Chapter 258 Three Kingdoms Expedition Zhou

"The minister has this intention, thank you Your Majesty for making it happen."

Liu Bowen happily accepted the order and prepared to go down to Jiangnan again, this time his target was Zhao Kuangyin.

"Okay, Liu Aiqing, you are still the governor of Jiangnan, I still give you the sword of Shang Fang, you have the right to cut first and then play, and the right to be arbitrary, the main purpose of your trip to Jiangnan is to deal with Zhao Kuangyin, as for Meng Chang of Xishu and Qian Yuanqian of Wu Yue, they are just clowns, and my border guards in Dazhou are not vegetarians, enough to deal with them."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in this battle, the three families might as well fight together, and the battle will be decided."

Liu Bowen's words made Guo Zongxun's eyes shine, compared to Liu Bowen, who dared to make a surprise plan to break the army, he was still a little conservative.

"Oh? Liu Aiqing, let's talk about it, does my Da Zhou now have the strength of the three to fight together? ”

"Your Majesty, now in the north of my Great Zhou, Yanyun has Cao Bin in charge of the Khitan, even if they are not honest, Cao Bin's department is enough to suppress it; In the western part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Hongzhang was negotiating with the Yundan Department in Lhasa, and Zhi Yuxun had already surrounded the Chide Department near Qinghai Lake, just waiting for the ice and snow to melt in the spring, and it was not difficult to take the Chide Ministry. ”

"The northwest of the Great Zhou, now Linzhou and Fuzhou are all in my hands, which can not only deter the Khitan and Mongolian tribes, but also overlook the west of the river.

"When Zhao Kuangyin was still the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he commanded the troops to fight in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty gave him the will to fight Wu Yue together, but what about him, after Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, fled to Nanchang, he was passive and slacked off the war, delaying the military aircraft, and the minister guessed that Zhao Kuangyin was already colluding with Wu Yue's Qian Yuanqian at this time."

"When Zhao Pu was defeated, Zhao Kuangyin accelerated the pace of attacking Li Jing in Nanchang, but he turned a blind eye to Wu Yue on the east side and was unguarded, at this time, it was already clear that Zhao Kuangyin must have reached some kind of agreement with Qian Yuanjun."

"Your Majesty is wise, even if you have already reached these changes, on the one hand, you will order Yang Ye to strengthen the precautions against the Wu-Yue border, and on the other hand, you will order Qian Mao to strengthen the precautions against the Xishu border, so this time Xishu and Wu Yue suddenly attacked, and our surrounding defense forces have actually been prepared for battle for a long time, and have already given Wu Yue and Xishu a head-on blow."

"Zhao Kuangyin thinks that he has united Xishu and Wu Yue, with these two families marching to the Great Zhou from the southwest and southeast, he can win the battle in the middle of Nanchang, but Zhao Kuangyin is not a reliable ally in the end, his purpose is actually to let Xishu and Wu Yue fight with my Great Zhou, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"As everyone knows, Wu Yue and Xishu are not very reliable allies, although they have gathered heavy troops, five times the strength of our border guards, they are still easily repelled by my Great Zhou Xiong, it can be seen that these three people have retained their strength."

"If the three of them work together and go all out, this game of chess must be according to what His Majesty said, resist Xishu and Wu Yue, and attack Zhao Kuangyin of the Song State with all their might."

"However, Zhao Kuangyin has now sent recruits from the south to the front line, but the original Great Zhou Forbidden Army has been sent to continue the southern expedition and stay in Nanchang, perhaps he is worried that these soldiers will defect before the battle, in short, his move is not wise, but it is also a helpless move."

"Marshal Yue and Han Zhao led nearly 400,000 Tuntian to rest for a year, but they never stopped training, plus the 100,000 Great Zhou forbidden army led by Yang Ye, who guarded Jinling, and the 100,000 Great Zhou forbidden army led by Qian Mao, who guarded Chang'an, a total of 600,000 troops."

"And the enemy's troops, Zhao Kuangyin's Song State has 150,000 recruits, plus 300,000 former Great Zhou forbidden troops, a total of 450,000, and the real face of us, at present, there are only 150,000 recruits."

"On the Xishu and Wu Yue sides, each claimed to have an army of 200,000, let's count them as a total of 400,000 troops, and the three of them combined...... It's really close to a million troops. ”

"Chang'an's Qian Mao and Jinling's Yang Ye are both good at stability, but it doesn't mean that they are not good at taking the initiative, Your Majesty can still remember that when the Liao army attacked Yijin Pass, Taizu's horse Zhang Yongde was seriously injured, that is, the deputy general Qian Mao was ordered to defend Yijin Pass, and waited until Yue Fei's army came to help, Qian Mao looked at the fighter plane, the whole army went out of the customs, and a galloping war was turned into a war of annihilation.

"Let's talk about Yang Ye, the minister got along with him in Jinling for a while, this person is loyal and strong, does things straightforwardly, and seems to be inflexible, but according to the minister's observation, this is just Yang Ye's article on the surface, he more or less wants to emulate the famous Tang Dynasty general Cheng Biting Jin, to be reckless but loyal to protect himself, but not like learning, in fact, Yang Ye's heart, is not a person who is willing to stick to it at all, give him a chance, he will definitely go crazy, if Yang Ye goes crazy, the minister concludes, it is difficult to be a ghost."

Guo Zongxun listened to Liu Bowen's eloquent talk, nodding his head from time to time, Liu Bowen's analysis was meticulous and clear, and he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us very clearly.

"Your Majesty, the only variable now is Li Chongjin in Huainan, at this time, although Li Chongjin is far away at the mouth of the Yangtze River and is going all out to build Shanghai, but once the Great Zhou and the Song, Shu, and Wu families start a war at the same time, if there is an abnormal movement in Huainan, which is not far from Kaifeng, the soldiers will refer to Kaifeng, at that time, the strength of Kaifeng City is insufficient, and Yue Fei, Qian Mao and Yang Ye are beyond the reach of the whip......"

Liu Bowen said this, don't talk about it, the pros and cons have been clearly explained to Guo Zongxun, how to decide, it depends on Guo Zongxun's thoughts.

Guo Zongxun was silent, Liu Bowen was right, the only variable was Li Chongjin in Huainan.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, Dugusheng came to report that when Li Chongjin inspected the construction site of Greater Shanghai, he accidentally stumbled and fell and was seriously injured, but I am afraid that he will not survive for a few months."

Guo Zongxun stood up all of a sudden, and said angrily:

"I didn't say that I wanted to attack Li Chongjin, but you Jinyiwei made your own opinions, so daring."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, justifying:

"Your Majesty, you are wronged, the slave and the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, even if they ate the heart of a bear and swallowed the gall of a leopard, they didn't dare to take matters into their own hands against the important ministers of the court."

Liu Bowen hurriedly persuaded on the side:

"Your Majesty is angry, this matter still needs to be asked clearly before making a decision."

Guo Zongxun's breath calmed down a little and said:

"It's me who is impulsive, Wei Banban, you get up and tell me in detail what the hell is going on."

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to get up, let alone wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, he still knelt on the ground and said:

"Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, Dugu Sheng also heard about it, and did not see it with his own eyes, he felt that the matter was very important, and he did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, he sent a flying pigeon to Kaifeng, on the other hand, he is now rushing to Li Chongjin to recuperate from his injuries, and after the verification is clear, there will be detailed news."

Guo Zongxun and Liu Bowen glanced at each other, and there was a little dark flickering in their eyes.

Is it such a coincidence, I was worried about whether Li Chongjin would make any changes, and he fell and injured himself?
