Gao Yi walked in with his bag in hand and saw Lu Xiong squatting under the eaves of the corridor. He stretched out his legs and kicked him, and said with a smile: "Gouda, go back to your room quickly and see what good things I have found for you."
"..." Goudazi shrank back as if he was bitten by a snake, and said, "Don't try to tease me."
The little brat Lu Xiong is not afraid of Chen Zhihu, but Gao Yi is the blindest. He said he was giving him good things, but last time he sent two naked women to his room, which made him sleepless for several nights. He didn't understand.
, even though he had meat to eat every day, why did Gao Yi give him a woman? He finally gave the woman back to Gao Yi, and Gao Yi laughed at him because he had grown something as big as a donkey but didn’t know how to use it. It was inexplicable.
, others also laughed at him...
Chen Zhihu frowned slightly, knowing that Gao Yi was greedy, so he said to him: "You should have fewer women, don't miss the main business..."
Gao Yi suppressed his rogue-like smile and said seriously: "I can't go wrong with what Commander Hu told me." He then asked, "I heard that Liu was here. It seems that Zhang Xie's letter can still be used."
Some effects. How should we attack next? Let’s attack Qingzhou first?”
"You have met with Lin Fu. Do you think he will let us take Dengzhou calmly?" Chen Zhihu asked.
Gao Yi frowned. He had met Lin Fu twice. The first time was when Chen Zhihu was appointed as the envoy of Henan Province. On behalf of Chen Zhihu, he went to Jiangning to participate in the military meeting. He met Lin Fu and also met Gao Zongting once;
The second time was when Lin Fu's red-coated army marched eastward to Suining, Suining. On behalf of Chen Zhihu, he went to Shanyang to investigate and met with Lin Fu.
Hearing that Chen Zhihu was worried that the Huaidong Army would interfere with the situation in Qingzhou, Gao Yi grinned and said: "He has this idea, and he also needs this strength... The Huaidong Army has 70,000 to 80,000 people trapped in eastern Zhejiang, and Lin Fu is
How many soldiers and horses can the gods conjure up?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Chen Zhihu's face was gloomy. In addition, his face was ferocious, and even his smile was extremely ugly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. He just said in a low voice like a distant thunder, "Huaidong
The army was able to overwhelm the She family, and the force was very strong, but the reason why it was able to take the lead was because of its unprecedented strength in the navy. When the commander-in-chief was still alive, he also talked about the navy and its wonderful use to the navy.
, the ancients were not as good as Lin Fu - with the plot of Lin Fu and Gao Zongting, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Dengzhou navy fall into the hands of Bei Yan - if you look at the situation in Dengzhou, it is like the mouth of the bag in the Bohai Bay.
The Prefecture Navy can be used by Beiyan, and the one or two thousand soldiers and horses of the Huaidong Army on Jinwei Island are like shrimps in a bag, and they can be wiped out easily. Since when the Jin Navy retreated south, Lin Fu deployed an army on Jinwei Island.
If you keep your back in mind, it will be impossible not to see Dengzhou."
"Even if Huaidong is unwilling, what can he do?" Gao Yi said, "Since Liu Yefei sent people to contact him, he is only thinking about seeking wealth from the north! Liu Yefei, who is in charge of Dengzhou, cooperates with us. As long as we capture Qingzhou
, are you so worried that the duck can fly?"
"If Liu Yefei had the ability, even if he had been loyal to Tang Haoxin for ten years, Lin Fu would join forces to force him out of Qingzhou." Chen Zhihu was very angry with Liu Yefei and said, "Perhaps if Liu Yefei is given three to five more years, he may be able to master Dengzhou.
Navy, but he had only been out of Dengzhou for less than a year at this time, and he wanted to Dengzhou's water, but he was just following his lead, fearing that it was just a dream. Liu Yefei could control 30 to 50% of the 20th Battalion of the Dengzhou Water Infantry, so he
It's as high as the sky. If at this time a secret decree from the Southern Dynasty surrenders Liu Yefei's military power and orders the Dengzhou Navy to withdraw southward by sea, what will you do to pursue it?"
"Logically speaking, the Southern Dynasty had to protect half of the country. The Huaihe River and the Yangtze River are natural dangers that they can rely on. Just like Huaidong, they cannot allow the Northern Yan to occupy the Dengzhou Navy." Gao Yi reminded Chen Zhihu, but he was helpless for a while, "
The Southern Dynasty wants to issue a secret edict quickly, and it really wants to withdraw the Dengzhou Navy to the south. Even if we lead our troops to rush there at this time, it will be too late!"
