Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 123: Know allies

The all-round attack aimed at tearing the Baitahe-Huangpi City-Xiongjiagang defense line will be delayed for a day or two, waiting for the fighter planes to be delivered from the hinterland of Jingxiang, but it is routine to carry out an offensive that continues to exert pressure on the enemy on this line of defense. Still won't stop.

On the contrary, Chen Zhu, Yu Wencheng, Zhang Jiheng, Zhang Gou and other front-base generals even used the battlefield dispatching power in their hands to increase the offensive against Baitahe, Huangpicheng, Xiongjiagang and other lines, thinking that the upcoming general offensive was warming up.

On the 20th, the Chaishan ambush was no longer a secret to the generals of the Huaidong Army. After all, before the general offensive, Lin Fu had to fully mobilize the entire army. In fact, from the 18th, the overall plan of Jingxiang's strategy was announced step by step from top to bottom, and the generals of the army were informed that there were 50,000 elites from Huaidong in the hinterland of Jingxiang waiting for them to join forces. Waiting for them to win the final victory together, to wipe out the Hulu and their lackeys who entered the Jingxiang area, and to reverse the strategic pattern of the confrontation between the North and the South in one fell swoop, there is probably no more directly inspiring and morale than this news... …

The logistical support of Huangzhou City in the entire front base camp, in addition to Zhao Hu leading the 10,000-strong forbidden battalion to stay behind, there are also larger-scale trainers, craftsmen and a large number of civilian officials who are responsible for transporting and manufacturing. Remaining in Huangzhou as the chief executive, Zuo Chengmu, as a military envoy, spent more time in Huangzhou city during the war.

The mobilization order issued by Lin Fu regarding the general offensive against the enemy forces in Jingxiang was not officially posted in Huangzhou City until the 20th, informing the civilian officials and workers and staff. It was also at this moment that Zuo Chengmu was informed by Fu Qinghe to Huai The true scale of the Eastern Army lurking in Chaishan.

"..."

At this moment, what else could Zuo Chengmu say, his eyes fixed on the map, even if he told Fu Qinghe the truth in person, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses would have to go directly from the old port in the northwest of Luzhou to cross the most dangerous Huaishan central vein and enter the eastern edge of Suizhou to lurk. It was something that Zuo Chengmu could not imagine.

It can only be said that Lin Fuwei has used a huge amount of unimaginable resources for this strategy, and designing this strategy to lure Yan Hu into the nest itself requires an imagination beyond ordinary people.

For this plan, Huaidong used such a huge amount of resources, and even staked the outcome of the battle of Jingxiang on this plan, placing great expectations on it. Will Lin Fuyan reveal this to himself in advance?

Zuo Chengmu's mood was extremely complicated at this moment, with inexplicable loss, depression, and worries for the people of Hu Wenmu who were guarding Jingzhou and the army and horses in Jinghu.

Even if he immediately sent someone to Jingzhou to announce the news and boost morale, it would take three days for the generals of Jingzhou to stick to the heart of the city and to reach the city of Jingzhou as soon as possible by water. According to Lin Fu's plan, the main force of Chaishan's troops and horses should go to attack Suizhou today. No matter whether they can successfully take Suizhou city or not, Huaidong's troops and horses lurking in the hinterland of Jingxiang will be delayed until three days later. It will only spread to Jingzhou - this means that Ye Ji Luorong on the west bank of the Han River will continue to attack Jingzhou in the dark during these three days.

The only good news is probably that even if Ye Ji Luorong captured Jingzhou City, he would not be able to slaughter the city: First, Ye Ji Luorong would not have enough time to slaughter Jingzhou City, and Ye Ji Luorong would have to break through in a short time. The encirclement formed by Huaidong on the front line of Fancheng is very difficult, and it is necessary to stay on the west bank of the Han River for a long time to control a intact Jingzhou city, which is more beneficial to the retreat of the Yanhu troops and horses on the west bank of the Han River.

As for the enemy troops on the east bank of the Han River, Zuo Chengmu really can't see that they have a chance to escape and ascend to life, maybe they will leak ten or twenty thousand in the end? Zuo Chengmu thought to himself, but he also knew that for the Jinghu Army, perhaps a few people such as Hu Wenmu would withdraw from Jingzhou at the last critical moment, but the main force of Jinghu Army was wiped out in Jingzhou City, Jingzhou and Jingzhou The outer cities were all withered and broken during the war, and Jiangxia and Ezhou on the south bank also exhausted their military potential due to the war, and the Jinghu forces have actually been half disabled since then...

