The Battle of Guandu was in full swing, but the military and political court's attention was not focused here at all.

Although the situation looks very good, everyone knows that it is just a temporary solution and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

The real trouble was Huang Taiji and Dorgon.

Although they controlled the two men at the first possible moment, they were also extremely afraid that they might cause trouble.

They never forgot that Qingting was equipped with remote projection technology.

There has always been a debate about the God of War.

That is whether the God of War can crush a commander of a large army with a huge advantage without using his talent.

This is also one of the few things that the Military and Political Court cannot predict the outcome of.

Now, the Qing court has concentrated a large number of military forces, which in itself is a huge hidden danger for them.

Moreover, if Huang Taiji chose to abandon the capital and went directly to the southern army alone, their situation would instantly become passive.

They are now simply using the importance of the capital to restrain Huang Taiji's choice.

But once Huang Taiji discovered a fatal threat, he would choose to abandon the capital without hesitation.

According to the analysis of the Military and Political Court, Huang Taiji did not attach much importance to the capital.

What they really care about is the rebellion of Han officers and the security of their ancestral land.

So Yue Zhongqi was executed not only because he had the potential to rebel.

There is another reason, that is because Yue Zhongqi possesses the ability of a military god, Huang Taiji has always wanted to eliminate this hidden danger.

For them, maintaining their own rule is far more important than having another military god to help them break the impasse.

This also indirectly shows that Huang Taiji is very confident about the situation and believes that there are other ways to break the impasse.

This is also the reason why Bai Qi only surrounded the enemy but did not rush to attack.

Just like playing cards, Xinghan has been playing his cards with great force, but the Qing army only played one or two cards to defuse the fatal crisis, obviously holding back a big one.

Everyone is waiting, so the situation turns into a strategic stalemate and begins to test each other's ability to withstand pressure.

It is obvious that the Qing army has a solid foundation. They have been losing and dying, but they can still mobilize a large number of soldiers at any time.

Moreover, the troubles that Xinghan faces are far more than this. The larger the territory they occupy, the more troubles they will have.

The people under the rule of the Qing Dynasty would not directly line the streets to welcome them just because they were Han people.

The soldiers who died in the war inevitably made the people full of hatred towards Xinghan.

This kind of hatred is difficult to resolve, but Xinghan cannot commit the cruel act of massacre.

And the massacre might only arouse more hatred.

Therefore, Xinghan can only adopt a half-hard and half-soft strategy, first changing the lives of these people, establishing their credibility, in order to resolve and eliminate hatred.

But those terrorists hiding among the people make the occupied areas of Xinghan feel like they are being roasted on the fire every day.

What's worse is that although Xinghan has tried his best to block the Qing army's possible support routes.

However, the Qing army still had some special legions that used various means to gather towards the Central Plains from places that were difficult to advance in the conventional sense.

Cross the Himalayas and enter the Central Plains from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

What's more, there are even some that go around the Arctic Circle and move southward from northern Eastern Europe.

However, these legions are just individual phenomena and do not have much impact on the overall situation, but it is also quite bad news.

"How is the war going over there in the Bering Strait?"

"It's terrible. There is also a legion with White Disaster-like abilities on the other side. The upper limit of what the White Disaster Legion can exert in that area is too strong!"

"Do you want to join the First Yellow Sky Army?"

"Not right. Once the First Huang Tian is involved, it is very likely to trigger a chain reaction across the board! It is very likely to directly kick off the prelude to the decisive battle!"

"What should we do then? Should we allow the Bering Strait to advance?"

"Don't worry about Guan Yu. He has the support of the Tianzhou. It won't be a problem for him to cut off the reinforcements from the Beiling Strait."

"The problem now is still with Silla and Baekje!"

The military and political courts were almost in chaos, with a group of advisers frantically deducing the battle situation.

When the plan was first formulated, there was insufficient intelligence, which led to loopholes in many aspects.

Although they had largely completed their first phase of the mission, these loopholes prevented their plan from moving on to the second phase.

On the one hand, they now have to look forward to the battle results of the soldiers on the front line, and on the other hand, they have to think of every possible way to break the deadlock.

