It's summer now, so fortunately we are walking along the river, facing the gentle breeze from the river, so we don't feel particularly hot.
Deng Yu rode his horse to accompany the carriage. He saw a group of cavalry waiting in the direction of the boundary monument. He reined in the reins and said to Yue Lengqiu who was sitting on the carriage: "Gong Chongguo is very unpredictable. Governor Yue really wants to go to Yu alone."
chapter?"
"It's enough for Yue An and Yue Zhou to take care of my daily life." At this time, the hesitation on Yue Lengqiu's face disappeared, and he went to Pengze County. Still hesitating was not his style, and he said to Deng Yu, "
Duke Chongguo's heart is unpredictable, but his spirit is not so narrow that he would kill me on the way to death. You should relax in Chizhou..."
Deng Yu was still worried: Lin Fu would not kill Governor Yue openly, but he had just recovered Jiangxi, and the rebels and bandits in eastern Jiangxi were so dense that they had not been completely eliminated. Governor Yue was killed by bandits due to his lack of defense on the way to Yuzhang.
Robbery and killing are also a means for Huaidong to avoid future troubles.
Seeing that Deng Yu wanted to persuade him again, Yue Lengqiu cut him off and said: "We will go to Yuzhang as early as one or two months, or as late as March or May, and we will either return to Chizhou or Jiangning, you will decide for yourself;
We must not neglect our military preparedness while we wait in Chizhou. Only with you here can I feel at ease." After fighting for half a lifetime in troubled times, no one can see what is most important than Yue Lengqiu more clearly than Yue Lengqiu.
Yue Zhi was speechless. He only said to his family members Yue An and Yue Zhou: "My uncle likes to study all night long. You should persuade him more..." When they parted, he couldn't say anything else.
Yue Lengqiu's departure is not only related to his personal reputation and future, but also to whether the Yue family faces a smooth road or a dead end.
After the Shangrao War, it was natural for the main force of the Huaidong Army to move into Jiangzhou, but at the same time it also increased the number of troops stationed in Yijiang. At the same time, the Jinghai Third Water Battalion also conducted operations in the river area from Yijiang to Jiangzhou.
A complete blockade was implemented, and Chizhou was caught in the middle. On the surface, Lin Fu had no clear stance on the defeat of Songyang, but in fact no one was sure that there was no murderous intention behind Lin Fu's deployment.
Yue An was the old man next to Yue Lengqiu. He had accompanied Yue Lengqiu in his early years, and he also traveled around the world with Yue Lengqiu. At this time, he was old and his muscles and bones were stiff, but he never left him and accompanied him to Yuzhang together; Yue Zhou was the son of the family.
, there is someone who is diligent and can take care of Yue Lengqiu's daily life during the journey - Yue Lengqiu insists on not bringing guards, and he should look like he is asking for forgiveness when he is shouldering a thorn, so that the world can see him, so he let the two of them accompany him.
Go to Yuzhang.
After a long delay in leaving, we finally arrived at the boundary marker.
Tan Ma also galloped back to report: "General Yu Wencheng, the commander of the third town of Changshan Army, led his troops to greet Governor Yue at the boundary monument."
Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting and others were in Yuzhang. On the Jiangzhou side, Ao Canghai was temporarily led, and Ge Cunxin also led the third water battalion to station in Jiangzhou. Lin Fu attracted the Jiangxi resistance army on the basis of the advance army in eastern Jiangxi.
With the strength of the army, the Third Town Division of the Changshan Army was established, with Yu Wencheng as the commander. Yu Wencheng also temporarily commanded Peng Ze, the defense commander east of Hukou.
Huaidong asked Yu Wencheng to go to the county to welcome Yue Lengqiu into Jiangxi. In terms of etiquette, it was difficult for outsiders to say otherwise.
After hearing Tan Ma's report, Yue Lengqiu turned his head and asked Deng Yu: "Zi Yu, what do you think the Huaidong Army's next deployment will be?"
At present, the outside world cannot guess Lin Fu's arrangements for Jiangxi's defense.
Judging from the current situation, the three divisions of the Changshan Army, Zhang Gou's troops went south via Fuzhou, and Zhao Qingshan's troops in eastern Fujian attacked the remnants of the She family who were defending northern Fujian; Zhang Jiheng's troops followed Lin Fu and stationed in Yuzhang; the newly-organized Yu Wencheng
The Ministry is temporarily responsible for the defense within Jiangzhou.