"Not necessarily," Chen Zhihu said, "If the Southern Dynasty really wants to withdraw the Dengzhou Navy, it means completely abandoning Shandong. At the moment, Qingzhou has not been captured by me, and Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong are still gathered in Jinan. How can the Southern Dynasty make up its mind so easily?
Cut off your arm? But just in case, I want you to lead your troops to fight a losing battle outside Qingzhou City!"
"Do I win the battle?" Gao Yi's face twitched. He knew that Chen Zhihu was trying to stabilize the enemy and held back the Dengzhou Navy, but he still found it hard to accept that he was asked to defeat the battle.
"Why, you can't fight if you lose the battle?" Chen Zhihu glared at Gao Yi with a bluster.
"The forward battalion only has so many seeds, and it hurts to lose even one person. If it's a small defeat, Commander Hu's plan will be difficult to implement. If it's a big defeat, Commander Hu, don't you feel sad?" Gao Yi said, twisting his head.
Chen Zhihu has been on the battlefield for half his life, and half of his reputation is earned through the forward battalion. Like Chen Zhihu's background, most of the officers and soldiers in the forward battalion were death row prisoners, bandits, and dead soldiers.
Chen Zhihu used them to kill on the battlefield, and he was extremely indulgent in military discipline to show his ferocious and cruel spirit. Even under Li Zhuo's rule, massacres of cities and villages and looting of enemy territory were commonplace, which was very unique among the original Eastern Fujian army.
An elite force headed by Gao Yi, there were many brave generals in the forward camp. Even with Ao Canghai's bravery back then, he could only succumb to Gao Yi.
Chen Zhihu fought on the battlefield for half his life, leading many or few troops, but he never let go of the military power of the forward battalion, which was almost used as a personal guard. Chen Zhihu also liked to take the lead in battles, so the forward battalion was used by Chen Zhihu in almost every battle.
The elite pioneers who attacked the enemy were also some of Chen Zhihu's most famous elites.
Naturally, such an elite group will not have too many troops. Chen Zhihu has been fighting for half his life. He once led 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Datong and only had more than 4,000 soldiers in the forward battalion. To this day, they are almost all elites from hundreds of battles.
In order to plan for Dengzhou Navy, Gao Yi deliberately allowed the vanguard battalion to be defeated at the foot of Qingzhou City. Gao Yi could not bear to do so.
"Zhou Zhizhong has led his troops through Hengtai and will enter the city tomorrow. I will organize his troops into the forward battalion and you can lead them to attack Qingzhou." Chen Zhihu said.
"Is everyone willing?" Gao Yi asked.
"When we enter Linzi City, do we still have to let him make the decision?" Chen Zhihu said coldly, "At worst, we can just pay him back 5,000 troops after the war."
"There is no need for the forward camp, Commander Hu can give whatever orders he wants." Gao Yi said in a deep voice.
"Is there a battle to fight? I want to go too," Lu Xiong said.
"You want to go even if we lose the battle?" Gao Yi asked in a low voice.
"Let Lu Xiong go, even if you lose, you will lose!" Chen Zhihu said.
"The dog's blood is rushing to his head, but he can only rush forward!" Gao Yi advised. In a losing battle, bringing a weak dog to the battlefield will not cost his life?
"It's not that much nonsense. If he disobeys, just knock him unconscious and drag him back." Chen Zhihu's face darkened and he said.
"After the great defeat, what should we do next?" Gao Yi asked.
"Hmph," Chen Zhihu said, "The Southern Dynasties have won the 'Great Victory' in Qingzhou. Even Liu Yefei is a piece of shit, but he can still mobilize the main force of the Dengzhou Town Army to 'support' Qingzhou..."
*************
Liu Yefei had been sitting unsteadily in the government office for the past few days. Seeing that the situation in Qingzhou was about to collapse, he hurriedly surrendered and could still make a fortune. However, after sending the secret envoy out, he began to worry about gain and loss again.
Liu Yefei was worried that the matter would be exposed, so before Chen Zhihu led his troops to capture Qingzhou, the imperial court sent someone with an order to take his life first; he was even more worried about Gu Wuchen, and Gu Siyuan and his son finally defended Yangxin and forced the Beiyan army to retreat, and he even attacked with a bamboo basket
All was lost, and something was left in Beiyan's hands.
At this moment, a man in a green shirt walked in. When he saw Liu Yefei, who was worried about gains and losses, he called out softly: "Uncle..."
"Ah," Liu Yefei was startled. He looked up and saw that the person who came was none other than his nephew Liu Zhiyong, who he sent to Linzi to have a secret talk with Chen Zhihu. He calmed down a little and sent all the maids in the yard away. The first thing he asked was
, "Zhiyong, you didn't reveal your whereabouts along the way, did you?"
