Mayfly light car is a kind of model used by Huainan military transportation materials, as the name suggests, this kind of car shape is like a mayfly, the car plate is light and thin, the two wings are stretched side by side, the lower wheel is elliptical and full, and the axle wheel can be disassembled. This kind of vehicle weighs about 200 catties, does not need animal power, and can usually be used for transportation by two or three strong laborers.

The reason why the Huainan Army deliberately built this style of baggage vehicle was because of the special combat environment in Chenliu. The place of Chen Liu, shaped like a broad belt, is close to the big river, and the chasm passes through the border, and the waterways in the domain are extremely rich. Between Yucheng, Fugou, Weishi, Yuanling and Junyi, the terrain is open and flat, and there is a large area of fertile soil for farming.

This kind of terrain is naturally advantageous for the large-scale assembly of the army. Therefore, in mid-April, when the Huainan Army continued to move north from Xuchang and formally crusaded against Chen Guang's rebellious army, in just ten days, it almost effortlessly lowered more than 40 Chen Liuwu walls, killed more than 2,000 rebel troops, and captured more than 30,000 people in Dingkou. With a sweeping momentum, the strongholds set up by Chen Guang's rebellious army on the periphery of Chen Liu were uprooted.

By May, the only places in the land of Chenliu were still in the hands of the rebel army, such as Yongqiu, Chenliu Ancient City, Liangyuan, Cangyuan, and Waihuang. Moreover, because the war in Qingzhou in the east was progressing smoothly, Shen Mu, Li Hong and others captured the Guanggu City of Qingzhou where Shi Hu's generals Shi Min and others were entrenched in the first battle, which was regarded as completely uprooting and sweeping the forces of Shihu south of the Yellow River, and then increased troops to Yanzhou, and the front army had arrived in Jiyang, further squeezing the activity space of the chaotic army.

On the one hand, Yongqiu and other places are the key bases of the rebel army, which can be said to be deeply rooted in this area. On the other hand, due to the great changes in the topography of this area, there are many rivers, scattered canals, and countless dais, which has caused great inconvenience to the movement of the army.

It is important to know that the chasm is not a naturally formed waterway, but is artificially excavated to lure the water of the Yellow River to connect many waterways in Henan. At the same time, the place where the old remains is also the essence of the Central Plains, the development of a long time, and the erosion of the people's cultivation, so that the water potential and terrain conditions of this area have become extremely complicated.

After Yongjia, the Central Plains was in frequent wars, and the river was in disrepair. In the past few years, Chen Guang's rebellious army has also deliberately used this terrain to seek internal consolidation, so it has exacerbated the flooding in this area. Until now, there is not even a complete road to get in and out of it. Around Yongqiu alone, there are more than a dozen swamps and beaches of all sizes, such as Huangze, Baiyangpi, Xiayongze, and Gaoshipi.

Although the terrain here is complicated, it will never give up halfway, and a total of 5,000 soldiers such as Tian Jing, Jian Ning, Ji Hong, and Duan Qi will join the rebellious army. In the follow-up, Han Huang led 7,000 cavalry as a follow-up, and he was bound to completely wipe out the chaotic army.

The Governor's Mansion attached great importance to this battle, and the Shengwu army directly led by Shen Zhezi alone invested 3,000 troops. The newly built Shengwu Army is by no means only well-equipped, but its members are selected among the best of all armies, and it is not only unstoppable in formation, but also has a very strong ability to fight individually.

In mid-May, the armies officially launched an attack from Gao's Pi, southwest of Yongqiu, against the rebel forces assembled in Yongqiu. However, this battle was extremely unsmooth, and it can even be said that it is a rare defeat since the Huainan Army was formed. Before the battle began, there were a series of vicious incidents of missing the deadline, getting lost, and being completely annihilated.

