Chapter 367: The Plan

The banquet was only halfway through, Zhang Shouyue, Gao Yuan and Zhou Yu were already all avoiding the banquet, Fufeng and the Ye family should have their own Zhang family brothers to preside over the reception, and the first should be the female dependents, except for the beginning Ye Jinger and Gao Yuan came out together to toast everyone with a glass of wine, they have been accepted into the Zhang Mansion Inner House, where they have their own female relatives of the Zhang family to accompany them.

The departure of the three big men in the middle of the crowd was not surprising, they had their own important things to discuss, but their departure made everyone in the second seat completely free from their restraints, and the hall immediately became lively, shouting five and six guessing fists and drinking sounds, one after another, mixed with various voices of pride or anger.

On this occasion, Zhang Shubao is naturally like a fish in water, he grew up in the military camp, and he is comfortable coping with this situation, and then look at the eldest brother Zhang Junbao, although he also forced himself to gag with these rude generals, but the reluctance could not be concealed.

However, he has changed a lot, which makes Zhang Shubao a little vigilant. It seems that the eldest brother has already realized his shortcomings, and is desperately trying to make up for this gap, but it is freezing three feet, not a day's cold, most of these generals have not read many books, and they are straightforward.

In the study, before Zhou Yu spread out the map, he had clearly explained the strategic plan drawn up by Zhou Yuan to conquer Donghu and Gao Zhang, and his palm was on the map, Zhou Yu looked at the two with blazing eyes, "Two, is there anything you can add to this plan of the captain?" ”

Is there any addition, not to ask if there are any objections, that is to say, this is simply the strategy that has been decided, Gao Yuan is silent, but Zhang Shouyue is a little uncertain, he and Gao Yuan have been staying on the front line of the battle with Donghu, such a big strategic plan. The two of them didn't even hear about it, Zhou Yuan stayed in Jicheng, and he made it himself, which was too hasty.

The three people, advancing separately, attacked and Lin together, looking at this plan that seemed to have no loopholes, Gao Yuan smelled some conspiracy from it, and sure enough, as Jiang Jiaquan expected, he had the biggest problem. Because Yulin is on the road of its own advancement, and because of the conflict between itself and Donghu in the past two years, this nation has become deeply vigilant about itself, and it is actually the most powerful part of Donghu that is distributed on the road of its own advancement.

Weakened, attrition? Gao Yuan's brow furrowed slightly. If it stops there, it's easy to deal with, but is it really so? Gao Yuan didn't dare to underestimate Zhou Yuan, let alone Lord Ning Zechengning, who was gentle and innocent.

"General Zhou!" Gao Yuan said: "Three people." The imperial army is in the center, with more than 100,000 men and horses, all of whom are elites, but I am on the left side of the Eastern Army. The number of soldiers and horses that can attack will not exceed 5,000 at most, the strength is weak, and there is Yulin, an important town in Donghu, in front of it. There are many difficulties, and the right side of the Zhang Junshou army, the main elite is not more than 10,000 people, the others are just armed young and strong, but also appear thin, if the three-way attack is changed to a two-way combined attack, I and Zhang Junshou two people in one place, the main attack on the left side, so that the strength can be concentrated, to the enemy and a greater blow. ”

Zhang Shouyue nodded, "Yes, the Donghu people are mainly cavalry, and the speed of maneuvering is extremely fast, it is difficult to find a decisive battle with their main force, Zhou Taiwei's style of play, concentrating troops like Mount Tai to press the realm, is naturally good, but the Donghu people will not be so stupid, they will inevitably maneuver and detour, looking for our weak points, in this way, I and Gao Yuan's left and right roads will be dangerous." If Donghu gathers a large number of soldiers to attack all the way, except for the middle lane, Gao Yuan and I will not be able to resist it. Although the middle road is strong, after all, it is mainly a foot soldier, even if it is found that there is a dangerous situation on the left and right roads, it is too late to rescue, but there is a rout on the left and right roads, so this expedition to Donghu will inevitably be anticlimactic. ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "What Zhang Junshou said is very reasonable, Taiwei Zhou often lives in Jicheng, and he doesn't fight much with the Donghu people, and I am afraid that he doesn't know much about this big enemy, they will not have a hard shock face to face with you, come and go like the wind, fight and leave, the vast land of Liaodong has given them great strategic room for maneuver, and they are not dragged down by military food logistics, so these three ways of attacking are probably not very safe." ”

He paused for a moment and glanced at Zhou Yu's somewhat ugly face, "Actually, Zhang Junshou said politely before, if I lose all the way on the left and right, I am afraid that the result will not be a tiger, but a tragedy, the Donghu cavalry only needs to defeat one of our roads, and then they can make a detour and cut off the back road of the middle road army, and then the food and grass will be short, the soldiers will be low, and the 100,000 middle road army will disappear." ”

Zhou Yu heard the two of you and me, and in a blink of an eye, he denied the strategy formulated by Tai Lieutenant for nothing, his heart was angry, but his face was impassive, "The two of you don't know, this plan formulated by Tai Lieutenant Zhou is actually based on one reason, so we ask for speed and speed, so that we can surround the enemy in Helin in the shortest possible time, gather and annihilate it, and the only requirement to achieve this goal is to be fast." ”

"What is the reason?" Zhang Shouyue asked.

