Feasibility Study of Li Jing's Shocking Plan
Xiao Buyi, who was extremely envious by Li Shimin and was imitated by his idol, experienced Bashu with great enthusiasm and courage. Although the process was quite tortuous, with the joint efforts of several parties, he finally achieved a pretty good result for the overall situation without any danger: gaining a true love also stabilized Bashu and blocked the possibility of sending troops from Bashu to capture Jingxiang in Guanzhong. At the same time, Li Shimin had to accept impulse punishment because of his youth, and suffered the bitterness of defeat, which also made Li Yuan's situation worse.
It was in this case that Li Jing threw out his shocking plan that he might have been thinking about for a long time: first pacify the Jianghuai and Shandong, then seize Hebei and Yanyun, then attack the Turks, and finally destroy Guanzhong. This is a military strategic plan with clear steps and clear goals. We might as well analyze its feasibility.
At this point, there are still four major forces: Xiao Buyi, Guanzhong, Hebei, and Jianghuai of the Eastern Capital and Jingxiang. Xiao Buyi defeated Li Mi, removed the major troubles, and persuaded the Bashu Alliance to solve Jingxiang's worries. In addition, the underlings are full of talents. Whether it is Dongdu, Xiangyang can be said to be in harmony with the political and people, and its strength ranks first among all forces. The overlord of the imperial family in Guanzhong should be Li Yuan. Li Yuan has a long-term vision and took the lead in attacking Chang'an, and took advantage of the influence of many prominent families.
He called on all sides to quickly rise to become Xiao Buyi's biggest opponent. However, Li Shimin was defeated and Bashu was also lost. Liu Wuzhou also sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and was unable to look east for a while; Dou Jiande and Luo Yi in Hebei fought endlessly, and the two were of the local overlord type, and they had no ambitions to win the world and were not in trouble; Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong and others in the Jianghuai area were all small-scale fights, and the Jiangdu Xiaoguo army was overestimated and bravely went north to attack Dongdu, believing that destruction was about to perish.
The world is not yet determined, and smoke is everywhere. Although Li Yuan is in trouble, his foundation has not moved, and it is obviously not yet reached a desperate situation. Li Shimin, who has led the troops again, learned his lesson and fought steadily. Li Yuan contacted Li Gui to please the Turks. However, under the conspiracy of Li Jiadao, Xue Ju suddenly died suddenly. Xue Renguo is brave but not capable of defeat, and he may not be far away. At this time, Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan were helpless and could only annex the small forces around him as soon as possible to prepare for the final decisive battle.
The first half of Li Jing's plan to shock the sky, whether it is to pacify Jianghuai, Shandong, or seize Hebei, and Yanyun, at present, are all step by step and follow the right path. The reason why it is called shock the sky is nothing more than the plan to attack the Turks first and then destroy Guanzhong. Since ancient times, the grassland people have been the king of the horses. Before they develop into hot weapons, the farming people have never shown the advantage of civilization when fighting against the grassland people. Even Emperor Wu of Han in his heyday sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to the north to attack the Xiongnu was still a ten-year effort. Ten years of wealth accumulation was the battle, and the Sui Dynasty had always divided the Turks. In the later period of Yang Guang, there was a siege of Yanmen, which almost staged the humiliation of Tumu Fort in advance. For today's disputes, with the great enemy Li Yuan staring at him, Li Jing proposed to attack the Turks first, which was undoubtedly a risk.
However, the times changed, Xiao Buyi was not Yang Guang. At this time, the land of China was even better than that of the Han Dynasty. Four hundred years of suffering had tempered the sharpness of China. Why was the mere Turks too arrogant? If Xiao Buyi attacked the Turks, it could be said that he occupied the best time, place, and people.
In terms of heaven, Xiao Buyi supported King Yang Tong of Yue, and was not in a hurry to become emperor. When he attacked the Turks, he could claim that Yang Guang had revenge in the Yanmen siege. The Turks have repeatedly sponsored the heroes of the Central Plains recently. Their purpose was similar to the Sui Dynasty's strategy of dividing the Turks. It was nothing more than to disrupt the Central Plains and obtain some benefits. Li Yuan once told Li Shimin that the Turks abandoned Xue Ju and formed an alliance with him because they were too weak, which also confirmed the Turks' uneasy and kindness. Looking at the current situation, Li Yuan was about to defeat Xue Ju. When the Turks saw the change in their strength, they would probably
Choose one overlord again (such as Liu Wuzhou) to support Li Yuan. If he breaks his vow to send troops south, it will undoubtedly make Xiao Buyi's dispatch of troops more legitimate. Xiao Buyi can play the national card and even declare that he is willing to form a temporary alliance with Li Yuan to fight against the Turks together. If Li Yuan refuses, he will lose the people's hearts, and if he accepts it, it will be difficult to go back on his word. In addition, looking at Li Jing's words, he still needs to wait for an opportunity, such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, such as grassland plagues. Perhaps the Taiping Dao can help Xiao Buyi with his arm.
