The Huainan generals present were basically real high-level generals, plus Yan Keqiu and Guo Chongtao, two people who were more familiar with military affairs, they immediately thought about it after listening to Yang Wu's inquiry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, Li Shenfu has rich experience in actual combat and is a resourceful person, so he is the first person to understand Yang Wu's strategy; After him, Yan Keqiu and Guo Chongtao were outstandingly resourceful, so they also thought of it; Then Zhou Ben and Zhu Jin also thought of it, but the last remaining Qin Pei, Li Jian and others were still confused.

Yang Wu ordered Li Shenfu and the others not to say their thoughts, but to let them write them down with a pen and then uncover them together.

Of course, Yang Wu also wrote down his thoughts, and after everyone had written them, Yang Wu asked everyone to open the content they had written to view.

Seeing this, everyone laughed, these people wrote the same meaning, but no one guessed Yang Wu's plan.

Yang Wu's strategy is actually very simple, although Huainan has many siege methods, but siege is never an easy thing, not to mention that the garrison of Hongzhou has more than 40,000 people, if so many troops are fully defended, Huainan army wants to break through Hongzhou in the short term It is only afraid that it will be difficult.

So if you can not attack the city, it is naturally the best choice.

According to the information obtained so far, Liu Chu is extremely brave, but he is not calm; And judging by this man's past behavior, he prefers to attack rather than defend.

If the Huainan army occupied the most favorable terrain as soon as it arrived in Hongzhou, Liu Chu had to choose to defend the city with all his might; But if the Huainan army gave up the most suitable location for camping, Liu Chu would inevitably think that this was a major mistake by the Huainan army, so he chose to lead the army out of the city to occupy that place and defeat the Huainan army by offensive means.

Although this location is suitable for camping, compared with Hongzhou City, it is obviously inferior in defense.

As long as the Huainan army seized the opportunity, it could defeat Liu Chu in one fell swoop in the field.

When the main force led by Liu Chu was defeated, whether it was to persuade Zhong Kuangshi to surrender or directly attack the city, Huainan had the initiative.

This plan is simple to say, but it is made in response to the actual situation in Hongzhou today, as well as the personality characteristics of Liu Chu.

No matter what, Li Shenfu and the others were able to figure out their plan in such a short period of time, which Yang Wu was very pleased with.

These Huainan generals are all experienced people, not only brave battles, but also experienced, which is an important factor for Huainan to be able to win many battles.

In contrast, in addition to the low combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the incompetence of the generals of the armies of the other southern powers is a more important problem.

For example, Lu Guangchou, the assassin of Qianzhou, Tan Quanbo under his command is a good talent, and the soldiers of Qianzhou are not bad, but it is a pity that other Qianzhou generals are too incompetent, so that the territory of Qianzhou has never been able to expand, and can only be trapped in the land of the two states today.

After determining the strategy for using troops, the next day, Qin Pei led the army from Guangling.

This time, similar to the leading generals of the expedition to Jeju Island, except for a few veterans such as Qin Pei, most of the generals were young generals drawn from various armies, which was also to give more young generals the opportunity to hone and make meritorious contributions.

As for the possibility of the failure of the attack on Hongzhou because of the use of more young generals, Yang Wu was not worried at all, if the Huainan army was defeated by the Jiangxi army with the same strength, it would mean that the Huainan army had a big problem.

What's more, even if these young generals lack actual combat experience, they are much better than the Jiangxi army, at least in the past few years, there are many opportunities to go to the battlefield in the south and the north; Except for the one time when they attacked Shezhou a few years ago, the Hongzhou army rarely fought with other feudal towns over the years.

In this case, Yang Wu naturally chose to use this battle as an opportunity to brush up on the experience of the young general.

However, Yang Wu's pride did not last long, because soon after the news came that the envoy he sent to Fuzhou was killed by Wang Zhenzhi!

"Did Wang Zhenzhi eat a bear-hearted leopard? He dared to kill even the past envoys of the Lone Sect, what else did he not dare to do? Yang Wu was furious and roared loudly in the study.

"King, I heard that the envoy Zhang Zhiyuan we sent was too arrogant and rude in Fuzhou, so the king couldn't bear it anymore and killed him, if you look at it this way, it's not entirely because you want to make trouble with me Huainan!" On the side, Gao Miao hurriedly reminded.

What did Zhang Zhiyuan do in Fuzhou to make Wang Xianzhi kill him regardless of Huainan's anger, which Yang Wu and others did not know, but some news that circulated showed that this Zhang Zhiyuan was looking for his own death.

From a logical point of view, Wang Shenzhi's previous attitude towards Huainan should have been relatively close, at least Wang Shenzhi had no intention of making enemies with Huainan.

This was also confirmed by the news that Diao Yanneng had obtained from Jiangxi, and Wang Xianzhi did not join the alliance formed by Ma Yin against Huainan, but directly rejected Ma Yin's envoy.

