Soon after, Fu Jinzhan was awarded the Grand Marshal of the World of Military Affairs. Guo Shao then asked for an order to establish a temporary military palace on the south side of the front office of the Palace, called the Jiangnan Forebuying Shogunate, which was specifically responsible for the Southern Tang war.
The Privy Councilor Wang Pu, who was in charge of military seals and presided over all matters, included Prime Minister Li Gu, Taichang Temple Minister Zuo You, Kaifeng Prefecture Left Office Officer Huang Binglian, Guzhou Provincial Envoy Zan Jurun, and two officials, including Privy Councilor, and dozens of officials.
Everyone collected and sorted out information, formulated strategies, and began to prepare for the war against the Southern Tang Kingdom step by step.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guo Shao suddenly received news: Li Chuyun captured Chizhou!
Guo Shao was sitting in the shogunate lobby. He was really stunned when he heard Wang Pu's words. He quickly turned around and confirmed on the picture behind him, and turned to look at Wang Pu: Chizhou?I heard it correctly?
Wang Pu is not a person who is used to joking, and his expression is also very serious: The report that the Privy Council just received was Chizhou, Chizhou in the south of Shouzhou!The report is in my hands, Guo Du checks and finds it out.
Wang Pu came forward and handed the report to Guo Shao.When Guo Shao got the thing, he did not forget to look back and confirm the location.
This... As the saying goes, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Seeing the location of Chizhou will indeed make people feel incredible!
After Li Chuyun destroyed Zhou Xingfeng, the main force was originally in the Dongting Lake area of Hunan Province; what Guo Shao originally hoped was that Li Chuyun's troops would go east along the river and occupy Wuchangjie Town, which had relatively weak troops (the suggestion of the Southern Tang general Lin Renzhao was not adopted, and he himself was transferred back to Jinling); then, with Wuchang as a stronghold, the water and land were down the river, and the early purpose was to give the Southern Tang Kingdom pressure to the west to deal with the main force of the South Tang army centered on Hongzhou (Nanchang).
Wuchangjie Town is in Hubei. Along the Yangtze River, there are Jiujiang and Poyang Lake in Jiangxi, Chizhou is in Anhui, and it is close to Jiangsu to the east... There are many important towns and strongholds from Wuchang to Chizhou.
Guo Shao was a little puzzled why Li Chuyun moved so quickly, so he hurriedly started the report and read it.
Li Chuyun reported that after the Battle of Wuping, he sent a fleet to cruise east along the river. He originally wanted to inquire about the movements of the Southern Tang Kingdom; he found that the Southern Tang army tried his best to avoid it on the river, but did not stop it.
Li Chuyun guessed that Jinling was afraid of causing trouble and was unwilling to easily conflict with the Great Zhou army.
At this time, the imperial court's commendation order came, and Li Chuyun was ordered to make the decision at the moment.
Li Chuyun thought at that time that he would declare a state of war once he attacked Wuchang, which would alarm the enemy; and the target of the Great Zhou army was Jinling. If the eastern road starts from Wuchang to attack cities and villages from the south bank of the Yangtze River, he will face countless obstacles, especially with heavy troops from the Southern Tang Kingdom in Hukou, it may be difficult to advance eastward.
So Li Chuyun temporarily adopted a bold strategy and ordered hundreds of naval fleets to go first and try to cross the Hukou (the mouth of the Poyang Lake in the river); indeed, it was not blocked by the Southern Tang army.
The horse and infantry army prepared to follow up quickly and caught up with the navy from the north bank of the river.
The navy soon burned down the unscrupulous Southern Tang army camp on the west side of Chizhou. After landing, it raided Chizhou. Chizhou was relaxed in defense and broke the city in one day.
Li Chuyun then built a floating bridge at the Jiajiangkou with the sandbank in the middle of the river, mobilizing the main force to cross the river to manage the defense of Chizhou.
He did not dare to divide his troops to advance if he was insufficient, and he only occupied Chizhou's fast horses and reported to him to wait for reinforcements.
