Chapter 197: The first is broken, and then the green forest

Yang Jie said mysteriously, with a little greed on his face.

Now it was Luo Shixin's turn to be surprised and speechless: What is the situation! Is it self-defeating?

The original intention of Luo Shixin and Pingyang was to come to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to have a peek at the general layout of the defense line and have a general understanding of the defense line. Let's see if we can come up with a way to crack it, break the barrier that Fu Gong Yi relied on, and help Datang do his best to pacify Fu Gong Qi.

They got the news that Fu Gongqi crossed the Yangtze River from Liangshan with iron cables, completely blocking the waterway and preventing the powerful naval army of the Tang Dynasty from controlling the Yangtze River moat from top to bottom. At the beginning, under the leadership of Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, Datang conquered Xiao Mill and incorporated Xiao Mill's powerful Jingzhou Naval Army. Although Fu Gong Yi crisscrossed the Jianghuai River and had 50,000 sailors under his command, the small boats and small ships could not be said to be the same. Because he saw through this, Fu Gongyi crossed the Yangtze River with an iron lock and blocked the Yangtze River, which was a wonderful way to restrict the Jingzhou Sailors of the Tang Dynasty.

This will block the Yangtze River, and the boats will naturally not be able to pass Guò, waiting for Luo Shixin to end up being driven back and turning back to Dangtu. In this way, we can explore the riverbank layout of the Yangtze River Port Auxiliary Gong Yi Army, and do not delay the business, so why not.

But now the blocked Yangtze River can be crossed, what is the situation? The words have already been said in the front, and it will be impossible to change the words, if you really go to the south bank of the Yangtze River, it will be a tragedy.

Luo Shixin pretended to be frightened and said, "What? Is there a big risk? Well, I think it's better to forget it! ”

Yang Jie was also dumbfounded, he deliberately said that it was because Luo Shixin's local tyrant atmosphere was affected, and he was deeply moved. Let him make more money, make more money, and scare him away. How's that good? Hurriedly changed his words: "It's not that there is a big risk to pull, it's just very troublesome." Come, let's go and talk. Yang Jie pulled Luo Shixin and came to a corner of the dock, and said mysteriously: "You are from the north, and you don't know much about the situation." Now there is a war, so the Song Emperor, that is, our emperor, ordered the Yangtze River to be blocked. The generation of Huainan and Jiangbei is about to experience a bloody war, and you outsiders are very dangerous here, and you may be arrested as a fine work. ”

Luo Shixin pretended to be frightened. said in a trembling voice: "Then what should I do, I haven't taken a daughter-in-law yet?" I don't want to die! "Although he is dressed as a samurai, his tall and thin appearance really makes people believe that he is a master, especially when he is frightened. It's more like a weak scholar wearing a samurai costume and hanging a weapon as a scene.

"Go to Gangnam!" Yang Jie said softly: "Jiangnan is absolutely safe. The war will definitely not be able to fight Jiangnan. If you want to marry a daughter-in-law alive, you must go to Jiangnan. ”

Seeing that the topic was going back again, so as not to leak it, Luo Shixin patted his chest and said, "Is there a way for the military master to send us to Jiangnan?" My wife's safety comes first, if she can cross the river safely, she will definitely have the benefit of the military master. As he spoke, he stuffed him with a few more tongbao, and he also wanted to open it. I really can't do it, so I can only go deep into Jiangnan first. Investigate the Yangtze River defense line, and quietly see with your own eyes what means this little colonel can send them to Jiangnan.

Yang Jie just wanted to make more money. Half-pushed and half-took the treasure, hid it in the sleeve pocket, tried the weight, estimated the number, and was overjoyed, and faced it with a big Kaizi wronged head, and said in a low voice: "Now the river is full of iron cable hidden piles, and I can't go if I want to." But I have a way to get you to cross the river. ”

"What's the solution?" Luo Shixin asked curiously, and his heart was also full of doubts. Wu Bao's news is true, the Yangtze River is indeed full of iron cables, can Yang Jie take them across the river with flying sky, or simply fool them?

Yang Jie looked left and right, and after confirming that it was safe, he said: "Only I know that every month or two, there will be ships coming from the opposite side." My brother-in-law is in charge of this qiē, and I can arrange for you to cross the river. When he said this, he was already sweating profusely and looking nervous.

Luo Shi was suddenly confident, and he didn't dare to ask more, so as not to startle the snake, and said in surprise: "That's great, as long as the military master can send us to the other side, the reward is definitely not a problem." ”

Yang Jie was a little relieved when he heard the reward, he was just a small colonel, and it was not uncommon for him to be corrupt and take bribes and do some illegal things. But as a middle- and lower-level grassroots official, even if he shares the spoils, he can't share his head, he can only watch others make black money and make extra money, and he is envious to death, and the daughter-in-law at home also messes with him, saying that he is useless, and he can only take death as a small school who eats and waits for death. Let the shape shì be forced, and I also feel that the plan should follow the trend and embark on the road of making black money. For the first time, it is inevitable to be nervous.

"You go back to Dangtu first, when there is an inn in Tu City called Jieshi Inn, which was opened by my uncle, you can stay in the inn for the time being, and when the time comes, I will notify you and send you to Jiangnan!" Yang Jie was afraid of arousing suspicion, and he was reluctant to say more.

Luo Shixin also got what he deserved, quietly swept the layout as far as his eyes could see, left the port, and turned back to Dangtu.

