After months of deliberation, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies summed up the two routes of the Ming Dynasty and formulated a careful plan.

Attack from Lianghuai, the speed is the fastest, the least consumption, the difficulty is that the Yangtze River is insurmountable, after hitting the Yangtze River, I don't know if I can cross the river, there are too many uncertainties.

Attacking from Huguang is the safest, but the disadvantage is that it is too slow, and it is necessary to attack Wuchang first, attack Jiujiang, Hukou, and Anqing all the way, and finally capture Nanjing.

This route will inevitably consume huge amounts of time and take a long time, just like the Qing army's attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which will definitely cause a catastrophe to the local area.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan tended to directly cross the river from Lianghuai to attack Nanjing, solve the Nanming Dynasty in the fastest way, complete the unification of the world, and at the same time keep the handicraft industry in the Jiangnan region.

For this reason, the plan formulated by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was to take advantage of the psychology of the Southern Ming Dynasty that the Yangtze River moat could not be crossed, fight at Huguang, lead the main force of the Ming army to the west, and then attack the Ming army from Lianghuai to seize Nanjing in one fell swoop.

Of course, there is a condition for this, that is, the army must be able to cross the river, and Gao Yihuan already has a plan in his heart.

After this plan was formulated, everything was not all right, because there were still two variables other than Wei and Ming, one was Haoge outside the Guan, and the other was Sun Kewang in the southwest.

Gao Yihuan is not worried about Haoge, now that the Jingshi of Great Wei is in Guanzhong, he will not come to the city at every turn, so Haoge has limited effect on him.

He arranged for Li Dingguo to garrison Jinzhou, and ordered Wu Sangui to attack Horqin, as long as Horqin was forced to submit, the Wei army formed a pincer offensive against Liaodong, and Haoge was not worried.

Sun Kewang is different, according to Xuan Yiwei's report, this guy has 200,000 people, and there are tens of thousands of subordinate soldiers.

If he participates in the war, he will recruit some Tusi soldiers, I am afraid that he will be able to pull out an army of 300,000, and according to the scout, Sun Kewang still has a few elite soldiers in his hands that are not inferior to the Wei army.

This is an army that can change the tide of war.

Gao Yihuan was also surprised to get the information, in recent years, his energy has been mainly used to deal with the Manchu Qing, and he doesn't want to be careless, Xiao Sun's territory and sphere of influence, including Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and half of the Indochina Peninsula, have become a hegemon in Southeast Asia, to the point that the Great Wei also needs to deal with it carefully.

Gao Yihuan didn't want to start a war with Nanming and the Western Army at the same time, he sent Sun Kewang a text to test it, originally thought that Sun Kewang would refuse, but he didn't expect him to agree.

This made Gao Yihuan even more uneasy, if he was Sun Kewang, he must have helped Ming resist Wei, Gao Yihuan really couldn't find any reason for Sun Kewang to agree.

The only reason that can be explained is that Xiao Sun has swelled and feels that he has the strength to compete with Da Wei, so he dares to really be on an equal footing with Da Wei.

This made Gao Yihuan a little uncertain, because Xiao Sun is indeed a person who likes to swell more than him, always can't recognize himself, and thinks very highly of himself.

"Your Majesty, how can Sun Kewang reply over there?" Wang Shicong asked.

Gao Yihuan groaned: "There are two possibilities for this matter, one is true and the other is false. If it's true, then it's naturally easy to say, first solve Nanming, and then clean up Sun Kewang, if it's fake, that is, Sun Kewang wants to confuse me, and when I fight with the Ming army, he will suddenly give me a knife. ”

Gao Yihuan is very good at this kind of thing, so he will always be wary of others stabbing him.

Gao Yihuan paused, "Either way, I'll plan for the worst-case scenario." Sun Kewang dared to agree, I couldn't let him underestimate him, and the Ministry of Rites replied to him that I would hunt Jiangnan with him as agreed. ”

"The minister understands, and let the Li Fan Yuan reply to Sun Kewang later." Wang Shicong saluted.

At this time, Li Yan came out of the queue with an ivory wat in his arms, "Your Majesty, the minister has a report!" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

"The caravan sent by His Majesty to envoy to the countries of the Western Regions has finally received news!" Li Yan said in a deep voice.

