Chapter 150: Military Discussion

Li Ye agreed with Li Zhen's words, that is, he specified the general political direction for the future Pinglu action, and with this program, there was no need to have any scruples about sending troops to the Central Plains to conquer Zhu Wen.

Li Ye continued: "Zhu Wenmu couldn't despise the imperial court, and privately sent troops to invade and occupy neighboring towns, causing chaos in the Central Plains for a few months, so that the people were not able to make a living, and he was really a rebel and thief. The lonely king was ordered by His Majesty to have the right to control the military and political affairs of Shandong, and now Zhu Wen is perverse, and the various feudal towns in the Central Plains have sent envoys to Qingzhou many times to ask for help from the lonely king, and the lonely king is duty-bound. At this time, King Lone is preparing to raise troops in the Central Plains and crusade against the rebels.

Li Zhen, Cui Keli and other civil officials, Liu Dazheng, Shangguan Chengcheng and other military generals, all got up and listened to the order when they heard the words: "I am willing to obey His Highness's orders!"

Li Ye shook his sleeves: "Okay! In that case, you can only speak freely about the strategy of sending troops." ”

Next, Li Ye discussed the strategy of sending troops with everyone in detail.

After Li Zhen returned to his seat, Cui Keli straightened up in his seat and said slowly: "For several months, Zhu Wen relied on the help of Taoist soldiers to invade Linzhen from all sides, and the current situation of Zhu Wen is roughly like this: to the east, defeat the Huazhou Yicheng Jiedu envoy and the Gongzhou Gonghai observation envoy, these two towns are adjacent to Xue Wei's Tianping army, so Xue Wei has trouble sleeping and eating, and constantly sends envoys to Qingzhou for help, asking troops to help defend Yunzhou; to the west, defeating the Zhengzhou Heyang Jiedu envoy and Luoyang Dongdu defense envoy; to the south to capture the Xuzhou Zhongwu Army Jiedu envoy, and to the southeast to capture the Xuzhou Wuning Jiedu envoy. ”

"Coupled with the original Xuanwu Army of Bianzhou, there are now seven towns under Zhu Wen's command, and the scope of control is from Tongguan in the west, to the seashore in the east, to the Yellow River in the north, and to the Huai River in the south. At present, Zhu Wen has a million mercenaries, coupled with the dense population of the Central Plains, and the people are as many as tens of millions, which can be described as a huge force, and he has the ambition to swallow the world!"

Speaking of this, Cui Clee paused and glanced at Li Ye.

Li Yan motioned for him to continue.

Cui Keli then continued: "After His Royal Highness pacified Weibo and Hedong and subdued the entire north, he had Pinglu, Tianping, Henghai, Weibo, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Chengde, Yiwu, and Lulong Nine Towns, with more than one million soldiers and tens of millions of people, and the power was not lost to Zhu Wen, and even exceeded. And the towns of Hebei Domain, there are many brave and good soldiers, especially in Hedong, Weibo, Chengde, Lulong and other old strong towns, the soldiers are strong, they can compete for the world, and they are sharp weapons in the hands of His Royal Highness. ”

Cui Keli stood up and bowed his hand to Li Ye: "Please show your Highness the map." ”

Li Ye waved his hand: "Shangyu map." ”

"Yes. A heroic black-faced young man next to him answered the call.

Suddenly, the young man and the two guards carried out a scrolled map, and the width of the side was far more than one zhang.

Li Ye stretched out his hand and tapped the open space in the center of the hall, "Spread it out here." ”

"Yes. The black-faced young man came to the hall and commanded two guards to put the map on the ground, and as they bent down and rolled up the map, a huge boxy military map of mountains and rivers appeared in front of everyone.

The map was spread out, and everyone saw clearly that the perimeter of this map was two zhang long, and the mountains, rivers and cities on it were all-encompassing.

The geography in the map starts from Shule in the west, to the sea in the east, to Mobei in the north, and to Annan in the south. Just by looking at it, it can make people have a heroic spirit of having the world in their minds and looking at all directions.

This map was specially drawn by the Tsing Yi Yamen, presided over by Song Jiao herself, and took five years to complete.

Its wide scope and detailed geography are several times stronger than the maps stored in the palace, among which the Western Regions, Nanzhao, grasslands and other remote places are all in the Tsing Yi Yamen who have received Song Jiao's special training to survey on the spot, and there are detailed local chronicle information.

In a word, the map of the "four square abbots" in front of him is not only a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but a map of the world in Li Ye's heart.

