Ezhou is also the Wuhan of later generations.

At this moment, it is already a gathering of armies.

Liu Guangguo, who had suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Jiangning Mansion earlier, was appointed as the commander of the army. It's a natural thing to do.

Liu Guangguo is Liu Yanqing's eldest son, Liu Yanqing is a major general of the Western Army, and his third brother Liu Guangshi sacrificed his life for the country. What's more, others have also made a lot of contributions in a series of conquests and battles.

But Liu Guangguo was silent for a while after all, and he just took the opportunity to recuperate. The person is in Jiangzhou, and it is natural to come back at this moment, supervise the troops in Ezhou, and fight against the Liangshan army in Jiangbei.

Liu Guangguo's generals Han Powu and Li Qiong are still under his command, and at the same time, there are brave generals Wang De and Xie Yuan who were transferred from the Fengfeng Army.

Han Powu won't say more, Han Shizhong. Li Qiong is not famous, but he is also a general in the early Southern Song Dynasty and the second person in Liu Guangshi's army. In the seventh year of Shaoxing, due to the policy of the prime minister Zhang Jun to recover the military power, he killed the prison officer Lu Zhi and others, led the whole army of more than 40,000 people, and coerced more than 100,000 people to surrender to the puppet Qi Liu Yu, which is known as the "Huaixi Mutiny" in history. not only gave the Southern Song Dynasty a heavy blow, but also the key to Zhang Jun's resignation. It is worth mentioning that Li Qiong is also a native of Zhangde Mansion, that is, Yue Fei and Zhang Qing's fellow villagers, and the latter has produced many characters during this time period.

Wang De, commonly known as Wang Yasha, is the first fierce general under Liu Guangshi, who fights bravely and kills people like hemp. When Li Qiong's army mutinied, he led 8,000 troops to retreat south and came under Zhang Jun's command.

Xie Yuan, the first general under Han Shizhong, has excellent archery skills and amazing martial arts. You can drag the bullock upside down, try to ride a horse to gallop through the thief formation, and go back and forth like flying.

When conquest of the Tian Hu army, once he led fifty cavalry guerrillas, Tian Hu army thousands of four sides gathered, Xie Yuan threw himself into battle, left and right falcons attacked, shouted a fierce battle, the sound vibrated the sword armor, and the people were afraid to flee away.

Therefore, today's Liu Guangguo Department is really strong for a while.

It's just that Liu Guangguo, who was strong and strong, did not cross the Yangtze River for the first time. There is a market for a 'voice' in the military - they only need to protect Ezhou. If Xiangyang City is not down, the Liangshan Army has taken the Hanyang Army, so how can there be a reason to stay for a long time?

There is truth to this, but it is discouraged to listen to it.

Although the current situation is pressing, they said that they would only face a partial division of the Liangshan Army. And they are not the forbidden army of the imperial camp, but the western army, the western army is the main force, and the local soldiers are sent by Liu Guangguo.

Judging from the information obtained so far, although the Liangshan Army has captured Xiaogan and Hanchuan, it has not shown signs of further attacking the Hanyang Army. "The last general thought that this was not a pretending obstacle for the Liangshan thieves, but that his army had gained momentum and just wanted stability." Because this is a secondary battlefield, to this point, the Song army reinforcements do not cross the river, and the Liangshan army there has no opponent, let alone a threat.

Isn't it the little men and horses of the Hanyang Army who still dare to take the initiative to find trouble with the Liangshan Army? This is obviously impossible.

The current Anju-Hanyang area is a mountain forest where only one white-fronted tiger remains, and all other fierce beasts have been eradicated. The Liangshan army would certainly not be blind to the fact that the gentry and wealthy families of the Hanyang army had fled across the Yangtze River, and there was no oil and water in this place, so why take it?

It's better to stay and be a buffer.

But if the Song army crossed the Yangtze River north and entered the Hanyang military city, it would make the Liangshan army feel threatened. It is one tiger that invades the territory of the other tiger, and the two tigers fight each other, and they will inevitably be separated from each other.

"Dare to think twice!" When Li Qiong's words came, the generals in the tent sank one after another.

He is a student of government school, and he was born as a scholar. It's just that he only likes horseback riding and fencing, and he has practiced a good martial arts. When the place was restless, he joined the army with anger, fought fiercely for a long time, and is now the first person in front of Liu Guangguo, which is not unreasonable.

