"I just swallowed Duji Province last year, and this year I started to attack Jiangnan Dongdao again. If we don't think of some solutions, when Li You dealt with King Yue, Xu Shiyong, it will be our turn sooner or later." In the Shu Palace, Prime Minister Su Zican said anxiously. He had just received the news that Li You's army was going to fight and summoned the ministers to discuss a solution.

"At the time when Yalehan's army was annihilated, Gyeonggi Province was empty, but Luo Zhaoyuan and Gao Yan stopped fighting, resulting in delaying the opportunity to fight, and should be severely punished." Su Shaoyou said angrily as soon as he finished speaking. This seemed to be the practice of the Great Wei for many years. Once the war was slightly unfavorable, the responsibility would be thrown on the heads of the leading generals.

"Although General Luo has 30,000 troops, the supply of food and grass in the rear is not smooth, and the soldiers are not even full of food. How can they fight? Even so, General Luo still took over the two states and greatly increased our morale. If it were changed to Minister Su, I would probably not even be able to save the existing prefectures and counties, right?" Luo Zhaoyuan, who led the troops north, was not without a backstage in the court. In addition, he had indeed taken advantage of the emptiness of Gyeonggi Province before, so Luo Zhaomu, the Minister of War, defended him and made a sense.

"Okay!" Seeing that Su Shaoyou was still trying to distinguish, Su Zican spoke out to stop him. The Luo family was a wealthy family in Shu, so it was not appropriate to offend him too much. "Now we are discussing how to deal with Li You's attack on Jiangnan Dongdao. There is no need to say anything else. I'd better think about what is a good idea."

"Dogi Province has recently added 20,000 troops, which are stuck between Gyeonggi Province and Henan Province. Gyeonggi Province has also added tens of thousands of Beilu cavalry. Now this place is already tense. If we have any abnormal movements, we may become the target of public criticism." Luo Zhaomu glanced at Su Shaoyou disdainfully and said.

"Although Gyeonggi Province is mixed, Gyeongnam West Road is extremely empty. Li You's army is sent to the east to attack Gyeongnam East Road. We can go out from Qianzhong Road and head straight to Jiazhou, so they have to return to the army to rescue." Su Shaoyou was so excited that his mind was a little hot. He took a few glances on the map and realized a good idea.

"Qianzhong Road?" Luo Zhaomu snorted coldly, complaining in his heart. He was really a fool who talked about war on paper. He pointed his fingers on Qianzhong Road and asked, "Does Mr. Su know how many soldiers and horses there are in Qianzhong Road? Which road should I take to attack Jiangnan West Road from Qianzhong Road? How many cars and horses do I want to accompany me?"

"This" Su Shaoyou was suddenly stuck. He either traveled around the mountains and rivers or recited poems with scholars. How could he know these things? He immediately retorted, "This is your Ministry of War, what does it have to do with me?"

"Qianzhong Road is a place with poor mountains and rivers. The mountain roads are steep and miasma are everywhere. Only more than 10,000 prefecture troops are guarding against the local barbarians. If you want to attack Jiangnan West Road, you must transfer troops from Shannan West Road. However, from Shannan West Road to enter Qianzhong Road and then attack Jiangnan West Road, you need to cross mountains and ridges. Moreover, the soldiers and horses on Shannan West Road are not convinced of the water and soil of Qianzhong Road. Even if there are 50,000 troops going to fight, it would be better to have the remaining 20,000 troops entering Jiangnan West Road in the end. How can this force fight with Xu Guang, who is stationed in Jiazhou?"

Luo Zhaomu approved Su Shaoyou's plan to be useless, but he couldn't come up with any good solutions in the face of the current situation. After arguing, he had to come up with a strategy to let Luo Zhaoyuan and Gao Yan, who were stationed in Gyeonggi Province, act according to the opportunity.

Henan Road, Yuan Zhang's national troupe mansion, gathered together with many staff members. After more than half a year, most of the aristocratic families in Henan Road have been uprooted by him. The rebels hid in the mountains under the attack of elite troops. They thought that they could completely turn Henan Road into their own place in another year, but they did not expect to receive such news.

"The Jiangnan East Road has always been rich, and the navy is strong. If it is swallowed by Li You, it will definitely increase its strength. We will definitely not let him do it." Chen Jing'an said with a frown.

"Now I'm afraid it's time to gather troops from all over the country to go south. Although Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and others are also enemies of my Dayuan, they can't be swallowed by Li You now." After he persuaded Qi Huizhi, he did not cause any trouble for Jiazhou. Li You took the opportunity to clear his enemies in the court. After this matter, Yuwen Yisheng spoke more cautiously, but at such a critical moment, he did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately made his own suggestions.

"You can't transfer all the troops back, otherwise the hard work of the past six months will be in vain." If the army retreated, the rebels who had penetrated into the mountains would definitely come out to occupy the prefectures and counties immediately. Yuan Zhang would definitely not allow such a situation. "I will give Your Majesty a memorial to ask Your Majesty to mobilize the army from Longcheng to go south, and attack Duji from the capital to see if Luo Shiji can stop it."

Just as Yuan Zhang's envoy rushed to Longcheng with a whip, Shi Huaiyi, who had been in Qingyun Village for more than half a year, was standing on a big rock in the valley, watching Yang Wu train the rebels ahead. After such a long period of training, these rebels had become quite good. According to Shi Huaiyi's estimate, these soldiers would definitely not be weaker than the regiment training they trained in the past. Even if they met the cavalry of the Northern Lu, they could still use the terrain of the mountains to deal with one or two.

"The military advisor is indeed powerful. I think these guys are even more powerful than the imperial guards back then." The leader of the village Xue Kun stood beside him and praised with satisfaction. He knew that it was a chaotic time. It was more important than anything else to hold a strong army in his hand. Since Shi Huaiyi came, his troops under him have been several times stronger than before. He has successively annexed several surrounding villages. He has become the most powerful force in a radius of hundreds of miles. In the future, no matter which side he invests, he can sell it at a good price.

While talking, the three village leaders Qi Yunhai came over happily, "Brother, military advisor, the caravan of the Wang family has arrived and has brought a lot of good wine. We must have a good drink today."

Their daily robbery income was exchanged for food and weapons through the hands of the Wang family who stayed in Henan Road. Otherwise, Shi Huaiyi's ability alone would not have allowed them to grow so quickly.

"It just so happens that I'm going to see if the book they promised last time was sent to me." The caravan also shouldered the heavy responsibility of communicating with Shi Huaiyi. Shi Huaiyi found an excuse and left the valley quietly.

He came to the gate of the village at the entrance of the valley, pretended to select goods, and after a while he was rubbing, he threw down a few pieces of silver, and returned to the room with the book and pen he bought. He saw that no one was careful to open the fine pieces in the caravan that had been stuffed into his palm.
