Chapter nine hundred and eighty second things can not be done
At the top of the city of Xiangzhou, looking at the water of the Xiangjiang River rolling north, Changsha Wang Chen Shujian, who had just arrived, had mixed feelings.
The last time I left Xiangzhou, Nanchen was at the height of its power. The mighty army crossed the river and rushed towards Shouchun, clearing away the haze of the defeat at Jiangling and restoring the territory of the heyday of the Southern Dynasty.
impossible.
But who would have thought that in just a few years, it would flourish and decline.
Looking at the battle report that had just been delivered, Chen Shujian no longer had the heart to express any emotion.
Gu Jue surrendered to Li Xinchen, and then came under Li Xinchen's command, as well as the prefectures west of the Xiang River. Most of these prefectures were actually mountains and forests and desolate land, but after all, they occupied a large enough area and were in
The territory is also integrated with Nanzhong, which Li Xinchen gradually strengthened his control, so that the power Li Xinchen developed in Jingzhou can communicate with the power of Nanzhong unimpeded, without the need to go north and detour.
What's more important is that Li Xingchen can directly reach Jiaozhou whether he goes west from Nanzhong or all the way from Jingnan, and Jiaozhou and ** are the rear area of Nanchen and the land of Longxing in Nanchen, not to mention
Nanchen doesn't have many troops there, and even to maintain its current perfect rule, it has to rely on the help of local indigenous people. The most famous of them are naturally the Feng family and the *** who will be talked about even in later generations.
.
It is said that these ** families once participated in Chen Shuling's rebellion, which also led to the fact that after Shen Jungao and Fu Wei were demoted to the imperial court, the relationship with these ** families was not harmonious. If Li Xingchen took this opportunity to enter the **, then Nan Chen would be in Hunan
The defense line around the state is really ineffective.
"Gu Jue, Gu Jue, you are really doing a lot of harm to people!" Chen Shujian said coldly.
At this time, Xiangzhou Governor Chen Shushen and Navy General Qi Xin, who were striding up the city tower, glanced at each other subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Chen Shushen was the sixteenth son of Chen Xu. As his name suggests, he had a gentle temperament and was named the King of Yueyang. After Chen Shujian returned to Jiankang Mansion, for the sake of safety, the court still let this young prince who would not cause trouble at a glance take charge.
For the defense of Xiangzhou, after all, Yueyang is to the north of Xiangzhou, which can be regarded as the principle of proximity. However, in the previous battle of Jingzhou, Chen Shushen considered that the number of soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou was not very large, plus Suizhou and Huaihe in the north
There were also enemies in the west area that were directly threatening to move south, so they did not send troops to support them. This was because they were afraid that Chen Shujian would be blamed.
As for Qi Xin, of course, even though the main responsibility for the Battle of Yiling did not lie with the Jingzhou Navy, the Jingzhou Navy did not stop the enemy navy from moving forward, and was even chased by the Shu Han Navy all the way to the outside of Yingzhou City, losing troops and generals.
An unknown number of warships were burned to the ground, and some small warships along the route that assisted in the defense of local cities were even wiped out.
The Jingzhou Navy, which was seriously injured and lost control of the river, naturally retreated in large strides. At this time, it was naturally unrealistic to retreat into the Mian River, so Qi Xin simply retreated all the way to Baling, relying on Dongtingkou and the Xiang River to set up camp.
The Eight Hundred Miles Dongting is one of the core components of Yunmeng Daze. In the past, Yunmeng Daze could not be seen to the edge at a glance, which made the people who visited the southern patrol lament the vastness of the mist. At the same time, they also became more and more aware of the eastward patrol
The idea of going to see the sea.
But later, with the accumulation of sediment, Yunmeng Daze was gradually replaced by more mountains and forests, and was divided into several parts. The Eight Hundred Miles Dongting is the main body, and in addition there is Magu Lake to the east.
(the predecessor of Hong Lake) and Dachan Lake (today's Huarong area) to the west, but the former has been obviously separated from the Dongting water system, while the latter has turned into swamps and wilderness over the years, such as Huarong Road, which was originally a waterway, and
Now it has become swamps and wetlands.
But no matter what, in this era, the 800-mile Dongting is still a strategic location in the middle reaches of the river. It can enter the river from the outside and protect the Xiangjiang River and Xiangzhou from the inside. It has also been used for training navy and military personnel for a long time.
The importance of offense and defense, Qi Xin's choice may not be an exaggeration in this situation.
But after all, the other two participants in the Yiling Battle - Lu Zhongsu and Gu Jue - had already surrendered to Li Xingchen and were reused - of course for Jiang Ren, being able to stay in place is actually reuse, not to mention
Lu Zhongsu's rise from internal history to governor was a real step to the top.
In this case, it is difficult to guarantee that Qi Xin will not have any ideas, so Chen Shujian is very likely to replace Qi Xin under the guise of pursuing responsibility, so Qi Xin is still very worried. However, judging from Chen Shujian's performance today, this responsibility
It should fall on Gu Jue.
They all noticed the change in the other's expression. Obviously Qi Xin and Chen Shushen also knew what the other was thinking. We are all smart people. At this time, they could only sigh in their hearts.
When a dynasty is in danger, and the important ministers and royal family of the dynasty have begun to think about not taking responsibility for the crime, there is no possibility of sustaining it.
This day is just a matter of muddling along, as long as I can hold on, it will be a day. At least now Li Xingchen is still in Gongan County, and he will not go to the city today, and it is not yet time to decide whether to live or die immediately. What's more, when it comes, it will be dead.
Whether they live and where they live is still up to them.
Chen Shujian also heard the footsteps behind him and looked over: "Both the police and Songzi have fallen. The current situation is not good."
Chen Shushen smiled bitterly: "The soldiers have no fighting spirit, the generals have no determination, and their morale is low. This battle is really difficult to fight. It seems that we all misjudged that the person who is the hussar general, Jingnan is just one-sided."
The enemy has already collapsed like this, but at least an isolated city in Gangneung is still holding on."
Qi Xin shook his shoulders uncomfortably. He knew that King Yueyang had always been cautious and would never say anything he shouldn't have said. Therefore, this might just be a casual comment, but under this situation, Qi Xin listened.
Chen Shushen's words still seem to have some insinuation.
Chen Shujian said in a deep voice: "Jiangling can't hold on for long, and it makes no sense for our troops to advance rashly now."
As he spoke, Chen Shujian glanced at Qi Xin, which made Qi Xin want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in directly. There were still a few soldiers and horses in Xiangzhou, but outside Dongting, the world was already dominated by the Shu Han Navy.
There was no way to transport troops and horses to Jiangling, so as a naval general, Qi Xin must bear certain responsibilities.
"Practice harder. After Jingzhou, it's us." Chen Shujian felt increasingly irritable inside and waved his hand impatiently.
Of course, Chen Shushen and Qi Xin knew that there would be no good results if they stayed here, so they immediately resigned. Chen Shujian stretched out his hands to support the battlements, and Li Xingchen carried out Lechang and Gu Yewang. Who knows whether there will be Xu Ling in the future.
After all, the southeastern gentry have begun to turn to Li Xingchen, such as He Xingche and other old people who once held high positions in Nanchen. (To be continued)
