Just when Chao Xiangfang was pondering how to attract the attention of Huaiyou (Wu Ning), Ruan Zhongyu had already made up his mind to use a special way to prove that the Ruan family was worthy of attention.

The way he chose was to get rid of the Chao family, tear up the agreement signed with the various forces of Juyeze, including the Chao family, and directly throw himself into Huaiyou (Wuning).

This idea was supported by his brother, Nguyen Trong Hoa, the eldest of the Nguyen family, who suppressed the opposition of the other members of the family and immediately launched it.

The situation of Yunzhou is more unique, Junoze occupies almost the entire central and southern parts, but it is the lake area, and it is Liangshan that really plays a pivotal role on land.

Here chokes the throat of Juyeze out of the water, to the east and Pinglu County is far opposite, to the northeast to look at Xuchang, to the northwest to Shouzhang, to the southwest to suppress Yuncheng, it can be said that it is a battleground for soldiers.

The five counties of Yunzhou, in addition to Sucheng in the northeast and Juye across the lake area, the other three county seats, plus a Pinglu county town in Yanzhou, are all under the command of Liangshan's soldiers.

Because of this, Liangshan is occupied by the Chao family and the Ruan family, which can be regarded as echoing each other from afar and supervising each other.

Now Pinglu has been occupied by Huaiyou (Wuning), and Xuchang is also in danger, if Liangshan can be dedicated to Huaiyou, Xuchang has no suspense, and Shouzhang can go down without a fight, and even Yuncheng will change color.

This is the gift that the Ruan family can take, and it can't help but make Huaiyou's side tempted.

Qin Han could hardly believe it when he received the news from the Ruan family's envoy.

Indeed, this is a surprise.

As far as he knew, Lu Qiming, the soldier and horse envoy of Wuning's left army, had contacted Chao Dasheng, the number one person in Juyeze, before, hoping that the Chao family would accept Zhao'an and quickly abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but the Chao family's attitude has always been very wavering, sometimes inclined to work, sometimes repeatedly, wanting to wait for the price to sell.

So much so that later, the king was already a little impatient, and ordered the Wuning Left Army to advance as soon as possible and solve the Yunzhou problem to ensure that the next strategy of Huaiyou (Wuning) would not be affected.

According to the current arrangement of the monarch, the strength of the Huaiyou Left Army is undoubtedly the strongest, although the Huai Right Left Army and the Wuning Left Army and the Wuning Right Army have been mixed, and several armies have been incorporated into the newly formed Wuning Left Army and the Wuning Right Army, but the main force of the Huai Right Left Army is still stationed in Xuzhou.

The newly formed Wuning Left Army went to the western front line of Yanzhou and was responsible for recovering Yunzhou, while the newly formed Wuning Right Army entered Yizhou in a big way, preparing for the recovery of Haizhou.

At the beginning, Lu Qiming and Qin Han both thought that if they could persuade Chao Dasheng to agree to recruit an and join the army, it would undoubtedly be a good result, and they both thought that with the shrewdness that Chao Dasheng has shown in recent years, they should be very clear about Huaiyou's current influence and future prospects, as long as Chao Dasheng is not dizzy, it is inevitable to choose Huaiyou.

It's just that he didn't expect Chao Dasheng's attitude to become a little ambiguous in the face of Huaiyou's solicitation, and several negotiations were shelved for various reasons and specific details that were not negotiated.

Jiang Feng doesn't have so much energy to spend on a lake bandit, even if it is the most powerful lake bandit in Juyeze, what he needs to pay attention to is the overall situation, he just needs to make it clear, when Yunzhou must be taken down, as for how to take it down, it doesn't matter, that is what Cui Shang, Wang Miao and Zhang Wanshan need to consider.

For Cui Shang and Wang Miao, it is of course the best to be able to persuade Chao Dasheng to serve Huaiyou, not only to win the entire Yunzhou in one fell swoop, but also to greatly enrich the strength of Huaiyou's naval army, although Huaiyou now has the Shouzhou naval army as the foundation, and has joined the Chaohu water bandits, among the feudal domains, I am afraid that only Tanyue, Zhennan Army and Yueguo's naval army can compete with Huaiyou, even Li Wu and Xiangyang, Jiangling These southern feudal lords' naval forces are already inferior to Huaiyou.

Of course, for Huaiyou, because the land crosses the Jianghuai River and even advances to the front line of the big river, this trend of vertical development also makes Huaiyou (Wuning) have to pay attention to the development of the navy.

At present, under the rule of Huaiyou (Wuning), the two main streams of the river and the Huaishui and their tributaries that penetrate deep into the states, plus the Cao Canal and the Surabaya - Gubian River, have formed an extremely complete, complex and extremely important transportation system within the jurisdiction, plus the Jishui (Dawen water), Baigou, Heze (Heshui), The water transport system has radiated to the entire Huaiyou (Wuning) jurisdictional states, and it can be said that the economic development of Huaiyou (Wuning) is far better than land transportation from the perspective of commercial cargo transportation.

Once Yunzhou is taken, then the northeast corner of Yunzhou will follow the big river and the Weizhou of the Wei Bojun of Heshuo will be far away, and it can be said that Huaiyou (Wuning) suddenly spans the three major river basins of Heshui (Yellow River), Huaishui (Huaihe River), and Jiangshui (Yangtze River).