After seeing this, Guo Shao paced back and forth quickly.Wang Pu said: Li Chuyun’s approach seems to be rushing, but in fact he has great overall thoughts.
The Southern Tang Dynasty's escort was the Great Chain; the Battle of Jiangnan was focused on the navy.
The Central Plains army wanted to cross the river, so they had to fight on the river first. The water battle was not good, and even if there were millions of iron cavalry, there was no way to do it.
The Central Plains naval army wanted to enter the lower reaches of the river, and there were two roads: one, down the river from the upper reaches; the other, head south along the Jianghuai canal, and cross into the river from Yangzhou Guazhou.
Apart from this, the navy cannot enter the downstream.
Ships can also be built temporarily by the river, but a large amount of oak and nanmu are required to build warships, which requires transportation by land, which is very expensive; if the wood is not suitable, it will be defeated by the Jiangnan navy.
It is difficult to make a quick trip from the upper reaches of the river. As Li Chuyun reported, there are many important towns along the road, and it is difficult to break through Hukou alone.
The lower reaches of Guazhou Du and Jingkou, namely Runzhou (Zhenjiang), the Southern Tang Kingdom, have always been a place that military strategists must fight for; the Southern Tang Kingdom is fully committed to its operations, with many naval troops on the river and many important towns on the south bank, making it extremely difficult to cross the river.
Today, Li Chuyun occupied Chizhou and was close to the most important ferry crossing in the lower reaches of the east. As long as he gained a foothold here, he would have a gap in the south of the Yangtze River.I should immediately support Li Chuyun and readjust the overall strategy.
Guo Shao thought for a while and said: The main force of the Land Division of Chuyun's army was the Long Jie Army's right wing 20,000 people, and the Zhou Navy in Xiangzhou, Jingnan, and more than 300 warships of all sizes and sizes were seized by Shu.The water was unable to provide strong reinforcements for a while. After capturing Chizhou, the Southern Tang Kingdom would definitely blockade Hukou... While the buoyant bridge in Chizhou was not lost, we would first transfer horses and rush to help and stockpile food and grass in Chizhou, in case the river was unfavorable and Li Chuyun was isolated on the south bank without help.
This method is very good.Wang Pu pondered for a moment. Huainan is currently empty and elite soldiers gathered in Tokyo. Where can I send troops to reinforce?
Guo Shao said: Gao Yanqi's Jiannan Army is in Shouzhou...
Shu Kingdom surrendered troops?Wang Pu's face was gloomy and clear.
Guo Shao hesitated for a moment and said seriously: I think Gao Yanjun is reliable, and there are no elite troops who can provide reinforcements nearby.
Wang Pu did not comment.
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. He only relied on Li Chuyun's words to describe the scene on the front line.
After a while, he picked up his pen and marked the place between Chizhou and Jiujiang, writing the word "Ankou".
Now I read it in the classified files and found the records inside. The Privy Council ordered the Shuzhou Jiedushi to build ships in the Anhui River several months ago... It is the kind of warship that is not enough for the materials and Wang Pu's words to be defeated.
Cough cough... Guo Shao made a sound.Everyone stopped talking and turned around.
Guo Shao said: I don’t think the advance reinforcement should be delayed. I can immediately order Gao Yanqi, the commander of the left and right sides of the Jiannan Army, to go south quickly and obey the orders of Li Chuyun, the leader of the Western Route Army; and ordered the Jiedushi of Huainan towns to transfer grain to Chizhou to send troops.
Li Chuyun seized the opportunity to fight and advanced the war. Although it was a bit hasty, we should make adjustments on the occasion and immediately formulate a strategy centered on Li Chuyun's troops.
The second step was ordered to lead the Anhui River Army from Anhuikou to the Yangtze River to prevent the Tang army from going east to the south of Hukou to the west, as a result of blocking and early warning.
It is recommended that Li Chuyun mobilize the Jiannan Army to the west and make a situation of attacking Hukou by land to intimidate the defenders of Hukou.
