PS:! It's five watches again!!

PS2: Make up for two more, and there are still two more missing.

Is Chapter 983 all true?

After discussing the matter of becoming king, everyone felt that it would be better to handle it after entering Chang'an City. If such a ceremony is held before entering Chang'an City, it seems a little rushed. The current Fang Xie does not urgently need such a name, and it seems more justified to be the king after arriving in Chang'an City.

After the rest in Yihe Town was over, the moment the team marched north, the decisive battle with Gao Kaitai had actually been announced.

Gao Kaitai would never agree to Fang Jie's request, a person who had already tasted all kinds of high places and seen all kinds of high scenery, let him suddenly come down from a high place and be an ordinary person, how could he accept it. What's more, it's not like he doesn't have any chips in his hands.

The bottom line that Gao Kaitai accepted in his heart was to return to the northwest.

However, Fang Xie did not give it to him first.

At the beginning, the generals of the Black Flag Army had discussed before marching into the army, and the best strategy was to force Gao Kaitai back to the northwest, keep troops to attack Chang'an, and wait until the future to fight a decisive battle with Gao Kaitai. But the tide of battle is changing so quickly, and the best of the past is no longer the best.

Fang Jie's plan before entering the army was to force Gao Kaitai's team to the northwest, because Fang Xie always had a hunch that the person named Koktai Meng Ge would take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to come over and stir up the waters. If Gao Kaitai is forced to the northwest, then if Meng Ge really raises troops to invade in the future, Gao Kaitai will be Meng Ge's first roadblock.

But that has changed.

Wang Yiqu is dead, and the once unbreakable appearance of the Gao Wang coalition is now blowing a gust of wind. If you don't take the opportunity to take him down at this time, once Gao Kaitai returns to the northwest, give him time to recover, and then fight him again, and the loss of troops will be multiplied by the current one.

Speaking of logistics and supplies, everyone knows very well what the northwest is now tired and cold. Advancing to the northwest, the problem of grain and grass could not be solved locally. Don't forget that although Wang Yiqu is dead, Wang Yiqu's sailor is still there. It is not so easy to transport grain to the northwest when the expedition to the northwest is carried out.

Fang Xie was already prepared for both hands, if Gao Kaitai was not good at fighting, he would force him to the northwest and leave it for later. If Gao Kaitai's side goes well, Chen Dingnan's team has already driven to the northwest, and Gao Kaitai will be able to be wrapped up at that time.

"Qin River"

Fang Xie stood in front of the sand table and pointed to a river: "This is the first obstacle in front of us. Although the Qin River cannot be compared with the Yangtze River, the river is more than a mile wide. After a while, there will be more rainy days, so cross the Qin River quickly. ”

Dugu Wenxiu nodded and added: "What's more, the confluence of the Qin River and the Yangtze River is too far away from here. If the sailor goes around and comes again, he won't be able to arrive for two months. Therefore, in this battle of crossing the river, we did not have the assistance of a sailor. The sailor must follow the original plan, and Duan Zheng's department will follow the Yishui to the north, ready to meet Chen Dingnan's team to cross the river at any time. Zheng Qiu's department will follow the Yong'an Canal to the north, and Daotai City will converge with us. ”

Xiahou Baichuan frowned, looked at the sand table and said thoughtfully: "If I were Gao Kaitai, I would have placed heavy troops in the Qin River." This is the first trench in Gyeonggi Province, if we easily break through the past, it will be a thousand miles of plains, and Gao Kaitai has no confidence to win in the plain field. ”

"Beware of ......"

Yan Zeng was a newcomer to the Black Flag Army, and it was the time to express himself, so he thought of something and said it immediately, he pointed to the upstream and said: "This is Lingmen Pass, where the flow of the Qin River is the narrowest. I understand Gao Kaitai's temperament, and he has no scruples in order to win. What he was most worried about was that he would send troops to block the river near Lingmen Pass, and when the army crossed the river, he would suddenly dig ......"

"So, we must knock down the spiritual gate first."

After he finished speaking, he replied that he stood in his place.

