Chapter 276: Preparation before the attack

Chang Yuchun's words touched Yue Fei a little. To be honest, if Shenwuwei and Shencewei were to fight against a strong army like Qin Zhao in the first battle, they would not have a great chance of winning. It would be better to practice with Yue Kingdom. Even Yang Yanzhao agreed with Chang Yuchun's idea.

But Yue Fei still hesitated and said, "But in this way, we cannot guarantee that the war can be resolved within half a year. I'm afraid the king will not agree." This is what Yue Fei is most worried about. Shenwu Guard and Shence Guard are indeed the weakest among the various guards of the Deng army at present, but they still have a great chance of winning against the Vietnamese army. Yue Fei is not worried about the issue of victory or defeat. The only thing he is worried about is that it will prolong the war time and it is difficult to explain to Deng Sheng and the court.

Chang Yuchun smiled and said, "The General is not to worry. The King is also a soldier-minded person and will definitely understand our approach. As for the court, Cui Xiang, Jiang Xiang, Zhang Xiang, and Su Shangshu are all wise men and will also understand the general's approach. Besides, who can say that Shenwu Wei and Shence Wei will definitely not be able to conquer the entire Yue Kingdom within half a year."

The war has not started yet, everything is unknown, so Yue Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will submit this plan to the king, please decide!"

Soon, Yue Fei sent the plan to attack Yue this time to Deng Sheng. To be honest, when he saw Yue Fei intending to mobilize the Shenwu Guard and Shence Guard, Deng Sheng hesitated. As the same thing, can the Shenwu Guard and Shence Guard, who have never been to the battlefield really destroy Yue Kingdom within half a year?

However, after listening to Yue Fei's explanation, Deng Sheng finally agreed to Yue Fei's plan. Now Qin and Zhao are constantly increasing their strength. Although Deng Guoming now has 550,000 troops, there are at least nearly 200,000 new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. If they can achieve the goal of training on the battlefield of Yue Kingdom, it will be worth it even if they consume more money and food.

After Deng Sheng's imperial approval, he sent it to the three provinces. Not surprisingly, this plan caused an uproar within the three provinces and six ministries. However, with Deng Sheng's support, the heads of the three provinces and the Ministry of War, and the support of the General Governor's Office, it was successfully passed.

On September 12, 18th year of Qianyuan, Shenwu Guard, Shence Guard, Jinwu Guard, and Nujiao Guard began to move towards Wujun, waiting for next year's war. In fact, Deng did not need to assemble troops so early. Doing so would only make Yue Kingdom aware of Deng's intentions and would alarm the enemy. However, this was also the plan of Yue Fei and others. Yue Kingdom was mountainous. After attacking Yue Kingdom, the Deng army could not chase the Yue army to kill them. Therefore, after much discussion, it was finally decided to assemble troops in advance, alarm Yue Kingdom and force Yue Kingdom to gather the main force in Shanyin, so that Deng Kingdom could do his best to defeat the main force in one battle and defeat the Yue Army in one battle.

Sure enough, after learning that the Deng army was gathered in Wujun, the entire Yue Kingdom was panicked and panicked all day long. Finally, at the suggestion of General Ren Long, the Yue Kingdom gathered the most elite 40,000 troops in the country on the front line of the Yangtze River, leaving only 10,000 troops to defend the South China in Nanhai County.

Although Deng Sheng was very confident in destroying Yue Kingdom, due to time constraints, Deng Sheng decided that Yue Fei would be the head coach in this battle, and Chang Yuchun was appointed as the deputy commander. In addition, Zhang Liao, Murong Chui, Deng Qiang, and Zhou Yu, four famous generals, and sixteen generals, this lineup is worth more than the battle to destroy Wu, which shows that Deng's attention to this battle.

In addition to the continuous arrival of the army to Wujun, under the leadership of the Shangshu Ling Jiang Wan, a large amount of money and grain were continuously transported to Wujun. At the same time, Jiang Wan also ordered Liu Jian, the governor of Jiangdong Road, and Huo Guang, the prefect of Wujun, to make every effort to build the equipment needed by the army.

