In Jicheng, there is a courtyard next to the government hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Outside the compound, however, there are heavily armed soldiers patrolling and guarding it day and night.

There is also a sign inserted at the door next to it, which reads "Military Restricted Zone". Anyone who tries to get close to the courtyard will be persuaded to leave, and if they do, they will be killed by the guards without mercy.

This is the location of the Military Division, which is the general headquarters of the Liaodong Army during the war.

Once the war starts, all roads near the military division will be under martial law, and no one is allowed to approach this place except for a special pass issued by the General's Office, otherwise they will be punished for espionage.

In the military division, there is a huge sand table, which covers all the geography and landforms of the Great Jin Dynasty, which was carefully made by Liaodong for several years. Nowadays, the Central Plains and Hebei areas of the sand table are full of small red and blue flags, representing the specific situation of the confrontation between the Liaodong Army and the Qihu Army.

There are a lot of busy military and clerical officers around, and they will change the markers at any time according to the changes in the situation to indicate the latest progress.

Now Wei Shuo is standing in front of the sand table with a surging mood, Liaodong has prepared the last battle against Hulu, nearly 500,000 Liaodong troops are quietly gathering in various places, and all kinds of materials needed for the war have long been hoarded on the front line.

Since this will be a battle that will determine the fate of the nation, most of the people in Liaodong are nervous about it. I am afraid that the war will be lost and the current good situation will be ruined. In fact, in the eyes of Wei Shuo, Gao Zhan, Pei Wei and others, although this battle is a bit dangerous, at least Liaodong has about a seventy percent chance of winning.

"My lord, this battle is divided into three major theaters, namely Hebei, Central Plains, and Huainan. Since the main force of Hulu is concentrated in Hebei, Liaodong will concentrate 300,000 troops on the Youji line, which will be personally commanded by Da Sima, and will supervise the generals Wei Xiong, Chen An, Duan Wenyang, Ji Tang, Yao Yizhong, Xie Ai, Jia Jian, Xue Tao and others, and strive to gather and annihilate the main force of Hulu on the land of Hebei. ”

"As for the Central Plains battlefield, it will be commanded by General Mao Bao, and its combat mission is to cut off the connection between the Yanyu garrison and Xiangguo as quickly as possible after the start of the war, so as to create an opportunity for the main force to gather and annihilate Hulu in Hebei."

"In addition, Mao Bao's ministry will also cooperate with Sun Wei, the governor of Qingzhou, to complete the occupation of Huainan."

After listening to Lu Chang's report, Wei Shuo bowed his head slightly and asked, "When will you attack?" ”

"The specific attack time is set for March 3, and the three major battlefields will be attacked at the same time."

"What about the Hu people? Is anything unusual happening? "Because he was facing Shile, Wei Shuo had to be cautious.

"Returning to the lord, at present, Qianhu is constantly mobilizing troops to Jizhou, along the northern counties such as Zhangwu, Gaoyang, Zhongshan, Changshan, etc., Qianhu has stationed a total of nearly 300,000 troops, and there are nearly 400,000 troops in the rear Xiangguo area. So far, Hu Lu does not seem to have discovered Liaodong's true intentions, but he has not lowered the security level, and it seems that we can only storm it. ”

"Well, that's to be expected."

Wei Shuo was not too disappointed that he failed to mobilize Hu Lu. After all, Shi Le is not stupid, even if the Liaodong army goes south to Jiangdong, he will still be worried about being attacked by Liaodong, and the best way is naturally to respond to all changes with the same.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the campaign, after the end of the military meeting, Mao Bao, Sun Wei, Wei Xiong and others will go to the front line of Sizhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou to sit in town, so that they can understand the dynamics of the front line in time and make corresponding responses.

For the Liaodong Army, this battle can only be won, not defeated!

After the start of the war, 300,000 Liaodong troops will cross the border of Youji and launch an attack on Hulu entrenched in the land of Hebei.

The main task of the garrisons of Siqing and Qingdao was to prevent Huainan and Central Plains Hulu from going north to support the Hebei battlefield, and to wait for an opportunity to recover Huainan and Central Plains. There were not many garrisons in Huainan, and it was foreseeable that they would not be able to resist the attack of the Liaodong Army at all.

Since February of the first year of Yongchang, the Liaodong Army has continuously deployed troops and generals to make final preparations for the war.

The clouds of the Northern War are getting thicker and thicker, and the Hu and Han sides have deployed a large number of troops on the border, and the war is about to break out.

On the Hu side, Zhao Wang Shile gathered an army of 700,000 in Hebei, preparing to fight the Liaodong army, which was about to go south.

