Wang Kui walked back and forth on the deck, walked a few steps towards the helmsman at the stern. He felt something was wrong, so he returned and shouted to the sailor to paddle.

Changsun Hong grabbed him and advised: "We are on the water, so we can't come in a hurry. Let's sit down first and make a long-term plan."

Wang Kui jumped a few times before calming down, sat down as he spoke, and said to Changsun Hong with a blush on his face: "Yes, I can't come in a hurry. I've decided. When I go back, we will expand our army and send us to do it in detail. After everything is ready, we will take action."

"It is easy to defeat it. The Beilu did not leave many Mongolians in the north. Most of the people guarding the various places were Fan Yongji. Yelu Chucai from Guanzhong was recuperating. There would be no major Beilu to move south of the Qinling Mountains. If we attacked it, there would not be much resistance." Changsun Hong put his face seriously and said seriously: "But you must be able to defend it after the battle, otherwise it will take only effort. Once it is thrown away again, it will not only lose the soldiers' food and grass, but also destroy the fruits of Sichuan's hard work in the past two years."

Good words warn the world, Changsun Hong's words were like cold water in his pocket, which made Wang Kui wake up suddenly.

Yes, it is the king to attack and defend it. Otherwise, once you advance and retreat, your door will be opened.

"The second brother said it is reasonable." Wang Kui suddenly calmed down, and the impulse on his blood flashed. He frowned and touched his beard, and said in a deep voice: "Sichuan is now in ruins. Although it has been hard to revive the wasteland in the past two years. But after several years of devastation, how could it be restored in one or two years? The Northern Barbarians were cruel, and the land they passed by was turned into ruins, with no people and animals alive. Half of the four roads of Sichuan Gorges were destroyed in the wars of the previous years. Even now, there are only a hundred households in some counties, no people and barren fields, and the war relies on people and money and food, no one has no money, and there is no income. Instead, they have to spend a lot of effort to trap and guard the city everywhere. It is not a good thing for us who are suffering from resources."

"It's right for the eldest brother to think so." Changsun Hong stretched his brows and high-fives and praised: "What are the eldest brother planning to do?"

Wang Kui seemed to be smiling and stared at Changsun Hong: "Second brother wants to take the exam for me?"

He waved his hand: "As soon as the war begins, there is no way out. Whenever the battle is in progress, we must fight steadily and take steps forward to the best strategy. I think the Northern Governors will be in a civil strife and splitting together, and we will not stop for a year or two. We can completely plan for the long term and come up with a strategy that can control it farther."

Changsun Hong looked at him with relief and found that his trip to Lin'an seemed to have made this great man who was a civil servant and a military general mature. He was no longer as impulsive as before. Although he was still passionate, he could calm down and let go.

"That's right, but I have something to say, please consider it." Changsun Hong nodded and continued: "The big plan can be used slowly, but now, there is another important point, and I have to take advantage of the opportunity to win it with thunder."

Wang Kui's eyes lit up: "What the second brother is talking about... Jiange!"

Changsun Hong clapped his high-high again and raised his eyebrows and said, "It is this place! The key to Jiange Shu, the Chengdu barrier is more important than Yangping Pass in Hanzhong. The enemy occupied it, and there will never be any peace in the Chengdu plain. Just like now, the Mongolian cavalry will come whenever they want, and go as they want, and we will go as we want. We want to develop and farm, and live forever under their blade. When we occupy it, there will be no worries in the river, and the rear is as stable as Mount Tai. Business travelers do not have to be afraid, and farmers do not have to be afraid. Whether hoarding land or opening land, or even the tent opened in Rongzhou, they will not be influenced by the Mongolians."

"There is natural danger in Jiange, and it is difficult to attack Sichuan from Hanzhong to enter the sky, while it is easier to attack Jiangge from Sichuan. As long as the plan is carefully planned and unexpectedly, you can completely take it down."

Wang Kui listened carefully and nodded. Changsun Hong further said: "Now, the big brother has only 50,000 soldiers under his tent, most of them are newly affiliated civilians. There are only a few thousand soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have seen blood. It is difficult to grow up with daily training alone. Fighting a small-scale war will be beneficial to them."

"Although Dali is also short of people, it can still produce 10,000 or 20,000 people. These are all soldiers who can stand up at critical moments. It is not a big problem to deal with the Beilu who guards the Jiange."

Wang Kui thought for a while and asked, "Jianmen Pass belongs to Longqing Prefecture. Longqing Prefecture was burned by the Mongols and has not been rebuilt yet. Before coming to Jiangnan, the one who guarded Jiange was a barbarian general named Chihuolu of Mongolia. The northern barbarians of Hanzhong entered Sichuan to attack Caogu in recent years, and they all used Jianmen Pass. Chihuolu were all pioneer generals. If they wanted to take Jianmen Pass, they would probably be this person."

"I also know this. This person has more than 2,000 people under his command, three thousand Han soldiers, and two Han people and thousands of households to assist in defense. Tens of thousands of people were captured in the pass to support his enslavement." Changsun Hong analyzed: "The year before yesterday, the Marshal of the Northern Captain Capital, Wang Dechen, invaded the invasion and returned in Chengdu without success. Chihuolu did not dare to come out. This shows that this person is not brave enough. He retreated into the pass and harassed the neighboring four sides. If he did not meet our brigade, we would have a great chance of victory."

"With the Jiange being taken away, Chengdu can be built on a large scale without worrying about harassing the grass valley every year. The people can go out of the city to farm with confidence and boldness, and the wasteland in the distance can be developed without the need to pay military power to guard and prepare. No matter how you think about it, it will be a good thing to kill one stone."

"As for whether the Beilu would detour Tubo, insert Dali from the side, and bypass the natural danger of Jiange, that's another matter. If the Mongolians really do this, it would be very wise, because there is more high and farther away than Chengdu, and the defense is lax, it is indeed very dangerous to fight."

Changsun Hong smiled and pointed at himself: "But it's different now. If Dali were still the leader of the people before, the Mongolians might have really circumvented the plans we worked hard to build and the mountain city defense system and appeared behind us. But if it were me, that wouldn't have happened."

He pinched his fists and touched them in the air: "I will let them know that sometimes playing sneak attacks is not easier than a frontal attack!"

"I am naturally restless with my second brother in Dali." Wang Kui laughed and was very happy: "Since that's the case, we will settle down first. After we go back, we can start to attack the Jiange. We will attack the mountain. The second brother's ghost soldiers must show their skills!"

"Of course, but, brother, I have to set the rules and set the rules for the Rongzhou Deliberations. This is the charter, so you can take a look first."

Changsun Hong seemed to be waiting for him to say this, and he took out a stack of manuscripts from his arms and handed them to Wang Kui.

Wang Kui took it speechlessly, blinked his eyes at Changsun Hong: "Ah, are you all ready?"

He didn't hurry to look at Changsun Hong either, looking at him with a somewhat pitiful and helpless look: "Have you left me some soup?"

Changsun Hong smiled and said, "It's not just soup, it's all meat and bones. Don't worry, Dali and Xichuan are dependent on each other. I won't do selfish things. Only when Xichuan develops well can Dali have a way out. I understand this principle."

Wang Kui was relieved, grinned, and quickly lowered his head to see what was written on the paper.
