At present, Li Zhihe can only say that he has a good grasp of the Zuo Longque Army, but for more than half a year, Chaozhou was surrounded and failed to fall, and the lost troops were finally forced to withdraw, which also dealt a serious blow to the morale of the Zuo Longque Army.

And Zuo Wuweijun has been Du Chongtao's descendant all these years.

Because Yang Yuanpu suspected that Du Chongtao was the queen mother, he transferred Du Chongtao to the court to serve as the secretary of the military department, so that Zhou Shu temporarily took the position of commander of the Zuowu Guard.

Although at this time, it was confirmed that Du Chongtao and the Queen Mother were not involved, and everything was the strategy of Lu Qingxia and others, but even if Zhou Shu now fell into Li Zhihe's arms wholeheartedly, they wanted to master the Zuowu Guards like an arm, and it would not be three or five months, or even three or five years.

Since Han Qian recruited the children of family soldiers in his early years, he paid attention to the independent training of grassroots military attachés.

Even so, before and after the Jingxiang War, there were many twists and turns, until the Jinyunlou scouts, Zuo Si Gongshi and his children absconded in Xuzhou, plus the shadow guards composed of the children of the Xi family, Han Qian could be regarded as the first batch of backbone forces that were loyal to him.

also relied on this group of backbone forces, and the Xuzhou soldiers formed by Han Qian in the early days of the war to attack Chenzhou, Wuling and other places were invincible.

After the war of cutting the domain, regardless of the ups and downs of Han Qianming's official position, his lineage in Xuzhou has always increased.

During the Jinling Incident, Han Qian infiltrated Jinling, and could find opportunities in the confrontation between the Chuzhou Army and Anning Palace, quickly and ferociously form the Chishan Army, be able to fight against the elite of the Chuzhou Army without defeat, capture Langxi City, and force Gu Zhilong to accept Zhao'an, and the most core force was the thousands of grassroots military attaches and craftsmen he transferred from Xuzhou to Jinling to participate in the formation of the Chishan Army.

At this time, although the Tangyi soldiers seemed to be made in a hurry, in addition to the guards who infiltrated Jinling with Han Qian in the early days, almost half of the two thousand elites transferred from Xuzhou in the later period had been systematically cultivated by the Martial Arts Academy.

With the elite military attache group in Xuzhou, the deep foundation of the old department of the Zuoguang German Army, and the support of the cottage military attache group headed by Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou, Han Qian was able to directly pull out the elite of the Shouzhou Army to fight in the field when the Tangyi soldiers became an army, so that they could win both battles, and even at this time they had already made preparations to attack Liyang City.

Li Zhihe's military command ability is in Dachu, and he is definitely not weaker than any one person, and even Han Qian cannot say that he has done better than him in many battles under his command; The Left Dragon Bird Army, under the command of Li Zhihe, has always shown strong enough combat effectiveness.

However, the problem is that before the Jingxiang War, Li Zhihe had always been a vassal of the Marquis of Xinchang, and his status was not much higher than Chai Jian, Li Chong and others, and he had to obey the orders of Li Pu and Lu Qingxia in everything.

Except for dozens of grassroots military attachés around him, all other aspects around him are subject to Li Pu and Lu Qingxia who is hiding behind the scenes.

After the Jingxiang War, Li Zhihe sat in Junzhou, then Shaozhou, and then transferred to Ezhou, even Lu Qingxia had to show a suppressive posture, making it difficult for Li Zhihe to have the opportunity to cultivate his lineage, and even if he did, it was only limited to the traditional promotion and envelopment, not to mention the systematic training of the military attache group like Han Qian.

The military attachés in the world are either from the traditional generals, such as the children of the princes of Zhedong County, or the generals are bloody fighters from the bottom step by step.

Both of these methods doomed the traditional training of military attaches to be inefficient and costly.

In the process of the rise of the Longhuai Army, it was first split into the left and right Dragon Bird Army, and then Gao Chengyuan and Chai Jian successively took out part of the combat power from the Left Dragon Bird Army to form the Yueyang Water Division and the Zuo Shenwu Army.

In the end, although Li Zhihe was able to better control the Zuo Longque Army, a considerable number of grassroots military attachés who had grown up after years of bloody fighting were spun off, and the talents who could really stay under Li Zhihe were still quite limited; At the same time, there are also quite a lot of problems accumulated within the Dragon Bird Army, which will take time to sort out.

