Yuan Huaihe stepped into the Yingzhou Thorn Mansion with such a complex state of mind. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A day later, he left the place in an exhilarating and desperate mood.

Yuan Huaiqing's hesitation, Yuan Huaide's entanglement, and Yuan Wuwei's resoluteness have all been rolling in his heart, and he has to admit that the new generation of the Yuan family has grown up.

Even if he stood in Yuan Wuwei's position, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to take Bozhou in one fell swoop.

Huaiyou occupies Yingshang, only a hundred miles away from Ruyin City, with a huge advantage of the water army, and Ruyin City is now dilapidated, once Huaiyou launches an attack, can Ruyin City hold on?

Don't plan Yingshang and Shangcai, but want to go near and far to attack Bozhou, even Bozhou has an internal line arranged by its own side, but Shang Yunliu and Liang Xu's two troops and horses are stationed in Bozhou, if the other party does not rotate according to their own baton, then the assault on Bozhou will become a dilemma, and may even be Huaiyou and Huaibei to fight a counterattack.

But Yuan Wuwei's final statement deeply moved him.

The current Caizhou can no longer be like Caizhou in the previous twenty years, when Caizhou could be Taoguang and steady, but now, with the rapid rise of Huaiyou beside him, the Khitan people are ambitiously moving south, and the Shatuo people in Hedong and the party in the northwest are sharpening their knives and preparing to do a big job, and Caizhou has not so much time to accumulate.

In Yuan Wuwei's view, the current Central Plains still has the girder, a behemoth with corpse remnants, to support the situation, and the girder is like an enlarged version of Huaibei, once it is punctured at a certain point in time for a specific reason, maybe the girder will fall to the ground like Huaibei, and even collapse faster than Huaibei.

Once the Liang falls, the Shatuo people, the Khitan people, the Dangxiang people, and even the Tuyuhun people, these miscellaneous people will see the opportunity to rush up desperately to tear the remains of the Liang, and at that time, the war will inevitably spread to the surroundings, whether it is Guanzhong, Nanyang, Caizhou, Heshuo, Pinglu and Taining, maybe they will all become pond fish, if they can't become strong quickly during this period, Caizhou will become a meal on the plate of these miscellaneous beards.

Yuan Wuwei's idea is also very clear, the southern Yingzhou is not important, and it is nothing to lose to Huaiyou, but the northern Yingzhou and Bozhou are very important, and now the northern Yingzhou has been controlled in hand, if Bozhou is taken in one fell swoop, then Caizhou-North Yingzhou-Bozhou will be connected, and the situation of Chenzhou will be re-formed, once that time node comes, Caizhou can have to take Chenzhou or even Songzhou, and step into the road of hegemony in the Central Plains.

Moreover, Bozhou has a vast territory, and the population of the eight counties is also larger than that of Yingzhou, and after taking Bozhou, Caizhou's strategic depth has been greatly strengthened, and it can truly achieve the cause of the king.

What's more critical is that the current Bozhou seems to have a lot of troops, but it is divided into several departments, not subordinate to each other, and there are many contradictions between each other, taking advantage of the fact that there is no more powerful role to integrate on the Xuzhou side now, and the Huaiyou side is still busy stabilizing the defense of the line of Yingshang-Shangcai (Fengtai), the Caizhou army can just rely on the superior strength in their hands to hit the other side by surprise, and when they all think that they want to stop to stabilize the rule of Yingzhou, they can highlight the surprise soldiers, so as to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.

What really moved Yuan Huaihe was the last reason.

It's a bit risky, but it's worth it.

At this time, Yuan Huaihe also fully demonstrated his determination as the head of the family, and handed over 50,000 troops to Yuan Wuwei, starting from Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Huaide, all the generals were dispatched by Yuan Wuwei, and even gritted his teeth and said that his own guard battalion plus the two regiments stationed in Xincai and Baoxin counties would be transferred to Yingzhou together, so that Yuan Wuwei could free up all his forces to fight this battle.

"These idiots!" Riding the horse hurried a few steps, looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Heng almost burst out a few words from between his teeth, and the horizontal flesh on his face couldn't help but twitch a few times, "It's been a few days, and the assembly hasn't been completed yet?" Do you want me to take the whip and wake them up one by one?"

It really made Qin Heng angry, and he started to cross the river ten days ago, but it wasn't until the day before yesterday that the entire Yan Army had only crossed seventy percent, and thirty percent of the troops were still north of Huaishui.

The pigs in Baishuitang kept saying that there were enough boats, patted their chests and said that there was no problem, and they were a little careless, but they didn't expect to be attacked by an army led by Yu Mingzhen, which caught them off guard and burned half of the boats in one fell swoop, which made it difficult to cross the river.

Originally, the time of crossing the river was delayed, but after the crossing, due to the uneven distribution of military funds, several heavy grain and grass were insufficient, so they had to spread outward to plunder to fill the vacancy.

