Different from the military meeting convened on the day Yang Guang first arrived in Guangling, on the day five days later, He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Yu Wenshu, Yan Rong and other generals of the Sui army who had been ordered to attend this crucial military conference walked into the conference hall of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and found that in the conference hall, except for the three seats in the center of the steps, the two sides of the steps were empty, that is, not even a pair of seats were prepared for the participating generals.

Not only that, but on both sides of the hall, there were also two rows of soldiers from the hussar battalion of the Jin Dynasty's Mansion wearing robes and swords hanging from their waists, and everyone was solemn and unsmiling.

The generals present at the meeting immediately felt that the military meeting was extraordinary.

Before the time came, among the civil and military participants, the civil officials were headed by Zhang Heng, the governor of the Jin Dynasty's Mansion and the Generalissimo's Mansion, and the military generals were headed by He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, and Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou.

Just after the hour, accompanied by the singing of the Chinese officers, Yang Guang, Gao Ying, Wang Shao and other three people dressed in court clothes, followed each other into the council hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Yang Guang was in the center, Gao Ying was on the left, and Wang Shao was on the right, and they sat down in turn, and a military meeting to formally determine the strategy of the war Chen began.

Before the generalissimo's mansion governor Shi and Shangshu's left servant Gao Ying officially announced the deployment of the troops of the East Road to attack Chen, and before the battle strategy, Sima of the Generalissimo's Mansion and Shangshu's right servant shot Wang Shao read out to the participating Zhu Wenwu again the edict of the Sui Gaozu Yang Jian, as well as the edict of the marshal of the march of the Three Routes. The civil and military ministers who participated in the meeting were all prostrate on the ground, and the mountains shouted long live.

After the civil and military ministers who participated in the meeting stood up, Gao Ying slowly stood up, first bowed to Yang Guang, stepped around a few times, stood in front of the steps, and said loudly: "The generalissimo has an order, and the strategy of the battle of Chen's surprise attack and the four-way soldiers and horses go hand in hand. First of all, it is necessary to state that as follows, all the troops and horses commanded by Gao Mou's unnamed generals shall be stationed in the same place, and shall not act rashly, let alone launch any offensive against the enemy without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ”

The generals at the meeting clasped their fists and said: "The last general is willing to obey the generalissimo's military orders." ”

"Cut down Chen's first road soldiers and horses, and Yan Rong, the head of the march, listened to the order." To the surprise of the participants, Gao Ying's first general order was awarded to Luocong Gong Yanrong, who was ordered to transfer south from Hebei not long ago.

"The end will be." Yan Rong raised his head and saluted Gao Ying with a fist.

"There must be no mistake in ordering Er and others to lead their troops and horses to cross the river from the East China Sea and launch an attack on Wuzhou on the south bank of the Great River." Gao Ying turned around and took out a golden order from the several cases in front of Yang Guang and handed it to Yan Rong.

Yan Rong took the order with both hands, saluted Yang Guang, Gao Ying, and Wang Shao, and returned to the train.

"The secretary of the Huainan Provincial Military Department, and the governor of Shouzhou, Yuwenshu, listened to the order." Gao Ying pulled out the second general order, looked at Yu Wenshu and shouted.

"The end will be."

"Ming'er and others led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and the soldiers and horses of Du Yan, the head of the march, a total of 30,000 people, from the date of the order to be moved to the west of Guangling, ready to cross the river at any time, there must be no mistake."

Gao Ying conveyed the dismissal order to Yu Wenshu, and specially explained: "Your people and horses are the main force of the Chinese army in this war, and the generalissimo and Gao will follow your troops and horses to move, and you must pay special attention to the protection near the barracks." ”

Yu Wenshu didn't expect that the heavy responsibility of commanding the main force of the Chen Zhongjun would fall on his shoulders, and immediately responded excitedly: "Get the order." He took the golden order with both hands and returned to the train.

"Sima Wang Shao of the Marshal's Mansion and Zhang Heng of the Duji Office listen to the order." Gao Ying passed down two general orders one after another, and sent two ways to cross the river to attack Chen's soldiers and horses, but awarded the third order to Wang Shao and Zhang Heng.

Wang Shao stood up in response, walked down the steps, stood side by side with Zhang Heng in front of Gao Ying, and said, "The lower officials listen to the order." ”

"There must be no mistake in ordering Er and others to stay in Jiangbei for the time being, to coordinate the military resources, grain and other matters needed by the various armies crossing the river, and to coordinate the actions of the armies in Jiangbei at the same time."

After Wang Shao and Zhang Heng took the arrows and returned to work, Gao Ying smiled, turned to Yang Guang and said, "The two most important arrows should be issued by the generalissimo himself." ”

Yang Guang knew that Gao Ying was deliberately highlighting his prestige in front of the generals in the army, so he smiled lightly, stood up from his seat, and swept his eyes from the generals standing at the bottom of the stairs one by one, and first fixed on Han Baohu's body.

Seeing this situation, He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, who was standing side by side with Han Baohu, was about to hold his fists and open his mouth to grab the order, but saw Yang Guang's gaze passing over Han Baohu, and finally fell on him, and ordered in a deep voice: "He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, listens to the order." ”

When He Ruobi heard that Yang Guang ordered him to come out to listen to the order, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately glanced at Han Baohu beside him with a slightly smug gaze, stepped out of the ranks, and replied with his head raised and his fists: "He Ruobi is here, please give the order of the generalissimo." ”

Yang Guang did not pass on the general order to He Ruobi alone at this time, but immediately turned to Han Baohu, and ordered: "Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou, listens to the order." ”

Han Baohu was feeling annoyed and unhappy because Yang Guang had passed on He Ruobi's order, and when he heard Yang Guang immediately called his name again, he grinned and said, "I'll just say, how could the generalissimo fall behind." Han Baohu listened to the order. ”

"He Ruobi, Han Baohu." Yang Guang's gaze swept back and forth on the two generals, and emphasized, "This marshal has agreed with Gao Changshi and Wang Sima that this time the East Route Army will cross the river to attack Chen, and be the first to attack Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen Emperor, and then gradually occupy other state cities in Southern Chen after capturing Jiankang." And the main force to attack Jiankang is to be played by the two of you leading the troops and horses of the headquarters, what else do you two have to say about this? ”

He Ruobi and Han Baohu quickly glanced at each other, and replied aloud in unison: "The last general has no objections, just ask the generalissimo to give an order." ”

"Good. He Ruobi, I order you to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to cross the river from Yantou Zhu at the right time, quickly take southern Xuzhou, and enter Jiangshan east of Jiankang. Han Baohu, I order you to lead the men and horses of your headquarters, choose the opportunity to cross the river from quarrying, quickly take Gushu, and occupy the new forest west of Jiankang, there must be no mistake. Yang Guang picked up two arrows at the same time and awarded them to He Ruobi and Han Baohu respectively.

"Could the generalissimo please make it clear that the so-called choice of opportunity is to decide the date of crossing the river by the last general?" Han Baohu listened very sincerely, and questioned Yang Guang's command on the spot.

Yang Guang admired Han Baohu's quick response, smiled, turned to look at Gao Ying, and replied to Han Baohu: "As for the meaning of the word opportunity, it is still up to Dugu Gong to say it alone and listen to the two managers." ”
