Section 96 Southward
0x5m[19CMv@:Je0DBB changes Chuzhou to Hezhou because the location of Hezhou is too sensitive.
Hezhou has an important geographical location since ancient times, and its Xiliang Mountain on the west bank of the river, as well as Zhaoguan, have always been important military places.
Xiliang Mountain and Dongliang Mountain stand between the river, such as the confrontation between the two tigers, also known as Tianmen Mountain, Erhu Mountain, Li Bai once had a poem: "Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the blue water flows east to this time." The green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite each other, and the lonely sail comes by the sun. βγ
This is the key pass to seal and control the upper and lower reaches of the river, and whoever controls this place will also have a fatal overwhelming advantage over the lower reaches of the river.
If the Huaiyou Army wants to garrison troops in Hezhou, it is bound to control Xiliang Mountain, which will definitely cause Li Wu to be nervous and shaken, which Jiang Feng does not want to see at present.
And the reason why the army marched into Chuzhou, it is reasonable to say, the town navy has lost Xuyi, and the ant thief soldiers are directed at Chuzhou, if the ant thief occupies Chuzhou, it will definitely pose a huge threat to Luzhou, the hinterland of Huaiyou, which is intolerable to Huaiyou, so this is also a defensive attack.
Jiang Feng even planned to talk to Li Yu that as long as the ant thieves were solved, Huaiyou was willing to withdraw from Chuzhou, but now that Li Wu was unable to solve the threat of the ant thieves, Huaiyou needed to ensure that his hinterland was not threatened.
Of course, no one can say whether this opinion can be implemented in the end, but Jiang Feng is relatively sure that as long as the number of troops stationed in Chuzhou is not large, and it is also a defensive posture, I believe that Li Yu can only accept this result.
As for the ant thief's side, Jiang Feng believed that as long as he didn't provoke them, they didn't have the strength to deal with the two at the same time, and if the ant thief really wanted to die, he wouldn't mind stabbing the ant thief in the back along the Huaishui line with a water army, so that they could taste it.
In addition to these two factors, the capture of Chuzhou can also be regarded as an enrichment of Huaiyou (Wuning) in Huainan.
Although Huaiyou (Wuning) has now mastered the five states of Guanghun Shou Luhao in Huainan, but Guangzhou has been captured by Nanyang, Jiang Feng and Nanyang will undoubtedly turn their faces in the short term, and from this year's situation, even if the situation in Yanyunyi and Xu Sihai will recover next year, but the demand for grain is still huge, that is to say, it is impossible for Yanyunyi and Xu Sihai to be self-sufficient in grain, and Huainan's grain is still needed to fill, which is still based on the premise that God will be beautiful next year.
If God still does not show mercy next year, the food demand for Huainan will be even greater, even to the point that Huaiyou (Wuning) will not be able to support it, because the great drought in the north is often large-scale, and the places of Heshuo and Pinglu and Yanyunyi are almost all in a major drought at the same time, so the drought will be together, and the victims in the north will rush south, and at that time, Yanyunyi and Huaibei, especially Huaibei, will be the only way for the disaster victims, and Jiang Feng cannot tolerate the situation that has been stabilized with great difficulty being messed up again.
Zhang Ting arrived in Huaiyin as the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses of the Huaiyou Right Army and the Second Army of the Naval Army.
Since Xu Ziqing was still recuperating from his wounds in Shouzhou, Zhang Ting temporarily acted as the soldier and horse envoy of the Huaiyou Right Army, and was responsible for commanding the military arrangements and defense of the entire Luhao and Chu theaters.
Although Hezhou has not yet been included in the scope for the time being, Jiang Feng has already given Zhang Ting an order to enter Chuzhou and control Chuzhou at the right time.
The so-called opportunity is to choose a suitable time, and the most suitable time is when the ant thieves have broken through the town navy and there are signs that they are about to enter Chuzhou to threaten the safety of Luzhou.
Now the ant thieves have finally broken through Xuyi City, and occupied the important place of Duliang Mountain, which directly poses a "huge threat" to Chuzhou, which is unacceptable to Huaiyou, so it is natural that Huaiyou will replace the town navy that is unable to defend Chuzhou to control Chuzhou and prevent the ant thieves from spreading to Luzhou.
According to the current Huaiyou (Wuning) army system, the daily training and management of the army will be carried out in the form of the Privy Council (General Staff) - Huaiyou (Wuning) Left (Right, Water, Cavalry) Army - the X Army, but the battle will not be carried out in this way.
Every war or military action will be carried out in the form of a certain cluster, and a certain cluster will be composed of several armies in the Huaiyou (Wuning) left (right, water) army, and the leader of the cluster will be served by a certain soldier or deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses, for example, this war operation is held by Zhang Tinglai, and several armies of the Huaiyou left and right army and the water army are taken out to be responsible.
The first army of the Huaiyou Navy has returned to Shouzhou under the leadership of Zheng Yan, who replaced Mei's condition, the deputy commander of the first army of the navy is Tian Zhikai, the commander of the middle battalion of the second army, and the commander of the second army, Tian Chunlai, has also been promoted to the commander of the Huaiyou navy, the commander of the second army of the navy is Mei Defeng of the Mei clan, and the deputy commander is Kou Wenyi from Chaohu Shuikou, and this Kou Wenyi is also Kou Wenli's cousin, and the commander of the third army of the navy is taken over by Kou Wenli's cousin Kou Wenzhong, but the deputy commander is Mei Degui from the Mei clanγ
"How is the situation over there in Zhaoyi?" As soon as he stepped into the hall, he didn't have time to disarm, so Zhang Ting asked in a deep voice.
