When General Lu Chang's fleet arrived at the dock, Su Wei led the Jiangnan civil and military forces to wait here for a long time.

The general Lu Chang landed ashore, and Su Wei hurriedly led the crowd forward to greet him.

"General, you're back, I'm a little anxious to wait, hehe."

"Master Su has worked hard, this boat is sailing against the current, and he can't be in a hurry. It's Lord Su's age, and I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it after a long time. ”

"It's not hard to be old, it's the hard work of the general, who personally led the army across the sea to fight thousands of miles. What Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, did not do, the general destroyed Goguryeo in a few months, and all the civil and military cadres in the family admired the general, what a god. ”

"The land of projectiles is not enough to worry about. Lord Su, you see, among the women who got off the boat behind were the queen, the princess, and a large number of palace beauties. Let's see if you also choose a beautiful woman who is satisfied with your heart and take her home as a concubine? ”

Lu Chang turned his head and pointed to the boat, and said with a smile to Su Wei.

Su Wei hurriedly shook his head vigorously and said with a smile: "Hehe, general, you can spare the old decay." The old man still wants to live a few more years to witness the great deeds of the great general, but this thing must not be allowed. The old man is an ordinary man, but he can't compare to the spirit of the great general Ryoma. ”

Lu Chang was just joking with Su Wei, thinking that Su Wei was already over fifty years old, and if he was matched with a few more beauties, I was afraid that he would be sucked into jerky in a few years.

Lu Chang and Su Wei's kung fu talking together made the gang of generals behind him anxious.

There were a large number of generals standing behind Su Wu, and they were most concerned about the results of the battle on the peninsula, although there was news that the Jiangnan Army had taken the peninsula, they still hoped that the general would say it in person before they felt steady.

So, the generals pushed Qin Qiong to the front.

Qin Qiong had already come out of the crowd, so she had no choice but to come over.

"The general is back, Qin Qiong and the others welcome the general's triumphant return. I heard that the battle on the peninsula was going smoothly and that Goguryeo had been wiped out, is this true? ”

"Shubao, let's put it this way, at present, Goguryeo really doesn't exist zài, their royal city was burned to ashes by our army, including Goguryeo's Rongliu King Gao Jianwu, all the ministers have perished.

Due to climatic reasons, our army has not crossed the river to march into Liaodong for the time being, and I am afraid that we will not be able to recover the land of Liaodong until the beginning of spring next year.

Moreover, the Goguryeo army in the land of Liaodong has almost wiped out its main army, and it is reasonable to say that Goguryeo has destroyed the country, hehe. ”

This is what the general Lu Chang said himself, and it couldn't be more true. The Jiangnan Army actually wiped out Goguryeo, it's too godly!

It's no wonder that the generals have this question, this thing is really confusing, the Jiangnan Army dispatched a total of less than 100,000 troops, how many troops were used by the Emperor Sui to conquer Goguryeo three times, that is a million army!

But this is the case, and everyone can't believe it, and the only reason left is that the general is like a god.

In the General's Mansion, a cadre of civil and military officers was lined up on both sides, and the general Lu Chang sat in the middle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the area south of the Yellow River is basically stable, the autumn crop harvest does not seem to be a big problem, at least it can ensure the supply of our army. The training of the 600,000-strong army has also been fruitful, and everything is ready only to the east wind.

Looking at the area north of the Yellow River, there are constant wars, and the three major regions of Hebei, Shanxi, and Guanzhong are constantly in war, and the consumption is almost over, and it is imperative for the Jiangnan Army to attack.

Therefore, General Ben decided that at the beginning of spring next year, Jiangnan would launch a military operation and take the initiative.

In terms of strategy, our army will adopt a strategy of attacking from both sides and defending in the middle.

To the east, General Zhang Yu led his troops across the Yalu River to the north, recovering the Liaodong region, and then continuing to advance north.

Hebei and Shanxi in the Central Plains did not move for the time being, concentrating their forces to eat the Guanzhong region in one bite, and then forming a three-sided attack on Shanxi and Hebei. What do you think? ”

Hearing this, the generals were very excited, this is the rhythm that wants to sweep the world.

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, Xu Shiji pondered for a moment, and made suggestions.

"General, now Dou Jiande in Hebei is relatively weak, if our army attacks from the south to the north, and General Zhang in the east waves his army to threaten Hebei, Dou Jiande will be eliminated soon.

Moreover, once our army destroys Dou Jiande's forces, our army will connect the Hebei region with Liaodong, wouldn't it be more conducive to the posture of our army? ”

What Xu Shiji said, everyone thinks it makes sense.

