Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 644

Wei Rui, Lu Xun, and Xie Xuan were all famous generals who defected to Daxia on the eve of the founding of the country.

In the past half a year, in addition to helping Daxia train elite soldiers, they often took soldiers and horses to Lujiang Province, Zhenjiang and Jiangdong Provinces to suppress bandits.

Countless bandits and water thieves, as well as those local tyrants who gathered tens of thousands of people to build Wubao, refused to accept Daxia's system of prefectures, counties and countryside, and imperial power going to the countryside.Swept away by them, the three major provinces that had just integrated into the Great Xia were wiped clean of filth and stubborn illnesses.

This is also the biggest reason why the three major provinces quickly restored people's livelihood and prospered under the governance of the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Without the gentry and local tyrants entrenched in the local area, the government's government orders at all levels can reach the top and bottom.The entire seven major provinces of the dynasty have condensed into one force, an momentum to grow up and strengthen the dynasty!
Although their contributions are not great each time,
But combined with the contribution of military training, it is enough for them to gain a firm foothold in the Great Xia Army and to be recognized by many generals.

With this premise, Wang Jing quickly promoted them.Of course, this is also closely related to their ninth-level strength and great reputation.

Wang Jing's promotion of these well-known generals will not arouse anyone's jealousy or dissatisfaction.

At this time, they were all given the positions of miscellaneous generals, and they were able to join the Xiaochaohui, the core of the Great Xia Dynasty, which was enough to prove that Wang Jing valued them.

The three of Wei Rui also knew that Wang Jing valued them being able to participate in the core discussions of Daxia, and their expressions became more serious.

"Everyone who can come is here, sit down!"

The room where the small court meeting was held, in the study room of the side hall of Qinzheng Hall,

The area is not large. In addition to the chairs and desk at the top, there are also two rows of chairs on both sides of the desk.

The serving eunuch saw that there were not enough chairs, so he quietly brought some chairs up.Let everyone sit down this time.

Except for Wei Rui, Lu Xun, and Xie Xuan who just attended this small court meeting, who were not familiar with it, the other important ministers of the six central departments often participated and were already very familiar with it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone knew Wang Jing's character, and they were not polite, and they all sat down after bowing their hands and saluting.

"Now is the first court meeting in the sixth year of Taichu. According to the previous rules, this time we will decide the important things to be done in the sixth year of Taichu. It can be regarded as preparation for the civil affairs and military affairs of this year! Especially those related to the future of Great Xia. I want to hear your opinions on strategic matters!"

Wang Jing said slowly.

The meeting at the beginning of the year was to formulate a strategic direction and general goals for the year.

For example, how many new farmlands will be reclaimed this year, how many refugees will be recruited, and how many weapons and warships will be built...

And after sending troops south this year, what is the strategic goal to be achieved, and to what extent...

These all require careful calculation by everyone.

As a veteran official of Yuan Cong, Shen Yi's qualifications and status rank first among all the people.

He was the first to speak and said, "Your Majesty, the two major provinces of Zhenjiang and Jiangdong have been initially digested by us. The next step is naturally to send troops to attack Jinling!"

"If you send troops, the minister, the central government, and the colleagues of the six departments will definitely go all out to mobilize food, grass and equipment to supply the army... In addition, I suggest that your majesty assign inspectors and censors to inspect various local prefectures and counties, and select local officials together with the official department. Officials, big and small, prepare to digest Jiangnan!"

He had great confidence in Wang Jing.

At this time, he began to think about how to digest the cities, soldiers and civilians in Jinling, Jiangning and other places after defeating Ming Dynasty.

Regarding the matter of going south to attack Jinling, everyone basically agrees, and the time for dispatching troops has also been selected.

Now we only need to wait for the logistics to be guaranteed before we can start gathering troops.

Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, as long as Wang Jing and Daxia soldiers and horses perform normally and do not make unnecessary mistakes, they can steadily defeat the Jinling Ming army.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinling and famous officials and generals in the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou knew this.

There is no way, the Great Xia Dynasty has too much advantage at this time, and the terrain of Jinling is like a prominent place, surrounded by the Great Xia Dynasty on three sides. If it is not blocked by the Yangtze River, the Great Xia army has already gone south to capture Jinling.

The southern dynasties in history basically had their capital in Jinling, and they wanted to rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist the northern cavalry.

However, the so-called natural danger of the Yangtze River, which seems to be safe, is actually easy to break.Is the real defense of ten thousand pokes.

There is a saying that if you want to defend the Yangtze River, you must defend the Huaihe River. It means that if you want to defend the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, you must first defend the land of the Jianghuai River and use the land of the Jianghuai River as a buffer to resist the offensive from the north.

For example, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in the early Liu Song Dynasty, with the territory left by Liu Yu, the territory in the north of Liu Song was directly pushed to the Yellow River, which was only a little smaller than the territory in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But after Liu Yu's death, Liu Yilong bumped into Tuobatao, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Yuanjia's Northern Expedition was counterattacked by the opponent to the opposite bank of Jiankang, losing a large area of ​​territory. Later, Nanliang and Nanqi did not lose Jianghuai.

