Once the tactics are set, the next step is to deploy troops.

Yang Kai, the defender of Suizhou, did not plan to move for the time being, and the soldiers and horses besieging Wuchang and plundering Yuezhou had to be sent from De'an, Yunmeng, and Xiaogan.

Since entering the lake, 6,000 new recruits have been recruited, they have little training, they have no combat experience, and their combat effectiveness is generally low.

Yang Kai held his knife and looked left and right, and issued an order: "Cao Mang's headquarters in De'an, leave Yan Feng with a thousand people to defend the city, and the rest rush to the Xiaogan military camp." 6,000 new soldiers, 2,000 were allocated to assist De'an in defending the city, and the remaining 4,000 men also went out with Cao Mang. ”

Deng Fang and Yanhou have the responsibility of responding to the city, and they cannot be transferred, and they still have important tasks, "Attack Yuezhou Mansion and other places, with General Cao as the main general." Take 2,000 old soldiers, 2,000 new soldiers into the camp, plus 2,000 new soldiers, to attack the eastern part of Hanyang.

General Ben personally led the army to attack, accompanied by Hu Qianhu. He brought hundreds of old soldiers from his headquarters, plus 3,000 new soldiers in the camp before and after. Xiaogan fulcrum, please Yin Zuochan guarded. In this operation, the focus was on attacking the city, ignoring the military and politics, and breaking the city only to obtain food and plunder. ”

Although the order is issued like this, military discipline must still be observed, ignoring the military and politics is not the same as doing nonsense, Yang Kai said ugly words in front, in the rush of the army, violators of the order will be beheaded.

In addition, the territory that has been beaten down cannot be thrown away at will, or use the strategy proposed by Fang Zuoshuang at the beginning, plunder a strong man per household, take it away, and leave fewer garrison military horses in the city.

Yin Zuochan proposed to go to the west of Hanyang on behalf of Yang Kai.

This time the western operation of Hanyang is related to the occupation of Hanyang, Wuchang and Yuezhou, Yang Kai wanted to do it himself, but what Yin Zuochan said is also very reasonable, Xiaogan connects Yingcheng, De'an, Hanyang East and West Four Sides War, Yang Kai is not deployed in the middle, it is difficult to stabilize the generals, it is even more difficult to stabilize the army's heart, so he can only reluctantly agree.

Set a time and spend two days to deploy grain and grass armaments for the first battle in Hanyang.

During this period, the surrounding city of De'an Prefecture was suspended, and special attention was paid to the movements of Chengtianfu, and he concentrated on intelligence and city defense.

lest they be called into the backyard and cut off their long front.

In addition, the messenger who delivered the military newspaper from the direction of Yingcheng at night informed Yingcheng that the city had been pacified, and that the army had gone out of the city on the first day to sneak into Chengtian, and chose three positions for self-interested combat.

Look out the window, it's dark at night. The meeting was adjourned. Yang Kai sent the generals out of the door, and everyone got on their horses one after another, saying goodbye and returning home.

Only then did he personally write a reply letter, informing Deng Fangbu that in addition to selecting the geographical location for self-interested operations, it was also necessary to pay attention to the reconnaissance of the surrounding villages and towns in Jingshan County outside the mountain passes, wait for the combat order to be issued, and go out to build a feint.

The remodeled official office has finally returned to the quiet appearance that it should have at night.

Qin Chuanzong was able to endure it, and all day long, Yang Kai ignored him, and he stayed until the night, waiting until many things were settled, and then let people report and ask to see him. Yang Kai had also been waiting for him for a long time.

Since he left the Qin family's mansion that night, Qin Chuanzong has also sent a daughter over, wanting to serve him and get closer, and there has been no other movement.

No matter how busy Yang Kai was preparing for the Hanyang War, he could also keenly feel the problems involved, knowing that Qin Chuanzong still had concerns in his heart.

Was he frightened by his questioning that night? Yang Kai didn't believe this, as a businessman who could do such a big business, although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he shouldn't have the courage to do so.

Welcoming him in today, it can be regarded as seeing what hole cards he still has in his hand, after all, he has been rooted in the lake for generations, and he should be very familiar with the water and land routes for business.

On the first day of entering Xiaogan, Qin Chuanzong got on the line with Yang Kai with a text, but this only narrowed the relationship with Yang Kai.

Other people, listening to what he did before, all those who boasted of being righteous and Bo Yuntian, all saw him not spitting twice, and he really couldn't get anyone's respect.

But these Qin Chuanzong didn't care, he only cared about Yang Kai's attitude towards him, after all, in the final analysis, this army was headed by Yang Kai, and he didn't plan to have too much intersection with those soldiers who couldn't read a few big characters.

However, in the end, he still had less foresight than his youngest daughter, and he thought that the Su Fu'an Department that would come down to attack the city was very different from the rumored Liukou, and he was already the main army under Yang Kai.

I never thought that the generals who had arrived on the march in the past two days showed more military quality, especially the people in charge of the army, one was more fierce than the other, and they were even more desperate for Yang Kai, so that outsiders had no chance to take advantage of it, and the armaments and even gunpowder were transported to the city one by one.

The heart became more and more frightened, if he couldn't know Yang Kai's accurate attitude today, even if he went back at night, he would not be able to sleep and eat.

Above the middle hall, Yang Kai sat upright, and Qin Nange was serving with tea on the side.

