Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

"At this time, we need to take the initiative, otherwise we will really be surrounded on all sides." King Jin once again reiterated the necessity of attacking the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

Bai Xingzhi, a think tank under the King of Jin, said quickly, "Your Majesty, no, the imperial court is threatening us now. If we try to provoke Pingzhou, we will be attacked from both sides."

"And Pingzhou is definitely not easy to mess with."

Bai Xingzhi's evaluation is completely opposite to what King Jin said just now.

King Jin was stunned. He was still very convinced of the ability of his think tank. He immediately asked, "Why did Mr. Bai say this?"

"My lord, think about it. Pingzhou snatched Daijun from Xianbei, which he fought hard to defeat. How can Xianbei not be angry? Xianbei must have fought in Pingzhou, but there is no news that Xianbei has taken Daijun back."

"In other words, Pingzhou still holds Daijun firmly in its hands. What does this mean? It means that even Xianbei is not taking advantage of Pingzhou. Can it be easy to mess with?"

"So, even though the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force currently stationed in Dongtai and Jiangdu counties seems to have mediocre abilities, it is because the tigers are not showing off their power."

After such analysis by military advisor Bai Xingzhi, King Jin's fevered mind finally calmed down.

Kong Huai, another staff member, did not think so, "Did the military advisor overestimate the Pingzhou Army? Wouldn't it be detrimental to the morale of the military to inflame others and destroy one's own prestige in this way?"

"The prince wants to attack the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force, and he also wants to open a gap with it. As the saying goes, if you open it with one punch, you will avoid ten thousand punches. This battle may have the effect of shocking the court."

Bai Xingzhi smoothed the hatband that was hanging down, "Your Majesty, I can't be wrong in this idea. If the Pingzhou Army is really as weak and bullyable as Your Majesty thinks, I'm afraid that this punch won't live up to expectations." The effect is to provoke one more enemy."

"There is another reason why Bai disapproves of taking action against the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force."

"what reason?"

"I have been thinking recently about where the way out is for Donghai. Looking at the current situation, the imperial court is determined to put down the rebellion in Donghai."

King Jin's face turned dark when he heard this. Song Mo didn't want to leave him any way to survive!

"But the imperial court also has a weakness, that is, the problem of insufficient troops. Xianbei is raging in the north, and the imperial court will definitely find ways to increase troops in the north as soon as possible. So although the imperial court is attacking us with great intensity now, the sustainability is definitely poor, and it cannot last forever Gathering so many troops to attack the East China Sea."

"Your Majesty, what we have to do now is to narrow the front line and withstand this wave of attacks."

"In the attack on Pingzhou, even if we win, there will be a loss of troops. The most important thing in our East China Sea right now is not the size of the territory, but the number of soldiers. Therefore, considering all aspects, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force will be the most important thing at this time. unwise."

Everyone present understood it. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.

After Bai Xingzhi's analysis, they started discussing.

"In that case, it's better to have good relations with Pingzhou."

"But if this is the case, will it attract wolves into the house?"

King Jin hummed, "Yes, I am weak now, and even a dog will come to bully me. It would be strange if Pingzhou doesn't take advantage of the situation and rob me."

Bai Xingzhi said, "Your Majesty, at least they haven't taken action against us yet, right?"

"As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Pingzhou was an ally with Nandi before. Later, Xie Zhan and the emperor secretly joined forces. The emperor deceived the prince. Didn't Xie Zhan deceive Lu Songli? We can fight for it and Pingzhou becomes our ally.”

"How to fight for it?" King Jin asked.

"Show sincerity!" Pingzhou is not their parents, how can he treat them unconditionally?

In Bai Xingzhi's view, they had to shrink the front anyway and simply give up Qutao and other places to the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

As soon as Bai Xingzhi said this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is the city of Qutao going to give in? And judging from Bai Xingzhi's attitude, it is possible that he will give up more than just a city like Pingzhou.

Their reaction is normal. Han people have an inexplicable attachment to the land.

"Mr. Bai, if it wasn't confirmed that you are a member of our side, I couldn't help but suspect that you were bribed by Pingzhou." Kong Huai joked.

Bai Xingzhi glanced at Kong Huai indifferently, and then he handed over to the King of Jin, "Your Majesty, whichever is the lesser of two evils. Giving up Qutao and other places to Pingzhou is better than giving up the territory to the court, right?" The land destined to be difficult to hold was given to Pingzhou, and it was just a waste.

Bai Xingzhi had thought about the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force and speculated on the reason why they did not expand their territory after occupying Dongtai and Jiangdu at the beginning. It was probably because Pingzhou was too far away from the East China Sea, so the Pingzhou Expeditionary Army The territory is not positive. Anyway, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force gives people the impression that they want to retreat at any time.

Bai Xingzhi decided to artificially increase their territory. When they occupied more territory in the East China Sea and gained enough benefits, the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force was reluctant to retreat. Pingzhou will either increase its investment in troops in the East China Sea, or actively send troops southward to seize some important territory in Qingzhou and Xuzhou as soon as possible and open up a path southward to the East China Sea.

If Xianbei continues to move south, or Pingzhou moves south, it may force the imperial court to divide its troops to resist. In this way, the pressure on their East China Sea will be reduced.

The people in the old Song family are quite crazy.

King Jin's reaction was as expected.

"Okay, just follow what you said, military advisor! If Song Mo doesn't give me a way to survive, then don't blame me for causing trouble for him!"

He and Bai Xingzhi really dared to make suggestions and adopt them.

"I have troubled you to facilitate this matter."

"I do what I want, I don't dare to invite you."

Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County

At this time, Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and others who were studying maps and combat strategies did not know that pie was about to fall from the sky.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "As the saying goes, after you sing, I will appear on the stage, and then it's our turn to perform." The overall situation of Pingzhou has been decided, and the set goals have been completed as planned.

Guo Chong nodded slightly.

Qin Zhao stretched. After resting for so long, it was almost time for them to work.

Dongtai County Pier

Sun Congyi was the first to jump off the boat.

The young general guarding the dock immediately stepped forward, "Who is it?"

"We have our own people." Sun Congyi said quickly, then took out their governor's warrant from his arms and handed it over.

"Wait a moment." The young general took the warrant and went to find their general.

The general stationed at the dock was Yue Shu. After checking it, he immediately asked people to clear an open space and then signaled the soldiers on the ship to get off the ship.

Everyone began to get off the boat in an orderly manner, and everyone lined up in camp and formation with their heads held high.

The Sun Jiajun had a makeover. They were wearing new clothes issued by Pingzhou, with a layer of warm layers inside.

At the same time, Manager Bi, who had been waiting here for two days, hurried to the ship to meet Lin Shan.

When Lin Shan got off the boat, his face looked ugly.

Yue Shu was planning to take Sun Congyi and others to see General Qin Zhao and Military Advisor Guo Chong.

Lin Shan followed, "General Yue, let's go, I'll go with you to see General Qin Zhao."
