Lord of the House

In the severe cold of winter, the She family sent troops to the west and invaded Yuzhang and Ganzhou.

At that time, the Changhuai Army retreated south to fill Huaixi, and the original 30,000 soldiers and horses in Huaixi were all piled up north of the Huai River.

At that time, when Yanhu's 100,000 soldiers and horses were piled up in Shouzhang and Dongping, Jiang Ning was even more worried that Liang's family would change, and the troops on the northern front did not dare to act rashly. The troops and horses in Jiangzhou and Luzhou also moved north as far as possible, and Yuzhang, Ganzhou and other prefectures in southern Jiangxi had less than 30,000 troops in defense.

From the west of Zhejiang to the east of Jiangxi, although the hills are vertical and horizontal, only river valleys and streams can transport troops, but it is located on the inner line, and the straight line is short. Even if it takes troops from Wuyuan and Shangrao to move westward, it will take more than ten days for the army to gather and march on the mountain road of three or four hundred miles, but it will take the outside line to enter the Yangtze River from the Hanghu area, through Taihu Lake, and go upstream to Jiangzhou. Poyang Lake is thousands of miles away.

The Hanghu Army recaptured Fuyang before mid-December, and the defensive situation has been greatly improved. As long as the two openings from Tonglu to Fuyang and Chun'an to Linshui are blocked, the extravagant troops and horses can be blocked in the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River. Eastward.

The Hanghu Army has 60,000 troops, at least half of it can be used to support the war in Jiangxi.

The Sanwanhang Lake Army marched westward by water, entered Poyang Lake, and took Yuzhang in the southwest of Poyang Lake as its destination. From the gathering of ships to the supply along the way, it would take at least a month, which already reflects the advantages of waterway transportation.

It is said that there is enough time. There are still more than 30,000 troops in Ganzhou. It is always possible to stick to key cities such as Yuzhang, Ganzhou, and Yichun. In addition to the Hanghu Army, there are also 20,000 to 30,000 reinforcements in Jiangzhou, Luzhou and other places that can be urgently transferred to Jiangxi for support.

As long as Yuzhang, Yichun, Ganzhou and other key cities are not lost, all the other prefectures and counties in southern Jiangxi will be occupied by the She family.

The most fatal problem at this time is that Jiang Ning lacks prestige, lacks effective restrictions on local areas, and does not have the power to prohibit the recruitment of troops and horses in various places.

First of all, the luxury family completely abandoned Fuyang in mid-December, but there are still a considerable number of soldiers and horses in Tonglu, the upper reaches of Fuyang. In the Hanghu area, including Meng Yishan and others who ruled by the army of the former Hanghu army, they are worried that the luxury family will play The strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west is likely to return the carbine, and they do not want the Hanghu army to be transferred to support Jiangxi.

The prefectures and counties around the Taihu Lake are the foundation of the Wu Party's forces. The Wu Party forces headed by Chen Xiyan have serious concerns about the safety of the prefectures and counties around the Taihu Lake.

When the Fang family rebelled and offered Fangjiabu, the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels seized Linshui without any effort. Although Dong Yuan had the determination to defend Fuyang at the beginning, but the entire line of defense was leaked due to the fall of Linshui. After the two sides filled in 300,000 to 40,000 lives in Fuyang, Dong Yuan was finally forced to abandon Fuyang and almost lost his half-life fame. Destroyed.

The fall of Fuyang not only made Hanghu, one of the richest in the world, half disabled, but also made Jiangning directly threatened by the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels.

If the Huaidong Army had not landed in eastern Zhejiang and captured Mingzhou Prefecture in time, crippling the waists and eyes of the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels, making the successors weak, or even if Jiangning barely held, the prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake would have been completely disabled-now Nearly half of Jiangning's finances come from the prefectures and counties around the Taihu Lake. The prefectures and counties surrounding Taihu Lake are not only the foundation of the Wu Party's power, but also the foundation of the Jiangning regime.

The Wu Party forces, led by Chen Xiyan, acted conservatively and cautiously. Before eliminating the possibility of Zhejiang and Fujian rebels returning their carbine, it was not unimaginable to hinder the westward advance of the Hanghu Army to Jiangxi.

