As Sun Ning and several important ministers decided to go south and then north, and after the overall strategy of Yang plotting and dividing, the Dayue court, which had been calm for three years, and the entire place under his rule began to have a series of big moves.

The grain of Huguang, the goods of Jiangnan, and all kinds of weapons and armor that had been built and stored for three years had been continuously transported to the north under the arrangement of the imperial court.

As for the army of soldiers and horses, there is also the appearance of constantly mobilizing and gathering, especially in the Lianghuai area, because it is closer to Liangzhou and other places in the Central Plains, the mobilization of soldiers and horses is naturally more and more frequent.

Here it is necessary to talk about the current military system of the Dayue Imperial Court.

Because after all, half of the country is not under control, and the wars are not as frequent as in previous years, and there is no need to have hundreds of thousands of troops on guard at all times, so a few years ago, Sun Ning made the will to disband and unload seventy percent of the official army and let them go to Jiangnan and other places to start their own families.

Compared with ordinary people, the rewards and benefits received by these unarmored soldiers and horses are amazing.

Not only did they have the fame and power of scholars in the countryside, but they also had access to about ten acres of fertile land for their families to cultivate, and even their taxes were only half of that of ordinary people.

And all they have to pay is to wait for the court to summon at any time, and to practice once every half month.

has both real benefits and fame, so that even if they temporarily withdraw from the team, these soldiers still maintain absolute loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court.

Therefore, when the imperial court issued an order at this time, almost all the soldiers were quickly returned to the various armies, so that they could assemble into a large army in a short time, and according to the instructions of the upper peak, they could either go south or north, and prepare for the next battle.

Such a huge transfer of materials and personnel, in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, whether it is officials and businessmen, or ordinary people, or even other parties who have planted spy eyeliner in various parts of the south, they will recognize one thing, that is, the Dayue Imperial Court is really going to officially use troops to the north.

As a result, people from all over the world took this opportunity to make a big move, and the merchants even took advantage of this to cooperate with the government to help transport a huge amount of materials to the front, until all of them were hoarded on the Central Plains with Liangzhou City as the core.

It can be said that in the next month or two, on the water and land routes from the two Huai to the Central Plains, vehicles and ships loaded with supplies could be seen everywhere moving at full speed, sending enough food, armor, weapons, and other materials to the north that were enough to make countless people astonishing.

In contrast, the fact that some wealthy men and horses were quickly sent to the south, and some coastal cities in the south began to build shipyards, and gathered 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses to go to sea for training, has long been selectively ignored by all parties. m.

This is also a helpless thing, who let the people and horses going to the north be too eye-catching, look at this posture, when the imperial court really wants to move troops this time, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands of people.

Compared with the two, the move of 20,000 or 30,000 people to the south is really not worth mentioning at all.

And with so many materials sent into the Central Plains, not all of them were stored in Liangzhou City, but under the order of the imperial court, they went north for a while, and some of the materials were tuned into Nanyang, which was originally an extremely important granary of the Central Plains.

Subsequently, some of the materials were quickly sent to Yicheng and Xingcheng, which were closer to the direction of Xingyang, and at the same time, there were one or two thousand soldiers and horses as vanguards.

Obviously, this is the imperial court telling everyone with practical actions that they are going to attack Xingyang next, and these two small cities with a population of only one or two hundred thousand will become an important support point for the march.

The next imperial army will launch a full-scale offensive against Xingyang and even Luoyang in the rear with Liangzhou-Nanyang-two county towns as the overall route.

As for Kaifeng City, which was already on the rear side, it seemed that it had been completely ignored by them.

Therefore, when such information was transmitted to Luoyang City one after another, it was unrealistic to say that Zhao Guangxiao and the others did not feel shocked.

In their eyes, this is clearly a clear proof that Kaifeng Qin Yude has completely fallen to the imperial court.

Otherwise, how could the Dayue Imperial Court really ignore the side and back roads, and just concentrate on moving forward and focusing on Xingyang?

Perhaps, when the time comes to war, Xingyang will no longer face the army from the front line of Liangzhou, but also the Kaifeng defenders from its own side!

"Father, we can't do this anymore, we have to do something!" Zhao Qianhui said with a serious expression, "Otherwise, not only will we encounter a two-way attack, but the morale of the whole army will inevitably suffer a big setback, even if you want to defend Xingyang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed." ”

"I know, I know......" Zhao Guangxiao responded in a low voice, but his brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes fell on a letter from Kaifeng next to him.

In this letter, Qin Yude said bluntly that all this was a ploy of the Dayue Imperial Court, just to provoke contradictions between the two sides. As long as the two sides trust each other and defend each other, they are not afraid that they can really break this horn and defend each other!

But the question is, in the current situation, can he still believe this letter?

Zhao Qianhui also glanced at the letter, and said angrily: "Father, how can Qin Yude's nonsense still be believed? He was delaying time for the south, just thinking about waiting for them to make all arrangements, and the army would come over, and then attack with all his might.

"The only chance we have now is to send troops before this."

"I know......" Colonel Zhao Guang replied with the same sentence again, and then smiled bitterly, "Then you say, even if I want to send troops, should I send troops to that side?"

"Is it Kaifeng, or the small city in the south, and the cities such as Nanyang behind it?"

This question really stopped Zhao Qianhui, he really didn't think about this aspect carefully.

In comparison, it is naturally easier to fight those small cities in the south, and there must be abundant supplies there, but Kaifeng is more important and closer to home.

If you only fight those small cities, once you wait until Luoyang Xingyang is empty, Kaifeng suddenly sends troops to attack, what should you do?

As for the reverse, it seems that the situation is the same. And with the prosperity of the imperial court, I am afraid that the threat of being attacked by the Kaifeng army is greater.

Zhao Guangxiao looked at his eldest son with a wry smile: "Now you know that this matter is difficult to decide, right?" If you stick to it, there may be a chance to win, but if you take the initiative and win the city smoothly, it will be fine, but once you make a mistake, the consequences will be unbearable. ”

At this moment, a subordinate hurried over again, and as soon as he saw them, he quickly reported: "General, there is an urgent report from the front-line scouts, saying that Kaifeng Qin Yude suddenly led the army in person and headed straight for Yicheng in the south!" ”

"What did you say?"

The father and son were surprised at the same time, and only asked after a while, thinking that they had just heard the wrong details.

Some people died, but not completely......
