Chapter 469 Fame can only be obtained immediately, what a hero and husband
[Add a chapter of 1000 words]

It is human nature to avoid misfortunes and seek blessings; there is no way to gain or misfortune, but people call it upon themselves.

Facing the mighty soldiers and horses of the North Route of the Western Army heading southward, Prime Minister Zhong of Dongting Lake, who was the first to bear the brunt, swiftly withdrew all the soldiers and horses scattered in the military villages in the towns on the bank back to the Dazhai in Baotai Mountain, Chenyang.

There are more than 70 military strongholds in the key points of the surrounding passes, which are as solid as gold.Even if the Western Army's combat power is astonishing, it is impossible to win it in a short time.

Wang Qingjun stationed in Yiyang and Yuanjiang also moved to Chongxiao Town in Chenyang. There is a small peninsula in the middle of the lake, like a long winding snake. It is occupied by Wang Qingjun at this time. — hit the spot.

The first is to take advantage of Wang Qing's army's superiority in land warfare; the second is that the cross-section is narrow and the number of troops used is small; the third is to build defenses layer by layer and block attacks layer by layer.And there are water fortresses on the left and right, so the defense is absolutely foolproof.Even though it is not as strong as Baotai Mountain, it is still a hard little copper bean.

So much so that after the Western Army arrived in Chongxiao Town, they all saw Mazhu.

If so, there was no battle at all on South Jingnan Road, and the well-behaved Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing won the hearts of the Western Army who came from afar.

Zhong Shidao went to Jiangling Mansion first. The Western Army of the North Route had already detached a front army of tens of thousands to the Shishou and Huarong areas. However, Prime Minister Zhong and Wang Qing had trouble, which made him think that there was no need for the army to continue going south. , the rear army has been ordered to attack Xiangyang directly along the Han River to Ezhou [Wuhan].

Zhong Shidao himself met with his brother Zhong Shi in Jiangling Mansion, and the two armies from the north and the south joined forces to discuss this matter in the south of the Yangtze River.

The intention of the imperial court is very clear, no matter what Zhong Shidao thinks about, he has to respect it.Because his generals are already salivating over the wealth of Jiangnan.

Now, the soldiers of the Western Army have been standing in the court for a year.Jiangnan's wealth was obtained by itself, and the imperial court caused tens of thousands of North Road Western Army to fight for more than half a year. The Kansai men who looked exhausted earlier cheered up their spirits in the blink of an eye.

Qianbo is touching.

Stop, cultivating the teacher's way cannot be stopped, he knows this in his heart.Qianbo's allure to the big men in Kansai has already been revealed in the past 70 years.

Zhong Shizhong is eight years younger than his brother Zhong Shidao. Compared with his brother who is nearly 60 years old, he is undoubtedly stronger at the age of [-].

To say that the climate in southern Jingbei and northern Jingbei is somewhat different from that in Kansai. Many soldiers in the army fell ill due to acclimatization, but he never fell ill for a single day from the beginning to the end.He strode to the front of Xingyuan, and greeted his elder brother and generals Liu Yanqing. The generals Ji Jing, Quke, Wang Yu, and Wu Zihou led behind them came forward, greeted each other, and entered the Xingyuan.

This is a courtyard of a wealthy family outside Jiangling City. Before Zhong Shidao and others arrived in Jiangling Mansion, the main family donated it early.

When everyone sat down, a huge map covering Jinghu Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road and Liangzhe Road was hung up high.

The mountains and rivers on the map are all available, and the city passes are marked on it. In this era, this map is worthless.

"Let's see, gentlemen, Liangshan's bandit soldiers and horses have taken over the Wuwei army." Everyone sat down, gossiping less, and opening their mouths is the Liangshan army.On the hanging map, most of Huainan was occupied by the black color representing the Liangshan Army.

Then he held up his pointer and pointed at Chizhou City, "South of the river, east of Poyang Lake, except for Pengze County, this is the only place that is still holding on. This place is a place for our army to rescue quickly, and it must be saved. land."

