v5 Chapter 150： Military council

Li Zheng agreed with Li Zhen's remarks, that is, he designated a major political direction for Pinglu's future actions. With this program, sending troops to the Central Plains to conquer Zhu Wen would not require any more jealousy.

Li Xun continued: "Zhu Wenmu was unable to despise the court, sent soldiers to occupy the neighboring town in private, and caused the people in the Central Plains for months, so that the people did n’t talk about life. He was actually a traitor. He was ordered by His Majesty to control the military power in Shandong. The persecutions of the Central Plains have sent messengers to Qingzhou several times to ask for help from the King of Solitude. At this moment, the King of War prepared to set up the Central Plains to conquer the invaders, and what do they think of Zheng Gangji? "

Li Zhen, Cui Keli, and other civilian officials, Liu Dazheng, Shangguan Qingcheng, and other generals all stood up and heard the orders: "Will obey His Royal Highness!"

Li Yan shook his sleeves: "Okay! In this case, as for the strategy of sending troops, you can just speak freely."

Next, Li Yan discussed the strategy for troops with the people in detail.

After Li Zhen returned to the seat, Cui Keli straightened up in his seat, and said slowly: "For several months, Zhu Wen has relied on soldiers to help each other and invaded Linzhen with soldiers on all sides. At present, Zhu Wen's situation is roughly the same: defeating Huazhou Yicheng in the east Du Shi and Luzhou Erhai Observer, these two towns are adjacent to Xue Wei ’s Tianping Army, so Xue Wei is sleepy and sleepy, and constantly sends envoys to ask for help from Qingzhou, and ask the soldiers ’association to prevent Luzhou; defeat Zhengzhou Heyang Festival to the west Du Shi and Luoyang Dongdu defense ambassadors; captured Xuzhou Zhongwu Army Jiedushi to the south, and captured Xuzhou Wuning Jiedushi to the southeast. "

"In addition to the original Luzhou Xuanwu Army, there are now seven towns under Zhu Wen's control. The control range starts from Tongguan in the west, to the seafront in the east, to the Yellow River in the north, and to the Huaihe river in the south. It is in his hands. At present Zhu Wen has a million mercenaries, and the Central Plains is densely populated. The people are as many as tens of millions. It is a huge force and already has the ambition to swallow the world! "

Speaking of this, Trek Leigh paused and glanced at Li Yan.

Li Yan motioned him to continue.

Cui Keli then went on to say: "His Royal Highness calmed Weibo and Dehedong, and after admiring the whole North, His Majesty had Pinglu, Tianping, Henghai, Weibo, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Chengde, Yiwu, and Lu Longjiu There are more than one million soldiers and tens of millions of people. The power is not lost to Zhu Wen, and it is even better than that. And there are many brave warriors in Hebei Fanzhen, especially Hedong, Weibo, Chengde, Lu Long, etc. The old town is strong, the soldiers will be strong, and they can compete for the world. It is a weapon for His Highness. "

Cui Keli stood up and arched his hand to Li Yan: "Please show your map to your Highness."

Li Yan waved his hand: "On the map."

"Yes." A dark-faced young man next to him answered.

Xu Xun, the young man and his two guards carried out a rolled map, and looking at the width of the side, it was already more than one foot.

Li Min reached out and nodded the open space in the middle of the hall, "spread here."

"Yes." The dark-faced boy came to the hall and directed the two guards to place the map on the ground. As they bent over and rolled out the map, a huge boxy mountain and town defense military map appeared in front of everyone. .

The map spread out, and everyone saw it clearly. The map was two feet long, and it was all-encompassing.

Geography in the picture starts from Shule in the west, to the sea in the east, Mobei in the north, and Annan in the south. It is carefully labeled to each state and county. It includes the western region, grassland, south China, and eastern Liaoning, and the atmosphere is magnificent. Just a glance can make you live a life full of pride.

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

Its broad scope and detailed geography are several times stronger than the maps of the treasury in the imperial palace. The remote areas of the Western Region, Nanzhao, and Prairie are all sharp men trained by Song Jiao in the Tsing Yi Qianmen. Go to the field survey and have detailed local history information.

In a nutshell, the public map of this "four square feet" is not just a map of the Tang Dynasty, but a map of the world in Li Zhi's heart.

