In the early morning of the next day, as the vanguard, Li Guo and Man Dazhuang led the army to set off, nearly 300 large ships full of food and supplies, as well as naval warships, began to leave the bank of the Yangtze River, spread their sails and went down the river east, Wang Yan led 30,000 troops behind, and slaughtered towards Jiujiang.

The army passed through the ten-mile long pavilion outside Wuchang City, and He Tengjiao led a large group of Hubei officials to wait outside the pavilion, which made Wang Yan a little surprised.

Although he informed He Tengjiao, the relationship between the two was a little discordant after all, and he didn't expect He Tengjiao to come to see him off.

At this time, Wang Yan had to whip the war horse and separate from the brigade, and all the generals and guards behind him also patted their horses to follow, and finally stopped outside the pavilion.

Wang Yan turned over and dismounted, threw the horsewhip behind him, let the guards catch it, and then strode towards the pavilion, He Tengjiao saw this, he picked up a bowl of wine from the stone table to greet him, and said with a smile: "This governor wishes the stallion of Chu State to be successful and recover all Jiangxi~"\u000b Maybe it was the battle of Wuchang, or maybe it was this relief for refugees, which made He Tengjiao's senses for Wang Yan have undergone some changes, and even some dependence, even he didn't notice it.

At this time, he saw Wang Yan take the wine bowl and drink it all, so he couldn't help asking: "This time Shiheng attacked Jin Shengheng and brought all the elite soldiers into Jiangxi, Hubei is the first line of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, if the Qing soldiers come again, how should I deal with it?" ”

Wang Yan was a little surprised to hear He Tengjiao call his expression, which showed that He Tengjiao had the intention of resolving the conflict with him, he smiled slightly, this time the two of them won a big game in Hubei, although the process was still a little unpleasant, but after all, there was no big contradiction, and Wang Yan kept his promise to give Hubei to He Tengjiao, and He Tengjiao followed the credit of recovering Wuchang, and the title of a duke could not run, which can be described as a great joy.

Before Wang Yan was preparing to attack Jiangxi, he had actually discussed with He Tengjiao about Hubei's future strategy, that is, to become a barrier to the Southern Ming Dynasty, as long as Hubei was in hand, Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi in the south would be able to develop with peace of mind and restore the economy.

Perhaps it was because He Tengjiao realized this and had no bottom in his heart, so he took the opportunity to see him off and asked Wang Yan, who could fight better than him.

Wang Yan listened to He Tengjiao's words, and immediately turned back to the guards behind him and said, "Go and bring the map of Hubei~"

"No need~" He Tengjiao smiled: "This governor has already prepared!" ”

As he spoke, the officials in the pavilion had removed the drinks from the stone table in the middle and laid out a map.

Wang Yan was happy to ask He Tengjiao about him, for fear that he would make trouble for himself, so he strode to the stone table, and a group of Hubei officials immediately surrounded him.

Hubei has just been recovered, and the imperial court has not had time to appoint them, these people are all newcomers promoted by He Tengjiao, they have no experience, and their hearts are as bottomless as He Tengjiao.

Wang Yan looked at the map for a moment, and then pointed to Hubei and said: "Hubei is connected to the east and west, and the south is connected to the north, which is the Chu land in the old times, and the soldiers must fight for it since ancient times, but there are Dabie Mountains in the east of Hubei Province, Wushan Mountain and Daba Mountain in the west of Hubei Province, and Qinling Mountains in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Wang Yan gestured with his hand on the map, and every time he said a little, the officials around him nodded.

"Inspector He, look at the situation in Hubei, where do you think the threat in Hubei comes from?" Wang Yan stopped, looked up at He Tengjiao and said.

He Tengjiao was slightly stunned, and also pointed to the map, "In addition to the south, the other three aspects are possible." ”

Wang Yan nodded, and then continued: "Let's talk about the west first, Zhang Xianzhong and Haoge fought fiercely in Hanzhong, if Zhang Xianzhong wins, He Inspector will maintain a tacit understanding with Daxi, and instigate Zhang Xianzhong to continue to march into Guanzhong, if Zhang Xianzhong is defeated, the Qing army occupies Hanzhong, He Inspector does not need to panic, just send 10,000 horses to garrison the ancient road on the Yong, hold the danger, the Qing soldiers want to enter Hubei from Hanzhong, unless they cross the mountains, so the west road is worry-free. ”

"Thief Zhang is the enemy of our court, can he be at peace with us and listen to the words of this official?"

"For example, today, the Qing is strong and the Han is weak, Zhang Xianzhong understands his situation, and His Majesty also believes in the policy of Liankou to resist the Qing, plus the tacit understanding between me and Zhang Xianzhong in the land of Hanzhong before, as long as Inspector He does not attack Zhang Xianzhong, the Great Western Army will not make enemies on both sides, of course, the necessary vigilance is still necessary, so Inspector He must strictly guard against Shang Yong and build a fortress in a dangerous place."

He Tengjiao heard the words, nodded slightly, and recognized Wang Yan's words, Wang Yan immediately continued: "Speaking of the north, if the Qing soldiers want to go south, they can only take the route that Cao Cao took to Jingzhou, from between the mountains, take Nanyang, and go south through Xinye. ”

"I know this, this time Azig is the road to take, I will manage Xiangfan with my heart, increase the height and thickness of the city, and then according to the strategy discussed before, move the people north of the Han River, so that the Qing army can not obtain grain and grass~"

This strategy is equivalent to giving up hundreds of miles of land, but at the same time, it also makes it impossible for the Qing soldiers to collect grain on the spot, but to send it from Henan by mountain road, which undoubtedly accelerates the consumption of grain and grass for the Qing soldiers.

Wang Yan nodded and said: "Hao Shaoqi and Ma Jinzhong are both more capable of fighting, and they are two strong generals, with them stationed in the second city of Xiangfan, the north road is also worry-free." ”

"Let's talk about the last side, the threat to the east comes from Jiangnan, and now the Yangtze River is a moat, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty shares it with me, but Wuchang is upstream, and the Qing army is downstream, so there are still some advantages. I think that the key to Supervising He's defense of Wuchang is to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, vigorously build warships, and develop the sailors. When the Qing troops arrived, the fortified city used artillery, not fighting with the waves, and the sailors attacked and disturbed along the waterway, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from Hunan. ”

Wang Yan paused, and then said: "In addition, if I can successfully recover all Jiangxi this time, then the superintendent will not have to face the threat of the Qing army in Jiangnan alone, and the situation of my Ming Dynasty against the Qing court will also improve." As long as you stick to the three sides and restore the people's livelihood, it is not difficult to defend the land of Hubei~"

After hearing this, He Tengjiao felt a little confident in his heart, immediately laughed, and asked his subordinates to bring a bowl of wine for Wang Yan to drink, and then led the officials to bid farewell to Wang Yan.

Distilled liquor was already available in the Ming Dynasty, but the government's attitude towards winemaking was generally restricted or even banned, and relatively speaking, literati and scholars and southerners did not like to drink distilled liquor.

Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, that bucket of wine is low-alcohol wine, and no one can drink a bucket of distilled liquor for normal people, so Wang Yan did two bowls of wine, which is also low-alcohol wine.

At this time, Wang Yan got on the war horse from Xinkua, took the whip from the guard, and then drew the war horse, and together with dozens of horsemen behind him, left the long pavilion and galloped towards the brigade.
