He ​​knew that the emperor was in a hurry, but Captain Zhang didn't know that the emperor was so anxious.

Not to mention Lianghuai, Yue Fei arrived in Xiangyang for only a month... Urgent report to the entire army, deployment of defenses along the river, and other major and minor matters such as raising food and wages.

How can we do it in only one month!

This Northern Expedition is said to be a three-front battle, but everyone knows in their hearts that only Xiangfan, Tang and Deng, and Xinyang, where Liu Qi is, are the real main battlefields.

It is the closest to Bianjing and is where the Jin army is stationed.

As for Lianghuai, it only serves to contain and assist.

Thinking that after a few years of peaceful life, the emperor may have forgotten the pain of war and chaos.

Zhang Jun cleared his throat and whispered:

"Officials, even if we want to send troops, we know that we have to tell Han Liangchen and others. Even if we really take Shouzhou, wouldn't it conflict with the Northern Expedition plan?"

Lieutenant Zhang had a very strategic vision, and the emperor endured the humiliation and took a piece of paper and a book, risking the reputation of betraying the alliance, just to gain an advantage.

If this opportunity is only wasted on Shouzhou...it would really be like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.

"And..." Zhang Jun seemed to have remembered something, "The Jin people don't seem to be careless. The spies sent by the minister have visited several times. The defense of Shouzhou City seems to be tighter than last year."

Originally, I wanted to send some people into the city first, and then coordinate the internal and external cooperation. In this way, we would get twice the result with half the effort.

But Shouzhou city is so tightly guarded that people can get in, but weapons and armor can't even be considered.

In addition, the scouts on the opposite side have been staring at this side. As long as the ship here moves, Shouzhou City will definitely know it.

In this way, there seems to be no other way except hard hitting.

After listening to Zhang Jun's words, Liu Bang lowered his head and thought for a while.

It would be best for the Jin people to relax, but they are still on guard at all times, which shows that they are not idiots.

Looking at the map again, Shouzhou and Shouchun County are separated by only a river, almost face to face.

To the east of Shouzhou City, the Huaihe River happened to turn a corner, so that the south and east sides were blocked by water.

"How many defenders are there in the city?"

Zhang Jun glanced at Wang De. Wang Yaksha was an evil Yaksha to the golden man and to others, but when he was in front of the emperor, he actually became speechless.

Some stammered: "Three, about three thousand."

"Three thousand..."

This number is similar to what I imagined. After all, this is almost a barrier to Bozhou, but this city is really too small.

There are three thousand people, and including the officials and civilians in the city, there are almost five thousand people.

The real army should be the tens of thousands of people in Bozhou City.

The two places are four hundred miles apart. It only takes three days. As long as Shouzhou City can hold on for three days, Bozhou's reinforcements can come.

In other words, they have to capture Shouzhou within three days.

Liu Bang was quick at everything except in bed, especially in battle.

What seems very troublesome to others seems very simple to him.

Whether it’s clever tactics or terrain and feng shui, whether it’s military morale or the gap between ourselves and the enemy, people like Han Xin and Zhang Liang always have a lot to consider.

He only thinks about two things: whether he can fight, and whether he can survive the fight.

The disadvantage of leading the army in this way is that it is easy to lose the battle.

And the advantage... is just one word:

Fast.

In the six months from August of the first year of the Han Dynasty to April of the second year of the Han Dynasty, they attacked Hanoi, captured Sima Xian (ang), crossed Pingyinjin, and headed for Luoyang. Then they took time to mourn Emperor Yi in the middle, and finally formed an alliance.

The princes went outside Xiang Yu's capital Pengcheng...

Yes, it only took half a year.

Of course, he did a good job in a series of performances such as burning the plank road. Anyway, when he came out of the Three Qin Dynasty, the princes had already started to fight with Xiang Yu.

Later, when fighting the Xiongnu, he was also so fast that he left others behind and was surrounded by others.

Now facing this situation, he began to ask himself again:

Can I fight?

Of course we can fight, it’s just a small fucking town.

Can you survive the fight?

Zhang Jun has 70,000 to 80,000 people, leaving 20,000 to set up defenses in the south. The rest are almost one in ten, what the hell is there that he can't defeat?

There was already a calculation in his mind, and he was about to speak, but Yaoshi Guo, who had been lowering his head, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I do have an idea."

Zhang Jun never had a good impression of this old man, but he didn't know his identity, and he saw that the emperor was close to him... Well, the reason why he didn't have a good impression was because he was close to the emperor.

