The state of Qin was tense and busy. A month later, Yuefeng's army marched south to Tongzhou Prefecture, where Yuefeng convened a pre-war conference to introduce the situation in the south of Tongzhou with a map.

Cheng Xian said: "A county in the southwest of Tongzhou, for the gorge, the river is rushing, and the mountains on both sides are forested, so now only 10,000 people are guarding. There are two counties in the southeast, Binhai in the east and Hukou in the west. The river level is gentle, the river surface is open, and each garrison has 30,000 soldiers, who take turns to guard the lower reaches of the Yangtze River day and night. ”

Yue Feng interjected and said: "Three hundred miles south of Tongzhou Mansion, why not set up a county?

Cheng Xian said: "This is a collection of border wastes. ”

Yue Feng thought to himself, so familiar, and said: "It's in an important place, why don't you capture it." If it can be captured, the defense of the Yangtze River will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Cheng Xian said: "Wait for me to speak." After listening to Yuefeng, everyone knew that there was such a place. ”

Originally, the border wasteland was a place where wandering people, robber rangers, salt merchants, and private merchants gathered. There are about 150,000 people, all of whom are fierce, and their people call the border wasteland set as the capital of freedom, which is only a place for commerce and trade, and will never invade.

Cheng Xian once raised 50,000 troops, sent troops to the border, and thought that the horse would be successful. But before the army reached the frontier, they saw 100,000 men and women, each armed with weapons, swords, guns, and halberds, arrayed to meet each other. Seeing that I could not do anything, I withdrew from the army, and then I had to go with it. Cheng Xian's daughter Cheng Yue once left home and sneaked into the border wilderness for half a year, and she has a better understanding of the border wilderness.

Cheng Yue looked at herself expectantly when she saw Yue Feng, and she came out first, her voice was like a clear spring, and she said: "The border wilderness is indeed magical, and most of the people in it are reluctant to leave." There is no emperor and no emperor in the border wilderness, and he relies on gold, knives and righteousness to speak. ”

"The west of the border wilderness is Xingyue Lake, the blue waves are hundreds of miles, and there is Xingri Island in the east of the lake, which is only two miles away from the border wilderness. South around the Yangtze River, the east is the low mountain gentle top, about 100 zhang high, the people of the border wilderness set up the building and the top of the mountain, the highest high platform is located on it, the name of the heavenly tower, the place of the border desert wind and moon on weekdays, the temporary stronghold of the border desert in wartime. ”

"The border wilderness is about 12 miles long from north to south, the north mouth is only about 5 miles narrow, and the south is wider, about 15 miles, because the south and west are water, and the east is mountain, so even if the north is only a low wall, it is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Yue Feng said: "How is the surroundings?"

Cheng Yue said: "The north and south are hundreds of miles of fertile fields, and the terrain is low and flat compared to the border wilderness. Yue Feng sighed: There is no hope for water attack. But Yue Feng is still interested in the border wilderness, especially the word freedom. Then he asked Cheng Yue: What is the situation in the border wasteland?"

Chengyue knew that Yue Feng was interested in the border wilderness, especially Xingyue Lake, and if he took the border wilderness, he could use it as the base of the Qin State Naval Army.

Cheng Yue said: "The border wilderness is indeed the capital of freedom, swordsmen and heroes, traders and pawns, and even scribes and rogues all gather in it. They are free and easy during the day, each making money according to their abilities, and indulging in carnivals at night, doing whatever they want. But they have their own rules, which are to enter the collection and not kill. That is, anyone who enters the market to kill people on the street will be surrounded and killed by people in the border wilderness. In case of disputes, rely on mediation or meet to fight to the death. In the event of a major event or invasion by outsiders, the people of the frontier will unite and hold a meeting in the central tower to listen to the order. The members of the Frontier Wasteland Conference are high-ranking people from all factions and walks of life in the Frontier Wilderness. When I left the border wilderness, Yan Fei and Ji Qianqian became the most famous people in the border wilderness meeting. ”

Yue Feng asked, "Yan Fei and Ji Qianqian, who are they?"

