"You have all heard Chen Gong's proposal. Please share your opinions!"
Wait until Chen Gong leaves.
Wang Jing immediately summoned the officials in the palace in Ancheng.
"I think Chen Gong's words are not unreasonable. After all, the Western Chu army and our army are adjacent to each other. The distance is too close. Sooner or later, there will be a conflict between the other party and our army. No, there has already been a conflict..."
Bu Zhao spoke first.
When Mai Tiezhang was guarding Xihe Town, he tested and fought with Xiang Guan of the Western Chu Army.
There were countless small-scale conflicts, but there was no large-scale fighting.
"I agree! Xiang Yu is an unparalleled general. If this person comes, he will definitely be the best general in the world. Coupled with the soldiers and horses of Western Chu under his command, once he starts a war with our army, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Even if the king can recruit the soldier Han Xin, our army will suffer great losses..."
Xie Hui followed.
The name Xiang Yu sounds like it will be difficult to deal with. Once he shows his power, the seven provinces in Huaibei Province will become a battlefield for the opponent.
By then, even if Han Xin joins and defeats Xiang Yu, Huaibei Province will suffer heavy losses.
The Seven Mansion in Huaibei is the foundation of Wang Jing. It can provide him with a large amount of food, grass and materials every year, and it is also the source of troops for the army.
This place was damaged, and the vitality of the Huai army was lost.
At that time, Wang Jing defeated the Western Chu army and suffered heavy losses, but what he captured were Lingbi and Suzhou, which were not prosperous territories... It can be said that the gain outweighed the loss.
"My opinion is to strike first and destroy the Western Chu army before Xiang Yu appears! Didn't Chen Gong say that Gao Shun's trap camp and Bingzhou cavalry can join forces southward?"
"With the help of the trapped camp and the Bingzhou cavalry, plus our army of one million troops, we will definitely be able to destroy Western Chu with lightning speed!"
Xie Hui said with some excitement.
Li Shanchang, Zhang Guiba, and Mai Tiezhang did not speak. Judging from their expressions, they obviously agreed.
"General Murong, what do you think?"
Wang Jing asked.
Murong Shaozong, who had an elegant and calm temperament, felt it was inconvenient for him to make suggestions on matters related to military affairs as a newly surrendered general.
But when Wang Jing asked him what he thought, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Knowing that King Huai did not regard him as an outsider.
So he calmed down and said: "It would be best if we can defeat the Western Chu army with lightning speed. However, I am worried that among the Western Chu army, although the overlord Xiang Yu has not yet arrived, Long Qie and Zhongli will Mei and Xiang Zhuang are both generals!"
"And Fan Zeng... The Western Chu army is both civilized and military. With its own strength, it could compete with Liu Bang and the famous generals of the early Han Dynasty!"
"If we cannot win a quick victory, our army will be held back by the opponent and unable to expand in other directions..."
Murong Shaozong didn't have much objection to joining forces with the Pizhou Army.
Also inclined to agree.
It's just that he has a stable character and reservations, and expressed his concerns.
"The general thinks that it is better for the king to make a decision in this matter. No matter what the king decides, the general is willing to hold the whip for the king, go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Murong Shaozong finally took the opportunity to express his loyalty.
In the days since he joined the Huai Army, he has already known Wang Jing's character, and also knows that the other party does not regard surrendered generals in a different light.
However, as a minister, even if he knows that the monarch is generous and generous and will not easily fear the general, he still has to show his loyalty when it is time to show his loyalty. This is the duty of a minister.
When Wang Jing heard this, he began to ponder.
According to his original idea, he wanted to expand and develop step by step.
The next target of the Huai army was Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, across the river from Fengyang.
Yuan Ying was also capable of literary and military skills, and he also had elite soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty under his command. He occupied the upper reaches of the Huai River. Once it grew bigger, it would pose a considerable threat to the Huai army downstream.
Therefore, Wang Jing must eradicate it as soon as possible.
After defeating Yuanying, he mobilized troops to occupy both sides of the Huaihe River and pushed the territory westward to Shouchun.
In the land of Jianghuai, longevity and spring are the most important. This place is the real Jianghuai important town.
After capturing Shouchun, Wang Jing turned his attention to the Western Chu army.
Precisely because he knew how difficult the Western Chu army was, Wang Jing put them last. Even if the two sides went to war, they could directly annihilate the Western Chu army with the overwhelming power of Mount Tai.
And now.
Chen Gong's words moved him a little.
I have to say that the saying "strike first to gain the upper hand" does make sense.
For the Huai Army, who is the greater threat, Yuan Ying or Xiang Yu? As long as you are a normal person, you will definitely know the answer.
Wang Jing had to seriously consider whether to eradicate Yuanying first and then deal with the Western Chu army with all his strength, or to ignore it and attack the Western Chu army directly.
Within the main hall.
All the civil and military officials fell silent, waiting for Wang Jing to make a decision. There was silence.
Wang Jing stood up and paced around.
He suddenly came down, walked to the door of the hall, looked at the sky, then turned around and said: "I have made up my mind to join forces with the Pizhou Army to attack Xichu!"
When he looked at the sky just now, his mind sank into the void on the surface of the world.
At this time, the surface void has returned to calm, and the stars in the sky have become very rare, but the remaining stars are extremely bright and touching.
After he calmed down, he thought seriously.
Suddenly I felt that this was the best time to deal with the Western Chu Army.
In the previous second coming, the monarchs of all major historical dynasties have basically arrived, because they want to grasp the overall situation and seize power as quickly as possible.
But there are exceptions.
For example, Xiang Yu, a top powerhouse who was a combination of famous historical generals and princes and kings, Wang Jing had not heard of his appearance.
Xiang Yu is not a low-key person.
If he shows up, spies from the Military Intelligence Department will definitely be able to find out the information.
"There is still a certain amount of time before the top heaven-level warriors arrive... This time is running out. If we can seize this time and destroy the Western Chu army first, Xiang Yu will not necessarily appear when he comes again. It’s in Lingbi!”
"Perhaps, it's not certain that the giant deer will come directly from the north..."
Wang Jing thought to himself.
Even if Xiang Yu will still appear nearby, without the Western Chu army as his wing, he will not be able to display his military skills. He can only rely on his personal strength, and the threat level will be reduced a lot.
Sooner or later they will be enemies anyway.
It is better to weaken the opponent first than to let the opponent lead an army to run rampant and damage one's own troops and vitality.
"It's best to publicize Chen Gong's initiative to invite Chen Gong to join forces when attacking the Western Chu army. Then, with Xiang Yu's character, even if he shows up, he will find Lu Bu first!"
Wang Jing still had a dark thought in his heart.
