knew that the emperor was in a hurry, but Zhang Taiwei didn't know that the emperor was in such a hurry.

Let's not talk about Lianghuai, it is estimated that it will only take a month for Yue to fly to Xiangyang...... Urgently report to the whole army, plus the deployment of defenses along the river, as well as food and salary raising and other big and small matters.

In just one month, where can I do it!

This Northern Expedition is said to be a three-front operation, but everyone knows in their hearts that only Xiangfan Tang Deng, plus Xinyang, where Liu Jian is located, is the real main battlefield.

It is the closest to Bianjing, and it is also the place where the Jin people's army is stationed.

As for the two Huai, it only plays a role of containment and assistance.

Thinking that the emperor has lived a peaceful life for a few years, I am afraid that he has forgotten the bitterness of the war and chaos.

Zhang Jun cleared his throat and said in a low voice:

"Official, even if we want to send troops, we will also know that Han Liangchen and they are the same, even if we really take Shouzhou, won't it also conflict with the Northern Expedition!"

Zhang Taiwei had a very strategic vision, and the emperor took a piece of paper and a book in humiliation, and risked the reputation of betraying the alliance, just to take a chance.

If this opportunity is only wasted on one Shouzhou...... It's really a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens.

"And ......" Zhang Jun seemed to remember something, "the Jin people don't seem to be careless, the spies sent out by the minister have already probed several times, and the defense of Shouzhou City seems to be tighter than last year." ”

Originally, I wanted to send some people into the city first, and finally come to meet the inside and outside, so that the result would be twice the result with half the effort.

But the city defense of Shouzhou is so strict, people can go in, but the blades and armor are not even thought about.

In addition, the scout on the opposite side has been staring at this side, as long as the ship on this side moves, then Shouzhou City must be able to know.

In this way, there seems to be no other way than hard fighting.

Listening to Zhang Jun's words, Liu Bang lowered his head and thought for a while.

It is naturally best for the people of the Jin country to be lax, but they are still on guard at all times, which also shows that they are not straw bales.

Looking at the map again, Shouzhou and Shouchun County are only separated by a river, almost face to face.

To the east of Shouzhou City, the Huai River happened to turn a corner, so that both the south and east sides were blocked by water.

"How many defenders are there in the city?"

Zhang Jun glanced at Wang De, Wang Yasha was a demon Yasha to the Jin people and others, but when he really came to the emperor, he became a little speechless.

Some stammered, "Three, three thousand." ”

"Three Thousand ......"

This amount is about the same as I imagined, after all, this is almost the barrier of Bozhou, but this city is too small.

There were three thousand, and with the men and men of the city, there were almost five thousand.

The real army should be the tens of thousands of people in Bozhou City.

The distance between the two places is 400 miles, as long as it takes three days, as long as Shouzhou City can hold out for three days, the reinforcements from Bozhou will be able to support it.

In other words, within three days, they have to take Shouzhou.

Liu Bang is a person who is very fast in everything except in bed, especially in battle.

What people seem to be particularly troublesome, he looks very simple.

Whether it is a clever plan or terrain feng shui, whether it is the morale of the army or the gap between the enemy and us, such as Han Xin and Zhang Liang, there will always be a lot to consider.

He will only think about two things, whether he can fight or not, and whether he can beat it.

The disadvantage of leading an army like this is that it is easy to lose the battle.

And the benefits...... It's just one word:

Fast.

From August of the first year of the Han Dynasty to April of the second year of the Han Dynasty, he attacked Hanoi, captured Sima Wei (ang), crossed Yinjin and Luoyang, and then took time to mourn for Emperor Yi, and finally met the princes to go outside Pengcheng, the capital of Xiang Yu......

Yes, it only took half a year.

Of course, this is a good job with a series of performances such as burning plank roads, anyway, when he came out of Sanqin, the princes had already started to work with Xiang Yu.

Later, when he fought with the Huns, he was also fast, so fast that he left everyone else behind and surrounded himself in the encirclement of others.

Now faced with this situation, he began to ask himself again in his heart:

Can you fight?

