"Admiral, the person surnamed Li has no kindness. He sent our tribe to Yuezhou in an instant. He must have no other plans. That person is full of bad water, so he must have no kindness!"

However, as soon as he left Li Ziyuan's ship and came to his own ship, Sun Anming whispered to the admiral, that in his opinion, there must be some conspiracy to be sent to Yuezhou by the navy.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether we are at ease or not. As long as we stick to the plan we came, there will never be any mistakes."

Because of his background in the Cao Gang, Pan Ziqin has always been known for his sophistication and calmness among the many generals in the Zhongyi Army. Therefore, he did not want to compete with others to conquer the city. Now that he has gone to the place in Yuezhou, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least it is easier to attack than in Wuchang.

It was precisely because of this that he started chatting with Sun Anming and Sun Haoran.

"What are we here for? We are here to help with the war, that is, we are just guests, just helping the young Sima Zhuangzhuang to strengthen our momentum. That's all, if we let us risk our lives to help the young Sima seize the city, it would never work. Not to mention that Li Ziyuan, the young Sima is here, even if we let our brothers take the risk of seizing the city, it would not work. The blood of the Zhongyi Army can flow, but it cannot be taken advantage of by others! Since Li Linchuan wants to attack the city by himself, let them attack. No matter how many casualties they have, what does it have to do with you and me?"

Pan Ziqin, the admiral of the Yangtze River Navy, noticed that Sun Haoran had not spoken and asked when he said this.

"Zhengming, you have other ideas."

As the wing leader of the right wing of the Yangtze River Navy, Sun Haoran asked directly when he heard the admiral asked him.

"Admiral, I think Li Linchuan is not necessarily a big shot. After all, the grain depot in Wuchang City has been burned now, and there is no food in the city, so it will naturally take a few days, and the morale of the army will be turbulent. In this way, it is easy for Wuchang to conquer us. He probably has his plans to take us to the branch of Yuezhou. He may have wanted to use our hands to help him seize Yuezhou. In this way, the land of Wuchang can be fully in his pocket. This kid is really an expert in military use."

Sun Haoran's words made Pan Ziqin raise his eyebrows, and his mind immediately showed the terrain along the river. Yuezhou was located at the mouth of Dongting Lake. If she wanted to enter the Yangtze River from Dongting Lake, she had to pass through Yuezhou. If Yuezhou occupied it, it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between Wuchang and Changsha. At that time, she could naturally slowly plan the prefectures and counties around Wuchang. In this regard, Yuezhou is even more important than Wuchang. It can even be said that it is related to whether she can gain a foothold in Wuchang in the future and whether she can sit on Diaoyutai here with peace of mind.

"This Li Linchuan is really scheming. He wants to use us to help him take Yuezhou. In this way, he can easily plan for Huguang!"

Thinking that he had easily become "bet" by Li Ziyuan, Pan Ziqin was not annoyed. He looked at Li Ziyuan's ship and sneered.

"But I want to see, without us, how can he take Wuchang!"

In Pan Ziqin's view, even if the grain depot in Wuchang City has been burned, it is probably not that easy to capture this city. After all, siege always requires losing troops and generals. Li Ziyuan is determined to have his plans, but in the end, he always wants Wuchang City to pay the price.

"Military Sect, without the help of the Zhongyi Army's navy, how can we attack Wuchang then?"

Almost as soon as Pan Ziqin and others left, Sun Xingping immediately expressed his dissatisfaction. After all, everyone knew that the reason why he delayed the attack on Wuchang was to wait for the navy of the Zhongyi Army. If he wanted to conquer this place, he had to get help from the navy.

"Military Gate, although we have set up cannons on the mountains around Wuchang, we can bombard the city with a command, but if we do not use our cannons to attack the city, we must rely on the heavy artillery of the Zhongyi Navy!"

The "heavy artillery" mentioned by Sun Xingping refers to the short-barrel heavy artillery used by the Zhongyi Navy. Although its range is relatively close, the power of the shell weighing 50 kilograms is far less than five kilograms. The six kilograms can be compared. When attacking Hanyang, the navy only used the heavy artillery to aim at the city wall and knocked more than one hundred cannons, and then easily collapsed the Hanyang city wall. Originally, they were thinking about relying on the navy to blast the Wuchang city wall and then attacking Wuchang. Now, the navy was sent to Yuezhou by Li Ziyuan's tribe.

