[1000 words in the previous chapter]

It is human nature to avoid misfortune and seek blessing; There is no way for good or evil, but people call themselves.

In the face of the soldiers and horses of the North Road of the Western Army going south, Zhongxiang of Dongting Lake, who bore the brunt of the attack, all the soldiers and horses scattered in the military village of the town on the shore withdrew to the Chenyang Baotai Mountain Village.

There are more than 70 military villages in the key points of the surrounding passes, and it is impregnable to create. Even if the combat strength of the Western Army is amazing, it does not want to take it in the short term.

Wang Qingjun, who was stationed in Yiyang and Yuanjiang, also moved to Chongxiao Town in Chenyang, where there was a small peninsula in the lake, like a long snake that twisted and turned, and was occupied by Wang Qingjun at this time.

The first is to give full play to Wang Qingjun's advantages of being better at land warfare; second, the cross-section is narrow, and the number of troops used is not much; The three can be fortified layer by layer, and the attack is blocked layer by layer. And there are water villages on the left and right, and the precautions can be described as foolproof. Even if it is not as strong as Baotai Mountain, it is also a small copper bean that is hard.

So much so that after the Western Army drove to Chongxiao Town, they all looked at Ma Claw.

If so, there was no war on Jinghu South Road at all, and the obedient Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing called the Western army from afar to win a lot.

The seed master road went to Jiangling Mansion first, and the west army of the North Road had already divided a front army of tens of thousands of people to Shishou and Huarong, but Zhong Xiang and Wang Qingshi made him think that there was no need for the army to continue to go south, and he had ordered the rear army to go straight to Xiangyang and go to Ezhou [Wuhan] along the Han River.

The seed master himself met with the brother seed master in Jiangling Mansion, and the north and south roads and the western army converged to discuss this Jiangnan matter.

The intentions of the imperial court are already very clear, no matter how the cultivator thinks, he has to respect it. Because his generals are already coveting the wealth of Jiangnan.

Now, the Western Army General has been standing in the imperial court for this year. The wealth of Jiangnan was taken by itself, and the imperial court let tens of thousands of troops on the North Road and the West fight for more than half a year, and the Kansai men, who looked exhausted earlier, blinked and lifted their spirits.

Money is moving.

Stop, the seed master can't stop it, he knows this in his heart. The allure of Qian Silk to the Kansai Han has been undoubtedly revealed in the past 70 years.

The seed master is eight years younger than his brother Seed Master Dao, compared to his brother who is nearly seventy years old, he is just sixty years old, and his body bones are undoubtedly stronger.

To say that the climate in Jingnan and Jingbei is somewhat different from that in Kansai, many people in the army fell ill because of the water and soil, but he never fell ill from beginning to end. Strode to the front of the line, and greeted his brother and Liu Yanqing, and the generals Ji Jing, Qu Ke, Wang Yu, and Wu Zihou led behind him stepped forward, saluted on both sides, and walked into the line.

This is a courtyard of a rich and noble family outside Jiangling City, and before the seed master Dao and others arrived at Jiangling Mansion, the main family will be offered early.

When everyone sat down, a huge map covering Jinghu Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road and Zhejiang Road was hung high.

The map has all the mountains and rivers, and the cities and passes are marked on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look, the Liangshan thieves and horses have occupied the Wuwei army." Everyone sat down, gossiped less, and the seed master opened his mouth to be Liangshan Army. On the hanging map, most of the Huainan land is occupied by the black color representing the Liangshan army.

Then he held the whip and pointed it in Chizhou Prefecture, "South of the big river, east of Poyang Lake, except for Pengze County, only here is still holding on." This place is the place where our army can be rescued quickly, and it is also a place that must be saved. ”

But these are all small things, the real big thing is how to attack Jiangnan, today's Manichaeism, Jiangnan West Road has accounted for nine out of ten, in addition to Jiangzhou, that is, only Raozhou still has some participation, plus a Chizhou city.

