Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 395 Suggest a way out
"Liu Yilong... I hope Liu Laozhi arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Song's soldiers and horses can stop the Ming army's offensive!"

Bu Zhi sighed.

In addition to Li Wenzhong, the Ming army also had Geng Bingwen, Kang Maocai and other generals,

The 80 army is as imposing as a rainbow. If it is not because there are strong enemies on three sides, only a part of the soldiers and horses can be used to attack Jingkou.Liu Song had long been unable to hold on under the attack of the Ming army.

Han Xizai said: "Liu Laozhi is a famous general in the world, and the Beifu army is also an elite. With the food and equipment provided by our army, it should be no problem to block the Ming army!"

Everyone in the hall has no objection to forming an alliance with Liu Song,
The civil and military officials have reached a consensus, that is, the Huai army has wiped out several princes in succession since it dispatched troops, and the soldiers have become blunt.

Although the morale of the soldiers in the army is still good, their physical strength and spirit are on the verge of limit, and they must be relaxed for a period of time.

There is time for relaxation.

Only then can they stabilize the soaring strength stimulated by the battlefield and become even stronger.

But during the period when they become stronger.

The Huai army must take back that aggressive offensive, focus on internal adjustments, and appease the tens of thousands of people who have been ravaged by war.

If the people near Yangzhou do not return their hearts, Wang Jing will easily lose his way if he wants to cross the river and attack the south of the Yangtze River.

Xie Hui looked slightly hesitant at this time, and he spoke after a while, saying, "Your Majesty, I think that the Jiangnan region is certainly a strategic point that our army should pay attention to in the future, but the west and north cannot be ignored!"

"I have read the previous military reports these days. Zhongli in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, that is, Fengyang, and Xuzhou to the north of the canal are very important to our army!"

"Among them, Fengyang is an important place in the Jianghuai River. If the princes of the Central Plains annex each other in the future, and a prince who dominates the Central Plains appears, he wants to attack the Jianghuai. The most likely two routes are to enter the Huaihe River along the Yingshui River to attack Shouchun, Fengyang! If the two places are occupied, the enemy army can go straight down and directly attack the hinterland of our army!"

When Xie Hui spoke, Wang Jing, Bu Zhi and others listened carefully.

Although Xie Hui didn't have a very good reputation in history, he did have abilities. He was an important helper for Liu Yu in founding the dynasty, and a think tank for leading troops to fight and give advice.

If Liu Yu can rule the world, then Xie Hui can become a figure like Chen Ping.

Although his official position in the Huai army is not high at this time, but he can participate in the discussions of the core important ministers, and everyone will never ignore his suggestion.

At this moment, Wang Jing nodded subconsciously when he heard it.

Wang Jing led the army to sweep all the way in Huaidong, only thinking about how to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River, but he did neglect his own rear.

Of course, it wasn't that Wang Jing really ignored the back.

But among the three forces to the west of the Huai Army, the Xiang Family Army of Western Chu and the Yuan Ying Army of the Northern Wei Dynasty are on the north of the Huaihe River, and the elite Nanliang under the command of Cao Jingzong is in Fengyang to the south of the Huai River.

The soldiers and horses of the three families are relatively sharp and capable of fighting well, even if the Huai army is facing each other, they will have to peel off their skins.

However, they are strong and strong, but they lack civil governance. They can be strong for a while, but they are destined to be short-lived. Therefore, Wang Jing regards these forces as a shield against the princes of the farther west and the farther north.

As long as the three forces do not perish, Wang Jing does not have to think about the problem of the west for the time being.

"I also understand what the king wants. I want the Xiang family and Cao Jingzong to act as shields. This is not wrong, but things change at any time. Before our army takes Yangzhou, this is indeed a good way to stabilize the rear!"

"But after taking Yangzhou, our army has to consider how to take Fengyang, including the Shouchun important area in the west! Only when the two places are in our own hands can we truly stabilize the West Road!"

Xie Hui made it very clear.

Fengyang, a strategically important area, is in the hands of others, and the Huai army will always be in a passive situation. One day in the future, when the Central Plains are unified and they want to attack Jianghuai, then Fengyang will become a weakness for the Huai army.

At this time, the territory of the Huai Army was divided into four parts by the Huaihe River and the Canal from north to south. In other words, the Huaihe River and the Canal were the life and death lines of the Huai Army.

Once the two major rivers are controlled by the enemy, or the strategic location of the river falls into the hands of the enemy, the Huai army will lose three points of victory before the decisive battle.

"Mr. Xie is right!"

Han Xizai pondered for a while, and agreed: "Since ancient times, Shouzhou has been the most important land in the Jianghuai area. With the current territory distribution of our army, Shouchun will be the important town in the west of the dynasty when the country is established in the future!"

"There are also Suqian and Pizhou, and our army must take them first. Take Suqian and Pizhou as the important towns on the north road!"

Wang Jing nodded slightly.

"Mr. Xie reminded that the south of the Yangtze River is vast, and there are many princes and powerful enemies. Before attacking the south of the Yangtze River, we should indeed stabilize the rear! But even if we use troops to the west and north, it will be after expanding the army and stabilizing the internal affairs."

When thinking of the three forces in the west.

Wang Jing already had a solution to them.

Leaving aside Yuanying's troops in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Cao Jingzong of the Southern Liang Dynasty who occupied Fengyang, Wang Jing felt that he could be incorporated.

Xiao Yan has already been defeated.

However, Xiao Liang's descendants, clansmen, Yang Kan and Xiao Yuanming are all in the Huai army. They have inextricable ties with Cao Jingzong, and they can't just get rid of if they want to.

Wang Jing sent someone to contact Cao Jingzong before, but Cao Jingzong ignored him.

This is also understandable.

After all, before taking Yangzhou, the reputation of the Huai army had not settled down, and its strength was only a little bit stronger than that of the Nanliang elite.It is impossible for Cao Jingzong to accept his head and worship with just a few words from an envoy.

However, the situation is different now than before.

The Huai army defeated powerful enemies in a row and captured Yangzhou. Their prestige and reputation spread across Jianghuai and Jiangnan in an instant.

And Wang Jing's rapidly increasing seventh-tier powerhouse... the army that is about to expand to millions, these are all important weights, which can be weighed on Cao Jingzong's heart.

Cao Jingzong didn't join him at the beginning because the Huai army was not strong enough.

Now that Wang Jing sent another envoy, Cao Jingzong would definitely think about it seriously.

"Cao Jingzong is easy to solve, and now there is only one suitable person to go to Fengyang to contact him."

Wang Jing thought to himself.

Cao Jingzong solved it, so Yuanying of the Northern Wei Dynasty who confronted Cao Jingzong was naturally not a problem. With the strong intervention of the Huai army, Yuanying would undoubtedly lose.

There is also Lingbi in the north, that is, the Xiang clan of Western Chu in Gaixia. This force is the target that the Huai army really wants to send troops, and it will take hundreds of thousands of troops to solve it.

Of course, if Xiang Yu came to Shenzhou before the Huai army sent troops, Wang Jing would give up the idea of ​​sending troops.

"Xiang Yu... the enemy!"

Wang Jing lamented that this kind of top overlord in China can only be solved by his nemesis in the original history, the soldier fairy Han Xin.
