…

After Liu Zhen and the others arrived at Cai Ying's base camp, they learned that Cai still hadn't gotten up yet.

Liu Zhen looked at the sun that had risen high and wanted to say, "What time is it, Cai still hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

I don't want to, but Sui Jianzhang took the lead and said, "After a few days of fighting, Cai Zhaojiao must be tired, so it's normal to sleep a little longer, let's wait a while." ”

If in the past, Liu Zhen was still Cai Zhen's chief, then Liu Zhen could still have a little temper.

Now, Cai is still above Liu Zhen in terms of level, power, and strength, so it's a matter of waiting for a while.

Of course, Cai still didn't let Liu Zhen and them wait too long.

As soon as Liang Hongyu came to inform Cai Yi that Liu Zhen and others were coming, Cai Zhen immediately got up from the bed, and then kissed Fang Baihua and Chen Jingu on the faces respectively, seeing that they were still pretending to be asleep and refused to get up, Cai Zhen, who was in a hurry, got out of bed alone, and then simply freshened up under Liang Hongyu's service, and came to see Liu Zhen and them.

As soon as they met, Cai was still full of apologies and said, "I snooze, let a few people see the joke." ”

Liu Zhen said with a smile, "It is understandable that people will inevitably be a little tired after a day of fighting. ”

Cai still said, "Everyone, please take a seat, come here, and serve tea." ”

After the guests and hosts sat down, Liu Zhen couldn't wait to say, "What is the situation of the enemy and me now?" ”

Cai still glanced at Liu Qi.

Seeing this, Liu Qi walked to the simple sand table that Cai still asked someone to make, and then pointed to the Wukang-Deqing area, and said, "Although we have just annihilated the 50,000 or 60,000 horses of Fang Baihua and Chen 14, there are still some people and horses of Fang Baihua and Chen 14 who are holding here, and this part of the rebels is not 100,000, but also 80,000. ”

Liu Qi pointed to the area of Lin'an-Yuhang-Fuyang, and said, "Zheng Mowang and others led their troops south, and with the cooperation of local rebels, they went down to Wuzhou, Quzhou, Qingtian, and Jinyun, and outwitted 20,000 officers and soldiers who were trapped in Chuzhou, and now they are all withdrawn here to help defend Hangzhou, becoming a barrier to the west of Hangzhou. ”

"Lanxi people Zhu Yan, Wu Bang, Suzhou Shisheng and Gui'an, Lu Xing'er, etc., have rebelled in response to Fang La, they have captured Yueqing, Ruian, Kexian, Xinchang, Songyang, Longquan, Suichang and other places, and now they are also approaching Hangzhou."

"At the same time, the rebels who occupied the Wuyuan area in the early stage have also conquered Kaihua, Changshan, Jiangshan and other places, and their troops are under the city of Xinzhou."

“……”

After introducing the general situation of the rebel armies of the various departments, Liu Qi concluded: "At present, from the suburbs of Suzhou in the north, to the city of Xinzhou in the south, from the shore of Wenzhou Bay in the east, to the top of the Yellow Mountain in the west, the rebels have spread all over the vast areas of Hangzhou, Mu, Wu, Qu, Chu, Suzhou, Hu, Xiu, Yue, Wen, Tai and the 14 prefectures of She, Xuan, and Xin on the Jiangnan East Road, gathering millions of people, and capturing 52 counties in six prefectures. ”

In the end, Liu Qi pointed to the area around Hangzhou and said, "And the current purpose of the rebels should be to gather in the area of Hangzhou to fight a decisive battle with our army." ”

Although the sand table is such a thing in the Qin Shi Huang period, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, when the local heroes and strongmen were in the vicinity of Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan used the sand table to fight when he "gathered rice for the valley and pointed to the situation", but since ancient times, there are really not many generals who are fighting with the sand table today, and it can even be said that there are very few, for no other reason, it is really too troublesome to make the sand table.

I don't want to, Cai still has a sand table in the army, and it is very detailed, with mountains and rivers.

What shocked Liu Zhen and others even more was that when they used the sand table to demonstrate, the situation of the enemy and me was clear at a glance.

Liu Zhenxin said, "No wonder Cai can still win many battles, just with his kung fu, those traitors who can't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest have to be beaten by him, how can they be able to defeat him?" ”

Suddenly!

Liu Zhen saw that on Cai Ying's sand table, the Western Route Army had not yet passed the Dusong Pass, and then his heart moved, and he immediately pointed to the location of the Western Army and said, "Has the Western Route Army just arrived here?" ”

Liu Qi said, "The Western Route Army was intercepted by Shi Sheng, Gui'an, Lu Xing'er and other rebels in Huzhou before, and Wang Tongzhi led the leaders of the department to defeat the Shisheng rebels in Si'an, and scared the rest of the rebels to retreat along Huzhou to Hangzhou, but Wang Tongzhi did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but continued to implement the battle plan we specified before, attacked Dusong Pass, forced the rebels back to Qingxi, and surrounded and annihilated on the spot. ”

It has to be said here that judging from the degree of loyalty to Zhao Song alone, Cai is still far inferior to Tong Guan - although Tong Guan still grits his teeth and grits his teeth against Cai, and he can't wait to get rid of it, but Tong Guan has been taking care of the overall situation from beginning to end, and he is not like Cai Ying, who is selfish and only considers his own gains and losses.

Liu Qi pointed to Dusong Pass, and said, "The rebels have left 30,000 troops here, and the leader stationed here is Fang La's nephew Fang Jie. ”

After listening to Liu Qi's introduction, Liu Zhen was very shocked by Jin Wujun's ability to listen to intelligence, and at the same time, he also gave birth to a trace of luck.

