Three hundred and ninetieth chapters into the Great Lakes
Chapter 390 Entering the Great Lake
After Liu Nanshang and Li Xiaomo left with satisfaction, Haotian specially kept Zhang Cangxiong. This was the first time that Weng and his son-in-law had a face-to-face conversation since Zhang Yuewan married into the Loop.
Zhang Cangxiong looked at the young man in his twenties sitting in front of him with great interest, and his heart was filled with emotion. This is the son of Qin Shang and Hao Feifei, the husband of his most precious daughter, and his son-in-law.
.
A few years ago, he was an unknown garrison Qianqi in Qingyun County. However, in just four years, he had become the fourth vassal town in the empire and the powerful King of Jingbei in the northwest. In four years,
Under his command, he has gathered talents such as Luo Xiangchu Xiangcheng and Wu Youxue Dugu Yuming. And his army has grown from more than a thousand cavalry at the beginning to more than half a million now, becoming the empire's well-deserved leader.
The first force.
Four years ago, the reason why I paid attention to him was just because his father was Hao Feifei and his mother was Qin Shang. But now, he is not only his son-in-law, but also the most powerful vassal town in the entire China. His iron hooves have traveled all over the country.
His reputation resounded throughout the entire land of China. Whether it was the sturdy Northeastern Allied Forces, the cunning Eastern Japanese pirates, the fanatical Bliss soldiers, or the Sashan warriors of the West, they all had headaches when they encountered his army.
Broken blood flow. Whether it is Cassimbas, Sibu Gaza or Park Zhicheng, Zhu Zhaowatanabe, everyone who hears his name will have a headache.
Now, he controls more than a quarter of the empire's territory and has the most powerful army in the entire Eastern Continent. Now he has the power to influence the situation in the entire Eastern Continent. Of course, if he is more ambitious, then
The entire Eastern Continent will most likely tremble under his riding crop.
However, it is such a party that has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, dares to challenge any force, has never bowed to anyone, and has at least millions on its hands, and may even be stained with the blood of tens of millions of people in the future.
The Overlord is actually such an immature young man who is somewhat indecisive and has extremely emotional fluctuations.
Haotian twisted his body slightly. After sitting upright for so long, he was really uncomfortable. Sitting with his legs crossed, Haotian motioned to Xin Jiao to pour a glass of wine for Zhang Cangxiong. He was not used to pouring wine for others.
The exception is providence.
"Father-in-law, over the years, Huaishui has really helped us a lot for the Hetao. I heard from Yue Wan that Huaishui is not very stable internally. I don't know what the specific situation is?" Haotian felt that it was better to get straight to the point.
Zhang Cangxiong took the wine glass, tasted it briefly, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about this. As long as I am still here, the five states of Huai River will not be able to overthrow the world. Although my body is not as good as before, I can still hold it together for ten years."
Eight years, it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Haotian organized some words. However, the current situation in the empire has become so rotten that there is nothing to add to it, and his own backyard has not been completely cleaned. Naturally, he doesn't know how to talk about many things. Thinking of this, Haotian smiled bitterly and said: "
Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows many things well. I, Hetao, am not an ungrateful person. We will never forget whoever helped us when we were in trouble. Yue Wan has already told me the specific situation of Huai River.
, I won’t talk about other sons-in-law, but my son-in-law will repay Yue Wan’s promise when the time comes.”
A smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Cangxiong's rough and bold face. What he wanted was Haotian's words. Hetao now dominates the northwest. Even if he cannot dominate the world, there is still no problem in sweeping Hebei in the future. Haotian and his
Like my father, he values love and justice most in his life. Although his current promise may seem empty, it is of considerable weight. At least, Huaishui's promise should be almost the same as the Bloody Plateau.
"In this case, I can rest assured." Zhang Cangxiong laughed: "However, my dear son-in-law, you are also very aware of the current situation of our Huai River. Except for me and Cang Zong, the only ones among the younger generations who can do anything are
Yuewan and her cousin Jiwei. You poached Yuewan to me, so you can help train Jiwei by the way. We in Huai River still have a long way to go. If we don’t have generals, we can’t do anything.
Restoring the glory of the past is not an easy task, so you should worry more about it."
Haotian frowned, but still nodded. Zhang Jiwei? This can be regarded as a rare rising star in the Zhang family, but haven't he and his father Zhang Cangzong always been disliked by Zhang Cangxiong? Well, Zhang Cangxiong is clearly promoting them vigorously.
