The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 531 Sweeping like a Rolling Feast ([-])

"Your Majesty, since Zhang Lingxing, the former general of the Han State, left the town of Yong'an, in the past three years, the Han State has built a large number of ships in Yong'an, Jiangzhou and other places. The area of ​​​​the shipyards stretches no less than dozens of miles of waterways. With this cooperation, a large number of people were dispatched to destroy and burn the shipyard of the Han State. However, the garrison of the Han State and Si Wencao’s strength in the shipyard were also very strong. The strength of the navy has surpassed that of the Jingzhou navy."

"Your Majesty, the Huainan army under my command has been transferred many times to reinforce the Jingzhou and Jiaozhou armies, and now there are only less than 3 people left. If the Han Dynasty aggressively attacks Huainan, I can only stick to it in Shouchun or Hefei. Others, I can't do anything..."

On June 25, Zhong Hui and Zhang Zheng entered Jianye.Above the court, the commanders of the two corps shook their heads at the current situation, feeling unable to cope.

"Bah~!" He patted the case table heavily: "You two lovers, I didn't invite you here to listen to your complaints. I want you to come up with a way to deal with it!"

Really anxious, now Sun Hao doesn't pretend to be a good temper.But what's the use of him getting angry so bluntly?After Zhong Hui and Zhang Zheng looked at each other, they both lowered their heads helplessly: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, Zhou Chu stood up without any difficulty: "Your Majesty, all the superiors, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. Before deciding how to deal with it, should I ask You Si to inform us about our country's current family background?"

Soochow these years, although did not get any favors on the battlefield.But to be honest, the Kuaiji family was greatly weakened due to the purge of the Lu Royal Party.Compared with when Sun Xiu was alive, his national strength has been enhanced.

Population controlled by the state: 230 million.

Army: After many defeats and many replenishments.Now there are 16.Among them, there are [-] Jingzhou Army Corps (including [-] Marine Army), [-] Yangzhou Army Corps (including [-] Marine Army), and [-] Jiaozhou Army (including [-] Marine Army).The three capitals of Wunan, Jiefan, and Zhangxia in the central government have a total strength of [-] troops.

Food: In 274 and 275, the Yangtze River was flooded, and the national treasury was almost completely empty.In 276, finally encountered a good year.Now there are about 700 million shi in the treasury.

Qian: The salt tax was directly cut by more than half because of the influx of Ji Han's large amount of private salt.In terms of trade, the bulk of Soochow's previous exports were grain, Gebu, linen and porcelain.However, due to the domestic disaster and the fact that Ji Han is no longer in short supply of food.This food export is completely gone.For other commodities, Gebu and linen are losing ground in front of Jihan's increasingly prosperous cotton cloth.Ordinary porcelain is also completely vulnerable to the bone china of the Han Dynasty in the previous period-in short, the trade is so huge that it is basically impossible to collect commercial taxes.

Therefore, at this moment, there is only 25 billion in Soochow's treasury.

After listening to Wan Yu's report, all the participants felt that their hearts and bodies were getting colder.

"Your Majesty, I propose..."

"Please speak, Shi Ji."

"The country is difficult, but in order to deal with the invasion of the Han Dynasty, this soldier still needs to be conscripted. Your Majesty, I think that at least another 10 people will be conscripted to increase the national strength to 26."

"..." Just as Zhong Hui finished speaking, Wan Yu unconsciously took a step forward.But soon he refrained: Yes, the country's finances are very difficult.If there are too many military conscriptions, the burden will be heavy.But if there is no conscription, what is the point of the country being gone?
"Your Majesty, if it is possible to increase the number of troops to 26, then I suggest the following strategies for deployment: first, Jingzhou deploys [-] troops, of which [-] are naval troops. Second, Yangzhou deploys [-] troops, of which [-] are naval troops. Three, keep [-] troops in Jiaozhou. Fourth, Your Majesty will command an army of [-] troops to build a business. When the Han invades, it will be replenished wherever it is in danger."

