Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 59: father-daughter argument

After the defeat in the Kuaiji War, Dongyang and Fuyang were the last two points of the Zhejiang-Fujian army in eastern Zhejiang.

With Fuyang in hand, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army has always maintained a threat to core areas such as Jiangning and Fuxian County around Taihu Lake, but for the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, it does not gain more living space because of this. Abandoning Fuyang, for the Zhejiang-Fujian army, was only conscious of giving up the situation of threatening Jiangning from the east, and the strategy of the east was completely changed from offense to defense. The rear wing of the army is not a big threat.

The meaning of Dongyang County is different.

If we do not give up Dongyang County, we will first be able to contain Huaidong's tens of thousands of troops in eastern Zhejiang on the defensive line.

The luxury family is most afraid of Huaidong. If Huaidong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang are activated, the coastal area of ​​eastern Fujian will be more threatened.

Secondly, Dongyang County is the eastern gateway to Guyuan in central Zhejiang.

The Valley of Central Zhejiang is the last grain-producing area occupied by the luxury family in Zhejiang County, and its significance is not trivial. Moreover, the Valley in Central Zhejiang was originally a major passage through eastern Zhejiang and western Zhejiang. From Dongyang County, through Quzhou, Shangrao, and then westward along Xinjiang, there are relatively easy terrains, which can directly enter Jiangxi. The back road of the westward army.

From Quzhou to the south, you can reach Xianxia Ridge, which is the key point where Fujian and Zhejiang are connected; from Xinzhou to the south is Fuzhou, and Shanguan in the south of Fuzhou is the connection between Fujian and Jiangxi. The place will be taken away by Huaidong, and the luxury family will be cut off in the middle.

In this sense, Dongyang County is a must for the luxury family. At least until the luxury family has a firm foothold in Ganzhou, Yuzhang and other places, Dongyang County must not be lost.

At the beginning of the Shejia's westward advance, Huaidong gathered troops and forcibly sent troops from Shengzhou to attack Dongyang County, which would directly destroy the Shejia's westward strategy.

Therefore, Song Jia said that Huaidong meant to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and it was not groundless and baseless.

"Before Shewenzhuang resolutely moved west, how could it not have thought through the issue of Dongyang?" Song Fu asked, "Huaidong drives tigers and swallows wolves, so you won't be afraid of raising tigers?"

Song Bo helped his sister up from the icy brick floor, thinking to himself: Huaidong has the intention of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves, why didn't the luxury family use Huaidong's thoughts in turn. Even if Huaidong decides to attack Dongyang County from the very beginning, there is little chance of winning; even if it destroys Shejia's westward strategy, when Huaidong's troops on the southern front are crippled, Shejia can still regain the initiative on the east front. .

From this point of view, Dongyang County cannot be considered a weakness of the luxury family. At least for now, the luxury family's westward strategy has been successful.

She Feixiong has already occupied Yuzhang, and most of the troops and horses are advancing southward along both sides of the Ganjiang River. It will be a matter of time to conquer the forces in Yiyang (now Yichun), Ganzhou and other places. When you come down, you can go west to Jingxiang, but you can go north to Kejiangzhou, and attack Jiangning from a height.

Song Jia walked to the corner pavilion, sat down on the cold stone bench, and said, "If you give the Shejia three to five years, there is a real risk of raising tigers, but where will the Shejia manage Jiangxi for three to five years? ? Jiangning intends to use Yue Lengqiu to go to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle. Now the luxury family is completely on the defensive in the east, so Yue Lengqiu can send troops from the Hanghu Army and the Huinan Army to the west to strengthen Jiangzhou. Leng Qiu has more than 60,000 troops in Jiangzhou, is there a possibility for the luxury family to operate Jiangxi?"

Song Fu looked at his daughter's face with interest and asked, "Will Huaidong let Yue Lengqiu sit in Jiangzhou?"

