To tell the truth, although Qian Yuan's reputation is greater in the southeast war, Hu Zongxian is also quite popular with the military, and even the generals and soldiers under Qi Jiguang, Lu Bo, and Yu Dayou have a positive attitude towards Hu Zongxian himself.

The reason is that although Hu Zongxian was born as a jinshi and is in a high position, he is really bold...... Compared with Yang Yi, Tu Dashan and others, it is simply radiant.

As early as the prefect of Hangzhou, Hu Zongxian led the army to fight, and captured hundreds of Japanese in Linping Mountain with Qian Yuan and Qi Jiguang, and was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang.

Later, Hu Zongxian was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, commanded troops to aid Shaoxing, and broke the Japanese under internal and external attacks.

Even in last year's war, Qian Yuan, who went into battle in person, had to admire Hu Zongxian's courage...... With the military power of the six provinces in his hands and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he was actually stationed in Shangyu, less than a hundred miles away from Yuyao on the front line, and there were only two hundred personal soldiers around him at least.

This phenomenon is very rare in the era of cold weapons, even if the military generals lead the army, they are often surrounded by large armies, and no matter how bad they are, they are also giving orders in the fortified city, such as Hu Zongxian, who only takes hundreds of personal soldiers to be stationed in the wilderness, which is really rare.

Hu Zongxian did this because of his personal personality on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hoped to be informed of the military newspaper as soon as possible so that he could make various adjustments.

However, this time, under the persuasion of Wang Yin, Zheng Ruozeng, Shen Mingchen and other confidants, Hu Zongxian put the temporary garrison of the Governor's Mansion farther away...... In fact, it is not far away, south of Shangyu, north of Shengxian County, Dongshan Town by the Cao'e River, if you start from Shangyu County along the river, send troops early in the morning, and arrive before lunch.

"It's a good place." Qian Yuan turned over and dismounted, and said to Shen Mingchen, who came to greet him: "He, Hu Ruzhen, will not go into battle unless he has to, and he will retreat far away, so that the commander in front of him can let go of his hands and feet." ”

Shen Mingchen smiled bitterly, this sentence means something, last year's war Hu Zongxian was stationed in Shangyu, and the Japanese didn't know, but Liu Xian, Tang Kekuan, Mrs. Wa and other generals all knew.

At that time, the Japanese invaders narrowly broke through Shanyin and Yuyao, and attacked Cixi, and the officers and troops shuttled back and forth to help, so they had to divide their forces to protect Shangyu, in case the Japanese invaded Shangyu and cut Hu Zongxian with a knife......

"And that's not all." Zheng Ruozeng said with a smile: "The waterway in Dongshan Town is convenient, the Cao'e River goes north into the sea, and it is convenient to go all the way with the wind, and it is also convenient to mobilize Qi Jimei's department from Tiantai County." ”

Qian Yuan stopped talking, it was his idea to let Qi Jimei be stationed in Tiantai County, strode into the Governor's Mansion, nodded casually and bowed, "What's the situation?" ”

Mao Kun, who was standing in front of the map hanging on the wall, turned his head and asked, "How is Ninghai over there?" ”

"Ge Hao led the sailors from Xiangshan to the east to the sea, and there were only a small group of Japanese robbers within dozens of miles, and they could easily receive messengers." Qian Yuan took the tea cup handed by He Xinyin, "It is very clear in the secret letter, it is either Taizhou or Shaoxing!" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Hu Zongxian, whose face sank like water, and only nodded slightly after half a sound.

He Xinyin picked up a military newspaper at hand, "This morning, more than 1,000 Japanese robbers landed from Lihai, and they went very fast, bypassing Sanjiangsuo and going straight to Shanyin Huiji. ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth were crooked, the widow would really look for soft persimmons to pinch, this is to find Liu Xian!

However, the Japanese had a wrong idea, just more than ten days ago, the defenders of Yuyao and Shanyin were transferred to each other, and now Liu Xian is stationed in Yuyao, and it is the Yuepu River that guards Shanyin.

Yuepuhe is the old general brought by Cao Bangfu, the former governor of Yingtian, who has gone to his post, when the Huguang division Shang Zhao rebelled, and gathered more than 10,000 thieves in just one month, Yue Puhe was the general, gathered the remnants of the army, and held Xuzhou, and the division Shang Zhao did not retreat for a long time, and Cao Bangfu found an opportunity to raid and win a big victory in the Mengshan area.

Last year, Yuepu River was stationed in Shangyu, and the Japanese had twice tried to attack the city and had no choice but to retreat, and then transferred to garrison Yuyao, and the Japanese could not attack for a long time, so they could only turn to attack Shanyin Huiji, only to defend the city, Yuepu River was second to none in the southeast army, even Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang was also admired.

