Chapter 623: Strategic Adjustment
Luo Shiji knew that Li You not only controlled the military power of Jiazhou now, but also the power of the court and government, so he couldn't leave Jiazhou for too long, this time he led the troops out to defeat Yaluhan's 80,000 army, and blocked Yuan Zhang in Henan Province and couldn't go south, there would not be much war in a short time, so it was time to return to Jiazhou.

"Lord Taiwei, please rest assured, with the help of General Pan and General Zhou, the last general will definitely not let Yuan Zhang enter Dugi Road for half a step." Pan Feng and Zhou Bofu are in charge of cavalry, infantry in hand, and he is in the middle of the command, as long as Yuan Zhang personally led an army of 100,000 people out of the nest, Luo Shiji is confident that he can fully cope with it, and he can't help but feel a little sorry that he can't fight side by side with Qin Shixin, but he also knows that this is out of consideration of checks and balances, and he will never dare to have any complaints.
"Well, I can still trust General Luo's ability, and when he leads the army north again, it will be the day of the recovery of the capital, and there will be an opportunity for General Luo to make meritorious contributions." Li You tried, and Luo Shiji was able to learn Yue Fei's "single-mindedness", so he no longer had any doubts about him doing these things well.
After exchanging the art of war with Li You, Luo Shiji felt that he had gained a lot, and the ideas that were still a little ignorant in the past suddenly became extremely clear now, which made him more awe of Li You, Lord Taiwei really has unfathomable ability, and it is probably only a matter of time before he will dominate the world in the future, and after recovering the capital, I am afraid it will be the time for Lord Taiwei to replace King Fu, right? When the time comes, I must remind Brother Qin not to make a mistake.
Luo Shiji did not receive much benefit in the Great Wei, and even Zhang Guo, whom he had always respected, died in the hands of the Northern Emperor because of the Great Wei court, so he did not have much respect for the Great Wei royal family, but Li You was the best candidate to be fair, cherish the people, and officially replace the Great Wei to dominate the world; Thinking of this, Luo Shiji not only shook his head secretly, Qin Shixin hated the Great Wei court even more than him, if Li You had an idea, he was too late to be happy, how could he make a mistake.
I'd better stay in Dugi Province to monitor Yuan Zhang, and when the time comes, as long as Lord Taiwei needs it, I will definitely cut off those remnants of the Great Wei for him, Luo Shiji has already made a choice.
A few days later, Li You took Qin Shixin and some soldiers and horses south, this time the route he chose was to enter Huainan Road first, go to Qiantang, where Qian Hua was located, to inspect the training of the new water division, and then return to Jiazhou by water; Qin Shixin looked at Luo Shiji's camp with some reluctance, he didn't seem to have a good time killing this, and asked Li You, "Lord Taiwei, when will we be able to recover the capital and drive these northern captives back to Mobei?" ”
"When I train 150,000 elite soldiers in Jiazhou, it will be the day when I go north again to recover the capital, and General Qin will be a good pioneer at that time." Li You knew that he was eager to invite war, so he reassured, "But before that, we must first deal with the king of Yue and harass the islands along the coast, so that they don't harass the back road when our army goes north." ”
"How can those weak soldiers in Jiangnan Dongdao be the opponents of my Jiazhou army? Lord Taiwei does not need to go out on his own, the last general can lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Jiangnan Dongdao and bring King Yue, Zheng Feihuang and Wang Wufeng to Jiazhou. Qin Shixin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to start fighting.
"The infantry cavalry under the King of Yue is indeed not a cause for concern, and General Qin can indeed defeat them with 20,000 soldiers and horses." Li You knew that Jiangnan Dongdao was not based on infantry and cavalry, but the largest naval division in the world, even if they could be defeated on land, Zheng Feihuang and Wang Wufeng could also take King Yue to the sea, constantly harass the coast, and created endless trouble for Li You, "But their sailors are not trivial, if they can't defeat the sailors of King Yue, but the consequences are endless." ”
No wonder Lord Taiwei wants to go to Qiantang first this time, it turned out that he was going to see General Qian's sailor, Qin Shixin is extremely conceited about his ability on land, but when it comes to water warfare, he is completely blind, "If the rich general is here, he will definitely defeat the sailor of King Yue, but when he wants to attack from the land in the future, Lord Taiwei should not forget the last general." ”
The army marched very fast, less than half a month's work came to Qiantang, Qian Hua, who had already gotten the news, came out to greet him, among the people who accompanied him, Li You also saw Yao Guangxiao and Sima Cuo, it seems that they also guessed Li You's intentions, and rushed to meet first, and the two of them were there, just enough to help refer to the details of this strategic adjustment.
"The last general/subordinate official welcomes the return of the Taiwei with a great victory and is coming to Qiantang." Seeing Li You riding a Zhulong horse in front of him, everyone hurriedly bowed down to greet him, and his tone was full of respect; It is really Li You's victory in the north this time is too great, annihilating Yaluhan's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop, and recovering Dugi Province, seeing that their own strength and territory are growing rapidly, they have taken the lead in the battle for domination of the world, and then they will also get extremely high rewards for those who bet on the right bet, and they can't help but be excited when they think of this, and their tone is naturally extremely respectful.
"Master Yao, Mr. Sima, and General Qian, please hurry up." Li You turned over and pulled the three of them up one by one with his own hands, and the rest of the people didn't have such a good treatment, so they quickly got up and got up on their own.
Sending a few words of congratulations and sending the soldiers into the arranged barracks, Li Youze, Qin Shixin and others followed Qian Hua into the city, thinking that when they went north for the first time, there were only a few small boats and less than a hundred followers, but today they came with tens of thousands of troops, which was really like a world away.
Qian Hua had already prepared a banquet to catch the wind, and everyone began to drink freely, Li You had a lot of encouragement to the officials around Qiantang at the banquet, and they were smiling when they heard it, and a cup of wine kept pouring into their stomachs.
After three rounds of drinking, the banquet dispersed, and the rest of the people left, only Yao Guangxiao, Sima Cuo, Qian Hua and Qin Shixin flowed down, Qian Hua led them into the backyard, served tea and sobered up, and then discussed the next plan.
"General Qian, how is the training of the sailors now?" If you want to attack Jiangnan Dongdao, you must deal with their sailors, so Qian Hua's new sailors are crucial.
"Lord Qiyu, many of Mr. Gu's new warships have been sent to Qiantang, and the soldiers have been practicing intensively these days, and they have achieved initial results, and they are quite skilled in traveling on the big lake." Qian Hua first reported the progress, and then began to clarify the difficulties, "It's just that if you want to go to sea, I'm afraid you will have to train for a while, after all, boating on the sea is very different from that on the river and lake, and not many people have mastered this stargazing technique alone."
