The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 840 Han Court
"The Ming army Chen Bing is in the north, and wants to invade the south."

"According to the investigation by the embroidered clothes envoy, most of the troops in Jizhou today are Ming troops from Jizhou and Youzhou. Their predecessors were soldiers from the Taihang Military Region and the Two Counties Military Region respectively. There are about [-] soldiers."

"It's not clear who will lead the Ji Youming army, but the leader is either Yu Du or Xu Rong. This has already been determined."

Chen Du, inside the Dongming Hall.

A group of important officials of the Han court sat in it, staring at the map placed in the hall.

Guo Jia stood beside the map, pointing to the location of Yanzhou and telling the movement of the Ming army.

The Han and Wei Dynasties have been fighting for several years, and Guo Jia played a role in making suggestions, so he has made a lot of contributions.

The Battle of Qingxu, the Battle of Dongjun, including the subsequent encirclement of Qingzhou, and countermeasures all have credit for Guo Jia.

"The main attack direction of the Ming army will definitely not be in the direction of Yanzhou. The Ming army is divided into four levels, one is directly under the jurisdiction, the other is the military area, the third is the defense, and the fourth is the garrison."

Since then, Guo Jia has been continuously promoted because of his military merits, and now he is an official to a military division.

It is said that the official name Jijiu is the head of the department.

Guo Jia is no longer just an official following Liu Chong.

Inside the Dongming Palace, all the important officials, either from the states or from the Sangong, and officials at the level of Jiuqing, all focused their eyes on Guo Jia, but Guo Jia still maintained a calm expression.

"Most of the Ming troops stationed in the Liyang area today are soldiers of the second, third, and fourth ranks."

"The Embroidered Clothes Messenger previously reported that he found a large group of Ming troops moving in the direction of Pingyuan County."

"so……"

Guo Jia stepped forward and pointed to Qingzhou on the map.

"The Ming army's main attack direction is very clear. As expected, the Ming army will give priority to attacking Qingzhou this time."

"Previously, Mr. Cao believed that the Ming army would most likely bypass the Dahe River, imitate the old Gongsun Du, invade Donglai County from the sea, and then advance by sea and land, and attack Qingzhou from the east and west."

"The Ming army's plan should not be much different from what Cao Shijun expected."

Guo Jia paused, he wanted to give everyone a time to think.

And mentioning Cao Cao, who is now the shepherd of Qingzhou, Guo Jia knew Cao Cao and had a little friendship with him.

Although Cao Cao is considered outstanding in military training, he is only unsatisfactory in terms of fighting.

Counting Cao Cao's performance in several battles, he can only be described as quite satisfactory.

The battle of Xingyang killed tens of thousands of troops, and the subsequent battle of Yanzhou also suffered heavy losses, and they even had to go to Yangzhou to recruit troops.

In the early stage of the battle of Qingxu, his performance was mediocre, but in the middle of the battle of Qingxu, it was like a god possessed by a man, and he made outstanding achievements repeatedly.

Then in the Battle of Qingzhou, withstood the pressure at the critical moment, led the troops to defeat the Qingzhou Wei Army's palace army with lightning speed, and sent troops to attack the Wei Army that blocked Zhu Zhi's march.

With reinforcements sent by Cao Cao, Zhu Zhi quickly defeated the Wei army by cooperating inside and outside.

When Cao Cao and Zhu Zhi joined together and led their troops to arrive, the Wei army was still crossing the river.

Ju Yi led the Jizhou Wei army to the north bank, and only about half of the Qingzhou Wei army successfully evacuated to the north bank.

But the others couldn't cross the river anymore, so Tian Feng led his subordinates as the rear of the army and commanded the soldiers to continue crossing the river.

Tian Feng died in battle, and more than [-] Qingzhou soldiers were captured.

On the same day, Zang Ba, who was besieged in Dongnai County, also surrendered.

The battle of Qingzhou ended, and the Han court took over the land of Qingzhou south of the Yellow River.

Guo Jia stared at Qingzhou. He knew that Cao Cao's military talent would not suddenly improve by leaps and bounds. Someone must be behind the scenes to advise him.

Guo Jia's mind was a little more at ease. Cao Cao's advisers offered advice and speculated on the strategy of the Ming army, so there must be a certain countermeasure.

There are not many fierce generals under Cao Cao's command now.

The Xiahou family and the Cao family have many talents, and besides that, Yu Jin and Le Jin also became famous during the war.

One of the two is famous for his military strategy, while the other is famous for his battle.

Yu Jin became famous very early. In the battle of Jibei Kingdom, Chen Qun, the governor of Yanzhou, underestimated the enemy and carelessly defeated Jibei Kingdom.

The Taishan Yellow Turban Army defeated the Han Army, Cao Cao took over the command, and led the rout all the way to the west of Jibei Kingdom.