In terms of geographical advantage, Xiao Buyi's journey to the grassland has been in operation for a few years since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jing has been planning and setting the tone of only three years to prepare the cavalry when he destroyed the Turks. With Li Jing's style of planning and then acting, he said this, obviously not just because of the passionate and passionate man. He pursued victory in every battle. Last time, Li Jing disrupted the grassland with 300 cavalry, which not only demonstrated his super control over the cavalry and his flexible and changeable tactics, but also reflected his familiarity with the grassland. It can be said that Li Jing's understanding of the grassland and even the grassland people could not do it. In this way, the Turkish geographical advantage was gone.
The most critical aspects of people and aspects are actually in an advantageous position when fighting against the Turks during the Sui Dynasty. However, Yang Guang was stubborn and self-righteous, disobeyed people and was very happy to be praised, which made the heavens angry and resentful, and was besieged by the Turks. Xiao Buyi was convinced by benevolence, righteousness, virtue, and love. He gathered famous generals under him, and was united. The black armored iron cavalry was about to be trained to form a mass-produced curly shovel. Even in the Turks, the frontal heist was only stronger than the Turks, and Li Jing's surprise attack was even more difficult to predict. On the contrary, the Turks, all races planned their own paths, and the people were uneven. Ke Dun fought against the Khan for a long time and had great power. Xiao Buyi must fight for Ke Dun's strength; and with the support of Xiao Buyi, Asina, who was supported by Xiao Buyi, after several years of development, he probably had a certain strength and could give him a promise to make trouble in secret.
The strategies for attacking the Turks are divided into three types: one is formal declaration of war and frontal attack; the other is undeclared war and surprise attack; the third is a combination of two. After absorbing the Kedun power, some black-armored iron cavalry and confront the Turks head-on feint attack, and Li Jing led some light cavalry to the rear of the grassland, and joined forces with Ashi to attack his old nest and attack Turkic cavalry, and even used the Taiping Road to assassinate Shibi Khan.
In short, with Li Jing's strategy and strong cavalry, Xiao Buyi still has a great chance of winning against the Turks, and it does not require too much military force. The key point depends on whether Xiao Buyi can make reasonable arrangements and firmly block Li Yuan, so that Li Jing can concentrate on dealing with the Turks without being disturbed. The success or failure is difficult to predict, so we can only observe its development.
If Xiao Buyi was pacifying the Jianghuai and the Hebei areas, Li Yuan was still fighting in Guanzhong and had no time to take care of Xiao Buyi, then it would be no problem to attack the Turks; if Xiao Buyi had not been pacified in Hebei and Li Yuan was ready to advance eastward, Xiao Buyi would protect himself, and attacking the Turks would be a fantasy; if Xiao Buyi and Li Yuan solved their worries at the same time, on the one hand, they would run over Li Yuan with national justice, and at the same time send troops to prepare, and they would have to wait for an opportunity. Everything depends on which side moves faster, and time becomes the decisive factor.
At present, the Jiangdu Xiaoguo Army has no hope. Pei Ju probably wants to use rumors to dismantle Xiao Buyi within the two sects, and at the same time he has pulled Luo Yi as a backer. However, with the bearded guest, there should be no danger. Li Jing's encirclement and suppression of Lin Shihong is about to succeed, and the unification of the Jianghuai River is not far away. The duel between Li Yuan and Xue Ju has also entered the counterattack stage. Next, it is estimated that he will face the challenge of Liu Wuzhou, supported by the Turks. It is very likely that both sides will clear the small forces around at the same time and have a direct conversation.
In this case, Xiao Buyi, Li Yuan and Turks will form a three-legged tripod. Li Yuan was a humiliating friendship with the Turks. Since Xiao Buyi was unwilling to please the Turks, he would have to choose one side to start the war first. Guanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the Turks became the first choice. Therefore, when Xiao Buyi chose to fight against the Turks, Li Jing's shocking plan was both unexpected and a must-see.
