"Your Majesty, I will leave first. Whenever I have any information, I will send someone to deliver it to your Majesty all night long!"

At the gate of Liangzhou City, Tie Long was bowing to Chen Yue.

Chenyue said with a solemn expression: "General, please remember and don't act rashly. I will definitely help you in the matter of restoring your clan in the future!"

Chenyue's only worry was that Tielong lost his temper and launched an attack on Yan's army without permission.

It is not easy to insert such a heavy hidden stake, and Chen Yue does not want to waste it in vain.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know it well!" Tie Long bowed and saluted.

"Go ahead and be safe along the way!"

"My lord, take your leave!"

Tielong, who stayed briefly in Liangzhou City for a few days, finally left. Before leaving, Chenyue gave him one thousand taels of gold and two thousand taels of silver.

Although the number was small, it was enough to feed his soldiers for a while.

In order to avoid the Yan army, most of Tielong's soldiers hid in some barren places. It would be difficult to survive without supplementary supplies.

At the same time, a batch of weapons will be transported to the border. When the time comes, Tielong can send people to transport them away quietly.

The weapons financed by Tie Long were all made by the Mohists by imitating the weapons of the Yan army.

In this way, even if someone is discovered by Yan Jun, their relationship with Liang Di will not be exposed.

On the top of Liangzhou City, Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng, and Zhuge Mufu stood and watched Tie Long and several of his followers slowly leave.

"Oh, to be honest, when I first heard the news about the civil strife in the Yan army, my heart was really moved." Chen Yue smiled bitterly.

At that time, when he heard that the Yan army was going to form the Eight Banners Army, Chen Yue already expected that there would be problems within Yan Rong.

"Haha, the hearts of the tribes are unstable. The army reorganization has just begun and has not yet achieved results. On the surface, it is indeed a good opportunity to use troops." Zhuge, who was wearing a gray monk's robe, said with a confused chuckle.

These smart people naturally see the situation clearly.

"That's right." Chenyue nodded: "This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time."

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, it's better to give up on this." Chu Yucheng laughed loudly:

"If the Yanrong clan with hundreds of thousands of soldiers were defeated so easily, Muyun Canglan would not be able to unify the grassland in twenty years.

I bet that if we send troops rashly this time, we will definitely end in failure!"

Fighting a war does not rely solely on morale and fear of death. Food and supplies, logistics and transportation, and the right time and place can all affect the outcome of the war.

Chenyue smiled. He naturally understood this truth. Those so-called civil strife were only superficial and were not enough to cause Yanrong to decline.

The sky was clear and windless, Chen Yue turned his head slightly and looked towards the distant north:

"In your opinion, how can we make Yan's army crippled?"

The two looked at each other, and Zhuge said calmly:

"If Mu Yun Canglan successfully completes the army reorganization this time and suppresses the dissatisfaction of various tribes, it will plant the seeds of resentment in their hearts.

One day, the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy losses at the hands of our Liang Army. The private soldiers handed over by various tribes were killed or injured, and they gained nothing.

At that time, there will really be many people who rebel."

To put it bluntly, Zhuge was confused and thought that Yan's army reorganization would end smoothly this time, but in the long run there were problems.

The corners of Chenyue's lips curled up: "Heroes see the same thing~"

"Hahaha!"

…

Time flies and it's June, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

In the meeting hall of Prince Liang's Mansion, Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng and several others gathered in front of the huge map sand table.

The terrain on this sand table is not the border of Liangyan, but the land south of the Yangtze River where fierce fighting is breaking out.

With nothing to do, Chen Yue began to study the counterinsurgency war with a group of generals.

The information in Chenyue's hands included not only the military intelligence briefing sent by the Ministry of War, but also the first-hand battle report sent by Wentiansi's spies in Jiangnan.

Various small flags were planted on the sand table, marking the recent movements of the government troops and rebels.

In the past three months, the battlefield in Jiangnan has undergone considerable changes:

First, Chen Tiansheng personally took charge of Yanzhou City. Qin Xiaotian and Huang Ji each led an army to attack Shouyan Road. They were invincible all the way and soon formed a pincer attack on Shouchun.

Zhao Zhongtian, who was guarding Shouchun City, hesitated again and again, and finally chose to abandon Shouchun, and the entire army retreated to Wuzhong Road, which is adjacent to Shouyan Road.

With the troops and horses under his command, he really could not defeat the hundreds of thousands of rebels. However, Wuzhong Road was a territory belonging to the King of Wu, and there were many troops stationed there, so they could temporarily compete with the rebels.

The battle on the front line of Jiuchang Road is also tilting towards the Yellow Shirt Army.

Relying on the superiority of its troops, Ling Palace just opened a gap in the front line that was hundreds of miles wide, broke into Nansi Road, and occupied more than ten cities in a very short period of time.

The rebels gained advantages on two battlefields at the same time, causing the imperial court to be a little worried for a while.

Chenyue stared at the map for a long time, then pursed his lips and muttered:

"This battle is being fought incorrectly! Three months ago, the two sides could maintain a stable momentum and fight back and forth. How come in the blink of an eye, the Yellow Shirt Army has won consecutive battles?"

Chu Yucheng was lying on the sand table, watching, and echoed:

"If we look at the military strength alone, the Yellow Shirt Army deployed more than 200,000 people on two fronts, almost twice as many as the official army. It is not surprising that they achieved such results.

But the general leading the army is Wu Xinrou. This person's military tactics are terrible and he should not be retreating one after another.

From the time Shouchun City was lost to now, the government and army have not been able to organize a decent counterattack."

"Not only Wu Xinrou, Zhao Zhongtian also fought the battle incorrectly."

Chenyue straightened up and said with memories in his eyes:

"Although Zhao Zhongtian comes from a literary family, after all, he served as a general of Yangzhou and a minister of the Ministry of War.

Ten years ago, he led his army to the border and commanded the war together with Nangong Yu. When our Liangzhou army went south to suppress the rebellion, he also led the army together.

Although his military merits are not many, he is still a high-ranking person in the imperial court and has sufficient experience in battlefield conquests.

However, from last year to now, Zhao Zhongtian has lost cities and territory one after another. Not only has he failed to regain Tai'an Road, but now he has also lost Shouyan Road.

Weird, so weird!”

To say that Chen Yue knew Zhao Zhongtian, he was not a master in the art of war, but he was definitely not someone like Yu Wen Chenghua who knew nothing about leading an army in battle.

Xue Tian interjected from the side: "He had an army of 100,000 before. It stands to reason that if a 100,000 army spreads out a defense line at the border and holds the city, Shouyan Road can definitely be defended."

"But he didn't defend, and instead the Yellow Shirt Army cut off the food route..."

Everyone was discussing each other, and this counter-insurgency battle gradually became a little difficult to understand.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

Chenyue and the others are now thinking about this war as insiders. The Liang army was also at war in the past, so they didn't pay much attention to Jiangnan.
