Chapter 838
Inside the cabin, a breeze blows.The battleship continued on the Yellow River.

Li Chongjiu was sitting in the command center, holding in his hands the copywriting that Zhang Xuansu, Ji Chuan, and Yu Shinan had worked hard for several months.
Before Da Zhao's attack, Zhao's ministers made a detailed analysis of Li Shimin's military strategy.Li Shimin is indeed the top military master of this era.Although this person's military strategy cannot be said to be unmatched in the world, there are not many people who can match him.

Coupled with the help of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who have Fang Mou Duan, and the eldest Sun Wuji, the number one hero in Lingyan Pavilion in history, Li Shimin's staff is also quite powerful.Therefore, how to deal with Li Shimin when using troops this time has also become a category of consideration for Zhao Guo's staff.Relatively speaking, this time to attack Tang, since the strategic initiative is in the hands of Zhao Guo, and the situation has a great advantage.So in the temple calculation, this takes the lead.

Just like playing chess, Zhao Guo now has the first move, and Li Tang is the second mover.However, this point is not a big advantage for the duel. Back then when Shu was exhausted, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan seven times to crusade against Wei. He also used offense instead of defense.According to Zhang Xuansu's previous analysis, Zhao Guo's biggest advantage over Li Tang is financial, manpower, and material resources. The only thing Li Tang can compete with Zhao Guo is his military strength.

As for the various offensive strategies, it can be said that Li Chongjiu's top staff has exhausted them.The same should be the case with Li Shimin.

It is an exhaustive strategy, and no one has been able to say it since ancient times, but it is feasible for a huge staff group.Zhao Jun's various offensive strategies and Tang Jun's various defensive strategies were almost exhausted by Zhang Xuansu and the others.

In fact, the chances of missing something are very small.

In the end, Zhang Xuansu came up with this plan for Li Chongjiu, which belongs to the orthodox use of troops and the combat strategy of combining Zhengqi.

At this time, Zhang Xuansu walked up to Li Chongjiu and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the front that Wang Mahan has captured Gaoping County. This is good news!"

Li Chongjiu nodded, and after receiving the good news, Zhang Xuansu continued: "As we expected, the Tang army really did not deploy defenses in Gaoping County, only the township soldiers recruited by the county itself. With less than three thousand horses, they will be defeated in a single battle with our elite troops."

Li Chongjiu put it aside in the Jiebao and said: "Zhang Qing, you said that Li Shimin wants to shrink his troops, give up the periphery, and fight us on the inside. Is it right to trade space for time?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "It is possible that Li Shimin is good at defending the wall with his troops, and then he cuts off people's food and grass. He gave up the outer periphery, maybe to lure our army to go deep. If our army deploys too many troops in the occupied counties , then the attack force in the front will be insufficient, and if you don’t invest in defense, then the food roads in the rear will be in danger.”

Li Chongjiu clapped his hands together and said: "That's right. Xue Rengao was defeated in Qianshuiyuan in this way. We must learn from it, but now it is only Gaoping County that captured the Tang army, and we can't make a judgment easily. I believe it won't take long. I have the answer. After Yu Chigong's army leaves the Taihang Mountains, I will report it to you. As for other trivial matters, you don't need to inform me. Just make up your mind."

"No!" Zhang Xuansu said goodbye.

After Li Chongjiu finalized the military affairs, he stood up, and his staff members in the room were still busy.Although these officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Zhongshu were not of high rank, they played a vital role in this war.

Li Chongjiu saw that Li Ying was also sleeping beside the sand table.In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, it is recorded that Deng Ai, a famous general of the Wei State, whenever he saw high mountains and great swamps, he often pointed at the military camps, and people laughed a lot.

It seems that my son and Deng Ai are both map controllers.Think about Li Chongjiu when he was a child, isn’t it the same, just as some children like to play horseback riding and fighting, and some children, like himself when he was a child, like to pile up chess pieces, simulating the small soldiers of the two armies against each other. array.

It is also the martial arts style flowing in the male body, but the performance is also different.

Watch its young, and know its aspirations.This sentence is not false at all.

Li Chongjiu picked up the sleeping Li Ying, and immediately returned to the second deck to have dinner with his family.

After a night of silence, the battleship went straight up the Yellow River.After three days' journey, from Liyang Ferry to Heyang Landing.

Li Chongjiu's main battleship arrived near Heyang City and landed slowly. In order to cooperate with this attack, Heyang defender Su Dingfang had already built a huge water dock in Heyang City.Su Dingfang, the defender of Heyang City, had already led the army to fight on the front line.

Therefore, the captain of Heyang City, Kaicao joined the army, and Ji Shi joined the army and came to the dock to greet him.

Zhao Jun's battleship slowly entered the port, and the turbulent torrent of the Yellow River in June kept beating the sides and the hull of the ship.But Li Chongjiu's huge five-toothed ship remained motionless in the high wind and high waves.A long slogan sounded, and there were countless majestic responses below. Hundreds of naked trackers on the shore pulled Li Chongjiu's five-toothed ship against the current to dock on the shore.

Among the revetments, Li Chongjiu boarded the bow of the ship. On the north side were the three cities of Heyang, Xiongguan of the Yellow River.People's heads floated in the direction of Luoyang City, and galloping tired horses ignored the rapids of the Yellow River and came to the bank to drink water.
The south bank was crowded with soldiers and soldiers of Zhao Jun.

Now the army on the pontoon bridge is advancing continuously. This is the army coming from Luoyang.The men and horses of Daxingtai in the South Road bypassed the defense lines of Tongguan and Wuguan in the west, crossed the river from Heyang, and joined forces with Li Chongjiu in the north.

Li Chongjiu pointed to the densely packed Heyang pontoon bridge, and the marching army asked, "How many days have the troops from Daxingtai, Henan Road arrived?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "In order not to disturb the Tang army stationed in Wuguan and Tongguan too early, we pretended to attack Wuguan and Tongguan. After His Majesty's fleet arrived in Heyang, the army moved from the front lines of Wuguan and Tongguan. Withdraw."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "This is very good."

Ji Chuan said: "It is estimated that within two days, all the troops will be able to pass. There are three elite government troops led by Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin, and Xue Wanche, and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Wang Bo will be left on the south bank, and the second general Meng Haigong will guard Luoyang."

On the other side, Yu Shinan said: "Your Majesty, everything is in our plan. If Li Shimin knows that the [-] troops we stationed in Luoyang will be transferred to the north, they must transfer troops from Tongguan and Wuguan, so that the south of Chang'an will be empty. So Song Jingang, It will be easier for Xiao Xian's Southern Route Army to succeed!"

Li Chongjiu asked: "Who is the forward of the South Army?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is Huben Lang, General Wang Xiongdan!"

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu praised: "This man is a tiger general in the world, and he is powerful enough to shock the Tang army in Hanzhong!"
