Sui and Tang Dynasties: Choose the Empire Faction at the Beginning

He seems to want to see the end of the river, but this is just nonsense. How can the river have an end. "I heard that the Sui army has set off by water, and it means to attack Li Zitong."

Du Fuwei said lightly.

Yes, the owner of this figure is... Du Fuwei.

Recently, because of the defeat of Wagangzhai, he was upset, so he could come to the Yangtze River to adjust his mood.

"After all, there are disadvantages to joining forces. Whether Li Zitong will come or not will never be known."

Du Fuwei let out a long sigh.

Until now, he has doubts about Li Zitong, so how can it be so easy to join forces. It turns out that Li Zitong would rather give up the two counties, and if he had to, Li Zitong would not choose to go with Du Fuwei. Combine soldiers.

Since Li Zitong exceeded Yang Ji's expectations, he headed north to Xuzhou City, and hid himself in the city, and was unwilling to join forces with Du Fuwei.

So wouldn't the waterway army be of no use, and the army led by Yang Ji would have to return without success. If Li Zitong did not join forces with Du Fuwei, then the direct Just attack Du Fuwei.

Regardless of whether the two of them join forces or not, Yang Ji's real idea is to attack Du Fuwei.

Once Du Fuwei is captured, the counter-insurgency forces will naturally decrease.

"If Li Zitong doesn't come and the Sui army goes to the Yangtze River, what should we do?"

Fu Gong Yi asked in a deep voice.

The problem facing the two of them now is... this.

If the Sui army went to Yangzhou and fluttered in the air, it is very likely that they would follow the Grand Canal and turn to attack the Yangtze River.

Du Fuwei fell into silence when he heard the words.

He himself doesn't know what to do, and now the only one he can unite with is apart from Li Zitong, but there is no other candidate.

If Li Zitong can't come, then there can be any other way to either die in battle or surrender, no matter which of the two options, it means that Du Fuwei must die.

He is the leader of the rebel army, the person who led everyone to rebel, and occupied the Yangtze River area and became a hero. This identity represents Du Fuwei. If he cannot rise in the turbulent times, he is doomed to perish.

Therefore, there is no difference between surrendering and dying in battle. On the contrary, if you die in battle, you will be more unyielding.

"Go to the Yangtze River, then let's fight."

Du Fuwei took a deep breath.

At what moment, he let go of all his fears, and finally planned to open up with the Sui army, and have a good fight, and no matter how the battle was resolved, it could end.

"Now we should find a way to resist the Sui army. That's the urgency. As for Li Zitong, no matter if he comes or not, it should be considered that he is unwilling to come."

Du Fuwei said lightly.

After leaving some words, Wei turned and left, the water of the Yangtze River was still churning.

Fu Gong Yi looked at the churning waters of the Yangtze River and fell into contemplation, thinking about ways to deal with the Sui army.

Judging from the boiling of the water of the Yangtze River, if there is heavy rain in the past few days, the water of the Yangtze River will definitely rise. How could Fu Gong Yi know that it was raining heavily? "Forget it, choose the safest way."

Fu Gong Yi let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

The safest way is to choose a location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to build a fort according to the terrain, so as to resist the attack of the Sui army.

If it can be resisted and the Sui army is at a standstill for a long time, this battle can also be regarded as Du Fuwei's victory.

However, to accomplish this, a lot of food is needed, and during this period of time, rolling stones and arrows must be prepared.

...Wujun, Yangzhou.

wow wow.

The water of the Grand Canal was tumbling, and Li Cunxiao led the army to land successfully.

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness!"

The people of Yangzhou had gathered here, and when they saw Li Cunxiao and others arriving, they shouted to welcome Li Cunxiao and others.

Li Cunxiao frowned slightly. There was no one in Wu County, Yangzhou. Could it be that Li Zitong has gone to the Yangtze River area to join forces with Du Fuwei. "Li Zitong has left, but not necessarily to the Yangtze River area."

Xu Shiji, who was a military advisor in the army, said lightly.

In the process of marching, he began to think about the choice of the rebel Li Zitong.

In addition to Du Fuwei, Li Zitong could abandon Wu County in the south, travel north, and choose a better place to wait for the Sui army to attack.

Of course, this is just speculation, if we want to solve the root cause of the problem, we must confront the Sui army head-on, and directly destroy the morale of the Sui army.

It is precisely because this would be Li Zitong's most agreeable idea that Yang Ji had this strategy.

"What's the point of a soldier"

Hearing this, Li Cunxiao asked curiously.

"Go to Wujun, Yangzhou first, and you will be able to find out."

Exactly how Li Zitong chose, then you can find out when you go to Wu County.

After the army arrived in Wu County, the city was really empty, and most of the food and forage were also taken away by Li Zitong and others.

"Distribute food and stabilize people's hearts."

