Chapter 33 Jianghuai Du Fuwei
Du Fuwei was originally just a down-and-out thief, but seeing that the world was in chaos, he was not willing to be left behind, and his friend Fu Gongqi raised troops in the Jianghuai area, they were not strong, and most of the army were some market scoundrels and bankrupt farmers who couldn't live a good life, it can be said that they were unclothed and defenseless, but Du Fuwei was lucky, and he escaped several army attacks of the Sui army one after another, and merged the Miao Haichao Department and Zhao Po Formation Department during the period of tossing and turning around in various places, which greatly increased his strength. The number also reached tens of thousands, and the equipment of the army was greatly improved. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, most of the troops in the Jianghuai area were transferred to Shandong and Hebei, and under the influence of Emperor Yang's expedition to Goguryeo and the rebellion of the exiles in Shandong and Hebei, the Jianghuai area appeared relatively empty, and the main army in the Jianghuai area was concentrated in Yangzhou, which was close to the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, and there were almost no troops in the Huai'an area in the north, so Du Fuwei quickly gained a firm foothold here.
But at this time, Chen Ling, the general of the Sui army stationed in Yangzhou, had already marched north with an army of 50,000, and their purpose was naturally no one else, that is, Du Fuwei.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's preference for Yangzhou is well known to the world, so the army stationed in Yangzhou is also the most well-equipped, the most well-trained elite troops, Du Fuwei does not think that the troops in his current hands will be the opponent of the Sui army, so he ran to Langya Pavilion and wanted to ask Langya Pavilion for advice.
Langya Pavilion is already famous all over the world at this time, no one knows it, and because it is too famous, so there is an endless stream of people from all over the world, and countless people come forward to ask every day, wanting to know some things they care about.
Before Emperor Yang of Sui also specially sent an army, ready to send the people of Langya Pavilion to Luoyang, but this small army, after coming out of Luoyang City, was attacked by many righteous troops along the way, and before they arrived in Lujiang County, they were already killed by the righteous army, and Langya Pavilion was naturally unharmed.
When the news reached the ears of Emperor Yang of Sui, he was naturally furious, these news must have been leaked out by the people of Langya Pavilion, but just as he was about to dispatch more troops to find the stubble of Langya Pavilion again, Li Yuan of Taiyuan raised troops, and before he could solve Li Yuan's problem, Li Mi and Zhai Rang and others started an incident in Wagang again, which is not counted, and then the Turks in the north also raised troops to invade the territory, and this series of emergencies made Yang Guang completely have no time to solve the problem of Langya Pavilion. And Langya Pavilion can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe.
Du Fuwei's question was supposed to be filed directly, but Liu Zhi suddenly remembered Yang Guang's disappointing behavior, so he took Du Fuwei's question and looked at it.
Du Fuwei came this time to ask how to resist Chen Ling's army in the south, they had already left Yangzhou at this time and went north to Jianghuai, and they would soon arrive at Du Fuwei's territory, the Jianghuai area did not suffer from the impact of locust plagues and droughts, although the conscription was very heavy, but the people did not flee on a large scale, so it can be said that it is currently a treasure land in the world second only to the south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that if Chen Ling's army kills him, and Du Fuwei has no way to be low-grade, it will be very bad, I'm afraid that even if he doesn't want to leave Jianghuai, he will be driven away by the Sui army.
Liu Zhi didn't think about it, and wrote down four words: Southeast Mutual Insurance!
The attendant was very strange, just now Liu Zhi said that he didn't want to deal with Du Fuwei's matter, why did he change his position at this time, and help him come up with ideas?
The attendant put this small note in a bamboo tube and handed it to Du Fuwei, who opened it and frowned slightly, not quite understanding what this southeast mutual insurance meant.
After thinking for a while, Du Fuwei showed an expression of sudden realization, isn't Xiao Miao, a descendant of Liang Chao, causing an incident in the southwest direction? If an alliance is formed with him, wouldn't this be able to threaten the Dao Sui army from the flank, and if Xiao Miao's army can threaten the Sui army in the direction of Daojiangxia or Wuchang, then the Sui army will inevitably move troops to the east to protect their upstream waterways, otherwise the Liang army, which has taken the lead, is very likely to go down the river and attack the Yellow Dragon.
Sure enough, Liu Zhi's strategy to Du Fuwei was very effective, Xiao Miao's army had taken the Bashu land at this time, and after occupying the empty Bashu, he was equivalent to getting a rich granary and an inexhaustible supply of troops, so Xiao Miao's ambition was ambitious, and he wanted to do something big, he was ready to send troops to Jianghan, which has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and there were Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in ancient times. All this shows how much help the occupation of the Jianghan area will bring to the military.
Chen Ling with an army of 50,000 people, originally in the Jianghuai area has been three battles and three victories, more than half of Du Fuwei's army was killed and wounded, and the losses were heavy, but when he was about to wipe out Du Fuwei's army, a paper order from the imperial court came, Chen Ling took the order and looked, his face was suddenly not very good, Xiao Miao's army had occupied Anlu County on the Han River, and was about to drink the Yangtze River, and the troops were in Jiangxia.
Although Chen Ling is not a very famous general in the Sui army, his overall view is not bad at all, of course he knows what serious consequences it means if Jiangxia loses, so he is not surprised that the imperial court rushed to rush to his aid, but Chen Ling is unwilling after all, seeing that Du Fuwei is about to be eliminated by him, if he withdraws his troops to the west at this time, wouldn't it give him a big respite.
Chen Ling then led the main army to the west, sent his troops to stay in Yangzhou, and Gongsun Shangzhe led 10,000 troops to continue to attack the remnants of Du Fuwei in the Jianghuai area, while he took the main force to the west to support the defenders of Jianghan.
As soon as Chen Ling left, Du Fuwei's army became active again, and the rebel army, which had been defeated in successive battles and was about to collapse, suddenly became highly moraled, and it seemed that its strength had not suffered any losses, and the number of people was not necessarily much less.
Du Fuwei listened to the advice of Fu Gongyi, sent Zhao Po to lead 20,000 troops, attack Dingyuan, sent Miao Haichao to lead 10,000 troops to attack Shanyang, and he himself led the army to attack Anyi, Anyi and Shanyang are important nodes on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, if they fall into the hands of the righteous army, then the route of grain and grass materials from Jianghuai and Jiangnan to Luoyang will be completely cut off, so the Sui army naturally cannot lose these places, Gongsun Shangzhe then set out from Gaoyou, and did his best to attack Anyi.
