Wang Jing did not respond immediately, glanced at him and said, "Mr. Bu, what do you think?"
Bu Zhi pondered slightly and said: "I think what Minister Han said makes sense, but Chen Baxian is a great leader of his generation. I'm afraid that Yang Guang will suddenly face a powerful enemy and his troops will not be able to parry it!"
"If Chen Baxian defeated the Sui army and marched to Yangzhou City, but our army was still blocked by the Sui army to the north, wouldn't it mean that Chen Baxian took advantage?"
"From my perspective, it is best for our army to fight quickly and break through the enemy's water stronghold in Gaoyou Lake as soon as possible!"
Chen Baxian was historically the founding king of Nanchen, and Nanchen inherited the decadent situation of the late Nanliang Dynasty.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been confined to the south of the Yangtze River.
The territory area is similar to that of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period, and Jiangling is still in the hands of Xi Liang.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had the smallest territory and the weakest national power among the four southern dynasties.
However, in the more than 30 years of Nanchen's national movement, there are many good generals in the army with a good foundation.
Among them, General Wu Mingche is the leader.
Among the many famous generals in the martial arts temple, Wu Mingche's record was not outstanding, and there were many records of defeats. In the end, he was defeated and captured because of a back injury.
But being able to enter the martial arts temple at least shows that Wu Mingche's ability is recognized by many people.
Especially when he died of worry and anger after being captured, his moral character as a general was recognized by Emperor Nanchen.
In addition to Wu Mingche, a general who is inferior to other famous martial arts generals, Nanchen also has Xiao Moke, who is known as the reincarnation of Guan Gong.
This person is also one of the few fierce generals in the history books who can kill the enemy's head from ten thousand troops.
With the help of these two people, and Chen Baxian himself being a top general, unless Yang Shuang went south to face him personally, the other generals under Yang Guang would really not be Chen Baxian's opponents.
When Bu Zhi mentioned this, Wang Jing immediately nodded in agreement.
Indeed, although Wu Mingche was in doubt in his later years, his abilities were not weak. He was especially good at arranging troops and commanding on the spot. If Chen Jun had this person to help him, his combat effectiveness would be even higher.
"Chen Baxian suddenly attacked the Sui army, which was a bit unexpected. The spies of the Military Intelligence Department have been mainly searching for information on the Huaidong princes these days, but they have neglected Jiangnan and Chen Baxian!"
"If there are Wu Mingche and Xiao Moke among Chen's army, then our army must fight quickly..."
Wang Jing said.
The soldiers of the Huai army were stronger than the Sui army, and their troops and generals also had an advantage. They should have been overwhelming and pushed forward all the way.
However, the Sui army knew the gap between the enemy and ourselves and did not engage in a decisive battle or joint battle with Wang Jing.
In the past, the Huai army was able to sweep Yang Xingmi and Deng Qiang in a short period of time, either because the opponent was unprepared and was attacked by a surprise attack, or because there was insufficient food and grass, no buffer, and a dangerous place, so a decisive battle was necessary.
The Sui army was completely different from the two.
Many generals of the Sui Army knew the strength of the Huai Army, and they relied on the defense system they had built to defend, and did not come out to counterattack at all.
The grain and fodder of the Sui army, under the management of Pei Ju, Su Wei, Yu Shiji and others, had already filled the granaries.
The opponent has no shortage of food, grass, and troops. He also has a clear understanding of his own strength and is blocked by many solid defense lines...
Anyone who regards the Sui army as a soft persimmon must be blind.
Can the soft persimmon take the initiative to launch an offensive against the other three princes in Huaidong with one against three, and suppress them to a disadvantage?
so.
If you want a quick victory, you must plan to fight the opponent with heavy losses.
Bu Zhi and Han Xizai also understood this truth.
However, the situation in the Jianghuai River is constantly changing. If the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River are informed of what is going on in Yangzhou, a few princes may be tempted and want to imitate Chen Ba and go north to take advantage of the situation.
Even if the Yangtze River is expanded ten times, it cannot stop the ambitions of the princes.
Gumei
"Stop watching, go back!"
Wang Jing said.
He came out for inspection this time, firstly to see the governance situation near Jinhu and whether the people were stable, and secondly to relax.
Not everyone is willing to deal with countless large and small matters every day and still be satisfied.
Wang Jing does not have Zhu Yuanzhang's energy and desire for power, and he also needs to rest.
but.
His plan to rest today was disrupted by the intelligence coming in, and he had to go back to make plans for the subsequent situation.
When the driver outside heard the order, he quickly whistled, adjusted his direction, and returned to Jinhu surrounded by two thousand cavalry guards.
…
A few days later, Fu Youde stood on the building boat, looking at the scene of the collision of warships in front and the raging flames of the enemy's water fort with a calm expression.
After continuous fighting, the Huai army had successfully captured the Sui army's water stronghold.
Counting the water fortresses that had been breached before, he had already captured seven of them since he led his navy to attack. Killed 4,000 enemy troops and captured more than 6,000 people.
The losses of the Sui army exceeded 10,000.
But there was still some distance to go before the Sui army could break through the defense line of Gaoyou Lake Village and penetrate it. There are many obstacles around the Sui Army's Sanxing Island Camp and Luanshi Island Camp.
All these obstacles must be torn apart to achieve victory.
kill!
The shouts of killing in front were loud and echoed constantly on the lake. Blood and corpses fell from the warship into the lake. The bloody smell in the lake had attracted many creatures in the water.
Among the creatures in these lakes, some have absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth and transformed into essences, becoming second and third levels, and some have some spirituality.
They are no longer ordinary fish and shrimps, but monsters in the water. Human corpses and blood attract them around.
Fu Youde lowered his head slightly, reached for an ordinary spear, and raised his hand to throw it.
The Gang Qi exploded, and a stream of light entered the water.
The next moment, a big fish as big as a colt was pierced by a spear, its belly turned up, and it floated up from the water.
This big fish suddenly has the aura of a third-level creature.
Just now it couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to swallow a Sui soldier after he fell into the water...
Even if the Sui army is an enemy, they are still human beings.
Fu Youde will never allow monsters to eat people in his sight. If he doesn't see it, that's fine, but if he sees it, he won't sit idly by and ignore it.
"Gaoyou Lake, like Hongze Lake, is inhabited by spirits. If we take over this place in the future, we must report to the king and send troops to exterminate these spirits!"
Fu Youde thought to himself.
As for when Gaoyou Lake can be captured...according to Fu Youde's plan, as long as we advance step by step, one month will be enough if nothing unexpected happens.
"Brother!"
At this time, Tang Shengzong arrived in a boat. He personally led his troops to fight in the past few days and captured several water forts. However, hundreds of his soldiers died in the battle and two to three hundred were injured, so he could not continue to fight.
So he took his troops back to the Hekou Army Camp to rest.
Fu Youde looked around and saw a middle-aged scribe standing next to Tang Shengzong. It was Han Xizai who served as the Minister of War.
obviously.
If Han Xizai needs to come to the front line in person for something, Tang Shengzong is responsible for protecting him.
