Fu Ruoshui was not a quiet and virginal lady. When she was in Hetao, apart from Xian Lianchen, she had the best and liveliest spirit. Just now she saw almost all the high-ranking military and political officials in Hetao gathered here.
I was a little shocked, so I calmed down a little. Who knew that these military gangsters in Hetao were all virtuous, and their pretty faces suddenly turned gloomy.
"Look, the little princess is blushing. Oops, it seems that she was really told what she was thinking." Xin Ke beat his chest and said, "Little princess, come and listen to me and find out who the unlucky guy is?"
Fu Ruoshui not only blushed, but also had bulging cheeks. He gritted his teeth and looked at the high-level officials of Hetao in the hall. However, they were all experienced and thick-skinned people, so no one took her eyes seriously.
Especially when her eyes glanced at Dugu's face, Dugu even pretended to be afraid and said: "Oh, Princess Xiongwei, I'm scared, so scared, who can help me!" Everyone was stunned again.
The whole room burst into laughter.
"Dugu Yuming, you old gangster!" Fu Ruoshui blushed, grabbed a teacup on the table, and threw it at Dugu. Then he waved his hands, leaving countless afterimages on the table.
The teacups have all disappeared.
"I'll smash you to death! I'll smash you to death! And you bastard!" Fu Ruoshui kept grabbing the teacup on the table and threw it at everyone in anger, including Haotian and Fengjing.
"Ruoshui, I didn't provoke you!" Haotian said aggrievedly. The tea cup came over and the tea inside spilled out, but Haotian didn't take it seriously and didn't even move his body. Xin Jiao was behind him.
With just a raise of his slender hand, the teacup turned gracefully and landed gracefully in front of Haotian, and all the tea poured out of the teacup actually returned to the teacup.
Luo Xiang Xue Sha and others were also unhurried. He raised his hand and the tea cup fell into his hands. To others, it looked like Fu Ruoshui took the initiative to serve tea and water to several people. Only the letter was touched by Fu Ruoshui.
I was in a hurry.
"Okay, Ruoshui, don't make a fuss. I asked you to come here because I want to ask about Marshal Fu Jianglou." Haotian saw that the fuss couldn't be worse, so he said with a smile. When Fu Ruoshui heard this,
She immediately became serious. It was a major national matter of Goryeo, and she did not dare to make any mistakes.
Luo Xiang described Zhang Yuewan's return in detail, and at the same time carefully observed Fu Ruoshui's expression. He was surprised to find that Fu Ruoshui looked calm, but there was always a deep sadness in his eyes.
.
"Actually, uncle has been in poor health, I believe you all already know this." Fu Ruoshui said calmly after listening, but the desolate tone in his tone still made people feel a little sad.
"My uncle has been weak since he was a child. If it hadn't been for Master's constant use of medicine, he would have died long ago. Later, during the battle in the East China Sea, although my uncle was physically restrained, in every battle, wherever the flagship is, he must fight to be the first in the battle and retreat to the rear. As time goes by,
My body was even more overwhelmed. Although I rested for several years under the careful care of my master, I could only maintain the current condition." Fu Ruoshui became more and more sad as he spoke, and in the end, there was actually a bit of sobs in his voice.
Luo Xiang was startled and looked at each other, both seeing the worry in the other's eyes.
"Actually, Master's original intention is that our Korean Navy has not fought for many years and is quite short of both warships and soldiers. Therefore, it needs at least two years to train properly. Before conquering Shanhaiguan, we did not dare to act rashly because we were worried
Haixi and Dongbo are aware of our intentions. If they join forces to attack Goryeo, it will be difficult for us to support it. Therefore, the navy's war preparations were completely carried out after the Shanhaiguan was conquered."
"Then that day Fu Shuai led the navy to attack Shanhaiguan by land and water..."
"My uncle knew that we didn't have much time to prepare, so he hoped to test the navy's combat effectiveness with war. Everyone knows the result. Although Shanhaiguan was finally captured, my uncle was quite disappointed."
"In that case, why doesn't Fu Shuai take some time off?"
"Strategically, it's because my uncle believes that with only one Jiaolong Legion, at most it will be a tie with the Eastern Japanese Kato Taka. And the Eastern Japanese were originally founded on Japanese pirates. If they defeat their navy, they cannot use the local shipbuilding base of the Eastern Japanese.
