Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 63: blind spot

When Yue Lengqiu and Tang Xitai traveled to Duchang, they caught up with the heavy rain and the wind surged on Poyang Lake. It was difficult for a while to cross the lake to Yuzhang, so they stopped in Duchang.

Duchang City is located at the estuary where Changhe River enters Poyang Lake. Zhou Tong led Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi to temporarily rest in Duchang, making the northern deserted beach of Duchang City seem like another camp city.

In the stone port at the mouth of the river, dozens of troop transport ships were moored; at this time, there were another troop transport ship heading south in the rain and entering the river port - watching so many troop transport ships assembled to Duchang, Yue Lengqiu could also know Lin The idea of ​​​​binding has been decided, and the main force of the Chongcheng army is about to be transferred, but it is not known whether it will be transferred to Jiangzhou or another place.

Since Yue Lengqiu wanted to rest in Duchang to avoid the heavy rain across the lake, Zhou Tong naturally could not neglect the etiquette.

Dried dried meat, dried meat, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp in maize wine. The dried meat has a long storage time and emits a little fishy smell. The vegetables are also mainly sea wakame.

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "At the beginning of the war, the supplies are exhausted, and there is no good thing to entertain, so please ask Yue Xiang Haihan..."

Yue Lengqiu said, "Commander Zhou is very polite."

Yue Lengqiu is not clear about the current situation in Jiangxi.

Although the supplies of the Huaidong Army can be transported from the Yangtze River, they are all food that can be stored for a long time. The fact that there are pickled and dried dried meat in the army can be eaten, which shows that the Huaidong Army is no longer comparable to other military food.

To restore agricultural affairs in Jiangxi, animal power is indispensable. After Lin Fu arrived in Yuzhang, the first decree was to strictly prohibit the slaughter of livestock in all parts of Jiangxi. Therefore, in Duchang City, there is no shortage of fish, shrimp and fruits, but there is no fresh vegetables and fresh meat.

For the generals of the Huaidong Army, this was the time when they made achievements and established their careers, and few people indulged in pleasure. Except for some alcoholic generals who often steal strong liquor for medicinal purposes, most people are not tired of eating fines and clothing.

Yue Lengqiu is naturally also a guest, and he doesn't care.

With half pay, Yue Lengqiu and Zhou were seated together, and Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi and Tang Xitai sat with them.

When Yue Leng was in charge of Dongmin in Qiu, Tang Fuguan was the Marquis of Yu from the left side of the Admiral's Mansion, and he was fairly familiar with him. Yue Lengqiu also wanted to test the Huaidong Army's views on Jinghu Lake and the situation in the north, so he chatted with Tang Fuguan very frequently during the banquet.

Tang Fuguan's perception of Yue Lengqiu is much more complicated.

When Yue Lengqiu was in charge of Dongmin, he was at odds with Yu Wangao; and when he was in charge of Qin Wang, Yue Lengqiu instigated Tao Chun to split Shaowu's army.

Although there are many reasons for Shao Wu's army to be overthrown in Jinan, how could the former general of the East Fujian army still have a good impression of Yue Lengqiu?

Tang Fuguan originally wanted not to attend the banquet and avoided seeing Yue Lengqiu. However, Yuzhang hoped to show more goodwill towards Yue Lengqiu. At Zhou Tong's insistence, Tang Fuguan could only bite the bullet and deal with Yue Lengqiu.

"The roots of Yan's captives lie in Liangliao and Yanji, and they are all facing the deep sea. However, the Jinghai sea camp runs across the four seas, and it is unfavorable wherever it goes, and the collapse of luxury families is also rooted in this. Sitting according to the table, his waist was as straight as a halberd, and he looked at the people in Huaidong, "Now, the Yanlu should also be well aware of this disadvantage, so they have prepared heavy troops in Shandong, Jidong and Liaodong, and they have also controlled the navy in Dengzhou. Judging from the defeat of the extravagant family, and defending the sea with the land, it is undoubtedly difficult to meet the easy. If the Yanluo plan is poor, they will eventually fall into complete passiveness. Therefore, the Yanluo eagerly wants to be trapped in the customs on the western front, and then seize the Jingjing. Lake, I hope to open the passage of the west line and go south first, so as to contain the Huaidong soldiers on the west line, and never go northward on a large scale to attack Liangliao and Yanji. By the end of last year, the Yanlu attacked Guanshan and the privy envoys on a large scale. Seeking to recover Jiangxi is all about the success of both parties. Now, the Privy Council has driven the luxury family out of Jiangxi first, which can be said to be the first..."

