At the same time as the rebellion broke out in Chengdu, far above the Yellow River, a naval battle also kicked off at this time!
Among the northern princes, Liu Bei, Dou Jiande and Qin Zheng all formed naval forces. But this time, only Liu Bei's force participated in the war.
Dou Jiande belongs to his own people. There is no need to cause trouble for his people here. He can just find a reason to fool him! And for people like Su Qin, the reasons he finds are absolutely impossible for others to say. They are definitely
Reasonable and well-founded!
As for Qin Zheng, he had to guard against Li Shimin and protect his own territory, which was always his primary goal!
It is true that Li Shimin has not sent any troops to Youzhou for the time being, but it does not mean that Li Shimin will never take action against Youzhou. Li Shimin's shrewdness is not inferior to that of Qin Zheng. The fact that he does not take action at this time just shows how shrewd this person is!
Everyone knows that even though Li Shimin took advantage of the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty to fight against the autumn wind, Li Shimin really only wants to fight against the autumn wind, and he is the kind of person who just grabs a sum and comes back! Li Shimin is not crazy now. He wants to grab a lot of money.
Clear territory!
There wasn't even a city on the grassland. Even if Li Shimin defeated it, how could he defend it? It was just a field battle on the grassland. Fighting with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who were all powerful cavalry, Li Shimin was no longer a sheep and his head was burned out.
Got it!
Li Tangcai is a little more powerful now, and what was Li Tang like during his heyday in history! If you want to fight with the grassland and occupy the territory of the grassland, you must have enough strength and foundation in your hands! You don’t have enough strength and knowledge in your hands.
Bottom line, just thinking about occupying the territory of the grassland is because I am afraid that I will not die quickly enough!
If they are really dragged into the quagmire of war, with Li Tang's national power, just wait and see the lively Qin Zheng strike hard!
Therefore, knowledgeable people know very well that Li Tang's plan to deal with the Manchus was just to fight against the Qing Dynasty, to grab a handful and then come back. Li Tang's only way out was with Qin Zheng.
However, Li Shimin will never deal with Qin Zheng at this time. How can Li Shimin be that kind of short-sighted person? If he deals with Qin Zheng at this time, once Li Xiang is given the opportunity to unify the Han Dynasty, his Li Tang will still be able to reach great heights.
How many days?
Although Liu Bang once held back Qin Zheng, it was because Qin Zheng at that time had almost put the knife on Liu Bang's neck! Qin Zheng was thinking about how to kill Liu Bang, and Liu Bang himself
He was almost dead at that time, so why should he help his opponent to deal with another opponent?
If Liu Bang helped Qin Zheng deal with Li Xiang at that time, it would only be Qin Zheng who benefited. After that, Qin Zheng would kill Liu Bang or how to kill Liu Bang! With Liu Bang's character, how could it be possible under such circumstances?
Meet Qin Zheng?
Today's Li Tang is completely different from Liu Bang's perspective back then! For today's Li Tang, the fall of the most powerful vassal force in the Han Dynasty is also the greatest benefit to Li Tang!
Only when the Han Dynasty was in a state of division did Li Tang have the opportunity to invade the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty was unified by the Jin army, given Li Tang's current national strength and Li Shimin's head was not broken, how could he possibly think that Li Tang could have unified the country by that time?
The Jin army defeated the Han Dynasty!
Self-confidence is self-confidence, and arrogance is arrogance. If the head is broken, it is another situation! Conceit can't be called self-confidence, let alone if the head is broken, it can't be called self-confidence!
If Li Shimin thinks that after the Jin army unified the Han Dynasty, he and Li Tang still have a chance, that is not called confidence, let alone arrogance, it is just a bad head!
However, Li Shimin did not take the opportunity to launch an attack when such a large part of Youzhou's troops were absent, but instead made Qin Zheng and the advisers in Youzhou even more vigilant!
Unless Li Shimin has no idea about the Han Dynasty, there is only one reason why Li Shimin has not taken action against Youzhou at this time, that is, Li Shimin thinks that the time has not come yet!
After analysis by the advisers in Youzhou, Qin Zheng had roughly guessed that the opportunity Li Shimin was waiting for was when the Jin army was defeated by the alliance of princes.
After the Jin army was defeated by the alliance of princes, at this time, Li Shimin started to take action against Youzhou, so there was no need to worry about the emergence of a princely force that could unify the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, even if Han Xin's army, which was far away in Guanzhong at that time, wanted to return to Youzhou, it would not be possible to fly back. The soldiers would have to walk step by step, and it wouldn't take more than a month.
possible!
And within this period of time, it is the best time for Li Shimin to attack Qin Zheng!
In addition, although all the princes of the Han Dynasty have united, Li Shimin will never think that the Jin army will be easily defeated! Li Shimin has also been paying attention to the battle situation of the Han Dynasty, especially the battle at Hulao Pass in the north.
The princes suffered a huge loss directly at the hands of Li Xiang. Yuan Hong, Jin Dasheng, Yin Zhou and other world-famous strong generals all died on the battlefield.
This made Li Shimin even more determined. Even if the Han princes combined to defeat the Jin army, their own strength would definitely suffer heavy losses. It is not certain how many of Han Xin's soldiers and horses can come back. Those famous Qin army
It’s even less certain if a few generals can come back!
Therefore, now Li Shimin has been waiting for a time that he thinks is suitable! And when that suitable time comes, it will definitely be the time for Li Shimin to mobilize all his land and water armies and fight with all his strength.
Therefore, Qin Zheng's navy is also busy now. Youzhou's coastline is not long, but it is not short either. They also have to prevent Li Tang's navy from a surprise attack!
It is precisely because of this that in the entire Northern Alliance, there was also a decisive battle between Liu Bei's lone navy and the Jin army's navy!
The Jin Army's Yellow River Navy and Liu Bei's Navy are the two most powerful naval forces in the north. These two naval forces have been in the army for the longest time and have developed the longest, and may not be as good as those in the south.
Navy, but it can surpass the remaining navy in the north in all aspects!
Not long ago, the two strongest naval forces in the north finally had a serious battle to determine the winner!
Han Shizhong's 30,000 naval forces faced off against Liu Rengui's 25,000 naval forces on the Yellow River. Although Han Shizhong himself lost 3,000 men, Liu Rengui lost 5,000 men.
The most critical thing is that after this battle, Liu Rengui Navy's large warships have basically been lost. In all likelihood, they have either sunk into the Yellow River or have been damaged to varying degrees. It will take a certain period of time.
Only after repairs can it be put into use again.
Before these warships were fully replenished, Liu Rengui's navy was already in decline. But the warships could not be replenished overnight. Since then, the water control rights of the Yellow River have basically fallen into the hands of Han Shizhong!