Now I see him trying to speak first, how can I let him get the limelight!

He hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I also have a plan!"

Wang De on the side gently tugged on Taiwei Zhang's sleeve... I have followed this man for several years, and I know that in addition to being tougher than Liu Guangshi, Taiwei Zhang is just a little tougher, at least he dares to show his sword with the golden man.

The rest of the time, most of them are thinking about how to quit and when to quit.

Now that the emperor had killed Qin Hui, he also said what would happen to those who blocked his revenge. If Zhang Jun displeased the emperor at this time... No matter what, Zhang Jun still had nothing to say to his subordinates, so Wang De wanted to stop him. , anyway, it may not be right if you say it, but it is definitely good if you don’t say it.

Don't embarrass your face again.

And Liu Bang... He brought this old man with him, not expecting him to be of any use, but it was rare to have a person with such a sensitive identity. If, if someone knew his identity in Lin'an, those old men would If he is killed, that would not be good.

People in the Song Dynasty hated Pharmacist Guo, but Liu Bang did not; people in the Song Dynasty blamed him, but Liu Bang did not.

Seeing him talking like this now, I remembered that the old boy was the number one general of the Song Dynasty after all, and in terms of his record against the Jin people, no one could compare to him except Yue Fei, Liu Qi, and Han Shizhong.

But seeing Zhang Jun's eager look again, Liu Bang waved his hand:

"The captain will speak first."

Zhang Jun glared at Pharmacist Guo proudly, and then broke away from Wang De's hand:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"I dare not hide it from you. Ever since I arrived in Shouchun from Lin'an, I have been thinking about how, how..."

Captain Zhang thought for a moment and finally remembered how to describe it:

"How to outsmart Shoucheng! Thanks to the official's daily teachings, the old minister actually figured it out!"

Liu Bang rolled his eyes at him: "Stop talking nonsense to me and get down to business!"

Zhang Jun quickly said yes, then pointed at the map and said:

"We can take it here first!"

As he spoke, his fingers slowly moved from the left side of Shouchun to Shunchang Mansion, which is the location of Yingzhou.

"When we capture this place, even if Bozhou City sends troops, they will come to Yingzhou first."

"Since we have a large number of people, we can divide our troops and wait in Shouchun. As long as Bozhou City sends troops, it will be much easier for us to capture Shouzhou."

"When the time comes, we can go north from Shouzhou and go straight to Bozhou, and tell the dog thieves in Bozhou City to take care of the head and not the tail!"

Zhang Jun's method was to abandon his initial plan and capture Bozhou as quickly as possible...

Liu Bang's eyes narrowed slightly, Wang De coughed several times, and even Pharmacist Guo frowned a little.

It’s not that Zhang Jun’s suggestion is good, it’s just that this place...

In the peace negotiation before this year, the Jin people returned almost all of the south of the Yellow River to the Song Dynasty. Later, Wanyan Wushu killed the leader of the Jin Dynasty and the ministers, tore up the peace treaty and invaded the south again.

At that time, Shunchang Mansion had been handed over to the Song Dynasty.

It was there that Liu Qi won the most beautiful battle in his life since the beginning of the war between Song and Jin Dynasties.

Originally, Liu Qi was going to Kaifeng to serve as his guard in Tokyo. When he arrived in Shunchang, he learned the news and immediately entered the city to guard the city.

At that time, Liu Qi only had 20,000 Eight-Character Army under his command, and no more than 5,000 could go into battle... However, he severely damaged Wanyan Wushu's forward army several times, forcing the troops who were originally stationed in Kaifeng to prepare a hundred thousand troops for Yue Fei. The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom had to personally lead his troops to help.

So... Jin Wushu was defeated in a row. He originally arrived in Shunchang on June 7th, and ordered that he would have breakfast in the city on the 9th.

He also said that after the city was broken, all the women's treasures and silks were captured by the generals, while all the men were killed.

As a result, he was never able to enter the city and fled in despair.

This battle perfectly coordinated the two wings of Wu Lin, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and the Song Dynasty truly achieved a complete victory on all four fronts.

Liu Qi was promoted to the commander of Ma Army Division because of this war.

However, when Uncle Liu Xin was here last year, he encouraged the people in the city and scuttled the boats he brought, giving the people of Shunchang Prefecture an attitude of never giving up on them.

In addition, Jin Wushu issued an order to massacre the city. In this way, the army and the people worked together to fight this battle.

It can be said that without the help of the people of Shunchang Mansion, Liu Qi's few people alone will never be enough.
To be continued...
