"Marshal, according to the current situation around us and the distribution of garrisons, I think it is the best strategy for us to concentrate our forces to attack Guanzhong, with the least risk and the greatest hope of success."

Li Ziyang said that he must show that he also has the ability to strategize.

Liu Bingyun glanced at Li Ziyang, and agreed with Li Ziyang's words very much, but he knew Lin Jianyue better, and knew that Lin Jianyue would not agree, in Lin Jianyue's heart, it was not his goal to fight for power and profit and blindly expand his territory, not to mention that with his eldest brother on the side, how to fight Menghu more effectively.

Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "With less than 200,000 troops in Guanzhong and Aricha's ability to command the army, as well as my eldest brother's containment in Dasanguan, it is indeed very likely that the army will succeed in entering Guanzhong, but it is easy to go to Guanzhong, but it is difficult to get out of Guanzhong." As soon as I move, the Hu army in the Central Plains will move, attacking from both sides, the outcome is not yet known, even if it succeeds, block Shangzhou Wuguan City and Hangu Pass, how can we continue to attack? Then there is only one way to the north from the Hetao Plain to detour, and then to fight thousands of miles. Fighting in the core area of Menghu, our main force is foot soldiers, the enemy is all cavalry, and the grassland is open, there is no danger available, and there is no doubt about defeat. ”

"In addition, I have to say that although Guanzhong is good, it is still much poorer and more remote than the Central Plains, the Longjie army is from the Central Plains, and the vast majority of the soldiers are from the Central Plains.

Lin Jianyue looked at the west, didn't know what he was thinking, and said after a while: "You have been with me for a long time, and I know some thoughts in my heart, but it's hard to say." You can't say it, I can say that it is nothing more than a question of who is in charge of the world once Menghu is defeated in the future. Let me tell you, Menghu has been dominating the world for decades, dozens of countries have been destroyed, and the territory occupied is several times that of the previous Daning court in its heyday, and its national strength can be imagined. If we want to really defeat Menghu, we may not be able to do it in our lifetime, and thinking about this problem too early now will only bring trouble to the overall situation of anti-Hu. If you want to achieve great things, I think you need to take a long-term view and be bigger-minded. ”

Liu Bingyun sighed in his heart, and had to admit that what Lin Jianyue said was right, but my Lin Jieshuai, you don't know how many people are working hard for you in the dark, the power of the Han people is really condensed, and its power is beyond imagination, you really underestimate yourself.

Now that the words have been said thoroughly, the next step is to seriously discuss the issue of offense and defense.

"According to the latest news, the Hu people transferred 50,000 cavalry from Kaifeng Mansion to supplement Hedong, and at present, there are more than 100,000 Hu cavalry in Hedong, and more than 50,000 Han people attached to the army.

Hearing this, Lin Jianyue turned his head and asked Qu Shangqun: "How is the training of the naval army under Qu's control?" ”

Qu Shangqun is full of confidence: "More than 1,000 large warships of more than 500 stones have been built, and more than 30,000 sailors have been trained, and they can fight at any time!" ”

Lin Jianyue nodded and said: "The expansion of the naval army cannot be stopped, and the warships must continue to be built, but I don't know if the logistics materials can be supplied?" ”

Li Shangxin said a little nervously: "There will be no problem in one or two years, but the time for us to take over Xiangyang is still short, and all links are not smooth. ”

"Is Mr. Li still in contact with them? If there are representatives who can speak and do numbers in Xiangyang, I can go and meet them to see what they think, do business, and not rob them, it is okay to borrow, and our reputation is not so bad! It is true that Jingxi Road alone cannot support the rapidly expanding Longjie Army and the Xinyang Army, even in its previous heyday. ”

At this time, Liu Bingyun interjected: "In the battle of Luoyang, we have captured a lot of materials, and we also have war horses, which can fully guarantee the expansion of Li Fei's cavalry, which is less than the largest expenditure, and now more than 20,000 cavalry troops have been newly trained, and at most half a year later, they can form combat power." ”

Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "So why are there so many bandits in the world now, and the robbery is indeed the fastest, don't hide it from you, I was a little bandit before, but none of the robberies were successful." I didn't expect to come to the Central Plains, and I had already robbed it twice, and I grabbed so many things that I never dreamed of before! ”

Everyone laughed.

"How is the training of the Xinyang Army's new army?" Lin Jianyue was not very familiar with Wang Lizheng, but he knew that he was an old man from Qingfeng Mountain, so he just wanted to see how capable he was.

"At present, a little more than 50,000 have been trained, and officers at all levels of the Second Army have been gradually dispersed and supplemented into the new army. However, it still needs a large number of junior officers from other armies to come to help, at most a year, which will not be much worse than the main force of the Long Jie army. ”

Wang Lizheng didn't talk much, his confidence was not small, and he actually had a bit of a political trade-off vision, Lin Jianyue couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

After the first army arrived in Nanyang, it could quickly move into Caizhou, so that there would be 100,000 troops in the direction of Caizhou, as well as his own elite 3,000 guards cavalry army, Lin Jianyue's thoughts became active.

"Qu Tongzhi immediately led 20,000 sailors and brought enough warship parts to Luoshui near Luoyang to build warships and continue to train sailors, the place Liu Changshi has already chosen for you, and the place is enough. This year, before the Yellow River freezes, he is familiar with the water potential of the Yellow River, and next year it will be of great use. ”

Li Ziyang is not only the deputy of Liu Bingyun of the Political Affairs Hall, but also the history of the Jingnan Road and the history of the Xinyang Army.

"Tie Qinglin's deputy commander immediately went to Luoyang, integrated the third, fourth, fifth, and tenth armies, trained more, especially to familiarize himself with the march on the warship, don't get on the ship when the time comes, people will not work, even if you get off the ship, you can't quickly recover your combat strength, then it's a joke."

The Xuzhou Army was reorganized into the Ninth Army, the Luoyang Army was reorganized into the Tenth Army, and the military strength of the Longjie Army had expanded to nearly 200,000 people in ten armies, plus more than 300,000 cavalry troops, naval troops and Xinyang New Army.

Looking at the large number of people, compared to the millions of people in Menghu, it is still insignificant.

The pace of army expansion will not stop, and it is still necessary to fight to support the war, coupled with the gradual recovery of people's livelihood on Jingxi Road and the replenishment of Xiangyang, Lin Jianyue is confident that he can hold it up, and he must hold it up.

"Wang Lizheng was appointed as the deputy commander of the Xinyang Army and the commander of the Second Army, the Second Army of the Long Jie Army was merged into the Xinyang Army, the commanders of the supplementary battalions of each army sent the following officers to the Xinyang Army, and Wu Zhong, Wu Yi and others transferred the Xinyang Army to serve as the commander of the army."

"The Enemy Intelligence Department will start to make some preparations on Huainan East Road, and next year I will personally go to Caizhou to make contact with friendly forces on Huainan West Road, jointly oppress the Hu army on Huainan East Road, and reduce the threat faced by the Xinyang Army."

"I'm not going to start a big war this year, I focus on internal affairs and training, but I also need to be careful, what the enemy thinks is not up to what we think, especially the positions of the two generals Hao and Tie, if there is an abnormal situation, it will be reported in time, and the enemy intelligence department must also do a good job of cooperating."

Before Liu Bingyun left, he suddenly invited Lin Jianyue to his mansion for a drink, and Lin Jianyue knew that there must be something important to say in private, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
