Su Muzhi's words were obviously despising the combat power of the Yuan Jing Army's troops, Ai Hu heard this, his nose was almost crooked, he first looked at Su Mu angrily, and then hugged his fist at Lu Chen and said, "King! ”

"Huh?" But as soon as his words began, Lu Chen had already waved his hand and said, "General Su has no other intentions, General Ai Hu don't think too much." ”

As he spoke, he looked around again and said, "As for which legion to use to enter Chu Land first, it doesn't matter, we can put it aside for the time being, now, we should discuss where to enter Chu Land from." ”

The place where they discussed the army was in the study of the palace, and here, a sand table was also temporarily set up, and in the sand table, there was a general situation of the Fengchu border.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Muzhi immediately pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, please see, with the current territory of our country, the other party bordering Chu is no longer only one Lingnan, and if our Feng army wants to enter Chu, there are three ways to go." ”

"The first one, the old road, the soldiers out of Lingnan, but this road has been the border of Feng Chu for more than 100 years, so the Chu army has always had troops stationed here, and it has a Xiongguan, if the Chu army resists, I am afraid it will not be easy to break through. The second, entering Seoul from the original chapter, although this road is easier, is far away from Chudu. The third, marching from the Zhanghe River, but it has to fight a water war. ”

With Su Muzhi's explanation, Lu Chen and the other generals also looked at the sand table, and after he finished speaking, Xiao Wang shook his head slightly and said: "The soldiers of our army are mostly northern foot soldiers and do not practice water warfare, and our country does not have large warships, on the contrary, the cities of Chu are mostly near the water, and the water division of Chu is much stronger than its infantry army, if our army fights with it on the water, I am afraid there is not much chance of victory." ”

"En......" Lu Chen rubbed his chin and nodded slightly, "However, even if you abandon the Zhanghe River and march from Lingnan or Hancheng, if you want to reach Chudu, you will still have to encounter water battles along the way." ”

He was not wrong, because there was a Yangtze River that spanned the territory of the empire, and most of the territory of Chu was in the south of the river.

The infantry of the Chu army played against the Feng army, and almost all the generals had the confidence to win, but the water division of the Chu State was famous all over the world, which was definitely a big problem.

Ai Hu said tentatively: "King, isn't our army going on this expedition to restore the country for the prince of Chu?" The generals of its sailors should be inclined to Prince Chu's side, right? ”

"It's hard to say right now." Lu Chen shook his head slightly.

As he spoke, he said with a straight face: "If our army enters Chu and the Chu army really resists fiercely, then we must win consecutive battles in a short period of time!" Only if they win, those generals of the Chu army may be inclined to the side of the prince of Chu, if they don't win, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. ”

His words are very reasonable, only in the face of absolute strength, the other party will consider defection, just like when Lu Chen raised troops, one of the important factors why his army can fight more and more is because he makes people see the hope of victory.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen pointed to the location of the Lingnan border on the sand table and said: "This king's intention, it is still from Lingnan to march, although there is a Chu army stationed here, but the Chu State foot soldiers, there is no need to worry, our army can continue to attack the city and pull out the village, first overwhelm the Chu army in momentum, and then make a plan when it advances into the riverside." ”

After speaking, he sighed slightly: "In the past few years, this king has not built a water master, it is the fault of this king. ”

The reason why he didn't build a sailor was that in his opinion, in the short term, he might not attack Chu, but who would have thought that the Chu Kingdom would suddenly change.

Lu Chen had already finalized where to march from, and at this time, Ai Hu asked for another order and said, "King, let our troops march first!" Wechen is willing to make a military order! Within ten days, you must advance into Chudi! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Chen could answer, Su Muzhi had already followed closely and said: "Weichen is also willing to make a military order, and within five days, he will definitely attack Chu Land!" ”

"General Su! You! Seeing him competing with himself like this, Ai Hu was anxious on the spot, and then rushed to Lu Chen and said: "King, Weichen can also attack Chu within five days!" ”

"That's it!" Lu Chen waved his hand a little irritably, and said: "This king's will, let Ai Hu's department fight the first formation, this army has been extremely loose recently, and it's time for them to go to the battlefield!" Otherwise, the army will not become an army! ”

Hearing this, Ai Hu's face turned red again, but soon, he clenched his fists again and said, "Weichen takes orders!" ”

Seeing that King Lu Chen's order had been issued, Su Muzhi could no longer argue, and then, Lu Chen and the generals made some strategic deployments, and also completely finalized the date for the Feng army to enter Chu.

After the military deployment was decided, Xue Huairen's side also quickly completed the transfer of grain, grass and ordnance, and began to mobilize the people, taking the lead to escort the grain and grass to Lingnan County.

The world has been peaceful for several years, and the Wind Army is the first to dispatch.

Such a movement naturally could not be concealed from the two countries, and soon, the news was transmitted back to Chu and Qingguo respectively.

Chu.

Hearing that the Wind King had begun to draw troops and march towards Lingnan, the eighth prince immediately panicked. Where is Lingnan? Once it passed, it was Chu Land, and no matter how stupid the eighth prince was, he could understand who the Feng Army was coming for!

In the court hall, he looked nervously at the ministers of Chu State, and said urgently: "The wind army has been dispatched, and it must be coming towards my Chu land. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Hao immediately stood up and bowed his hand and said: "The king doesn't have to worry, according to the report, the Feng army only dispatched 150,000 people this time, and on the border of Lingnan, there are 100,000 garrisons of our Chu army, and in a short period of time, it is impossible for the Feng army to break through." ”

Since the eighth prince succeeded to the throne, Guo Hao is now the number one minister in the court of Chu State, but as soon as he finished speaking, another minister sneered: "Lord Guo also underestimates the Feng army too much!" Who in the world doesn't know that the wind army is brave and good at fighting, how can our army of 100,000 people resist the army of 150,000 tigers and wolves!? ”

When Guo Hao heard this, he first sneered, and then said: "The Feng Army is very brave and good at fighting, but that is also for its ace legion, the Pingzhou Army, but the Feng Army dispatched this time is a part of the Yuan Jing Army, so Lord Liu, you are too worried." ”

"What about Yuan Jingjun? This time, the Wind King personally led the army, how could he be underestimated! ”

"It's not that this official underestimates the Feng army, but that our army is stationed on the border, and my king can also transfer troops again, can the Feng army defeat my Chu State with only 150,000 people!? What's more, the sailors of our Chu army are the best in the world, and the wind army is all northern foot soldiers, so how can they ever practice water warfare! Therefore, my king need not be worried! ”