The reason why the three dynasties fell was because of civil strife, not by the strong enemy in the north.

And when Nanchen replaced Nanliang, the land of Jianghuai was lost. Not long after, the army from the north crossed the Yangtze River and destroyed Nanchen.

It can be seen that the buffer of the Jianghuai region is of great importance to the southern dynasty.

And now the Ming army.

On the other side of the Yangtze River is Yangzhou, the Jiangdu of the Great Xia Dynasty. There is no land in the Jianghuai area, except for the Yangtze River, which is known as a natural danger, there is almost no buffer.

And the Yangtze River, which is regarded as a natural danger, is also shared with Daxia.

The so-called natural danger has long since disappeared.

The sharp sword of the Great Xia Dynasty has already pointed at the vital points of the Ming army, and they can harvest the opponent just by launching an attack.

"Well, what Mr. Shen said is right. Before sending out troops, I want to hoard a batch of officials in advance... Enke was over when the country was founded, and it is not suitable to open Enke again. How about this? The Ministry of Officials and the Imperial College will count those who passed The talents of the college examination will select 1000 people and gather for training, specially training the affairs experience of the six Cao Caos in prefectures and counties!"

"When the army went south, they also set off with the army to receive the major cities in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Wang Jing said without much thought.

During the conversation between him and Shen Yi, the biggest event in the first six years had already been decided, and that was to send troops south to capture Jinling.
All other affairs must revolve around this strategic action.

After talking about some logistics support.

Gao Yan began to talk about the strategy of going south.

He said: "When I go south to the army, in addition to the logistics and food, we must pay more attention to the movements of the Southern Song Dynasty... After all, the strategy of our army going south is very obvious. We will launch all the way from the Zhenjiang camp to the west, and all the way through the Lujiang camp to attack Taiping. If you don’t want to sit still, you must unite with the Southern Song Dynasty!”

If the Southern Song Dynasty went northward with all its strength, Wang Jing's camp army in Jiangdong Province might not be able to resist it.

The Southern Song Dynasty was a dynasty at any rate, and there were still ninth-rank generals.

The combination of Murong Shaozong and Shi Wansui is not necessarily safe, it may overturn.

"Northern Song Dynasty united Jin to destroy Liao, and Southern Song Dynasty united Mongolia to destroy Jin. These are bloody lessons. The Southern Song Dynasty had famous officials such as Yu Yunwen, Zhao Ding, Li Gang, Li Guang, and Xin Qiji, and famous generals such as Han Shizhong, Meng Gong, and Lu Wende!"

"Going all the way to the north is no small matter, so this time going south, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions, our army should use another 50 troops, a thick main force, to cross the river from Jiangyin first, and support the two major camps of Zhenjiang and Jiangdong at any time, so as not to Give the enemy a chance to defeat each one!"

Gao Yan's plan was still unremarkable.

In fact, the more powerful the strategy is, the more prudent it must be, and all aspects must be considered.

Even in his plan, the number of soldiers and horses dispatched by Great Xia this time, plus the three major battalions, would surely exceed one million.

The army of more than 100 million is a bit of a replica of the Battle of Feishui.

but.Wang Jing is not Fu Jian, and there are many famous ministers and generals in Daxia. There will never be a situation like the former Qin army, where the forwards collapsed once they were defeated.

Gao Jin's strategic plan was set up in accordance with Wang Jing's style.

Wei Rui, Lu Xun, and Xie Xuan already knew Wang Jing's style of commanding troops. In the early days of Wang Jing's rise, he liked to use cavalry and a small number of elite troops to gallop to kill the enemy generals.

The style is fierce and domineering, as fast as thunder.

When Wang Jing's power was established and his soldiers were fine and food was sufficient, his style changed suddenly, and he liked to suppress the target with thick troops and abundant food and equipment.

Although Wang Jing's previous style was very attractive on the battlefield, it was not small, and he took certain risks every time. Once he lost, he would suffer heavy losses.

The later style is basically unbeatable!

Working step by step, relying on the advantages of more soldiers and more generals to continue to advance,

The enemy either used extremely thrilling tricks, or confronted Wang Jing, and was pushed by Wang Jing with his strong national power.

As long as it is not an epic fiasco that lost hundreds of thousands of elites at once, the defeats and losses in individual places are insignificant to the Great Xia Dynasty.

The worst result would be that the enemy forcibly confronted the Xia army and tied with the Xia army for a short time.

"Well, the Southern Song Dynasty really needs to pay more attention!"

"The envoy sent by the Ministry of Rites, what is the situation now? Did you say anything about the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Wang Jing's eyes flashed, and he looked at Pei Ju.

Although Wang Jing knew that the Southern Song Dynasty was likely to learn the lessons of history and it was difficult to choose an alliance with Daxia, Daxia still sent envoys to try to persuade the Southern Song Dynasty as much as possible.

In case, the Southern Song Dynasty had a brain twitch again.

"This... the envoy sent back a message not long ago, saying that Han Tuozhou of the Southern Song Dynasty had the idea of ​​making friends with our court, and the court hall of the Southern Song Dynasty didn't seem to be disgusted with our court..."