Yue Lengqiu had served as the governor of Dongmin, and Song Fu knew Yue Lengqiu quite well.

Yue Lengqiu was forced to resign due to Liu Yefei's surrender to the enemy, and he went to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle. The meaning of going alone is completely different from that of leading soldiers. Song Fu did not expect that Huaidong would condone Yue Lengqiu to lead the troops to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle. , once Yue Lengqiu surrenders the local snake in Jiangzhou, it must be another prince.

"The luxury family is a tiger, can't let Yue Lengqiu go to Jiangzhou to be a toothless tiger?" Song Jia said.

Song Fu also sat down, knocking on the stone table with his fingers, without saying a word for a long time.

Song Bo was secretly shocked: My sister revealed that it should be the core strategy of Huaidong. If the luxury family moves westward, there is indeed a worry of raising tigers. Taking root in the south is also a pattern of two tigers fighting each other.

Looking at the big picture, Dong Yuan was also transferred from Hangzhou to Huaixi in the middle of the year to take control of the military power. Now the Changhuai Army has withdrawn into Huaixi for rectification, which has made the Huaixi military prosperous for a while. It seems that the power of Dong Yuan and Yue Lengqiu has regained strength, which is unfavorable to Huaidong, but in fact, the entire eastern front will form a situation where the Huaidong family dominates; the forces that can pose a threat to Huaidong are concentrated in The entanglement of the western front made the situation facing Huaidong more clear-this kind of strategy in the overall situation has to be said to be very clever.

"Huaidong can win a big victory in Xuzhou and take Xuzhou City so easily, which is really surprising," Song Fu asked. "But looking at Beiyan's military deployment in Shandong, it has stabilized Shandong and Henan and turned to other ways. Signs of going south—for example, Beiyan seizes the pass from Yulin south, how will Huaidong deal with it?”

If the east road can go through, Yan Hu soldiers and horses take the east road south and take Jiangning directly, and the speed is the fastest. At this time, the east road is blocked, and the two wings of the middle road are easily threatened. Unless Yan Hu is satisfied with this, it is an inevitable choice to take the west front and pursue the strategy of "taking Guanzhong first, then Jingxiang".

Yulin is one of the nine towns, and to the north are the tribes of Yanxi.

Guanzhong faces the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack with high mountains and rivers. However, facing the north and northwest, there are not so many dangerous places to defend. The Yanhu cavalry can go south from the relatively flat Loess Plateau. It was easy for the Cao family to guard Tongguan, but it was extremely difficult to keep Huma from the north.

Once Guanzhong was lost, Yanhu did not need to attack the two rivers, he could go out of Wuguan to capture Jingxiang, and he could take full advantage of Jianghuai's geographical advantage.

Today, the Xu Si line of defense in Huaidong relies most heavily on the danger of the Huai River. As long as you ensure that the water systems in Huaisi and other places are in control, you don't have to worry about Yan Hu's daring to surround Xuzhou with heavy troops. And once Jingxiang and other places in the upper reaches of Jianghuai are captured by Yanhu, Jiangning's defense center will only depend on the Yangtze River, and the area between Jianghuai and Huaihe River will become a buffer zone for war - even if Yanhu soldiers and horses are not in a hurry to cross the south of the Yangtze River It can also move eastward along the north bank of the Yangtze River or the south bank of the Huaihe River, and the flanks of the core area of ​​Huaidong will be directly exposed to the blows of the Yanhu soldiers and horses.

Song Jia's intention to return to Quanzhou this time is self-evident, but if the general situation in the world is not in Huaidong, how could the Song family make a hasty choice at this time?

Song Jia said: "When all the main forces of the Huaidong Water Camp are moved to the northern front, how many troops can Yan Hu send to the west? It is not that the Cao family is not capable of fighting, even if Yan Hu successfully captures Guanzhong, but he wants to use military force When Guan seized Jingxiang, thousands of warships and hundreds of thousands of elites from Huaidong bypassed Shandong and landed directly from Yanji and Liangliao. How should Yanhu deal with it? Even though everything is going well in Jiangxi, the She family is still at the end of the game. At this time, Huaidong has dispatched 20,000 troops to attack Xiapu from both the land and the sea, what choice will the She family make?"