General Lu Chang glanced at the people lying down, and said with a smile: "Yes, the strength of Dou Jiande in Hebei is indeed not comparable to the Jiangnan army, and our army has never regarded Dou Jiande as the main opponent.

Similarly, Liu Wuzhou, who is in Shanxi, will not pose a threat to Jiangnan despite his recent rapid development.

Because, whether it is Dou Jiande in Hebei or Liu Wuzhou in Shanxi, they have no political foundation, and the foundation of political power is very weak.

Therefore, whether it is Dou Jiande in Hebei or Liu Wuzhou in Shanxi, they are not the first targets of Jiangnan's attack, but let them continue to exist for a period of time.

And their existence will also make the forces of all parties contain each other.

At present, Dou Jiande in Hebei is entangled with Luo Yi, while Liu Wuzhou is fighting with Li Shimin, which is exactly the situation we want to see.

Moreover, don't look at Liu Wuzhou's strong strength, although Li Shimin has few soldiers and generals, he is cunning with soldiers, and in the end he will definitely not be able to fight Li Shimin, and defeat is inevitable.

Li Yuan in Guanzhong was completely different from them, and Li Tang's regime was supported by the Guanzhong clan and gate lords, and he had a political foundation.

Therefore, the Li Tang regime was the force that posed the greatest threat to the Jiangnan regime. If the Jiangnan Army wants to seize the world, it must do everything possible to eliminate Li Yuan's regime.

Now that Jinyang has missed, Li Shimin has gone to Shandong and is in a hurry to fight with Liu Wuzhou.

The crown prince Li Jiande led an army of more than 100,000 to stalemate with Xue Rengao, and Li Yuan's troops in Guanzhong were already very empty, which was also a good time for the Jiangnan army to destroy Li Tang's regime in one fell swoop. ”

Nima, this still has to talk about politics.

Who knows if there is a word for politics at this time, but everyone understands the meaning, after all, Li Tang has taken over a complete political structure, and at the same time, he has received strong support from the gate valve in Guanzhong, and Li Yuan's political foundation is indeed very solid.

When Xu Shiji heard this, his heart suddenly changed, and he clasped his fists and said: "It's still a great general's wisdom, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate for us to only consider it militarily." ”

"Well, Mao Gongjian marched into Hebei, and there was nothing wrong with being a military general. As for letting Zhang Yu attack Hebei from the east, he couldn't do that. At present, the army led by Zhang Yu can only deal with foreign peoples, and cannot participate in civil wars. The specific reason is because of the nature of this army. ”

Everyone who said this is cloudy, mountain and fog, I don't understand.

If it's an army, why can't it just add a civil war?

Qin Qiong was puzzled in his heart, so he asked: "Since it is the army led by General Zhang, why can't it just join the civil war, is there a special reason?" ”

"Hehe, there is indeed a reason, because this army is an auxiliary army, that is, the prisoners captured by our army from the peninsula area, to be precise, some foreigners, the purpose is to reduce the casualties of our army and let them charge for us."

In fact, there are really no such scruples in the hearts of the people of this era, as long as it is the army in hand, it doesn't matter what its composition is.

However, Lu Chang, who came from later generations, did not agree with their ideas, the civil war was originally a war between people of the same clan, and colluding with foreigners to deal with their own nation was unjustifiable no matter what.

Auxiliaries? Qin Qiong and the generals were a little puzzled in their hearts, what kind of army is this?

"What kind of army is the auxiliary army that the general is talking about, and how is it different from a normal army?"

"Hehe, the auxiliary army is the auxiliary army, and at present, it is only an army composed of Baekje and Silla prisoners, and the weapons used are bamboo poles that are abundant in Gangnam, well, in the end, they are cannon fodder.

In the future, when our army fought against foreign tribes, they were generally responsible for charging into battle and participating in hand-to-hand combat.

And our army is only pressing the formation in the rear, responsible for suppressing the enemy with bows and arrows, and carrying out long-range strikes.

At present, the number of this auxiliary army has reached more than 300,000.

As the war continues to develop, the number of auxiliary armies will continue to grow and develop, and if this auxiliary army grows to 500,000 or even a million, then the day when we will sweep the northern steppes is not far off. ”

General Lu Chang's words made everyone stunned, is this okay? Moreover, the weapon in his hand is just a bamboo pole, which is a bit funny!

However, it is indeed a good way to have these people charge in front and act as cannon fodder, which can greatly reduce the casualties of your own army.

300,000 troops, and it will grow to 500,000 or even 1 million in the future, what a military force this is. I have to say that the general really has some whimsy.

"General Zhang Yu in the east will strive to take the entire Liaodong in the first half of next year, and then continue to advance northward, and strive to reach the Daxinganling area in the second half of the year.