The governor of Xiangzhou was ordered to deploy troops to the west and immediately send troops to Jiangling Prefecture to cross the river. He also ordered Fang, Jun, Deng, Tang, Shen, Sui, An and Ying to dispatch troops to transfer grain and reinforcements to attack Wuchang Jiezhen; if Wuchang is taken, he 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 side.
In the third step, after Han Tong's navy crossed the Huaihe River, he immediately went south from the canal to Yangzhou, threatening the eastern Southern Tang naval army, looking for an opportunity to fight to the decisive battle; he advised the Empress Dowager to issue an order to urge Wu and Yue to send troops to attack Runzhou.
This time, in order to alleviate the threat on the water east of Li Chuyun.
The fourth step is to mobilize the elite troops of the Guards to go south and then reinforce Chizhou; to advise the Queen Mother to deploy troops to guard against the Northern Han Dynasty.Then I and the former camp and the shogunate officials led the main force of the Hall of the Former Division to go south and coordinate various battles in the last battle... Target: Caishi 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 at Guo Shao were different from before... After all, Guo Shao is a martial artist, and it is very strange that he can clear the situation in a short time.
Once the war begins, the front line along the river will be in turmoil, and wars may occur everywhere to affect the overall situation.It really takes a mind to be able to grasp the center, key and clues from the chaotic situation.
Although Guo Shao is a martial artist and his writing is very poor, his thinking is not rigid. After all, he has received many years of education and thinking training in modern times, and he still has a lot of ideas.
The powerful master who was able to master the overall situation, have rich experience in civil and military affairs, is no longer there. This is the first time that Guo Shao has presided over such a big battle situation; attacking Shu was a completely different experience, because the road to the entry of Shu was narrow and the path was single, and the difficulty was to attack danger rather than deployment.
The Southern Tang Kingdom is different, with two-dimensional operations in water and land, with vast fronts and relatively complex situations, which further tests the deployment of decision makers.
Guo Shao could not determine whether his ideas were useful because he had no similar experience.
But he has adjusted his mentality during this period... There is no road in the world, and only after walking through it can he have a road. How can he get the result without trying?
Seeing that everyone did not speak, he said: Let’s start now, and the envoy Wang immediately issued a order to Gao Yanqi.For the rest of the people, prepare paper and ink, let’s make a draft first.
For a moment, everyone had something to do, and involuntarily followed Guo Shao's arrangements and started to work hard.While sending someone to arrange for the official to be quick, Wang Pu went to the government office to get the seal and write the transfer order.
Guo Shao's tone was calm, but his eyes were clear, his words were fluent and fast, showing an image of energetic and clear mind. The officials had already trusted him unknowingly.
There is roughly a key goal, the quarry ferry; around a central breakthrough, Li Chuyun's army.Then we divide it into four steps. The first step is that our shogunate has been granted military power by the empress dowager and has made decisions and implemented it.Guo Shao said to Zuo You, Zuo Shaoqing comes to write the overall combat program... Others write their own steps from front to back, and I will tell you separately.First make a draft, and then discuss to check for omissions; after improvement, we will go to the court early tomorrow morning to report to the empress dowager and the central officials to determine the implementation plan.
Wang Pu took the seal and returned to the lobby after finishing the work. He checked the files compiled some time ago, while thinking about the strategy proposed by Guo Shao.
The entire draft is not long, everyone repeatedly inferred and checked it carefully after it was disbanded.
I ate at the Palace Front Office at noon and dinner. Guo Shao, Wang Pu and several others also lived in the suites of the government office at night to save time back and forth.
Li Chuyun's method 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, the results will become clearer, and the controllability will be very small.
The Privy Councilor Wang Pu, who was in charge of military seals and presided over all matters, included Prime Minister Li Gu, Taichang Temple Minister Zuo You, Kaifeng Prefecture Left Office Officer Huang Binglian, Guzhou Provincial Envoy Zan Jurun, and two officials, including Privy Councilor, and dozens of officials.
