Chapter 188: Death!
In the mansion of the chief soldier of the water division in Asan Town, Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli sat respectfully on the chairs, looking at He Lin and the counselor minister Yongbao in front of them. Just two days after arriving in Asan Town, Liang Pengfei was still in charge of his subordinates, and was called here by a warrant from He Lin, but when he entered the General Soldier's Mansion, he only saw He Lin, Yongbao and Wang Shouli, and there were no other generals, which couldn't help but make him curious.
He Lin's finger was on the map. "At the end of last month, Nguyen Van Nguyen sent an envoy to Nam Nguyen Nguyen to meet Nguyen Phuc Anh to beg the two families to negotiate peace and strike the army, Nguyen Phuc Anh beheaded his envoy and swung forward again, the south of Duo Lak Phu Province had fallen into the hands of Nam Nguyen, and the battle of Nam Ya Bo Le Mountain, Nguyen Van Yue's general Nguyen Binh was killed in battle, and General Nguyen led his troops to surrender. The remnants have retreated to Benlie, the important town of Khanh Hoa Province is now under the attack of land and water, it is already in danger, Nguyen Van Hue took Nguyen Van Yue to transfer troops to the south, has quietly sent troops south, Gia Lai Province General Le Van Chang Kaecheng led the troops to surrender. ”
"And under the city of Ben Ya Su on the border of Jia Lai Province and Duo Rak Province, Nam Nguyen's forward and the Hui army who had already won the city of Phun Ya Su fought a big battle, although Nam Nguyen had sharp firearms, but the Hui army took the city first, and defended it according to the benefits of the city, three days later, Nam Nguyen left nearly 5,000 corpses and had to retreat to Buon Ma Thuot to rest......
"The two sides competed in Benyasu City and the ancient capital of Nau City, and there was no winner or loser for more than a month, just ten days ago, Ruan Wenhui and Ruan Phuc Ying had heard that the army of our Celestial Empire was coming, and they had already agreed to stop fighting and form allies to help each other, which was the most headache for Ben Shuai." He Lin's hand rubbed his head, with a distressed expression.
Liang Pengfei pouted secretly, who made you too handsome and handsome, it came too fast, otherwise, at least you can let the two ruans pinch a few more battles, and then they will lose both.
"The two Nguyen in the north and south have been fighting for more than a month, each losing more than 10,000 men and horses, and now although they are allies, they have gathered heavy troops on the front line of Gia Lai Province to guard against each other."
"And Nguyen Van Ngak is now only in the southeast corner of Ka Lai Province, the northeast of Da Rak Province, and the two provinces of Khanh Hoa and Phu Yen. Although he still had 50,000 troops, in fact, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers who could fight, and one of Nguyen Van Yue's 20,000 sailors was cowered in Cam Ranh Bay to protect Cam Ranh, which was in danger, and most of them remained in Sui Hoa to prevent a surprise attack by Nguyen Van Hue or Nam Nguyen's sailors. ”
After saying this, Na Yongbao stood up and smiled at Liang Pengfei and Wang Shouli: "My Great Qing Kingdom has now transferred a total of 20,000 soldiers from Guizhou and Liangguang to prepare to attack Ruan Wenhui by land. ”
"However, Nanruan's strength is not damaged now, if I attack from the north to the south. Nguyen Van Hue will inevitably fight to the death with all his might, and then South Nguyen will definitely take advantage of the situation to take Thanh Hoa and Phu An, take Nguyen Van Ngak, and expand to the north. When our army pacifies Nguyen Van Hue, then Nam Nguyen will become a difficult bone to gnaw in front of us. ”
--------------------
Hearing the analysis of the two, Liang Pengfei's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he also knew this, but what he didn't understand was why He Lin and Yongbao summoned themselves and Wang Shouli here in such a tone.
Just because he saw his husband fight with Nabadeh's personal soldier leader, he regarded himself as a confidant? Liang Pengfei pursed his lips, this possible surname is pure, but he really can't figure out the idea of He Lin and Yongbao.
He Lin took a sip of tea, and saw Liang Pengfei frowning, as if he was thinking about something, and couldn't help but slightly bend the corners of his mouth: "Before, Ruan Wenyue asked me for help from the Qing Dynasty, and was willing to change his past wrongs, bow his head to courtiers, and welcome the Li clan back to the country." The emperor has already agreed to his request, so he must ensure that he can pacify the Xishan Ruan clan, but also not let Nan Ruan have the opportunity to grow stronger and compete with the court. This is the difficulty of Ben Shuai and Yongda. ”
Hearing this, Liang Pengfei blinked his eyes, and already understood what He Lin and Yongbao meant: "Two adults, do you want my Humen Town Water Master to go to Ruan Wenyue's aid, at least, during the period of time when the Xishan Dynasty was pacified by my Qing Dynasty, keep Ruan Wenyue and his territory, so that Nan Ruan can't encroach on the growth power to the north?" ”
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean, I went to the water division of a town in Humen, because Mr. Wang recommended it, and Lord He also hopes to let you know the meaning of our soldiers, so I let you come here." Yongbao looked at Liang Pengfei and said in a deep voice.
Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows, like two flying war knives, sharp and pressing, but he didn't speak, just waited for Na Yongbao to say the reason. The corner of his eye swept to Wang Shouli, and Wang Shouli gave Liang Pengfei a helpless look, which meant that the decision made by the two coaches had nothing to do with him.
Liang Pengfei also knew that Wang Shouli was not such a crazy lord, he was a cautious person and would never take the initiative to ask for risks.