And this exacerbated the difficulty of gathering and gathering, and until now there are still three armies that have not returned, which makes Qin Heng so angry that his hair is about to stand on end.

The various ministries that had been captured and returned from the captivity were also unevenly divided, quarreled endlessly, and did not care about assembling according to the region and standing by, and they are still lazy to this day.

Qin Heng knew that the leisurely days in Huaibei had made these brothers a little lazy, and it was time to rectify the military discipline and make these guys wake up.

The armored man on Qin Heng's side didn't say anything, but on the high ground behind him, the black and neat Xuanjia cavalry was lined up in a standard diamond-shaped phalanx, overlooking this side from afar.

"Ah He, let you see the smile, these guys are lazy in Huaibei. ”

Fiercely whipped a few military commanders who came to report, and ordered these guys to bring all the troops to the designated position to assemble before it got dark tonight, Qin Heng waited for the reins of the horse to come over, spit out a breath of turbidity, and said with some embarrassment.

"Second uncle, I'm afraid this won't work. ”

The mask on the man's face is a somewhat eerie leopard pattern, and the black lines trace some exaggerated patterns on the soft and tough Jiao skin, like a leopard's mouth that wants to bite the teeth.

He was wearing a black cloak of unknown material, covering his whole body, and only a lilac armor could be seen through the gap in the cloak.

Armor of this color is rare, as if it was made of some kind of silk with a hint of gold.

The crotch was noticeably taller than the surrounding horses, and the shields on the left and right were only placed on the belly of the horses behind the saddle.

The shield has always been slightly smaller but the shield surface is slightly thicker, similar to a double-layer composite made, and there seem to be some gaps between the interlayers, so it is not clear what is hidden inside.

One is slightly larger, slightly oval, dark and shiny, with some sword marks on it, which is obviously a frequent use.

On the weapon hook frame on the other side, a dull mace hung diagonally on it, the head of the mace was not large, but the blue mace cost more than an inch, and it seemed to have some kind of special aura lingering, which made people shudder at first sight.

Hearing the man who covered his face say this, Qin Heng's face was also suffocated, he rubbed his face, and his voice was a few degrees lower, "Ah He, I know this can't work, I also want to kill people, but most of them are like this, you also know that before entering the two states of Sihai, they were not like this,......"

"Second uncle, that's not what I said, now the punishment is of little significance, it's too late, we've been delayed here for too long, the scouts have reported back, the two armies from Yangzhou have already passed Anyi, and they will arrive in Chuzhou soon, we don't have time. The man's voice was soft and heavy, and it seemed that some of them were not clear.

"Ah He, what do you mean, ......?" Qin Heng was taken aback, he knew that his brother's righteous son was extraordinary, but he was more of a charge, and at this time, he suddenly brought it up to have other intentions.

"Second uncle, we can't wait, the Yangzhou Navy is about to arrive in Shanyang, if we can't take Huaiyin before the Navy enters Huaiyin, we will face an embarrassing situation. Qin He's tone was a little sparse, "Huaiyin and Shanyang are each other's horns, we must take Huaiyin in order to further isolate Shanyang and prepare for the next attack on Shanyang." ”

It wasn't until they crossed the Huaishui that the ant thieves began to realize that Wudi and Huaibei were completely different.

Taking Chuzhou as an example, along the three counties of Huai, Xuyi is the main road that communicates the river and the Huaishui -- the throat of the Bianqu canal, where the Bianqu is connected to the Huaishui; further east, Surabaya is injected into the Huaishui from north to south, and Huaiyin is at the place where the Surabaya enters the Huaishui; and then to the east is the Chuzhou Prefecture to govern Shanyang, and the Cao Canal enters the Huai River here from south to north, connecting Shanyang with Yangzhou.

It can be said that the three counties in the north of Chuzhou are all born in the Huai, and most of them are the confluence of the river canal and the Huaishui, and the two counties in the south, Anyi is near the Cao Canal, and Yancheng is near the sea, so it can be seen from here that basically these counties are near the water, and the developed water transportation makes the transportation convenient and the trade is developed, and at the same time, it also makes the importance of the water army highlighted.

Basically, every city has a water gate, and the Flame Army, which lacks the advantage of a naval army, must not only deal with the enemies inside the city, but also be careful of the enemies who attack from the water at any time.

Tongdu Dayi, where Shanyang is located, is not only heavily guarded, but also relies on the advantage of water transportation, so that the navy can come and go freely at any time, if the Yan army wants to besiege the city, if it is not done well, it will be attacked by the enemy from the perspective of logistics supply and sneak attack with the mobile advantage of the navy.

Therefore, Qin He is very worried about this situation, Shanyang City has thick walls, it is the state of Chuzhou, and it is also the central city of Chuzhou, and the defense system is perfect, which is not something that the current Yan army can fight, but he feels that he should take the famous city of Huaiyin first, so as to force Shanyang to react.
