Chapter 1246 Zhao Yun opened the road Yuan Zhijin

PS: Thank you for your valuable monthly pass!

"Zilong, it's been a hard 1

Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun with a smile, reached out and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, but it hurt a little to pat his hand on the armor, and Zhao Yun grinned.

"Master Strategist, is there a new arrangement for calling me back?"

Guo Jia rubbed his hands and said with a smile:

"Well, now that Changmen City has been captured by me, the Battle of Xiaguan will become the Battle of Nagato, the terrain of Nagato is cramped, the cavalry cannot be used, and the Japanese army is massing in the direction of Nagato and Xiaguan on a large scale, so this is the time for us to open up another battlefield."

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he looked at the map excitedly, Guo Jia smiled and stretched out his hand and pointed to the map: "Here, Shangyue, the north bank of the central Kanto, here is surrounded by mountains, your task is to attack the cities along the north bank, and the fleets of Sun Ming and Jiang Qin will be responsible for supplying and cooperating with you." In addition, you open a gap and let Yuanzhi's troops enter the mountainous area, and you and Yuanzhi will be in charge of the war zone over there, with you as the main leader. ”

"Master Commander, why isn't it from Shikoku's side?" Zhao Yun asked a little strangely.

"Hehe, where is our general in such a big place as Shikoku, Chen Zhen will be in charge over there, and then he can slowly take down Shikoku with Yiren skirmishers, whether it is for us or for the Japanese people, Shikoku is not important strategically now."

"I see, what about our goal of heading north?"

"If you don't have a goal, if you can hit Nagoya and Kyoto, it's up to you, but I don't recommend it. It is best to go along the coast, and the Japanese army will be at a loss, if they can capture the fortified city. Then I'll send Yu She. ”

"Understood, try to open up a second battlefield1

"Well, as much as possible, but not reluctantly1

"Don't worry, the last general understands1

"Very good, set off after a day of repairs, and Sun Ming's fleet will send you over."

"No1

"Zilong. Why choose Joetsu? I think it's more appropriate to take down the Itoiyu River, which is surrounded by mountains to the south, so it's suitable for us to cut off. The Japanese army could only take the coast on the east and west sides, and the defense was quite advantageous1

"Hehe, what are you defending, we are here to attack1 Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"Attack!? The military advisor didn't say that if he could take the city, he would send Yu Shi over and so on. I get it. Dynamic defense, right? ”

"That's right, isn't cavalry suitable for dynamic defense, and besides, we opened up the second battlefield to reduce the pressure in the direction of Shimonoseki and Nagato, and secondly, to prepare for the third battlefield, so destroying the enemy's living forces is also a key point. If we choose the Itoigawa River, the enemy forces are blocked on both sides, and the battlefield is a little rigid. ”

"Hmm. Indeed, it seems that the military division is still powerful1

"Yuanzhi. Isn't this nonsense, if you are powerful, you should be the military advisor to do it1

"Hehe1

"The plan is this, I'll land first, and then launch a siege on Joetsu, you don't have to worry about me, go directly south into the mountains, the first goal is to attack Myoko, and then I'll act with you, I will contact you at any time, my activity area will be concentrated in the east, repeatedly interspersed in this urban agglomeration, looking for the right time to take Joetsu or other cities."

"Understood, I'll do your bidding."

February 19, Jiujiang, Sun Ce's headquarters.

There is a huge map of Yingzhou hanging in the headquarters, no matter how unwilling or apprehensive the generals below are, the conquest of Yingzhou is already an irreversible fact, looking at this map every day, the military generals slowly accept this place where they are about to fight.

"According to the battle report sent by Youzhou in the past few days, Mr. Zigang and I have sorted out the current situation map of the two sides. Everyone, please see, now on the main island of Yingzhou, there are two battlefields formed, and in addition, the battle in the Shikoku area is a low-intensity and large-scale skirmisher war, and this part can only be regarded as a certain containment battlefield, or simply a recreation that Guo Jia is looking for for those strangers who have nothing to do."

"Huh"

Sun Ce also pursed his lips and smiled, nodding his head and motioning for Zhou Yu to continue.

"On the main battlefield, the battlefield in the area of Nagato and Shimonoseki was launched on February 2, and after the naval army transported troops to land in a surprise attack, and after gaining a firm foothold, they captured Nagato Castle in one fell swoop, and the Japanese army was forced to withdraw troops from various cities in the Kansai area, and cooperated with the main battle troops of Shimonoseki to move northward, with Nagato as the center, and launched a battle for position. A large number of forts originally arranged by the Japanese army along the coast of Shimonoseki have now become decorations, and the Japanese army is forced to start a decisive battle in a position that is not the main field. From this point of view, Guo Jia's strategic intentions have been successful. ”

The generals below whispered a few words, Zhou Yu paused and continued: "Then, when the Japanese army began to carry out a large-scale strategic movement, Guo Jia suddenly made a big leap forward, and put two highly mobile and high-attack troops in the Shangyue region further north, and forced the Japanese to take the initiative to give up Shangyue three days ago, Yu She's troops arrived in Shangyue today, and began to build defenses around Shangyue, build ports, and then there will be a large number of Inhuman troops to support, and the second battlefield was successfully opened. The reaction of the Japanese army was very strange, and they were actually massing troops in the direction of Nagoya to make up for the gap in the transfer of troops to the west, while the troops further north were trying to move to the west bank. ”

"Gong Jin is saying that the movement of the Japanese army is quite passive, and the speed is slow?"

