After the defeat in the Kuaiji War, Dongyang and Fuyang were the last two key points of the Zhejiang and Fujian armies in eastern Zhejiang.
With Fuyang in hand, the Zhejiang and Fujian Army will always maintain a threat to the core areas such as Jiangning and Taihu Prefecture and County. However, this will not gain more living space for the Zhejiang and Fujian Army. Abandoning Fuyang will not be a threat to the Zhejiang and Fujian Army.
It is said that they just consciously gave up the situation of threatening Jiangning from the east front, and completely changed the strategy of the east front from offense to defense. However, it is not easy to attack Tonglu from Fuyang and Linshui, and Chun'an is not easy, so it does not pose a big threat to the rear flank of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops.
Dongyang County has a different meaning.
Without giving up Dongyang County, we can first contain Huaidong's tens of thousands of troops in eastern Zhejiang on the defensive line.
The She family is most afraid of Huaidong. If Huaidong's tens of thousands of troops in eastern Zhejiang are activated, the coastal areas of eastern Fujian will be even more threatened.
Secondly, Dongyang County is the eastern gateway to Guyuan in central Zhejiang.
Zhezhong Valley was originally the last grain-producing area occupied by the She family in Zhejiang County, and its significance was not trivial. Furthermore, Zhezhong Valley was originally a major thoroughfare that ran through eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang, running from Dongyang County through Quzhou, Shangrao, and then
Going west along the Xinjiang River, there are relatively easy terrains, and you can directly enter the territory of Jiangxi, which is exactly the retreat route for the troops led by She Feixiong to march westward.
From Quzhou to the south, you can reach Xianxia Ridge, which is the key point connecting Fujian and Zhejiang; from Xinzhou to the south is Fuzhou, and Shanguan in the south of Fuzhou is the key point connecting Fujian and Jiangxi.
The whole place was taken away by Huaidong, and the She family was cut off in the middle.
In this sense, Dongyang County is something that the She family must defend. At least until the She family has a firm foothold in Ganzhou, Yuzhang and other places, Dongyang County cannot afford to lose.
At the beginning of the She family's westward march, Huaidong gathered troops and forcibly sent troops from Shengzhou to attack Dongyang County, which would directly destroy the She family's westward advance strategy.
Therefore, Song Jia's statement that Huaidong had the intention of driving away tigers and devouring wolves was not groundless and baseless.
"How could Shewenzhuang not consider Dongyang's problems thoroughly before resolutely marching westward?" Song Fu asked, "Huaidong drives tigers to devour wolves, so they are not afraid of raising tigers to cause trouble?"
Song Bo helped his sister up from the cold brick floor and thought to himself: Huaidong has the intention of driving away tigers and devouring wolves. How could the She family take advantage of Huaidong's thoughts? Even if Huaidong decided to attack Dongyang County from the beginning.
, there is little chance of winning; even if the She family's westward strategy is destroyed, when Huaidong's troops on the southern front are exhausted, the She family can still regain the initiative on the eastern front.
From this point of view, Dongyang County cannot be regarded as the weakness of the She family. At least for now, the She family's westward expansion strategy has been successful.
She Feixiong has already occupied Yuzhang, and most of the troops are marching south along both sides of the Gan River to surrender Yiyang (now Yichun). It will be a matter of time for the forces in Ganzhou and other places, and western Fujian, western Zhejiang, and southern Jiangxi will be connected together;
Down here, you can go west to Jingxiang, or north to Kejiangzhou, and attack Jiangning from a high position. After the She family captured Yuzhang, the previous decline was wiped out, and the fate of the world has not yet been glimpsed.
Song Jia walked to the corner pavilion, sat down on the cold stone bench, and said: "If the She family is given three to five years, there is indeed a risk of raising tigers, but how can the She family have three to five years to run Jiangxi?
?Jiangning intends to use Yue Lengqiu to go to Jiangzhou to supervise the war. Now the She family is completely on the defensive on the eastern front, so Yue Lengqiu can mobilize troops from the Hanghu Army and Huinan Army to march westward to strengthen Jiangzhou - I want to ask Yue
Leng Qiu has more than 60,000 troops in Jiangzhou, is it possible for the She family to run Jiangxi?"
