As a liaison, Feng Yi lives in Zhuyu Bay in the northwest of Yangzhou City these days and is responsible for coordinating the transfer of materials and personnel.
As the Right Shenwu Army was approaching the coast of Hangou, after receiving the news from Yin Peng and Wang Jun, Feng Yi and his two followers wanted to avoid the scouts and horses scattered by the Right Shenwu Army, and were unable to gallop on the vast wilderness.
He led several horses all the way through the forest and climbed ditches, and did not arrive at the Baiti Gang camp until late at night.
At this time, the camp meeting hall was still brightly lit. Seeing Han Qian, his brother Feng Liao, Guo Rong, Kong Xirong, Su Lie, Han Donghu, He Liufeng and Dou Rong who had recently moved north with the congregation, Feng Yi said:
"You all know that the main force of the navy has changed?"
"Seven days ago, the grain and grass escorted from Yueyang were not unloaded at Shuzhou where the grain was scheduled to be delivered. Instead, even the ship's crew were assigned to the Jingkou camp in Runzhou, so they noticed something was wrong. Today on the Yangtze River,
A large number of warships are heading east from Quarry, and the cavalry near Chuzhou City is marching eastward. No matter how slow we are, we still know what is going on." Han Qian held a charcoal pen, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the exhausted Feng Yi and asked
He said, "You rushed back from Yangzhou urgently. Did you get any more specific news in Yangzhou?"
"If I had known that you all had expected it, why would I need to make this trip so hard?" Feng Yi said incessantly, "Today, the wilderness west of Hangou is full of scouts from the Youshenwu Army, and we have to go through it all the way.
It was so hard for Lin to walk across the river!"
Then Feng Yi went on to talk in detail about how Zheng Chang, the imperial censor, took a boat overnight and rushed to Yangzhou City early in the morning to deliver the decree. He said: "This time, the Privy Council's performance was quite good. Several lines were arranged simultaneously and advanced at the same time. Yangzhou
The other side didn't notice it beforehand and was caught off guard. Under pressure from Zheng Chang, Wang Wenqian couldn't wait to ask Chuzhou for instructions, and was finally forced to agree to withdraw the Huaidong troops on both sides of Hangou to Yangzhou City and release the main force of the navy.
The warships marched north from Hangou..."
Feng Liao nodded and couldn't help but praise: "There are many inconveniences in sending a message, but the main force of the navy marched eastward along the Yangtze River, the cavalry of the Right Shenwu Army marched eastward by land, the soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army stationed in Chuzhou were moved and mobilized, and Zheng Chang rode overnight
The ship arrived in Yangzhou to convey the decree, and many preparations were made in Runzhou and Chuzhou for the early stage of the attack. In such a hurry, there were so many things to do, and they had to be kept strictly confidential from the generals below.
It's really not bad for the Privy Council to arrange things to this extent."
"In addition to the great talents of Chang Guo Gongzhi, Zhou Bingwu was one of the six famous generals in the founding of the country. He was appointed as the defense envoy of Yongjia. He only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands. He was able to prevent the separatist forces separatist forces in central Fujian from peeking into southern Zhejiang. Zhou Bingwu is currently in charge of
The daily affairs of the Privy Council, coupled with the fact that the officials of the Privy Council are basically selected strong generals and capable officials, are no worse than the Privy Council in the Niu Gengru and Wen Muqiao era,"
Guo Rong had several contacts with Zhou Bingwu. He spoke highly of Zhou Bingwu, who had served as the defense envoy of Yongjia and was transferred to Beijing as deputy privy envoy after Yang Yuanpu ascended the throne. He also spoke highly of the generals who served as privy councilors.
"Even though most of the generals in the Privy Council are descendants of noble families, they have just participated in the Battle of Jinling. Most of them are in their prime years and can be proactive and plan things very secretly. This is as it should be."
"So, the imperial court still has a good chance of succeeding this time?" Feng Yi asked with interest.
"Xu Mingzhen obviously ignored the possibility of the main force of the Navy quickly advancing northward from Hangou and entering Hongzepu," Feng Liao said. "As of now, there are no signs of Shouzhou scout activities west of Hangou. Maybe we have to wait until
When a naval warship enters Fanliang Lake, the Lou Chuanjun's spies lurking deep in the lake will notice it. But when these spies pass the news back to Haozhou City, the troops stationed in various villages to the west of Hongzepu
If the Lou Chuanjun adjusts its deployment, the time may be insufficient..."
"Ah, once the Louchuan Army suffers a heavy blow, it means that Fanliang Lake, the area west of Hongzepu, including Shiliang County, will become a hinterland tightly controlled by the Forbidden Army!" Feng Yi said with a frown.