Han Powu and Wang De all had different colors on their faces. Both of them are brave generals, and they have both been deflated at the hands of Liang Shanjun. This time, I have already held back enough strength to fight with the Liangshan army!

No one in the world knows that the elite of the Liangshan Army is its regular soldiers. The garrison army, which is becoming more and more numerous, is far inferior in terms of treatment and combat effectiveness.

In the past few days, there have been countless gossip in the military army, and Li Qiong's tone of not entering Jiangbei has been heard countless times, but no one has ever been able to analyze him so thoroughly.

There is still a little leeway for Li Qiong to be fit, the war is unknown whether the outcome is known, who dares to guarantee that the army will be able to defeat the Liang bandits after crossing the river and going north? No one dared.

Then it is necessary to consider the consequences of failure.

Will the remnants of the defeated army be able to hold the Hanyang military fortress at that time?

At that time, will the Liangshan thieves be happy to see the "hunting" and give birth to the act of crossing the river? The thief army crossed the Yangtze River, and the city of Ezhou was empty and bound to fall. At that point, things will be big. I don't know if it will affect the waterway of the Yangtze River.

It must be known that the more than 100,000 troops of the Western Army rely on this Yangtze River to eat horses and chew.

What's more, if Ezhou is empty, isn't Jiangzhou empty? This is the place where the army's food, grass and military supplies are stored.

Once the Liangshan army crossed the Yangtze River, its impact was undoubtedly a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty. Fortunately, there are many rivers confluence, and the waterways are vertical and horizontal, which is on the defensive, and not conducive to the attack.

"The last general will not think so." Xie Yuan, who was handsome in appearance, was the first to object. It attracted everyone's attention.

No one would underestimate him. This Xie Yuansheng's thick eyebrows and handsome eyes are handsome, with a long figure and a scorching look. But he was born brave, and in addition to being blessed, Wang De couldn't beat him.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan sat down and explained in detail: "The Liangshan thieves marched into the Central Plains, from Tokyo to Xiangyang, nearly thousands of miles away, and their edge was unstoppable!" However, this army is not the army of Liangshan thieves, and the land thieves have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and now they are only one of the five fingers. The army of one finger is already like this, the confrontation in Xiangyang, the forbidden army in the imperial camp are not moving, and the place opposite our army is only the partial division of the land thief. If you are so afraid, how can you do it when you are in a-for-tat confrontation in the future? It is the morale of our army. "At present, there are tens of thousands of Liangshan troops on the other side of Xiangyang City, and this road of military horses is known as 100,000 people, and the morale is flourishing, and the Song army in Xiangyang City obviously does not dare to fight with it. It would be a shame to blindly defend the Yangtze River, and it would be a great shame to defend the Yangtze River on the sub-battlefield.

"What does the emperor in Gangneung City think? What do the courtiers think? Xie Yuan's last sentence mentioned Jiangling. Li Qiong's words are all from a military point of view, and the same is true of Xie Yuan's previous remarks, but this last sentence only says that Liu Guangguo has a stain on his back, if it is cowardice again, how will Jiangling City look at it?

When the opinions of the two sides conflict, then either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Li Qiong and Xie Yuan looked at each other, and Wang De felt that he could see countless swords and swords from them.

But that's the way it is. Li Qiong's words made everyone have the intention of retreating, and Wang De, who was as brave as Wang De, also felt that he had not thought well before; Xie Yuan's words made everyone muster up their fighting spirit.

People fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense. It is not uncommon for the army to lose battles, but it is a shame to be pressed to the point that it is shameful.

And Liu Guangguo thinks more, such as he must make meritorious service and wash away his shame, otherwise the earlier setback can stop him at a critical moment.

In this way, the final result is a synthesis, the Song army crossed the river, but did not take the initiative to fight with the Liangshan army of Hanchuan Xiaogan, but only defended the Hanyang army.

This is a surefire solution. With the strength of the Liangshan army on the opposite side, it is impossible to capture Hanyang City, where the Song army is stationed on the south bank.

As soon as the Song army in Ezhou moved, the news was immediately reported to Jiangling. The distance between the Hanyang army and Gangneung is less than 400 miles,

From the map, Jiangling to Yuezhou, Yuezhou to Ezhou, along the Yangtze River to take a straight line, this is almost a straight angle triangle.

