The secret report from Luoyang was finally sent to Yuan Shu.

The little emperor Liu Xie failed to make waves in Luoyang, which means that Yuan Shu's dream of rejoining the Luoyang court was completely shattered!

In fact, the news had already been transmitted back to Shouchun, but it was pressed in Liu Jin's hands and not reported to Yuan Shu.

Not only Liu Jin, but also Gao Yu and Li Hanzhi, Zhu Youqian and others on the northern front have long learned the news of Luoyang. However, like Liu Jin, they all hid Yuan Shu.

The Shouchun Imperial Court is coming to an end, and Liu Jin, Gao Yu and others have already begun to arrange the way back. The purpose of suppressing the secret report is to buy yourself some more time.

Seeing Luoyang's secret report, Yuan Shu felt that he had been tricked. The only thing he could do was to kill Liu Xie's secret envoy Qin Duan to relieve his anger.

However, Qin Duan had already changed his name and surname to Qin Hui. Under Liu Jin's secret arrangement, Qin Hui was nowhere to be found.

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth in anger, and finally realized that the lifespan of him and the puppet Han court he supported had entered the countdown.

However, Yuan Shu was not reconciled.

He's going to make the last struggle, he's going to fulfill his dream of being an emperor!

Recruit Ming Chongyan, prepare to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and ascend the throne as emperor!

……

The days left of Yuan Shu are indeed numbered.

Songshan.

The meeting chaired by Liu Mang is ongoing.

At this meeting, there were many issues to be discussed. Including a series of issues such as the time of marching, the route of marching, the allocation of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, the prevention of surrounding princes, and the pacification of the people after seizing the city.

What is very humorous is that the Songshan Conference was a military meeting to fight against the Shouchun puppet Han court. However, the discussion of the main topic seems to have nothing to do with the other protagonist - the puppet Han court and the puppet Han army!

It's not that Liu Mang and his staff are blindly confident, it's really the puppet Han court and the puppet Han army, which are on the verge of annihilation, and it is impossible to cause any trouble to the Luoyang army, let alone threaten it.

If the topic of the Songshan Conference reaches Yuan Shu, I don't know how he feels.

Although there is no difficulty in eliminating the Shouchun puppet Han court and Yuan Shu, it has a great impact on Yuan Shu's battle and involves many problems. Among them, the most critical is the overall strategic layout.

In terms of strength, the Luoyang Army can completely crush the enemy and push all the way to the south.

However, fighting against Shouchun is not as simple as charging, killing the enemy, and calling it a day.

Liu Mang's opponent was not Yuan Shu, but the surrounding princes.

Yuan Shu and Shouchun were the public enemies of the Han Dynasty.

Attacking the dying Yuan Shu and the puppet Han court can not only gain territory, population, but also reputation. This kind of good thing of sharing the cake, the surrounding princes, who doesn't want to get involved?

Obtaining the greatest benefits at the lowest cost and laying a solid foundation for future strategies is a problem that Liu Mang and his staff should study in depth.

The overall strategic layout of the Battle of Shouchun is very troublesome to say and not easy to understand. Consider putting it another way and addressing specific issues.

For example, under the rule of the Yuan Shu puppet Han court, there are still a small area in the western part of Runan, Chen, Liang, and Peiguo in Yuzhou, as well as parts of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County in Yangzhou.

Push all the way and take all these areas, not to mention whether the Luoyang army has sufficient troops, Liu Mang wants to swallow the delicious food alone, and Cao Liu Sun and other surrounding princes will not agree at all.

It is wise to plan rationally and distinguish priorities.

Liu Mang and his staff carefully deliberated and determined the main and secondary objectives of the campaign.

The primary target is, of course, Runan County, Yuzhou.

Runan County has a large population and abundant resources. It is a strategic place connecting the Yellow River, Huai River, and Yangtze River basins, and must be the first to seize it.

Moreover, Runan County and Liu Mang's existing land are bordered, and it is difficult for other princes to interfere.

