Lord of the House

"With the current situation, we need to concentrate our limited troops on the Miaoshan Islands at the mouth of the Bohai Sea. There are not many troops extending deep into the Bohai Bay. Jinwei Island should also be temporarily abandoned!" Lin Fu called everyone to Xingyuan to discuss matters. , to discuss the latest situation of the Miaoshan war in early February.

During the Miaoshan War, Na Hexiongqi used a fishing boat to transport troops and horses from the Dengzhou River Bay to raid the South Island, which is closest to Dengzhou City, in the south of the Miaoshan Islands. It is very close to the coast from Nandao. After the Dengzhou soldiers went to sea, although Yang Yihang responded quickly and sent warships from Nanhuangcheng Island, the main business of Miaoshan, the Dengzhou soldiers rushed to the beach before the Huaidong warships arrived. on the South Island. Although the Huaidong warship subsequently sank the more than 40 fishing boats that organized the Dengzhou soldiers to land, it also caused about 300 guards in the South Island to be wiped out, the facilities on the island were destroyed, and the Dengzhou soldiers who boarded the South Island took advantage of the night. Evacuate with fishing boat.

Na Hexiongqi was one of the few veterans in Yanhu who had a deep understanding of Huaidong and should not be taken lightly.

Jinwei Island is closer to the land. After the Miaoshan War, Yang Yihang sent more troops to Jinwei Island to prevent Yejibai Mountain in Jinhai from following Dengzhou, but Jinwei Island was finally too far from the main business of Miaoshan. , hanging deep in the depths of the Bohai Bay, in a dangerous situation.

"Jinwei Island is the adult's Yongye food town. It has been in business for several years. It has built a dock along the island and invested a lot of manpower and material resources. It is a pity to give up at this time." He came to Xuzhou from Miaoshan to meet Lin Fu. , Hu Yuer, who reported the details of the Miaoshan battle in detail, felt that it was a pity to abandon Jinwei Island at this time. "At this time, there are two elite defense battalions, and the island's fortress is also strong. Even if the Jinhai enemy army wants to follow Dengzhou, it will not pay three to five times. The price cannot be..."

Hu Yuer was originally a general of the Dengzhou navy, and Liu Yefei surrendered and was killed. The Dengzhou navy and most of the Dengzhou defenders were lured to Pingdu by Chen Zhihu's deceitful plan, and then surrendered to the enemy in Pingdu, and Hu Yuer led the way to stay behind. The remnants of Swordfish Village were cast to Huaidong.

After Huaidong, Hu Yuer served as the commander of the Miaoshan and Jinwei ministries to join the army. Together with Chen Enze, he assisted Yang Yihang and occupied the islands in the Bohai Bay. He was responsible for harassing Denglai, Hejian, Jixi, and the coastal areas of Liangliao. Hu Yuer also remained in the Bohai Bay. There was no chance to go south to meet Lin Fu and the generals of Huaidong on the island on the island. This time, I also took the opportunity to go to Xuzhou to meet Lin Fu...

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity, the Miaoshan and Jinwei tribes can harass the coast of the Bohai Bay, relying on the fleet's ability to travel under various conditions, not relying on one or two islands occupied near the coast; even in the south After winning the Yizhou Island, the first water battalion was only able to be stationed on the near side of Fujian, but unfortunately there is no large island comparable to Yizhou Island around the mouth of the Bohai Sea that can be used as the main location for the garrison." Lin Bie shook his head and said, "Since the disadvantages that have not been considered before have been revealed, we must make up our minds to correct them, and we should not worry about gains and losses, indecision..."

"Not only Jinwei Island, but even the issue of evacuation from Miaoshan must be considered," Gao Zongting rubbed his chin and thought, "At least before the fall, we must ensure that the largest number of troops can be assembled on the southern front, and that the southern front will not be used. Worried about the problems on the northern line..."

Lin Fu won't wait for the luxury family to gain a firm foothold in Jiangxi before starting. The Song family's attitude is clear, or the time is ripe to attack Dongyang County or attack Jin'an from the north and south of Pingyang, Hengyang and the Song family.

Considering that the East China Sea will enter the season of frequent storms after May, and the war is launched on the southern front before May, there is not much time to prepare for battle, so it can only be delayed until after the fall.

