I don't know how many crazy fans the art troupe has gained after a night of singing and dancing, the sky by the sea is always brighter early, and the military horn for today's morning exercise was postponed for an hour, which was adjusted by Yanglin when the girls of the art troupe were too tired to perform last night, and it was the most suitable for him to practice qigong in the morning.

Qigong is a thing that does not advance or retreat, and the effect is obvious, before Yanglin has reached the realm of penetration, he does not want to stop cultivating, at his current speed, it takes almost an hour to run every week, even if he gets up very early, after three weeks of practice, Yanglin is still a little late, and the ministers on the emperor have already used a meal of shrimp and crab porridge early Yanglin arrived on an empty stomach.

"Father, let's start now!" Yang Lin ignored the ministers who looked at him with blaming eyes, and went straight to the point.

"Well, let's discuss the matter of entering Liuzhou, Yizhou, Feng Qing has just introduced to me the situation of the waterways near Lingnan and Yizhou, Lingnan has the Pearl River and Jiujiang River to go inland, of which the Pearl River can lead to the vicinity of Yizhou, and there are many waterways near Yizhou and Liuzhou, Liujiang, Yijiang, and Xijiang can all be connected to Zhuhai and the sea, as long as we open up some difficult road sections, we can march in multiple ways, establish a base camp in Yizhou City and Liuzhou City, and then start to advance to the territory of the Miao people, If the princes have any specific plans to advance their troops, they can be mentioned after I deploy the overall strategy. Of course, Li Er's last sentence was mainly for Feng Ang and Yang Lin, and only they were most familiar with the environment here.

"Come on, bring up the map and the sand table." Yang Lin shouted at the bottom of the boat, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers ran towards the tent of the Zhennan Army, in fact, where is the best place to carry out military discussions, but Li Er's imperial drive is now on the Emperor, in order to show respect for him, the supreme military meeting will naturally be launched in front of his imperial car.

The ministers were curious to see a group of soldiers putting together a dozen large squares of about one meter. Dafangli pinched a lot of large and small mountain bags with mud and sand, and only poured a bucket of water into the groove under the mountain bag, and a huge physical map of mountains and rivers appeared in front of everyone.

"Father, this thing is called the real sand table, and there may be some differences with reality, but looking at the map, the problem should not be big, it is the people under the son of the minister Tong Guò Feng Gong in the past few months have been verified in the field, everyone see, Liujiang originated in Guizhou. The Xijiang River originated in Nanzhao, the tributaries of these two waterways are almost all over southern Xinjiang, and converge into the Pearl River in Lingnan.

The army that took the Liujiang waterway had to deal with Liumiao and then go up the river. Converge with Zhang Liang's tribe, which attacked Tianmiao in Guizhou from the Xiangjiang River, and blocked the connection between the Nanzhao tribes and the four Miao tribes.

Those who take the Xijiang waterway are to solve the Anmiao, and take the waterway all the way to clean up and subdue all the tribes along the coast. Finally, they arrived in the sphere of influence of the Nanzhao tribes and began to purge them.

Those who took the sea route first wanted to exterminate the Seven Kings of Jiaozhi, and then took the Mekong River into the Lancang River and entered Nanzhao. This is the main army of the three routes, in which after Zhang Liang's troops land in Guizhou, the ships will return to Shuzhong. Carrying the soldiers of Shuzhong Prefecture to the Jinsha River into Nanzhao, this way can only be used for follow-up auxiliary reinforcement, and the combat power is very limited. On the map and the sand table, you can clearly see the route of several large armies, and how to fight is still up to your majesty to decide. ”

Yang Lin pointed to the small stream of water on the sand table and explained, Li Er and many ministers of civil and military affairs had already circled around this wonderful thing several times.

"Well, the total strength of our three-way army in this operation is nearly 200,000, including more than 100,000 soldiers, it is the largest battle after the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is a foreign campaign.

A total of 25,000 people from the Lingnan Navy took the sea route, pacified the seven kings of Jiaozhi, collected all their land, and then took the Mekong River into the Lancang River into Nanzhao, and commanded the large and small battles along the way, acting cheaply, I am afraid that there will be no follow-up supplies, this is the first route army.

I personally led the forbidden army to levy 30,000 southern troops, and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers went to Xijiang into Yizhou to solve Anmiao, which was the second route army.

Feng Qing led 30,000 troops in the south of the town, and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers went to Liujiang into Liuzhou, not in a hurry to start a war with Liu Miao, and often kept in touch with the second marching army, and then launched the battle on An Miao's side with results, which was the third route army.

Zhang Liangbu is the Fourth Route Army, and he has already marched to Guizhou according to the plan, but he has no waterway to go, and he may arrive at his destination later by land, so he will only move depending on the situation after the results of the battle between the Second Route Army and the Third Route Army.

