Just when the Xuanjun was secretly operating, Yu Qingwu also secretly arrived in Furong Town, and Xiao Yu gave him a secret order to take Raozhou and besiege Yuzhang at any cost.

Yu Qingwu felt that Xiao Yu's idea was excellent, but he always had some drumming in his heart, he was thinking that the battle of Yuzhang was a three-way war, and it had been on and off for almost a year, neither Daxuan nor his side had gotten a bargain, but let Du Heng of Yuzhang City get training, and he didn't believe that Xuanjun would let things go on like this.

Yu Qingwu, the "Guyue New Deal" of Daxuan, also had a general understanding that Daxuan's military strength has been reduced, but its strength is gradually increasing, especially the formation of the military's "Standing Yuan", and enhancing their command ability is equivalent to forming a command group to avoid the harm caused by a one-person decision.

Yu Qingwu played the drum this time to face Yu Geng, his old boss, the world said that Yu Geng was brave, but what everyone didn't know was that Yu Geng had an inner show, and everyone's attention to the generals of Daxuan was more focused on Chen Zhiqing, Quartz and others, and even the second-generation generals such as Xuansong and Huo Youji were more studied than Yu Geng, but he knew in his heart that this old boss had not tasted defeat since he joined the army, not because he was lucky, but because he was just soft and thoughtful, which is why most of the generals of the first generation of Daxuan took a back seat. Only he is still leading the frontline.

Yu Geng, Deng Ang, Huo Youji, these three people are directly faced by Yu Qingwu, Deng Ang and Huo Youji have all fought each other, and they are difficult opponents.

"General, our people are now gathered north of Changnan, and the king of Dongyang County sent someone to ask when to attack?" Pro-soldier report.

Yu Qingwu pondered for a moment and said: "Back to the king of Dongyang County, his army can send troops to Wuzhou, and we will meet under the city of Raozhou." ”

Yu Qingwu can't think too much, the Xuan army is still west of Yuzhang, and it can't threaten the Ning army for the time being, as long as it can successfully converge under Raozhou City, at least it can be invincible.

Just when his soldiers were about to go down, Yu Qingwu stopped him and said: "Inform General Zheng of Zhendong Mansion and ask him to help send troops to Raozhou." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, "General, General Zheng has always been unfriendly to us, will he agree to send troops?" ”

The pro-soldier said well, Zheng Xin has always been unhappy with Qingwu's courtesy and trust by the emperor, and even directly questioned Yu Qingwu's ability in the court, this is the court, Yu Qingwu is also very helpless, he asked himself that he has never had any entanglement with Zheng Xin, but the matter of competing for favor is not something he can control.

"You just have to report it, this is a national matter, we are just a personal vendetta, I believe that General Zheng has this pattern."

The soldiers didn't ask any more questions, but they were muttering in their hearts, "If Zheng Xin cooperates, it won't make the five states of Minhai come to such a point." ”

Daning's actions have already attracted Du Heng's attention, Du Heng informed Tang Yuan of the matter early, Tang Yuan's impression of Du Heng is average, but Du Heng is still admired for his own strength in the confrontation between Yuzhang and the Xuan and Ning armies without falling behind.

"What do you think of Du Heng's letter?" Tang Yuan turned his back to Xiang Xu and Tang Yao and asked questions in front of the geographical map.

Tang Yao is Tang Yuan's eldest son, he was called by Zhong Rou Ning as a personal soldier since he was a teenager, and he has been suppressing bandits in Fujian and the south all these years, and he has some credit.

Xiang Xu glanced at Tang Yao, but didn't speak, they are father and son, what can they say to be useful? That's his psychology.

Tang Yao said with a little excitement: "Father, it is obvious that Du Heng is asking us for help, but now the purpose of the Xuan army is very clear is to take Fuzhou and surround Yuzhang. ”

"The shaft is rude! Ravings! Are you a vegetarian when Ning Jun? Do you know what kind of person Yu Qingwu is?! "Tang Yuan is angry at his son's fearlessness, and secondly, he must have an attitude in front of Xiang Xu, Xiang Xu is a person trusted by His Majesty in the past two years, and he can't be offended.

