"Don't underestimate the Wu Navy Army, they may not have the big killer weapons on our side, but their use of magic is not much worse than ours, and I think they will also have some new things on the Navy fleet that we don't expect. Mei is not as optimistic as Kou Wenli, "By the way, Wenli, have you been in contact with Jiang Kou? They have also clashed with Wu Guo's naval army, do you have any information?"

"There is very little intelligence, and there are not many opportunities to fight head-to-head with the Wu Guoshui Army over there, that is, some small contacts, and I can't see anything else. Kou Wenli shook his head, "There is also some confusion on their side now, probably because there are some differences in the strategy on the ant thief's side, and the relationship between the two ant thieves is also showing signs of splitting, so they are also a little confused." ”

"Oh?" Mei Guo became interested, "Wenli, is it possible to recruit these people to our side?"

Kou Wenli scratched his head, "I've thought about it too, and I've tried it a few times, but I haven't gotten much response, I guess they should have some concerns, and at the same time, they haven't given up on the ant thief's side yet." ”

"Well, the situation in the south will soon change dramatically, and we should still have a chance. Mei Guo looked at the south with his eyes, "Whether it is Wu Guo who wants to eliminate the threat of ant thieves in one fell swoop, or Yue Guo and the ant thieves collude to give Wu Guo a heavy blow, it is an opportunity for us, Chu Yang Erzhou We must take it, and in addition, in the long run, Jiangning should also be controlled in our hands." ”

Kou Wenli smacked his tongue secretly.

It is not easy to take Chu Yang, Xuzhou's strategy as the deputy governor of the southern naval army, Kou Wenli also roughly knows that after controlling Chu and Yang's two states, he will plan the Northern Expedition, Xuzhou's control line in the south is basically bounded by the river, but Jiangning is not said in Jiangnan, and it is also a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, and controlling Jiangning has a great threat to the entire Runzhou, and it is difficult to accept it on the Yue side.

"Privy envoy, the strength of the Vietnamese naval army is not weak, and it is their bottom line to rule by dividing the river, if we want to control Jiangning, they are afraid that they will not agree. Kou Wenli hesitated, but still felt that he was telling the truth.

"Hmph, their strength is not weak, can we scare them?" Wenli, you have to take a look at the general trend, after we take the Chuyang two states, there is no one in Jianghuai who can have a substantial threat to us, the Yue country can only take a defensive position against us, even if we are now in the north for a while, but it does not mean that our strength in the south is weak, once the Wu state is destroyed, we can also accept the power of the Wu state in the Chuyang two states, then the power from the entire Huainan will inevitably gradually expand to the south, which will also require us to have a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, not only military needs, but also political and economic needs。 ”

"But doesn't this make it more difficult for Yue Guo to accept?" Kou Wenli asked rhetorically: "Jiangning is in our hands, even if they take Runchang Erzhou, it will be a thorn in the back, and it will drag them a large number of troops in Runzhou, they will not accept it." ”

"You have to accept it, and you have to accept it if you don't accept it. Mei said leisurely: "The royal family of Fujian has sent an envoy to Haizhou by sea, from Haizhou to Xuzhou to meet the king of the county, do you know?"

"Huh?" Kou Wenli was taken aback, "Fujian has sent people to meet the king of the county, what do they want?"

"Hehe, Wenli, we Xuzhou have taken Pinglu Town, and we already control the entire coastal area south of Heshuo to Jianghuai, Fujian is famous for maritime trade, not inferior to Yangzhou and Mingzhou, so the news spread quickly. Mei Guo smiled and said: "The relationship between the Wang family of Fujian and the Qian family of Yue Guo has been constantly disjointed, and the Wang family should have seen that sooner or later there will be disputes between our Xuzhou and Yue Kingdom, which is in advance of the layout." ”

Kou Wenli seriously thought about the question mentioned by Mei Guo, if Fujian intends to join forces with Xuzhou, then Yue Guo will be in danger.

Although the strength of the Wang clan of Fujian is far less than that of Yue, its geographical location is quite important, and the five prefectures of Fu, Jian, Quan, Zhang, and Ting are located in the southeast, which can greatly contain the Yue Kingdom.

"I heard that the King of the Gun and the Wang clan are both from Gwangju?" asked Kou Wenli.

"Well, it's a fellow villager, but it's not important, the key is that Fujian and we will have common interests in the future. Mei Guo smiled slightly, "Now maybe we don't have the strength to ask about Jiangnan, but we must lay a wedge in Jiangnan, Jiangning is this wedge, Runchang Erzhou originally belongs to Wu State, Wu State is destroyed, the virtuous live in it, Yue Guo can also get, Xuzhou of course can also be obtained, Yue Guo can be taken first, then Xuzhou can also be taken." ”

With the rapid expansion of Xuzhou's strength, the attitude of the generals under Xuzhou has begun to become more confident and strong, and they have nothing to say about their own nature, which does not belong to them, and they have to strive for the pursuit, which is precisely the most typical sign of the rise of a new regime.

