At present, Nan Chu has 40,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 rural chariots, plus the 30,000 young and strong soldiers just raised, totaling 100,000 troops. This is the limit. If you guard the city, you will have a certain opportunity to survive until the cold winter.

"Impossible, my country's prince is still in a state of trouble..." Gao Jichong refused without thinking. The focus of the Zhongyong Army was not here at all. Contacting Nan Chu was just to make money and to cause trouble for the Song Dynasty. How could he drag himself into the water?

"General Gao, your lips are dead and your teeth are cold!" Yang Shifan knew of course that no one was willing to face the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, but if Nan Chu fell, who should be the next one?

"The general doesn't have to worry too much. As long as you hold on, there will always be a turning point." Gao Jichong changed the subject and remembered Sun Yu's explanation in his letter. He always wanted to strengthen his confidence. Nan Chu delayed it for a long time and everyone would benefit.

"Turn around?" Yang Shifan instantly grabbed Gao Jichong's implication.

"According to reliable news, Western Shu and Northern Han are ready to move. General, as long as you stand up to those two families, the pressure will naturally be reduced. If you can survive until the wind and snow arrive, the Song Dynasty will have to withdraw its troops." Sun Yu has confirmed all these news. He is now preparing for the troops and waiting for the storm to rise.

"Take it seriously?" Zhou Baoquan couldn't help but speak, as if he was injected with chicken blood, and he was full of energy.

If one person resists the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, it will naturally be like Mount Tai lowering it, but if everyone bears it together, it will be much better.

"No wonder, no wonder, it's like this, hehe!" Yang Shifan remembered that he wanted to buy some weapons from Shu before, but who knew he couldn't even buy pig iron.

At that time, I thought it was because I was afraid of being blamed by the Song Dynasty, but who knew that I was holding on to the big move. This Shu Kingdom had a big appetite.

"I wonder what General Gao can teach me?" Yang Shifan stood up and saluted sincerely. With this news, he could at least appease the generals under his command.

"General, please sit down quickly. My country's prince once said that he could only ignore the gains and losses of a city and a place, try to preserve his strength and eliminate the opponent's elite. At the same time, he would lengthen the front line and continuously consume the opponent, supplemented by harassing the opponent's food route, so the opponent's troops would be expected to retreat." If you want to use small gains and bigs, you have to do everything you can. If you hit the front, it is difficult to get a result.

"Don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place?" Yang Shifan felt a little unbelievable. This was completely different from his previous military use. If he kept retreating and lost his land, could he persist?

"It is natural that it will not be possible if someone else is the commander, but I think Brother Zhou can trust you naturally." Gao Jichong certainly knew Yang Shifan's concerns. If he lost the city, he would suffer a defeat. Not only would his morale be low, but the monarch in the rear would also vent his thunderous anger.

"I trust the general!" Zhou Baoquan hurriedly stated that he would not lead troops to fight, so he was counting on Yang Shifan.

"I will go back and think about it carefully." Yang Shifan thought carefully and found that this plan was extremely feasible, at least it was more likely to win than if he had planned to fight the opponent in Yuezhou or Wangzhou before.

If the front line is pulled to this Tanzhou City, the opponent's logistical pressure will increase, and the vast Dongting Lake will easily hide a group of manpower and harass the opponent's grain road.

What he needs to consider most now is how to ensure that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty can be killed to the maximum extent and to escape from these two states.

Thinking of this, Yang Shifan was no longer in the mood to drink, and he left the seat after he accused of guilt. He had to go back and re-made the combat plan.

.Gao Jichong was also bored to stay and drink with Zhou Baoquan, so he went back to the inn to rest.

The Later Shu Emperor Meng Chang was discussing secretly with the Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan. He thought that his actions were kept secret, but he did not know that they had already noticed them.

"Your Majesty, news came from the Northern Han Dynasty, and it was agreed that on the tenth day of the war in Southern Chu, both sides would send troops at the same time. We sent troops to Fengxiang, and the Northern Han Dynasty sent troops to Jinzhou, echoing each other from afar." Wang Zhaoyuan was proud recently. His strategy of connecting with the Northern Han Dynasty and fighting against the Song Dynasty was strongly supported by Meng Chang, and the limelight overwhelmed Prime Minister Li Hao in one fell swoop.

"Well, is there any movement on the Khitan side?" The fundamental reason why Meng Chang insisted on contacting the Northern Han was that he was attracted to the Khitan behind him. The Khitan had gradually weakened over the years, but the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and it was still the most feared existence of the Song Dynasty.

"The elite cavalry is five thousand to support it." Wang Zhaoyuan was not very satisfied with the result, but the Northern Han Dynasty had no choice. These were all old men and asked for a price everywhere, so they could only afford so many.

The main reason is that the city of the Song Dynasty is solid, and the Khitans are not very optimistic. If they cannot break the city, they will have no income at all.

"Okay, I'll ask the general for this battle! Come and take the tiger talisman!" Meng Chang nodded. There were not many 5,000 elite cavalry, but they were enough to deal with the cavalry of the Song Dynasty. Whether the city could be broken depends on the ability of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"My memory, accept the order!" On the plate brought by the eunuch, half of the shiny tiger talisman was lying quietly. With this, he could mobilize the 150,000 troops involved in the battle.

