"At this time, we need to take the initiative, otherwise we will really be embattled." The King of Jin once again reiterated the necessity of attacking the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

Bai Xingzhi, a think tank under the command of King Jin, hurriedly said, "Lord, no, now that the imperial court is menacing, if you provoke Pingzhou again, you will suffer from the enemy." ”

"And Pingzhou, it's not easy to mess with."

Bai Xingzhi's evaluation is the opposite of what King Jin said just now.

King Jin was stunned for a moment, he was still very convinced of the ability of the wise men under his command, and he immediately asked, "Why did Mr. Bai say this?" ”

"Lord Wang, what do you think, Pingzhou snatched the hard-fought Daijun from Xianbei, can Xianbei not be angry? Xianbei must have fought in Pingzhou, but so far there has been no news that Xianbei will take Daijun back. ”

In other words, now Pingzhou is still holding Daijun firmly in his hands, what does this mean? It shows that even Xianbei is not begging for a bargain in Pingzhou, can it be easy to provoke? ”

"So, don't look at the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force stationed in Dongtai and Jiangdu counties now, it seems that the ability is mediocre, it is a tiger that does not exert its might."

After such an analysis by the military advisor Bai Xingzhi, King Jin's feverish mind finally calmed down.

Another staff member, Kong Huai, didn't think so, "Did the military advisor overestimate the Pingzhou Army?" Raising the morale of others and destroying one's own prestige like this is not good for the military, right? ”

"The prince wants to attack the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force, and he also wants to tear a hole in it. As the saying goes, if you fight with one punch, lest ten thousand punches come, this battle may have the effect of deterring the imperial court. ”

Bai Xingzhi stroked the hanging hat band, "The prince's idea can't be wrong, if the Pingzhou army is really as weak and deceitful as the prince thinks." I'm afraid that our punch will not achieve the expected effect, but will provoke one more enemy. ”

"There is another reason why Bai does not approve of attacking the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force."

"What is the reason?"

"I've been wondering lately where the way out is in the East China Sea. Looking at the current posture, the imperial court is determined to put down the rebellion in the East China Sea. ”

When King Jin heard this, his face turned dark, Song Mo didn't want to leave him a little way to live!

"But the imperial court also has a weakness, that is, the problem of insufficient troops. Xianbei is raging in the north, and the imperial court will definitely try to increase the number of troops in the north as soon as possible. So don't look at the strength of the imperial court's attack on us now, but the continuity is definitely poor, and it is impossible to gather so many troops to attack the East China Sea all the time. ”

"Lord Wang, what we have to do now is to narrow the battle line and withstand this wave of strong attacks."

"In the attack on Pingzhou, even if it is won, there will be a loss of soldiers. The most important thing in the East China Sea at present is not the size of the territory, but the number of soldiers. Therefore, from all aspects, it is unwise for the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force to face each other at this time. ”

Everyone present understood, and when you think about it, it is true.

After Bai Xingzhi's analysis, they discussed.

"In that case, it's better to be good friends with Pingzhou."

"But in this case, will it lead the wolf into the house?"

King Jin snorted, "Yes, now that this king is weak, a dog will come to bully him, and it's strange that Pingzhou doesn't take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Bai Xingzhi said, "Lord Wang, at least people haven't made a move on us yet, right?" ”

"As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Pingzhou was an ally with Nandi before, but later Xie Zhan and the emperor secretly joined forces, the emperor deceived the prince, didn't Xie Zhan deceive Lu Songli? Let's fight for it and turn Pingzhou into our ally. ”

"How?" King Jin asked.

"Be sincere!" Pingzhou is not their parents, how can they be unconditionally good to them?

In Bai Xingzhi's opinion, they had to shrink the front anyway, and simply give Qutao and other places to the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

As soon as Bai Xingzhi said this, the people present couldn't help but gasp, Qu Tao said that the city would let it? And looking at Bai Xingzhi's style, it may not only be given to a city like Pingzhou.

Their reaction is normal, and the Han people have an inexplicable attachment to the land in their bones.

"Mr. Bai, if it weren't for the confirmation that you were a member of our side, I couldn't help but suspect that you had been bribed by the Pingzhou side." Kong Huai joked.

Bai Xingzhi glanced at Kong Huai lightly, and then he bowed his hand towards King Jin, "Lord Wang, the lesser of two evils." Qutao and other places are better than giving up the territory to the imperial court, right? "The land that is destined to be difficult to hold has been given to Pingzhou, and it is just waste utilization.

Bai Xingzhi pondered the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force, and had speculated about the reason why they no longer expanded their territory after they occupied Dongtai and Jiangdu at the beginning, probably because Pingzhou was too far away from the East China Sea, so the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force was not active in fighting territory. Anyway, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force gives people the feeling that they want to retreat at any time.

Bai Xingzhi decided to artificially increase their territory. When they occupied more territory in the East China Sea and obtained large enough benefits, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force was reluctant to retreat. The Pingzhou side will either increase its investment in the East China Sea, or it will actively send troops southward to lay down some important territory in Qingzhou and Xuzhou as soon as possible, so as to open up a path to the East China Sea from the south.

If Xianbei continued to move south, or Pingzhou went south, it was possible to force the imperial court to divide its troops to resist. In this way, the pressure on them in the East China Sea will be reduced.

The people of the old Song family are quite crazy.

King Jin's reaction was unsurprising.

"Okay, just according to what you say! Song Mo doesn't give this king a way to live, so don't blame this king for blocking him! ”

He and Bai Xingzhi are really one who dares to suggest and the other who dares to adopt.

"I'll bother you to make this happen."

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County

At this time, Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and others, who were studying the map and combat policy, did not know that pie was about to fall from the sky.

Qin Zhao smiled, "As the saying goes, if you sing and I appear, it's time for us to perform next." "The overall situation of Pingzhou has been decided, and the set goals have been completed as planned.

Guo Chong bowed slightly.

Qin Zhao stretched his waist, after resting for so long, they should almost get to work.

Dongtai County Wharf

Sun Congyi was the first to jump off the boat.

The young general guarding the dock immediately stepped forward, "What person?" ”

"Your own people, your own people." Sun Congyi hurriedly said, then took out their governor's warrant from his bosom and handed it over.

"Wait a minute." The junior general took the warrant and went to their general.

The general stationed at the dock was Yue Shu, and after checking it, he immediately asked people to vacate a vacant space, and then signaled that the soldiers on the ship could disembark.

Everyone began to disembark in an orderly manner, and one by one they lined up their camps and formations with their heads held high.

Sun Jiajun has a makeover, and the new clothes issued by Pingzhou are sandwiched and warm.

At the same time, Steward Bi, who had been waiting here for two days, hurried to the ship to meet Lin Shan.

When Lin Shan got off the boat, his whole face was ugly.

Yue Shu was planning to take Sun Congyi and the others to meet General Qin Zhao and Guo Chong's military division.

Lin Shan followed, "General Yue, let's go, I'll also go to see General Qin Zhao together." ”
