In the afternoon, the marshal of the camp outside the city, and the marshal of the marshal of Xiyang, Wang Yuwen Wen of Xiyang, was convening the main generals for a meeting. He had just finished the meeting in the city and rushed to the camp outside the city without stopping. When he was still five minutes away, he arrived at the tent of the central army. The generals in the tent were ready.

The meeting was hosted by Marshal Shi Weixuan, Marshal General Yang Su, Shi Wansu, Han Qinhu, and many other major generals were also present.

The time accuracy is as accurate as minutes, which is actually not necessary for the "ancient" war, and even for the agricultural society, this time accuracy is not necessary. However, Yuwen Wen still has to set an example to promote Huangzhou watches.

He asked the generals attending the meeting to arrive at least five minutes in advance during the military negotiations, so the main generals each had two pocket watches. Of course, these pocket watches were given for free by Yu Wenwen.

Yuwen Wen is very busy, and he is busy all day from morning to night, so we can't say too much nonsense in this military discussion to avoid wasting time. His opening remarks are very straightforward: "The soldiers have had enough carnivals these days and have enough rest. It's time to continue killing the enemy!"

"I relaxed for a few days, and some people probably haven't come back to their senses. I would like to emphasize again that the government army came to Lianghuai to recover lost territory, not to be free and happy!"

"Now, the important areas south of the Huai River are owned by the Chen State, so at present, our army's goal is to recover Huaibei prefectures and counties. Now that Huaixi has been pacified, the army is stationed in Woyang, and the area east of Huaisi is Huai Si, which is the next goal of our army!"

As the commander of the entire army, Yuwen Wen knew that his so-called military talent was in front of Han Qinhu, Yang Su and Shi Wansui, and he was a show of his avatar. So he did not intend to charge forward in the next battle.

Yuwen Wen has lofty ambitions, so between generals and generals, he chooses generals. Even if the starting point is not high, he must seize every opportunity to accumulate experience and improve his generals' abilities.

Therefore, these three famous generals in "historical" charge in front of the battle. He was in the middle of the rear to complete the strategic mission entrusted by the court to the Southeast Road as soon as possible.

What is the strategic mission of the Southeast Road march? Guide Lianghuai.

But considering the alliance with Chen State, as Yu Wen Wen said in the opening remarks, the most urgent task is to recover Huaibei.

Woyang has now been recovered by Yuwen Wen. In fact, from a tactical perspective, his next best choice is to go north to attack Xiao Huang, Bozhou Prefecture. Once Xiao Huang is taken down, the Yuchi Shun army entrenched in Zhengzhou will be in danger.

Yuchi Shun was Yuwen Wen's father-in-law. At this time, he was confronting Yuwenming in Zhengzhou. The war was in a stalemate. The front line had not changed much for several months. Both sides were in a balanced position. Once Yuwen Wen successfully captured Xiao Huang, it could seriously threaten Yuchi Shun's flanks, resulting in decisive changes in the situation in Henan.

However, Bozhou area belongs to Henan and does not belong to the offensive direction of the Southeast Road march. If Yuwen Wen led his troops to attack Xiao Huang, it would be a "cross-border battle" and theoretically it would be an anti-order.

But this problem is not a problem. After all, as long as Henan can be recovered, no one will pay attention to such small problems in the program.

The main problem is that if he urged his troops to attack Xiao Huang, it would be equivalent to giving up the best opportunity to attack Xuzhou. This would give Yuchi a breather and consolidate Pengcheng's city defense. The opponent would even take the opportunity to make peace with Chen Guo.

This raises the problem to the strategic level and is a situation that Yuwen Wen must avoid.

The territory of Yuchi's family in Huaibei is now the Xuzhou General Administration. The defeat of Yuchi Youqi has resulted in the fact that the Yuchi family has no strong field force south of the Yellow River except for the Yuchishun army.

The other side is in the Bozhou General Administration Office, and the Xuzhou General Administration can only take a defensive position. The rebellion broke out in the Qingzhou General Administration Office seems to have not yet been resolved, and they should not be able to send troops to support Bo, Xu.

Therefore, for Yuchi Dun, the head of the Yuchi family, once the Xuzhou General Administration tends to be unable to defend, he is very likely to use this as a bargaining chip to cede land and make peace with Chen State.

Xuzhou Prefecture is the main capital of Pengcheng, which is an important place to control the Sishui Water System and the number one important town in the Huai and Si region. With Pengcheng in the Southern Army, when the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, it can use the Sishui Water System to transport food and grass to support the army to attack the southern bank of the Yellow River.

Therefore, Pengcheng is an important stronghold that the Southern Army must occupy in the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains. Once Chen State obtained Pengcheng, he would have hope of resurrection.

Chen State has "recovered" Huainan, and its strategic goals will sooner or later turn to Jiangzhou and even Ba and Xiangzhou. The conflicts with Zhou State (Yuwen Family) will deepen and will turn against each other sooner or later.

If Yuwen Wen gave up attacking Pengcheng in the east and chose to take Xiao Huang in the north, he might be attacked from both sides before Xiao Huang was taken down, and expose his entire back and flanks to Chen Jun who occupied Huainan and Xuzhou.