The first flaw in the expedition against the Qing army was that we did not expect the Qing army's navy to be so powerful.

Even if Gan Ning blocked the Strait of Malacca and Zhou Yu defeated the Japanese navy, they still could not gain dominance over the ocean.

A steady stream of ships in the Pacific Ocean uses Japan, Ryukyu and Australia for logistical supplies, frantically mobilizing naval forces.

Although not every fleet is the size of a regular fleet, when gathered together, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

In particular, these forces completely blocked Silla and Japan, leaving the initial encirclement plan missing a corner.

However, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning were able to block a navy that was several times larger than their own, which was already a great achievement. Even the many advisers in the military and political court could not express their dissatisfaction with this.

"Mobilize the Tianzhou troops, bypass Qingzhou, and then go north to attack Silla!"

Zhang Liang slammed the table in front of him and declared his thoughts loudly.

"What a joke! How can we spare the strength to fight Silla now?" Yang Xiu loudly refuted Zhang Liang's plan.

Several military gods are also not here.

The pressure from Central Asia and the Kushan region was too great, so Xu Shu retreated to Liangzhou and helped Wu Qi.

Yue Fei, who was originally serving as a reserve force, was also deployed to the Hanzhong area to block Sichuan and Shu's northern expedition...

Jia Xu is in his hometown, Guo Jia is disabled, Xu Shu is in Liangzhou, Pang Tong is in Malacca, Zhuge Liang is in the Mediterranean, Fa is in the Bering Strait, Zhou Yu is in Japan, Chen Gong is tied up with Xun Yu to assist Bai Qi in besieging his ancestral land, and Sima Yi is assisting Han Xin.

Wang Baobao was in charge of Xinghan to prevent internal unrest. After a series of transfers, there was almost no one to command the large army in the military and political court, and only a few top strategists were left. The second-tier strategists who had been suppressed by the elders group in the past all began to explode.

Seniority is an unsolvable problem everywhere, especially when your opponent is just as smart as you.

Now that all the elders have their own important tasks, Yang Xiu and others immediately began to show their talents. Before, they could only be overshadowed by Guo Jia and others.

Now, it is time for them to display their intelligence and talents. Everyone is excited and eager to prove themselves in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Their task is to find faults and make suggestions. As for whose suggestions will be adopted in the end, Mu Yi and Huang Tianji will make the final decision.

Even though Zhang Liang, who proposed the plan, was one of the three famous heroes of the early Han Dynasty and a wise strategist, no one backed down.

Yang Xiu originally planned to follow Arvind to guard the Beigui area. After all, that place was their hometown, and going back would be like returning home.

But Yang Xiu was completely clueless about that matter, and he had no way of completing it with Masinde and others. In the end, he wisely gave up this option and stayed in the military and political court to make plans.

There was no one of any importance present, and the entire military and political court was in chaos.

However, among these people, Zhang Liang obviously stood out from the crowd, so naturally he became the focus of the siege.

Of course this is not malicious. If a plan proposed by a person has loopholes, then being criticized is for Xinghan's good. A half-baked plan can be fatal.

"We must fill in the gaps in our first phase plan, otherwise we won't be able to continue advancing in the second phase!"

Zhang Liang had always been a good-tempered person, but now he suddenly became irritable and pointed at the map to express his opinions.

"We don't have enough troops now!" Yang Xiu did not give Zhang Liang any face, even though he once regarded Zhang Liang as his idol.

But now is not the time to chase stars, he must use his wisdom to shine.

"The frontline troops cannot be mobilized at all. The mobilization of any area may cause a fatal gap!"

Yang Xiu pointed at the troops in various places on the map. They even had to send Yue Fei out to plug the gaps. Almost all the troops available at hand had been used up.

Otherwise, no one would have suggested that the First Huangtian Legion join the battle before. It really has come to this point.

“Besides, even if we can send troops while maintaining the encirclement, have you forgotten the troop deployment that Silla has already discovered?”

"Four hundred thousand. Four hundred thousand. Even Wu Anjun is having a headache about how to deal with the garrison here! Even if we want to fight, who can we mobilize now? Are you planning to go into battle yourself?"

