Views:

After Shangguan Qingcheng finished speaking, all the generals were either in a daze or lost in thought, and needles could be heard in the hall for a while.

It is undeniable that Shangguan Qingcheng's insights are indeed penetrating, and it can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Cui Keli's and Liu Dazheng's military tactics before were only based on what Pinglu should do, but did not take into account Zhu Wen's ideas and responses. Everyone did not expect Shangguan Qingcheng's analysis from Zhu Wen's standpoint, but after listening to it now, they feel that it is reasonable and cannot be refuted.

If this is the case, the situation in Caozhou is already very urgent, even the situation of Tianping and Pinglu is not without danger. Furthermore, Li Ye's grand plan of conquering the Central Plains and clearing up the universe has reached a critical moment where every second must be raced against time.

The army has not yet been dispatched, but the opportunity to fight has been revealed. The first core of the success or failure of the war is who is in control of Caozhou!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Shangguan Qingcheng with respect and admiration. Being able to think of problems that others can't think of is what makes him extraordinary, and it reflects Shangguan Qingcheng's extraordinary strategic vision.

As a military general, if he wants to win the battlefield, become a general or even a famous general, his broad strategic vision and precise analysis are no different from the Taoism monks who open the door to the fairyland.

"What General Shangguan said is indeed reasonable. The most important thing right now is Caozhou. It seems that we must be prepared." Li Zhen expressed his opinion, "If Lang Yadu supports Caozhou, we must send monster monks to respond. Deal with Zhu Wen's Taoist soldiers."

Li Zhen's words received everyone's response and support. Regarding Shangguan Qingcheng's action to support Caozhou, everyone's opinions quickly reached a consensus.

Lang Yadu is the elite of the Pinglu Army, and Shangguan Qingcheng is a military general, and other generals cannot compete for this job.

Li Ye said: "It is imperative to support Caozhou, but there is no need to panic, the corresponding coordinated actions must be planned together."

With that said, he stood up, came to the map, took the long pole from Liu Dazheng, and pointed at Huazhou and Gunzhou around Caozhou. Correspondingly, the soldiers and horses of the northern feudal towns must be thrown into the battlefield immediately, striving to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible, so as to respond to the frontal offensive of the Pinglu army, contain Zhu Wen's soldiers and horses, and threaten the hinterland of Bianzhou from the north .”

The long pole in Li Ye's hand slid west along the Yellow River, "Across the river from the Tianping Army and the Yicheng Army are the Wei Bo Army and Zhaoyi Army in Hebei. Heyang Army, Luoyang Dongdu Army."

"If the Hedong Army can join the Zhaoyi Army and cross the Yellow River from Zezhou, it will be able to attack Heyang and Luoyang, and clear the left side of the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou. At that time, it will cooperate with the Pinglu Army that will attack from the direction of Caozhou on the right side of Bianzhou. It can form a siege of Bianzhou and compress the main force of Zhu and Wen's army within a radius of 200 miles of Bianzhou."

"If the situation can develop smoothly and Caozhou is not lost, our army on the east road will break through Gunzhou and go down to Xuzhou, and then we will be able to meet the remnants of Qin Zongquan in Xuzhou to the west and surround the east and south of Bianzhou. In addition, we will cooperate with the Zhaoyi Army who entered the Central Plains from the west, The Hedong army can form an iron barrel formation and nail Zhu and Wen's army to Bianzhou, so Zhu and Wen's defeat will only happen overnight!"

These words directly determined the overall strategic policy and action plan for the army to conquer the Central Plains this time.

There is a clear division of labor between the troops in all directions. If they can successfully complete their respective tasks, they will be able to sweep the Central Plains!

Liu Dazheng's eyes lit up, and he clasped his fists excitedly: "His Royal Highness's arrangement is the best strategy for using troops, and the general admires it!"

All the generals applauded together.

Li Ye shook his head, "This is just a strategic layout. Although the idea is good, there is still an important problem that must be solved in order to realize this strategy."

Saying that, the long pole in Li Ye's hand slid westward along the Yellow River again, arrived at the corner of the Yellow River, and then stopped here.

The place pointed at the top of the long pole is Hezhongfu, where the Yellow River diverts its course to the north—or in other words, the Yellow River, which flows from north to south, diverts its course to the east. And in Hezhong Mansion is not on the west side of the Yellow River, but on the east side.

Hezhong Mansion is adjacent to the Zhaoyi Army to the east and the Hedong Army to the north.

There is a powerful vassal army in Hezhong Prefecture, namely the Hezhong Army.

Because there is no need to cross the river, and there are no mountains as barriers, it is very convenient for the Hezhong army to attack the Zhaoyi army and the Hedong army.

