Chapter 240: Changes in the Situation in the Central Plains
Xu Da didn't chase deeply, and came back immediately!
It's just that he brought back Sun Deya's corpse!
Sun Deya is dead!
When Xia Kai heard this, he was shocked!
Hurry out, at this time, Guo Zixing got the news and came out too!
Everyone saw that Sun Deya was full of arrows!
There is no breath anymore, in this case, Xia Kai knows, and there is no way to do it!
So he ordered the thick soil flag to bury Sun Deya!
And afraid of the resurgence of civil strife, I strongly advise everyone, especially Guo Zixing and his lieutenants, to stop infighting, stop worrying, the dead are great!
Guo Zixing is still not convinced!
Xia Kai was very anxious about this matter!
Xia Kai sent Yang Xiao Fan Yao, two people, to pull Guo Zixing to drink, and persuade Guo Zixing!
Guo Zixing donated thousands of family fortunes to the development of the righteous army, and his contribution was indelible, but this person was jealous and narrow-minded!
And Sun Deya, Xia Kai didn't have much contact, I don't know what's going on, the two of them have changed from the original brotherhood to the current one, parting ways, and Sun Deya was defeated and killed!
It's really ...... What a tragedy of civil strife!
Xia Kai is afraid of civil strife!
After drinking, his eyes signaled to Yang Xiao and Fan Yao to persuade Guo Zixing!
Fan Yao patted Guo Zixing's shoulder and said something!
These words were all persuaded by Guo Zixing.
But Guo Zixing is still sighing!
Xia Kai thought, it is better to let Guo Zixing lead an army alone to conquer the west.
After thinking about it, they didn't make a decision, Fan Yao and Yang Xiao were still persuading to drink, and pulled Guo Zixing to drink, and then said some words to enlighten him.
After some time, there was a military situation from the front, Xu Shouhui lost the battle, and his territory was greatly reduced.
It's a lot smaller than before.
When Xu Shouhui was at his most majestic, Xia Kai knew that he had occupied one-third of the Central Plains, Zhang Shicheng in the southeast, and the imperial court in the north, almost three-thirds of the world!
But what about now?
Xu Shouhui's territory has become half of the original peak.
And, after suffering defeat, several generals surrendered.
Xia Xingxing thought that the armies of the Pingnan Mansion and the Ruyang Mansion were very sharp. Not to be underestimated. Although his martial arts are the best in the world, after all, fighting is not a one-on-one fight!
Everyone sat together and discussed, discussing the factors of Xu Shouhui's defeat!
Xia Kai knew very little about Xu Shouhui.
So, not knowing how to speak and observe the situation, Xu Da said: "I think it's the reason why the territory is too big!" ”
Xia Kaimeng was shocked.
Indeed!
Xia Kai took a closer look at Xu Shouhui's territory.
The discovery is indeed as Xu Da said.
Xu Da pointed to the map and said: "The map is big, the power is large, the troops are scattered, he claims to be a million people, in fact, it may be, count him 900,000 people, but this territory, surrounded by enemies, he has to divide his troops into four roads, east, west, north and south, defense on all sides, each side is less than 250,000, and what about the Yuan soldiers?" Wang Baobao and the army of the Pingnan Wangfu can attack at any time and attack its vital points. ”
Xia Kai said: "Xu Da said well, I think so too. The territory is large, the forces are scattered, and the battle lines and supply lines are too long. It's a terrible situation. ”
Xu Da continued: "We must learn from Xu Shouhui's lesson, and we can't suffer this loss again!" ”
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Monk Peng, etc., all nodded.
Zhou Dian said: "No, no, no? ”
Everyone said in unison; "What's wrong?"
Zhou Dian said: "You think, if the bigger the territory, the more we suffer, then our territory is so small, isn't it?" We've become the strongest? ”
Xia Kai and the others almost squirted out a mouthful of water, and they were speechless!
Zhou Dian spoke upside down, everyone knew this, but they didn't expect that they would say such words at this time, and they all shook their heads with a smile!
Xu Da said: "What Zhou Dian said, in fact, there is a certain truth, we must concentrate our superior forces to fight a few big battles and eliminate the main force of the Yuan soldiers, and then we can occupy the territory, instead of forcibly occupying it, counterattacking and defending, in that way, the active situation will become passive!" ”
Xia Kai said: "Well, it makes sense! ”
Xu Da continued: "Actually, these truths have been talked about in "Wu Mu's Testament"! ”
Xia Xingxing thought, yes, I gave "Wu Mu's Testament" to Xu Da, this guy, he is smart, wise and studious, of course he can give full play to his strengths!
It should be said that the "Wu Mu Testament" was given to him, which can be regarded as the right person.
In addition, Xu Da also learned some ancient military books and the art of war.
Before Xia Kai, he saw Xu Da looking at thirty-six plans alone. And Sun Tzu's Art of War!
From ancient times to the present, there are some famous art of war, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Mu's suicide note, and what Taigong soldier's book.
Of course, Zhang Liang's guy is very good at self-marketing, and Xia Kai thinks that the so-called Taigong Soldier Book may ...... Well, it doesn't exist!
Of course, these thoughts are fleeting.
The reasons for Xu Shouhui's defeat were discussed for a while. In the next three days, the news came that Xu Shouhui was defeated again, and the situation was very bad.
At this time, Xu Da suggested that we could take the opportunity to recover some of Xu Shouhui's territory.
We don't go head-to-head with Xu Shouhui. It's always okay to take over his lost territory, right?
Everyone hit it off, Chuzhou is the place where Xu Shouhui's troops have been defeated in the past few days, and it is okay to stay in Xiangyang City. Not too far too far!
The killing of Sun Deya made Wang Baobao receive a commendation from the imperial court!
On the other hand, Zhao Min stepped up his actions.
and united many masters to prepare to encircle and suppress the Shaolin Temple.
Because whether it is Zhang Shicheng, or Xu Shouhui, whether it is Sun Deya, or Guo Zixing, they have all been helped by many forces in the rivers and lakes!
And Zhao Min of the Ruyang Royal Mansion received an order to exterminate the forces of the rivers and lakes with all his might!
Three days later, Xia Kai ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to attack Chuzhou.
It can be regarded as listening to Xu Da's advice. In addition, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo are engaged!
That's the big deal.
Zhang Cuishan was happy, came to Xiangyang again, and saw Xia Kai, Xia Kai wanted to personally lead the troops to Chuzhou to fight the Pingnan Mansion and Ruyang Palace, but now, there are some miscellaneous matters, so he let Xu Da and Chang Yuchun go.
I didn't go again.
Han Shantong and Han Lin'er, father and son, please go to war, Xia Kai is not very worried about Xiangyang clothes, so let them stay in Xiangyang!
When Xu Da was marching to Chuzhou, Zhang Shicheng officially announced that the 800,000-strong army would go on a northern expedition.
It can be said that this move is to unify the north.
The overthrow of the imperial court is just around the corner, and Xia Kai held a meeting to let everyone be on guard at all times, thinking that one day, if he fights for the world, he will inevitably have a battle with Zhang Shicheng.
In fact, the development of history to the present, the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and the retreat to the north are doomed!
Because the situation has developed so far, there have been uprisings everywhere, but in the end, who can fight for the world?
Xia Kai didn't have a bottom in his heart.
