The ugly daughter-in-law still has to see her parents-in-law. The sneak attack failed last night and dozens of small boats were destroyed. Wan Yanchang probably already knows about it, but he still can't do it without explaining it himself.
Dong Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to see Wan Yanchang.
But to Dong Xian's surprise, Wan Yanchang didn't care about last night's failure. He was very interested in Jiang Yanxian's spies searching for Chen Qing.
Wan Yanchang smiled and said: "This Jiang Yanxian is very powerful! Every point is very accurate. He secretly investigated in two directions and hit the mark. This person deserves to be reused."
"He is a civil servant, a Jinshi, and worked as a case officer in Dali Temple for eight years. Later he was sent abroad, but he has no background, so he has never been reused."
"No wonder!"
Wan Yanchang remembered the name Jiang Yanxian.
He smiled at Dong Xian again and said: "Go back and tell Jiang Dutong that if you find out, don't alert the snake, just send people to monitor. I will use them to pass some 'important information' to Chen Qing."
Dong Xian nodded quickly, "Remember this humble position!"
Wan Yanchang added: "There is one more thing you need to prepare. Now there are 100,000 troops in Xiangyang, leaving 20,000 to guard Xiangyang. The other 80,000 troops are ready to attack at any time. You must prepare all logistics, equipment, food and grass first.
.”
Dong Xian was confused, "I wonder where the governor's army is going to attack?"
"Attack Yingzhou Changshou County!"
Wan Yanchang said calmly: "As soon as Chen Qing withdraws his troops, it will be our time to attack!"
Dong Xian was even more confused. Chen Qing withdrew his troops. Why did Chen Qing withdraw his troops?
He wanted to ask, but Wan Yanchang didn't seem to tell him his plans, so he just shut up and left in amusement.
Wan Yanchang came to the map with his hands behind his back. He looked at Baling County on the map and said to himself: "There is a fire in the lair. Let's see if you can withdraw the troops!"
...........
The Song Army's naval capital was controlled by Zhang Jun, the Xuanfu envoy to Jiangdong in western Zhejiang. The navy was composed of five naval armies: the Yangtze River Navy, the Mingzhou Navy, the Quanzhou Navy, the Guangzhou Navy and the Huguang Navy.
Five navy generals each command an army.
The commander of the navy in Mingzhou was called Xu Wen. He was about fifty years old and had been in the army for thirty years. He had a lot of seniority in the army.
The Mingzhou navy has 60 large and small warships and more than 4,000 navy troops stationed in Wuhu County. Generals Zhang Jun, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals did not express their opinions on the matter of Chen Qing being granted the title of Duke of Jing, but Xu Wen was seriously concerned.
Out of balance.
Xu Wen has been in the army for thirty years and has not even become a baron. Chen Qing has become a duke at a young age, which makes Xu Wenqing embarrassed.
Xu Wen didn't resent Chen Qing. Chen Qing's credit was put here, so he had nothing to say. He resented the civil service system of the court and the generals had no chance to rise.
In Lin'an, the officials were so frightened that they fled to the sea. Wouldn't he personally drive a warship to protect them?
The officials were extremely grateful to him at the time, but after returning to Lin'an, they immediately forgot about him. In the end, the governor of Mingzhou performed meritorious service and was promoted to a high rank. As a military general, he was completely forgotten.
This incident lurked in his heart like a devil, and Chen Qing's being granted the title of Duke of Jing awakened the devil in his heart.
At night, Xu Wen drank wine with several generals in the brothel as usual. Each of them held a prostitute in his arms. While drinking, he touched her hands unscrupulously and laughed heartily from time to time.
At this time, a soldier hurriedly walked in and said a few words to Xu Wen. Xu Wen was startled and was immediately awakened from his drunkenness.
He pushed away the woman beside him, stood up and smiled at several generals: "You guys keep drinking, I'm going to take a step in advance, and the money for the wine will be in my name."
Xu Wen hurriedly returned to the military camp on the dock and walked into the tent. He saw a middle-aged man sitting in the tent drinking tea. Xu Wen quickly clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Li, please wait."
The middle-aged man named Li Jin is Wan Yanchang's staff. This is the second time he has contacted Xu Wen.
Ever since Xu Wen wrote a letter to his relative who was an official in Bianliang more than a month ago, Wan Yanchang immediately followed Xu Wen and sent Li Jin to contact Xu Wen half a month ago.
Xu Wen had already decided to surrender to Qi. The key now was the conditions. Whether Qi would agree to the conditions he proposed.
Li Jin smiled slightly and said: "I have good news for Xu Tongzhi today!"
