Chapter 6 Arrangement Plan
Let’s talk about who is under Yue Fei’s general:
Central Army Commander: Wang Gui, Yue Fei's confidant. He had a great record of battle. He fought in Yixing, defeated Guo Ji, defeated Gao Ju, Zhang Cheng, recovered Xiangyang and Dengzhou.
Former Army Commander: Zhang Xian, Yue Fei's favorite and relied on the general, Chenzhou defeated Cao Cheng, recovered the six counties of Xiangyang, and conquered Suizhou. If there were no Yue Fei, Zhang Xian was the only one who could command the Yue family army.
Yue Yun, the son of Yue Fei. His achievements were mostly hidden by his father Yue Fei and unknown to others, but he was well-known among the Yue Family Army, the most elite unit of the Yue Family Army, the Beiwei Army.
Yue Fei looked at his general and his son Yue Yun and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows His Majesty's will. If you have any ideas, please put forward them. Let us discuss them first."
All the generals were thinking, but no one spoke out for a moment. Everyone understood that what Your Majesty wanted was a beautiful victory this time. However, how to fight was a beautiful one was a problem.
Just like Yingchang opposite, if a large army attacks the city, it can be defeated in less than a day. But such victory is really worthy of the right to act cheaply granted by Your Majesty, and everyone shook their heads in their hearts.
If there were no such power, the generals might have been more conservative, but it would not be appropriate now.
Seeing that no one was talking, Wang Gui said, "I think that although we are near Yingchang, we can attack Huaining first. After taking Huaining, we will isolate Yingchang. The puppet Qi will definitely send troops to rescue him. This way, we can surround the points and attack. Our army uses defense instead of attacking, which can avoid losses to the greatest extent."
Yue Fei thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Although this is good, it is far from the great victory that His Majesty expects. Moreover, although Yingchang is the gateway to Henan, it is not necessary for the pseudo-Qi to abandon it. They can join forces with the Jin Kingdom and send troops to Huaining. At that time, there will be danger under the attacks from front and back."
Wang Gui stared at the map, thought for a while and felt that his plan was indeed too conservative and not safe enough. But he was also going to start, so he immediately stared at the map and thought about his plan.
Yue Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "Father, your son can lead 5,000 Beiwei Army all the way north and go straight to the direction of Bianjing. If it goes well and successfully capture Bianjing, you can recover the Central Plains soon."
All the generals were speechless and had a good idea. The Bian Jing was captured and the pseudo-Qi regime was destroyed. By then, the Song Dynasty sent troops again, most of the Northern Expedition would be successful. And it perfectly met Your Majesty's requirements. How could it not be met? They all hit the capital!
But you have to be able to succeed. You can go straight through Yingchang and Huaining, but Shunchang has Jin Wushu garrison, and Bianjing has 50,000 Jin troops.
Yue Fei looked at his son and knew that he admired the great man Huo Qubing and wanted to establish the achievements of Fenglangjuxu. In the military camp, this son was not afraid of anyone except himself. Now he even raised such an idea. It was so tiring. Even his father didn't dare to think so.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Yue Yun patted his chest and promised, "Father, I can issue a military order."
Yue Fei was furious. His son dared to say anything, and even issued a military order: "In the army, you should call me a general! Come and take him down."
Yue Yun was taken down with a depressed look on his face. He looked into the tent and told himself secretly: One day he would build a great achievement than his father, and then he would ask his father to take a good look at what the young general of the Song Dynasty was.
Zhang Xian advised from the side: "General, don't be angry. Everyone knows Yue Yun's ability is nothing more than a little young and vigorous, and it's not harmful."
All the generals were relieved one after another, but taking advantage of this time, they all came up with some countermeasures. Yue Fei waved his hand and signaled that he didn't care and continued to discuss the Northern Expedition.
Unfortunately, everyone's ideas are either too conservative and do not meet His Majesty's requirements; or they are too dangerous and have a high possibility of failure.
