Although Zhang Yongde suffered a loss and was punished, he only said that Ye Hua trained his troops well, and his ability to fight may not be good!

"Champion Hou, are you afraid of Li Hongji'er? Are you afraid of Zhang, I'm going to screw his head off and dedicate it to Your Majesty! Zhang Yongde said angrily: "Your Majesty, as long as you give 10,000 elite soldiers to the ministers, you will definitely sacrifice Li Hongji's head!" ”

Guo Wei had a calm face, did not look at Zhang Yongde, but stared at Ye Hua, and asked, "What do you mean by the pattern?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the Southern Tang Dynasty took the initiative to attack the Great Zhou, but it was actually a temptation!"

Guo Wei thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Go on." ”

"The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty are bounded by the Huai River, and the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry is invincible, while the Southern Tang Dynasty sailors and foot soldiers have merits. What Li Hongji is most afraid of is that Da Zhou will surprise him and hit his weak link. And the most hopeful thing is that Da Zhou raises troops and fights him to the death, once he falls into a stalemate, Da Zhou's advantage will be gone. Nantang can rely on the sailor to continuously transport grain, grass and horses, and it is difficult to say whether the final victory or defeat will be. ”

Historically, with Chai Rong's eloquence, he launched three attacks before he took all the land in Jiangbei to occupy the Southern Tang Dynasty, during which the twists and turns were complicated, and he also touched several nails, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was by no means weak!

Ye Hua's words undoubtedly slapped Zhang Yongde in the face.

Recklessness and loss of hard work is exactly what Li Hongji saw first.

On the battlefield, the more others want you to do it, the more you can't do it! Such a simple truth, what else do you not understand, Zhang Yongde was choked and speechless, his big eyes rolled, and he said sharply: "Champion Hou, since you can't go to Shouzhou, then you say, where do you want to fight?" ”

Ye Hua smiled, he asked people to spread out the map and stretched out his finger to point to a place!

The big guy leaned over to take a look, and when he finished reading, everyone shook their heads except Wei Renpu. Some people were afraid of Ye Hua's face and didn't laugh, but some people couldn't help but despise, where they chose, it was just chicken ribs!

Zhang Yongde looked down on Ye Hua even more, this kid is really a straw bag, he doesn't have any real talent, as long as he has a little brain, he won't choose such a place!

So where did Ye Hua choose?

He chose Haizhou!

Haizhou is north of the Huai River, and it is also the only land north of the Huai River in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Attacking here, without crossing the river, is very easy, almost at your fingertips.

However, no one wants to take Haizhou, the reason is very simple, this is a piece of chicken ribs! Due to the proximity to the sea, the tidal currents invaded, the soil was poor, and the food production was very low, and the people were not able to support themselves and had to rely on fishing for a living.

Poor and remote, a wilderness.

What's the use of taking Haizhou?

It's just that it looks good, and it's worthless. Even if Nantang loses Haizhou, he will not feel a little distressed. If you want to really hurt the Southern Tang Dynasty, you must attack Shouzhou, Chuzhou, and Yangzhou, these are the places that are fatal!

Ye Hua's vision is too bad, it's incomparably bad, it's not enough!

Everyone put on a high-minded appearance and didn't want to talk nonsense with him. Ye Hua also has a temper, he is looked down upon by a group of big bosses with muscle content far exceeding his brain, he also has a temper, you are stupid people who don't understand anything!

"There are two advantages to playing Haizhou, one is that it is easy to win; Second? Ye Hua deliberately lengthened his voice, and when everyone was impatient, he said: "The second is that Wu Yue's sailor can come to dock and realize the meeting of the two parties!" ”

When they heard this, Zhang Yongde and the others took a breath, it is true that Haizhou is nothing else, but it is a good port, and it can meet Wu Yue.

But what's the use of being a teacher?

Wu Yue's troops are weak, and when he arrives on the battlefield, not only will he not be able to help, but he will also drag down the soldiers of the Great Zhou, what use can it be! People still can't agree.

Ye Hua didn't expect them to have much strategic thinking, facing the map, he talked eloquently.

