Chapter 303: The timing was excellent.
The Northern Hu regime experienced turmoil, and the border city separated from the Northern Hu territory. The current border king of the border city is the son of the former Aqige.
These messages quickly reached Changsheng Gong.
As soon as the news arrived, the generals of the Weiyuan Army gathered in Changsheng Gong's tent.
"My lord, the Northern Hu are currently preoccupied with their own troubles. We should take advantage of their chaos and seize the remaining twelve border cities in one fell swoop."
Then they marched north along the border fortress, heading straight for the Northern Hu imperial court.
"In that case, the Northern Hu will be destroyed, and the northern lands of Dayu will enjoy lasting peace," a general suggested.
"Yes! General, this is a rare opportunity. Taking down the Northern Hu in one fell swoop would be an unparalleled achievement."
"This is a rare opportunity!" another general suggested.
"The Northern Hu have been harassing Dayu for decades. Now that the new emperor of Dayu has ascended the throne, they dare to send troops to attack Dayu. This is the behavior of a villain."
We don't need to be polite to this kind of person.
......
The generals took turns expressing their opinions.
Chang Shenggong's mind was a bit confused.
In the past, he would have simply waved his hand and led his army to take over all the border cities.
But now...
With that guy in the border town, it's not a place he can just lay his hands on.
Chang Shenggong still remembers how shocked he was when the guy who had been missing for three years appeared in front of him.
"General, I admire your dedication to the Great Yu."
Don't worry, I'm confident in entrusting Weiyuan Army to you.
Similarly, Shen would also give Da Yu a generous gift.
The Northern Hu will no longer have any opportunity to harass Dayu.
That person took ten years.
But now, in just three years, he has transformed the border town.
That's not all; they also allowed the border town to break away from the Northern Hu and become an independent trading city.
Meanwhile, the Northern Hu people also fell into internal strife.
He accomplished something that even an army of 100,000 might not be able to do.
"Old general, I actually have only one wish."
That means the soldiers of Dayu will never have the chance to go to the battlefield...
The words of Duke Dingguo Shen Huaichen kept popping into Changsheng Gong's mind.
Every soldier's wish is to go to the battlefield to fight for their country, to shed their blood on the battlefield, and to die on the battlefield...
Even the ever-victorious general only thought about making achievements on the battlefield.
But Shen Huaichen hoped that his soldiers would have no battles to fight...
Chang Sheng Gong felt that, in terms of spiritual realm, he was still a step behind Ding Guo Gong...
......
"The first heavy snow in the north is coming soon!" Chang Shenggong suddenly said.
The generals, still brimming with passion and fervor in their tents...
"General...you mean..." The leading general looked at Chang Shenggong with a puzzled expression.
Chang Sheng Gong didn't speak, but simply pointed to some cities on the map and began to analyze.
"It's already November, and the snow in the north will be here soon. The sky has been overcast these past two days, and the north wind has picked up."
Once it snows, the northern lands will become virtually impassable.
Compared to the cities of the Northern Hu, the weather in the northern regions was somewhat better when it snowed heavily.
When the city is truly sealed off by heavy snow, the northern Hu region will be even more bitterly cold than the northern lands.
It's right for Da Yu to beat a dog when it's down.
But I can't bear to fall into such a miserable situation just to kick someone when they're down.
Now we see the Northern Hu's imperial court in complete chaos.
However, if Dayu were to attack Beihu, they would unite to deal with Dayu.
We have no knowledge of the city's defenses in Beihu.
The weather was bitterly cold, but this was not a big problem for the Northern Hu people.
At that time, our army in Chongqing would not have faced a situation with favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support.
"If the battle becomes a stalemate, the only ones who will suffer losses will be the army of Dayu." Changsheng Gong slowly analyzed the possible battle situations.
Everyone fell silent.
Chang Shenggong is right.
Climate will be their biggest obstacle.
They will suffer the greatest losses if they are caught in a fierce battle in the territory of the Northern Hu when heavy snow is falling.
Moreover, the Northern Hu people are fierce and have an innate hostility towards the Dayu people.
If we attack the Northern Hu while they are in disarray, they are very likely to stop their internal strife and instead attack the Great Yu...
"Sir, do you mean to wait for the right opportunity?" the leading general asked in a low voice.
Chang Sheng Gong didn't speak, but just looked at the map on the table.
It wasn't until everyone was starting to feel uneasy that Changsheng Gong pointed to the location of the border city.
"Sometimes, we don't have to fight the battles."
"Look, wasn't it their own border fortress that drove back the Northern Hu army this time?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Chang Sheng Gong ignored everyone's expressions and continued pointing to the location of the border city.
"Border cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and have always been regarded as a barrier by the Northern Hu people."
But now the Northern Hu can't even get past its own barriers.
I actually think it's quite nice to watch them fight each other.
Firstly, it would deplete their own strength; secondly, the war wouldn't be taking place on the land of Dayu, which is ultimately a good thing.
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits; we can just sit back and watch the show."
No one spoke.
When Chang Shenggong saw that they were all silent, he knew that they were eager to go to the battlefield.
“Someone once told me that his greatest wish was for the soldiers of Dayu to have no more battles to fight.”
Now, I hope so too.
You must remember, only when we are strong will others not dare to attack us.
Not fighting doesn't mean we're useless.
It is precisely because we are strong enough that no one dares to attack us.
Furthermore, with the new emperor ascending the throne, many things are still in the process of transition. The stability of the north does not mean that other places are also stable.
To the south and west, foreign tribes were eyeing Dayu.
Do you believe it? As long as war breaks out in the North, there will definitely be conflict between those two places.
At this time, the northern region should remain as is if possible.
Even if there's a war to fight, let their border cities fight it out themselves!
Only then did the generals realize why the old general was no longer fighting.
Once war breaks out, the entire Chongqing region will be mobilized.
War is possible not only in the north, but also in the west and south.
The ascension of the new emperor of Dayu coincided with a time when various forces sought to test Dayu's strength...
"Sir, we were short-sighted!" the leading general said with shame.
Chang Shenggong waved his hand dismissively.
"Didn't many merchants get stopped before?"
Starting tomorrow, merchants will be permitted to travel to the border city.
On the one hand, it's about getting by so everyone can make a living; on the other hand, it's about gathering more information.
"Yes! We'll post a notice first thing tomorrow morning, saying that merchants are free to travel to the border city." The generals below immediately agreed to read it.