One of the commanders was the veteran Ji Hong, who was originally responsible for capturing Gao's fort, a fort in Gao's Pizhong, but he strayed into a trap during the march, and nearly a thousand soldiers were almost wiped out by the chaotic army, and Ji Hong was also killed in this battle.

Although the Huainan Army successfully took Gao's Fort in the follow-up, the reason was that the chaotic army took the initiative to give up, and the Huainan Army picked up this dock wall almost in vain. And because of the lack of follow-up, and the Yongqiu rebel army was strong and clear, the Huainan army that went deep could only retreat, and set up a camp in the south of the old city of Chen Liu, where it confronted the rebel army.

Although the battle of Yongqiu could not be said to have achieved nothing, it also sounded a wake-up call to the fierce Huainan Army, especially in the case of taking advantage of the situation, there was a vicious incident in which the troops were almost wiped out and the generals were besieged to death, which also made the generals participating in the war want to die of shame and indignation.

Shen Zhezi was also deeply touched by the fact that such a war report was sent to Xuchang, although he thought that he had paid enough attention to Chen Guang's army, but in fact, he still did not pay enough attention. Because of the previous experience of successfully quelling Liu Zheng's rebellious army, it should not be a big problem to solve Chen Guang in Shen Zhezi's opinion. If this kind of mentality falls on the military, it is inevitable that there will be some haste in it.

As the war progressed to the present, the strategy of the Huainan Army can be said to be completely clear, blockading Luoyang in the west and sweeping away the internal troubles in Henan. In the past, in his opinion, the Chen Guang Rebellion entrenched in Chen Liu was just a disease of scabies, so he did not pay too much attention to the details.

Although he had maintained the encirclement and suppression of Chen Guang's rebellious army, in fact, a series of hard-line decrees he implemented in southern Henan still provided Chen Guang with an opportunity to strengthen himself.

This point was actually revealed when Chen Liu's outlying stronghold was uprooted. The population density in Chenliujing far exceeded that of Huainan, Runan and other places before. In other words, many of the township sects who refused to obey the administrative orders he imposed in southern Henan almost all went north to Chen Guang. So much so that now Chen Guang has become a stubborn tumor, even if it is not aggressive enough, but his subordinates are entrenched here and have a wide range of people, and they are really not opponents who can be swept away in one blow.

The local war in this area is not going smoothly, and it will have a bad impact on the subsequent war. First of all, Chen Liu, a small place, contained more than 10,000 front-line combat troops of the Huainan Army, and it was a great loss of money and food. Moreover, Chen Guang's recalcitrant attitude of the chaotic army shows that even if the combat effectiveness of the chaotic army is solved, it will not be easy to suppress and digest those chaotic people in the future.

Secondly, due to the existence of the chaotic army, it is equivalent to a hard bone between the Huainan Army and the Xuzhou Army, so that the two armies cannot be smoothly connected through the waterway of the Yellow River. And this directly affected Shen Zhezi's follow-up battle plan.

The Huainan Army has mobilized more than 100,000 troops this year, and the main purpose is naturally unlikely to be Chen Guang and Liu Zheng, the two rebellious troops that are still breathing, or even the peach leopards of Luoyang. Shen Zhezi's imaginary enemy has always been Shi Kan, who has heavy troops and is entrenched in Yecheng, Hebei.

Whether it was the joint extermination of Liu Zheng with the Xuzhou Army, or the encirclement and suppression of Chen Guang by the Huainan Army, including the subsequent sweep of Henan by the coalition forces of the two towns, they were actually cleaning up the battlefield in order to fight with Shikan later.

In fact, the current battle situation in Henan and Hebei is similar to the battle of Guandu in the early years. Although Shi Kanqi is entrenched in Hebei, in fact, he does not belong to the core force of the Qi State at all, so in the battle for Xiangguo that is in full swing in Hebei today, Shi Kan does not participate in it at all. Of course, if Shi Le's widow Liu can still exert her influence normally, Shi Kan can also use the fake son as the queen mother's strong reinforcement to join the struggle for the supreme power of the kingdom.

