"Shank you, you still have to know how to make choices and not lose the overall situation in a moment of impulse!" Seeing the true gold-like appearance, everyone in the palace was silent, worried that they would do something irrational in their rage. At this time, the Central Secretariat Pingzhang State Affairs Officer Li Qian came forward to report.

Li Qian was as famous as Xu Yan, Meng Qi and Yan Fu, and was known as the "Four Heroes of Dongping" and ranked first. He was summoned by Wang Pan, a predecessor of the Dongping School, as an official. During his work in the court, he established constitutions for the country, formulated disciplines, and provided decisions for Kublai Khan's rule, and became an important minister of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, when Li Qian was ordered to teach, he was the real gold for the crown prince, and later contributed a lot to his succession and served as the Left Chief of the Secretariat.

However, due to financial difficulties, Zhenjin re-activated Brother Sang, who was the State Affairs Office of the Shangshu and the Left Chief Secretary of the Shangshu. Li Qian was excluded and changed to the State Affairs Office of the Central Secretary Pingzhang. This position seemed to be a high-ranking minister, but in fact he had a position but no power, which was equivalent to being held high but had no actual power. However, he was an imperial teacher with a transcendent status, and was often summoned by Zhenjin to the palace for advice on state affairs.

"Sir... I'm losing my composure!" Zhen Jin immediately fell silent and looked at Li Qian calmly. After a while, he said, "North Korea is now in full swing from Ezhou to Jiangkou along the Yangtze River defense line, and the two Huaihe towns were successively lost. However, most of our army's two Mongolian capitals, Wanhu Prefecture, went south to Jiangdong, and some surrendered or defeated. However, the Song army still advanced northward, as if to invade the Central Plains and threaten the capital. What should we do now? Please give advice from Mr.

"Khan, the Song army came in from the north this time fiercely, but it is not enough to worry. As long as it is handled properly, the Song army will be able to be driven out of Jiangbei!" Li Qian stroked his beard and said calmly.

"Li Pingzhang, the Song army did not only launch an attack from one place, the front line was thousands of miles long, and the current troops that our army could mobilize was only the personal guards in the capital area, and there were many places to farm. Even if we could be summoned to intercept immediately, the front line was long and our troops were insufficient. If we scattered and defended everywhere, there was the possibility of being annihilated one by one; if we were concentrated and defended to the dangerous land, we could not stop the enemy troops there, and there was also the possibility of being encircled and annihilated. It would be better to retreat to Shangdu and mobilize the grassland troops to attack the main force of the enemy and force them to withdraw their troops!" Seeing his confident appearance, Brother Sang said disdainfully.

The bureaucratic system in Mongolia was not as clear as that of the Song Dynasty. Instead, the boundaries of civil and military officials before the Han Dynasty were unclear, and they changed their identities entirely according to their needs. Many people said that they would take off the horse and lead the army. Although Sang Ge, Boyan, An Tong and others were in the prime minister, they all had the experience of leading troops to fight. But like Li Qian, Ye Li and Xu Yan, they were all Confucian scholars and had no experience in commanding troops to join the army. Therefore, Sang Ge looked down on these Confucian scholars who talked about military affairs on paper. Now Li Qian said that he had a plan to withdraw his troops, so he naturally did not believe it.

"Khan, the Southern Dynasties' Northern Expedition can be said to have mobilized the entire country's troops, but their troops are only 400,000. In order to encircle and suppress the Yuxi Timur Legion, which has penetrated into Jiangdong, must have left heavy troops, and in addition to deal with the wars between Sichuan and Sichuan and Yunnan. In this way, only half of the troops can be used for the Northern Expedition will have to face the thousands of miles of fronts, and the troops are not sufficient." Li Qian ignored Brother Sang's provocation and analyzed.

"I dare not agree with Pingzhang's words, but now all the Song army units are advancing together, attacking cities and camps and catching them without any fatigue. It can be seen that their troops are sufficient, not as Pingzhang said!" An Tong shook his head and said.

"This is what I want to say. The Song army is currently able to advance quickly because our dynasty is stationed in Huainan. The troops of the two capitals of Huainan were all transferred, so that there was no war in the battle, so that they could enter. But even so, the Song army did not make steady progress, but made rapid advances. The routes of the army were all attacking along major roads or rivers, and did not divide their troops to attack remote prefectures and counties. It can be seen that its purpose was to capture the important towns of the two Huainans, and try our best to control the strategic points and defend them before our reinforcements arrived, and then slowly manage the newly occupied land!" Li Qian said slowly.

"Ping Zhang said that he had not expressed any strategy to break the enemy. What's the use of the current war?" Yue Chi Cha'er heard it for a long time and felt that there was nothing new and could not help but say anxiously.

"Don't be anxious. This battle is vast, not a battle for one city and one place. Therefore, you must look at the overall situation to simplify the complex and apply the right medicine!" Li Qian's face was still calm with honor and disgrace. He was not affected by his bad words and argued. Instead, he asked the real gold and everyone to move to the Dayuan Map.

"Pretending to be a ghost..." Brother Sang followed Dahan and muttered.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Brother Sang's muttering was unexpectedly heard by Zhen Jin. He whispered, "Pingzhang is a talented man who can plan and win thousands of miles away, and it is not something you can do if you are a fool."

"Yes, yes, little stupid!" Brother Sang nodded and said with a humble voice.

"Khan, please see, my colleagues!" Everyone came to the huge map hanging on the wall. The eunuch had already removed the covered curtain. Li Qian walked closer to the front, "Although the Southern Dynasty advanced this time, they were divided into several north attacks, but in fact they had their own goals, namely Xiangyang in Jingxiang area, Guangzhou in Huaixi, Shouzhou, Zhongli in Zhongli, Xuyi in Huaidong, and Shanyang..."

