Li Ye agreed with Li Zhen's words, that is to say, he designated a major policy direction for Pinglu's actions in the future. With this program, there is no need to have any scruples when sending troops to the Central Plains to conquer Zhu and Wen.
Li Ye went on to say: "Zhu Wen couldn't help but despise the imperial court. He secretly sent troops to invade and occupy the neighboring towns, causing chaos in the Central Plains for several months, so that the people were deprived of their livelihoods. He is actually a traitor. The lonely king has the power to control Shandong's military and government by order of His Majesty. Now Zhu Wen Going against the trend, and the various towns in the Central Plains have sent envoys to Qingzhou many times to ask the lonely king for help.
Li Zhen, Cui Keli and other civil officials, Liu Dazheng, Shangguan Qingcheng and other military generals all got up to listen to the order: "I wish to follow His Highness's order!"
Li Ye shook his sleeves: "Okay! Since that's the case, everyone can speak freely about the strategy of dispatching troops."
Next, Li Ye discussed in detail the strategy of dispatching troops with everyone.
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 Dao soldiers to invade Lin Town from all directions. Now Zhu Wen's situation is roughly like this: Xiangdong defeated Huazhou Yicheng Festival The two towns are adjacent to Xue Wei's Tianping Army, so Xue Wei can't sleep and eat, so he keeps sending envoys to Qingzhou for help and soldiers to help defend Yunzhou; defeat Zhengzhou Heyang Festival in the west Dushi and Luoyang Dongdu defense envoy; go south to capture Xuzhou Zhongwu Army Jiedushi, and go southeast to capture Xuzhou Wuning Jiedushi."
"In addition to the original Bianzhou Xuanwu Army, Zhu Wen now has seven towns under his command. The scope of control starts from Tongguan in the west, reaches the seashore in the east, borders the Yellow River in the north, and reaches the Huaihe River in the south. Except for the two towns of Tianping and Pinglu, the entire Central Plains has been destroyed. It fell into his hands. Right now, Zhu Wen has millions of mercenaries, and the Central Plains is densely populated with tens of millions of people. It can be said that he has a huge power and has the ambition to swallow the world!"
Speaking of this, Cui Keli paused and glanced at Li Ye.
Li Yan signaled him to continue.
Cui Keli then continued: "After your Highness pacified Weibo and Dehedong, and conquered the entire north, there are nine towns under his command: Pinglu, Tianping, Henghai, Weibo, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Chengde, Yiwu, and Lulong. In terms of power, there are more than one million armored soldiers and tens of millions of people. In terms of power, they are not inferior to Zhu Wen, and even surpass them. Moreover, there are many brave and skilled soldiers in the Hebei feudal towns, especially Hedong, Weibo, Chengde, Lulong, etc. The old brand is strong, the soldiers are good and the generals are strong, and they can compete for supremacy in the world, which is a sharp weapon in the hands of His Highness."
Cui Keli stood up and cupped his hands to Li Ye: "Your Highness, please show me the map."
Li Ye waved his hand: "On the map."
"Yes." A handsome black-faced boy next to him responded and left.
After a while, the young man brought out a rolled map with two guards. Just looking at the width of the side, it was far more than one zhang.
Li Ye reached out and tapped the open space in the center of the hall, "Lay out here."
"Yes." The black-faced boy came to the hall, commanded two guards to place the map on the ground, and as they bent down to unroll the map, a huge square military map of mountains, rivers and city defenses appeared in front of everyone. .
The map was spread out, and everyone could see clearly that the perimeter of the map was two feet long, and the mountains, rivers and cities on it were all-encompassing.
The geography in the map starts from Shule in the west, extends to the sea in the east, borders Mobei in the north, and reaches Annan in the south. Every prefecture and county is accurately labeled, including the Western Regions, grasslands, Nanzhao, and Liaodong. It is majestic. Just by looking at it, it can make people feel proud and look down on all directions for a lifetime.
This map was specially drawn by Tsing Yi Yamen, presided over by Song Jiao herself, and it took five years to complete.
Its wide range and detailed geography are several times stronger than the map stored in the imperial palace. Among them, remote places such as the Western Regions, Nanzhao, grasslands, etc. are sharp warriors who have received special training from Song Jiao in the Tsingyi Yamen. It has been surveyed on the spot, and has detailed local chronicle information.
In a word, the "four square feet" map in front of him is not only the territory map of the Tang Dynasty, but also the map of the world in Li Ye's heart.