At present, the main baggage grain and grass are transported to Huaiyin by water, according to the current division, the Huaiyou Army and the Wuning Army will still be demarcated by Huaishui, and the north of Huaishui is the defense ground of the Wuning Army, but because the current situation in Xu Sihai Yanyunyi north of Huaishui is more complicated, and may face a series of battles of different scales, so the war will leave several main forces of the Huai Right Left Army in Xuzhou in case of accidents, and at the same time the Huai Right and Right Army will be withdrawn to Huainan one after another.
At present, there are only five armies in the Huaiyou Right Army, the first army led by Qin Han, the second army led by Luo Chenggan, the third army led by Yang Kuang, a son of the Yang family in Haozhou, who served as the commander of the army, Gu Hua's fourth army, and the fifth army led by Ge Chong, who was almost completely defeated in the battle of Nanyingzhou.
Due to the death of Ge Chong and the almost total annihilation of the Fifth Army of the Huaiyou Right Army, Jiang Feng has ordered the rebuilding of the Fifth Army of the Huaiyou Right Army, and the army commander is Guo Yue, who is the commander of Jiang Feng's personal guard battalion.
Because the Huaiyou Right Army returned to the south mainly by water transportation, but with the collusion between the Baishuitang water bandits and the water bandits of Fanliang Lake and Baima Lake and the Yangzhou Water Army on the Cao Canal, the Huaishui line also appeared to be less stable, so the southbound infantry returned under the escort of the water army, but it was not so high in efficiency.
However, Zhang Ting does not think there is much risk in taking Chuzhou.
Not to mention that He Guozhen, the assassin of Chuzhou, was originally attached to Yang Pu and his family of officials, Li Wu did not have a garrison in Chuzhou, and even the officials could not be replaced.
Although he was submissive to Li Wu after being occupied by Li Wu's army, Li Wu also intended to replace He Guozhen, but before he had time to implement it, the Huaiyou army had already arrived at the city of Luzhou, and then Huaiyou reached an agreement with Li Wu to peacefully solve the status of Luhao Erzhou and Hezhou, Li Yu led the town navy and the eastern navy to go all out into the battle with the ant thieves who crossed the Huaishui in the south and intended to seize Chuzhou.
Because he was worried that the removal of He Guozhen, who had a good reputation, would bring instability in Chuzhou and affect the war situation in Chuzhou, Li Yu also did not move Chuzhou for the time being, and wanted to wait until the problem of ant thieves was solved before dealing with it.
He Guozhen has contacted Yang Xun, the assassin of Luzhou, several times, and asked Huaiyou to take over Chuzhou on behalf of the Chuzhou gentry to ensure the safety of Chuzhou.
It's just that Jiang Feng was busy attacking Xuzhou at that time, and he really didn't have the energy to ask about Chuzhou, but now that Xuzhou has been won, and the situation in Huaibei Prefectures has gradually calmed down, Jiang Feng is also a little moved by the Chuzhou issue.
After all, Chuzhou is also a grain-producing area, basically without war, if it can be won, it will be more or less helpful to ease the grain pressure in the states north of Huaishui next year.
Moreover, taking Chuzhou will be equivalent to driving a wedge between Chuyang and Yangzhou, and once things change in the future, the army can go straight out of Chuzhou, cut off the Cao Canal, or go straight to Yangzhou.
The only thing that needs to be considered is the attitude of the ant thief and Li Yu who are in the middle of the fierce battle.
For Li Yu, Jiang Feng over there also considered sending an envoy to negotiate, and the ant thief would also send someone to contact him.
Of course, you can't expect too much from the ant thieves, even if they make a clear statement, it is impossible to make Huaiyou believe that for them, you can only make all preparations for war to prevent the bite of this group of mad dogs.
"Hui Yu, the commander of the Left Ninth Army over there in Zhaoyi has sent a scout to reconnoiter the Yongyang, Qingliu and Liuhe lines, the situation is normal, there is a military army of the town navy stationed in Liuhe, but it is mainly responsible for guarding the baggage and materials, and there is no cavalry, he sent a letter hoping that the general can arrive in Zhaoyi as soon as possible. β
"I know. Zhang Ting nodded.
In fact, there was no beginning in this battle, and the town navy was clearly unlikely to fight with Huaiyou because of this, and he even felt that he should take advantage of the situation to take back Hezhou, but this was categorically denied by Jiang Feng, and before the situation in the north was completely stabilized, Huaiyou should not make enemies on many sides.
Zhang Ting doesn't think that taking Hechu Erzhou Li Yu will start a war against Huaiyou, for Li Wu, Haizhou is the fundamental, once Haizhou is conquered by ant thieves, I am afraid that Li Wu's situation in the entire Jiangbei will be unstable, and even Yangzhou will be difficult to hold his fist.
Now that the offensive and defensive battle in Chuzhou is fierce, the reason why the ant thieves have more than 100,000 troops, but they dare not go south to Yangzhou directly along the Cao Canal, is that they are worried that the Eastern Navy in Shanyang City will stick a knife in their backs.
The combat effectiveness of the ant thief itself is unstable, once it is attacked from behind, it is only afraid that it will be a big rout, Qin Quan and they are also very clear about this truth, so they would rather spend more time and energy, kill and injure some more people and horses, but also conquer Shanyang to ensure the stability of their rear.
And Shanyang, even if the ant thief takes a key node at the intersection of Caoqu and Huaishui, whether it is Huaiyou, Li Wu, or even the imperial court of Daliang and Guanzhong far away in the Central Plains, they have to look sideways, because this is the throat of Caoyun in the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Yu also understands this truth, so even if he abandons other places, he must defend Shanyang.
