Chapter 782: Erosion
Knowing that Jinling City was occupied and some of the surrounding prefectures and counties were eroded, Li Jing did not say that he sent thousands of soldiers to sweep around, even if there were hundreds of soldiers, it was easy to clean up.
But even if he divided hundreds of soldiers, Li Jing didn't seem to dare now, because he was too suspicious.
It can be said that in the current situation in Tang Land, as long as there are a few hundred elites in hand, it is enough to take a state, and Li Jing knows this deeply. At the beginning, after decades of peace, it can be said that people are rich and strong, but after the fall of Jiangbei, everything has changed.
The Jiangbei region alone was occupied by the Central Plains Zhou State and subsequent warlords in just a few years. Yeluqi has been in Jinling City for so long, and he finally gathered some strength, but he was liquidated inexplicably, and his depression can be imagined.
The surroundings had just been exposed, and a glimmer of light had already been seen in the sky.
Standing quietly on the top of the lakes and mountains, looking at the plains between the valleys in the distance. On both sides of this road are the Hengshan Mountains, and the complete river in the middle is the steaming water of one of the three famous tributaries of Xiangshui.
It's only 80 kilometers away, and it's Hengzhou City.
It seems to be very close, but Guo Jing understands that if it is a team, it will be difficult to reach the destination without nearly ten hours of travel. Of course, if it is a special operations team, it may be possible to shorten the time by half, but Guo Jing knows that it is unrealistic.
Since he entered the development of Chudi, and now he has entered Shaozhou, there are less than 5,000 special soldiers trained under his command. Now these people are all divided into the entire Chu Land, laying the groundwork for the future plan, and there will definitely not be more than eight hundred people who are really available around them.
This time, Pan Song sent Pan Yang to ambush him, and he not only successfully counterattacked, but also captured Shaozhou again in three ways. According to the strength of his own troops, he was completely unable to hold Shaozhou City, so after attacking Pan Song's base camp again, he could easily withdraw from Shaozhou City.
Pan Song was helpless, and he didn't dare to gather the soldiers he brought at the beginning, so he could only watch Guo Jing wander between various prefectures and counties recklessly. Guo Jing knew that he occupied Shaozhou again, which undoubtedly gave the people who followed him great confidence.
After rekindling the hope of the people, Guo Jing naturally wanted to leave some soldiers to help the people. Then he led less than 500 soldiers to come to Hengzhou to help Pan Chongche. This kind of strategy has long been revealed, but Guo Jing is to cooperate with Pan Chongche this time.
Although Shuguangli's face was calm, Guo Jing's heart was not calm at all.
After receiving a message from the secret party, today is to stick to the limit of Hengzhou City. Because there are not many special forces who follow Pan Chongche into Hengzhou City, plus some believers called by the secret party, the personnel are also limited. Originally, according to Pan Chongche's conservative estimate, it could not exceed three days at most.
Because Zhang Wenbiao got the news, the distance back to Hengzhou City from the Yongzhou Waterway was limited. If Zhang Wenbiao launched a full-scale attack, it would be difficult for Hengzhou City to hold on. However, Pan Chongche detained Zhang Wenbiao's family members in the city, as well as the family members of some generals, which is also a card.
If Pan Chongche's reputation in the rivers and lakes is based on alone, he will naturally not use this method to deal with it. But now that it is a military involving two feudal towns, with Pan Chongche's mood and thoughts, it is natural that he will deliberately reveal these meanings to deter Zhang Wenbiao, a warlord.
Guo Jing still admires Pan Chongche very much, after all, this is the first general of the Lingnan Imperial Court, and he is a very famous figure in various feudal towns in the entire Central Plains. This time, he was able to cooperate with Pan Chongche and worked tirelessly to help, Guo Jing just wanted to meet this senior.
Of course, Guo Jing has another idea. This is one of the emperor's decisions, as a loyal supporter of Emperor Liu Jixing, Guo Jing will never allow himself to make mistakes. It is up to people to make things happen, and Guo Jing must make his best efforts.
But the road is not close, and when he occupied Shaozhou City, he had already delayed some time. Now that he is still so far away from Hengzhou City, he is really worried that the results that Pan Chongche has just received will not be lost because of his delay.
If he rushed to Hengzhou City to join the division, although Guo Jing did not dare to boast of his combat strength, but with his two years of experience in the development of Chudi, these teams under his command could really be regarded as a surprise soldier from heaven at that time.
As long as the last gap is just right, Zhang Wenbiao must be able to outflank it. Thinking of Hengzhou City, which is not far away, although he didn't know how the battle would end this time, Guo Jing only felt his blood boiling.
"Envoy, the team has successfully boarded the ship and set off, this trip should be smooth all the way, according to the boat boss can go more than 50 miles. The soldiers are all ready, please set off immediately! A sturdy and capable young man ran over and gave Guo Jing a salute.
"Okay, if you can successfully persuade these people overnight and help our team move forward along the waterway in advance, Peng Cong, you should be the first credit for this trip! When this meeting is completed, we should personally ask for credit to the organization for you! Hearing this young man's report, Guo Jing couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.
Because of the distance from Hengzhou City, Guo Jing was naturally worried that his team would rush to help.
Before reaching the vicinity of the lake and mountain, he sent people to the front to find a way. Because of this road down to Hengzhou, if you take the land route, it will take more than a day to walk faster. Fortunately, the steamed water flows directly to the Hengzhou section of the Xiangjiang River, and if you can take the waterway, it must be much faster than walking by land.
The team of several hundred people is in the territory of Chudi, Guo Jing will naturally not be unpresumptuous. Although the power of the county governments in Zhou Xingfeng is limited to the south of Shaozhou, they can't stand these people from blocking them.
Even if there are some light boats going down the river, of course, it is best to have a large wooden boat to travel, that is the best choice.
However, Guo Jing reported according to the scout spies, and there was accurate information from within the secret party. Zhang Wenbiao has a water village in Xidu Ancient Town, where hundreds of sailors are stationed all year round. And this Xidu Ancient Town is the last stop to Hengzhou City, and it is also known as the old Hengzhou City.
If you want to reach Hengzhou City smoothly all the way, you will naturally need to go ashore in advance to take precautions when you take the waterway, and it is naturally better to be able to take the water village. But the problem naturally has to be solved in advance, otherwise there will be no help.
But everyone came all the way from Shaozhou, all the way over the hills and mountains, not only to guard against the Chu army, but also to increase the speed. With this kind of intensity, everyone is already a little tired.
According to military strategy, this method is a taboo for soldiers. What's more, Guo Jing is still relatively unfamiliar with this side, where are there any ships available for his own use?
Seeing the territory of Zhongxiang in Shaozhou, he actually saw the source of the steaming water, and Guo Jing vaguely guessed that this was the steaming water that Emperor Liu Jixing said. He had an idea. I thought that if I could get from the waterway quickly, I would be able to make the trip much faster.
