When Liu Zhixing heard the words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered.
The matter of running the Guanxue, Guozijian and Sunzijian is not now, but in the future. When Wu Nian becomes king in the future, he can hold the imperial examination.
Opening courses to obtain scholars can not only attract outstanding young officials, but also stabilize the hearts of scholars.
But what really matters is now.
It is the placement of the City Shipping Department, the Salt and Iron Franchise, and six soldiers guarding ten thousand households.
The City Shipping Department and the Salt and Iron franchise are currently continuously absorbing wealth from the private sector to assist the Han general's government. Compared to the national debt, this is income, not borrowing. Although the salt and iron franchise seems to be competing with the people for profit, the people have no complaints.
This is due to Wu Nian's huge prestige.
As for the garrison soldiers of six thousand households.
Once the Mongols attack, they will take up arms and resist vigorously.
And the most amazing thing is. The Queen Mother of Goguryeo sent someone here and assumed the posture of being a wallflower. In this way, they don't have to think too much about the problem that Goguryeo will suddenly lead troops to kill.
They only fight against the Meng Yuan people and only think of ways to seize the Guangyang and Huanglong mansions.
That's it.
Liu Zhixing thought about it in his mind for a long time, and after considering all aspects, he raised his head, raised his hand to Wu Nian and said, "After the autumn harvest, we can send troops to attack Guangyang Mansion."
"Yes." Wu young man nodded lightly, showing joy.
This is the affirmation of the General Manager.
let's hit. no problem.
As for after the autumn grain. First, when the grain is harvested, there is food in hand and there is no panic. Second, autumn and winter are cooler.
"Although it is an attack, the defense cannot be neglected. Although there are six guards to guard Wanhu, as a supplement. But the Meng Yuan people are too strong, and I must leave some captains to guard the three houses. Let's discuss it."
After that, Wu Nian got up and came to the door, and said to a soldier on the right side of the door: "Go get the map."
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
After a while, two soldiers brought a desk and placed it in the center of the living room. On the desk, a map of Liaodong's mountains and rivers is spread out, with all key places marked.
"Nanhai Prefecture here borders Huanglong Prefecture, and most places are flat. It is the top priority of defense. If we attack Guangyang Prefecture, Chunyuan may attack Nanhai Prefecture, thereby surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao."
"Xiong Wuwo in Shanhaiguan still has 30,000 elite soldiers in hand. He may also send troops to Nanhai Mansion to echo Chunyuan."
"On the contrary. Yingqing Mansion is located in the mountains, and it is not easy to march, set up, or attack. Now there are two elite soldiers guarding ten thousand households, so there is no pressure from the defense."
"Now Zhang Jin is guarding Shanhaiguan in the south of Nanhai Prefecture. Feng Chong and Liu Wu are guarding Chunyuan in the north of Nanhai Prefecture. Plus the two guards guarding ten thousand households, there are five soldiers of ten thousand households. Plus Miss Wei from Haitian City, It is a nail planted in Huanglong Mansion, threatening the security of Huanglong Mansion all the time."
"You don't have to worry about this defensive force."
"But in order to prevent accidents from happening. We have to leave a school captain in Yingqing Mansion as support."
"I plan to mobilize Tieniu back from the north to guard Jiang County."
"I took six captains including Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Long Qie, Zhao Yanting, Guan Jinhan, and Huang Hu to attack Guangyang Mansion. What do you think?"
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing came to the desk and bent down to look at the map. Wu Nian had been thinking about attacking for more than a day or two. This time, he expressed his thoughts in one go, very smoothly.
Liu Zhixing also had plans for this. While looking at the map, he nodded in agreement with Wu Nian.
In fact, fighting is not as simple as pure offense and defense.
Six troops guarding ten thousand households were scattered in three prefectures. Each government received two thousand households, which was a complete garrison force responsible for defending the city but not for fighting outside the city.
Their equipment, treatment, and morale can only be used to defend the city, and they are definitely no match for the Mongolian soldiers in the field.
However, Zhang Jin, Liu Wu, and Feng Chong, the three captains guarding Nanhai Mansion, plus Wei Ru, guarding Haitian City, were two thousand enemies.
Three infantry with ten thousand households and one cavalry with ten thousand households are definitely not just as simple as defense.
If Chunyuan leads six Mongolian soldiers from Huanglong Mansion with ten thousand households to go south to Huanglong Mansion, they will be responsible for the defense. Ruo Chunyuan led the Meng Yuan soldiers eastward to rescue Guangyang Mansion.
They can gather together and send troops to Huanglong Mansion as support.
Tieniu guards Jiang County to prevent accidents.
Wu Nian's layout can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and support each other. It can be said that he has a deep understanding of the art of war and is a superior layout.
But it's not easy either.
Guangyang Mansion was guarded by three Mongolian and Yuan households, namely Jin Ruiyun, Wanyanxian and Hou Wancheng.
The strength of the two sides was two to one.
The Meng Yuan side also had the advantage of defending the city. If there is a real fight or a stupid fight, there is only one outcome, both sides will suffer.
Attacking is not easy.
An attack like this one against Wang Zhongbi is hard to come by.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to fight. Isn’t that how they all come here?
Liu Zhixing stretched out his right hand, pointed his index and middle fingers together like swords, pointed at a mountain top on the map, and said: "The most important thing is here. Xingshi Mountain."
Wu Nian looked at it intently, smiled and nodded, "Yes. Xingshi Mountain."
"Now, there seems to be a force of five thousand households guarding this mountain. But the general is a Han. His name is Liu Chong. The Liu family has served the Meng Yuan Dynasty for three generations, and he is a real lackey."
"Liu Chong was originally a member of the Ten Thousand Households of the Han family. Later, when the Han Ten Thousand Households were dissolved, he became idle. He was recently appointed by Chunyuan to guard Xingshi Mountain. There are grains and grass in the mountain that can be used for one or two years."
"This man is extremely strong in both martial arts and military leadership. He is known as the [No. 1 General of the Mongolian, Yuan, and Han Dynasties]."
At this point, Wu Nian's tone became solemn again. He had never fought against Liu Chong, and he didn't know whether he was really capable or just bragging.
But under the great reputation, there must be real materials. This man named Liu Chong must be a difficult opponent.
The terrain of Xingshi Mountain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
There is a water source.
Liu Chong stocked up on food and grass, enough to last him more than a year.
To attack this mountain, it would take a lot of effort. But this mountain must also be conquered.
From Huanglong Mansion to Guangyang Mansion, there is only one broad road, which is Xingshi Road.
The official road is named after this Xingshi Mountain. As long as Xingshi Mountain is captured, Xingshi Road can be defended. Block the direct contact between the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers between Huanglong Mansion and Guangyang Mansion.
At that time, if Chun Yuan wanted to rescue Guangyang Mansion, he would have to take a detour to the territory of Meng Yuan, and he would be delayed for a long time on the way.
This Xingshi Mountain is not the place that determines victory or defeat, but it is the basis for attacking Guangyang Mansion.
"How can we break through such a city? It is guarded by strong generals and fierce Mongolian warriors with five thousand households. The terrain is difficult, there is sufficient food and grass, and there are roads with water sources?"
Wu Nian and Liu Zhixing looked down at the map, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
