"Your Highness, Li Keyong has raised an army. The Fushui River has broken out in Puxian and Taihang Xingkou." The floating bridge is still under construction, and Shao Shude is still stranded on the west coast of Si Shui. At this time, a messenger brought emergency military information from the north.

"Taihang Xingkou is a feint attack, and Puxian is mostly a feint attack, and only Fushui is real." Shao Shude said.

The various anti-Shao forces are inconsistent.

The Xia and Wu army had been fighting for a month, and it took longer to start from the assembly and mobilization. Li Keyong sent troops at this time, perhaps waiting for the troops and material assistance from the towns in Hebei, which is enough to show a lot of things.

As for the direction of Li Keyong's troops, there is no need to guess, it can only be Hebei.

Cixi is not suitable for large-scale military use, and the terrain is too broken.

It is also difficult to deploy troops at the Taihang Xingkou. In fact, it is not only Taihang Xing, but also Bai Xing and others. Neither side is interested in fighting there.

Only Xingming Ci and Xiangwei have a wide terrain and can join forces with Hebei troops nearby, which is most suitable for launching an attack.

"No need to worry about Li Keyong. Heyang, the Prime Minister's Guards will have 70,000 troops. If they still can't defend, they will go home to farm." Shao Shude said: "Send an order to Yang Yue, continue to send troops this year and find the venue for me."

"Affect the order." Li Yixian signaled, the clerk recorded the order, and then asked the messenger to send it out.

The so-called "retrieval of the scene" refers to what happened more than two months ago.

Li Keyong's cavalry set out from Yunzhou and raided Rouzhou. He captured nearly 10,000 prisoners and killed more than 100,000 cattle and sheep. Qibizhang fled to Shenzhou in a panic, causing heavy losses.

After suffering such a big loss, the Xia army was unable to fight back. Because there were no supply points on the grassland, they could not even move troops. From this, it can be seen that the existence of Yunzhou is indeed a huge disaster. It is extremely uncomfortable to hit Rouzhou and Shenzhou's waist.

Of course, to go deeper, Shao Shude himself was too greedy. The grazing grassland of the tribe was close to Yunzhou, and it was purely for Li Keyong to catch them like a Khitan and beat them up. It was a self-inflicted question.

"See Your Highness." After a while, the Yi army commander Wang Jingqiu came across the river.

"Sit down." Shao Shude pointed to a small stool and said.

Wang Jinghua sat down directly.

"I have been fighting with the Huai Army for more than a month. How do you feel?" Shao Shude asked.

Wang Jingyu thought about it carefully and said, "When fighting with the thieves in Haizhou, I didn't feel anything. After going south to Sizhou, I felt deeply touched."

"Tell me in detail." Shao Shude said with interest.

"Fighting with Wang Maozhang in Haizhou. The thief army has some combat power, but it is not very strong. As long as it does not fall into the thief's plan, it can basically win." Wang Jinghua said: "After going south to Sizhou, I found that it was powerful and had nowhere to use it."

"The boat troops of the Huai people are really annoying." Wang Jinghuai said: "The warships are towering, and the bandits are on the deck, and they are attacking against them. There are also strong crossbows on the ship, and they are shot from afar. Our army's strict array is directly shaken. If the bandits take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, it will be difficult to resist. There are also areas with dense water nets, and the bandits are flying in small boats, and sometimes they will rush out from places you can't imagine, and it will be difficult to resist under the raid."

"It seems that I have suffered a loss." Shao Shude smiled.

"Your Highness doesn't have to squeeze us." Wang Jingwei blushed and said, "After suffering losses, we will pay great attention."

Shao Shude nodded and said, "The Southern Army has the style of fighting the Southern Army, and the Northern People have the style of fighting the Northern People. The Huai Army is not adapted to the tactics of our cavalry coming and going, and suffered a great loss. It is also very common for you to be strong and have nowhere to use it in front of the Zhou army."

"Your Highness..."

"Okay, learn from one mistake and become more wise." Shao Shude waved his hand and said, "In fact, not every Southern Army is so difficult to deal with. It is not a matter of a day or two. In the past, Qiu Fu's rebellion was helpless, and the Zhongwu Army had to quell the rebellion. After Huang Chao went south, there was a change. After Sun Ru's rebellion, their army gradually became regular, but it was only just a secret. If the Southern Army were as capable as it was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the generals were Liu Yu, Tan Daoji, Xiao Mahana and others, who would dare to say that they would win?"

Wang Jingwei also smiled and said, "Sun Ru has trained the Southern People well."

"The warriors in Jiangnan are the first to be Yang Xingmi, followed by Ma Yin. They have incorporated a large number of Northern Army, including military talents, formulated regulations, organized military forces, and led the new army with the old, so they are quite overview. The rest are not strong and very ordinary." Shao Shude said: "For the same navy, Zhong Chuan's fleet is just a native chicken and tile in front of Yang Xingmi. So, you don't have to think too much about Jiangnan. Most areas are still confused. The soldiers are not familiar with the battle formation, and they are even confused. They are not even prepared for war."

"Listen to your Highness, I will suddenly understand." Wang Jinghua suddenly realized.

"Go back to the point," said Shao Shude: "From the weather, the rain will get heavier and heavier in the future. Not only is the cavalry useless, but it is difficult for infantry to march for a long distance. This situation should be familiar with."

