Chapter 784 - Preemptive Strike (1)
();
King Xian thought about it again and again, and finally decided to do this:
"In this case, the artillery will be exempted, and the rest of Lu Aiqing will look at it, don't go too far."
"I understand."
"Besides, the urgent paperwork sent to Yongxinghou should have arrived a long time ago."
"If there is no delay on the road, it should be around October 13."
Dekang is about 2,500 miles away from the Xianguo border in a straight line, and about 3,500 miles to Chenling.
Because the Wanchuan road is not open, the news sent by Chenling to Dekang County needs to go to Xiaguan, Changyin, and Ganfu through Qiunan through Zhiguo and then send Dekang, not to mention 1,500 miles more.
After more than 10 years of construction, the Xianguo Post Station was rushed to deliver urgent messages in 600 miles, and it could arrive as soon as October 13, but in fact it did not arrive at the front line until October 15, and it was delayed for two days for various reasons.
Of course, if you use a healthy BMW instead of a first-class horse to deliver the news, it is not difficult to change horses in the middle of the way, travel 1,200 miles a day, and deliver it within five days. However, due to the limited quantity, the cost of breeding, and the theft of horses, the Jianbao is limited to a small number of centralized use.
At the same time that the news was delivered to Xuandi's camp on the 15th, the news of the royal guests came one after another, and the eldest grandson reached an agreement with Shengyan and Thunder, and the rebels changed banners with the sixth day of the first month of November, and the banners were not easy to accept. Since the rebels secretly surrendered to Changsun, they continued to raise the banner of the rebels, and at the same time, before November 26, they made a good plan to move south to counterattack the Xian army.
"The eldest grandson thief is really going to do it, it seems that he doesn't give a little look, because he doesn't know how powerful this handsome is. Mr. Zhao, now that the news of the Thunder Navy and the Changsun Navy is accurate, the commander is determined to strike first, what does Mr. think? β
"How is the Hou Ye going to reply to the king?"
"Chop first, then play, and it's not too late to play when you're done."
"Even so, there is no objection to this."
"That's good, Jiang Jie!"
"The last general!"
"Send someone to contact Huang Che and Chen Qu, and the warships will assemble in Jiangquan as soon as possible."
"No!"
"General Gu."
"What do you command?"
"After the commander leaves, the Dekang Xianjun Army and the new attached army are all dispatched by you, Jiang Jie is your deputy general, and Mr. Zhao is temporarily the commander of the whole army.
"The last will obey."
At this time, Zhou Kong stepped forward and said:
"What about me, what do I do!"
"General Zhou temporarily left his men and horses here, and followed his commander to attack the rebels in the north."
"Why is Ben going to take the boat with you, and others are staying here!"
"This is a military order, does General Zhou want to disobey the military order?"
Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, Zhou Kong raised his thick eyebrows and puffed out his cheeks vigilantly:
"What are you trying to do with your bad intentions?"
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became a little weird, and everyone's eyes were all flowing back and forth, and it was just when the guards outside the tent came to report at the time of embarrassment:
"Deputy Marshal Qiyu, Doctor Gongliang asks to see you."
"Please."
"No!"
Bai Liyan had already expected what Gongliang was doing here, but it would never be for the purpose of selling Xingcheng and Zhaocheng.
At the next moment, Gongliang Xiu entered the tent, with a displeased face, and saw Bailiyan raise his hand to give a slight salute, and then said:
"Yongxing Hou, I just got the news that Yuke drove 50,000 war horses across my Zhiguo and came all the way to the north. You say, is it the military horse that your Xianjun wants? β
"Exactly, what's wrong?"
Bai Liyan asked rhetorically, and Gongliang Xiu seemed to be very angry:
"Your Xianjun is not satisfied with swallowing Qiujun now, and is still continuing to advance westward, you Yongxing Marquis really wants to tear your face with the defense of the country, and use these 50,000 war horses to fight to the end."
"Hehe......" Bai Liyan smiled indifferently and continued: "Ben Shuai first asked Brother Gongliang how King Zhi considered the city and Xingcheng. β
"What does this have to do with 50,000 horses?"
"Of course, there is something to do with it, if King Zhi does not agree to replace the two cities before the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid that he will pay a higher price to get back half of the counties of Xiaguan and Changyin."
Bailiyan said that the clouds are unfathomable, and it always makes Gongliang's head unfathomable:
"Yongxing Hou, what do you mean?"
"Brother Gongliang doesn't need to ask again, after half a month, my brother knows it. Please come back today, send off! β
Baili Yan ordered the eviction of guests, but Gongliangxiu was still confused:
"Yongxing Hou, haven't you been deceiving me for the past few days."
"Everything that should be said is said to Brother Gongliang, and the rest of the Shu Benshuai is inconvenient to disclose and send off guests."
After speaking, Jiang Jie came to Gongliangxiu:
"Doctor Gongliang, please."
"You... Outrageous! β
Gongliang Xiu flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. After he left, Bai Liyan continued:
"All armies and battalions will be handed over in place within two days, and two days later, General Zhou and the guards will go to Jiangquan with the commander and scatter the tent!"
"No!"
The crowd spoke in unison, and then dispersed.
Zhou Kong was disgruntled, and soon after leaving, he complained and said:
"Treacherous people want to take advantage of me again!"
"General Zhou, isn't it very good that the deputy marshal is so good to you, and it is Mrs. Hou who enters the door, no one in the world is more blessed than General Zhou."
Xiao Lianzi said without heart, and Zhou Kong roared:
"Phew! The family married Mrs. Qifang, and she shamelessly lied to me, who is rare and shitty Mrs. Hou. You are rare, why don't you marry him! β
Xiao Lianzi was red-faced and red-eared, and was busy covering up:
"Little lotus seed, don't you dare......"
"Hmph, I see that you were hooked by a kid surnamed Jiang, don't forget, he is also a married man, and it will not be your turn to be big when you enter the door."
Zhou Kong has been thinking about it for a long time recently, and he always feels that Bai Liyan's sweet words that night are unreliable, and he is cutting her military power either openly or secretly, purely planning to use her as a woman who can be used to serve at any time and night when marching and fighting. Thinking through this layer, the more Zhou Kong thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
On the afternoon of the day of the dispersal, Gongliang Xiu mistakenly thought that he had been a bad deed of Bailiyan, and angrily led people out of the camp.
Two days later, Bailiyan led Tian Peng and 500 guards to Jiangquan with Zhou Kong, Xiaolianzi and others, and joined Huang Che and Chen Qu. Zhou Kong and the others were not as good as Bailiyan, and it was October 20 when the group arrived in Jiangquan.
Huang and Chen have been transporting grain and grass supplies back and forth on the east and west banks of the Sishui River to train the water army, Huang Che's ability to command the army can only be said to be improvised, at best, he was born in the water bandits, familiar with the habits of the water bandits, relying on the strength of the soldiers and horses, stronger than the water bandits, the chance of winning against the regular water army is very small, and there is no chance of winning when encountering the Changsun water army.
Chen Qu and Chen Dian's father and son inherited Chen Fei's fine traditions, and although the Xianguo Navy has shrunk greatly since the First World War in Jiangdong, fortunately, the seeds and main military attachΓ©s of the navy have been passed down during Chen Feishi's tenure.
His grandson Chen Diangen was seventeen years old, trained in the lecture hall for several years, mastered advanced concepts and cognition, passed on from father to son, and constantly replenished fresh blood, and the hope of the Xianguo Navy was pinned on the father and son of the Chen family.
