Hangzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the school field, thousands of troops gathered here, but the sound in the field was inaudible, the soldiers stood quietly and solemnly, the array was tight, the interval was orderly, and a solemn atmosphere was emanated.

Qian Biao stood on the high platform, looking at so many newly trained soldiers below, and the pride in his heart rose spontaneously.

Last year's Wuyongdu Rebellion greatly damaged his strength, not only losing Suzhou and Huzhou, but more importantly, the elite troops who had fought for many years were lost.

So after recovering a little, Qian Biao ordered Du Jianwei and Cheng He to go to Mingzhou and Yuezhou to recruit new soldiers respectively. Now that more than three months have passed, Qian Biao also wants to see the training results of the two new armies, so he ordered the two to each select thousands of soldiers to come to Hangzhou, plus the troops stationed outside Hangzhou, to practice martial arts here.

Fortunately, although the losses in the First World War last year were heavy, the successive fierce battles also trained a group of good lower-level officers, so the two new army commanders, team leaders, battalion commanders, etc., have all been tempered by the fire of war, and after the rectification and training of Cheng Ji and Du Jianwei in the past few months, they have roughly had some scale, although there is still a little gap compared to those veterans of a hundred battles at the beginning, but they are no longer a rabble, and they will go to the battlefield to exercise in the future, maybe they are two elites.

Seeing this effect, Qian Biao, who had been a little anxious since the rebellion in Wuyongdu, couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain. The ability of the two generals, Cheng Ji and Du Jianwei, is still very strong, although I don't know how other soldiers are, but these soldiers in front of me are already elite! Beside him, a scrawny old man twisted his beard and praised.

The old man in front of him is Qian Biao's advisor Luo Yin, who has a very high reputation and fame today, and even the lords of all the feudal towns want to hire him as a staff member, and even Wei Bojie Du makes Luo Hongxin always call him uncle because he has the same surname as him. However, Luo Yin refused the appointments of various feudal towns, but chose to take refuge in Qian Biao, after all, he himself is a native of Hangzhou.

Although Luo Yin is Qian Di's adviser, he usually speaks very politely, and when he saw him rarely praise him at this time, Cheng and the two were naturally happy, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Luo Lao for your praise, these two new armies are far from the elite." ”

How do you know that Luo Yin turned the conversation and said: "Hey, you are self-aware, these thousands of people look good, but whether they are good or have real skills, you still have to go to the battlefield to know!" ”

What he said was originally a fact, but when he said it, he choked the two of them enough, but his temperament has always been like this, and the two of them can't help it.

Qian Biao waved his hand and said: "Okay, now that the new army has also conducted military exercises, at least in terms of military formation discipline, it is still good, two generals, you tell the truth to Gu, among the 20,000 new troops you trained, how big is the gap between the rest of the army and these military exercises?" ”

Qian Biao also knew that those who were sent to perform martial arts must have performed well in training, so in order to find out the actual situation of these two new armies, he had to ask clearly.

Seeing Qian Biao's eagerness, Cheng Ji was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "King, is there another war?" Could it be that the Huainan Army has sent troops? ”

"It's not that the Huainan Army wants to send troops to attack me, but that Lone wants to send troops to attack Huainan!" Qian Biao said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Quan Wu sent a message from Guangling saying that now Yang Wu is separating the military and the government, and reorganizing the army, and now Huainan is in chaos. Moreover, the assassins in Huzhou, Shezhou and other places close to us have been replaced, and they have been replaced by two unknown generals, which is a good time to take back Huzhou! ”

It is impossible to hide the news of Guangling from Qian Biao, and with the presence of two envoys, Qian Chuanhui and Gu Quanwu, many things that happened in Huainan have been transmitted back in a steady stream, making Qian Biao feel that the time has come to take back Huzhou.

Huzhou is different from other places, it is the gateway to Hangzhou, and Suzhou was lost at the beginning, although it can attack Hangzhou from Jiaxing to the south, but if Huzhou is there, the situation in Hangzhou will not be too bad; However, when Huzhou is also lost, Hangzhou will become the forefront, and it may be attacked by the Huainan army from Huzhou, Suzhou, and Xuanzhou at any time.

In the face of this situation, there were still many people who persuaded Qian Biao to surrender to Yuezhou, and Qian Biao was once moved and wanted to move the administrative office to Yuezhou. However, Gu Quanwu insisted that he could not retreat, if he retreated, the place of governance would be safe on the surface, but the so-called step by step retreat, once the heart of comfort arises, in the future, in the face of the Huainan army's pressure step by step, it can only continue to retreat. The territory of Liangzhejiang is not big now, even if you retreat, where can you retreat.

Therefore, Gu Quanwu not only advocated that he could not surrender Yuezhou, but should take Hangzhou as the foundation and look for opportunities to plot Huzhou.

Qian Biao was deeply impressed by Gu Quanwu's opinion, so after hearing that Yang Wu's separation of military and government had caused turmoil in Huainan, he intended to send troops to Huzhou, and the Huzhou rebellion a few days ago was actually done behind his back. It's a pity that although the newcomer Li Tao, the assassin of Huzhou, is not well-known in the Huainan Army, he can be selected by Yang Wu as the assassin of an important place like Huzhou, and naturally he has some ability, so Qian Di's plan not only did not succeed, but made the forces close to him in Huzhou also been purged.

Since the means of inciting local forces to rebel did not work, they had to raise troops to attack. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity to recover Huzhou, when the internal adjustment of Huainan is completely completed, I am afraid that there will be no such good opportunity again.

Cheng and the two have been training recruits in the army during this time, and they don't know much about these situations, so they can't help but be solemn when they hear Qian Di's words.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Ji replied: "King, the training of the other soldiers under the command of the last general is worse than the one in front of you, but not much worse, and the last general thinks that it is okay to let them go to the battlefield." Therefore, if the king has made up his mind to move his army, there is no need to think about it. ”

Du Jianwei also meant the same thing, both of them knew the importance of Huzhou, and they also knew that it was a good opportunity to launch an attack during the internal adjustment period in Huainan, and it was probably the best opportunity.

Qian Biao sighed and said: "In fact, it is the best time to launch an attack at the beginning of Yang Wu's military and political separation, but unfortunately at that time, the training of the two new armies had just begun, and Lone didn't want to send those untrained rabble to the battlefield to die."

"What's more, the messenger sent to contact Zhong Chuan, the king of Nanping, has only replied until now, Zhong Chuan, after all, he is old!" Qian Biao shook his head, with some disdain in his tone.
