In March of the second year of Xiande, Guo Shaobu of the Hujie Army and the Xiang Training Department of the Zhen'an Army arrived in Fengxiang one after another. Perhaps because of the participation of the forbidden army enough to balance Wang Jing, the Xiang Training Department only had 2,000 troops and cavalry, and the army that reached Guanzhong was about 8,000 people; Wang Jing mobilized the fifteenth command of Fengxiang Town's troops. The total number of troops mobilized for this attack on Shu was 16,000; In addition, 30,000 people are being levied from near Zuozhou County.

This attack on Shu was undeclared, so Wang Jing did not claim to be 100,200,000 to intimidate Shu.

The four of them met first in Fengxiang Mansion, the main general Wang Jing, two deputy generals, and the provincial envoy of Jiake. Guo Shao and Xiang Xun have long had a good relationship, and they are also familiar with the envoys of the guest province on the march, and they met Wang Jing twice in Guanzhong last year, and he knows everyone. However, Wang Jing and Xiang Xun were not very familiar with the civil officials of the guest province; This civilian officer is in charge of diplomacy, but he must participate in every military aircraft consultation related to combat preparation.

Guo Shao didn't have time to see Luo Yanhuan, who was left behind by Chen Cang, so he first discussed military affairs with the generals in Fengxiang.

Wang Jing sat on the top seat, he was a sixty-six-year-old man, which made Guo Shao think of Huang Zhong. However, I heard that Wang Jing had been a bandit before, and he joined the army in the Liang Dynasty, and it can be said that he witnessed the alternation of the entire five dynasties.

Such an old man is the main general, he must be very experienced and well-informed, but Guo Shao inevitably thinks of Fu Yanqing during the Battle of Jinyang, and hopes that the old general Wang is not old and confused, so don't blindly command.

Wang Jing didn't have much to say, and said with a smile: "Shu already knows that our dynasty is going to use force, and at the beginning of the year, it sent Prime Minister Wang Zhaoyuan to Qin and Feng to deploy troops...... Our reinforcements from Tokyo and Zhen'an are coming fast and early, but the people and military rations who deliver food are not enough, and I am afraid that we will have to wait a while before we can start. How to attack? What do you think, let's hear it. ”

Xiang Xun turned his head to look at Guo Shao with interest. Guo Shao hurriedly said: "General Xiang has been in battle for a long time, and he must have experience. ”

Xiang Xun said: "I heard that Guo Duzhi came to Guozhong last year to visit the prince, and inspected various places, and presented pictures on the table, why don't I listen to Guo Du's views first?" ”

Wang nodded and said: "What Xiang Jie Shuai said is very true. ”

Everyone ignored the guest envoy, they were not familiar with it, and they were civil officials...... Hit a small report. However, Guo Shao still politely greeted the envoy of the guest province, and then said: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, so I will put forward some ideas for the prince's reference." ”

Since Xiang Xundu mentioned the drawing, Guo Shao didn't hide it, just put it on the table and unfolded it, and said: "Let's fight Qin and Fengzhou, but Qinzhou is too far away, I think as long as Fengzhou is defeated, the problem can be solved, and Qinzhou only needs to send a partial division to feint and contain it...... As long as Fengzhou in the south is controlled, the road for the Shu army to reinforce Qinzhou can be blocked, so that Qinzhou is in an isolated and helpless situation, and sooner or later it will surrender. ”

Guo Shao paused, and seeing that everyone did not object, he continued: "To attack Fengzhou, it is most appropriate to march along the Chencang Road, and the emphasis is on a quick battle and a quick victory, all the way south. If it is blocked and delayed, the road is inconvenient and the place is small, and it is extremely inconvenient to garrison the army and transport grain. ”

Wang nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want." (Later)** to attack Shu Wang Yan, but also from Chencang Road directly south, we only need to follow the ** road...... However, Wang Yan was mediocre and unprepared; Although today's Shu State has not known soldiers for decades, it has long been prepared and continues to increase troops to Erzhou, and the old man predicts that we will not be smooth that time. ”

