The fourth prince coveted Jiang Pengji, but he just wanted to use his male identity to gain a little sense of superiority and to increase his confidence.
Returning to reality, he is just the son of a slave girl, and he is not qualified to have an equal dialogue with Jiang Pengji.
Sun Wen raised his eyelids, and said calmly, "The fourth prince thinks that the priority now is to deal with the Liu family?"
The fourth prince's expression froze, with doubts on his face.
"The Liu family stationed troops on the frontier. Isn't it enough to look like an invading army? In other words, Mr. thinks that the inside should be settled before fighting against the outside world?"
The fourth prince asked in a reserved manner.
Now, is it more important to deal with Liu Xi, or to kill his competing brothers first.
Sun Wen smiled, and asked the fourth prince, "If the Liu family sends troops now, how should Northern Xinjiang respond?"
The fourth prince was dumbfounded.
"She can't do that."
Even if Beijiang is a skinny camel, it is much bigger than Liu Xi's horse.
She, a little prince, dares to take the initiative to attack northern Xinjiang?
Who gave her the courage?
Sun Wen asked again, "What if Mrs. Liu did this?"
The fourth prince proudly said, "If she dares to come, she will accept it!"
Sun Wen smiled coldly, with a mocking arc hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Wrong, if the Liu family comes here, it will be Beijiang who will retreat steadily."
After hearing this, the fourth prince was furious.
Just as he was about to get angry, Sun Wen said without hesitation, "A horse plague destroyed most of Northern Xinjiang's combat power, and then fell into a slump. Wu Liba offered a plan to buy Cangzhou mares at a high price, hoping that Northern Xinjiang will recover quickly. This It's a good idea, but he forgot that buying mares at a high price gave Northern Xinjiang a chance to be reborn from Nirvana, but it also put itself in a situation where it would never be possible to recover! As long as the princes of the Central Plains perceive the appearance of Northern Xinjiang's external strength, they will gather their forces , there will be another 'Huangshui League', what about northern Xinjiang?"
The fourth prince's face darkened instantly.
Even if he is in the northern border, he also knows that the Huangshui Huimeng gathers the twenty-three princes of Dongqing, with a total of more than 400,000 soldiers and horses.
The current situation in northern Xinjiang is really not to be offended.
As the prince of the northern Xinjiang royal family, the fourth prince knows the internal situation of northern Xinjiang best.
Even though he told himself over and over again that the northern Xinjiang cavalry was invincible, seven or eight out of ten of the cavalry were indeed destroyed after the horse plague.
Without the cavalry, Northern Xinjiang's advantage in the battle against the Central Plains has been greatly cut off.
In order to realize the ambition of taking control of the Central Plains, the northern Xinjiang royal family worked hard and worked for several years.
Now is the critical juncture of restoring vitality, and there is no room for loss.
If the news leaked out at this time - the fourth prince secretly clenched his fists.
"Liu Xi didn't dare to do this, other princes may not respond to her call—"
Sun Wen coldly poured a basin of cold water, "That's not necessarily the case. There is an old saying in the Central Plains - people who are not of our race must have a different heart. The threat of Northern Xinjiang to Dongqing can be seen from the four tribes of Nanman to Nansheng Kingdom." .In order not to follow in the footsteps of Nansheng, the princes will definitely respond."
The fourth prince's face was like gold paper, with no blood at all.
Following Sun Wen's train of thought, the more he thought about it, the colder his sweat broke out.
Liu Xi is not a prince who plays cards according to common sense. She started to station troops in Chongzhou a few years ago, garrisoning fields and grain, with a posture of sharpening her sword.
It's hard to say whether this lunatic woman will give up her life and bear Beijiang to death.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the people of the Han family did not lack lunatics, let alone the righteous spirit of sacrificing their lives for righteousness.
Their arrogance and integrity, even though Northern Xinjiang respects Han culture, still can't understand that stupid idea of self-sacrifice.
The fourth prince hurriedly asked, "Mr. Sun, you must teach Gu!"
Sun Wen laughed, "It's only natural.
"
With a smile on his face, he turned and greeted Wei Ci hundreds of times in his heart.
Wei Ci is so insane that he even squeezes the labor force of the elderly to the limit.
First, he was asked to alienate the nine princes of northern Xinjiang. He worked hard and died without knowing how many brain cells, and finally achieved initial results.
Before he had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, Wei Ci sent him another letter.
This time the content was even more extreme, and he was actually asked to assist Liu Xi to regain most of the territory of Shangyu County that had been occupied by Northern Xinjiang for more than 20 years.
When Northern Xinjiang invaded, the entire Shangyu County fell, and all six cities were lost.
Although Mr. Yuan Jing went to northern Xinjiang to recapture the three cities, there are still three cities in the palm of Northern Xinjiang.
If you can't even take back these three cities, what are you talking about recovering northern Xinjiang?
Jiang Pengji was worried, Wei Ci naturally tossed and turned.
So this big hat was put on Sun Wen's head.
Let's go, Sun Zaidao!
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
"Wen has a plan, you can abandon the car to save the handsome, and kill the birds with one stone." Sun Wen smiled meaningfully.
Counting birds with one stone?
The fourth prince bowed to the end, "I also ask Mr. Sun to enlighten me."
After Sun Wen's analysis, the fourth prince came to his senses suddenly, as if seeing the sun through the clouds.
Not to mention the large number of soldiers in Chongzhou, all of them are elite, and there are even rumors that these elite soldiers have been trained for more than three years.
What is the concept of three years?
Regardless of whether it is the Central Plains or northern Xinjiang, the soldiers who have been carefully trained for three months can already be called elite soldiers.
What should a soldier who has been trained for more than three years be called?
The Liu family in Chongzhou is indeed a tough enemy.
If it is not removed, it is really difficult to feel at ease.
"The fourth prince also knows that it is not suitable to go to war in northern Xinjiang today, but we can't let the Chongzhou side see the clue." Sun Wen's deep voice came to his ears, just like the teaching of the master of the academy, the fourth prince subconsciously straightened his back and listened. "If that's the case, why don't you find another way and abandon the car to save the handsome man. Aren't those three cities in Shangyu County, Chongzhou, the best waste?"
After the fourth prince heard this, he felt unhappy for a while, and he looked at Sun Wen with appraising and suspicious eyes.
The Sun Wen in front of him is also a member of the Han family.
"Sir, do you mean to abandon those three cities?"
Sun Wen didn't seem to see the suspicion and defense of the other party, and smiled mysteriously, "No."
The fourth prince was stunned and pestered, "Please don't play tricks on the lonely king, sir, just say what you want."
"For Northern Xinjiang, the three cities are not even as good as tasteless."
The fourth prince interrupted him, "How dare you say such a thing, sir?"
There was a little killing intent in his heart.
Sun Wendao, "I am afraid that the fourth prince does not know the situation in the three cities? The Han people either escaped or died, or they were caught as slaves and sold everywhere. The fertile land was idle and no one cultivated it; People repaired; the city wall was deserted, and no one guarded it. The people in the city, but how many Han people are still operating properly? For northern Xinjiang, what is the difference between such a place and a slum?"
The three cities have been abandoned, without any value, and even their strategic value is greatly reduced.
The once prosperous city is now just a place where horse bandits or criminals in northern Xinjiang hide their dirt.
Like the southern barbarians, the nature of destruction and plunder far outweighs governance.
They can rob, kill and seize, but they can't manage well.
The fourth prince was angry and annoyed, but he didn't dare to kill Sun Wen, because there was not a single false word in what the other party said.
