"Youtu!"

Shen Luoyan turned around and waved his hand to the counselor officer on the side of the hall and ordered.

Several civilian staff members hurriedly turned out the photos about Henan from a large pile of maps and placed them in front of Luo Yi. These maps used to be used exclusively for the Great Sui military were drawn in great detail, especially in the eastern capital of Luoyang, there was even a special one. Among them, small places such as Luokoucang, Yanshi, Luohekou, Baihua Valley and so on are also very clearly marked on the map.

"You see, now Chen Kefu has entered Luoyang, and his Hebei army has swept away all the six counties east of Luoyang along Jindi Pass, Tiger Prison, and Luokoucang. However, in the west and south of Luoyang, although Chen Kefu defeated Li Mi, he did not immediately send troops and horses to occupy it. Now this land of several counties of Li Mi belongs to the land of three regardless of the three. Why? ”

"Why?"

"Because the Hebei army is not strong enough, judging from the decisive battle between Chen Kefu and Li Mi, we can only draw 100,000 soldiers and horses, we can know that the Hebei army has indeed been short of troops. And after Chen Kefu's victory, he only sent 20,000 soldiers and horses south, do you know why? ”

"Why?" Many generals in the hall were completely led away by Shen Luoyan.

Shen Luoyan smiled slightly, stretched out his onion-white jade finger and pointed at the map, and the jade-white index finger like an onion was gently touched in Yanshi and Kim Yong Cheng like a new swallow pecking mud.

"Dongdu Jun and Wang Xuanying?" Fu Gong Qi said suspiciously.

"That's right."

"But they have already surrendered to Chen Kefu, so what is the problem now?"

"No, it's a big problem now." Shen Luoyan is like a calm chess player, playing one wonderful move after another. She seemed to have seen the other party's distress and sorrow, and couldn't help but raise a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Looking at the many generals who were still in the clouds, she directly explained their confusion and said, "Wang Xuanying's Jianghuai army in the battle of Luokou, its combat power can be described as amazing, it is estimated that even Chen Pojun has been surprised by this army. To put it mildly, Li Mi was not so much defeated in the hands of Chen Kefu this time as in the hands of Wang Xuanying's Jianghuai army. It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that in the end, Wang Xuanying and his Jianghuai army will be roasted on the fire by Chen Kefu all the time, and finally fight with Li Mi to lose both sides and cheapen Chen Kefu. ”

"But what we have to see is that although Wang Xuanying now has only more than 30,000 remnants left, and the Eastern Capital Army has turned its back on the Wang family and switched to Chen Kefu. But the Wang family is in Hedong, but there are still five counties. Moreover, the most important Beibi Mountain and Kim Yong Castle in the east of Luoyang are still in the hands of the Wang family. Because of this, Wang Xuanying is still left in Luokou and is not allowed to return to Hedong. ”

"And the Eastern Capital Army did not return to Luoyang after the war, they also stayed on the battlefield." Fu Gongyi added.

"That's right." Shen Luoyan smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. "You should understand the subtleties now, right?"

Shen Faxing said coldly, "Do you want to say that Chen Kefu wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge, ready to kill Wang Xuanying and even the Eastern Capital Army?" ”

"That's it!" Shen Luoyan replied calmly.

"When our army is marching north, how can Chen Kefu join Wang Xuanying and the Eastern Capital at this time, this is unlikely." Shen Faxing shook his head, resolutely refusing to believe it.

"Then we'll make it possible!" Shen Luoyan said confidently. "Chen Kefu and Wang Xuanying originally just used each other, and their purpose was the same, that is, to get rid of Li Mi together. Although Li Mi is not dead now, his power has been wiped out. Therefore, when two common enemies are destroyed, the original allies also become enemies with direct interests. However, Wang Xuanying is obviously not as ruthless as Chen Kefu, Wang Xuanying has always kept one hand, wanting to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Unexpectedly, he was roasted on the fire by Chen Kefu all the time, and pushed into his calculated trap step by step. The first battle of the Central Plains not only wiped out Li Mi, but also consumed Wang Xuanying's Jianghuai army. ”…,

"In today's situation, Chen Kefu obviously still can't tolerate Wang Xuanying, but because our army is about to go north, Chen Kefu hasn't done it yet. But he never let Wang Xuanying return to Hedong, but continued to hold Wang Xuanying hostage. The situation of the Eastern Capital Army should be more concise, but if we speculate on Chen Kefu's methods of dealing with the Hebei Army after he first entered Hebei, we can easily predict that the relationship between them is not as sweet as it seems. ”

"What are we going to do?"

"We don't need to do anything, in fact, if we continue to go north, then Chen Kefu will definitely temporarily put aside his plan to deal with Wang Xuanying and the Eastern Capital Army, and unite against us first. But if we don't go north, then Chen Kefu, who is not threatened by us, will definitely take this opportunity to solve Wang Xuanying and the Eastern Capital Army together. Therefore, what we need to do is to wait, and when Chen Kefu makes a move on Wang Xuanying and the Eastern Capital Army, we will take advantage of the fire to rob and reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

"Just sit and wait? Could it be some wishful thinking, what if Chen Kefu is not as you expected? Then we will miss the best opportunity, once he completely controls Henan, we will never have such a good opportunity again. Shen Faxing said slowly.

