Three hundred and twentieth chapters Wenlong's strategy
"Above the Xiangjiang River, there are hundreds of large and small water villages, and there are 80,000 water thieves and river bandits. The month before, a group of river bandits came directly to the town to rob, killing half of the people in the town." Chen Sheng said in a deep voice.
When the world is in ruins, fists are the basis of truth. The canvassers are on the move. With good luck, they are able to rob a merchant ship and spend the night in a clearing house to hire two of them.
"Shuzhou doesn't care, Muyunzhou doesn't care? What about Cangzhou?" Yu Wen frowned while listening.
The Xiangjiang River flows through several states, but without any reason, the water thieves are allowed to grow.
"Cangzhou sent ten thousand people, but they were led into the center of the river by water thieves and directly sank hundreds of river boats. I haven't heard of the others."
Xu Mu, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable in his heart. Entering the south meant that he would be closely related to the Xiangjiang River in front of him from now on.
As for why they did not send troops, it is actually easy to understand. It is nothing more than collusion. The filial sons donated money and turned a blind eye as long as it did not harm their own interests.
Eighty thousand water thieves are roaming the Xiangjiang River. If the aircraft carrier comes, they may all be stripped of their iron sheets.
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead.
I had just entered Shu, and what I encountered was a lot of nonsense.
"Yu Wen, you seem to have something to say."
Yu Wen, who had been standing by the side, waited for Chen Sheng to stop speaking, then spoke with a serious face.
"The emperor over at Muyun Prefecture has just issued a message to inform the world that General Xu is a criminal and an accomplice of... the traitor Chang Shiro. Everyone will be able to punish him."
"Is he too busy?"
Not to mention the thirty states in the world, even if Zhao Wen is pushed beyond the Great Wall or to the Western Regions, do you think anyone will pay attention to him?
"It's a bit stupid." Xu Mu sighed. He could even guess that this was more likely what Chen Changqing meant.
There are only two dog-husbands in the world, Zhao Qingyun and Chen Changqing. They were both bred by dog-fathers, and they love to do mischief the most.
However, it is indeed difficult to enter Shuzhou for the first time.
"Where's the military advisor?"
"Still in the house."
Xu Mu's chest felt astringent, and he wanted to visit and talk, but he was afraid of disturbing Jia Zhou and making him unhappy.
…
Until late at night, Xu Mu had not returned home.
Although the small Fu Feng City has a place to live, as the situation worsens, there are still too many things to consider.
"My boss, the military advisor has asked you to come over." Finally, Chen Sheng walked over excitedly, holding a lantern with one arm.
Ignoring the file in his hand, Xu Mu hurriedly stepped forward and walked forward.
"Chen Sheng, please lead someone to guard outside the house."
Opening the door, under the swaying of the oil lamp, Xu Mu saw the exhausted Jia Zhou, sitting on a chair by the table, sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
In his hand, he was holding a piece of paper with still wet ink.
He couldn't bear to make a noise.
He took the quilt from the bed and carefully put it on Jia Zhou. Then he took the paper from Jia Zhou's hand and read it silently.
"It is not easy to think about your lord, and I, Jia Wenlong, would like to make a plan for your lord based on what I have thought about for the past six days."
Strategies can be divided into big plans and small plans. Jia Zhou's "strategy" is to set the general direction of entering Shu.
"Shu is the wing of the world. In the past, our ancestors entered Shu and borrowed 50,000 barbarian troops to leave Shuchuan to ride on the wind and sweep the world..."
The great ancestor of the Ji Dynasty was defeated and entered Shu. With the help of many counselors and generals, he made an alliance with the barbarians and borrowed 50,000 barbarian soldiers. In addition to the original 50,000 troops, the combined army of 100,000 troops left Shuchuan and formed a camp step by step.
, it took fifteen years to unify thirty states in the world.
In the end, they broke the covenant and made the barbarians hostile to the Central Plains. Of course, this is a story for another day.
"Shuzhou was divided into three kings. The civil war was chaotic and the people were displaced..."
Xu Mu breathed out, and there was not much difference from the general content of Shuzhou. It was still the original plan, and there was no room for three tigers in one mountain. Of course, these three tigers had been biting each other for hundreds of years, and no one was killed.
What Jia Zhou meant was that of course he wanted to go to Shu, but not under the eyes of the three tigers. On the contrary, he should be persuaded to find a city near the river, with the big county as the first priority. After that, he would find a way to enter Shu through
The natural pass in the middle.
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
But the disadvantages of this are extremely terrible. After all, until now, the one he relies on most is the cavalry.
To take counties near the river, you have to go through water battles, build ships, open up waterways, and kill river bandits. These things are indispensable.
But the biggest advantage is that they are temporarily away from the fighting in Shu. After all, the three kings of Shu combined have a mighty army of hundreds of thousands, not counting the barbarians who have been won over.
Moreover, the terrain in central Shu is rugged. Except for the section out of Shuchuan River, it is mostly covered with dense forests and mountains. The cavalry is good, but the power it can exert must be greatly discounted.
"Heavy cavalry defends the army outside Shu, and water troops guard the enemy on the river."
The enemies on the river are not only the 80,000 river bandits, but also Muyunzhou and Cangzhou downstream. If the wind goes smoothly any month, there may be a large number of warships coming to kill them in a mighty manner.
"The three kings of Shu may send troops to my lord when the time comes. Don't worry, my lord, Wen Long already has a good strategy, and he can at least repel two conquest armies."
Now they are only on the border of Shuzhou. When they enter the middle of Shu, they will still need to pass two dangerous passes.
How difficult.
"Open the Xiangjiang waterway, build ships, and send Chen Sheng to do business to earn military pay and food. For casting, even if there are no mines nearby, you can go to Cangzhou and buy them back by water."
…
Holding the paper with still wet ink on it, Xu Mu's hands shook slightly, and every sentence Jia Zhou said came to his heart.
"Four hundred miles from here is the Xiangjiang River. Water bandits are rampant on the river. Many major counties near the river are nominally classified as Shu territory, but in fact they have been occupied by water bandits."
Jia Zhou put away the quilt, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and sat upright again.
"Wenlong, why don't you sleep a little longer."
"How can you sleep too deeply when you have big things on your mind?"
"When I get Wenlong, I will be like a tiger with added wings."
"The Lord said these words again." Taking the tea from Xu Mu, Jia Zhou showed a pleased smile.
"My lord killed the treacherous prime minister and rejected Beidi, which is a world-famous one. My lord can go to the invitation and send it to the three kings of Shu. With the attitude of making good friends, these three kings of Shu, due to my lord's reputation, will not be killed in a short time."
Something strange happened."
"Wenlong, Yuan An over there in Muyunzhou has published a great article on the world."
"I know." Jia Zhou said calmly, "But these things are useless. The imperial power is declining. To put it bluntly, if the 30,000 national salvation camp under Yuan An were completely broken up by Chen Changqing, he might not even be able to leave the palace.
go out."
"Anyone who can become a prince is not a fool. Chang Shiro directly defeated the emperor. Have you ever seen, my lord, any of the border generals who said they wanted to rebel?"
"No." Xu Mu shook his head.
"That's it. Without the young marquis, Yuan An's suspicious and fearful temper will not be able to secure his position. He was originally a mediocre person, which is not a pity. It is a pity that the young marquis's attitude of saving the country
After all, hot blood cannot support the entire country."
Xu Mu was silent.
In a daze, Sheng Xue, dressed in white, appeared again, sitting in front of him, looking worried while making fragrant tea for him.
Gu Ying, who was standing aside, holding a stove, also gave him an honest smile.
