Competing

Chapter 314 Discussing Countermeasures
Under the "all attention", Pu Jun came out and said: "My lord, Minyue Wuzhu claims to have 3 warriors under his command, and Dongou Siyao claims to have [-] warriors, but in fact they are all just bluffing."

Everyone saw Pu Jun talking eloquently and calmly, as if he knew all these things before.It seems that King Yue really found the right person, this General Pu is really not easy.As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed the actual troop deployment of Dongou and Minyue, and directly claimed that the total troop strength of the other party was false.I just don't know what is the basis for his argument?

A smile appeared on the corner of Yin Xu's mouth, Pu Jun really did not live up to his expectations, it seems that after he mentioned it earlier, Pu Jun really took this matter to heart.Seeing him utter a few words, Yin Xu knew that Pu Jun must have made a detailed investigation and analysis, and listened attentively to General Pu's high opinion!
After a slight pause, Pu Jun continued: "According to the population of Dongou and Minyue, Si Yao and Wuzhu's claimed strength is definitely worthwhile. Ouyue and Fujian are relatively remote places. The land is naturally far inferior to the fertile and rich land of our country of Yue. Therefore, the number of registered permanent residence and the number of people are naturally inferior, even the Fanyi on the east bank of Penglize in our country.

On that day, King Huai of Chu conferred the feudal title to the Great King Shao/Xinghou, and there were [-] households in Shanyin, but in fact there were not as many as [-] households in the area of ​​Shanyin City alone.This number should include many places around the city. "

Gao Yi nodded silently when he heard this. He has supported the management of Shanyin for two years, so he naturally knows the things here very well, especially the population and household registration.Listening to it now, I can't help secretly admiring it, I didn't expect Pu Jun, a general, to understand so many things quietly.And from this to analyze the distribution of military forces, it can be seen that Pu Jun has made great efforts and has a deep understanding of all aspects.No wonder King Yue attached great importance to him and kept him with him all the time.

Zhong Yin stroked his beard and nodded secretly. After experiencing this incident, he clearly felt the unusualness of these courtiers around Yin Xu.After Yin Xu's disappearance before, the strategies and arrangements to deal with possible crises one by one showed their carefulness and thoughtfulness.Now seeing Pu Jun talking here again, it is conceivable that he has made preparations in advance.

It is a happy thing for anyone to be a loyal, reliable, and always ready to wait for the king's call. Such a courtier and general.Now Zhong Yin can really feel why the far-sighted Li Si and Wei Liao fell in love with Yin Xu. It seems that there is hope for Daqin's revenge.I don't know how Li Xiang is in South Vietnam?Could it be said that Zhao Tuo was moved?Yue Guo is currently in trouble, and I don't know if he can give his strength and give some help.

And Wei Liao has been staying in Guanzhong, how is the matter over there?If you can come here earlier, you can also help out and deal with the current crisis in the Yue Kingdom.He didn't know that Yin Xu himself was not in a hurry, but wanted to put Wei Liao and other god-like existences at the end, as a trump card.

In Yin Xu's view, Dongou and Minyue are just clowns. If they can't clean up by themselves, they will probably find a crack in the ground.As for Wei Liao's ability in military strategy, it will be used when he goes north to compete in the Central Plains in the future.When dealing with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, it was naturally necessary. Xiang Yu had Fan Zeng, Liu Bang had Zhang Liang, and he had to come up with an expert of the same level. In terms of military convenience, Wei Liao was undoubtedly a suitable candidate.In terms of politics... Yin Xu couldn't help but think of Chen Ping.

I don't know where Chen Ping is now?When he left Guanzhong, he said that he would leave Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, under the pretext of visiting relatives, and then come to Shanyin.It has been several months since Guanzhong, and I don't know what happened to Chen Ping?When is it time to come back and help yourself?At the beginning, he had promised him that the position of Yue State would be vacant, which is one of the reasons why Yin Xu did not implement the title of Yue State official as soon as possible.Now is the time when they are needed, Yin Xu began to look forward to it...

Here Pu Jun continued: "Based on the region and population, even if the tribes of Minyue and Dongou are all soldiers, it is difficult to achieve the trees they claim. According to my personal calculations and speculations, Minyue's The military strength is probably in the early 3s, and the Minyue is no more than 2. In any case, their own territory and tribes need to leave a manpower, so the total number of Minyue and Dongou coalition forces this time should not exceed 4. It is estimated that There are more than [-] troops in combat...

Our Vietnamese army originally had 5000 people. During this period of time, in accordance with the order of the king, about 7000 people were recruited from various places.Therefore, the strength of our army exceeds 5000. Of course, to ensure the safety of the capital Sanyin and the northern border, we need to draw [-] troops for defense.In addition, the newly recruited soldiers have not yet been fully trained, so they can only participate in the battle selectively.In this case, our elite troops that can be put into battle are about [-]. "

Pu Jun talked eloquently, clearly explaining the comparison of the strength of Dongou, Fujian and Yue armies, and the strength of Yue, and everyone could hear it clearly.In this way, fighting will be more handy and more confident.