To tell the truth, if Li Pu, Chen Mingsheng and others could be directly killed during the Jinling Incident, and Li Zhihe and Chai Jian would have directly divided the forces of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion at that time, the situation would be much better than now, and the forces they directly controlled would be much stronger than now.

However, during the Jinling Incident, although Li Pu was initially defeated in Baohua Mountain, and then was seized by Han Qian, he finally used the Li family led by Li Xiu and Li Qi to integrate the Gyeonggi family and Xuanzhou soldiers to form the Youguang German Army to establish military achievements.

After that, Li Pu fully supported the construction of the Right Shenwu Army with the resources he could control, which not only further dispersed the forces that the Xinchang Marquis Mansion could gather, but also directly limited the development of Li Zhihe and the Left Dragon Bird Army.

In this process, although Lu Qingxia secretly supported Li Zhihe, it was also another kind of restraint.

Even if he felt the strong rise of Tangyi Bing and Xuzhou, the situation became more urgent for Li Zhihe, but his principles and mentality were still fundamentally different from Lu Qingxia, Yao Xishui, Li Pu and others who were more accustomed to hiding in the shadows to engage in conspiracy and trickery.

At this time, he will need a relatively stable environment to stabilize his foundation, instead of trying to drag others back and rack his brains to calculate others.

Don't say that it may not be able to drag Xuzhou's hind legs, even if it can be dragged out, both defeat and Xuzhou will be lost, how can Liang Jun, Zheng Jia, etc. get along?

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he is the grandson of the emperor of the previous dynasty, Lu Qingxia may not have the possibility of replacing him with Chai Jian.

Han Qian and the Han family defected, prompting the Empress Dowager to return to the court as an auxiliary government instead of a regent, which actually greatly reduced the constraints of Lu Qingxia and others on Li Zhihe; And the Tangyi soldiers can capture Liyang in the shortest possible time, confine the Shouzhou army to Chaozhou City, and the troops cannot be stretched out, which will also make the eastern flank of Shuzhou safer, so that Li Zhihe can free up to do what he wants.

Therefore, before Feng Yi crossed the river and returned to Jinling City, Han Qian judged that the two sides had a basis for cooperation in cooperating with the attack on Liyang City.

Some things, even including the fact that Li Zhihe is the emperor and grandson of the previous dynasty, there is no need to keep it a secret from Han Daoming and Han Daochang at this time, Feng Yi told them Han Qian's thoughts at this time, so that they can understand why Li Zhihe will support the plan of the Empress Dowager's auxiliary government, and why he will cooperate with the Tangyi army's attack on Liyang, so that they can cooperate in Jinling without reservation and without scruples.

Han Daoming and Han Daochang were shocked for a long time and didn't know what to say, they didn't expect that Xuzhou had already mastered so many appalling secrets.

At this time, they also knew in their hearts that Han Qian had been coy in Tangyi before, saying that he would leave Jinling at any time and return to Jinling, mainly to force them to express their position.

In addition to solving the hidden dangers of Han Jun, Han Qian asked all the resources of the Han family to be invested on the north shore in a desperate way, which was actually to ask the Han family to act with Xuzhou as the leader in the future.

Han Qian may be worried that they will be like Lu Qingxia in the future, and they will elbow him, or drag Xuzhou back, right?

Of course, even if they realized this, Han Daoming and Han Daochang only smiled bitterly in their hearts.

Even if the early "Epidemic Water Sparse" and the strategy of cutting the feudal domain were written by the third child, and the third child secretly planned and meritorious, but two and a half years have passed since the third child was tortured and died, during this time, Jinling underwent earth-shattering changes, it was Han Qian who brazenly infiltrated Jinling, took away the military power of the remnants of the Taowu army collection household from Li Pu, recruited slaves and maids into the army, and reversed the crisis.

Even if the slaves and maids are recruited and the clan lords are attacked, it will make people think that Han Qian has offended the clan lords, and his methods have violated the taboo of monarchs and ministers, and it is difficult to have a chance to return to the center, but who would have thought that Han Qian would not only return to Jianghuai, but even gain room for survival between His Majesty and the Queen Mother.

Han Daoming could only express his admiration for Han Qian's skills, but he could no longer afford to elbow Han Qian.