But now the Liu family has been abolished by Cheng Yao and even assassinated, now Cheng Yao is holding the Changjun Shi Hong, Shi Hu is holding the young monarch Shi Hui hostage, although Shi Kan's strength is not small, but his own influence is really lacking, and he has no bargaining chips in hand, and neither of the two parties has the possibility of coexisting and cooperating with him. Therefore, at present, Shikan still focuses on separatism, and the focus is on Henan, which also wants to avoid direct conflict with the orthodoxy of the Qiang State.

Similar to the psychology, including Shi Sheng, who is now trapped in Guanzhong. Although Guanzhong is extremely chaotic, if Shi Sheng wants to break away, the other parties will wish to have one less big enemy, and they will not desperately attack Shi Sheng and make wedding clothes for others. But Shi Sheng has not shown signs of leaving the customs for a long time, because he also knows that Hebei will not have his place, and it is better to seek the rise of the borderland.

Of course, Luoyang's peach leopard is an exception, the peach leopard is neither a clan relative, nor is it an elderly person with a high appeal of the Qian nationality like Kui'an, and he is getting older, even if he has Shi Le's ambition, he has no time to show any ambitions, and even his people can't seek to be self-reliant.

At present, the reason why his people can still hold the Luoyang Emperor's Mansion is that although the parties are fighting endlessly, the real secession has not yet formed. Not only Shen Zhezi is thinking about the old capital of Luoyang, but even Shi Kan and Shi Sheng, after stabilizing the situation, will inevitably regard Luoyang as a target that is bound to be seized in the next step. The reason why Peach Leopard can still sit on tens of thousands of defeated troops is not because of his extraordinary leadership, but because those soldiers can't see where the road ahead is at all, so they can only temporarily settle down and stay warm.

Shi Kan wanted to seek a way out from Henan, so the Huainan army would inevitably have a war with him. Shen Zhezi's original plan was to completely sweep away Chen Guang's rebellious army before June, and then assemble the Huainan Army to set up heavy troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, and at the same time link up with the foreign aid of the Xuzhou Army, take the initiative to launch an attack on Shikan, and fight with Shikan on the Yellow River to eliminate his ability to interfere in Henan, and then defend the line of the Yellow River and attack Luoyang in the west.

The reason why he attacked Chen Guang first instead of attacking Luoyang was because Luoyang was sitting on the risk of eight passes, and the goal was too big. Once Shen Zhezi enters Luoyang in the west, whether it is Shikan in Hebei or Chen Guang in Henan, they will definitely fish in troubled waters and send troops to intervene.

Chen Liu, on the other hand, although Chen Guang was nominally subordinate to Shi Kan, was an independent force after all, and there was no pain or goal conflict for Shi Kan. Even if his people want to send troops to intervene, they will definitely control the scale, and it is absolutely impossible to raise heavy troops to the south to fight Huainan to the death in order to save Chen Guang.

As for the peach leopard, Luoyang is a shelter for him, and it is also a shackle. It's like an old farmer who has a lot of money and doesn't dare to leave home for a while. He should be more willing to stay out of the matter, be a yellow finch after the praying mantis catches the cicada, sit and watch the success or failure, waiting for a piece of the leftovers, it is impossible to give up such a superior base in Luoyang and raise troops to participate in a war that is not profitable at all.

However, the Huainan army encountered a blockade in the process of exterminating Chen Guang's chaotic army, which would bring many unpredictable effects to the war, and it was even possible that Shi Kan would take the initiative to come south, and the peach leopard would also become restless, and then the Huainan army might have to face a multi-front battle.

However, fortunately, Shen Zhezi set a large operational goal at the beginning of the war, and under the condition of maintaining the western encirclement and eastern suppression, Xuchang, as a temporary base camp, has also gathered more than 50,000 troops.
