The establishment of Wuyi Division was not achieved overnight in a short period of time, whether it was to decide the position of the official office or the composition of personnel, Sun Ning gave power to Guo Chong and was handled by him.

As the so-called employment is not doubtful, since it has been decided to make Guo Chong the chief of the Wuyi Division who supervises hundreds of officials in the world, Sun Ning must give him 100% trust. It's just that in this way, the time required will naturally be long, and it will be difficult to form a framework in less than a year and a half.

As far as the current Dayue Imperial Court is concerned, the situation can no longer allow them to delay for so long, just to sort out their internal powers, a large area in the north that has been flawed due to the internal strife of the Liangzhou Army and the Zonghenghui, and they are still waiting for them to send troops to attack it as soon as possible.

On this day in early April, Sun Ning gathered his ministers and made his decision clear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we successfully took all parts of Jiangnan last year, our imperial army has been here for too long. Now it's time to move on north and sweep away more rebels! ”

This sentence made the expressions of the ministers in the palace change, and some people felt excited, and their eyes lit up; There are also many people with a little worry and retreat, muttering about what to say, but they don't have the courage.

Everyone's reaction was naturally all taken into Sun Ning's eyes, but he remained silent and continued: "I know that whether it is in the court or among the people, there have been many rumors that people are content with the status quo recently.

"Yes, now we are more comfortable, we are sitting on a large area of cities in the southwest and south of the Yangtze River, we are strong and strong, and we are rich in money and food, so we don't have to worry about our livelihood at all. Moreover, there is also the natural danger of the Yangtze River, even the enemy in the north does not dare to act rashly, and it is enough to have a corner of peace.

"But I will never be satisfied with this status quo, and I also believe that every loyal and good court will not be satisfied with only two cities in this area, and the people of both places are under the rule of my Dayue court.

"Those rebellious and rebellious thieves, ghosts and foreign tribes, they take away my country and harm my people, if the court does not send troops to attack them, I am afraid that they will really make them sit big, and more people in the north will be cold.

"Therefore, I have decided to take advantage of the turmoil in the north when the north is still in the midst of the defeat of the Zonghenghui, and when my armies have rested and recuperated enough, and the soldiers are well fed, I will go north again and take the cities of Lianghuai and Lianghu one by one.

"My ultimate goal will never change, that is, to return to the old capital and return to Luoyang!"

The emperor's attitude was already very clear, and it could be said that he had made up his mind to go north, which made those officials who still wanted to persuade and oppose it, or wanted to say that they needed to wait a little longer before going north.

But those who were already with Sun Ning were really excited at this time.

Yan Hu took the lead in stepping out of the minister's class: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister also thinks that now is the best time to use troops against the north." Now there are loyal ministers in the cities of Huainan who are loyal to the imperial court, as long as the imperial court is sending troops, the ministers think that they can even take half of Huainan without bloodshed.

"If Your Majesty sends troops north, the minister is willing to be the vanguard!"

Shen Zhou also stood up to express his support: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it is the right time to send troops at this time. As far as the minister knows, in the Huaibei area, the remnants of the Zonghenghui are still making their final struggles, and they are also fighting with the Liangzhou army for some cities, making it difficult for them to be distracted from the south.

"As long as the imperial court sends troops fast enough, it can take Huainan in October, and even expand the results of the battle and take back a large area of the two lakes!"

With this Wen Yiwu and the two important ministers expressing their positions one after another, the other ministers had no worries and expressed their support one after another. Only a few dozen officials, who were originally born in Jiangnan and were not interested in the north, remained silent.

Sun Ning is still very satisfied with such a result: "What you said is very right, now is the perfect time for the imperial court to go north and seize the two Huai and two lakes."

"Therefore, I decided to go out in three ways this time, and in the shortest possible time, I will capture all the two Huai and two lakes!"

"Huh? Your Majesty thought twice......" Shen Zhou was suddenly startled and blurted out to persuade.

Even Yan Hu, who was gearing up, also changed color, and he didn't expect Sun Ning's handwriting to be so big this time.

In their conception, the so-called Northern Expedition was naturally the same as the previous unification of the southwest, the army was assembled, all the way to the north, and the absolute superiority of the imperial army was devastating and conquering one city after another.

But His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't think so, his Northern Expedition this time was obviously more complicated, and the use of troops was bound to be much more.

Sun Ning smiled, and with a wave of his hand, a palace guard hung a huge map on the wall on the side of the main hall and unfolded it. And at this moment he walked slowly, stood under the map, took a long wooden pole, and clicked on the map.

"I have been discussing with several generals for a period of time, and many people believe that if the troops are used according to the convention, although they can take the entire territory of Huainan with the general situation, the Liangzhou Army and the Pingtian Army will inevitably send troops to intervene after that. In this way, whether it is Huaibei or Lianghu, if you want to take it again, it will consume several times the time and troops.

"Then it's better to take advantage of all the rebellions before they are prepared, go forward in multiple ways, and kill them by surprise!

"And the plan I made was to march all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to the north and take the cities of Huainan as quickly as possible. During this period, when encountering a city that can be quickly captured, it will naturally be obtained, and if it encounters stubborn resistance, it can leave an army to be contained, and after the army has taken down all the other cities, the one or two cities will not be attacked.

"Then there is the Second Route Army, which sent troops from the southwest Sichuan and Shu areas, and the target is naturally the Huxiang area bordering it. Although this place was also occupied by the Liangzhou army two years earlier, the local people, officials and people are still loyal to the imperial court, and the barbarians in the southwest are the best at fighting the enemy in the mountains and fields with complex terrain, so it should not be too difficult for Huxiang to fight with them. ”

As he spoke, Sun Ning's long pole also pointed back and forth on the map, and many people were shocked to see it.

His Majesty the Emperor's use of troops is too bold, and he actually directly let the southwest barbarians attack as the main force, is he not afraid that he will not be able to control these guys in the future, so that the southwest and Xianghu will have another accident?

It's just that at this time, they can't interrupt the emperor's speech, so they can only continue to listen to him lay out the last way with a little uneasiness.

And Sun Ning really didn't mean to hide it, and the long pole quickly moved up, crossing from Xianghu Lake to Huguang in the north.

"On the third road, I intend to let the real elite come to lay down Huguang. They first took a boat detour, and then after entering the boundary of the lake and the vast land, they went ashore to attack, first laid down one or two cities as fast as they could, established a firm foothold, and then steadily advanced forward.

"In this way, we can reach a joint situation with the Jiangnan army that defeated Huainan, and besiege Huaibei and the main control area of the Liangzhou army left and right!"

Some people died, but not completely......
