Chapter 446 of Gui Zi Scroll: Making plans and making decisions, killing and killing
Text Volume Gui Zi Volume Chapter 446 Making plans and decisions to kill Cao Wenzhao hadn't even joined the battle group when he saw Denglai Navy and Liaodong arguing. Feng Ziying also found it a bit funny. .
Everyone wants to take credit, everyone wants to seize the greatest credit and benefits, but Feng Ziying does not think this is a bad thing, and her increased confidence means that this battle is not far behind.
But there is some truth to what Mao Wenlong said. Even if Huaiyang Town may indeed be corrupted, it is impossible for Chen Jixian's 10,000 pro-army troops to have no fighting capacity and will to fight. They know that if Chen Jixian is defeated, they will not have a good outcome.
Therefore, Chen Jixian's pro-army forces must be completely eliminated in order to be able to claim a complete Yangzhou, and the situation in Yangzhou must be resolved and controlled in a relatively short period of time.
Feng Ziying waved her hand:
Neither Cao Wenzhao nor Shen Yourong interrupted. These two old foxes knew that it was useless to argue now. They would have to wait until the intelligence from Yangzhou came back before they could make countermeasures.
Hou Chengzu was quite meticulous in his work.
Feng Ziying stopped and said,
Cao Wenzhao asked in a deep voice:
Feng Ziying said slowly and authentically:
Shen Yourong also supported:
Feng Ziying nodded:
The intelligence from the Ministry of War was passed back one after another, and people from Long Jinwei also came to summarize the latest intelligence and the situation of some officials. What Feng Ziying valued most was the intelligence Wu Yaoqing got from Yangzhou. , this is the most reliable, intuitive and targeted.
The news about Long Jinwei basically focused on people, involving the entire Yangzhou Prefecture and high-level officials in Huaiyang Town.
"Deputy Commander Lu Ji lost 6,000 taels of silver at the Tiangou Casino seven days ago. For this reason, he asked his subordinates to kidnap the son of Lang Yongbao, the actual controller of the Tiangou Casino through the Yangtze River bandit Huang Tianlang. He asked for a ransom of 30,000 taels..."
Before Prince Yitada officially ascended the throne, the tacit understanding between the imperial court and Nanjing was to maintain the status quo. They would wait until Prince Yitada ascended the throne to correct the deviation and return to the original pattern.
A series of various intelligences or news came out from the hundred-household account of Long Jinwei, leaving everyone here speechless. The chaos in Huaiyang Town was really a bit unexpected. The deputy commander-in-chief and the staff general were just like this. Morality, I'm afraid, really has a lot to do with the fact that Huaiyang Town has become a king in Yangzhou in the past few years and no one can control it.
However, the news from Wu Yaoqing was obviously more targeted.
"In view of the fact that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the town of Huaiyang was moved to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Chen Jixian actually
Some of his troops had begun to move to Suzhou in advance. On the first day of September, Chen Jixian's personal troops and all of Ji De's troops had already left Jiangdu and headed from Zhenjiang to Suzhou via the canal. The number of troops was about 3,000. In fact, before that, Probably in July, scattered Huaiyang troops were already dispatched to Suzhou and Hangzhou to select garrison locations. Now it is just a large-scale relocation of towns..."
Wu Yaoqing himself is still in Yangzhou, but the person sent to introduce the situation, Feng Ziying, will also be very familiar with Su Zheng, Wu Yaoqing's right-hand man in intelligence.
Feng Ziying and her party did not expect Chen Jixian to be so anxious, but then they thought about it. Tens of thousands of troops were to be moved to Suzhou and Hangzhou for garrison. Although the garrison locations had been selected long ago, it was obviously not possible to mobilize such a large-scale army overnight.
It is safer to arrange a few trips in advance to familiarize yourself with them.
In the past, Suzhou and Hangzhou only had guards and no military towns. Now it is equivalent to setting up a new military town. It also needs to contact and coordinate with the local governments of Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are still many things that need to be dealt with.
Feng Ziying asked in detail:
Su Zheng immediately replied:
All the generals here silently calculated that the Huaiyang army stationed in Jiangdu is about 40,000, but now calculated, more than 9,000 have left. If there are still more people leaving during this period, then in fact the Huaiyang army
Yang Jun's troops stationed in Jiangdu already numbered less than 30,000.
The only regret is that the main force of Chen Jixian's pro-army forces is still stationed in Jiangdu. To capture Yangzhou, we will have to fight a tough battle with this army.
But this tough battle is only relatively speaking. Cao Wenzhao and Mao Wenlong are both gearing up and eager for this battle to come as soon as possible.
After gathering all the information from all aspects, we actually have a rough understanding of the situation in Yangzhou.
At least so far, Chen Jixian has not noticed that this army has entered the territory of South Zhili. Although Haizhou is located in the northeastern corner of South Zhili, it is already within the territory of South Zhili. If everything goes well, within two days
You can go straight to the Yangtze River Estuary, and then easily choose any place to land in Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, or Yingtianfu.
The problems before us now are: first, there are still about 30,000 Huaiyang troops stationed in Yangzhou, among which it is estimated that there are nearly 10,000 Chen Jixian's troops.
Second, when traveling from the East China Sea Central Institute to Yangzhou, Yangzhou may discover anomalies or sense danger and step up vigilance. This possibility is possible. For example, Sun Chengzong leads the Jizhen Army southward along the canal. Rather than going by sea,
It is easier for rumors to leak out on this road and that side.
Third, Wang Ziteng's troops in Jiujiang may feel that the situation is not right and head east in advance. However, if they take the land route, it will definitely be too late. By taking the water route, Denglai Navy can calmly respond to the challenge. Of course, Wang Ziteng's troops may take the water route first, and then
Choose land to land near Nanjing.
The meeting was held in a lobby in the East China Sea Center. It was a bit crude and shabby, but quite spacious. It was originally just a temporary parking place for watermen coming and going. It was very
It is rare for a large army to stop, so this time it is unprecedented.
The problem now is that we still have to wait two days. If we wait two more days, thousands of Huaiyang troops may leave Yangzhou, especially Chen Jixian's personal troops. This will reduce the pressure on our own army to land in Yangzhou, but
Similarly, two days is neither long nor short. Once the news leaks out and the Yangzhou authorities are aware of it and are prepared, the threat will increase dramatically.
The entire hall was silent, waiting for Feng Ziying's decision.
After just some simple thinking, Feng Ziying made a decision.
Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Army is not what he is worried about. As the generals said and the news coming back from Yangzhou all prove that the combat effectiveness of the Huaiyang Army has been greatly corrupted, there is nothing to worry about. But if Wang Ziteng's Denglai Army takes the lead,
If we go east into Nanjing and avoid the battle with the navy on the water, then this battle will be difficult to fight, and the price paid will increase several times.