Xu Wen was overjoyed and quickly asked the soldiers to serve tea again. The two sat down, and Li Jin took out a letter and handed it to Xu Wen, "This is a personal letter from the capital supervisor to you. As long as you bring the ships and navy to the north bank,
, the capital supervisory army guarantees that you will be granted the title of county king, and will be granted the title of commander of the capital, commander of the navy, and the title of champion general."
Xu Wen certainly believed in Wan Yanchang's guarantee, as he was the Supreme Emperor of Qi.
Xu Wen hurriedly read the letter. As expected, the letter contained detailed promises. All three positions were in place, but what about the actual benefits?
Xu Wen asked again: "Will a general like me who is not in the capital be given an official residence?"
Li Jin understood what he meant. He pointed to the letter and asked him to look at the bottom. Only then did Xu Wen notice that there was another line at the bottom, "A beautiful house with thirty acres in Bianjing, fifty beauties, and thirty fertile fields."
After a while, I will reward you with thirty thousand guans and twenty thousand bolts of silk.'
This is real money!
Xu Wen was overjoyed, "In this way, I can go to the North Bank at any time!"
Li Jin waved his hand and said: "I need to clarify a few questions. First, are your soldiers willing to follow you?"
Xu Wen smiled and said: "My generals are basically my confidants. If they surrender to the Jin Kingdom, they may be a little hesitant, but surrendering to the Qi Kingdom should not be a big problem, because most of the generals are from the Central Plains, and the soldiers are also from the Central Plains.
Likewise, all personnel and ships must have surrendered."
Li Jin nodded and said: "The second question is about ships. You have twenty thousand-stone, two-thousand-stone, and three-thousand-stone warships under your command. The Imperial Guard hopes to add ten more three-thousand-stone warships. Is it possible?"
Do it?"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The fleet closest to me is also in Health Mansion. It takes at least ten days for the ship to come and go."
Seeing that the other party refused to help, Li Jin stopped mentioning the matter. He said to Xu Wen again: "The State of Qi has assembled an army of 30,000 people in Huangzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River. They want to borrow your big ship to send 30,000 people to Hanyang, and on the Han River,
There are dozens of warships anchored, you must capture them all."
"No problem, I'm here to help!"
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
...........
On the morning of the next day, Xu Wen sent troops to plunder Wuhu County. The soldiers killed people, set fires, raped women, and looted all the people and dozens of large merchants in Wuhu County.
Two days later, the soldiers plundered a large amount of wealth and young women, and then changed their flags. Sixty warships loaded with looted wealth and women left Wuhu County in a mighty manner and headed for Anqing Mansion on the north bank of the Yangtze River, where they formally surrendered to the puppets.
together.
Yue Fei, the commander in charge of the defense of Wuhu, received the news and rushed to Lin'an to report. Unexpectedly, Qin Hui suppressed the matter on the grounds that he could not shake the morale of the army.
........
The six thousand new recruits recruited by Jiangling Prefecture are in full swing training.
Yellow dust was billowing on the school grounds, and cheers and cheers resounded across the sky.
Two generals are competing in martial arts on the school field. One side is the fierce general Yang Zaixing, and the other is the newly joined Gaoding. What is interesting is that both of them use long spears. Yang Zaixing uses a 20-pound Panlong Golden Spear. Gaoding
It uses a tiger head Zhan golden gun made of iron and steel.
In terms of strength, Gaoding has the upper hand, but Yang Zaixing's marksmanship is even more elusive. They actually use the two most famous marksmanships of the Song Dynasty, Gao Jia Qiang and Yang Jia Qiang. The styles of the two marksmanships are also completely different.
The style of Gao's gun is very tough, similar to Chen Qing's. It has no false moves, is good at speed and strength, and has fierce murderous intent. The style of Yang's gun is flexible, and its marksmanship is unpredictable and unpredictable. It penetrates every hole like mercury leaking into the ground.
Both types of marksmanship have their own characteristics, and we can’t say who is stronger or weaker. The key lies in personal ability.
It happened that these two people both represented the highest level of marksmanship between the two families, so the soldiers were feasting their eyes and watching intoxicatedly. Even Chen Qing also gained a lot.
The two fought fiercely for more than fifty rounds, with neither winning nor losing.
At this time, a soldier rushed to Chen Qing and handed him a tube of eagle mail. It was sent from Baling County. It was actually a red mailbox. This was different from the usual black mailbox, which indicated that the situation was critical.
Chen Qing quickly opened the letter, which was a letter written by Yang Yuanqing himself. The content inside made Chen Qing's face change greatly.
