Wang Jingjiu frowned slightly and said: "The vanguard of the enemy army has been eliminated by us, and there are no other enemy troops following up. It should be said that there will be no main army of demon thieves within a few hundred miles. We are here
We won a great victory in one battle and wiped out the entire army, which was dominated by old thieves. It was a time when we were shocked by all directions. We can take this opportunity to sweep the prefectures and counties around Jiangzhou, and even places like Nankang and Changsha, and eliminate these places.
If the demon bandit garrison left behind seizes their food, grass and baggage, they can sweep through the surrounding areas even if they don't go to Lingnan."
Yu Lesheng also said: "Yes, returning to Jiangling now is a bit too hasty. There are not a large number of enemy troops around, and Jiangling will not be in danger for the time being. We have to remove all the monsters and thieves in the surrounding counties one by one. Even if
Later, when the army of demon thieves came, there was no more supplies. I think this is the right choice."
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "If we want to destroy the demon thief states and counties in this area from Nankang to Changsha, we can do it at any time in the past six months. It is because it is not necessary to do so. The demon thief in front has been fighting and attacking Jiankang for half a year.
, did not use the food and grass in the rear, which shows that they can be supported by the food stored in our Jiangzhou and Yuzhou corps. When they return to the division now, they have brought enough food and grass back to the division. Even if we destroy their army at this time
Reserves will not help, but will cause hardship to the people in these places."
Wang Jingjiu shook his head: "Then we go back like this? I still feel uncomfortable."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "I have a hunch that the situation may not be too good. The smoother we are here, the more dangerous it will be in Jiangling and Jingzhou, or in the direction from Fujian and Yue. Even if the demon thief is a single force,
If we advance rashly, there will be no troops to follow. If we rush to divide our troops to sweep elsewhere, we may defeat them one by one. After a big victory, the troops will be proud and look down on the enemy. This kind of
Time is the most dangerous, do you understand?"
Wang Jingjiu put away his smile and said thoughtfully: "It is true. The demon thieves have faked defeats and ambushed many times in the past. The most recent and tragic one was the defeat of Liu Yi's Yuzhou Army. However, nearby
There is no main force of demon thieves for hundreds of miles. How can they still use Yingjiu's army as bait this time? This is the elite main force of two to three thousand old thieves."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "For the demon thieves, there is nothing they can't bear to part with. Maybe the speed at which we eliminated Yingjiu was beyond their expectations, or maybe they didn't count on our Jingzhou troops to come for reinforcements, thinking that as long as they relied on
The British can defeat the Jiangzhou troops, so they are entrusted with the task, but we do not rule out the possibility that they will disperse into various prefectures and counties in Jiangzhou in small groups, even as far as Nankang and Changsha, and prepare to pursue and intercept us from behind."
"If we think there is no danger at this time and go to attack Changsha or Nankang, we may be ambushed by them in turn. You know, the demon thieves move quickly and are good at dispersing operations. They can travel more than a thousand miles with a small force.
Their specialty is that we just didn't find their large armies moving along the road, but we didn't say we could find their small armies traveling through the mountains and forests."
Yu Lesheng's expression changed: "Is it possible that we will be ambushed by the demon thief? Can the demon thief avoid our eyes and ears and prepare the ambush battlefield in advance?"
Zhu Chaoshi looked serious and said: "It is perfectly okay for the demon thieves to secretly come back in batches of 10,000 or 20,000 people during the siege of Jiankang for more than half a year. There are also the demon thieves from Lingnan who have raised their troops for more than a year.
There has been no large-scale increase of troops to the front, but it is impossible that there will be no follow-up recruitment of new troops. We can monitor the highway from Jiankang to Jiangzhou, but we cannot monitor their troop mobilization in Jingnan. If the Yingjiu move along the highway with great fanfare
We marched forward, but let the demon bandit follow-up troops from Lingnan lie in ambush in places like Changsha, Baling, and Nanjun, preparing to intercept our retreating troops. That is probably the only explanation for the sudden advance of this demon bandit vanguard."
Wang Jingjiu's forehead began to sweat: "Ah, after listening to your analysis, it is really dangerous. There should be tens of thousands of demon thieves in Jiangnan and Lingnan in Jingzhou. If they gather ten or twenty thousand people and set up pockets specifically,
If the formation comes to attack us, it will be troublesome. Changsha, Baling, and Nankang look like traps. You must not jump into them. If you really get past them, you may be like this Yingjiu, and the whole army will be annihilated.
Woolen cloth."
Yu Lesheng laughed: "That's right, now we have made enough profits, there is no need to take risks anymore. Since places like Changsha and Baling are not indispensable for us to occupy and cannot be defended, it is better to just accept them as soon as they are good."
, back to Jiangling, shall we go back to Wulindu via Sangluozhou now?"
Zhu Chaoshi frowned slightly and said: "This road is the passage we took when we came from Jingzhou, including bringing a hundred Huanglong warships to carry my troops and horses. Now plus these fifty warships, a total of one hundred
Fifty articles can transport our soldiers and horses across the river at one time, right?"
Wang Jingjiu said instinctively: "If we have to bring all the food, grass, ordnance from various places in Jiangzhou, we will definitely not be able to make it in one trip. We will have to make at least two trips. In this big victory, the demon thieves are in the camp behind.
I also left some equipment, food and grass, as well as a lot of coins and silk, they are all good things, why don’t you take them with you?”
Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "I just said that now is not a safe and comfortable time, but a crisis. The enemy is likely to outflank us from other directions soon. They did not know the whereabouts of our main force before, so Ying
Jiu may still be a bait. Now that we have eliminated Yingjiu, our own military strength has also been exposed. What we need is to transfer and evacuate as quickly as possible."
Yu Lesheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, it is best to leave early now. It is not worth risking your life for a little money and material. Anyway, most of the food, grass and weapons we obtained in Jiangzhou have long been
It's hidden in a secret base. It's not too late to go back and get it after defeating the demon thief. Besides, after wiping out the demon thief and taking back all the counties from Jiangzhou to Guangzhou, these are temporarily lost.
The supplies in the enemy's hands will come back sooner or later."
Wang Jingjiu curled his lips and said, "Okay, in that case, I will issue an order to have the fleet hidden on the Lukou Ferry side sail over now, and board the ship from here early tomorrow morning, and return from Wulin Ferry.
"
Zhu Chaoshi said flatly: "No, let's set off now. Let's go to Lukou Ferry, get on the boat there, and go back to Jiangling directly!"
Wang Jingjiu frowned slightly and said: "The vanguard of the enemy army has been eliminated by us, and there are no other enemy troops following up. It should be said that there will be no main army of demon thieves within a few hundred miles. We are here
