Chapter 1780: Cutting Wu? Attack Qin?

After Liu Xiu occupied Jiangxia, the Chu army also began to discuss the next strategic direction, after all, the 100,000 army could not be defended.

Now that the state of Chu has occupied Jiangxia, it can send troops together from the three parties in the future, and the strategy against Wu is already invincible, so many high-level Chu military leaders have proposed to continue to attack Eastern Wu.

"My lord, I oppose attacking Soochow at this time."

Li Mi stood up and said that he was also a rare oppositionist.

After Li Mi took refuge with Liu Xiu, he and Liu Xiu's sons took refuge with Liu Xiu, and then became one of Liu Xiu's staff.

Since joining Liu Xiu's command, Li Mi has always been very used by Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu also saw that Li Mi was still ambitious, so he also guarded against him, and only used him as a strategist and did not give him real power.

After hearing Li Mi's words, Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

"The reason why the generals advocated attacking Wu was nothing more than that there was a civil strife in Wu.

But you must know that with the withdrawal of the main force of Eastern Wu from Jiangxia, the Japanese along the coast have fled in time, and Zulang, the largest Shanyue rebel, has also been subdued by Sun Jian.

At this time, the Shanyue rebels in Wu said that they were rebels, but they were just some mobs, and they were not even fully equipped with weapons and equipment. ”

As he spoke, Li Mi bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "The main force of Eastern Wu has not suffered much damage, with the current strength of our army, if we forcibly attack Wu, it will definitely develop into a tug-of-war in the end, which will consume money and food but it will be difficult to occupy an inch of land." ”

As soon as Li Mi's voice fell, Yang Xiuqing also stood up and said: "My lord, the last general is also against Wu. ”

This time, in order to deal with the Sun-Huang coalition army, Liu Xiu mobilized 30,000 Taiping troops from Jiaozhou, and Yang Xiuqing was the commander of such an army.

After Hong Xiuquan surrendered to Liu Xiu, although some of the Taiping generals were restless, Yang Xiuqing was one of the generals who sincerely took refuge, so Liu Xiu dared to let him lead the army.

"My lord, our army has formed a strategic advantage over the state of Wu, so if we do not destroy Wu, we must destroy it.

The Sun family is deeply rooted in Jiangdong, and although our army now has 100,000 troops, but with only these 100,000 troops, if you want to destroy Wu, I am afraid that it is still a little weak, so this is not the best opportunity to destroy Wu. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiu also nodded secretly in his heart, and then asked, "When will you destroy Wu Liangji?" ”

Yang Xiuqing didn't think about it, and said decisively: "After our army has thoroughly digested Jiaozhou and Jiangxia, the newly acquired land, the national strength will definitely increase significantly, and then it will be the best time to destroy the Wu State in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, at that time, with the national strength of my Chu State, the Lord can raise an army of 200,000 troops, and the troops will attack the Wu State in three ways.

At that time, even if Sun Jian has a famous general like Sun Wu, he will also take the initiative to resist the front of our army, and he will be able to destroy the henchman of Eastern Wu in one battle. Li Mi then said.

Yang Xiuqing and Li Mi, you say a word to me, and analyze the disadvantages of Wu at this time to the fullest.

Originally, most people supported the invasion of Wu because they thought that the invasion of Wu would win at this time, but after hearing the words of Li Mi and Yang Xiuqing, they found that the strength of Eastern Wu was not greatly damaged, and sending troops to attack Wu at this time did not necessarily win.

After Deng Yu saw this scene, he stood up and said: "Lord, this is indeed not a good opportunity to cut down Wu, it is the top priority to cut down Qin." ”

"Var Qin?"

Most of the generals present were shocked in their hearts, this was a question they all avoided, after all, because when facing the Qin army, they had too many painful memories, and now they had to face it.

"Why Fa Qin?"

Liu Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Didn't you say before sending troops that you want Liu Ji to be in front and consume the strength of the Qin army in Jingzhou?" ”

Liu Xiu actually didn't want to kill Qin, after all, he was sent to Jingnan by Yue Fei at the beginning, so no one knew the power of the Qin army better, not to mention that now Qin Hao had reactivated Yue Fei, the killing god.

Therefore, if there is no perfect strategy, Liu Xiu does not want to go head-to-head with Qin Jun.

"My lord, this time is different.

Because of Nanban and Liu Yu, Shu Han was unable to use all his strength to deal with the Qin army, but for now, Shu Han had tried his best, but he still couldn't shake the Qin army in Jingbei. ”

Deng Yu's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "If the lord doesn't contribute again, this time the Qin alliance will probably exist in name only, and only the Qin army will profit in the end." ”

"This ......"

Liu Xiu was not a stupid person, and soon realized the key to it, Deng Yu saw this and said: "In fact, for our army, the benefits of attacking the Qin army are greater.

At this time, most of the Qin army in Jingbei was fighting against the Shu army on the front line of Yiling, and the defense of Nanjun was relatively empty, and if our army sent troops from Jiangxia to attack Nanjun, it would definitely be easy to recapture Nanjun. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, Nanjun was a thorn in his heart, he dreamed of recapturing Nanjun to wash away the shame of being driven to Jingnan by Yue Fei.

"Okay, let's send troops to attack Qin."

As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and he sneered: "However, our army is full of 100,000 troops, and if we only attack one Nanjun, our troops will inevitably be a little unusable." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xiu ordered: "In this way, this prince will lead an army of 50,000 to attack Nanjun."

Deng Yu, you lead an army of 30,000 to attack Zhangling County, and go and bring back the heads of the Huang Xie brothers to this king. ”

"No." Deng Yu replied in a deep voice.

Liu Xiu nodded, then looked at Yang Xiuqing, and said, "Yang Xiuqing, this king appointed you as the Taishou of Jiangxia, and led an army of 20,000 to be responsible for guarding Jiangxia County. ”

Yang Xiuqing saw that Liu Xiu actually handed over the responsibility of guarding Jiangxia to himself as a general who had just taken refuge, and his heart was both happy and moved, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart to never live up to Liu Xiu's expectations.

"No." Yang Xiuqing yelled.

Seeing that Liu Xiu chose to let Yang Xiuqing guard Jiangxia, Li Mi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, he actually wanted to be the Jiangxia Taishou, but unfortunately there was no chance to lead the performance.

In this way, Jiangxia's 100,000 Chu army was divided into three, one with Liu Xiu to attack Nanjun, one with Deng Yu to attack Zhangling County, and one with Yang Xiuqing to defend Jiangxia County.

Sun Jian, who had already arranged defenses in Lujiang, saw that Liu Xiu did not come to attack him, but ran to attack Qin, and at the same time, he was secretly relieved in his heart, and at the same time, he began to suppress the Shanyue rebellion even harder.

However, even if Wu quickly suppressed the Shanyue rebellion, he would not be able to compete with Liu Xiu for Jiangxia in a short period of time.

This time only the rebellion of the Japanese invaders caused the loss of nearly 100,000 people to the state of Wu, and another 30 people became exiles.

And the Shanyue Rebellion was even more traumatic to the state of Wu.

Therefore, even if the Shanyue rebellion was suppressed, Wu would have to recuperate for a long time and sort out internal affairs before it could return to the pre-war level.