"This is how he fought with His Highness in Ruzhou a few years ago." Wang Jinghua recalled: "The heavy rainstorms occurred frequently, the mountain torrents were falling, and everyone rolled in the mud."

"This is not the most troublesome thing." Shao Shude said: "Our army has many northern people. Come here to fight and pay attention to the epidemic in the army. Once you find it, you will be isolated immediately."

"As for the order." Wang Jinghua's face turned solemn and replied.

He knew that in the Battle of Heqing that year, there were heavy rains in the past few days, and Pang Shigu's 100,000 troops could not even eat hot rice. The army was full of epidemics and morale plummeted, so there was no way to fight.

"I have ordered Li Tangbin not to clear the word, and the whole army retreated north." Shao Shude said again: "I will transfer the Dragon and Tiger Army to Xuzhou in the north, and it depends on you on the southern line."

Yi joined the army to defend the eastern section of Huaibei, and supported the Japanese army Dai Siyuan's troops to defend the northern section to prevent the Huai army from heading north.

Liu Zhijun's troops of the Dragon and Tiger Army joined the Xuzhou battlefield and launched the final general attack on this important town.

Shao Shude was not sure whether Yang Xingmi would take the opportunity to go north.

Logically speaking, after being fought by his cavalry troops for a while, they should be in a state of confusion and their morale was damaged. They should not have gone north in a hurry.

But who knows what Yang Xingmi will go crazy? This time he moved west from Qingkou to Linhuai, which was not supposed to be, but he did it. After the Huangmei Season arrived, the rain continued and the river water surged. What if he wanted to take advantage of the navy's advantage to go north? He had to be wary of it.

"Xia Pi should be very empty. You can divide a group of troops and go and take them over." Shao Shude said: "There are still a small number of Huai Army guards in Lianshui. I have asked Li Tangbin to send someone to surrender. If the surrender fails, you will attack later. Just follow the command of Li Tangbin. I will no longer command directly along the way."

"Affect the order." Wang Jingqi responded.

In fact, he was quite annoyed by Lianshui. For cities like Linhuai that are backed by the Huaihe River, they cannot get any supply, so they are not so strong in surrendering, and they will have to spend a lot of effort later.

"All the prisoners are sent here, I will send them to Luoyang to repair the palace city." Shao Shude said: "I have nothing to do here."

When Wang Jingqi heard this, he stood up and bowed and said he was leaving.

"After listening for a long time, how do you feel?" Shao Shude called Li Yixian, Yang Hongwang, Yang Hongyin, Zhe Congyun, Chu Shenping, Chen Zhang, Wang Chong and other generals, and asked.

"Your Highness is always so calm," said Li Yixian.

"I read the "Art of War" carefully. Twenty years ago, I thought this book was written too briefly, but now I feel it is more and more interesting." Shao Shude said: "On the battlefield, you must always have a calm mind. Don't be angry, don't act voluntarily, don't be heroes. Calmly analyze the enemy and me, and do not cause others, and never make yourself too excited or too passionate. Of course, this is my way of playing. If you have your own routine and think it is effective, you can pretend that you have not heard these words."

Everyone laughed. Your Highness was teaching experience, but he did not force everyone to be the same as him. One hundred generals, one hundred ways of playing, the most useful thing is to suit him.

His Highness used troops, like a wolf on the grassland, patiently tracking his prey, waiting for him to reveal his fatigue and flaws, and then pounced on him to bite. If a blow could not be fatal, he would continue to wait patiently and stare at the prey coldly until he exhausted his blood and energy.

When fighting against such an enemy, I always feel a chill in my neck and it’s quite uncomfortable. I will be exhausted even if I don’t get beaten to death.

"Your Highness, the Zhou Shishi in Huainan is strong, we are not in time for the time being. But can we go south while we are in winter?" Chu Shenping asked.

"I'm very happy that you can think so." Shao Shude said happily: "But the Huai River basically does not freeze in winter. Even if it freezes in cold winter, can you pass by people, can you pass by carriages? Even if you can pass by carriages, if you only have a few months of cold, will it take enough time?"

"But it's great if you can take the initiative to come up with a solution," Shao Shude praised. "It's really better to fight Huainan in winter than in other seasons. At least the sergeants are not so easy to get sick."

Shao Shude likes Chu Shenping very much. Maybe it’s because he likes to sleep with Chu’s soft body, he loves the house and is in a mess.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that Yang Xingmi should be scared and dare not come again. Or he has given up Xuzhou in his heart." Yang Hongyin said.

"Reason?" Shao Shude asked.

"The heavy rain is not good for me, but it is not that easy for the Huai Army." Yang Hongyin replied: "Of course he can send the boat army north and go straight to Xuzhou along the Si River. But so what? He failed consecutively and his morale was not strong, so he would lose his courage to fight with our army. If he had to die, he would just take some Xuzhou officials and generals away. Xuzhou - they couldn't defend it."

"We can't just consider military affairs when marching and fighting." Shao Shude's eyes swept over everyone one by one and said, "Yang Qilang's words are very insightful. You should learn a little. In the future, analyze the battlefield situation and add these factors. What are the Xuzhou military people thinking? Why did they join Yang Xingmi in the beginning? Will they still join? After they disperse, they will write me a policy discussion to discuss this matter in detail."

"As for the order." Everyone responded in unison.

Shao Shude smiled.
