Chapter 68 The situation in Huainan
Yuan Shu held high position and later he was granted the title of a general to be a conferred man under his command.
The list of enthrones is as follows:
"Take Ji Ling as the General of the Central Army in Zhenwei."
"Taking Zhang Xun as the general of the Northern Expedition, he led elite troops to guard the Shangcai area in Runan to defend against threats from the north."
"Bao Rui was appointed as the general of the Western Expedition, and led more than 3,000 people to station in the western part of Runan to prevent Liu Biao from Jingxiang."
"With Yuan Yao as the general, he led more than 10,000 troops to station in Chengde south of Shouchun."
"Please Yuan Yin as the General of Jianwei."
"Taking Deng Dang as the general, he commanded the old troops to garrison Shouchun."
"Using Huang Zhong as the lieutenant to attack the enemy, commanding the soldiers of the First Battalion, he belonged to Yuan Yao's subordinates to obey orders."
"Taking Zhou Tai as the army's Sima, coordinating the soldiers of the two ministries, and obeying orders to Yuan Yao."
"Take Xu Chu as the general of the Central Army and obey the orders of Yuan Yao."
After reading a series of lists, the generals were granted a title, and almost everyone's faces were filled with joy.
Moreover, Yuan Shu also thought about the gift for a long time.
Given that his son Yuan Yao was already the leader of the first army, he would lead the army to fight in various places at any time, and he took great pains to absolutely protect his safety.
It can be seen from the unified transfer of the powerful generals such as Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai and Xu Chu to the commander under Yuan Yao.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu gave the other person another gift:
"The Chief Secretary Yang Hong, the position of the chief Yan Xiang remains unchanged, and he will still be appointed as the General's Office."
"Shu Zhongying was the governor of Jiujiang County and was responsible for all matters within the county."
"The official appointment of Liu Fu as the Shouchun Order, in charge of people's livelihood and conducts military farming."
"I was promoted to Gongcao, and I assisted in government and peace in the people in my spare time, and obeyed orders from Yuan Yaoping to various places during the war."
Generals such as Leju, Liang Gang, and Liu Xiang who had suffered major defeats in the Battle of Kuangting have gradually been alienated by Yuan Shu and gradually faded out of sight.
The matter of the licensing is slowly over and comes to an end.
...
Everyone retreated.
Yuan Yao just gathered with his father Yuan Shu and his master Yan Xiang to discuss the next strategic plan.
First of all, Yuan Yao naturally stood up and said loudly with confidence: "Father, after the child was conquering Jiujiang County and recovering Shouchun City, he was thinking about the strategic plan of the southern expedition carefully."
"Nanzheng?"
After a while, Yuan Shu asked in a deep voice: "Yaoer, do you intend to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, are you?"
"That's right!"
"Father, the child is doing this."
Seeing that his father had guessed his intentions, Yuan Yao responded confidently, with a strong look of joy on his face.
Then he slowly waved his hand to the map scattered above the table shore and whispered: "Father, please carefully observe that the geographical environment of the prefectures and counties we are currently in a situation where all sides are enemies."
"Although the Jianghuai land can be used as a foundation, it cannot stop at the forefront!"
"Our military needs to control the entire Yangzhou county before we can use Shouchun as the base camp and then use this as the center to sweep the Central Plains."
Speaking of this, Yuan Yao paused a little and waited for his father to digest it before continuing: "Now, except for the Xuzhou Tao Qian in the east, who temporarily joined our army to fight against Cao Cao, the rest of the parties almost bordered the enemy."
"Besides, Chen Wen, the current governor of Yangzhou, still fled to Liyang, who was on the bank of the Yangtze River, and was breathing. Although this person was not worth worrying, the position of governor he was once a imperial sect in the imperial court."
"If we don't kill it for a day, then our army will occupy Huainan and it will be truly nameless."
"Of course, this is only part of the factor. The child's original intention is to defeat Liyang and use it as the base camp of Jiangbei, and then send troops across the river to attack the six counties in Jiangdong to seize Yangzhou to complete the closed loop."
