Chapter 14: Livelihoods due to salt (II)

"Then let's talk about it!" Wang Menglong could not wait. He thought he would completely cover the sky in Jingzhou. He thought that he was now forced to retreat to Xiangyang by Deng Hui's reinforcements. Wang Menglong now urgently needed a way to solve his current predicament and a dilemma.

"The grass-roots dare not be negligent." Zhang Yu stood up in panic and looked at Wang Menglong, not knowing how his plan would be ridiculed and coldly treated.

"Now my strength of the Jing army has increased greatly. It is indeed an excellent time to occupy Jingzhou. However, this matter should be discussed for a long time. Xinye was occupied by Deng Hui's reinforcements. In this way, Nanyang County cannot be rushed to be taken back. At the same time, Deng Hui's army should be sent to three groups at the same time. The uprisings in Yizhou and Yangzhou must be suppressed and eliminated. In this way, Deng Hui's army has no chance to go to Xiangyang. At such an excellent time, we should go to Yangzhou and Xuzhou as soon as possible to occupy their salt mines, and at the same time unify the refugees who work together to strengthen our power to control the Jing army!" Zhang Yu said.

When Song Yi and Wang Menglong were saying these words, they both listened seriously. Unexpectedly, when they finished speaking, Song Yi laughed: "I really didn't expect that your plan was actually a plan to quit the army and support the people. It was really ridiculous. Just a few cans of salt?" Song Yi put away his smile, but never thought that Zhang Yu was such a person without a plan.

Wang Menglong did not rush to express his opinion, and took a step closer: "This is indeed a bit inappropriate, Military Advisor Zhang Yu, I don't know if you have discussed it with General Xu Jiang. This strategy to occupy the salt mine is indeed a bit immature and irrelevant!" Wang Menglong said.

I thought it was a divine strategy, but I didn't expect it to be an irrelevant strategy.

Just now, Xu Jiang and Yang Sui came in together.

Xu Jiang was still a little surprised when he saw Zhang Yu.

"Mr. Zhang turned out to be in front of the General's palace." Xu Jiang said.

"Come and listen to your military advisor's plan, and I will make my stomach hurt!" Song Yi said to Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang didn't know what happened, but Song Yi's smile made Xu Jiang feel a little uncomfortable. He was Wang Menglong's deputy general. Song Yi was so bold that he really felt uncomfortable.

Xu Jiang heard what Zhang Yu said clearly, but he felt a little unhappy. What were Zhang Yu’s ideas? It was so ridiculous.

"Dear generals, if my plan is ridiculous, I will treat it as if it is not effective for the people. However, now there are not many salt grains in our army, and this salt grain is insignificant. However, the soldiers with salt are indeed comfortable and strong. At the same time, Yangzhou needs a team to integrate. It is the most suitable for me to control the Jing army. If it is suppressed by Deng Hui's army, it will be our loss. The salt mine in Yangzhou is still greater than the current one. When it is occupied by my Jing army, it will also defeat the force of the Greater than. These things seem to have arisen from salt, but the result is not simple. A few cans of salt!" After Zhang Yu said that, he stopped talking.

The lights were faint, and Zhang Yu was angry that his daytime strategy had not received any attention in front of his case. Such a good strategy was not something that Yang Sui and Song Yi could think of now. Although these people were able to get along with each other to defeat the enemy, their lack of foresight were the most fatal factors. If the Yu Jing army had no far-sighted thinking, it would be better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light earlier. Zhang Yu thought so.

"Those people don't understand you, I can understand, so don't worry!" Wang Jiujin walked up and said, after a busy day, Wang Jiujin looked very tired.

"You don't understand. If there is no sober person in this army, we don't have to follow." Zhang Yu said.

After hearing this, Wang Jiujin felt a little uncomfortable all over. He might cause trouble if he said such words, but the anger in his heart could not be revealed if he didn't say them.

"The Yujing Army was originally a peasant uprising. The result of this is destruction. If there is no concept of the overall situation, it will die sooner or later!" Zhang Yu said, with a sad face on his face. Wang Jiujin seemed to have some ability to be a state governor or county magistrate, but he just has no place to play now.

It was getting late at night, and Wang Menglong was still handling cases in his mansion. Military information from various places was sent here at this time. According to Wang Menglong's instructions, information from various counties would be sent every three days. These are where Wang Menglong feels comfortable.

At this moment, a distinguished guest came to the mansion, Wang Menglong's confidant - Xu Yang.

"General Xu Yang, I'm back. I'm so sad to wait for you!" Wang Menglong seemed to have seen an old friend, and his attitude towards Xu Yang was even more friendly than Xu Jiang.

Xu Yang paid homage to Wang Menglong, and the two made an appointment to sit in the hall.

"What's going on in Xiangyang now? I heard that General Xu Jiang has returned, and Nanyang County has been taken back by Deng Hui's army!" Xu Yang said worriedly.

"This is true, and now everyone is here. Not to mention this matter, Xu Jiang has taken over a military advisor. It was this military advisor who contributed a plan that made Xu Jiang dangerous. Now there is a plan that makes me very worried!" Wang Menglong sighed.

"What's the plan?" Xu Yang asked.

"Because of salt shortage and the army lacks salt, let us go to Yangzhou, incorporate the uprising in Yangzhou, and then occupy the ophthalm salt mine. On the one hand, we provide supplies, on the other hand, limit the attacks of the army, so... "Wang Menglong said, and he is still not particularly satisfied with these strategies.

"That's great!" Xu Yang did the opposite, and became a little excited, which surprised Wang Menglong.

"Xu Yang, I heard it right. Are you agreeing with this plan?" Wang Menglong was a little confused.

"Of course, the general has obtained a noble man. Such a plan is to look down on the world and occupy Yangzhou. Naturally, Yizhou is no problem. The Yujing Army's eyes are not just Jingzhou. The thirteen states in the world are the goal of our Yujing Army. Such a plan allows the heavy rain resources to be controlled little by little. Now, it is impossible to fight head-on. Such a plan just makes up for this defect and gives us time to buffer. Even if we lose several counties in Jingzhou, we can still get a large area of ​​land in Yizhou and Yangzhou!" Xu Yang said happily.

Wang Menglong didn't expect that Zhang Yu's plan would really have such support. Before dark, Song Yi was still advising him not to believe Zhang Yu's plan. He didn't expect that his confidant general Xu Yang would be so supportive and eager to try. As a result, Wang Menglong was a little moved.

Zhang Yu was sleeping soundly at this time and didn't know what had happened.