At this time, the three divisions of the Chongcheng Army, except for Chen Zhi's troops who suffered heavy casualties in the Shangrao War and temporarily moved to Ganzhou for rest and recuperation, Tang Fuguan's troops and Liu Zhenzhi's troops all entered Duchang and other cities on the east bank of Poyang Lake temporarily.
Stationed.
The two main infantry battalions of the Huaidong Army are currently concentrated in Jiangxi. The total number of troops reaches 90,000, but they are scattered everywhere. It seems that there are scattered soldiers everywhere, which is difficult to figure out.
Deng Yu raised his head and looked into the distance and said: "I thought Chongguo Gong would transfer the main force of the Chongcheng army to Yuzhang for rest and reorganization. I didn't expect that he would only lead one town into Yuzhang - what arrangements would Chongguo Gong have in Jiangxi?"
, so that people can’t see through it?”
"Perhaps Duke Chongguo wants to show Huang Binghao his sincerity in peace talks." Yue Zhi said.
"Sincerity?" Yue Lengqiu shook his head and said, "The greatest sincerity is to gather troops under Yuanzhou City and ask Huang Binghao to bow his head in recognition - maybe Chong Guogong is still worried that the Cao family will not be able to survive the autumn queen, right?"
"Jiangning and Jinghu are all hoping that the Huaidong Army can cross the river immediately to pursue the She family," Deng Yu said. "Perhaps Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi's troops will cross the river and enter Huangmei after taking a short rest in Duchang!"
"It's unlikely," Yue Lengqiu shook his head and said, "The She family crossed the Yangtze River and fled north, clearly intending to surrender to Yanhu. If the She family is determined to surrender to Yanhu, the entire western front will change drastically. Now, Luo Xiancheng has no intention of betraying him.
They were enemies of Huaidong and Huaixi, but they gave up the Han River channel west of Suizhou. If the main force of Huaidong troops crossed the river to pursue the She family, the remnants of the She family would march north along the east bank of the Han River and storm Nanyang.
If the threat of Luo Xiancheng is not eliminated, will the Huaidong Army dare to pursue them along the narrow channel on the east bank of the Han River, risking a flank attack?"
"That's right, maybe before the She family is destroyed and the flank threat is not eliminated, the main force of the Huaidong Army may collide head-on with the main force of the Yanhu cavalry," Deng Yu sighed, "Rather than hastily crossing the river, it is better to stabilize the position in Jiangzhou first.
It’s hard to fight this lost dog of the She family!”
Speaking of this, Yue Lengqiu, Yue Zhi and others all looked bitter.
The She family is a trapped beast still fighting, and the situation in Jinghu is very complicated. It may not be beneficial for the main force of the Huaidong Army to rush north across the river, and it may not be able to accurately grasp the fighting opportunities.
The key to the Cao family's decision to stay or stay in Guanzhong is the biggest variable - if the Huaidong Army crosses the river to pursue the She family, the Cao family fails to hold on in Guanzhong, allowing the Yanhu cavalry to quickly use the western front to move south from Guanzhong.
, the Huaidong Army will be unusually passive.
No one could guess what Lin Fu had in mind, but in order to save others, Deng Yu believed that the Huaidong Army's best choice at the moment was to gather troops in Jiangzhou and stabilize Jiangzhou's position first.
Jiangzhou is the northern gateway of Jiangxi, and heavy troops are stationed in Jiangzhou, which is conducive to the stability of Jiangxi.
Jiangzhou is dependent on Jinghu from the east to the west and faces each other across the river. As long as the Huaidong Army has a firm foothold in Jiangzhou, even if the situation in Jinghu collapses and the Yanhu cavalry moves south in large numbers, they will stop at Jinghu and will not go south in the short term.
Spreading eastward.
The Huaidong Army's defense of Jiangzhou will also buy Huaidong more time to integrate Jiangnan's resources.
As long as Huaidong fully integrates the resources in the south of the Yangtze River, even if Yanhu is asked to occupy Guanshan and Jinghu one after another, it will at least be able to compete with others. The situation is not too bad.
He assumed the worst about Lin Fu, and Lin Fu should do the same.
When Yanhu breaks through from the west, the ones under greatest pressure are Jinghu Hu Wenmu and Huaixi, who are both flanked and frontally attacked by Yanhu. Once the power of Jinghu and Huaixi is completely weakened, who else in the world can stop Lin Fu from taking over?