Even if Han Qian will continue to suppress the power of the clan lords in the future, the interests of the Han family and Han Qian are naturally tied together, and there is no need to consider the temporary gains and losses.

"Hoo ......"

Han Daoming turned his head to look, and he didn't know when the old man fell asleep, leaning back on the chair and sneering slightly......

…………

Rushed to the camp of Beacon Mountain, and it was Guo Rong who carried Han Qian's handwritten letter to discuss the specific discussion of the Huaixi Forbidden Army's cooperation with Tangyi to attack Liyang.

To tell the truth, in such a short period of time, the Tangyi soldiers launched another offensive against the Shouzhou army and took Dazhai at the eastern foot of Tingzi Mountain, Li Zhihe, Yang En, Zhou Shu, Deng Tai and others were very surprised.

They thought that this was already the limit of the initial formation of the Tangyi army, and they could also understand Han Qian's eagerness to bring the Great Thorn Mountain under his rule and strive for a certain depth of defense for the Tangyi soldiers on the north bank.

When Guo Rong said that the Tangyi soldiers were ready to attack Liyang City and occupy Fucha Mountain, Qingcang Mountain and other places east of Chaohu Lake, Li Zhihe and Yang En were also moved, staring at Guo Rong, and even suspected that what he said was false, and asked: "The Tangyi soldiers were first organized into an army, but more than a month, the generals have not been trained, and the Marquis of Qianyang is really sure to capture Liyang?" ”

"We also advised Hou Ye not to be so hasty, but Hou Ye said that the Tangyi army is weak, but the Shouzhou army has not recovered from fatigue, maybe the only time is the only opportunity to capture Liyang and cut off the Lou Boat Army from Chaohu Lake into the Yangtze River waterway. Even if more than half of the casualties are killed, this battle will be fought, but I hope that the Marquis of Xinjin can contain the enemy army on the western flank! Guo Rong said.

At present, the Shouzhou army has a strategic advantage, and there are 50,000 defenders in Chaozhou, so it is naturally impossible for them all to retreat in Chaozhou City.

In fact, the Zuowu Guards and the Zuo Longque Army were the mainstay, plus the Huaixi Forbidden Army of the Zhuzhou Prefecture Soldiers, the strength of the troops remained about 60,000, and it was still the main threat to the Shouzhou Army's garrison in Chaozhou.

Therefore, the Chaozhou garrison has 40,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the fortress on the west bank of Chaohu Lake, and is currently actively transporting a large amount of materials to build these fortresses - the Lujiang camp and the Bijiashan camp of the Huaixi Forbidden Army on the eastern front are not just two points, but a series of walled fortresses built with Lujiang City and Bijia Mountain as the core, and a defense line of nearly 100 miles and 30 or 40 miles deep is pulled out diagonally from southeast to northwest.

On the one hand, it is necessary to maintain military pressure on the Huaixi Forbidden Army to the greatest extent and force the Huaixi Forbidden Army to not be able to rest for a short time, and on the other hand, the Shouzhou Army needs to form a stable defense line, which is not only conducive to the continuous and undisturbed transportation of bulk materials and energy into Chaozhou, but also to recruit displaced people and resume production on a larger scale.

Another important reason is that the Shouzhou Army completely controls Chaohu Lake from the left and right, and controls the waterways from Chaohu Lake into the Yangtze River, and after the Huai River and the Huaishui River thaw, the warships of the Lou Boat Army can enter the Yangtze River through these waterways.

Although the Lou Ship Army did not have strong ships for the time being, and could not compete with the Xuzhou Water Camp in the deep and wide Yangtze River waterway, their naval forces could enter the Yangtze River waterway to guerrilla attacks and harass it, and it could also greatly cut off the effective connection between the east and west of Great Chu.

If Han Qian can capture Liyang City and occupy Qingcang Mountain, and the troops can enter Chaohu Lake from the east bank, the situation is not only beneficial to Tangyi, but also extremely beneficial to Shuzhou.

The only scruple is that the Tangyi soldiers, who were initially formed into an army, can they capture Liyang?

Is Han Qian really determined to take Liyang in order to bear half of the casualties of the Tangyi soldiers?

Even if they contained the enemy army on the west bank of Chaohu Lake, and the city of Liyang was strong, and it was difficult to capture it suddenly in a short time, Xu Mingzhen was still able to mobilize a large number of troops and horses to reinforce Liyang.