If they are all destroyed, the Dongwa will be able to recover quickly. Without the help of our Korean Navy, the Jiaolong Legion would not be able to complete this task."
After hearing this, everyone had to admire Fu Jianglou's vision. The Eastern Japanese navy had suffered heavy losses, but it was able to recover quickly every time. The reason for this, in addition to the fact that all the Eastern Japanese people were invaders, was because of the Eastern Japanese shipbuilding
The ability is quite powerful. If you want to destroy the Eastern Japanese, you must first annihilate their fleet. The Koryo Navy and the Jiaolong Legion can do this together, but it is impossible to land and fight to destroy the Eastern Japanese. You can only prepare for the follow-up army.
Create conditions. At this time, it is necessary to prevent the Japanese from building warships as much as possible. Therefore, it is imperative to destroy all shipbuilding capabilities in their coastal areas.
However, no one objected to Fu Ruoshui's words of underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Jiaolong Legion. Zhang Yuewan, He Bugui, Zhang Cangzong and others are all the most outstanding water warfare generals in China. Together, they can fight Kato Ying.
They were evenly matched. However, the Eastern Japanese forces were at an advantage, and the Jiaolong Army had a very low chance of winning. Without the help of the Koryo Navy, it would not be possible to completely annihilate the Eastern Japanese Navy, let alone the Eastern Japanese.
"Another reason?" Fengjing asked with open mouth.
Fu Ruoshui hesitated for a moment, and two crystal tears suddenly fell from her eyes. She raised her head and said with a plaintive voice and choked with sobs: "Another reason is that uncle doesn't have much time left. Master said that uncle's current situation is
According to the situation, if you rest peacefully in Xiaochangjing, you can still last for half a year. But if you go on an expedition to the sea, you can last for two months at most..."
After saying this, Fu Ruoshui was already bursting into tears, and Haotian and others looked at each other. They finally understood why Fu Jianglou insisted on launching the final battle against the Eastern Japanese Navy on the night of the full moon this month, because he was worried that he would never
They won't be able to survive the full moon night next month. And without him, a veteran who has fought against the Japanese for many years, to personally take charge, even if they have the advantage in strength, it will be difficult for the combined forces of Goryeo and the Jiaolong Legion in Kato Taka's lair.
win.
Xuanji glanced at Haotian. Now, the focus of the strategic plan is whether to annihilate the Eastern Japanese Navy or Huai River Yangzhou first.
If the Dragon Army is immediately mobilized back to the Huaihe River, then Hetao will be able to easily wipe out the Zhang family, and then use the momentum of great victory to defeat the Holy Bliss Sect that is unable to survive alone. If this is the case, then everything north of the river will fall into the hands of Hetao, and the unification of China will be just around the corner. However,
As a result, it will be very difficult for Hetao to destroy the Eastern Japanese in the future, unless Kato Ying's navy is lured out and annihilated in one fell swoop. However, Kato Ying is as cunning as a fox, how can he be so easily fooled?
If the Eastern Japanese Navy is wiped out first, it will be quite difficult for the Huai River Zhang family and the Ji Le Sect. Moreover, after the Eastern Japanese Navy is wiped out, the Navy will immediately go to the Eastern Japanese mainland and destroy all the shipbuilding bases of the Eastern Japanese.
Destroy it. Kill him while he is sick. This is the eternal principle. If it is to land in the East Japan, the war of annihilation of the country and the annihilation of the tribe cannot be explained by normal theory, and there are more than 200,000 troops in the East Japan area, and the Hetao area
In addition to the navy, at least 400,000 troops must be mobilized, otherwise it is completely impossible to guarantee the ability of his clan to destroy the Eastern Japanese.
"How many available troops can we mobilize?" Haotian asked flatly.
"Excluding the Destroyed Legion and the Mushan Division of the Rock Legion that maintains order on Yizhou Road, our army's total strength is 650,000, but the actual strength is about 630,000. Among them, 290,000 are cavalry and 3,000 are infantry.
160,000." Xuanji said in a deep voice. Due to battle losses, some soldiers were not replenished in time, but an army of 630,000 is enough to cope with all situations.
Haotian pondered for a moment, these are all the troops that Hetao can currently use. However, if necessary, the 50,000 soldiers of the Mushan Division of the Panshi Army stationed on Yizhou Road can be quickly mobilized. Of course, they can also be replaced by Xue Qingcheng's troops.
