Soon after Fu Jinzhan awarded Guo Shao the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, Guo Shao asked to establish a temporary military mansion on the south side of Dianqiansi, named "Jiangnan Qianying Shogunate", which was specifically responsible for the operation of the Southern Tang War. =Top=dot=Small-It is said that the Privy Council envoy Wang Pu took the place of Guo Shao in charge of the military seal and presided over all matters. There are Prime Minister Li Gu, Taichang Temple Qing Zuoyou, Kaifeng Government Left Office Push Officer Huang Binglian, Hakka Provincial Envoy Zan Jurun, and the Privy Council Two people, dozens of officials.
The people collected and sorted out the news, formulated strategies, and proceeded step by step to prepare for the launch of war against the Southern Tang State.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guo Shao suddenly got news: Li Chuyun had captured Chizhou!
Guo Shao was sitting in the lobby of the shogunate. He was really taken aback when he heard Wang Pu's words. He quickly turned to confirm on the picture behind him, and then turned to look at Wang Pu: "Chizhou? Did I hear you wrong?"
Wang Pu is not a person who is accustomed to joking, and his expression is very serious: "The memorial that the Privy Council just received is Chizhou, Chizhou in the south of Shouzhou! The memorial is in my hands, and Guo Du check it out. You know."
Wang Pu came forward and handed Guo Shao the report in his hand. When Guo Shao got the things, he did not forget to look back and confirm his position.
This... As the saying goes, the plan can't keep up with the changes. It is really incredible to see the location of Chizhou!
After Li Chuyun eliminated Zhou Xingfeng, the main force was originally in the Dongting Lake area of Hunan; what Guo Shao originally hoped was: Li Chuyun’s troops would go eastward along the river and occupy the relatively weak Wuchang Jie town (Nantang general Lin Renzhao’s suggestion was not adopted , He himself was also transferred back to Jinling); and then based in Wuchang, water and land along the river, the initial purpose was to put pressure on the west of the Nantang State, and deal with the main force of the southwestern Nantang army centered on Hongzhou (Nanchang).
Wuchang Jie Town is in Hubei, along the Yangtze River in the past are Jiujiang, Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Chizhou in Anhui, and eastward is close to Jiangsu...There are many important towns from Wuchang to Chizhou.
Guo Shao was a bit wondering how Li Chuyun moved so fast, so he hurriedly started to read the report.
Li Chuyun reported that after the Battle of Wuping, he sent a fleet of ships to cruise eastward along the river. Originally, he only wanted to inquire about the movement of the Southern Tang State; he found that the Southern Tang Army tried his best to avoid the river and did not stop him. Li Chuyun guessed that Jinling was afraid of getting angry and was unwilling to easily conflict with the Great Zhou Army.
At this time, the court's order of commendation came, and Li Chuyun was ordered to make a decision on the occasion. At that time, Li Chuyun thought that once Wuchang was attacked, he would declare a state of war, and would stun the snakes; and the Dazhou Army’s goal was Jinling. If the East Road starts from Wuchang to attack the city from the south bank of the river, it will face countless obstacles, especially in the south of Hukou. Tang Guo is heavily armed, it may be difficult to advance east.
So Li Chuyun temporarily adopted a bold strategy and ordered hundreds of navy fleets to go ahead and try to cross the mouth of the lake (the mouth of the Poyang Lake); it was not blocked by the Southern Tang Army. The horse infantry who were preparing to reach Jiangbei rushed to follow up and caught up with the navy from the north bank of the river. The navy soon burned down the weakly guarded Southern Tang Junjun Village in the west of Chizhou. After landing, they raided Chizhou. Chizhou's defenses were relaxed and the city broke for a day. Li Chuyun then used the Jiangxin Sandbank to build a pontoon at Jiajiangkou to mobilize the main force across the river to manage the defense of Chizhou.
Insufficient troops did not dare to divide the troops for advancement, and only occupied Chizhou Kuaima to report and wait for reinforcements.
Guo Shao watched pacing back and forth quickly. Wang Pudao: "Li Chuyun's approach seems to be radical, but in fact he is very thinking about the overall situation.
