Chapter 225 (1/2)

The Military Council discussed it all night, and didn't even end the meeting at noon the next day. In the end, Li Chengye strongly resisted Zhang Zhen, angrily denounced his strategy for being too risky and ignoring the safety of the whole army, and then slammed the door and left directly to end the meeting!

Zhang Zhen was so angry that he jumped on the spot, pointed to Li Chengye's back and scolded him, saying that he ignored the difficulties in the DPRK and China, went his own way and was extremely domineering.

After Li Chengye returned to the room, his anger still didn't dissipate. A few cups of cold water poured into his stomach. How can he not quench the anger in his heart.

Wei Ran asked, ”Dad, what did you talk about in the military discussion? Make you so angry? ”

”Zhang Zhen asked the Chinese army to go straight into Xuzhou, regardless of the way back, to attack Wang Xianzhi's headquarters! Don't you know that once we go to Xuzhou, the thief army will cut off our way back and surround us in all directions. At that time, we will face more than 400000 bandits surrounded by ten sides. How can we have vitality! ”

Wei Ran's eyebrows jumped. He knew very well the current arrangement of the thief army. The other party relied on the large number of people, and firmly locked the way of the Shence army eastward with Songzhou, Puzhou, Caozhou and Bozhou as the ring chain.

Once one is broken through, it will be cut off by other ministries, and even take this opportunity to attack Gyeonggi province and threaten the eastern capital, so as to gain the upper hand strategically in the short term.

However, the Li family and their son have also discussed strategies. It is by no means a good way to outdo the crowd and make a strong attack. Although there are a large number of thieves, they do not have a stable political system, nor do they have professional bureaucrats who are good at governing the country. All materials enter through plunder.

Therefore, it is not the imperial court that can not fight a protracted war, but Zhu Kou!

At present, the most important thing is two aspects. On the one hand, it is to closely abide by Gyeonggi to prevent the thief army from marching westward. On the other hand, it is to closely guard the Huaihe River defense line and prevent thieves from going south to the Jianghuai River, which will cause serious damage to the Jianghuai River and threaten the Jiangnan and Jingchu, the centers of money, grain and wealth in the world.

As for the thief army going north, don't worry. Going north is nothing more than going to Hedong road and Hebei road. Fan yangyouyun of Hebei Road stationed the Shence border army to guard against the Qidan people. If they dare to go, they should be ready to be attacked by the north and the south.

There are soldiers and horses of Hedong Festival envoy on Hedong road. He has always been cruel and ruthless to the refugees who enter the place under his jurisdiction against thieves. He doesn't need the imperial court to worry about him.

Due to the large scope of defense, it is not enough to rely only on the strength of the left Shence army to suppress bandits at present. It needs the coordinated help of local regiment training.

These regiments were all armed by the landlords. The landlords were most afraid of refugees and bandits robbing their manors. They would fully support the requirements of the imperial court. In order to protect our homeland, the regiment must be very brave and worth using.

With the help of a large number of landlord regiments, we can guard the pass at multiple points. Once the defense node is guarded, when the materials plundered by the thief army are consumed, they will inevitably fall into a situation of self division.

Then, with Zuo Shence as the blade, we can break through the main force of the old camps of various bandits in one fell swoop, so as to disintegrate the chaos of Henan Road and return the world to peace.

However, this consumes a lot of time, so it is not taken by Zhang Zhen. And he has just easily wiped out Wu Junxi's 200000 army with a very slight loss. Obviously, he has become a little arrogant and complacent. He thinks that under the leadership of the army, he should be invincible and unparalleled in the world. Determined to lead the army to advance rapidly and attack Xuzhou.

He believed that as long as Wang Xianzhi, the leader of the alliance among the aggressors, was attacked and destroyed, the other aggressors would be nothing but a plate of loose sand. If they turned around and attacked, they would be destroyed. With the sharp strategy of Zuo Shence, there is no need to worry about the future. As long as we attack cities and land all the way, we can collect supplies on the spot!