Today, she changed into a simple dress, not like Fandai, with a cloud hairpin, seriously, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but she was very enthusiastic about Yang Kai.

Qin Chuanzong entered the hall, he was stunned at first, he didn't expect that she could live so well, and then he hurriedly knelt down and shouted:

"The villain meets the general!"

Yang Kai frowned slightly, pretending not to see his intentions, and asked, "Mr. Qin, please get up, I don't know why Mr. is so late and doesn't go back to rest?" Miss Qin, pour tea for your father. ”

Qin Chuanzong was no longer as restrained as he was when he first met, and after obeying the order, he slowly got up and sat down gently in the seat given by Yang Kai. Qin Nange didn't have any dissatisfaction, he walked slowly, came up with a cup of tea, and returned to Yang Kai's side generously.

Not only did she not resist, but she even enjoyed this feeling, her father, who had been kneeling down and enduring beating and scolding for more than ten years, was now so groveling in front of her, which made Qin Nange feel like never before, and her heart was blocked, and it was very smooth.

Qin Chuanzong raised his eyes nervously, he couldn't see the relationship between the two clearly, showed a puzzled look, hurriedly picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"When the villain was conducting a military exercise during the day, he suddenly remembered one thing, and felt that it should be of great benefit to the general, and if he didn't say it today, he might have trouble sleeping."

"Oh?!"

Yang Kai continued to pretend to be stupid, showing a surprised expression, and asked, "What is it that makes Mr. Qin think about it so much?" ”

Qin Chuanzong immediately replied: "Tell the general, I heard in the villain a few days ago that a group of rebels had also risen in the villain's hometown of Changsha Prefecture, Linwu, Blue Mountain and other places.

The leader's name is Guo Zinu, who was born as a miner, and most of the people around him are poor miners, rampant in Xiangtan, Xiangxiang and other places.

The villain had the courage to watch the generals' camp, the generals and soldiers, everyone was brave and good at fighting, but when attacking the city, there was no fire gun and other weapons, and they all relied on the brave warriors to fight in the city, and built the road to break the city with flesh and blood.

The general went south to Hanyang, sat in Yuezhou, Wuchang, and then went south to Changsha Prefecture, if he could make a virtuous order, such as Guo Zinu, the sporadic mine disciple righteous department, to vote for my military camp,

Not only can we strengthen our army, but we can also get this group of people who are familiar with the use of gunpowder, and make firearms and use them on the battlefield, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"Sir's words, if it is really a big thing, it will be of great benefit to our army."

Previously, Yang Kai was still hesitating, whether this Changsha Mansion would fight or not, even if the west side of Hanyang and Yingcheng would feint and create a situation of danger for everyone in Chengtian Mansion, it was only a temporary move after all, not a long-term solution.

As long as Wuchang falls, Chengtian will definitely know that he has been tricked, and he will be angry and angry, and he will press the army over, at this time, it is the most important node for them to enter the lake to fight.

If they go south to Yuezhou and continue to fight in the south, De'an, Suizhou and other places will cut off contact with the former army.

In this way, it can echo the end of the defenders in De'an Mansion, and trap the officers and troops who are coming from the east to attack the front and back, but there is a prerequisite for all this.

The two prefectures of Yuezhou and Changsha, at least the Yuezhou Mansion, should be captured with the power of thunder as their solid rear resources to supplement their strongholds. If Changsha can be taken, of course, it will be better, and the situation in Huguang will become even more chaotic.

Yuezhou he has discussed this hole card, adding a lot of confidence, but this Changsha Mansion, the land is too big, and the life is not familiar, it is inevitable to worry that it will take too long, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Now what Qin Chuanzong said, if it is true, it is really like having God's help, it is all this, it seems to be a matter of course, but it is too much of a coincidence, and Yang Xingxing is inevitably puzzled.

"It's just that Mr. Qin is far away in De'an, and Linwu and Lanshan are not Mr. 's hometowns, so how can he be so familiar with what happened in Changsha?"

Qin Chuanzong hurriedly said: "The little puppet will collect a batch of grain from the hands of the mine thieves in his hometown, and sell it to Jiangnan by water, and the people who take this trade route are all old brothers, and the price is also set according to the actual local situation, so ......"

"I see."

Yang Kai nodded, Qin Chuanzong's remarks made complete sense, plus before the uprising, they were doing this, so they were naturally familiar with this kind of business of buying mineral land.

"Mr. Qin said this earlier, isn't it better than playing those little cleverness that gives away his daughter and sells himself? In the end, he lost his wife and broke his army. ”

Qin Chuanzong was relieved, nodded his head, and then took a long sigh of relief and took another sip of tea.

In the evening, Yang Kai deliberately did not split Qin Nange, just to create more psychological pressure on Qin Chuanzong, so that he could speak cautiously and not be clever.

Now it seems that it has indeed achieved results, and the effect is really good.

"There is another thing, the general has been very headache recently, when he is also building for the armament, the villain's hometown of Chaling is a place rich in iron ore, and he is willing to lead the way for the general to get it."

After a few days, it was finally not in vain, and he said that Yang Kai was talking about the three major problems that Yang Kai urgently needed to solve at the moment, and he was overjoyed and laughed:

"Then there is Mr. Lao Qin, after staying in Hanyang, Mr. Feng, the general of this general, will be the deputy envoy of my supervising business command, and he will be in charge of our military and commercial affairs.

However, before that, please ask Mr. Qin to write a recruitment order for our army. ”