It seemed to him that the internal conflicts within the Zhang family were not as deep as usual. It actually forced Zhang Cangxiong to build a new force to check and balance the increasingly powerful Zhang Jishi and his son.
As soon as Zhang Cangxiong left, Luo Xiang walked in. Haotian briefly stated to Luo Xiang what they had just discussed. Luo Xiang's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled: "My lord, the Huai River is already unstable, otherwise Zhang Cangxiong
We won’t be so eager to support Zhang Cangzong and his son to suppress Zhang Cangwu’s power.”
Haotian nodded and said: "I understand this. Zhang Cangxiong has no children, so the heir to the throne is destined to fall on Yue Wan's cousins. And Zhang Jishi has the highest voice now, having been selected a few years ago.
The eldest son of the Zhang family in Huai River. Coupled with the support of Zhang Keliang, the elder of the Zhang family, he is already a sure bet as the future King of Weiyuan. However, my old father-in-law is not a good person. As long as he is alive for one day, Huai River will definitely be
You can't escape his control."
Haotian did not get entangled in this matter, but said with a serious face: "Sir, do you think An Yongchang really doesn't know about His Majesty's dispatch of the Suzaku Legion south this time?"
Luo Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "An Yongchang is an old and cunning man, and has been in charge of the government for many years. Although he has been transferred to a distant place by His Majesty, and the Suzaku Army is also trying its best to be cautious day and night, but such a big movement, if you want to hide it all,
It should be impossible to cross An Yongchang."
After all, Luo Xiang and An Yongchang had the experience of serving as ministers in the same court, and they were deeply aware of An Yongchang's cunning.
"In that case, do you think we can hide our plan to cross the river in Pingzhou from An Yongchang?"
Luo Xiang thought for a while: "Soldiers are very fast. If we advance at full speed now, we should be able to reach Pingzhou at midnight today. In one night's work, at least the vanguard army can cross the river."
The Pingzhou section of the river is at least seven or eight miles wide, so it is impossible to build a pontoon bridge. Moreover, the efficiency of crossing the river in the middle of the night is not as good as during the day, so the speed is naturally much slower.
Haotian thought for a while, and finally slammed the table: "What you said is absolutely true. Now we are competing with An Yongchang for time. If the other party knows our plan, then we will arrange it in the Hongzhou section of the river now."
If we use heavy troops, then even if we can force the crossing, we will suffer heavy losses."
Qiu Mu was bowing his head to write, but Haotian slapped him hard, causing the whole table to jump, and thick ink splashed on Qiu Mu's face. Looking at the angry Qiu Mu, Haotian sneered.
With a smile, he quickly grabbed a handkerchief and wiped it with Qiu Mu.
"Sir, give me my order. Li Xiaomo immediately led 50,000 Qinchuan soldiers, together with Anle King Liu Nanshang's Suzaku Legion, to rush to Binzhou first. After crossing the river, he went directly south from Xingzhou to cut off the retreat of the four ethnic groups in southern Yunnan. All Yunnan people
The Southern Four Tribes and the Jinhua Mitsukoshi belong to this group, so we must not be benevolent as women! The Huai River Yellow Turban Legion is now heading to Shunfengjin in Pingzhou at full speed, and all the ships are gathering towards Shunfengjin to prepare to cross the river tonight!"
Both Li Xiaomo and Liu Nanshang knew that Haotian was preparing to see the combat effectiveness of his own army. He was not afraid of opponents who were like gods, but teammates who were like pigs. Since this was a joint operation, Hetao naturally hoped to have a clearer idea of the combat effectiveness of his allies' armies.
.
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army. Since the founding of the army, the Hetao army has never been defeated with the same number. This is true even if it faces the most elite Mandan armored heavy cavalry outside the Great Wall. Although the Suzaku Army belongs to the empire,
It is a veteran army, but when the army is actually dragged onto the battlefield, there are not many, and half of them are recruits who have not experienced war. Although the combat effectiveness of Qinchuan's army has been fully demonstrated in the battle with the Paradise Alliance, Qinchuan's
After the Song family's sneak attack, it was still a question of how strong the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 troops could be maintained. Therefore, Haotian urgently wanted to know how much responsibility his allies could bear.
"Your Majesty, the Blood Commander and Du Commander under King Jingbei and Princess Qing have led tens of thousands of troops to cross the river from Linzhou. It seems that they should march westward along the Xijiang River, outflanking and cutting off Jinhua Mitsukoshi's retreat." Boundless.
In the dark night, Li Xiaomo sat on his horse and said to Liu Nanshang beside him.