"Privy Council, are the Wu Ning Army and the Huaiyou Army ready to stop?" Kou Wenli no longer dwelled on this.

Since he is a member of the Xuzhou army, of course, he hopes that Xuzhou will become stronger, and it is best to sweep Jiangbei with a crushing momentum, and completely bring Chuyang and Yangzhou into the rule of the Xuzhou Governor's Office.

"Almost, it is agreed that the attack will be made on the twenty-seventh day of April, and there are still ten days to go, and it is estimated that by that time, the Wu army of Chuyang Erzhou should have crossed the river and been on the battlefield of Runchang Erzhou. Mei Guo had a little more joy in his eyes, "It's best to get stuck when the Wu army crosses south to fight with the Vietnamese army and the ant thieves, so that we can catch them off guard, and the naval army should block the river to prevent the Wu army from returning to Jiangbei on the other side of Runzhou, and create conditions for the Huaiyou Army and the Wuning Army to attack the city." ”

"It depends on whether the Wu army will be mobilized as desired, but even if the Wu army has a back hand in Jiangbei, we are not afraid, we Xuzhou have enough strength to solve the Wu army, unless Li Yu can completely abandon Runchang Erzhou and withdraw all the Wu army to Jiangbei, but even then, Li Yu can at most keep Yangzhou for the time being, Chuzhou we are determined, as long as Chuzhou is lost, Runchang Erzhou will be obtained by Yueguo, a single Yangzhou, Li Yu He will not last long, and it will be in the hands of our Xuzhou!" Kou Wenli's tone was also very confident.

Mei Guo nodded, "We have this self-confidence, but before that, we must also be fully prepared, expect the enemy to be lenient, the task of our naval army in this battle is very heavy, blocking, siege, water warfare, can not be avoided, we want to take Yangzhou, Wu State naval army must be desperate, the battle of trapped beasts, not to be underestimated." ”

"Privy rest assured, the Chaohu Navy has been painstakingly preparing for this battle for so long, to be honest, in the past two years, the big guys have been a little bored in training, eager for a war, but unfortunately limited to the strategic direction, there has not been much opportunity on the river side, and it is not easy to wait for this battle, and the magic material official academy has carried out a large-scale upgrade of the manipulation methods and technologies of our warships, and at the same time, it is even more reborn in the strike weapon, and the big guy is holding his breath to perform well. Kou Wenli waved his hand fiercely, "The Wu State Navy is indeed not weak, but they will definitely encounter the Huai Water Army on the front line of Gaoyou, Anyi, and Shanyang, and they will definitely disperse some of their forces. ”

Mei Guo also knows that fighting a war is inevitably risky, but at this point, it should be said that various possibilities have been considered, and even so, there will still be many unpredictable variables, which is where the magic of war lies, and no one can be sure.

Now Xuzhou is already ready to fly, the Wuning army is moving south in the starry night, and the Huaiyou army is also quietly assembling to advance to Chuzhou, and the Huaishui army under the command of Tian Chunlai is also gathered in the Sizhou line, just waiting for an order, it will go down the river and go straight to Chuzhou.

"This is already the thirty-eighth ship heading south in the past half a month, all of them choose to go out of the city late at night, all covered with tarpaulins, looking at the waterline of the ships, it shouldn't be something like food, but it is so secretive, what can it be?" The two black shadows lying in ambush outside the water gate quietly observed the big ship that quietly came out of the water gate and disappeared into the darkness.

"Ten large ships in each round, fish out in a stream, every three days, if it is to transport troops, each ship can carry between two hundred and fifty to three hundred people, but if you want to add some simple baggage, it can carry at least two hundred people. The other black figure raised his body and was still looking at the slowly closing water gate, "This means that at least three soldiers above the army level have gone south." ”

"This is basically the same as the news from the city, from Anyi and Yancheng, thousands of garrisons have been added in successively, and it is estimated that they are going south to fill these town navies. The previous black shadow slowly retreated backwards, "Although An Yi and Gaoyou haven't seen anything, they enter the city at night every time, and there are also a large number of supplies in the city, which is enough to explain the problem." ”

"In fact, this can't be hidden from people at all, as long as you stare at the training of the town navy, you can see the problem. The latter shadow slowly got up and stepped back after it.

"Wu Jun's idea is to hide it for as long as it takes, isn't there still a garrison to come and mix things up?" The previous black shadow had been withdrawn ten zhang away, and then he slowly got up and vigilantly observed the situation around, "They must also be worried that our Xuzhou has an idea about Chuzhou, and there is still a military army stationed in the town navy on Xuyi's side, and not a single soldier has moved, isn't it just that we are afraid that we will see the truth? In fact, this is meaningless." ”

"Hehe, they can't help it, Xuyi's side is too close, and if you don't pay attention, you will be exposed. The latter black shadow also stood still, "It's time to send the news back, this time, it is estimated that it will be out of Yangzhou and cross the river in three days, and it will be almost." ”