Snow Lion Legion.
"Military advisor, how many troops do you think we will need to quell the Japanese invaders?" Haotian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and Xuanji even vaguely saw a hint of madness in them.
"Four hundred thousand! Our initial estimate was four hundred thousand! Of course, if the navy did not suffer too many losses in the decisive battle with Kato Taka, we should need less troops. Towa is an island country, and the central area is mountainous.
It is densely covered and the coast is relatively flat. If we land in Dongwa, the opponent will definitely retreat towards the inland mountains if they are defeated. Therefore, the cavalry can only be an auxiliary unit, while the infantry is the main force in the battle." Xuanji paused for a moment.
, asked someone to find the map of Dongbo, considered it carefully and said: "My subordinates believe that the cavalry number is about 100,000. As for the infantry, at least 250,000 are needed. In this way, combined with our navy, we will definitely be able to
Destroy the Japanese!"
Luo Xiang suddenly said: "For military advisors, when conducting cross-sea expeditions, in addition to considering natural factors such as wind direction and sea currents, we also need to consider many aspects such as the transportation capacity of our army. We in Hetao did not pay attention to the navy before, and in fact we did not have enough conditions to develop the navy.
, so there are not many battleships and transport ships. Moreover, our transport ships vary in size, and are mostly used in inland and coastal areas. For ocean expeditions, large ships of large tonnage are required. An army of 350,000,
One hundred thousand war horses would require at least a thousand large transport ships. Even if naval warships are added, the transport ships would still require at least 600 transport ships. And in our Hetao, all the transport ships combined can transport at most 150,000
infantry."
"This is a problem." Chu Xiangcheng said.
Most of the naval forces of Qingfeng's major forces have been destroyed in the war. Now, except for Hetao, there is also an established Jiaolong Corps, and the rest are unable to take action at all. The coastal areas of Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, which were originally full of masts, have been destroyed by the East.
Japan was completely destroyed and there was no large transport fleet available.
Feng Jing did the math on his fingers and said melancholy: "This is just a ship needed to transport soldiers. Don't forget, there is still a sea of 400 miles between China and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty. We are here
Chongming Island has not established a transit base, and the grain and grass needed on the way need to be transported from the country. This requires a large number of ships. Moreover, after landing on Dongbo, if Dongbo adopts the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country, then we will have dozens of
What does Wan Dajun eat? This issue must also be taken into consideration."
Everyone looked at the map spread out on the table, all frowning. The prerequisite for attacking the Eastern Japanese mainland is that the entire Eastern Japanese Navy is annihilated. In this case, during the march of the army, it will not be attacked by the Eastern Japanese Navy.
of obstruction.
Now, Fu Jianglou originally wanted to lead the Koryo Navy in a decisive battle with the Japanese pirates, which satisfied Loop's wishes. However, the lack of ships made Loop's side worried.
"Actually, it's not impossible!" Xuanji said in a deep voice: "As long as Fu Shuai and Mistress Yue Wan can completely annihilate the Eastern Japanese navy, if we want to land in the Eastern Japanese navy, at least we don't have to worry about the transport fleet."
"Oh? Is the military advisor already confident?" Haotian was overjoyed.
Xuanji nodded: "I don't think I'm confident, but I just have a little suggestion." After saying that, Xuanji didn't pretend to be mysterious, and immediately told his thoughts completely.
After a cup of tea, Luo Xiang slapped his thigh fiercely: "A great military strategist, he deserves to be a descendant of the divine machine. In this case, let's implement the next action plan! The army will be ready to attack in three days!"
"I'm afraid it won't work in three days. The Navy has to start taking action before we can take action!" Xuanji said calmly.
Haotian thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Bring the Destruction Legion and the Chasing Deer Legion with you!"
At the end of May 625 in the Chinese Calendar, the Hetao army that had been resting in Tiandu Shengjing finally took a step forward again. Hundreds of thousands of troops slowly drove out of the gate of Tiandu Shengjing. Amidst the rumbling of war drums, the clouds of war once again appeared.
The whole sky was densely covered. Although it was not known where the target of Hetao was, except for one Tiger and Ben regiment, all the infantry were deployed. It was obvious that the target was to target the Zhang family in Huai River.