Tang Yao was stunned on the spot, his father didn't give any face at all! I was about to argue for a few sentences, but I heard Xiang Xu say slowly: "Don't be angry, the young general is also kind, although it is a bit risky to march with a partial division, it is also a way, what do you say?" ”

Xiang Xu knew that Tang Yuan was looking for himself, Tang Yuan was the first to follow His Majesty to start, in terms of military command ability, in the entire Great Chu in addition to His Majesty and the King of Poyang, he counted him, Guangfeng County Gong Chu Dian once said that Tang Yuan's ability was not enough to defeat the Xuan and Ning armies, but even if the Xuan and Ning armies came to the best generals, it was difficult to bargain in his hands, in fact, Tang Yuan's exploits were enough to confirm what Chu Dian said.

Tang Yuan said after pondering: "Xiang Hou, it's not that the old man is unwilling to send a partial division to cruise, it is indeed that we are facing people like Yu Geng and Yu Qingwu, and Luantai has intelligence that Xiao Ze, the king of Dongyang County in Daning, is near Wuzhou, and once Wuzhou is broken, Raozhou is almost impossible to defend." ”

Xiang Xu thought for a moment and asked, "General, what do you think Yu Geng is thinking?" ”

Yu Geng, this is an old acquaintance, Yu Geng's temperament Tang Yuan still has some understanding, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "The old man had contact with Yu Geng when he was in the Mufu Mountain Alliance, and he had a conflict with Gan Ming, the general of the Ning Army, and the old man also helped, and his interest in Yuzhang now is estimated to be not as big as Hengyang." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiang Xu is interested, he is still interested in the past of these veterans, at least he can roughly analyze the temperament of these people.

"Hengyang was garrisoned by Yu Geng back then, and later after General Chu returned to our dynasty, Yu Geng wanted to take Hengyang many times but was blocked back, and now he is stationed in the Xingtan area, Hengyang is a thorn in his side, the Yuzhang war lasted for nearly a year, he barely paid too much attention to Yuzhang, but went back and forth to Changsha and Liling many times, and it can be seen that he is very eager for Hengyang." Tang Yuan said patiently.

Xiang Xu nodded and said, "General, but this time Yu Geng went to Jiujiang to support Huo Youji." ”

Tang Yuan was a little concerned about Xiang Xu's question, but still responded: "Yes, but he didn't bring too many people over, and it is said that he also went around Yuanzhou before coming, and the main force of the Tiger Army is basically still in Changsha." ”

"Yuan Zhou? What did he do in Yuanzhou? Xiang Xu said vigilantly, and then suddenly exclaimed: "General, isn't it just a pretense for Yu Geng to go to Jiujiang, and his goal is Fuzhou?!" ”

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment at first, this was a bold guess, but it seemed to be reasonable, he thought about it slightly, and asked sharply at Tang Yao: "You kid is in charge of the Tanma Military Division, is there any change in the Changsha Xuanjun?!" ”

Tang Yao was startled, and then hurriedly replied: "Father, Changsha Deng Ang is reorganizing the army in Changsha, but there is no sign of dispatch. ”

Tang Yuan touched his chin and began to think, looking at the geographical map in a daze, and then said: "Inform the army to stop advancing!" We're waiting in Xiajiang! Let the vanguard army quickly approach Fuzhou! ”

"General, where is Du Hou?" Xiang Xu thought that Tang Yuan was going to step up the march to Yuzhang, but Tang Yuan asked the army to stop, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while.

"Xiang Hou, what if Yu Geng's trip to Jiujiang was just a pretense? He may really be aiming at Fuzhou, once Fuzhou falls, Yuzhang will be a lonely city! ”

"Even so, wouldn't it be very difficult for Du Hou?" Xiang Xu still couldn't understand.