After discussing for a while, no result was achieved. At this time, Yue Fei saw Zhang Xian frowning and asked, "Zhang Xian, what do you think."
Zhang Xian came back to his senses and said, "General, I don't think there is actually so much tricks or so conservative. The Jin soldiers do not value most of the northern cities now, except for Shunchang and Bianjing. We might as well attack from Yingchang and recover Huaining, Zhengzhou and Luoyang. If it goes smoothly, we will win in a row. By then, our army will inevitably be amazing and we can fight Jin Wushu in Shunchang with the momentum of victory."
Everyone looked at Zhang Xian in amazement after hearing this. Without waiting, Zhang Xian's suggestion was indeed perfectly in line with His Majesty's requirements. Moreover, the danger was much lower than that proposed by others.
Many ghosts, if the plans proposed by the previous generals were not too bold, they would not have felt that way. However, although Zhang Xian’s suggestion was very dangerous, it was indeed a steady and steadily meeting all requirements.
Yue Fei's eyes lit up, and he felt that the plan was very satisfying to him: "This is indeed a good idea."
Wang Gui dissuaded: "General! This plan is too risky. The battles along the way can indeed condense the momentum of soldiers. But once we encounter failure in the middle and the hardships of the northern expedition, our army may have dispersed morale. At that time, if Jin Wushu attacks, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
Zhang Xian said, "But once we win, our army will be powerful and our morale will be greatly boosted. Moreover, Your Majesty is more satisfied with the general. After all, Your Majesty grants the right to act cheaply and has no control. If there is no big victory, how can you be worthy of the power in your hands?
Wang Gui knew what Zhang Xian meant, but he wanted to win a big victory, and told the civil servants in the court that generals did not need civil servants to curse in the military camp all day long. But this plan was still too risky, although Wang Gui also felt that it was feasible. Wang Gui subconsciously thought and cursed in his heart, and he must have been bewitched by Zhang Xian, a bastard.
In fact, it is not only Wang Gui, but also the generals under Yue Fei think that this plan is indeed feasible, but, just like that, it is too dangerous.
"General, be cautious. Don't be too hasty in the Northern Expedition."
Yue Fei carefully stared at the topographic map of the area and thought for a long time: "Although Zhang Xian's suggestion was a bit risky, it was indeed the best situation at the moment. But it needs to be improved. Wang Gui, you lead 10,000 soldiers to attack Zhengzhou, then go straight to Luoyang, and arrive at Shunchang as fast as possible. Zhang Xian, you and Yue Yun lead the soldiers of the Beiwei Army to attack Yingchang, and then turn to Chenzhou. By then, our army will besieged Shunchang, and Jin Wuzhu will not escape with his wings."
After hearing Yue Fei's plan, Zhang Xian frowned: "General, if the troops are divided, someone needs to attract Jin Wushu's army and create time for us. General, no!" Zhang Xian understood Yue Fei's plan and hurriedly grabbed Yue Fei's arm and stopped him.
"I will lead the remaining 10,000 soldiers to capture Yancheng. Yancheng is not far from Shunchang and is not close. Jin Wushu will definitely not be subject to this anger, and he will definitely send troops at that time."
"General!"
Yue Fei's improvement plan success rate has increased a lot, but this is when the main force of the Jin army was attracted to it. Once Yue Fei was defeated by the Jin army and there was no main force to restrain it, the Song army on both sides would be very dangerous. What's more, Yue Fei is the commander of the Song army this time. If Yue Fei fails, it will be really dangerous.
"So this battle is a speed battle. As long as your two lines are fast enough to annihilate the enemy to the greatest extent, the Jin soldiers will definitely return to defense. At that time, under the attacks from front and back, a siege will form a siege. He will definitely be able to capture Jin Wushu alive."
Seeing that the generals were still trying to persuade each other, Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "There is no need to discuss too much from each department, and act according to the plan."
"yes."
All generals held their fists and took the orders and went out to arrange the camps.