In order to fight against Liaodong, Shi Le ordered Cheng Yao, Xu Guang, Ma Qiu and others to sit in Xiangguo, while he personally led Shi Hu, Zhixiong, Taobao, Kong Chang and other generals to snipe the Liaodong army south.

As for the Huainan line, it was fully entrusted to Kui'an to be responsible, although Kui'an was resourceful, but because there were not many soldiers in his hands, he could only defend in the face of the menacing enemy in Siqing and Qingzhou.

……

In recent days, Shi Le has not been in a good mood, originally thought that the Jiangdong chaos would delay the pace of southeast Liao, but the reality made Shi Le very hurt, because all kinds of signs show that the primary target of the Liaodong army is still Xiangguo.

Don't look at the recent very high-profile statements from top to bottom of Liaodong that they want to send troops to Jiangdong, but Shi Le smelled a strong conspiracy smell from it, so not only did he not relax his vigilance, but asked the guards everywhere to be more vigilant and beware of Liaodong's secret Chen Cang.

Although many Qianhu couldn't figure it out and thought that Shi Le was too nervous, Zhang Bin, Cheng Yao, Xu Guang and other henchmen understood Shi Le very well. Look at the disappearance of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom and the uprooted Xianbei people, these are all bloody examples. In the face of the powerful Liaodong Army, who dares to pat their chests and say that they can defeat the other party.

"The more fanfare the Liaodong Army has, the more it shows that there is fraud in it. If the prediction is good, the Liaodong Army must be playing a trick to hide the sky and cross the sea. As long as we have a little relaxation, the Liaodong Army will pounce on it like a tiger, and with the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, if the other side seizes the opportunity, it will be difficult for us to turn the tables. ”

"Ji Wu, do you mean to say that the Liaodong Army is shouting that it wants to go south to Jiangdong, but in fact, the real purpose is us?"

Xu Guang looked directly at Shi Le, and said in a sincere tone: "My lord, in fact, I am not sure, it is said that Jiangdong has lost its role in diversion, and my Xiangguo can concentrate all the front-line troops of Huainan in the Central Plains and Hebei. In this case, Liaodong will have some scruples. ”

"But Da Sima Weishuo is not an ordinary person, I heard that he vowed to destroy all Hu Lu in his early years, I think he will definitely destroy Xiangguo at all costs, and he doesn't care about the size of the loss at all."

Hearing this, Shi Le didn't make a sound, and basically agreed with Xu Guang's judgment. He really knows Wei Shuo too well, and knows that the other party has hated Hu Lu to the core, thinking about the millions of Xianbei and Huns before, where can he still see traces now? Every time he thought of the fate of defeat in the future, Shile shuddered.

"My lord, in that case, we might as well give up Huainan directly and withdraw our troops to Jizhou as soon as possible." Cheng Yao took the opportunity to suggest.

"No, it's not a good idea! In this way, our army not only has little strategic room for maneuver and will be completely surrounded by Liaodong in Jizhou, but also makes the garrison of Qingzhou in Liaodong less contained. ”

Cheng Yao's suggestion was fiercely opposed by Guo Yin, Xu Guang and others, and even Shi Le's face became very ugly. Cheng Yao's move seems to be concentrating troops, but in fact, it is tantamount to giving up the initiative.

"What does Meng Sun think about this?" Shi Le looked at Zhang Bin, who was a little more silent than before, and asked.

"Alas, please prepare for a big battle, in the opinion of the minister, the Liaodong Army will definitely go south in the spring." Zhang Bin cut the railway.

Shi Le's face sank when he heard this, he looked at the map blankly, and after a long time, he asked Zhang Bindao: "Mengsun, where do you think the Liaodong Army's attack direction will be?" ”

Zhang Bin pondered for a moment and replied: "It's hard to say, any of the states of Bingzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou will become the direction of attack of the Liaodong Army, and it is not impossible to attack from the four states at the same time." ”

"However, in general, Jizhou is the most likely, after all, the main force of the Liaodong Army is almost concentrated in Youzhou."

"Pass on my general order, from now on, Xiangguo will be fully in a state of combat readiness, and Cheng Yao is responsible for staying in Xiangguo. A certain general personally led the main force to a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army, and Meng Sun and Ji Wu accompanied me to counsel the military aircraft. ”

"No!" Everyone in Xiangguo should be in unison.

Seeing that Shi Le was going to take him on the expedition, Zhang Bin was a little disappointed, in fact, he very much wanted to stay in Xiangguo. But he also knew it was unlikely. The big war was imminent, and Schler definitely needed him to be by his side, how could he leave it behind. It's just that in this way, it is a little difficult to complete the trust of Liaodong.
