…

"This plan is good everywhere, but there is a fatal loophole!"

When Tong Guan heard this, his eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said, "Oh? I don't know where the loophole is?"

Cai still seemed to not see Tong Guan's expression, but pointed to the map and said, "Please look at Xuan Xiang."

While speaking, Cai still came to the map, and then pointed to the southwest area of ​​Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province in later generations, and said: "Xuan Xiang's plan is to start implementing the march plan after the movement of each army arrived in Runzhou."

Cai still moved his finger up and pointed to Nanjing in later generations, and then said: "If I were Fang La, I would definitely seize this place as soon as possible and block the road for the government army to go south. Then, while sending a large army to defend according to the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he would not ask the government army to go south, while continuing to seize the southeastern region."

After a pause, Cai still said leisurely: "No need to pay more. As long as I can hold on for three months, at my current development speed, I can sweep across the southeast. Then I can mobilize all my troops to fight the decisive battle with the government army. After I defeated, I will cross the river and eliminate the Song Dynasty. When I am defeated, I will continue to defend according to the natural danger of the Yangtze River, divide the river with the Song Dynasty and govern it, and then slowly plan it."

After hearing this, Tong Guan's face no longer had the casual expression on his face, but became very serious. He thought to himself: "If this is true, then I'm afraid this battle will be delayed for a long time. The recovery of Yan Yun will only become far away, and it will never be possible to achieve it."

But Cai was still not finished yet, and he said: "If I am more courageous, I will send a large army to cross the river, and then bloom everywhere, leading the war from Jiangnan to Jiangbei. At that time, Jiangbei will definitely be full of war. Perhaps the people in Jiangbei will rebel against the people in Jiangnan. In that case, the government army will first pacify the Jiangbei area where the capital is located, and then cross the river and pacify the Jiangnan area. Otherwise, I will remotely control the army in Jiangbei area to directly attack Tokyo Bianliang City."

Speaking of this, Cai still looked at Tong Guan, who had already sweated coldly, and looked at other people with the same heavy expression. He continued to speak without shockingly: "If I succeed in this step and I will send a large army to defend the Yangtze River, then half of the Song Dynasty will be mine. As time goes by, the Song Dynasty without the economic support of the Southeast will inevitably become weaker and weaker, and I will become stronger and stronger. Maybe it will be three years, maybe five years, or ten years. When the Song Dynasty's problems break out in a concentrated manner, I will lead the army to kill the Yangtze River, and it will be very likely to take the Song Dynasty and replace it."

Hearing this, Tong Guan could no longer listen. He immediately turned his head and asked his aide Li Tong: "How many garrisons are there in Jinling?"

Li Tong looked at Cai Shen with fear, and then said: "There were three generals and 12,000 troops, but..."

Tong Guan is the ancestor who has been working for nothing, so how can he not understand the tricks here?

Therefore, Tong Guan was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked bluntly: "Tell me how many people are there!"

Li Tongdao: "At most three thousand."

Tong Guan's pupils shrank and he said, "Only three thousand?"

Li Tongyu said unstoppably: "Besides, most of these three thousand are the wing army."

Tong Guan wanted to scold the Jinling Guardian for being too brave. He dared to eat empty salary so much. Do you understand the rules of eating empty salary? He didn't even keep 30% of his troops. If something happens...

But Tong Guan could not make these words openly, so he could only let Li Tong take the defense map for troops.

After watching for a long time, Tong Guan couldn't find an army that could quickly rescue Jinling.

Tong Guan calculated the time silently in his heart, and then asked his other aide, Han Jian: "How long is it fastest to leave from Daming Mansion to Jinling?"

Han Jian was quite calm, and he asked without answering a question: "Who is Xuan Xiang going to send to lead the army, and how many troops are there?"

Tong Guan thought for a while and said, "Send Yang Keshi to lead the army of three thousand horses."

Han Jian calculated and said, "At the fastest time, twenty days."

"Twenty days? So long?" Tong Guan said.

Han Jian explained: "It is not as good as going south in Guanzhong. The rivers are crisscrossing here, and the horse army cannot run. They have to pass one river after another, and there are also logistical supplies issues, so it is already very optimistic in twenty days. If something happens in the middle, they may not be able to reach Jinling in a month."

"One month?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "No, I can give them ten days at most, not even one more day."

Han Jian listened to the words and remained silent.

It takes three days to go from Tokyo Bianliang City to Beijing Daming Mansion.

It will take two or three days to prepare for the war. And this is still under Yang Keshi's leadership. If it were someone else, he might not be ready to send troops in ten days.

In this way, at least six days will pass.

Therefore, it is impossible to reach Jiangling in ten days.

When everyone saw Han Jian silent, they knew Tong Guan’s request, but Han Jian couldn’t do it.

Tong Guan has been in the ranks of 20 years, so he naturally knew that his requirements were too harsh.

But the current situation does not allow Tong Guan to be in a hurry. If Jinling, which is not under heavy troops, is really occupied by Fang La, this war will be difficult to fight, and his Yan Yunmeng will only be a dream.

Tong Guan thought for a while and said, "What if it was a waterway?"

Han Jian sighed and said, "It will take so much time."

Tong Guan's brows were locked tighter, and he said, "Why does it take so much time for the waterway?"

Han Jian replied: "Our Western Army has no naval army or ships. If we want to go on the water route, we must mobilize the naval army to cooperate. The nearest naval army to Daming Mansion is the Yongji naval army. Not long ago, because it was to recover Yanyun, it was transferred to transport grain. Now it should go to the Beiwang Town area. Just transferring it back will take at least ten days. It will take longer to transfer other naval troops to Daming Mansion."