Chen Xiyan and others were alarming, and Emperor Yongxing couldn't make up his mind. In the end, he just ordered the Hanghu Army and the Huinan Army to attack Tonglu and Chun'an, and try to contain as many Zhejiang and Fujian rebels as possible on the eastern front.

The hills and mountains of Zhejiang and Fujian are vertical and horizontal, and it is difficult to attack Fuyang and Linshui from Tonglu and Chun'an, and it is even more difficult to attack Tonglu and Chun'an from Fuyang and Linshui Dingshui against the mountains.

Secondly, the order of Jiangning's first Ganzhou system and envoy Si Jian to clear the field and stick to the city was not well implemented.

During the period of Li Zhuo's expedition to East Fujian, he mainly drew troops from Jiangxi to collect food. The ten-year war made Jiangxi poor and poor. Since then, there have been famines and disasters year after year, and the Poyang Lake is even more roaming and slaughtering.

When facing a strong enemy, the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field is usually effective, but this strategy is a double-edged sword that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred, and not everyone can play it.

It is good to stick to the strong walls of the strong city, but except for a few strong cities, all counties and vast countryside will be brutally devastated, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands and millions of refugees will inevitably be produced in the coming year.

At the beginning, Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan were guarding Qingzhou, and it was not that they did not understand the dangers of outside defense, but they did not have the courage and confidence to turn the hundreds of miles north of Linzi City into ruins.

Now Huaidong is on the outskirts of Xuzhou, and all the people from the north of Xuzhou to Linzhou with a depth of almost 300 li have all retreated south, the houses and the city have been destroyed, and no income is given to Yanhu. , in the final analysis, the entire Huaidong is behind this strategy.

Pan Qifeng had the ambition to cede land as a vassal of Ganzhou's system. After Ganzhou was disabled, if he counted on Jiangning to support money and grain to restore production and provide disaster relief, he would naturally obey Jiangning.

For Pan Qifeng, in order to protect the fundamentals and the power of one of the princes, it is necessary to defend the enemy outside the country.

At the beginning, the luxury family had not given up on Fuyang, and deployed Fuyang troops and horses to move westward. Their forward troops and horses were limited, and they moved westward from Wujiang and Xinjiang. Although Jiang Ning strictly ordered Pan Qifeng to stand guard and wait for help, but Pan Qifeng left Jiang Ning's order behind and decided to concentrate his forces and defeat them individually, so as to keep the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels out of the country.

Pan Qifeng led the main force of the Ganzhou army to advance eastward from Yichun and Yuzhang across the Ganjiang River.

Between Yujiang and Huangxi in the western part of Xinzhou, facing the more than 20,000 troops of Pan Qifeng who lured the enemy into the depths, She Feixiong only led more than 10,000 eight Fujian elites to fight. After two days of **** battle, Pan Qifeng's army was defeated.

After the war, Pan Qifeng led the remnants to retreat to Yujiang. At that time, more than 10,000 elites under She Feixiong were also crippled, but She Feixiong used 3,000 remnants to nail Pan Qifeng to Yujiang, unable to advance or retreat, making the situation in the entire southern Jiangxi. All collapsed and plunged into chaos.

Subsequently, the main force of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army continued to advance westward. By the end of December, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army had reached the east bank of the Ganjiang River as many as 60,000 people. She Feixiong led his troops to bypass the Yujiang River, led his troops to cross the Ganjiang River, and the troops and horses set out from Wuyuan would meet at the foot of Yuzhang City in late December.

The Jiangzhou reinforcements saw that the main force of Pan Qifeng's troops was disabled, and they fought a hasty battle in the north of Yuzhang City, losing more than a thousand soldiers and horses, so they hurriedly retreated north and went to Jiangzhou.

At that time, there were less than 3,000 defenders in Yuzhang, and there were more than 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the city of Yuzhang, and they were divided into tens of thousands. From both sides of the Ganjiang River, they headed southward to attack Yichun and Ganzhou, the old nest of Poqifeng. …

****************

By the end of December, when the snow by Shigou Lake did not melt, Song Jia had quietly moved south, and Su Meilai took up the position of Neidianshi to help Lin Fu deal with various letters.

