The situation has become extremely serious for the She family. She Wenzhuang does not want to deny this. During the war in Kuaiji, he stayed in Zhejiang County to supervise the war.
In order to control the war on the east and west fronts nearby, Shewenzhuang set up its headquarters in Chun'an.
Tian Chang and Su Tingzhan rushed to Chun'an, only to find that She Feixiong and others had arrived from Wuyuan and other places first.
Chun'an is hidden among the high mountains of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Although the distance is only more than three hundred miles, the weather is much warmer than Fuyang outside.
On the night they arrived in Chun'an, Shewenzhuang only arranged a night banquet and was not in a hurry to discuss matters. However, the generals were privately discussing the impact of the Xuzhou war on the southern front.
Some people are aware of Huaidong's delaying strategy, and some people still insist on believing that Huaidong and Jiangning will have a war with Yanhu in Linzhou and Shouzhang, but the impact of the Xuzhou war on the southern front is obvious.
Once the defense line along the Hehuai River is stabilized, Huaidong and Jiangning will inevitably send troops to attack Fuyang first.
Now Fuyang, Linshui and other places are in their hands. Going to the southeast, they can threaten Kuaiji and Xiaoshan; going to the east and north, they can threaten Hangzhou, Huzhou and the prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake; going to the northwest, they can threaten Huizhou and Jiangning - as long as Fuyang
, Linshui and other places are in their hands, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangning, Huaidong, Huizhou, Hanghu, Kuaiji and other places have trouble sleeping and eating, and dare not act rashly.
Once Fuyang, Linshui and other places fall, Meng Yishan's Hanghu Army only needs a small number of troops to block the gap and defend Hanghu and the prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake; while Deng Yu's Huinan Army does not have to worry about the rear.
The threat from Dusong Pass and Qianqiu Pass can focus on deploying troops from Yuling Pass on the south side to Chun'an and Sunyuan; while Huaidong's troops in eastern Zhejiang do not need to worry about the threat from Fuyang, but can
He focused more on using troops against Dongyang, Zhuji and other counties.
The momentum of the offensive will change dramatically.
Naturally, they will not give up Fuyang, Linshui and other places easily, but if they really want to fight in Fuyang, the situation is quite unfavorable for them.
There are passages into Fuyang from Xiaoshan and Hangzhou. If they want to support Fuyang, they can only take the Qianjiang waterway and send troops and supplies from Tonglu. Once the Huaidong and Hanghu armies join forces with strong troops, they will be able to encircle Fuyang.
Then the Qianjiang waterway was blocked on the western front of Fuyang. If you want to win the Battle of Fuyang, you must invest more troops in conjunction with the Huaidong and Hanghu armies.
As the battle situation unfolds, it will only make people more frustrated.
Huaidong and the Hanghu Army can easily gather 100,000 soldiers and horses outside Fuyang, and supplies are supplied from Hangzhou, Kuaiji, Mingzhou and other places, which is very convenient; even if they can assemble 100,000 soldiers and horses in Fuyang to fight, they will not be able to fight with 100,000 soldiers and horses.
What to do with supplies for thousands of troops?
Compared with the time when Mingzhou, Kuaiji, and Yongjia were captured, food, grass, clothing, armor and weapons were relatively abundant. At this time, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses must be gathered together, and the food alone is enough to make people grow old.
The Fuyang war does not need to be fought. As long as it drags on for half a year, they will be unable to hold on and withdraw their troops and abandon Fuyang.
The situation has reached a point where a breakthrough must be made on the Western Front.
"Others are waiting to see Huaidong and Yanhu in Linzhou, Shouzhang will suffer both losses, but I know in my heart that this battle cannot be won. Beiyan was frustrated in Xuzhou, and its energy has been dampened. It will not rashly fight another tough battle, but Huaidong really wants to fight
, Beihu still has an absolute advantage in the situation, how could Lin Fu take risks rashly to save the Liang family?"
The room where the brazier was lit was as warm as spring. She Wenzhuang only summoned his eldest son She Feixiong to sit and talk with each other in the room.
"It is also extremely cold weather in Ganzhou. Our army lacks warm clothing. If we attack Ganzhou forcefully at this time, the casualties will be unbearable." She Feixiong led the troops in Wuyuan.
Although She Wenzhuang came to the north to supervise the war, the most important military power of the She family in Zhejiang County was still in the hands of She Feixiong.
She Feihu used his impatience and rashness to commit a series of crimes in Kuaiji, which made the She family fall into deeper passivity. After taking away military power, the She family has lost the qualification to compete with She Fei Xiong.
Within a family, there can never be only one voice. She Feixiong has been leading troops outside all year round, has a reputation and power, and the heir's position is stable. She Wenzhuang cannot ignore his opinions when making decisions.
"Huaidong used a dangerous strategy to win in Xuzhou, which can never happen again. The main reason is that Xuzhou is too important to Huaisi's situation. Xuzhou's gains and losses are related to the safety of Huaibei's northeast line. I think in Lin Fu's heart, he also has the idea of 'Although the situation is dangerous, he is forced to
"We have no choice but to use strange ideas," She Wenzhuang was not impatient and said slowly, "I also know that the conditions for us to seize Ganzhou are not mature, but the situation is such that we have to take a different approach.
, it’s time for the army to make a dangerous move..."
She Feixiong was silent and thinking, and She Wenzhuang continued: "In the past, we might have thought that if we couldn't defeat it, we would have to retreat to Eastern Fujian. As long as we sealed off Xianxia Ridge, we could still separate Fujian, and maybe we could also instigate the Guangnan Zhuge Liang.
