Chapter 1956: Set policy, attack from north and south
Wang Chang looked down at herself in surprise. She couldn't be described as thin, but rather strong. Even she herself didn't dare to recall how she had gone from being a naval captain who was just waiting for death to where she is today.
Up.
"I have been sailing through the storm, and my body is strong, but I have lost a lot of fat compared to the past. On the contrary, when I look at your majesty, my face is a little bad. Your majesty's dragon body is related to the country, so please pay more attention to your majesty." Wang Chang said hurriedly,
He had to prove to Li Xingchen that he was worthy. Otherwise, if His Majesty used this as an excuse to not allow him to personally command the troops, then he might as well not have done this!
Li Xingchen coughed. Of course he was embarrassed to say that it was because his daughter was punished by several aunts for copying last night because she was not good at her endorsement. He couldn't bear to accompany her and ended up sleeping late.
Next to him, Bao Xing hurriedly smoothed things over for his majesty: "Since the beginning of spring, there have been many memorials and state affairs are busy. Your majesty is temporarily tired. It is the fault of his ministers. After the spring plowing, the number of matters should be reduced. General Henghai, please rest assured."
Wang Chang had been out in town for a long time, so he naturally had no good impression of the civil servants. At this time, he glanced at Bao Xing, and the meaning was obvious. You civil servants had better work more for His Majesty. If His Majesty is really tired, we, the important ministers of Yuan Cong, can't
None of them are just eating dry food!
Bao Xing immediately grimaced and did not dare to say anything. If he had known better, he would not have explained it to His Majesty.
As if they had noticed something, several civil servants who had been standing nearby to watch the excitement came forward slightly at this time, as if they wanted to support Bao Xing. The generals naturally noticed something, and at the same time they also approached Wang Chang.
Move your steps, if you really want to take action, will the generals still be afraid of you civil servants?
Of course, Li Xingchen was aware of the subtle changes below. The conflict between civil and military forces has always been a conflict created by Li Xingchen on his own initiative. Now, if they disagree, both sides will go to the opposite side. This is not what Li Xingchen wants to see.
He coughed lightly and said, "The purpose of summoning Wang Aiqing to Luo this time is to discuss the Northern Expedition."
When Li Xingchen opened his mouth, everyone naturally no longer dared to show obvious hostility to each other. Externally, the Han Dynasty has always been consistent internally.
Then Li Xingchen looked at Pei Zilie. Xiao Shilian was ordered to inspect the various soldiers and horses along the river. He has not returned yet. Pei Zilie is the only highest representative of the military. Now that the Taiwei Mansion and the military have finally finalized the battle plan, of course Pei Zilie needs to report it.
.
Pei Zilie said directly: "The tentative plan is to launch attacks from Chenliu and Luoyang to Jizhou and Hanoi respectively as the main attack, and at the same time launch feint attacks in Pingcheng and Hedong directions. In addition, the navy needs to be in the north
Go from Youzhou to the coast of Jizhou to select a suitable landing site, outflank the back roads of Yecheng, and form a north-south pincer attack with our frontal attacking army to cut off any possibility of the enemy escaping northward from Yecheng."
The combat plan in the direction of the Army Division had been drawn up long ago, and the various departments of the Army Division did not have many opinions on it. After all, this was a plan that had been weighed by all parties.
The main force this time is actually the armies coming from the south, such as the Yangwu Army, the Zhenyue Army, the Yingyang Army, etc. However, the Tiger Wing Army who supplemented its forces from Guanzhong also has the opportunity to participate in this war.
The soldiers and horses from the north such as the Gong Han Army in Hedong can only be used as a feint attack. However, these newly formed troops were given the task of attacking Hedong before, which was already considered a trust of the imperial court. Including Yang Su and Li Xun,
There is not much objection to this. First of all, they have already gained a lot, and secondly, Li Xingchen may have given them a more exciting future. In the future, they will be indispensable for the northerners when they go north to the grassland and west to Yangguan.
It is obviously more suitable for the northern children who are taller and taller to go north to the grasslands and go deep into the Western Regions to fight against the tall grassland tribes and various tribes in the Western Regions.
The world in the future is still vast, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to explore and explore. There is no need to stick to the land of Kyushu in the Central Plains.
The only aspect of the plan that has not yet been completely determined is the naval issue.
The generals of the Army Division have basically never examined the Navy's combat methods, so they don't know how many people the Navy can send out, and how capable the Marine Corps is. If it can be the same as the Army Division, then they can still rely on it.
But if it’s just a bunch of guys who can only jump around on the boat, then it’s really not enough to go ashore.
It's not surprising that the generals of the land army had such thoughts. This kind of situation happened frequently in history. The most famous one is naturally the dignified "Sun Shiwan". After the 100,000 Soochow navy came ashore, they were able to kill everything. Of course, Sun Quan himself
The ability to command troops is questionable, and the Soochow Navy's combat capabilities after landing ashore are also questionable.
Li Xingchen looked at Wang Chang: "What is the navy's plan?"
Wang Chang said immediately: "The Navy has sent people along the coastline to inspect suitable landing sites, and many have been found so far."
As he spoke, Wang Chang walked towards the map, stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "Your Majesty, please see, across the river from Qingzhou, to the north are Leling County, Fuyang County, Bohai County and Yuyang County all the way to the north.
.”
Li Xingchen looked at the map. The state capitals from Leling County to Bohai County were densely packed, forming the eastern defense line of Ye City. This was also the planned attack direction of the Qingzhou Han Army. Wu Huijue would lead his army north across the river to directly attack Leling and break through Ye City.
After the prefecture capital in the eastern part of the city, they went all the way to the west, and formed a pincer attack on Yecheng with the Han army coming from the direction of Luoyang and Chenliu.
However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had stationed heavy troops in this area, and Wu Huijue was still responsible for maintaining the stability of Qingzhou and building an important maritime port, so the troops and horses along this route were just a feint attack at best, and Li Jinchen did not expect them to break through quickly.
The Northern Zhou army blocked it.
It is indeed a good choice to send the navy to land from the north of Leling and form a pincer attack with the main force of Qingzhou on the enemy's eastern defense line, but it is somewhat wasteful. It is better to let the navy go to the sea for a lap.
Cooperate with the landing division to launch attacks from the sea and the land front at the same time.
It's not troublesome enough.
However, after passing Bohae County and continuing north, the coast is basically deserted tidal flats, and there are no towns until inland. After all, in this era, this land is still in the stage of slowly extending and accumulating toward the ocean. Along the coast
Most of them are saline-alkali lands and tidal flats swamps eroded by the sea, which are not suitable for human habitation and farming, so there are naturally no human habitations.
If you want to find a larger coastal town, you have to go all the way north to Yuyang County, which is the center of Youzhou and the rear area where Yu Wenxian is now fully operating. Food, smelting, etc. are all located here.
Relying on the protection of the Great Wall and the Taihang Mountains, neither the Han army in Pingcheng nor the Xueyantuo people on the northern grasslands could threaten the land that seemed to be just around the corner.
