Chapter 107 Reflection (Monthly ticket plus update!)
...

Chen Kuutong knew that the biggest problem for Huben Army now was the serious lack of talents.

Civil servant?

It seems that there are quite a few literati in the Huben Army, but many of them are alienated from the Huben Army and cannot be reused.

General?

Even Niu Meng and Zhao Han'er, who are at most qualified to unify the army (500 people), have been trained and used by Li Cun as generals. It can be seen from this that what level of Li Cun's generals are generals.

In Chen Kuutong's view, Li Cun's shoulders, which are not too generous, really bear too much.

Chen Kuutong even felt that this might be the reason why Li Cun was reluctant to kill the talented Yuwen Huangzhong.

Chen Kuutong said softly: "Don't be impatient, Chief Governor. Our Huben Army has never been here for only half a year. The Chief Governor is enough to stand out from the crowd. This world must belong to the Chief Governor."

After listening to Chen Kuutong's comfort, Li Cun turned his head and asked with a smile, "Oh? How long does the military adviser think it will take for me to win this world?"

Chen Kuutong felt that Li Cun should be given some confidence at this time, so he said optimistically: "Ten years! In ten years, the governor of the capital will eventually become one!"

"Ten years... so long?"

"Uh……"

Chen Kuutong was stunned for a moment!
After reacting for a while, Chen Kuutong didn't know what to say about Li Cun.

This is fighting the world, my great governor, ten years, is it a long time?
You must know, Chief Governor, you are neither from a wealthy family nor have you survived many lifetimes.

Moreover, the world is not in chaos yet, so you can ask the governor to draw chestnuts out of the fire.

Now, Chief Governor, you are starting from scratch, fighting against a dynasty that has existed for almost 200 years.

In this case, if the governor is not wiped out by Zhao Song in a short time, just have fun.

When the world is in chaos in the future, you have already accumulated enough fame and the capital to build a country, and then you will rise to the top and lead the heroes of the world to overthrow the decadent and dark Zhao Song rule, so that you can really get the world.

But it was not easy for Chen Houtong to tell Li Cun these words - he was afraid of dispelling Li Cun's enthusiasm.

Chen Kuutong organized his speech for a while, and said: "In history, Tang Gaozu was the fastest emperor. Gaozu inherited the title at the age of seven, and his grandfather Li Hu and grandfather Dugu belonged to the Bazhu Kingdom. Gaozu's father Li Yan, Northern Zhou Yushi doctor, Anzhou general manager, and Zhu Guo general, who succeeded Tang Guogong. Gaozu's mother, Sui Wendi Empress Dugu Jialuo's sister. The two aunts were the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty empresses. Therefore, Gaozu was born Imperial Capital."

After a pause, Chen Kuotong went on to say: "However, Gaozu also waited until the end of the Sui Dynasty when the world was in chaos. In September, he could ascend the throne and become emperor. At the beginning of Gaozu's ascension to the throne, he was limited to Guanzhong and Hedong. The world is mixed."

In Li Cun's heart, he compared Li Yuan with himself. The territory he had built was not as large as Li Yuan's, but it was only a little over half a year since his uprising. As for his family background...it really can't be compared.

Chen Kuutong also said: "In history, excluding the first emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenjue, the youngest founding emperor was Gao Yangye, the founding emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty."

After a pause, Chen Kuutong continued: "However, Gao Yang is the second son of Gao Huan, a power minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. When his father was alive, the Gao family was already in power in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. It is only a matter of time before the country is established and proclaimed emperor."

Speaking of this, Chen Kuutong's tone slowed down: "Shengde Lingwei, Longxing Fengju, the ninth grandson of Emperor Han Gao, Guangwu still needs to ascend the throne three years after the uprising, and he will be a mixed one at the end of 14 years. The year of the establishment has also passed, and the eldest governor is ten years old."

I heard that the son of Liu Xiu's plane had to ascend the throne at the age of 30, and complete the unification of the world at the age of 44.