Without any hesitation, Liu Zhen said, "Now all the rebels are gathering in Hangzhou, if they are assembled, this battle will be difficult to fight, in my opinion, we might as well go south to capture Hangzhou, and capture the king first, as long as Fang La is captured, the remaining rebels will immediately become a plate of scattered sand, not to be afraid." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jun objected, "This is too risky, don't forget, there are at least 80,000 rebels in the Wukang-Deqing area, if we venture south, these 80,000 rebels will take our back road, and we will become turtles in the urn." ”

Zhang Jun then clenched his fists at Cai and said, "General, let's wait for the Western Army to break through Dusong Pass and join forces with us, and then first exterminate the 80,000 rebels of Fang Baihua's department, and then calmly go south, when relying on the ground, if the rebels want to fight with us in Hangzhou, we will fight with the rebels in Hangzhou, if the rebels withdraw from Hangzhou and withdraw to Qingxi, we will continue to implement the plan formulated by Tong Xuanxiang to encircle and annihilate the rebels in Qingxi." ”

It has to be said that Zhang Jun's suggestion is Lao Chengzhi's suggestion to re-establish himself in an invincible position.

But where did Zhang Jun know that what Liu Zhen was most afraid of was that the Western Army would come to grab the merits, so he said, "At the same time as our reinforcements arrived, the reinforcements of the rebels also arrived, so there is no point in waiting for reinforcements. ”

After a deep groan, Liu Zhen said again, "As for the traitors of Fang Baihua's department......"

Speaking of this, Liu Zhen looked at Cai still and said, "I heard that he captured Fang Baihua and Chen Shivan alive?" ”

Cai still didn't even raise his eyelids and said, "I caught it, but because I only cared about fighting, I was taken advantage of by them to run away." ”

As soon as Cai still said this, all the soldiers of the Jinwu Army were stunned, "Fang Baihua and Chen Shishi ran away?" ”

Soon, there were well-informed and quick reactions, thinking that Cai still brought Fang Baihua and Chen Shishi to his dormitory yesterday, and then got up late today, and then guessed some.

Those who are ill-informed and slow to respond are most likely not talkative people.

Only a few, like Guo Jin, who was ill-informed, slow to react, and quick to speak, asked stupidly, "Ran away, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Wang Gui glared at Guo Jin and said, "You are our general, you have to know everything." ”

As soon as Guo Jin wanted to fight back, Zhao Hong, who was beside him, pulled him and whispered, "There are outsiders, don't talk nonsense." ”

Only then did Guo Jin realize that he was talking too much.

With Guo Jin's example, those who just wanted to open their mouths to ask Fang Baihua and Chen Shishi how they ran, and they all closed their mouths.

Liu Zhen didn't think much about it, he said, "Ran away?" That's a pity, otherwise, with them as hostages, these 10,000 rebels may be able to break themselves. ”

Liu Zhen said again, "Now we can only divide our troops to exterminate the rebels of Fang Baihua and Chen Fourteen, or stop the rebels of Fang Baihua and Chen Fourteen to prevent them from going south." ”

Cai was still noncommittal and said, "Then how does Commander Liu think we should allocate troops?" ”

Liu Zhen waited for Cai Ying's words, he said, "The army of the Recruitment Department has been fighting repeatedly, so naturally it is not good to fight a tough battle that is not easy to fight, and our troops have not fought a battle since they went south, so why not fight Hangzhou by our department?" ”

Cai still smiled and said, "You attack Hangzhou? ”

As soon as Cai's voice fell, the soldiers of the Jin Wu Army burst into laughter.

The laughter of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army made all the people of the Central Forbidden Army red-faced!

They knew that the officers and men of the Jinwu Army did not believe that they could attack Xiahang.

Liu Zhen wanted to slap the table and say, "Hugh wants to look down on people, we have decided this Hangzhou!" ”

But Liu Zhen also knew what kind of goods he was leading.

Therefore, when the words came to his lips, Liu Zhen swallowed back and changed, "Of course, after all, the enemy has hundreds of thousands of troops, and our department only has more than 30,000 horses, and some of them are lonely, so please also ask to send a partial division to assist us in attacking Hangzhou City." ”

As soon as Liu Zhen's words came out, many people in the Jin Wujun secretly scolded Liu Zhen for his delusional thoughts: "You have made meritorious contributions, let us shed blood and sweat, and what a big dream of spring and autumn!" ”

Cai still didn't say anything - he has always put his interests first, and it is obviously impossible for him to be so selfless.

Liu Zhen also knew that there was no help in vain for this kind of thing, so he immediately said, "Of course, this battle was fought under the command of Zhao, and the brothers of the Jinwu Army who participated in the war could not contribute in vain, whether it was the spoils of war or the merits, they all had a share of the brothers of the Jinwu Army." ”

Actually-

Originally, this was not impossible.

But the problem is that Tan Zhi also went south.

In this way, it is impossible for Tan Zhi not to fight for this great command merit no matter what.

And nominally, Cai is still one level lower than Tan Zhen.

Therefore, when he got mixed up with Tan Zhen, Cai still designated that he couldn't get the big head.

Instead of being so unclear and making wedding dresses for others, it is better to fight each other.

Therefore, Cai still thought about it for a while and said, "In this way, you go directly south to recover Hangzhou from the front, and our Jinwu army detours back to the back of Hangzhou City from the waterway to attack Hangzhou City, how about it?" ”