You must know that in this era, the shipping industry of both Huaishui and river water is quite developed, which is greatly beneficial to the development of commerce and trade in the entire river basin.

Huaishui is not to mention, the amount of water is abundant, there are many Xuze lakes on the north and south banks, and the water volume of the tributaries on the north and south banks, especially on the north bank, is not small, and it goes deep into the states on the north bank, which makes its water transportation conditions extremely superior.

The river water is not simple, at present, the Yongji Canal connects the Sanggan River, Lushui and Juma Water with the river water, and the Shaanzhou River section has undergone continuous dredging and renovation in the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the navigation conditions have also been greatly improved, so the navigation of the entire river basin is also quite developed.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, although Huaiyou (Wuning) focuses on the north to deal with the southward movement of the Hu people, the naval force will still play an extremely important role in the future war, especially in the northern area of Yanyun and Huaibei, although the water transportation conditions are not as good as those of Huainan Wuyue, but it is also very superior.

Because of this, Cui Shang and Wang Miao were still quite looking forward to recovering the water bandit force of Juyeze, especially after learning that the first section of the Jiangkou in the south was closely in collusion with the ant thief Han Baling, and the water bandits in Baishuitang, Baima Lake and Fanliang Lake were in collusion with the ant thief Qin Quan's department, this kind of faint pressure made Huaiyou (Wuning) pay more attention to this force.

But Chao Dasheng's waiting price and selling made Huaiyou (Wu Ning) lose patience, you can offer conditions, but you can't control it indefinitely, Huaiyou (Wu Ning) is not the object of anyone's control.

It's just that this war is not so simple, although it has an absolute advantage on land, but one of the major drawbacks of this step-by-step encroachment strategy is the consumption of time, especially considering that the situation in Yunzhou is so bad, Wang Xu, who has been appointed as the governor of Yunzhou, also hopes to understand the power of the lake bandits as soon as possible, and bring the counties of Yunzhou into the jurisdiction as soon as possible, in order to restore the production and development of Yunzhou as soon as possible.

After verifying the news again and again, Qin Han did not hesitate at all, and directly reported to Lu Qiming, the envoy of soldiers and horses, overnight

This is beyond the scope of his authority and responsibility, according to the previously agreed plan, he is responsible for commanding and coordinating the armies on the front line step by step, and gradually encroaching on the counties of Yunzhou, while Lu Qiming is responsible for sitting in Yanzhou Prefecture to govern the flawed hills.

But if it is too late to wait for Lu Qiming to reply to the letter, as the envoy of the Ruan family said, if he agrees, the Ruan family will launch an attack on the Chao family tonight, hoping that the left army of Wuning will cooperate and completely capture Liangshan.

And Liangshan, Xu Chang doesn't need to say much, he will definitely be directly included, whether he can take advantage of the situation to take Yuncheng depends on the strength of Wuning's left army.

This problem was suddenly placed in front of Qin Han.

What he could mobilize in his hands were five armies, the Third Army of the Wuning Left Army on the southern front, the First Army of the Wuning Left Army on the central line, the Second Army of the Wuning Left Army on the northern front, and the Fourth Army of the Wuning Left Army that responded to the middle line, and the Fifth Army of the Wuning Left Army advancing from Pinglu.

However, it was too late for the second army of the Wuning Left Army on the northern front to move, and it was still north of Suchang, along the border of Jeju and Yunju, and even approached Shoujang.

The First Army is east of Xuchang and is preparing to launch an attack on Xuchang, if it is to be temporarily transferred, the time is slightly urgent, I am afraid that the war here has already been fought, and the Third Army may not be able to reach Liangshan.

The nearest is the Third Army, this army is south of Xuchang, less than 30 miles away from Liangshan, and you can feel it after two hours of rapid marching, and there is the Fifth Army from Pinglu, the Fifth Army led by Li Tong has been advancing along the shore of the lake, the range of action is not large, keeping about ten miles away from the shore of the lake, walking briskly, the distance between the Third Army and the Third Army is only 20 miles, and the distance from Liangshan is only 40 miles.

The Fourth Army was not far away, but the Fourth Army was too scattered and it was too late to assemble.

What to do?

In fact, Qin Han has already made a decision in his heart, and the Ruan family will join forces to attack the Chao family and take Liangshan, there is no objection, even if there is a big risk, this battle is worth fighting, the lake bandits stationed in Liangshan are only five or six thousand, and there are more than two thousand people belonging to the Ruan family.

As long as Liangshan is captured, Xu Chang does not need to say it, and Shouzhang can also take it in one fell swoop, and it is Yuncheng that makes Qin Han hesitate.

Yuncheng is on the edge of Juyeze, Liangshan is captured, Yuncheng will definitely be a huge threat, but because it is close to Huze, it is directly within the attack range of the lake bandits, if it cannot be won in one fell swoop, it will take some trouble to attack Yuncheng in the future.

But if you want to take advantage of the situation to attack Yuncheng, there is an army of the Chao family stationed in Yuncheng City, and if you can't succeed in one blow, you may be in a dilemma.

Standing up, putting his hands behind his back, and walking a few steps, Qin Han knew that it was time to make a decision, although he had ordered the Third Army and the Fifth Army to quickly approach in the direction of Liangshan, but how to fight this battle, he still needed to think about it, but he had made up his mind, even if he took some risks, he would fight this one!