Seeing that most of the people had no food and grass, and looked at Sui Jun with horror, Xu Shiji made a suggestion to Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao was stunned for a moment. Even if the strategist doesn't say it, he will do it.

The distribution of food made a group of people very moved.

Therefore, it has become much easier to inquire about Li Zitong's whereabouts.

After the people's answers, Xu Shiji and others had already learned of Li Zitong and went north to Xuzhou.

"Xuzhou City."

Xu Shiji frowned slightly. Xuzhou City was backed by the Great Wall and occupied a natural terrain. This place was really easy to defend and difficult to attack. Judging from Li Zitong's departure from Wu County and taking away most of the food, Li Zitong was planning to stick to Xuzhou City. .

"Li Zitong did not choose to join forces with Du Fuwei, but went north to Xuzhou, then we should quickly go south, complete the north-south attack with His Royal Highness, and destroy Du Fuwei."

Li Cunxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

In such a situation, the elimination of Du Fuwei is completely ironclad.

"There is another option, to attack Xuzhou City, and then you can join forces with Your Majesty from the north and south to attack the rest of the rebel forces."

Xu Shiji stroked his chin and beard and came up with a new strategy.

Li Cunxiao looked at Xu Shiji and didn't say a word. When he set off, the grandson alone ordered Li Cunxiao one thing. If the military advisor has other strategic formations, then it can be done.

chapter

Chapter [-] "Go north to Xuzhou and attack Li Zitong."

Li Cunxiao took a deep breath and issued the military order directly according to Xu Shiji's suggestion.

Luo Song and the others were stunned for a moment. Xu Shiji had only now served as a counselor in the Imperial Sun's army. Under such circumstances, he should first ask His Highness for instructions.

After asking for instructions, he was considering whether to use the counselor's method, how could he directly make up his mind? Luo Song wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and chose not to speak.

Li Cunxiao can be said to be someone close to His Highness, and he would never have dared to act like this without His Highness's instructions.

Therefore, Luo Song guessed that His Highness might have told General Li Cunxiao something in private, otherwise Li Cunxiao would definitely not have made such a decision.

In fact, even Xu Shiji was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Cunxiao to use this tactic without any hesitation.

"Don't you need to report to His Highness?"

Xu Shiji asked.

This is to change the combat strategy, and the army needs to go north, so it is far away from His Royal Highness's army, so this matter is not simple, and it really needs to be reported to His Highness.

"Master, the decision on whether to implement this strategy is in your hands. Whether you decide to attack north or join the army in the Yangtze River, you decide."

Li Cunxiao said lightly.

Xu Shiji frowned slightly when he heard the words, since Luo Song could think of a problem, how could he not think of it.

Then why did His Highness make such a move? Could it be that the grandson was deliberately testing him wrong? If he wanted to test him, wouldn't it be better to take him with him? So Xu Shiji thought that this move might be a chance for the grandson to give him a chance to make merit. , Whether to choose to make a contribution in the first battle, or choose to go south to join the army, depends on Xu Shiji's own decision.

If he chooses to go south to join the army, then it can only be said that Xu Shiji's talent is just that.

After all, going north to attack Xuzhou at this time can be staggered into a north-south attack.

When the north and south armies join forces in the future, most of the rebels will probably have been pacified.

"Okay, from now on, I will inform Your Highness in a letter of the next direction of our army."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Shiji said solemnly.

In the end, it was Ju Ding who led the army towards Xuzhou City. In Xu Shiji's eyes, this move was more like a test of his highness by His Highness.

Xuzhou City is very difficult to break, but if Xu Shiji can break through quickly, it shows that his talent is no small thing.

"The army adjusts its direction and marches north to Xuzhou City!"

Seeing that Xu Shiji had been confirmed, Li Cunxiao did not delay and directly issued the military order.

With the issuance of the military order, the army immediately began to adjust its direction, and at the same time, some people continued to take the waterway with letters, heading for the direction of the Yangtze River.

He needs to arrive in the direction of the Yangtze River and report the movements of the army along the way to His Royal Highness.

After doing all this, Li Cunxiao and the others headed north, and the vast army headed straight for Xuzhou City.

This city is backed by the Great Wall, so there is basically no way out, Li Zishou.

The most difficult part of this battle is, for example, breaking Xuzhou City.

While on the road, I have already started to think about strategies.

If it is a ruthless attack, there is a possibility that this battle will last for a year or two. If there is a strategy, it is estimated that in about a month: time, the city of Xuzhou will be able to be conquered.

Of course, the premise is that Xu Shiji has a suitable strategy.

When Li Zitong's army was the most slack, he could directly conquer the entire Xuzhou city and complete the battle against Li Zitong.

"Huh, this battle is probably not easy."

Xu Shiji took a deep breath and said.

His hands were shaking, and he didn't know if it was from nervousness or excitement or something.

...to the direction of the Yangtze River.

Hu woo woo.
