Chapter 254 has its own plans
"See Xiahou, the villain is polite! When Xiahou and Han Dadu and General Zhou rebelled against the counties of Fujian and Zhejiang, the villain once had the honor of seeing Xiahou, and now your old man is becoming more and more vigorous! ”
The Captain Chen who came with Shen Sanshui said to Wang Ze with a respectful face, but Wang Zelei was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
My old man? It's still vigorous! Wang Ze was immediately speechless, and Zhao Yong and Guo Erlang, who overheard it next to him, held back their laughter and held back their faces purple.
With Shen Sanshui coming to Wang Ze's side, this Captain Chen was five big and three thick, with a beard on his face as if he was hanging on a steel wire, saying that he was a southerner, but he was a northerner, and it seemed that he should be from a northerner homeless person, but this is really speechless.
As soon as Wang Ze saw him, he felt a little familiar, so he asked casually, so it caused this guy to talk endlessly, and it was still a chatter, but Wang Ze didn't care about the improper use of these rough people's words, he smiled at the Chen military captain and said: "Thank you for your general's kindness!" Stop for a moment, I'm going to visit General Zhou! ”
With the secret medicine sent by Zhou Wenhua, the phenomenon of a large number of deaths of war horses has finally been solved, and of course I have to thank him in person while I am happy, and I will not mention it since then.
There are always endless words when people meet, although the age difference between Zhou Wenhua and Wang Ze is too big, but it can't stand that Wang Ze is reborn, well-informed, and now he is in a high position, and he has a high-level view, which makes Zhou Wenhua value Wang Ze more and more.
If Zhou Wenhua was usually happy, he might set up a banquet and the two of them drank bitterly, but now that the big war is imminent, they don't dare to delay, and now the army is only a hundred miles away from Ninghai County, and when they arrive tomorrow, they may face the rebels of the aborigines of Jiaozhou at any time.
Taking advantage of their ability to move in the jungle, these Jiaozhou indigenous rebels would often detour from the forest to the back of Chen's army, and then take advantage of the stalemate of the battle to strike hard from Chen's back, at which point the Chen soldiers would often panic, leading to the army's eventual defeat.
In the past, when Mei's army raised troops in Jiaozhou, it was able to defeat the Chen Dynasty garrisons in various counties of Jiaozhou, except that the number of local garrisons was too small, which had a lot to do with the use of this tactic.
Now, although Zhou Wenhua's army is still nearly 100 miles away from Ninghai County, it is impossible to say that there are Jiaozhou rebels hiding nearby.
In order to prevent the messengers under his command from being intercepted by the small army of the rebels lurking, Zhou Wenhua even sent out each group of messengers was a cavalry of more than 20 people, so that even if he encountered a small team of 100 indigenous rebels, he could fight.
At this time, Ouyang Wei, the governor of Lingnan, who had already fought against the indigenous army in Ninghai County, had already known about the arrival of Zhou Wenhua, Mrs. Xian and Wang Ze's army, and he also welcomed such a tripartite alliance with an army of nearly 40,000 people.
Although Ouyang Wei had 50,000 troops in his hands, it was also very difficult to face the lifeless attack of the Jiaozhou indigenous army on the opposite side, and what was even more unexpected was that these natives did not follow the previous methods at all, and actually broke into pieces regardless of the casualties to cross the jungle, and went around their own backs and other weak forces to attack.
In this way, the 50,000 people who were originally quite suitable for him are becoming more and more insufficient, even if there are tens of thousands of slang troops led by Ah Niu to support him, it is useless, and now he is reluctant to fight against the rebels.
Finally, after the arrival of reinforcements, Ouyang Wei, as the governor of Lingnan, of course, had to serve as the supreme leader, and held a combat meeting, and Wang Ze was also invited as a reinforcement from a friendly person.
But after listening to it for a while, Wang Ze said something that made Ouyang Yan's face change and said, "What? Xiahou, are you sure that there are troops of the Lin Yi Kingdom among these rebels?! ”
But then Ouyang didn't believe it.
What is the strength of Linyi Country, Ouyang Yu still knows a little, when he and Mrs. Xian swept Jiuzhen County, they also swept the northern part of Linyi Country, which has always supported the aborigines of Jiaozhou, and plundered a lot of Linyi Country.
At that time, the army of Lin Yi State in the face of the army of Southern Chen was completely vulnerable, but now Wang Ze actually said that it was very likely that the army sent by Lin Yi State would be able to integrate the scattered Jiaozhou natives who could fight with him.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Wei was very unhappy, and his invitation to Wang Ze to participate in the meeting was just a respect for him, he didn't need Wang Ze to give any advice on these wars, but he still had to pay attention to face, so he said to Wang Ze: "This matter will be investigated by his soldiers!" ”
After that, he didn't even pay attention to Wang Ze, which made Wang Ze very helpless, but since people are so confident, then Wang Ze simply didn't say anything more, and when he suffered a little loss in the future, he would know that he would listen to people's persuasion to eat enough.
In Wang Ze's cold watch, Ouyang Wei ordered Mrs. Xian and Ah Niu to lead their slang soldiers to deal with the indigenous soldiers who went around the back of the army from the dense forest, Zhou Wenhua cooperated with the army to attack from the right flank, and Ouyang Wei led the main army of nearly 50,000 people to attack the front.