Zheng Ruozeng asked softly: "Zhancai?" ”

Qian Yuan glanced at the past, carefully looked at the expressions of the others, and sighed: "Of course it is not moving!" ”

The gasps of several people sounded at the same time, and a smile appeared on the corner of Hu Zongxian's mouth, and the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed.

Qian Yuan was a little inexplicable, he didn't see anything when he looked around, he underestimated the weight of his words a little, this kind of weight was not obtained by him Jian Zaidi Xin and leading the army to kill the Japanese.

At the beginning of the war last year, Qian Yuan's analysis of the situation and Hu Zongxian were very different, and in the end, the development of the war situation rushed in the direction described by Qian Yuan......

As the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian had the right to act arbitrarily, but he had to think about it if Qian Yuan's judgment of the situation was contrary to his own again...... Luckily, not this time.

Qian Yuan, who was still confused, walked to the map and looked at it carefully, and asked casually: "Isn't there a Japanese invasion in Ningbo?" ”

"Qi Yuanjing sent a messenger, and there was only a small group of Japanese robbers in Ningbo, and there were no sails covering the sky." Mao Kun picked up the brush and pointed on the map, "Before, Yuan Jing divided his troops to garrison Zhenhai and Dinghai, and the governor has issued a military order to let Yuan Jing move his troops to Baisha Lake. ”

"White Sand Lake?" Qian Yuan raised the candlestick to see clearly, Baisha Lake is located in the southeast of Yinxian County, the capital of Ningbo Prefecture, and is connected with the waterway of Yinxian County.

"Where's Yuyao?"

"No movement." The brush in Mao Kun's hand swayed, "Xu Hai's main force is not obvious, and the deployment of the armies has many scruples." ”

"Yes, the officers and sailors did not dare to go to sea rashly, where did they land and go ashore...... Xu Hai has the initiative. Qian Yuan shook his head, "But judging from the current situation, it should be Shaoxing Mansion, but it's just ......."

"Sanin?"

"Yuyao?"

"Xiaoshan?"

After a long silence, Qian Yuan sighed and said, "Wait, at least wait for Xu Hai to play the banner before deploying troops......"

"Do you want to transfer Qi Jimei's department to Dongshan Town?" Zheng Ruo once proposed: "Yuepu River guards Shanyin Huiji, Wu Weixi guards Xiaoshan to protect Hangzhou, and Liu Xian is stationed in Yuyao, but Shangyu County only has a total of 500 soldiers stationed there, which is slightly thin." ”

Mao Kun turned his head to look at the map, "Will the Japanese abandon Shanyin Huiji and Yuyao and attack Shangyu County?" ”

"It's unlikely." He Xinyin shook his head, "Shangyu County is located between the two counties, and there are waterways to communicate with each other. ”

Zheng Ruozeng's gaze fell on Hu Zongxian's body, "But who knows what the widows will think...... Besides, not all the Japanese who went ashore were under Xu Hai's command. ”

"Talent?" Hu Zongxian's voice was a little hoarse, although he was the governor of Zhejiang, Qi Jimei's department was almost built by Qian Yuan, and it was impossible for him to ignore Qian Yuan's thoughts.

Qian Yuan hesitated for a while, if Xu Hai attacked Taizhou, Qi Jimei would be an important chess piece, because Lu Bin's troops stationed in Ninghai basically relied on land to Linhai and Huangyan, and Qi Jimei's troops could quickly reinforce Linhai and Huangyan down the river.

On the other hand, if Xu Hai attacks Taizhou, and chooses not Huangyan and Taiping, but Ninghai garrisoned by Lu Bin, Tan Lun's command cannot be counted on, but with the foot strength of Yiwu soldiers, Qi Jimei can also quickly reinforce.

But if Xu Hai attacks Shaoxing Mansion, as long as he breaks through any of the cities of Yuyao and Shanyin, Shangyu County has almost no possibility of holding it.

To be a decision-maker, the difficulty is here, you have two keys in front of you, only one can open the door to victory, choose the wrong one, there is no chance to turn over.

Is it Shaoxing or Taizhou...... Qian Yuan felt a large drop of sweat running down his forehead.

Qian Yuan took a deep breath, "Who is Shangyu Zhixian?" ”

"Sun Piyang, Jiajing thirty-five years of Jinshi, entered the Department of Travelers, was injured in Shangyu Zhixian last year and went to work, and at the end of last year, Sun Piyang was transferred to Shangyu Zhixian." Shen Mingchen immediately replied, "Or the same year as Zhancai, can you know each other in Beijing before?" ”

"I don't know." Qian Yuan's answer was short and quick, "Tune Qi Jimei to come to Dongshan Town." ”
