The first day of the sixth month in the year 277. Ma Yi, Zhang Zun, Wang Jun in Yizhou, Du Pre and Yanghu in Yuzhou, Wei Qian and Ma Long in Xuzhou, Zhao Tong in Jizhou, Zhao Yi in Yongzhou, Pei Xiu, Lu Ya, Ma Guo, Huo Zai, Tian Xu, Huangfu Min, Wang Mai, etc. in the court. All of them gathered in Wancheng in Nanyang County, Jihan. A military conference was held.

There is only one theme for this meeting: Destroy Wu!

What is slightly different from the previous one is that the host of this meeting is not the big Sima Guan Yi that everyone is used to. It is Zhang Yi, the general of the cavalry who has gradually faded out since the Northern Expedition and the Battle of Jieting. and Luo Xian, the guard general who is mainly responsible for the task of guarding the palace in every big war.

"Hehehe, please take a seat. Don't be unaccustomed to it just because the main seat is not a big Sima. ”

"How dare the last general, please give the order to the general of the chariot cavalry!"

"Hahahaha~~" Although he was also in his seventies, Zhang Yi, who was full of red light at this time, looked extremely excited, and he patted the three gold stars on his shoulders vigorously: "You may have also figured it out, Da Sima loves the veteran and gave the commander of this operation to the old man." just wanted the old man to take advantage of this battle and promote the marshal. The old man is seventy years old, and he has fought all his life for the Han Dynasty, and has seen the Han Dynasty from the verge of destroying the country to dominating the world today. Plus the children and grandchildren are still competing...... It can be said that if this battle can be successfully ended, it will be promoted to the rank of marshal. Then the old man can be said to be complete. Therefore, Yu Gong, this battle is whether my Han can dominate the world! For private reasons, can the old man go to see the prime minister, Yuan Jian and Boyo without regrets, everything is up to you! ”

"The last general will do his best!"

"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court has issued a conscription order a month and a half ago. It is expected to expand the national army to 500,000 and allocate 400,000 of them to the front line of the war against Wu. Although the country has prospered in recent years, the standing army of 500,000 is still a great burden on the country. Therefore, before the old man left Beijing this time, His Majesty, Da Sima, and even Jian Wushuang told the old man that the time of this battle should be controlled within one year as much as possible. ”

Looking at the silent crowd below, Zhang Yi nodded at Luo Xian. Luo Xian said: "Everyone, let's release the strategy for this attack on Wu. What you need to understand is that according to the previous practice of my Han Dynasty, the secrecy level of this strategy is the highest level, if anyone leaks it, hehe, needless to say, there is its own national law waiting! But this time, Ben will make a special note and don't need to be too secretive. If anyone wants to find out, you can leak some ...... down the river."

"Huh? What does General Wei mean by this? ”

"It's very simple, this time, my big man crushed Wu Dog with a dignified array. I am not afraid of any targeted measures at all. On the contrary, if you can make enough prestige before sending troops, I believe that in this southern expedition, many Eastern Wu families will take the initiative to defect. ”

"I see...... The last general will understand. ”

"Good, ladies and gentlemen, this time to attack Wu, the country dispatched 400,000 troops. It is expected that all forces will be in full force by September this year. Due to this requisition, it is mainly the retired veterans of the Han Dynasty and the soldiers who were dismissed from the former Jin Kingdom. Therefore, after the new recruits are in place, it will not take too long to train. The estimated time for the dispatch is October this year.

In this attack on Wu, according to the strategy of Da Sima, the army of 400,000 was divided into three routes. Among them, Yizhou is the western front, with 150,000 troops. Nanyang is the middle line, with 150,000 troops. Xuzhou is the eastern front, with 100,000 troops.

The strategy was expected to be as follows: in early October, the central line was to launch an attack on Xiangyang in Soochow, attracting the main force of Soochow's Jingzhou Corps to leave the Yangtze River defense line and enter the Jiangbei and Han River valleys. After that, at the end of December or the beginning of January, the main forces of the Western Front went down the river by boat and took Xiling, Gangneung and other places. and encircled and annihilated the Jingzhou Corps of Eastern Wu with the main force of the central line. At the same time, the Eastern Front should carry out a corresponding strategy according to the movements of the Yangzhou Corps in Huainan of Eastern Wu. If the Jingzhou Corps of Eastern Wu is in a predicament and its Yangzhou Corps is forced to advance westward to support, then our Xuzhou Corps should immediately move south with the whole division, take Shouchun and Hefei, and coerce Jianye. If the Yangzhou Corps of Eastern Wu did not move no matter how badly its friendly troops in Jingzhou were beaten, then our Xuzhou Corps only needed to stand still. In the end, when the two major corps in the direction of Jingzhou completed the merger and then continued down the river, the Yangzhou Corps had no way out except to surrender.

