"The king had previously sent an order to his ministers to prepare food, grass and baggage, mobilized soldiers to quietly go south, and disguised guardsmen to go to the vicinity of Yangzhou Prefecture, Taixing Prefecture, and Nantong Prefecture... The ministers and others were already prepared and were just waiting for the king's order to send the army Then you can leave!"
"There is only one problem now, and that is to go south to attack the Sun family of Eastern Wu. Where should we cross the river? Do we need to send an envoy to contact the King of Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to form an alliance to jointly attack the Sun family!"
Bu Zhao said in a deep voice.
In the original timeline, Bu Zhi was Sun Quan's in-law and confidant, who conquered Jiaozhou and became the prime minister of Soochow.
But now Bu Zhi has nothing to do with the Sun family, and when he talks about how to deal with the Sun family, his expression is even calmer.
"Although our army is far more powerful than Soochow, this battle is related to the future of our army. We must not be careless. Although Liu Bi, the king of Wu in the Western Han Dynasty, is not Sun's opponent, he can contain part of the opponent's troops!"
"I think we should form an alliance with Liu Bi and make friends from far away and attack close by!"
Wang Guangyang couldn't help but said.
This discussion on the future strategy of the Huai Army is of great importance. Although he is a bachelor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he must also participate in the discussion at this time and provide his own insights and help as much as possible.
"It is naturally a good strategy to make friends from far away and attack closely. However, it remains to be discussed whether to make friends with the princes from far away! I think that Liu Bi of the Western Han Dynasty will not be able to contain Sun Ce at all. Maybe he will be destroyed before our army can send troops!"
"If it's a distant relationship, I suggest you send an envoy directly to Lin'an and invite Zhao Zong, Emperor Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, to send troops to the north..."
Pei Ju said.
After Bu Zhi and Wang Guangyang stood up and expressed their suggestions, other civil and military officials also let go of their worries and began to express their own ideas.
The civil and military ministers in the palace are all outstanding figures in history.
Their suggestions are very reasonable and to the point.
Even Cao Jingzong and Murong Shaozong briefly explained the direction of crossing the river, the target of the vanguard attack, etc.
Wang Jing listened carefully and carefully considered everyone's opinions.
Wait until everyone has finished speaking.
A plan to go south to attack the Sun family in Soochow was formed.
"Zhaoxuan, after listening to the opinions of everyone present, can you summarize and refine them and formulate a detailed plan for crossing the river?"
Wang Jing finally looked at Gao Xi.
In the historical battles of the Northern Dynasty to conquer the south, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty... Among them, the commander-in-chief of the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Chen Dynasty was Gao Xi.
He formulated strategies and plans, and then generals such as He Ruobi and Han Qinhu crossed the river according to the plan.
Gao Xi has rich experience in formulating plans to cross the Yangtze River and go south.
"I accept your order!"
Gao Xi pondered for a moment and then said calmly: "As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are moved. The first step to cross the river south is to prepare the food, grass and baggage and to find out the enemy's intelligence. In this regard, there are two bachelors, Shen and Wang, and Jiangdu. Just let the chief envoy take responsibility, and the second step is to make friends with distant people and attack with close friends..."
"I agree with Pei Shangshu's opinion that we can send envoys to Lin'an to form an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty. I heard that Zhao Jin of the Southern Song Dynasty has great ambitions to revitalize the country. He also has Han Shizhong, Meng Gong and other famous generals under his command. If we can join forces with the Southern Song Dynasty, the march south will be more effective with half the effort..."
Later, Gao Xi suggested that the Construction Department start developing sea-going ships. In the future, when they go south to face the Sun family head-on, they can use sea-going ships to attack from behind and create a center to bloom.
Gao Xi could easily name a few tactics to deal with the Sun family, and they were all practical strategies.
Everyone in the hall, like Wang Jing, was listening quietly.
"According to the information from the Military Intelligence Department, the Sun family of Soochow now has two powerful men, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, as well as four ninth-level generals, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Taishi Ci, and Gan Ning... Zhou Yu has not appeared yet, and the ninth-level generals Not to mention the celebrities, the current ninth-level generals alone are very powerful!"
"The only flaw is probably the lack of the top ninth-level warriors!"
While Wang Jing listened, he counted the powerful men Soochow had as well as the various generals in the army.
Lu Xun, who was one of the four major governors with Zhou Yu, and Lu Kang, the mainstay of Soochow in the later period, did not appear in Soochow's camp. I have to say, this is good news.
Lu Xun and Lu Kang's personal ability is not inferior to that of Zhou Yu. If these two people can be recruited, the strength of the Huai army will be greatly enhanced.
There are six great ninth-level generals in Soochow.
The Huai army now has five ninth-level troops: Murong Shaozong, Pei Sui, Yang Dayan, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui, which is one less in number. However, Fu Youde, Yang Kan, Yuwen Chengdu, and Wang Sengbian may be available at any time. breakthrough.
If these four people break through the bottleneck, the Huai army will have nine ninth-level generals.
Including Wang Jing himself, there are ten.
When Wang Jing compared them, he only counted the number of generals on both sides. Ninth-level celebrities and civil servants rarely went to the battlefield, and even if they did, they would not be able to fight in battle, so he simply ignored them.
These celebrities and ministers are better off handling internal affairs and making suggestions at the rear.
At this time, Gao Xi had already finished the strategic plan he had summarized.
Wang Jing immediately put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "Zhaoxuan is indeed very resourceful. Do you have anything to add?"
Bu Zhi sighed: "Gao Gong is very resourceful and considers Zhou Xiang. If we go south according to Gao Gong's plan, our army has a great chance of winning. I have no objection..."
When he said this, a feeling emerged in Bu Zhi's heart.
I'm afraid Gao Xi will be put to great use soon.
If he succeeded in going south to conquer Soochow according to his plan, he would be able to rely on his merits and be promoted to the Sixth Ministry first, and then quickly enter the Privy Council and become the Privy Councilor like him.
I have to say that Bu Zhao’s feeling is correct.
Wang Jing did have the idea of promoting Gao Xi and letting him quickly enter the core of the Huai Army to take on important responsibilities.
Nowadays, there are many ninth-level generals in the Huai Army, but among those who can command an army, especially those who can command an army of hundreds of thousands, only Fu Youde can take on the important task.
Although He Ruobi and Shi Wansui are top-notch generals, they are more independent and can command no more than 300,000 troops at the same time.
In the battle to destroy Chen in history, Gao Xi was in charge of the overall strategy, Yang Su commanded the army, He Ruobi was in charge of the navy crossing the river, and Han Qinhu commanded only a few thousand troops...
Unfortunately, only He Ruobi and Shi Wansui joined Wang Jing.
If Yang Su came to invest, Wang Jing would be even more happy to get these two strong players.
Now Yang Su didn't know where he was, so Wang Jing thought of training Gao Xi. He didn't need to visit the enemy's formation in person, nor did he need to fight, as long as he could sit in the center and dispatch troops.
In this case.
When Wang Jing goes south, he can divide his troops into three groups and coordinate with each other.
at this time.
None of the other civil and military officials in the palace had any objections, and the strategic plan to cross the river south was settled. Of course, this plan still requires Gao Xi and other civil and military personnel to continuously improve the details in the coming time.
