603 Burning Yangtze River (43)

The county hall in Xiazhi County was exceptionally silent, and as soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, everyone present fell into deep thought.

After a while, the ministers began to express their opinions and express their plans.

Everyone, you and I are talking a word, chattering and calling non-stop, making the hall full of people, because the voice is too noisy, what they said, Zhang Yan didn't hear a word.

"Be quiet, don't swarm all your plans in a swarm, after the banquet, you all go back to your own rooms, write out all the plans you have in mind, and then I will browse them one by one and choose the most secure plan." Zhang Yan couldn't help it anymore and shouted loudly.

To write out their own construction, such a simple thing, but it is difficult to stand those who can't write, a few people glanced at each other, and after looking at each other, they were dumbfounded.

Zhang Yan had a unique eye, and had already noticed this, and immediately said: "If you don't know how to write, you can find someone to write it on your behalf, you dictate it, others record it, before today's Shen Shi, I want to see the plan played by all of you." ”

After the words fell, those old and rough people who couldn't write nodded happily.

Then, Zhang Yan raised the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and said to the people present: "Everyone, the official affairs are put aside for the time being, if the food is cold, it will not taste good, this time to pacify Jiangdong and eliminate the Sun family, this king will rely on you a lot, come, let's raise a glass together, this king respects you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the audience stood up one after another. Raise your glass. Drank this glass of wine with Zhang Yan.

Afterwards. The banquet began, everyone drank heartily, ate a lot of food, and after they were full of wine and food, only some leftovers were left in front of everyone, and they all dispersed contentedly.

After everyone left the county hall, they were all idle, but returned to their respective rooms. I began to write down my thoughts and put a detailed strategic plan on paper. And the few old men who couldn't write called a few clerks, and they talked about flowers, let the clerks listen, and then recorded them little by little, and organized them into written words.

Before the time of application, Zhang Yan received many strategic plans one after another, all of which were placed on the bookcase in front of him, and a thick pile was piled up.

Next. Zhang Yan began to read the strategic plans written by these ministers of civil and military affairs one by one, and read them all seriously.

Thereinto. There are many people's opinions that basically coincide, so it can be seen that it is true that the hero's views are slightly the same. However, when these strategic plans are broken down in detail, it is nothing more than a matter of attacking by water or land.

Among them, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong agreed on the same opinion, and always insisted on attacking first from the waterway, and the two strategic plans formulated can also be said to be relatively close, the two young talents were not afraid of the Jiangdong Navy led by Zhou Yu at all, but chose to directly face the Jiangdong Navy led by Zhou Yu, and always believed that Zhou Yu was the elite of the entire Jiangdong, as long as Zhou Yu was eliminated first, not only could he completely eliminate his worries, but also give the enemy a heavy blow in morale.

Zhang Yan carefully looked at the strategic plan formulated by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, compared it carefully, and finally concluded that Zhuge Liang's plan was relatively conservative and belonged to the kind of stable and steady attack.

At the beginning of the war, he relied on the tactics of the sea of people and the advanced weapons of the Han army to launch the most fierce offensive against Zhou Yu's army, trapping the Jiangdong Navy and Zhou Yu in the camp of the water army, not giving the Jiangdong Navy any chance to breathe, completely crushing the sharp spirit of the Jiangdong Navy and making it impossible for the Jiangdong Navy to come out to meet the battle, so that the Jiangdong Navy was equivalent to losing its usefulness.

To be honest, Zhang Yan admired Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's construction very much, and if he wanted to choose to attack from the waterway, the strategic plan of the two of them could be chosen.

However, the only people who chose to attack from the waterway were Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and the rest did not know what the reason was, so they all chose to attack from the land, that is, to concentrate their forces in the Jinling area, and then launch a fierce offensive against Jiangdong from the land, making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

Among them, the strategic plans formulated by Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Lu Meng, Lu Su and others are relatively good, and even the chosen offensive route and offensive method are basically the same. and even the grand plan of the entire Gangnam region.

In the Han army under Zhang Yan, the army is the most powerful, and there are many elite troops, all of which have been accumulated in the years of fighting in the east and west, and in the south and in the north. However, the navy of the Han army was extremely poor, although Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others also trained the navy in Xunyang, but the effect was not particularly obvious, coupled with Zhou Yu's harassment from time to time, so that the training of the navy has been in an abnormal stage, and the progress is very slow.

The navy is not strong, and it has also become a major weakness of the Han army, although the Jingzhou navy is now incorporated, but the Jingzhou navy has been lacking generals who can understand water warfare to command, and the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou navy is not as good as before, compared with the Jiangdong navy that is at its peak, there are naturally some deficiencies.

Zhang Yan rummaged through all the strategic plans, but he didn't see Sima Yi, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could it be that he lost it?

Later, when Zhang Yan asked, he learned that Sima Yi did not send his strategic plan at all.

Zhang Yan then sent someone to summon Sima Yi and asked Sima Yi to come over and ask what was going on.