"It's not advisable to raid along the river. His army had already set up a naval division in Jinling, and its forces were expanding rapidly, and the warships were increasing day by day. Liu Menglong supervised his subordinates to fight with them more, and it was difficult to gain the upper hand. "This is mostly because Liu Menglong has rich experience in water warfare, and all the ships used by his sailors are regular warships, as well as Cai Dezhang's full support, so he relies on Jiangzhou as a base and tightly rejects the Manichaean sailors from Jiangdong.

"Now there are only two choices in front of Wang Pingxi's army, one is to attack Huainan." The seed master pointed to the Wuwei army and said: "That is, to seize the Wuwei army from the Jiangbei land, and then save Chizhou." Relying on the north and south in this way, gaining a firm foothold, and then advancing Jinling, the Wuwei army is less than 300 miles away from Jinling in a straight line. ”

"In this way, our army can also be horned with the Huainan official army who retreated to the Lujiang River. Xiao Yao (Yao Gu) has asked Duan Ru (Seed Master Daozi) for help many times. ”

It's just that when they come like this, they are waiting to face Liang Shanjun.

The Liangshan army, which has already captured Luzhou, will let go of the land of Huainan in vain? But if they don't let it go, how can the Western Army relax and capture Jinling?

This is a paradox.

"Then there is the line of the Yangtze River and the land route to exterminate the Manichaean bandits." There is no need to say much about the way of the planter. From how to march into Jiangnan by land, the map has been clearly drawn.

There are two roads, one is to enter Shezhou from Rao, and you can enter Shezhou along the Changjiang River and Le'an River. After seizing Shezhou and then attacking Muzhou along the Xin'an River, in this way, Hangzhou can be seen.

The second is to beat Fuzhou to Xinzhou, that is, Shangrao in later generations, and then all the way to the east, Quzhou, Wuzhou [Jinhua], Taizhou, Mingzhou [Ningbo], which is a large passage across the south of the Yangtze River.

On the satellite geographical maps of later generations, it can be clearly seen that from the southern end of the Poyang Lake Plain to the east, there is a plain valley line with a color that is significantly lighter than the mountains and hills in the north and south, and can extend eastward to the seaside.

Even so, it doesn't mean that there are no barriers and dangers, but it is obviously much easier to compare the mountains and hills on both sides.

At the same time, this army can also communicate with Fujian, if the western army can really break through the entire passage and go straight to the seaside, then the land south of the two Zhejiang roads will probably return to the rule of Zhao Song.

The atmosphere in the lobby was calm, and the generals looked at each other, but no one dared to speak easily. Because today's verdict is very important, not only involving their honor and disgrace, but also related to the survival of the Western Army.

"Duanru, you are the commander of the South Road, located in the land of Jinghu, very close to the south of the Yangtze River, let's talk about it." The seed master had no choice but to name the seed master.

The latter had obviously thought about this strategy for a long time, and opened his mouth and said: "In my opinion, our army should enter the Wuwei army and go straight to Jinling along the line of the Yangtze River." "That Fuzhou and Narao Prefecture, no matter how much it can communicate with the south of the Yangtze River, is not as smooth as it is along the Yangtze River. It is more convenient for the Western Army to gallop.

"What about Liang Shanjun? Will they really raise a large number of troops to fight our army? A sneer appeared on the planter's face. Lu Qian's two thieves, although his name is Weng's son-in-law, he is actually harboring evil intentions. Seeing that our army was approaching Jinling, I was afraid that the land thieves would ask the Liangshan army to retract. ”

No one is a fool, if this Great Song Dynasty really does not succeed, Lu Qian and Fang La will not be Weng sons-in-law at that time, but enemies of life and death. The two of them don't know if they don't believe it, but it's only because Zhao Song is still there that the two families seem close. It is used for marriage.

"This is a no-brainer. Jinling is the first place in the south of the Yangtze River, and Fangla must be heavily defended. It's not easy. And if our army goes straight to Jinling, the army is trapped under the fortified city, and there is the Liangshan army in the north of the river, it will not seem to be dancing on the tip of a knife, like walking on thin ice. If it's not enough, it's a complete loss. Zhao Long was the first to object, and the strategy in the seed master was too risky.