Han Qian nodded. He chose this place as the foothold of the Chishan Society because he thought that it would serve as a buffer zone for the three forces. It would be difficult for anyone to tightly control this place, so that there would be room for the Chishan Society to survive. But if the remnants of the Lou Chuan Army were attacked
If they were severely damaged and expelled from Hongzepo, and even Haozhou was successfully recovered, the imperial court would inevitably station heavy troops on the south side of Hongzepo, which would be equivalent to the Chishan Society's living space here being directly squeezed out.
"What should we do here? Give up Baitigang and break it into pieces?" Feng Yi asked unwillingly.
Sometimes it is true that plans do not change quickly, but if I really want to give up spending so much effort to build the large-scale Baitigang camp and reduce the evacuated more than 5,000 left-wing Guangde Army's old headquarters and their families into small pieces, I feel nervous no matter how much I think about it.
Not willingly!
Han Qian turned his sight back to the map, using more detailed and accurate information than what Feng Yi had brought back, and considering how to adjust it so that their countermeasures would have fewer loopholes.
"By the way, when Sima Yinpeng of Yangzhou came to summon me, Wang Jun was also there. He also specifically said that the navy was used as a partial force to attack Hongzepu. It was the ambitious and talented Duke of Chang State, Li Pu, who offered his advice to Yang Yuanpu." Feng Yi thought at this time.
One thing, say it.
"What?" Feng Liao asked in surprise.
Xi Rong had just made tea and brought it over. When she heard Feng Yi's words, the tea cup fell to the ground and shattered with a "pop".
"Why, why are you reacting so bigly?" Feng Yi asked in surprise.
Han Qian slapped his forehead in pain and almost groaned!
Guo Rong, Dou Rong, Kong Xirong, He Liufeng, Su Lie, Han Donghu and others were all confused. Like Feng Yi, they did not understand that Feng Liao, Xi Rong and Han Qian would be so surprised when they heard that Feng Yi said that the attack was the result of Li Pu's suggestion.
Big reaction.
"Are you sure Wen Ruilin was behind the instigation?" Feng Liao also couldn't believe the facts in front of him, and looked at Han Qian with a slight hesitation and asked.
"Wen Ruilin has a problem, and you knew that Wen Ruilin had a problem as early as when you regained Wuling City?" Feng Yi asked in surprise.
At this time, he also remembered all the details after they captured Wuling City and Wen Ruilin was captured by them.
At that time, Wen Ruilin wanted to propose a strategy to capture Tanzhou to Han Qian, but Han Qian ignored it. Later, Li Chong secretly left the city and sent his father Li Pu to Wuling City to adopt Wen Ruilin's strategy. Later, under Wen Ruilin's advice,
, successively persuaded Gao Long, Miao Yong and other Majia tribe generals to surrender, and then successfully captured Tanzhou.
He didn't think deeply about it at the time. He really thought that Han Qian deliberately gave up his merit to Li Pu to hide his clumsiness. Unexpectedly, Han Qian not only wanted to hide his clumsiness, but also had a deeper intention of inserting a time bomb into Li Pu, his biggest enemy at the time.
general.
Guo Rong didn't know much about the details at that time, but he could tell a rough idea from Feng Liao and Feng Yi's words. He was also shocked and asked: "If the entire attack strategy, Liang Guo through Wen Ruilin, borrowed
Duke Chang Guo’s hands are a trap dug for the Chu navy, what should we do?”
"It's really a trap. If I had known this, I shouldn't have sent Wen Ruilin as a time bomb to Li Pu! Those who use power are always prone to backfire, so be careful!" Han Qian said with a bitter smile, regretting it so much.
I wish I could slap myself in the face.
"Wang Jun is really not simple. She could guess that there was something wrong with Li Pu's advice, so she deliberately asked Feng Yi to remind us, otherwise things would be worse." Xi Yin knelt down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Guo Rong asked: "Should we immediately send a letter to Beijing to inform the matter?"
"Who can believe me?" Han Qian asked with a wry smile.
Guo Rong was also stunned. In the final analysis, the imperial court used troops in this way because it was afraid that Xuzhou and Huaidong might collude with the Anning Palace rebels.
If they send people to report the news at this time, not only will they not be trusted, Chishan Society's deployment in eastern Chuzhou will most likely be exposed.
At that time, Emperor Yanyou and his court officials would be even more suspicious of Xuzhou, and they might kill Chishanhui so hard that the old troops of Zuo Guangde Army would be killed with their heads rolling to the ground!
Feng Yi was stunned, not knowing what to do; Feng Liao was frowning, not to mention Dou Rong, He Liufeng, Su Lie, Han Donghu and others.
Han Qian stood in front of the lamp and said with a sigh after a long time: "I don't want to be a traitor, but maybe I am destined to be a traitor in this life..."
