Chapter 212 The Decisive Battle in Liantan Town ([-])
On the 60th day of the twelfth lunar month in the [-]th year of Kangxi, it was the day of family reunion on New Year's Eve, but because of this war, the people lived in a deserted and deserted way, and not many people decorated with lanterns and festoons, especially in the city of Anqing. There is a feeling that a storm is coming, and many people are fighting for life and death.

The fleet departing from Wuchang finally arrived in Anqing on the fifth day after going down the river. From the camp of the Fuhan Army under the city of Anqing, there were a large number of soldiers of the Fuhan Army who brought supplies from the pier. Carried up little by little, in the tense and peaceful environment, it seemed somewhat harmonious.

An officer of the Fuhan Army is holding a brush and an account book in his hand, and he is registering the delivery of materials. This is also the current regulation of the Fuhan Army. Two separate pens, one is the material list sent by the transferer, and the other is the material list of the receiver, and the two must match.

When receiving the materials, the recipient must check whether the materials on the account are consistent with the actually delivered materials. Only when they are consistent will they receive them. Otherwise, in the case of illegal receipt, all responsibilities will be borne by the recipient. If the recipient stops receiving, The allocating party needs to check their own materials. If the two parties disagree, the Military Law Department of the Fuhan Army will dispatch an investigation team to check.

"Chang Youcai, you kid can do it now! You have already mixed into the general logistics department, and at that time, we old brothers will be able to benefit from Dora!"

Dong Ce looked at the old acquaintance in front of him, but his face was deliberately joking with a smile on his face. He has a meticulous temperament, but there are people who are more meticulous than him, that is, Chang Youcai, who used to be a brother who scooped food out of a spoon, but Their career trajectories were quite different.

Many talents also emerged in the Young Eagle Battalion back then, but most of them were in the combat army. Dong Ce, Xu Chengliang, Li Shihu and others were like this, and Chang Youcai and several others gradually became more and more talented. Transferred from the front line to Wuchang, he is more responsible for some small affairs, like Chang Youcai who is now working under Ning Zhongjing, and he can be regarded as a prosperous official.

Chang Youcai chuckled and didn't speak. He just pointed to the endless fleet and said with a wry smile: "If there are any supplies in Huguang, they will all be on this boat. The King of Chu has issued a strict order. We must be responsible for the logistics to the end, these hundreds of miles of waterways are now all ships prepared for the departure of the army."

As a core member, Dong Ce naturally knew that the use of ships was absolutely indispensable in this plan, so he was quite moved when he looked at the invisible ships.

"We've put all our effort into breastfeeding! This battle, I think it's a sure win!"

The Fuhan Army made a big move, so of course they couldn't hide it from Yue Zhongqi's eyes. Looking at the fleet and supplies all over the river, he felt a slight thump in his heart, thinking that the Fuhan Army's big move was coming.As for the target, it is likely to be Anqing City, but I am even more excited.

God knows how long Yue Zhongqi waited and waited. Although Anqing City is under heavy siege, he is capable and has enough time to make use of all the young and strong in Anqing, but Anqing It became a fortress. Although this fortress was powerless to attack, Yue Zhongqi was quite confident if it could resist the attack of the Fu Han army.

However, to Yue Zhongqi's surprise, after the New Year's Eve, the actions of the entire Fuhan army became more low-key. He immediately sent a large number of spies to observe every move of the Fuhan army every day, but found that Troops continued to mobilize to the riverside, and then left Anqing by boat, looking eastward all the way.

Yue Zhongqi, who got the news, felt a little flustered. Due to many wars, Jiangning's Eight Banners and Green Battalion had been withdrawn, and the Qing army's defense in Jiangning had become very empty. Partial division to attack Jiang Ning, what should I do?
What does the Qing court without Jiang Ning mean?It means that the whole Jiangnan may be in danger. If this moment really comes, all his actions of Yue Zhongqi in Anqing will become a joke.When the time comes, the entire imperial court will probably regard Yue Zhongqi as a sinner through the ages.

Yue Zhongqi's original plan has naturally gone bankrupt. In this game between the two sides, it is to see whose empty door will be exposed. Before the Fuhan army was Wuchang, now the Qing court is Jiangning, but the Qing court's surprise attack on Wuchang failed in the end. After all, Fu Erdan was also captured by the Fuhan army, but it is difficult for Jiang Ning to persevere in the onslaught of the Fuhan army.

Of course, such actions of the Fuhan army will also expose its own weakness, that is, it is too dependent on the water transportation of the entire Yangtze River. If the Qing army can win a big victory under the city of Anqing and block the Yangtze River again, the Fuhan army will be completely defeated. Divided into two strands, it will be much easier to eliminate.

If Emperor Kangxi knew what happened here, he would probably take advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Fuhan army to advance eastward, and attack the Fuhan army who stayed here southward. The advancing Fuhan army also became a lone army.

It's just that all of this was Yue Zhongqi's speculation, but he didn't dare to gamble on this possibility, because the Qing court couldn't afford to lose, and Yue Zhongqi couldn't afford to lose even more. After thinking about it, Yue Zhongqi secretly sent people out of the city to investigate the news, and On the one hand, taking advantage of the fact that the Fuhan army had not completely sealed off the whole city, they wrote all this into a secret document and presented it to Emperor Kangxi.

In Tongcheng, a large number of soldiers of the Qing army were playing and playing in the city. The military discipline of the past has disappeared at this time. Many people started to shake the sieve on the street. Many people even drank wantonly and got drunk. The people are miserable.

A large number of oxen and horse-drawn carts are also shuttling through the small city, but they are the military supplies and grass transported by the surrounding provinces. They have gradually arrived in Tongcheng. , This is also the practice of the Qing court. Once a war breaks out, many logistical affairs will be undertaken by the local and surrounding provinces.

Kangxi also seemed to smell something unusual. In the replies to his courtiers, the tone was not so harsh. Ordinary officials occasionally lost their dues, ranging from dismissal from office to resignation. The provinces have been squeezed out of their maximum mobilization ability to provide the food, drink and lazard for the [-] troops in Tongcheng.

"Anqing sent an urgent report. It seems that Ning Yu led a part of the Fuhan army to sail eastward by boat. The target seemed to be directed at Jiangning. Yue Zhongqi was powerless to stop him, and sent an apology to the emperor!"

Jiang Ning!Danger!
This excerpt exploded in Kangxi's heart like a thunderclap, but it left him speechless for a long time.
