Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Although the second part of the welcome ceremony of the Flying Eagles was embarrassing, fortunately, none of the aborigines present had read any martial arts novels, and the mysterious temperament displayed by the black-robed army was enough to bluff people. Hearing this loud slogan, apart from being shocked , I didn't think there was anything wrong.

It's not embarrassing if he's alone.

Jiang Shu persuaded himself in his heart, and asked the black-robed army to get up very calmly.

Later, in order to prevent these players from creating any more excitement for himself, he immediately issued an escort mission, asking everyone to follow Wu You's arrangement and help the crew unload the materials and weapons in the cargo hold off the ship.

Seeing the group of members of the Flying Eagles who seemed to be copied and pasted disappeared from his eyes in an orderly manner, Jiang Shuda breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and then he came back to his senses and turned his gaze to the local officials who came forward to greet him again.

Jiangzhi County is not the county seat of Youmen County, and only the county magistrate and officials of the county came here today.

The county magistrate's name is Dou Sheng, who is from the Dou family of Chen Nan, who is considered to be from a middle-class noble family.

Jiang Shu knew very well that he did not have deep prestige in the South, so he guessed in advance that these officials in Huaizhou would probably not respect him as much as those in the North.

The fact is indeed as he expected.

Youmen County is not far from Jiangzhi County, but there are no people sent by the county to greet them.

Maybe it's because he thinks he's still young and unsophisticated, or maybe it's because King Wei's reputation for gentleness and kindness is widely spread, so he doesn't care about these things.

No matter what the reason was, it was clear that the news of King Wei's expedition to the south had spread throughout the north and south. It was understandable that the prefect of Youmen was busy with his official duties and did not come to welcome him, but he didn't even send an envoy to express his intentions, which was enough to show his attitude.

It's not that Jiang Shu deliberately cares about these superficial forms, but the situation in the southern region is special. Although Bu Jingyun has used military deployment to control Huaizhou for a while, he is not in charge of the governor after all. This territory is still in the hands of those noble officials .

Although it has been in the vortex of political struggle for a long time, in fact, Huaizhou has not really suffered from wars. Therefore, the local powerful forces have not suffered any losses at all, and still maintain the luxurious life of superiority in the past.

These local gentry are deeply rooted in their respective territories, almost monopolizing the upper-level official positions in the government.

As small as Lifang, as large as counties, they control the economy and politics of the whole territory. It is said that each county has some problems of self-government behind closed doors.

Therefore, the contemptuous attitude of the prefect of pylorus also reflects the overall atmosphere of the local gentry in Huaizhou to a large extent.

Perhaps in their view, the new regime is no different from the old dynasty. Even if the new country is established, they can still unite to evade the royal family and control the real power of the government.

This is extremely detrimental to the implementation of the unified policy in the future.

Jiang Shu knew this in his heart, but he wasn't worried. He was here to show his prestige.

The army led by Bu Jingyun hadn't actually opened fire in the Southland yet, and the gentry who kept the information closed didn't know the military strength of the Northland.

Having said that, perhaps it was the effect of the Flying Eagles' roar, at least the attitudes of Magistrate Dou and others are respectful at the moment.

Jiang Shu's plan was to rest in Jiangzhi City for one night, and leave tomorrow for Fengxiguan where the army is stationed, so he did not refuse Dou Sheng's offer of a reception banquet, and after handing over the unloading to Wu You, he took the accompanying Officials and guards went to the county government.

After the banquet that night, Jiang Shu rested overnight in the mansion arranged by Dou Sheng. At noon the next day, when he learned that all the supplies and weapons had been loaded, he officially set off for Fengxi Pass.

From the map, Fengxi Pass is actually not far from Jiangzhi City, and it can be reached by car in at most two hours in future generations.

As for now, due to the rugged mountain roads on the way and the difficulty in transporting materials, even though the accompanying officials Jiang Shu came to pick this time were all able to ride horses, the team still arrived after walking for nearly five days.

According to the players of Flying Eagles, this road was simply repaired after they came here. The original official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are more ditches and narrow roads. It takes a long time to transport food and grass, let alone heavy artillery like cannon Weapons up.

