Xu Shiji smiled slightly, and unhurriedly unfolded a map of Jiangdong on the desk.

The map is opened, and more than 100 counties and more than 100 cities in Jiangdong are listed on it, and the mountains, rivers, and cities are clearly marked one by one. Xu Shiji picked up a red pencil that was a specialty of Liaodong and in front of the two of them, first drew a bright red cross on the icon of Jiujiang City on the drawing.

"Governor, please see, Jiujiang is already in our hands."

Then he picked up another blue pencil and made a circle on the four cities of Yuzhang, Linchuan, Luling, and Nankang south of the Jiujiang River.

"In these four cities, there are currently 5,000 miscellaneous Wu troops each."

Su Dingfang looked at Xu Shiji's movements in puzzlement, "General Xu, these are obvious things, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xu Shiji smiled mysteriously, and handed the pencil in his hand to Su Dingfang and said, "Please also ask General Su to mark the distribution of troops in Jiangdong that you have mastered." ”

Although he was puzzled, Su Dingfang still took the pencil and marked three places on the south bank of the blue Yangtze River on the map. They are the quarrying ferry in the west of Jiankang, Jiankang City, and the Jingkou Guazhou ferry in the east of Jiankang.

Hu Hai and other Su Dingfang finished marking, and then took the pencil and marked Chushan City, Dangtu City, and Tianmen Mountain near the west of the quarry, and marked the numbers of 10,000 quarrying stones, and 3,000 each of Chushan, Dangtu, and Tianmen Mountain. Subsequently, 30,000 was marked on the Jiankang City marker map, 15,000 on Guazhoudu, and two numbers of 3,000 were marked on Huangjiashan and Juli Mountain near Guazhoudu.

Su Dingfang looked at the map and said, "Right now, there are 22,000 Wu troops in the four counties of Yuzhang. On the south bank of the Yangtze River, there are 70,000 horses near Jiankang. Panyang, Xuancheng, Xin'an, Yongjia, Yuhang, Huiji, Dongyang, Wujun, Jian'an and other nine counties in Jiangdong were exhausted. Guarding the emptiness. But if it is temporarily crumpled and patchworked, it is estimated that 350,000 horses can still be put together. Although the 3,000 elites of our army can be used as ten in the face of the Wu army's miscellaneous cards, but now the Wu army's Jiangdong soldiers and horses have almost 100,000, not to mention that if they defend the city, our 3,000 men and horses will not be able to play a role at all. ”

"Soldiers, treacherous ways!" Xu Shiji smiled, "Although there are 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Jiangdong, Shen Faxin has just died, and the children of the Shen family are either dead or dead, and the generals of the DPRK and Central China have not died under Dong Chun." The rest are now all in Jianghan with Shen Luoyan. There are no generals in Jiangdong, and the miscellaneous soldiers are even more scattered. Although our army is only 3,000, when the governor followed His Majesty to make contributions in Liaodong, it was not the same that there were only 3,000 at the beginning. But in the end, wasn't the Goguryeo Kingdom destroyed? Today's nine counties in Hedong are not comparable to the Goguryeo people. ”

"If Gong Mao has any clever ideas, just say it, don't hang your appetite." Hu Hai said impatiently.

"Governor, please take a closer look." Xu Shiji pointed to the map, which had been marked with red and blue marks by all of them.

"See what?" Hu Hai had some words that he didn't understand.

On the contrary, Su Dingfang on the side had already seen some eyebrows, and there was a sudden color in his eyes.

Under the red and blue pencil marking, the situation in Jiangdong is indeed very clear. Although the Wu army still has 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers, as long as you look closely, you can find that when Shen Luoyan led his troops to aid Jianghan, although he knew that Beichen in Jiangbei on the opposite side did not have many troops, he still left a hand and set up seven camps in Jiankang, the capital city, and two important towns in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Like an iron cable blocking the river, it is blocked on the left and right of Jiankang City.

With the vast Yangtze River in front of the danger, and 100,000 soldiers and horses guarding the town, the Wu people really don't have to worry about the Chen army in Jiangbei coming to attack in a short time.

At the time of rescuing Jianghan, because the Chen army of Jiujiang took the initiative to abandon the five counties and retreated to Jiangbei, Shen Luoyan left 25,000 people to garrison after taking over Jiujiang, defending Lingnan in the south and Huainan in the north. In Shen Luoyan's opinion, her army is in Jiangxia, whether it is Lingnan or Huainan. She can be reinforced immediately. …,

In the north, 100,000 soldiers and horses were deployed on the front line of Jiankang to defend Huainan. In the west, there were 25,000 men and horses, and hundreds of thousands of horses in Jiangxia. With these two lines of defense, one in the north and one in the west, it is equivalent to protecting the nine counties of Jiangdong inside. Although the nine counties are basically defenseless. But there are two lines of defense outside, and Shen Luoyan and the others are obviously very confident that nothing will happen.

But now Su Dingfang suddenly understood what Xu Shiji meant. No one would have thought that they would suddenly shoot back and suddenly capture Jiujiang, let alone that Chen Dang would not even have time to take away the soldier talisman letter.

All this gave them a chance.

"Three thousand people is indeed not much, but when it is critical, it can reverse the general trend of the world. Dudu, if our matter is done this time, your martial arts will be even better. ”

Hu Hai's heart is really hot, the Northern War has started, after this war, I don't know how many generals and colonels who were once below him will accumulate merit and rise to high positions. As a veteran who was the first to follow the emperor to raise troops, others fought hotly and were promoted, but he sat in the south and watched the play, which is an unbearable thing for a martial artist.