In addition to the first route army acting alone for the war, the victory or defeat of the second route army is related to the marching policy of the third and fourth route armies behind, if my second route army can quickly and decisively eradicate An Miao, then the resistance suffered by the third and fourth route armies will be very small, the overall strategy is to subdue the small tribes, if the various armies really want to start a fierce battle, then they must first lock on the target, and the most powerful tribes will be defeated. ”

Li Er's whole personality changed when he was a military commander, and that high-spirited posture seemed to be a great victory waiting for him to finish, which gave the ministers a lot of confidence.

"Your Majesty, Erchen is also here to discuss, the four battalions of the art troupe are scattered into the 123rd Route Army, they have disease prevention and epidemic prevention knowledge, and they have also gone deep into the territory of the Miao people, and have learned simple medical aid, which can be of great help to the army, leaving a battalion in the general logistics base of Xiachuan Island to be responsible for the care of seriously ill patients, and all the seriously injured or sick soldiers of the Third Route Army who have lost their combat effectiveness will be transferred to Xiachuan Island for recuperation and treatment by the supply fleet, which can reduce the burden on the main attacking troops." Yang Lin added after Li Er had deployed the strategy.

"Well, this is a very good discussion, the battalion of the battalion commander of Xiliang will follow my Second Route Army, and the battalion of the battalion commander Ling Yuhan will follow the Third Route Army, as for your first route army, it is the heaviest road in terms of marching distance and capture task, you can choose the person who is most suitable for the voyage from the remaining two battalions!" As soon as Li Eryi heard Yang Lin's words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately assigned Xiliang to his second route army, not caring about the strange eyes of the ministers, but Yang Lin was the most calm, which was something he expected.

The Lingnan and Huainan naval armies have the strongest professional skills on the water, and it is understandable to take the sea route to go on an expedition, just from the Meigong River to the end of the Lancang River, there are 4,500 kilometers of waterway to go, and the next few months, or even a year or two, Yanglin will probably have to spend time on the boat.

The firearms and gunpowder of the forbidden army are the most adequate, and they are responsible for the task of attacking the fortified fortifications, An's premeditated rebels, Li Er will personally take him down, the third route army Zhennan Army is the weakest in equipment and weapons, but they are southern soldiers, and there will be no unsuitable situation in the south, and the body and combat effectiveness are the strongest, Li Er will of course also deploy some gunpowder firearms to them, their role is mainly to deter and oppress, once Li Er slaughters An's, Liu is very likely to be a vassal to the imperial court, At that time, the four major Miao tribes will be eliminated, except for the third, Zhang Liang and Tian, and I am afraid that they will also enter the rhythm of negotiating surrender.

Therefore, the first step of the battle plan is mainly to watch the performances of the First Route Army and the Second Route Army, and when the Fourth Route Army encircles the Southern Zhao Departments, it will become a parallel march.

Sorting equipment, ships, manpower, and other matters still need a few days to adjust, Yang Lin took advantage of the time to chat with Li Er about the Japanese people, he means that the Japanese people of the Fujiwara clan can be used, especially the young people who have very rich sailing experience, Yang Lin plans to take them to Jiaozhi.

"You say the Fujiwara clan can be an excuse for us to march into the Wa Kingdom in the future?" Li Er was still a little unsure, so he asked.

"That's right, the Tang Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Wa Kingdom, their last king was appointed by the Emperor Taishang, and now the Abe clan is unified by the Wa Kingdom, it is bound to be called the king and the emperor, at that time if they do not come to ask His Majesty Xià's holy decree to reward and stand on their own, then it is a rebellion from the suzerain, Your Majesty can be righteous and awe-inspiring to levy it, if they come to the personal decree to reward, Your Majesty can not agree, or reverse the title of Fujiwara Kitake as the king of the Wa Kingdom, the king was expelled by the rebel forces and fled to the suzerainty for refuge, His Majesty sent troops to conscript rebellion, which is also justified.

But before that, I have to let me squeeze out the navigation skills of the Japanese people, they can run rampant on the sea with only some small boats have their special skills, and now although my Datang ships are strong and sharp, but I have never been out of the sea thousands of miles away, let alone thousands of miles, so this trip to Jiaozhi, Erchen wants to take Fujiwara Kiwu and his clan young and strong, not only to let him see the strength of my Tang Dynasty naval army, so that he will not dare to rebel in the future, but also to thoroughly understand the Japanese from him, understand their navigation technology, Understand their habits so that you can find the easiest way to defeat them. Yang Lin replied with a faint smile.

Li Er didn't know why Yanglin concluded that the Wa country he had never been to had more silver than the entire Datang Dynasty, listening to Yanglin's tone, the Wa Kingdom was full of silver mountains, where silver was not worth more than copper money, you know, in Datang, a silver ingot of one or two weights is equivalent to consistent money, that is more than ten times the weight of copper, under the temptation of money, who can not be tempted! Besides, didn't Fujiwara Kitake say it? The Tang Dynasty Navy can destroy the Japanese State in a light move, and Li Er certainly has no reason not to take the silver money at his fingertips, but he still needs to go all out to the south at the moment, and he can't take care of it.