Sima Yi, like everyone else, lived in the guest room of the county office, which was very close to the hall, Zhang Yan sent someone to summon Sima Yi, and after a while, Sima Yi came to the hall of the county government.

"Weichen see His Royal Highness King Yan!" As soon as Sima Yi entered the county hall, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." Zhongda. You sit down first. ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Yan!"

After Sima Yi sat down. He asked, "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan has to summon his ministers over?" ”

"There is no command, but there is a question." Zhang Yan said, "This king has rummaged through the strategic plan sent by everyone, but he has not seen you, I don't know if you didn't send it, or if this king lost it?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Qiqi, it was Weichen who didn't send it." Sima Yi said.

Zhang Yan asked, "Everyone else has sent it, why didn't you send it?" Have you forgotten it? ”

Sima Yi shook his head. said: "Your Highness, it was Weichen who didn't want to send it over." ”

"Why?" Zhang Yan hurriedly asked.

Sima Yi explained: "Your Highness Qiqi, now that there are many resourceful people gathered here, the strategy they come up with will definitely be very good, and Weichen thinks that the strategic plan he has come up with is not comparable to theirs, so he is ashamed of himself and does not dare to send it." And even if Weichen's strategic plan is sent, His Highness may not adopt it, but it will make His Highness angry. So. Wechen had no choice but not to send it. ”

"This king has always been broad-minded, even if your construction is not appropriate. The king will never blame you. Although there are many wise people gathered here, don't forget jì, the people I have gathered here are all elites in the Han army, and you also belong to one of these elites, you should not be so self-defeating, you should believe in yourself, you are also the best. Besides, your plan was not shown to this king at all, how do you know that this king will not adopt your proposal? Zhang Yan said.

Sima Yi said: "Because in Weichen's strategic plan, if you want to implement it, you must keep it secret, and the people who know the entire strategic plan must not exceed three people, and it may damage the reputation of His Royal Highness King Yan, in addition, when the strategic plan is implemented, it may also cause criticism and dissatisfaction from many ministers." Therefore, after thinking about it, Wei Chen still felt that he would not show it to His Highness. ”

When Zhang Yan heard Sima Yi say this, he was extremely interested in the strategic plan formulated by Sima Yi, so he said to Sima Yi: "This king wants to see what the strategic plan you come up with will look like, and show it to this king!" ”

Sima Yi shook his head heavily and said, "Your Highness, I still don't think it's a good ......."

"If you want to bring it, you will take it, what nonsense! Hurry up and take it out! Zhang Yan shouted loudly.

Sima Yi saw that Zhang Yan was angry, and in desperation, he had no choice but to take out the strategic plan he had formulated from his arms and present it to Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan took Sima Yi's strategic plan, he hurriedly browsed it, and when he looked at this plan carefully, his complexion changed, his brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly raised his eyelids to look at Sima Yi, and there seemed to be a trace of resentment in his eyes.

Sima Yi saw that Zhang Yan had caught a glimpse of his gaze so deep, and knew that Zhang Yan had seen the key place, so he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Zhang Yan's gaze, and skillfully avoided it. However, just as he lowered his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting, and no one noticed it except him.

Zhang Yan continued to browse Sima Yi's strategic plan, and after reading it carefully from beginning to end, his face looked a little heavy.

"This king has read this strategic plan of yours, although there are some places in it that may be detrimental to the reputation of this king, but in order to seize Jiangdong, eliminate the Sun clan, and pacify the entire Jiangnan, this king thinks that your plan is very feasible. Compared with the strategic plan offered by others, it is much more rigorous and insidious......"

Sima Yi pricked up his ears and stood there listening quietly, his heart was also full of confidence, he believed that his strategy, as long as Zhang Yan read it carefully and carefully, would definitely adopt it.

"However, compared with the unification of the country, the reputation of this king is nothing at all, this king will solemnly tell you now, this king is ready to adopt this strategic plan you sent, if your plan is really so effective, after the pacification of Jiangdong, this king will definitely reward you heavily." Zhang Yan then said.

After Sima Yi heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and when he raised his head, this smile disappeared, replaced by a look of uneasiness, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, do you want to think about it again?" ”

"This king has thought very clearly, among all the strategic plans, the strategic plan you have formulated is the most special, although it takes a long time, it can reduce many casualties, and it is also one of the most feasible plans. Instead of expending a huge amount of troops to take the initiative to attack Jiangdong, it is better to adopt your plan and use the static brake. Zhang Yan said.

Sima Yi said: "Your Highness, have you really decided to use Weichen's strategic plan?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded heavily and said: "You can rest assured, since I have decided to adopt this strategic plan of yours, I have enough control, and tomorrow I will officially appoint you as the chief military division of this operation, and it is up to you how to operate it." ”

Sima Yi's face did not have a look of joy, but a layer of worry, and asked, "Your Highness, do you know the story of the three of them becoming tigers?" (To be continued......)