The evidence of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the Great River Tianmo; the battle of Jiangnan focuses on the navy. If the army of the Central Plains wants to cross the river, they must first fight on the river. The water battle is unfavorable, even if there are millions of cavalry, there is nothing to do. There are two ways for the Central Plains Navy to enter the lower reaches of the river: one is to go down the river from the upper reaches; the other is to go south along the canal of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and cross the river from Guazhou, Yangzhou.
Besides, the navy cannot enter the downstream. Ships can also be built temporarily on the riverside, but the large amount of oak and nanmu needed to build warships needs to be transported by land, and the cost is huge; the wood is not suitable and will be defeated by the Jiangnan navy.
The land and water follow the river from the upper reaches, and it is difficult to rush to the map. As Li Chuyun said, there are many important towns along the road, and it is difficult to break through the mouth of the lake alone. The downstream Guazhou Ferry and Jingkou, namely the Southern Tang State Runzhou (Zhenjiang), have always been a battleground for military strategists; the Southern Tang State will do its best to operate, with numerous naval forces on the river and numerous important towns on the south bank, crossing the river is extremely difficult.
Li Chuyun now occupies Chizhou, east of the most important ferry quarrying in the lower reaches of the river, as long as he has a foothold here, there is a gap in the south of the Yangtze River. The old man remonstrated that he should fully support Li Chuyun immediately and readjust his overall strategy. "
Guo Shao thought for a while, and said: "The main force of Chuyun Li's army is the left arm of the Tiger and Jie Army with 20,000 people. In addition, the Zhoujun Navy in Xiangzhou and Jingnan have seized warships, and Shu has seized more than 300 large and small warships. It’s impossible to provide strong reinforcements on the water for a while. After the capture of Chizhou, the Southern Tang State will definitely block the mouth of the lake... Taking advantage of the Chizhou pontoon bridge is not lost, first adjust the horse and step to help Chizhou hoard grain and grass, in case the river is unfavorable and Li Chuan The South Bank is isolated and helpless."
"This method is very good." Wang Pu pondered for a moment, "At present, Huainan is empty and elite soldiers are gathering in Tokyo. Where can they be deployed for reinforcements?"
Guo Shaodao: "Gao Yanliang's Jiannan Army is in Shouzhou..."
"Shu's troops drop?" Wang Pu's face was uncertain.
Guo Shao hesitated for a moment, and said sternly: "I think Gao Yanjian is a reliable person, besides, there are no elite people nearby to reinforce."
Wang Pu is noncommittal.
At this moment, Zuo You, Zan Jurun and others also came to the lobby, and the crowd exchanged the news.
Guo Shao took a picture and looked at it without saying a word. In his mind, he only relied on Li Chuyun's words to describe the scene of the imagination on the front line. After a while, he picked up a pen and made a mark between Chizhou and Jiujiang, and wrote the word "Wankou". At the moment, I looked through the classified files and found the records inside. A few months ago, the Privy Council ordered Shuzhou Jiedu to build ships in Wanshui... It is the kind of material that is not enough to meet the specifications, and Wang Pu said that it is “defeat”. Battleship.
"Ahem..." Guo Shao made a voice. Everyone stopped talking and turned around.
Guo Shaodao: "I don’t think the initial reinforcements can be delayed, but I can immediately order the Jiannan Army’s left and right side commanders Gao Yanjian to go south in a hurry and follow the dispatch of Li Chuyun, the leader of the West Route Army; separately order the Jiedu ambassadors of the Huainan towns to transfer food to Chizhou. Send soldiers.
Li Chuyun seized the opportunity to advance the war. Although it was a bit hasty, we should make changes at the moment and immediately formulate a strategy centered on Li Chuyun.
The second step is to order the Shuzhou Jiedu to lead the Anhui naval forces into the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Anhui Province to guard against the eastward movement of the Nantang Army at the mouth of the lake in the west, as a deterrent and early warning. It is recommended that Li Chuyun mobilize the Jiannan Army to the west and attack Hukou by land, in order to intimidate the Hukou defenders.