"Everyone knows these, there is no need to say much. Please explain the strategy to defeat the enemy!" An Tong saw that he talked about the current situation again and urged him to get to the point of view with some displeasure.

"Don't be anxious!" Li Qian said with a smile, "Everyone knows that Xiangyang is an important town that controls the river and the Han River waterways; there are Tongbai and Funiu Mountains in Guangzhou, which can protect Huaixi; while Shouzhou, Zhongli, Xuyi and Shanyang are important channels to lead to Huaibei. As long as these important towns are controlled, you can approach the Central Plains to the north and protect the safety of the two Huaihe Rivers to the south."

"Pingzhang, these are all things that are known to the generals. The Southern Dynasty occupied these important places, so naturally they were going north!" Zhen Jin felt that Li Qian's words were not new, and he was a little disappointed.

"Khan, I think it is because everyone knows that it is easier to ignore it." Li Qian bowed and replied, "The pseudo-emperor of the Southern Dynasty has always taken the restoration of the Central Plains as his mission, but he has always been cautious in his actions, always planning and never making a reckless move. His command of warfare is also to consume our army's strength, not to seize land."

"Is there any evidence to say this?" An Tong frowned. He felt that Li Qian's words seemed contradictory, but he felt that they were reasonable, but he could not understand them for a moment.

"The pseudo-emperor of the Southern Dynasty was not famous at the beginning, but when he went to fight, he captured Guangzhou with three thousand mobs, and wiped out all the Dalu-Huachi, who was guarding 2,000 people. However, after plundering all the property of Guangzhou, he moved to the deserted Qiongzhou, and did not stay in the world-rich Guangzhou. Later, he ambushed and pursued Liu Shen's troops in Qizhouyang, Qiongzhou, and sank them, and seized more than 400 warships. Liu Shen was saved by himself!" Li Qian talked happily.

"After that, he entered the dynasty alone to inherit the throne, defeated Zhang Hongfan in Yashan, and the two brothers died. Only a thousand of our dynasty's army escaped; later he attacked Quanzhou and defeated Suodu, and the Pu family was destroyed by him, and all 30,000 elite soldiers were lost. The King of Zhennan should be the clearest in the following years. Ali Hague dispatched troops several times to conquer Qiongzhou, losing nearly 100,000 troops, but failed to take a step into Qiongzhou."

"What is the use of Ping Zhang's re-mentioned old things and what does it have to do with the current war!" Tuo Huan said unhappily after hearing this.

"Haha, I have no intention of ridicule!" Li Qian Chong bowed to Tuo Huan, who looked angry and said, "The King of Zhennan should know that after several battles, our elite navy was almost completely damaged and could no longer compete with him. His warships ran rampant along the southeast coast, and within fifty miles of the inland, he was also unobstructed. But why did he still stay trapped in the small land of Qiongzhou, but he never wanted to occupy any big city along the river?"

"This only shows that he is timid and dare not fight our army on land!" Tuo Huan was revealed and he was unable to argue, so he could only say angrily.

"Maybe there is, but why can he quickly advance into Jiangnan and capture Jiangdong and Huguang after the great service of Shizu?" Li Qian asked back.

"I went to the upper part to attend the funeral at that time, so how can I know!" Tuo Huan snorted coldly.

"Please help Ping Zhang to solve the problem!" Zhen Jin was also puzzled by this. He couldn't figure out why the Mongolian army that swept the world was vulnerable to the Song army and was defeated quickly. After he stabilized the court, he didn't even have the chance to mobilize troops.

"This is exactly the cleverness of the pseudo-emperor of the Southern Dynasties. He knew that with his initial strength, he could not compete with our dynasty, and he was even more unable to defend the captured territory, and would quickly lose his limited force. In Qiongzhou, he could occupy natural dangers, use limited force to defend the small land, and use the advantageous naval army to deal with our army at sea, waiting for an opportunity to encircle and annihilate it. Now it seems that when the Khan sent troops to expedition to Cham City and Annan, it was also his deception that the Khan sent troops to Cham City, inducing the Khan to send troops to Cham City, thereby reducing its pressure and consuming a large number of troops stationed in Jiangnan." Li Qian sighed lightly, as if he was regretting his later consciousness.

"Well, it's possible." Zhen Jin nodded thoughtfully, "The father Khan decided to send troops to Cham City back to Qiongzhou, which was related to the news that Liu Mengyan went to Qiongzhou to bring back the pseudo-Kunming to Cham City and Annan formed an alliance to fight against our Dayuan. Now, he thought about it, he was just a young man, and he was so meticulous, and he thought about it very terrifying!"

"That's right!" Li Qian pondered for a moment, "It is precisely because the large number of garrisons in Jiangnan were drawn to expedition to Jiangnan, and most of the elite troops were lost in previous battles with the puppet dynasty, allowing them to take advantage of the new demise of Emperor Shizu. The Khan's throne was not yet determined, and the court's civil strife captured Jiangnan!"

"Pingzhang means to use the same tricks of the pseudo-emperor of the Southern Dynasty again?" An Tong seemed to have figured out something, raised his eyebrows and said.

"Well, guarding the river must guard the Huai River is a consensus among the knowledgeable people throughout the ages. After the pseudo-dynasty occupied Jiangnan, they failed to occupy Huai South, so they had to deploy heavy troops to defend the south bank of the Yangtze River. Although they were able to temporarily ensure safety, it was ultimately a problem!" Li Qian looked at An Tong and said.