In the end, Hetao did not send troops to Huai River within three days as Haotian said, but rested for nearly ten days before mobilizing the entire army. It is obvious that Hetao attaches great importance to the Zhang family in Huai River. The 650,000 soldiers who went south
The large army, plus the 150,000 soldiers of the two legions of Destruction and Zhulu, actually used more than 700,000 soldiers, completely preparing to completely wipe out the Zhang family with a thunderous force.
"What do you mean, Lord? To deal with a Zhang family, do you need an army of 700,000 people?" Chu Lianfeng said in confusion among the army.
Sheng Lanxin was beside him. This woman, the most refined among the ten heroes, was wearing a military uniform, with a long sword on her waist, and riding a good horse that Fu Ruoshui specially selected for her.
In her heroic appearance, she shows her true character as a heroine.
Although she dislikes war, Sheng Lanxin is still very happy to be able to join the battlefield as a woman. Even though she is a strange woman who has seen through the world of mortals, she still has many expectations in her heart. As this person who only wants to
For a woman who wants to restore the glory of China, fighting on the battlefield is not a great blessing in life.
Hearing Chu Lianfeng's words, Sheng Lan also said doubtfully: "Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I also know that the Huai River area is densely covered with rivers, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be greatly weakened, so there is no need to mobilize so many cavalry.
Cavalry. Moreover, the Zhang family is weak. Except for the Yellow Turban Army, which can stand up to a fight, the rest are not worth mentioning at all. Why bother with so much effort?"
After saying that, Sheng Lanxin looked around, hoping to find some support for her from the expressions of the generals around her. Inadvertently, she found that Leng Ruoxing's eyebrows were frowning and his face was not good-looking.
"Ruoxing, what's wrong with you?" Sheng Lanxin asked with concern.
Leng Ruoxing smiled bitterly: "I'm fine. It's just that Junior Sister Yue Wan was born in the Zhang family in Huaishui. I have been friends with her since childhood, and we love her as sisters, so naturally I feel a little uncomfortable."
Sheng Lanxin suddenly remembered that Leng Ruoxing and Zhang Yuewan were both born in the Yanyu Ninghua Palace. Leng Ruoxing spent a large part of his childhood on the Huai River, and had close friendships with several of Zhang Yuewan's cousins.
.Although Zhang Yuewan is not in Huai River now, Zhang Jishi, Zhang Jimin and Zhang Jinan are still in Huai River after all. Leng Ruoxing is naturally very embarrassed.
At the moment, Sheng Lanxin comforted him and said: "Ruoxing, don't think too much, my lord has always been nostalgic for the old relationship. Although the Zhang family made huge mistakes, they were Hetao's best friends after all. Besides, isn't Yue Wan still there?"
Are you there? As long as she exists, the lord will not kill him ruthlessly."
Sheng Lanxin and Zhang Yuewan didn't have many contacts, but Leng Ruoxing was different. She had known Zhang Yuewan for many years, and she knew very well how Zhang Yuewan was a bold and courageous woman. Zhang Yuewan was indeed born in the Zhang family of Huaishui, and she was very familiar with the people in the family.
She is indeed very affectionate, but this junior sister who hates herself the most for not being a man has always had clear grudges. Zhang Cangwu and others conspired to rebel, assassinated Weiyuan King Zhang Cangxiong, and raised troops to go north to intercept Haotian's two sons. This revenge
Zhang Yuewan would never let go of this hatred so easily.
Since Zhang Yuewan was the direct princess granted by the Qingfeng court at that time, and Ruoyu Hanmei had only two apprentices in her life, Leng Ruoxing had always been trained as the future head of the Yanyu Ninghua Palace. Because of this, she
I don’t have many friends. The Zhang Yuewan brother and sister I met when they were young in Huai River are the few people I can talk to. When I think about the Hetao army sending troops this time, the Huai River will definitely not be protected, and Zhang Jishi and other friends will also suffer consequences.
As expected, Leng Ruoxing couldn't help but feel confused.
Li Xiaomo came over at some point. Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Xiaomo said with a smile: "Junior sister Leng, don't worry. In fact, our expedition this time may not be against the Zhang family in Huaishui."
"Huh?" Sheng Lanxin and Leng Ruoxing both looked surprised, and Chu Lianfeng also came over. They actually have no military accomplishments, and their command level is probably similar to that of ordinary guards commanders in Hetao.
Just because they were friends of Haotian and Hetao, they were specially promoted. However, Li Xiaomo was different. Even among the current Hetao army, he was the most outstanding general. He had considerable military standards.
