Inside the cabin, a breeze blew. The battleship continued to march on the Yellow River.

Li Chongjiu sat in the command center, holding in his hand the copywriting that Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, and Yu Shinan had worked hard for several months.

Before the Great Zhao attacked, the ministers of Zhao made a detailed analysis of Li Shimin's military strategy. Li Shimin is indeed the first-class master of military use in this era. Although this person's military strategy cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world, there are not many people who can match him.

Coupled with the help of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who had a plot to make a decision, as well as Sun Wuji, the first meritorious hero of Lingyan Pavilion in history, Li Shimin's staff group was also quite powerful. Therefore, how to deal with Li Shimin with the use of troops this time has also become a category considered by Zhao Guo's staff. Relatively speaking, this time to attack the Tang Dynasty, since the strategic initiative is in the hands of Zhao State, and the shape shì occupies a great advantage. So in the temple calculation, this occupies the first hand.

It's like playing chess, Zhao Guo is now the first move, and Li Tang is the second move. However, this point is not very advantageous for the duel, when the Shu State was tired, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan seven times, crusaded against the Wei State, and also used offense instead of defense, and it was the competition of the national strength of the two countries that decided the outcome of the war. In Zhang Xuansu's previous analysis, the biggest advantage of Zhao Guo and Li Tang is still in terms of financial, manpower, and material resources, and the only thing Li Tang can compete with Zhao Guo is his military strength.

As for the various strategies for attacking, it can be said that they have all been exhausted by the top staff group around Li Chongjiu. The same should be true for Li Shimin's side.

No one has been able to say anything since ancient times, but for a large staff group, it is feasible. Zhao Jun's various offensive strategies. The Tang Army's various defenses were almost exhausted by Zhang Xuansu and them.

In fact. The chances to leave out are small.

In the end, Zhang Xuansu came up with this plan for Li Chongjiu, which belonged to the orthodox use of soldiers. The combat strategy of combining the right and the odd.

At this time, Zhang Xuansu walked up to Li Chongjiusheng and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the front that Wang Mahan has captured Gaoping County." That's good news! ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, took the good news, and Zhang Xuansu continued: "As we expected, the Tang army really did not have a defense in Gaoping County, only the township soldiers raised by the county itself, and they used bamboo bows and worn-out iron guns when fighting. With less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, they were defeated in a battle with the elite of our army. ”

Li Chongjiu put the good news aside and said: "Zhang Qing, you said that Li Shimin wants to shrink his troops, give up the periphery, fight a decisive battle with us on the inner line, and exchange space for time, right?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "There is this possibility, Li Shimin is good at guarding the wall, and then cutting off people's food and grass, he will give up the periphery." Probably to lure our army deeper. If our army deploys too many troops in the occupied counties, then the force of the forward attack will be insufficient, and if we do not invest troops in defense, then the grain routes in the rear will be in danger. ”

Li Chongjiu clasped his palms together and said, "That's right." Xue Rengao was defeated in the shallow water plain back then. We must learn from this. But now it is only the Gaoping County of the Tang Army, and it is not possible to judge lightly, and I believe that it will not take long to have an answer. After Wei Chigong's army left Taihang Mountain. Tell me again, as for other small things. You don't need to inform me, you just have to decide. ”

"No!" Zhang Xuansu retreated.

After Li Chongjiu finalized military affairs. He stood up, his staff in the room still busy. Although these officials from the Ministry of War and Zhongshu Province are not of high rank, they played a crucial role in this war.

Li Chongjiu saw that Li Ying was also sleeping next to the sand table. In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that Deng Ai, a famous general of the Wei State, every time he sees the high mountains and Daze, he points to the barracks and places of the barracks, and people laugh a lot.

It seems that his son and Deng Ai are both map controllers. Think about Li Chongjiu's own childhood, isn't it the same, just as some children like to play on horseback and fight, and some children, such as when they were children, like to pile up chess pieces, simulate the small soldiers of the two armies facing each other, and arrange the troops.

It is also the style of martial arts that flows in the body of a man, but the table is also different.

Look at its young, and know its aspirations. This statement is not false at all.

Li Chongjiu picked up the sleeping Li Ying and returned to the second deck to dine with his family.

After a night of silence, the battleship went upriver from the Yellow River. After a three-day journey, we arrived at the shore from Liyang to Heyang.

Li Chongjiu's main battleship arrived near Heyang City and slowly landed ashore, in order to cooperate with this attack, Su Dingfang, the general of Heyang, had already built a huge water dock in Heyang City. Su Dingfang, the defender of Heyang City, led his men and horses to lead the army to fight on the front line.

Therefore, the lieutenant in Heyang City, Kai Cao joined the army, and the secretary joined the army and came to the dock to greet him.

The Zhao warship slowly entered the port, and the turbulent torrent of the Yellow River in June constantly slapped the banks and the hull of the ship. However, Li Chongjiu's huge five-toothed ship did not move at all in the midst of the wind and waves. A long slogan sounded, and below was countless majestic echoes, hundreds of naked slender men on the shore pulled Li Chongjiu's five-toothed ship against the current to the shore and docked.

In the revetment, Li Chongjiu boarded the bow of the ship, on the north side is the Yellow River Xiongguan Heyang three cities, the center is the iron cable across the river of Heyang pontoon bridge, but see a river across the road, is Mengjin, and then south is the capital Luoyang. In the direction of Luoyang City, the heads of people floated, and the galloping tired war horses ignored the torrent of the Yellow River and came to the shore to drink water.

The south bank was crowded with Zhao soldiers and soldiers.

Now the army on the pontoon bridge is advancing in a steady stream, and this is the army from Luoyang. The men and horses of Daxingtai in the south province bypassed the defense line of Tongguan and Wuguan in the west, crossed the river from Heyang, and joined Li Chongjiu in the north.

Li Chongjiu pointed to the dense pontoon bridge in Heyang, and the army that was marching asked, "How many days have the men and horses of the Daxingtai in Henan Province arrived?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "In order to be afraid of alarming the Tang army stationed in Wuguan and Tongguan too early, we pretended to attack Wuguan and Tongguan before. After His Majesty's fleet arrived in Heyang, the army withdrew from the Wuguan and Tongguan fronts. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Ji Chuan said: "It is expected that within two days, the people and horses can be finished, a total of Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, Xue Wanche led the elite of the three government armies, and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers. Wang Bo was left on the south bank, and Meng Haigong was the second general to guard Luoyang. ”

On the other side, Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty is in our plan, if Li Shimin knows that our 100,000 troops stationed in Luoyang will be transferred to the north, he will definitely transfer men and horses stationed in Tongguan and Wuguan, so that the south of Chang'an will be empty." In this way, Song Jingang, Xiao Miao's Southern Route Legion will be more likely to succeed! ”

Li Chongjiu asked, "Who is the vanguard of the South Road Army?" ”

"Returning to His Majesty, it is the birthday of the Tiger Benlang General Wang Xiong!"

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu praised: "This person is a tiger general in the world, enough to shock the Tang Army in Hanzhong!" (To be continued......)