Luo Shixin got into Pingyang's carriage on the way and told Pingyang the news he had found.

Pingyang pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "If you can sail every one or two months, is it a ship that transports grain and grass?" ”

Luo Shixin smiled and nodded: "Although the little colonel didn't dare to say it clearly, I didn't ask in detail." I think that's probably the case. The hidden piles and iron cables were all laid by the auxiliary princesses, and it is not surprising that there was no hidden pile on the waterway for the transport ships to pass. As for the Hengjiang Iron Cable, I estimate that the iron cable installed on the waterway through which the transport ship passes is fastened, which can be disassembled and installed, and on the day of transporting grain and grass, the iron cable can be dismantled to allow the transport ship to pass...... Therefore, the day that the school informed us must be the time when the grain and grass materials arrived, which was an unexpected joy, a pie falling from the sky. Just cut off their grain and grass delivery, and take the granaries in the city in the mind. No matter how rigorous and difficult the defense is, it won't last long if there is no food. ”

Pingyang nodded in admiration and said suddenly: "You noticed that there are many passenger boats on the riverbank." ”

Luo Shixin said: "See, what's the problem?" This Dangtu port was originally one of the important ports leading to the north and south ports of the Yangtze River, and although it has been increased to military use, it is not surprising that some passenger ships are berthed for military purposes. ”

"I think it's a little unusual!" Pingyang said: "It's not strange that there are passenger ships, but there are obviously a lot of passenger ships. On the contrary, there was no one in the ship, and it felt that something was wrong. ”

Luo Shixin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, remembering what the junior colonel said before, and suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "I understand, Fu Gongyi's heart is not small, and he actually has the idea of breaking the Tang Dynasty, which is really not to be underestimated." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Pingyang didn't react for a while.

Luo Shixin said with a smile: "If you are the commander of the three armies, and you can't take the two places for a while, what will you do in the face of Dangtu and Qinglin, who only defend but do not fight?" ”

Pingyang just groaned for a moment, and his heart was suddenly clear.

The use of soldiers needs to be flexible, when Tu and Qinglin defend the danger without fighting, they can change to attack other places and go straight to Danyang, which is a very good choice, but this is the trick of Zhongfu Gongyi.

Pingyang was a little uneasy, "I need to be notified, so as not to fall into the scheme." ”

Luo Shixin laughed: "I don't think there is any need to worry at all, don't forget about it." The one who is qualified to command the three armies is either the King of Qin or Li Xiaogong and Li Jing, with the level of the King of Qin and Li Jing, how can this trick of Fu Gongyi work, we boldly rushed to Dangtu is. ”

**********

That's when it happened!

The Tang Dynasty's eight-hundred-mile urgent edict has been conveyed to Jiangnan!

Li Xiaogong, the governor of Jingzhou, led a large army into Jiujiang, and several generals Li Jing, Li Shiji, Huang Junhan, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Lu Zushang rushed to Jiujiang to join Li Xiaogong.

The first military conference was also held.

Li Xiaogong, the only person in the Tang Dynasty who can be compared with Li Shimin in terms of military merits, is sitting on the desk, without any shelf, and very gently asks the generals in the account what methods they have to break the enemy and what tactics they should use.

Li Xiaogong is not like Li Shimin, his personal military level is inversely proportional to his achievements. He is currently the governor of Jingzhou, during which he vigorously opened the tuntian, created copper smelting, and made Jingzhou's governance prosperous, but his own military level is really limited. Li Yuan is a bit cronyistic, and most of the generals who are really in charge of the Quartet expedition are members of the Li family, but the Li family really can't get any decent talents, except for Li Shimin, a super military commander, Li Shentong is abused, and it is useless to give him any troops. Li Xiaogong wants to be better, small wins and small defeats, he can't win a big victory, but he won't lose a big defeat, and he has been stalemate in Bashu.

However, he has a strength, that is, he knows his ability and is good at giving advice. Therefore, as soon as Li Jing was under the control of Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong immediately became as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, he was extremely violent, and directly overturned Bashu, which had been deadlocked for many years, and kicked Xiao Miao, the king of Jingzhou, by the way.

Now that the army is approaching Jiujiang, Li Xiaogong is like Liu Bei in Romance, as soon as he opens his mouth, he asks about the strategy of breaking the enemy.

Li Jing, Li Shiji, Huang Junhan, Zhang Zhenzhou, and Lu Zushang are all figures with outstanding achievements.

Zhang Zhenzhou took the lead and said: "According to my opinion, simply attack Danyang with superior forces." Let Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengdao stay in Dangtu and Qinglin. ”

Lu Zushang agreed: "Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengdao are both good at guarding famous generals, Your Majesty let us fight quickly, and we should directly attack Danyang and cover the lair of Fu Gongyi, once Danyang is broken, Feng Huiliang and others will naturally surrender without a fight." ”

Li Xiaogong was moved, but instinctively glanced at Li Jing.

Li Jing said quietly: "Although the elite troops of Fu Gongqi are concentrated in the two armies of the water and the army, the army under his own command is also brave soldiers. If we don't even dare to fight Dangtu and Qinglin, why should we take Danyang? Danyang's failure to resist for a while will inevitably cause our army to be tired, but the 50,000-strong army of Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengdao is recuperating and becoming our enemy. To level the auxiliary Gongyi, you must first break the Qinglin of Tu Ci, the two are broken, Danyang is like a turtle in the urn, and it can be caught with one hand. (To be continued......)
