"Based on the current situation, we need to concentrate our limited forces on the Miaoshan Islands at the mouth of the Bohai Sea. We don't have many forces extending to the depths of the Bohai Bay. Jinwei Island should also be temporarily abandoned!" Lin Fu summoned everyone to the camp to discuss the matter.
, discussing the latest situation of the Miaoshan War in early February.
During the Miaoshan War, Nahe Xiongqi used fishing boats to transport soldiers and horses out to sea from the Dengzhou River Bend to raid the South Island in the south of the Miaoshan Islands, which is closest to Dengzhou City. From the South Island, it was very close to the shore. After the Dengzhou soldiers went to sea, although Yang Yihang quickly
In response, warships were dispatched from Nanhuangcheng Island, the main camp of Miaoshan, but the Dengzhou soldiers rushed to the beach and landed on the South Island before the Huaidong warship arrived. Although the Huaidong warship would then organize the four Dengzhou soldiers to land.
More than a dozen fishing boats were sunk, but more than 300 guards on the South Island were wiped out, the island defense facilities were destroyed, and the Dengzhou soldiers who boarded the South Island were evacuated by fishing boats at night.
Na He Xiongqi is one of the few veterans in Yanhu who has a deep understanding of Huaidong, and should not be underestimated.
Jinwei Island is closer to the land. After the Miaoshan War, Yang Yihang sent additional troops to Jinwei Island to prevent Ye Jibaishan in Jinhai from following suit. However, Jinwei Island was finally too far away from the main camp of Miaoshan.
, hanging deep in the Bohai Bay, in a dangerous situation.
"Jinwei Island is your lord's permanent restaurant. It has been in business for several years. We have built forts along the island and invested a lot of manpower and material resources. It would be a pity to give up now." Came from Miaoshan to Xuzhou to meet Lin Fu
, Hu Yuer, who reported the details of the Miaoshan War in detail, felt that it would be a pity to abandon Jinwei Island at this time. "At this time, there are two elite battalions defending the island, and the island stronghold is also strong. Even if the enemy forces in Tianjin and Hainan want to imitate Dengzhou, they will not pay three to five times the cost."
The price cannot be paid..."
Hu Yu'er was originally a general of the Dengzhou Navy. Liu Yefei defected and was killed. The Dengzhou Navy and most of the Dengzhou garrison at that time were lured to Pingdu by Chen Zhihu's fraud plan. Later, the enemy surrendered in Pingdu, and Hu Yu'er led the troops who stayed behind.
The remnants of Daoyu Village surrendered to Huaidong.
Huaidong later appointed Hu Yu'er as Miaoshan, and commanded the Jinwei troops to join the army. Together with Chen Enze, he assisted Yang Yihang and occupied the islands at the mouth of the Bohai Sea. He was responsible for raiding Denglai, Hejian, Jixi, and the coasts of Liangliao. Hu Yuer also stayed at the mouth of the Bohai Sea.
On the island, there was no chance to go south to meet Lin Fu and the Huaidong generals. This time I took the opportunity to go to Xuzhou to meet Lin Fu...
"It's no pity. The Miaoshan and Jinwei tribes can harass the coast of the Bohai Bay, relying on the fleet's ability to sail under various conditions, not relying on one or two islands occupied near the coast; even in the south
Line, it was only after the capture of Yizhou Island that the First Water Battalion had the conditions to be stationed on the near side of Eastern Fujian. It is a pity that there is no large island comparable to Yizhou Island around the mouth of the Bohai Sea that can be used as the main garrison camp."
Lin Fu shook his head and said, "Since the disadvantages that were not considered before have been revealed, we must make up our minds to correct them. We should not worry about gains and losses and be indecisive..."
"Not only Jinwei Island, but also the issue of withdrawal from Miaoshan must be considered," Gao Zongting said, stroking his chin and thinking. "At least before autumn, we must ensure that we can assemble the largest number of troops on the southern front and ensure that no troops are used on the southern front.
Worrying about what problems may arise on the northern line..."
Lin Fu would not wait for the She family to establish a firm foothold in Jiangxi before taking action. The Song family's attitude was clear, and the time was ripe for Dongyang County or Pingyang, Hengyang and the Song family to attack Jin'an from the north and south.
Considering that the East China Sea will enter the season of frequent storms after May, and launching a war on the southern front before May, there is not much time for planning and preparations, so it can only be postponed until after autumn at most.
