Chapter 589: Planning
Yang Mingyue said: "It is precisely because of this that the prime minister dispatched so many troops, otherwise Cai Wenzhuo's million rabble, the prime minister's 100,000 elite soldiers can break him!" ”
100,000 to 1 million!
I have to say that Yang Mingyue is a little rampant now, and he dares to make such bold statements.
In this expedition, in addition to the 200,000 artillery soldiers, there are 200,000 cavalry, 500,000 elite infantry, and 100,000 stragglers, such as chariots, baggage soldiers, etc., totaling one million, which is already all the troops in the Eastern Capital.
"Go, call General Hengyu."
Suddenly, Yang Mingyue said to a soldier beside him.
The soldier answered, and ran away.
After a while, a very capable general ran over: "Meet the prime minister." ”
"Excuse me."
Yang Mingyue waved his hand, and then took a map from Yu Yuan's hand: "General Hengyu, this phase will give you 100,000 elites, you set off now, take a small fast boat to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and occupy the enemy's naval camp!" ”
"I don't know what the prime minister's intention is to do this?"
Yang Mingyue said: "The terrain of Beijun is very favorable to us, as long as the Yangtze River is controlled, Cai Wenzhuo's department can be divided into two, so that he can't take care of each other, we just need to break each other, first contribute to the northern capital, as long as Cai Wenzhuo is captured, this battle can be won!" ”
"Got it."
Heng Yu said: "The last general will go here, and he will definitely occupy the enemy camp!" ”
"Okay, let's go."
..........
In half a month, Cai Wenzhuo successively mobilized grain and grass from all over the country to transport the imperial capital, and at the same time, Wang Xu also began to dispatch troops to rescue Beijun.
Jia Hui and Wen Qing of the Military Aircraft Department also agreed that the northern capital cannot be lost now, especially the eastern capital, which is not weak. If he won the Northern Capital, his strength would increase greatly, and he would also be a threat to the Holy Dynasty, perhaps even more dangerous than Ling Feng.
Therefore. Defend North County at all costs!
Now the strength of the Holy Dynasty is also extremely majestic, Wang Xu is located in Guxi, Hexi, Qingyuan, Wujun, Bao'an, the imperial capital, Xueyu and other seven counties, has occupied most of the world, food, soldiers, etc. If he wanted to, he could recruit two million recruits at once, but Wang Xu wouldn't do that.
There is a limit to the endurance of a country in war, the Ming Kingdom, the Hu Kingdom, the Eastern Capital, and the God Capital, and the Four Kingdoms are all enduring in attrition, depending on who endures for a long time, if you blindly expand your troops, your combat ability will decline, and you will use more food. After a long time, all that awaits you is defeat!
Military Aircraft Division.
Wang Xu gathered all the generals and prepared to send troops to Beijun.
In the lobby, around a sand table, surrounded by more than a dozen generals, as well as Han Shushu, Jia Hui, Wen Qing and others, Wang Xu held a wooden bar in his hand, pointed to the sand table in the middle and said: "It is said that the Eastern Capital Army and the river upstream, it is expected that it will not be able to reach the Beijun region in less than half a month." You all talk about it, how will Yang Mingyue use his troops? ”
Sun Yu said: "The Yangtze River is a good breakthrough, the warships of the Eastern Capital have always been powerful, I guess they will definitely occupy the Beijun Water Army Camp first." After that, he landed and fought. ”
"What General Sun said is extremely true."
On the side, Han Shushu said: "The Yangtze River moat directly divides the land of Beijun into two, Yang Mingyue is a master of using soldiers, how can he miss this great opportunity." ”
One of the two is a veteran of the battlefield, and the other is Wang Xu's henchman and think tank, and they broke the mystery at once. Seeing the problem, all of a sudden, the other generals around also nodded, and everyone had the same idea, and there was no source.
Wang Xu held a wooden stick in his hand, pointed to the line of the Yangtze River and said, "Let's talk about it, how should our army march?" ”
Jia Hui said: "Your Majesty, the strength of Cai Wenzhuo's department is not weak, why not let him fight with the Eastern Capital Army first?" This can also greatly weaken the strength of the North Army soldiers. ”
What Jia Hui said was reasonable, but Wen Qing vetoed: "Cai Wenzhuo's strength should be far less powerful than the Eastern Capital, if we let it go, wait for the Eastern Capital Army to gain the upper hand, I'm afraid that we will also be a little troublesome, Weichen suggested that the Zhao Long Naval Army stationed in Hexi County can go down the river, raid the front of the enemy, and garrison the Yangtze River in advance, so that Yang Mingyue's hundreds of thousands of troops are reliable without shores." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Ye Xiong said on the side: "Yang Mingyue's vanguard army can reach the Yangtze River in Beijun in ten days at most, and we have to send the order to Hexi now, and then General Zhao will leave, and when we reach Beijun, it will be at least twenty days later." ”
Wen Qing said: "As long as Cai Wenzhuo's army can hold out for ten days, I think, he Cai Wenzhuo is not so weak, he can't even support it for ten days?" ”
Wang Xu didn't speak, and when he heard everyone discuss, he benefited a lot, he didn't think of these problems and strategies himself, at this time, after careful consideration, this is indeed the case, especially the strategy proposed by Wen Qing in the end, let Zhao Long attack Yang Mingyue Rush Front, this strategy is very good.
Wang Xu nodded: "Okay, immediately send an order to Zhao Long, lead the elite navy 100,000 to fight, and be sure to hold the Yangtze River defense line." ”
"No."
A Royal Guards departed.
Wang Xu continued to look at the sand table: "However, what Lord Jia said is also very reasonable, we and the Northern Capital are only nominally friendly troops, but in fact, they are the enemies in the future and are the big troubles, so it is also skillful to help people, neither let Cai Wenzhuo win too easily, nor let the Eastern Capital Army lose too early, it is best that both of them are defeated, if we can really do this, then our goal will be achieved." ”
Jia Hui stroked his beard: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the minister is exactly this idea, let them fight first, and then we will shoot when Cai Wenzhuo's block can't support us, and then Yang Mingyue will also fight for many days, and the battle with our army will definitely fall into the disadvantage, how can our army not be victorious?" ”
"Calligraphy and painting, what do you think?"
"Reconsideration."
Han Shushu arched his hand and agreed with Jia Hui's statement.
To get the consent of Han Shushu, there is no doubt that this strategy has been affirmed, everyone knows that Wang Xu trusts Han Shushu the most, as long as it is a strategy from Han Shushu's mouth, or a strategy that Han Shushu nods, Wang Xu will most likely obey.
At this time, Han Shuhua affirmed Jia Hui's strategy, and everyone looked at Wang Xu, and sure enough, Wang Xu nodded slightly and began to order.
"This expedition, with Sun Yu as the commander, Fukangan and Zheng Li as the deputy marshals, and the queen of the dog and egg palace, calligraphy and painting as the military division, the whole army of 500,000 will go on the expedition, and the day will set off, as for the specific use of troops, everything is subject to the orders of the military division."
"Did you hear it all?"
As soon as Wang Xu's words fell, there was a smashing sound in the lobby: "No! (To be continued.) )