Gao Yihuan was overjoyed, he almost forgot that there was such a caravan that was ordered to retake the Silk Road, "This is a happy event!" Why is the gentleman not happy? ”

Li Yan said solemnly: "Your Majesty's Sun Mansion has arrived at the Anxi Protectorate, but he is the only one in the entire caravan who has fled back, and the entourage, goods and documents have all fallen into the hands of the Rakshasas. ”

"What about the Rakshasa caravan?" Gao Yihuan frowned.

"Yes, they were held for two whole years." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

No wonder there has been no news for such a long time, it turned out that the Rakshasa people were making ghosts, but Gao Yihuan didn't have the energy to deal with the Rakshasa now, he was unhappy in his heart, but after muttering for a while, he just said, "Let him go back to Beijing first." ”

To put it this way, I will not deal with this matter for now, and I will talk about it later.

Li Yan didn't say much, after all, the south has started to fight, although the Rakshasa people have broken the face of Great Wei, but now dominating the world is the most important thing.

At this time, Wang Shicong suddenly remembered something and stood up again, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "Sir, please speak." ”

The Yuzi envoys who came to pay tribute also mentioned the Rakshasas, saying that they had encroached on the pastures of the Yuzi people, captured the Yuzi people as slaves, and imposed taxes on them. The three Yuzi all hope that Da Wei will be the master of it. Wang Shicong saluted.

The territory of the great empire is large, and there are many things, either in the east or in the west.

Gao Yihuan had already planned to establish a few satellite vassal states and seal them outside of China, so that some small things outside would be taken care of by the vassal states, otherwise when they were transmitted to Chang'an and then back to the frontier, the daylilies would be cold, and it would be inconvenient to transfer troops.

In Gao Yihuan's vision, these small countries deal with small things, and when they encounter big things and can't solve them, they have the suzerainty to deal with them.

Now that his dog breeding plan has not yet begun, the problem has come, and it has happened in the Western Regions, which he can't reach.

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "Why haven't I heard about this before. ”

Wang Shicong is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the Western Regions, so he can't answer.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mingxia stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it should have something to do with the decline of Zhunger, and it is even possible that Zhunger has colluded with the Rakshasas. ”

Gao Yihuan understood it at a glance, there was a powerful Jungar tribe in the Western Regions before, and the expansion of the Rakshasa people was blocked by Jungar, so they naturally converged a little, and were forced to bypass Jungar and develop towards Siberia.

Now Junggar was crippled by the Wei army, and its strength was seriously declining, and after the Wei army defeated Zhunger, it did not completely take over all the spheres of influence of Jungar, and the focus was still on the Central Plains.

Under such circumstances, there is no force in Central Asia that can resist the Rakshasas, and with the nature of the Rakshasas, they will inevitably see the opportunity to swallow Central Asia.

Gao Yihuan's fingers tapped on the dragon chair, and after pondering for a while, he still decided to compromise temporarily, "I am now focusing on extinguishing the light, and although the Rakshasa people are pressing step by step, I can't disrupt the rhythm of dominating the world because of this. ”

What Gao Yihuan meant by this is that the affairs of the Western Regions are not as important as those in Jiangnan, no matter how the Rakshasas treat Yuzi and how they expand, he must first dominate the world and then solve the affairs of the Western Regions.

Now it is not in his interests to start a war with Rakshasa, and it is not profitable, Jiangnan is much fatter than the Western Regions.

Li Yan frowned and said: "The minister agrees with His Majesty's decision, but the minister estimates that the vassals of the Western Regions will take the opportunity of tribute to state this matter to His Majesty." If Your Majesty is not appeased well, I am afraid that it will cause the vassals to be centrifuged, and even turn to the Rakshasas. ”

In Gao Yihuan's opinion, the best state is to let these vassals hold the Rakshasas, and then when they can't stand it anymore, the Great Wei Divine Soldiers descend from the sky and defeat the Rakshasas.

This can not only solve the threat of the Western Regions, but also make the vassals more grateful to Dade, after all, saving a person who is slightly injured and saving a person who is dying and struggling is completely different.

I have just been proclaimed emperor this year, if I don't say it at that time, I will be a little unable to get off the stage, and the Western Regions vassals will definitely be disappointed in Dawei, and without Dawei giving them confidence, they will definitely be defeated quickly, and when Dawei turns back to deal with Rakshasa at that time, there will be no helpers, and they will not respond enthusiastically.

Now the crux of the matter is how to let these vassals stand up to the Great Wei to free up their hands, Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice, and suddenly said: "Then let's conduct a big military parade!" ”