Song Fu looked at his daughter's face with interest and asked: "Huaidong will Zong Yue Lengqiu be brought up in Jiangzhou?"
Yue Lengqiu once served as the governor of Eastern Fujian, and Song Fu knew Yue Lengqiu quite well.
Yue Lengqiu was implicated by Liu Yefei's defection to the enemy and was forced to resign. He went to Jiangzhou to supervise the war. Going alone and leading troops had completely different meanings - Song Fu did not expect that Huaidong would condone Yue Lengqiu to lead troops to Jiangzhou to supervise the war.
, once Yue Lengqiu surrenders the local snakes in Jiangzhou, he will definitely become another prince.
"The She family is a tiger, so we can't let Yue Lengqiu go to Jiangzhou and become a toothless tiger?" Song Jia said.
Song Fu also sat down, tapping his fingers on the stone table, and remained silent for a long time.
Song Bo was secretly frightened: his sister revealed that it should be the core strategy of Huaidong. If the She family goes westward, there is indeed a worry of raising tigers, but at the same time, Yue Lengqiu leads troops to Jiangzhou to supervise the war. Even if the She family is in Gan
Taking root in the south is also a pattern of two tigers competing.
Looking at the bigger picture, Dong Yuan was also transferred from Hangzhou to Huaixi to take control of the military power in the middle of the year. Now Chang Huai's army has withdrawn to Huaixi for reorganization, making Huaixi's military strength strong for a while. It seems that Dong Yuan and Yue Lengqiu have the power.
It is not good for Huaidong to regain signs of stability, but in fact, the entire eastern front will form a situation where Huaidong is the dominant one; the forces that can pose a threat to Huaidong will all concentrate on the western front to entangle, making Huaidong face
The pattern becomes clearer - this kind of overall strategy has to be said to be very clever.
"Huaidong was able to achieve a great victory in Xuzhou and capture the city of Xuzhou so easily. It is really surprising," Song Fu asked. "But looking at Beiyan's military deployment in Shandong, it seems that if Shandong is not consolidated, Henan will turn to another path."
There are signs of going south - for example, if Northern Yan seizes Guanzhong from Yulinnan, how should Huaidong respond?"
The east road can be opened, and the Yanhu soldiers and horses can take the east road and go south to Jiangning, which is the fastest. At this time, the east road is blocked, and they are vulnerable to threats if they take the middle road and the two wings. Unless Yanhu is satisfied with this, they will take the west route and go "
The strategy of "capture Guanzhong first, then Jingxiang" is an inevitable choice.
Yulin is one of the nine towns, with the tribes of Yanxi to the north.
Guanzhong faces the hinterland of the Central Plains, with high mountains and dangerous waters, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, facing the north and northwest, there are not so many dangerous areas to defend. The Yanhu cavalry can go south from the relatively gentle Loess Plateau. The Cao family defends Tongguan Yi
, but it is extremely difficult to keep Huma out of the country from the north.
Once Guanzhong is lost, Yanhu can leave Wuguan and capture Jingxiang without attacking the two rivers, and can take advantage of the Jianghuai geographical advantage.
Nowadays, the Xusi defense line in Huaidong most importantly relies on the danger of the Huaihe River. As long as the water system of Huaisi and other places is in control, there is no need to worry that Yanhu will dare to attack Xuzhou with heavy troops. But once Jingxiang and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze and Huaihe River are surrendered to Yanhu
If Jiangning is captured, Jiangning's defense focus will only rely on the Yangtze River, and the area between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers will become a buffer zone for war - even if the Yanhu troops are not in a hurry to cross the river and go south, they can still advance eastward along the north bank of the Yangtze River or the south bank of the Huaihe River.
, the flanks of the core area of Huaidong will be directly exposed to the attack of Yanhu soldiers and horses.
Song Jia's intention of returning to Quanzhou this time is self-evident, but if the general trend of the world is not in Huaidong, how could the Song family make a hasty choice at this time?