Cheng Yue said: "Yan Feiqi people, outstanding swordsmanship, it is rumored that he has entered the peak of the realm, he is bold, anxious for justice and justice, vigorous and resolute, and often judges disputes for people in the border wilderness. Ji Qianqian, a native of Jiangnan, is rumored to have grown up in Qinglou. This woman is talented and beautiful, and has good popularity, and was respected as a goddess by everyone in the border wilderness after reaching the border wilderness, and then worshiped Yan Fei as a teacher to learn martial arts, and then broke through the world, married Yan Fei, and became synonymous with freedom in the border wilderness. ”

Yue Feng pondered for a long time, and felt that the border was difficult to overcome. If it is occupied by force, it will also cost troops, and the gains outweigh the losses. Then he asked: "Can the river be cut off by Linxia and the water stored for flooding?"

Cheng Xian said: "The mountain is sandwiched by the river, and it descends steeply, the water is like a dragon, and the wide stone will go down with the river." Even if it is laborious to store water, the downstream is Xingyue Lake and the border wilderness, which is far lower than the border wilderness. It's hard to kill or injure anyone. ”

Yue Feng said: "If you take the border wilderness directly, and cross the river directly from the border desert things, how about it?"

Cheng Xian said: "The border is a hundred miles north of the wilderness, the army marched, before the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the Wu army has been waiting across the river, and the Wu army will not let us pass smoothly." ”

"What about a cavalry raid and a pontoon bridge?"

Cheng Xian said: "The river is about 50 meters wide, and it may be difficult to achieve. ”

Yue Feng said: "Then it is better to send a large number of spies to enter the border wasteland as organizations and individuals such as chambers of commerce, the so-called free city, as long as you understand it, it is easiest to collapse from the inside." And at any time, the possession of this city is an inevitable process. ”

Guo Jia saw that Yue Feng had no interest in the border wilderness, so he said: "If you send the assassin marquis to cross the river first, use the rope as a rope and build a bridge with wooden planks, you may also set up a pontoon bridge to cross." However, Wu Shuijun patrolled along the Yangtze River day and night, and only the army contained Wu Shuijun. However, even if our cavalry crossed the river, it was not able to attack the city, and the south bank of the Yangtze River was spying by Wu soldiers day and night, and after the cavalry was exposed, it could only be a short-range raid, which was also a problem. ”

Yue Feng was still studying the border wasteland, and said: "Since Wu has controlled the Yangtze River, why not besiege the border wilderness from the south of the border wilderness and the west Xingyue Lake and occupy important places?"

Cheng Xian said: "There are nearly 100,000 free soldiers in the border wilderness, and Dongwu does not want to spend troops to occupy a city without walls. And Wu's military strength is far weaker than our country, even if it occupies the border wilderness, this hundred miles of fertile fields is simply a treasure place for my cavalry to charge and gallop. ”

Yue Feng said: "What is the situation in Dongwu?"

Yue Lei said: "The total strength of the Eastern Wu State is about 350,000, the infantry is about 200,000, and the naval army is 1550,000. North of Huzhou, Wuzhou has about 80,000 infantry and 100,000 sailors. Huzhou west, Tiannan Prefecture west about 100,000 steps, to defend Xishu. The remaining 20,000 infantry and 50,000 sailors defended Fuzhou, Taiwan, and the coast of Wu. The Northern Army of Wu is now headed by Zhou Yu as the governor of the navy, Bai Qi as the commander of the infantry, and Wu Zixu as the deputy commander. The defense of Xishu was led by Lu Xun. ”

Yue Feng said: "In today's plan, there is a huge gap between our navy and Wu, and we must also consider the Wu army mobilizing other navy to block us." And I think that we should make full use of our infantry strength and general superiority, stretch the battle line, and fully mobilize the Wu army's sailors. In this way, the Wu army sailors will be forced to stretch along the Yangtze River because of the blockade of the river. Our armies kept trying, wandering across the river, and then entering from the sea with a naval army, crushing part of the Wu army. After that, we crossed part of the army, relying on the siege troops on both sides, to flank the river and help the navy to conquer Wu's water army. ”

Xiang Yu said: "This is the ideal situation. In my estimation, Wu Shuijun may not be able to volley everywhere. They only need to volley part of their forces. We will have few troops to cross the river, and there will be no catapults. The Wu army can be volleyed by infantry. Then these forces will even be surrounded to death. ”

Yue Feng said: "And Lu Xun's troops can also be transferred north, Sun Wu, this person, according to intelligence, the art of war is superb, once we come to the northern defense line of Wu, we are bound to be more difficult!"