Order the Xiangzhou Jiedu Envoy to deploy to the west, and then send troops to Jiangling Mansion to cross the river, and order Fang, Jun, Deng, Tang, Shen, Sui, An, and Ying to deploy troops and increase food to attack Wuchang Festival. Town; if it takes Wuchang, it will go to Jiangzhou (Jiujiang) and threaten the southern Tang army to the west.
This deployment is to relieve Li Chuyun’s pressure on the west.
In the third step, after Han Tong sailed across the Huaihe River, he immediately went south from Caoqu to Yangzhou, threatening the Southern Tang naval forces in the east, seeking opportunities for a decisive battle; the Queen Mother urged Wu Yueguo to send troops to attack Runzhou. This time, in order to alleviate Li Chuyun's east side water threat.
The fourth step is to mobilize the elite soldiers of the Guards Division to go south to reinforce Chizhou; Jinyan deploys soldiers and horses to guard against the Northern Han Dynasty. Then I and the shogunate of the former camp led the main force of the front division to go south, and coordinated various battles...Goal: Quarry ferry! "
The lobby became silent, because Guo Shao said a lot and everyone was thinking about it. But Wang Pu and Li Gu's eyes on Guo Shao were different from before... After all, Guo Shao is a martial artist, and it is very strange that he can sort out the situation in a short time.
Take one step and move the whole body. Once a war starts, the front line along the river will be turbulent, and wars may occur everywhere that will affect the overall situation. To be able to grasp the center, the key, and the clues from the chaotic situation really requires mind.
Although Guo Shao is a martial artist, his articles and characters are poorly written, but his thinking is not rigid. After all, he has received many years of education and thinking training in modern times, and he still has many ideas.
The powerful master who once was able to master the overall situation, the martial arts and martial arts, and the rich experience is no longer there. Guo Shao is the first to preside over such a big battle; attacking Shu is a completely different experience, because the roads at the immigration department of Shu are narrow and accessible. Single, the difficulty lies in attacking danger rather than deploying. Different from the Southern Tang State, the two-dimensional battles on land and water, with vast fronts and more complicated situations, further test the deployment of decision-makers.
Guo Shao could not determine whether his ideas were useful, because he did not have similar experience. But he has adjusted his mentality during this period of time... There is no way in the world, and there is only a way through. How can one get results without trying?
Seeing that everyone did not speak, he said: "Let’s start now, and Wang Shijun can lower the order to Gao Yanjian. The rest, prepare paper and ink, let’s make a draft first."
At a time when everyone had something to do, they couldn't help but obey Guo Shao's arrangement, and each got busy. On the one hand, Wang Pu sent someone to arrange an envoy to speed up, and on the other hand, he went to the government office to obtain a printing order.
Guo Shao's tone was calm, but his eyes were fluent, he spoke fluently and quickly, and he showed an energetic and clear-headed image. The officials had already trusted him unknowingly.
"Roughly there is a key goal, the quarrying ferry; around a central breakthrough, Li Chuyun Department. Then divided into four steps, the first step, our shogunate has been granted the power to grant troops to the queen mother, has already decided to implement." Guo Shao left You said, "Zuo Shaoqing is here to write the overall combat program...Others write the steps from front to back, and I will describe them separately. First make a draft, and then discuss to check for missing vacancies; after perfecting, I will report to the DPRK tomorrow morning. The Queen Mother and the central ministers will determine the implementation plan."
Wang Pu took the palm of his hand and returned to the lobby after finishing the business. He checked the files compiled some time ago, thinking about Guo Shao's strategy.
The entire draft is not too long. Everyone repeated the inferences and checked them carefully after dissolution. Noon and dinner were eaten at the front office of the palace. Guo Shao and Wang Pu also stayed in the suites of the government office at night to save time back and forth.
Li Chuyun’s method of work undoubtedly pushed the war into a tense atmosphere at once; major events are often decisive at the beginning, because as the situation develops, the road will become narrower and the result will become clearer. Controllability is very small.
