After crossing the mountains and walking through the rainforest, Liu Chen's Cangzhou army finally arrived at the meeting place that had been negotiated with the wolf army in advance in the early morning four days later. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jinkou, a small town about the same size as Fancheng, the southwest tributary of the Canglan River is interspersed from this town, the north of the town is Cangyun Erzhou, the east is Yuezhou, and then to the southwest, it is Youzhou, in the four states to rush, it is completely conceivable that there is a prosperity about Jinkou in the past.

It's just that after the Youzhou rebellion, under the new policy reform of the Imperial Household Department, Jinkou has carried out three migrations of people, and now at this time, in addition to the 200,000 Yuezhou wolf army that has been stationed in the town for a long time, there are no ordinary people to be found in the rest of the town, and after a period of defense expansion, Jinkou has become a military town in the south of the empire.

After the Cangzhou army entered the city, Liu Chen immediately summoned the Wind Thunder Iron Cavalry, the Canglan Legion and all the main generals above the Yuezhou Wolf Battalion Officer to come to the wide tent of the Chinese army commander for a meeting.

Hundreds of people lined up on both sides of the tent in turn, and after Liu Chen sat down at the top of the tent, he looked at the crowd, fortunately, most of them were familiar faces.

After everyone greeted each other, Liu Chen groaned for a while, and then spoke with a chuckle......

"Cousin, it's up to you to tell us about the current situation!"

"King, all the robes!" After a period of tempering, the squirrel on Young Master Huan's face was really much less, and now he looked a lot more heroic and capable, "As early as last year, the Youzhou army had already destroyed the roads and bridges connecting Yunyun and Cangerzhou to prevent the counterattack of the central army......"

After the crowd came out, Ji Huan slowly walked to the huge sand table in the tent and began to scold Fang Xuan, "It's just that the Daohe Bridge connected by Youyue is located in Yuezhou, so it was spared, now, the rainy season in the south has passed, and most of the Daohe River basin within the Jinkou area has begun to dry up, and some places even expose the riverbed, in this way, the advantages and disadvantages of our army are complementary, the good thing is that we don't have to be logging and shipbuilding, after all, the landing battle is not easy to fight, what about the bad place...... The Youzhou army can come over at any time, and some time ago, they took advantage of the night to surprise attack our army's headquarters several times......"

"If we want the whole army to advance......" got up and came to Ji Huan's side, Liu Chen frowned and picked up the willow banner representing himself on the sand table, and slowly pushed it to the other side of the Dao River and said, "What do you think, cousin?"

The big guys all gathered around, while carefully examining the situation on the sand table, they raised their eyes and looked at Ji Huan expectantly, not to say how resourceful Ji Huan was, mainly because the wolf army came the earliest and was most familiar with Jinkou, Ji Huan's opinion, Liu Chen must be the key consideration.

"The Youzhou army is now stubbornly guarding the long bridge of the Dao River, and the price we will pay to take the long bridge is too great......" Pointing to a certain point on the sand table, Ji Huan thought about it again and said: "If you insist on asking my opinion, I think it is better for us to find an opportunity to attack head-on and cross the river directly! Anyway, the water of that river is only three feet deep now......

"Hmm!" nodded noncommittally, holding the sword on the sand table for a long time, and finally, the blade of the Qiushui Sword landed somewhere southwest of Jinkou, where the direction of the Liuzi banner was completely blocked, "Where is this?"

"King, this is Guicheng, the gateway to Youzhou!" Liu Shisan lightly twisted his white beard, raised his head and said with a smile: "Different from the swamps of Yuezhou, the terrain of Youzhou is quite steep, especially this Guicheng, surrounded by mountains on three sides, looking at the water on one side, taking a step forward, facing Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and retreating, it is a thousand miles of vicissitudes...... Since ancient times, this place has been a battleground for soldiers!"

"According to the words of the thirteenth uncle, can we understand that the Youzhou rebels on the other side of the river are from Guicheng?"

"Yes, judging from the uniforms worn by the rebels who have been killed several times, they are indeed the ...... of the Guicheng headquarters."

"Look at it that way, this battle is not easy to fight!" Liu Chen smiled, withdrew his gaze from the sand table, and on the spot where the autumn water returned to the sheath, he whispered softly at that time, "After crossing the Dao River, we can only attack Guicheng, and Guicheng is condescending, and the mountains are dangerous, which is very unfavorable to us, but the road is here, if we don't take Guicheng, we can't enter the hinterland of Youzhou at all, not to mention whether the battle of crossing the river is good or not, we spend one more day in Jinkou, and the pressure on the northwest will be greater......"

"Otherwise, let's bypass Guicheng and take the eastern estuary to Wancheng!" one of the main generals of the wolf army raised his hand, and his weak opening interrupted the contemplation in the tent.

"It's not proper!" Uncle Ban Ziming beside Liu Chen kept raising his eyebrows, and when he heard the general's words, he couldn't help but shake his head and interrupted: "Wancheng is gentle, and it stands to reason that it is indeed easy to take, but if we make a detour to Wancheng, once the war starts, the Guicheng army will be condescending behind us, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to succeed under the enemy!"

The so-called difficult to compete is, the reader has the way of speaking, in the case of Liu Chen, a few of them, the cliff wants to say dead and dead, obviously, in the encirclement, and fighting in a different place, how can this battle be won!

If you want to conquer Youzhou, the first stop must defeat Guicheng, after occupying Guicheng, Liu Chenjin can directly take Cangshan Erhai Lake, retreat to the mountain and wait and see, almost invincible in Youzhou!

"Everyone!" Hearing a gurgling sound from his lower abdomen, Liu Chen smiled, only to find that Uncle Ban Ziming and his party were all tired and full of dust, so it can be seen that his current appearance must not be very solemn, smiled, he said softly: "Otherwise, let's eat first, wait for a while, everyone brainstorms, and discuss a feasible plan when the meeting is held later, after taking Guicheng, Gu Dingdang personally sent a book to Chang'an, and asked for a reward for everyone!"

"Whoa!"

......

The reception banquet that was originally prepared can finally come in handy now, and there are no too delicate dim sum, the chefs in the army have always been like this, no matter what the ingredients, they will stew in a mess anyway.

Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Canglan was hungry, and a pot of haggis soup that didn't look very beautiful was eaten in his mouth, which made him have some aftertaste, and the camp owners and generals also began to take advantage of the opportunity to eat, and became familiar with each other a lot......

"King!" Liu Chen, who was the first to finish eating, left the handsome tent with a strange expression, and walked alone to a corner where there was no one, he was squatting on the big stone and laughing stupidly, no, after seeing it, Uncle Ban Ziming, who came out to look for him, immediately walked to him with doubts and said, "What are you laughing at here alone?"

"Uh......" Looking up and seeing Uncle Ban Ziming's arrival, Liu Chen's old face turned red, looking a little helpless, and he couldn't resist Uncle Ban Ziming's smiling gaze, His Royal Highness King Canglan had no choice but to murmur the news he had just received, "Mother sent a projectile...... It is said that Beigong and Yuyao are both pregnant...... I...... I'm going to be a dad......"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" After being stunned for a moment, Uncle Ban's face was overjoyed, and he congratulated Liu Chen again and again, "With this happy event, it seems that Guicheng is a hard bone, we are done!" (To be continued.) )
