Chapter 988: Yangzhou's Preparations for Battle
Shi Yuan's guess was not wrong, just when Yue Fei was carrying out a "spiritual baptism" on the three armies of Nanqing according to his instructions when he left...... But there was a war report - the Beiqing army is coming!
Of course, this news was not reported directly to Yue Fei, after all, Liu Dabeard was the nominal commander of the three armies. After Liu Dabeard learned the news, because he was afraid and worried about the relationship between the "Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill", he reported this matter to Yue Fei as soon as possible.
After Yue Fei learned about it, he did not intend to hide it from the three armies, and immediately transferred all the troops into Yangzhou City-because according to the spies' report, the vanguard of the Beiqing army went straight to Yangzhou City after going ashore, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't hide it. While this may cause fear in the city, it is unavoidable.
The bank of the Yangtze River is not far from Yangzhou City, and now the vanguard of Beiqing actually came directly to Yangzhou after landing on the shore, Yue Fei was a little confused for a while. But fortunately, even if the soldiers of the three armies in the city were panicked, they had already rearranged the three armies before. Therefore, it is much easier for the organization to give orders.
In just half a day, Yue Fei divided the entire Yangzhou City into two major areas, north and south, according to Shi Yuan's previous arrangement. Near the north is the preparation area, which is also the main meeting point of the three armies. The people who lived in Yangzhou before were all assigned to the south of the city. The defending troops and combat units of the city have been clearly divided into regions...... Of course, these were all arranged by Shi Yuan before leaving.
After arranging everything according to Shi Yuan's explanation when he left, Yue Fei ordered the previous "spiritual baptism education" to be carried out again. And when this matter was carried out, there was also a small episode.
Although he arranged it according to Shi Yuan's explanation, the person who gave the order could only be Liu Dabeard. After Liu Dabeard gave the order, Xia Lingcang, who is now the nominal No. 2 person in the three armies, quickly found Liu Dabeard, and then expressed strong dissatisfaction with Liu Dabeard's behavior of "studying" before the battle. At that time, Yue Fei happened to be standing on the side, and he didn't speak at all, just watching Xia Lingcang vent on the side.
However, after Xia Lingcang finished venting, Liu Dabeard blocked Xia Lingcang with just one sentence - this was General Shi's arrangement when he left!
In fact, until now, except for Yue Fei and others, no one else knew Shi Yuan's whereabouts. However, such a big thing has happened in Yangzhou City now, he has not shown up for a long time, and he doesn't need to think about it to know that Shi Yuan must have left Yangzhou.
Xia Lingcang seemed to be quite afraid of Shi Yuan's aftermath, and after Liu Dabeard moved out of Shi Yuan, he brushed his sleeves away...... Seeing this, Yue Fei also went to the prefect's mansion in Yangzhou - now he must tell Baihua and Shen Wei about the situation in the city.
In fact, after such a big turmoil in Yangzhou City, Baihua and Shen Wei also knew the specific situation. It's just that although they were ready, they didn't expect this scenario to come so quickly! It's so fast that it's a little shocking. You must know that Shi Yuan just left Yangzhou City yesterday. Now the Beiqing army has attacked...... This made them a little worried about Shi Yuan's safety.
When Yue Fei came to the prefect's mansion, the two of them were restlessly discussing Shi Yuan's situation. Hearing Yue Fei's request to see him, he hurriedly asked someone to bring him in.
"General Yue, what is the current situation in the city?" In this panicked situation, after seeing Yue Fei, Baihua and Shen Wei didn't even pour Yue Fei a cup of tea, so they asked urgently.
Yue Fei told the two of them about the current situation in Yangzhou City, but it was only the layout of Yangzhou City...... As for the situation of the Beiqing army that Baihua and Shen Wei were worried about, as well as Shi Yuan's situation, they didn't mention a word.
After hearing the news, Yue Fei, who had already blindly admired Shi Yuan, didn't even think about Shi Yuan's safety at all—because he felt that Shi Yuan must have been ambushed! Therefore, according to Shi Yuan's instructions when he left, he quickly arranged Yangzhou City......
Hearing what Yue Fei said, Shen Wei took the lead in asking anxiously: "Is there any news of the son?" Childe, did they encounter the Beiqing army? ”
Shen Wei's repeated questions couldn't help but make Yue Fei slightly stunned, and it wasn't until this moment that he reacted: Shi Yuan had just gone to the riverside yesterday, and according to the spies' report, it was very likely that the Beiqing army would encounter Shi Yuan and the others when they landed. If this is the case, 600 people, facing the vanguard of Beiqing, there will only be one result!
Thinking of this, Yue Fei's face suddenly turned a little pale. He originally came here to ask about the next arrangements between Baihua and Shen Wei, but now he has no such thoughts at all, and he began to worry about Shi Yuanlai together.
"You two don't have to worry so much! Shi Yuan is in the dark, Beiqing is in the light, Shi Yuan will definitely arrange spies in advance. I think...... He should have been ambushed by now! Baihua had actually told Shen Wei for a long time before, and she had comforted Shen Wei for a long time. Merely...... But no, Shen Wei still didn't completely put her mind at ease. There was no way, so I had to appease Shen Wei and Yue Fei again.
"But ......" Shen Wei was still a little worried when she heard it.
"Nothing! Senior Sister Shen, don't worry, he must be fine, don't forget, he still has glass by his side! Even if there is an accident, Ruri will take him out of danger. Baihua paused when she said this, she felt that if she talked about this topic again, Shen Wei would definitely not be able to put her mind at ease. So, this changed the topic: "Compared to this, I am more curious about Beiqing's intentions this time!" According to what the spies said, it should be the vanguard of the Beiqing army who rushed to Yangzhou, and they did not rectify by the river, but went straight to Yangzhou...... What exactly do you want to do? ”
"They're not trying to attack the city, are they?" After Yue Fei heard it, he guessed quietly.
Baihua's method of changing the topic did play a great role, after Yue Fei finished speaking, without waiting for Baihua to speak, Shen Wei shook his head and said, "Impossible!" No matter how strong the Beiqing army is, it will not be able to capture Yangzhou City with more than 10,000 people. Nine times out of ten, I think they have another purpose! ”
"But for what purpose?"
"Set up camp! They want to camp outside Yangzhou City, and then surrender without a fight! Baihua added her conjecture.
After Baihua finished speaking, Shen Wei immediately understood what she meant: the Beiqing army must have thought that Nanqing was chaotic by the Qinglian Sect and had no intention of fighting, so they would retreat to Yangzhou. This vanguard was completely used for the demonstration, and wanted all the three armies of Nanqing to surrender......
