Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Soon after, Fu Jinzhan awarded Guo Shao the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and Guo Shao asked to set up a temporary military mansion on the south side of the temple, named "Jiangnan Qianying Shogunate", which was responsible for the operation of the Southern Tang War. On behalf of Guo Shao, the privy envoy Wang Pu took charge of the military seal and presided over everything. There were Prime Minister Li Gu, Taichang Temple Qing Zuoyou, Kaifeng Mansion Left Office Push Officer Huang Binglian, Hakka Provincial Envoy Zan Jurun, and two members of the Privy Council and dozens of officials.

The people collected and sorted out the news, formulated strategies, and proceeded step by step to prepare for the launch of a war against the Southern Tang State.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guo Shao suddenly got news: Li Chuyun had captured Chizhou!

Guo Shao was sitting in the lobby of the shogunate. He was really taken aback when he heard Wang Pu's words. He quickly turned to confirm on the picture behind him, and then turned to look at Wang Pu: "Chizhou? Did I hear it wrong?"

Wang Pu is not a person who is accustomed to joking, and his expression is serious: "The memorial that the Privy Council just received is Chizhou, Chizhou, just south of Shouzhou! The memorial is in my hands, and Guo Du will check it out. "

Wang Pu came forward and handed Guo Shao the report in his hand. When Guo Shao got the things, he didn't forget to look back and confirm his position.

This... As the saying goes, the plan can't keep up with the changes. It is really incredible to see the location of Chizhou!

After Li Chuyun eliminated Zhou Xingfeng, the main force was originally in the Dongting Lake area of ​​Hunan; what Guo Shao originally hoped was that Li Chuyun’s department would go eastward along the river and occupy the relatively weak Wuchang Jie Town (Nantang General Lin Renzhao’s suggestion was not adopted. He himself It was also transferred back to Jinling); then based in Wuchang, the land and water descended along the river. The initial purpose was to put pressure on the west of the Southern Tang State and deal with the main force of the Southern Tang Army with Hongzhou (Nanchang) as the center.

The town of Wuchang Festival is in Hubei, along the Yangtze River, there are Jiujiang and Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Chizhou is in Anhui, and the east is close to Jiangsu...There are many important towns from Wuchang to Chizhou.

Guo Shao wondered how Li Chuyun moved so fast, so he hurriedly started to read the report.

Li Chuyun reported that after the Battle of Wuping, he sent a fleet to cruise eastward along the river. Originally, he only wanted to find out about the movements of the Southern Tang State; he found that the Southern Tang Army tried his best to avoid it on the river and did not stop it. Li Chuyun guessed that Jinling was afraid of getting angry and was unwilling to easily conflict with the Great Zhou Army.

At this time, the court's order of commendation came, and Li Chuyun was ordered to make a decision on the occasion. At that time, Li Chuyun thought that once Wuchang was attacked, he would declare a state of war, and would stun the snakes. The Dazhou Army’s goal was Jinling. Tang Guo is heavily armed, it may be difficult to advance eastward.

So Li Chuyun temporarily adopted a bold strategy and ordered hundreds of navy fleets to go ahead and try to cross the estuary (the mouth of the Poyang Lake); as expected, he was not blocked by the Southern Tang Army. The horse infantry who were preparing to reach Jiangbei quickly followed up and caught up with the navy from the north bank of the river. The navy soon burned down the weakly guarded Nantang Junjun Village in the west of Chizhou. After landing, they raided Chizhou. Chizhou's defenses were relaxed and the city broke for a day. Li Chuyun then built a pontoon bridge at Jiajiangkou with Jiangxin Sandbanks, mobilized the main force across the river, and operated Chizhou up and down defense.

Insufficient troops did not dare to divide the troops and advance, only occupy Chizhou Kuaima to report to the reinforcements.

Guo Shao watched pacing back and forth quickly. Wang Pudao: "Li Chuyun's approach seems to be radical, but in fact he is very deliberate about the overall situation.

