"Lord, the people under my rule are now at peace. The food and grass have been prepared in the past few months. The mistress has been preparing continuously. It is complete and ready to send troops at any time!" Que Ze stood in the center of the meeting hall, reporting on the three counties under the rule of Qingtian City during this period.
internal affairs situation.
Now, Taitian has been canonized as Wu Hou and Yangzhou Mu. Regardless of whether Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is sincere or not, the Yangzhou Mu seal has been in the hands of Qin Tian. Qin Tian is the nominal lord of Yangzhou and controls three counties. Zhuge Xuan, the prefect of Yuzhang,
The refusal to recognize Qin Tian's status and surrender is exactly the time when a battle is needed to build up momentum.
At the same time, there are 21 famous cities in Yuzhang. If they can all be brought under the control of Qingtian City, Qingtian City will sit on the 64th city in the east of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River natural moat, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.
On both sides of the meeting hall, there are civil and military personnel from Qingtian City. On the left, they are headed by Jia Xu, followed by Li Ru, Feng Ji, and Que Ze. There are only four people, but the quality is definitely good. On the right are military generals, Gao Chong, Tai Shi Ci,
Yue Xi, Hua Xiong, Huang Gai, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang, Zou Yulan, Wang Shuang, Teng Fang, Bawang Qiang, Jiang Jin, He Dali, Han Kai.
Shiyi and Zhang Yi are now in charge of internal affairs in Danyang and Kuaiji respectively. In addition, Guan Hai, Liao Hua and other generals are stationed at various dangerous locations.
The major military generals are gearing up one by one, especially the new generals from Xiliang. They need a victory to show their status. Once the emperor, there were ministers. Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the only people in the world who can take in these people are
Looking at the civil and military personnel in the tent, Taitian felt relieved and his wings were beginning to take shape. Although there was no defection from the Jiangdong nobles, these civil and military personnel brought back from Xiliang greatly enriched the power of Qingtian City, at least for a long time in the future.
Even if Qingtian City conquers the entire Jiangdong, Qin Tian does not have to worry about having no one available.
The first step to fight for world supremacy has been completed. Next, as long as Yuzhang is occupied, Qingtian City will have a stable rear area.
"Hua Xiong!" Taitian looked down at the tent and said in a deep voice.
"The end is here!" Hua Xiong showed excitement on his face, held his head high and walked to the center of the hall, cupping his hands and saying.
"I order you to be the vanguard. Leading the 50,000 vanguard troops and 5,000 Xiliang cavalry, we will open roads in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and we will approach Nanchang!" Tai Tian said loudly, taking out a golden arsenic arrow.
"Take the order!" Hua Xiong's face flashed with excitement and he quickly took the command arrow and said solemnly.
"Xu Huang!..." Taitian looked to the other side. Compared to the excitement of other generals, Xu Huang looked a little dull, and it was obvious that he had not fully surrendered.
Xu Huang couldn't help but be startled when he heard Qin Tian's call. He didn't expect that it would be his turn so soon. After being slightly stunned, he came to Qin Tian and bowed: "Here..."
"Chaisang is an important town in Yuzhang, a third-level county town, and an important place in Jiangdong's defense against Jingxiang. You are now ordered to lead a partial army, with Ge Ze as military advisor, Overlord Spear, He Dali, and Jiang Jin as deputy generals to lead 50,000 troops to capture Chaisang.
Sang, do you dare to respond?…”
Leading an army alone!?
Everyone in the tent, including Xu Huang, couldn't help but be startled. If this kind of power was given to Gao Chong, Taishi Ci, a close military commander of Taitian, no one would be surprised. Even if it was given to Xu Rong, Li Ru would not be surprised.
It's so strange, but Xu Huang surprised everyone. Xu Huang has been in Jiangdong for a while. Everyone can see that this person does not have a strong sense of belonging to Jiangdong, and is even somewhat repulsive, allowing such a person to lead the army alone.
Aren't you afraid that he will rebel?
"Lord, please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders!" After a long time, Xu Huang came back to his senses and said with cupped fists.
"Uh,...,..." The muscles on everyone's faces twitched. It was almost every general's dream to lead an army alone. Now that he was presented with it, he didn't want it. Has the door panel been added to this guy's forehead?
Qin Tian was not surprised. Jia Xu and Li Ru stood in the queue, glanced at Xu Huang, smiled and said nothing. No one knew Xu Huang's current thoughts better than them. As Dong Zhuo's remaining troops, when Dong Zhuo was killed,
But he fell to Wang Yun's party. Although there is nothing wrong in saying that Dong Zhuo is dead, it is still a pimple in the eyes of the generals of Xiliang. Then Wang Yun died and Xu Huang was asked to come by Qin Tian. Although he was half
Forced, but finally chose to surrender. In this era of advocating loyalty, Xu Huang's impression in the eyes of the world has been shattered. It is impossible to say that he has no resentment towards Taitian. This is why Xu Huang's loyalty has never been high.
reason.
"Oh? Why?." Taitian looked at Xu Huang, there was no surprise on his face, he just asked lightly.
"The officers and soldiers are disobedient, and the three armies are disobedient..." Xu Huang said in a dull voice.
"If you don't accept it, then let them accept it. You are my personally chosen general. Who dares to disapprove? Or maybe Gongming feels he is incompetent to capture Chaisang? If so, I will replace him..." Qin Tian sneered and said, "I would rather challenge the general than to accept it."
..
When all the generals in the tent heard this, they couldn't help but look at Xu Huang, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
Although he knew it was a way to provoke the general, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this, and said loudly: "Who said it can't be done? Why does it need 50,000 for a mere Chaisang? The general only needs 10,000 troops, and he will be defeated within a month."