Yue Lengqiu's remarks are half-literal, but Zhou Tong, Tang Fu, Liu Zhenzhi and others have read books and can read, and Tang Xitai is even more famous, so it is not difficult to understand.

At the strategic level, Yue Lengqiu's understanding of Huaidong and Beiyan is accurate.

If Yanhu fails to open up the passage from the west to the south, Jinghu can maintain a balanced situation. After Huaidong recaptures Jiangxi, more than 200,000 heavy troops will be assembled to attack Yanji and Liaodong directly in the north by sea in one or two years. The ability - this will be extremely deadly to Yan Hu.

Yan Hu can intercept the attack of 200,000 heavy troops from Huaidong on a special line of defense, but there are several places along the coast of Shandong, Yanji, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places suitable for landing 200,000 heavy troops. Yan Hu is simply unable to do so. All places have established defense lines to intercept the attack of 200,000 heavy troops. At that time, in order to maintain the ability of mobile defense, Yanhu's cavalry will be completely contained on the coast of the Bohai Sea, and it will be difficult to pose any threat to South Vietnam from Henan, Guanshan and other directions.

For Yan Hu, what they have to do now is to build a naval force in the Bohai Bay that can compete with the Jinghai Camp, and the other is to abandon their sons and compete for the first place.

When the Yanhu, dozens and 200,000 soldiers and horses can go south directly from the west line, invade Jinghu Lake, advance to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and threaten the Jianghuai from the west, then Huaidong will not be able to defend at all except passively on the west line. The ability to draw heavy troops to attack Yanhu's Yanji and the hinterland of Liangliao.

This means that whether Huaidong takes Jiangxi first or Yanlu takes Guanshan first, both decides who has the initiative in the entire battle.

Zhou Tong looked at the wine glass in his hand and said: "Guanzhong is in danger, and once Guanzhong collapses, it will trigger a chain reaction in Hezhong, Nanyang, Suizhou, and Jingzhou, and the situation will develop very quickly, so our army will recover Jiangxi first, and it is not a problem. We can do everything first. I think our army's top priority is not to prepare to attack Yanji by sea, but to stabilize the situation in Jinghu first, so as to secure Guanzhong..."

The situation in Jinghu is stable, which will strongly support the Cao family in resisting Yanhu in Guanzhong. Once the situation on the entire western front is stabilized, the initiative in the war will naturally fall into the hands of Huaidong.

Yue Lengqiu sat side by side with Zhou, unable to directly observe whether what he said was true or false.

If the generals of the Huaidong Army were all thinking of this, the main force of the Chongcheng Army would cross the river north to pursue the Shejia, but the entire Jinghu battle would be completely free of the Chizhou Army—although Yue Lengqiu knew that Chizhou was advancing westward at this time, There is a suspicion of killing Lin Bing by borrowing a knife, but there is no way. After the fiasco in Zongyang, the Chizhou Army will be completely marginalized and will be abolished if they will not perform in the Jinghu battlefield.

Yue Lengqiu said: "I also agree with General Zhou's plan, but Shewenzhuang and Huaidong have been defeated repeatedly, but it cannot be denied that he is an old fox who is well versed in Huaidong tactics - the main force of the Chongcheng army. Jiangbei went up to pursue the remnants of the She family, and the remnants of the She family would not be entangled with the Chongcheng army. From the fact that the She family did not defend Huangmei County on the north bank of Jiangzhou, but the defense line was withdrawn to the Jichun area, it can be seen that the She family wanted to avoid the Huaidong army. Thoughts. Suizhou now also regards the luxury family as the lip and teeth. In order to avoid the death of the lips and teeth, Luo Xiancheng deliberately gave up the passage on the east bank of the Han River so that the luxury family could flee north along the Han River at any time and attack Nanyang. Can Huaidong send troops and horses to pursue the remnants of the She family along the Han River?"

