Fifteen divisions of the army and two roads 5

When Lin Yizi saw Yang Yan's appearance, she seemed unwilling to take her in, so she became a little scared, because before she came, Cheng Yuanzhou repeatedly warned them that they must not make Yang Yan angry, otherwise they would not spare them. And in the past few days at Cheng Yuanzhou's house, I also felt the hostility of Cheng Yuanzhou's wife and concubine towards him, the two of them had heard of some of Yang Yan's reputation, and Yang Yan's attitude towards them was much better than others, so they wanted to stay by Yang Yan's side.

Seeing that Yang Yan was a little hesitant, Lin Yizi said: "My lord, don't you want us anymore, please don't send us back, if the adults send us back, Lord Cheng will definitely kill us." We can do anything, even if it's for adults, and ...... And...... We haven't been touched yet, so please take us sisters. As he spoke, he knelt down for Yang Yan and cried with a whimper. When Lin Yanhong saw her sister kneeling, she also knelt down and cried.

Yang Yan shook his head, knowing that he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to say, "Okay, you guys should get up first."

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

Early the next morning, Yang Yan left the two sisters in the pavilion, and he and Cao Xun rushed to Tuen Mun with Zhou Fangyi, the commander of the right army of the Ma Military Division, and Xue Song, the commander of the Rongzhou regiment of the Guangxi Army.

Li Gongzuo took them on the boat, Cao Xun and him were also acquaintances, and the two sides exchanged a few polite words, and immediately talked about the topic. Li Gongzuo unfolded a map of the Quang Nam coast and said, "The last general has sent people to investigate, and both Gaozhou and Nanenju can be used as landing sites." Moreover, according to the spies, except for Deqing Province, which borders us and is heavily defended, the rest of the Quang Nam coast is very laxly guarded, so we have at least eighty percent chance of success if we sneak attack from the sea. ”

Yang Yan nodded and asked Cao Xun, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Xun looked at the map carefully and said, "Lao Li, how many troops can your fleet transport?" How many days does it take to get from Tuen Mun to Nan En? ”

Li Gongzuo said: "The navy itself can provide about 8,000 native soldiers, and it can also carry about 10,000 to 12,000 men and horses. From here, it takes six to eight days to reach Namunju. ”

Cao Xun nodded and said, "Big brother, now Guangzhou can dispatch about 25,000 people?" In my opinion, let the Zhou commander lead 10,000 horses to feint to attack Deqing Mansion to attract the attention of the Manichaean army, and then I led 15,000 men and horses to set off by sea by sea, landed in Nanenzhou, and after taking Nanenzhou, I divided into two routes, one to take Gaozhou, and the other to cooperate with Zhou to take Deqing Mansion. What do you think?"

Yang Yan said: "This plan is good, but there is still no consideration in the details, have you ever thought that the Manichaean army also has defenders in Gaozhou, and there are also defenders in Huazhou, Rongzhou and other places, which add up to not a few, once you divide your troops in Nanenzhou, the number will not be advantageous." In case you can't divide your troops to attack Gaozhou, but are defeated by Gaozhou's men and horses, and go to Deqing Mansion on the other way, then Nanenzhou will definitely be empty, and I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it. At that time, even if Deqing Mansion was captured, the purpose of this naval raid would be lost. ”

Cao Xun scratched his head and said, "That's right, in this way, when I get to Nanenzhou, I won't go to Deqing Mansion first, anyway, there is Zhou Commander who is holding down the Manichaean army in Deqing Mansion." I'll take Gaozhou first and defeat the reinforcements of the Manichaean army. ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "This time it's a little more thoughtful, but can you be sure that you will definitely be able to fight the Manichaean army?" Or what if they don't fight you, only you? You can't get enough food and grass. ”

Cao Xun covered his head again, thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Yang Yan smiled slightly, and said: "The solution is very simple, if the reinforcements of the Manichaean army arrive, you lead 10,000 horses to join them in Nanenzhou, and then divide 5,000 men and horses to continue to land in Gaozhou by boat, in this way, the Manichaean army will inevitably panic, because every coast may become our landing site, you can take this opportunity to defeat the Manichaean reinforcements, and capture Gaozhou, killing two birds with one stone, and then send out the army to take Deqing, you can be done." ”

Cao Xun took a breath, nodded, and said, "Big brother, you are still cunning." ”

Li Gongzuo, Zhou Fangyi, and Xue Song also thought that Yang Yan's plan was indeed very thorough, and there were no obvious loopholes. Then a few people discussed some details, and Zhou Fangyi and Xue Song went back to Guangzhou to gather people and come to Tuen Mun.

