In the fifth year of Jianwen, in the autumn, the Langya Sailor and the Bohai Sailor finally went south along the coast, transferred from the mouth of the sea to the inland river of the Great River, and displayed on the north bank of the Great River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Northwest Army was not good at water warfare, Xiao Yu adopted the strategy of Yang Bofu, connected the ships end to end, so that the men and horses were on the boat as if they were on the ground, and the 100,000 troops originally stationed in Huaibei boarded the ships one after another, and formed a confrontation with the Jiangdu Naval Division on the south bank of the river.

Xiao Yu did not board the ship immediately, but stayed in Qingyu Garden, still with Yang Bofu in charge of the sailor.

In the faint morning light, Qingyu Garden ushered in a very strange guest.

The garden guard is an old man who has followed Xiao Yu for many years, and basically all the high-ranking officials from the northwest have seen it, but they don't know where this burly and huge man is, and he can let Qu Cangdu personally lead the way.

The guard thinks that his eyes are quite vicious, and he can recognize this person as a first-class military attaché, and the arrogance on his body is definitely fought on the battlefield, and then he thinks of the entry into the city not long ago, and finally smacked out some doorways in hindsight.

Could it be that Northeast Chamang?

Because there are only two masters, there are not too many guards and servants in the garden, not to mention entering the palace as deep as the sea, under the guidance of Qu Cang, Cha Mang only walked a few twists and turns, and he has already come to the front of the main hall.

The two waited in front of the door for a while, and a graceful woman walked out of the house, followed by four sword-bearing maids, with an awe-inspiring appearance.

Qu Cang immediately bowed his head and said, "See the queen." ”

Then he introduced softly: "This is the Chadu Governor of the Northern Capital. ”

Lin Yinping's name can be said to be known to everyone, no one knows, although this is the first time he has seen Lin Yinping, he has long been fascinated by this strange woman. Of course, it is not because of Lin Yinping's reputation as a fierce woman, but because of the original battle of Shaanzhou, Xiao Yu was unconscious, or she was in charge of the northwest as a woman, and she did not lose her strength.

In other words, the two were once rivals.

Zha Mang also followed Qu Cang's example and bowed his head and saluted, "Zha Mang sees the queen." ”

Lin Yinping glanced at the two of them lightly, and his gaze stayed on Zha Mang's body slightly.

Since giving birth to Xiao Xuan, she has no longer interfered in court politics, and she has no interest in the emperor's mental tricks that her husband enjoys, and she didn't think deeply about why her husband summoned Zha Mang alone, she just nodded lightly and said, "King Qi is waiting inside." ”

Say goodbye and leave.

Zha Mang said softly: "The king is really majestic. ”

Qu Cang smiled slightly.

Xiao Yu didn't let the two of them wait too long, and after a while, a voice came from the house, "Come in".

Qu Cang pushed the door in.

Without waiting for the two of them to salute, Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the main seat, had already waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, sit down and talk." ”

Qu Cang only sat on half of the chair, but Cha Mang didn't have Qu Cang's skills, and his huge body sat on the chair with a bang, making the rosewood chair under the seat let out an overwhelmed moan.

Before the two of them came in, Xiao Yu was watching a piece of music written by Yang Bofu, sprinkled nearly 10,000 words, all about matters related to the water war.

After the two came in, Xiao Yu put down the piece in his hand and said straight to the point: "I summoned Governor Chadu this time to ask Governor Chadudu's opinion on the next war. ”

Zha Mang said frankly: "Zha Mang has been on the northeast border for a long time, and he is proficient in the battle of the cavalry, and the water war is only occasionally involved. ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It's okay for Governor Chadu to be blunt. ”

Zha Mang did not hide his pessimistic attitude, and said in a heavy tone: "The Northern Army is not good at water warfare, although the king has used the old general Yang to train the water division, but the time is too short, it is just a vain appearance, if you really want to fight with the Jiangdu water division, it will definitely be a situation of defeat and no victory, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to make a final decision on the land battle." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Go on." ”

Zha Mang continued: "So the purpose of the king's training of the sailor is to assist the northwest army to cross the river, and Lu Qian also took a fancy to this and wanted to completely bury the king's northwest army on the river. ”

Qu Cang was shocked.

Zha Mang said simply, and told all the plans of Xiao Yu and Lu Qian.

Regarding Cha Mang's words, Xiao Yu remained silent, without the slightest wave on his face, and asked calmly: "In this case, if Cha Dudu is in Lu Qian's position, what should I do?"

Since he dared to put these words into words, he naturally had a draft of how to answer, and replied: "The king connected the war ship with an iron lock, although the soldiers and horses were like walking on the ground, but there was also a huge hidden danger, that is, the action was slow and unchanged, it was autumn at this time, the weather was dry and dry, if it was attacked with fire, the king was afraid that he would be a careless end to the whole army." ”

Cha Mang's words can be described as a heart-wrenching argument, but Xiao Yu was very interested, and then asked, "Is there a good way to solve it?"

Zha Mang got up from the chair, came to the map hanging in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please see, in terms of the overall battle situation, there are two roads into the south of the Yangtze River, one is to cross the river, and the other is to enter the lake from Shu. ”

"Now the king sent troops in two ways, one was led by Wei Ban, and the troops were sent from Shuzhou. The other way is to cross the river, and the king himself is in charge. If Wang Shang did not cross the river, but pressed all his forces on the front line of Shuzhou, then Lu Qian would devote half of his strength to the south of the Yangtze River to build a Huzhou defense line, and reproduce the situation that the Jianda army was blocked by the two Xiang. But now that Wang Shang's troops are divided into two ways, then Lu Qian is destined to not be able to focus on Huzhou, which also gives Wei Ban a chance. ”

"If it is dragged into a protracted war, the poor Jiangbei cannot afford to drag it, but the rich Jiangnan is the most able to drag it out, if it is not possible to capture Jiangnan for a long time, the king's 500,000 army will become a huge burden, and the king will be breathless. ”

Speaking of this, Zha Mang said in a deep voice: "The proprietor of the Northern Expedition back then, the lessons of the later construction, the king must not ignore it. ”

Zha Mang paused slightly, and then said: "So the battle of crossing the river must be fought, but it is not a battle that must be won. What the king has to do is not to defeat the Jiangdu Naval Division in the front, but to send his iron cavalry to the other side. ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "What Governor Cha Dudu said is from the bottom of his heart, and he wrote it down." ”

Cha Mang bowed his head and did not say anything, it is taboo to speak shallowly and deeply, some words can be said to the end, if you want to continue to speak, it is inevitable that you will be hateful.

Xiao Yu talked to Zha Mang about other military and political matters.

It was almost noon, and Cha Mang got up with great insight to say goodbye.

Xiao Yu got up from his seat and said with a smile: "Today, an old friend is visiting, so I won't stay with the governor." ”

Zha Mang's upper body leaned forward slightly, bowed his head and said, "The last general will retire." ”

When Cha Mang's huge back slowly disappeared outside the door, Xiao Yu instructed Qu Cang: "Take Lone's hand and tell Yang Bofu that he is Lonely." ”