Seeing this map, all the civil servants and generals present could see the greatness of the country in Li Ye's heart.
They couldn't help but look at Li Ye, who was in the chief seat, in awe.
The black-faced boy bowed 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: "Your Highness's nine towns, most of them To the north of the Yellow River. From Hebei to the south, the Yellow River is a natural barrier. Zhu and Wen only need to defend a few important ports to contain our troops and make it impossible for the army to launch an effective offensive."
"However, the two towns of Pinglu and Tianping are located in the south of the Yellow River. Although they are in the corner, they can also serve as bridgeheads for us to deploy troops in the Central Plains. This provides us with the possibility to launch an offensive quickly and effectively. Especially Caozhou in the southwest of the Tianping Army , is shaped like a wedge, protruding toward the Central Plains, and bordering Bianzhou. If we gather elites to start from Caozhou and head straight for the Central Plains, we may get unexpected results!"
As soon as Cui Keli finished speaking, Liu Dazheng spoke up suddenly, took over his words, and said solemnly: "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 surrounded on three sides. The territory - the observation envoy of Gunhai, Gunzhou in the east, the Jiedu envoy of Yicheng, Huazhou in the west, and the Jiedu envoy of Xuanwu, Bianzhou in the south."
"These are Zhu Wen's forces, especially the land of Caozhou, which penetrates too deep into the Central Plains. If he uses troops to rush to the Central Plains from here, Zhu Wen can encircle from the two wings of Huazhou and Gunzhou, and break into the territory of the Tianping Army to cut off Caozhou and the rear. The connection with Yunzhou, or even directly capture Yunzhou. At that time, the food roads on the front line will be cut off, and the danger is extremely dangerous!"
Cui Keli glanced at Liu Dazheng.
Liu Dazheng continued: "Although Pinglu is bordered by Tianping, the five prefectures of Pinglu are already lined up on the south bank of the Bohai Sea, roughly in a straight line with the three prefectures of Tianping, and the included angle is very small. If Zhu and Wen gather heavy troops Taking Yunzhou, we have only one direction to rescue from Pinglu, and we can easily be intercepted by Zhu Wen's troops."
"Although there are not many prefectures and counties in the south of Pinglu, the Gunhai Observation Envoy has a large territory. It borders our Qizhou, Zizhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou. When we gather a large number of troops in Yunzhou, we are entangled by the enemy. Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses can easily enter Pinglu from Gunhai, posing a serious threat to our backs!"
Cui Keli put away the pole, faced Liu Dazheng and asked, "What does the general mean?"
Liu Dazheng came to Tutu, took the long pole from Cui Keli's hand, and pointed it in the direction of Gunzhou.
He said: "Caozhou of the Tianping Army protrudes into the Central Plains like a wedge, and it is the best place to use troops in the Central Plains. But to use troops from Caozhou, we must first ensure that the balance is complete, and the enemy cannot be given the opportunity to turn around from the two wings and outflank the rear. There is no need to worry about the two wings of the balance, the Yellow River is on the right, and Weibo is on the north. There is no need to worry about it. The left side is Dagon Prefecture, but it must be stabilized. So what I mean is that if you want to use troops from Caozhou, you must first stabilize the balance. To live in Tianping, you must first occupy Gunzhou!"
Cui Keli nodded, expressing his general agreement with Liu Dazheng.
Then he asked: "In the land of the three states of Tianping, although most of the right-wing territory is adjacent to the Yellow River, the right side of Caozhou is the Yicheng Army of Huazhou. Even if our army captures Gunzhou, Zhu Wen can still use troops from Huazhou to break into the back of Caozhou. .”
Liu Dazheng said seriously: "So the general's second opinion is that when using troops from Caozhou, we should not directly attack Xuanwu Army's Bianzhou, but capture the right-wing Huazhou!"
He pointed the long stick 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 Gun Navy in the east and the Yicheng Army in Huazhou in the west, then the entire northeast of the Central Plains will fall into our hands." At that time, we will be able to use our troops to go south in the vast area of seven or eight hundred miles from east to west!"
"At that time, whether we take the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou directly, or detour to Xuzhou and Xuzhou from the south, and detour to Zhengzhou and Luoyang in the north, we will meet and cooperate with the army from various northern feudal towns to enter the Central Plains, encircle and isolate Bianzhou, and finally assemble It’s easy to defeat them with one fell swoop! If this is the case, Bianzhou will become a turtle in a urn, and the Central Plains will be stable. Even if Zhu Wen resists in the corner, he will inevitably be defeated!”
