Chapter 250: Great Unification: Miscalculation
"Hu Shuai, Your Majesty's holy car has arrived in Yuezhou, do we want to greet you?" The guard beside Yu Geng reminded.
Yu Gengnunu mouthed, thought for a moment and said: "No need, Your Majesty is here for the affairs of the East China Sea this time, the Daokou agreement has been signed, and there will be no large-scale conflict between us and Jinling in the short term, and it is estimated that the sailors will take the lead in the next few years." ”
The people around him nodded as if they didn't understand, he resolutely obeyed Yu Geng's decision, Ye Bohuai and Chen Zhiqing rarely appeared in front of everyone due to illness or even some other reasons in Daxuan, and Yu Geng was the only one who continued to lead the troops, and the area actually controlled by the Tiger Army occupied almost one-third of Daxuan, whether it was the court or the local officials, they were afraid of Yu Geng.
Yu Geng looked at the gloomy weather, seemed to smell the breath of war, his eyes gradually became deep, and then said in a muffled voice: "Gather the generals, and you must rush to Changsha at the end of February!" ”
"Obey the commander's order!" The guards were slowly retreating, and they were suddenly stopped by Yu Geng and said, "Inform Jiaolong Xia Wenyu to come over too!" ”
The guards were stunned for a moment, although the Jiaolong Army was begging for a living in the defense area of the Tiger Army, but it did not have any affiliation, Yu Geng's such a strong order might make Jiaolong uncomfortable, and when he was about to remind him, he thought about it, what courage did a group of generals dare to disobey the order of the tiger commander.
After Meng Yan arrived in Yuezhou, he suddenly stopped and did not continue to go south, all the generals were sent to their respective positions, he refused the request of Tan Ji and others to follow, since he led the troops, he has hardly acted alone, this time he acted on his own, although he brought many guards with him.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, the tiger marshal suddenly summoned the generals above the command of the Tiger Mansion and the commander of the Jiaolong Army to gather in Changsha." The people of the White Clothes Temple were expressionless and reported without any emotion.
The words seem to have no emotion, but in fact they are all suspicions, Meng Yan did not correct his attitude, the National Security Institute is a spy organization on the surface, and the Baiyi Temple has never appeared in front of everyone in an official name, although everyone knows the existence of the Baiyi Temple, these people live in the sun, but their hearts are full of darkness, they are only loyal to Meng Yan alone, and in their eyes everyone except Meng Yan is worthy of suspicion.
Meng Yan is at ease with Yu Geng, he believes that Yu Geng will not do anything out of the ordinary, but he does want to see what Yu Geng wants to do, this old thing knows that he will not come to Yuezhou to meet him, but instead summons the generals to gather in Changsha, if it is not for Meng Yan's trust in him, this alone can convict Yu Geng of rebellion.
"Well, just keep an eye on it, don't disturb the military orders of the Tiger Mansion, this is someone's place, and they have their own reasons for what the Shuai Mansion does."
The people from the Baiyi Temple left, Meng Yan took a sip of the tea newly sent by Junshan, which tasted sweet and good, and then picked up the teapot and slowly walked to the geographical map, looking at the various small flags thoughtfully.
Meng Yan drank tea at the spout while putting Huo Youji from the position of Jiujiang to Luochen for a while, then shook his head, and put the flag representing Huo Youji from Luochen to Longxi, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his gaze to the coast with satisfaction, the entire coastline of Daxuan only represented Yu Geng and Xia Wenyu's flags, and the Tiger Army and the Jiaolong Army on the coastline were staggered.
The foundation of the Jiaolong Army is mainly composed of the sailors formed by Su Qing and the old division of Du Heng and some of the original sailors of the Chu Army, and it is not a problem to argue about the combat power to defeat the water thieves, but in the face of the strong strength of the East China Sea Division, the strength of the East China Sea Division is not at the same level, Meng Yan asked the cardinal to evaluate the combat power of the world's water divisions, because the Central Plains has been able to develop the East China Sea for many years, and the entire sea has been ravaged by the East China Sea.
