In the inner hall, Yuwen Shihong actually didn't think about it that much.

In fact, what he thinks about is that Lingnan is barren, and there are no mines and no roads.

Lingnan, which broke away from the Great Zhou Dynasty and became independent, will naturally return to the state of bartering due to the barrenness of minerals.

Actively maintaining trade with the Lingnan area can enable Lingnan to circulate the five-baht coins and heavy treasures of the Great Zhou, so that Lingnan can maintain its dependence on Central Plains assets.

A few years later, the Central Plains cut off the flow and made Lingnan suddenly run out of money from relying on the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This will surely plunge Lingnan into even more serious turmoil than it is now, and after the traitors have exhausted their savings, they will have no choice but to surrender in the face of the powerful Zhou state.

Moreover, trade can also open up the Central Plains and the Lingnan area, and now the reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty has lost Guining and has not recovered it so far is not because there is no way out.

That is, the so-called rich first and then poor, peaceful united front!

……

The 50,000 forbidden army led by Tang Yong marched all the way to the southeast along the Hongshui River, a tributary of the Xiang River.

On the first day of March, it successfully arrived at the fork of the tributary of the Hongshui River into the Xiang River.

Earlier, Yang Jian, in order to prevent the army from the north, moved south along the waterway and cut off the Yanjiang River from Ningzhou to Longzhou.

At present, the water of the Xianghe River is running from south to north, and the twenty thousand-mile ships full of projection vehicles and black water tin balls are temporarily transferred from commercial to military.

Everyone didn't know what they would encounter along the waterway in front of them, because except for the three Hidden Pile Forbidden Army, who had trekked from Longzhou to Xinggu on foot, no one had ever set foot in such a wild place.

Xia Yuanyuan, the hidden pillar forbidden army, also faintly felt the huge pressure, whether to advance or temporarily stop the march of the march, send the forward army to investigate, and then continue to move forward, his opinion played a decisive role.

Tang Yong had been waiting for a long time to recover Guining, but after several revisions to his strategy, he finally decided not to attack Guining head-on, but to raid Longzhou instead.

With his bold style, with the artifact in hand, there is no need to investigate.

He called the three Hidden Stake Lieutenants and asked only a few questions.

For example, when they left Longzhou, the vigilance along the Xianghe River and the deployment of troops in Longzhou.

As well as the speed of aid from other states in Lingnan, whether the route for reinforcements to rush to Longzhou was smooth, etc., I only asked in general terms.

seems to be a sloppy question, but in fact, these questions are related to how Tang Yong arranges his troops.

The way is related to whether there will be a surprise attack from behind during the war.

And the speed of reinforcements determines how long and how he will fight this battle.

He has his own set of offensive and defensive tactics, which is the experience he summed up with actual combat when he fought in Mobei!

Mobei is a wasteland, the terrain is open and flat.

The army in front fought smoothly, but another army suddenly came from behind, completely cutting off the way for his division to retreat!

He's been through this kind of thing a few times!

Therefore, both offensive and defensive was his most effective strategy for protecting the army.

"Lord Commander, Longzhou and Ningzhou have Yanjiang River, and there are many local fishing boats, if the 20,000 troops stationed in Ningzhou decide to rush to Longzhou, send a message and reinforcements to rush, the final general will judge that they can come to Longzhou in two days."

"And Guizhou also has 20,000 troops stationed, because if Guizhou wants to come to Longzhou, it needs to arrive in Ningzhou by land, and then go south to the south in the way that Ningzhou leads to Longzhou, so it can be arrived in three days at most."

"And in other places, the most important thing to guard against should be Dingzhou, Dingzhou has the Pearl River from south to north, at the fork of the Pearl River into the Yanjiang River, send a message and gallop to rush to help, it should also be able to arrive in two days."

"In the rest of the states, except for the four states with waterways, the other more than ten states have only land routes, and land routes are not so easy to walk."

All in all, if you want to make a quick decision, you must achieve the offensive that Tang Yong wants within three days.

Yuwen Shihong had an order to recover Guining, and Longzhou originally belonged to the Chen State, even if it started, it was to seize the access to the Yanjiang River, reach Ningzhou, and then reach Guizhou to the east.

It belongs to curve operations.

"Good!" Tang Yong has already formed a careful strategy in his heart:

"The reinforcements all thought that it was Longzhou that caught fire, and our army had already attacked Ningzhou!"

"Since the Ningzhou reinforcements will take the water route and fight on the water...... Fresh! ”

In the water war, Tang Yong's first thought was the defeat of the Qi naval army in the Battle of the Yellow River.

In terms of water warfare, no one can defeat the Great Zhou Empire!

"Those who are above the captain of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army! Gather! ”

After Tang Yong had a complete combat strategy in mind, he immediately ordered the assembly of all the captains!

"From one to twenty all carry out water operations, each one is a thousand-mile ship! Anyone who sees a city tower will attack immediately! ”

"Twenty-one to forty capitals, coastal land battles! Van Cheng Tower! See it! Destroy! ”

"Forty-one to fifty are the main forces in the rear, waiting for most of the advance to overcome the enemy who is coming to block! Across Longzhou! Another way straight to Ningzhou! ”

"The whole army has formed a trend of flanking attacks from the west and south! Surround the southwest sides of Ningzhou! Block the south sewer road to prevent the enemy from escaping! ”

"With a fierce offensive! Force the traitors to surrender! ”

"Prepare now! It's nightfall! Strike now! ”

At the sound of an order, all the lieutenants hurriedly gathered their own thousands of soldiers under their command!

A thousand people, a thousand miles of ship! Each thousand-mile ship is equipped with a projection vehicle, as well as 100 black water tin balls!

On the other hand, the firecrackers stand on the side of the deck in unison, just like they did during training! Wipe out the enemies in the distance with a firebolt!

……

In the Guizhou Governor's Mansion, Yang Jian is still anxious about how to strengthen his own power.

Yuwen Shihong's essence of a strong country he has learned, nothing more than to use the new system to calm the people, to secure the people to become rich and strong, and to raise elite soldiers with prosperity.

But he did not have the conditions to emulate the details of governing the country -

Just the money for his hairstyle made his backyard catch fire everywhere, and the cronies and staff sent to the states had no way to deal with it, so they could only lead their troops to "extinguish the fire" by force wherever it caught fire.

But this is not a long-term solution, if it goes on for such a long time, let alone become rich and strong, the people under its rule will be reduced to a state of bartering!

As soon as the night fell, the exhausted Yang Jian had just laid down and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried running footsteps outside the bedroom.

Turning his head to look at the door of the dormitory, the torches from the barracks reflected the courtyard outside the dormitory.

"My lord! Something is wrong! There's a heavy attack from the north! ”

As soon as he heard this, Yang Jian was shocked and sat up directly!

"North? The forbidden army of the Zhou State, or the local government soldiers of the surrounding states and counties? Yang Jian was in a hurry, and his brain seemed to be blocked.

The lieutenant who came to report the situation said anxiously:

"The State of Zhou has long abolished the government military system, it is a forbidden army! Heavily armed Praetorian Army! ”

"It's attacking Longzhou by water! Presumably at this moment, Longzhou, which only has thousands of city defense troops, has already been captured! ”

Yang Jian was shocked, and he didn't expect that the target of the Zhou State Forbidden Army was not Guizhou and Ningzhou.

But Longzhou?!

He hurriedly rushed out of the dormitory in a hurry, and led a group of accompanying strategists to prepare a carriage to prepare for it!

"My lord, where are you going?"

But when he got into the carriage, the groom didn't know where the destination was, and Yang Jian was stunned by the groom's question for a while.
