Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 388
"Guizhou!
Officials and ministers feel that Guizhou's navy is the most important thing. If Panyu in Guizhou is captured, there will be no room for resistance. "Wang Pu said.

"The terrain around Panyu is flat and there is no reliable support. If the army crosses the mountains in the south of the Lingnan Mountains, they can drive straight into it. It's not a problem at all. So I think Panyu is not that difficult, and the focus should be on Guizhou."

Li Chuyun followed up and said: "Guys, I think it's okay to go straight to Huanglong. Since Panyu is easy to fight, it's better to concentrate our forces and take Panyu at once, so what if they have a hundred thousand navy in Guizhou.

Panyu is the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty. Their princes, generals, and princes are all there. As long as the final decision is made, it will save a lot of trouble. If they go west and fight their navy in Guizhou, there may be many variables. Even if they win Also pay a lot of casualties.With a navy of one hundred thousand, no matter how unbearable the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty are, they should not be underestimated. "

A few people walked while talking, and soon came to the courtyard full of yellow flowers.

Shi Congyun called everyone to sit around the stone table next to him, but there were only five stone benches at this table, and there were six of them.

Emperor Shi Congyun naturally sat down without hesitation, and then the two generals Wang Shenqi and Li Chuyun sat down without any explanation, so the three prime ministers were placed there. There were three people and only two seats.

After the last refusal, Luqiu Zhongqing, the youngest, stood aside, waiting for the eunuch to bring the chair over.

Everyone had different expressions on their faces, Wang Shenqi and Li Chuyun did it with peace of mind, after all years of wars, their army was the largest, and they felt nothing, but the rest of Wang Pu and Fan Zhi had a little displeasure on their faces, but they didn't say anything. The civil servants naturally lowered their heads to the generals.

Emperor Shi ignored their thoughts, but continued: "Go ahead."

Wang Shenqi clasped his hands and said: "The officials and ministers feel that it is very dangerous for Guizhou's navy to not be ignored.

General Li's talk of going straight to Huanglong is certainly reasonable, but the risk is too high and it is not safe enough.

If Panyu cannot be attacked for a long time, our army will be stationed nearby, and the navy from Guizhou will go south behind us. We will be attacked by the enemy, and we will be very passive.

A certain thought that it is better to take Guizhou first, defeat the main force of its naval forces, and then send troops to Panyu is the best strategy. "

Shi Congyun nodded without making a judgment. Here we can see the difference in the personalities of Li Chuyun and Wang Shenqi, the two generals under him who can handle their own affairs.

Li Chuyun is good at using troops with danger, dares to fight and fight hard, and likes to surprise.

Wang Shenqi is more stable, fighting every step of the way, defeating the enemy head-on with an upright army.

Shi Congyun didn't make a decision after the two had finished their opinions, and asked Luqiu Zhongqing's opinion again. Luqiu Zhongqing's opinion was roughly the same as Wang Shenqi's. The Jingjiang army in Guizhou in the north will go south and attack them on both sides near Panyu.

After a while, the eunuch brought chairs, and Luqiu Zhongqing also sat down. They discussed for a while near the stone table, but they still disagreed.

In the end, there are generally three opinions.

The aggressive and adventurous Li Chuyun believed that after crossing the Lingnan mountains, he should concentrate his forces, go straight to Huanglong, take Panyu directly, and solve the Southern Han Dynasty at the lowest cost.

The steady Wang Shenqi and Luqiu Zhongqing felt that Guilin should be settled westward first, defeating the main naval force of Guizhou in the Southern Han Dynasty, and then go south to Panyu to take Panyu steadily.

The third type is the old-fashioned school, represented by Wang Pu and Fan Zhi, who believed that they could learn from the way that Emperor Wu used to destroy South Vietnam, and send troops in multiple ways, generally speaking, three ways.

Go west all the way to Hengzhou, Yongzhou, and Bozhou to directly attack Guilin.

Take the middle road all the way from Daozhou and Wuzhou on the middle road, sweep the prefectures and counties to the west of Panyu, and then cooperate with the army in the east to encircle Panyu.

All the way to the east, Chenzhou, Lianzhou, and Yingzhou go straight to Panyu.

It makes sense for them to do so, which is to learn from the experience of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in destroying South Vietnam in history.

The three opinions seem to be reasonable, Shi Congyun is not in a hurry to make a conclusion, there is still more time, and he is actually not sure.

It seemed that what everyone said made sense, but he couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he was going to wait for Pan Mei to come back and ask him. After all, Pan Mei was on the front line and knew the situation in the south best. He could only make up his mind after listening to what he had to say.

In the past, when he let go of this kind of thing, he felt that he was not so prudent and under so much pressure. After all, he raised his opinion and it was Guo Rong who made the final decision, so he didn't have such a big burden on his shoulders.

It is different now, he has become a decision maker, and his decision is the national policy, which will determine the life and death of countless people, but he still has a conscience, reason, and the pressure will increase. Still thinking about things, thinking between the gentle and stalwart beauty, it is quite poetic.

Before letting everyone go back in the afternoon, he also told a few people to think about this matter more when they go back, and if they have any ideas, they should write a memorial and submit them.

This matter has been put on hold for the time being, because the mission from the Liao Kingdom on the other side is also coming soon.

Xiao Hunian rode a horse, dressed in red and light armor, with a treasured sword on his waist, and attracted many curious eyes along the way, and many people were watching.

She thought to herself that the Han people were weak, and that every Khitan woman who had never seen them could draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

There are many imperial guards from Qin around her to protect her.

The further south she went, the more she was surprised by the strength of manpower in the south. Since they went south, they passed countless cities and villages every day, which was unimaginable on the grassland.

Especially from today onwards, she remembered that they had entered villages and towns at least a few miles away, surrounded by Han people's fixed houses, and the general who was leading the army next to him told him that they had already reached Daliang.

On both sides are all kinds of houses and streets, without interruption, many people stand curiously on the side of the street or look at her curiously from the windows.

Xiao Hunian was a little unhappy, and his brows were frowned tightly.

After walking for a long time, she couldn't help asking in unfamiliar Chinese: "Are you almost at the palace?"

The leading Han general was taken aback when he saw her asking this question, and the guarding Qin soldiers even laughed softly, and then whispered something to each other.

She was slightly angry in her heart, even though he couldn't hear clearly, she still felt that the other party was contemptuous and contemptuous of her.

At this time, the leading general replied with a smile: "This is a village outside the city, we haven't entered Daliang City yet."

Now Xiao Hunian had no time to get angry, but was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She remembered that since she saw the villages and towns, they had ridden for at least two quarters of an hour. Although the horses were not fast, they had traveled several miles. Unexpectedly, they were only on the outskirts of Daliang City and did not enter the city!
She has seen big cities before, and Nanjing in the Daliao Kingdom is very big, but compared with this, it seems nothing.

Xiao Hunian couldn't help looking up into the distance, but his vision was blocked by the trees and tiled eaves beside the house, and he couldn't even see the city wall.

For a moment, her heart was full of shock. Such a state of Qin seemed to be far beyond her imagination. If there was a war, how many soldiers could be produced in this area alone!

How on earth do they manage to feed so many people!

Khitan men over the age of 14 are about to join the army. Xiao Hunian naturally considers the Khitan tradition in her heart, so that she was shocked and frightened. She suddenly felt that maybe Qin was destined to win successive wars with them. of