"...Is there any basis for Shi Ji's arrangement?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Hui smiled slightly: "Based on my calculations, the strategy of the Han Dynasty should be that first the Nanyang soldiers attack Xiangyang first, and the main force of the Jingzhou Corps that attracts all the followers goes north to Jiangbei. Then take advantage of our army's Jingzhou Yangtze River defense line When it was empty, Yizhou's naval forces went down the river to attack Xiling and Jiangling. In this way, the Jingzhou army of the generals would be trapped on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Your Yangzhou army can't move. So, after our Jingzhou army is wiped out, the enemy's navy will go east to Yangzhou and lock your army in Huainan and Jiangbei...

The key to this battle is to defend Jingzhou.If Jingzhou is not lost, then at most I will destroy Huainan.If Jingzhou is lost, the enemy's large navy will go down the river.Then I am passive everywhere.

So, my suggestion is.The Jingzhou army abandoned Xiangyang and gathered the strength of the whole army to defend Xiling.Your Majesty, gentlemen, the waterway of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is extremely steep.Large ships are not accessible in summer.Therefore, if the minister's predictions are correct, the invasion of the Han Dynasty should be in this winter.At that time, as long as the generals can stick to it until the summer of the next year... Hehehe, then I will be able to make Zhang Lingxing the second Liu Xuande. "

In general, Zhong Hui's strategy is to replicate the way Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei in Yiling.

Because the waterways of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in this era are densely covered with hidden reefs, it is difficult for large ships to pass through when the water is rough in summer.Therefore, if Yizhou in the upper reaches wanted to conquer Jingzhou in the middle reaches, it generally had to choose to march in winter.

Xiling is the former Yiling.This place guards the key node where the Yangtze River waterway changes from narrow to wide. As long as this place is guarded, the enemy will not be able to advance an inch.

And as time goes on, after summer.It is even more miserable for the enemies from upstream: at this time, the Yangtze River is surging again, and you can't just go back if you want to.At this time, the initiative on the battlefield will be transferred to the downstream side... This is Lu Xun's strategy against Liu Bei in the past.

Of course, Liu Bei only had one state in Yizhou back then, and could not attack from the north of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.But now Ji Han can attack in multiple ways, so it is not enough to just copy Lu Xun's strategy back then.

"Your Majesty, after responding in the direction of Xiling in this way. In Yangzhou, I will use [-] infantry as the main force, relying on the two fortified cities of Shouchun and Hefei, to resist one by one. Try to delay the time. Your Majesty is in Jianye, personally training the newly recruited recruits. Then use the [-] Yangzhou Navy as a maneuver. Wherever there is a crisis or where there is a war opportunity, His Majesty can lead Wudi, Jiefan, the three capitals under the tent, and a hundred thousand troops. Success or failure will be determined by one battle!

The difficulty of this battle lies in whether our army's initial persistence can be delayed from winter to summer as I expected.Among them, the pressure of the generals in Xiling was the greatest.Moreover, I don't know whether the current siege method of the Han Dynasty has been improved.After all, Luoyang three years ago fell too fast!In the past three years, Chen and Shunmin have sent many people to the north to investigate.It is heard that the enemy should have used the method of trench digging, but since the people interviewed were not of high status, it is still not clear what kind of system this trench method is. ..."

"Hmph, Luoyang fell so quickly, the fundamental reason is that the people of the Sima family are too useless! Besides, I don't know exactly how the trench method is. But I am located in the south of Dawu. Along the line All important cities and towns are located in places where the water network is densely covered. No matter how the Han Dynasty digs trenches, hahaha, I can guarantee that they will not dig a few hoes before a large amount of groundwater gushes out..." After listening to Zhong Hui's strategy Sun Hao just felt confident in his heart: "Shi Ji, your strategy is very good. But I want to change it a little bit."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Well, 10 of my [-] people will be allocated to Jingzhou. I will not only guard Xiling, but also Xiangyang. Xiangyang is here, and we will have a foundation for our Northern Expedition in the future! I firmly believe that Guan Zifeng will definitely do it again this time." What happened to Liu Xuande. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for me, Da Wu, to fight back!"

"...Your Majesty is holy!"
