There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 425
Shi Tianyi said: "My lord thinks too much."

Li Chu was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know if my lord wants Jiangnan or Jiangning?"

"What should we do with Jiangnan, and what should we do with Jiangning?"

Shi Tianyi explained: "If my lord wants Jiangnan, then this Jiangning should not be brought down by Fang La. After being brought down by Fang La, my lord will take it back. Of course, I can win a reputation in the court for recovering the lost land, and of course it can be justified in terms of the banner." Jiang Ning, my lord, have you ever thought about the people in Jiangnan?
In the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, the battle of Huashigang lasted for eight years. To the people, it was a huge disaster. The officers and soldiers of the imperial court only had hatred in the eyes of the people. In the hearts of the people, the imperial court was no longer there. There was only one person who could make them survive. It's better, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people willing to join Fang La's rebellion.

At this time, the most important thing for the lord to do is to take Jiangning by himself. I don’t know that the troops around my lord at this time may capture Jiangning alone. If the lord captures Jiangning by himself, the lord must not forget what his subordinates said during the rebellion in Rufen Town. If you say that, kill the six thieves, kill Zhu Meng, and be on the right track!

The trouble in Jiangnan lies in Cai Jing, and in Zhu Ying. If the lord can kill Zhu in person in front of the people, based on Fang La's impression in the hearts of the people at this time, the people in Jiangnan will not be willing to return to the lord by then?
At that time, the lord will complete the hegemony of annexing the south of the Yangtze River with the intention of paying it off. When the time comes, all the land in the south of the Yangtze River will belong to the lord. Who in the world will dare to say that the lord is not?

So what about the Great Song court?
If not, the lord can also use the Yangtze River as a natural danger, and draw the river to rule with the Song court, so what can the Song court do against the lord?
Now the only army that can fight in the Song Dynasty is the Western Army. However, the Western Army has been fighting in the northwest for a long time and is good at mountain warfare in the northwest. Going south?

If the lord does not have enough troops at this time to capture Jiangning, then he only needs to sit in Danyang and pull Fang La from the rear. This Danyang is where the food and grass in Fan La's rear are. If Danyang is lost, Fang La will definitely be in need of food and grass, and the lord is there. The latter will inevitably retreat. As for if they come to counterattack Danyang, the lord should not be afraid, just stick to Danyang.Although Jiangning Zhu Meng is hateful, he will not sit idly by. Now that Fang La has become bigger, he will never let Fang La take back Danyang and put himself under siege again. He will definitely attack Fang La from behind.In this way, Fang La was restrained. With his lord having such sophisticated weapons, Fang La would not be able to capture Danyang for a while. In less than a day, once his food and grass were exhausted, the morale of the army would be in chaos and he would retreat.

As soon as Fang La retreated, Jiang Ning's crisis would be resolved. With Li Jun's more than 2 sailors, Jiang Ning naturally had no reason to continue to detain and fight, and now the lord has captured Danyang.The current identity of the lord is still apparently the Qilin Guard Qilin Army conferred by the imperial court. In order to make up for the misfortune of Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Mian will inevitably ask the lord for help, and then he will not dare to forcibly detain the lord's navy.

As for Fang La, there is still a place to attack after he retreats, and the lord does not need to worry about it. He just needs to sit in Danyang and wait for General Lu to lead the army to arrive. At that time, the lord can directly capture Jiangning, kill Zhu Xi, and shake the south of the Yangtze River with his voice! "

"Thank you, sir, for your clarification."

What Shi Tianyi said was very clear and straightforward.

Li Chu couldn't help but shook his head, sometimes he was easy to get into the horns, and having a counselor beside him really made it a lot easier. When he was confused and didn't know how to move forward, Shi Tianyi had already pointed out the way ahead.

Shi Tianyi continued: "After the lord takes Jiangning, there is one more thing to keep in mind. Now that the lord's army has gone deep into the Jiangnan area alone, the current predicament is still the same. Once Jiangning is captured, don't commit murder."

"What's the explanation?"

Shi Tianyi said: "Jiangnan is a place, half of the world, counting tens of hundreds of states, how many soldiers and horses does my lord have now? Could it be a conquest in the south of the Yangtze River, will the lord come here without a battle? Today's Jiangnan For the lord, it can be said to be a century-old plan, and it is the foundation of the country. The Qilin army's soldiers and horses are not enough at this time, and the army is bound to be extremely exhausted after such a long-distance attack.
According to Tianyi's plan, after the lord takes Jiangning, he can reorganize some of Fang La's original troops, and only punish the evil leaders. In less than a year, it is enough to naturalize these troops into the ownership of the lord.Not only that, the lord can also recruit those displaced people, let them become citizens in their free time, participate in labor and training, and once the war breaks out, they can be immediately turned into soldiers when they are needed. It still needs a lot of calculation and subdivision, and Tianyi will discuss this matter with the lord later.

My lord, please don't forget about Wang Qing! "

Wang Qing!

After finishing the call with Shi Tianyi, Li Chu only had these two words in his mind.

Shi Tianyi's last sentence was a reminder to Li Chu.

Wang Qing's turf has been wiped out, but Wang Qing has escaped, and he doesn't know where he has gone.

It is not to worry about Wang Qing's resurgence, but to seize Chengdu, Yunnan, and Sichuan in the name of Wang Qing.

This was when he was still in Rufen Town, Shi Tianyi gave Li Chu the best of the three strategies. No matter whether Wang Qing was alive or dead, he could use the name of Wang Qing's escape and collusion with Yunnan to lead him along the way. The soldiers attacked the southwest area.

Shi Tianyi's words were to remind Li Chu that the southwestern side would continue to conquer and pacify. The main force of the Qilin army should not be restrained by too many people in the south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, who would fight in the southwestern side?

It's good to have a counselor.

Especially a very talented counselor.

It is really lucky to pick up this treasure. Who would have thought that the literati who was involved in the incident in Xiangcheng County would have such amazing talents?If it hadn't been for Li Chu's rebellion and capture of Xiangcheng County, this great talent would have died in prison.

After returning to Danyang City, Li Chu rushed to the top of the south gate.

Zhan stood on the top of the city and watched the Qilin Army and Wang Delin's Three Thousand Soldiers clear out the remaining bandits.

The cleaning time lasts longer, mainly in the chase.

It wasn't until dusk ended that the war was truly over.

The results of the war were also calculated.

The Qilin Army killed ten people and injured more than 60 people...

These ten people were injured by a strongman in Zhang Jinren's army. His weapon was a heavy hammer, which caused blunt damage. Coupled with his infinite strength, only ten people were killed. However, this strongman was also injured by the remaining Qilin army. Killed.

On Wang Delin's side, 3000 of the 100 people were killed and 400 were injured.