Capture Runan, the least cost, the greatest gain.

……

This is followed by Chen Guo.

Chen was surrounded by Yingchuan, Runan, Peiguo, Liang, Chenliu and other places, and its strategic position was very important.

However, as mentioned earlier, it is difficult to occupy Chen Guoyi and control Chen Guoyi.

The capture of Chen State is a great harvest and a great difficulty.

……

Liang Guo again.

The Liang State was located at the junction of Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and controlled the Liang State, which was conducive to the future march into Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

However, due to the location of Liang State to the east, after the capture of Liang State, the pressure on the supply of the garrison was great.

Moreover, Liang State is close to Cao Cao's base camp Yanzhou, and Cao Cao will not be stupid enough to wait for Liu Mang's army to be stationed at his doorstep.

Cao Cao and Liu Mang have always maintained a good relationship, one of the main reasons is that the two are far apart.

The so-called long-range close attack.

Because of the distance, it is not easy for the two parties to have a direct conflict of interest, so they can get along.

In their hearts, Liu Mang and Cao Cao both regarded each other as strong enemies in the future. However, from a strategic point of view, both men need each other as allies at the moment.

The state of Liang cannot be used as a major strategic goal.

……

There is also a small part of the western part of Peiguo, as well as Jiujiang County and Lujiang County of Yangzhou.

The western part of the country is not strategically important, so it does not require special attention.

And whether and how to seize Jiujiang and Lujiang requires Liu Mang and his staff to use their brains.

Shouchun, the capital of the Yuan Shu puppet Han court, is in Jiujiang County.

Attacking Ru Shouchun and destroying the puppet Han court is of symbolic significance.

Liu Mang knew the significance of attacking Shouchun, and Liu Bei naturally knew it very well.

If Liu Mang's Luoyang army wanted to attack Shouchun, it would first have to capture Runan.

And Liu Bei's Xuzhou army has occupied most of the eastern part of Jiujiang.

The Luoyang Army will send troops, and the Xuzhou Army will also attack, and the primary target of the Xuzhou Army must be Shouchun!

It can be said that Shouchun and the entire Jiujiang County, Liu Bei is bound to win. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Shouchun and Jiujiang are already the meat in Liu Bei's mouth. Other princes, it is difficult to get involved.

The difficulty of capturing Jiujiang and Shouchun was too great, and among all strategic objectives, ranked last.

……

Whether to seize Lujiang County, the staff and generals have some differences.

The benefits of seizing the Lujiang River are obvious.

Capture the Lujiang River, Luoyang Bingfeng, you can reach the Yangtze River basin. Xiang'an, Shuxian, Juchao, Wanxian, Xunyang and other places in Lujiang County control hundreds of miles of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the northern part of Poyang Lake.

The capture of the Lujiang River can lay a solid foundation for the future march south of the Yangtze River.

However, there are also drawbacks to seizing the Lujiang River now.

At present, the core area of Liu Mang's land is in Bingzhou and Sili. The Lujiang River is too southern, if the Lujiang River is occupied, the north-south span of Liu Mang's land will reach 2,500 li!

The area is vast, and it is really enjoyable to look at on the map. However, such a distance, such depth, governance and arming, the need for manpower and financial resources is unimaginable.

Some of the staff and generals headed by Liu Bowen do not recommend attacking Lujiang now.

Some people, led by Yue Fei, suggested that they occupy the Lujiang River as soon as possible, arrive in the Yangtze River valley as soon as possible, and form a naval army in the true sense of the word as soon as possible.

All other issues are going well, but the Lujiang issue is in a dilemma.

It was very late, and Liu Mang asked everyone to go back to rest.

Liu Mang needs time, think about it clearly.

Sitting alone under the lamp, Liu Mang stared at the map, still difficult to choose.

The guard knocked on the door and said, "My lord, Mr. Bo'an asks to see you." (To be continued.) )