At that time, the Han army was defeated like a mountain, but among the thousands of troops, only Yu Jin's subordinates were not in chaos.

Yu Jin took the initiative to stay as the palace army, blocking the first wave of pursuit of the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, and the Yanzhou Han Army was able to escape most of them.

Otherwise, if he is chased and killed by the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, he will suffer heavy losses, and Yu Jin will be named the Army Sima for this reason.

Now Yu Jin has also become a school lieutenant and the chief officer of a department.

But Le Jin's fame is different from Yu Jin's.

Short in appearance, but courageous, he followed Cao Cao as an official under the account.

After the Battle of Xingyang, Cao Cao went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, and sent Le Jin back to his Dongjun County to recruit soldiers.

Le Jin recruited more than a thousand people. Later, Le Jin joined Cao Cao and was promoted to the false Sima of the army.

The current Le Jin has also been promoted to the rank of captain, but he obtained his achievements by climbing first, falling into the formation, destroying the front, and beheading the general.

During the two battles of Qingxu and Qingzhou, Le Jin ascended the three cities first, smashed the front and defeated the Wei army, and beheaded four Wei generals. His military exploits were outstanding and he was the best in the army.

Even compared to Sun Ce, Le Jin is not far behind.

In the Qingzhou Army, Le Jin and Sun Ce are often compared with each other.

Guo Jia glanced at Yanzhou, who was sitting aside, who was frowning and thinking at this time, don't drive Lu Qian.

"Lu Biejia, since Mr. Cao has calculated that the Ming army will attack Qingzhou, and guessed the general attack route of the Ming army, has he mentioned the countermeasures?"

Guo Jia already had a draft in mind, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to ask Lu Qian.

He was a little curious about the counselor under Cao Cao's command whom he had never met, and whose name he didn't even know.

A look of hesitation appeared on Lu Qian's face. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to speak.

"At present, our army has set up beacon towers every few miles along the coast where it can land, and has stationed several troops at several important landing points."

"Once the flames are ignited, you can quickly turn in."

"In addition, a ferry used for surveillance has also been set up at sea as a warning."

"Cao Shijun thinks that the false Ming navy has been rampant for many years, and has already let down his vigilance. He doesn't know that our army Yu Yang and Xu Liangzhou have built a large number of warships in the past few years."

"We can wait until most of the enemy troops have landed, and when the puppet naval forces relax and divide their forces, we can attack them suddenly."

In Dongming Hall, all Han officials looked sideways.

"The false naval divisions don't know the existence of our naval divisions, so they must divide their forces."

"Our navy can concentrate its superior forces and attack any puppet naval division. It will be difficult for the puppet to fight in a hurry. As long as we can swallow any one of the fleets, the strength of our navy's warships will also increase." It will be almost the same as the pseudo Ming navy."

"The Pseudo-Ming Army Division loses its supplies, and our Army Army Division can calmly surround the troops it landed on, gather and annihilate them."

"After the navy's combat power is balanced, Weihaijin can be used as a base to control the offshore waters."

"Weihaijin's terrain is dangerous, difficult to attack and easy to defend. Even if it is exposed, it can calmly deal with all attacks."

"The sea power is at a stalemate. If we don't eliminate our naval forces, then although the false naval forces are strong, they will not dare to land rashly again. The crisis at sea will be resolved naturally. We only need to fully deal with the false Ming and go south to Qingzhou to cross the river."

Lu Qian paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

"If you have read the Yellow River going south, then there is no strategy to use, just use the right one, and stick to it first."

"The Ming army has always been moving like thunder, and the thunder strikes will destroy everything; the pressure of Wanjun will destroy everything."

"However, as long as the first attack of the Ming army is blocked, the war can be dragged into a stalemate."

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression normal.

But no one knew, but there was already a turbulent sea in his heart.

This person coincides with the thoughts in his heart, and the arrangements of both the navy and the land division are similar.

And for the arrangements after the Ming army crossed the river.

He also believes that to fight against the Ming army, especially the Ming army led by Xu An, the only way to defend is to frustrate its edge and consume its energy.

Then use Zhenghe to attack the Ming army with an upright formation and defeat the Ming army.

Xu An has always been cautious, Guo Jia reviewed all the battles that Xu An led the army experienced.

It had to be said that Xu An was the most cautious person he had ever met.

Every attack is meticulously arranged.

The infiltration of Eagle Wolf Guards made the enemy no secrets at all.

Encircled by several departments, they can echo each other and advance hand in hand, so as not to be defeated individually.

Battles such as Shijian Mountain, Gaopingchuan, and the capture of two counties have shown the world what is the number one soldier in the world.

The former number one generals in the world were Huangfusong and Sun Jian respectively.