Of course you can fight, it's just a fucking town.

Can you beat it?

Zhang Jun has 70,000 or 80,000 people under his command, leaving 20,000 people to defend in the south, and the rest of the people are almost ten to fight one, and what the hell can't be beaten?

He already had a plan in his heart, and he just wanted to speak, but Pharmacist Guo, who had been bowing his head, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the little old man has an idea."

Zhang Jun has never had a good impression of this old man, but he didn't know his identity, and he saw that the emperor was close to him...... Well, the reason why he didn't like it was because he was close to the emperor.

Now seeing that he wants to speak first, where is he willing to let him be in the limelight!

Hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister also has a plan!" ”

Wang De, who was on the side, gently tugged on Captain Zhang's sleeve...... After following this for several years, I know that Zhang Taiwei is not only harder than Liu Guangshi, but it is also harder, at least he dares to show his knife with Jin Ren.

The rest of the time, most of them are thinking about how and when to return.

Now that the emperor killed Qin Hui, and said what would happen to the people who blocked his revenge, if Zhang Jun provoked the emperor at this time...... No matter how you say it, Zhang Jun still has nothing to say to his subordinates, so Wang De wants to stop him, anyway, what he said may not be right, but if he doesn't say it, it must be good.

Don't lose face again.

And Liu Bang ...... He took this old man with him, and he didn't expect him to play any role, but it was rare to have such a sensitive person, in case, if someone in Lin'an knew his identity, and the group of old men slaughtered him, it would not be good.

The people of the Song Kingdom hated Guo Yaoshi, but Liu Bang did not; The people of the Song Kingdom blamed him, but Liu Bang did not blame him.

Seeing him talking like this now, I remembered that the old boy was the first general of the Song Kingdom after all, and in terms of his record against the Jin people, except for Yue Fei, Liu Jian and Han Shizhong, no one can compare to him.

However, seeing Zhang Jun's earnest look, Liu Bang waved his hand:

"The captain said first."

Zhang Jun glared at Pharmacist Guo proudly, and then broke away from Wang De's hands:

"The minister doesn't dare to hide it, since Lin'an arrived in this Shouchun, the minister has been thinking about how to ...... it."

Mrs. Zhang thought about it for a while, and finally remembered how to describe it:

"How to outwit Shoucheng! Thanks to the official family's daily teaching, I really let the old minister come up with it! ”

Liu Bang gave him a blank look: "Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, hurry up and get down to business!" ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly said yes, and then pointed to the map and said:

"Let's take this place first!"

As he spoke, his fingers slowly moved from Shouchun's left side to Shunchang Mansion, which is the location of Yingzhou.

"When we take here, even if Bozhou City sends troops, we will come to Yingzhou first."

"Since we have a lot of people, we can divide our troops and wait in Shouchun, as long as Bozhou City sends troops, it will be much easier for us to take Shouzhou again."

"When the time comes, you can go north from Shouzhou, take Bozhou directly, and call the dog thieves in Bozhou City to take care of their heads and tails!"

Zhang Jun's method is to give up the plan at the beginning and take Bozhou in the fastest time......

Liu Bang's eyes narrowed slightly, Wang De coughed several times, and even Pharmacist Guo frowned a little.

It's not that Zhang Jun's suggestion is, it's just that this place is ......

In the peace conference before this year, the Jin people returned almost all the south of the Yellow River to the Song State, and later Wanyan Wushu killed the Jin lord and sent ministers, tore up the peace treaty and invaded the south again.

At that time, this Shunchang Mansion had been handed over to the Great Song Dynasty.

It was there that Liu Jian won the most beautiful battle in his life and since the Song and Jin wars.

Originally, Liu Jian was going to Kaifeng to be his Tokyo guard, but when he learned the news in Shunchang, he immediately entered the city to defend it.

At that time, there were only 20,000 people in the Bazi Army under Liu Kuan's command, and no more than 5,000 could fight...... However, the vanguard army that had completed Yan Wushu was severely damaged several times, forcing the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, who was originally sitting in Kaifeng and preparing an army of 100,000 for Yue Fei, to personally lead his troops to help.

