Just when the Caizhou army had to rest temporarily outside Gushu City because of exhaustion, the Ziqing army had already gritted its teeth and bypassed Yucheng and went west into Songcheng.

However, this is only a part of the Ziqing Army, one cavalry army, two infantry troops, and the follow-up troops have been pulled out dozens of miles one after another.

In particular, the infantry from the Lao Pinglu army had obviously not kept up with the physical fitness and peacetime marching training.

When the front of the Ziqing army was already approaching Songcheng, they were even on the outskirts of Yucheng, so much so that Liu Yansi and Chai Yong had to ask the rear to take the opportunity to let the army that fell behind enter Yucheng and station.

Since they could no longer catch up with Song Cheng, Liu Yansi and Chai Yong were convinced that the progress of the Ziqing Army and the Caizhou Army in seizing Song City was probably only a gap between one hour and two hours, so they had to wait until the infantry of the last army of the Ziqing Army arrived, and I am afraid that they would have already passed the three autumns.

However, the location of Yucheng is also very important, if the Ziqing army is really one step slower, then in the case of attacking the city, it is very important to control Yucheng.

The first army has little impact on the Ziqing army, which has more than ten armies, in the battle of Songcheng, but if it can control Yucheng under unfavorable circumstances, it is very critical.

From Yucheng to Songcheng, it is almost a flat river, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the terrain may have some small ups and downs, which basically does not have much impact on the army marching at full speed.

However, Meng Zhuze, which is close to Yucheng, is rippling, the reeds are green, and the wind and water vapor of the lake in the face make the enthusiasm of the soldiers fade a lot.

Mengzhuze is also the famous Daze in the Central Plains, the Bianhe River enters from the northwest, comes out from the southeast, and reaches Xuzhou through Dangshan, which can be called the golden waterway.

However, the uneven flow of the Bianhe River over the years has also greatly affected the merchants who want to communicate with Bianxu through this waterway, especially in the dry years of the previous two years, winter and spring, and even many sections of the river can only pass small fishing boats.

Although the Bianhe River is easily blocked due to the uneven annual water and drought, it is also a large river in the Central Plains, and in ordinary years, ships can already be navigated.

Like the heavy snow last winter, since this spring, the snow melts a lot of water, this waterway will be lively again, plus there is also Meng Zhuze, a big lake that can adjust the upper and lower parts of the Bianhe River, so that although the Bianhe waterway is not as prosperous as the canal in the south, it is much more convenient than the waterway in the north to take Baigou, Heze, Heshui, and Surabaya.

Meng Zhuze has abundant water and lush grass all year round, and there are many abysses of different sizes near Meng Zhuze, so that the surrounding land will not be greatly affected even if it is harvested in a major drought year, which can be called a granary.

In addition, the specialties in Meng Zhuze Lake are extremely abundant, no less than Juyeze, and even more than Zhichao Lake, Heze and Shaobi cannot be compared with them, so Deng Guinian, the head of the Daozang Material Official Academy, tried his best to ask to take Songzhou in front of Jiang Feng, and at the worst time, he also had to control Meng Zhuze and ensure that the Daozang Material Official Academy had enough sources of special products for research.

With the expansion of Jiang Feng's territory, the role of the Daozang Material Official's Academy has become more and more obvious, especially in some special arms and specific circumstances, the influence of the Daozang Material's official academy is also increasing, and it also makes the Daozang Material's official academy have a greater and greater appetite, especially for some Lingshan Daze, which is rich in strange and wonderful materials, it is even more straightforward to put forward its own requirements, and even to invoke Austrian aid in the army, in order to be able to express their wishes and demands, which both Jiang Feng and the princes of the Political Affairs Department are faintly aware of.

Of course, in Jiang Feng's view, this is not entirely a bad thing, whether it is a person or an organization, it will pursue it for its own interests and desires, this is normal, it is right to be able to make good use of it, and it is a dereliction of duty if a person cannot be aware of it and cannot realize it.

However, although Meng Zhuze's scenery is good, but for Liu Yansi and Chai Yong, this time is not the time to enjoy the scenery, the scout from Gu Shu reported urgently, Cai Zhoujun has passed Gu Shu and is rushing towards Song Cheng, which makes Liu Yansi and Chai Yong realize that they still underestimate Cai Zhoujun and Er Yuan's vigilance and reaction speed.

"I really didn't expect Yuan Huaiqing to be so bold, old and strong!" Liu Yansi's eyes were like torches, and the healthy horse under his crotch slowly accelerated.

It is impossible to do it alone, of course he will not break into Song City alone, for the Ziqing army, as long as he takes the lead.

He didn't believe that as long as he entered the city, who could still expel the Ziqing Army from Song City, even if it really became a decisive battle in the city, the Ziqing Army would have the strength to deal with any challenge.

"Hehe, the governor doesn't know much about the situation in Caizhou, of course Yuan Huaiqing is not simple, he can be regarded as the backbone, but Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuxing are now the sharpest among them. ”

Although Chai Yong had never fought against Er Yuan, he knew much more about Caizhou than Liu Yansi, who had always been far away in Pinglu.

Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuxing have now gradually become the leaders of the new generation in Caizhou, while the other Yuan Wuwei has been in seclusion for a year because he was injured by the king of the county.

According to what the county king said, if he comes out of retreat, his martial arts level is bound to be more sophisticated, but the county king also said, but when it comes to the level of generals, the strength is still far superior to Yuan Wuxing, and even not inferior to Yuan Wuwei, Yuan Wuwei is far inferior to Yuan Wuxing and Yuan Wuwei.

"Hmph, the name of the Wuwei Heavenly King has also heard of it in Qingzhou, and if there is a battle today, it can be regarded as fate. Liu Yansi took a deep breath, and his face was also a rare excitement to try.

He said it from the heart.

Because he served as the main general in Pinglu Town, although he never stopped in martial arts cultivation, Pinglu Town has not fought much in recent years, and even if there is, it is a small fight, where is his turn to be the main general?

After entering the realm of the Little Heavenly Position, everyone knows that it is not entirely dependent on penance to achieve breakthrough and improvement, but more about seeking inspiration and opportunities for the collision of fate between life and death.

He once wanted to hunt dragons in the East China Sea, but that was also unavoidable, although there were also frogs and dragons in the East China Sea and Wuhu Sea, but most of them were fishermen who spread false rumors, and there was nothing to gain from the waste of ten months, so the real reliability is to fight against the strong people of the same level to get the opportunity to break through.

Like colleagues, although there are also people with equal strength, they can also learn one or two, but if they are not mortal enemies, no matter how they fight, it is difficult to achieve the state of completely releasing themselves, so it is difficult to achieve it in this way, and only the real enemy must devote himself to killing the other party with all his body and mind, so that this is possible.

"Hehe, the governor is looking forward to it so much, presumably Yuan Wuwei will also feel honored. "Chai Yongce horses to catch up," the scout reported that Yuan's soldiers and horses were probably between the five or six armies, and the vanguard must be Yuan Wuwei, if there is no accident, I estimate that we will enter the east gate, and they are afraid that they will also arrive outside the south gate, if the planners of Wuwentang can arrange one or two to block outside the south gate, they may not be able to be enemies outside the city gate. ”

"Not necessarily, what we can think of, Caizhou is afraid that I can also think of it, maybe they also have arrangements. Liu Yansi didn't dare to be so optimistic, "Maybe we can see the situation of resisting our army outside the east gate." ”

"Hmph, if that's the case, don't blame us for going on a killing spree. Chai Yong's face turned cold.

I can also think that those who block the enemy must be those who are attached to the gentry of Songcheng, and Wuwentang will use this means to stop the Caizhou army, and Caizhou will of course use the same way to deal with the Xuzhou army.

For the Ziqing Army, this is not necessarily a bad thing, such a plastered place as Songzhou, itself has been peaceful under the rule of the Great Liang for a long time, and the gentry and wang clan are intertwined, if the Ziqing Army comes, these gentry will all be attached to the command, how to find an excuse to clean up a group in the future?

Don't think how noble the gentry of Xuzhou (Huaiyou) are, the tigers have to eat people, and the gentry support the Northern Expedition of the Western Government of the county king, naturally they also have ideas.

The annexation of Yanyunyi and Pinglu Town has brought some benefits, but this is far from enough, first, the conditions of Pinglu Prefectures and Yanyunyi Prefecture themselves are not good, coupled with years of famine, dilapidated, a large number of people have been displaced, and secondly, the gentry power in the north itself is relatively strong, especially in the countryside with clan forces as the core The situation is more prominent, if you want to uproot these forces, it is inconvenient without a suitable reason, and it is easy to rebound.

If there is a group of gentry in Songzhou who are attached to Caizhou, it is undoubtedly the knife handle that he sent to the Ziqing Army, just to eradicate a group of gentry and businessmen who provided great support for the Xuzhou Army's northward expedition to the west, the risk itself must be proportional to the benefits to last, otherwise even if Jiang Feng is hopeful, no one will pay for you again and again.

A batch of weeds must be cleared in order to provide living space for the new wheat to live.

Hearing the chill in the deputy's words, Liu Yansi didn't care, the soldiers should still be pure, and those involved in these affairs should not think too much.

"There's no need to worry too much, Songzhou has always been a place of concern for the county magistrates, and Wuwentang must have worked a lot in Songzhou. ”

Although Liu Yansi has not been in the Huaiyou system for a long time, he also knows the reputation of Wuwentang, although this department is not obvious, and the outside world may not even know its name, but as a senior military general, he naturally knows the role played by such a force in combat.

It can be said that the preliminary preparation for each war, the basis for determining the strategy, and the judgment of the strategy mostly come from the intelligence collection of all aspects of the Wuwentang, rather than purely military information, which is precisely the point that the feudal lords lack the most.

Liu Yansi also slowly guessed that the Huaiyou system was different from other feudal lords in all aspects, and that Huaiyou attached more importance to comprehensive strength than to military attention, perhaps this was one of the reasons why Huaiyou was able to continue to achieve victories.