Even if Liang Shanjun really retreated as he said, could it be that they could still directly let Tuzhou, Hezhou, and Zhenzhou out.

"The Wuwei army is still two or three hundred miles away from Jinling, such a long distance, if our army conquers Jinling, it will be too unsafe to expose all the flanks under the eyes of the Liangshan thieves."

"The old man thinks that it is better to avoid the Liangshan thieves and walk in Raozhou and Fuzhou." Zhao Long just felt that Manichaeism should not be underestimated. Hugh took that Fang La as child's play. Since the chaos in the Central Plains, whether it is the people who invite merit and good deeds in the court, or the villains in the local area, they have added a lot of embellishments to the military situation, and it is difficult to be trustworthy in what they say. Cai Wei of Jiangnan East Road is one of the models. ”

"My generation is isolated in the west, lonely and unheard, and it is difficult to understand the affairs of Jiangnan and Qilu. Although the Manichaean army has always been known to be weak, what is its armament, the number of troops it has, and whether it is worthy of a war or not, can there be real information? Dare to ask, but did you really know? Zhao Long's words made the seed master also feel stunned. He really can't guarantee this.

"Knowing oneself and knowing the other side is the only way to win a hundred battles. Today, the enemy does not know the situation, and if he is in a hurry to use his troops, he will turn evil into a blessing or a victory, and it is really difficult to predict. ”

"Although our Western Army is strong, it has never set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has a chance to win against the Fangla rebels? If you don't know yourself or the other, if you stumble, how can you do it? ”

There was another deep silence, which made the temperature in the venue suddenly drop to the lowest point.

He looked at the congregation, looked at the faces of the generals, and knew that his and Zhao Long's opinions had divided everyone into two factions, and as long as he could 'defeat' Zhao Long, he would win the battle.

"Zi Yan (Zhao Long) is very worried. Our army is very unfamiliar in the land south of the Yangtze River, but it is the truth, and it is true that the Namanichaean army does not know much. However, soldiers and soldiers rely on mobility and flexibility, and the magic of use is single-minded. According to the conditions of the time and the local conditions, how can we be arrogant, confined to a corner of the place, and rest on our laurels?

I remember that Zhou Shizong led the Central Plains Forbidden Brigade to the north, fought Gaoping, defeated the Hedong soldiers, and slightly reached Jinyang. Later, the southwest of the rotation, swept Qinlong, drank the horse river, Houshu and Southern Tang although they had geographical advantages, but they were all invincible and bowed their heads to the ministers. The defense is solid, Yangrui goes north, pro-conquest of the Khitan, the blade is within reach, the good news is frequent, and the states of Yingyu have been determined one after another, and the great achievement has been made in Russia. If it weren't for his return due to illness, this land of Yanyun would have already belonged to my Chinese territory.

Now our western army has gathered the world's strong soldiers and talented ministers, sharp soldiers and good generals, and it is the pillar of the imperial court, the country's dry city, east, west, north and south, why not? What Zhou Shizong can do, he knows that my generation can't do it! Although Zi Yan's words are solemn and steady, they are inevitably corrupt. ”

"This year, our western army cut the arrogance of the tiger in the north, and destroyed Wang Qingzhi in the south. If the rebellion of Fangla is rebellious, and the Qilu thief army is expelled on another day, the land of the Central Plains will be determined and returned to the rule of our emperor Song. Zhu Gong has established the merit of not publishing, which can be famous for bamboo silk and pictures. ”

"When a husband is in the world, he should work hard to make meritorious contributions and be the first to whip. If you don't take it now, you will be taken by others, and it will be too late to regret it. Don't you hear that there is a sentence in the former Tang Dynasty: Fame and fame can only be taken immediately, and he is really a hero and a husband. ”

The words of the planter were full of pride, and his spirit was flying, like a scorching red sun, melting the worries in the hearts of the generals like the ice and snow left after spring.

Seeing it in his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Gai is because of the thoughts in the planter, which is what he thinks. The two have exchanged correspondence for a long time and have been communicating for a long time.

It's just that he fears that this strategy is too risky and will be opposed. Therefore, he was called to the seed master to put it forward, and at the right time, he made a final decision.