In any case, the difficulties and obstacles along the way made Jiang Shu deeply understand how important transportation construction is.

When we reached Fengxiguan, it was dusk four days later when the sky was full of sunset.

At that time, Jiang Shu was riding a horse and felt quite hot and tired. When he looked up by chance, he saw a tall khaki castle appearing in the distance among the mountain roads.

Fengxiguan was originally only a small village the size of a village. Two years ago, Bu Jingyun moved in with tens of thousands of troops, opened up farmland around it, built houses and fortifications, and then moved in with the farmers from the surrounding villages. The outer city was built on the basis of the original building, and gradually, the area of ​​this military castle was expanded and enlarged.

Today, if one ignores the fact that most of the activities in it are soldiers, this place already looks like a small county town.

After arriving in the evening that day, Jiang Shu moved into the mansion specially prepared for senior military officers in the inner city.

After resting for a night and relieving his fatigue, the next morning, he held a strategic discussion meeting in the main hall of the mansion in good spirits.

Those who participated in this meeting were all old acquaintances. Needless to say, Bu Jingyun, Lu Qing, Wei Xi, and Qin Lang were all good subordinates he personally selected. Duan Yingxiong, Nie Feng, and the four ghost knights were also very good Familiar old players.

There are only two strangers, one is Xie Feng, the current captain of Qingqi, and the other is Fuyi General Lu Jian.

The former said it was unfamiliar, although it was the first time they met, but the other party had some connection with Jiang Shu in terms of identity.

It is Xie Xian's sixth son, that is, Xie Min's sixth brother, and the only member of the Xie family who is a martial artist.

After the Flying Eagles relieved Hengchuan from being trapped, although the city was not breached, it was a fact that Wei State was overthrown.

At that time, the regime in the Northland had just been established, and all the officials of the previous dynasty who had ambitions went north to seek a new way out. However, as a former infantry captain, Xie Feng chose to stay in the Southland.

He knew that as long as the Chu regime established by the Hu people existed, the Han people would have no peace. Therefore, wars would inevitably break out in the South, and wars were the best opportunity for a military officer to be promoted.

So after discussing with his father, he chose to join Bu Jingyun with a thousand soldiers under him.

Unlike Xie Feng's voluntary defection, Lu Jian was sent by his superior - Cangzhou Governor Gao Kang.

In this battle, Jiang Shu did not borrow troops from anyone, and Cangzhou's dispatch of troops was beyond his expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand Gao Kang's move.

The king of Wei personally marched south, and his determination to attack Chu is clear. If he wins this battle, the unification of the world will be just around the corner.

In the eyes of most people, this is a good thing, but from the perspective of Gaokang, the alarm bell should be sounded in advance.

As the governor of Cangzhou, he is not only the patriarch of a great family, but also the general of Zhennan in the previous dynasty. He alone controls a state and holds a heavy army. For the rulers of the new dynasty, this kind of existence is definitely a serious problem that needs to be guarded against.

Jiang Shu thought to himself, Gao Kang certainly knew this, so he thought about self-protection.

Instead of waiting for the military power to be seized in the future and become the target of the power holder's prestige, it is better to make a statement in advance and voluntarily hand over part of the military power to show that there is no threat.

His thoughts can be seen from the objects he sent.

Lu Jian was born in a humble family with no foundation behind him, so he is easy to control, but at the same time he is in charge of the navy, and the [-] soldiers under his command are all good at water warfare, which is also a very important military branch.

It is not insincere for Gao Kang to send out such "attractive" subordinates. It is obvious that he wants to send this ten thousand sailors to Jiang Shu, which is an obvious gesture of favor.

Jiang Shu was naturally happy to accept such an overture.

He looked at Lu Jian, and the other party showed a dignified and generous smile when he met his gaze.

Judging from his appearance and temperament alone, this General Lu seems to be quite capable.

Lu Jian also seemed to know the reason why he was sent here, and he was willing to seize this opportunity to make contributions. From the very beginning, he seemed to be very involved in the atmosphere of the meeting and actively participated in the strategic discussion.