The above is the general strategy of this expedition. Do you have any questions? ”

"General Wei said it clearly and clearly, and the subordinates have no objections."

At this point, Ji Han's military team to attack Wu this time is actually very clear.

Commander-in-Chief: Che Cavalry General Zhang Yi.

Chief of Staff: General Wei Luo Xian.

Commander of the Western Front: Former General Zhang Zun.

Commander of the Western Front Naval Army: Hengjiang General Wang Jun.

Commander of the Central Front Army: Zhennan General Du Pre.

Commander of the Eastern Front: Zhendong General Ma Long.

and Yizhou Thorn Shi Ma Yi, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Yanghu, and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Wei Qian are the logistics support officers of these three large corps.

"Good!" Zhang Yi coughed heavily: "Everyone, this is the last big battle within the fifteen states of the Great Han Dynasty. In the public domain, the country will be unified. For private reasons, many of you from the old man to the old man are in the last big battle of their lives. When he was promoted to the rank of knight, he left his name in history. It's up to this battle! Therefore, everyone, please do your best to destroy Soochow in one fell swoop for the Han Dynasty and for yourself! ”

"No! Please rest assured that the general of the Che Cavalry will definitely level the Eastern Wu and rule the world for the Han Dynasty! ”

……

Ji Han's large-scale conscription is not as able to cover up as Sun Hao, who spent three years to gather 50,000 troops. Therefore, as soon as the conscription order was issued on Chang'an's side, Dongwu soon received the news.

What if you just get a message?

For many courtiers in Eastern Wu, Your Majesty the Emperor, you are really dying! People have no intention of sending troops to us for the time being, how can you provoke others? Provoke it, provoke it, and hide it from us? You are like this, and it hurts us to be courtiers.

And what about Sun Hao? I was also depressed and panicked.

Originally, according to Sun Hao's estimate, the assassin history of Nanjiaozhou was Guan Suo, as Guan Yi's only surviving uncle. Guan Sanye was attacked, and he had to find a way to rescue his nephew. And the distance from Chang'an to Nanjiaozhou is too far, so it will involve a lot of Ji Han's national strength. If Ji Han wants to launch another large-scale offensive in the direction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, he will not be able to do so.

It's a pity that Guan Yi's direct order to Guan Suo is: fight if you can, and withdraw if you can't. The three counties of Nanjiaozhou are not anything to give to Dongwu for the time being. When I destroy Soochow, won't these three counties come back again?

It is still Sun Hao's estimation that after the three counties of Nanjiaozhou fell into war. Jihan's maritime trade was completely cut off. The families of the Ji and Han dynasties, especially the Kwantung clans, would definitely be dissatisfied with the severance of trade, so they launched a rebellion in the Ji and Han dynasties or actively colluded with the Eastern Wu.

However, the news from the Dianxiao is very clear: after the news of Nanjiaozhou spread, all the representatives of the family in the Ji Han Dynasty were interested in submitting the chapter to Zhongshu Province like snowflakes. The content is almost identical: send a large army and destroy Soochow!

Again, the family is a wall-to-wall grass. The current situation is so obvious, Ji Han is much stronger than Dongwu. The family would rather temporarily endure the small pain of the sea trade cut off for a year or two, rather than choose the big pain of the whole family dying if they are not careful.

It is still Sun Hao's estimate. In his opinion, Guan Yi, as a powerful minister, will sooner or later usurp the Han Dynasty and become independent. Keeping Soochow can help him further control the government and further complete the layout. So, even if you provoke Ji Han. Guan Yi's reaction was at most a limited counterattack......

In short, Sun Yuanzong's estimates were all wrong. The response of the Jihan government was completely beyond the capacity of Soochow.

"Your Majesty, the news from the school is very clear, the strength of the Han Kingdom in this invasion is likely to exceed 400,000!"

"What?! Shunmin, don't talk nonsense. Then how can the Han Kingdom have so many troops? ”

"Your Majesty, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the country, how dare the minister come nonsense in this matter? Under all aspects of this invasion, the Han Kingdom completely did not defend our school. As if we were afraid that we wouldn't hear the news...... At first, the minister also thought that this was a bluff by the Han Kingdom, but after repeated verification, we found that it was all true. ”

"Humph! Guan Zifeng is simply stupid, why don't you learn to learn Song Xianggong...... I'll let him see, my Da Wu is not easy to mess with! Come on, pass on the decree, recruit generals, general Zuo and others to join the construction industry! ”