The most important part of Yuan Yao’s plan to capture Huainan is to take Wu as the foundation.
Although Jiang and Huai have a superior geographical location and are extremely rich, they are the first strategic location to bear the brunt of the Central Plains. If they advance, they can face the counties in the Central Plains. If they retreat, they can rely on the densely distributed developed water system of the Huai River to build a solid defense line to protect Jiangdong and then protect the entire Yangzhou.
But if you only occupy Huainan without striving for progress, it would be tantamount to kill yourself and bury yourself a beautiful grave.
Because Huainan is the place of the six battles.
The east, west, south and north all border external prefectures and counties.
In addition, you can also enter the sea from Guangling or enter the Yangtze River to directly take the Jianghuai area.
Therefore, Jianghuai can only serve as an outpost, but cannot be used as its foundation independently.
The way to win is to take the six counties in Jiangdong as the basis and the Huainan as the route of the Northern Expedition.
This is also why Yuan Yao wanted to seize the land of Jianghuai first.
If you want to conquer the world, you must occupy the counties in Jiangbei.
If only the six counties in Jiangdong were occupied, the opportunity for progress would be lost and would be no different from the Sun Wu regime in the original history.
The words are over.
The Lord Bo Yan Xiang on one side also bowed and agreed: "Young Master said it is reasonable. If our army is dominated by Huainan, it needs to be supported by the population of the six counties in Jiangdong and taxes, so the southern expedition is imperative!"
Yan Xiang had a good vision and could naturally see through this layer, so he couldn't help but agree with Yuan Yao's resolution.
At the same time, he also analyzed the current situation: "But, our army wants to cross the river and advance the six counties in Jiangdong to achieve the achievements of expanding territory, but it must first consolidate the counties in Jiangbei. Otherwise, it may be difficult to establish an effective base camp to conquer all parties."
"But according to the current situation, the situation in some areas of Jiujiang, Lujiang and other counties is still too chaotic, with bandits, chivalrous men, and various powerful armed forces separatist. They are self-organized, so our army may find it difficult to completely rectify it in a short period of time."
"This may delay the opportunity for our army to fight in the south!"
The next second, Yan Xiang asked this question incisively.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but ask the Prime Minister, looking at a questioning countermeasures and said, "I don't know if Yao'er can deal with what Master Yan said?"
"none!"
After saying that, Yuan Yao responded directly.
Just when Yuan Shu heard the answer, he felt a little disappointed, Yuan Yao continued to say: "Since these forces are all separating the country and have already formed their own body. If they are eliminated by force, it will inevitably take time and effort. They will never clear the various places in a short time and make them safe."
"It's like Zheng Bao, a wealthy clan who is lying in Chaohu Lake. Lujiang Lei Bo and Mei Cheng all have troops on their own and their power is extremely strong, so the child thinks that the force of the fight is not advisable."
"What should I do with Yao'er's opinion?"
Yuan Shu asked for advice with a sigh.
At this point, perhaps even Yuan Shu himself did not expect that he would gradually become dependent on his son Yuan Yao.
As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Yao responded without hesitation: "Give kindness and power to accumulate reputation, recruit the Jianghuai soldiers to use it for themselves, and then use force and attack the hearts of the people, and win over and disintegrate the hearts of all forces."
Yuan Yao finished his solemn statement.
In his opinion, it is not advisable to simply use force to attack all forces in the Jianghuai area, and it is difficult to take into account both, and it takes too long.
For Yuan Yao, it is necessary to stabilize the counties in Huainan as soon as possible, and then pacify the six counties in Jiangdong as soon as possible, and then quickly accumulate strength. When the troops are strong and food are sufficient, take advantage of the situation to launch a large-scale northern expedition to the Central Plains states again.
It depends on one battle.
If time is delayed, once there is a change in the north, there is no time to make any preparations.
In this way, you will miss the general trend!
