"Brother Yun, it seems that you are doing this differently than we planned before? Before, you didn't say that you wanted to unite the forces of Southern Chu, Jiangzhou, and Nanzhou to deal with the Northern Yuan, but now, you are going to put the Southern Chu side in a predicament, and then use the forces of the Jiangzhou White Lotus Sect to harass it, Nanzhou Huateng, I'm afraid he won't do it, after all, he still has the orthodox royal descendant Tianping King in his hands! Guo Feng didn't agree with what Li Gengyun said about taking Lizhou, after all, the strategy that Li Gengyun had set for them before was to unite the three southern states, plus the help of Southern Chu, gather a large army, and counterattack the Northern Yuan. But now they have to send their own troops, and they actually want to put Nanchu in a predicament, so not only is their strength insufficient, but even the rear is a little unstable, I am afraid that they will be miscalculated.

"Yes, Mr. Li, according to the previous plan between Mr. Li and me, use the 100,000 army of Southern Chu, plus the ambush soldiers built in various places, unite Huateng and Jiangzhou, form the Southern Alliance, unite the righteous heroes of the Great Song Dynasty from all over the country to fight against the Northern Yuan aliens, and recapture the ...... of the Great Song Dynasty."

When he was in Qingfeng Village, Ma Wenlong was also present, and he also knew that the strategy and the plan that Li Gengyun discussed with Zhuge Xuan and Sima Ze in Qingfeng Village and the plan he finally decided were completely different from what he said now, which made them not only suspicious, but also a little worried about whether there would be deviations, which would lead to the failure of the matter?

"Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent! What's more, the situation on this battlefield is unpredictable, and the relationship between us and the Northern Yuan Dynasty and other forces is also very delicate. Take the recent White Lotus Sect as an example, the two saints before and after stayed in my Xiangzhou, a few days ago their holy envoy Cao Cao also came to me to negotiate conditions, I have promised them, now we are temporarily cooperating with the White Lotus Sect, as long as we do something in Lizhou, then they will inevitably do some actions in Dongzhou and Sizhou. Song Qing's actions in Lizhou before, weren't it because the White Lotus Sect had made good progress in Sizhou? However, this time it seems that Lu Guan also went with him, and in order to reduce losses, they also made an action to hide their whereabouts according to the situation a few years ago. ”

"Hua Teng didn't find that he was lagging behind at this time? Knowing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the important military and political officials who guard Dongzhou, Chaozhou and other places have gone to the imperial city to prepare to congratulate Yeluxiao on the New Year. However, I am afraid that they will not have a good life, after all, this large group of people all need to eat, even if Nanzhou has enough food and grass, it will take several months to digest so many tens of thousands of people. ”

Li Gengyun analyzed the situation of his own side and the White Lotus Sect and Hua Teng together with the Central Plains a few days ago, and the White Lotus Church launched an attack on the regular Northern Yuan army stationed in Dongzhou and Sizhou after the year, that is, the army led by the lonely guest himself, and Li Gengyun's original plan in the Northern Yuan Dynasty to let Yeluhu control the military power, it is best to let Yeluhu be directly responsible for the military affairs of Lizhou and carry out the offensive affairs of Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang, so that Li Gengyun will be more confident and grasp before the end of the new year. Lizhou, as well as Xizhou and Northern Xinjiang, will be back in the bag. As for Hua Teng's side, since their troops did not encounter large-scale sniping when they attacked Dongzhou and Chaozhou before, it was relatively smooth, and they also took a lot of people from the land of the two states. If it weren't for the later Sima Xiu who led the army to strangle, I'm afraid that Hua Teng and them would have to stay in Dongzhou and Chaozhou. It is also a pity that Baili Xi did not transfer Sima Xiu from Chaozhou, but let him be stationed, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The reason why Hua Teng did this was to not only rob property and expand armaments, but more importantly, to convert these ordinary people into his own soldiers, because what he took away was basically those young and middle-aged men, and those old people and women and children were in the last row of the team. And Hua Teng returned to Nanzhou with such a group of angry divisions, I believe that it will not be long before these guys will become a very powerful force under their brainwashing, which is also the purpose of Hua Teng this time.

From the military aspect alone, now in the three southern states, the strongest military strength should be Nanzhou Huateng, but if you consider it from the perspective of comprehensive strength, Xiangzhou does not have to be inferior to Nanzhou, but Jiangzhou is now in a very embarrassing situation, and I don't know if Bai Chongyang has other plans now.

"If Guo Jia doesn't come out, then Nanzhou doesn't have to worry. If Guo Jia chooses to help Huateng, then I believe that the cooperation between us and Nanzhou will be very pleasant! Li Gengyun said with a smile, and then he made a gesture to Zhao Zhen, which means "five", that is, the five policies he set for Zhao Zhen at the beginning.

"Hmm!"

At the beginning, Li Gengyun put forward five suggestions to Zhao Zhen in one breath, which made Zhao Zhen stunned, and now Zhao Zhen said that after telling all the five suggestions made by Li Gengyun to everyone present, everyone was stunned, they knew that these policies were all from the palace, but they were just some simple decrees, and they could not be completely linked. But through Zhao Zhen's narration and Li Gengyun's description, it sounds like these five policies are by no means ordinary and simple, and they are completely tailor-made decisions for Xiangzhou.

In particular, the reform of the military system made Ma Wenlong and Zhao Ziyi and their generals extremely surprised to hear that the original army was simply a person who was the supreme commander and commanded all the troops in the army, but Li Gengyun's reformed military system, although he was still a direct commander, but all troops in the army would be controlled by a separate second commander, and if the first commander wanted to use special troops, he must obtain the consent of the second commander. For example, Ma Wenlong is now a general, and he can be regarded as the head of the three armies, assuming that Zhao Ziyi is the commander of the cavalry and controls all the cavalry in Xiangzhou. So if Ma Wenlong wants to mobilize the cavalry, he must get Zhao Ziyi's consent, and Zhao Ziyi accepts Ma Wenlong's dispatch, but he must have a tiger talisman order before he can act. This is to strengthen the centralized system in the military and avoid the recurrence of the Fangtong incident.

In addition, for the change of military ranks, Li Gengyun's plan is to reorganize the ranks of the army, and the ranks of the same type of army will be divided by the number of people, and the more the number of people, the higher the rank; Different types of armies are divided into ranks according to the importance of combat on the battlefield, for example, in modern warfare, the rank of a non-commissioned officer of a special forces unit and the commander of an ordinary infantry regiment is the same. However, the number of people led by the two is completely different, the non-commissioned officer chief only has 20 special forces, while the number of a regiment is 400 people, a difference of 20 times, precisely because the importance of the arms is different, the military ranks of the non-commissioned officer chief and the regiment commander are still the same.

The military reform refreshed the values of the generals and made them speechless for a moment.