Western Shu spent a lot of money to fight this battle, and there were 150,000 soldiers. In addition, they had to recruit young and strong men to ensure logistics.

"If this battle is won, I will make you the king!" Meng Chang handed the tiger talisman into Wang Zhaoyuan's hands. He was very much looking forward to it. If he could divide the Guanzhong area equally with the Northern Han Dynasty, then Shu could attack, retreat and defend, and fight for dominance of the world.

Wang Zhaoyuan was holding the tiger talisman and was extremely excited. He wanted to complete a career that Zhuge Wuhou had never accomplished. This was the ultimate dream of all the aspiring people in Shu.

The peaceful world is undercurrents, and just a trace of Mars can cause another dispute in the world.

The eight major legions under the Zhongyong Army, except for Gao Jichong, which was in the enclave of Xiongzhou, were already fully organized. Each regiment is ready to go. Except for Chen Qisi, half of the men left behind to station in Zhangzhou, the other regiments each dispatched eight thousand elite troops to drive towards Fuzhou.

In this battle, with the baggage regiment, the total force exceeded 60,000. Although there were not many personnel, the weapons and equipment were well-equipped, and the new soldiers and the veterans were mixed with them, and the combat power was extremely strong.

"Dude, what are you looking at when you come to the port every day?" The evil dog carried a heavy knife and looked at it. It was full of sea water. Even if you use a telescope, it was still sea water.

"See when the navy will come back." Sun Yu put the telescope in his arms. If he had no help from the navy, he would not have been sure of this battle.

Sun Yu didn't know where the navy was now, and when he would come back. Now that the autumn harvest has just been harvested, the food in Fuzhou can be supplied, but other supplies, with the navy helping to transport them, is much more efficient.

And without a navy, how should he implement the beheading plan?

Sun Yu never thought that he would attack the cities and plunder the land to Hangzhou. Even if the other two routes were going smoothly, he would have to fight for two years. He could not afford it.

Destroy the Navy from Nanyue just to be able to

From the sea, lead a large army to raid.

Of course, the nearest Hangzhou must be very tightly guarded, and even if you land, it will be difficult to achieve results. But if the three lines are launched at the same time, resulting in a huge increase in pressure, the opponent will inevitably draw troops to reinforce, which will give him a chance to raid.

In Jiangling City, Song army general Murong Yanzhao was lying on the couch, without any intention of a war.

"In this battle, the first one was in the Navy. Our first battle was established in the Navy. I have no experience in water warfare. I will be my dear..." Yu Wen Su held a thick document in his hand and read it word by word.

Murong Yanzhao hummed the song, picked up the teacup from time to time and took a sip.

"General, are you listening?" Murong Yanzhao was so thirsty that he grabbed the teacup and poured it into his mouth.

"Yes, the imperial edict, dare I not listen?" Murong Yanzhao turned over and signaled Yuwen Su to continue for a while.

Yuwen Su shook his head. This plan was too long-winded. He had been reciting it for a long time.

"Today, the eyes of all the heroes gather here. If there is any loss in this battle, the world will be unstable..."

"General, General..." A snoring sound came, Yu Wen Su looked dark, even if he turned his back to him, he knew that this person was asleep.

"Are you finished reading?" Murong Yanzhao got up from the couch and stretched.

"I'm done reading." Yu Wen Su handed the document forward. This was considered an imperial edict and had to be collected.

"Tell me the point." Murong Yanzhao didn't listen carefully at all. He talked too much nonsense, and he was like a bedtime story he told when he was a child. He felt sleepy when he heard it.

"The war starts within five days, and you must win the first battle, and you must win beautifully." Yuwen Su was also very surprised, why did he write so much nonsense this time?

"Didn't you say how to fight?" Murong Yanzhao was a little surprised. There were some in the past.

"Well, destroy the opponent's navy first, and then go straight to Yuezhou after landing. Take Yuezhou and go straight to Tanzhou. Before the heavy snow comes, conquer Tanzhou." Yuwen Su was speechless. You didn't listen at all, why did you let me read it?

"That's right, Langzhou won't care?" Murong Yanzhao asked while putting on his clothes. The war will start within five days, so he can't continue to stay lazy.

"I didn't say it." Yu Wen Su spread his hands.

"Then, where is the military supervisor?" Murong Yanzhao tied his belt. Last time, Li Chuyun was the military supervisor of this army. After he was killed, no one came to take over. Seeing that the war was about to begin, why didn't anyone send over?

"The above didn't say it." Yu Wen Su was very convinced. He looked at the document carefully and did not mention the military supervisor at all.

"This is something wrong!" Murong Yanzhao rubbed his face to make him more awake. Why is it so strange? Such a large army has no military supervisor, which is obviously not in line with the style of the official family.

"Is it because there is a knot in the heart of the official family?" Yu Wen Su also felt the same.

If the government really did not send a military supervisor, perhaps it was because of Li Chuyun's death.

Murong Yanzhao felt that it was quite unfair. Li Chuyun's death really had nothing to do with him. Everyone acted according to the wishes of the officials, and their lives and deaths were in harmony with their destiny.

"Let's go out and see how the navy is." Murong Yanzhao shook his head. As long as the battle goes well, he will be ready to get rid of his armor and return to the field after the battle. These are not problems.