Huangfu Song is famous for his military strategy, while Sun Jian is famous for his military situation.

But both of them died in Fanyang and were killed by Xu An.

Now he can be called the number one general in the world, no doubt only Xu An.

Although he didn't want to admit it, but with the deaths of Huangfusong and Sun Jian, Xu An was no longer just the number one yin and yang soldier in the world, but the number one soldier in the world.

Xu An has always been cautious, if he wants to use some kind of conspiracy, such as burning food and grass, surprise attacking the rear, and ambush to defeat Xu An, then it is undoubtedly a dream.

If the style of the Ming army can be described in one word, it would be "stable".

Although it seems that the Ming army's attack speed is extremely fast, like lightning, but it is based on the complete intelligence.

The Ming army basically would not make risky moves. Even if they marched fast, there would be scout cavalry searching the road along the way.

It is not completely impossible to ambush the Ming army, but it will inevitably cost a lot of money and preparations, and it may not be successful.

To fight against the Ming army, in fact, the only way to meet it is to fight it with an upright and upright formation.

If the war can be dragged into a tug-of-war, then it is a success.

Because the background of the Ming Dynasty is a bit shallow after all, and there are many problems in the country. After falling into a see-saw, the Ming army will probably choose to withdraw its troops voluntarily.

In the Battle of Luoyang, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An was not damaged or defeated.

But when he found that there was a sign of entering the tug-of-war, Xu An resolutely gave up Luoyang and returned to Guanzhong.

But now the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is about to surpass that of Hanting, occupying the fertile land in Hebei and having a sufficient population.

It only takes a few more years before the Han court, which only occupies the seven southern states, can be thrown behind them.

But now the Ming Court has just completed the public trial in Hebei, and there are still many internal problems.

As long as it can be dragged into a tug of war so that the Ming army does not invade the south of the Yellow River, then the reforms in various places can also see greater results.

Perhaps at that time, there will be a turning point.

"Cao Shijun has a unique view of the situation, and the strategy of my subordinates is not much different from Cao Shijun."

"Since this is the case, Cao Shijun is fully responsible for the Qingzhou matter, which looks better."

"What does the captain think?"

Guo Jia bowed and saluted, and asked.

"good."

Liu Chong is a good follower, and he himself does not understand military affairs, so he never does things for laymen to command experts.

Liu Chong did not object, and naturally the officials in Dongming Hall did not object either.

"So, the matter of Qingzhou is entrusted to Mr. Cao, and we will definitely help Qingzhou with all our strength."

"Yuzhou Workshop and Xuzhou Workshop have a total of [-] iron armors and a lot of military weapons. I have ordered them to transport them to Qingzhou."

"That's all for Qing and Yan's arrangements..."

Guo Jia pulled the map and covered Qingyan and Yanzhou.

Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, and Liangzhou appeared in front of everyone.

"Puppet Ming occupies Wuguan and Shangyong, and Nanyang County is threatened by it. It is difficult to stop it. Our army is exhausted."

"Since the Ming army is mainly attacking Qingzhou in this battle, there may not be many troops left in Wuguan and Shangyong."

"In this year, under the support of the embroidered clothes messenger, I have secretly transported [-] dump trucks into Nanyang County, just for this moment."

Guo Jia's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice sank.

"Jingzhou's army cannot move without authorization, because the movements of the Ming army are unknown."

"This time, if the Ming army doesn't have many troops in Wuguan and Shangyong, but they are just partial divisions, then the main force of the Jingzhou army can be ordered to attack Wuguan and Shangyong."

"Once our army has mastered Shangyong and Wuguan, then we can threaten Hanzhong and Guanzhong and look forward to Yizhou when we advance, and we can use a small number of troops to defend Nanyang County without losing the pass, and transfer the main force of Jingzhou army north to Qing and Yaner State."

"Jiaozhou is bordered by Yizhou. Although it has many mountainous roads, you can order the Jiaozhou army to try to attack."

"Defeat, but it's not a serious problem, it's not painful, but once successful, our army can even consider entering Yizhou and regaining the old land of Bashu!"

Guo Jia knelt down on the ground, facing the emperor who sat on the head and listened quietly, and begged.

"The Jingzhou army is not trained enough. If we attack Shangyong Wuguan, I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower. I boldly advise, please send the forbidden army to assist Jingzhou, and cooperate to take the land of Shangyong and Wuguan."

In the Dongming Hall, all the important officials also looked at the emperor.

Liu Xie did not answer immediately.

He feels that this is an opportunity, but the problem is that the [-] forbidden troops under his command are the foundation of his life and the foundation of the reform.

Not to mention what kind of impact it would cause if the losses were heavy, even the departure of tens of thousands of imperial troops from the capital would probably cause quite a stir in the court.

only……

This really is an opportunity...