"Tell me your plan." Hu Hai said in a deep voice.

Xu Shiji smiled in his heart, Hu Hai is really not a lord who is unwilling to be lonely.

"Governor, please see, this is what the last general thinks. Below the Jiujiang River, Chen Dang fled to Yuzhang, and Shen Luoyan's soldiers and horses could not arrive until at least half a day later. Now if we go east, we are faced with empty Panyang and Yicheng. With Chen Dang's seal letter in hand, we only need to use the captives and those Wu army armor in the warehouse, as long as we move quickly, we can defraud the two cities before they know the news of the loss of Jiujiang. ”

"When we come, our purpose can't be these empty cities. Our aim was to break into Jiankang, so the most crucial plan was that immediately after secretly taking Xuancheng, we could send a small force east to take the undefended Yuhang and Wu counties, and go around the back of the Jiankang and Guazhou ferries to attract the attention of the Jiankang defenders. ”

Hu Hai said in a deep voice: "Divide the troops? ”

"No, the sound is striking the west, and the tiger is away from the mountain." Xu Shiji raised his eyebrows.

"After capturing Xuancheng, we can pretend to send messengers to be Tu and quarry, report to them for rescue, and ask them to send troops to relieve the siege of Yuhang and Wujun. The soldiers are divided into two ways, one dark and one bright. The small troops sent to attack Yuhang and Wu County had to bluff their banners and make a big move to confuse and attract the attention of the quarry and Jiankang defenders. And Yicheng, which is south of the quarry, must be the main force, and it must march secretly, and it is best to defraud Yicheng of course, and no news can be leaked out. ”

Hu Hai heard what Xu Shiji meant, which was to mobilize the defenders of Quarry and Jiankang.

"Even if we can attract some of the defenders away, we still have too few men."

"The last general heard that General Chen Shan, the governor of Anhui Province who guarded Hefei, is an old friend of the governor, right? In addition, Chen Feng, the governor of Jiangsu, who guarded Jiangdu, also had a good relationship with the general, right? ”

"Do you want me to borrow troops from Jiangbei?" Hu Hai took a breath of cold air. Chen Shan and Chen Feng were also veterans of Liaodong back then, and they were also brothers and partners of the emperor who had known each other since childhood. Now that the troops and horses from all over the country have been transferred to the north, those who remain in the south are basically the places where the emperor's most trusted henchmen are seated. This time to fight Jiujiang, it was already his private action, and if the Huainan troops were mobilized again, it would be a bit big.

He and Chen Shan are both governors and belong to the same level, and in terms of trust in front of the emperor, he is definitely not as good as Chen Shan and Chen Feng. If he really wants to borrow it, they won't necessarily listen to him, after all, he is fighting privately.

"Dudu, as long as we can really mobilize the quarrying soldiers and horses to the south, I believe that as long as 20,000 elites, we can attack the Yangtze River and land in quarrying with the help of a naval detachment. And as long as the quarry can be captured, it is not impossible to capture Jiankang before Shen Luoyan returns to the army. The first contribution to breaking through Jiankang and rescuing the Emperor Taishang is the governor's. Xu Shiji persuaded. …,

Since he defected to the Chen Dynasty, Xu Shiji is naturally unwilling to be a useless person, if this plan can be realized, his future status in the Chen Dynasty will naturally be bright.

"Quarrying, Dangtu, Chu Mountain, Tianmen Mountain four large camps, 20,000 soldiers and horses. It's not easy to chew. At present, there are only about 50,000 soldiers and horses in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and nearly half of them are newly recruited township soldiers and militia groups. These horses are all the troops defending the Yangtze River defense line, in case of a loss in the south, how to deal with the counterattack of the Wu army? Now the imperial court is fighting against the Turks with all its might, at this time, if something goes wrong, but if I mobilize the whole body, if I disrupt His Majesty's arrangement, I will be unable to escape the blame by then. Hu Hai still had some hesitation in his heart.

Xu Shiji saw that Hu Hai was a little withdrawn, and he was unwilling, he felt that this plan had at least a fifty percent chance of winning. And he calculated before and after, even if he failed, he could withdraw to Jiangbei before Shen Luoyan's army returned to the division.

After a period of silence in the hall, Xu Shiji finally said: "The general actually doesn't need to be so worried, I think that in His Majesty's original arrangement, didn't General Lu Shishen of Xiangyang also take over the order to actively defend?" But now you see, General Lu Shishen did not hesitate in the face of the opportunity that Jiang Lingcheng appeared. The result? took Jiang Ling in one fell swoop, captured nearly 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers of the Shen family, and annihilated Dong Chun's 50,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and even occupied five counties at once. Now General Lu Shishen's prestige is not too loud, even compared to Wang Rengong and Marshal Xue Dingguo. Your Majesty is not unhappy about this. ”

Su Dingfang's chest rose and fell sharply, and he suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "After doing this vote, it goes without saying that it will be successful, even if it really fails, it's a big deal that people are dead, and I'm afraid that he will be a bird." Manly man, there are some opportunities that cannot be missed. ”

"Okay,!" After Hu Hai pondered for a moment, he finally slapped the table heavily and decided. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
