Chapter 217: Minyue Raiders

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, Gao Zhi can set himself up as the emperor, and his subordinates should also have two brushes, so that they don't even do this, now according to various intelligence, he has more than 100,000 people under his command, and the equipment is much better than that of the rebels of Sanwu, because most of these people are the official soldiers of the original Nan Chen, and after defecting, they became soldiers of my Great Sui, and the emperor did not move these people out of consideration for stabilizing Jiangnan, but this Jiangnan rebellion, these people rebelled again, and now they are well-equipped and well-trained, Especially good at water warfare, not careless. ”

Wang Huaqiang was a little surprised by this: "Dashuai, so the strength of high wisdom is stronger than Gu Ziyuan?" ”

Yang Su said: "Yes, otherwise Gu Ziyuan would not be able to claim to him, even if Gu Ziyuan became the nominal leader of more than 100,000 rebels in the Sanwu area, he would not dare to break away from Gao Zhizhi before Suzhou City was conquered, to put it bluntly, because his strength was not as good as Gao Zhizhi." ”

Wang Huaqiang paused: "Gao Zhizhi is only one of the three rebel leaders who claim to be the emperor, so there are still hundreds of thousands of rebels in Minyue?" ”

Yang Su smiled and shook his head: "The matter of the three emperors was a few months ago, the situation in Minyue has changed a lot in the past few months, the three families have annexed each other, and now the high wisdom and strength are the strongest, with more than 100,000 troops, entrenched in the north and west of Zhejiang, and in the east, with Huiji County as the old nest, called the emperor, and set up hundreds of officials.

Wang Wenjin, who was a little weaker, was entrenched in the area of Wuzhou in the south of Zhejiang, and together with Shen Xiaoche, another emperor in Wenzhou, they occupied this part of southern Zhejiang, with a total of only 30,000 or 40,000 troops. If it weren't for the fact that our army was pressed on the border. I'm afraid that it will soon be swallowed up by high wisdom.

As for Fujian, there. The main thing is that Wang Guoqing, a wealthy family in Quanzhou, has risen in the past few months, conquered Quanzhou, and assassinated Shi Liu Hong, with sixty or seventy thousand people, but most of them are rabble, mostly pirates, and the relationship between this person and the three traitors in Zhejiang is not very good, if you fight. There should be no mutual rescue. ”

After listening carefully to Yang Su's analysis, Wang Huaqiang said: "Yue Guogong should have a strategy to break the enemy a long time ago, so why bother asking the last general?" This battle should be a frontal battle, success or failure is actually a battle on the Qiantang River, although the last general does not know the tactics of the highly intelligent army, but it is nothing more than land and water, the land company camp for dozens of miles, guarding the dangerous places, and the water is full of warships, in case our army assault.

In fact, Gao Zhizhi's plan is to force our army to withdraw on its own initiative. He didn't have much thought about the land of Sanwu, and just wanted to cut off the dominant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been afraid of people coming to his aid for so long, his titular subordinate Gu Ziyuan. Therefore, holding the front line of the Qiantang River, neither fighting a decisive battle with our army, nor showing weakness, is almost his only choice, because after all, our army is from the north, and it is impossible to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and if he drags on for a year and a half, he will always have to withdraw his troops.

And the highly intelligent subordinates are all locals, and they don't care how long it drags on, although he and Wang Wenjin and Shen Xiaoche will annex each other sooner or later, but at least when our army is pressing, those two will not take the opportunity to sneak attack Wang Wenjin's Huiji lair, and they should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Dashuai, the last general has an immature idea, just talk nonsense, and ask the marshal to forgive the last general's sin first. ”

Yang Su smiled: "Wang joins the army, you are a soldier in the army, and you are doing the job of advising and counseling, this is your job, as for the final decision, it is the marshal who is responsible for it, but it doesn't matter if you say it!" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "When Han Xin fought against the water, the situation was somewhat similar to here, but it was not like this across the river, Han Xin's army couldn't afford to drag it out at that time, and it was mostly recruits, so it was necessary to line up against the water, although our army was elite, but it also couldn't afford to drag it out, so the result of the confrontation across the river was actually similar to that of Han Xin back then, they couldn't force the crossing, first, there was a lack of warships, and second, the enemy army also knew that the victory or defeat was in this battle, and they would fight to the death, and the outcome was unpredictable."