Xiapu is the northern gateway of Jin'an Prefecture. Once Xiapu falls, the core area of ​​Jin'an Prefecture will be threatened. In addition to sea routes, Huaidong can indeed attack Xiapu by land from Pingyang in southern Zhejiang.

Song Fu shook his head and sighed: "The biggest failure of Shewenzhuang may be that the strategy of 'abandoning the land and going to the sea' has not been carried out to the end..."

Song Bo was also silent in his heart, just like Lin Bie's prestige in Huaidong was unmatched, Bamin children also have a natural closeness and admiration for Shewenzhuang, even if there is no complicated entanglement of interests, no one wants to see it. Shewenzhuang will lose.

The biggest significance of the Shejia winning Gannan is that even if Mindong completely crippled Huaidong, it can still survive and struggle to survive - but the foundation of the Shejia is always under the direct threat of Huaidong. , In addition to the extravagant family can resolutely abandon the coastal areas of eastern Fujian. But as my sister said before, there is no three to five years to manage Gannan, and the luxury family abandons the coastal area of ​​eastern Fujian at this time, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Yan Hu was the strongest at this time, but just like the She family, he had the most fatal weakness, and the vital points of the testicles and pills were exposed under Huaidong's eyes and nose.

Yanhu made his fortune in eastern Liaoning, and after going south, he must base his business on Yanji.

With the traditional pattern, as long as Yanhu defends Shandong, Yanji and Liangliao are safe insiders. Huaidong developed a powerful naval force, completely destroying the traditional war pattern. Huaidong warships can carry a large number of elites into the Bohai Bay, land on the coasts of Yanji and Liangliao, and directly attack Yanhu's heart~www.readwn.com~ In the situation where the heart is not free from the threat, how could Yanhu be possible? Press the main force on the Western Front?

As a human being, there will probably be a sense of threat that the testicles/balls are always held in the hands of others, right?

"Zhejiang and Fujian have operated Yizhou, and they have established a county in 60 years to multiply more than 10,000 households," Song Jia continued, "My daughter stayed in Yizhou for a few days this time, and Yizhou has registered more than 20,000 households today. In addition to the original county, four new villages have been established in the southwest. Now there are more than 20,000 households and more than 30,000 laborers, and the newly reclaimed land reaches 200,000 mu. Next, Yizhou intends to large-scale will be born. Registered and registered..."

After the war in eastern Zhejiang, the Zhejiang-Fujian army was forced to abandon the East China Sea across the board. When the Huaidong water camp had no time to be separated, it first destroyed Yizhou County and forcibly relocated the islanders, although about 20,000 islanders—calculated carefully, In less than two years, Huaidong moved nearly 100,000 people to Yizhou Island. The speed was astounding.

Of course, in addition to migrants, Yizhou Island also has a large number of aborigines, that is, Shengyi and Shengfan, who live on the island in the form of tribal settlements.

At that time, the extravagant family set up a county in Yizhou with more than 20,000 households. In addition to relocating people, a considerable part of them were forced to become naturalized. It is roughly estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of Shengfans living on the entire Yizhou Island.

Compared with the strange use of troops, Huaidong's political power is even more impressive.

Song Jia came to Quanzhou at this time, and the biggest role was to tell the truth about Huaidong, so that the Song family would not see the situation wrong and be on the wrong team.

Huaidong is now making great efforts to manage Yizhou, and it is destined that the luxury family will never be able to regain its disadvantage on the eastern front.

Even if Huaidong did not continue to increase its troops to the south, with the further development of Yizhou Island, the pressure felt on the coast of eastern Fujian would only increase. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