Pei Ju hesitated for a moment and said.

"It's a fake!"

When Gao Yan heard this, he said firmly, and then immediately added: "Song Xiaozong Zhao Yun of the Southern Song Dynasty is the only Ming Lord in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he has the assistants of Yu Yunwen and Zhao Ding. He must know the truth of the cold lips and teeth!"

"And if I attack the Ming army, the next goal is indeed Lin'an! These are all obvious!"

"The Southern Song Dynasty will only choose to form an alliance with Zhu Yuanzhang... Their hesitation now must be to confuse and paralyze our army, and they want to gain as much advantage as possible when mobilizing troops!"

Wang Jing nodded slightly.

Others in the hall also felt that Gao Yan was right.

If the Southern Song Dynasty really formed an alliance with Daxia at this time, then everyone present would wonder whether the monarch of the Southern Song Dynasty had changed from Zhao Xuan to Zhao Gou...

"What Zhaoxuan said is very true. The direction of crossing the river for the main force of our army is still in Jiangyin!"

"The specific route of entry, do you have anything to add?"

Wang Jing asked.

He was naturally asking Wei Rui, Lu Xun, and Xie Xuan. They all had the ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops. When they went south, Wang Jing wanted to organize them into the central army to assist him in dispatching troops.

If there is danger somewhere, they can also act as firefighters, going around to put out fires and make up for loopholes.

"The strategy of His Majesty and the Privy Envoy, including the direction of crossing the river, I have no objection..."

Wei Rui acted as the representative of the three, and after exchanging glances with Lu Xun and Xie Xuan, he first agreed to the marching strategy.

Then Wei Rui said softly: "However, the general has a suggestion at the end. If the main force of our army holds back the Southern Song army in the future, we might as well send out an elite group and use Yixing as the line to go upstream along the Lishui River and attack Gaochun!"

"There are large lakes in the north and south of this place, and the terrain is dangerous! If you continue to the west, you can threaten Wuhu and Dangtu; if you go south, you can go straight to Xuancheng along the river; if you go north, you can shake Jinling..."

"If we can capture this place, the hearts of the Ming army in the north and south will fall into our hands! If so, the Ming army will definitely be defeated!"

Wang Jing was shocked when he heard this.

He immediately spread out the detailed map on the wooden case.

With a glance, he found the land of Gaochun mentioned by Wei Rui. This place is located at the southern end of Yingtian, with Shijiu Lake in the north and Gucheng Lake in the south.

Shijiu Lake is connected to Yanzhi River and Qinhuai River. If you go north by boat, you can go straight to the outskirts of Jinling.Gucheng Lake in the south is connected to Shuiyang River, which can also directly reach Xuancheng.

To the west, there is a waterway leading directly to the Yangtze River, threatening Dangtu from behind.

This place can be called the southern gate of Jinling. As Wei Rui said, as long as Daxia can take this place, even if Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to save the defeat.

"Huaiwen is proficient in geography in the south of the Yangtze River, and has a keen eye! If it weren't for Huaiwen, I would never have thought that Gaochun would be so important!"

Wang Jing said with emotion.

Like playing chess, Wei Rui tapped lightly on the map, and immediately hit the Achilles heel of the Ming army!

In an understatement, the mighty enemy who is as angry as a tiger and wolf seems to be annihilated in ashes.

Wang Jing couldn't even learn this kind of bearing.

"General Wei is worthy of being a famous general in the world, and his eyesight is better than mine! If you can capture Jinling, the general will be the first!"

Gao Yan stepped forward to look at the map, and admired it very much.

It seems that Wei Rui simply pointed to the land of Gaochun, but in his understatement, he fully demonstrated his strategic vision of mountains, rivers, terrain and situation.

"To be able to lead an elite army to travel upstream from Yixing to capture Gaochun, and to have the ability to firmly grasp this place, to prevent the Ming army from attacking back, it is necessary for generals and famous generals to sit in the town!"

Wang Jing's eyes fell on the three of them, and then locked on Xie Xuan.

"General Xie, are you willing to take on this important task?"

After all, Wei Rui and Lu Xun are Confucian generals, and their strategies and tactics are top-notch, but in the battlefield of the Shenzhou world, in addition to strategies and tactics, certain strength is still indispensable.

Unless you practice the art of war to the level of Han Xin, you can use the heaven and the earth as your formation, and you will not be afraid of any fierce generals against the sky.

When Xie Xuan was in Hefei, with a small number of Beifu army and remnants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he resisted the full attack of Nanchen and showed extraordinary resilience.

Let him lead the trained Beifu army to Gaochun, and match him with a ninth-level strong man.

Even Chang Yuchun is difficult to break through!

Xie Xuan's expression moved slightly, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious service, of course he would not refuse, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and the general will serve it himself!"

In terms of strategy, the direction of sending troops to cross the river, and the choice of tactics after crossing the river, Wang Jing discussed with everyone for a long time, and finally made a decision.

After this Xiaochao meeting, everything in the first six years will start to revolve around the strategy discussed this time.

The center and various departments will also operate around this.