The farthest from Jiangling to Ezhou is the string in the right angle; Jiangling to Yuezhou, Yuezhou to Ezhou, is the Pythagorean theorem and the Pythagorean theorem. It is also a geographical miracle, the three most important towns in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River have such a strange marriage.

At this time, Gangneung City was still as chaotic as when the Song family had just moved in. It seemed like months were gone.

Every day, Ding Zhuang's soldiers bravely entered the city, and although they were poorly armed, and they didn't even see many people in armor, they still arrived in a steady stream.

But every day, there are still relatives and noble families, along the Yangtze River, going upward, in an endless stream.

The people in Gangneung City were also panicked and panicked. On the market, there is a shortage of various items, and prices are rising again and again.

Zhao Song learned this very quickly. Lu Qian attaches great importance to cracking down on speculation and reversal of strange goods. Protective prices have been set for grain, cloth, salt, sugar, and other popular goods, and those who dare to exceed them will be severely punished.

Zhao Song also did the same, yes, he could also control the prices in Jiangling City. They also issued their own newspapers, which were nominated for three days in a row, and those who dared to raise prices were killed!

The palace was also a mess, and Emperor Daojun heard the battle report at the beginning. did not convene the minister to discuss countermeasures, but asked Zheng Juzhong, Cai Jing and other cadres to discuss the results, and then he made a decision. At the same time, Lin Lingsu and other Taoists in the palace were preferentially treated, bathing and burning incense from time to time, praying to God to bless the Emperor and Song.

It just seems so incredible. But that's just the way it is.

Since Huang Liang's dream that day, Zhao Ji has had infinite expectations in his heart, after all, the dream is too realistic. It really makes people think that that is the reality, at least Zhao Ji has an idea in his heart. Because he can remember every bit of it.

It's just that such a 'sweet dream' can be met but not sought, until he moved to Gangneung, and he didn't meet it unexpectedly. However, Guo Zhongxun and Yao Pingzhong still made their fortunes.

The former was promoted from the ordinary deputy commander of the imperial camp to the deputy envoy of the imperial camp, that is, Liang Fangping's deputy, although Liang Fangping was a eunuch. The latter was promoted to the rank of commander of the imperial camp. Counting the reused Yao Gu, the father and son of the Yao family have completely walked out of the trough.

When the news reached Lu Qian's ears, it made him think that Zhao Ji was deliberately dividing the Western Army? Although the latter is a collective, there are many individuals, and there are not many generals. If you bring out a few to fight in the ring, it is not a good idea.

Therefore, after Yao Pingzhong's career, Liu Qi, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were promoted to the imperial commanders. When the news came again, he thought that was what it was.

Behind these individuals are all heavyweight Western Army generals.

At present, Guo Zhongxun is taking the elite of the generals' headquarters as the backbone, selecting the brave and strong soldiers of the various righteous armies, and forming a new army.

He didn't care. This can only be said that Lu Qian was just a novice in his previous life, and he didn't have much understanding of the end of the Song Dynasty, and he didn't even know who Guo Zhongxun was. I don't know that these people are all Zhao and Song heroes who pacified the Fangla Rebellion in the official history.

But his bottle was dissatisfied with the historical level of leveling, which made him quite impressed by Yao Pingzhong, Liu Qi, Miao Fu, and Liu Zhengyan.

The first two are people who have already dealt with each other in this time and space, and Yao Pingzhong and his father are still squatting in Xiangyang City. The latter two were the initiators of the famous Miao Liu mutiny in official history. Many of the ministers and eunuchs who killed Zhao Jiumei's favor took the side of the Qing monarch and forced Zhao Gou to cede the throne to the three-year-old crown prince Zhao Yang.

The mutiny, of course, ended in failure, but it was a turning point in the struggle against Jin in the Southern Song Dynasty. Miao and Liu dealt a heavy blow to the capitulation faction forces that supported Zhao Jiumei's southward escape. It's a clear indication of a certain attitude!

prompted Jiumei to start rectifying and formulating some necessary systems and measures, but it was undoubtedly a major factor in Zhao Jiumei's eventual seizure of military power and compromise with the Jin people for peace.
