Chapter 371: Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo

In Songzhou City, although Zhu Wen judged that the purpose of Yang Wu's Northern Expedition was to lure Wei Quanyan to take the initiative, there was still a little doubt that Zhu Wen had not thought it through. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This question is, what method is Yang Wu going to use to deal with the army of dangerous irony.

You must know that the total strength of the Huainan Army's Northern Expedition this time is not a lot, and the number of troops left in Guangling will definitely not be too much, can it be said that Yang Wu plans to use the little force left in Guangling to deal with the danger of Quanyan?

Although the coalition formed by Wei Quanyi does not know what the combat strength is, it has a lot of troops, and in Zhu Wen's opinion, it is not so easy to defeat Wei Quanyi.

"Could it be that Yang Wu is going to hold on to Jiangxi first, and then quickly send troops back from Suzhou?"

Zhu Wen couldn't figure it out for a while, but at this time, since Wei Quanyi had already sent a coalition army to attack Jiangxi, the Liang army could no longer be as casual as before, and at least it would have to increase the pressure on the Huainan army, so that they could not draw troops back to help Jiangxi.

"Pass the order, and tomorrow the army will start to camp south and attack Yongcheng!"

……

"The old man originally thought that there was no chance to capture Hongzhou in the short term, but he didn't expect that Yang Wu, the king of Wu, was so unwise that he actually transferred the army to the Northern Expedition at this time, is this God going to give Jiangxi to the old man?"

Outside the city of Fuzhou, looking at the army marching north, the danger was full of irony, and there was a kind of heroic spirit of pointing out the country.

When Yang Wu transferred all the main forces of the Huainan Army stationed in Jiangxi, because he deliberately made a lot of noise, Wei Quanyi and the others quickly received the news.

However, Wei Quanyi also knew that if he fought with the main force of the Huainan army, he had no hope of victory at all, so before the Huainan army arrived in Suzhou and the Liang army officially engaged, Wei Quanyi held back his ambitions and continued to wait for the opportunity.

It was not until not long ago that the news of the official war between the Liang army and the Huainan army was received, and Wei Quanyi sent an envoy to unite Peng Ji, Lu Guangchou and others.

However, in the end, the response was good, and both Ma Yin and Peng Ji agreed to his plan to send troops to help the war.

Among them, Fuzhou under the control of Wei Quanyi and his younger brother Wei Zichang controlled Xinzhou sent a total of 40,000 troops, while Jizhou controlled by Peng Ji and Yuan Zhou controlled by his younger brother Peng Yanzhang sent 20,000 troops, a total of 60,000 troops, falsely claiming to be 100,000, to attack Hongzhou.

In addition, Ma Yin also sent 20,000 troops to help in the battle, and the target of the Chu army's attack was Gao'an County, southwest of Hongzhou, which is the junction of Jiangxi and Hunan, and the terrain is extremely important, and Huainan has more troops left behind.

It's a pity that Lu Guangchou, the assassin of Qianzhou, did not send a single soldier, and Wang Zhenzhi of Fujian also did not join the attack on Hongzhou.

Of course, although there is less of these two forces to help, in Wei Quanyan's view, this attack on Hongzhou should be a sure thing, the Huainan Army's troops left behind in Hongzhou are only a few thousand troops, and they have to divide their troops to guard Gao'an, and the ones who can really be used to defend the city should not even be one-tenth of their side.

With such a large advantage in troops, Wei Quanyan felt that it was impossible for him to fail to attack Hongzhou, so it didn't matter whether Lu Guangchou and Wang Zhenzhi joined him.

"When the old man captures Hongzhou, presumably Lu Guangchou will definitely regret it!"

In Qianzhou City, Lu Guangchou, who is 67 years old this year, is now full of gray hair and hangs old, and in this era when he is in his fifties and is considered old, Lu Guangchou is now at an age where he may die of illness at any time.

And his best friend and strategist Tan Quanbo is older than him, and now he is in his seventies.

However, compared to Lu Guangchou's old face, Tan Quanbo's body is still tough, and he looks much younger than Lu Guangchou. His resourcefulness has not diminished with old age, but has become more and more spicy.