Seeing this map, the civil servants and generals present could see the size of the mountains in Li Zhi's heart.

They couldn't help looking at Li Yan, who was the main seat, and respected him.

The dark-faced boy bowed and handed a long pole, and Cui Li shook his sleeves. After taking it, he came to the map and pointed towards the center of the map, expressing his spirits and chanting: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty's Nine Towns, most It ’s north of the Yellow River. From the south with Hebei ’s troops, the Yellow River is a natural barrier. Zhu Wen only needs to hold a few important entrances, and he can stop our front and prevent the army from launching an effective offensive. ”

"However, the towns of Pinglu and Tianping are south of the Yellow River. Although they are in the corner, they can also be used as bridgeheads in the Central Plains. This provides us with the possibility to launch an offensive quickly and effectively. Especially in Caozhou, southwest of the Tianping Army. , Even more like a wedge, protruding towards the Central Plains, and bordering Luzhou. If you gather the elite from Caozhou, face the Central Plains with a single knife, or you can get unexpected results! "

Cui Keli's words fell squarely, and Liu Dazheng suddenly made a sound. After taking his words, his expression was sober: "The land of the three states of the Tianping Army is lined up northeast and southwest. Because of the narrow terrain, it is now surrounded by three sides. Situation-Observer of Erhai Lake, Yinzhou in the east, Jiushi Jiushi in Huazhou in the west, Xuanwu Jiedushi in Yinzhou in the south. "

"These are the forces of Zhu Wen, especially in the land of Caozhou. If they penetrate the Central Plains too far from here, Zhu Wen will be encircled from the two sides of Huazhou and Luzhou, and will enter the territory of the Tianping Army to cut off Caozhou and the rear. The link between Quzhou and even directly captured Quzhou. At that time, the food lane on the front line will be cut off, and it is extremely dangerous! "

Cui Keli glanced at Liu Dazheng.

Liu Dazheng continued: "Although Pinglu borders Tianping, the land of the five states of Pinglu was originally lined up on the south coast of the Bohai Sea, and it was roughly straight with the three states of Tianping. The angle was small. If Zhu Wen assembled heavy soldiers, After capturing Luzhou, we have only one direction to rescue from Pinglu, and we can easily be intercepted by Zhu Wen's troops. "

"And the observation of Erhai Lake in the south of Pinglu, although there are not many counties and counties, the territory is large and borders our Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou, Laizhou. When we assembled heavily in Luzhou, we were entangled by enemy forces. , Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses can easily enter Pinglu from Erhai Lake, posing a serious threat to our stomachs! "

Cui Keli put away the long pole and asked Liu Dazheng, "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 Luzhou.

He said: "Caozhou of the Tianping Army, protruding into the Central Plains as a wedge, is the only place to use troops to the Central Plains. However, to use the troops from Caozhou, the balance must be ensured first, and the enemy cannot be given the opportunity to bypass the wings and conquer the rear. The two wings of the balance, facing the Yellow River to the right, and Wei Bo in the north, do n’t worry, it is a point that must be stabilized when you are near Luzhou on the left. So what I mean is that to use the troops from Caozhou, we must first stabilize the balance and stabilize it. To live in the balance, you must occupy Luzhou first! "

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

He then asked: "Although most of the right wing sites are adjacent to the Yellow River in the land of the three states, Caozhou Yicheng Army is on the right side of Caozhou. Even if our army captures Luzhou, Zhu Wen can still use Caozhou to enter Caozhou. . "

Liu Dazheng said earnestly: "So the second opinion of the general is that using troops from Caozhou should not directly attack Luanzhou of the Xuanwu Army, but the right-wing Huazhou!"

He pointed the long pole in his hand to the north of Luzhou, and drew a straight line from the Yellow River to the east. "If we can take the Luzhou navy to the east and the Huazhou Yicheng army to the west, the entire northeast of the Central Plains will fall into us. Within the control of the vast area of ​​seven or eight hundred miles from east to west, we can let us use our troops to go south! "

"By then, whether we were taking the Xuanwu Army in Luzhou directly, or detouring from Xuzhou and Xuzhou in the south, Zhengzhou and Luoyang in the north, we responded and cooperated with the army of the northern vassal towns into the Central Plains, surrounded and isolated Luzhou, and assembled at the end. It is easy to defeat heavy soldiers in one fell swoop! If this is the case, Luzhou will become a slain in the middle, and the Central Plains will be able to settle, even if Zhu Wen loses his resistance, he will inevitably lose his fate! "

As soon as Liu Dazheng had finished speaking, the generals in the hall immediately applauded.