The evidence of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the Great River Tianmo; the battle of Jiangnan focuses on the navy. If the army of the Central Plains wants to cross the river, they must first fight on the river. The water battle is unfavorable, even if there are millions of cavalry. There are two ways for the Central Plains Navy to enter the lower reaches of the river: one is to go down the river from the upper reaches; and the other is to go south along the canal of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and cross the river from Guazhou, Yangzhou.

In addition, the navy cannot enter the downstream. Ships can also be built temporarily on the riverside, but the large amount of oak and nanmu needed to build warships needs to be transported by land, which is very expensive; the wood is not suitable and will be defeated by the Jiangnan navy.

Water and land follow the river from the upper reaches, and it is difficult to rush to the map. As Li Chuyun said, there are many important towns along the road, and it is difficult to break through the lake mouth alone. The lower reaches of Guazhou Ferry and Jingkou, namely the Southern Tang State Runzhou (Zhenjiang), have always been a battleground for military strategists; the Southern Tang State will do its best to operate, with numerous naval forces on the river and numerous important towns on the south bank, crossing the river is extremely difficult.

Today Li Chuyun occupies Chizhou, east of the most important ferry quarrying in the lower reaches of the river, as long as he establishes a foothold here, there will be a gap for the enterprising Jiangnan. The old man remonstrated that he should fully support Li Chuyun immediately and readjust his overall strategy. "

Guo Shao thought for a while, and said: "The main force of Li Chuyun's army is the left arm of the Tiger and Jie Army with 20,000 people. In addition, Xiangzhou Zhoujun Navy and Jingnan have seized warships, and Shu has seized more than 300 large and small warships. On the water. For a while, it was impossible to provide strong reinforcements. After the capture of Chizhou, the Southern Tang State would definitely block the mouth of the lake... Taking advantage of the Chizhou pontoon bridge was not lost, first adjust the horses and rush to help, hoard food and grass from Chizhou, in case the river is disadvantaged and Li Chuyun is isolated on the south bank. ."

"This method is very good." Wang Pu pondered for a moment. "At present, Huainan is empty, and the elite soldiers are gathering in Tokyo. Where can they be deployed for reinforcements?"

Guo Shaodao: "Gao Yanjian's Jiannan Army is in Shouzhou..."

"Shu's army is coming?" Wang Pu's face was uncertain.

Guo Shao hesitated for a moment and said sternly: "I think Gao Yanjian is a reliable person, besides, there are no elite personnel nearby to reinforce him."

Wang Pu is noncommittal.

At this moment, Zuo You, Zan Jurun and others also came to the lobby, and the crowd exchanged the news.

Guo Shao took a picture and looked at it without saying a word. In his mind, he relied only on Li Chuyun's words to describe the scene of the imagination on the front line. After a while, he picked up a pen and made a mark between Chizhou and Jiujiang, and wrote the word "Wankou". At the moment, I looked through the classified files and found the records inside. A few months ago, the Privy Council ordered Shuzhou Jiedu to build ships in Wanshui... It belongs to the kind of materials that are not enough to meet the specifications, and Wang Pu said that he "will lose" Battleship.

"Ahem..." Guo Shao made a voice. Everyone stopped talking and turned around.

Guo Shaodao: "I don't think the initial reinforcements should be delayed, but I can immediately order the Jiannan Army's left and right side command envoy Gao Yanjian to go south in a hurry and follow the dispatch of Li Chuyun, the leader of the West Route Army; order the Jiedu envoys of the Huainan towns to send grain to Chizhou.

Li Chuyun seized the opportunity to advance the war. Although it was a bit hasty, we should make changes at the moment and immediately formulate a strategy centered on Li Chuyun.

In the second step, the Shuzhou Jiedu was ordered to lead the Wanshui naval forces into the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Anhui Province to guard against the eastward movement of the Southern Tang Army at the mouth of the lake in the west, as a deterrent and warning. It is suggested that Li Chuyun mobilize the Jiannan Army to the west and attack Hukou by land in order to intimidate the defenders of Hukou.