The reason why the strategy of land warfare was not adopted was because it took too long there, and the fighting continued everywhere, and the soldiers were afraid of heavy casualties, and if the grievances of the soldiers were to be eliminated, it would inevitably be fierce in the place.

However, if Zhao Song wanted to completely calm the world and reorganize the country, the land south of the Yangtze River would not be able to suffer for a long time. Because in his eyes, this chaos will never be calmed down in a year or two.

The imperial court gave up Qilu and went to the south of the Yangtze River, but in fact, it lost Hebei and cut the meat to feed the tiger, so that the tiger could be stable for the time being, so that the court would have time to concentrate its forces and cut off the gang in the south of the Yangtze River.

The southern part of the river is claimed to have an army of 500,000 people, and even if most of them are unbearable fighters, there must be countless bandits in it. When the Western Army conquered the Tianhu Army and Wang Qingjun, the losses were not large, but after a long battle, they came to Jiangnan to fight again, but there are two things to say.

The doctrinal slogans of Namanichaeism, he had also read. and even to deceive the people, and to obey his commands. Thinking about it this way, I also know that when the Western army fights with Manichaeism, there will inevitably be a good fight. After this battle, the Western Army is afraid that it will hurt its vitality, how can it fight the Qiluliang bandits again?

When he was blind and deaf, he didn't know that there was already a crooked wind blowing in the Luoyang court, but he was clamoring for the official family to move the capital to Jiangling, and the heart of the thief was overflowing.

This is an undisguised sale of Hebei and Gyeonggi.

Even the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court don't think that the Western Army still has the strength to cut off the Liangshan thieves after pacifying Fang La, right?

The Seed Master Dao thinks the same way. Therefore, he thought that Jiangnan should not be in chaos for a long time, if the heads of the people who were killed by each other were boiling and bleeding, it would hurt the vitality of the imperial court.

But there is no one to tell him about such a matter except for the planter.

……

By the end of the month, a western army had gone down the Yangtze River to Jiujiang. Then it was divided into two, one went north to aid the Lujiang River, the other crossed the mouth of the lake, landed from Pengze, and the army went east to kill. It was the sailors led by Liu Menglong who were all overwhelmed by Ma Dang......

When the news reached Huaixi, there were many opinions. At the right time, there was a rumor that spread like the wind in the land of Huainan - the Western Army was going to recover Huainan. And what just makes people 'believe it' is that the western army that reinforced Lujiang quickly captured the Wuwei army.

In Haozhou City, it was lunch time at the moment, and the yamen in Haozhou City should be the most deserted. But today, the state government is as lively as it is fiery. A group of wealthy local households, represented by An Minyuan of Chihe Town, arrived at the state yamen in the morning, blocking Li Dao, the governor of Haozhou, to ask for an answer.

Li Dao is now in Haozhou mixed with the parents of a state, and the official fortune of this guy is really not low. When they went to see Tong Guan together, Cheng Wanli, who was the main envoy, only served as the political envoy of the newly established Shandong Province.

Under Lu Qian's rule, the governor of a province was called the governor, and there were political envoys on the left and right, and then there were envoys to take charge of the civil affairs, finances, and actions of the province. Set up a provincial commander of soldiers and horses, and hold a provincial military affairs - garrison army. Set up a student promotion officer to take charge of the culture and education of a province.

Cheng Wanli has only just become a political envoy to Youbu, and Li Dao is already in Haozhou, an important town in Huaixi, as a state parent. This guy has a bright future.

In the second hall, the adjutants of the yamen of the original state capital were unbearable and had already run away. Li Dao sat at the desk, holding a pen in his hand, and his pen was flying, giving instructions on various articles, most of which were related to military supplies.

Although the Huainan Army captured Luzhou, Haozhou was still its general logistics base. Countless soldiers, armor, money and grain flowed from the canal to Chuzhou [Huai'an], and then changed to Huaishui, came to Haozhou, and then transferred to the Luzhou front line through Haozhou. He turned a deaf ear to the noise around him. ()