In this way, without the heavy artillery of the navy, wouldn’t it mean that the brothers would use their flesh and blood to capture Wuchang? In this case, it would be a bit more costly.

Faced with the confusion of his subordinates, Li Ziyuan just smiled and said without saying a word. However, Ang Lee, who was standing beside him, jumped up and said:

"Without the Zhongyi Navy, can we still not attack the city? If you dare not attack, I will lead the troops to attack Wuchang. I will not believe it. If we could have taken Nanchang back then, we would not be able to take Wuchang! Could it be that Wuchang is still a solid wall!"

When Sun Xingping was still fighting, Li Ziyuan waved his hand to stop him, then looked around the generals with his sharp eyes and said in a deep voice.

"You must first understand that although Wuchang is important, Yuezhou is even more important. Yuezhou is the gateway to Huguang. As long as Yuezhou is in the hands of our military, we can slowly capture Huguang counties. At that time, Huguang will all belong to my Ming Dynasty!"

Of course, there is another sentence in his subtext - Jiujiang!

Jiujiang is also under his control. As long as Yuezhou and Jiujiang are under his control, Hong Chengchou or Zhang Huangyan will be "turtles in the jar". One of them will be blocked south of Dongting Lake and the other will be blocked south of Poyang Lake. In this way, it will naturally not become a major climate.

When he said this, he looked at Yao Qisheng beside him. Unlike others, Yao Qisheng was once a member of the flag flag of the Qing Dynasty's Han army. When Dasu was defeated last year, he was a native of Zhejiang and fled to Jiangnan with his words of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mandarin. When he was just crossing Jiangnan, he was forced to join the army by Li Ziyuan, who was eager to expand his strength. Yao Qisheng, who was pulled into the army, took the initiative to follow Li Ziyuan and give advice to him, so that he became his aide. "Control Yuezhou in the west, control Jiujiang in the east, and build a foothold in Wuchang" was the plan made by Yao Qisheng.

Perhaps others didn't know Li Ziyuan's idea, but Yao Qisheng had long guessed his unwilling ambitions, so Li Ziyuan adopted his suggestion.

The reason why he was even referred to as a military advisor was that Yao Qisheng could see the true thoughts in his heart and the irrepressible ambitions in his heart.

Of course, Li Ziyuan could also see Yao Qisheng's deep ambitions. The two of them were just trying to win each other's needs.

"What the military gate said is very true. If we want to establish a foothold in Wuchang, we must take Yuezhou. If we don't leave Yuezhou, even if Wuchang is in our army, our army will find it difficult to gain a foothold in this place, so this Yuezhou must be seized. Hong Thief is also well aware of the importance of Yuezhou, so he appointed his confidant Zhang Yong to lead more than 10,000 elite Qing troops to guard. Our army wants to get off this city, and we must get a navy to help! If there is no navy to help, it is difficult to get off this city!"

Seeing that the military gate's eyes were on him, Yao Qisheng told everyone about the importance of Yuezhou. After hearing what he said, they immediately understood the meaning of the military gate. They used the help of the navy to take down Yuezhou first. Only with Yuezhou could they slowly plan for Huguang.

"Xizhi, what he said is very true. Good steel should be used on the blade. Everyone understands this principle. How about it? Do you have any other questions now?"

After Yao Qisheng explained, Li Ziyuan looked at the generals and asked. After everyone expressed that he had no other opinions, he said in a stern voice.

"Now my order: the attack on Wuchang begins today, and the navy will be ordered to shell the Hanyang Gate, Pinghu Gate, Wenchang Gate, and the South Army along the northwest along the river to attack Wangshan Gate, Baoan Gate, Zhonghe Gate, and the North Army to capture Wusheng Gate, requiring the entire city to be occupied within ten days. After success, use Pinghu Gate and Yueyang Gate in the city as the boundary, search and clear the remaining and hidden enemies in the city, so as to ensure that there is no one missing fish. At present, the Qing army guarding the city was surrounded by our army due to the disagreement of the land and land, so that the morale was dissipated and there was no need for too many troops to assist in the battle... As for the various government agencies in the city, we must try to avoid damage as much as possible for our army to use in the future. The above orders must be implemented immediately and there must be no delay!"

