Outside the city of Banyang, the army camped and rested.

On the expedition, Chen Ziqian did not covet temporary comfort and stay in the city, but chose to be with the soldiers in the barracks.

Zhuang Wei and Chen Tong had already returned to the camp with their troops, waiting for a new step into the mission.

Chen Ziqian was not in a hurry to act, although he easily won Banyang in this battle, but the army exposed many problems.

For example, the lack of mobility, the lack of tacit understanding between the various departments, the weak combat effectiveness of individual units, and so on, all of which should be summed up after the war.

To be honest, if it weren't for the big killer weapon of fierce fire oil, this attack on Banyang would definitely not have been so smooth.

The cost of siege warfare has always been huge, and the cost of only more than 1,000 troops in this battle is considered extremely lucky.

But this kind of luck is not a good thing, once the army is too dependent on fierce fire oil, it will be difficult for the soldiers to exert their combat effectiveness, and over time they will enter a state of slackness, develop arrogant soldiers, and proud soldiers will be defeated.

This is a vicious circle, and we must guard against it, and we must properly reorganize the army.

After all, fierce fire oil is not a panacea, and it can not be used on any occasion, not to mention that the expedition is outside, and it is also a problem to replenish it, and too much reliance will pay a heavy price sooner or later.

Of course, there is another factor that Chen Ziqian is not in a hurry to move troops, and that is the Bashan Zhao clan.

Zhao Qinglin has already taken Crepe Bai to Bashan, which is a big move to win Bashan County without bloodshed.

Chen Ziqian was waiting for the reply of the Bashan Zhao clan, once the cooperation was established, he could easily occupy the Huaihua transportation hub, and then pose a threat to the rest of the counties, and smoothly occupy the entire Huaihua County.

This move should not be rushed, and it is time to think carefully about the follow-up strategy.

In the camp tent, Chen Ziqian sat on the main seat, and the information sent back by various scouts was piled up on the desk.

There is the domestic situation sent by Tan Wenhao from Yong'an, and the main thing mentioned is what those families have done recently, but there is no trouble, and everything is still under control.

In addition, there is also the training situation on the side of Hupan Mountain, Fang Changping is still quite conscientious about leading the soldiers and horses, and the only trouble is Zeng Yuanqi on Pingyong's side.

Several times of bargaining, has provoked Zeng Yuanqi quite angry, Pingyong has mobilized 20,000 soldiers and horses to camp in Peilai County, at any time may send troops to attack Hupan Mountain.

Regarding the conditions of cooperation, Chen Ziqian gave Tan Wenhao clear instructions before sending troops to Huaihua, so that Tan Wenhao could delay as much as possible.

Chen Ziqian replied to Tan Wenhao with a letter, and asked the other party to take the second step plan and return the Zeng clan to Zeng Yuanqi in batches, so that it could be delayed for seven or eight days.

In addition to the accident on Yong'an's side, the scouts on Huaizhou's side also sent back information.

Before Xu Linfeng led an army of 100,000 to return to Tongzhou, Chen Ziqian had asked Luo Taibai to repair a letter to Sun Weiyang, and learned that Xu Linfeng intended to lead an army of 100,000 troops to stand on his own in Tongzhou, Sun Weiyang blew up on the spot, and urgently sent a special envoy to chase Xu Linfeng, and asked Xu Linfeng to stop the march and wait for the next military order.

Although Xu Linfeng was a little caught off guard by this, he was not in a hurry to deal with it.

While replying to Sun Weiyang, he tried his best to spread bad words about Sun Weiyang in the army, so as to drive a wedge between the soldiers and Sun Weiyang.

After all, the 100,000 army was rushing back to help Huaihua, and now because of Sun Weiyang's words, the 100,000 army stopped in the barren mountains and mountains, but any general who has a little common sense of using troops will have some complaints in his heart.

is so reckless, the order changes overnight, what if you encounter a life-and-death battle in the future?

Xu Linfeng seized this opportunity to win over the generals in the army, and it was definitely too late to rush back to help Huaihua, but Xu Linfeng did not lose, at least gathered a group of generals, and better held the 100,000 army in his hands.

One more big threat.