"Although Yang Wu, the king of Wu, is young, but this person is extremely resourceful, how could he transfer the army of Hongzhou to the Northern Expedition for no reason? There must be a plan! Wei Quansari went north this time, but I am afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious! Tan Quanbo sighed.

Speaking of which, Lu Guangchou's ability to have today can be said to be inseparable from Tan Quanbo's strong support behind him.

At that time, Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo saw that the world was in chaos, so they raised troops in Qianzhou and dominated the party.

However, Lu Guangchou's fame at that time was far inferior to Tan Quanbo, who was a high school jinshi, so everyone originally planned to nominate Tan Quanbo as the leader, but Tan Quanbo sternly refused.

Later, with the strong support of Tan Quanbo, Lu Guangchou was able to become the assassin of Qianzhou.

Originally, if ordinary people encountered this kind of situation where the majesty of their subordinates was far above their own, it would definitely lead to a conflict between the two, and in the end, either one side was killed by the other, or both sides were defeated, and others were cheapened.

However, this situation did not appear between Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo, the two have always maintained an excellent friendship, and Lu Guangchou did not suppress Tan Quanbo's majesty and ability above him; Tan Quanbo also did not have ambitions, but devoted himself to assisting Lu Guangchou.

Officially, the concerted efforts of the two made the strength of Qianzhou extremely famous in the entire south.

It's a pity that only these two people are outstanding in the entire Qianzhou, and the others are too far behind, which has led to the fact that although Qianzhou has expanded externally many times, Tan Quanbo's hard-earned territory cannot be defended.

Now that both of them are old, they naturally know that the time for expansion has passed, and protecting the territory and the people is their best choice.

Not long ago, when Wei Quanshu sent an envoy to ask Lu Guangchou to send troops to help him attack Hongzhou, Lu Guangchou originally wanted to agree and send troops to help Wei Quanshu defeat Hongzhou.

Compared with Huainan, a strong enemy, the threat to Qianzhou is naturally much smaller.

However, Tan Quanbo was resolutely opposed to sending troops, because he felt an unusualness in it.

"You say, is it true that there is no chance at all?" Lu Guangchou was still a little unwilling: "Although the Huainan Army is strong, its main force and the most elite army have been used by Yang Wu for the Northern Expedition, and the rest is only a second-class state soldier, whose training level is at most a little stronger than that of the Fuzhou army, but its strength is too far behind, and it is not without a chance!" ”

"Opportunity? Does you really think this is an opportunity? Although there are a lot of troops in this situation, but not to mention anything else, the fact that the orders are not in place may become his Achilles' heel, in addition, lack of training, incompetence of generals, etc., these are all weaknesses of the danger. As long as the Huainan Army leads more than 10,000 elite soldiers with one general, it is not difficult to defeat the danger! In addition, Yang Wu had a lot of doubts in this Northern Expedition, so he must have been secretly arranged, deliberately luring Wei Quanxian to go north! Therefore, his subordinates feel that he will be more than lucky when he goes north this time! Tan Quanbo sighed: "It's a pity that Wei Quanyan refused to listen to my advice, this time it must be critical!" ”

The so-called powerlessness is like this, with Tan Quanbo's resourcefulness, Qianzhou should not be the only force now, but unfortunately the other generals are really not powerful, so Tan Quanbo's efforts are in vain.

And this time, although Tan Quanbo saw Yang Wu's plan, it was a pity that others were soft-spoken, and it was not enough to say that he was in danger, this is his helplessness.

Fortunately, although Wei Quanyan did not listen to his advice and insisted on attacking Hongzhou, Lu Guangchou still obeyed him, and this time he finally chose to watch from the wall.

"That's it! Since you are so unoptimistic about the danger of irony, then he must really be in a bad situation. My Qianzhou is remote, the people are stable, and the troops are sufficient, even if Huainan defeats Wei Quanyan, but if you want to plot against my Qianzhou, it is not so easy! Lu Guangchou finally said.

Under Tan Quanbo's persuasion, Qianzhou did not join the attack on Hongzhou in the end, but it allowed the Qianzhou army to avoid a catastrophe, and the time for Huainan to capture Qianzhou was greatly delayed.

(There is only one shift today, and tomorrow we will start to make up for what we owe before.) )