Can you accuse Lin Fu of using a knife to kill, can you say that he is not? Zuo Chengmu was bitter, and he was speechless to confront Fu Qinghe for a while, but said: "I will immediately send someone to Jingzhou to announce the matter, so that it must stick to Jingzhou. , waiting for victory..." I secretly hoped in my heart: Hu Wenmu, Hu Wenmu, the left foot is for life, the right foot is for death, it depends on whether you can grit your teeth and hold on to this key for three days...

On the occasion of his return to Jiangzhou, Sun Wenbing took a detour to Qichun, informed Yue Lengqiu, Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and other members of the Chizhou army about the overall strategy of Huaidong, and ordered the Chizhou army to surround Fengshan, so that Chen Hansan could not escape. Chance.

Sun Wenbing passed the letter on behalf of Huaidong and left, leaving behind Yue Lengqiu, Deng Yu, and Yue Zhi who looked at each other in dismay and didn't know what to say.

After more than a month of restoration in Qichun City, some houses were able to handle official duties, so Yue Lengqiu moved the tent from the low and inconvenient tent to the renovated Qichun county government office.

At this time, the north wind is howling. At the end of mid-October, it is already winter, and it is getting cold outside, but Bailuweishuang has disappeared under the warm sun of early winter. It is noon and the weather is warm. Yue Lengqiu and Deng Yu and Yue Zhi had a lot of inexplicable emotions in the room.

Surprised, surprised that Huaidong was able to do this trick, and how much resources Huaidong had to invest in Luzhou to quietly send 50,000 soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Jingxiang before the war?

Fear, who can be against Huaidong after the Battle of Jingxiang? Who else in the world can control the elbow forest?

Resentment, resentment Lin Bie did not inform Qichun until the very moment, and also handed over a warrant to the Chizhou army to destroy Chen Hansan in Fengshan.

I suspect that all this is because Lin Bie wants to deceive Qichun, and there is no Huaidong ambulance in the hinterland of Jingxiang, but he induces the Chizhou army to fight Chen Hansan to the death...

"Is it possible that the secret envoy intends to hurt both the Chizhou Army and Fengshan Chen Hansan?" Yue Zhi was not so restrained in his speech in front of Yue Lengqiu, and he expressed the doubts in his heart. Send fifty thousand soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Jingxiang.

Yue Lengqiu closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "You guys go to the front base to prepare to fight the Wuyun River and Fengshan. Even if the news is not true, we will attack Fengshan after the Huaidong Army launched the general attack on Huangpi... …”

Lin Fu's total attack on the Baitahe-Huangpi-Xiongjiagang defense line has been in the past two days. Now it is not enough to send scouts and horses to the hinterland of Luzhou or Jingzhou for verification. - The Xiongjiagang defense line launches a general attack, then eight or nine are inseparable from ten.

Deng Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "How can the Chizhou army be considered a great victory..."

Yue Lengqiu nodded. It is said that some things should be thought through, but there are still many unwillingness at the end, so he is depressed, but he should also think through it.

After the defeat of Zongyang, the Chizhou army no longer had an independent position: it could not violate Lin Bie's overall strategic arrangement before; when the battle of Jingxiang was about to be victorious, it was even less able to obey Lin Bie's orders. Then they can only attack Chen Hansan's troops who are defending Fengshan according to Lin Fu's orders. No matter how bad it is, they must besiege Chen Hansan in Fengshan so that their troops cannot escape.

The meaning of Deng Yu's words is also obvious. As a general who leads troops, the desire for victory is stronger and more direct than intrigue...

Chen Hansan completely blocked his retreat in Jiangning. He would definitely struggle to the death, and he would definitely be trapped in a fight. The Chizhou army might suffer a lot of casualties, but for Deng Yu and other Chizhou army generals, it was time to think about it. In order to preserve their strength, it is better to use a hearty victory to wash away the shame brought about by the fiasco of Huinan and Zongyang, rather than being unable to pull it out from the external competition.

*****************

In Suizhou City, there was a team of about 5,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, the tail of the team had just walked out of the east gate. The team rushed along the post road in four columns, which stretched for more than two miles. The soldiers at the forefront carried blue and black flags and spread out in the wind, hunting and hunting; this was Luo Xiancheng's direct line of soldiers and horses who stayed behind in Suizhou. Once you go, it will be a point of no return, and it will be a death pit...

Luo Wenhu sent Zhou Sheng (dog left) to rush into Suizhou to ask for help, claiming that the king had betrayed, and led the Huaidong Army to sneak in from the front line of Fohouling, the central vein of Huaishan. Unprepared, he asked Wang Xiang to lead 3,000 enemy soldiers to capture the east city, but he led the defenders to hold on to the west city and did not retreat, please follow the state to help.

