Guo Guangbi is a very ambitious man, and his vision is by no means limited to Xingzhou. After learning that Guo Guangbi has recovered Yunze Heishui Village, Jiang Zhengyang already knows that Guo Guangbi's ultimate goal is to take away the entire Dakang. He must first become
The generation of overlords on the north bank of the Yongjiang River. The 300,000 grains that Hu Xiaotian supported the capital became the link between Jiang Zhengyang and Guo Guangbi. Their common interests brought them together. They wanted to solve the food problem and become the most powerful one on the north bank of the Yongjiang River.
, they must unite to defeat Wuxing County and snatch the fruits of Hu Xiaotian's victory.
Jiang Zhengyang took all development for granted. Hu Xiaotian rejected him at first. He was so stingy that he refused to lend him a grain of rice while sitting in Dongluocang. He watched himself and his brothers go to a dead end. If Hu Xiaotian was willing to lend him the money in the first place,
If the grain is given to him, Jiang Zhengyang may not defect to Guo Guangbi, or may not make up his mind to rebel.
Zunda also came to Jiang Zhengyang from the front of the team and said respectfully: "Sir, two thousand troops from Baiquan City have come to greet him."
Jiang Zhengyang smiled and said: "Zuo Xingjian is still so restless."
Zu Da was deeply moved and said: "Master Zuo's side is almost out of food."
When it comes to food, Jiang Zhengyang's eyes can't help but turn to the team transporting food ahead, and he suddenly becomes eager. From now on, they don't have to worry about food problems. It only takes half a month for these soldiers under him to complete the correction.
If they can regain their former vitality, then they will send their troops north, join forces with Guo Guangbi to capture Wuxing County, and take away all the food in Hu Xiaotian's hands. You forced me! Jiang Zhengyang said silently in his heart.
It was also snowing in Cangmu County. Zhan Peng quickly walked into Yu Tianxing's tent, took off his bamboo hat, and shook off the snowflakes from his shoulders: "Military advisor!"
Yu Tianxing asked: "How is the situation?"
Zhan Peng said: "My lord personally led 6,000 naval troops to Yunze yesterday at noon. It is estimated that they will arrive tonight at the latest. Jiang Zhengyang's grain transport team has been delayed due to snow. It seems that it will arrive at midnight today.
It’s about time we arrive at Baiquan City.”
Yu Tianxing nodded. He walked towards the north wall, stared at the map hanging on the wall for a long time, and whispered: "It seems that Jiang Zhengyang's real destination is indeed Yunze."
Zhan Peng said in confusion: "Military advisor, judging from Jiang Zhengyang's current marching route, there is nothing suspicious."
Yu Tianxing said: "Jiang Zhengyang's current situation is that he cannot protect himself. The emperor asked him to come to transport grain, so how could he miss the opportunity? It is inevitable that he will swallow up one hundred thousand shi of grain, but I did not expect that he would actually choose to go south."
Zhan Peng, like many others, is still not sure that Jiang Zhengyang will rebel.
Yu Tianxing explained: "The soldiers of Yunyang City almost came out in overwhelming numbers. This in itself is full of doubts. As a veteran with many years of leadership experience, how could Jiang Zhengyang make such a low-level mistake? To his northwest is Xingzhou, giving up defense
It’s like taking the initiative to open the door to Guo Guangbi.”
Zhan Peng said: "That's why the lord and the military advisor suspected that Jiang Zhengyang and Guo Guangbi had already reached a tacit understanding secretly."
Yu Tianxing nodded and said: "I ignored Yunze, but my lord, with his sharp eyes, discovered Jiang Zhengyang's other possible retreat in time. If Jiang Zhengyang reaches an agreement with the Yunze water thieves, once the grain is transported to Yunze, we will try to find it again.
It’s difficult.”
Zhan Peng said: "Why must we take risks to seize food? After all, Jiang Zhengyang's men have 30,000 soldiers. And Guo Guangbi's men also have 60,000 men. It seems that our current situation is not suitable for making too many enemies." In his opinion, anyway,
These 300,000 shi of food must be given away, and it doesn’t matter who it is given to.
Yu Tianxing said: "If Jiang Zhengyang rebels, these 100,000 shi of food will be enough to restore the strength of his soldiers. Just relying on these 100,000 shi of food, Jiang Zhengyang cannot completely solve the problem, so his next step is probably to join forces.
Guo Guangbi attacked us from both sides."
Zhan Peng said: "So these 100,000 shi of grain must not fall into their hands."
Yu Tianxing nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses sent by Xingzhou are intended to attract our attention so that we can ignore Jiang Zhengyang's attention. According to my estimation, their real attack must be to ensure food security to achieve their goal.
After the earth.”
Zhan Peng said with worry: "My lord only brought 6,000 naval troops to Yunze, but the opponent's strength is more than 40,000. Isn't this a very risky time?"
Yu Tianxing smiled and said: "My lord is a man of great wisdom and courage. What he wants to deal with is not Jiang Zhengyang. It is the Yunze water thieves who went to rescue Jiang Zhengyang. As long as the water thieves go to rescue the ship, Jiang Zhengyang will be destroyed."
As a way out, he only has one choice left."
Only when Zhan Peng heard this did he fully understand and admired Yu Tianxing even more.
After the chirping of the sculptures, the figures of two snow sculptures appeared on the Wangchun River. When the snow sculptures flew over the bow of the ship, Xia Changming jumped down from a height of three feet and landed lightly on the bow deck, like dead leaves falling to the ground, without any traces.
