I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 188 The Alliance Under the City
You Xingye led the soldiers into the city, found a private house and asked, "Is there any big move in the court, otherwise why would you send troops at this time?"

It has been half a year since the army went out to attack the Wu army, and then the other two armies had already ended their battles, leaving only the North Army to continue to attack Xuzhou. As a general, I naturally hope that there will be wars, otherwise how to gain military merit, but the soldiers are already exhausted after repeated battles Unbearable, can't hold on at all.

Fan Guangyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of War who had already sent the order before the soldiers came, explained: "The King of Qin has defeated Qi Qian, the King of Wei, and has proclaimed himself emperor. His Majesty and all the officials in the court judged that it would take time for Qin to clean up the remaining troops of the King of Wei, so they planned to take the opportunity to take Go down to Xuzhou to prepare for the future Northern Expedition. By the way, His Majesty also has a military order in Liangzhou, changing Li Yu, the general who conquered the north, to attack Liangzhou as the general who conquered the west."

The entire map of the world is printed in You Xingye's mind. He naturally understands the importance of Xuzhou. First, it can be used as a barrier for Jinling. When Xuzhou borders Yuzhou, occupying Xuzhou can directly threaten the Eastern Capital. Taking advantage of Qin's stable situation, it is indeed true to take down Xuzhou is the best chance.

Li Yu changed from conquering the north to conquering the west, and the difference in one word means a very different meaning. This is changing from conquering Yongzhou to occupying Liangzhou. This is to occupy as much territory as possible while the north is not stable.

After figuring it out, You Xingye no longer had any doubts. At this time, it is better to recruit teachers again than to spend more lives to attack Xuzhou in the future.

The messenger looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty also said that the northern immortals are busy stabilizing the realm and have no time to care about humanity. It is time to attack Xuzhou."

"I understand this matter, does the imperial court have other reinforcements?"

You Xingye is the reincarnation of a god general, so he is naturally aware of the competition between the gods and gods. On the surface, it is between Ming and Qin for the world, but in fact it is Shinto and Immortal fighting for world control. He will become a member of Shinto after his death, so he naturally knows the importance.

"His Majesty mobilized the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit armies to go north to support them, and ordered the Navy Yinglong Army to support them from the side, and they were also under the unified command of the general."

You Xingye said in a deep voice: "Okay, without delay, I will immediately arrange for the army to go out, just to catch the Huai army by surprise."

Now that His Majesty has decided, he only needs to consider how to occupy Xuzhou as quickly as possible. As for how His Majesty considers it is not theirs to discuss, the sooner the Northern Expedition is naturally the better.

The messenger finished his mission and left without staying in the city and returned directly to Jinling.

In the Daming Palace, a side hall of Chengqian Palace was rebuilt separately to handle military aircraft. Li Qing set up a Military Aircraft Department based on the previous Military Aircraft Department system, but the former Military Aircraft Minister was in charge of all important military and political affairs, while the Military Aircraft Department here only handles military affairs. .

At this time, Li Qing was calling a group of ministers to discuss the strategic layout of attacking Xuzhou and Liangzhou.

Most of the ministers who can enter the military aircraft department are cabinet bachelors, and occasionally six ministers participate, but this is not the case.

At this time, Chen Qing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fan Guangyuan, the governor of the five armies and the minister of the military department, Wang Zheng, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the minister of the household department, Lu Yan, the head of the Daolu department and the great mage of Qingyang Taoist palace, and the commander of Jin Yiwei Let Tian Boyuan and Jin Yiwei know Zhu Qiu together.

At present, several people are related to the military situation. The first assistant Chen Qing is the representative of civil servants, the governor Fan Guangyuan is the representative of the army, the minister of household affairs Wang Zheng is related to the logistics supply, Lu Yan is the representative of the immortal forces, Jin Yiwei is in charge of the military situation, and Zhu Qiu It is a simple counselor.

It is a common practice for the Military Aircraft Division to be held by these six people plus Li Qing. From now on, the Military Aircraft Division will discuss the matters of Ming Dynasty's internal and external wars, and then send them to the Sixth Division and other armies for implementation. This saves a lot of intermediate links and makes it more efficient.

