There was a buzz of quiet discussion in the room.

Feng Sanhu's concerns can be understood by everyone, but this matter really doesn't seem to be easy to solve.

Because the cavalry of the Qi army is not strong, it is impossible to launch a credible reconnaissance curtain on Fuzhou, and all the information on Fuzhou comes from local defectors.

This information can only tell everyone that the main force of the Tartars is indeed going to fight the Mughuls, but whether it is all the main forces is a question that no one dares to confirm.

Even Zhang Mingyi, who was most eager for meritorious service and wanted to fight the most, was a little hesitant.

Yes, he likes to fight, but that doesn't mean he likes to lose. In his eyes, the Qi army is the capital for him to establish meritorious deeds and become famous.

But if he is defeated, it will also drag down his reputation.

Of course, everyone thinks that this is indeed a good opportunity, and it is a pity not to fight.

It's just that the risks are not small.

Xu Shiyang's staff has not yet grown into an organization that can independently make decisions on major battles, and the generals just make the main risks of this operation as bright as possible, and finally decide whether to fight or not, and how to fight if they want to fight, Xu Shiyang has to decide with one word.

Xu Shiyang looked at Li Jinghuai and Feng Sanhu, and turned his head to look at Xie Zhen and Luan Tingyu.

He felt that these young people had to be given more opportunities to grow.

"Let's sum it up."

徐世杨 says:

"At present, it can be confirmed that except for a few non-clan Bo Ji Lie's whereabouts are unknown, all the Tartar clan Bo Ji Lie have already gone to the grassland to attack the Mugul, that is to say, at least for 4 months, the Tatars will not come back to hinder our offensive."

"According to the information we have obtained so far, there are troops stationed in Fuzhou, with a total of 5 Jurchens and Jurchen Meng'an, and it is estimated that there are 4,000 Jurchens, Jurchen armor soldiers and almost the same number of Ahha. In addition, he also has a Xi person, a Khitan person, a Bohai person and a mixed Han and Goryeo Meng'an, about 6,000 strong men, that is to say, the upper limit of Fuzhou's mobilization capacity is 14,000 people. ”

"We don't know how many people the Tartars went to the steppe to take with them, but their nest can't be left unguarded."

"I personally estimate that in the case of the threat of the Goryeo and the Jurchens, it is the minimum for them to leave 3,000 Jurchen soldiers in the east and north, and then leave some more men and horses in the Liaozhong Plain - count 4,000, these places are estimated to be 10,000 people."

The Liaozhong Plain is the ruling core of the Jin State, and the 10,000 people left behind have been calculated as a minimum.

After so many years of continuous wars, internal purges, and flights, it is estimated that there are still about 50,000 male soldiers among the Jurchens and Jurchens to whom the Jin State belongs, and with the Wanyan Yinshu Ke in southern Liaoning, there are more than 18,000 troops left behind in various places.

The Jurchen Tartars were going to fight the Mughuls, and the three clans were all dispatched, with at least 20,000 soldiers.

In this way, not counting the foreign soldiers and Aha slaves, there are about 10,000 to 12,000 mobile troops whose whereabouts of the Jurchens are unknown.

"What the commander means is that even if these 12,000 Tartars are all in southern Liaoning, as long as our whole army is dispatched, we don't have to be afraid of him?" Li Jinghuai asked.

With the addition of Wanyan Yinshu, the Tatars can be used in a total of 16,000 Jurchens in southern Liaoning.

Now the ten brigades of the New Army, plus Xu Shiyang's Guards Troops, the Blue Army Camp and the Trap Camp, are indeed not inferior to the forces that the Tartars may use in terms of troops.

However, when Xu Shiyang heard this, he just shook his head.

Xu Shiyang has a population of millions and more than 16,000 gradually modernized troops, and as time goes by, his strength will only grow steadily, so why do you have to take the risk of fighting the enemy again and again in an immature situation?

"This battle has to be fought, otherwise I'm sorry for such a good opportunity."

徐世杨 says:

"Only by beating can we make the Tartars understand that they do not ignore us and have the right to go out to rob the whole division."

This kind of strategic advantage position that makes the Jurchens unable to care about each other is something that Xu Shiyang will never give up lightly.

"But how to fight in our best interests, have you thought about it?"

Xu Shiyang asked:

"Expect the enemy to be lenient, on the premise that there are 16,000 true Jurchens and 30,000 foreign soldiers and Aha soldiers near Fuzhou in southern Liaoning, how can we fight to achieve the greatest results while bearing the minimum danger and cost?"

All the participants, including Zhang Mingyi, began to whisper again.

Xu Shiyang sat on a chair and waited for the results of their discussion.

After a long time, Feng Sanhu hesitated to speak: "The Tartars can only ambush us in Fuzhou...... maybe, we should bypass Fuzhou?" ”

Xu Shiyang's eyes lit up, this is a good idea.

He encouraged: "Good ideas, let's talk about it specifically." ”

"I haven't figured out the specifics yet." Feng Sanhu said: "However, when I was discussing with Brother Li (Li Jinghuai) just now, I suddenly remembered that Commander, you were directly attacking southern Liaoning by sea, avoiding the trouble of too long supply lines, and directly hitting the soft underbelly of the Tartars. ”

"I thought, since the Tartars can only wait for us to attack Fuzhou, can we do it again? Bypass Fuzhou directly and go somewhere else? ”

Bang bang bang.

Xu Shiyang couldn't help but applaud.

"Well said!"

Xu Shiyang smiled:

"We don't have to follow the Tartars! Regardless of whether there is an ambush in Fuzhou or not, we control the sea power, in fact, we occupy a strategic mobile advantage, and all the places in southern Liaoning that can be landed are undefended for us, so why go to Fuzhou to take risks? ”

After speaking, Xu Shiyang turned around and pointed to the large map of southern Liaoning behind him with a thin bamboo stick.

"Here!"

The bamboo stick points to the root on the west side of the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Gaizhou! Another salt-producing lands in Tartars! Behind it is the Liaozhong Plain, the hinterland of the Tatars, the main grain producing area! Hitting here is equivalent to a direct stab in the abdomen of the tartar! ”

"Topographically speaking, there are many plains around, which is not conducive to our battle without cavalry, but the main force of the Tartars is not there, and the defenders around here are at most two thousand, and at most one-third are Jurchen armor!"

"Another benefit, there is an island with a good area on the sea near Gaizhou, called Lianyun Island, we set off by the sailor to occupy this island first, if the war is unfavorable, you can also directly transfer to this island, the Tartars have no sailors, there is no way to pursue at all, we will be invincible!"

This is Xu Shiyang's strategic response to Tartar.

Completely ignoring whether the Tartars really had a conspiracy, as long as he confirmed that the main force of the Tartars did go to the grassland, he bypassed Fuzhou, which was heavily defended.

After all, to the north of Fuzhou, the nearest big city in Tartar is Gaizhou, and there are hundreds of miles in a straight line between Fuzhou, even if there is an ambush in Fuzhou, when they learn that there is a fire in the backyard, they immediately go north to rescue, and Xu Shiyang also has the right to choose whether to fight.

It would be foolish not to take advantage of this absolute strategic advantage.

"Everyone, make a specific battle plan immediately!"

Xu Shiyang excitedly ordered:

"Let's go and mess up the Tartar's internal organs!"

"Yes!"

There was a clattering of chairs, and all the officers stood up and saluted their commander!