The battle has changed from the moment the reinforcements led by Zhou Wenhua arrived, which is also where Ouyang Fei's confidence can ignore Wang Ze, in his opinion, as long as he deploys the army well, even if the indigenous army on the opposite side has more than 100,000, it can be swept away soon. Dancing God eBook
It wasn't that Ouyang couldn't forcibly attack the indigenous army before, but these natives were very familiar with the jungle, and once there was an unfavorable war, they could quickly hide in the jungle, but it was even more difficult to deal with.
Ouyang Yu was preparing for himself, Wang Ze was not idle, he quietly ran to the port by the sea, where Yang Feihu, the deputy lieutenant of the Zhonghu Naval Army, was already waiting for him there, but Wang Ze's naval army was not here, and these naval troops did not know where to go from the time they landed in Anzhou (Beihai).
"How's it going?" Wang Ze also disguised himself as an ordinary soldier, pulled Yang Feihu to a hidden place on the side of the road and asked in a low voice, his eyes did not forget to observe the surrounding movements, now that the Nanchen army is fighting, it is really not important to keep secrets, or the confidentiality measures are too poor.
Yang Feihu was also wearing the clothes of ordinary people, looking like the guards of a trading house, and there were many guards in Ninghai County today, so they were not noticeable.
He said in a low voice: "Little Marquis, we got the news that it is said that a prince of the Funan Kingdom was expelled, so he took a group of people to take refuge in Linyi State, and then knew the news of the Jiaozhou aborigines, so he took the initiative to ask the lord of Linyi Country to let him preside over the affairs of Jiaozhou!" ”
"No wonder!" The prince touched his chin and stroked a few faint whiskers there, "I said that Lin Yiguo was so soft before, how did he become stronger all of a sudden, there is such a way in it!" ”
Wang Ze asked again: "How did you find out about this news?" Now it's not just the prince of Funan who is helping Lin Yiguo and those Jiaozhou rebels, right? ”
If the news said that there was only the prince of Funan, Wang Ze would not believe it if he was killed, and now he was afraid of Funan's interference in the war in Jiaozhou, although this prince was expelled from Funanguo on the surface, but who knows if it was an illusion made by Funan?
At present, his strength in the South Seas is still very weak, and if he confronts the Funan Kingdom head-on, it will be very unfavorable for him to return to the merchant ships that take the trade routes of the South Seas and the West.
All the naval warships under his command combined, it is not inferior to the naval forces of Funan, but he still has to maintain the sea power of the East China Sea, the sea security of Yizhou and the safety of other islands, so it is impossible to concentrate all the naval forces in Nanyang to fight with Funan.
That's not blood, but stupidity, so at this time, Wang Ze is unwilling to fight with Funanguo head-on, if he waits for a few more years, it will be difficult to say.
Fortunately, Yang Feihu also had an accurate source, and after he looked around slightly from the left and right, he said to Wang Ze: "The day before yesterday, I took the navy with Gu Duwei to the west of Zhuya County and went around, and found that many Tianzhu merchants' ships were blocking the sea route to Nanchen, and many merchant ships could only anchor in the port of Linyi Kingdom, waiting for the war to stop!" ”
"We took the opportunity to seize two Tianzhu ships and captured two Tianzhu merchants who were involved in this matter, they said that they were only doing business in Funan, and because they were friendly with the prince of Funan, they were said to have come here to cooperate with the prince's actions!"
"Yo he, I didn't expect Ah San's hand to be quite long!" The prince was very surprised, he didn't expect that Ah San was quite ambitious at this time, and he could even stretch out his hand so far away from Tianzhu, which was to grab territory with himself.
Thinking of this, the prince made up his mind to beat those Tianzhu merchants severely, and let them know that although you Tianzhu maritime merchants have the largest number of Tianzhu merchants on the seas of East Asia and South Asia now, you still have to be more restrained in front of your brother.
Thinking of this, the prince whispered to Yang Feihu: "You go back and find Gu Bin and tell him, find an opportunity to sink and destroy these Tianzhu merchants' sea ships as much as possible, we don't want their broken ships, otherwise they will be easily recognized in the future!" ”
He thought about it carefully and said to Yang Feihu: "The purpose of this operation is mainly to weaken the power of the Tianzhu merchants on the sea as much as possible, and it is also to punish them for interfering in the situation in Jiaozhou without authorization. ”
Wang Ze actually doesn't think it's too bad for the current situation, and even this is an opportunity for Wang Ze to set up those strongholds in Nanyang for development.
Today, the sea routes in the South Seas basically follow the coastlines of Jiaozhou (northern Vietnam), Limyi (southern Vietnam including part of Cambodia), Funan (most of Cambodia and most of Thailand), and Temasek (Malay and Singapore).
As an independent group of islands, a series of islands such as Luhan (Luzon), South Long Island (Palawan), and Borneo (Kalimantan) are very desolate because they are far from the mainland and the civilization on the islands has not yet started.
In the past, the strength of the strongholds set up by Wang Ze on these islands was still very weak, so Wang Ze did not dare to expose the base here to the eyes of others.
Now there are seven or eight thousand Han people here on Luhan Island alone, and the population of other places is at least more than 3,000 people, and the total number of people in each base is more than 20,000 people, in addition to the Nanyang Fleet led by Du Sheng to maintain security.
In this way, the various bases are organically linked into a whole, and there is no need to be afraid that someone will use the navy to split several strongholds and break them individually.
And these strongholds set up by Wang Ze can take advantage of the opportunity to rise because they control the key port nodes on the sea, and they don't know how much profit they will get just by supplying merchant ships along the way.
