To seize the world, such a thing is naturally impossible to accomplish overnight.
Lin Haoming also began to get idle, or slow down.
In addition to working every day, he only accompanied his wives and concubines. In order to get close to Lin Haoming, Wei Yan moved to Lin Haoming, and did not even care about the rumors.
Lin Ning, Wei Yan's son, and Lin Haoming's adopted son, naturally, should be raised by his side. Lin Haoming doesn't ask how powerful this child is, but at least he must have certain abilities.
Time passed like this, and three years passed in an instant.
Three years are not long or short. I originally thought that a war would happen last year, but some unexpected things prevented the war from breaking out.
The unexpected thing was not in Yue Kingdom, but in Daxia. The battle for the throne reached a critical moment. The prince died suddenly due to an accident, and the battle for the throne between the third prince, the fifth prince and the sixth prince was in full swing. But who would have thought that a ninth prince appeared in the middle and replaced the fifth prince. The fifth prince was to some extent considered Wei Tong's support in Xia Kingdom. It was suddenly replaced, resulting in the unblocked material passage for more than three months. Fortunately, the ninth prince, who was replaced soon, was willing to restore what the fifth prince had promised before, which made the difficulties here overcome. However, because of this, it was also considered a missed opportunity.
Originally, the Jiangdong counties could send troops last year. Last year, Zhang Xiao wanted to provide disaster relief and deal with the situation after the defeat. It was the most unstable. Even if you asked Wei to borrow food, it was still very tight. Now, after more than one year, the food and grass problem has been basically solved, and the refugees have been resettled. Zhang Xiao even recruited refugees to join the army, and now he has two refugees.
Now that the war is about to start, he will not have an advantage on his side, but the same is true on Zhang Xiao's side. Although the most troublesome problem has been solved, the King of Yue is now terminally ill. Once he dies, he will succeed him, and the country of Yue will be completely divided by the time of the time. Therefore, in order to avoid such a situation, Zhang Xiao had to take action against him first after stabilizing the situation.
The current situation is naturally more unfavorable to the attacking party. After all, if you cut the river and control it, you must cross the river to fight, so water war is likely to become the focus, unless you plan to fight in winter, but many of Wei Tong's army are people from the north, and winter war is what he is best at, which is equivalent to using his own weakness to fight the strong, so water war has become the most likely to happen.
The Pingjiang River in Huangling County is wide and connected to Anyang Lake. The naval army in Anyang Lake is also the strongest. Before the army entered Huangling County, the ships here had been retreated to the other side of the lake by Zhang Xiao the next year before. If Zhang Xiao wants to advance, the waterway is the only breakthrough.
In summer, as long as the west wind blows, the boats will walk along the wind and it will not take long to reach the opposite side of the lake. Moreover, because the lake is wide, unlike the river surface, you can see everything you do on the other side of the shore. When doing things in Anyang Lake, you are not prepared at all, so you can only send boats to cruise on the lake.
In order to prevent this from happening, after solving the worries, Wei Tong also began to make arrangements here.
On the one hand, the construction and modification of warships are both on the other hand, and on the other hand, all the upper classes are also considering whether to give up water wars and put people in. After all, most of the existing army are northerners and are not good at water wars.
In fact, according to Lin Haoming's idea, it would be best to take the initiative if possible. Unfortunately, he is not Wei Tong or Wei Shun after all. Since he chose this path at the moment, he can only retain it. Moreover, in three years, his military power has gradually decreased, and he is placed more on the Bailong Guard's side. According to Wei Tong's intention, he wanted to make himself the second Zhao Wufeng.
It is approaching summer, and soon information comes. Zhang Xiao appointed Jiang Ziqi as marshal and landed from Anyang Lake in the night in the night, and then attacked Huyang County at night.
After receiving the information, Wei Tong immediately ordered several nearby troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. As a result, it was unexpected that Jiang Ziqi did not occupy Huyang County as a landing base, but instead burned the enemy. Then, before the army encircled and suppressed the enemy, he boarded the ship again, occupied Huguang County downstream, and then attacked the army from behind.
The general Li Xun, who was killed and retreated thirty miles away, had to retreat to Huangshan County with his defeated army, waiting for Gao Chunyou's troops to come.
In this way, Jiang Ziqi was given time, completely occupying a small area in Jiangdong to become the rear, and building a bridgehead.
This result made Wei Tong furious and immediately dispatched Wang Jiangman to go south as the head coach. At the same time, he ordered Zhu Feiling's defeated thieves to strengthen his defenses along the east side of Jiangdong to prevent the other party from finding a second point to cross the river.
Wang Jiangman led an army of 50,000 to aid south. He had already arranged an army of 150,000 here. Li Xun lost some of his losses before, but now there are still nearly 200,000 troops. Jiang Ziqi mobilized more than 100,000 troops from the other side in a short time. When Wang Jiangman's troops arrived, he immediately launched an attack on him again.
In this battle, there was no chance of taking advantage of the situation, it was completely a hand-to-hand fight. Wang Jiangman was also a general who had been in the battlefield for a long time. Jiang Ziqi was not famous, but the previous surprise attack had already shown his ability. Therefore, the two sides fought for a long time. In the end, Wang Jiangman was even more injured, but Jiang Ziqi threw away the bridgehead that he had finally won and had to take a boat to retreat.
In general, Wang Jiangman suffered even greater losses after nearly three months of fighting in this battle, but strategically, he won half a move. However, Jiang Ziqi's retreat was not entirely defeated, but before retreating, the King of Yue finally couldn't hold on and died.
Zhang Xiao is now going to succeed to the throne. Since he can't really expand the results of the war and prevent accidents, he simply gave up.
When Zhang Xiao ascended the throne, he naturally would not fall behind. He soon pushed the third prince's son to the throne. For a time, the Yue Kingdom suddenly had two kings, and the people directly called the Eastern King and the Western King.
The East King and the West King have different reputations. Although the East King is a puppet of Wei Tong, the West King also has the title of killing the lord and father. However, because of this incident, both sides gave up and the year has been calm again.
After the new king ascended the throne, he naturally had to enfeoff his ministers. Although Wei Tong was granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom, other princes who were originally crown princes or had only inheritance rights were also formally enfeoffed. Among them, Tao Feng, the Marquis of Wu'an, became Duke of Wu'an, and Zhang Xin, who originally wanted to inherit the Marquis of Pingjiang, also became Duke of Pingjiang. In addition, those who made contributions before also had different enfeoffments, and Lin Haoming was also here. He originally planned to enfeoff Lin Haoming as Kangding Bo, but Lin Haoming felt that the title of Zhongyong Bo was good, so the title of Zhongyong Bo fell on him.