Because they were born in the Zhongyi Army, Li Ziyuan's army still had a strong Zhongyi Army style. Many habits may have left Zhongyi Army, but the habits they developed in Zhongyi Army have not changed. From convening military meetings to issuing orders, they were completely like Zhongyi Army. To be precise, they were Zhu Mingzhong's characteristics. These characteristics were mostly learned by Zhu Mingzhong from later military films. These habits from later films and TV dramas also affected Li Ziyuan and his subordinates. After hearing the order, the generals stood up and stood up to obey the Tao.

"yes!"

There is no unnecessary nonsense, but just a simple word. Unlike the old military that required words such as "obeying carefully" when obeying, military orders are like mountains, and there is no need to say much.

Then Li Ziyuan waved his hand, and the generals sat down again and asked one after another.

"Military Gate, after taking Wuchang, where will we fight next?"

Everyone had no doubts about taking Wuchang. They believed that they could easily win Wuchang. After all, Wuchang has become an isolated city now. Moreover, there is no food or grass in Wuchang City, so it would be easier to build such a city.

Faced with everyone's problems, Li Ziyuan said.

"No, the next step is to take down the prefectures and counties around Wuchang to consolidate the periphery of Wuchang. From then on, Wuchang is our foundation. As long as we can gain a foothold here, the army will use this as the rear to carry out the Northern Expedition in the future. At that time, we can attack the capital in Xiangyang! By then, you will be the meritorious service of the Ming Dynasty's revival, and you will be awarded the title of marquis and ministers in just a day!"

The phrase of being a marquis and being a prime minister only made all the generals in the army feel excited. They had no big horizons at first. For them, being able to survive to this point is far beyond their imagination. When Li Ziyuan said that he could be a marquis and being a prime minister in the future, he was so happy that he smiled. Wang Jiaoquan's bearded man was even more happy and said first:

"Your Highness, is there any share in fighting Xiangyang?"

Don't be the king's sect is a rough man, but as soon as he spoke, he was Xiangyang. His purpose was very clear, it was nothing more than to be the pioneer of the Northern Expedition in the future, and the others followed suit.

"Military Gate, where are I?"

Seeing that the generals under his command fought for Xiangyang, Li Ziyuan, who understood their thoughts, did not reveal that anyone who has no dream of becoming a prosperous person? Only with such a dream can there be motivation. So he just said:

"Don't fight first. There will be a battle in the future. After Wuchang is stable, we will not only conquer Xiangyang, but also Yunyang and Jingyi. When will we decide after sending troops? After all, there are more important things at the moment... In my opinion, the most important thing is to take Wuchang first. Brothers are ready to deal with the Qing captives in Wuchang first. If you don't take Wuchang down, everything will be empty talk!"

As soon as Li Ziyuan's words fell, Yao Qisheng nodded repeatedly and said:

"Military Ying saw that Wuchang was the foundation of our Western Expedition. Only by seizing Wuchang can we sweep the surrounding area with Wuchang as the center. After Wuchang was captured by our army, Huguang could naturally be determined."

Wang Jiaoquan smiled and said with a smile:

"Hmph, it's not difficult to win Wuchang. As long as the city wall is blown up, the more than 20,000 sick people in Liu Fangming Ningxia Town will be enough to deal with him by almost 30,000 of us. This dog traitor, this time, will send him to see the King of Hell!"

They are not unfamiliar with Liu Fangming. When Liu Fangming marched all the way to Huangzhou, he almost met them in Jiujiang.

In the end, if it weren't for the news of Dasu's defeat in Jiangbei, Liu Fangming, who had marched to Huangzhou, would have really used troops to Jiujiang. At that time, Li Ziyuan's troops were stationed in Jiujiang. Now they obviously forgot about the panic when Liu Fangming commanded the army to attack. They all looked contemptuous of the Qing army. The reason for underestimating the enemy was simply that they were unscrupulous in Jiangxi, which made them feel that their current momentum was naturally despised by the sick soldiers in Ningxia Town.

So when he spoke, he naturally looked arrogant and did not even take Liu Fangming and the officers and soldiers of Ningxia Town under his command.

Looking at their appearance, Yao Qisheng just smiled slightly in his heart. He knew that morale was exactly what was created, the Zhongyi Army was like, and the Eight Banners back then were like this.

This arrogant morale is established by victory after victory. And this morale will continue to grow with their victory.

Looking at them looking eager to try, Yao Qisheng couldn't help but think of the Zhongyi Army in Jiangbei. I'm afraid they were the same before the war? They might even be more arrogant and arrogant than these people, because for them, they had long been used to victory. Thinking of this, another thought came to Yao Qisheng's mind.
