Jiangling, governor's office.
This former headquarters of the Huan family has also become Huan Xuan's palace in the past two years. It is decorated with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, all in the same style as an emperor. However, it is different from the splendid official palace in Jiankang City.
There is an unspeakable chilling atmosphere in the Governor's Mansion. Soldiers in armor are running in and out here constantly. Even the civil servants are dressed in short clothes. It is more like a palace than a palace or a government office.
The military camp. The tall flag with the character "Huan" flying in front of the hall, and the two bloody heads of Wang Kangchan and Wang Tengzhi hanging beside the flag, further prove this point.
Huan Zhen, wearing a large armor, stood in front of a huge sand table in the main hall. On this sand table, the five hundred miles of mountains and rivers in Jiangling area could be seen. And here in Jiangling City, the wooden black sergeant chess pieces and war horse chess pieces were added.
There are only five chess pieces in total, but there are more than ten sergeants and warships under the "He" character coming from the east side of the river. From the direction of Xiangyang City in the north, there are also eight horse-step chess pieces going south, passing Changban, facing
This lonely Jiangling City formed a joint attack pattern.
He Danzhi looked sad and said: "Commander, the envoy we sent to contact Lu Zongzhi was killed by Lu. It seems that this ungrateful guy is determined to become an enemy of Dachu. This time
He personally raised a large army and sent out all the Nanyang elite to attack. His son Lu Gui, who was known as the enemy of ten thousand people, led 3,000 Yongzhou elite soldiers as the vanguard. They had already passed Dangyang and were less than 800 miles away from Jiangling."
Huan Qian also sighed: "The Eight Bandits in Jing also quickly defeated Baling Dacang. He Wuji received reinforcements from the rear, with more than 10,000 troops, and went down the river to meet up with Liu Daogui who was dispatched earlier. Now he is at
At Ma Tou, the troops of Huan Xianke, Huan Wei, Fu Hong and other troops who stayed at Ma Tou's third base were all defeated. Fu Hong was killed on the spot, Huan Xianke was captured alive, and only Huan Wei escaped. He Wuji suffered this
Encouraged, the light troops marched straight ahead. They had already crossed the horse's head and were less than three hundred miles away from Jiangling. Commander, the envoy we sent to discuss peace and return Sima Dewen also rushed back. He Wuji arrogantly claimed,
I want to capture Jiangling personally and welcome these two people back."
Huan Zhen sneered and said: "These are all within my expectations. I asked Huan Shi in the north to withdraw all his troops. I have also recalled the troops in Baidi City in the west. Now I have fifteen thousand elite soldiers in my hands.
, not the five thousand they saw.”
Everyone opened their eyes in surprise: "Fifteen thousand? Commander, are you kidding me? Why did we send so many extra troops out of thin air? How come we didn't know about it?"
Bian Fanzhi on the side smiled slightly: "This is a clever plan that the marshal made as early as the time of Emperor Bai. On the surface, when the news of the late emperor's death came, most of the tribe dispersed, but in fact, most of them dispersed.
They had already received the commander's order and went back to their hometowns to recruit new soldiers. As soon as our Jiangling uprising was successful, they led loyal men from their hometowns to join forces. They did not assemble directly in Jiangling, but near Jiangling.
The mountains and forests are hidden and concentrated, and the reason why we are almost undefended in the east and north, allowing two groups of thieves to advance in lightly, is to make them think that we are weak and can be easily dealt with. In this way, we can advance all the way, and then we can use
Concentrate the main force on the terrain and attack them head-on. Only by inflicting pain on them and defeating them can Jiangling be safe, and only then can there be real negotiations!"
He Danzhi said excitedly: "Then shall we attack Lu Zongzhi first? After all, He Wuji is a famous general in Beifu, and Liu Daogui is also a powerful character. Their subordinates are all genuine Beifu soldiers. They fought all the way from Jiankang to Jiangling.
The troops are extremely sharp. Although Lu Zongzhi's Yongzhou troops and horses are also very strong, they are still much worse than the Beifu army. We first defeat Lu Zongzhi and cut off his foreign aid, and then use the power of victory to deal with He Wuji. The chances of winning are better.
big."
Huan Qian also said: "General He is right, let's fight like this."
Huan Zhen's face twitched: "No, it's just because He Wuji is stronger, so we set up this game to catch the enemy by surprise. Instead of hitting the weak one, it's better to hit the strong one first. If we deal with it first
After Lu Zongzhi was killed, He Wuji would be vigilant and would definitely stay put and wait for Liu Yi's army to come up to join in support. They now have two large granaries in Xiakou and Baling. They have no shortage of logistics and can afford it. They are far away from Jiangling.
It is closer and more threatening. Even if we completely annihilate Lu Zongzhi, we cannot take advantage of the situation and go north to attack Xiangyang."
"But if it's the other way around, if we defeat or even eliminate He Wuji and Liu Daogui, then Lu Zongzhi will definitely be shaken and will not dare to move forward anymore. He will shrink back to Xiangyang, and even reconcile with us or even join us.
Liu Yi will not rush forward after his defeat. We can take the opportunity to negotiate peace with him at this time. Once Liu Yi can accept Sima Dewen and return to Jiankang to fight for power with Liu Yu, we will have enough time to eliminate Lu Zongzhi.
Completely capture Jingzhou, and now the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao in Guangzhou have also captured Lingnan. These people have sworn hatred with the Jingba thieves. We can unite with the demon thieves to deal with the Jingba thieves. Even if Liu Yu comes in person at that time,
We don’t have to be afraid of him anymore.”
He Danzhi's brows were still frowning: "However, we have all seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Beifu Army. Just a few days ago, General Wang Huizhi's Baling garrison numbered tens of thousands, bringing together all the troops from Xiangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
The elite of the county, but under the attack of five thousand Beijing thieves, they were lost after two days of defense. Even if we can catch He Wuji by surprise, can we really win?"
Huan Zhen laughed wildly, shaking the beams and causing dust to fall: "A few state and county soldiers and horses can defeat bandits and mountain bandits, but can they also fight against the elite soldiers of hundreds of battles? I have fifteen thousand soldiers and horses,
In addition to the thousands of Jiangling garrison, they are all elite soldiers who have been with me in the south and north for more than ten years. Compared with these Beifu soldiers, they are stronger, not weaker. He Wuji is known as the fierce general of Beifu.
Ma Tai almost died in my hands. He didn't have Liu Yu to help him this time, so what should I be afraid of?! Sir, please sit quietly in Jiangling City and guard the city. I'll go meet He Wuji and come again.
Oh, by the way, let’s make the celebration banquet at noon tomorrow a little more sumptuous. My soldiers must eat something good after their victory!”
As he spoke, he put on his helmet and walked out of the palace without looking back. Huan Qian suddenly thought of something and said loudly: "Commander, what if, I mean, if the war goes against us, what should we do?"
Huan Zhen kept walking and walked forward. His voice came with the wind: "If I lose, you can take Sima Dezong with you and flee to the Later Qin Dynasty. For the sake of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, Yao Xing will take you in."
.Remember, if Sima Dewen is left with Liu Yi, even if our Huan family is defeated, we will not be able to make the Eight Thieves in Beijing feel comfortable!"
