"Your Majesty, it is clear that the princes in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed the most difficult to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. Fortunately, our army has successfully captured Soochow, but it will take some time to calm down the chaos in various places!"
Gao Xi pondered slightly and said.
If he followed his ideas, the Huai army should follow the pre-arranged strategy and execute the plan step by step. The goal this time is to defeat Soochow.
The strategic goal has been achieved. Therefore, the Huai Army needs to rest for a while, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is given a certain amount of time to continue to grow.
Wang Jing felt a little silent when he heard this.
He was extremely afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang. It was okay when the other party was entrenched in Jinling, but now the other party's minions were revealed and he began to lead troops to defeat the Eastern Jin Dynasty and grew rapidly, which touched his sensitive mind.
If possible, Wang Jing could not wait to summon a large army immediately, land at Jinling with naval forces from Liuhe, and give Zhu Yuanzhang a black tiger to eat his heart while he is not in Jinling.
But after thinking about it for a moment, Wang Jing was still undecided.
Because he found that his current situation was very similar to the God of Gaoliang River in the history of the original world.
The chariot god in history led the elite troops of the Northern Song Dynasty to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, and the situation started well. However, after defeating the Northern Han Dynasty, he felt that his victory was too smooth, so he set his sights on the land of Yanyun.
The elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty fought for a while under the fortified city of the Northern Han Dynasty. Then, without receiving any reward, they followed the Chariot God to conquer Yanyun in the north. There were complaints among the army.
The result? The history books record it very clearly. The chariot god was attacked by the Liao cavalry and collapsed, and finally ran away on a donkey cart. He defeated the elite soldiers at the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty and was awarded the title of chariot god.
Among the emperors with the title of Taizong in history, he behaved the most unbearably, lowering the lower limit of "Taizong".
At this time, the Huai army.
He dispatched a large army to cross the Yangtze River and swept across Soochow to achieve a great victory. If Wang Jing suddenly ordered at this time to mobilize troops and horses to continue westward to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang... there would be Liu Yu in the middle.
There is a good chance that he will follow in the footsteps of the car god.
Of course, the Huai army was different from the Northern Song Dynasty in history. The founding elite of the Northern Song Dynasty were forbidden troops, and they mainly relied on the rewards after sending troops to win a victory. Ordinary soldiers went into battle, who could guarantee that they would survive?
Therefore, the reward that the emperor will give once in a battle is absolutely not allowed to be given on credit, because no one can guarantee that he will survive in the next battle.
The God of Chariots destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and failed to reward the imperial army in time. The morale of the army was suddenly unstable.
Even so, the founding elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty also put great pressure on the Liao Kingdom in the early stage...
Wang Jing's Huai army has already divided its fields and has a solid foundation. Naturally, it will not be like the Imperial Army of the Northern Song Dynasty who must be rewarded before they are willing to sacrifice their lives.
From this point of view, the Huai army is not unable to move, but it must seriously consider whether to take advantage of the unstable territory of Soochow to lead a large army to a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Yu!
In case of defeat, the territory of Soochow they just won will be spit out.
When Wang Jing was deep in thought.
There were footsteps outside, and a clerk brought urgent documents that had just been delivered.
Gao Xi saw Wang Jing deep in thought and reached out to take the document.
He and Cen Wenwen have now become Wang Jing's important advisers in handling government and military affairs, and many confidential matters have been kept secret. Needless to say, Gao Xi, Cen Wenwen, the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty, has also gained Wang Jing's trust.
However, Cen Wenwen could take the initiative to look through the documents, but did not make any movement.
Only Gao Xi opened the documents and looked at the urgent matters sent from various places.
"Taishici of Jiaxing has received the news from Suzhou, but he still sticks to the city, fights bloody battles with Han Shizhong, and ignores the letter sent by Sun Quan... He is preparing to die on the battlefield!"
The first news sent made Gao Xi sigh with emotion.
When Sun Quan wrote letters to generals and guards from all over Soochow, he would not miss Tai Shici from Jiaxing. The other party was one of the most powerful ninth-level generals in Soochow, and Wang Jing was very interested in him.
As long as Taishi Ci was willing to surrender, Wang Jing took the initiative to ask for a favor from Han Shizhong and let the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty relax the siege.
But Taishi Ci was obviously very upset about the news of Sun Ce's death in battle.
They were unwilling to surrender to either side of the Huai Army or the Southern Song Dynasty, and would rather die on the battlefield in the civil war in Jiaxing City... Although this situation was not good news for the Huai Army, the Huai Army did not suffer any losses.
Moreover, Han Shizhong's Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and horses will continue to be trapped in Jiaxing. Even if they pay the price to capture the city, they will never go north again.
This can be regarded as solving the hidden danger to the south of the Huai Army.
Gao Xi felt a little regretful about Taishi Ci's choice, but this emotion only fleetingly passed away.
Although Taishi Ci is not weak, to the Huai army, he is just a ninth-level general. With him, the Huai army will be stronger, but without him, the Huai army will not become weak.
Except for news from the south.
There was also intelligence sent from Yangzhou, which was about the battle between Chen Baxian and Xie Xuan. After Gao Xi read it, he should have put it aside, but suddenly his heart moved slightly and he took the intelligence again.
Gao Xi was about to speak with this information when he saw three red stamps on the next piece of information.
His expression changed, this was an emergency military situation.
"Your Majesty, General Fu Youde has sent urgent military information, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a look at it!"
Gao Xi reminded him immediately.
Wang Jing immediately came back to his senses, picked up the military information and quickly looked through it, his face suddenly showed joy, and he laughed.
"Okay! Okay, Fu Youde is indeed Gu's lucky general! What a God-given opportunity!"
Seeing Gao Xi and Cen Wenwen look curious.
Wang Jing handed the document to the two of them to look through. Gao Xi's thoughts quickly changed after he saw it, and he suddenly smiled and said: "This is indeed a good opportunity. If Liu Yu can be surrounded in Changzhou, Liu Song will be leaderless and will definitely not be a match for our army." !”
Wang Jing wanted to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, but Gao Xi objected because Liu Yu was still in the middle. Just like when the Huai army went south to attack Soochow, Jinling could not intervene in Soochow's affairs through Liu Song.
But it is still such a good opportunity to deal with Liu Yu.
Gao Xi will naturally not object.
"Not long ago, Chen Qingzhi sent military information, saying that Liu Song's troops and horses besieging Jiangyin suddenly stopped and there were signs of withdrawal. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu would temporarily put down Jiangyin's troops and go to Changzhou!"
Wang Jing stood up and said happily.
Cen Wenwen pondered: "In that case, the king might as well send someone to give an order to General Chen Qingzhi, asking him to choose an opportunity to leave the city to counterattack, and not to let the army outside Jiangyin merge with the soldiers and horses in Changzhou!"
"You are right! But this is not enough. Send an order to transfer Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, and Lu Meng to follow the army to obey the order. Gu will lead the army to Changzhou himself!"
"Murong Shaozong is stationed in Suzhou, and Yang Dayan continues to stay in Wuxi!"
"After Gu left, military control was immediately implemented in all parts of Soochow. Anyone who dares to resist will be dealt with immediately!"
Wang Jing directly called the attendants outside and began to quickly mobilize his troops.
He personally led the troops, and also brought three ninth-level generals, plus four Fu Youde from Changzhou, who had mobilized all the remaining strength of the Huai army.
