Chapter 401 Battle Plan
"Hurry, please come in!" Li Yu forced himself to cheer up. At least there were still a group of cavalry under Sun Yu's command.
"My minister Sun Yu, come to your Majesty!" Sun Yu entered the imperial study room, glanced at Lin Zhaoqing, and Sun Yu had a chance to meet this military general, but he had no much interaction, so he immediately knelt on one knee.
"Please get up quickly, Lao An, give him a seat!" Li Yu quickly greeted Sun Yu and asked him to sit down opposite Lin Zhaoqing.
"Sun Aiqing, this is General Lin Zhaoqing, who has been stationed on the riverside for a long time. General Lin, this is Gongsun Yu of Min Kingdom. You two are the pillars of my Tang Dynasty. I am so lucky!" Li Yu introduced them to know each other, one in the south and one in the north, one in defense and one in the attack, which complemented each other.
"I have seen the general, and I am afraid to compete with General Lin!" Sun Yu was young and had a far inferior qualifications after all, so he took the lead in bowing to Lin Zhaoqing, which was considered a greeting.
"The Duke of the State is polite, and he won consecutive battles and expanded the territory of our Tang Dynasty. This is a far cry from the general." Lin Zhaoqing was very helpful and immediately returned a gift. He was polite to each other and everyone was ashamed of their face.
"Sun Aiqing is here, and the letter is vague, just to review it?" Li Yu signaled An Jinhai to serve tea, and he was going to have a good chat with Sun Yu.
I still remember the scene when Sun Yu and Fang Ding Jianzhou returned to Beijing to report his work. It was the first time he was full of yearning for the outside of the palace, even if it was a war.
"Of course not. I have a big deal, and it is inconvenient to write letters." Sun Yu finished speaking and glanced at Lin Zhaoqing without any trace. He was not sure whether he should have said this person.
"Oh, Sun Aiqing, it's okay to say it." Li Yu understood the meaning of Sun Yu's eyes and gave him a clear look. Lin Zhaoqing was his confidant general, otherwise he would not have been transferred to guard the imperial city today.
"The navy formed under my command will be wiped out the South Vietnamese fleet ten months ago with the East China Sea. From now on, the South China Kingdom will have no more Shanghai ships, and the Tang Dynasty navy will be allowed to traverse the East China Sea." After Sun Yu finished speaking, although his head was lowered, his eyes were raised. He wanted to see Li Yu's surprise expression clearly.
But he was disappointed, and Li Yu was not as happy as he imagined.
"Duke Sun is serious?" On the contrary, Lin Zhaoqing was extremely surprised when he heard this. He couldn't help but get up from his seat and ask.
"Of course, most of the merchant ships in South Vietnam sink to the bottom of the sea, and a small number of them were captured by our army and disposed of on Da Ryukyu Island." Sun Yu sighed in his heart. At least Lin Zhaoqing was a cargo-knowing and knew the significance of the fleet to the South Vietnamese.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. In the past, my navy was not allowed to go out to sea because the Nanyue Navy guarded the sea estuary. Now that the sea ship of the Nanyue Kingdom has been destroyed, my Datang navy can completely defeat the navy on the river and successfully open the sea estuary." Lin Zhaoqing was a little excited. Even if the Nanyue Navy could not defeat it, as long as he retreated a little, the Nantang navy could only watch it, because if the sea ship of the Nanyue Kingdom appeared at the sea estuary, they would go to die.
During the water battle, the size of the warship is a reflection of combat power. No matter how large the building ship is, it is not stable enough when it goes to the estuary. When it encounters a larger sea ship that is suitable for sailing at sea, it is a luxury to escape.
"Sun Aiqing has worked hard for this trip. He has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty. I will consider the rewards as appropriate." Li Yu felt that it seemed to make some sense, but if he couldn't take Suzhou, it would not make much sense.
.
If you can take over Suzhou, you can create a sea ship trade. Whether you go to Japan, to Khitan or Goryeo, it is a good way to make a fortune.
Sun Yu was a little disappointed. Today, Li Yu had no appearance as a wise ruler at all. Could it be that he had lost his fighting spirit by drinking and sex?
"Did Your Majesty still remember my plan?" Sun Yu buried all his unhappiness deeply in his heart. The whole situation has developed to the present, and the situation is very good, and this person is indifferent.
"Sun Aiqing is trying to solve the worries of Nanyue?" Of course Li Yu remembers this, but Nanyue is not easy to mess with. If the Song Dynasty sends troops, Nantang will be attacked from both sides.
"Of course, Your Majesty, now our Tang Dynasty has formed an encirclement against South Vietnam, and the sea passage has been cut off. The navy of my loyal and brave army can land along the coastline at the right time." Sun Yu believes that the current situation is the best situation for South Vietnam. South Vietnam has not yet reacted. Once it is dragged down, it must strengthen its defense and contact the Song Dynasty in case of accidents.
If you block South Vietnam from the sea and land at the same time, the longer you will be, the weaker the South Vietnam will be. However, you can't wait for that long. After the autumn harvest, it will be the best fighter.
"However, the imperial guards in Jiangbei and Song dynasty were too stressed, worried, and too many troops were drawn..." Li Yu first considered his life safety and wealth, because at present, he could still have a wealth of food and music every night. But if the war fails and the Song Dynasty's intervention is too strong, he may lose everything.