"Not only that, but it's also strange in terms of choice, why can't the troops concentrated in the direction of Nagoya go north first, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Youzhou army to attack Shangyue, but instead use farther troops to besiege Shangyue, but let the nearby troops not use, isn't this strange?"

This situation is indeed a bit strange, not only Zhou Yu feels strange, but Zhang Hong also feels strange, now let's talk about it. Everyone thinks it's weird!

"Could it be that there is some conspiracy that cannot be achieved?"

"It's hard to say1

Zhou Yu was also silent, and he didn't think clearly about the joints, so he looked at it anyway. It's like the Japanese are deliberately catering to Guo Jia's strategic intentions, is it true that the Japanese are deliberately releasing water? Could it be that the entire Yingzhou War is simply a drama? That's ridiculous, isn't it?

Seeing that the generals were at a loss, Sun Ce was also puzzled, and said, "Do Mr. Gongjin and Mr. Zigang have a reasonable explanation?" ”

"The subordinates are incompetent, and they don't know why for the time being1

"Then you can ask Jiang Xian about this matter."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, come on." Go and invite General Chiang Xian. ”

Jiang Xian is Fang Zhiwen's guard general, and this time he was sent to Sun Ce's side as a liaison officer, which means that he will be released. However, when he came to Sun Ce, he was not very comfortable, he was guarded by others as thieves all day long, and he was often ridiculed and ridiculed by Sun Ce's generals, but it was just his duty. It is also the trust of the lord. Jiang Xian had no choice but to endure it.

This time, Zhou Yu hurriedly summoned himself Jiang Xian was also full of displeasure, really who he was, did he come and go when he was called!

Jiang Xian, who was not in a good mood, didn't know what was going on until he arrived in the conference room, of course he knew what the Japanese were doing, but did he have the obligation to say it?

After listening to Zhou Yu's question, Jiang Xian pretended to frown and thought for a while, and said puzzledly: "This last general is not clear, maybe there is some conspiracy." The governor can write directly to ask Guo Junshi, anyway, Zhou Dudu will accept the unified command of Guo Junshi in the near future. Hehe. ”

Zhou Yu was speechless, this Jiang Xian obviously had something to say!

Zhang Hong glanced at Jiang Xian, it seems that Jiang Xian does not get along well with the generals in the army and even Zhou Yu, so it is very likely that he will hide it clumsily, deliberately conceal the things that should have been taught to Zhou Yu, and leave a little bit of the information that should have been said, or deliberately slow down, which is very fatal in military affairs.

Zhang Hong shook his head secretly, it seems that Zhang Zhao said that Zhou Yu is too arrogant, and he can avoid a lot of trouble by lowering his head slightly, but Zhou Yu is unwilling to bow his head, so in the future, he will need to re-learn the experience that others already know, but unfortunately, the current chief of the army will be the governor Zhou Yu, not Zhang Hong, the military commander.

Zhou Yu waved his hand, Jiang Xian smiled and left, and Sun Ce was silent thoughtfully for a while.

"In this case, this matter will be like this for the time being, and I will personally write to ask Fang Zhiwen, Gongjin, you will continue."

"No! Ladies and gentlemen, Zhao Yun and Li Yuanzhi's troops now occupy Shangyue and form an effective control range around Shangyue, and Li Yuanzhi's troops are even deeper into the mountainous areas, and there is no peace within two or three hundred miles of the surrounding area, which has effectively restrained the counterattack of the Japanese army, and at the speed of the Youzhou army, it will take about two to three days to establish an effective beachhead in Shangyue, and in about seven days, it will begin to expand outward, control the key points around it, and form a new large-scale campaign. The formation of the battle in the Shangyue region will create an opportunity for our army to participate in the war. Next, it's about the steps of our army's actions! Please note. ”

Zhou Yu stopped, glanced at the generals present solemnly, and said slowly and clearly: "The target of our army is here, the northern part of the East China Sea, the Sendai area on the east coast of Yingzhou Island, after landing, our army can choose the direction of attack on its own, to the south, to the northeast, to the northwest, all the areas captured and mastered by our army will belong to our jurisdiction, and the population is also the same." According to this strategy, the first batch of 200,000 troops of our army to land consisted of General Han Dang, General Ling Cao, and my headquarters, excluding the naval army. Cross-sea and logistical supplies are all provided by friendly allies, the Youzhou Army and the Heaven and Earth Society. ”

"Lord, why don't you let me participate in the battle 1 Cheng Pu stood up dissatisfied, glared at Zhou Yu and asked the lord.

"Demou, there is a reason for this, because the logistics of our army are in the hands of Fang Zhiwen and Tianxiahui, therefore, the troops of the first wave of landings must have strong self-sustaining ability, and try to use troops with small supply needs, and the three troops selected by Gongjin are mainly formed by the naturalization of Shanyue people, with strong combat power, ability to endure hardships, and the most important thing is strong self-sustaining ability, so Demou can be understood? In fact, when Gongjin has a firm foothold, everyone here will go into battle to kill the enemy, and when the time comes, he is afraid that there will not be enough people, and Demou is still worried that he will not have a chance to go into battle

"Hehe" Everyone laughed kindly, Cheng Pu scratched his head in embarrassment and sat down.

Sun Ce smiled slightly and said, "Gong Jin, continue." "To be continued ...
