Two days later, Yanjing,

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from General Wei Qing."

Liu Wei took it, opened the envelope, and checked it, and not long after, Liu Wei put down the letter.

"This was sent four days ago, when the Imperial Forest Army had already entered the territory of Nanyang, and now it must have already joined Zhang Xiu."

"Chengdu!"

"The minister is here!"

"Immediately notify Liu Ji, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Zhang Fang, and Zhao Pu to enter the palace to see me."

"Yes!"

……

"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu, Liu Ji, Guo Jia, Zhang Liang, and Zhao Pu are all here.

"Let's get flat!"

"I don't know what important things Your Majesty summoned your ministers and others to order?" Liu Ji asked.

"Weiqing has news that the army has arrived in Nanyang, what do you think should happen next?" Liu Wei asked.

"I wonder if Your Majesty is planning to make a quick decision or if you are not in a hurry?" It was Zhao Pu who spoke.

Liu Wei didn't answer Zhao Pu but said, "You should know the news of Jingzhou, right?" ”

"Go back to Your Majesty, wait for your Majesty to understand!"

Everyone instantly understood what Liu Wei was talking about.

"Your Majesty thinks that the army should launch an attack on Cao Cao within half a month." The fastest one to open his mouth was still Zhao Pu.

"You guys?" Liu Wei looked at Xun Yu, Liu Ji and the others.

"I thought the army should attack in ten days." Liu Ji and Xun Yu glanced at each other and then said at the same time.

"Feng Xiao and Ziliang are good!"

"Five days!" Guo Jiadao.

"Three days!" Zhang Liangdao.

"Three days, five days, ten days, half a month, each of you is more anxious than the other." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, Lord Guo's five days are from today to the beginning of the war, and the minister's three days are from the time the order arrives at the generals to the three days from the start of the war, and the five days of the minister and Lord Guo are actually not much different."

Zhang Liang explained,

"That is to say, Ziliang and Fengxiao think that there will be a war in five days, Wen Ruo and Berwen think that there will be a war in ten days, and Zeping thinks that there will be a war in half a month, so you all come and talk about your thoughts." Liu Wei said with a smile.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, our army is the soldiers and horses first, the grain and grass are transferred later, the grain and grass, ordnance, and the camp are the top priority, and a large number of grain and grass need to be prepared, and the military camp will be stabilized and then a battle, and the soldiers of the army will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the officers and men of the army do not even know how to do it with their respective opponents, and the minister thinks that it can be as short as ten days and half a month before the war can be."

Zhao Pu replied, in fact, Zhao Pu had deliberately reduced his time to start the war.

"Wen Ruo and Berwyn are gone!"

"The minister thinks that Zeping is reasonable, but there is one thing that the minister does not dare to disagree." Liu Ji replied.

"I don't know what Master Liu has to say!" Zhao Pu said quite provocatively.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, more than ten years, isn't it true that adults still don't know Cao Cao's strength, Xu Da, Yue Fei, and Xu Huang are all invincible generals, and there is anyone under Cao Cao who can compare.

Cao Cao did have a large number of generals, but Cao Cao had to guard against five places this time, one was the Xiang clan who was destroyed by him with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the other was Zhang Xiutaishou and General Weiqing in Nanyang, one was General Xu Huang in Qingzhou, one was General Xu Da in Jizhou, and the other was General Yue Fei in Yin, Henan.

His Cao Cao's army of more than 400,000 will be dispersed, and the generals will face no more than 100,000 enemies, does Lord Zhao think this is clear enough? Liu Ji looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu listened and did not refute,

"The minister thought that the army could attack Cao Cao's headquarters in about ten days." Liu Ji said in a deep voice, he did not reduce the time of his plan like Zhao Pu.

"Fengxiao, Ziliang meant!"

Liu Wei looked at Zhang Liang and Guo Jia again, and after listening to Zhao Pu and Liu Ji's words, he was now very curious about Zhang Liang and Guo Jia's explanation.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhang Liang and motioned for Zhang Liang to speak first.

"The minister thinks that the strength of our army is not as good as the enemy's army, if the two sides set up a good position, and then fight head-on, it is extremely unfavorable for our army, even if the three generals are outstanding, and the generals are brave and invincible, but you must know that the generals under Cao Cao are not ordinary people, even if our army can win, it is a miserable victory, which is more than worth the loss for the imperial court."