"Haizhou is our springboard to enter Nantang, but not by land, but by sea! When Wu Yue's sailors arrived, we could use Wu Yue's ships to attack Yancheng and other places to destroy the salt production areas of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

And Li Hongji prides himself on being a hero, arrogant, if there is an internal disturbance, he can't bear the pressure, and he will send troops to protect the salt. At this time, let's do it again, let's wait for work, and it is not difficult to break Li Hongji. Ye Hua said confidently: "Winning a few states and counties, how much territory to seize, is not as important as completely disrupting the economy of Nantang, the economy collapses, the people's hearts will collapse, and at that time, Nantang will be a piece of meat, and it can be swallowed at any time!" ”

A similar suggestion was made by Ye Hua when he united with Wu Yue. However, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were still accustomed to staring at the land, staring at the gains and losses of the city's territory.

How to use the sea route and how to play economic warfare are all new topics, and many people have never thought about it, who knows if Ye Hua is whimsical and untrustworthy.

Guo Wei pondered for a while and looked at Wei Renpu.

Lao Wei grabbed his beard and laughed, "Champion Hou, I didn't expect you to watch "Pipe". Wei Renpu turned to Guo Wei and said: "Sage, when Guan Zhong assisted Duke Qi Huan, he once purchased Lu Mian's method to subdue Lu Guo, laying the foundation for Duke Qi Huan to dominate the world. Lao Chen also didn't expect that the champion Hou could actually learn and use it lively, and he was really a young hero, but I was afraid that Li Hongji was far inferior to our champion Hou! ”

Guo Wei's eyes lit up, "Mr. Wei, is this plan useful?" ”

"Well, the minister thought that he could give it a try, all in all, starting with salt is far better than fighting hard in one city and one place!"

Guo Wei thought about it for a while, he felt that even if it didn't work, he wouldn't suffer a loss, if it did, the Southern Tang Dynasty would be in chaos, it would be pie in the sky!

"Zhang Yongde, I will order you, lead 5,000 men and horses, and immediately attack Haizhou!"

It's a good thing to be able to fight, but Ye Hua came up with an idea, why is he so awkward to do dirty work! Zhang Yongde really doesn't like to play conspiracy, isn't it good to have the ability to fight head-on? With Lao Tzu's ability, he is not afraid of the Southern Barbarians!

Guo Wei sank his face, "If you don't want to go, there will naturally be others!" I remind you that you must follow the strategy of the champion Hou, and if you dare to disobey the military order, you will be killed immediately! ”

Zhang Yongde was so frightened that he hurriedly promised to quickly transfer troops.

He can't do anything else, he's really a good thug, when it comes to the ability to command the war, compared to Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Ye is half a step higher!

At a distance of 400 miles, Zhang Yongde only took 3 days to kill outside Haizhou City, and killed the defenders inside before they had time to react.

The whole battle lasted less than half a day.

Zhang Yongde killed 2,000 defenders of the Southern Tang Dynasty and more than 1,000 prisoners.

You Li Hongji is the first year of junior high school, don't blame Lao Tzu for being the fifteenth!

He was on the seashore, killed all the captives, threw the corpses into the sea, and attracted many sharks to devour them, as if they had arrived at the Shura field......

Haizhou was lost, and the news reached Li Hongji's ears.

He is not very old, he is handsome, if he doesn't know his identity, he will only be regarded as a white-faced scholar, not a prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty with heavy troops!

"Hit Haizhou?"

"Hahahaha!" Li Hongji looked up to the sky and laughed, "Guo Wei is really old, so he doesn't use it." ”

His subordinates were puzzled, and Li Hongji rushed and said: "Haizhou is in the north of the Huai River, Guo Wei didn't even dare to cross the Huai River, he only dared to grab a piece of chicken ribs, just to look good, he is not old!" ”

After Li Hongji finished speaking, he became more and more happy, and couldn't help but say: "God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the father!" Guo Wei has no enterprising spirit, and this battle will be lost! Pass my orders, the whole army is ready, I will break the Zhou soldiers! ”

Li Hongji set the tone, although his subordinates had other ideas, they didn't dare to say it, who let our prince be so domineering! Just obey the order!