The war on the southern front may be protracted. We must first adjust the deployment of the Xu Si defense line. First, we must ensure the stability of the Xu Si defense line. Second, we must mobilize as many troops as possible from the northern front to the south to ensure the smooth implementation of the southern front war.
.
Warships with the ability to sail on distant seas and withstand strong storms have extremely high requirements in terms of manufacturing technology. Yanhu simply does not have this ability. It is far from being able to compete with Huaidong for supremacy in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea, but Miaoshan and other warships
The island is too close to the mainland of Dengzhou, and the farthest island is only more than 120 miles away. Even if the new ships built by Nahe Xiongqi in Dengzhou are not enough to compete with Huaidong Shuiying in the East China Sea, they will
It is not difficult to deploy a large number of troops and horses to the Miaoshan Islands to conduct island battles.
Dengzhou built a large number of sea-going ships in a short period of time, which could be used for short-distance troop transportation.
Ships made from wood that has not been dehydrated will deform when immersed in water for a long time, but there will not be any major problems in a short period of time.
Lin Fu decided to launch a large-scale military offensive against the She family on the southern front in the autumn. By then, the main force of the Jinghai battalion might be unable to escape due to the war on the southern front. If He Xiongqi had used troops to attack Miaoshan at that time, Huaidong would not have been able to lead the way.
Can't care about each other.
Furthermore, the existence of Miaoshan and Jinwei tribes was to restrain a certain amount of Yanhu soldiers and horses along the Bohai Bay when the Xusi defense line was not stable last year, thereby weakening the Yanhu offensive against Xusi.
If Chen Hansan successfully dedicates Xuzhou to Yanhu, Lin Fu will even deploy more troops in Miaoshan and Jinwei to reduce the military pressure on the front of the Huaisi defense line.
However, Xuzhou has fallen into the hands of Huaidong, and the Xusi defense line has become complete. Whether the Miaoshan and Jinwei tribes are necessary to exist, the initiative lies with Huaidong.
Strengthen the deployment of troops on Miaoshan, Jinwei and other islands to contain more of Yanhu's troops on the coast of the Bohai Bay. While actually reducing the frontal military pressure on the Xusi defense line, it also provides relief for Dongyuan in Huaixi, Liangchengyi in Hezhong, Liangchengchong in Nanyang and even
Cao Yiqu in Guanzhong alleviated military pressure.
From the perspective of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, Huaidong should take the initiative to abandon Jinwei Island and Miaoshan Islands at this time, so as to encourage Yanhu to mobilize more troops from the coast of the Bohai Bay and use troops on the western front...
Lin Fu frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "At least before autumn, Yanhu cannot be prepared to use troops on the western front. He must first abandon Jinwei Island. Even if he wants to abandon Miaoshan Islands, he must wait until after summer——
Before autumn comes, Nahe Xiongqi will not be able to pose much of a threat to Miaoshan in Dengzhou!"
The main camp of Miaoshan is more than a hundred miles away from the land of Dengzhou. If the defenders of Jinwei Island are withdrawn, the number of troops guarding the Miaoshan Islands will be 4,000. In a short time, the main camp of Miaoshan will not be afraid of He Xiongqi attacking Miaoshan.
camp.
Ye Junan said: "Before September, Dong Yuan and Liang Chengyi's life was quite comfortable..."
Although Huaixi is a defense area that stands side by side with Huaidong, it uses Woyang as the outer defense line and has a narrow enemy area. In addition, Woyang is in Xuzhou, southwest of Huaiyang. When Xuzhou protrudes from the terrain, it forms a target for Henan and Lu.
A protruding part of the Xiyan Army, Woyang actually served as the flank of Xuzhou and faced very low military pressure.
The hinterlands of Huaixi such as Haozhou and Sizhou are geographically located due south of Huaiyang and Xuzhou, and are actually inside the Xusi defense line.
In this situation, Dong Yuan was appointed as the commander of all the armies in front of the Huaixi Imperial Army, including the Huai Army under Tao Chun's command, Xiao Kui'an's Guoyang Army, and the Dongyang and Luzhou armies. They were all under his control. The total number of troops under his command exceeded 100,000.
However, there are only more than 30,000 troops stationed on the outer defense line of Guoyang. Ye Junan said that he was living a comfortable life, which was actually the truth.
Shouzhou in February also has a chilly early spring weather.
Compared with Xuzhou City, Shouzhou is more dilapidated.
