Chapter 74 Qizhou Strategy
"And the west of Qizhou is densely covered with mountains and ridges. We only need to set up a large camp in various dangerous places, and one man can defeat ten thousand men!"

“Each of the large strongholds can defend against an enemy force ten times its own.”

"Therefore, my lord, my Cangzhou army will attack from the west of Qizhou, but it can only be the main attack, but not the main attack!"

Li Jing looked at the various dangerous places among the mountains in Qizhou and analyzed.

"Although my Cangzhou army is now strong and full of war gods."

"But if we attack the Qizhou Mountains head-on, we will suffer heavy losses and the gains will not outweigh the losses."

"But the mountains in Qizhou are continuous and cover a vast area, so they cannot look after each other."

Li Jing finished talking about the difficulty of conquering the mountains of Qizhou, but then changed the subject.

Your boss comes to hear how you solve problems, not to hear your nonsense.

What's too difficult? Is that something the lord should consider?
That is something that Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of the army, should consider.

"Therefore, my lord, you only need to lead our Cangzhou army to deploy in the mountains, and the Qizhou army will also need to increase its forces between the major camps."

"As the attacking party, my lord, which stronghold has fewer troops and which has more troops, the Qizhou army has no idea."

"In this case, the Qizhou Army must leave a reserve army behind the Qizhou Mountains to support the major villages at any time in case of emergency."

Li Jing glanced at Su Ye who was sitting at the top, and slowly told him the strategy for the attack on the mountains of Qizhou.

"Therefore, now that our Cangzhou army is approaching, my lord is leading the army to Qizhou."

"In the mountains, even if you do nothing, you can still contain most of Qizhou's military power."

"In this way, the north-south pincer attack that the lord and military advisor had mentioned earlier can be implemented."

As he spoke, Li Jing began to think about the next battle line.

"Therefore, my lord, you only need to send a small army through Yunzhou, enter Qi from Yunzhou, and attack the southern part of Qi."

"In this way, whether this detachment takes advantage of the emptiness in the south of Qizhou to capture cities, disrupt the logistics of the Qizhou army, or attack the Qizhou support troops halfway, it can greatly undermine the combat effectiveness of Qizhou."

"But this detachment went deep into the enemy's rear and wreaked havoc inside Qizhou. Not only was logistical support extremely difficult."

"Moreover, this detachment will be a great threat to Qizhou. King Qi will regard it as a thorn in his side and will mobilize elite troops to encircle and suppress it."

"Therefore, this small army can only be led by elite soldiers and generals!"

After talking about this detachment, Li Jing clasped his fists towards Su Ye and retreated back into the crowd.

Who will be the leader of this detachment and who will be the generals that need to be accompanied by him?

This was a matter between the lord and other colleagues, and Li Jing was in a difficult position to speak up.

"Let me think about it!"

Looking at the eager gazes of his generals, Su Ye rubbed his forehead, feeling a little pain in his head.

The importance of this detachment is self-evident. If used well, it can even directly change the battle situation in Qizhou.

But the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.

With such huge profits, the danger of this small force is naturally self-evident.

Therefore, the commander of this detachment must be a brave and resourceful general.

But, do I have extra people like this under my command now?
The original Azure Dragon definitely meets the requirements, and even far exceeds them.

But now he is in a love-hate relationship with Daqian within the Yellow Turban Army.

Li Jing is also OK, although his bravery is a little weak, but now Su Ye's Cangzhou army is almost overflowing with war gods, which is enough to make up for it. But now the hundreds of thousands of troops in Cangzhou still need Li Jing to preside over the overall situation, and he can't lead a small army.

In the end, the original Qin Qiong was qualified. His basic commander level of 98 was enough to lead this significant detachment. It was a pity that Qin Qiong was sent to the vanguard army one step ahead of time.

Now they have already taken the lead in entering Qizhou.

So now all of a sudden.

Where can I find a commander-in-chief who meets the requirements?
"System, how many summoning cards do I have left?"

After thinking for a long time with a frown on his face, Su Ye slapped his head and decided that he could only start from the system.

Su Ye remembered that when he completed the main mission - Occupy a State, he was rewarded with unlimited random summoning cards.

"Ding! The host's backpack still has 1200 summoning points, one faction summoning card, five random summoning cards, one saint-level political summoning card, one supreme random summoning card, and one martial arts combination four-summoning card."

Hearing Su Ye's question, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in Su Ye's ears.

"System, use that unlimited random summon card!"

Looking at the remaining items in his backpack, Su Ye's attention was only attracted by the unlimited random summon card.

I just hope that this time the system can be more powerful and produce a top commander who meets all the requirements of both wisdom and courage.

"Ding! The unlimited random summoning card is being used. The system will give a list of five characters. Please remove two of them. The system will randomly summon one of the remaining three characters."

"Summoning, host, please wait a moment"

"Ding! Unlimited random summoning of the first person, Zhao Kuangyin in yellow robe, command 99, force 104, intelligence 96, politics 99."

Wade, Zhao Da?
Su Ye looked at the first person who came out and his hands trembled.

Zhao Kuangyin was a military strategist, politician, and strategist from the Five Dynasties to the early Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, none of these titles are as good as one - the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty!
And his incredible achievement - wearing the yellow robe!

As a result, all emperors in later generations were wary of military generals.

This made all military generals in later generations feel insecure!

During the Later Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin joined the Privy Councilor Guo Wei and joined the army. During the reign of Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, he participated in the expeditions to Northern Han and Southern Tang, and made outstanding military achievements.

Soon after, he was crowned emperor in the "Chenqiao Mutiny", and returned to Beijing to force Emperor Gong of Later Zhou to abdicate.

In the same year, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne as emperor, changed the era name to Jianlong, and named the country "Song", which is known in history as the Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Zhao Kuangyin, based on the strategy of Prime Minister Zhao Pu of "first the south then the north, first the easy then the difficult", he successively destroyed the separatist regimes of Jingnan, Wuping, Hou Shu, Southern Han and Southern Tang in the south, and completed the unification of most of the country.

Of course, because Zhao Da himself, as a military general, had a dirty bottom.

Therefore, after he came to power, he started to weaken the original generals!

In response to the problem of local military governors who had been commanding their own troops since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty carried out two "cups of wine to release military power" to strip the military power of the imperial guards and local vassal states, readjusted the relationship between the civil and military officials, and at the same time as carrying out the war of unification, reformed the official system and strengthened central power.

Therefore, the policy of emphasizing culture over military and focusing on internal defense that gradually took shape from the beginning had an impact on the formation of the later poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty.

This led to the fact that later in the Song Dynasty, literati were in power and commanded the army. The result is predictable.

Amateurs command professionals!

It can only be said that there is a reason why the Song Dynasty was later called the Great Coward!

This is the bitter fruit that has been sown since the founding of the country.
