Gu Cheng stood at the head of Xiangyang City, with broken arrows on the city wall, and the smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated.

No one thought that the large army of the Southern Song Dynasty had not yet reached the border, and the Jin State had already moved south, with an army of 200,000 troops, approaching Xiangyang.

The government and the opposition were shaken, and the lord and faction faintly raised their heads, but Gu Cheng Qiankun was arbitrary, and ordered to march immediately, and arrived in Xiangyang ten days early.

Xiangyang is a very standard place of four wars, not to mention the Southern Song Dynasty, the area where major events occurred in the Chinese dynasties, can always have something to do with Xiangyang.

Only this time, it is no longer the hard guard in the Condor who can't see the future, but the heroic master who will restore my rivers and mountains!

In this Northern Expedition, excluding the troops guarding Lin'an and defending the Lianghuai front, the Great Song Dynasty used a total of 130,000 troops and 70,000 Dingfu, known as 200,000 troops.

And Gu Cheng did not bet all of them on the battle of Xiangyang, on the contrary, he only brought 30,000 soldiers into Xiangyang, and the rest were handed over to Xin Qiji.

Xin Qiji did not live up to his expectations, and the troops were divided into three routes, and the western front marched from Shaanxi and Gansu to Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The other two roads take the middle line of Jinghu, the other takes the east line and two Huai, the soldiers point directly to Henan, and the tombs of the emperors of the Song Dynasty are close at hand.

Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory.

This soldier is divided into three ways, all of which may be bluffing, or they can avoid real attacks.

However, Wanyan Xiang relied on the superiority of troops, nearly divided 50,000 troops to defend in various ways, and raised an army of 150,000 to attack Xiangyang.

Gu Cheng held Xiangyang, withstood the pressure of the Jin army, and ordered Xin Qiji to steadily subdue the lost territory and encircle Kaifeng.

Wanyan Xiang, who drove the expedition in person, was located in the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

As a result, Song and Jin clashed for March, and the battle situation strangely changed to king to king.

Gu Chengju Xiangyang, Wanyan Xiangju Kaifeng, if the two armies can capture each other's cities and kill or even capture the emperor of the enemy country, then the victory or defeat will naturally be decided.

"Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Kaifeng is easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if it is a stupid general, he will not be like this, not to mention that after Yan Xiangnan conquered the northern war, he is the god of war of the Jin Kingdom......"

The fragrant wind wafted behind him, Feng Yu draped a cloak over his shoulders, and Gu Cheng said slowly.

Feng Yu said in a condensed voice: "Wanyan Xiang wantonly slaughtered Wenchen, reckless soldiers, if it is a protracted war, the Jin State will be defeated, so he will put it to death and live later, if he can take Xiangyang, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, the resistance within the Jin State can be quelled in an instant, and the contradiction will turn from the inside to the outside!"

"But what if you can't?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows: "All those who fight, before they think about victory, they think about defeat first, are they ready to make a desperate bet when Yan Xiang usurps the throne?"

Feng Yu was silent, and her beautiful eyes showed thought.

Now the three roads are advancing vigorously, not only because of the merits of generals such as Xin Qiji, but also because of the advice of this female Zhuge and the assassination of martial arts masters.

It's a pity that no matter how the wise people of the Great Song Dynasty analyze, they don't understand why Wan Yanxiang put himself in a desperate situation.

Or, how sure can Wan Yanxiang take Xiangyang before the Song army besieges it on three roads and captures Kaifeng, which has no danger of mountains and rivers?

You must know that Xiangyang is not another city, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack to the extreme, and after a few decades, the Mongolian iron cavalry swept the world, and it also hit a wall in front of Xiangyang for a long time, and the casualties were as high as ten times higher than the defenders!

Feng Yu pointed to the southwest and the two sides: "To take Xiangyang, first build a walled city in Wanshan, Da Xian Mountain, and Lumen Mountain, cut off land transportation, and then defeat the water supply with a water division, and besiege the three sides, then there will be a chance! This is also in the case of the cowardice of the defenders and the decline of national strength, at this time, my Great Song Dynasty is united, and the fighting spirit is high, and the 30,000 defenders of His Royal Highness are enough to resist the 300,000 defenders of the Jin State.

Gu Cheng listened carefully, and saw Feng Yu raise three fingers: "Your Highness, I have three strategies!"

"Speak!"

Feng Yu's eyes flashed with wisdom and ruthlessness: "Make a decision, order Wei Jinzhong and the four of them to enter Kaifeng, assassinate Yan Xiang, whether they succeed or not, spread the news that the gold lord was assassinated and seriously injured and died in various places, especially to let the generals under Wan Yanxiang know, shake the hearts of the army! ”

This is already a good plan, but it is only a strategy in Feng Yu's comparison, Gu Cheng asked, "What about the middle strategy?"

"Give up Xiangyang! Attack Kaifeng directly! Fight all the way to the central capital and destroy the Jin Kingdom!"

Feng Yu looked at Gu Cheng, his eyes were hot, and he said word by word: "As long as His Highness is safe and sound and leads the overall situation, even if Yan Xiang takes Xiangyang, what can he do? The Jin army went south and drove straight in, and we went north, and we also drove straight in, but the land of Jin originally belonged to our Great Song Dynasty, and there are many Han people living in various places who have been oppressed by the Jurchen tribe, and they will inevitably rise up and respond to the king! His Royal Highness has already sent martial arts people to seize grain, and grain and grass will not be a problem!" On the other hand, the Jin army, they will only encounter the resistance of the local people, become a lone army, the grain and grass are unsustainable, Wanyan Xiang is not right, once they suffer a setback, there will undoubtedly be a reappearance of the quarry rock fiasco, the Jin army mutiny and kill the master!"

Gu Cheng gasped.

Feng Sheng is full of wisdom, and after losing to Feng Sheng last time, he learned from the pain, stripped all his emotions when arranging, and stood on absolute rationality.

This plan is absolute rationality, exchanging the broken rivers and mountains for the victory of the Northern Expedition.

Is it worth it?

If it succeeds, it certainly pays off.

After all, war is a waste of money and labor, and long-term pain is better than short-term pain, if you can really exchange these costs for a big victory, I believe that every wise and martial emperor will agree.

What's more, Wan Yanxiang is a usurper and rebel, and now he is going against the grain, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"What about the best policy?"

Feng Yu was simple this time: "Delay! Dispatch Xin to abandon the disease to return to help, and defend Xiangyang steadily, no matter what tricks Yan Xiang has, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, as long as it drags on for a year, the Jin country will be in chaos!"

This is the royal way, so that the same can be changed.

But Gu Cheng could hear from Feng Yu's tone that she was actually inclined to the middle strategy.

Because Feng Yu couldn't figure out how to break the city with Yan Xiang, so the royal road was conservative, and it was not necessarily foolproof.

Feng Yu stepped back and left Gu Cheng alone to decide.

"'Fire' - come out!"

Gu Cheng is not alone in thinking, there are some things that cannot be discussed with Feng Yu for the time being, but he can communicate with the big Han Long Ling without hindrance.

"Is it possible for the remaining two remnant souls of Zhang Jiao Yuanshen to unite?"

"Fire" floated out: "Zhang Jiao's incarnation has been extinguished, and the three souls cannot be reunited, not to mention that Han Yanxuan is dead, but they will also subconsciously get close to each other, and it is really possible to unite." ”

"The two souls have joined forces, that is, a third party has entered the game? Our enemy may not only be the Jin Kingdom!"

Gu Cheng looked to the north, pondered for a long time, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Yu'er's three strategies have given me great inspiration, and I will take a three-pronged battle in this battle!"