Yuan's world?
Of course, if Lin Fu arranges things like this, it will be the most detrimental to Chizhou.
If Lin Fu wants to stabilize his position in Jiangzhou, he will inevitably transfer Tang Fuguan's troops who are temporarily stationed in Duchang, and Liu Zhenzhi's troops will quickly fill in Jiangzhou.
Together with the newly formed Yu Wencheng Division, Huaidong will have assembled three infantry divisions in Jiangzhou, plus the main force of the Jinghai Third Water Battalion, and the total force will reach more than 70,000 people - by this time,
The Chizhou Army will also be completely marginalized.
Once the Chizhou Army is marginalized, it will not be far away from disbandment; it will be extremely difficult for Yue Lengqiu to retain the establishment of the Chizhou Army.
Thinking of this, Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and others all felt that the future of Chizhou Army was worrying.
Surrounded by the Huaidong Army's hundreds of thousands of troops, Lin Fu still held the imperial court's righteousness in his hands, leaving the marginalized Chizhou Army no room for struggle.
Yue Lengqiu squinted at a group of cavalry coming from the boundary monument. Seeing Deng Yu, Yue Zhi frowned and said: "Currently, the commander of Chongcheng Army is Zhou Tong, the commander of Changshan Army is Ao Canghai, and the commander of Lin
It is impossible for Fu to be called Zhou Tong, and Ao Canghai stayed in Jiangzhou to take charge. Therefore, the Huaidong Army's next deployment may still have major changes, and it may not be what we have guessed... It's just that this change cannot be figured out by outsiders.
" Yue Lengqiu said with a bitter smile.
In addition to the naval army, the Huaidong Army has five major generals: Liu Miaozhen, who guards Xuzhou; Ning Zechen, who guards Shanyang; Zhao Hu, who controls the Jiangning forbidden camp army; and Zhou Tong and Ao Canghai.
Lin Fu would not have the luxury of putting Zhou Tong and Ao Canghai in Jiangzhou.
At present, Ao Canghai is in Jiangzhou, assuming the garrison of Jiangzhou and presiding over the military and political affairs of Jiangzhou. Ge Cunxin leads the water camp as his deputy. Zhou Tong leads Tang Fuguan, and Liu Zhenzhi rests in Duchang. Perhaps Zhou Tong's next appointment,
It will determine the deployment and adjustment direction of the Huaidong Army.
"Will the Chongguo Association agree to ask Zhou Tong to go to Luzhou to replace Cao Ziang?" Deng Yu asked.
"I hope so." Yue Lengqiu sighed.
Once Jinghu collapses and Huaixi's two wings are hit, the pressure will be the greatest, and Dong Yuan may not be able to sustain it. Lin Fu must be prepared to prevent Dong Yuan from being able to sustain it, so it is necessary to strengthen Luzhou's defense. In fact, the Privy Council has been communicating with each other for more than a year.
Luzhou invested a lot of resources. In addition to the third cavalry brigade organized and trained by General Sun Zhuang in Luzhou, the scale of the supply troops also increased sharply.
From here we can see Lin Fu's emphasis on Luzhou and his defense against Dong Yuan in Huaixi.
Zhou Tong led his troops to move to Luzhou, which will further consolidate the defense line outside Jiangning, but at the same time it will greatly reduce the troops stationed in Jiangzhou. The Huaidong Army on the Jiangzhou side can only focus on defending Jiangning, and against
Jinghu on the north bank no longer has the advantage in military strength.
If the Chizhou Army goes north, it can also play the role of containing the She family from the side and rear, and Luo Xiancheng can support Jinghu.
As long as the Chizhou Army can still play a role in defense, it will escape the fate of being decisively eliminated by Lin Fu.
This is the result that Yue Lengqiu most hopes to see, and it is also the result that Yue Lengqiu strives for when he goes to see Lin Fu this time. It is also the most likely choice at present to save the Chizhou Army; or to persuade Lin Fu to fight Huang Binghao and call Huaidong
A force was restrained in Yuanzhou.
As he was thinking about it, he soon saw the cavalry coming from Huaidong clearly. Yu Wencheng drove his horse to greet him. He dismounted and saluted: "General Canghai, General Cunxin has military affairs in Jiangzhou and cannot come all the way to greet him. I have specially ordered the last general Yu Wencheng."