Fang Xie nodded: "The terrain of Lingmen Pass is very dangerous, and it is not easy to fight. ”

"Subordinates are willing to go"

Yan Zeng immediately hugged his fists.

Fang Xie snorted: "That's fine, you are more familiar with the terrain of Lingmen Pass than others, take your own people, I will let Andrew send some people from the artillery battalion over, after taking Lingmen Pass, send people to inspect the river, and never let Gao Kaitai's people block the river upstream." Therefore, it is difficult to take the Lingmen Pass, and it is even more difficult to hold the Lingmen Pass. ”

"Li Tai"

Fang Xie shouted, and the general Li Tai immediately stood up and hugged his fists: "Please give the lord orders." ”

"Take your headquarters to respond to Yan Zeng, Gao Kaitai will work the Qin River, and Yan Zeng's troops are slightly insufficient. The matter of guarding the spiritual gate is handed over to him, and you will inspect the thirty or fifty miles of waterway from the spiritual gate to the place where the army crosses the river. ”

"Whoa!"

Li Tai clenched his fists in response and retreated.

"Xiahou"

Fang Xie glanced at Xiahou Baichuan: "In the first battle of Qinhe, you are a vanguard general." The brigade is watching you from behind, don't let me down. The danger of this battle is that without the assistance of the sailors, Andrew's artillery battalion can only help you, after all, the range of artillery is not much to the other side. ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Xiahou Baichuan patted his chest: "My subordinates will let Gao Kaitai see how the soldiers of the Black Flag Army fight!" ”

……

……

The Qin River and the Yangtze River are separated by a Jiangbei Road, parallel to the east, and there is no place to meet. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Yongan Canal was built to lead from the Yangtze River to Taicheng in Gyeonggi Province. However, when the Yong'an Canal was built, in order to ensure the shortest distance on the project, the route was quite remote.

Zheng Qiu's sailors had to go north through the Yong'an Canal, and the brigade of Fang Xie was like a long distance. If the water master came from the Yong'an Canal and entered the Qin River, it would take at least two months to follow the team above. There is a section of waterway in the upper reaches of the Qin River that is very narrow and treacherous, and the sailors may not be able to get through.

When Xiahou Baichuan's vanguard army arrived on the south bank of the Qin River, the Gao family army on the opposite side had already set up a position.

"Please check Chen Xiaoru's Xiao Riding School nearby."

Xiahou Baichuan turned around and instructed his soldiers: "Gao Kaitai's men and horses have built a stockade directly opposite us so quickly, and there must be scouts who will follow us along the way, and they have already determined the place where we cross the river." The people of the Xiao Riding School are all masters of tracking and searching, and they are better than the scouts in our army. ”

"Whoa"

His own soldiers agreed, and then turned around and went out to do something.

Xiahou Baichuan raised his clairvoyance and looked at the other side, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"Look at the banner, the surname of the person guarding the Qin River is Zheng."

He put down his clairvoyance and thought about who the generals surnamed Zheng in Gao Kaitai's army were.

"It's Zheng Ziyu"

It was Chen Xiaoru who spoke.

The pro-soldier who had just sent Lu had not gone far from Lu when he ran into Chen Xiaoru coming.

"You don't have to worry about the enemy's scouts, I'll send someone to sweep it when I get back."

Chen Xiaoru stood next to Xiahou Baichuan: "Recently, there is a helper by his side, he has the ability, the light skills are great, and the skills are also great, the most important thing is that he came over and held back his strength to prepare for the performance, this errand will be handed over to him to finish the work soon, and he must have done it very cleanly." ”

Xiahou Baichuan had already seen wine-colored wealth before, and he wanted to laugh as soon as the appearance of that fat man appeared in his mind.

"That guy seems to be a scheming person, don't be robbed by others after your errand in the riding school is the most embarrassing."

He smiled.