Think again about Lao Zhu, who is in a similar situation to myself. He started the incident at the age of 25, fought in the South and North for 16 years, and only completed the unification at the age of 41.

Li Cun began to reflect:
Today, I have 50 Song soldiers in the front and 100 million Fang Layi soldiers in the future, but they occupy a small area of ​​​​a few states. What qualifications do I have to consider conquering the world?

The most important thing I should think about now is how to live.

You know, just this morning, I only let go of seven or eight thousand Western troops, and I almost lost the battle.

To be honest, the current Huben Army still lacks tempering from top to bottom.

Moreover, since ancient times, as long as the enemy army crossed the Yangtze River, the regime in the Liangzhe and Zhejiang regions was basically given for nothing.

Could it be true that Song Jun would never be able to cross the Yangtze River?

Also, are Fang Lana's millions of rebels really so vulnerable?

The key point is that without going through the battle of recovering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Jurchen invaded the south several times, and letting that idiot Zhao Huan be emperor for more than a year, the foundation of Zhao Song would not have been fundamentally shaken.

Nowadays, people in the world still favor the Song Dynasty. Not many people really want to be emperor. In the eyes of the people in the world, I am always a traitor, not a savior to save them. Now I am completely going against the trend.

Thinking back, since the uprising, I have done those things, killing men, robbing women, asking for what I see, how much hatred I have forged? !

If one day, I lose, how will others treat me?
Li Cun asked himself and answered: "It is estimated that blood for blood, tooth for tooth."

On the road of murder and rebellion, Li Cun is definitely not afraid of death.

But the question is, what about my hundreds of women?And what about the twenty or so children in their womb?
Li Cun felt that he should not be so optimistic. He had to think about defeat before thinking about victory, and think about failure before thinking about failure. In this way, if he really lost, he could make a comeback.

Moreover, if I can ensure that the Huben Army has no worries in the rear, the cohesion of the Huben Army will definitely be stronger...

While Li Cun was thinking, Chen Kuutong didn't bother Li Cun.

——Chen Kuutong knew that Li Cun's next decision might affect the life and death of Huben Army, so he must not interfere with Li Cun at this time.

in fact--

Li Cun's original plan was to wipe out all the ships of the Song army and prevent the Song army from crossing the river for a short time, then return to Hangzhou to deal with Fang La, send Fang La to the Jingxiang area for development, and temporarily defend his west side. The hard-to-attack Jiangnan is its own border, and then southern Zhejiang and Fujian will be beaten down, and the south will be bordered by Fenshui Pass in Fujian.

To put it bluntly, Li Cun is going to take down the six counties in Jiangdong during the Three Kingdoms period first, as the foundation for him to conquer the world.

But Chen Kuutong woke up Li Cun, making Li Cun realize that he can't act like a crazy gambler and give away everything he owns.

Therefore, Li Cun decided to adjust his strategy.

Specifically, first go to Fujian by surprise, take Fujian down, and then attack the Fanglayi army in southern Zhejiang with the Huben army who stayed in Hangzhou, regain the southern Zhejiang area, and at the same time build Fujian and Taiwan behind it into a stable rear for yourself No worries, and have enough strategic depth, and the capital to make a comeback if you lose, and then go to the west of Zhejiang...

……

Li Cun has never been an indecisive person.

Moreover, in the current period when every second counts, Li Cun cannot help being indecisive.

Therefore, after making up his mind, Li Cun ordered Niu Meng to garrison Jiangning Mansion and Zhao Haner garrison Zhenjiang, leaving 2 horses for each of them, and [-] warships, more than [-] small boats, and [-] troops for each of them. The navy, and then led the [-] navy, [-] army, all craftsmen (and their families), [-] civilian husbands (and their families), and a large amount of food and grass to form an extremely large fleet down the river to the east. into the sea, and then go straight to Quanzhou...