Luzhou is relatively on the inside, and Lin Tingli will not let Dong Yuan nest in Dongyang at all. Haozhou will be given to Huaiyang, and Xuzhou will be nestled on the inside. The terrain is far less important than Shouzhou, so Dong Yuan can only set up his headquarters in the remaining city of Shouzhou.
.
Not only did Dong Yuan locate the remnant city in Shouzhou, but the Prince of Chu also moved the vassal state to Shouzhou years ago. Liu Tingzhou's Huaixi military leader's office was also located in Shouzhou. Liu Tingzhou was not only responsible for Huaixi's grain, fodder and armaments, but also for Huaixi's military affairs.
Support Liang Chengchong's troops entering Nanyang.
Shouzhou is located between Woyang and Luzhou, on the south bank of the Huaihe River. Wobu and Yingshui come from the north and flow into the Huaihe River from the east and west sides of Shouzhou, while Feishui comes from the south and flows through Shouzhou.
It flows into Huaikou, which has been known as "holding the vortex in the north and connecting Feichao in the south" since ancient times. It is the key place for Huaixi to resist enemies from the north.
Facing the still cold north wind, Dong Yuan, accompanied by Liu Tingzhou, Tao Chun, Xiao Kui'an and other generals, and Chu Wang Yuan Hancheng climbed up to the Xiashi Mountain on the south bank of the Huaihe River, overlooking the land of Shouzhou and the vast water of the Huaihe River from west to east.
Everlasting.
"Since Li Bingbu, there are distinctions between internal and external defenses. Guan Huaidong stationed troops in Xu Si, with Xuzhou, Peixian and Guangqi as the outer lines, stationed 30,000 troops and horses to defend, and also assembled in Siyang and Shanyang on the inner lines.
More than 30,000 soldiers thought that only by cooperating with the internal and external lines could the Xu Si defense line be stabilized." Dong Yuan waved his whip and pointed at the mountains and rivers, and said, "The idea of deploying defenses in Huaixi is also the same, with Guoyang as the perimeter and Shouzhou as the perimeter.
On the inside, but unlike Huaidong, we still face severe tests on the west front..."
The west line of Shouzhou is the thousands-mile-long Huaishan Mountains. The remaining three troops of Chen and Han fled into the Huaishan Mountains years ago, which caused a lot of confusion in the counties in the northeastern foothills of the Huaishan Mountains. In Suizhou and Xiangyang in the southwest of the Huaishan Mountains, the Changle bandit Luo Xiancheng was even more violent.
Claiming to have 200,000 troops, Jiangning repeatedly sent envoys to recruit troops, but failed - so Dong Yuan said that the western front in Huaixi was facing a severe test.
Although Chen Zhihu has entered Henan, the military pressure on Guoyang is not great. In comparison, Luo Xiancheng in the west is a greater hidden danger.
Yue Lengqiu dispatched troops from Hanghu and Huinan to Jiangzhou to supervise the war. However, after the She family entered Jiangxi, the military front was very sharp and there was no sign of stopping the momentum. In the short term, Jiangning did not want Dong
I originally fought against Luo Xiancheng in Huaixi, but I was afraid that if something went wrong, it would affect the overall situation of guarding Huaihe.
Once Dong Yuan failed to defeat Luo Xiancheng, Huaixi's defense would have to rely on Huaidong's troops. This was definitely not a situation Jiang Ning wanted to see.
Liu Tingzhou glanced at Dong Yuan and saw that his cheeks were tense and his expression was serious, knowing that he had made up his mind to attack the Changle bandits.
Liu Tingzhou is not a conservative official. Taking advantage of Yanhu's temporary inability to move south, the main pressure to defend the Huaihe line must be supported by Xuzhou. If he does not take this opportunity to wipe out the Changle bandits and join forces with Liang Chengchong to regain Xiangyang, how long will it take?
Once we want to wipe out the remnants of Chen Hansan's troops who fled into Huaishan, and then use troops against the Le bandits under Luo Xiancheng's command, it will involve the question of who will defend Guoyang and who will fight on the Western Front.
Yuan Hancheng saw that Tao Chun, Xiao Kui'an, Dongyang, and Luzhou armies were unable to mobilize. To guard Guoyang and march westward to encircle and suppress the remnants of Chen Han's three troops and attack Luo Xiancheng, Tao Chun and Xiao Kui'an could only bear the important tasks respectively.
"The last general is willing to lead his troops to the west to attack Luo Xiancheng and regain Xiangyang for the imperial court!" Tao Chun volunteered.g!~!
