Lin Haotian nodded while listening to Bi Wen's analysis, and when he finished speaking, Lin Haotian turned his head to look at Chu Lianyu again, and asked, "Lianyu, what do you mean?"

Chu Lianyu was silent for a while, and Fang Youyou said: "Master Bi's analysis is very reasonable, but the last general still thinks that he is in a hurry and too risky. ”

Bi Wen sneered in his heart, Chu Lianyu disagreed with his strategy, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it, so to put it mildly, he still asked for stability, and his nature was too conservative.

His face was silent, he slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and then waited for Lin Haotian's reaction. He knew in his heart that Chu Lianyu's words would not convince the adults who were bent on fighting quickly.

As the first strategist under Lin Haotian's account, Chu Lianyu has always been the main battle faction of the Jin Kingdom, but this time he was rarely laughed at by Bi Wen as a conservative.

Really. Lin Haotian disagreed with Chu Lianyu's statement, he said with a smile: "Lian Yu, you advocate not going south anymore because you are afraid that Yan You will suddenly intervene, and now, Yan You sits idly by, and your concerns have become untargeted, and this is a big move." In my opinion, I will do what Bi Wen wants, and my country will seize the gap in front of us, go south to Tianma County, and then go east to Jiankang. ”

In terms of tactical strategy, it is not Chu Lianyu's forte, but he also understands that it is a dangerous move to go deep alone, and one mistake may lead to the annihilation of the whole army.

He muttered: "Tianma County is an important place in the Red Country, and it is already difficult to fight, and it is even more difficult to fight from Tianma County to Jiankang, passing through the three counties, our army has less than 100,000 troops, and it is not easy to take Jiankang in one go?!"

Lin Haotian said with a straight face: "The so-called soldiers are dangerous. Even we ourselves don't think that we have the strength to take Jiankang directly, so the Red Kingdom will be even more unprepared, and our army will be taken by surprise. It is not impossible to succeed in attacking it unprepared. ”

"The probability of success will not exceed 30%! Even if Jiankang is really successfully defeated in the end, with the strength of our army at that time, it will not be able to besiege the city, Shi Huai can easily escape at any time, and it will become meaningless to capture Jiankang. However, once the war is unfavorable, our army will not even have a way to retreat, and the soldiers will have no other way but to fight to the death. If it succeeds, it will only win face, and if it fails, our army will fall into a desperate situation. Doom to come. Which is more important, adults should think twice and consider carefully!"

Chu Lianyu put the consequences of success and failure in front of Lin Haotian, and asked him to make comparisons and analyses to see if it was really necessary to take such a big risk.

At this time, Zhang Hui said: "Soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Winning by surprise is the way to defeat the enemy. If our army can occupy Jiankang. Regardless of whether Shi Huai escapes or not, our army has already shaken the foundation of the Red Country, how can it be meaningless? Moreover, adults often say that even if there is only one hope of victory, one can take a risk, and now is a great time to destroy the Red Country, and it should not be missed. If we don't defeat the Red Country today, tomorrow the Red Country will regroup, and it will become a great trouble for our country, and there will be endless disasters in the future!"

Chu Lianyu shook his head again and again and said, "The scholar talks about soldiers." Misleading the country and hurting the army is not advisable or desirable!"

Zhang Hui said-for-tat: "Why isn't Mr. Chu a scholar?"

Listening to the argument between the two of them, Lin Haotian felt that his head was big again, Chu Lianyu's words made sense, and Bi Wen was even more right, whether to fight or not to fight, now it is really uncertain and difficult to choose.

Lin Haotian waved his hand in annoyance and said to Chu Lianyu, "What will happen after our army defeats Tianma County?"

Chu Lianyu said: "Tianma County is an important place in the Red Country, there is no room for loss, as long as the adults defeat Tianma County, the situation will be clear, and then it is not what we choose to do, but to see how the situation will develop at that time." Originally, the last general was opposed to going south to fight Tianma County again, but since the adults insisted, the last generals no longer stuck to their own opinions, but the last generals had a request, and I hope the adults will agree. ”

"You say!"

"In any case, General Muwu's Sixth Army Corps must not be mobilized!" Chu Lianyu said with a solemn face.