However, with the development of time, the civil strife in the Central Plains gradually escalated, and the Zhong clan also embarked on the ranks of the Central Plains to dominate the Central Plains, and if you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, you must have a strong army, so the naval division is slowly abandoned, which allows the East China Sea to seize the opportunity to occupy the sea.
Meng Yan began to worry, according to Xiao Yu's character, it is absolutely impossible to bow to the people of the East China Sea, Xiao Ze was transferred back to Dongyang is the best proof, Xiao Yu is estimated to want to launch a large-scale attack on the East China Sea, and want to finish his work in one battle, and permanently solve this external trouble.
No, you can't let Xiao Yu go down this road, this is not the time to talk about grievances, I have to remind him, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to use his chess pieces in Daning, Yu Shengtang, which was buried many years ago, and he didn't want to use them to do anything at the beginning, but with the growth of power and power and the inseparable family affection, they were finally included in the Baiyi Temple.
Meng Yan put down the teapot and was about to summon someone in, suddenly a person from the white-clothed temple hurriedly came in, with a solemn expression, Meng Yan thought that there was a problem in Changsha or Chengdu, but he noticed that Meng Yan's brows immediately frowned, the person who came was from Yu Shengtang, and he began to feel uneasy.
"Your Majesty! Big things are not good! Xiao Ze, the king of Dongyang County, Daning, was defeated in the East China Sea, and he disappeared, and the Daning Navy Division had retreated inland! ”
Meng Yan stumbled, it was still here that should have come, the Daning Naval Division was defeated, once the East China Sea people entered the Central Plains, many things were uncontrollable, Guanwai, Liaodong, Qilu and even the entire sea area had no combat power, and the Jiaolong in Fujian alone was not enough to resist the East China Sea Division, and he also instantly understood Yu Geng's intention to summon the crowd to Changsha.
Meng Yan thought that he still had enough time to plan, but now the situation seems to be beyond his judgment, this time he miscalculated, he quickly sorted out his thoughts, things have happened, it is too late to remedy, I am afraid that now the sailors of the East China Sea have arrived in Fujian, and the loss of the coast of Fujian is irreversible.
"Leave for Changsha now! Summoning Huo You's illness to Raozhou as soon as possible! Meng Yan quickly gave an order, and a figure flashed and went out.
Then the people who looked at Yu Shengtang thoughtfully, and said after a while: "You hurry back to Yu Shengtang, tell Meng Jinghai, let him go to see Xiao Yu in my name, and tell him that my opinion is to shrink the water division into the inland river as soon as possible, and let the people of the East China Sea come in to fight!" ”
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yu has already given an order for the Daning Navy Division to assemble at the mouth of the sea to counterattack the East China Sea within half a month. ”
Meng Yan closed his eyes and sighed, this eldest brother was too hard-tempered, and said a little decadently: "You rush back as soon as possible and tell Meng Jinghai that you have done your best to obey the destiny of heaven, and you can save one point." ”
After Yu Shengtang's people left, Meng Yan immediately came to the geographical map of mountains and rivers and looked at Fujian, he hoped in his heart that the coastline of Fujian had not been breached, but this hope was slim, Jiaolong's deployment was clear to him, if there was no surprise attack in the East China Sea, according to this arrangement, the development of the Great Xuanshui Division would be no less than the Dongyang Zhong clan in the past ten years, but now he didn't dare to think about it and didn't want to think about it.
Yu Geng may have felt the killing intent and uneasiness to summon the generals to Changsha, but it was also such a decision that Jiaolong's sailors and generals were far away from the coastline, and Yu Geng's decision opened the door to Fujian, but fortunately, it saved the lives of a few sailor generals, and it was really hard to say whether it was joy or sorrow for a while.