"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that what Duke Sun said is very much. Nanyue has always intended to surrender to the Song Dynasty. If the Song army crosses the river, Nanyue will definitely take advantage of the situation. The situation is still acceptable. It is time to solve Nanyue first to resolve the enemy's trap in the future." Lin Zhaoqing has always been a pro-war faction, and he wants to take action first against the Song Dynasty.
Before, Lin Zhaoqing wrote a letter to launch a raid on the water camp along the Song Dynasty. He could not watch the Great Song Navy take the lead. However, Li Yu hesitated. Now the Great Song Navy has begun to take shape, and it is impossible to raid again.
"I always feel that the time has not come." Facing these two confidant generals, Li Yu cannot say that he is afraid. He can sit here safely today and enjoy wealth and honor. These two people make an indelible contribution.
"Your Majesty, according to my estimate, after the autumn harvest, the Song Dynasty will inevitably go to war with Southern Chu. This is a good opportunity. Once you miss it, it will be too late to regret it!" Sun Yu made a statement again, and it was simply nonsense to have absolute certainty.
Even if the Song Dynasty went to war with Southern Chu, it might intervene in the Jiangnan battlefield. With the national strength of the Song Dynasty, it would not be too big of a problem to launch two battles at the same time.
"Then, how about we dispatch soldiers when the Song and Nanchu go to war?" Li Yu also knew that it was not a long-term solution at the moment, but just a big decision, which was too difficult.
Moreover, the court must be under a lot of pressure. If the Song Dynasty came to attack, they would be on the defensive and could still work together, but at the moment, they were taking the initiative to challenge the situation.
"Your Majesty is wise. In the eyes of my ministers, you should send troops from Suzhou, Shezhou, Fuzhou and the three sides together. With the power of thunder, you will not give Nanyue any luck." Sun Yu put on a high hat, making Li Yu unable to regret it.
"Your Majesty is wise. This strategy of Duke Sun will definitely make my Tang Dynasty more successful.
The building is divided into rivers with the Song Dynasty, and the peace will be at your fingertips." Lin Zhaoqing knew very well that Li Yu did not have the courage to go directly with the Song Dynasty. His greatest hope was to be able to cut the rivers with the Song Dynasty. In other words, it was to hit his pain point.
Sure enough, when Li Yu heard this, his face was relaxed. At present, the Tang Dynasty was fully equipped with armor, and he could not defeat the Song Dynasty, and he could not control a Nanyue.
If you fight on the third line, the maneuver space in Nanyue is very small. No matter which way there is a breakthrough, the soldiers will guide the hinterland of Vietnam.
Moreover, in this way, as long as he is responsible for the two fronts of Suzhou and Shezhou, and on the battlefield in Fuzhou, Sun Yu must have personally led the Zhongyong Army to fight.
If this battle is won, he will swallow Nanyue in one bite. He will be the king of Zhongxing of the Tang Dynasty. The six states in Jiangbei are much worse than those in the Nanyue Kingdom, both population and land and wealth.
"Thank you for your hard work in Sun Aiqing, and the current good situation is hard to come by. Lin Aiqing is responsible for the front line of Shezhou. As for Suzhou, Zheng Yanhua, the governor of Zhenhai, was commanded by Sun Aiqing, and what do you think?" Zheng Yanhua is responsible for the Yangtze River defense line east of Jiangning, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and is the best candidate for the Suzhou battlefield.
"I accept the order!"
"I will obey the order!"
Sun Yu and Lin Zhaoqing both knelt on one knee. For this day, Sun Yu had been planning for a long time. Similarly, this was also an opportunity that Lin Zhaoqing thought should not be missed.
The strategy of the Southern Tang Dynasty to attack and destroy Yue was decided at this time, and the preparation stage would be necessary later. Once the Song army starts a war with Southern Chu, it will be a good opportunity.
"Sun Aiqing, you have made great contributions for many times, and I don't know how to reward you." The matter was almost the same. Since it was decided, Li Yu had to go to the scene. The generals fought hard, so he naturally took on the pressure in the court.
Now Sun Yu is already out of no way to be granted. If he takes another step forward, he will have to be granted a king. But if he is granted a king now, how should he give him reward after the Battle of South Vietnam ends?
"I do my best for the country, but I don't ask for rewards. Now I have a private matter and I want to ask Your Majesty to make the decision." Sun Yu felt that the time was almost the same, and it was time to raise the matter of the eldest prince.
"Oh, my dear, get up first, is it a marriage matter?" Li Yu said with a smile. There are many people in the court who are thinking about Sun Yu's marriage.
"It's not this matter, but I want to repay a kindness." Sun Yu wanted to say something but stopped. This matter could not be too abrupt.
"What kind of kindness do you have to be alone?" Li Yu felt a little confused. He went to repay the kindness, but why did he even get involved with him?
Li Yu was most afraid that Sun Yu would tell him about King Han. He knew that his younger brother King Han had great kindness with him, but now he was in Kaifeng, so he could do nothing. He wrote letters to Kaifeng several times, and replied that he would let King Han experience the prosperity of the Song Dynasty more. It is estimated that only when he went to Kaifeng himself could he exchange King Han back.
"The late Empress, I met me when I was young, and later I had kindness and I wanted to repay this friendship." After Sun Yu said that, he turned to look at Li Yu, his eyes clear and calm.
