In the side hall of the Jinxiang Palace, the sunlight penetrates through the carved doors and windows, and the bamboo curtains that are shaken by the wind are bright and dark, such as halos. The civil officials and scribes who worked here retreated, and with them came the most powerful circle of people in the imperial court. Two Privy Council Ministers, four Prime Ministers, four senior generals of the Imperial Division, and three senior generals of the Guards Division.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, there are some new faces in the center; There are also a number of old faces left.

For example, Prime Minister Feng Dao, Guo Shao can't figure out which dynasty this old man started to be an official, anyway, he is called "tumbler", and he should have mixed up many dynasties...... However, Li Chuyun, Yang Biao, Luo Yanhuan, and even Gao Huaide are all relatively new faces, and they suddenly appeared on this kind of highest-level military aircraft meeting, and they looked a little dazzling.

Luo Yanhuan just sat in the position of commander of the guards and horses, not because of how many victories he had fought before, how much merit and hard work he had before, the most direct reason: during the Tokyo Mutiny, he led dozens of cavalry to open the Xihua Gate in advance, and he played bravely and strategically, which laid a very important link for Guo Shaobu's army to quickly enter the imperial city.

It's that simple. But there are more than 100,000 forbidden troops, and only Luo Yanhuan has this opportunity and seized the opportunity.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's look at the topographic map of the north bank of the Yellow River." Privy Deputy Wei Renpu spoke.

Everyone turned their heads to see a rough hand-drawn map hanging on a wooden shelf. Wei Renpu is still so temperamental, burly, and the muscles faintly visible on his neck and shoulders make him very imposing, but he is wearing a round-necked robe, with a calm tone and elegant manners.

Wei Renpu calmly stretched out his arm and pointed to the location on the map: "Zezhou (now Jincheng, southern Shanxi Province), leaning on the ridge of Taiyue, looking at Heyang and Hedong; You can even swoop down, and once you cross the Yellow River, Tokyo is in no danger to defend. Li Jixun's nest is no longer in Huaizhou, Heyang Town, but in Zezhou; He had a good eye and chose a good place...... Now Lee Ji-hoon's sword is pointing at here, Jinju.

Jinzhou (now Linfen), the throat of the east of the river to Guanzhong. If the rebels have Jinzhou, they can retreat to the Northern Han State as a way out and reinforcements, and enter the entire territory north of Guanzhong, Xijing, and the Yellow River. Establish an invincible position first, enter and wait for the opportunity to move, retreat to Taiyue, and defend the key place. It's the key to this battle!

Zhugong looks here again, Liaozhou (100 miles southeast of Taiyuan, Shanxi, but there is a mountain barrier), where Li Chongjin's department is located. In the second year of Xiande, Liaozhou was captured by Li Yun's department, and it was incorporated into the territory of our Great Zhou; In order to guard against the outpost of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, for Li Chongjin, this place is surrounded by enemies on two sides and mountains on three sides and cannot be stretched; In addition to the benefits of being able to retreat to the Northern Han Dynasty nearby, it is really a good place.

Therefore, Li Chongjin is now sacking Liaozhou Jinzuo, preparing to borrow the road from the Northern Han Kingdom to Jinzhou and attack Jinzhou with Li Jixun's army. ”

Behind the wooden frame map, there is a graceful figure behind the curtain, which is the Queen Mother Fu Marigold. Wei Renpu said that, then turned around and bowed down to the curtain.

Fu Jinzhan said in a quiet voice: "How to deal with it, the ministers say it's okay. ”

Wei Renpu walked down and entered the queue and turned his head to look at Guo Shao. Guo Shao hugged his fists and said: "Please ask Wang Yuanjun to explain the general strategy." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Wang Pu said to Guo Shaozuo, turned around and bowed to the marigold, and walked a few steps forward. There was silence in the palace, and although there were not many people, everyone was very serious and even a little nervous on such occasions.