Chen Ziqian grinned, carefully studied all the information, and judging from the current situation alone, he could not find any threat that could prevent him from seizing Huaihua.

Most of the troops in Huaihua's Taishou Zhang Jiangke were pinned down in Rongwei County on the border, and there was constant friction with the Nanban, so he couldn't spare his energy to support Bashan.

It can be said that Chen Ziqian is now ready for everything, and he only owes Zhao Qinglin the help of the east wind, and the overall situation of Huaihua County will be foolproof.

"Lord, something is wrong!" Luo Taibai suddenly came in a hurry from outside the tent, with a new piece of information in his hand.

Chen Ziqian was a little puzzled, took the information from Luo Taibai's hand and looked at it, his pupils couldn't help narrowing slightly.

The content of the intelligence is about the imperial capital, and the king has successfully captured the Tiger Prison Pass, and is currently gathering troops and horses to attack Longmen Pass with all his might.

The great general Pan Lin struggled to support, the imperial capital may fall into the hands of the king at any time, and it is very likely that the Great Yan world will undergo major changes again within half a month.

"So suddenly?" Chen Ziqian frowned slightly, but he really didn't expect King Qiao to come this far.

In the past, the king of Kuo had gathered more than 200,000 troops and failed to gnaw the hard bone of the Tiger Prison Pass, but this time he only gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to successfully conquer it, is this a strong pill?

Luo Taibai was also quite surprised by this: "Once the king succeeds in seizing the imperial capital, he can forcibly ascend the throne by virtue of the edict of the Zen throne in his hand, no matter how bad it is, he can monopolize the power as the uncle of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Although it is a little troublesome for King Yu to enter the imperial capital, it is not as serious as you said." Chen Ziqian shook his head, but he was not worried about his future fate.

The reason why I was surprised to see this information was purely because of the great general Pan Lin, who held the most elite 100,000 forbidden troops in the world, and he didn't carry it like that, couldn't even stop a reckless man like King Yu?

The princes everywhere support their own troops, and the troubled times have begun, even if the king can support the Dayan Dynasty with his own strength, it will only be a remnant.

It is impossible for the princes everywhere to sit still and wait for death, at most, they will bow down on the face and continue to rebel behind their backs.

Besides, the eight characters of King Wang's capture of the imperial capital have not yet been brushed up, and the name is not justified, it is inevitable to be criticized and written, and it is still far from King Ao to re-stabilize the hearts of the people in the world.

At least in the short term, it will not be able to threaten Chen Ziqian's side, and the only factor to consider is Yunzhou, which is close to Huaihua, after King Yu successfully captured the imperial capital, how will the Yunzhou Assassin Shi react, and will he reach over to Huaihua.

"In the near future, I will send some scouts into Yunzhou to pay close attention to the movements of King Yu and Yunzhou Thorn History." Chen Ziqian's face was solemn, there have been troubles one after another recently, and the big enemies have emerged one after another, but his strength is still so weak, once chaos breaks out, a small shrimp like him can be surrounded by the surrounding forces in minutes.

Luo Taibai nodded, the current situation is indeed quite passive, and if you are not careful, you may be out of the ordinary.

If you want to really gain a firm foothold in the troubled times, the premise is to first reach the level of princes, and Chen Ziqian is now far from the princes in terms of resources such as troops and territories.

"What is the current sentiment of the people in Banyang?" Chen Ziqian asked casually again.

Luo Taibai replied: "The lowly post has issued a list to appease the people, and at the same time, let the county open a warehouse to release grain, and there is no need to worry about the people's feelings." ”

"Well, it's good that the situation is stable, it's time for us to send troops and put some pressure on the Bashan Zhao family." Chen Ziqian squinted his eyes slightly, although the two-day period has not yet arrived, in order to avoid the Bashan Zhao clan deliberately delaying, appropriate force pressure still has to be done: "According to the original plan, the army will be ordered to start early tomorrow morning." ”

"Whoa!" Luo Taibai gave up his orders, the marching plan was formulated long before the troops were dispatched, Zhao Qinglin's chaotic entry was purely accidental, it was best to be able to help, and if it couldn't help, it wouldn't affect the plan in advance.
