I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 160

On the Bian River, the Grand Marshal's banner fluttered on a huge building boat.

The towers and boats of the Jin Dynasty built three layers of buildings, with female walls, battle grids, banners, crossbow windows and spear holes, and throwing carts and stone iron juice, which looked like a city fortress.

And this big ship has five floors, more than a hundred feet high and thirty feet long, the whole body is painted black and red, with a low tip and a wide top, with thick and wide sails. It is like standing out from the flock.

And this big ship is also the ship of Prince Zhao Yuantan, Marshal of the Army and Horses of the World.

In the spacious cabin, there are several maps hanging, one is the Jianghuai map, the other is the world map, and the other is a map centered on Jiangzhou, covering Jiangnan, Huainan, and Shannan.

With the continuous delivery of front-line battle reports, Raozhou, Jianchang, Xinchang, Pengze, Hongzhou and other places have been drawn with red circles.

"In this way, Jiangzhou is in danger." Zhao Yuantan looked at the map and felt that the situation was critical.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiangzhou?"

Li Yan, the right concubine son of the crown prince of the East Palace, said: "There are still more than [-] people in Jiangzhou. The food and grass will be used for half a year."

"Maybe hold?"

Cheng Jintang said: "It's difficult. Both Raozhou and Hongzhou are lost. The rebels can already control Poyang Lake. The garrisons in Ezhou, Fuzhou, Yuanzhou, Jizhou and other places have long been withdrawn. The only thing that can be counted on is the Wuling Army under the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion. However, the Hengye Army and Shannan Army of the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion have already been withdrawn to go south, and the Wuling Army is being transferred out, and the Wuxi Man may take the opportunity to make trouble. However, the navy army under the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is available."

"How about Marquis Wu'an and Marquis Ping Bei?"

Prince Zhongyun Lin Changyuan said: "The Marquis of Pingbei has brought the martial arts Zhongwei, and the Anguo Army to the opposite bank of Jiangzhou to deploy defense. The Marquis of Wu'an is still in Yangzhou."

"Jiangzhou. Send an order that the army that arrived in Huainan earlier, as well as the troops of Jingzhou Governor Gao Hechen, belong to Marquis Wu'an for restraint! Order Marquis Wu'an to rescue Jiangzhou."

"promise."

This military order seemed to be the timely rain, which solved Fu Jinchuan's urgent need of having no soldiers to use.

In early November, the Xiaoguo and Pengri armies rushed to Huainan as the front.

Among them, the Xiaoguo Army has four infantry troops and one cavalry army.In favor of the Japanese army, there are five cavalry troops in the whole army.

The arrival of [-] elite frontier troops made Fu Jinchuan overjoyed.

He Baxu, the military envoy of the Xiaoguo Army, was born in the Heba clan of a large family in Guanzhong. His father was Heba Yanzong, Marquis of Wucheng, and his uncle was Heba Guangsi, a famous general who had just been transferred to Hexi Jiedushi.

Since he was a child, he followed his uncle to guard the frontier of Longyou in the northwest. He was brave in combat, capable of riding and shooting, and was nicknamed "Longyou Flying General" in the army.

In the Battle of Lingshou, Liu Zhongkan, a general of the rebel army, was shot off his horse with one arrow, and his troops were the first to enter the battle and captured Liu Bogui, one of the leaders of the bandits.

As for Shi Wannian, he was an old acquaintance of Fu Jinchuan.He has experienced the battles of Baiting and Shule together, and he is the second most powerful general in the Hexi army after Xue Cong.

When the two rushed to Yangzhou, Fu Jinchuan definitely wanted to show his friendship as a landlord, so he hosted a banquet in honor of the two at the Governor's Mansion.

After exchanging pleasantries, they are all military generals, and now there is another war, so words must be inseparable from the current situation.

"In the battle of Hezhou a few days ago, the governor defeated the crowd with a few horses and swept the formation with five horses. This is a good story through the ages, but I don't know how powerful the rebel army is? Why did Jiangzhou fight? Is the situation so critical?"

He Baxu and Fu Jinchuan have known each other for a long time, and they are both warriors, so their conversations are very straightforward.

Fu Jinchuan drank a cup of warm yellow rice wine here, and felt a warmth flow into his stomach, and then said: "Compared with the Jianghuai army and the forbidden army, the rebel army's combat power is slightly better than that of the imperial army, but it is naturally better than the frontier army's elite. It is very far. The victory of Hezhou and the defeat of Jiangzhou are also very simple. In the battle of Hezhou, the top and bottom can be united, but in the battle of Jiangzhou, Li Wuxiang's new funeral, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and three deputy marshals ordered to go out There are many sects, and each army has its own ulterior motives, and if they cannot advance and retreat together, they will naturally lead to a big defeat."

"As for the water battle at Poyang Lake, I couldn't personally experience it. It must be because of repeated defeats that the rebels have already risen and it is difficult to contain them. And Zhang Hou's state affairs are difficult, but now that the imperial reinforcements have arrived, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River must be wiped out in a few days. "

After hearing Fu Jinchuan's words, Shi Wannian immediately said: "Don't worry, the governor, you can't stand beside Shi, and you will never be ambiguous in war. As long as the governor gives an order, you will go through fire and water, and you will do whatever you want."

As soon as He Baxu heard Shi Wannian's statement, he also said: "What General Shi said is also what I mean. Please ask the governor to order everything."

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "Okay, with the help of two of you, the victory over Wu Ni is just around the corner. However, the two generals have just arrived today, and the boats and horses are exhausted. Let's take a rest for a day. The business will be discussed at the military meeting tomorrow."

"Okay, listen to the governor." The rough Shi Wannian raised his wine bowl and said, "Anyway, it's a pleasure to fight with the governor! Hahahaha!"

