Chapter 597 This strategy is not about one place, but the whole.
Chapter 597
After that, Li Jing will rotate with Xu Shiji, who will be stationed in Luokou Cangcheng.
Lai Zheng led 20,000 elite troops and boarded boats quietly through Xingyang County. After entering the Yellow River in batches, they entered the Yongji Canal.
"My lord, I think something is wrong. Although the main force of the Wagangzhai army is now gathered in the north of Luoyang, there are at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Hanoi County and Shangdang County on the north bank of the Yellow River."
"If the general comes to go deep into the army alone and something is not kept secret, then this large army will definitely become a turtle in a urn." Shen Guang stood up and spoke loudly.
Although he was a fierce general, he was not without any plans or wisdom, otherwise he would not have become the commander-in-chief of the envoy camp, so the two fierce generals Qian Jie and Mai Mengcai obeyed his orders.
Xu Shiji nodded confidently and calmly towards Shen Guang and smiled.
"General Shen's idea is reasonable, but it is only possible when there is a lack of personnel to respond and there is no information about the enemy's territory."
"However, our army is different. We have a large number of internal agents in Hanoi County. We even have an elite with combat effectiveness."
"???" Not only Shen Guang, but also many civil and military personnel who had not participated in the staff department had question marks on their heads.
Looking at these colleagues who looked confused, a sense of superiority suddenly emerged from the bottom of Xu Shiji's heart.
"Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you know that we have arrangements in Hanoi County."
Changsun Wuji stroked his goatee and nodded enigmatically. "As long as the army can enter Hanoi County and occupy a few cities.
It can disrupt the retreat of the Wagangzhai army, and even cut off the main force of the Wagangzhai army from several counties on the north bank of the Yellow River that are controlled by the Wagangzhai soldiers and horses in the near future."
"The soldiers and horses of Wagangzhai have lost their largest source of troops and supplies."
"In addition, it can open up the connection with Taiyuan County and connect the control areas of our Zhenfu Army."
As a result, Dou Jiande's dream of blocking the banks of the Yellow River to block the Fu army's northward advance became an illusion.
After the connection with Taiyuan County was established, Zheng Guogong Yang Ning's troops in Shanxi were able to receive strong support from the main force of the Suppression and Fu Army.
Not only does it help Zheng Guogong control the entire Shanxi area, but it also allows the main force of the Suppressing Army to smoothly send reinforcements and troops to the Saibei area if something happens.

Li Yuan looked impressed, but also a little worried.
"Wonderful, this strategy is not for one place, but for the overall situation. However, if this strategy is successful, then I will become the enemy of all the heroes in the world to suppress the Fu army."
"Now that the situation has been established, it will only be a matter of time before you become the enemy of all the heroes in the world." Yu Shiji said with a smile, stroking his beard.
However, after Xu Shiji arrived, he would not be responsible for presiding over the Hanoi County offensive this time. Instead, he would take over Li Jing's position and switch to the defense of Luokou Cangcheng.
The reason for this is of course not because Li Jing is Yang Qian's uncle, but because at the beginning, Yang Qian was still in Jiangdu and was organizing his army for the Northern Expedition.
Li Jing had already sent a letter and proposed such a strategic concept.
In his opinion, Dou Jiande, who has captured the entire territory of Hebei, has a large number of troops, and is quite popular in Hebei, will become a powerful enemy of the Zhenfu Army to dominate the world.
Under such circumstances, rather than confronting the enemy head-on along the Yellow River, or sending a partial force to land from the sea, it would be a bad idea.
It is tantamount to narrowing Zhenfujun's own vision. In this case, why not take a step back?
With the main force of containing Dou Jiande as a supplement, and the strategic focus of conquering both sides of the Yellow River in the Central Plains, we can also take advantage of the situation to open up connections with Yang Ning's tribe, which now controls most of Shanxi.
In this way, the power of the Suppression and Fu Army has completely opened up the situation and can be calmly deployed on various battlefields.
After receiving Li Jing's suggestion, Yang Qian ordered a group of generals on the staff to conduct repeated deductions and discussions in detail.
The conclusion reached was almost the same as what Li Jing said. This strategy made all the staff generals have to admit that Li Jing, who was far away from the Eastern Capital and was responsible for resisting the main force of the Waganzhai Army.
That he still has the energy to think and plan such a strategy shows his military strategy and vision.
Therefore, in the end, Yang Qian decided to hand over the leadership of the Hanoi offensive to Li Jing, which did not attract the opposition of many proud soldiers around him.
After all, Li Jing's military talent has long been demonstrated in the Zhenfu Army. Even Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji, who now hold higher positions in the Zhenfu Army, admire Li Jing very much.
After intense discussions, opinions were finally unified and the strategy was unanimously adopted.
However, what Yang Qian didn't expect was that his wife was very unhappy.
Li Xiuning came here not only to accompany her husband, but also because she wanted to show her majesty on the battlefield.
But I didn't expect that my young man would actually become a bait and stay here, staring at Dou Jiande's army on the other side of the Yellow River.
Fortunately, Yang Qian was also aware of this problem, so the day after Xu Shiji led his army to leave, he accompanied his wife on a hunting trip, which finally relieved her inner depression.

"As expected, Madam's archery skills are superb. The fact that she is able to return home with a full load today is really her fault..."
Yang Qian rode his horse beside the high-spirited Li Xiuning, bragging about his wife shamelessly.
He completely ignored the group of singles behind him who had goosebumps all over their bodies and looked like they would rather die.
Zhili, Duan Shizi, Li Shimin, and Su Dingfang, these four outstanding young talents, are also young men who have not yet married a beautiful lady (doubtful).
Although they were resentful of His Highness the Prince of Tang's shamelessness, which made them feel uncomfortable all over, due to their status as personal soldiers and generals, they could only continue to crowd around him with dark faces.
It's just that Li Shimin couldn't bear to listen anymore, so he couldn't help but complain because of his status as brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, are you sorry for saying this? Are the ones we shot not prey?"
"Are you guys as good at archery as your sister?" Yang Qian laughed, his expression became serious, and he pointed his thumb in the direction of his wife.
"...No." Li Shimin thought he didn't have the guts to provoke. "But that's not what I asked."
"I said, Li Er, please be more careful..." Yang Qian shook his head helplessly, clapped his horse and galloped a few steps to the side, approached Li Shimin and lowered his voice.
"Don't you think your sister is very happy today?"
"Well, my sister is very happy today."
"how about you?"
"Me? Just so so."
"Then it's over. Your sister is my wife. My responsibility is to make her happy when she is unhappy, but I have no obligation to make you happy."
Yang Qian slapped Li Shimin on the shoulder with a big slap, and nodded towards Li Shimin with an expression of concern for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