Once the Zhaoyi Army and the Hedong Army crossed the Yellow River south to attack Zhu Wen's Heyang Army and the Luoyang Dongdu Army, and the Hezhong Army attacked the flank of the army from the west, then the Zhaoyi Army and the Hedong Army would face great trouble. The situation is very unfavorable.

Wang Chongrong, the military governor of Hezhong, was defeated by Li Maozhen earlier, and now Hezhong Mansion is Li Maozhen's territory!

The main area controlled by Li Maozhen is Guanzhong, the prefectures and counties west of Tongguan. Hezhong Mansion is the only territory under Li Maozhen's command east of the Yellow River and Tongguan.

For Li Maozhen, the Hezhong Mansion is the key point for him to leave the customs and enter the Central Plains and the North, and it is a necessary bridgehead. At the beginning, he quickly seized the Hezhong Mansion, which was obviously the result of his unique strategic vision.

For Li Ye, the existence of the Hezhong Mansion made his war to conquer the Central Plains change from a two-party dispute with Zhu Wen to a three-party competition. It was impossible for him to ignore Li Maozhen, nor could he.

Li Ye looked around at everyone: "The most serious situation is that when the Zhaoyi Army and the Hedong Army crossed the Yellow River south, they were intercepted by Zhu Wen's heavy troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, and at the same time they were attacked from the side by the Hezhong Army. So once the Zhaoyi Army and the Hedong Army If you don't fight well, you will be in danger of being on the banks of the Yellow River!"

After saying this, he stopped and watched everyone's reaction.

Zhao Polu pondered: "Will Li Maozhen definitely attack us? If we move fast enough, can we let the Zhaoyi Army and the Hedong Army cross the Yellow River before Li Maozhen reacts? If we sweep the Central Plains fast enough... . . . ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhen interrupted him.

Li Zhen said firmly: "Li Maozhen will definitely fight!"

In the eyes of everyone, he said in a low voice, "Li Maozhen coerced the emperor to make the princes, in order to fight for supremacy in the world, and the two hegemonies in the Central Plains are fighting, how could he stay out of the matter? Li Maozhen has military support, and his strength should not be underestimated, but he must fight alone Dao soldiers and monster monks are undoubtedly still a little short of time. So even if he had the ambition to go out of the Central Plains before, he didn't have a suitable opportunity, but now it's different. The snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit, I'm afraid Li Maozhen would have waited For this day!"

He looked at the map and pointed in the direction of Hezhong Mansion from a distance, "From Hezhong Mansion to the east, you can attack the Zhaoyi Army, Wei Bo Army, and Henghai Army all the way to the Bohai Sea, overlooking Henan; from Hezhong Mansion to the north, you can attack the Hedong Army and Chengde Army all the way." , Lu Longjun, went straight to Saibei, swept across the north, and looked at the entire Central Plains!"

"From Tongguan to the east, as long as Luoyang, the eastern capital, can be conquered, you can enter the hinterland of the Central Plains in the east, border Pinglu in the north, and go down to the Huaihe River in the south; you can attack Xiangyang and Jingzhou in the south, and occupy the middle reaches of the river! In the future, no matter whether he marches downstream In the south of the Yangtze River, it is easy to lead troops to the south of Dongting Lake!"

Li Zhen's eyes are sharp: "In a word, if Li Maozhen wants to win the world, he must go out of the Guandong and enter! But now he holds the Hezhong Mansion and Tongguan, so it is very convenient to advance and retreat. Under this situation, the Central Plains has changed, and he How can you stand still?"

After everyone heard Li Zhen's words, they all looked terrified, and many people gasped at that moment.

Li Ye saw that everyone's complexion was not good, so he smiled: "Li Maozhen is indeed troublesome, but in the end, it's just a two-party battle for supremacy that has turned into a three-party melee. Among these three parties, we are the most powerful, my lords." Why be timid before fighting?"

Hearing what Li Ye said, some generals who lost their composure blushed, feeling ashamed.

Zhao Polu held his neck even more and said: "When we talk about fighting on the battlefield, when have we ever been afraid? There is nothing in this world that can make our Pinglu army fear! Your Highness, just rest assured, if Li Maozhen dares to intervene, the last general will definitely fight Burst his dog's head!"

"Yes! If Li Maozhen doesn't come, it's fine. If he comes, he's courting death!"

"I've been displeased with that white-faced boy for a long time, and this time I'm going to beat him up!"

The generals started to quarrel, and the dull atmosphere subsided a lot.

Li Ye returned to the main seat and sat down, raising his hand to signal that everyone should also take their seats.

When everyone was seated, he said calmly: "Li Maozhen will definitely send troops, there is no doubt about it, and we don't have to take chances. The question now is when and how he will use troops." Send troops. Only by clarifying these two points can we deal with it."