At present, the Jin Army in the Jin-Chi War, the only corps that did not fight on the front line is the Sixth Army Corps, which was previously responsible for receiving the First Army Corps, fought a large-scale border battle, and suffered a lot of losses, plus the towns occupied by the Jin Army also need to be rectified, so the Sixth Army has been staying in the rear, resting and being responsible for logistics at the same time.

The reason why Chu Lianyu mentioned that the Sixth Army could not be mobilized was because he had judged that the battle of Tianma County would be extremely difficult, and with the strength of the Fourth Army Corps, it would not be easy to capture the entire territory of Tianma County, and when the war entered a stalemate, Lin Haotian would definitely think of transferring the Sixth Army to participate in the battle, and it was this that Chu Lianyu was afraid of.

There is a sixth army in the rear, which can not only stabilize the situation in the counties and counties occupied by the side, but also serve as a strong backup for the front-line army, if the front army is unfortunately defeated, at least there are reinforcements to count on, and there is a way to retreat, and if the sixth army is also transferred to the front line, then the Jin army will have no back, once it fails, it will be a thousand miles away, irretrievable.

In the war between countries, there is no chance of any luck, if one move is not careful, all the games will be lost, and Chu Lianyu will have to plan for the worst.

Lin Haotian didn't think about it so much, or he didn't think about his defeat at all, when he heard Chu Lianyu say that the Sixth Army could not be mobilized, he felt quite intrigued, so good, why did he want to mobilize the Sixth Army? He smiled leisurely and said: "Chu Lianyu, you think too much, the Fourth Army is enough to fight Tianma County. ”

Chu Lianyu didn't dare to make the war as simple as Lin Haotian thought, and said, "My lord, I just need to agree to the last general." ”

Seeing that he looked serious and his face was solemn, Lin Haotian understood that when Chu Lianyu showed this expression, if he didn't agree to him, he would definitely be entangled. He smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, to fight Tianma County, and never send the Sixth Legion." ”

When Chu Lianyu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In addition, my lord also needs to send an order to General Muwu to gather the Red Army that has returned to Shun from all over the country as soon as possible to meet the occasional need." ”

Lin Haotian was too lazy to discuss these trivial matters, waved his hand and said, "It's up to you to arrange these things." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Chu Lianyu responded solemnly, gave the order, and said no more.

At this point, the differences within the Jin army were temporarily resolved, and various opinions reached a unified consensus, that is, to attack Tianma County first.

Finally no longer heard the opposition, Lin Haotian felt a lot more relaxed, and began to prepare to fight in the south.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, Lin Haotian has a deep understanding of this, and all battles commanded by him personally, the Jin army attaches the most importance to intelligence.

Before the army started, Lin Haotian first called Shaolin and asked him to send out all the spies that could be dispatched, so as to find out the situation in Tianma County in the shortest possible time, including the detailed information of each town and the distribution of the Red Army's troops.

Lin Haotian gave an order, and the Jin Army spies were fully dispatched, and in the next few days, the investigation reports were like a marquee, and all kinds of information continued to be transmitted back to Lin Haotian.

Tianma County is a large county, consisting of three counties, a total of ten cities and twenty-three villages and towns, the number of defenders in each city varies, more than tens of thousands, as few as thousands, hundreds, all together together, almost about 100,000 people.

In Lin Haotian's eyes, these troops are not to be feared, after all, they are local armies, their combat power is limited, no matter how many troops there are, they are just a rabble on a large-scale battlefield, and what he really cares about is the Central Army of the Red Kingdom stationed in Tianma County.

Tianma County is the base camp of the Red Army's invasion of Muguo, and the logistics and supplies of the 500,000 Red Army who went out are hoarded in Tianma County, and there are four large camps covering an area of more than ten miles alone, among which there are a large number of Red Central Army guards. Of course, most of these Central Army of the Red Kingdom who failed to go to the battlefield were old, weak, sick and disabled, but they had a lot of troops.

Of the four major barracks of the Red Army, two of them were for the reception of wounded soldiers, and the tens of thousands of wounded soldiers produced in the Chimu War were placed in these two barracks. In addition, the two military camps were used to accept new soldiers, and their main role was to hoard supplies, and the other was to train new soldiers and transport them to the wood country to fill the vacancies created by the Red Army in the war.

If the war breaks out in Tianma County, both wounded soldiers and new recruits can go to the battlefield, which will cause the Red Army's strength to surge instantly. (To be continued......)
