Chapter 956

Wu Qi, Wei Wuji and Cao Ren, the three main generals of the Central Plains army, came to see Chu Tian.

Cao Ren had a high sense of war, but Wu Qi and Wei Wuji were calm. They did not seem to be so enthusiastic about drinking horses and the Yangtze River.

The Central Plains army also had Pang Juan, Cao Hong, Xia Houdun, Li Dian and other generals.

The regiments that went south to attack Wancheng, Xinye and Xiangfan came from the Central Plains army and the guard army.

Central Plains is a narrow sense of the Central Plains, the scope of control includes more than ten prefectures of Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Wu Qi spread a map on the desk.

"To attack Wancheng, we must pass through the summer road of Fangcheng. Guo Ziyi stationed 80000 troops in bowangpo to try to contain Wang Shi."

"If Guo Ziyi is defeated and Wancheng is besieged, the general of Wancheng will be Zhang Xun. After years of reinforcement, Wancheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they can't attack in a hurry, they will bypass Wancheng, capture new fields and intercept the song and Wu troops who support Wancheng. "

Wu Qi compared the attack route on the topographic map.

Nanyang County is a big county with a population of several million. If we try our best to recruit and stick to it, we can get 200000 soldiers. Tang Dynasty is not a small vassal.

The Central Plains army is 300000 and the guard force is 600000, so there are enough troops to carry out Wuqi's attack plan.

If you can't defeat the Wancheng that Zhang Xun was defending, you can surround Wancheng with some troops, and the rest of the troops will bypass Wancheng and attack the new field.

And then

"Upgrade Xinye into a large city, open the transmission array, and directly bypass Wancheng to transport troops and grain and forage to Xiangfan. Wancheng becomes an isolated city. Once the grain and grass are exhausted, or Fancheng is captured, Wancheng is bound to surrender to us. "

Wu Qi's tactics are similar to frog leaping tactics. For cities that can't be quickly attacked, they can avoid them, attack other cities with strategic significance, and then return to attack.

This is a feasible strategy.

But

As commander-in-chief of the Warring States period, Wu Qi may not have a deep understanding of the power of firearms.

Chutian has Hongyi cannons and an eight level firearm camp. In one year, it has accumulated nearly 1000 solid bombs.

The function of Hongyi cannons is not only to scare cavalry, but also to attack cities. The power of Hongyi cannons is more terrifying than that of catapults.

If Chu Tiantie is determined to attack a city, even if the other side has top-notch City defenders and strong cities, Chutian can use 24 Hongyi cannons, plus more than hundreds of giant stone throwing machines and giant siege towers to recruit millions of troops and attack the city day and night.

It's just that Chutian has to see whether the price paid is directly proportional to the income he gets.

Chu Tian this time to see, is the city guard Zhang Xun fierce, or his own Hongyi cannon is powerful.

"The king of song hoarded heavy troops in Xiangyang and Fancheng. The king of Wu had released the captured generals Han Shizhong and other generals, and Han Shizhong and others returned to Xiangyang. And those stationed in Xinye are Cai Mao, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, with about 70000 troops. "

The snow moon in charge of intelligence appeared in the camp at this time and participated in the formulation of tactics.

XueYue rarely appears in front of the public, but she is actually one of the important high-level forces of Chu Tian. She only travels at night in royal clothes, so she seldom appears in public.

"In order to deal with me, the king of Wu even tolerated the king of song to separate Nanjun and release the captured generals. He was a strong enemy."

Chu Tian seldom pays attention to Tongque, a player Lord. His popularity is suppressed by Chutian, Laoqin and mingguan. However, he is also a wonderful figure to observe the rise of Tongque carefully.

In the Yellow turban rebellion, Tongque tried every means to form a brotherhood with Sun Jian. As the governor of Lujiang, he led the troops of Lujiang County southward to Jiangdong to capture the land of Jiangdong and pacify Baiyue.

Then he attacked Yang Shilang, king of Song Dynasty, occupied Jiangxia County, divided Jingzhou into two and annexed Jingnan, forcing Yang Shilang to become a minister.

If it wasn't for the pressure brought by Chu Tian, maybe Tongque would not have peace talks with Yang Shilang.

The peace talks with Yang Shilang are no less than a broken man. Tongque failed to completely unify Jingzhou and Yangzhou, but it brought pressure on Chu Tian.

Tongque didn't push Yang Shilang into Chutian camp, which made Yang Shilang think there was still a chance to fight for the world.

After all, when Liu Bei almost wanted to turn to Sun Quan, he could make a comeback with the battle of Chibi.

At present, Yang Shilang still has the whole Nanjun county. Xiangyang and Jiangling are still in Yang Shilang's hands.

Tongque even returned half of Jiangxia county to Yang Shilang to win him over.

From this point of view, we can imagine that the copper finch is not so simple.

Sun Jian's relationship with Chu Tian is also very bad recently.

Sun Jian thinks that Chu Tian violated the original marriage agreement, and Chu Tian does not know how to deal with the agreement with Sun Jian.

This is the disadvantage of political marriage. There are always unexpected contradictions.

"Order, Cao Cao of Hebei army, be ready to go south. He may need to support Jianghuai

When Chu Tian conquered Nanyang County, he was worried about Jianghuai.

Sun Jian was the military general who had been attacking Hefei before. Now that Tongque has ended the war with Jingzhou, it is very likely that Tongque will go to Hefei personally, or even bypass the Hefei guarded by Yue Fei and attack Guangling county.Yuefei's Jianghuai army comes from Jiujiang County, Guangling county and Runan County. There are about 200000 troops. Facing the Jiangdong army that has poured out, he is defeated by both fists and four hands. If Yue Fei is surrounded by Hefei City, Jiangdong army may choose to avoid Yue Fei.

Therefore, Chu Tian ordered Cao Cao to prepare for going south.

"Well, that's how it's arranged."

Chu Tian generally agreed with Wu Qi's plan.

In this expedition, there are four important cities to capture: Wancheng, Xinye, Fancheng and Xiangyang.

"Tomorrow, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Xia Houdun will be pioneers."

Chu Tian firmly eliminated the Dukes of Nanyang County. After Tang Dynasty, he sent 900000 troops to the south.

At this time, Chu Tian thought of Fu Jian, the king of heaven in the former Qin Dynasty.

In the battle of Feishui, Fu Jian sent more than 800000 troops south to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and was defeated by 80000 Beifu troops. Fu Jian's vanguard troops, 200000, were defeated. The rest of the former Qin troops were defeated when they heard that the former army was defeated.

The 900000 army also faces a problem, that is, few battlefields can accommodate such a large force, and even the roads will be trampled by 900000 troops

Nine times out of ten, the enemy will not choose to fight a decisive battle with 900000 troops in the open plain terrain.

Therefore, the actual battlefield may be the collision between the vanguard forces.

"Tai Shici, you lead the army of Xixue to help."

Chu Tian sent the Xixue army, one of the cavalry regiments of the guard army, to March south with Cao Ren and Cao Hong's iron wall army as pioneers.

"Yes."

Tai Shici turned on his horse with a long bow on his back.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong looked at each other, and they also mounted their horses.

Every military general is eager to make contributions. The war to pacify Jingzhou is the only chance for them to make contributions.

One eyed XiahouDun went out with them.

This army, with about 100000 men, has more troops than Guo Ziyi stationed in bowangpo.
