At the meeting, Gao Junshan put forward the general strategic policy of basing himself on Huguang, seizing Sichuan, and attacking Henan, and regarded the attack on Xiangyang as the first battle based on Huguang.

The reason why he was so confident in proposing to establish a foothold in Huguang at this time was because Liu Lishun and Zhao Shichun sent him the movements of Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and other rebels, and the situation in the world was already in his chest.

Since the crossing, after nine years, he has experienced hundreds of large and small battles, transferred to Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, created territory and lost territory many times, accumulated a lot of experience in practice, and also gathered the strength to compete with the Ming court.

Liu Lishun and Zhao Shichun's secret letter said that Li Zicheng came out of Shangluo Mountain, recruited troops and horses all the way, and collected several small groups of rebels such as Yidougu and clay pots, and currently has tens of thousands of soldiers, and has now reached the city of Nanyang.

Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying went to Daning and Wushan in Sichuan to turn the Kuizhou Mansion upside down, and Yang Sichang had already mobilized heavy troops to personally go to encircle and suppress it.

The secret letter also said that Hong Chengchou and Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting led 100,000 troops north to enter the Weijing Division. Zhu Youzhen listened to the proposal of Yang Sichang, the assistant of the pivotal assistant, and entered Hong Chengchou as the military affairs of Ji and Liao, the secretary of the military department and the right deputy governor of the imperial history, and the military affairs of Baoding, Shandong, and Hebei by Sun Chuanting. In this way, Gao Junshan has two less old enemies.

Huguang's Zuo Liangyu had lost the strength to fight with Gao Junshan after the defeat of Luo Yingshan, and he would have to recover his vitality for at least one or two years.

In such a context, Gao Junshan fully believes that he can control the entire Huguang with his own strength.

As soon as this major strategic principle was put forward at the meeting, Li Xin first stood up and expressed his support: "I believe that the most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to operate Huguang as a foothold." If you have a foothold, you can attack and retreat. In the current situation, the Ming Court is indeed like the building is about to collapse, and it is powerless to support it. However, on the battlefield, there are many changes, and we can't help but think about unexpected changes and be invincible. If there is a place to stand, even if the war is unfavorable for a while, it can be able to cope with the situation. The Art of War: 'Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible to the enemy; You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore. Based on Huguang is the best policy. ”

Xu Yixian has always been better than Zhuge Liang, he is more in favor of Jing Chu as the foundation, to the development of Sichuan and Shu, so that it is implicitly Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, Li Xincai finished speaking, he took over the conversation excitedly: "The lake is ripe, the world is full, the lake is surrounded by mountains, there are Jianghan and Dongting two major plains, and there are Luoxiao and Xuefeng risks, as long as you are based on Huguang, recruit troops to Tuntian, accumulate millet with weapons, and then map Sichuan Shu, Sichuan Shu is the land of Tianfu, fertile fields for thousands of miles, if the King of Qin crosses the land of Jing and Shu, great things can be done." ”

Cao Wenzhao said: "I thought that after gaining a foothold in Jingchu, we should first map Henan. Tu Henan should first Tu Luoyang. Luoyang is known as the world after the world, there is the danger of Hangu in the west, and the tiger prison in the east. Hangu Pass is just west of Lingbao, and a brigade guarding Hangu can prevent Shaanxi officials and troops from going out of Tongguan to the east. Moreover, the two mountains of Cuihan face each other, the terrain is dangerous, and ambushes can be set up everywhere. The tiger prison is closed in the border of Bishui County, since ancient times, it is the eastern gateway of Luoyang to defend it, the cliff is hundreds, the middle road can be passed, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Ten miles north of Luoyang City is Bi Mountain, beyond Bi Mountain is the Yellow River, as long as Mengjin is held, it will cut off the road of the official army to the north. There is a dragon gate in the south of Luoyang, which was called Yique in ancient times, and it is also very dangerous. In fact, from Luoyang to the south, it can be guarded everywhere. Bear's Ears Mountain and Funiu Mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles, have become the natural barrier of Luoyang, and Ruzhou is an important gateway to the southeast. If, after conquering Luoyang, we divide our troops into Nanding, Ruzhou and Yexian, and seize Nanyang and its affiliated prefectures and counties, we can connect with Huguang, and at that time, sweep the entire Henan, and make our army invincible. ”