If you are not careful, Yuwen Wen will become another Guan Yu. When the situation is in great condition, he is attacked and cut off his back. He is defeated and captured. He will be taken to Jiankang to parade and then a knife is taken to the neck.

This is not a risk that Yuwen Wen himself scares himself, but a risk that the generals unanimously recognized. The marching of the Southeast Road may not be sure to quickly move to Xiao Huang. Although the Bozhou army has no power to attack south, there is no problem in protecting itself.

Not to mention that Yuwen Wen's father-in-law Chi Shun would not sit idly by and watch Xiao Huang be surrounded and ignored. He would definitely divide his troops to rescue him. At that time, the marching of the Southeast Road could not take Xiao Huang, and he lost the opportunity to quickly seize Pengcheng, and both ends were lost and missed a great opportunity.

However, even if the Southeast Road marched smoothly eastward and took all the Xuzhou General Administration Office, the strategic situation that we faced next was still very dangerous.

The Yellow River, Huai River, and Yangtze River, from north to south, these three east-west rivers form a "three". If the southeast road marches to recover the entire Huaibei area, then the Huaibei controlled by the Zhou Kingdom (Yuwen family) will become the horizontal line in the middle of the "three".

To the north is the Henan area controlled by the Yuchi family, and to the south is the Huainan area controlled by the Chen State. For the Southeast Road marching, this is also an enemy from both sides.

In this kind of long area, as long as the middle point is cut off, the army at the end (east section, Huaisi area) will be isolated and will be completed sooner or later.

Even so, Yuwen Wen still chose the eastward strategy, and the generals agreed with this, because going to fight wars was to risk their lives. Since everyone was not afraid of death, of course they were not afraid of taking risks, it was nothing more than whether it was worth it.

Based on this strategic goal, Yuwen Wen formulated a series of tactical plans. Today's military proposal is to make everyone work together to improve this tactical plan and implement it immediately.

In short, Yuwen Wen had to race against time, and seize Pengcheng before the Chen State and the Yuchi family made peace, and then stabilize the Huaibei defense line before the Chen State turned against each other. The time node was this year's autumn harvest.

Yuwen Wen judged that Chen Jun, who had just "recovered" Huainan, had to wait at least until the autumn harvest to have enough food to support the army's northern invasion, and by the way, "eat from the enemy" to reduce the logistics burden.

Therefore, we must seize Pengcheng before the autumn harvest and recover the territory of the Xuzhou General Administration. After that, depending on the situation, we will decide whether to draw troops north.

At that time, we will either use Pengcheng as the base and go north to take Qingqi, or use Woyang as the base and go north to take Bozhou. The ultimate goal is that Yuwen Wen will assist Yu Wenming and drive the Yuchi army to the north of the Yellow River.

At that time, it will be useless for Chen Guo to jump to the south.

This series of strategies and tactics, and the foothold is to take down Pengcheng before the autumn harvest. Now it is summer, and there are still some fighter opportunities, so Yuwen Wen and the generals discussed for more than an hour and made the final decision.

The marching commander Yang Su led his troops eastward and mainly attacked Pengcheng; the marching commander Han Qinhu also led his troops eastward and took the southern barrier of Xia Pi to prevent possible sneak attacks by the Chen army near Sikou to the south, and the two armies were mainly Yang Su.

The marching general Yuwen Shiwu continued to sit in Huaixi to prevent possible abnormal movements between Chen army in Shouchun, while ensuring that the Huaixi area completes the autumn harvest and raises a large army of grain and grass supply.

The most critical front nodes: Ruyin and Woyang, guarded by the marshal Yuwen Wen himself, and the stationed area was Woyang; the marshal Shi Wansui, the general manager of the marshal, led his troops to be stationed north of Woyang to prevent the possible southern invasion of the Bozhou army.

Shi Wansui's troops were also responsible for waiting for an opportunity to attack Xiao Huang, forcing the Bozhou army to shrink its forces and unable to divide its troops east to reinforce Xuzhou, or divide its troops west to reinforce Zhengzhou.

At the same time, Shi Wansui and Yuwen Wen were supporting each other to prevent the sneak attack of Chen Jun in the south.

Yuwen Wen was in charge of Woyang and dispatched in the middle to ensure the logistics and rearrangement of the combat officers on the Eastern Front. The generals had no objection to this decision, and even believed that no one was more suitable than Yuwen Wen.

This is not a compliment to Yu Wenwen, but Yu Wenwen's outstanding achievements in guarding Xuanhu, which made the marching general manager and other generals full of confidence. With the King of Xiyang to defend the retreat, Yang Su and Han Qinhu could go all out to attack the Huai Si area.

Another reason is that Yuwen Wen did have a set of military supplies to raise food and grass, so the requirements of the marching general managers came one after another.

We need soldiers, food, supplies, and supplies. To get to Pengcheng quickly, we have to build a large number of catapults, a large number of thunder, and a large number of supplies. It is not easy to meet these requirements.

The war that lasted for two years and the successive battles over the past year, and the use of troops in Henan and the two Huai Rivers directions at the same time have caused the manpower and material resources in the Shannan region to be overdrawn. Yuwen Wen wanted to raise all kinds of materials and soldiers as requested by the marching general managers, and it was very difficult for him to raise all kinds of materials and soldiers.

But Yuwen Wen is still confident about this. He looked around the generals present and spoke:
Chapter completed!