But these are trivial matters. The real big thing is how to attack Jiangnan. Today, nine out of ten of the Manichaeism, Jiangnan West Road, apart from Jiangzhou, only Raozhou has some participation, plus Chizhou city.

"A strategy along the river is not advisable. The other army has set up a naval division in Jinling, and its troops are expanding rapidly, and its warships are increasing day by day. Liu Menglong's subordinates will follow the army to fight with them, and it is difficult to gain the upper hand." This may be due to Liu Menglong's rich experience in water warfare. , the navy under his command used all regular warships, and with the full support of Cai Dezhang, they relied on Jiangzhou as their base and firmly rejected the Manichaean navy from Jiangdong.

"Now there are only two options before Wang Ping's Western Army. One is to attack Huainan." Zhong Shidao pointed at the Wuwei Army and said, "That is to capture the Wuwei Army from the Jiangbei land and then save Chizhou. Relying on the north and the south, standing Steady footing, and then advancing towards Jinling, the Wuwei Army is less than [-] miles away from Jinling in a straight line."

"In this way, our army can still make horns with the Huainan army retreating to Lujiang. Xiao Yao (Yao Gu) has asked Duanru (Zhong Shidao) for help many times."

Just like this, they will wait for Ruo to match up with Liang Shanjun.

Will the Liangshan army that has captured Luzhou let the land of Huainan go in vain?But if they don't let it go, how can the Western Army take Jinling with peace of mind?
This is a paradox.

"Furthermore, let's take the Yangtze River and destroy the Manichaean rebels by land." There is no need to say more about Zhong Shi's way.How to enter the south of the Yangtze River by land is clearly drawn on the map.

There are only two ways, one is to enter Shezhou from Rao, and you can enter Shezhou along the Changjiang River and Le'an River.Capture Shezhou and then attack Muzhou along the Xin'an River. In this way, Hangzhou can be seen.

The second was to attack Fuzhou to Xinzhou, which was later known as Shangrao, and then all the way east to Quzhou, Wuzhou [Jinhua], Taizhou, and Mingzhou [Ningbo]. It was a large passage that traversed the south of the Yangtze River.

On the satellite geographical maps of later generations, it can be clearly seen that from the southern end of the Poyang Lake Plain to the east, there is a plain and valley line that is obviously lighter in color than the northern and southern mountains and hills, and can extend eastward to the sea.

Even so, it doesn't mean that there are no passes and obstacles, but compared with the mountains and hills on both sides, it is obviously much easier.

At the same time, this army can also communicate with Fujian. If the Western Army can really penetrate the entire passage and go straight to the sea, the land south of Liangzhe Road may return to Zhao Song's rule by then.

The atmosphere in the lobby was tense for a while, and all the generals looked at each other, but no one dared to speak easily.Because today's conclusion is of great importance, not only involving their honor and disgrace, but also the survival of the Western Army.

"Duan Ru, you are the commander of the South Route Army, you are located in the land of Jinghu, very close to the south of the Yangtze River, let's talk about it." Zhong Shidao had no choice but to name Zhong Shizhong.

The latter obviously had thought about this strategy for a long time, and he opened his mouth and said: "In my opinion, our army should enter the Wuwei army and go straight to Jinling along the Yangtze River." , and not as flat as those along the Yangtze River.It is more convenient for the Western Army to gallop.

"So what about the Liangshan army? Will they really come here to fight our army?" Zhong Shizhong had a sneer on his face. "The two thieves, Lu Qian and Fangla, although they are named Weng-in-law, they are actually harboring evil intentions. Seeing our army approaching Jinling, I am afraid that the Lu thieves will make the Liangshan army retreat."

No one is a fool, if the Great Song Dynasty really fails, Lu Qian and Fang La will not be Weng sons-in-law, but enemies of life and death.If the teacher doesn't believe it, the two of them don't know it. It's only because Zhao Song is still there that the two families seem close.Even marriage is used.

"This plan must not be used. Jinling is the capital of the south of the Yangtze River, and Fang La must be heavily defended. It is not easy to attack. And if our army goes straight to Jinling, the army is trapped under the fortified city, and there are Liangshan troops in the north of the river, how can it be done? It's not like dancing on the tip of a knife, like walking on thin ice. If it's just a little bit off, you'll lose everything." Zhao Long was the first to object. The strategy in Zhong Shizhong was too risky.