Wang Pu coughed lightly and said, "Deputy Envoy Wei focused on three places, Ze, Jin, and Liao. Among them, Jinju is the key place in this battle, and the old man thinks so. But it is clear that Lee Jixun and Lee Chongjin are not close to each other in their alliance...... Even before that, the imperial court had avoided a more unfavorable situation, and the three Li alliances were united!

From Liaozhou to Jinzhou, the distance is 560 miles, and the road is very difficult to walk; And the post road from Zezhou to Jinju is only 450 miles, and the road is ...... wide Under such circumstances, Li Jixun's inscription had already reached Tokyo, and he had already waved his troops to the west and turned north, pointing directly at Jinju; At this time, Li Chongjin was still robbing the people in Liaozhou.

I think Li Jixun is in a hurry, and Li Chongjin is delaying. If the imperial court soldiers and horses can reinforce Jinzhou in time, Jinzhou will not be lost; One battle can determine two Li.

Block Li Jixun's troops under the city of Jinju, and the follow-up army will take Zeju; Then you can take advantage of Li Jixun's transfer to seize his geographical advantages. When Li Chongjin's troops arrived in Jinju, Jinzhou was not down, and Li Chongjin lost his foothold, had nothing to rely on, and was defeated without a fight. ”

"The king makes Jun Miaoluo!" Guo Shao praised, turned around and bowed to the curtain, "The minister is in the army, and when he hears the method of cavalry attacking the infantry camp, the best strategy is not to attack head-on, but to take advantage of the opportunity for the infantry camp to move and waver, first break through the division, and then mess up its ranks, but it can be defeated."

The strategy of the king coincides with the art of war! Li Jixun occupies Zezhou and occupies all the geographical advantages, and it will be very difficult to attack Zezhou; Now he is taking the initiative to attack Jinju, which is the mobilization of wavering fighters. When the enemy attacks, I will also attack, and Jinju is the place to decide the victory. The minister seconded the strategy of the king's envoy and the deputy envoy of Wei. ”

Wang Pu listened to Guo Shao's beautiful words, and his face was complacent, and he couldn't hide it.

Fu Jinzhan listened and said: "When will the troops be dispatched, who will be the main general, and which people will be mobilized?" ”

Guo Shao suddenly admired Fu Jinzhan very much, she had very few words in the discussion today, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was the key issue...... Fu Jinzhan does not understand war, but she clearly understands the power relations associated with war.

But no one could answer her words. Not even Guo Shao, because there are some things he can't say here.

The biggest problem in Tokyo now is that it has only been two months since the death of the first emperor, and it has finally calmed down, and the internal situation is not so stable, and many people are just waiting and watching; There are also watchers in other towns. There is also the problem left over from the past, and the area around Tokyo is flat and undefendable, and it is simply a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend...... Therefore, the imperial court must leave heavy troops in Tokyo, and some reliable people.

But it is inconvenient to say such words explicitly, even if they are a group of people at the core of power.

Guo Shao feels that some things are just skills in getting along with people, and have nothing to do with conduct; Say what you say in front of whomever you want. Some things he can say in front of the soldiers, some things can only be said in the small circle of military aircraft, some things can only be said to Fu Jinzhan, and some things he doesn't say to anyone, he only thinks about it in his heart...... If you talk nonsense, the least of the consequences will be very embarrassing. Sometimes he would meet some people on some occasions and say some very harsh things in public, which made people very uncomfortable and helpless. Of course he wouldn't do that, not everyone in the room.

Guo Shao thought for a while, and then said: "Queen Mother, the forbidden army is still being rectified, and Zhang Guanghan's department of Long Jiejun is still on the road and has not returned to Beijing, so I am afraid it is not a good time to withdraw for the time being." Only wait a few more days for the long term. ”

Wang Pu said: "Li Jixun can reach Jinju in half a month, and he left a few days ago. The forbidden army has traveled more than 800 miles from Tokyo to Jinju, and if it can't be dispatched in time, the strategy we discussed before will be useless.