After Zhou Fangyi and Xue Song left, Yang Yan asked Li Gongzuo again: "Have there been any pirate activities in the recent period?" ”

Li Gongzuo said: "The pirates do not have any abnormal activities, and I have also strictly ordered the soldiers not to have any conflicts with the pirates, but I only heard that Meng Heng, the strongest of the three pirates, is now recruiting troops to build ships and expand his strength." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "If you attack the pirates now, what do you think of victory or defeat?" ”

Li Gongzuo said: "The ships, assemblies, and weapons of the pirates will definitely not be stronger than us, and if they fight us head-on, they will naturally not be the opponent of my Great Song Naval Division, but I think they will never dare to fight us head-on, but avoid us to fight, or even not fight with us at all, because they are more familiar with the sea routes than us, so once they start a war, the victory or defeat is unpredictable." And I heard that Meng Heng's old Zanglong Island area is full of reefs and countless undercurrents, if you don't know the water, you can't hit Zanglong Island at all. And he was afraid of startling the snakes, so now the last general did not dare to send someone to check on Shuiwen. ”

Yang Yan nodded, knowing that Li Gongzuo was telling the truth, and said, "But now there is a way." told Meng Lanjun as it was.

When Li Gongzuo heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and said: "If this Meng girl is really willing to submit to the imperial court, it is naturally better, although she is not Meng Heng's subordinate, but these three pirates are connected to each other, and she must know more than us." ”

Yang Yan said: "She should be more familiar with the waterways around Quang Nam than we are, so this time I will also find her and join you in attacking Manichaeism from the sea." ”

Li Gongzuo said: "That's not necessary, this time attacking Manichaeism from the sea is just along the coast, it is not complicated, and Manichaeism does not have a naval army, and it will not fight at sea, so Miss Meng actually can't play much role." ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "I don't expect her to play much of a role, but I just took the opportunity of attacking Manichaeism from the sea to see if she tried her best and whether she was truly obedient to the imperial court." ”

Li Gongzuo nodded and said, "My lord is right." ”

Yang Yan said again: "Cao Xun, although we have set a battle plan, the battlefield is unpredictable, and sometimes we should be improvised, not stick to the pre-war plan. There is another point you have to keep in mind that if you hit Gaozhou and Rongzhou, you are not allowed to attack Leizhou, Huazhou, and Yulinzhou. ”

Cao Xun was stunned and said, "Big brother, why is that?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Because there is a way to let Zhong Ziang return to Hainan." ”

Cao Xun shook his head and said, "I still don't understand, why did the eldest brother let Zhong Ziang have a way out?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Zhong Ziang's martial arts are world-famous, and there are no pan-masters in Manichaeism, once they are forced to have no way out, they are broken into pieces, and they turn into secret activities, the world is so big, you can go anywhere, it is difficult for us to catch them, and they will always be troubles." On the contrary, if he is forced to flee to the isolated island of Hainan, as long as the sea route is blocked, they can only be trapped on the isolated island, and it will be much easier to catch them all at that time. ”

Cao Xun said: "Big brother, you are too ruthless, Mingli is letting others go, but you actually want to catch turtles in the urn?" Poor Zhong Ziang, it must be the smoke from his ancestral grave that he bumped into you, big brother. ”

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

After dealing with the affairs in Guangzhou, Yang Yan left Cao Xun behind and rushed back to Wuxian with the two sisters. In the few days since he left Wuxian, the Manichaean army was indeed stationed in Guizhou and did not leave. Therefore, Yang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the Song armies of other roads won victories one after another, and successively recovered Pennzhou, Xiangzhou, Tengzhou, Wuzhou, Fengzhou and other places. But as the number of places recovered by the Song army gradually increased, all kinds of troubles followed. This is because the recovered areas must be garrisoned by troops, and it is also necessary to pacify the people, restore agricultural production and social order, quickly establish temporary local administrative organs, arrange temporary management personnel, and in some places it is necessary to mobilize food relief, and so on, and also ensure the logistical supply of the front-line troops.

Due to the limited manpower and material resources of Jingjiang Prefecture, most of the materials to deal with the aftermath need to be mobilized from Guangdong. Although Yue Lin was basically very cooperative with the transfer of Guangdong, after all, it was a two-way envoy, and many of the procedures were very complicated, and it was impossible to be as simple as deploying them within the road.