Zhou Shichen also advocated entering the battle in Henan, and after Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he also expressed his opinion: "The "Art of War" cloud: 'The one who comes first and wins the people of the world is the Yadi. The land that Sun Tzu spoke of is a land of vast people and accessible in all directions. Henan is Qudi for the whole country, so it has been fought for by soldiers since ancient times. Today, in terms of Henan Province, there is still a large population in eastern Henan and central Henan, and the land is fertile, which is suitable for agriculture. If it is connected with Huguang, it can compete with the Ming Court. ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "It is everyone's consensus to take Huguang first, and the next step is to take Sichuan and Shu again, or take Henan again, I think it is better to take Sichuan and Shu as the top, and at the same time you can send a partial division to take eastern Henan." The reason why I plan to do this is because Li Zicheng has also arrived in Henan, and we want to share this piece of fat in Henan with him! It is unrealistic to occupy Henan alone, and we can only rule with Li Zi. ”

The Red Army friends asked: "Why don't we take advantage of Li Zicheng to occupy Luoyang?" ”

Bailisha said: "This is bound to clash with Li Zicheng, and now we still need to rely on him to contain the official army, otherwise, that time in Gucheng, King Qin will not be so polite to him!" ”

Gao Junshan bowed his head and said: "What Mao Cheng said is extremely true. We can't move Li Zicheng now, we still have to have friendly relations with him, and once the time comes, I will not be polite to him. ”

Ma Jinzhong asked, "When will it be?" ”

Gao Junshan reminded: "You all remember it for me, only when he reaches the highest peak, can we turn against him." Now we are his strongest allies, and we will lend a helping hand to him whenever he is in danger. ”

The Red Army friend asked: "When will he be considered the highest peak?" ”

Gao Junshan kept it a secret: "You will naturally know this at that time, in short, everything must be under my orders, and you are not allowed to turn your face with it without authorization." ”

Only Gao Junshan knew that the so-called highest peak was when he entered Beijing and Zhu was hanged by the inspection.

After the strategic policy of basing itself on Huguang, seizing Sichuan, and attacking Henan was finalized, the next item on the agenda was to plan to attack Xiangyang.

At that time, Xiangyang was garrisoned by Yang Shien, the deputy chief soldier of Huguang, with about 3,000 people; Garrisoned in Gucheng was Liu Guoneng, who was desperate for the Ming court, with 5,000 people; In addition, Dai Guozhu, the deputy commander-in-chief in Nanzhang, was confronting He Renlong, and Yicheng was guarded by Guo Jincheng.

Gao Junshan ordered He Renlong to contain Dai Guozhu and prevent him from withdrawing from the north to aid Xiangyang; Cao Wenzhao was responsible for blocking Liu Guoneng's reinforcements; Ma Jinzhong and Hui Dengxiang stayed in Fang County; Gao Junshan personally led Cai Zhishan, Zhou Shichen, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Yuanli, Zhang Hualong, Wang Shangli and other main forces, and an army of 50,000 troops to Xiangyang City.

Several of his ministers also had a division of labor: Xu Yixian and Li Xin stayed in Fang County, and Bailisha, Liu Hongru, and Tian Wenju followed Gao Junshan.

When Sun Yuanhua was in Gucheng, he cast twenty Hongyi cannons, and Gao Junshan also brought twenty Hongyi cannons with him on this expedition, the purpose of which was obvious, first, he wanted to use the cannon to blast open the gate of Xiangyang, and second, he wanted to test the power of the Hongyi cannon.