"The Guangdong Navy Division fought a battle against the Yang, and the strength was greatly damaged, and if our army wants to be safe in the south, it must be guarded against Ruan Van Hue and Ruan Phuc Ying's sailors, Ruan Van Huy's sailors are about 30,000, but most of them are small boats and fast boats, although the firepower is insufficient compared to my Da Qing Shui Division, but the 30,000 people must not be guarded against, and besides, there is also the Nan Ruan Navy Division, Zheng Lianchang is a giant in the sea. Therefore, Ben Shuai has ordered the Fujian Navy Division to be transferred here to guard the border and coastal defense with our Guangzhou Navy Division......"
In a word, He Lin was worried about the combat effectiveness of the naval division, so he drew troops everywhere to transfer generals, at least during the period of attacking Annan, let the coastal areas of Guangdong be harassed by the Annan naval division, otherwise, let the naval division of Annan run to the territory of the Qing Dynasty and set fire to fight the autumn wind or something, and the face of the Qing Dynasty would really be lost.
However, Ruan Wenyue had to be saved, and there were still a lot of troops under Ruan Wenyue, at least on land, if Ruan Wenhui was attracted by the Qing Dynasty, the pressure on his north would definitely be relieved, and he could liberate a group of elite soldiers, turn his head and continue to compete with Lu Fuying.
Originally, Nguyen Van Nguyen was the most powerful among the heroes of Annam, the sailors were the most powerful, with 30,000 sailors, strong ships and guns, and had attacked Da Nang (Tuao Nang Port), the base camp of Nguyen Van Huy's sailors, several times, and even had the idea of directly attacking Phu Xuan (Hue), the capital where Nguyen Van Hue was stationed.
However, he didn't expect that Ruan Wenyue's sailors would be beaten and fled by Nguyen's sailors in the south of Hamjin, and more than half of the main force suffered casualties. Then Zheng Lianchang did not let go of Ruan Wenyue's sailor at all, and chased and beat hard. Ruan Wenyue's sailors are now in dire straits, leaving only a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, relying on the complete port firepower of Cam Ranh Bay to survive, and his capital Suihe urgently pulled a group of fishermen to fill the number, so he barely scraped together 10,000 sailors to guard Yusui and the surrounding sea, in case Zheng Lianchang came to poke his lair again.
"We need your Humen sailor to represent the court and go to appease Ruan Wenyue, let him know that I am Qing Dynasty, standing behind him, so that he can have a lot of confidence when he fights against Na Nan Ruan, so that Na Ruan Wenyue will stand in a Jedi and be defeated early under the embattlement, which will ruin our major affairs." Yongbao's words made Liang Pengfei's heart skip a beat.
--------------------
"What do you mean, my Humen sailor alone went to aid Ruan Wenyue?" Liang Pengfei was a little uncertain. "Help Nguyen Van Ngak hold the front line of Suihe?"
"It's like putting yourself in a dead place." Liang Pengfei said secretly in his heart.
"That's exactly what it means." He Lin nodded, looked at Wang Shouli and Liang Pengfei, and tapped his fingers lightly on the map again. "Your trip is naturally to go to Nguyen Van Yue's capital city of Sui Hoa, to help Ruan Van Yue's sailors, no matter what, you must hold the line of Sui Hoa and leave a thorn under the South Nguyen and the North Nguyen."
“…… In short, at all costs, until our army fails to move south to capture Fuchun, we must hold Suihe. Otherwise, military justice is engaged. He Lin said this solemnly, and looked at Wang Shouli and Liang Pengfei with a blank look.
Wang Shouli's face turned slightly pale: "My lord, with more than 5,000 people in Humen Town, it is not difficult to help Ruan Wenyue hold Suihe for a period of time, but after a long time, the casualties of the soldiers, the replenishment of ammunition, and the loss of ordnance ......"
"One month, Ben Shuai only needs you to give me a month to resist, a month later, 10,000 horses from the two towns of Fujian Navy Division, will rush to Suihe, to meet you, as long as you can hold this month, pacify the battle of Annam, Ben Shuai Jier and other first achievements." He Lin Chong Liang Wang and the two stretched out a finger.
Liang Pengfei's heart crackled, Humen Town originally only had four battalions, after he was promoted to a general, Humen Town became five battalions, although he only had two battalions of men and horses on the surface, but in fact there were nearly 5,000 people in secret, but this time with the sailor division, Liang Pengfei did not dare to be too arrogant, so the two battalions of men and horses only brought a total of 3,000 elites.
The remaining three battalions are directly under the jurisdiction of Wang Shouli, although Wang Shouli is also greedy, but it is not too much, and he treats his subordinates very strictly, so the combat effectiveness of the three battalions of sailors is not too bad, five battalions, 6,000 people, it is not too difficult to assist Ruan Wenyue's sailors to garrison the sea areas around Suihe, but a month has made Liang Pengfei a little hesitant.
After a long time, Nan Ruan will inevitably understand the intentions of the Qing court, and at that time, it will not be easy to guard, but don't forget, the news of Liang Pengfei's appearance in Suihe is important to let Zheng Lianchang, who is now in command of Nan Ruan's water division, know, I don't know if that guy will directly pull up people to attack Suihe regardless of it, this is Liang Pengfei's biggest worry, but at the same time, this is also an excellent opportunity for the old Liang family to jump on the historical stage of Annan and Lin frowned slightly, looking at Wang Shouli and Liang Pengfei in front of him, he knows, On the face of these two people, Wang Shouli is the chief soldier, but from their eye contact and the rumors in the past, they may clearly know that the backbone of Humen Town is really this Liang general.
"But it's a great opportunity." After Liang Pengfei straightened out his thoughts, he gave Wang Shouli a look, and the two stood up and clasped their fists together. "The last will go."