Pu Jun continued: "It can be seen from this that the strength of our army is basically the same as that of Dongou and Minyue, and it is completely capable of fighting. As for the quality and combat power of our soldiers, our army's elite troops have all experienced fighting against Qin and experienced After many battles, they are not weak in terms of combat experience and morale. Although Minyue and Dongou also participated in the anti-Qin battle, they are obviously inferior to us in this regard. Their advantage is the soldiers themselves physical fitness.

Whether it is Dongou or Minyue, they are descendants of the former Yue King Goujian who went south and the descendants of the local tribes.They have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and the living conditions are harsh, so they have developed stronger bodies and responsiveness.However, at this point, our army can use formation and command coordination to make up for it. After all, their soldiers in the mountains are used to being free and loose, and it is not easy to restrain them well.As for how this battle will be carried out, the king still needs to show it? "

Yin Xu nodded lightly, and said: "Okay, let's talk freely about how this battle will proceed! I want to hear your opinions first. Bozhou, let's start with you!"

Su An was slightly taken aback, Pu Jun's conclusion just now was very brilliant, he told a lot about the strength and weakness of the enemy and ourselves.I have been with Yin Xu and Pu Jun for so long, and I have been studying for a long time. If I can't explain why, it would be really shameful.

After sorting out his thoughts slightly, Su An said: "It's like this. Now Minyue and Dongou are divided into two groups, attacking our country from two directions. The main force of Dongou crossed the Ou River and attacked Lu from the south. Nan Kuaiji, where Ming and Zhou Da's troops were stationed, then wanted to attack the capital of Shanyin directly along the coast. The Minyue Army led by Wu Zhu crossed mountains and ridges, entered the territory of Fanyi, and attacked by detours.

Today, the two most important regions in our country are Nanhuiji and Fanyi, neither of which can be easily lost.Fanyi is located on the bank of Pengli Lake, mostly plains with fertile land, and is an important grain-producing area.What's more, that place is also the hometown of the king, and our cavalry training base is also there, so its importance is self-evident.

What's more serious is that once Fanyi falls and is occupied by the enemy, it will encircle our country from two directions in the southwest.To the east is the vast Dahai, and to the north is Xiang Yu's Beikuaiji County. At that time, there will be enemies on all sides, surrounded by people, and the situation will be extremely dangerous.Therefore, there is absolutely no room for loss in Fanyi.

Nan Kuaiji is the original foundation of Yue State, and it is the barrier to the south of Shanyin, if it is broken.The enemy army will drive straight in, arrive at the foot of Shanyin City, and threaten the capital, so they must be intercepted in the middle. "

When Su An said this, he paused slightly, and secretly looked up to see everyone's reaction.Seeing this, Yin Xu nodded and said, "Bozhou, go ahead, just speak freely!"

Su An bowed and nodded, and continued: "According to this situation, it seems that we should set up defenses on both sides to block the two enemy forces. But I don't think so, I'm wondering if we can relax on one side, even temporarily Lose part of the benefits. Let's concentrate our superior forces and deal with one side first...

Si Yao and Wu Zhu sent troops together, but each had their own agendas, and the two armies fought independently without unified deployment and command.This gives us opportunities and breakthroughs, as long as there is a breakthrough here.We can concentrate our forces and annihilate one of them first, so that the remaining party will be helpless and unable to resist alone.In this process, even if you lose part of the benefits, it doesn't matter, you can quickly get them back at any time! "

Su An breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "On the contrary, if both sides are on guard, there is likely to be a situation of evenly matched forces. In that case, our army will be held in Bianjing in the south, and the two armies will confront each other for a long time. How huge the consumption is, we can’t even imagine the wasted time alone. Your Majesty has great ambitions. The future direction of our Yue Kingdom is to carry the Central Plains. If it is because of the fetters of the small Dongou and Minyue in the south, how can we get in? Fighting for hegemony? So there is no need to spend too much time and energy with them, this battle should be resolved quickly."

"Quick battle and quick decision?" Yin Xu whispered to himself, then looked at Su An, and said loudly, "Bozhou, according to your opinion, our Vietnamese army should concentrate our superior forces and concentrate on attacking Si Yao and Wu Zhu. ?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Dongou and Wuzhu, as long as one of the two is destroyed, the other will not be able to persist. We will be able to defeat each of them." Su An did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied.

Yin Xu pondered for a moment, looked at the mouth and asked: "Bozhou, which one do you think we should concentrate our forces on first?"