"I think Zhang Junshou also received some news from Donghu, Miranda, the king of Donghu, is about to die!" Zhou Yu smiled.

"Some time ago, there was indeed news that Miranda was seriously ill, but to say that he was going to die, I'm afraid it would be an exaggeration, Miranda, the lion, even if he is lying in bed, he can't take it lightly." Zhang Shouyue said solemnly: "I have fought with this person for decades, and I know that it is powerful, although I have defended Liaoxi over the years, I can only rely on Jiancheng to say, and for the plundering of my western Liaoxi border by the Donghu people, I am actually powerless, because I dare not fight with him." ”

"Miranda is dying!" Zhou Yu said categorically: "This news is conclusive, he has recruited Thorpe, and his intention is self-evident, all the major tribes of Donghu are moving closer to Helin, and Suoke of Yulin!" He smiled: "It's long been out of Yulin." ”

"Sock wants to go back and fight for the throne?"

"Not bad!" Zhou Yu sneered: "Miranda's life is not long, this gives us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the second prince of Donghu Thorpe intends to establish a country similar to centralized power, but he doesn't know his idea, which makes most of the other Donghu people very dissatisfied, these people are more inclined to maintain the traditional eldest prince Soke, otherwise how can Soke have the confidence to sneak back to Helin quietly, we believe that at this time, Soke must be hidden in a big tent in most of Donghu, just waiting for Miranda to die, it is the time of chaos with Lin." ”

"Thorpe has the support of the king's tent, but Soke has the support of most of the Donghu people, and the strength of the two sides is almost the same, once the fire rises, both sides will inevitably lose."

"But if we fight at this time, will we let them put aside their disputes for a while and turn to fight together?" Takato asked.

"Good question!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "This is the meaning of Captain Zhou's speed, the soldiers are as anxious as fire, the faster, the more we have the upper hand, and before the battle between them is not decided, their main force will be blocked in Helin and forced to fight a decisive battle." Cavalry, hehe, once the cavalry loses the ability to maneuver and is forced to fight the infantry on a predetermined battlefield, what are their chances of victory? ”

Listening to Zhou Yu's determined statement, not only Zhang Shouyue, but also Gao Yuan was also very moved, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The two kings of Donghu competed for the throne, and Lin was bound to bleed into a river, and at this time, the Yan army invaded on a large scale, and the result was twice as effective with half the effort.

"But this information is based on Miranda's serious illness and inability to live for a long time, if there is any fraud in this matter?" Takato asked.

"General Gao Yuan, do you know Yan Lingwei?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

Gao Yuan nodded, "Naturally, I know the way." ”

"That's good, Yan Lingwei has planted a lot of nails in Donghu in the past few decades, and some of them have reached extremely critical positions."

"How is this possible?" Gao Yuan jumped up, "As far as I know, the high-level officials of Donghu are all held by their clansmen, how can my Yan people infiltrate it, and I haven't heard that there are high-ranking officials from my Central Plains in the tent of King Donghu?" ”

Zhou Yu waved his finger, "What you said is impossible, but it's not that there is no other way to think of it." General Gao, you are talented and suspicious, think about it and give you a hint, Miranda is seriously ill. ”

Gao Yuan looked at Zhou Yu in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly jumped up, "Doctor, it must be a doctor." ”

This time it was Zhou Yu's turn to be in a daze, and glanced at Gao Yuan, "It's really amazing, no wonder General Gao has today's achievements." Yes, it's the doctor. This person came to Donghu ten years ago, with superb medical skills, and has always been a guest of the Donghu nobles, saying that Miranda is a bad old man, who can survive to this day, and he really has his credit, but I am afraid that these Donghu people will never think that this miracle doctor in their eyes, the actual identity is my Dayan Yan Lingwei people, Lord Ning has never used him, until my Dayan decided to conquer Donghu, only activated this person. Therefore, even if Miranda is hard-hitting, this life-saving bodhisattva in his eyes will give him a ride. ”

Gao Yuan let out a long breath of turbidity, shocked in his heart, more than ten years ago, Ning Zecheng had already laid the groundwork, and the entry point was so unexpected, where in Donghu, there is indeed a lack of doctors with superb medical skills, and their witch doctors are okay to deceive the small people, these Donghu nobles will not believe it after they are finished.

"So, no matter which way it goes, we won't encounter too many obstacles this time, and our decisive point is Helin." Zhou Yu's fingers poked heavily at the small black dot of He Lin.

Gao Yuan lowered his head, if this is the case, then this plan is not bad, but, Donghu's side, do you really think what you think, if anything happens? (To be continued......)
