Gao Shun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhuge Liang's strategy really suppressed another attack by the North Korean army's powerful infantry and naval forces, and once again bought valuable time for Huang Yueying to rush to build vehicles and ships.

"General, I think it's not enough to delay the North Korean army with the general's army alone. Our army in the north should also take action."

In the big tent, a former military lieutenant with a reputation for wisdom and scheming came to Gao Shun for advice.

The words of the former military lieutenant suddenly reminded Gao Shun, and he couldn't help but remember that he still had an army of more than 20,000 people stationed in the hinterland of the Central Plains, led by General Zhang Jaw, who had just conquered Liaodong by King Nie Zefeng of Chu.

This group of troops was only used by Gao Shunyuan to defend Liaodong to deal with threats from North Korea and Xianbei.

However, according to intelligence from the north, Xianbei has just put down several rebellions in its ruling area, and its military strength has not yet fully recovered from the defeat. Within a few months, it will be difficult to pose a threat to its domestic front lines.

In this case, it would seem a bit wasteful for the more than 20,000 elite infantry troops in the Central Plains to sit idle like this.

The former military lieutenant's advice just reminded Gao Shun to realize that the army of the Central Plains should also be useful.

After pondering for a long time, Gao Shun said happily: "What the general said is very true. He quickly drafted an order and sent it to the Central Plains. He ordered Zhang He to lead 5,000 infantry to ride out of Liaoyang and pretend to attack Pusan ​​eastward."

Zhang Jaw's army is the closest to Busan and will arrive in a few days.

The area around Busan is mostly inland plains, which are suitable for cavalry to roam.

Although the Korean army stationed in Busan is said to have nearly 20,000 troops, Zhang He's troops are equipped with nearly 1,000 cavalry. His 5,000 elite infantry cavalry are enough to pose a considerable threat to Pusan.

Once the northern army moves, Jin Tian will definitely be worried again.

Hearing that Gao Shun had given this order, Zhang Bao's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had been inspired by something.

"General, if we want to make the Korean army suffer, then why don't we do it more thoroughly and use the 10,000 elite infantry troops on the side of the Yalu River." Zhang Bao said excitedly.

"General, what you mean is..." Gao Shun suddenly became very interested again.

Zhang Bao pointed at the map and said: "Although Jintian has mobilized 10,000 troops and horses, the infantry and naval forces under his command still number 40,000, which is still a big threat to our army. At the end of the day,

The general thought that only by weakening some of Jin Tian's troops can Jin Tian be unable to launch a large-scale attack on Beicang."

Gao Shun nodded, deeply agreed, and asked happily: "In Yi Ziming's opinion, what strategy should be used to force Jin Tian to draw troops again?"

Zhang Bao pointed his hand in the direction of Lukou again.

"Jin Tiannan has 10,000 soldiers and horses to assist Jiangnan District, but the general's army has 7,000. Jin Tian should be very clear. With just these troops and horses, he can definitely cope with our army. So the general guessed that Jin Tian was drawing troops

At that time, the army from Chosun County will be secretly mobilized, and they will join the southerners in Jiangnan District. Therefore, the general suggested that the general can order a general to lead 10,000 infantry troops to march directly to the south of Chosun County from the Lukou Trail, forcing Jin Tian to

We dare not divide the troops of North Korean counties."

Gao Shun stared at the map, his thoughts turned around, and he couldn't help nodding his head, approving of Zhang Bao's strategy.

Nowadays, the number of infantry under Gao Shun's command is greater than that of infantry and navy. However, when fighting on the river, no matter how many infantry there are, there is no place to use them.

With so many infantry troops gathered on the shore, it is a pity to waste food and grass in vain. Instead of doing this, it would be more cost-effective to use these infantry troops to the best of their ability, as Zhang Bao said.

Thinking of this, Gao Shun frowned and said loudly: "Where is the deputy general?"

"The general will be here at the end." The deputy general came out excitedly.

Gao Shun waved his hand and said: "I order you to go to Xiakou quickly, lead the 10,000 infantry and cavalry out of Lukou, and attack the south of Chosun County. You must hold back the troops of Chosun County so that they cannot move south."

The deputy general is very good at fighting in long mountainous areas, and there is Mufu Mountain to the south of Chosun County. Gao Shun took on the role of deputy general this time, using his skills.

The lieutenant general was not good at water warfare. He saw Gan Ning and several other young water generals showing off their skills, but he had no use for them. He was still a little frustrated. Now that Gao Shun was entrusted with the important task, he was naturally excited.

At that moment, the lieutenant general said boldly: "General, don't worry. If I let the North Korean County mobilize one soldier, I can just let the general hold him accountable."

After giving the military order, the deputy general turned around and left excitedly.

After issuing several orders in one breath and sending out several more troops, Gao Shun let out a long breath, feeling relieved.

He stretched out and sneered: "We have used all the means, let's just have a drink and watch how the blue eyes are tortured."

There was a burst of laughter in the big tent, and the atmosphere was so relaxed.

...Jiangnan District, Xi'an City.

At dusk, Zhang Gao led 10,000 Korean troops and arrived at this county seat downstream of Pingcheng.

Riding his horse to the city gate, what Zhang Gao saw was a scene of devastation.

A few days ago, Liu He, who captured Pingcheng, led his army to sweep through several counties along the Xiushui River with lightning speed, and Xi'an County was one of them.

