If the navy can land from Yuyang County, then the Han army in Heping City can cooperate with each other to defeat Dugu Yongye, a cautious and cunning little fox.
But if you do this, it means that the Marine Corps can only complete the task of cutting off Yu Wenxian's retreat. If you want to go south to attack Yecheng, don't think too much about such a long journey. When the Marine Corps kills it all the way, you still don't know Ye City.
Has the city changed its owner?
Li Xingchen saw the hesitation in Wang Chang's eyes.
Obviously, in terms of the size of the results, Yuyang County and the entire Youzhou are very attractive, but in terms of whether the results are significant, Yecheng is naturally more eye-catching.
Wang Chang didn't know what to choose for a while.
"Let's land from Youzhou." Li Xingchen said.
Wang Chang was startled for a moment: "Your Majesty..."
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pointed at the map: "I don't need you to attack the entire Youzhou. Now Dugu Yongye is leading his army to settle in Juyong. The purpose is to rely on the Great Wall to block the Xue Yantuo people in the north and our army in Pingcheng in the west. Therefore, he has the most empty position.
It’s the coastline behind us. If the navy can penetrate the enemy’s back like a sharp blade, I don’t believe that Dugu Yongye still has the power to save his life!”
Pei Zilie and others also nodded in agreement.
For the Army Division, it was indeed a good thing that the Navy ran over to help Han Qinhu in Pingcheng and the others to deal with Dugu Yongye lying on the flank in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Han Qinhu, who had been sharpening his sword at Yanmen Pass and Jinyang City, would always be unhappy.
Dare to send troops southward, which will make it difficult for the Han army in the east of the river to fight alone. It will be dangerous if the army goes northward alone.
In addition, the navy went to Youzhou, what does that mean? It means that no one can compete with them to take the credit for taking Yecheng.
In the view of the army division, it is simply abominable that the navy, instead of wandering around the sea properly, would go to land to grab credit.
Li Xingchen's next words disappointed many of the surrounding army generals.
"The task of capturing Youzhou can be left to Han Qinhu to divert troops all the way. Although the navy has landed from Yuyang County, it is not impossible to participate in the battle of Yecheng." Li Xingchen said directly.
Pei Zilie frowned and said, "But the road from Yuyang County to Yecheng is long, and there are many Jizhou prefectures along the way. I'm afraid..."
How many people are there in the Marine Corps? Even if Pei Zilie is impartial, he doesn't think it is a good choice for the Marine Corps to turn south from Yuyang County.
"Although there are many state capitals, the Zhou people did not have heavy military guards along the way. Moreover, the Jizhou family had been oppressed and plundered by Yu Wenxian in the past few days, which showed that they wanted to support the Han to unify the north." Li Xingchen said, holding his hand
Swipe down on the map, "From Yuyang County all the way south to Yecheng, this can be a broad road!"
Everyone looked over with different expressions.
Indeed, this is a road that no one can actually stop the Han army. The old and weak rural soldiers stationed in various state capitals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty are really not qualified, not to mention that Yu Wenxian had previously tried to revitalize the economy in the short term.
, to make up for the losses caused by the war, and suppressed the Jizhou family too much. As a result, the Jizhou family is now really "everyone is in danger", fearing that one day what Yu Wenxian wants is not money but life.
In contrast, although Li Xingchen also wanted money from aristocratic families, and even the fields of aristocratic families, at least Li Xingchen was a "gentleman who loves money and gets it in a wise way". He did not clean up everything at once like Yu Wenxian.
Whichever is easier, the aristocratic families would rather choose to become ordinary obedient citizens under the Han Dynasty, and at least be able to maintain a certain reputation and influence in the local area, than to be frightened under the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and become lonely ghosts one day if they can't protect themselves.
If the Han army can contact the local aristocratic families through the white robes to gain their support, then this matter will naturally be easier to handle. By then, the Han army will likely face an unobstructed situation all the way from Yuyang.
"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible." Wang Chang said, cupping his hands.
For the Marine Corps, what they long for now is an opportunity to show their face. Otherwise, the Marine Corps will have no way to prove the significance of its existence. As for which direction to launch the attack from, Wang Chang made it clear that he would fight for it if he could.
The attitude that you can’t fight for it and have no solution.
Now Li Xingchen not only gave him the task of attacking Youzhou, but also the Marine Corps was involved in the task of attacking Yecheng. Naturally, Wang Chang was very happy. Although it was just a matter of time to go south from Yuyang County.
The remaining work is to clean up the outer battlefield, but it is better to be able to participate in it than to just play soy sauce.
Since Li Xingchen has said this, and the supply and logistics between the Navy and the Army Division are not originally a system, the Navy has its own system, so the Navy's desire to carry out an expedition actually has nothing to do with the Army Division.
Pei Zilie and others couldn't say anything even if they wanted to.
Naturally, this matter has been decided in this way.
Looking at Wang Chang, who was obviously beaming with joy, Li Xingchen also knew that the navy, which once crossed the rivers and seas and was the first-class main force of the Han Dynasty, had almost no chance to participate in important domestic wars in recent years. The last war involving the navy was in southern Xinjiang.
during the war.
The navy needs real wars to sharpen it, otherwise it will be completely reduced to an army that deals with pirates and even indigenous people, especially the Marine Corps. In the future, Li Xingchen will still count on the Marine Corps and the Navy to cooperate with each other to complete the conquest of all corners of the world.
, now we can't just lie on the beach and bask in the sun, like a salted fish.
Especially after crossing the ocean, there is no need to count on the land divisions who cannot get on the ship. When the time comes to expand territory or conduct campaigns, we will have to rely on the Marine Corps.
These guys have worked hard to train, but they can't just let it go.
Now that His Majesty has made a decision, and no one can find anything wrong with it, the matter will naturally end here, and all the officials will retire one after another.
Pei Zilie seemed to be thinking about something and silently walked down the steps.
Pei Zilie was startled for a moment, but Zhang Xutuo had already stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The important matters discussed by the court today involving the Northern Expedition still need to be written down in detail in the plan?"
The navy's landing from Youzhou was, after all, the Han's trump card. If it were written down in the plan, there would be a risk of it being leaked, so Zhang Xutuo was very cautious.
Pei Zilie pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Write it down, but all plans must be strictly protected and must not be leaked, otherwise, the Northern Expedition will be even more difficult."
Zhang Xutuo nodded: "Another subordinate would like to ask the general, how important is the navy to our great man?"
Pei Zilie looked at him, and Zhang Xutuo explained: "Today in the court, His Majesty is planning everything for the navy, and his support is self-evident. However, the success of pacifying the north now belongs to the army. In the future, it will go deep into the Western Regions."
, we should also rely on Master Lu, is there something wrong with this?"