"Never, except for meeting Chen Zhihu, Zhiyong ate and drank in the carriage during the day and never met anyone." Liu Zhiyong said.
"That's good, that's good," Liu Yefei felt relieved for a moment before asking, "Has Chen Zhihu said when he will go to Qingzhou and when he will come to Dengzhou?"
"Chen Zhihu did not say when he would attack Qingzhou. He only said that he would be defeated outside Qingzhou City and asked his uncle to lead the Dengzhou troops to march west from Laiyang..." Liu Zhiyong said.
"That's it..." Liu Yifei didn't understand the deep meaning of Chen Zhihu's actions for a while.
Liu Zhiyong reminded: "Chen Zhihu is afraid that his uncle will not be able to persuade the Dengzhou soldiers to surrender to Yan, so he wants his uncle to transfer all the soldiers and horses out of the Dengzhou camp. As long as Chen Zhihu sends a partial force to seize Dengzhou to cut off the retreat, or the Dengzhou army is in the west
On the way in, we will be surrounded by Chen Zhihu's troops. When the time comes, it will be relatively easy to persuade the generals to surrender to Yan..." Liu Zhiyong paused for a moment so that Liu Yefei could think clearly, and then said, "In addition, the Lord of Beiyan has no control over Dengzhou Water.
The division is bound to be won, and I want my uncle to move the navy ashore as much as possible!"
Liu Yefei felt a little angry when he heard that Chen Zhihu underestimated his ability to control the Dengzhou Town Army. He couldn't lower his arrogance in front of his nephew. He said calmly and emotionally: "A dog's eyes can see a person's eyes. It's easy. Why do he do this?"
trouble……"
"It's better to be careful," Liu Zhiyong advised carefully, "Zhao Zhen, Hu Yu'er and the others may not be so easy to persuade; besides, if the situation in Qingzhou cannot be saved, the imperial court may issue an order to send the Dengzhou Navy to
Transfer to the south..."
Dengzhou Town divided the infantry. After the collapse of Yanji, a large number of the 5,000 soldiers of the Dengzhou Infantry Battalion were transferred to Daliang to supplement the lack of troops in the Changhuai Army. At this time, most of the infantry camps under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Town were Liu Yefei.
After taking up his post in Dengzhou, he was recruited and organized into ten battalions of about 6,000 men. Most of their generals were trusted confidants promoted by Liu Yefei.
Liu Yefei was confident that he could persuade the generals of the infantry and battalions to surrender to Beiyan with him, but this army and horses were rushed in training and lacked soldiers and armor. Their combat power could only be ranked first among local warriors, and Chen Zhihu did not pay attention to it at all.
, Chen Zhihu can also say that Beiyan was greedy for Dengzhou's navy.
The truly elite troops under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Town are the Dengzhou Navy, which has a history of more than 200 years and was greatly strengthened during Li Zhuo's tenure as Minister of War.
The Dengzhou Navy suffered a heavy setback during the Deng Liaodong battle, but it still maintains a strength of more than 6,000 men. In particular, the warships and weapons have not suffered major damage.
In comparison, it can be regarded as an elite soldier.
The original leader of Dengzhou Town died in Liaodong, but the Shuiying generals, headed by generals Zhao Zhen and Hu Yuer, formed their own group and did not buy into Liu Yefei's account.
At this time, the main force of Dengzhou Town Buying was gathered in Dengzhou City, but the main headquarters of the navy was at Daoyu Village on the east side of Danya Mountain northwest of Dengzhou City. On weekdays, the water in the well did not interfere with the river.
Daoyu Village is said to be a village, but it is actually a water city. Daoyu Village was built using the precipitous terrain of Danya Mountain and the sea, with the mountain and the sea in mind. It has a circumference of about 600 steps. The city wall is still built with stone blocks, and there are all enemy towers and city guards. It is a
It is a fortified city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are north and south gates, and the south gate is connected to the land route; the north gate is the water gate, which is where naval warships enter and exit. There is a sea pool of 200 steps square in the city, which can accommodate hundreds of ships.
Warship.
If Liu Yifei cannot persuade the navy generals to surrender together, even if Chen Zhihu leads a large army to attack, the Dengzhou Navy can defend Daoyu Village and resist stubbornly. No matter how elite Chen Zhihu's troops are, if they want to attack Daoyu Village by force, the defenders must be determined
, and must pay a heavy price to succeed.
Taking a step back, it is not difficult to imagine that the Dengzhou Navy could easily withdraw from the sea route without being able to defend Daoyu Village. It is not difficult to imagine that what happened in Jinhai would happen again in Dengzhou.
Chen Zhihu also saw it very accurately. He expected Liu Yefei to persuade or coerce the naval generals to surrender together. The risk of failure was too great, so the best solution was to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
