Chapter 658: Zhuge on the World, Three Heroes or Five Tyrants
Leng Zhuocai stayed in the Weeping Blood Castle for two days, and then I hurriedly went straight to the Vermilion Bird Mansion, and the changing situation became more and more incomprehensible.
Vermilion Bird Mansion, Nanping County, Leng Zhuo is in the base camp of Suzaku Mansion in Chuzhou, most of the information obtained by Weeping Blood Fort now is graded here before it will be sent to Weeping Blood Valley for sealing, and the battle with the Holy Sect Army is also imminent, and from here, it is undoubtedly possible to get news of the war in the west faster.
Leng Zhuo's action this time, most of the generals summoned in Miao Country were brought with him, and he just put Gou Or in Weeping Blood Castle to familiarize himself with the operation of the territory, and planned to let him take charge of the government affairs of the territory.
Leng Zhuo did not march with the brigade, but directly rode his mount and flew over from the sky with Guo Jia, and it took a day to arrive at the general liquidation.
"Young master!" Leng Zhuo landed on the roof of the tube building in Nanping, went down the spiral staircase, entered the interior, and took directly to the staff staff office located in this tube tower, while Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Liu Bowen, Kong Mingchen, Xuan Chen and others who had just received the news were getting up and facing the outside to greet them.
"No need to be polite!" Leng Zhuo directly excused himself from the courtesy, walked straight into the office, and said: "This is Guo Jia, and he will be a member of the staff staff office in the future, I hope everyone can get along well!"
After a brief introduction, Leng Zhuo didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "I heard some news in the Weeping Blood Valley, but it's not comprehensive, who will give me a detailed explanation!"
Zhuge Liang, as the chief of staff, naturally stepped forward and said: "Back to the young master, after we synthesized the news we got from all over the place, and inferred from different situations, we have come to a ding. The general trend of the world!"
"Oh, let's hear it!"
"This has to start from after the new emperor ascended the throne in July, the new emperor ascended the throne, the major princes heard the wind and embraced their own troops, gave up the encirclement of Li Tang's rebels, and in the north, Prince You occupied half of Youzhou, won over the Phoenix Legion, and occupied a part of Zhongzhou, controlling the most capable border army of 200,000, sitting in Youzhou, in order to reject the new emperor!"
"To the west, the Prince of Liang occupied Liangzhou, and now has occupied most of Liangzhou, and controls the grain-producing Qinluo Hetao, which has Liangzhou iron cavalry, 300,000 soldiers and horses, and now has turned the direction and invaded Yongzhou.
"Prince Yong's Panmo, Youzhou, Liangzhou, and Zhongzhou, the smallest territory, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, also entered Yongzhou from the east to seize more territory!"
To the east, the king of Qingzhou led 100,000 troops south to Yangzhou, intending to occupy the granary of Yangzhou. Qian Cang, it can be said that although the four kings did not raise the anti-flag, they have already divided the world into several pieces, and the areas that the new emperor can control are only Yunzhou, Qingzhou North, Youzhou part, and Zhongzhou part!"
"The prince of the four roads, three of which are located in the northwest and north, the composition of the army is based on several large border regiments as the core, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the combat effectiveness is strong, and the three princes are now watching each other, each operating their own territory, obviously reaching a horizontal agreement, the strength is strong, and the new emperor wants to pacify this road. It was the hardest part, so he chose the south!"
"Qingzhou, is the land connection to the south of the Yangtze River, the salt in the middle of Qingzhou, the grain in the south, occupies a considerable proportion of the empire's finances, and the south of Qingzhou is the granary of the empire, the wealth of Yangzhou, the new emperor wants to pacify the world, it is inseparable from money and grain, and only rely on the north to produce itself, but it is unable to meet its own needs, of course, there is another point, that is, the combat effectiveness of Qingzhou soldiers and horses is far inferior to the northern soldiers and horses of the three northern states!"
"At the beginning of September, after Bai Qi, who was appointed as the general of Pingnan and the head of the Qingzhou camp, reorganized the Third Forbidden Army, he formed an army of 200,000 troops to go south to the Huaishui line with the local city defense army as the supplement, and confronted the Qingzhou army that forcibly occupied the Huaishui line!"
"The war is about to break out, Prince Qing is occupying Suzhou, after learning the news, he had to mobilize half of the soldiers and horses to transfer into Qingzhou, the two sides fought fiercely on the Huaishui line, and the fight was inextricable, because the Huaishui line was mountainous and watery, so the battle was half entangled together!"
However, the beginning of this battle suddenly ignited the relatively calm situation in the empire. In late September, in the mountainous area of Taishan, Situ Buer, a descendant of the former King of Thailand, raised the banner and sent troops from the east of Mount Tai to seize the land of several prefectures in the northeast of Qingzhou and break away from the imperial rule!"
"And in this series of changes in the situation, the spies we planted around Zhongzhou also sent back the news that the Li Tang Naval Division stationed in Heze Lake left the station, entered the Tianhe River and came upstream, and scattered in several ferries in Zhongzhou, and Li Tang's soldiers and horses are also frequently transferred, and several Zhichong Mansions placed on the front line of Qingzhou seem to have been transferred a lot of troops and horses, depending on the situation, it seems that there is a possibility of attacking Chuzhou again!"