Chaisang!".
"Fifty thousand is not much. I ask you to go to Chaisang. It is not just to capture Chaisang, but to defend Chaisang and resist Liu Biao. However, I can only give you 50,000 people. As for how to resist Liu Biao, you have to figure out your own way..."
Qin Tian looked at Xu Huang, shook his head and said, Xu Huang is good at defense. This is the evaluation of Xu Huang in history. Now Qin Tian has many generals, but most of them are good at attack and defense. Except for Xu Rong, Taishi Ci is one of the few generals.
Except for the fact that Xu Rong wanted the Sui army to go out, Taishi Ci also held an important position now and could not move lightly.
"Master, are you not afraid?..." Xu Huang looked at Tai Tian and frowned.
"What are you afraid of?" Taitian asked with a slight smile.
Xu Huang hesitated, not knowing how to speak. He couldn't say that he was not afraid that I would rebel?
"Go ahead and do it. Since I dare to use you, I believe that Gong Ming is a man and not a two-faced person. Chai Sang is my Jiangdong gateway. I will rely on Gong Ming from now on..." Taitian waved his hand.
Xu Huang felt hot in his heart, knelt down suddenly, and kowtowed solemnly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I am still in the city, even if Xu Huang dies, he will still guard Chaisang!"
Seeing with satisfaction that Xu Huang's loyalty instantly increased, Qin Tian nodded and said nothing more. After Xu Huang stepped back, he took out a golden arsenic arrow again and said: "Huang Gai!".
"Here!" Huang Gai strode forward.
"Order thirty thousand naval troops to join Ling Cao and patrol along the river. We must ensure that our army's waterways are smooth..." Taitian threw out the command arrow and said in a deep voice. It is not difficult to capture Yuzhang, but Qin Tian is more worried about it.
The Sun family and his son in Changsha, the four counties in Jingnan are among the nine counties in Jingxiang and are remote and backward, and cannot be based on Qi. Although Liu Biao can't do anything to Sun Jian and his son, he has been operating in Jingxiang for many years and has obtained Jingxiang.
With the recognition and support of the Xiang clan, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for Sun Jian to capture Jing Xiang. In this way, Sun Jian's eyes are likely to focus on himself, a rebellious minister and traitor who has not been recognized by the four major families in Jiangdong.
On the body.
The biggest obstacle to capturing Yuzhang was not Zhuge Xuan, but the Sun family and his son. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. Huang Gai was Sun Jian's retainer. Qin Tian was not worried about Huang Gai.
Surrendering to the enemy was due to the Sun family's familiarity with Huang Gai, which was probably aimed at Huang Gai's weaknesses.
However, among the current naval forces, the only ones who can be used are Ling Cao and Huang Gai. Without Huang Gai, Qin Tian does not think Ling Cao can stop Zhou Yu.
For a while, Taitian couldn't find a suitable candidate. To deal with Zhou Yu, military generals alone were not enough. They also needed suitable counselors. But Qin Tian didn't have any counselors who were good at water warfare, so he could only temporarily let Huang
Gai and Ling Cao led the army and worked step by step to prevent Zhou Yu's deception.
"Gao Chong, Tai Shi Ci!..." Tai Tian temporarily put aside his thoughts of naval strategist and looked at Gao Chong and Tai Shi Ci.
"I'm here!" The highly favored Taishi Ci each took a step forward and lined up in front of Qin Tian's tent.
"Each of us led 50,000 troops and captured the city in Yuzhang bordering our army. Xu Rong and I were in the center, Li Ru, Feng Ji were in charge of the accompanying army, Yue Xi, Wang Shuang, Teng Fang, He Dali, and Han Kai were in charge.
Lieutenant general, I will accompany the army on the expedition. Jia Xu will lead Yangzhou as a farewell officer. During the expedition, he will oversee the military and administration of three counties and one city. Yulan will stay behind to guard Qingtian City to protect the safety of Qingtian City!"
Taitian issued military orders and government orders one after another, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan. For this battle, Taitian had already begun preparations when he went to Chang'an for the second time. After half a year of rest and recuperation, Qingtian City is now
Already have a deep foundation.
"Each of you select your troops, and in three days, the troops will be sent to Nanchang!..." After the military and political arrangements were completed, and no omissions were missed, Qin Tian stood up and said loudly: "This dispatch of troops is related to the future of our Qingtian City. I hope you all
General, please help me!…”
"Lord, don't worry, we will do our best!" Jia Xu and others all bowed.
After the generals left, Taitian left Jia Xu behind: "Teacher, has the Jiangdong family responded recently?"
Shaking his head, Jia Xu said: "Although many people came to visit Cai Weng, it is a pity that they only paid a visit to Cai Weng. So far, these aristocratic families have maintained a wait-and-see attitude. My lord is right, this battle concerns me.
Once Qingtian City fails in the future, it is very likely that these aristocratic families will turn to the Sun family. During the lord's absence, the Sun family has been in constant contact with these aristocratic families. It is okay for me to rule the three counties. The Gu family and the Lu family remain neutral, but the Zhang family's
Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi of the Zhu family have surrendered to Sun Jian to show their attitude..."
Qin Tian nodded. With Zhou Yu's personal lobbying, and the potential shown by the Sun family during this period, the Sun family is indeed more likely to be accepted by the aristocratic family than his own.
There was a hint of coldness on his face: "In this case, we don't need to be polite..." For these aristocratic families, Taitian has lost patience, constantly raising the price, commanding them to become more greedy, and they need to be subdued by force. It is best to
The best way is to occupy Yuzhang as soon as possible in a short period of time and ensure that these sixty-four cities are under his control. (To be continued...