In the main hall, a huge sand table was set up in the style of a military tent, on which the various forces were marked with flags of various colors. The Ming Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty occupied more than [-]% of the area on the map, and the ruled areas were intertwined. Eye-catching.

"There are five counties and 62 counties in Xuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. It has been a rich land since ancient times. It is not much better than Yizhou. Its strategic location is extremely special. Whoever occupies Xuzhou from the north and the south will have an advantage in the future decisive battle. At present, we have occupied all the southern regions. If you can take down the northern counties, it will be like a sharp knife piercing the hinterland of Qin."

Zhu Qiu pointed out the current situation and strategic position of Xuzhou with a stern face. Everyone has long been accustomed to the harsh words in his words and didn't take it seriously.

"When attacking Xuzhou from Huainan, we must first conquer Pi County, and then the Jinwu and Yutu armies will attack Guangling County, and then join You Xingye to attack Xuzhou. This is the regular marching route."

Fan Guangyuan said with a half-smile: "Then tell me about your unconventional strategy as soon as possible."

Looking at Fan Guangyuan's expression, Zhu Qiu's heart tightened. Fan Guangyuan was no less than him in terms of strategy, and he was the leader of all generals in leading troops in battle, so he didn't dare to continue to show off.

Swiping his finger to the top of Donghai County, he said: "Seventy-eight out of ten of the world's naval forces are in my Ming Dynasty. The newly built sea ships are more resistant to waves. It is absolutely possible to send out a surprise army to come ashore from Donghai County. If you can take Donghai County, you can fight with me." Xiapi County and Guangling County besieged Xuzhou in three directions."

Li Qing couldn't help nodding his head, so Duke Huai had only two options left, one was to retreat to Langya County, the other was to surrender to Qin, neither of which was acceptable to a hero like Zhang Wushang.

"Then adopt this plan and notify the three armies of Jinwu, Yutu, and Yinglong, and the household department must prepare food and grass for the three armies to go out as soon as possible."

Wang Zheng smiled wryly and nodded. Although he had recuperated for three years after taking down Jingzhou, he first attacked Yangzhou, and now he wants to attack Xuzhou and Liangzhou at the same time. Minister of the Ministry.

The north is the battlefield for hegemony, the people have no rations to survive, the Qin army has been fighting, the Minister of the Qin State Household Department is probably much more difficult than him, thinking of his colleague feels much better.

Xiapi County, since the Ming army attacked Huainan, King Huai ordered the army to support it, and Xiapi County, as the county closest to the front line, has become a gathering place for rear supplies. With the news of the defeat in the front line, the generals of the Huai army were covered with a mask. layer shadows.

The situation in the world became more and more clear. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Huai had no chance to win the world.

Just as the Huai army guarding the city gate was lazily guarding the city gate, a cavalry force of 5000 men suddenly reappeared from outside the city and was approaching the city wall with thunderous momentum. .

Misfortunes never come singly. Suddenly, rioters in the city rushed into the city gate to prevent the city gate from closing. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the army from outside the city successfully rushed into the city, and the city gate quickly fell.

The general who defended the city seemed to be relieved at this moment, and directly ordered the defenders to surrender, and helped the Ming army to stabilize the situation in the city. There is no way out to follow King Huai, why not switch to the stronger Ming country, the Ming emperor's generals are famous Tolerance, who doesn't want to win a wife and son.

Most of Duke Huai's subordinates had the same thoughts, and You Xingye's army had hardly met decent resistance, and most of them surrendered because of the wind, and the situation of Duke Huai was over.

When You Xingye arrived near Xuzhou, the envoy of King Huai asked to see him directly under the envoy's banner, which surprised You Xingye.

King Huai started his business as a smuggler of salt, he is bold and strong, and it is reasonable to say that he would not surrender without a fight. No matter what, You Xingye ordered someone to entertain the envoy, and then received the envoy of King Huai to see what the other party was thinking.