The war on the southern front may be protracted, so we must first adjust the deployment of the Xusi defense line. First, we must ensure the stability of the Xusi defense line. Second, we must mobilize as many troops as possible from the northern front to the south to ensure the smooth implementation of the southern front. .

A warship that has the ability to sail in the open sea and can withstand strong storms has extremely high requirements on the manufacturing process. Yanhu does not have this ability at all, and it is far from being able to compete with Huaidong in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea. The island is too close to the land of Dengzhou, and the farthest island is only more than 120 miles away. Even if Hexiongqi's newly built ships in Dengzhou are not enough to compete with Huaidong Shuiying in the East China Sea, it is not difficult to concentrate a large number of troops and horses on the Miaoshan Islands for island warfare.

Dengzhou has built a large number of sea ships in a short period of time, which can be used for short-range troop transportation.

Those wood that have not undergone dehydration treatment, the sea boats built will be deformed after being immersed in water for a long time, but there will be no major problems in a short time.

Lin Fu decided to launch a large-scale attack on the She family on the southern front in the autumn. At that time, the main force of the Jinghai battalion may be unable to escape because of the southern front. If He Xiongqi used troops against Miaoshan at that time, it would be impossible for Huaidong to start and end. Can't care for each other.

Furthermore, the existence of Miaoshan and Jinwei tribes was able to contain a certain amount of Yanhu troops and horses along the coast of Bohai Bay when the Xusi defense line was not stable last year, so as to weaken Yanhu's offensive against Xusi.

If Chen Hansan successfully dedicates Xuzhou to Yanhu, Lin Fu will even deploy more troops in Miaoshan and Jinwei to relieve the military pressure on the front of the Huaisi line of defense.

However, Xuzhou has entered the hands of Huaidong, and the Xu Si defense line has become complete. Whether it is necessary for the Miaoshan and Jinwei ministries to exist, the initiative lies in Huaidong.

Strengthening the deployment of troops on Miaoshan, Jinwei and other islands, and constraining more troops from Yanhu to the coast of the Bohai Bay, in fact, while reducing the frontal military pressure on the Xusi defense line, it also helps Huaixi Dongyuan, Hezhong Liang Chengyi, Nanyang Liang Chengchong and even Cao Yiqu in Guanzhong relieves military pressure.

From the perspective of driving tigers and swallowing wolves, Huaidong should take the initiative to abandon Jinwei Island and Miaoshan Islands at this time, so that Yanhu can draw more troops from the coast of Bohai Bay to use troops on the western front...

Lin Bie frowned for a moment and said, "At least before the fall, Yanhu can't be prepared to use troops on the western front. First give up Jinwei Island, and even if you want to give up the Miaoshan Islands, you have to wait until after summer-- Before the fall, Hexiong Qi can't pose too much threat to Miaoshan in Dengzhou!"

The main business of Miaoshan is more than 100 miles away from the land of Dengzhou. The defenders of Jinwei Island will be withdrawn, and there will be 4,000 troops guarding the Miaoshan Islands. In a short time, they will not be afraid that Hexiongqi will attack the main force of Miaoshan. camp.

Ye Junan said: "Before September, Dong Yuan and Liang Chengyi were quite comfortable..."

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

Although Huaixi is a defense area that stands side by side with Huaidong, with Guoyang as the outer defense line, the enemy surface is narrow. In addition, Guoyang is in the southwest of Xuzhou and Huaiyang. When Xuzhou protrudes from the terrain, it forms a protruding part for the Yan soldiers in Henan and Luxi. In fact, as Xuzhou's flank, Guoyang is under very low military pressure.

The hinterland of Huaixi, such as Haozhou and Sizhou, are located in the due south of Huaiyang and Xuzhou in terms of geographical location, and are actually on the inner side of the Xusi line of defense.

In this situation, Dong Yuan served as the commander of the Huaixi Imperial Army, including the Huai Army, Xiao Kuian's Guoyang Army, Dongyang and Luzhou's army, all under his control, and the total number of troops and horses under his command exceeded 100,000. However, there were only more than 30,000 troops stationed on the outer defense line of Guoyang. Ye Junan said that he lived comfortably, but it was the truth.

Shouzhou in February is also an early spring with a cold spring.