Yang Xiu laid out the whole situation, and even Zhang Liang had a headache, because Yang Xiu was not only not exaggerating, but was even a little conservative.

There were 400,000 regular troops in the Silla region, and God knows how many there are now. This is also one of the problems that have caused the stalemate.

The army in the Silla area was like a nail, firmly nailed in place, but no one could ignore this part of the troops, so they could only withdraw manpower for defense.

However, if there are too many people, they themselves will not have enough manpower, and if there are too few people, it will be meaningless. No one dares to act rashly for fear of causing a chain reaction that will affect the layout.

What’s even more terrible is that Silla’s coastline is still in the hands of the Qing army, and the other side can use the navy to attack their army.

"Mobilize the Yizhou tribe, Cao Wei tribe, and Nanman tribe to Qingzhou, select Lu Xun as the commander, and Cheng Yu, Zhang Song, Ma Liang, Huang Quan and others as military advisors!"

Zhang Liang knew that his actual performance was not good enough, so he did not mention his own affairs, but named Lu Xun to act as the commander.

Because the officers on the front line were unable to mobilize, Zhang Liang thought for a long time and finally put together a mixed army of 250,000 based on the combination of everyone's talents.

With a total of 150,000 troops that can be mobilized from the three sky ships, a total of 400,000 troops is worth a try.

Yang Xiu fell into silence for a while, constantly simulating Zhang Liang's plan.

Mu Yi was also thinking. In fact, he still had a lot of cards in his hand, but most of his officers had retreated to the third line or had other tasks, and were not considered by the Military and Political Court.

But that doesn't mean they can't fight.

However, after knowing this, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, Zhuge Liang and others proposed to hide this part of the cards.

This way they will have enough troops to deal with emergencies.

Besides, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols has not yet arrived. If they try their best at this moment, I am afraid that the end result will be unsatisfactory.

"I agree with Liu Hou's plan, but since we have to withdraw troops, let's do it all at once! I propose that Xiang Shaoyu's troops be transferred to us as well, so that we can defeat the army in the Silla region as quickly as possible."

Zhang Song squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, then was the first to agree to the plan.

"Xiang Shaoyu's troops must not act rashly!"

Zhang Liang shook his head. Xiang Shaoyu was under Han Xin's command and was a surprise prepared for Huang Taiji.

"That's fine with me, but I'm afraid our army can no longer spare any manpower!" Cheng Yu frowned. It was not that he was unwilling, but Cao Wei really had no one available.

"Just transfer General Li Dian!" Zhang Liang glanced at the current troop deployment, pondered for a moment and said to Cheng Yu.

"Oswin and Kusroyi can be transferred from Beigui!" After a long silence, Yang Xiu had to admit that Zhang Liang's plan was indeed feasible.

The places where the transfers were made are not important, but if they are combined together, it is indeed possible to achieve it.

As for not being able to win, Yang Xiu had never considered it at all. He was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Xinghan army. There were only so many military gods, and even if the opponent had 300,000 more auxiliary troops, it would be useless if they didn't use them well.

"But my suggestion is to attack Japan, completely liberate the maritime fleet, seize the coastline, and it will be easier with the support of maritime forces." Yang Xiu changed the subject and put forward his own plan.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but think about it after hearing this. As Yang Xiu said, this was indeed a feasible plan.

He knew little about the navy and subconsciously ignored this issue.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Liang shook his head.

"No, the Japanese mainland is irrelevant, and it will easily prolong the battle. Our time is already very tight, and if we waste it on this, it may not be worth it."

"A direct attack is too risky. If our offensive is frustrated by a pincer attack from land and sea, we will waste more time. This is also safer."

The discussion in the military and political court instantly revolved around the two.

They reached a consensus on sending troops, but they could not reach a consensus on where to attack.

One is more secure but takes a long time, while the other takes a short time and is more risky.

The two options are not much different for Huang Tianji's estimated results.

Mu Yi was troubled by Wu Shi Wu Shi's plan, but he also realized that if he wanted to break the situation now, he had to take the initiative to add weight.

After thinking about it, he decided to activate some of the reserve talents.

"To fight Silla, I will draw another group of troops to join us!" (End of this chapter)
