Back home.

Li Cun told Chen Hoop Bucket about his battle plan to go north to attack the Yangtze River, and even told Chen Hoop Bucket that he was going to send a large army to lock Xiuzhou City and that he had found a suitable internal response in Suzhou and Huzhou.

Although Li Cun knows very well that if the king is not secret, he will lose the country, and if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will succeed.

But looking at history, it can be easily analyzed that Chen Hoop is at most a spy sent by Fang La, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be a spy sent by Zhao Song.

And Li Cun had already sent someone to tell Fang La that the Zhao Song Dynasty had hoarded 150,000 western troops in Beijing's Daimyo's mansion, and asked Fang La to go west to occupy Xiangyang as soon as possible, blocking the possibility of the Song army going south from the middle road.

In this case, Li Cun will definitely not be afraid to tell Chen Hoop Bucket about his plan, and let Chen Hoop Bucket help him pick up the missing pieces.

Moreover, this can also allow Li Cun to further collect the heart of Chen Hoop Bucket, a rather strategic strategist.

Really!

Seeing that Li Cun trusted him so much, and discussed the most confidential matters with him as soon as he came up, Chen Hoop was extremely moved!

In order to repay Li Cun for his kindness, Chen Hoop Bucket thought for a while after listening to all of Li Cun's plans, and then suggested: "If you are invincible, keep it; The victor is also attacked. The rules are insufficient, but the offense is more than enough. ”

Speaking of this, Chen pointed out the many places along the Yangtze River that needed to be defended, and then said: "If you want to defend the river, you must have hundreds of thousands of troops. ”

Chen hoop pointed at Xiangyang again: "If Xiangyang does not exist." Then he swiped his finger along the Yangtze River: "This line is difficult to keep." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Hoop Bucket suddenly stretched out his two short index fingers.

Then, one index finger went up the Yangtze River to Xiangyang, and then went straight up to Zhao Song's Beijing Daimyo's mansion; The other index finger went directly from Zhenjiang and went north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, aiming directly at Tokyo Bianliang City, the capital of Zhao and Song dynasties.

In the end, Chen hoop bucket shook his hands and undertook the momentum of encircling the Central Plains.

Seeing that Chen Hoop Bucket proposed that the best defense is to attack, rather than defending along the Yangtze River, it is better to lead the army across the river to smash Huanglong, and lead the war directly to Jiangbei and to the Central Plains, Li Cun couldn't help but admire Chen Hoop's boldness, and even felt that he liked the sword to go sideways, and his strategic vision might still be above General Lu.

The key is that if Li Cunzhen can lead the war to the Central Plains, even if he can't take down Tokyo Bianliang City, or even the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion, it will definitely make Zhao Song Junchen chaotic, and then he will do his best to extinguish the war in the Central Plains.

At that time, Li Cun and Fang La only needed to take the opportunity to push the defense line to the Huaihe-Qinling line, and then deploy a small number of defenders, Zhao Song would definitely not be able to move south in a short time.

In this way, Li Cun can gain valuable time for development, and Li Cun can unify the Jiangnan region in one fell swoop, and even destroy Fang La to unify the entire south.

I have to say that Chen Cun's plan is so tempting that it can't help but make Li Cun's index finger move.

But in the end, Li Cun shook his head gently.

Seeing that Li Cun disagreed with his plan, Chen Hoop couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and even couldn't help but think: "Am I wrong, the general is not the one who has achieved great things?" ”

Li Cun didn't look at the change in Chen Hoop's expression, but directly poked his finger at the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion: "I have reliable information that there are 150,000 Western troops here ready to go, and if they are dispatched, the front army will arrive in Zhenjiang on the 15th and Xiangyang on the 10th." ”

"What?"

Chen Hoop's pupils suddenly shrank!

All of Chen Hoop's previous plans were based on the fact that Zhao Song had not yet prepared.

Just like what Fang La said during the uprising.

After receiving the report, it was impossible for the Zhao and Song courts to immediately decide to send troops, and it was expected that it would take at least more than a month to delay and gather for discussion; If we mobilize and train the army and transfer food and wages, it will be impossible to send out a large army without half a year.

At that time, the situation on Li Cun's side should have been basically stable, and he could calmly deal with all the strategic tactics of Zhao Song.

Moreover, without the financial support of the Jiangnan region, the Zhao and Song dynasties had neither money and food to maintain operations, nor money and food to support the army.

In this way, whether the Zhao and Song dynasties can still send out a large army is a question.