Compared with Xuzhou City, Shouzhou is even more dilapidated.

Luzhou is relatively on the inside, and Lin Tingli will not let Dong Yuan nest in Dongyang, and Haozhou will be nested in Huaiyang and Xuzhou. The terrain is far less important than Shouzhou, so Dong Yuan can only set up the line in the ruined city of Shouzhou. .

Not only did Dong Yuan set up the remnant city in Shouzhou, but the palace of the King of Chu also moved to Shouzhou a few years ago, and Liu Tingzhou's Huaixi army leader Si Yamen was also set up in Shouzhou. Liu Tingzhou was not only responsible for Huaixi's grain, grain and ordnance, but also responsible for it. Support Liang Chengchong's troops who entered Nanyang.

Shouzhou is located between Guoyang and Luzhou, on the southern bank of the Huaihe River. The Guobu and Yingshui waters come from the north and flow into the Huaihe River from the east and west of Shouzhou, while the Fei River comes from the south and flows from the territory of Shouzhou. Flowing into Huaikou, it has been known as "the vortex in the north and the nest in the south of the south" since ancient times.

Facing the still cold north wind, Dong Yuan, accompanied by Liu Tingzhou, Tao Chun, Xiao Kui'an and other generals, climbed the Kipishi Mountain on the south bank of the Huaihe River with King Yuan Hancheng of Chu, overlooking the land of Shouzhou and the vast soup of the Huaihe River, from west to east. Eternal flow.

"Since the Li Bingbu, there is a difference between defending the soil and defending the enemy. Guan Huaidong stationed troops in Xusi, with Xuzhou, Peixian, and Guangqi as the outer lines, stationed 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard them, and gathered in Siyang and Shanyang on the inner lines. More than 30,000 soldiers thought that the internal line—the internal and external echoes, could make the Xusi defense line stable,” Dong Yuan pointed at the mountains and rivers with his whip, and said, “The idea of ​​deploying defense in Huaixi is also the same, with Guoyang as the periphery and Shouzhou as the The inside line, but unlike Huaidong, we still face severe tests on the west line..."

The west line of Shouzhou is the Huaishan that stretches for thousands of miles~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The three remnants of Chen Han fled into Huaishan years ago, stirring up the counties in the northeastern foothills of Huaishan. Suizhou and Xiangyang in the southwest of Huaishan , Changle bandit Luo Xiancheng even claimed to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, Jiangning repeatedly sent envoys to Zhao'an, but failed - so Dong Yuan said that Huaixi's western front was facing a severe test.

Although Chen Zhihu had already entered Henan, the military pressure on Guoyang was not large. In comparison, Luo Xiancheng in the west was a bigger hidden danger.

Yue Lengqiu set up troops and horses from Hanghu and Huinan, and went to Jiangzhou to supervise the battle. However, after the Shejia entered Jiangxi, the troops were very sharp, and the momentum had not been curbed. In a short time, Jiangning did not want Dong Originally, he fought against Luo Xiancheng in Huaixi, fearing that if there was a mishap, it would affect the overall situation of defending Huai.

Once Dong Yuan defeated Luo Xiancheng, Huaixi's defense line could only rely on Huaidong's troops, which was definitely not what Jiangning hoped to see.

Liu Tingzhou glanced at Dong Yuan, saw that his cheeks were tight and his expression was serious, and he knew that he had made up his mind to attack the Changle bandits.

Liu Tingzhou is not a conservative official. Taking advantage of Yanhu's temporary inability to go south, the main pressure of defending Huai's defense line has to be supported by Xuzhou. If he does not take this opportunity to suppress the bandits in Changle, he will join forces with Liang Chengchong to recover Xiangyang.

Once the three remnants of Chen and Han who had fled into Huaishan were to be cleared, and then the bandits of Le Roy, the head of Luo Xiancheng's office, were to be used, it would involve the question of who should guard Guoyang and who would fight the Western Front.

Yuan Hancheng looked at Tao Chun and Xiao Kuian. The two armies in Dongyang and Luzhou could not be mobilized. They could only take on the heavy responsibilities of Tao Chun and Xiao Kuian.

"The last general is willing to lead his troops westward to fight Luo Xiancheng and recover Xiangyang for the court!" Tao Chun volunteered. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
