Shangguan Tan sighed quietly, and then the Governor of the Navy quietly glanced at the brother opposite, Shangguan Yun, out of the corner of his eye.

It's a pity that Shangguan Yun is still expressionless, so Shangguan Tan can't see any clues, and at this time, he can't ask directly, so he can only wait quietly.

Shangguan Tan sighed lightly again, and suddenly remembered what the fifth sister Shangguan Qiushui said, in fact, Daomen and Wei Guoben had a great opportunity to kill this Sword Sect leader, if Xu Beiyou, who had not yet cultivated to Dacheng, died in Wei at that time, and there was no Xu Beiyou, who was almost invincible in the world, then today's Jiangnan war may not have so many twists and turns, and most of the Wei army has conquered Liangxiang and included the entire Huzhou in the bag.

In fact, the reason is very simple, without Xu Beiyou, the Sword Sect that has not recovered from the past will not be integrated with such a huge force, and even because of the lack of Xu Beiyou's link, the tacit understanding between Jiangdu and the imperial capital will be greatly reduced, then Jiangdu is likely to have fallen under the plan of King Wei, so that Jiangzhou and Huzhou will all belong to Wei, and the Wei army will have a foothold, whether it is to enter Xiangzhou, or to enter Shuzhou, or even to divide and operate, it can be easily controlled.

To say that Xu Beiyou supported the southeast half of the wall with his own strength, it cannot be said that it is all right, but it does have merit. Of course, at that time, the reason why Chen Gongyu wanted to let Xu Beiyou go for a horse was based on two reasons, one was because of the thousand-year-old savings of the Sword Sect, after all, marching and fighting was the first cost of money in the world, why did the Central Plains Dynasty sit on the world but could not eradicate the trouble of the grassland? In the final analysis, it was because it cost too much and was unprofitable, and now the Wei State wants to seize the Central Plains with the power of a snake swallowing an elephant, and it is still a little worse with only a few decades of operation of the Wei State, and it is still slightly worse, and it has to rely on the money of the Sword Sect to make up for it. As for the second reason, it can only be said that people are not as good as heaven, when Chen Gongyu set up a bureau to trap Xu Beiyou in the secret realm of Sword Sect's Sword Mound Island, according to reason, it is difficult to escape from that secret realm if it is replaced by any other person, but Xu Beiyou is an exception, not only escaped from the secret realm, but also got the opportunity to cultivate into a great advance, becoming a figure who has repeatedly frustrated Wei and Daomen.

I have to say that time is also fate.

Xiao Jin put away his thoughts and said slowly: "Now in this palace, almost all the real power figures of Wei have gathered, if our Wei State can one day become the Great Wei, you are all the founding ministers, as the lord of Wei, I want to ask you." ”

Everyone in the palace sat upright, solemnly waiting for the will.

Xiao Jin leaned back on the back of the throne chair and asked slowly: "Now that the battle is in the current situation, should you attack Jiangzhou first, or continue to attack Huzhou?"

All the eyes of everyone looked at Shangguan Tan in unison.

Shangguan Tan had to speak: "Back to Your Highness, according to Weichen's opinion, if we turn our troops to attack Jiangzhou at this time, then we will give up most of our previous results in Huzhou, and we will also expose our backs to Yu Kuang of Liangxiang, if the war to attack Jiangzhou is slightly unsmooth, there will be worries about the enemy, so Weichen thinks that we should continue to attack Huzhou, as long as we take Huzhou, Jiangzhou, which has become a lonely land, will sooner or later be in our pocket." ”

As soon as Shangguan Tan's words came out, many people immediately echoed them.

Xiao Jin had a calm expression on his face and continued to ask, "If you continue to attack Huzhou, how should you fight it?"