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "The prince is prepared for a rainy day, so that the last general and others will be impressed...... The last general still has some considerations, I don't know whether to talk about it or not? ”

Wang Jingdao: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Guo Shao knew that although he was the general of the forbidden army, he was the youngest and the least experienced here, so he consciously maintained a humble attitude between his words, but at the same time, he also wanted to make a difference and make the war go smoothly, so he immediately took out a few pieces of paper and presented them with both hands: "This is the battle plan that the last general has been pondering recently, please take a look at it." ”

Wang Jing took it and frowned slightly, because although the characters were written in neat italics, they were written in ugly letters, and there were many sentence breaks, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to read and break sentences.

Guo Shao continued: "The first layer of the Shu army's defense hub is in Weiwu City, and there are eight military villages in front of it. Eight military villages were blocked on the Shu Road, and there was no way left and right, so they could only end them one by one, and then the troops pointed directly at the mighty city...... The last general thought that the more he waited, the more prepared the Shu army would be; Now we are not well prepared, and the Shu army is also in a hurry. It's better to fight quickly, first push off the military fortress in front of you, and try the mighty city; If the mighty city can be captured as soon as possible, it is likely to seize the grain and grass hoarded by the enemy in the early stage, and it is more cost-effective to feed the war than to transport grain from the Shu Road. ”

Wang Jing glanced at Xiang Xun and said: "Guo Du's method is a bit urgent, and it is very risky, and it is taboo to be in a hurry to achieve success and benefit the soldiers. ”

Guo Shao was a little carried away for a while, and immediately replied: "There are eight military villages in front of Weiwu City, and the supply must rely on the nearby Weiwu City, and there must be surplus food in the city." As long as we take away their grain and grass in one go, the grain can sustain our army's continued advance. ”

Seeing that Wang Jing was silent, Guo Shao was young and vigorous after all, so he left his previous humility behind him without paying attention, and gradually revealed his edge, and said hurriedly: "The prince only needs to supply my department with food for ten days, plus three days of supplies with the army, I will take Weiwu City and other places within half a month, and enter Fengzhou without consuming food in the rear." ”

Wang Jing immediately opened his squinted old eyes: "There is no joke in the army!" ”

Guo Shao straightened his waist and said: "If you can't achieve the goal for half a month, the main force of our department will immediately withdraw and ask the court for guilt!" ”

At this moment, Xiang Xun hurriedly said: "Wait, I ask the prince for help, and my department is also out of the pass, making a feint in the direction of Qinzhou to monitor the movement in the west." ”

Guo Shao was moved for a while when he heard this, Xiang Xun and himself are the same way, you have to remember that there is a favor here!

Wang Jingdao: "It's so good, so I will take Guo Du's envoy as the striker and go out of the pass first." Guo Duling remembered that Feng Xiang could only supply grain and grass for ten days; If the Hujie army is trapped in the Qinling Mountains, the cost of more than 6,000 people will depend on the transportation of Shu Road, and the current situation of Fengxiang Town cannot afford it. ”

Guo Shao got up and clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general has an order!" Our department rested for two days, first stationed in Chencang, and after a few days, prepared military supplies, and then went out of the customs. ”

Wang Jingdao: "Very good. The old man will send scouts to pay attention to the movements in Qinzhou and other places, and send people to contact Guo Du's envoy at any time. ”

Guo Shao's battle plan, Wang Jing didn't even look at it, everyone got together and said that it was decided on the spot, but he was also happy.

At this time, Guo Shao was full of confidence, he was very familiar with the army of the Hujie Army, all of which were well-trained battlefield soldiers...... And the Shu army has not fought for twenty or thirty years, and the previous group of people may have died of old age. Guo Shao still doesn't believe in evil in his heart, such a Shu army can block the elite of the Zhou army.

He has seen those generals who have led soldiers to fight, and that's it...... Many things depend on the generals, and the main generals only need to make decisions. I just feel that even if I command the battle for the first time, I shouldn't be far behind.