Chen Xiaoru stretched his waist and took a deep breath of the slightly fishy moist air by the river: "That's so easy to be robbed, I still have this confidence...... Let's talk about your opponent, this Zheng Ziyu is one of Gao Kaitai's most relied on generals, and he has been with Gao Kaitai for no less than fifteen years. At the beginning, Gao Kaitai accepted him when he was just a general, and he has been taking him with him for so many years. ”

"This person is not obvious on weekdays, and the battle in the northwest is only known...... At the beginning, Gao Kaitai sent him to block Luo Yao's way, and the left defender was beaten by him on the back road. After Gao Kaitai marched into Gyeonggi Province, this Zheng Ziyu was the vanguard general, all the way to the outside of Chang'an, and he didn't use Gao Kaitai to personally command a battle, and his vanguard army was like a bamboo to the outside of Chang'an. ”

"It's an opponent."

Xiahou Baichuan's eyes lit up: "It's fun to fight like this." ”

"Don't be dismissive"

Chen Xiaoru reminded: "Before looking at the enemy, you should see your position clearly, you just reminded me not to be robbed by that fat man of the errand of the Xiao Riding School, how can you not see your own situation." The newcomer Yan Zeng, isn't it the same as the fat man, holding back his strength to perform well. He took the initiative to ask Zhan to go to Lingmen Pass, on the surface, it seems that he will not fight with you for the first merit of crossing the Qin River, but in fact, he still wants to fight a beautiful battle for the lord to see? The Lingmen is not easy to beat, and it is not easy to cross the Qin River at all. I don't believe that in such an important place as Lingmen Pass, Gao Kaitai will not send heavy troops to guard it. ”

"I know the way"

Xiahou Baichuan took a deep breath: "It's true that we, the old people who follow the lord, have the deepest relationship with the lord. But these new guys, all of them have the ability to fuck each other. Damn, if Lao Tzu doesn't fight the battle of Qinhe, he will really be compared. ”

"It's good that you know the way yourself."

Chen Xiaoru smiled: "I can't favor anything in this position, what support will I give you, and give Yan Zeng the same support." I have delayed the lord's business, and I have a hundred heads that are not enough to cut off. ”

"Ha Lu Ha"

Xiahou Dalu smiled: "If I can rely on others to win that surnamed Yan, wouldn't it be a shame?" ”

"But...... You have favorable news. ”

Chen Xiaoru smiled mysteriously: "Regarding your opponent Zheng Ziyu on the other side of the river, take a pot of old wine in exchange, otherwise I won't tell you." ”

"You still fucking say that you won't use power for personal gain?!"

……

……

The north bank of the Qin River

Zheng Ziyu put down his clairvoyance, his face was quite solemn.

"The vanguard general of the Black Flag Army is Xiahou Baichuan, I have heard of this name a long time ago, and he is a difficult opponent. The Liyin City that Yan Zeng was defending was breached by him, and I also understand Yan Zeng's ability. ”

Zheng Ziyu sighed slightly: "The lord gave me 60,000 horses to guard the Qin River, if this battle is not fought well, our situation will not be easy to deal with." ”

His subordinate generals opened their mouths, as if they wanted to say something.

"If there is anything to say directly, what I hate the most is that other people talk and spit out."

Zheng Ziyu gave him a blank look and said.

General Zhang Genbao looked around, then approached Zheng Ziyu and said in a low voice: "General, my subordinates are not worried about the Black Flag Army on the other side, after all, it is a matter of soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, and we have never been afraid of anyone in this kind of head-to-head confrontation." What subordinates are worried about...... Is it the lord who doesn't pick others to guard the Qin River, but the general? Everyone knows that the first battle of the Black Flag Army's attack on Gyeonggi Province must have been very fierce, and this errand was not a good errand. ”

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Ziyu frowned and asked.

"General, haven't you heard that there are a lot of letters from the lord, all of which were given to him by the Black Flag military? It is said that they were all written by the generals of our army to Fang ......"

"I never wrote about it!"

Zheng Ziyu's face changed.

"Subordinates know the way!"

Zhang Genbao stomped his foot anxiously: "The general will definitely not do such a thing...... However, who can guarantee that the letters that Fang Xie sent to the lord are true? ”