The best tactics should be the last time our army smuggled across the Yangtze River, the kind of surprise attack on Jiankang, send a general to lead more than 10,000 elites, smuggled from the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, all the attention of the enemy army is in front of our army, the rear defense must not be strict, when the time comes, our army will attack and occupy its rear camp, set up a fence to hold on, occupy a high place and danger, the enemy army will advance and retreat, the military heart will float, and then the commander will wave the army and slam it, and the two sides will cooperate to win a complete victory! ”

Yang Su looked at Wang Huaqiang and said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army, how did you know the terrain around the Qiantang River?" ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "After coming to the south this time, the last general found a lot of maps of Nanchen to see, especially the maps of Wuyue, and he already knows the topography of Nanchen's mountains and rivers, and the dangerous passes. Although the last general did not know the situation of Gao Zhizhi and others in Zhejiang in the past few months, it was expected that they only wanted to divide the territory, and they did not have the pride and ambition to fight for the world out of Fujian and Vietnam, so they chose to confront our army on the Qiantang River in an attempt to grind back our army, which was the only choice.

Therefore, the last general also checked the hydrological map of the Qiantang River, this river separates the land of Wuyue, hundreds of miles long, the enemy army can not fortify everywhere, which gives us thousands of iron cavalry to smuggle the space, once ashore, with cavalry raid the enemy's rear camp, and then seize the favorable terrain of the mountains on both sides of the Grand Canyon in western Zhejiang, the enemy army is 100,000 elite, and it is difficult to overcome. ”

Yang Su raised his head, his eyes sparkling: "What if Wang Wenjin and Shen Xiaoche come to help?" As you said earlier, they won't sit idly by. ”

Wang Huaqiang said confidently: "The area around the West Zhejiang Canyon is thousands of miles away from Wenzhou and Wuzhou in southern Zhejiang, and when these two people know that Gao Zhizhi's backyard is on fire, they are afraid that Gao Zhizhi has been wiped out." They didn't have time to save it. However, Dashuai, when it comes to these two people, they must also prevent them from escaping too fast, and directly abandon Wenzhou and Wuzhou, and go to meet Wang Guoqing of Quanzhou.

You just said, Wang Guoqing is a pirate background, a lot of sea ships, when the Eastern Jin Dynasty Sun En's Heavenly Master Dao uprising, but also in the Minyue and Sanwu area, was defeated by the famous general Liu Yu and fled into the sea, because Liu Yu led the Beifu army at that time did not have sea ships, can not pursue, so let this gang of thieves go to the sea, has fled from Quanzhou to Guangzhou landing, taking advantage of the later Liu Yu to raise troops and usurp the Eastern Jin Dynasty throne of the power of the war Huan Xuan, seize Guangzhou, become the henchman of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even the famous general Liu Yu, They were almost defeated by these demons.

There is a lesson from the past, so our army can not defeat the high wisdom, the Grand Canyon in western Zhejiang is not the only road to the south, that is, the high wisdom army, even if it collapses, it can also escape from the path, so our army still has to rush time, the marshal can go from the sea, surprise attack Wenzhou, and send the capable general to divide the troops to attack Wuzhou from the land, can not give the enemy a chance to breathe, so that they have the opportunity to flee south.

As for that Wang Guoqing, who was originally a wealthy family in Quanzhou and was born as a pirate, the general thought that it was not appropriate to force him too hard, otherwise he would be in trouble if he fled into the sea, and there were many islands along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the residents were familiar with the sea routes.

Gao Zhizhi, Wang Wenjin, and Shen Xiaoche, the three rebellious ministers and thieves who proclaimed themselves emperors, must be exterminated, but Wang Guoqing did not take this step, and there is still the possibility of fighting for him.

The last general thought that if Gao Zhizhi and the three of them ran to Wang Guoqing, they might as well send someone to send a letter to Wang Guoqing, capture the three thieves, and hand them over to our army to be beheaded, so as to forgive his sins. Presumably, Wang Guoqing will spare no effort to save his life, so that Minyue will be pacified. ”

Yang Su quietly listened to Wang Huaqiang's words, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Wang joined the army, Gao Servant Shot has long said that you have Wen Taowu strategy, and you are a general, it seems that this Shuai let you just be a spy in the previous stage, which is a pity, if you let you lead the troops to fight, it may be better." It's just a pity that your official position is too low, and you are forcibly made a general, but I am afraid that the generals will not accept it, but this time you can rest assured that after you arrive in Lingnan, you will have the opportunity to make contributions. ”

When Wang Huaqiang heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but change his face when he had always been calm: "Handsome? Why do you want to go to Lingnan at the end? ”

Yang Su sighed: "Because this time Gao Servant Shot is not here to ask for the opinion of this commander, but directly named and asked you to go, and the commander of the crusading army who went to Lingnan was none other than your friend Pei Shiju." (To be continued......)