Also, with the financial supply of the south cut off, it is impossible for the Zhao Song Dynasty to pay tribute to the Liao State and the Western Xia, in that case, maybe the Liao State and the Western Xia will also send troops to fight the Zhao Song Dynasty.

At that time, Li Cun will raise troops from the south again, and the three families will be attacked, and the Zhao and Song dynasties will definitely perish.

As long as Li Cun takes the Yangtze River as the boundary, guards the south, reduces labor, reduces taxes, and enables the people to restore and develop their manpower and material resources, he will definitely be able to unify the world.

But the premise of all this is based on the premise that the Zhao and Song dynasties could not send out a large army in a short time.

On the contrary, if it is really as Li Cun said, the 150,000 Western Army ready to attack can reach Jiangnan in half a month, then all Chen Hoop's plans will be utopian, because there is not enough time.

Don't forget, Li Cun hasn't sent troops yet.

Also, if Li Cun and Zhao Song send troops at the same time now, don't look at Li Cun's distance is much shorter, and he can also take the waterway, but it's really hard to say whether Li Cun will arrive along the Yangtze River first, after all, the Song army does not need to fight when it crosses, and Li Cun may not say what kind of resisting army will delay Li Cun's marching speed.

Chen Hoop Bucket thought a little unwillingly: "Maybe the general's news is wrong, how could the Song Dynasty hoard the Western Army in Beijing?" ”

But Chen Hoop Bucket immediately thought of one thing, that is, Li Cun knew in advance that he was going to come to vote in order to prepare such a big welcome ceremony.

Chen Hoop Bucket carefully recalled the bits and pieces of his journey, and finally locked the picture on the tea stall: "That tea house is an intelligence collection center!" ”

Chen hoop bucket glanced at Li Cun: "Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, no leakage, amazing!" ”

This time, Chen Hoop no longer doubted Li Cun's news, because he had already determined that Li Cun attached great importance to the collection of news, so it was impossible for him to make a mistake in such a big matter.

At this time, Li Cun also told Chen Hoop that the Zhao Song Dynasty was preparing to go north to recover Yanyun so that it was stationed in the Western Army in the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing.

Chen Hoop Bucket suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but secretly complain that Fang Laxuan's uprising time was not good, if it was a few months late, after the Song Liao fight, and then revolted, it would be impossible for the Zhao and Song Dynasty not to perish.

Now......

Chen Hoop looked at Li Cun: "Since the general knows that the Western Army will go south in a few days, and he is still confident, he must have something to rely on, and there should still be a chance for an uprising." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Hoop couldn't help but look at the Jingxiang area.

Li Cun understood that Chen Hoop was asking himself, why didn't he go to Jingxiang and ask Fang La to go to Jingxiang?

It's no wonder that Chen Hoop Bucket has this question, in fact, compared with the southeast, in fact, the strategic location of Jingxiang is more important, and it is more suitable as a place to make a fortune.

After all, if you get Jingxiang, you can fight wherever you want, and you can rely on all kinds of natural hazards to hold on, and really achieve the advance can be attacked and retreated, unlike here in Hangzhou, as long as the Song army crosses the Yangtze River, you can go straight to Hangzhou along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In this regard, Li Cun could only smile bitterly: "Variable, Fang Laye." ”

Li Cun can go to Jingxiang.

But if Li Cun goes to Jingxiang, Fang La will definitely come to Liangzhejiang.

History has proven that Fang La can't hold the two Zhejiang.

If Zhao Song recovers Jiangnan, then Zhao Song can attack Li Cun from the west, north, and east, and at that time, Li Cun will face the death situation in history where Fang La was finally encircled and suppressed, and there was nowhere to escape.

And Li Cun came to Jiangnan and Fang La went to Jingxiang, in case the situation really reached the point where it was irreversible, Li Cun could still retreat to Taiwan, and then develop for a few years, and then find an opportunity to kill back.

Moreover, from the perspective of Li Cun, a later generation, Jingxiang, who can only dig in the soil, is destined to be a poor land, even if it is Li Cun, he may have to save ten or eight years to save money to unify the world, and the southeast where maritime trade can be engaged is different, at most three years, Li Cun will definitely be able to earn enough money to unify the world.

Actually-

Speaking of which, there is still no one in Li Cun's hands who can be a general on his own.

If Li Cun really had a capable and reliable general in his hands, Li Cun could have directly divided his troops, sent the general to Jingxiang, and came to Jiangnan himself, and Li Cun could now partially adopt Chen Hoop's suggestion and send a partial division to the Central Plains to ignite the war and share his own pressure.

But the question is, who can take on this great responsibility among these people under Li Cun?