Even Li Zhen and Cui Keli's eyes looking at Liu Dazheng were full of admiration and admiration. They obviously agreed with the opinion of the first general in the army.

As His Majesty Li's highest-ranking and most powerful general, Liu Dazheng is often a candidate for commanding the army, especially when Li Huan needs to take the monk group alone to resolve the other monk.

This middle-aged general, who had followed Li Xiannan's northward battle, was dazzled by Li Xian, whether in lineup or military strategy. He is now the first person in the ranks of soldiers under the command of Li Ji, and is about to break through the realm of generals to catch up with Li Cunxiao of the past.

Although Li Xun did not speak immediately, and pretended to make a plan for sending troops, he deeply agreed with Liu Dazheng's opinions on using troops.

However, at this moment, a light voice sounded, with a bit of cutting spirit, and said slowly: "What if Zhu Wen preempted and led troops to occupy Caozhou, and then besieged Chenzhou?"

This rather outdated voice immediately caught everyone's attention. Everyone turned around and looked around, and saw that the speaker had stood up, and looked towards the map indifferently.

Shangguan allure.

She didn't go for the long pole in Liu Dazheng's hands, she stretched out her arm straight and pointed in the direction of the Central Plains. "Zhu Wen invaded the neighboring towns and intentionally included the entire Central Plains in his pocket. For him, only the south of the Yellow River and the Huai River To the north and east of Tongguan, all the income from the site is considered to have a solid foundation. At that time, he will be based on the Yellow River in the north to resist Hebei, the Huaihe River in the south to resist Huainan, and heavy soldiers in the west to prevent Tongguan. For Haiphong, the Central Plains can only be regarded as entrenched, so it can be regarded as the foundation of domination. "

"Only if this premise is fulfilled, Zhu Wen can stabilize the four realms and repair troops. 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 strong and strong. , Or the Northern Expedition to Hebei, they are quite sure. If they can fight in Guanzhong or the North, then the situation of Zhu Wen will be unstoppable like the Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty and the ancestor of the dynasty.

Shangguan glanced at Li Yan, his beautiful face was still full of emotions, and his voice was like reading a book. But the words popping out of the fiery red lips have shocking power.

She said: "With the talent of Zhu Wen, if he wants to achieve a great cause, he must be so intent, so Caozhou and even the entire three states of the balance are thorns in his eyes and must be removed quickly. Only with the balance can he intimidate Pinglu. His Royal Highness rushed to Hebei, and according to the entire Central Plains, to achieve the great cause of hegemony in the world; without the balance, he had to be threatened and constrained by His Highness everywhere, and his actions were difficult. The situation was tantamount to sleeping on the side of the couch. How could he feel at ease? ? "

"After several months of battle, now that Zhu Wen has become a force in the Central Plains, he must face His Royal Highness without any further delay to avoid His Royal Highness. Since the dispute with His Highness is imminent, I will see him in the end. As long as you are not willing to be killed, you will quickly send troops to attack Caozhou! "

"And he has the help of soldiers. It is not difficult to get Caozhou or Tianping Sanzhou, so he will act immediately!"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Qingcheng leaned down and hugged his fists. "As Mr. Cui and General Liu said, Caozhou is a wedge protruding into the Central Plains, and the balance is a bridgehead for the army to use Central Plains. It has to do with His Royal Highness's expedition. If Caozhou is present, major events can be expected; if Caozhou is lost, once Zhu Wen keeps the important Jinkou of the Yellow River and cuts off the connection between Pinglu and Hebei Fanzhen, the cape of Pinglu is in a blind spot, and there is no room for soldiers and horses to move, more Cannot get rescue from Hubei Fanzhen, the defeat has been settled! "

"Therefore, I will dare to speak boldly, Your Highness should ask Xue Wei for help, and send troops to help defend Caozhou quickly-The General, I'd like to take the Spear to go immediately, and hold the place for His Highness!"