"The so-called 'death and then life' is also..." After reading the battle report from Jiangxi, Lin Fu couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

The luxury family abandoned Fuyang and moved westward. It was a slanted sword and a dangerous strategy.

She Feixiong led more than 10,000 elites to advance westward from Shangrao, and lured Pan Qifeng to lead the main force of the Ganzhou army to advance eastward.

One is to use risks strategically, and the other is to use risks tactically.

"With these two steps, if Jiang Ning can't send troops from Jiangzhou to relieve the siege of Yuzhang, the situation of the luxury family on the western front will be revitalized." Liu Miaozhen said.

Liu Miaozhen had already led his troops to withdraw from Linzhou.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that women go on expeditions to serve as generals on behalf of their fathers and brothers, but it is rare for women to serve as officials. Lin Fu recommended Liu Miaozhen to go out to Xuzhou, causing an uproar in Jiangning.

After several times of bargaining, Jiangning finally agreed that Liu Miaozhen would serve as the deputy envoy of Xuzhou's system and guard Xuzhou.

In recent months, Lin Fu has been hiding in the village by the Shigou Lake and ignored the world. Liu Miaozhen, Li Wei, the prefect of Xuzhou, Ye Junan, the long history, and others have invited them to the village and changed into Jinhong women's clothes. Liu Miaozhen studied martial arts when she was young, grew up in a fishing village, and then moved to the world with her brother and uncle. .

Lin Bie ordered people to cut the lake ice and sat in a small pavilion by the lake, enjoying fishing with Li Wei and Ye Junan, while Liu Miaozhen sat aside to talk about state affairs.

"In the current situation, let's hold on to Jiangzhou." Ye Junan said with emotion.

Jiangzhou (present-day Jiujiang), the danger of the rivers and lakes, is located at the mouth of the lake where Poyang Lake enters the Yangtze River. It is the northern gateway of Jiangxi and the western gateway of Jiangning. Keeping Jiangzhou, let alone the situation in Jiangxi will collapse completely~www.readwn.com~ Now I am afraid that the extravagant family encircling Yuzhang is a strategy to help out.

Fifty-eight thousand soldiers died in Fujian, and Huaidong did not dare to peep. Where did Jiangning send elite soldiers and strong generals to fight to the death with the westward main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels under the city of Yuzhang? In the current situation, it is still necessary to defend Jiangzhou first, and wait for the deployment of troops and horses on the north and south fronts to be straightened out before we can solve the problems in Jiangxi.

"Jiangning has a voice saying that he wants to invite Yue Lengqiu to go out to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle, what do you think?" Li Wei asked.

"Yue Lengqiu doesn't have any soldiers and horses in his hands, so going to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle would be taken seriously," Lin Fu said. "I'm more in favor of transferring 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers from Huinan and Hanghu to Jiangzhou with Yue Lengqiu..."

"Wouldn't it be possible to raise tigers?" Ye Junan asked worriedly.

Yue Lengqiu used to be interested in the phase, so he was able to divide the military power between Deng Yu and Tao Chun, and he did not lead the troops directly. He was implicated by Liu Yefei and was forced to resign, presumably his mood would change. If he was given another chance to directly control the military, he would most likely not let it go.

Li Wei remained silent. Although he agreed with Chen Zhu as his son-in-law and regarded Huaidong as his mainstay, it was difficult for him to completely change the traditional idea of ​​loyalty to the monarch at once.

Lin Fu said: "It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Yue Lengqiu knows the military affairs, but he has no soldiers and horses to use, and it is difficult to tame the Jiangzhou forces and resist the offensive of the luxury family. As for raising tigers, Dong Yuan is not a fierce tiger. Are you afraid that there will be more Yue Lengqiu? If you think about it, it is recommended to send troops and horses from Huinan and Hanghu to help Jiangzhou with Yue Lengqiu..."

Although this move has the possibility of making Yue Lengqiu a big player in Jiangzhou, the deployment of troops from Hanghu and Huinan will further strengthen Huaidong's strong position on the eastern front.

At this time, a fast horse came to Huzhuang, but it was an emergency military situation from the northern front: Liang Xi killed the general Tu An, and the Dongping soldiers surrendered! My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