Except for Cai Shen, a guy standing aside to watch the fun, no one expected that the Fang La Uprising would suddenly break out.

Before this, all the preparations made by the Song Dynasty court were towards the north, not to the south.

Therefore, now all the navy troops are transporting grain to Hebei area. How can we just transfer it back?

"One month? Can Fang La give me a month?"

As calm as a child, he couldn't help but become worried, and even couldn't help but walk back and forth.

As he walked, Tong Guan suddenly saw Cai Jian from the corner of his eyes.

Tong Guan's heart moved, then looked at Cai Jian and asked, "What good advice do you have?"

Cai still said: "There is no good way for the generals of the Mo to the generals, but the generals have an advantage in territorial areas and have an amphibious camp and dozens of large ships, so the generals should be able to reach Jiangling within ten days."

Tong Guan was delighted when he heard this!

but--

The joy in Tong Guan's eyes flashed and he said, "In this way, your Jinwu army will be the vanguard of the entire army. I order: Your troops arrive in Jiangling within seven days and block the rebels' road to the north. If there is any delay, military law will deal with it!"

"Seven days?"

Many people smiled coldly after hearing Tong Guanzhi's words, and said to themselves: "You are overestimating your ability, will you be beaten by Xuan Xiang?"

In the eyes of others, it is impossible to lead a large army to Jiangling in seven days, even if it is by water.

You know, Cai is still in the city of Bianliang, Tokyo.

It takes two days to return to the Jinwu Army?

After returning to the Jinwu Army, it takes three days to mobilize the Jinwu Army scattered around?

With the remaining two days, even if all the soldiers of the Jinwu Army had wings, they would not be able to fly to Jinling.

In other words, in their opinion, Cai still could not complete the task assigned to him by Tong Guan, and he would definitely be dealt with by Tong Guan's military law.

Many people familiar with Tong Guan can even guess that Tong Guan will probably beat Cai Shen’s twenty-six military sticks in public, killing Cai Shen’s majesty and arrogance.

This is Tong Guan’s way of employing people. In the army, he does not allow others to disobey him, even if he has good intentions - in the army, he wants to be absolutely dominant.

Therefore, even if Cai Shen stood up to help him and the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan had to hit Cai Shen.

When will Cai Shen understand that Tong Guan must not be disobedient in the army? He lowered his arrogant head to him. Tong Guan would give Cai Shen a few sweet dates to eat, and then take Cai Shen into his pocket.

"You Cai is still not unwilling to do so. Not everyone can get the treatment of me, Tong Guan, like this - only those who I, Tong Guan, are optimistic about, can receive this honor."

"Of course, the premise is that you must be aware of the current affairs, otherwise, my Tong Guan will definitely suppress you to the end and will not give you any chance to stand out!"

It's a pity-

Tong Guan didn't know what kind of ship the wealthy Cai Shen had, nor did he know that the Jinwu Army had a communication artifact of this era - the carrier pigeon, nor did he know how fast the disciplined Jinwu Army marched, and then he didn't know that the Jinwu Army's vanguard troops could land in Jiangling in just five days.

Moreover, Tong Guan didn't know at all. Everything Cai still said to him was to scare him. Fang La, the short-sighted guy, would not choose to go north to seize Jiangling, nor to cross the river to attack Jiangbei. He only had the Southeast in his eyes, and he wanted to be the emperor in the Southeast.

In addition, Cai still never thought of standing in Tong Guan's team.

Tong Guan is the commander-in-chief, and Cai Jian’s goal is also the commander-in-chief. At least, he must divide a part of the military power from Tong Guan.

In other words, Tong Guan is actually Cai Gan’s potential competitor.

In this case, how could Cai still surrender to Tong Guan?

So, facing Tong Guan's beating, Cai still seemed to be unaware of it. He said, "Seven days, time is a bit tight, but I will definitely strive to seize Jiangling before Fang La and his gang arrive at Jiangling."

When Tong Guan heard this, his face suddenly sank, and then he smiled and said with a slight smile: "Ziyin, don't misunderstand that I asked you to lead your troops to Jiangling in seven days to target you. It's really because Jiangling is too important, time is tight and the task is heavy, so we must race against time."

Cai still said: "I will know."

Seeing that Cai was still not giving in, Tong Guan changed his tone and said, "To prevent you from being slacking off, you have to issue a military order to this commander."

Cai Shen said in his heart: "Is this to confirm what I said? Is it to deal with me with evidence in the future?"

Cai still smiled coldly in his heart, but said calmly: "It is impossible to issue a military order, but there is one thing that you will have to ask Xuan for a question first."

Tong Guan smiled yinly and said, "What's the matter?"

Cai still said: "If our Jinwu army defeated Fang La and his gang after they arrived in Jiangling, or Fang La and his gang did not go north at all, then can our Jinwu army continue to go south?"

Cai Jian hurriedly explained: "Xuan Xuan, don't get me wrong. After all, our Jinwu army only takes seven days to reach Jinling, but you will have to twenty or thirty days to reach Jinling one after another. There is a time difference of 10 or 20 days between them. If you don't make good use of it, I'm sorry that God gave us the opportunity to Song Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Cai still looked at Tong Guan, smiled brightly, and said, "And, didn't Xuan Xiang say that just now, we must race against time to deal with Fang La's rebels as soon as possible, and we can go north to recover Yan Yun as soon as possible..."
