In this way, Wu Zheng can implement the second plan, that is, Wu Zheng once boasted of Chen Sheng and left an army in Tianchang.

With Tianchang as a stronghold, it encroached on Sizhou and formed a two-sided encirclement of the Azig army.

Coupled with Liao Zhongping's Zuo Battalion and Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Guard, the four-way army was enough to divide and surround the Azig Army, and then cut it off.

But the most important point is that the lone army of Guangxinwei, which was weak at the beginning, must have a reason to go north, otherwise, how can Azig allow Li Guo to occupy the small city of Dingyuan?

There is only one way to make the Qing court and Azig reduce their hostility, and that is to rebel in Guangxinwei and enter Fengyang Mansion with a rebel army that does not belong to any force, and Azig naturally wants to co-opt it, not annihilate it.

In this way, Guangxinwei can use Dingyuan as a springboard to directly launch a strong attack on Fengyang City, without the need to pull out from thousands of miles away.

Whoever preempts the suddenness of the war is half the battle.

There is also a saying, strike first is strong, and then strike suffer.

The two armies face each other, and if they recruit troops, declare war, and make a big fanfare, the other side can still draw a gourd.

This resulted in the prolongation of the war and a sharp rise in casualties.

And this, with the current financial resources of the General's Mansion, cannot afford it.

Only a quick victory, a large enough victory, can restore the confidence of the people and businessmen in the Great General's Palace, which has depleted its financial resources.

But what Wu Zheng didn't expect was that Dolbo suddenly attacked Haizhou.

The difference of this step almost bankrupted Wu Zheng's entire layout, because once the army attacking Haizhou moved south, Huai'an and Yangzhou would fall.

The Northern Expeditionary Army, which had already moved its main forces to the Yangtze River, could hardly gather at least 50,000 men in a military operation in a short period of time.

Then, Wu Zheng had no choice but to give up all the layouts and fight a new battle in Jiangbei...... The Fourth Jiangbei War is here.

Fortunately, although Jiang Quanyi was defeated, the heroic and tenacious resistance of the subordinates also deterred Ji Xiha and Lan Bai, and Qian Qiaogong defeated Ji Xiha and Lan Bai in the south of Haizhou without a trace, and almost captured the two, which made Ji Xiha and Lan Bai no longer have the courage to go south, but decided to keep the fruits of victory and no longer be greedy and chew more.

Of course, Shen Zhiyuan's bringing the new army back to Ziyang is also an indispensable reason.

When the news came, Wu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The original layout doesn't have to be scrapped, just a little modified.

This is why Wu Zheng sent Chi Erhan to increase his troops to Tianchang after sending Shi Kun.

There was also an order from Wu Zheng to severely declare Li Guo and Liu Tiren to disobey on the battlefield and order Guangxinwei to immediately storm Fengyang City.

Lu Zhiyu had enough time to go north to join Qian Qiaogong's division, the rest of Wu Songwei was stationed in Yunti Pass, and the Tongzhou garrison moved in the direction of Yancheng, and the 30,000 main forces of the First Army, carried by the railway day and night, had arrived at Wusongkou and were crossing the river.

Wu Zheng's changes to the layout are very slight.

Originally, I thought that Tianchang was just an inconspicuous small county, and it couldn't attract all the attention except himself.

But the current situation shows that the attack from Tianchang has lost its original suddenness.

Since it can no longer be won by wonder, it can be right.

also used Dingyuan Guangxinwei as a bait, and attacked Sizhou with Tianchang's direction to Chi Erhan and Shi Kun's subordinates, so that the two sides attacked, Azig was in a hurry.

The change made by Wu Zheng is - Haizhou.

It is said that the more obvious the place, the more it will be ignored.

Haizhou was breached, Huai'an, Yangzhou Northern Expeditionary Army strength is stretched, and Wu Zhengming is increasing troops to Tianchang and Dingyuan, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still crossing the river in the direction of Wusong and Jingjiang, and the abnormal direction of Liao Zhongping and Xia Wanchun is also Fengyang Mansion.

In this way, the situation is very clear - the main combat direction of the Northern Expeditionary Army is still against Fengyang Mansion, which makes sense in theory and situation, as soon as Fengyang Mansion falls, Luzhou and Anqing will be at your fingertips.

Hong Chengchou thinks so, Fan Wencheng also thinks so, Ji'er Harang also can't escape such a judgment, naturally, Fulin Wa'er is also infected, so he has an order to take Prince An Yue Le as the commander, lead 3,000 banner soldiers, 10,000 Han troops to Haizhou for reinforcements, but the main force moved to Henan, and ordered the northwest to move east to Wu Sangui and other departments, at the same time, the Qing court sent an envoy to Yanzhou, negotiated with Dolbo, and prepared to confront the Northern Expeditionary Army in Fengyang Mansion, and fight a head-to-head duel to determine the domination of China!

This is not an exaggeration, with the financial resources of both sides at this time, if they really fight in Fengyang Mansion, it will determine the domination of the land of China.

But no matter which side wins in the end, the strength will be greatly lost, and it is likely that it will only be able to lie down and breathe for ten years.

The Qing court was reluctant to fight, it only wanted to limit the unrestrained growth of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but Wu Zheng realized that this restraint was a very bad start, and the finances of the General's Mansion were beaten right by the Qing court, pointing out the key points.

Once a large number of employees lose their jobs and a large number of workshops close down, then the appearance of prosperity and prosperity under the rule of the Great General's Mansion will be torn off, leaving behind an ugly nature full of holes.

Finance never generates substantial wealth, its essence is to accelerate circulation.

Wu Zheng managed to make the wealth deposited in Jiangnan circulate at a rocket-like speed in a very short period of time, and at the same time added leverage, which made Jiangnan's economy develop rapidly and created an enviable prosperity.

But as long as the Qing court strictly enforces the ban, as long as the hired workers begin to lose their jobs and the workshops begin to close down, then everything will be reduced to zero, the shareholders of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will begin to withdraw their capital, the high-speed currency circulation will come to an abrupt halt, all industries will wither, and a huge financial crisis will inevitably break out.

The Qing court didn't expect it, but Wu Zheng knew it, but he couldn't talk about it, because if he talked about it, the consequences would be even more unbearable.

was forced to this, and Wu Zheng could only do his best to deal with it, this is the essence of launching this war.

But the fall of Haizhou City and the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army also aroused Wu Zheng's competitive spirit.

……。

Liu Tiren was indeed ready to deal with the enemy cavalry coming to help from Fengyang City.

With the arrival of the follow-up troops, they quickly bypassed the Yingwuwei garrison, built a horse-barring fence and dug trenches to the north.

From ancient times to the present, but where practical, it has been able to continue, the horse fence ditch has a miraculous effect on the cavalry, both can delay the cavalry, but also can kill the cavalry, whether it is the old bow and crossbow, or the current musket, across the horse fence ditch, it is equivalent to being invincible, of course, the premise is that the troops are enough, arrows, ammunition enough.

But for the Qing army stationed in Yingwuwei, Liu Tiren really couldn't think of a proper way for a while.