However, Meng Yan's car arrived in Changsha in a day and a half, Yu Geng was not surprised, only a face of vicissitudes, Meng Yan felt a sigh in his heart, Yu Geng has always been arrogant, and he has hardly seen him with such an expression.
Unable to care about the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, Meng Yan hurriedly walked over and said, "Tiger, is it Fujian?" ”
Yu Geng said miserably: "Your Majesty! The minister miscalculated, and the minister is willing to take all the responsibility! ”
Hearing this, Meng Yan didn't have to worry, he had already thought of this result, and now he was relieved to hear the exact news, patted Yu Geng's shoulder and said: "Tiger, this is not your fault, we all miscalculated, no one thought that the people of the East China Sea were so bold, you did your best, at least the generals of Jiaolong are here, they are still in our Jiaolong!" Let's go, let's go inside! ”
Meng Yan walked into the Tiger Shuai tent, Deng Ang, Xia Wenyu and the others all had sad faces, seeing Meng Yan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on his knees, they were pleading, Meng Yan waved his arm to make them get up, there was no point in pursuing it.
"Tiger, how many soldiers and horses are there in Fujian now? Who's in charge? ”
"Your Majesty, the general of Fujian is still preparing, and now there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Jiaolong Army and a garrison of more than 30,000 people in the three prefectures, plus the patrol battalions and Wuwei battalions in various places are estimated to have more than 50,000 people, but there are no generals who can command the armies for the time being, and the nearest is the Luling General's Mansion."
"General Luling? Du pre? Meng Yan felt more and more uneasy, it was really a step by step.
Yu Geng was slightly embarrassed, since the Great Chu was driven out, neither the imperial court nor the Tiger Mansion had paid too much attention to Jiangyou's garrison, after all, Daxuan's front line was in Heluo, Jingxiang, Ronggui and other places, and Jiangyou was only the hinterland, so in order to appease the Chu army who surrendered to Cheng, so Du Yu was made the general of Luling.
Meng Yan looked around, and then decisively said: "Tiger, you quickly organize your troops and march eastward, Huo Youjian is estimated to have rushed to Raozhou, let him lead people to take the lead into Fujian, his speed is fast, stabilize the situation first." ”
Yu Geng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has completed the whole army, and if you don't come today, the minister plans to lead the army eastward, but I'm afraid it won't work now." ”
Meng Yan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Why can't we go east? ”
"Your Majesty, just before you entered the city, Rong Gui came with news that Rong Gui had an abnormality." Yu Geng's face was helpless.
"Rong Gui? The three Zhong sisters? Meng Yan felt that it was unlikely, Zhong Roulan was in Jinling now, no matter what, the three Zhong sisters were from the Central Plains, so they would not be in the same stream as the East China Sea.
Yu Geng shook his head and said: "It's not the Zhong clan, it's the old ministers of the Chong clan, they have gathered a lot of wingmen in the mountains at the junction of the two Guangzhou, and they have been attacking our city since last month, although most of them have been repulsed, but the destructive power is extremely strong, our garrison is miserable, and if it goes on like this, there will be a big problem in the south." ”
"Chong's?! Hum! They really pick the time, it's not a coincidence, it's premeditated, the work of the people of the East China Sea is done carefully! Meng Yan sighed, he was still too arrogant, and his contempt for the East China Sea for thousands of years had created the crisis in the Central Plains today.
Then Meng Yan made up his mind and said: "Tiger, Rong Gui can't afford to lose, these people are more difficult to deal with than the people of the East China Sea, only your thunder power can suppress it, you go to Rong Gui." ”
"What about Fujian?" Yu Geng raised doubts.
"It's okay, Huo Youjian can support at least three months, I will transfer people from near Chengdu, and Jiang You's soldiers and horses will at least not make the situation worse."
"Your Majesty, are you planning to use Qingshuai? Or Ye Shuai? ”
Meng Yan shook his head, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "Liang Guogong, Lu Ping!" ”