Liu Nanshang nodded in the dark night: "King Jingbei has a big appetite, but it is completely impossible to cut off Jinhua Mitsukoshi's retreat with only 70,000 soldiers."
What Liu Nanshang said is not unreasonable. Even after part of Jinhua Mitsukoshi's troops on Dahu Road were lost, there are still 356,000 troops. In addition to the 100,000 coalition troops of the four tribes in southern Yunnan, even if the Bliss Saint is left aside,
Even if they teach, they can crush the 70,000 troops in Hetao to death.
However, Li Xiaomo doesn't think so. There are many generals in Hetao. Even excluding their famous five generals, Li Xiaositu Liechun Shang and others below are all rare generals. Even Lu Zhenmushan and others can
After all, so many years of hard fighting left countless orphans and widows in Hetao, but it also trained them an iron-clad army and excellent military talents.
"Xiao Mo dare not agree with what the prince said." Li Xiaomo shook his head.
Liu Nanshang said oh, but he was looking forward to Li Xiaomo's next words with great interest. Li Xiaomo can be honored as the top ten heroes of China, and he is not just an ordinary person. Just watching him and Chu Lianfeng lead two thousand cavalry to attack Yan
After what happened at the Elegy Camp, we knew that this was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Your Majesty, since King Jingbei's army captured Meizhou and moved south at full speed, everyone knows that King Jingbei must be preparing to cross the river south to rescue Marshal Ouyang, Duke of Jingnan who is trapped in the isolated city. Because of this, not only
Not only the Eastern Japanese soldiers from Pinglang and Shouzhou in Raozhou but also the four southern Yunnan tribes from the Golden Flower Mitsukoshi of the Bliss Holy Sect on Dahu Road have focused their attention on Shouzhou and the Chaozhou and Hongzhou areas across the river. My lord, have you noticed?
, around Hongzhou, the Zhu Zhao Legion and the Minghui Legion of the Bliss Holy Sect have gathered. As for the Bingheng Legion, they are the follow-up troops of Hongzhou, ready to support at any time. The 200,000 Golden Flower Mitsukoshi Allied Forces led by Park Zhicheng are now also
They were attracted by Duke Jingnan to Hongzhou City. So in other areas of Dahu Road, only tens of thousands of Mitsukoshi soldiers along the Xijiang River and 100,000 allied troops of the four southern Yunnan ethnic groups in the Xingzhou area were left. And the Blood Commander and Du Commander of Hetao
The army he led suddenly marched from Jiangnan Road along the Xijiang River, capable of destroying all obstacles along the way."
Liu Nanshang was startled. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the facts were indeed as Li Xiaomo said. In other areas of Dahu Road, the forces of the Bliss Holy Sect and Jinhua Mitsukoshi were actually extremely empty. So if the two of them were in Congxing,
If we go south to Hongzhou and defeat the allied forces of the four southern Yunnan ethnic groups here, we can at least strategically encircle the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops near Hongzhou. Although this encirclement can only add a little psychological burden to the opponent.
With a sigh, Liu Nanshang said in a long voice: "I didn't expect King Jingbei to be so far-sighted. It seems that when he captured Meizhou, King Jingbei was already preparing how to use Duke Jingnan's army to defeat the Holy Sect of Paradise and the Jin Dynasty.
Hua Sanyue is attracted to Hongzhou, right? The Northwest King who dominates the world is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly in his heart. A few years ago, the Li family was the head of the imperial vassal town. However, in just two or three years, Hetao came from behind and completely overshadowed the Li family's limelight. Although based on the accumulation of grain and grass supplies, Hetao may have
Not as good as Qin Chuan. But when it comes to talent, even if the three major families combined, they probably can't compare with Hetao. Even if Haotian didn't think of these things, he still had Luo Xianghe Xuanji by his side. One was back then.
The situation has come to a head, and now his father is even more jealous of the three outstanding talents. The other one is a descendant of the Guigu lineage who enjoys high prestige in the entire Eastern Continent. With such a great reputation, there is no need for scholars, really.
"Prince Li, although the Hetao army is the god of resistance and killing in the world, they are also raised by their parents. I don't believe that our sons are inferior to the soldiers of the Hetao. Since King Jingbei wants to see our combat effectiveness, then we will
Show yourself well." Liu Nanshang suddenly laughed and said, his tone full of heroism.
Li Xiaomo also laughed when he heard this: "What the prince said makes sense. King Jingbei is watching our performance from behind. We can't let King Jingbei and the Hetao army look down upon."