Even if Liang Shanjun really retreated as he said, could it be possible that they could just give up Tuzhou, Hezhou, and Zhenzhou?

"The Wuwei Army is still two to three hundred miles away from Jinling. With such a long distance, if our army conquers Jinling, it will be too unsafe if we expose all our flanks to the Liangshan bandits."

"This old man thinks it's better to avoid Liangshan bandits and travel to Raozhou and Fuzhou." Zhao Long just felt that the Manichaeism should not be underestimated. "Don't take that Fang La as a joke. Since the chaos in the Central Plains, whether it's the people who invite meritorious deeds in the court, or the local villains, they have added a lot of embellishments to the military situation, and what they say is hard to be true. Cai Yi on Jiangnan East Road is a good example.”

"My generation lived in the west, and I was ignorant and ignorant. It is difficult to understand the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and Qilu. Although the Manichean army is known to be weak, how about its military preparations and how many troops are there? Whether it is worthy of a battle or not depends on the truth. The information? Dare I ask Mr. Duan Ru, did he really know about it?" Zhao Long's words caused Master Zhong to pause in his heart.He really can't guarantee this.

"Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle. If you don't know the enemy's situation today, if you are in a hurry to use your troops, you will win or lose. It is really hard to predict."

"Although our Western Army has a strong reputation, it has never set foot in the south of the Yangtze River. How can we win against the Fangla rebels? If we don't know ourselves and the enemy, how can we deal with the consequences if we make mistakes?"

There was another deep silence, causing the temperature in the venue to drop to its lowest point.

But Zhong Shi is also a famous general, so how can he do things without a head and a tail, he watched the crowd, looked at the faces of the generals, and knew that the opinions between himself and Zhao Long had divided the crowd into two factions, as long as he could "defeat" Zhao Long won this battle.

"Zijian (Zhao Long) is very worried. Our army is very unfamiliar with the south of the Yangtze River, but it is the truth. It is true that I don't know much about the Namanichean army. But soldiers rely on mobility and flexibility. The beauty of application lies in one mind. Adjust measures to the conditions of the time and local conditions. How can we belittle ourselves, limit ourselves to a corner, and rest on our laurels?

I remember that Zhou Shizong led the Central Plains Forbidden Brigade on the Northern Expedition. In the battle of Gaoping, he defeated the Hedong soldiers and occupied the territory as far as Jinyang.Later, they moved to the southwest, swept through Qinlong, and drank from the great river. Although Hou Shu and Southern Tang had favorable geographical conditions, they were invincible and bowed their heads.With the rear defense firmly in place, we marched northward to conquer Khitan in person, reaching our sword's reach. Successful reports came frequently. The Yingzhou and Miao states were settled one after another, and great achievements were made in a matter of seconds.If he had not returned home due to illness, this Yanyun land would have been part of our Chinese territory long ago.

Now our Western Army has assembled the best men and women from all over the world, and they are the pillars of the imperial court, the dry city of the country, east, west, north, south, what can we do?Zhou Shizong can do things, but he knows that my generation can't do it!Although Zi Jianzhi's words are solemn and steady, they are not unavoidably corrupt. "

"This year, our western army cuts Tianhu's arrogance in the north, and destroys Wang Qing's turbulent waves in the south. If we suppress the rebellion in Pingla again, and drive out the Qilu bandit army in the future, the Central Plains will be settled and returned to the rule of our emperor Song. The princes have established merits that are not published, and they can be famous for their bamboo and silk, and their pictures are like smoke."

"When a real man lives in the world, he should work hard to make contributions and establish a career, and he should be the first to use the whip. If you don't take it now, it will be taken by others, and it will be too late to regret it. Don't you know that there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty: Fame and fame can only be obtained from the horse. What a heroic husband."

Master Zhong said these words with high spirits and high spirits, like a hot red sun, melting the worries in the hearts of the generals like the ice and snow left after spring.