Order the Xiangzhou Jiedu Envoy to deploy to the west, and then send troops to Jiangling Prefecture to cross the river, and order Fang, Jun, Deng, Tang, Shen, Sui, An, and Ying to deploy troops and increase food to attack Wuchang Jie Town; Taking Wuchang, it will move to Jiangzhou (Jiujiang), and threaten the southern Tang army to the west.

This deployment is to relieve Li Chuyun's pressure on the west.

In the third step, after Han Tong sailed across the Huai River, he immediately moved south from Caoqu to Yangzhou, threatening the Southern Tang navy in the east, seeking an opportunity for a decisive battle; Jin Yan, the Queen Mother, urged Wu Yueguo to send troops to attack Runzhou. This time, in order to alleviate Li Chuyun's east side water threat.

The fourth step is to mobilize the elite soldiers of the Department of Guards to go south to reinforce Chizhou; Jinyan deploys soldiers and horses to guard against the Northern Han Dynasty. Then I and the shogunate of the former camp led the main force of the front office to go south, and coordinated various battles...Goal: Quarry ferry! "

The lobby became silent, because Guo Shao said a lot and everyone was thinking about it. But Wang Pu and Li Gu's eyes on Guo Shao were different from before... After all, Guo Shao is a martial artist, and it is very strange that he can sort out the situation in a short time.

If a war starts, the front line along the river will be turbulent, and wars may occur everywhere that will affect the overall situation. To be able to grasp the center, key, and clues from the chaotic situation really requires brains.

Although Guo Shao is a martial artist, his articles and writing are poorly written, but his thinking is not rigid. After all, after many years of education and thinking training in modern times, he still has a lot of ideas.

The powerful masters who were able to master the overall situation, govern the arts and martial arts, and have rich experience are no longer there. It is the first time that Guo Shao has presided over such a big battle; attacking Shu is a completely different experience, because the roads at the immigration department of Shu are narrow, simple and difficult. It is about attacking danger and not deploying. Different from the Southern Tang State, the two-dimensional warfare on land and water, with a wide front and a more complicated situation, puts the deployment of decision makers to the test even more.

Guo Shao could not determine whether his ideas were Chinese or not, because he did not have similar experience. But he has adjusted his mentality during this period of time... There is no way in the world, and there is a way after passing. How can one get results without trying?

Seeing that everyone hadn't spoken, he said: "Let's start now, and Wang Shijun can lower the order to Gao Yanjun. For the rest, prepare paper and ink. Let's make a draft first."

At a time when everyone had something to do, they couldn't help but obey Guo Shao's arrangement, and each got busy. On the one hand, Wang Pu sent someone to arrange for an envoy to speed up, and on the other hand, he went to the government office to obtain a printing order.

Guo Shao's tone is calm, but his eyes are sharp, he speaks fluently and quickly, showing an image of energetic and clear mind ~www.readwn.com~The officials have already trusted him unknowingly.

"Roughly there is a key goal, the quarrying ferry; around a central breakthrough, Li Chuyun Department. Then divided into four steps, the first step, our shogunate has been granted the power to grant troops to the queen mother, has already decided to implement." Guo Shao said to Zuo You. "Zuo Shaoqing is here to write the overall combat program... Others will write their own steps from front to back, and I will describe them separately. First make a draft, and then discuss to check for missing vacancies; after it is improved, it will be submitted to the Queen Mother and the center tomorrow morning. Respect the minister and determine the implementation plan."

Wang Pu took the palm of his hand and returned to the lobby after finishing the business. He checked the files compiled some time ago, thinking about the strategy proposed by Guo Shao.

The entire draft is not too long. Everyone repeated the inferences and checked them carefully after dissolution. Noon and dinner were eaten at the front office of the palace. Guo Shao and Wang Pu also stayed in the suites of the government office at night to save time back and forth.

Li Chuyun’s method of work undoubtedly pushed the war into a tense atmosphere at once; major events are often decisive at the beginning, because as the situation develops, the road will become narrower and the result will become clearer and more controllable. It's very small.