Shangguan Tan got up and came to a map that had already been hung in the palace, this map is about one zhang three feet long, about eight feet wide, it is a map of the war that includes the entire Jiangnan and even Shuzhou, Jiangdu, Jiangling, Liangxiang, all the way to Shuzhou Baidi City, plus Jundao, Tieshan, Nanhu three major battalions, all on the map, as for other state capitals, passes, mountains and rivers, it is accurate to every small river, The location of each village, this also originated from the personal proposal of Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, so that the Wei generals knew that the original map could be so detailed, so that the details of a place were in front of them, and the march and battle were naturally invincible. In the previous battle of Dongting Lake, although Yu Kuang was a local battle, when it came to the detailed map in his hand, it was far inferior to the map in Shangguan Tan's hand, which could be regarded as laying the groundwork for the defeat of the Jiangnan Naval Division. However, this kind of mapping is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and just the map in front of me took nearly 20 years for the Wei spies.

At this time, the map was also marked with a number of lines representing the movement of the army, several of which pointed to the two Xiang.

Shangguan Tan lifted a slender long rod with white jade texture, first pointed at the two necks, and then suddenly pulled it, pointing to the White Emperor City in the upper reaches of the river, "If the Shuzhou army goes out of Shu and enters the lake, the White Emperor City is the top priority, although Sun Shaotang has been stationed in the White Emperor City for a long time, but the grain and grass in the White Emperor City are limited, and it is difficult to garrison too many troops, and it takes time to mobilize the garrisons of the Sword Pavilion and Jincheng, so the first wave of reinforcements from the Shuzhou front army is destined not to be too much, which also gives us an opportunity." ”

Xiao Jin was noncommittal and motioned for Shangguan Tan to continue.

Shangguan Tan continued: "In this way, the initiative lies with us, we have two choices, one is to rush before the main force of Shuzhou reinforcements arrives in Liangxiang, and go all out to conquer Liangxiang, but Liangxiang City is high and deep, if it is not conquered for a long time, it will inevitably fall into passivity." As for the second option, that is, not to attack the city, to besiege but not to attack, to use the two Xiang as bait to lure the first wave of reinforcements from the Shuzhou front army to come, and then concentrate all your strength to eat it in one bite. ”

Hearing this, a general who was at odds with Shangguan Tan on weekdays couldn't help but retort: "Increasing troops is like adding fuel, this is a taboo for soldiers, whether it is Lan Yu or Sun Shaotang, they are all battle-hardened leaders, how could they make such a mistake?"

Xiao Jin didn't even glance at the general, stared at the map and said slowly, "Go on." ”

The general was suddenly silent, and did not dare to say more than half a word.

Shangguan Tan said slowly: "As the so-called soldiers are fast, if Sun Shaotang does not rush to the aid of Liangxiang at the first time, then we will attack the city with all our might, as long as we eat Liangxiang, Huzhou is our bag, at that time, Sun Shaotang mobilized troops to rush to help, who can we save?"

The general was completely speechless.

Shangguan Tan said again: "It's still the same sentence, the soldiers are fast, the root knot of this battle lies in a fast word, if it is a siege, it is necessary to capture the two Xiang before the arrival of the reinforcements in Shuzhou, if it is to send reinforcements, then the two Xiang and the White Emperor City have not reacted before the support army will be eaten, if it falls into a stalemate, the situation will be complicated." ”

The entire palace was silent.

I have to say that Shangguan Tan can sit firmly in the position of the first military general under Xiao Jin, not only because he came from an official family, but also because he is not inferior to Yu Kuang and Zhang Wuxian in terms of true talent and learning.

Xiao Jin turned his head to look at Shangguan Yun on the side and asked, "How?"

Shangguan Yun nodded, "But according to His Highness's orders." ”

Xiao Jin got up from the throne and said in a deep voice: "Gu has already dispatched an army of 100,000 to set off from the Tieshan camp, plus the 100,000 remnants of the previous attack on Xiangyang, a total of 200,000 troops, and there will be Lao Shangguan Dudu in Liangxiang. ”

Shangguan Tan's face was solemn, he knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "No!"