At that time, there were only less than a hundred county soldiers in Xi'an County. How could they withstand Liu He's attack with dozens of times the force. Therefore, before the Chu army attacked, the county magistrate abandoned the city and fled, and Liu He's soldiers were killed without a fight.

He took this city.

After entering the city, Liu He did not kill anyone. Instead, he went straight to the county government and plundered all the grain and grass stored in the treasury. At the same time, he also raided the wealthy households in the county and forced them to hand over their remaining grain.

After some searching, Liu He transported all the food, grass, cattle, sheep, and other edible items to Pingcheng.

All Zhang Gao could see now was the looted county town.

Looking at such a pitiful scene, Zhang Gao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Commander, if the Chu army unexpectedly attacked Jiangnan District and captured the city so easily, why did they abandon it so easily? Could it be that they went through all the trouble and went deep into Jiangnan District just to search for food and grass?"

General Jin Da asked in confusion.

Zhang Gao sighed: "The enemy came from afar to attack Pingcheng. They must have only brought a few days of food and traveled lightly. Therefore, after they captured Pingcheng, they would search for food and grass everywhere. I expected that the enemy only wanted to contain our troops, so they would not

It will be easy to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Jiangnan District. Liu He's aggressive collection of food and grass in Pingcheng is probably because he wants to hold Pingcheng and drag us here to relieve the pressure on the Chu army in Beicang."

Jin Da suddenly realized, "I didn't expect Gao Shun's intentions to be so sinister. What is the governor planning to do?"

Zhang Gao stroked his beard slightly, with a confident look on his face, and said slowly: "I expected that the Chu army came in light armor, and they did not carry many arrows and other weapons to defend the city. For the current plan, we should wait until five days before the enemy in Chaoshan County."

Thousands of reinforcements arrived later, and together with the North Korean reinforcements, they took advantage of their strength to attack Pingcheng in one go."

Zhang Gao saw through Liu He's intentions and stationed his troops in Xi'an County that day, waiting for reinforcements sent by Jin Yu from Chaoshan County.

...Upstream of Chosun County, the Korean army camp.

In the military tent, Jin Tianzheng was examining the map. At this moment, he was planning to launch an attack on the Chu army in Beicang again.

Zhang Gao's 10,000 troops had been dispatched, and after hearing that the Chu army attacking Pingcheng had nearly 7,000 men, Jin Tian decisively issued two new orders, dispatching 5,000 troops from Chaoshan County and Chaoshan County respectively.

The troops and horses quickly rushed to Jiangnan District, under the unified command of Zhang Gao.

Jin Tian believed that with Zhang Gao's ability in commanding troops and the bravery of Jin Da's generals, more than 20,000 troops would be enough to defeat the invasion of Jiangnan District.

At this moment, Jin Tian still has 40,000 infantry and naval forces under his command. Looking purely at the number of infantry and naval forces, his strength is still twice that of Gaoshun's infantry and naval forces.

"The advantage is still in our hands. If we mobilize the whole army to attack Beicang, we may not be able to defeat it with one blow."

Jin Tian, ​​who had been meditating for a long time, slammed the desk and his words showed confidence.

"According to detailed reports, Gao Shun's thieves still have 10,000 infantry and naval forces training in Xiangshan. If our army attacks too urgently, Gao Shun will be forced to mobilize those 10,000 infantry and naval forces.

, in this case, the gap in the number of infantry and naval forces between the enemy and ourselves will be greatly reduced."

Jin Er expressed some hidden worries. After experiencing repeated "attacks", he finally did not dare to underestimate Gao Shun anymore.

Jin Tian sneered, "It would be better if Gao Shun transferred the 10,000 infantry and navy troops, so that they can be wiped out together and save the trouble in the future."

Jin Tian still maintains strong self-confidence, and he indeed has the capital to be confident.

Although Gao Shun unexpectedly attacked Pingcheng and severely slapped Jin Tian in the face in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, Jin Tian's actual loss was still only Pingcheng's 800 troops and a mere Jin Xiaosheng.

In the absence of heavy losses in military strength, any "trick" by Gao Shun was, in his opinion, nothing more than a desperate struggle to delay destruction.

Seeing Jin Tian's decision, Jin Er didn't know what to say and decided to go along with Jin Tian's decision to march.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, and Jin Biao came in in a hurry, with a solemn look on his face.

"General, there is an urgent report from Chosun County. The Chu army general and deputy general are currently leading 10,000 troops to attack the camps in the south of Chosun County. General Jin is resisting with all his strength. There is no way to divide the troops to reinforce Jiangnan District."

Hearing this, Jin Tian's confident face suddenly became clouded with a layer of surprise. Jin Tian's face darkened and he suddenly became depressed.

Even when he heard Jin Biao's information, he suddenly had the illusion that there was a pair of eyes behind him, staring at him all the time.

And the owner of those eyes is none other than Gao Shun.

If not, how could Gao Shun seem to have seen through his own thoughts, restraining him with every move he made, leaving him in a passive situation from beginning to end.

Jin Tian was astonished when a chill surged through his back, making him tremble all over and shiver.

"hateful--"

Jin Tian clenched his fists and hit the case hard again, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on his fists.

However, after the anger, Jin Tian still had to face this cruel reality.