As soon as Liu Dazheng finished speaking, all the generals in the hall immediately cheered.
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 general with the highest status and the greatest power under Li Ye's command, Liu Dazheng is often the candidate to lead the army, especially when Li Ye needs to lead the monks to act alone to deal with the opponent's big monk.
This middle-aged general, who once followed Li Xian in the South and North Wars, was fascinated by Li Xian's side, whether it was formation or military strategy, he was extraordinary. He is now also the number one military general under Li Ye's command, and he is about to break through the general realm and catch up with the former Li Cunxiao.
Although Li Ye didn't speak immediately, and decided on the strategy of dispatching troops rashly, he deeply agreed with Liu Dazheng's opinion on using troops in his heart.
However, at this moment, a clear voice sounded, with a bit of murderous spirit, and said slowly: "If Zhu Wen preemptively leads the troops to invade Caozhou and then besiege Yunzhou, what should we do?"
As soon as this rather inappropriate voice sounded, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone turned their heads and followed the prestige, and saw that the speaker had stood up and was walking towards the map indifferently.
Shangguan Qingcheng.
She didn't ask for the long pole in Liu Dazheng's hand, and stretched out her arm, pointing in the direction of the Central Plains, "Zhu Wen invaded the nearby towns, intending to include the entire Central Plains. For him, only the south of the Yellow River, the Huaihe River Only when all the land in the north and east of Tongguan is under his command will he have a solid foundation. At that time, he will occupy the Yellow River in the north to resist Hebei, overlook the Huai River in the south to resist Huainan, place heavy troops in the west to defend Tongguan, and face the sea in the east to consolidate Only Haiphong and the Central Plains can be regarded as impenetrable, and they can be called the foundation of hegemony."
"Only by fulfilling this premise can Zhu Wen stabilize the four realms, store food and build troops. If so, with the manpower and material resources of the Central Plains, it only takes three to five years for Zhu Wen to be able to have a strong army and a strong horse. At that time, whether he takes Guanzhong from the west , or the Northern Expedition to Hebei, they are quite sure. If Guanzhong or the North can be won in a few battles, then Zhu Wen's momentum will be like Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, and the great ancestor of this dynasty, unstoppable.
Shangguan Qingcheng looked at Li Ye, his delicate and beautiful face still showed no emotion, and his voice sounded like he was reading a book. But the words that popped out of the fiery red lips had the power to shake people's hearts.
She said: "With Zhu Wen's talent, if he wants to achieve great things, he must have such a plan. Then Caozhou and even the entire three states of Tianping are thorns in his flesh and must be eliminated quickly. Only when he wins the balance can he threaten Pinlu, Drive His Highness to Hebei, and then occupy the entire Central Plains, realizing the great plan of striving for world hegemony; if the balance is not balanced, he will be threatened and restrained by His Highness everywhere, and his actions will be difficult. The situation is no different from a tiger sleeping soundly on the side of the couch. ?”
"After several months of fighting, Zhu Wen's power in the Central Plains has now been established. We must face the power of His Highness directly. There is no reason to delay and get away with His Highness. Since the battle with Your Highness is imminent, so as the last general, Zhu Wen As long as you are not willing to lead your neck to be slaughtered, you must send troops quickly and rush to attack Caozhou!"

"Besides, he has Dao soldiers to help him. It is not very difficult to win Caozhou or the three Tianping states, so he will definitely act immediately!"
Speaking of this, Shangguan Qingcheng bent down and clasped his fists, "As Mr. Cui and General Liu said, Caozhou is a wedge protruding into the Central Plains, and Tianping is the bridgehead for the army to use the Central Plains. It is related to His Royal Highness's grand plan to flatten the Central Plains. Lost. If Caozhou is here, great things can be expected; if Caozhou is lost, once Zhu Wen guards the important mouth of the Yellow River and cuts off the connection between Pinglu and the Hebei feudal towns, Pinglu will be in a corner of the sea, and there will be no room for soldiers and horses to move. If you can’t get rescue from the Hubei Fanzhen, you will lose the game!”
"That's why the last general dares to speak out. Your Highness should follow Xue Wei's request for help and quickly dispatch troops to assist in the defense of Caozhou—the last general, and is willing to take Langyadu to go there immediately to guard this important place for your highness!"
