After some discussion.

Yuan Jun’s strategic plan has been decided.

Later, General Yuan Shu agreed to his son Yuan Yao's plan to continue the southern expedition.

Yuan Yao and more than 10,000 soldiers from his headquarters were ordered to enter Chengde City, an important city south of Shouchun.

Chengde is located in the most developed water system in the Huaihe River Basin. Its abundant water resources are conducive to irrigating farmland and increasing fishery output. Most of the local people are extremely wealthy.

And this place has always been called the "land of fish and rice."

Because of this, success is also extremely rich.

Not only that, this place is located in Jiujiang County. The terrain is flat and the roads are connected to all the lower parts. It is located at a key node between the tributaries of the Huai River flowing. Merchants from south and north who travel to and from south to north need to pass through.

With the advantages of geographical advantages, its local economy has always remained high and was extremely prosperous.

Yuan Yao planned to establish the strategy of the Southern Expedition, and the first thing he planned was to seize it.

Three days.

Yuan Yao led the main infantry and cavalry of the headquarters to march from Shouchun to Chengde, and seized the city without any effort.

This is also the reason for the extremely empty city defense.

Because Chen Wen, the former governor of Yangzhou, heard that Deng Dang was holding on for more than a month, finally led his troops to surrender to Yuan's army, and Shouchun went down without fighting, he was also afraid in his heart and almost without hesitation.

There was no soldiers guarding the city.

For Chen Wen, Yuan Jun, who won the battles and conquered Zhucheng, was an existence that he could not reach.

This made him completely lose the courage to resist.

It can be said that he had stepped forward by Yuan Jun, but he retreated by a step backward.

Otherwise, why did he flee to Liyang on the edge of the Yangtze River?

Isn’t it just that if Yuan’s army continues to move south and things cannot be done in time, he can take a boat to cross the river and enter the Yangtze River again and continue to survive in the south?

After snatching Chengde, in a moment, the flag "Yuan" was immediately raised on the top of the city.

I saw the flag swaying with the strong wind and fluttering on the city wall, filling the extremely strong murderous aura that covered the entire city's soldiers.

At this moment, Yuan Yao was wearing a fiery red battle robe, with a sharp sword hanging on his waist, standing side by side with Cui Zhouping.

The two chatted with each other.

"Sir, now that our army has recovered Chengde City. When I was heading south, my plan was to defeat Chengde, so I continued to lead the crowd to attack Liyang day and night, and took this opportunity to take the lead to kill Chen Wen first, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

After a speech fell, and before Cui Zhouping could respond, Yuan Yao continued to say: "But in recent days, Yao observed the terrain here, this place is really an excellent treasure land."

"The terrain here is so flat and is in a critical section of the Huai River. Sir, do you think if our army can cultivate farms here, will the grain output be significantly improved by then?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhouping smiled and said, "Young Master, your vision is indeed meticulous, which is also the terrain feature of this place that Jun has discovered in the past few days."

"And, it is only one aspect that benefits the farming. The key is that Hefei is more than dozens of miles south of Chengde. I heard that Zheng Bao, a rich man from Chaohu, is extremely powerful and is dominated by the local area, and is almost unstoppable!"

"If our army can enter Hefei with the flow, connect Chengde and Hefei into a line, and then connect it with fertilizer and water to build a line of defense, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

As soon as these words fell, Yuan Yao's thoughts suddenly became enlightened.

yes!

Entering the Feishui line, this move seems ordinary, but in fact it is a wonderful move.

The source of fertilizer and water comes from Huai River, passes through Chengde, Hefei, Liyang and other places, and then flows into the rolling Yangtze River waters.

The fat water just passes through the middle of Chaohu Lake, and it happens that Hefei is the center point.

If we can really control fertilizer and water by controlling fertilizers and water, we will almost cover the entire Chaohu Lake in a semicircular way.

After a solid defense line is constructed along the Hefei line.

Then, no matter how powerful Zheng Bao's power is, it will be just a piece of meat in Yuan Jun's mouth, and he can swallow it in one bite if he wants to eat it.

Under the protection of Hefei, you can also adopt the tactics of attacking Chaohu and defending when you advance or retreat.

The initiative will be firmly held in your palm and will be invincible at any time.

With Cui Zhouping's advice, Yuan Yao also understood it at one point, and immediately emerged one after another, extending many ideas.

Zheng Bao, a wealthy family entrenched in Chaohu area of ​​Jiujiang County, and bandits such as Lei Bo and Mei Cheng from Lujiang County can almost be said to be the most powerful people in the counties in Jiangbei.

This is extremely difficult and easy to solve.

Even though Yuan Yao's words were swearing and saying that it was easy to integrate the forces in Huainan, this was just to appease everyone's hearts.

In fact, it is not so easy to integrate all parties.

only.

Nowadays, with Cui Zhouping's reminder, Yuan Yao has opened up his ideas for Zheng Bao.

"Mr. I am very kind. Yao originally thought hard about how to integrate the forces in the prefectures and counties after all the counties in the Jianghuai County. When dealing with them, you learned about the terrain here in a very short time and conceived a plan for me."

"With your talent, Yaoneng is really lucky to get help from his wife!"

At the end of the conversation, Yuan Yao's smile on his face also became even brighter.

"Young Master is over-reputable."

At this moment, Yuan Yao thought of constructing a fat water defense line, and his thoughts in his mind couldn't help but think of Shouchun Ling Liu Fu again.

"Maybe this matter needs to be bothered by him."

After all, in the original history, Liu Fu built an empty city in Hefei, established a prefecture, improved laws and order, and built the defense on the front line of Hefei into a solid foundation, making full preparations for the subsequent outbreak of the war between Wei and Wu.

After thinking about this, Yuan Yao suddenly thought that it seemed that when the battle came to an end, he had to find time to ask his father for transfer and order Liu Fu to enter Hefei.

With his outstanding internal affairs and his virtues, this large and excellent treasure land in Hefei is here. After several years, there will be sufficient food and fodder.

The terrain near Chengde is flat, and most of the fields are close to the major water tributaries of the Huai River, making it an excellent place for military farmland.

By adjusting Liu Fu here, the defense and agriculture on the front line will inevitably develop rapidly.

This is a matter of winning multiple goals in one go.

The more Yuan Yao thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible. He had already made a secret decision in his heart that he could take action after he captured and killed Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen first.

As for building a front-line defense, it must be carried out steadily. You cannot act too quickly. You must erode and advance step by step. If you make a big fuss, you will directly expose your intentions.

Then Zheng Bao would not be indifferent, and would definitely gather his troops to invade him.

...

Thinking of this, Yuan Yao's face was filled with an increasingly bright smile and said, "Sir, in order to implement the development and construction matters here as soon as possible, Yao Si has made a plan and wants to select an elite force to attack Liyang. He will capture and kill Chen Wen before he could react."