Song Jia said: "When all the main forces of the Huaidong water camp are moved to the northern front, how many troops can Yanhu send to the western front? The Cao family is not without the strength to fight. Even if Yanhu successfully captures Guanzhong, if he wants to use force
When Guan captured Jingxiang, thousands of warships and hundreds of thousands of elite troops from Huaidong bypassed Shandong and landed directly from Yanji and Liangliao. How should Yanhu respond? In the final analysis, the She family had first captured the two Zhejiang provinces.
Here, the situation is overwhelming, so what is the situation today? Even if everything goes well for the She family in Jiangxi, it is still at the end of its battle. At this time, Huaidong has mobilized 20,000 troops to attack Xiapu from both land and sea. What choice will the She family make? "
Xiapu is the northern gateway of Jin'an Prefecture. Once Xiapu is lost, the core area of Jin'an Prefecture will be threatened. In addition to the sea route, Huaidong can indeed attack Xiapu by land from Pingyang in southern Zhejiang.
Song Fu shook his head and sighed: "Perhaps the biggest failure of Shewen Village is that it failed to carry out the strategy of 'abandoning the land and going to the sea'..."
Song Bo was silent in his heart. Just like Lin Fu's prestige in Huaidong was unmatched, the children of the Eighth Fujian Province also had a natural affinity and admiration for Shewen Village. Even if there were no complicated interest entanglements, no one wanted to see it.
Shewenzhuang will fail.
The greatest significance of the She family's capture of southern Jiangxi is that even if Mindong completely cripples Huaidong, they can still survive and struggle - but the foundation of the She family is always under the direct threat of Huaidong.
, except that the She family can resolutely give up the eastern Fujian coastal area. But as my sister said before, they don't have three to five years to manage southern Jiangxi. The She family will undoubtedly give up on the eastern Fujian coastal area at this time.
Yanhu's army was the strongest at this time, but like the She family, it had the most fatal weakness, that is, its vitals were exposed under Huaidong's eyes and nose.
Yanhu flourished in Liaodong, and after moving south, it was inevitable that Yanji would become its foundation.
According to the traditional pattern, as long as Yanhu defends Shandong, Yanji, and Liao, it will be a safe inner line. Huaidong has developed strong maritime combat power, completely destroying the traditional war pattern. Huaidong warships can carry a large number of elites into the Bohai Bay.
Landing at Yanji, the coast of Liangliao, directly attacked Yanhu's heart and soul.
How could Yan Hu put his main troops on the Western Front when his innermost vitals were not free from the threat?
If you were a human being, you would probably feel threatened that your testicles/balls are always in the hands of others, right?
"Zhejiang and Fujian have managed Yizhou. In the past sixty years, a county has been established and more than 10,000 households have been established," Song Jia continued. "My daughter stayed in Yizhou for a few days. Today, Yizhou has more than 20,000 registered households.
In addition to the original county, four new settlements were established in the southwest. Now there are more than 20,000 households, more than 30,000 laborers, and 200,000 acres of newly cultivated land. Next, Yizhou intends to expand farming on a large scale.
Registration and registration..."
After the war in eastern Zhejiang, the Zhejiang and Fujian armies were forced to abandon the entire East China Sea. They took advantage of the Huaidong water camp to destroy Yizhou County and forcibly relocated about 20,000 islanders. After careful calculation,
In less than two years, Huaidong moved nearly 100,000 people to Yizhou Island. The speed was really jaw-dropping.
Of course, in addition to the immigrants, Yizhou Island also has a large number of indigenous people, namely Shengyi and Shengfan, who live on the island in the form of tribal settlements.
At that time, the She family established a county in Yizhou and had more than 20,000 households. In addition to relocating residents, a considerable number of them were forced to naturalize the students. It is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of students living on the entire Yizhou Island.
Compared with the strange use of troops, Huaidong's strong governance is even more impressive.
The biggest role of Song Jia's coming to Quanzhou at this time is to tell the truth about Huaidong, so as to prevent the Song family from misunderstanding the situation and standing in the wrong team.
Huaidong is now putting great efforts into managing Yizhou, which means that it is destined that the She family will never be able to regain its disadvantage on the Eastern Front.
Even if Huaidong does not continue to send more troops to the southern front, with the further development of Yizhou Island, the pressure on the coastal areas of eastern Fujian will only increase.