"The words of the Governor Yue also make people reflect," Zhou Tong said, "but the Huaidong army can travel a hundred miles a day, and the remnants of the extravagant family can travel a hundred miles a day; The horse crosses the river north, Luo Xiancheng is still far behind Jiangning, and he dares to escape to the north?"

Zhou Tong's indifferent tone made Yue Lengqiu feel confused, thinking: Maybe the Huaidong Army succeeded in all battles, and everyone from Lin Fu and below breeds arrogance, maybe Lin Fut called Zhou Tong to confuse himself.

Yue Lengqiu didn't want to upset the host and guests at the banquet. Zhou Tong's influence in the Huaidong Army was no small matter, and Lin Fu was not an arbitrary dictator. Zhou Tong was able to speak to the Chizhou army. one person.

Yue Lengqiu couldn't see the truth of what Zhou Tong said for a while, but the main force of the Huaidong army was eager to cross the river north to pursue the remnants of the She family, which was not particularly beneficial to Huaidong.

In addition to various other reasons, Huang Binghao still had 30,000 to 40,000 troops in Yuanzhou who had not surrendered.

Even if Huang Binghao surrendered, how could he be 100% trusted? How could they not know that the She family fled north of the river and Huang Binghao stayed in Yuanzhou was a secret discussion between the two in advance.

When the main force of the Huaidong Army was stuck in a stalemate in Jinghu Lake, Huang Binghao's revolt against Yuanzhou would surely make the Huaidong Army unable to care for each other and cause chaos.

Now the surface news is that the representative of Emperor Gao Zongting, Lin Fu, sent the envoy to Yuanzhou to talk about the surrender. Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe only led Zhang Jiheng to sit in Yuzhang, and the rest of the troops who entered Jiangxi were scattered everywhere. The Ministry and Liu Zhenzhi’s Ministry seemed to be heading north again by water.

Isn't Lin Fuzhen afraid of Huang Binghao's repetition?

After the banquet, Tang Xitai accompanied Yue Lengqiu back to the inn to rest.

Yue Lengqiu, Zhou Tong, Tang Fuguan, and Liu Zhenzhi didn't have much to say, but they felt less strange when they traveled with Tang Xitai. On the way back to the post house, Yue Lengqiu asked directly, "The ships are gathered in Duchang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Huaidong really want to cross the river north in a hurry?"

"Everyone in Jiangning is looking forward to the northern crossing of Huaidong troops and horses, and Jinghu is also looking forward to the northern crossing of Huaidong troops and horses, but the Cao family should be the most eager to hope that Huaidong troops and horses will cross north, doesn't Yue Du think so? Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Tang Xitai no longer played dumb riddles with Yue Lengqiu. He deliberately revealed the truth deeper and asked.

"Didn't the Cao family send anyone to see the privy envoy?" No matter how broad a person's knowledge is, he still has blind spots that he doesn't recognize. Yue Lengqiu is troubled by the current predicament of the Chizhou army, and he is not sensitive enough to the news of Jinghu and Guanzhong. I really didn't realize that the Cao family didn't send anyone into Jiangxi to see Lin Fu.

After the She family fled across the river north, the balance of power in Jinghu was reversed. Once the She family and Luo Xiancheng publicly surrendered their Hus, they would inevitably attack Guanzhong and Hanzhong from the side and back. For the Cao family, who was alone in Guanzhong, it should be with Liang Chengchong of Nanyang and Liang Chengyi of Hezhong that most eagerly hoped that the main force of the Huaidong Army or the Chizhou Army would attack Jinghu.

Looking at what the empress dowager's family was anxious to see after the She family fled north, you can know the profound influence of Jinghu on the situation in Guanzhong and western Henan.

The Cao family has not moved at this time, that is a big anomaly.

The Cao family did not expect Huaidong to quickly reverse the situation in Jinghu. The Cao family made up their minds to give up Guanzhong!

And once the Cao family abandons Guanzhong, it will be a problem whether Hezhong and Nanyang can keep it for a month. Maybe after the fall, the Hu people will drink the Yangtze River!

Yue Lengqiu was stunned there: The most basic basis for Lin Fu's decision-making is precisely the choice of the Cao family. Before someone else speculates on Huaidong's next military deployment, he will not overlook this point, and he takes it for granted that the Cao family will definitely send someone to Ganjian to see Lin Fu to urge the Huaidong Army to cross the north to Anjing Lake.