Luo Xianyi, Ma Zhen and others who stayed behind in Suizhou City were shocked when they heard Wang Xiang's betrayal, but they corresponded with Wang Xiang's words and deeds before the war, and they were immediately confirmed to be true.

They still couldn't imagine the possibility that the Huaidong Army would sneak into Chaishan on a large scale. Luo Xianyi was Luo Xiancheng's clan brother. How precipitous and twists are the Monkey Mountains, even if a team of one or two hundred people wants to cross the Buddha Monkey Mountain to Luzhou, it will take more than half a month to go around. With the cooperation of the Huaidong Army, thousands of troops and horses of the Huaidong Army lurked through the central vein of the Huaishan Mountains, peeping at the opportunity to divide troops to attack the weak points in the hinterland of Jingxiang, cut off the food route of Jingxiang, and disrupt the defense lines of Beiyan in all parts of Jingxiang.

As long as they do not realize that the Huaidong Army might transfer the entire troops stationed in Luzhou to the hinterland of Jingxiang, they will almost make the same judgments as Luo Xianyi and Ma Zhen-Luo Xianyi and Ma Zhen did not think that Luo Wenhu was already in a powerful position. Chaishan did not struggle to sell shares in front of his troops, and naturally he did not doubt that Luo Wenhu's sending people to ask for help was a lure and fraud scheme...

Lishan is located in the east of Suizhou, which is related to the flank of Suizhou and can threaten the back of the defense line at the northern foot of Huaishan.

Even if Ye Jiluorong successfully captured Jingzhou City to end the war on the west bank of the Han River, the war on the east bank of the Han River would continue for a long time, how could the hinterland east of Suizhou City be messed up by the lurking Huaidong Army ?

Luo Xianyi, even though Ma Zhen and his lieutenant, Shen Xiao, guarded Suizhou City, he personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Lishan for help.

In Luodian and Changling, which are at the turn of Lishan and Suizhou, Luo Wenhu led more than 2,000 people to disperse and rush towards Suizhou, pretending to be defeated from Lishan. The troops were one after the other, and the 5,000 reinforcements who had entered Suizhou City greeted...

The source of the Laihe River is one of the most important tributaries on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Huaishan River. In the first ten days of September, Ning Zechen led the Fengli Army's first sub-division, more than 10,000 elites, with the cooperation of the water camp, along the Huaihe River. The Luhe River, going up the Luhe River, went all the way to the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain, entered Xinyang City, and joined the Xinyang guards led by Meng Yan and Meng Zhixiang.

At the same time, Dong Yuan also personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to go out of Shouzhou, via Huoqiu, to recover Gushi, Huangchuan, Guangshan, Xixian, Luoshan and other cities east of Xinyang~www.wuxiaspot.com~濉River, Zhutang River, Shiyan River and other upstream tributaries of the Huai River all originate from the Huaishan North Vessel. These rivers are the main ditches that irrigate the fertile fields of Xinyang, and the upper valleys are also the passages through the Huaishan Mountains to the south of Suizhou.

In early July, Luo Xiancheng came out of Huaishan along these rivers and attacked the counties in the south of Xinyang, in order to contain the troops of Huaixi and Huaidong stationed in Luzhou. When Nanyang fell in September, Ye Ji Luorong led the main force south to attack Jingzhou, and Luo Xiancheng also led his troops to retreat south along these rivers, avoiding the steep mountains in the north of Huaishan, and sticking to the upper valleys of these rivers.

Because Luo Xiancheng operated Suizhou several years earlier than Dong Yuan, when Dong Yuan was in charge of Huaixi, almost the entire northern Huaishan Mountains fell under Luo Xiancheng's control. In the upper river valley, using the original cottage, the Beilu line of defense, which is more than 200 miles long and about 60 miles deep, has been established. Luo Xiancheng almost led 50,000 troops to fill this line of defense.

After the reinforcements led by Ning Zechen joined the Xinyang defenders, and Dong Yuan personally led the reinforcements into the front line of Huangchuan, the total number of troops at the northern foot of Huaishan was only 50,000. In addition, Tao Chun led his troops from the west of Guoyang. Moved, and Xiao Kuian, who guarded Zhengyang County on the north bank of the upper Huai River, worked together to contain Chen Zhihu and Tu'an's two enemy troops, with a total of only 50,000 troops.

Although the total number of troops and horses that entered Xinyang in mid-to-late September reached 100,000, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. In comparison, although the enemy troops on the northern front are relatively scattered, they have a slight advantage in strength, and the advantage of occupying the terrain is too obvious. Where the mouth is...

On the 20th, also on the same day, Ning Zechen sent people into Dong Yuan's camp in Huangchuan to announce the overall strategy of Huaidong... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