In this way, General Zhang Yu will pose the most direct threat to the western grasslands and the Hebei region.

In the western battlefield, our army will use 400,000 troops to go out of Tongguan, sweep through Guanzhong, and finally reach Chang'an and besiege Chang'an City.

The siege of 100,000 troops is enough, and the rest of the army, in addition to sweeping the surrounding small cities, the main task is to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

Our army came out of Tongguan, the momentum was huge, Li Yuan was worried that he was besieged in Chang'an, and in panic, he would send someone to let the crown prince Li Jiancheng, or the king of Qin, Li Shimin, rescue Chang'an.

Whether it is Li Shimin, the king of Qin, or Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, as long as they withdraw their troops to rescue Chang'an, it is a good time for our army to ambush.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng confronted Xue Rengao in the west, and if Li Jiancheng returned to rescue Chang'an, Xue Rengao would lead his troops to drive straight in and pursue Li Jiancheng.

At this time, General Pei Renji led 100,000 troops out of Qishan, cut off Xue Rengao's way back, and after our army successfully ambushed Li Jiancheng, he flanked Xue Rengao's army on both sides.

After this battle, there was no strong enemy in Guanzhong, and if it went along with it, the first strategic intention of our army would have been achieved. ”

The general Lu Chang gushed endlessly, expressing his strategic intentions in one breath. The audience will be fascinated by the hearing and full of praise.

Xu Shiji stood up even more excitedly and said: "The general besieged the city without fighting, but intended to ambush the enemy's reinforcements, this plan is very clever, and his subordinates admire it." ”

The generals also came out one after another, praising Lu Chang's strategy and tactics.

"The general is wise, and his subordinates admire him so much."

Lu Chang didn't need them to sing praises, and waved his hand to everyone, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"In the remaining months, we will prepare for this war and strive for a complete victory. The congregation will listen to orders. ”

"No, my subordinates are here."

"In this battle, Qin Qiong was the vanguard, leading an army of 100,000 soldiers out of Tongguan and sweeping westward until it surrounded Chang'an City."

"No, my subordinates will live up to the trust of the general."

"The war between Xue Rengao and Li Jiancheng is still in a stalemate, and Pei Renji in Shuzhong should pay close attention to the shallow water area.

Once Li Jiancheng returned to the army to rescue Chang'an, Xue Rengao would return to lead his troops in pursuit. General Pei could choose an opportunity to cut off the enemy's rear route and press eastward.

This way the army is focused on grasping the opportunity, if Xue Rengao catches up with Li Jiancheng's army, there is no need to rush to alarm them, I want them to fight for a while.

Of course, if Xue Rengao did not catch up with Li Jiancheng, then he would have to wait for our army to ambush Li Jiancheng before General Pei could launch this way. ”

Pei Renji stepped out of the crowd and clenched his fists to receive the order: "Nuo, my subordinates will pay close attention to Xue Rengao and the other battle situation, and strive to attack at the best time." ”

General Lu Chang nodded, and after Pei Renji retreated, he continued: "These two roads have been arranged, if General Qin's battle is smooth along the way, then General Ben will personally lead 300,000 troops into Guanzhong."

There is a time difference in this, that is, to let Guanzhong Li Yuan know first that Qin Qiong has led 100,000 troops to Chang'an, so that Li Yuan can send people out to ask for help in time.

Since our army wants to adopt the combat strategy of encircling Chang'an, and then ambush Li Tang's reinforcements, we cannot let the other party know that our army has mobilized 400,000 troops. Well, you can't scare the crown prince Li Jiancheng, or even the king of Qin, Li Shimin, hehe. ”

With Lu Chang's laughter, the generals in the hall also laughed heartily. Yes, if it is really a posture of 400,000 troops, Chang'an will not even need to save it, maybe Li Jiancheng will choose to go to Shanxi to find Li Shimin.

As for the general's operational arrangements, everyone has no doubt.

In addition, General Wu Yunzhao led 100,000 troops to live west of Luoyang and monitor Shanxi. General Xu Shiji led 100,000 troops, focusing on guarding against Dou Jiande in Hebei. Of course, General Xu can pay more attention to Hebei, and the next Hebei campaign will be taken by General Xu. ”

"No, the subordinates must be on guard so that the general can seize Guanzhong in a good way."

The deployment for next year's war has been issued, and the rest must be prepared in a hurry.

The movement of a large army is not a trivial matter, and the mobilization of the army, the preparation of grain and grass, and the transfer of transportation are not something that can be completed with a single word.

Each item needs to be in charge of a special person, and the time arrangement must be made, and the Jiangnan Army will start to be busy for a while. (To be continued.) )
