And the person who spoke was Liu Ye, the technical consultant of the Baigong Division! In order to transform the silver-level trebuchet of Qianguo into a more powerful gold-level thunderbolt, Zhang Shuo temporarily asked Liu Ye to be the technical consultant of the Baigong Division.

Although this Liu Ye is not as good as Xie An's top strategists, he is definitely a first-class level in history, and he has a great view of the overall situation!

"Consultant Liu has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Zhang Shuo smiled slightly, so that Liu Ye didn't have to worry about it, he could say it directly.

"Weichen Command!"

Liu Ye arched his hand to Zhang Shuo, and then continued: "At present, there are only three forces left in Qingzhou: Huang Chao, King of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, King of Qi, and Ji Yun, King of Lu. Among them, although the Lu State is the most powerful, the Qi State is the last, and the Qi army is invincible.

Between Qingzhou Jiang Qi and Xuzhou Tian Qi, there is an orthodox dispute, Jiang Qi southward is inevitable, if the Qian, Qi can not quickly extinguish the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once Qingzhou Jiang Qi destroys the Jin Qi State to free up our hands, it will be difficult for us to take the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”

"Orthodoxy?"

Zhang Shuo looked at Tian Bijiang suspiciously, if he hadn't heard Liu Ye talk about this matter, he really hadn't heard of it.

Seeing Zhang Shuo's view, Tian Pijiang did not hide it, and immediately explained: "Jiang Qi of Qingzhou, said that the ancestor of our Tian Qi was originally a courtier under Jiang Qi of Qingzhou, and he had been an official in Jiang Qi for several generations. They now want me Tian Qi to recognize his legitimacy and become their courtier again.

Since I can remember, I have never heard that my Tian Qi is his courtier of Jiang Qi in Qingzhou, and I have never paid tribute to them. This is really Jiang Qi's brazenness, fabricating and distorting facts in a vain attempt to confuse the public! ”

Zhang Shuo was indifferent and did not express his opinion, but he was sure in his heart that in "Dynasty", this is the real situation, because the historical Tian Qi Dynasty Jiang is much more shameless than the independence of the princes.

Zhang Shuo is not interested in evaluating the grievances and hatreds between the two countries, he just needs to know that there are a lot of grievances between the two countries. But if that's the case, then Jiang Qi's reason for crusading against Tian Qi is logical. Once Jiang Qi is freed up, there is indeed a great possibility that he will meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"What does Xie Dazai mean?"

At this time, Zhang Shuo already knew about the Eastern Jin Kingdom's subjugation of Wang Shichong and the allegiance of Qi Jiguang and Qin Qiong. He was also afraid that the military strength of the Eastern Jin Kingdom would expand rapidly and become a cancer in the Qianguo. But it is impossible to take the army into danger because of Liu Ye's idea alone.

"I think it's time to fight!" Seeing Zhang Shuo asking, Xie An immediately said his thoughts.

"At present, the Yinlong Army and the Huai Barbarian Army are in LY, and the Xiongwu Army is in Surabaya, and the only soldiers who can fight in our country are the Beifu Army, which has lost nearly half of it, and the Longxiang Army, which protects the safety of the monarch. Dazai thinks that when he fights, don't he want to use the military offices from all over the country to fill the holes! ”

Wang Anshi couldn't help frowning when he heard that Xie An actually supported the main battle, and said solemnly. In his opinion, what does the grievances and hatred of the two Qi countries have to do with their country, just like to beat them and let them fight, maybe there will be a chance to pick up the leaks in the future.

"Several field armies in Qianguo really can't spare their hands, but there are not a few soldiers from Song Yi, Lao, and Meng. If you want to build an army of 100,000 soldiers, it is not a problem! ”

"Is the military heart available?"

"You can worship Qin Feng as the general, supplemented by Meng Jiangxue from the Foreign Affairs Department, and lead the army to the expedition!"

"They are all subordinates, is Xie Dazai so relieved of them?"

Wang Anshi scoffed at Xie An's words, and ignored the many ministers in the palace, and said bluntly: "Today they surrendered to the Qianguo, so why do you think they will not switch to the Eastern Jin Dynasty again?" ”

"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. The minister just said what he thought, and everything was decided by the king. ”

Xie An arched his hand and said with a smile, he didn't have the idea of being hard in the court with his junior.

"Qin Feng and Meng Haixue's loyalty to Gu can be learned from heaven and earth, and there is no possibility of betrayal. It's just that in the opinion of loneliness, their army is slightly inferior, and they must not be the commander-in-chief."

Seeing that Xie An threw the question back, Zhang Shuo hesitated for a moment before speaking. Behind Qin Feng and Meng Jiangxue are the Henghai Group and the Meng Group, without the will of the upper echelons, it is impossible for them to pit themselves. At present, Zhang Shuo still owes the two groups hundreds of building ships, and they will definitely not make a move against Qianguo at this juncture.

After Zhang Shuo's careful consideration, Zhang Shuo decided to take the newly promoted Confucian general Wang Shao as the main commander, Liu Ye as the military advisor of the army, Qin Feng, Meng Jiangxue, Dongfang Bo, Bian Zhuangzi, Du Bao, Meng Haigong, Ma Saifei, Hua Yun, and Dong Ping as deputy generals, and gathered 200,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Half of these 200,000 troops were selected from the surrender armies of the Three Kingdoms, and half used Huaiyi warriors. In order to allow better cooperation between soldiers and generals, the generals used in the army, except for the commander Wang Shao and the military adviser Liu Ye, are also generals of the Three Kingdoms.

However, considering the many problems of the assembly of the army, the generals, the dispatch of grain and grass, etc., Zhang Shuo set the time for the crusade against the Eastern Jin Kingdom on September 15. Although Tian Bijiang once pleaded with Zhang Shuo to send troops in advance, Zhang Shuo bluntly refused.

At the same time, Zhang Shuo also put forward two requirements for Qi Guo. First, before September 15, Qi must clearly write down the agreement to give him the agreement to cede Haiqu and Junan to Qianguo. Second, the state of Qi must take the lead in launching a fierce attack and attract a part of the firepower before the cadres and soldiers will be dispatched.

In this negotiation, Zhang Shuo did not ask for benefits, but mainly controlled the dominance. And Zhang Shuo's two requests were also within the scope of Qi Guo's acceptance, and Tian Bijiang readily agreed.
