Chapter 2081 Gui Zi Scroll: Encourage oneself to strengthen oneself, and support bandits to respect oneself
"Sir, I still don't understand what we plan to do next." Wang Chenghu was more straightforward than his brother, and he didn't have so much scheming. He asked directly: "Brother said that since we have followed you, what shall we do?"
We have to follow it to the end. We only have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Everyone is willing to risk their lives. However, the gangs in Boyan Village and Baitang Village are too powerful. We are far behind in every aspect. We originally thought we could
I pulled the people from Yuerhe Village over, but I didn’t expect them to be too scared, but the relationship between Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village and Boyan Village and Baitang Village are not bad..."
Liu Dingfeng knew what Wang Chenghu was worried about and smiled: "My lord, I have already exhausted my plan. The people in Yuerhe Village dare not challenge the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village. The people in Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Si Village are fighting
The people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village are closely related. It seems that we have no chance, but this is a superficial phenomenon. People from Datu Falcon Village and Boluosi Village are stranded in Bochuling. According to common sense, isn't this suspicious?"
Wang Chenghu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and then realized: "What do you mean, sir, is that the people in Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village are at odds with the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village?"
"It's hard to say whether there was a rift between face and heart in the past, but at least now the two sides have had a rift, or it's difficult to get together." Liu Dingfeng said leisurely: "It's not such a close relationship in the first place.
It was almost just a matter of communicating with each other from a distance, supporting each other and providing information when the Yulin army came to suppress the troops. Now the number of troops in Baitang Village in Boyan Village suddenly expanded to several times or even ten times. It turned out to be no less than their Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Village.
Can the people in Sizhai have a balance in their hearts? What will happen in the past? Should they listen to Boyan Village and Baitang Village, or stay away from them? There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the people. Who will command whom in the future? "
Liu Dingfeng's words made Wang Chenghu suddenly feel enlightened, but then he shook his head: "Sir, the situation of the people in these border forts is somewhat different from that of the rebels in the south. They are arrogant and will not surrender easily.
I'm afraid it won't work to let the people from Datu Falcon Village and Boluosi Village attack the people from Boyan Village and Baitang Village."
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it?" Liu Dingfeng seemed confident, "People always have weaknesses. They also have their own ideas in these forts. Do they just plan to run around like headless flies? I believe that
They have a vision and they will be moved by it.”
Liu Dingfeng's judgment was correct. At this time, Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village were in a dilemma.
Not far away for hundreds of miles from the northwest of Suide, I originally hoped to take advantage of the strong forces of Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village to take an extra share of the pie in the next attack on Wubao County, but they didn't.
I thought that the time to come has already passed.
The Waotian Banner was annexed, but Boyan Village and Baitang Village took the opportunity to gather the "heroes" in Yiheyi City, took the opportunity to integrate the various rebel armies, and became the "alliance leaders".
This situation suddenly became a little embarrassing when facing Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluo Temple Village.
Let's continue going south. The initiative has been taken by Boyan Village and Baitang Village. If we go there, we will inevitably be controlled by others. If we don't go, the two parties have already agreed, and the relationship is already relatively close, so we can't let go of feelings.
And if you don’t go, where can you go? Are you going to pick up leftovers behind others’ backs? With so many people there, will there be any leftovers for you to eat?
So when they heard that someone came to their door, and it was Wang Chengwu's envoy, they were also surprised, but there was a bit of joy inside.
No matter what, as long as there is a more suitable way, they will not refuse, at least they can choose it.
**********
"Chen Jixian went south to Yangzhou?" Feng Tang asked without looking up while reading his son's letter.
"Well, the troops have finally been sent out. This guy has been dragging his feet, and his subordinates have given him a lot of hints and reminders, but he is still hesitant. He is afraid that both sides will be displeased, but he doesn't look at the current situation and can tolerate him being hesitant and hesitant.
Is the wolf queen afraid of tigers?" The staff shook their heads repeatedly, "Fortunately, I was smarter after all, and the troops were dispatched very quickly. Now we have controlled Huai'an Mansion, and captured Shanyang City without bloodshed. As of the latest news, the vanguard has arrived.
Baoying, I guess we are almost heading towards Gaoyou Prefecture right now."
"Hey, with the advantage of canal transportation, it is indeed overwhelming. Don't say that Chen Jixian was wasting his time. At least the preparations made in the early stage were sufficient and they almost wiped out all kinds of ships in the Xuhuai area. In fact, it was already early in Shanyang.
It is controlled by his people, but it is still under the control of Nanjing. I am thinking about where we will get enough ships after we take over Xuzhou."
Feng Tang was still satisfied with Chen Jixian's actions.
It's a little slow, but they've done it meticulously enough.
In particular, the penetration into Huai'an Prefecture can be said to be successful. From the prefect to the magistrates of various counties and then to the local powerful gentry, more than a year of subtle influence can be said to be a natural success.