Seeing this map, the civil and military generals present can get a glimpse of the greatness of the country in Li Ye's heart.

They couldn't help but look at Li Ye, who was in the main seat, and were in awe.

The black-faced young man bowed down and handed over a long pole, Cui Keli shook his sleeves, took it and came to the map, pointed to the center of the map, and said in high spirits: "Most of the nine towns under His Highness's command are north of the Yellow River. From Hebei to the south, the Yellow River is a natural barrier, and Zhu Wen only needs to hold a few important Jinkou to contain our troops and make it impossible for the army to launch an effective offensive. ”

"However, the two towns of Pinglu and Tianping, south of the Yellow River, can also become the bridgehead of our troops in the Central Plains, although they are in the corners, which provides us with the possibility of launching an offensive quickly and effectively. In particular, Caozhou, in the southwest of the Tianping Army, is shaped like a wedge, convex to the Central Plains, bordering Bianzhou. If you gather the elite to start from Caozhou and face the Central Plains with a single knife, you may be able to reap unexpected results!"

Cui Keli's voice fell, Liu Dazheng suddenly spoke, took his words, and said with a solemn expression: "The land of the three states of the Tianping Army is lined up in the northeast and southwest directions. Because of the long and narrow terrain, it is now in a situation of being surrounded on three sides - the east of the Gunzhou Gunhai Observation Envoy, the west of the Huazhou Yicheng Festival Envoy, and the south of the Bianzhou Xuanwu Jie Envoy. ”

"These are Zhu Wen's forces, especially the land of Caozhou, which is too deep into the Central Plains, if he uses troops to break through to the Central Plains from here, Zhu Wen will be able to surround from the two wings of Huazhou and Gunzhou, break into the territory of the Tianping Army to cut off the connection between Caozhou and Yunzhou in the rear, and even directly capture Yunzhou. At that time, the grain routes on the front line will be cut off, and it will be extremely dangerous!"

Cui Keli glanced at Liu Dazheng.

Liu Dazheng continued: "Although Pinglu borders Tianping, the land of the five states of Pinglu is lined up on the south shore of the Bohai Sea, and it is roughly straight with the three states of Tianping, and the angle is very small. If Zhu Wen gathers heavy troops to capture Yunzhou, we will only have one direction to rescue from Pinglu, and we can easily be intercepted by Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses. ”

"Moreover, although there are not many prefectures and counties in the south of Pinglu, the territory is wide and borders our Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou. When our heavy troops are gathered in the area of Yunzhou and entangled by the enemy, Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses will easily enter Pinglu from Gunhai, posing a serious threat to our belly and back!"

Cui Keli put away the long pole and faced Liu Dazheng and asked, "What does the general mean?"

Liu Dazheng came to the map, took the long pole in Cui Keli's hand, and pointed in the direction of Gunzhou.

He said: "Caozhou of the Tianping Army protrudes into the Central Plains like a wedge, and it is the only place to use troops in the Central Plains. However, in order to use troops from Caozhou, it is necessary to ensure that the balance is thorough first, and the enemy must not be given the opportunity to make a detour from both flanks and outflank the rear road. The two wings of the scale, with the Yellow River on the right and Weibo in the north, do not need to worry, and the left is near Gunzhou, but it is a point that must be stabilized. Therefore, what this general means is that if you want to use troops from Caozhou, you must first stabilize the balance, and if you want to stabilize the balance, you must first occupy Gongzhou!"

Cui Keli nodded, indicating that he generally agreed with Liu Dazheng's meaning.

Then he asked: "In the land of the three states of the balance, although most of the territory on the right wing is adjacent to the Yellow River, but on the right side of Caozhou is the Huazhou Yicheng Army, even if our army captures Gunzhou, Zhu Wen can still use troops from Huazhou and break through behind Caozhou." ”

Liu Dazheng said seriously: "So the second opinion of this general is that the use of troops from Caozhou should not directly attack Bianzhou of the Xuanwu Army, but to capture Huazhou on the right flank!"

He pointed the long pole in his hand to the north of Bianzhou and drew a straight line from the Yellow River to the east, "If we can take the Gunzhou Rolling Navy in the east and the Yicheng Army in Huazhou in the west, then the entire northeast of the Central Plains will fall under our control." At that time, on the vast land of seven or eight hundred miles from east to west, we will be able to use our troops to go south!"