Zhang Liang paused, and then continued to speak, "Now that the Cao army's formation has not been opened, and we haven't even thought about when our army will act, in this case, our army can be completely surprised, kill the Cao army by surprise, take the outer cities and counties, mess up the enemy's position, and suppress the enemy's morale, and the premise is that the sooner the better."

As for the grain and grass and ordnance, our army does not need to go deep alone, it only needs to take the outer cities and counties, and there is no need to worry about the grain and grass, and the ordnance cannot be sent to the front-line army. Zhang Liang explained.

"Master Guo, it's your turn!" After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia again, and it was obvious that the two of them still had a reason.

"I think that our army is good at attacking fortified positions, fighting in the field, strong bows and crossbows, and invincible iron cavalry is our strength, which is incomparable to Cao's army.

Moreover, the catapults of the Cao army are not weaker than our army, and ordinary camps are simply unable to resist in front of the catapults, so it is better to take a few cities and disrupt the layout of the enemy army than to waste time building a solid camp. Guo Jia said.

"One of you has denied the safe dispatch of grain and grass, and the other has denied the construction of a strong camp, and the cooperation is good." Liu Wei laughed.

"The thoughts of the three of you are also clear, Zhao Pu is steady and steady, step by step, Guo Jia and Zhang Fang are taking advantage of their unpreparedness and lightning raids, while Xun Yu and Liu Ji have a little bit of the middle meaning of seeking stability and speed, you think about how to choose for yourself."

Liu Wei said, in fact, at the beginning, Liu Wei was similar to what Zhao Pu thought, fighting a head-on battle with Cao Jun steadily, and then waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity, but now after listening to Liu Ji, Guo Jia, and Zhang Liang's words, there have been some changes.

"Wechen agrees with Master Zhang and Master Guo's plan." Zhao Pu spoke, and he stood on the side of Zhang Liang and Guo Jia very decisively.

"Liu Ji and Xun Yu?"

Liu Wei looked at Liu Ji and Xun Yu, he didn't ask Zhao Pu why, because in his opinion, a person of Zhao Pu's level would not be angry because of a little disagreement.

"The minister wants to know Lord Zhao's reason!" Liu Ji looked at Zhao Pu.

As Lord Zhang said, the generals of the Cao army are not mediocre, and the enemy will definitely know the movements of our military camp, how can they not guess that our army will launch an attack and make precautions.

Our army's attack at this time is bound to be fruitless, and the final result is nothing more than to startle the snake and affect morale, so the minister thinks that it is either fast or stable, and the way of neutralization will not work. Zhao Pu didn't wait for Liu Wei's instructions to take the initiative to explain.

"Liu Ji, you think!" Liu Wei looked at Liu Ji again, and he agreed with Guo Jia and Zhang Liang's plan more than Liu Ji's plan.

Blitzkrieg, although this can't be compared with blitzkrieg, but it also has the same trick, taking advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and unpreparedness, launching a surprise attack, which can often achieve great results.

"The minister also agreed to the plan of Fengxiao and Ziliang." Liu Ji said helplessly.

"Xun Yu!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"In that case, it's decided!" Liu Wei nodded.

"Yuwen Chengdu!"

"The minister is here!"

"Ordered Kuaima to send an order to Xu Huang, Xu Da, and Yue Fei, and ordered them to send troops within three days to give me the fastest speed to take the first line of Taishan County, Jibei Kingdom, Dongjun, Chenliu County, and Yingchuan County." Liu Wei ordered.

"No!"

Yuwen Chengdu left in a hurry,

……

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from Chang'an." Not long after Yuwen Chengdu left, Lu Wenlong came in.

"Chang'an's urgent letter?"

Liu Wei was a little puzzled,

"Show it to me!" Liu Wei was a little worried that something had happened to Chang'an, so he hurriedly said.

"This ......"

After taking the letter handed over by Lu Wenlong, and after carefully examining it, Liu Wei couldn't laugh or cry.

"Look at it!"

Liu Wei handed the letter to Xun Yu and the others,

"What do you think?" Soon after, Liu Wei asked.