So when it comes time to actually take action, everything will be done as quickly as possible.
It can be seen that this guy has been coveting troops from Huai'an and Yangzhou for a long time and has started preparing for it. It was not his own reminder that prompted him to have this idea. His support was just a push along the way.
But what they said is correct. He was originally the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town, Huai'an and Yangzhou were originally under his jurisdiction, and Xuzhou was just an addition.
Although Xuzhou's geographical location is important, how can it compare with Huai'an and Yangzhou? Especially Yangzhou.
As the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town, he certainly has the right to decide where to move the town. Moving the town to Yangzhou is also a matter of course, especially since Nanjing has basically cut off food and salary supplies to Huaiyang Town during this year, so he can only rely on himself.
.
Therefore, even the Nanjing side only dared to criticize a few words indifferently. They were even afraid of scolding too much and irritating the other party. What if they really marched south from Yangzhou to Jinling?
"Sir, there is no need to worry. As long as Jining and Xuzhou are solved, the entire northern line of the canal will basically be connected. Ships from places like the capital and Hejian will continue to go south. Chen Jixian captured a lot of ships, but compared to
The ships on the entire canal are just a drop in the ocean, nothing to mention, and his subordinates believe that Chen Jixian will not be so unwise and capture Yangzhou and Huai'an. Isn't it the right time to run them and become a source of wealth for him to raise troops?
Dao?"
The staff saw this situation very clearly. If Chen Jixian took this step, if he could not take it back, Yangzhou would definitely not be the end. Even if he wanted to stop, we would force him to continue.
For our own side, the most urgent thing is to solve the Datong Army and Xuanfu Army entrenched in the line from Dongping Prefecture to Jining as soon as possible. However, Feng Tang also realized the seriousness of the situation. The Datong Army and Xuanfu Army were in Dongping Prefecture and
The front line in Jining Prefecture finally started to fight.
If this place is lost, and Chen Jixian's attitude in the south is erratic, they are not sure whether their fate will be ruined here, so they fight very tenaciously, far better than the previous battles in northern Shandong, allowing Feng Tang to
They all find it difficult.
"Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu will not be captured without mercy. If they were a little lazy in the early stage, they will fight for their lives now." Feng Tang put away the letter from his son.
The letter contained some confidential information that could not be understood by outsiders, only he could read it.
Once Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu are eliminated, the posts of governors of the three sides will be removed, so that's fine, but the Northwest Army may also be dismantled, so he will vigorously push Chen Jixian to go south to Huaihe
Yang, and even Jiangnan. Only in this way can the Northwest Army have the necessity to exist.
But Chen Jixian's move south does not mean that the crisis has been completely resolved. The Northwest Army has regained Shandong. What's the next step?
Chen Jixian will definitely not be able to withstand his Northwest Army. As long as he goes south, recovering Jiangnan will not be a problem. If Chen Jixian is eliminated and Jiangnan is recovered, he will still face the same problem.
The imperial court will not tolerate such an army entrenched in the Central Plains or Jiangnan. No matter who is the chief auxiliary or the emperor, it will not agree.
But can I give in? Not to mention the difficulty of working hard to build such an army, even if I want to retreat, I am afraid that the generals under me will not agree, otherwise it will fall apart and lead to chaos.
It turned into a major mutiny, which Feng Tang did not want to see.
He also asked his son, who has always been smart, about this question. The son's answer was that there was no solution. There is a contradiction between governing the country by civil servants and ruling the country by warriors. One is a dynasty in a conservative state in the retreat period, and the other is in a pioneering state.
dynasty, but this comparison is not appropriate, but that's what it means.
Ziying seemed to have a lot of thoughts, and Feng Tang could feel the ambition in his son's heart, which made him feel excited and relieved, but also a little worried and scared.
This contradictory mentality has been haunting him, making him sometimes want to take a step back, be a rich man, and live the rest of his life peacefully with children and grandchildren around him, but sometimes he feels that even his son has such lofty ambitions, and he
The current conditions are not bad, why can't we create a better foundation for our son?
The staff obviously could not guess what Feng Tang was thinking now. He was still immersed in his own thoughts: "As long as Yuncheng and Juye are captured, Sun Shaozu of Dongping Prefecture will not be able to stay any longer and can only retreat to the front line of Jining and Yanzhou. Now
Our scouts have discovered that there has been an obvious increase in military activity from Zouxian, Tengxian to Hanzhuang, indicating that Niu Jizong's army in Yanzhou is also showing signs of moving south. I estimate that Chen Jixian probably has contact with Niu Jizong, and this is to move Xuzhou
Leave it to Niu Jizong."
Feng Tang stroked his beard. This was an expected thing, but he had no intention of interfering. If he really wanted to completely annihilate Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu in Shandong, his own northwest army would probably be crippled, so what would be the benefit?
The word "self-respect for raising bandits" cannot be mentioned, but Feng Tang understands this truth.