We will cede territory and become king, but does the current situation allow us to do this?"
She Feixiong sighed softly and said: "When Zi Tan was here, he talked about the benefits of the East China Sea but failed to pay attention to it. It's too late to regret it." He knew that it was useless for the soldiers of the Eighth Fujian Army to return to Fujian and defend Xianxia Ridge.
It is just more convenient for Huaidong to concentrate the main troops on the southern front and land from the east coast of Fujian to directly attack the heart of the She family. Even if the She family still has more than ten or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, they will not have the land to raise troops.
What about ceding territory and becoming king?
But it won't work if the situation continues like this.
Except for Quzhou Prefecture, which is located in the valley of central Zhejiang, almost all the grain and cotton land in southern Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang were taken away by Huaidong. Although their territory in Zhejiang County was not smaller than that in Huaidong, it lacked grain fields and was not enough.
In order to maintain such a huge armament, it is urgent to obtain greater living space on the Western Front before Jiangning and Huaidong are freed up.
living space!
You cannot finish the battle in one battle. You must fight for a larger living space in order to survive. Only by surviving can you wait for the opportunity.
In the past two years, Huaidong's efforts against them have been nothing more than trying every possible means to compress and encroach on their living space.
"Old things can't be forgotten, and it's my fault," Shewenzhuang sighed bitterly, and then said, "If we don't attack Ganzhou now and delay it until next spring, do you have the confidence to maintain the advantage in Fuyang? As long as the situation in the Hehuai River is
Be careful, after next spring, Huaidong will use troops against Fuyang. If we can capture the lands in southern Jiangxi first, then Fuyang will not be so important to us."
"It's just that it's difficult to capture Ganzhou suddenly," She Feixiong said. "On the eastern front, we have too many troops. We have to be prepared for Deng Yu's Huinan Army to attack. We can only gather at most 50,000 troops in Sunyuan.
March westward. The Ganzhou Envoy Division has 30,000 troops and horses under its jurisdiction, and we have to be prepared for the Jiangzhou Envoy Division to come for reinforcements. 50,000 troops and horses are not enough!"
"To defend Dongyang, we must not only defend the grain land of Guyuan in central Zhejiang, but also try our best to hold back Huaidong soldiers and horses on the eastern front. But as long as we capture the counties in southern Jiangxi, Fuyang will be useless," She Feizhuang said,
"At this time, you should resolutely abandon Fuyang, Fuyang, Linshui and other places so that 40,000 elite soldiers can be used. Chun'an only needs 10,000 soldiers and horses. I will guard your retreat and gather 100,000 elite soldiers for you. But
You must capture Ganzhou within three months, otherwise our She family will die in the burial place!"
"Abandon Fuyang now?" She Feixiong was stunned for a moment, and gave up Fuyang without a fight. If the attack on Ganzhou was not successful, they would have no other choice but to retreat to East Fujian. And once they retreat to East Fujian, they would inevitably be forced to retreat to Huaidong from the sea.
He was tortured to death, which is really what his father said: "dying in a burial place"!
She Wenzhuang was not shocked by She Feixiong. He slowly talked about the arrangements after occupying Ganzhou: "I have been exhausted these years. After conquering Ganzhou, the eight surname clans will move some people to Ganzhou to establish themselves and control
Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake can still be managed, and I will protect the remaining land in eastern Fujian for you from now on!"
She Fei Xiong Jiran saw that his father's hair at the temples was all white. If it hadn't been for this, who would have put all his luck in a decisive battle to siege a city and seize territory with little chance of winning?
"My child will definitely live up to his father's trust!" She Feixiong pushed him down and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing three times.
"The responsibility is heavy," She Wenzhuang stretched out his hand to press She Feixiong's shoulder and said, "After this battle, I will go back to Jin'an. The Song family has been too restrained in recent years, and it is not reassuring! I
If we're not in Jin'an, I'm afraid no one can suppress Song Fu."
She Feixiong asked in surprise: "If our She family is defeated, can the Song family survive alone?"
"Back then, I didn't agree with the marriage between my second son and Song Fu's daughter. However, my second son was so fascinated that he had no heart and soul. That woman was not an economical person. I'm afraid the father and daughter had already met behind our backs," She Wen said
Zhuang said, "If the situation in Kuaiji hadn't been so dangerous in the middle of the year, how could I have dared to leave Jin'an so easily?"
She Fei Xiong thought of that bright and charming face, and then he fully understood why the battle in Ganzhou had to be fought. If it were delayed until next spring, the Fuyang war was at a critical juncture, and the Song family counterattacked, She Fei Xiong
I really don’t know how much hope the She family will have if it gets to that point?
"When did father notice it?" She Feixiong asked in a suppressed voice.
"It doesn't matter whether you notice it early or late," She Wenzhuang shook his head and said, "In recent years, the Song family has almost given up on Yongtai and moved to Quanzhou - Song Fu, this old fox, I understand.
, he is just waiting for a price. As long as you can capture Ganzhou, I can barely suppress him, otherwise..."
There is no need to say more. The Song family seems to have only a few thousand elites available in Quanzhou. However, as long as the Song family surrenders to Huaidong and Huaidong gathers tens of thousands of troops to disembark from Quanzhou, it will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of all fronts of the She family. This will
There is no need to continue the war.
"I failed to stab that harmful demon to death, leaving behind this scourge!" She Fei Xiong beat the ground with hatred.