Due to the well-developed waterways in Chennan County, he seemed to have always believed that he would be of great use. Therefore, when he suddenly heard that Bu Jingyun planned to attack Fulong County first by land, he seemed a little puzzled, and asked a question bluntly: " The waterways of Chennan County extend in all directions, and if we attack from the waterways, we can directly capture Jiangqing City, compared to the difficulty of marching by land, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the general to do so?"

Hearing this, Bu Jingyun first looked at Jiang Shu, and after getting the nod from the other party, Fang ordered someone to move a large military sand table into the hall, and then, under Lu Jian's surprised eyes, he used the sand table to explain the reason to the other party.

"There are three reasons for not attacking from the waterway. First, the lord is going south by boat. The enemy has already known about this, so they will definitely increase their defenses on the waterway;

"Second, although the waterways in Chennan County are well-developed, I have sent people to investigate on the spot. The river between Pylori and Chennan County is greatly affected by natural conditions. Some places have wide rivers but shallow water, and some places have deep water but narrow rivers, like The small boats that Xing Sang used to attack Hengchuan can pass freely, but our large ships are easily grounded and blocked.

"And if we abandon the big ships and switch to small ships, our key weapons will be difficult to transport."

Bu Jingyun said with a serious expression, "As for the third point, it is about the offensive route. Our target for this battle is not Chen Nan, but Zhuling."

As for the attacking route, except for Bu Jingyun himself, no one else knew his specific thoughts.

Hearing this, Lu Qing asked: "Chen Nanjun is uncertain, will he be flanked by the enemy?"

His doubts are also the doubts of other people. After all, the opposite of Fengxi Pass is Chennan County. From the map, this place is like the tip of Chu State's knife inserted into Wei State's territory. If the knife tip is not shot down, go directly to it. The blade is indeed likely to be pinched by the enemy.

"So I want to focus on land warfare, supplemented by water warfare." Bu Jingyun said while demonstrating on the sand table, "The main offensive route is from Fulong County to Shanghong, Songcheng, and Juchuan. , and finally the capital of the enemy country, Uriel City.

"As for Chen Nan County above, we need to send troops to contain them, and we need to fortify the water and land routes, but we only need to guard against their sneak attack from the rear, and we don't need to attack, so we don't need a lot of troops.

"Of course, as everyone thinks, attacking Jiangqing City first is also a route, and it is a more secure attack route. But even if we have the advantage in weapons, no matter how fast we attack the city, it will take a huge amount of supplies to win a county."

Speaking of this, he raised his head, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The artillery fire opened the way, it was very fierce, and it cost a lot of money."

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Shu understood what he meant.

Their artillery is indeed a key weapon to defeat the enemy, but both the artillery and the ammunition are limited. It is not cost-effective to use such a weapon in Chen Nanjun. The city of Wulie is the most worthwhile.

The capital city represents the heart of a country. Once Wulie City is destroyed, even if Xing Sang survives, Chu State will suffer a severe setback, and even if there is no artillery, the battle for recovery will be much easier.

While Jiang Shu was thinking about this, Bu Jingyun was also analyzing his purpose to those who didn't understand, and what he said was similar to what Jiang Shu thought.

"So, attacking Wulie City at the fastest speed is actually a symbolic battle. This is my battle plan." After Bu Jingyun finished speaking, he straightened up calmly, leaving it to everyone to ask questions and refute time.

But obviously, both Lu Qing and Lu Jian were persuaded by his sufficient reasons, without any doubts, there were only two chatterboxes, Lan Long and Shangguan Feidao, who flattered them quietly.

"As expected of the boss, you should be considerate."

"Yeah yeah."

Jiang Shu glanced at the two of them, and then said warmly: "Do you have any questions?"

After the words fell, the hall was quiet for a while, and then Lu Qing took the lead in saying: "The lower officials agree to go straight to Wulie City."

After he finished speaking, everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Jiang Shu made a decision, "Then adopt the general's strategy, avoid Chen Nan and take Zhuling."
