"Grand Governor, I have a plan, maybe you can give it a try!" Zhang Liang only spoke at this moment when everyone had roughly agreed.
"Military advisor, please speak!" Yue Fei gestured to Zhang Liang.
Yue Fei still believed in Zhang Liang very much. His intelligence was close to that of a demon. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a man of extraordinary talent. Moreover, the strategy of attacking Jingbei first was proposed to Li Xiang by Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang must have thought more about this than others.
"Since Kong Ming proposed to split the Han barbarians, Na Liang came to a backyard to start a fire!" Zhang Liang chuckled, then slowly pointed to a location on the map and said slowly.
"Shan Yue!" Everyone looked at the location pointed out by Zhang Liang, and most of them began to think deeply.
"Military advisor, as far as I know, Shanyue has been surviving in the hands of the Yangzhou Army over the years, and it is no longer what it was back then. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also left enough men to defend Shanyue!" After a while, Qin Qiong was the first to raise his doubts.
Indeed, if you want to set Zhu Yuanzhang's backyard on fire, it doesn't matter whether the fire is big or small, but the first premise is that the fire can burn into Zhu Yuanzhang's backyard.
But Zhu Yuanzhang left enough troops to defend Shanyue. It's not that Qin Qiong looked down on Shanyue. With their little strength, there was really no feasibility.
If this cannot be resolved, even if they can provoke Shankoshi, it will not help in the end.
Just like the coalition forces of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Chi You and other princes in the north, although they came to attack Li Xiang aggressively, as long as they could not break through the gate of Hulao Pass, they could not really threaten Li Xiang at all. Then what should Yue Fei do here? You have to fight as hard as you want!
"The deputy governor's words are reasonable, but today is different from the past!"
"Presumably Zhu Yuanzhang has continued to mobilize troops from Yangzhou at this moment. If we can really persuade Shan Yue to take action, there may not be no opportunity to take advantage of it!" Zhang Liang explained to Qin Qiong with a smile.
"Zhu Yuanzhang wants to increase his troops in Jingbei according to the wishes of the military advisor!" After hearing what Zhang Liang said, all the generals began to cheer up. If Zhu Yuanzhang really continues to increase his troops, it may cause a lot of trouble to this battle.
"Yes, and no!" Zhang Liang nodded, but then shook his head again.
However, at this time, Qi Jiguang guessed what Zhang Liang meant and took the initiative to speak out. Since Zhu Yuanzhang did not send more troops to Jingbei, he could only be preparing a retreat for himself.
"General Qi's words are exactly what Liang Zhi thought!" Sure enough, in the next moment, Zhang Liang confirmed Qi Jiguang's guess.
However, Qi Jiguang was not happy about this. Zhu Yuanzhang's increase in troops directly ruined Qi Jiguang's opportunity.
After Tan Daoji captured Liu Yu alive, all the generals were already rubbing their hands and fixing their eyes on Liu Xiu. However, with more monks and less flesh, it was not easy to grab this credit.
Therefore, Qi Jiguang thought of another way to attack Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he was also a prince, Zhu Yuanzhang's value at this time was higher than that of Liu Xiu.
In any case, if they wait until they conquer Jiangling, the capture of Jingbei will be nearing the end, and the rest only needs them to finish it step by step. At this time, Liu Xiu's symbolic significance is greater than its meaning.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is different. Zhu Yuanzhang's current territory is still good, and the Jin army has not occupied any land there. If Zhu Yuanzhang can be held in hand at this time, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent occupation of Yangzhou and Jingnan.
If it can be done well, the significance of capturing Zhu Yuanzhang alive is not even less than the significance of occupying the entire Jingbei this time.
However, once Zhu Yuanzhang sends a large group of reinforcements to meet him, Qi Jiguang will be caught blind, and his chance of capturing Zhu Yuanzhang alive will be reduced to the minimum.
This part of the naval force in Qi Jiguang's hands was still transferred from the Yellow River navy, and it was only ten thousand in full. The naval power he currently has in his hands is simply not enough to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang's naval power.
The most important thing is that if we really want to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang's naval force, if the losses are too heavy, it will also be a problem for Qi Jiguang's development. The 10,000 naval forces he brought are what he plans to form the Yangtze River Navy next. core strength.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to send a large force to respond to him, Qi Jiguang began to worry. This was definitely not good news for him.
Inside the tent, although Zhang Liang had already said that Zhu Yuanzhang would mobilize troops from Yangzhou, and if he contacted Shan Yue at this time, he might be able to take advantage of it, the faces of the generals were still extremely serious, and they Not a moment of relaxation.
Although the plan to provoke Shangoe to take action has become feasible, there is another problem that needs to be solved before that, and that is the issue of candidates to go to Shangoe this time.
If this plan succeeds, it will definitely be a great success, but the benefits also come with risks. If you go down this road, the risks involved are not something everyone can bear.
In fact, people who go to Shanyue this time may not necessarily be able to return smoothly, and they may die on the way.
Shanyue's territory is no longer connected to the Jin army's territory. If you want to go to Shanyue's territory and get closer, you must pass through Zhu Yuanzhang's territory. If you take a slightly longer route, it is to enter Shanyue from Xiang Yu's territory.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu, no matter which side they are, are not friendly to the Jin army. Moreover, due to Wang Liao's series of actions in Jingnan, even if he did not go directly to Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, but to Xiang Yu's territory, he would have to pass through Liu Xiu's territory before that.
This road was already extremely dangerous when we went there, and it will only be more dangerous on the way back than on the way there.
Once the man who went to Shanyue really contacted Shanyue, Zhang Liang's plan could go smoothly and Zhu Yuanzhang's backyard was successfully set on fire.
But at this time, the existence of the person heading to Shanyue must have been exposed. When he wanted to come back again, how could Zhu Yuanzhang let him back easily? There might be some dragnet waiting for him along the way.
Therefore, although he knew that going to Shangoe this time would definitely be a huge opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Once he came back, getting a promotion and salary increase, and marrying Bai Fumei would no longer be a dream, but the crisis behind it could not be ignored.
Therefore, many people have begun to think deeply at this time and carefully consider the pros and cons.
