Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 766 Against the Liao Army
Although there was a little episode, Chu Haoqian's full moon banquet ended satisfactorily.After the banquet, those officials, wealthy businessmen and others left the general's mansion, while the generals of the rebel army followed Chu Ruifeng directly to the study to discuss matters.

Although Chu Ruifeng said it was very relaxed at the banquet, in fact, he still paid more attention to the imperial court's encirclement and suppression this time. It is not a trivial matter for a 20 army to attack back and forth. It must be well planned and arranged in order to have complete confidence in repelling the imperial army.So at this time, Lin Bokang, Qingxiao Qinglei and others were all called together in the study, and everyone discussed what to do next.

After Lin Bokang listened to the news from the capital and various parties, he already had some calculations in his mind. He looked at Chu Ruifeng, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they both saw a kind of tacit understanding in each other's eyes.Lin Bokang nodded to Chu Ruifeng before speaking.

"General, according to my opinion, it is better for the rebel army to divide into two groups to fight against the imperial army separately. The north is led by General Yue Lin, and the tactics are still the same as before. Try to control the front line outside the range of our rebel army, and don't spread it to the outside world. Our people. Combining the terrain, fight an ambush, try our best to deal with the enemy, and drag down the imperial army."

"The army from the north is the emperor specially borrowed soldiers from other khanates on the grassland. When they arrive at our side, they may not be familiar with the terrain here. We can use the advantages of the terrain to hold them back. Our main task this time The target is Jiangnan. General, what I mean is that we don’t need to go head-to-head with Jiangnan’s army, it’s better to attack east and west.”

"Please look, general. We are now in Luzhou. Judging from the current investigation, the main forces of the Liao army are concentrated in Chizhou and Xuanzhou. What I mean is that it is better to take the first step and attack Yingtian directly from the water. There is Jiangnan. The most important city is the capital of the former dynasty. If we occupy it, the Liao army who originally wanted to attack us will definitely go to rescue them. At that time, they will be out of control."

Lin Bokang's proposal was mainly to use part of the troops to drag the Liao army in the north, so that it could not get out of the battle situation.And taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Ruifeng led his army southward, pointing directly at Ying Tianfu.

You know, this Yingtian Mansion has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and it is also the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the capital of Southern Zhao, its importance is self-evident.These days, Lin Bokang once suggested that the forces of the rebel army should expand to the south of the Yangtze River.

After all, speaking of it, Luzhou is not too far away from the capital, and it can be reached in about ten days.For the rebel army, the current power has not yet grown to the point of directly confronting the imperial court.Although the imperial court failed to take advantage of the previous few battles, if the emperor really made up his mind to attack Luzhou with all the power of the whole country, it would actually be very dangerous.

On the contrary, Jiangnan is different. Jiangnan has a vast area, fertile and rich land, and it is farther away from the capital, and there is a big river blocking it.The Liao people were not accustomed to water warfare, and it took a lot of effort to attack the rebels.And if the rebel army can regain Jiangnan, it will definitely be more advantageous than it is now.

Chu Ruifeng was also very moved by Lin Bokang's proposal. In fact, he had already planned it.Although Chu Ruifeng didn't do much in the past year, secretly he was actively preparing all kinds of warships and secretly training a navy for the purpose of crossing the river and recovering Jiangnan.

Chu Ruifeng's original plan was to pass this year safely.After the beginning of spring, just as all the warships were ready, they set out to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and captured various cities, making the south of the Yangtze River the place under the jurisdiction of the rebel army.As long as this goal is achieved, the rebel army will be able to truly fight against the imperial court across the river, and just wait for the right time to send their troops northward and directly point to the capital.

However, the Emperor Daliao obviously didn't want to give Chu Ruifeng a chance to recuperate and strengthen his strength, so he sent troops to encircle and suppress Chu Ruifeng at this time, and Chu Ruifeng's plan could only be changed accordingly. "Well, Mr. Lin's idea coincides with Chu's. It's just that our navy and warships are still a little lacking. If we rashly cross the river and capture Yingtian at this moment, we may be powerless." Chu Ruifeng worried The thing is here.

Lin Bokang laughed when he heard the words, "Did the general forget the Xiao family? We and the Xiao family are in-laws now. Shouldn't such a good thing be called the Xiao family? Experts, if we team up with Peng Ze and Xiao's family, are we still worried about not having enough manpower?"

When Lin Bokang said this, Chu Ruifeng's eyes lit up, he really ignored the Xiao family.That's right, the Xiao family started out as water bandits, and now they have [-] to [-] troops. As long as the Xiao family is willing to help, this matter will really be all right. "Okay, then I'll send someone to send a letter to Peng Ze immediately."

In this way, the matter is basically discussed, and the next step is to dispatch troops.Qingxiao Qingdian led [-] rebels to fight against the imperial army from the north, Chu Ruifeng led [-] soldiers to Wuwei, pretending to be actively preparing for the war, and confused the Chizhou and Xuanzhou enemy troops on the opposite side, but secretly sent troops to Chuzhou, cross the river and go straight to Yingtian.

As for the Xiao family, if they are willing to help, they only need to contain the Liao army in Chizhou, and Chu Ruifeng can handle the remaining troops in Xuanzhou.If the Xiao family refuses to make a move, it doesn't matter, the worst thing is to spend a little more effort, and it's not that there is no way.

The plan is set, and the next step is to mobilize troops.Although Chu Ruifeng was very reluctant to part with Qiaoyun and the child, he still had to go on an expedition.For these, Qiaoyun has long been psychologically prepared and will not stop them.So, the next day, Chu Ruifeng led the defenders of Luzhou to march all the way to Wuwei and other places to join the soldiers from other cities.

On the other side, Qingxiao and Qingdian were ordered to control the rebels in Huainan, Anfeng and other places. Before the imperial army arrived, they took the initiative to attack and attacked Guide Mansion on the north of Anfeng Road and several cities on Huai'an Road in the northeast.Qingxiao and Qingdian, one is quite strategic and the other is unparalleled in bravery. With the combination of their swords and the support of thunder and artillery, it is easy to win a few cities.

Before the imperial army arrived, several cities were lost, which was undoubtedly a big blow to the Daliao court.The commander of the Liao Army had also heard about Chu Ruifeng's deeds, but he hesitated at the moment, not daring to attack the rebels, for fear of being caught in an ambush.

In this way, the battle situation in the north was directly deadlocked, and the imperial army did not dare to act rashly.And Qing Xiao and the others were ordered to hold back the [-] troops to prevent them from going to rescue elsewhere, so Qing Xiao was not in a hurry, and only led people around to capture some small cities and try their best to expand the territory.Instead of confronting the imperial army head-on, they traveled east and west, which made the Liao army confused and did not understand what the rebel army was doing.