Shen Luoyan didn't care much about his father's denial, in fact, their father and daughter had been like this for a long time. Under normal circumstances, as long as she puts forward an opinion, he will always deny it.

"We can't wait, my plan is to leave the Huainan army behind, let them go to Yingchuan City to deal with the 20,000 Hebei army, and take Li Mi's defeated army to retreat south. Then they can defend Yingchuan City and hold the upper reaches of Yingshui. And pay attention to the situation in Henan at any time, once there is really a situation as we expected, then the Huainan army will immediately go north and knock Chen Pojun from the south. ”

"What about us?" Hearing that only the Huainan Army should stay, Shen Faxing asked puzzledly.

"Let's go here!" Shen Luoyan lifted his jade finger and poked it lightly on the map. There, it is the southwest direction of Henan, the Jingxiang Jianghan area.

As her daughter said before, Yang Yun has now completely turned his face with his cousin Yang Hao. Yang Jun not only attacked all the troops of his original westward expedition into Hanzhong, but also ordered Xiao Mo and Xiao Yu to take most of the remaining soldiers and horses of Laochao Jiangling against the Yangtze River and attack Bazhong directly. At present, the Jianghan and Ruan Xiang areas are the most empty time. If we lead an army of 180,000 to the west at this time, attack Xiangyang from Henan, and then go down the Han River to take Jiangling. Then Yang Jin's last point of staying in the area of Bashui and Jiujiang on the Yangtze River to guard against our army going against the Yangtze River will be completely useless. We attacked Xiangyang through Henan, which was a situation that Yang Yong had never imagined before. Therefore, we can easily take the vast southern region of Jingxiang, Han, and Ruanxiang. ”

Seizing the Jianghan area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River has always been Shen Luoyan's expectation. It is different from Wang Zhizhi's ambition to fight for Huaisi and control Shandong, and it is also different from his father Shen Faxing's ambition to go straight out of Henan, expedition to the Central Plains in the north, and compete for Luoyang, the center of the world. Shen Luoyan's plan is calmer and more realistic.

Although as long as Huaisi is captured, its effect is similar to that of capturing Jingxiang. But Huaisi is the territory occupied by Chen Kefu, and if you want to seize Huaisi, it is a tiger's mouth and teeth, and the tiger is seeking skin. Shen Luoyan was not so arrogant, she didn't think Nan Chen had that opportunity.

In the same way, before capturing Huaisi or Jianghan, and before stabilizing the line of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, which is the foundation of the southern formation, they wanted to go straight to the Central Plains and seize the center of the world. Such an idea is even more unrealistic, without the geographical advantages of Huaisi and Jianghan, even if the Central Plains is captured, Nanchen will not be able to defend it at all. Countless historical books have recorded the terrible results of many Jiangnan regimes' northern expeditions. …,

Unlike their plan, Shen Luoyan's plan neither wanted to go toe-to-toe with Chen Kefu, nor did he want to take the Central Plains directly. The starting point of her plan is still centered on Jiangnan. Taking advantage of the golden opportunity to suppress the Jianghan area in one fell swoop, Nanchen will be able to have the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River defense line. Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Song, Qi, Liang and Chen have all relied on the Yangtze River to compete with the north. At the beginning, Nanchen perished precisely because the Sui Dynasty seized the geographical advantage of the middle and upper reaches of the Bashu Yangtze River occupied by the Western Liang.

In Shen Luoyan's opinion, with Nan Chen's current strength, it would be unwise and immeasurable to go north directly to compete with those northern heroes for the Central Plains. The only way out for Nan Chen is the south. Only by seizing the entire Yangtze River basin in hand, dividing the north and south according to the river, and rejecting each other by virtue of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, can Nanchen have a glimmer of life. Then, we can manage Jiangnan with our hearts and wait for changes in the north to take advantage of the Northern Expedition.

Shen Faxing and the generals all sat in the hall with serious expressions, quietly listening to Shen Luoyan's full set of plans.

Silence, eerily silence in the hall. Shen Luoyan had already finished speaking for a long time, but the generals were still immersed in the beautiful prospects of the plan she had described. Compared with the Central Plains, where the future is uncertain, the empty Jingxiang is indeed more attractive.

"Father, instead of thinking about the Central Plains Henan, which is not possible, why don't you be down-to-earth and take down Jingxiang in front of us and in our hands! What's more, if we don't go to Jingxiang or withdraw our troops, how can Chen Kefu's side immediately have the turnaround we are looking forward to? Father, this is a crucial move, as long as we take this step, not only the situation in the Central Plains will change again, but also the situation in the entire south, and even the whole world may be reshuffled. Father, now that this opportunity is in front of you, how to play this move is up to you! ”

Shen Faxing didn't speak, but his ten-finger knuckles, which were clenched on the hilt of the sword and turned blue and white, completely exposed the nervousness that he couldn't make a choice in his heart at this time.