"And in the territory of Chuzhou, Guangling, some of the fish that slipped through the net before also began to be active again, frequently attacking the villages, and to the west, it was the Holy Sect Army that suddenly raised the flag against the chaos, in just more than half a month, the counties and counties of Songling Mansion heard the wind and surrendered, and from the information we obtained, the Holy Sect Army is not a simple peasant rebel army, and the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers and horses is still above the Emperor of Chuzhou!"
"Especially since the other party has been operating for a long time, even the Rock Legion has several brigades and regiments that have defected in formation, and in the other divisions and regiments under the Rock Legion, no one can say for sure how many are Holy Cultists, so the Rock Legion has been placed in a secondary position, and it has also been guarded against, the army's morale has been shaken and unstable, and the combat effectiveness has been reduced by half!"
"And the latest information, the peace army of Jialin Mansion has arrived in Zhaohua County, and at present, the armies of all walks of life have quickly marched in place, and a new round of encirclement of the Holy Sect Army of Songling Mansion will soon begin!"
"Imperial Kyushu, now the only thing that is still stable is only Shu" basin, but Shuzhou is divided by mountains and rivers, living alone in the southwest, which has little impact on the overall situation of the world, and now on this chessboard, the new emperor, the prince of the four roads, Li Tang These six major forces are the main chess players in the world, and the rest, the Thai royal army, the holy army, Dongyi, Beihu and all kinds of nobles, local gate lords are interspersed among them, or attached to one side, or self-contained, or divided the place, forming the chaos of Kyushu in the world!"
"And now in Chuzhou, there are also several chess players playing against each other, the old force Huang family in Chuzhou, the current Chuzhou crusade envoy, the Chen family who controls the military power of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the new Holy Sect Army in the west, and us, the other is Bian Gui and the local gate valve, and immediately, once Li Tang's hand goes deeper, another one will be added!"
"Chuzhou will face a chaotic situation, and the final chessboard will evolve into two situations, the first is "the Three Kingdoms compete for hegemony, and the second is that you have me, I have him, and the princes coexist!"
"Oh?" Leng Zhuo was a little puzzled by what Ge Liang said about the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms and the coexistence of the Germanium Marquis, which three forces are these Three Kingdoms, and which princes are the coexistence of the Germanium Marquis?: "Why does the military advisor have such a judgment? Can't Chuzhou restore peace?"
"Which one will it be, the battle in front of us will be a turning point, if it wins, the three major forces are the three marquis to fight for hegemony, if it is defeated, it will be formed, Li Tang will go south, the Holy Sect army will expand rapidly, and we will seize the southeast, control the Suzaku Mansion, and form a situation where the three kingdoms will fight for Chu!"
"Of course, there is another kind, the point is to win, Li Tang is still going south, and the Huang family, the Chen family is increasingly estranged from us, coupled with the local self-respect, thus forming a situation where several heroes are strong and divided, and there is defeat, we occupy the southeast, Li Tang occupies the north, the Huang family, the Chen family occupies the Vermilion Bird, Xiaoxiang Mansion, and the Holy Sect Army occupies the west of Chuzhou, and the south, the nobles are self-contained, entrenched in the southwest, and it is also a situation where the princes coexist. ”
"Oh, then, according to the military advisor, which one and the situation are the most beneficial for us!" Leng Zhuo asked.
"The most beneficial? No matter which situation is for us, there are advantages and disadvantages, but our opinion is that we should consolidate Nanxing Mansion, control Dawan, Nanlin, Shanglin, and the southeast of Suzaku Mansion, if we ensure the smooth transportation of Xiangshui and Poyang seawater, stabilize ourselves, and step up the training of soldiers and horses, and slowly map the four places, I believe that it will not take two or three years, Chuzhou Erping!"
"And the young master can still have a strong team of 100 battles!" Zhuge Liang finally added.
Leng Zhuo nodded, but this strategy is a safe strategy, first lay a solid foundation and gather money and food. Temper the elite soldiers, and then attack with heavy punches, and after that, the ground will be stable, and there will be a safe rear, so that you can Dragon Kyushu and seize the highest position!
"In addition, the young master's top priority also needs a justifiable name, the young master is still just an idle marquis after all, although he has the position of a logistics transfer envoy, but it is difficult to show his strength, the young master might as well write a letter, to the northern court, to express his allegiance, and to spread the situation in Chuzhou to the imperial capital, I think the young master will have some surprises!"
When Leng Zhuo heard this, he nodded even more, although the empire is divided, but after all, it is an empire of hundreds of years, although the building is about to fall, but this has not yet fallen, this righteousness is still in his hands, and with the help of this righteousness, Leng Zhuo's expansion will be much smoother.
Although he participated in the struggle for military power before, these soldiers and horses did not become soldiers and horses that Leng Zhuo could assign and transfer at will, if it weren't for the fact that those generals and Leng Zhuo were one, Leng Zhuo would at most infiltrate some influence, and in the end, whether he could move these soldiers and horses was still a question.
But Leng Zhuo doesn't have to worry about whether these soldiers and horses will be obedient, but he has one less banner, and in the end he gathers these soldiers and horses under his banner, what banner should he play when the time comes, and seal one himself, what is the difference between raising a flag and rebelling.
"This matter must be done as soon as possible!"
Leng Zhuo did not go to the front line of Xiyan Mansion in person, because he, the marquis, was just an idle marquis, and he didn't have many duties, so he rushed over, but it was annoying, so it was better to sit and watch the situation change, and make a plan, and he had a plan. (To be continued.)