However, the minister and the deputy envoy Wei also expected such a situation, in addition to the best policy, there is also a lower policy. It is to take advantage of Li Jixun's departure from Zezhou, first capture Zezhou, and then occupy the advantageous location. ”

At this time, Fan said: "Why do you have to ban the army, and can't you transfer local festivals to reinforce Jinju?" ”

"Tune whom?" Wang Pu asked unceremoniously.

Fan Zhen thought for a while and said: "Zhede Yan (Zhe Cong Ruan's son, Zhe Cong Ruan has died). ”

Wang Pu's face was annoyed, and he said bluntly: "Fan Xianggong, how did you become the prime minister!" Zhe Deran's cousin and the former secretary of the palace both commanded Li Chuyun to have a festival (his cousins Zhe Deliang and Guo Shao also had a small contradiction that was not a fundamental contradiction of interests), and you now tell him to take the army to Jinju regardless of his own territory! He can't move after being ordered? Even if it moves, the Year of the Monkey and the Moon can go to Jinju! ”

Guo Shaoxin said: There are more serious problems, the Northwest Jiedu is originally a somewhat semi-independent feudal town, and it is very laborious to use; If you give him a holy decree to control more soldiers and horses in the feudal towns, are you encouraging him to take the opportunity to take advantage of his strength?

Fu Yanqing is a good candidate, but Fu Yanqing is sixty years old and too far away from Jinju...... Guo Shao had to think of Fu Yanqing's last battle in Xinzhou, Northern Han Dynasty, Fu Yanqing commanded and fought poorly, it was indeed the age to retire, and it was a bit difficult for him to lead the troops to fight a bad battle.

At this moment, Fan Zhen also got angry and said: "I don't have talent to be the prime minister, good, good!" I resign now. Queen Mother ......"

"Duke Fan doesn't have to be rash, you are a civil minister, and it is common for you to not be able to talk to Wang Zhijun in military affairs." Fu Jinzhan said angrily.

At this moment, Guo Shao turned around and said, "What if Xiang Gong (who changed his name when he was last in the book and avoided it) held Jinju?" ”

Wang Pu was stunned: "Only Li Jixun attacked, of course he should defend." But if the time drags on too long, and Li Chongjin's troops reach Jinju, the total strength of the rebel army may reach 60,000. Xiang Gong is a little person, and not long after he arrived in Jinju, his subordinates and the locals have different accents and customs, so it is difficult to say whether they can be of one heart and one mind...... If Xiang Gong was attacked by Li Jixun and Li Chongjin and lost Jinju, it would be understandable. ”

Wang Pu said again: "General Guo's method of attacking Shouzhou, Zhao Kuangyin also knows. In the past, Zhao Kuangyin was a confidant of the first emperor, and no one expected him to rebel. ”

Guo Shao muttered: "The left wing of the Long Jie Army, Zhang Guanghan's department, should be in Tokyo soon, but it is also very troublesome to reorganize the guard division, and it is almost necessary to redeploy the rest of the Long Jie Army and the Iron Cavalry Army; Not only does it have to re-register and reorganize the system, but it also takes time to get acquainted with each other. However, the Tiger Ben Army has been preparing for a long time, and now it has basically completed the rectification, and it can be used within half a month. ”

Wang Pudao: "There are more than 30,000 people in the Tiger Army, and now they are the most elite men and horses in the forbidden army, but General Guo wants to take them all out?" ”

"I'll only take one compartment!" Guo Shao said, "At the critical moment, I can't let Xiang Gong down and let him stand by while he is besieged. ”

Wang Pu was stunned and said: "What does General Guo mean right now, he wants to use 16,000 people to fight Li Jixun and Li Chongjin 60,000? ”

Guo Shao said: "The Crane Control Army and Zhu Banzhi can also transfer some soldiers and horses...... And I didn't deal with Er Li together, Li Jixun went to Jinju first; And then deal with Li Chongjin. Each break. ”
