Waiting is the most grinding. Zhu Gaoxu was waiting for the result in the rear, but he was more anxious than going into battle in person; Moreover, Chen Dazhui brought back the news that the situation had changed, and the battle became foggy, which made it difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to rest assured.

On the water, a group of slender men were shouting and pulling the boat hard, and the leader sang "Yo Ho ......" in a long voice, and a group of people exhaled vigorously with "hey" in unison.

Zhu Gaoxu stood on the riverbank, watching the sand boats on the river, moving slowly in the shallow water nearby. After a moment he lifted his gaze and looked at the northern sky again.

However, it is impossible to see the situation at the front here; Only the cold north wind of winter blew on his face, and he felt a little numb in his cheeks.

…… As early as late September, Zhu Gaoxu led 80,000 troops and 7,800 cavalry of the Han Dynasty Army from the north of the Eastern Front. However, in early October, when the fighting on the Zishui side was about to begin, he moved his troops westward and came to the Fuyi River Valley.

During this time, Zhu Gaoxu did something other than combat. The first is to push the supply line north.

The goods and military supplies mobilized from the four provinces were first transported to Guilin for distribution; The grain requisitioned from various parts of Guangxi was also transported to Guilin Prefecture first. Then the ship was transported from the Li River, Lingqu and Xiangjiang River to the Yongzhou Prefecture area.

The Han Wangjun built several warehouse transfer points along the road.

Originally, the capital city of Yongzhou was the largest distribution center of military grain and grass in the north; However, due to the continuous attack on the fleet from the Xiangjiang River, Zhu Gaoxu changed and redeployed the grain route in September.

He ordered the expansion of warehouses on the banks of the Dayang River (Zishui River) to the west of Yongzhou Fucheng and the south of Dong'an County, and set up a Dayang River water base; Move the distribution center to the west in the north to reduce the losses caused by the attack and harassment of the officers and sailors.

The military quarters were transported to the Hokuriku to the Fuyishui warehouse, and then transferred from Fuyishui to the north by ship and transferred to the barracks.

In addition to Qu Neng's army, the Han Wang's army has deployed more than 200,000 troops in Huguang! Because most of the distance during the military transfer was water transportation, the Han Wangfu barely maintained the situation; But if it wears off, this transport line will also become vulnerable.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu also rectified Wu Gaojun's surrender.

He invited Wu Gao out, appeared in the army from time to time, and treated Wu Gao with courtesy, so as to appease the army. Then the 80,000 generals at all levels were adjusted one after another.

The generals that Zhu Gaoxu attaches the most importance to are not generals such as Wei Commanders, but hundreds of generals! He believed that the Hundred Households Brigade was the basic unit of the army in a big war, and the loyalty and ability of its commanders would greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the army in invisible places.

He appointed more than 800 generals of 100 households. First of all, the more than 300 cavalry guards who followed him were all appointed to the surrender of the army as a hundred households; Four or five hundred people were selected from among the low-level generals of the Sichuan and Yunnan military ranks.

The most reliable generals in the Han army were people from Yunnan and Sichuan, because these people had fought with Zhu Gaoxu a few years earlier.

In addition, Zhu Gaoxu also ordered Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen and other civilian officials to register the origins of the surrendered army. More than half of them were not from the Guangxi military, but from the Beijing camp and various local health centers; In addition to the men and horses of the Beijing camp, these people will be mixed into the army of the Han king.

The military households of Guangxi nationality will maintain the basic structure of the 100 households team, and appoint some Guangxi military generals as deputy ......

At this point, everything is almost arranged.

But in the past two days, Zhu Gaoxu has been thinking too much, and his mood is not very stable.

When he thought of Qu Nengjun, Zhu Gaoxu was slightly afraid. The Northern Route Army was in the place where the officers and soldiers were heavily watched, and it was interspersed with southward movement from Chenxi County; They were able to escape from death, except because of Qu Neng's ability, they must have taken some luck!

Zhu Gaoxu used to warn himself that he didn't gamble to win; But it's often hard not to gamble.

After Chen Dazhui rushed to Zhu Gaoxu's army, Zhu Gaochu was a little more worried, and he felt that he could never land.

…… However, Zhu Gaoxu speculated that Zhang Fu's mentality might be even worse!

As early as the battle of Annanguo, Zhu Gaoxu found that Zhang Fu was a little greedy; Perhaps it was because of this weakness that Zhang Fu was mentally unstable at a critical moment, which affected his calmness.

He Fu's deployment made Zhang Fu see hope; At that moment, Zhang Fu must not have been calm enough, and his decision-making was a little impulsive...... Otherwise, if Zhang Fu had been calm enough at that time, he should have been able to realize that He Fu's deployment was more risky.

Later, Zhang Fu realized it and seemed to understand the joints; That's why Zhang Fu changed the military order and Chen Dazhui escaped back!

But if the officers and troops fail to reverse the defeat in this campaign, it will be difficult for Zhang Fu to correct his mentality and return to normalcy after that.

As an old brother who has been in a state of bad gambling for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu has rich experience in this mentality. At that time, Zhang Fu was like a millionaire who suddenly lost 200,000 yuan, and the mentality of the vast majority of gamblers was: he must get it back with interest!

There are too many such people, including Zhu Gaoxu, who was also not spared before; He had never seen a gambler who could simply let go of the "200,000" he lost overnight.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu's confidence in the Battle of Huguang has increased a few points: because Zhang Fu may go further and further on the road of losing his calm...... The key is to make Zhang Fu lose the "200,000", that is, He Fujun's 100,000 horses!

Zhu Gaoxu waited in a panic, looking forward to the moment when the dice were revealed......

In the afternoon of the same day, Fu Yishui rode to the river, and he seemed to see Zhu Gaoxu's banner and was shouting anxiously. After a while, a grain boat approached the opposite shore.

The knight crossed the Fuyi River in a boat, came to the east bank, and ran straight towards the Chinese army.

Zhu Gaoxu also patted his horse and approached the man. After a while, the knight was heard shouting: "Lord Wang, the governor of Shengdu will report it!" ”

"Bring it in." Zhu Gaoxu calmed his breath.

He reined in his horse, got the lacquered letter, tore open the envelope, and pulled out the paper to read it.

Sheng Yong has ordered the whole army to retreat, and the main force of the Han army, totaling 200,000 people, has begun to cross south to Zishui this morning. Before this battle, it is suspected that Zhang Fu rushed to He Fu's army in time and completely changed He Fu's combat arrangement; Sheng Yong failed to completely defeat the enemy army.

The results of the battle are roughly written on the next page. More than 30,000 enemy troops were captured, plus the casualties of He Fu's army, and the enemy's losses were probably more than 40,000.

After reading it, Zhu Gaoxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The battle failed to achieve the expected results, and Zhu Gaoxu was not happy, but after hearing the definite news, his heart finally let go.

He handed Sheng Yong's recital to the generals beside him, and sighed and said, "The result is not bad." ”