"At that time, whether we directly take the Xuanwu Army of Bianzhou, or detour to Xuzhou and Xuzhou from the south, and Zhengzhou and Luoyang from the north, it will be easy for us to respond to and cooperate with the armies of various feudal towns in the north to enter the Central Plains, encircle and isolate Bianzhou, and finally gather heavy troops to overcome it in one fell swoop! If this can be done, Bianzhou will surely become a turtle in an urn, and the Central Plains will be able to set the general momentum, and even if Zhu Wen resists stubbornly, he will inevitably lose the fate!"

As soon as Liu Dazheng finished saying this, all the generals in the hall immediately applauded.

Even Li Zhen and Cui Keli looked at Liu Dazheng with admiration and admiration, obviously agreeing with the opinion of the number one general in the army.

As the highest-ranking and most powerful general under Li Ye, Liu Dazheng is often the candidate to lead the army, especially when Li Ye needs to take the monk group to act alone to deal with the other party's great monks.

This middle-aged general, who once followed Li Xian to fight in the south and the north, has been familiar with Li Xian's side, and his military strategy is extraordinary. He is now also the first person in the realm of generals under Li Ye, and he is about to break through the realm of generals and catch up with Li Cunxiao in the past.

Although Li Ye did not speak immediately, and took the liberty of deciding on the plan of sending troops, he also deeply agreed with Liu Dazheng's opinion on the use of troops.

However, at this moment, a light voice sounded, with a bit of killing spirit, and said slowly: "If Zhu Wen preemptively leads his troops to invade Caozhou, and then besieges Yunzhou, what will happen?"

As soon as this rather untimely voice sounded, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads to follow the voice, and saw that the person who spoke had already stood up and was walking towards the map with an indifferent expression.

Shangguan Allure.

She didn't ask for the long pole in Liu Dazheng's hand, she stretched out her arm and pointed in the direction of the Central Plains, "Zhu Wen's invasion of the neighboring towns is intended to include the entire Central Plains. When the time comes, he will base the Yellow River in the north to resist Hebei, the Huai River in the south to resist Huainan, the west to put heavy troops to defend Tongguan, and the sea in the east to strengthen the coastal defense. ”

"Only by realizing this premise can Zhu Wen stabilize the four realms and cultivate the army. If this is the case, with the manpower and material resources of the Central Plains, it only takes three or five years for Zhu Wen to be able to grow strong and strong. At that time, whether he took Guanzhong in the west or went north to Hebei, he was quite sure. If you can fight a few battles and win Guanzhong or the north, then Zhu Wen's momentum will be unstoppable like Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty and Gaozu of this dynasty. ”

Shangguan Chengcheng looked at Li Ye, his delicate and beautiful face was still paralyzed, and his voice was like reading a book. But the words that popped out of the fiery red lips had the power to shock people's hearts.

She said: "With Zhu Wen's talent, if he wants to achieve great things, he must plan to do so, then Caozhou and even the entire Tianping Sanzhou are a thorn in his eye, and they must be eliminated quickly." Only when he has the balance can he coerce Pinglu and drive His Highness to Hebei, and then take possession of the entire Central Plains and realize the great cause of dominating the world; if he does not have the balance, he will have to be threatened and constrained by His Highness everywhere, and his actions will be difficult, and the situation is tantamount to a tiger sleeping soundly on the side of the couch, how can he rest assured?"

"After several months of fighting, now that Zhu Wen has become a force in the Central Plains, he must face the power of His Highness, and there is no reason to delay and avoid His Highness. Since the dispute with His Royal Highness is imminent, in the opinion of the last general, as long as Zhu Wen is not willing to be killed, he will definitely quickly send troops and attack Caozhou urgently!"

"And he has the help of Dao soldiers, it is not very difficult to get Caozhou or Tianping Sanzhou, so he will definitely act immediately!"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Chengcheng leaned over and clenched his fists, "As Mr. Cui and General Liu said, Caozhou is a wedge that protrudes into the Central Plains, and the balance is the bridgehead of the Central Plains for the army. If Caozhou is lost, once Zhu Wen guards the important Jinkou of the Yellow River and cuts off the connection between Pinglu and Hebei Domain, then Pinglu will be in a corner of the predicament, and there will be no room for the soldiers and horses to move and transfer, let alone be rescued by the Hubei Domain, and the defeat will be decided!"

"Therefore, the last general has the courage to speak, His Highness should ask for help from Xue Wei, and quickly send troops to help defend Caozhou - the last general, I am willing to take the wolf tooth to go immediately and defend this important place for His Highness!"