After Yue Feng finished speaking, everyone was silent in thought.

After a while, Green Butterfly said: "In the land of Wuzhou, how wide is the Yangtze River?"

Cheng Xian said: "It is dozens of zhang narrow, and two hundred zhang wide." However, after passing the border barrenness, the terrain gradually flattened, and there was basically no river below 100 zhang. If our catapults can occupy both banks, they may be able to block the river in a narrower channel. ”

Ma Chao said: "The pre-war strategy is only a general strategy, adapt to the situation, and act when you see the situation! Why not put the army on it, even if we exchange soldiers for soldiers, and generals for generals, we occupy the land of 8 states, and we will definitely be able to consume Dongwu to death." ”

Yue Feng said: "Not bad. Even if it won't be consumed, if Shu is persuaded to take the opportunity to invade Wu, it will be a good plan. ”

Yue Feng said again: "In this case, our army set off to Hukou County, one of the two counties in the southeast. As for Binhai County to the east of Hukou County, when our army arrives, we will consider how to divide our troops to deal with it, anyway, there are about thousands of miles of Yangtze River in the south of the two counties, and the distance is enough to carry out a large-scale dispatch. In addition, the scouts need to blend into the southern section of the Yangtze River now, fight across the river, and the feedback of information is slower, so we need to establish as effective intelligence transmission as possible within the two days of our army's departure. ”

The generals were ordered, and each of them led his troops and began to prepare for the march. And Guo Jia stayed. Yue Feng held the green butterfly and said to Guo Jia: "I think there are some things I need to tell you." In history, Bai Qi is known as the god of killing, decisive in killing, fast in leadership, and full of courage. Wu Zixu is stoic and tenacious, extremely good at the art of war, and dispatches soldiers. Zhou Yu, although the novel exaggerates his early death, in fact, he is not only proficient in land and water, but also very powerful in cultural and martial arts. The most important is Sun Wu, who wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War, which has been passed down through the ages, and the Art of War has been used by him to the point of supernatural perfection, and has been regarded as a classic strategy tutorial by later generations. Lu Xun is in charge of the army, good at surprise attacks, and has a good view of the overall situation. ”

After Yue Feng finished speaking, Guo Jia knew why Yue Feng valued these five people so much, and also knew that this decisive battle was no longer the same as in the past, in the past, there were one or two strange people, which were difficult to do, and now Wu Guoniu has a bunch of people, if he relies on military superiority or pride and indulgence on his side, he may fail miserably!

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "I don't, but other generals may not be without contempt." I'll mention them. By the way, what kind of cows do we have, but me?"

Yue Feng and the green butterfly laughed, and Yue Feng said: "You are stinky and beautiful." But it's good to talk about it, and you can also help them avoid possible shortcomings. I'll just say it simply and clearly, the celebrities are as follows, you, Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu could have unified the whole country in history, but he was reckless and easy to kill, too gullible with people, and did not make good use of people, and was later surrounded and killed. After I leave, you can speak directly about Xiang Yu. Yu Ji is his wife's room, plain and unremarkable. Ma Chao, the general of the five tigers of Benshu, has outstanding cavalry and high force, but his personality is not as stable as Ma Chao today. Zhang Liao is the general of Cao Cao in the north, in a word, a fierce general. Dian Wei is Cao Cao's confidant, but there is little ink in history, and he is a brave and loyal general. Tuoba Gui was the king of a country in other eras, known for his ruthless management of the army and his treacherous marching. Xun Yu is Cao Cao's strategist, calm and capable, Zhang Yi is a family and a diplomat. Solemn I am afraid that Lu Bu is a god general, but Lu Bu is arrogant and repeatedly villainous. Diao Chan is the wife of Lu Bu and has a high intellectual charm. Others don't seem to know about it. ”

Guo Jia listened with relish and said, "Looking at it now, your appearance has completely affected them. Their weaknesses have shrunk, especially Xiang Yu, who has now completely changed all their faults. But I'll pay attention. ”

Yue Feng continued: "Well, don't worry too much, you might as well curb it when there are signs." Go ahead and get ready!"

Guo Jia also left in a hurry.