Judging from these signs, the rumors that Zhang Zhiyuan was killed by Wang Xianzhi because he was too arrogant and rude, which should not be groundless.

Since the previous envoy did not perform his due duties well, then he changed to a suitable envoy and showed Wang Xianzhi that what Zhang Zhiyuan did before was only his own private action, and it had nothing to do with Huainan, and it should not be because of this person to ruin the friendship between Huainan and Fujian.

Presumably, after seeing Huainan's actions, Wang Zhenzhi would naturally understand which choice was most beneficial to him.

Yin Wengui even said that he recommended Zhang Zhiyuan to be the envoy at the beginning, and now that Zhang Zhiyuan has made such a big incident, he should also take the main responsibility.

So he offered to act as an envoy and send an envoy to Fuzhou again to make up for his mistakes.

Listening to the words of the two, Yang Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhang Zhiyuan was certainly at fault first, but after all, he was a messenger sent by Huainan, and after being killed by Wang Xianzhi, could it be that Huainan not only did not retaliate back, but instead sent someone to tell Wang Zhengzhi, "That Zhang Zhiyuan acted recklessly, you did a good job of killing him"?

It seems that these people who have read a lot of Confucian classics will inevitably be baptized by the Confucian set. This Gao Miao and Yin Wengui are still people who attach more importance to practice, and they still have this kind of idea, which shows how pedantic the thoughts of those scholars who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality must be! Yang Wu sighed secretly.

"The key to the matter is not whether Zhang Zhiyuan has a reason to kill, but that he is the messenger of my Huainan, representing the face of the king and my Huainan!" Zhou Ben didn't do it, and directly retorted: "Even if that Zhang Zhiyuan should be killed, then it should be killed by me Huainan!" He Wang Zhenzhi directly killed our envoy, this is a break with my Huainan, and now I don't think about how to teach Wang Shenzhi a lesson, but he sent someone to send an envoy again, such a pedantic move, is it my Huainan to do? ”

"Yes, even if my Huainan envoy is wrong, I Huainan should be punished, and it is not his turn to judge Wang Zhenzhi, let alone his turn to kill! Wang Zhenzhi's actions must be retaliated against! Li Shenfu was also unhappy.

The meaning of the other generals was similar to that of Zhou Ben and the others, and they all advocated that Wang Zhenzhi's mistake of killing the envoy should not be let go because Zhang Zhiyuan was at fault first.

Looking at the performance of these generals, Yang Wu was extremely pleased, this is the courage that a powerful force should have; As Gao Miao said, when both parties are at fault, they should first examine their own mistakes, which is a good quality if it is an individual; However, it is completely indispensable to use it in a country's foreign exchanges.

In fact, Yang Wu has always felt that the Confucian set of education used as a personal moral recuperation is still good, but it is not very reliable for governing the country.

This is also the reason why when he determined the topics of the Huainan imperial examination, he not only retained part of Confucianism, but also increased the assessment of other knowledge.

"But the king, the king is obviously unwilling to make enemies with my Huainan, if the king sends another envoy, it is very likely to avoid the war between the two families!" Although Yang Wu also looked disapproving, seeing that the crowd was unanimously opposed, Gao Miao still insisted on his own ideas.

Being able to reduce strife and resolve issues by peaceful means is naturally the best option.

Yang Wu sneered: "Send another messenger?" Why, can you guarantee that the messenger sent again will persuade the king to know that Natu will surrender? Otherwise, a war between the two families is inevitable! Besides, if Lone sends a messenger to go after this incident, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to make good friends with Wang Zhenzhi, but he will make him think that I Huainan is a bully! At that time, instead of befriending me Huainan, he will further develop undeserved ambitions! ”

"This ......," Gao Miao was speechless.

"Wang Zhenzhi killed my Huainan envoy, even if Zhang Zhiyuan was at fault first, didn't he know to expel Zhang Zhiyuan back and then send someone to explain the reason? So there is no need to discuss this matter again, since Wang Zhenzhi doesn't know what to do, then there is no need for me Huainan to forcibly paste it! Yang Wu finally said.

However, although the overall attitude towards Wang Zhenzhi was determined, judging from the current situation, Huainan really did not have many means to retaliate against Fuzhou before completely seizing Jiangxi.

Although it is possible to send a large army from Chuzhou or Wenzhou to attack the territory of Wang Shenzhi, that route is relatively far away, and it is obviously not a good time to divide troops to attack Fuzhou when Huainan is now concentrating its forces against Jiangxi.

"For the time being, let Wang Zhenzhi be proud for a while, and after Gu cleans up Jiangxi, he will clean up Fujian again!" After discussing for a while, Yang Wu decided to endure this breath for the time being and wait for revenge later.

Seeing that Yang Wu had already made a decision, Gao Miao could only shake his head and sigh, but it was not good to say anything.
