Chapter 769: Deception
"When! While! "A burst of bells melodious, but it is the Jingyang bell in the Taiji Palace, which is the sign of the last dynasty, Zhao Ding, Li Fu, Wang Pu and others in front are divided into two columns, slowly towards the Taiji Palace, the original dense square, gradually only some guards remained.
On the top of the main hall, Li Jing was dressed in a gown, his face was majestic, and his tiger eyes swept over everyone, and everyone shouted long live, with the consolidation of Li Jing's status, the whole dynasty gradually improved in terms of etiquette.
"Today's court meeting, call everyone to come, as long as one thing, that is, to talk about some things that may happen to us this year, this year the Jin people will definitely go south again, Zhao Song has no strength, he must not be the opponent of the Jin people, the land of Hebei is suitable for cavalry attack, but the land of Henan must not fall into the hands of the Jin people." Li Jing glanced at everyone and said, "Our goal this year is to seize the land of Henan and control Bashu. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces changed, but they didn't expect Li Jing to have such a judgment, thinking that the Jin people would definitely defeat Zhao Song, and even maybe break through Bianjing City, would Zhao Song perish?
"The king thinks that Zhao Song will be destroyed?" Zhao Ding couldn't help but speak.
"How long can a court that knows how to fight for power, has soldiers in the city, and does not know how to defend seriously, and thinks about how to defeat the enemy?" Li Jing said indifferently: "The Jin people are cruel, what we can see, the Jin people can also see, so next year, the other party will definitely attack Zhao Song." ”
"In that case, how can the king attack Zhao Song?" Li Xiao hurriedly stepped out and said.
"Hehe, naturally, the three-way army marched together, attacking Bashu all the way, attacking Hebei all the way, containing the Jin army, and directly attacking Bianjing all the way." Li Jing said with a smile: "This is an obvious matter, what do you think?" ”
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly showed a hint of strangeness, especially Zhao Ding and a few other people who knew Li Jing, who actually told their marching routes and combat policies in this kind of public, which was completely different from before, and it could even be said that it was a difficult thing, but now that it happened, everyone couldn't help but feel the weirdness in it, and even wondered if Li Jing had other layouts.
"The king." Li Xiao thought that he had obtained Li Jing's marching route, and he was so proud in his heart that he retreated without thinking about it, but unfortunately, he lowered his head and didn't see a strange smile on the corner of Li Jing's mouth.
"The three-way army, Cao Jing, is the grain and grass of the household department enough?" Li Jing looked at Cao Jing and asked.
"It can be supported for half a year, and the minister asks the king to fight quickly, and there can be no delay, otherwise, it will definitely shake the country's foundation." Cao Jing said honestly.
"Half a year is fine." Li Jing was silent for a while, and said, "But let's let people buy more grain!" War, I don't know when it will be resolved, we can't give up the war because we shake the country's foundation, I believe that whether it is the Jin people or the Zhao Song Dynasty, they will not last too long. ”
In the end, it is not a large-scale grain-producing area, Li Jing's early war relied on accumulation, but there is no need to worry about grain and grass, but now it is a large-scale war, and grain has become an important reason for restricting the decisive battle. Only in the Bashu area can the most fundamental problems be solved.
"I don't know who the king is going to marry?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"In the north, with Boyan as the commander, attack Hebei and contain the Jinren; General Xiao Weige led the grassland cavalry to prevent the Jin people from attacking from the grassland, Li Qiao led the soldiers and horses out of the pass, attacking the Jingxiang area, and the king personally led the army out of Luoyang and passed through Henan. Li Jing waved his hand, just pointed out a few main generals, and didn't even say the number of troops, not even the generals who accompanied the army.
"What's going on? It's as simple as that? Li Xiao and Li Han glanced at each other, there was a trace of doubt in their eyes, what a big deal it is to raise troops to unify the world, but in Li Jing's mouth, it is so casual, just set the main general, and not even the number of troops to be sent, could it be that this is just to confuse the outside world, where is the real place where Li Jing is really attacking.
"There are many rivers in Jingxiang, we need a water master, your majesty, our water division is not yet complete, at this time, I am afraid that there are some difficulties, I think it is better to wait for a while." Zhu Wu said.
"Then where does Mr. Zhu think it is better to attack?" Li Jing chuckled.
"Bashu." Zhu Wu glanced at everyone and said: "Bashu is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as long as you capture Bashu and train sailors in the upper reaches, if necessary, you will be able to defeat the Zhao Song sailors if you go down the river, and please let Your Majesty see it." ”
"Bashu Mountain is a dangerous road, although there is not much defense, but it is very difficult to attack Bashu, although Jingxiang has a dense water network, but as long as Xiangyang is captured, the entire Jingxiang land will be much more convenient." Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the biggest difference between us and Zhao Song is that we have a large number of cavalry, although Jingxiang has a dense water network, it is also suitable for cavalry attacks, on the contrary, Bashu is different, there are many mountain roads, and many places are even more open, as long as the pass is blocked, our cavalry will be useless." Your Majesty, although we lack sailors, it is very simple to seize the land of Jingxiang, and the minister is willing to raise a strong army to attack Jingxiang and take Jingxiang for the king. ”
The veteran Hu Yanzhuo is obviously different from Zhu Wu's opinion, thinking that this time is the most appropriate time to attack Jingxiang, although there is no Suhu at this time, but the Jingxiang area is still very suitable for agriculture, as long as the Jingxiang area is captured, you can have enough grain and grass.
"The two lakes are familiar with each other." Li Jing said lightly: "The two lakes are actually in the area of Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, these two places have fertile land, and farming in this place will definitely yield a bumper harvest; Second, the Jingxiang area is the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, as long as we can base ourselves on the Jingxiang area, we can cut the entire Jiangnan into two sections, and we can calmly clean up Bashu and Jiangnan. Li Jing decided to seize Jingxiang first to fulfill his thirst for food.
After Zhu Wu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, he knew that Li Jing had no way to do this, although Bashu was good, but it was very difficult for Bashu grain to be transported to Guanzhong, and it was not convenient for Jingxiang, with the increase in the number of soldiers and horses under Li Jing, the food problem became more and more prominent, forcing Li Jing to make such a decision.
