Chapter 963: Marching into Hedong

"For example, among all the roads today, only part of Hedong Dao is not controlled by my Jia Dynasty, the reason why those barbarians were allowed to occupy the northern part of Hedong Dao was because there were still three Dao in Shu in the Central Plains that had not been pacified, and now General Zhou and General Xu have taken the King of Shu, Su Zican and others into the capital, and all the three Dao Dao in Shu have been pacified, so now is the time to settle this account with them." Li You said slowly, "Do you have any questions? ”

"The money and grain spent in this attack on Shu is much less than expected, and the money and grain in the treasury can fully support this war." Fighting a war is logistics, so whether this war can start depends on whether the treasury is sufficient and whether it can support this war, and Fan Li's answer made Luo Shiji and other generals who were bent on fighting let go of their last worries.

"The armies of Hedong Province have not slackened over the years, and they are always ready to recover the vast land in the north, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the soldiers will be able to attack the north in one go." Luo Shiji replied with confidence, over the years, he has been preparing for this war all the time, and he doesn't know how many times he has done targeted training in combination with the terrain of the northern part of Hedong Province and the characteristics of various departments, and the army under him is also the largest number of cavalry among the armies of the Jia Dynasty, and even Shi Huaiyi of Guannei Province can't compare to them, in order to target those northern nomads.

"The Black Ice Platform has clearly investigated the bottom of the various tribes of Hedong Province, how many people each tribe has, how many horses, how many soldiers can be drawn, and how it has a relationship with the surrounding tribes, and has already mixed into these tribes by pretending to be merchants, monks, Taoist priests, etc., if Your Majesty gives an order, Weichen can let them mess up on their own first." Sima Cuo, who is in charge of the Black Ice Platform, also seems to be full of confidence, and the Hedong Provinces have been infiltrated into a sieve by the Black Ice Platform over the years.

"The naval division has also mastered the landing combat training extremely well, and the topography and hydrological conditions along the Hedong Province have also been clearly explored, and a number of landing operation plans have been formulated. Admiral Qian Hua saw Zhou Bofu and Xu Guang making such great achievements, and he was already envious, and now that he finally waited for the space to perform, how could he let others ignore him?

"Your Majesty, it is not possible to fight without cavalry in Hedong Road, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard." Although Qin Shixin, who is the best at cavalry combat, is not as good at speaking as the previous ones, his determination to fight is beyond words.

"The Kannai Province is close to the Hedong Road, and attacking eastward from the Kannai Province can penetrate directly into the ribs of the Hedong Province and catch them off guard." Shi Huaiyi wanted to use this method to win a chance to play for himself.

"Your Majesty, in this attack on Shuzhong, the troops led by the old minister have not experienced much experience, and I hope that Your Majesty is giving them a chance, so that they can experience more wars, so that they can train into a strong army as soon as possible." Xu Guang also stood up to speak, and since then, among the many famous generals of the Jia Dynasty, except for Zhou Bofu, who was far away in Shu, the rest of them have joined the competition for this mission.

"This is probably the last battle in recent years, and since you are all so eager, it is only natural that I will grant your wishes." Now that all the provinces in the Central Plains have been pacified, and the young and strong people of the Mobei tribes have suffered heavy losses, in addition to Hedong Road, there really will not be too many opportunities to use infantry and cavalry on a large scale, presumably these people have also thought of this, so they are so eager to ask for battle, right? Li You is naturally not good at dampening their enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, knowing that they must have the opportunity to participate in this battle, so they hurriedly thanked them.

"The Hedong Province is not like the Mobei Tribes, there is such a figure as Arub who can twist them together, so they are just a plate of scattered sand." Li You pointed to the dotted labels on the map and said, these all represent the barbarian tribes in Hedong Province, and the color and size of the labels symbolize different population sizes and tribal strengths, all of which are marked according to the intelligence found by the Black Ice Platform, "Even their most powerful tribe can't stop the strength of any of you, so we don't have to hit each of the forces in this battle, but we should attack from all sides and attack multiple tribes at the same time." ”

Li You first determined the general direction, and then began to assign tasks, "Mr. Xu, you lead a group of soldiers and horses from Henan Road to the north to attack the Xi tribe in front; Qin Shixin, you go north from the west of Hedong Road and attack the Murowei tribe in the north; Luo Shiji, you lead your headquarters to the north from the middle of Hedong Road, attack the three tribes of the Wuhuan people, and be sure to annihilate them all; Shi Huaiyi, you lead the men and horses of the Kannai Province to attack the territory of Hedong Province from the north to the east, solve the Kumoxi Department in front, and then block the way of the other tribes to the west and north; Qian Hua, you lead the sailors from the Luanhe River into the territory of Hedong Road, sweep away the filthy tribes along the way, and block their way north with General Shi, and be sure to keep these people in Hedong Road, so as not to let them go and harass the border of our Jiachao in the future. ”

"The last will obey!" Everyone responded in unison, although they all had no chance to sweep the Hedong tribes alone, maybe participating in this war would have satisfied them.

"Then next, you Aiqing should think about the specific plan for this battle." Li You has determined the big strategy, and the specific details are up to them to consider, "And Fan Shangshu will do a good job of allocating grain and grass as soon as possible." ”

Although the Jia Dynasty is not short of money and grain now, most of these are stored in Shannan Dongdao and other places, ready to be used by the army marching into Shuzhong, and now it will take time to transfer these money and grain to Henan Province, Guannei Road, Hedong Province and Qianhua's sailor port for their march, so it must be arranged in advance.

"We're in command." Just when Luo Shiji, Shi Huaiyi and others were ordered to return to the capital, Fan Li guessed that he was going to march into Hedong next, so he had already formulated a plan in advance, and now he only needs to implement the plan according to it, and he can't draw much time.

Qin Shixin, Xu Guang and the others are the same, they are also making a lot of preparations for this battle, and now although the arrangements made by Li You are a bit unexpected by them, the general direction has not deviated too much, and they only need to make some slight adjustments to the plans that have been prepared a long time ago.

In this way, the generals quickly made preparations, they bid farewell to Li You and began to enter the predetermined battlefield according to the plan.