Thereupon...... Jin Wushu was defeated in successive battles, and Shunchang, who had arrived on June 7, ordered that he would have breakfast in the city on the 9th.

What else did he say After the city was broken, the women heard that the generals were taken captive, and the men were all killed.

As a result, he never entered the city and fled in disgrace.

This battle perfectly responded to Wu Lan, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong on both wings, and the Song State truly achieved a complete victory on four fronts.

Liu Kuang, because of this war, was promoted to the commander of the Ma Military Division.

However, last year, when Uncle Liu Xin was there, he encouraged the people in the city again, and scuttled the boat he brought, giving the people of Shunchang Mansion an attitude of never giving up on them.

In addition, Jin Wushu gave the order to slaughter the city, so that the army and the people worked together to fight this battle.

It can be said that without the help of the people of Shunchang Mansion, it is absolutely not enough to rely on Liu Kuo's little people.

In the battle of Shunchang, the enemy was shocked and lost, and the treasures of Yan were taken to the north, intending to donate Yan to the south and abandon it...... Almost let the people of the Jin Kingdom return the land of Yanyun.

But......

Last time, the emperor did not allow everyone to go on a northern expedition, summoning the generals to return to Lin'an, and Liu Jian sent troops to aid Yue Fei before, so Shunchang had no soldiers at all.

As soon as the war between the two countries stopped, except for the two states of Shang and Qin occupied by Wu Lan and the two states of Tang and Deng occupied by Yue Fei, the rest of the state capitals were returned.

Naturally, it also includes this Shunchang Mansion.

What the people in the city thought, Liu Bang didn't know, and there was no definite news about how many people had been executed.

But the only thing he knows is that if Zhang Jun wants to go up from Yingshui to seize this Yingzhou, the difficulty is much greater than that of this Shouzhou.

Although Yingzhou is not as close as Shouzhou across the Huai River, it is indeed more likely that the Song army will not be discovered when they go ashore.

But this Taiwei Zhang obviously underestimated the hearts of the people and overestimated the status of the Song State in the hearts of the people of Yingzhou.

When planning before, the generals deliberately bypassed this place, as long as Bozhou and Caizhou were taken, there would be no reinforcements here, and they would naturally fall.

Zhang Jun, a genius, really gave up a hard bone to gnaw on that hard stone.

Liu Bang was extremely happy - fortunately, Lao Tzu came today, otherwise he didn't know how big a hole to poke out.

The golden vulture was almost consumed there, and the dog wanted to consume Lao Tzu there too.

I really listened to him, the first opportunity, the first fart!

Taking a deep breath and looking at Zhang Jun who was waiting for a compliment, Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder:

"Good, don't say it next time."

Maybe he didn't notice the second half of the emperor's sentence, but Taiwei Zhang only listened to a 'very good' and went in, showing an expression that everyone knew he was happy.

Liu Bang looked at Pharmacist Guo again: "Tell me about you, try not to exaggerate too much." ”

Pharmacist Guo glanced at Zhang Jun, whose nostrils were staring at the sky, and then he said:

"If you ask for it quickly, you should outwit it."

"Humph!" Taiwei Zhang snorted coldly, "Don't pick up other people's words!" ”

Pharmacist Guo ignored him: "There are seven days left, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15." ”

"Shouzhou and Shouchun are originally the same place, but now the situation is deceptive, and the north and south are separated."

"And the people of the two places have many contacts, and there are many blood relatives, and on this festive season, there will inevitably be many people who want to cross the river to reunite."

"At that time, when the defense of Shouzhou City was the most lax, so ......"

Take advantage of the large number of people during the festival and cross the river in the name of reunion...... It can indeed achieve the effect of hiding people's ears and eyes.

Liu Bang didn't think much about it at all, and the suggestions of the two can be said to be high-level judgments.

Nodding slightly, he commanded:

"Then pass the news to those in the east, and when we wait for August 15, we will do it!"