Here Fu Jinchuan is entertaining Shi Wannian and He Baxu. On the other side, Jiang Wu, Pang Yun and others brought up Ma Shanbao, Fu Qing, Zhang Chaozong, Liu Liu and Liu Qi, Zheng Fengchun, Wei Shilang, He Jiu Man, Zhang Kui, these former Huben followers also gathered together.

"... Hou Ye looked at the rebel formation, and then turned around and said, 'Jiangnan soldiers and horses are no more than native chickens, tile dogs, and silver-like pewter gun heads, let me break the formation' Then Hou Ye brought four people, Chen Xing, Wu Siduji, Ashulie, and Pugu Huai'an, just five of them, rushed directly to the flank of the rebel army, killed nearly a hundred people, and then turned back calmly. .”

Zhang Chaozong interrupted: "Ah Yun, you've been talking for a long time, but you don't seem to have anything to do with it? You, Jiang Wu, and Ni Qushier Liang Dai, what did you all do? Just Chen Xing and the others followed?"

Pang Yun said angrily: "I don't want to go for such a showy thing? But in the army, except for the four of them who are the guards of the gentleman, how many of us dare to move casually? Don't mind. Chen Xing is so beautiful. A few of them took it, we'll come back... don't mention it."

Zheng Fengchun held the wine bowl and said, "Don't mention anything? Explain clearly what's going on."

Pang Yun sighed and said, "Liang Dai and the others belong to the Jingnan Army now, so they didn't go at all. I, the door god, and Li Da, we just got forty army sticks each when we came back."

Said that Jiang Wu and Li Sikou also looked up at the sky, very speechless.

Zhang Chaozong thought for a while and said, "Your Highness let someone beat you?"

Pang Yun nodded, and then drank a bowl of wine by himself, "Your Highness said that the dental soldiers have to follow the general at any time, and Mr. Lang didn't allow him to suffer with this army stick at that time."

Ma Shanbao said: "Are you still aggrieved? This is Your Highness. I don't want to punish you too hard. If the Patriarch is here, you will be lucky if you don't just kill a few of you. It is estimated that when Dalang comes, you will have to wait." reprimand you guys."

Different from Zheng Fengchun and others, Pang Yun, Jiang Wu, and others are all hereditary descendants of the Fu family, that is, under the Fu family, life and death are all matters of the master's words.

Here, Zhang Chaozong suddenly asked in a low voice: "By the way, this time the Lord came back, did His Highness trouble you?"

When Pang Yun heard this, he immediately regained his spirits: "Can you still find it? Master Hou came back and slept in the study for several days."

"Ahem." Jiang Wu's timely cough made Pang Yun swallow the rest of the words.

Pang Yun, who was sitting with his back to the door, instinctively felt that everyone's expressions were not right, and they all leaked awkward smiles.

"Master Hou, you are here."

But it turned out that it was Fu Jinchuan who had finished the banquet in the Dudu Mansion, and went to the big tent where everyone drank together with Shi Wannian.

"See you tomorrow morning at the school." Fu Jinchuan patted Pang Yun on the shoulder.

Then he drank a few bowls of wine with a group of cronies, said a few words, and left.

Everyone looked at Pang Yun with sympathy and gloating.
On the second day, Fu Jinchuan directly proposed a very bold strategy of using troops at the military meeting of the Governor's Mansion.

Cross the river to surprise the quarry, and then directly attack Jianye!
"Most of the troops in Jianye, Runzhou, and Xuanzhou were taken away by Xue Julin, and the navy is still cooperating in the battle at Poyang Lake. As long as the quarry is taken down, Xue Julin will definitely return to the division to rescue. The siege of Jiangzhou will be resolved by itself!"

Fu Jinchuan never thought of going to Jiangzhou to refuel.

no point.

The Jiangzhou ministries now have many remnants and two deputy marshals. Even if Fu Jinchuan went to Jiangzhou, his qualifications are not as high as those two deputy marshals. The siege of Jiangzhou.

It's better to take a slant of the sword and make a threat to Jianye.

This can instead attract Xue Julin to return to aid, even if only a part of the aid is returned, it can also greatly reduce the pressure on Jiangzhou.

As soon as He Baxu and Shi Wannian heard the plan, they immediately called for battle, while Fu Jinchuan was about to announce his detailed arrangements, when the urgent report sent by Luzhou governor and Luzhou Sima disrupted all the deployments.

Luzhou civil uprising.

　Many readers said it was too deliberate, but in real history, many events are actually full of black swan colors.

　　For example, in the Battle of Feishui, Fu Jian lost his mind so that his subordinates could not find anyone.

　　During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Guangbi sent troops from Hedong to cut off the connection between Fanyang and Luoyang. The counties in Hebei were almost recovered. Who knew Tongguan collapsed?As a result, what could have been done in one or two years took eight years.

　　And this is not sudden, in fact, as mentioned in the previous article, Li Shizhong had already had some signs before going to Jiangzhou.

　　The King Wu in this book is not the good-for-nothing King Ning of Ming Dynasty.He also attracted a lot of people and the big clan in Jiangnan also supported him openly and secretly, and he was wiped out in a few months?
　　As for Zhang Ji, his ability is average, but he wins because of his stability. If he can't beat the rebels, his ability is not good enough.

　　It is normal for a person in their fifties to approach their sixties to have lost many battles in a short period of time, and it is normal for them to die from shortness of breath.

　　Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City after Yiling lost.

　　In addition, the officers and soldiers who have been beaten badly are all the inland garrisons and forbidden troops. Their combat effectiveness is not good, and the coach died of illness. It is normal for them to be defeated.
