When he said this, Sun Ning's eyes suddenly looked forward again, and there was a little excitement and agitation in his tone.

"This time the attack by Sichuan, Shu and Jiangnan has the intention of capturing more cities, but in the final analysis, they are just a trick.

"No matter what Guo Yan chooses after learning about the battle situation of several sides, their attention will inevitably fall on Huaishui and the two lakes, so that their troops and horses will also be transferred to the south.

"Even if he makes up his mind not to save the two lakes, he will definitely concentrate his forces to defend north of Huaishui - because for him now, Liangzhou is no longer the focus, Huaibei is the foundation.

"In this way, Liangzhou is bound to be empty, as long as we can break through along the canal to the left of Luoshui, and then march by night and day, and roll the armor to break through, we will be able to kill the defenders of Liangzhou by surprise and take down this most important city of his Guo clan!"

Sun Ning retracted his gaze at this time and looked at Chen Qingyun in front of him: "You say, if Liangzhou is really lost, what will it mean to the Liangzhou army that is still on the front line of Huaishui? Their family members are all in Liangzhou, and then the army will be in turmoil, and everyone will want to return!

"At that time, our army will take advantage of the situation to pursue and annihilate all the enemy on the way back. Retreat can also take the opportunity to pocket a large area of Huaibei, thus greatly weakening the combat strength of the Liangzhou army. So as to completely enter the Central Plains and take the most critical step to return to Luoyang!

"You say, isn't it worth taking a risk when such a great opportunity is in front of us? Moreover, all the soldiers I led this time were the most elite armor soldiers in the imperial army, and we entered Luo by water, which saved a lot of physical strength, and it was an unexpected surprise attack, so we will be able to take Liangzhou in the fastest time and at the lowest cost!"

This can be regarded as Sun Ning's overall plan to send troops this time.

It was also at this time that Chen Qingyun fully understood how subtle the emperor's big game of chess was, and his emotions became excited.

But then, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty's plan is extremely subtle, but there are still considerable risks. For the sake of His Majesty's grace and for the sake of the Dayue River, the ministers are naturally willing to take risks, but you are ......."

"I must go together, otherwise how can I motivate the soldiers below and let them fight for their lives?" Sun Ning immediately interrupted the other party's statement, and said, "The imperial court army is not as strong as the Liangzhou army, and it is fighting deep into the enemy's territory, if it can't arouse the heart of the whole army, the chances of victory will be greatly reduced.

"This is only when Liangzhou is captured, and there is also the defense of the city after the capture of the city. At that time, we are alone in Liangzhou, and we must have the heart to defend resolutely and deal with the enemy in the Ten Norths surrounded on all sides, and then we need the emperor to stimulate the hearts of the soldiers to fight a decisive battle.

"Therefore, this time the strange army entered Liangzhou, I need to accompany the army and command the battle, instead of staying in Jinling and enjoying peace!"

"Your Majesty—" Chen Qingyun was moved, and his mood was even more agitated.

In fact, not only him, but also the generals in and outside the hall also listened to the emperor's words, so that they were not only impressed by the wise decision of His Majesty the emperor, but also admired his bravery and fearlessness, and his determination to live and die with the soldiers.

Just ask, who doesn't want to have such a master?

Sun Ning slapped Chen Qingyun's shoulder again: "But when you really get to the formation of the two armies, the command still has to rely on you."

"I will do my best not to disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Do you know that I have already named my unborn child, and if it is a prince, it will be called Sun Huai. Because I believe that when he is born, the two Huai will be in the hands of my court!"

Sun Ning smiled proudly: "And I have already thought of a name for my second child, named Sun Luo."

Chen Qingyun immediately understood the meaning of this name, that is, His Majesty the Emperor hoped that by the time the next prince was born, the Dayue Imperial Court would have returned to Luoyang!

The two of them were in a state of agitation, when a shout suddenly sounded outside: "Everyone be careful, you have entered the Tiger Leaping Gorge!"

With this roar, the speed of the ship, which had been moving smoothly, suddenly shook, and the speed quickly became slow.

Seeing this, Sun Ning's expression was also solemn, and he hurriedly walked out of the hall located on the fifth floor of the building ship, looked outside, and found that this Tiger Leaping Gorge was indeed a dangerous beach.

The Cao River, which used to have a gentle and open current, suddenly narrowed here, shrinking by more than half compared to the river before and after.

In such a strong contrast, the section of the river where the fleet was located for several miles was really like a tiger could leap across at both ends.

But in fact, the river was still several miles wide, enough for the huge sea ships to pass by.

However, the current under the ship suddenly became turbulent here, rushing from the front, blocking the momentum of the boat.

This is the most serious impact of Tiger Leaping Gorge on big ships.

Because the waterway of the Cao River suddenly narrows by nearly half here, and the north and south of the river happen to be located in a relatively large drop, the water flow here also becomes turbulent, and there are invisible turbulence from time to time.

This makes it more and more difficult for the big ship with a very deep draft to travel here, and if it is not good, it may even capsize.

Only those who have been begging for a living on the water all year round, have strong control over boating against the current, and have a good understanding of the environment around Tiger Leaping Gorge can make the most correct response at this time.

Obviously, Qian Zongliu, or the crew he led, had such a master.

At this time, he was standing firmly in the bow of the ship, constantly shouting, issuing orders one by one.

And the dozens of crew members on the ship are also performing their own duties, trying to control the huge sails and the rudder at the rear, constantly avoiding and adjusting.

A trumpet sounded from one ship to another, and then the ships loaded with soldiers and supplies began to travel in a rather strange way.

This caused the people on each boat to sway upside down, and they could only quickly support the side of the boat or furniture around them to keep themselves stable. It's just that for many soldiers who are not used to riding on the boat, this kind of support is still not enough, and after a while, many people vomit on the spot because of seasickness.

It was Sun Ning, whose face also became a little pale at this time, and he could only forcibly stabilize his figure.

He knew that this way of repeatedly changing direction was also out of helplessness, otherwise he would not be able to cross the Tiger Leaping Gorge with the help of the wind against the current.

And when the Cao River was still lively earlier, there was originally a safest way to pass here, which was to hire a slender man to drag the boat against the current, but now it seems that this is obviously unrealistic, because there is no Cao Gong slender man on both sides of the Cao River for a long time-

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few figures suddenly appearing in the barren grass and rocks on the side, and the number was increasing!

"There is still 。。。。。 at night"