Wujun, Yuhang, and 200,000 Deng troops were stationed here. Yue Fei and Chang Yuchun also came here in advance. They would stay here until the end of the Battle of Yue before returning to Wancheng.

In the Yuhang camp and the central army tent, Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, the four generals, the sixteen generals, and the four military advisors are all here. Although it is far from the time to launch an attack, Yue Fei believes that it is still necessary to make a pre-war mobilization.

Yue Fei sat in the main seat and said, "Everyone, I believe you know the purpose of this trip. I will not say much nonsense. There are still more than five months before the dispatch of troops. In nearly half a year, in the past six months, I will ask you to raise the troops under your command to a higher level, especially the two guards of Shenwu Guard and Shence Guard. I don't want any troops to drag you down when the war begins!"

"Here!" everyone responded in unison, especially Murong Chui and Zhang Liao. This time it was their first time to command the Yiwei army to fight. The quality of this battle would directly affect their position even the Shenwu Guard and Shence Guard in Deng's army, and no one wanted to be the bottom one.

Seeing that everyone was full of fighting spirit, Yue Fei was very happy and said, "Okay, from today on, the training of each guard will be handed over to the generals of each guard. The generals and military advisors of each guard will go with me and General Chang to investigate the terrain and formulate combat plans at the same time!"

"Here!"

This battle is unusual. In order to end the war within half a year, Yue Fei needs to make a lot of preparations, and surveying the terrain is one of them. Sometimes, the advantages of the terrain often determine the end of a war. Yue Fei will never allow himself to lose on the terrain, which is a shame for a famous general.

In the following time, the Shenwu Guard, Shence Guard, Jinwu Guard, and Nujiao Guard were all stepping up training, especially the Nujiao Guard. This time, their navy was taking the lead, while Yue Fei took a group of generals and military advisors every day, under the escort of his personal soldiers, and walked all over the junction with Kuaiji, knowing the terrain of this area.

Just as Deng made final preparations for the attack on Yue, the Battle of the Central Plains also made great progress. To be precise, the Zhao army made great progress, and the Qi army could no longer see any hope.

Since July of the 18th year of Qianyuan, in less than two months, Li Rubing led 100,000 Zhao troops to sweep the southern counties of Qi. They were already on the front line of Panyang, Guangxian and Linqu, confronting the Qi army. However, Li Rubing did not launch an attack at the first time, but chose to hoard troops here and clear the Zhao army in the south. The logistics problems had been solved and the main force of the Qi army was trapped in the three counties of Jinan, Leping and Qi counties. Qi seemed to have reached the last moment.

At the head of the county town, Han Qing looked at the Zhao army camp outside the city with a haggard look on his face and was defeated continuously, which was a big blow to the number one general of Qi. He once thought that he would be defeated by Zhao Xin, but he did not expect that he would be defeated so badly and so thoroughly. In the whole battle, the Qi army performed worse than the Wei army. At least the Wei army fought for more than 100,000 Zhao army, resulting in less than 600,000 Zhao army of 800,000. What about the Qi army? There were 300,000 people before the war, but now there were only 120,000 to 130,000, and the Zhao army that was defeated by Qi army was only tens of thousands. Although there were many factors in this, defeat was defeated.

"He Jiong, do you think there is still hope for the Great Qi?" Han Qing sighed and said to He Jiong beside him. This was the first time Han Qing said such a thing. No matter how difficult it was in the past, Han Qing would not say such a despicable thing. This time, Zhao Xin and Zhao army attacked him was really too big. Now the countdown of the Wei State is already at the verge of any help to the Qi army. Besides, Han Qing did not expect Wei State to do anything. After all, the Wei State, without Pang Kuo and Wei Bu and other famous generals, was already over, so how could it be expected?

He Jiong looked at Han Qing with a blank look on his face. He didn't understand why Han Qing said such words, but he knew that he could not be discouraged at this time and must let Han Qing regain his confidence. If even Han Qing admitted that he had failed, then Qi would really have no hope. So he said, "Yes, as long as there is a general here, there will be hope. The Zhao army is not invincible. The last general believes in the general!"
