Zhen Lingdan glanced at the commander under the seat and continued: "The army is divided into two routes, go north to take Jingzhou and Xiangyang, and go south to take Yueyang and Loudi, so that the governors of both sides are busy preparing for war, and they are unable to form a large force to jointly attack us, because the division line of the imperial court's political power is our natural barrier, and at the same time, not only the north and the south are divided because of the different commanders, but our garrison division has also formed a long line in Hunan and Hubei, separating the east and west. It is conducive to our next battle plan, we can first devour the west and then the east, and slowly eat the fat of the two lakes. ”

Zhen Lingdan groaned slightly, walked to the battle map, pointed to the big map and said: "We should analyze the opponent's strength, first of all, we will encounter the officers and soldiers of the two lakes, and the fact that we can fight them and retreat means that they are not worried, but once they have someone commanded properly, they are still very threatening, after all, they are very numerous, and they may even be better than us, so we must try to balance this lack of strength before Zhu Jianwen's Qinwang soldiers arrive, and secondly, we will meet Zhu Jianwen just said, This person is a politician who is not to be afraid, and now he has been demoted to the idle king, but don't underestimate him, he is a person who really leads the troops to fight a tough battle, I think that when I first commanded the army, I fought to the death in Jinan Mansion, and there are about 90,000 officers and soldiers in the two lakes, I think this will not be an empty salary, after all, the court is coming, no one has the courage to report empty salary, not to mention the previous consecutive defeats, and the war situation is currently unfavorable to them. ”

"The troops we recruited are the main force, these soldiers lack training, and then the soldiers we captured are also unstable, relying on the leaders to stabilize their positions, and now the combat effectiveness has also improved a lot, but as I said just now, Zhu Jianwen is not an ordinary prince politician, although he is not a famous general, but he is not like the generals of the two lakes who are unlearned, and he is very close to us in Jiangxi, and there are many protégés in the old department, and it is not a problem to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses within a few days, and it will change the situation a lot when they arriveOn the other hand, the first part of the reinforcements in the capital will not come too much, after all, the road is far away, and the guards of the Beijing division have certain specifications, and too many soldiers and horses are not allowed to be mobilized, the most important thing is that Lu Yunzhi will never transfer all the troops and give up military control of the capital, we only need to worry about Lu Yunzhi's personal strength, and the elite soldiers under him are already under him, so we don't have to mind too much about the troops. Zhen Lingdan said,

A veteran who followed Zhen Lingdan to Lianghu and escaped the catastrophe of the capital said: "Having said that, but the group of elite soldiers under Lu Yunzhi is really difficult to deal with with one enemy and one hundred, I think it should be done to attack Zhu Jianwen with all his strength first, and after Lu Yunzhi comes, the soldiers and horses in Zhu Jianwen's hands will be almost wiped out, and even if his elite soldiers are strong, they will not pose much threat to us, and if they encounter that group of strong soldiers, we can dodge more." ”

The young generals in the tent didn't know that there was once a strong elite army composed of those air control masters and specially trained warriors, so they scoffed at the words of the veteran, and some people shouted that this was to increase the enemy's morale and destroy their own prestige.

Zhen Lingdan nodded and said: "Calm down, he is right, the elite soldiers led by Lu Yunzhi are indeed strong, but as far as I know, this group of soldiers and horses has been disbanded, although the reason is unknown, but it will definitely not appear on this battlefield, of course, he also has an army called the Township Regiment in his hand, this army is well-equipped and well-trained, and the number is as high as tens of thousands, but it is far from being such an inhuman team back then, it is just stronger than ordinary troops, so you don't have to worry, old general, what you said is very good, we are going to destroy Zhu Jianwen first, Of course, before this, it is also very important to weaken the garrison of the two lakes, but the battle with Zhu Jianwen cannot be hard-hitting, otherwise it will be equivalent to winning Lu Yunzhi's plan, Lu Yunzhi and Zhu Jianwen have a gap, this time Zhu Jianwen must have fought to the death, and won Lu Yunzhi's trust again, but Lu Yunyi must not think so, he wants to take this opportunity to completely defeat Zhu Jianwen's power, let him be a veritable idle king, we fight hard with Zhu Jianwen, Lu Yunzhi is equivalent to taking advantage of the fisherman, so Zhu Jianwen can only outwit and not attack. ”

The generals asked Zhen Lingdan to explain how to outwit, although there were many generals in the account, they were all promoted by Zhen Lingdan himself, and he was not worried about Lu Yunzhi's spies, so he no longer concealed his mouth and told the overall strategic plan.

"First of all, we have just said the plan to go north and south, saying that the soldiers are divided into two routes, in fact, the focus is on the south road, after laying Loudi, we will march westward, and we want to confuse the enemy, claiming that the army on this road consists of 150,000 people, but remember that the heavy troops should be gathered in Yueyang, I have a lot of use, this will be said later, the North Route Army will occupy some small town passes in addition to Xiangyang and Jingzhou, the first is to create some obstacles for the reinforcements from the capital, and the second is to expand the territory and recruit more troops, Hunan and Hubei soldiers and horses I am still inclined to Hubei soldiers, As the saying goes, there are nine birds in the sky, Hubei people on the ground, Hubei people are hard, smart, and they can train a strong army in a short period of time. Zhen Lingdan pointed to the map and explained to everyone, and kept drawing when he said about the pass and the fortress town.

Zhen Lingdan made the final deployment of the southern front: "The key southern line is to mess up and completely let Hunan fall, except for Yueyang, but you can't send heavy troops to garrison, now the soldiers and horses in the two lakes have food, what is missing, the commander, and Lu Yunzhi asked Zhu Jianwen to act first, one is to let him lead the troops to support the imperial court, and the other is to find a commander with a stable temperament for this scattered army to keep most of the combat effectiveness, don't wait for Lu Yunzhi and others to dare to come and waste the soldiers and horses of the two lakes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, There is no soldier, even Lu Yunzhi can't fight. ”

"The snake hits seven inches, the key is to defeat Zhu Jianwen, before I said that it is not possible to hit hard, then we will encircle Wei to save Zhao to fight, Zhu Jianwen of Jiangxi will definitely raise troops in his father's fiefdom Jiujiang, attack Xianning, stationed in Hankou, Hanyang, Hanjin, these places now belong to neither us nor the imperial court, in short, everyone took it, fortunately it was given to Zhu Jianwen, of course, a little resistance is also necessary, the play must be done, he will feel the first battle victory, ecstatic will inevitably form an arrogant soldier, Think we're vulnerable. Zhen Lingdan said,

Zhen Lingdan punched and said proudly: "We have gathered heavy troops in Yueyang, they will suffer a big loss if they come to attack blatantly, of course, this is a tough battle and bloodshed, but this can also induce Zhu Jianwen's actions later, and the city we captured before in the west played a role at this time." ”
