Of course, Chang Yu didn't really go to build a ship, this is obviously an excuse, this is actually the brilliance of his imperial skills, Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and even Wang Tizhong are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they are by no means comparable to Xu Hongji's rookies, Chang Yu is qualified to point fingers and even show his teeth and claws in front of rookies, these rookies are also convinced, but they have to save enough face in front of Wu Sangui and others, each of these three people has more combat experience than him, and each of them is a ruthless person who can stand alone, Therefore, Chang Yu let go of his hands and let them show their talents, so as to avoid the gossip and suspicion of the eunuchs and the generals who hindered the army. And Wu Sangui and the others must have let go of their hands and feet and did their best, otherwise they would not be able to find any excuse if they were defeated and showed their incompetence.

If Chang Yu comes with him, the generals will have to be submissive, and everything will be under his command as if they are arbitrary, and it will make these generals feel dependent, anyway, everything is carried by you, what you say, what you say, we will be stained, and you will be defeated against thunder. Without fighting spirit and self-motivation, they have all become chaotic.

But as long as he hides behind, these generals will be different when they are alone, they will give full play to their maximum potential to deal with various situations, the sky is high and the birds can fly, the sea is wide and the fish can jump, he saves trouble, Wu Sangui and others are also happy, why not do it for a win-win situation!

But if you want to say that he hid behind the shipbuilding is an excuse but not exactly an excuse, he is really thinking and experimenting with shipbuilding, to be exact, pontoon bridges for the march.

The water system in the south is developed, one mile and one ditch and three miles of a river, because of the limitations of the times, the rivers that are slightly wider are all without bridges, and it is quite convenient for the common people to cross the river by boat, but it is difficult for thousands of troops to cross the river, not to mention that there are grain and grass and other baggage, but there are few big boats, most of them are small fishing boats, and they are really slow to encounter the big river!

Thinking of the military pontoon bridges of later generations, he wondered if he could come to a contemporary version, using fishing boats to lay wooden planks for the bridge piers...... Not to mention that the river surface is not turbulent, it is really faster than crossing the river by ferry, but for a while, I can't find so many and such large wooden planks, so I can only tear down the door panels of the abandoned village along the way...... In fact, I still feel very guilty, and it is not easy for ordinary people to build a door panel, if they wait until they return to their hometowns after the war...... It is necessary to curse who is so lacking in virtue and light to remove the door panel.

When receiving the good news ahead, the sky was already bright, Chang Yu was looking at the east of Fanchang City to enjoy the scenery of the Exi River, Li Muxian was not far away and Chen Wangting was fighting, hearing Wu Sangui's victory, everyone could not hide their joy, Chang Yu just raised his eyebrows slightly, with Wu Sangui and Ma Ke, the two wise and brave generals and the cavalry advantage If Bai Wang could not be broken, it would be a big surprise, and this was not a big victory, at most it was just an aperitif, after all, they had not officially started with Bai Wang!

"Then shall we continue to wait here for the good news, or shall we go and watch the battle?" Li Muxian asked with a smile.

Chang Yu laughed: "I always hide behind, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui and Ma Ke will think that Bendu will use them as cannon fodder, and Bendu is better to watch the battle nearby so as not to cause misunderstanding."

"Do you really want to use those two as cannon fodder?" Li Muxian asked in a low voice as if he was smiling on his face, and the corners of Chang Yu's mouth twitched: "I thought about weakening it, but it was just a momentary idea, although it did not have the name of the pillar country, it had the reality of the pillar country, and it could not be damaged for the sake of the Ming foundation!" ”

Li Muxian nodded: "That is the case, please go quickly, don't grind it bald!" ”

In the middle of the afternoon, Chang Yu led his guards to the south, accompanied by Xu Hongji, less than 2,000 Nanjing vanguard soldiers and horses led by Lu Daqi, and Wang Zamao's 6,000 thief army, as for Chang Yanling Zhao Zhilong's main army is still swaying slowly on the road.

After a few days of rain and sunshine, it should have been refreshing, but when the day became more and more vicious, the soldiers on the march from Chang Yu all scolded and scolded, it was so fucking hot, Ning Yuan was drenched in the rain and how cool it was, in fact, it was just a truth that I missed summer in winter and missed winter in summer.

Chang Yu had a special car to travel, but it was occupied by Su Jing in the past two days, but it was not because she was a woman who was inconvenienced, after all, she didn't care about these things at all with her pure character, except for changing clothes on weekdays, she would rather be exposed to the wind and sun than go to the carriage, but she couldn't stay for a long time in the past two days, according to Chang Yu's observation, she came to the eldest aunt!

Of course, he didn't say anything about it, so as not to be embarrassed, as for Wu Zhong, these rough people didn't notice it at all, otherwise they would have all kinds of bad tastes.

Although the sky is clear, but the road is still muddy after many days of rain, and the soldiers are all wilted in the sun, even Chang Yu, who is wearing a hat to shade the sun, is listless, but with the arrival of a news, he suddenly came to his senses, although his face was a little dignified.

The news was sent from the other side of the river by Dongchang Fanzi: Gao Jie and the three of them were stunned! was ambushed by thieves and stopped at Dayou Township (now Zongyang County)

Chang Yu took advantage of the shade of the tree on the side of the road and told Li Muxian, Lu Daqi, Xu Hongji and others about it, and when everyone heard the news, their faces changed, and they frowned and were silent. The fact that the two sides of the strait sent troops south at the same time, and the east bank was invincible all the way, but the west bank was defeated in the first battle and was ambushed, which shows that the thief army has long known the intentions of the officers and soldiers.

"This Bai Wang is really not simple, people are fighting with us here, but they have already left their hands over there, he is a character!" Li Muxian sighed softly, and Chang Yu nodded slightly: "If it weren't for this, how could Zuo Liangyu not dare to fight against him, he expected that the terrain over there would be dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he was able to calm down and wrestle with us here!" ”

"What then? If General Gao's side is unsuccessful, it will be even more difficult for us to fight to Chizhou Mansion and cross the river to attack Anqing" Xu Hongji frowned and asked, Chang Yu did not answer him directly, but said to Fanzi: "Pass the order to Gao Jie and the three people, no matter how much price they pay, before Li Yan's army arrives, they must first open the road to Anqing City, remember, what this governor said is that at any cost!" ”

Xu Hongji and the others changed color when they heard this, and their faces did not recover until Fanzi left, and they could see that the little eunuch was a little angry, or a little ruthless!

In fact, Chang Yu did have some anger in his heart, but he was only right about things and not people! He expected that the thief army might be on guard, and the road to Anqing would not be so peaceful, but he didn't expect to be ambushed as soon as he entered the realm, which made him a little annoyed, and the fire of the thief army was annoyed by Gao Jie's three people, and the three battle-hardened veterans had already been on guard, and the possibility of being ambushed was almost zero, but it was ......

However, this really can't blame Gao Jie for their carelessness, the three of them sent troops from Chaohu Lake all the way out of the day and night cautiously, and even sprinkled countless scouts to reconnoiter in front, but the terrain of Anqing Mansion is really complicated, the mountains are reckless, the forests are dense and the mountains are deep, there are lakes in the mountains, there are mountains in the lakes, the mountain roads are rugged and narrow, and the soldiers can be ambushed everywhere, no matter how careful the three of them are, they still stepped on the thunder after all, not that they are incompetent, but that the thief army is really cunning!