Tang Yuan exhaled and said: "As long as Fuzhou is still in our hands, the passage between Yuzhang and the imperial court will not be broken, so that we can continue to give Yuzhang support, if we also fall in, maybe we can only break through, now the large army is stopped in Xiajiang, if Yuanzhou's Xuanjun advances eastward, we can directly cut it off." ”

Xiang Xu thought for a while, and arched his hand: "The general is thoughtful, the last general understands, and the last general is willing to lead the vanguard army to Fuzhou to garrison!" ”

Tang Yuan refused without the slightest, not that he couldn't trust Xiang Xu, but in his eyes, Fuzhou was more important than Yu Zhang, and said: "Xiang Hou led the army to garrison Xiajiang, once the Xuan army moved, immediately send troops to intercept him, as long as he was sent back to Yuanzhou!" ”

Xiang Xu still wanted to fight, but Tang Yuan raised his hand to stop it, because Tang Yuan planned to go to Fuzhou by himself.

Tang Yuan's behavior made Xiang Xu shut up, no matter what, it was rare for Tang Yuan to put himself in danger, and then Xiang Xu respectfully saluted Tang Yuan: "The last general will definitely stick to the camp, not let the Xuan army go further, and ensure that the road is smooth!" ”

Tang Yuan licked his lips and said: "If the soldiers and horses in Changsha fight too fiercely, Xiang Hou can ask Hengyang Zhuo Xun for help, remember that the passage from the camp to Fuzhou must not be lost, and this lifeline must be saved at all costs!" ”

Xiang Xu solemnly said yes and slowly withdrew from the big tent, and the Tang father and son also followed out of the big tent and mounted the army.

Seeing that the pioneer battalion was preparing for the opening, Tang Yao wondered: "Father, will the Xuanjun really march into Fuzhou?" If they march into Fuzhou, won't Yuanzhou be empty? We can also take the opportunity to retake Yuanzhou, right? ”

Tang Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "You! Or the pattern is too shallow, Yuanzhou, Yuzhang, Fuzhou, Raozhou, Wuzhou and Jiujiang are a game of chess, Yuzhang, Jiujiang and Wuzhou are three points, our three parties are competing for contacts on the big lake, everyone could have been peaceful, Yu Qingwu pointed out that Wuzhou and Raozhou are actually going to knock out the east gate of Yuzhang, which is one of the reasons why we sent troops this time, and I am afraid it is also the reason why Yu Geng rushed to Jiujiang to supervise the war. ”

"We can't defend Wuzhou?" Tang Yao asked again.

"I just said that you are small, don't you understand? Yuzhang is a strong city, no one is sure to swallow it in one go, where can Wuzhou's troops withstand Daning's three-way army, and Yu Geng went to Yuanzhou In fact, he wanted to take Fuzhou and close the southern gate of Yuzhang, this time the Xuan army may have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Ning army. Tang Yuan said earnestly.

"So Yuanzhou is the west gate of Yuzhang, and now it has been occupied by the Xuan army, we must ensure that Fuzhou is not lost in order to make Yuzhang stable?"

Tang Yuan sighed and said: "Although you have made some contributions over the years, you are still a little worse than these old foxes, you have been in Hengyang, Zheng Xi, the general of the Xuanjun, you should have consulted, what do you think of Zheng Xi?" ”

The sudden exam questions made Tang Yuan not very adaptable, and he thought back to him and said: "Zheng Xi is cunning and intelligent, his son has fought with General Zhuo Xun many times, although they have their own wins and losses, it seems that Zheng Xi has not suffered too much loss." ”

"Well, do you see? Zheng Xi is not a very outstanding general in the Xuan army, and he is not at the same level as the veteran of Daxuan, but he is not the best among the younger generation, and the two of you can't take advantage of him, you can imagine what kind of person Yu Geng is, and Yu Qingwu was in contact with the person who foiled Quartz back then, do you think you can deal with it? ”

Tang Yao was stunned, he really hadn't thought about these things, his father was right, his vision was really not enough, he thought that he was already a leader of the younger generation in Dachu, but it was really nothing to take it out, but this also inspired Tang Yao to urgently want to face these so-called famous generals.