Hearing what Han Qian said, Feng Liao's expression perked up and he said loudly: "The main force of the Dachu Navy is in danger of being destroyed. Your Excellency, you should lead the Xuzhou Water Camp to replace it, protect the land and the people, and make it difficult for Liang Jun to see the Jianghuai River.
You only care about your reputation!"
Hearing what Feng Liao said, Guo Rong also thought about what decision Han Qian was going to make and what Feng Liao's suggestion was.
To put it bluntly, no matter how the situation develops and evolves next, they will send people back to Xuzhou in advance to convey the order and transfer the water camp to the east. At the same time, they will also formally assemble the old Zuo Guangde Army in Baitigang to prepare for any disaster.
.
Even though the main force of the Left and Right Wuya Army was unfortunately hit hard at Hongzepu, it would still take about a month for the main force of the Liang Army to cross the Huaihe River and go south.
Including the time for sending the message, Xuzhou Water Camp can enter the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in about a month, replacing the annihilated left and right Wuya Army, and becoming the main force of the Chu Navy that contacts the south and north of the Yangtze River and prevents the rebels and Liang Jun's navy from entering the Jianghuai River.
However, if that were to happen, especially after the revelation that Wen Ruilin was Liang's traitor, everyone in the world would conclude that all this was a conspiracy that Han Qian had deployed when he regained Wuling City in the early stages of the vassal war.
And even if Han Qian can control the main force of the Chu navy and the court can't take advantage of him, in the eyes of the people in the world, he will still be a traitor who will do anything to seek power.
With Wang Lin's incident in front of him, Han Qian would not even have room to defend himself.
If the main force of the left and right Wuya Army was not severely damaged in Hongzepu and escaped back to the Yangtze River by chance, and its strength was preserved, and the mobilization of the Xuzhou water camp would not be suspended at any time due to the inconvenience of transmitting information at this time, it would become an unauthorized departure from Xuzhou without an edict.
, which is tantamount to rebellion.
At that time, Han Qian would have no choice but to break up with Da Chu. Even if he could lead Xuzhou Shuiying and the old Zuoguang De Army troops to escape back to Xuzhou, he would have the only option to separate Chenxu Siye Prefectures and establish themselves on their own.
At this time, Guo Rong also thought of another question and asked: "As long as Xuzhou Shuiying is advancing eastward, its strength is still too weak. Once Liang Jun is defeated, how can we protect ourselves in Jianghuai?"
At this time, a message was immediately sent to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou's soldiers and horses came out in full force, which was only 3,000 elite navy troops.
The Xuzhou Water Camp may be able to rely on their warships and sharp weapons to repel the remnants of the Lou Chuan Army on the Yangtze River, ensuring that the south and north of the Yangtze River are not separated, and ensuring that the main force of the Forbidden Army outside Chaozhou City will not become a lonely army, but they can also
We must consider the situation after Liang Jun was repulsed.
When the time comes, Han Qian's plans will be known to the whole world.
Not to mention Emperor Yanyou, all the princes in the court will hate Han Qian to the core.
However, Da Chu can still gather 200,000 elites in Jianghuai and occupy most of the prefectures and counties in Jianghuai. With only Xuzhou Water Camp and the old Zuoguang De Army troops, it will be a problem for them to protect themselves in Jianghuai.
At that time, they may be forced to return to Xuzhou and become the first target to be exterminated by the Chu court.
Guo Rong's question shocked many people, but Han Qian was fascinated by the lights on the case.
Feng Liao looked at Han Qian hesitantly and asked, "Do you think you can make a fuss about self-protection on Li Zhigao?"
"I don't know if it's right or wrong to take this step. Maybe this is the only choice. I can't cause the heads of Zuo Guangde's old army to fall to the ground again!" Han Qian's eyes revealed a little confusion, but he quickly
Then he became determined, picked up his pen and ink, and drafted an order to mobilize the Xuzhou Water Camp to move eastward immediately.
In order to prevent accidents, Han Qian drafted three identical letters of order at the same time and prepared to arrange for three people to rush back to Xuzhou to deliver the order.
At this moment, Guo Rong couldn't help but ask Feng Liao in a low voice: "What can I write about Li Zhigao?"
Feng Liao whispered to Guo Rong, but Guo Rong was stunned. He never expected that Li Zhigao would have such a big story to write about!
However, just as Han Qian said, it is really difficult for anyone to predict how the situation will develop in the future.
Han Qian drafted the order letter and asked Kong Xirong to immediately arrange for three people to rush back to Xuzhou to deliver the order. Afterwards, he told Su Lie and Han Donghu: "The Chishan Association will mobilize the elite combat power and sneak to Baitigang immediately. The others will wait.
Evacuate and hide on the spot to prevent any unexpected events!"