The sound came and went every two hours.
Hu Xiaotian and others came out of the cabin to greet them. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Changming is back, how is the situation?"
Xia Changming bowed and clasped his fists, saying: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!"
Hu Xiaotian greeted: "Let's wait until the cabin is warmer!"
Xia Changming flew to Yunze along the Wangchun River and found traces of enemy ships in Yunze Qingyu Bay. About 500 large and small ships had gathered in Qingyu Bay, and they should be preparing to respond. The exact number of people is unknown, but most of the ships were empty, so it should not be
There were too many troops. When he returned from Yunze, he chose to march along the official road. On the way, he found a food transport convoy. The convoy was currently about fifty miles away from Baiquan City and was expected to arrive at Qingyu Bay this evening.
After listening to Xia Changming's report, Li Yongfu was convinced of Hu Xiaotian's previous judgment. The five hundred ships in Qingyu Bay must have come prepared.
Hu Xiaotian asked Xia Changming to go to the cabin to rest first. Li Yongfu took a map of the water system around Yunze, pointed to the location of Qingyu Bay, and whispered: "My lord, this is it!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Jiang Zhengyang will not go to Baiquan City. He will choose to go directly to Qingyu Bay to transport the 100,000 stones of grain to Bixin Mountain as soon as possible."
Li Yongfu said: "We only need to sink these five hundred ships before Jiang Zhengyang arrives at Qingyu Bay."
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "The attack cannot be too early. We must wait for Jiang Zhengyang to load the grain into the ship before launching the attack."
Li Yongfu asked in shock: "Why?" He immediately understood Hu Xiaotian's intention. Hu Xiaotian wanted to destroy this batch of food. If he launched an attack in advance, Jiang Zhengyang would definitely escape with this batch of food. The most likely option would be to enter Baiquan City. Although
Baiquan City is not a military fortress, but it has 100,000 stones of grain and nearly 40,000 soldiers. Its strength cannot be underestimated. After being cut off, Jiang Zhengyang may choose to make a short adjustment and then fight to the end, launching a crazy counterattack against Wuxing County.
But if this batch of grain is destroyed, Jiang Zhengyang will be forced into a desperate situation.
While Li Yongfu admired Hu Xiaotian's methods, he felt a little unbearable. After all, Jiang Zhengyang was his colleague, and Jiang Zhengyang's soldiers all belonged to Dakang. But Li Yongfu also understood that if Hu Xiaotian led them to survive among Dakang and Yongzhong, how could they survive?
Today's situation is really not easy, and their victory must not be ruined because of the kindness of women. Only today did Li Yongfu understand Hu Xiaotian's true intention of throwing out 300,000 shi of grain. The 300,000 shi of grain had already stirred up unknown
How many people are coveting it. Without these 300,000 shi of grain, Jiang Zhengyang might not be determined to rebel. But on second thought, if Hu Xiaotian insists on taking all the grain for himself, then they will inevitably become the target of public criticism. Hu Xiaotian's
The method is nothing more than keeping conflicts away from one's own territory and clearing surrounding obstacles at the same time.
Hu Xiaotian saw that Li Yongfu couldn't bear it, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother Yongfu, those soldiers are innocent. After this battle, Jiang Zhengyang's power will inevitably fall apart. We can be lenient to Yunyang's soldiers."
Li Yongfu said: "It's just that our current grain reserves cannot support so many soldiers."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "There is no perfect path for everyone. As long as we survive this severe winter, we will have spring when the flowers bloom."
Li Yongfu blinked. He seemed to realize something from Hu Xiaotian's words. Could it be that Hu Xiaotian had a clear plan for future development. He was already convinced of this lord. Hu Xiaotian's farsightedness was definitely beyond his own reach.
As for me, I just need to rest assured and do my duty as a general.
When night fell, the grain transport convoy had passed through Baiquan City. Although all the soldiers were exhausted, Jiang Zhengyang still had no intention of ordering a rest. Time was extremely important for them, and they had to capture the food before Hu Xiaotian and his party noticed.
All the food has been transported to Bixin Mountain. As long as they complete this strategic transfer, they will be invincible. The spies from the front reported that 500 ships from Yunze Heishui Village are already waiting at Qingyu Bay. As long as they
Once you arrive at Qingyu Bay, you can start loading.
Jiang Zhengyang still showed full vigilance. He asked Zu Da to lead a team of 3,000 people to go ahead to check the situation around Qingyu Bay in advance and confirm whether there were any ambush around. There was also an important person who boarded the ship one by one to check.
It was important to ensure that there were no problems with the ship. Although he had reached an agreement with Guo Guangbi, he lacked understanding of Ma Xingkong, the bandit leader of Blackwater Village. Guo Guangbi's relationship alone was not enough for him to fully trust Ma Xingkong.
Zu Da had just left. Zuo Xingjian, the governor of Baiquan City, personally led a thousand troops to protect the food. He said it was to protect the food, but in fact Zuo Xingjian was not at ease with Jiang Zhengyang, fearing that he would take away all the 100,000 shi of food.
At that time, wouldn’t it be that I was trying to draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain?
Of course Jiang Zhengyang understood what he was thinking. The two of them were marching side by side in the team. Zuo Xingjian looked at the motorcade that stretched for dozens of miles, and his face burst into laughter. One hundred thousand shi of food included his own share.
Baiquan City is just a small town. If Jiang Zhengyang had not chosen to pass by here, the good thing about food distribution would not have fallen on him. (To be continued.)