Zhong Shidao saw it in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.It's because the thoughts in the teacher's mind are what he thinks.The two had exchanged letters and communicated for a long time.

But he was worried that this strategy would be too risky and would be opposed by others.Therefore, it was asked to be proposed by the planter, and he made a final decision at the appropriate time.

The reason why we did not adopt the land battle strategy was because it would take too long and the soldiers would suffer heavy casualties if they continued to fight in one place. If we want to eliminate the resentment of the soldiers, the place must be fierce.

However, Zhong Shidao believed that if Zhao and Song wanted to completely pacify the world and reorganize the country, the land south of the Yangtze River would not be in trouble for a long time.Because in his eyes, this chaos will never be settled in a year or two.

The imperial court abandoned Qilu for Jiangnan, in fact, it lost Hebei, and was feeding the tiger with meat, so as to keep the tiger safe for the time being, so that the imperial court had time to concentrate its forces and cut off Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan La claims to have an army of 50. Even if most of them are incompetent, there must be countless ruthless bandits among them.When the Western Army conquered Tian Hu's Army and Wang Qing's Army, the losses were not great, but after a long battle, they returned to Jiangnan to fight.

He had also seen the teaching slogans of the Manichaeism.It can even confuse the people and follow its orders.Thinking about it this way, I know that in a battle between the Western Army and the Manichaeism, there must be some good fights.After this battle, the Western Army is afraid that it will lose its vitality, so how can it continue to fight the Qiluliang bandits again?

Is he blind and deaf if he is a teacher? I don't know that there is a bad wind blowing in the Luoyang court, but he is agitating for the officials to move the capital to Jiangling, and the thief's heart is palpable.

This is an undisguised sale of Hebei and Gyeonggi.

Even the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court don't think that after the Western Army has put down Fang La, they still have the power to cut off the Liangshan bandits, right?
Zhong Shidao also thinks so.Therefore, he thought that there should be no chaos in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. If the heads of the killed each other flowed into rivers, it would hurt the vitality of the court.

But there is no one he can tell about such thoughts except the teacher.

……

So by the end of this month, a western army had already traveled down the Yangtze River to Jiujiang.Then one was divided into two, one went north to aid the Lujiang River, the other crossed the mouth of the lake, landed from Pengze, and the army headed east.It was the navy commanded by Liu Menglong who all overwhelmed Ma Dang...

When the news reached Huaixi, there were different opinions.At just the right time, a rumor spread like the wind in Huainan—the Western Army was about to recover Huainan.But what makes people 'believe it' is that the Western Army that reinforced Lujiang quickly captured the Wuwei Army.

In Haozhou City, it was lunch time at this moment, and the yamen in Haozhou City should be the most deserted time.But today, the prefectural office is full of excitement.A group of wealthy local households, represented by An Minyuan from Chihe Town, arrived at the state government office in the morning, blocking Li Dao, the magistrate of Haozhou, to ask for permission.

Li Dao, who is a man, has now mixed up with Yizhou's parents in Haozhou, and this guy's official luck is really not low.When they went to see Tong Guan together, Cheng Wanli, who was the envoy, had only served as the envoy to the right in the newly established Shandong Province.

Under Lu Qian's rule, the head of a province was called the governor, and under it were the left and right political envoys, and then there were the inspectors, who were in charge of the civil affairs, finance, and affairs of the province.Set up the provincial military general manager, in charge of a province's military affairs - the garrison.Set up a promotion officer to take charge of culture and education in a province.

Cheng Wanli had just become the right chief envoy, and Li Dao was already a parent in a major town in Huaixi like Haozhou.This guy has a bright future.

In the second hall, the assistant officials of the original state government office were overwhelmed by the disturbance and ran away long ago.Li Dao sat behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand, writing like flying, giving various instructions, most of which were related to military supplies.

Although the Huainan Army captured Luzhou, Haozhou was still its general logistics base.Countless soldiers' money and food flowed into Chuzhou [Huai'an] from the canal, and then diverted through the Huai River to Haozhou, and then transferred to the front line of Luzhou through Haozhou.He was deaf to the noise around him.
