"With the land of Qin, it is still a salary to fight the fire, the salary is not exhausted, and the fire is not extinguished."

If Wei is willing to retreat to the beginning of the war, the Wei and Ming sides actually control the area, the two sides are bounded by the Huai River in the east, and Wuchang and Changsha in the west, and the two sides reach a peace agreement, Zhu Cihong will be very willing to accept the status quo and recognize Gao Yihuan as the emperor of the Northern Dynasty.

Or the two sides take the area they now control as the boundary, the Wei army controls Huainan, and the Ming army controls the northern part of Xiangbei, and the Southern Ming can be somewhat embarrassed, but Gao Yihuan obviously can't accept such conditions, and Zhu Cihong can't cede land to Gao Yihuan, so the negotiation is destined to be unsuccessful.

Zhu Cihong wanted to use negotiations to delay time, so that he could mobilize some troops to return to Jiangnan, while Gao Yihuan wanted to use negotiations to make Zhu Cihong feel that he was not sure of crossing the river, so as to slow down the time and strength of the Ming army's return to defense, and wait for the Wei army's naval division to arrive.

Both sides are talking about conditions, but they both know that it is impossible to reach satisfactory terms, and the peace talks will not succeed, only He Tengjiao shuttled on both sides of the Yangtze River, vomiting all the bile water, and hoped that peace could be reached.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, 150,000 Wei troops, plus requisitioned men and sailors, numbered more than 200,000 people, stationed on the Yangtze River from Jiangpu in the west to Yangzhou in the east.

The Wei army was not concentrated in one place, because it was conducive to the Ming army to concentrate on defense, although the Yangtze River was a moat and difficult to cross, but he also had his shortcomings, that is, the defense of the Qianli River required sufficient troops to defend.

The 150,000 Wei troops, divided into several camps, went down to the north bank of the Yangtze River at various ferries suitable for crossing the river, but each village had tens of thousands of people, once the river was crossed, it was enough to threaten Nanjing, so that the Ming army had to disperse the already small number of troops to fortify.

In this matter, in Guazhou, there was a Wei army crowded, and the entire ferry, as far as the eye could see, was a dense army.

Zhu Cihong stood on the south bank, looked at the north bank with a clairvoyant mirror, and saw that the land outside the ferry was covered by the camp tents of the Wei army.

Zhu Cihong observed the lineup of the Wei army and had to admit that the Wei army was powerful and menacing.

"All the ferries along the river are sent to defend them?" Zhu Cihong frowned.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are troops to defend, as long as the sailors find the Wei thieves crossing the river in time, and the warships raid the Wei thief troop carriers, the river defense should be fine." Zheng Sen saluted.

The Yangtze River is called the moat because it is impassable and there are not enough boats, so it is very difficult to cross the Yangtze River.

For example, the Wei army has 100 large ships, each ship transports 200 troops, and can only cross 20,000 at a time, while the Ming army's naval division warships on the Yangtze River intercept, artillery bombardment, and warship collision may lose most of the loss, and the final crossing of the river is probably only a few thousand.

They were then blocked by the defenders of the stall, and even if they held a beachhead, they would not be able to wait for the second group to cross the river, and they would be annihilated.

The Yangtze River is wide, and the river is four or five miles narrow, and the ships rush south from the north bank, at least half an hour, and this time is enough for the Ming army to mobilize troops to solve the Wei army on the beachhead.

Zheng Sen knew that the Wei army did not have many large ships, and it was definitely not enough to transport two waves in a row, and when the ships returned to the north shore and then transported the troops, the daylilies would be cold.

The Yangtze River moat has always been an important reliance for the Southern Dynasties to defend against the Northern Army, Zheng Sen's words made Zhu Cihong's heart settle down a little, and he used the clairvoyant mirror to look at the Wei army camp opposite, and his heart was no longer panicked.

Zhu Cihong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine, when Huguang's 20,000 soldiers and horses come back to help, the Yangtze River will be worry-free." ”

In that year, Qin's 800,000 troops went south to attack the Jin Kingdom, but in the end they were defeated by tens of thousands of Jin soldiers.

Now the enemy is strong and I am weak, the situation is similar to this time, Gao Yihuan is like that Fu Jian, and he will replace the Eastern Jin Dynasty side in his own place.

Zhu Cihong put down the clairvoyant mirror, as long as he could block the Wei army in the north of the Yangtze River, he would have the opportunity to move back in Huguang.

Gao Yihuan only met with He Tengjiao once, and the rest of the matter was handed over to Chen Mingxia to entangle with him, and he reinvested his energy in crossing the river.

In Gao Yihuan's big tent, the main generals and colonels of the Wei army and the army gathered together.

"The Yangtze River is vast, and to cross the river, in addition to the boats, is to choose the ferry, and how to break through the blockade of the Ming army's sailors." Gao Yihuan sat upright and asked, "Now, let's discuss one by one. ”

Gao Yihuan paused, "First of all, let's talk about ships. ”

Zhao Daxian clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, news has come from Kuaima that the naval warship has arrived in Huai'an, and it will arrive in Yangzhou in two days." ”

Gao Yihuan asked: "How many ships are there, are they all remodeled?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are one hundred and twenty ships, all of which have been transformed, including twenty large ships, each of which can carry more than 200 troops, and most of the remaining ships can only carry about sixty or seventy people." Chen Mingxia said: "In other words, these ships can transport about 10,000 people at a time. ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "If all these 10,000 people can go ashore, then the river crossing will definitely be successful, if there is only a small part, then the delivery capacity will be too poor." ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to the naval warships of Haizhou, we also captured more than 30 Ming Dynasty material ships in Gaoyou, plus the small boats collected by the army and the rafts that were tied, the ability to deliver at one time should be about 20,000."

Gao Yihuan groaned: "This is not enough, at least 30,000 people, and the raft must continue to be built." ”

Chen Mingxia clenched his fists and took the order, "The minister understands." ”

Gao Yihuan immediately said: "Let's talk about the location of the river crossing." ”

This time it was Zhao Daxian's report, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have studied the water pattern of the Yangtze River, consulted the fishermen along the river, and found three places that are more suitable for crossing the river. One is Guazhou, the second is Yizhen, and the third is Xijiangkou. ”

Gao Yihuan stood up and walked to the sand table, "Tell me your reasons." ”

Everyone got up to surround the sand table, and Zhao Daxian explained, "Your Majesty, Guazhou and Yizhen are really the same reason, the river here has turned a small bend to the south, causing the river to flow eastward, after hitting the river embankment, the water flows southward, and the boat can use the undercurrent to directly rush through the center of the river, saving the physical strength of the soldiers." The Xijiang estuary is because there is a river that joins the Yangtze River, and boats can also use the water potential to rush to the south bank. ”

Gao Yihuan looked at it, stroked his beard and said: "The Ming army warships are all over the Yangtze River, and once the sailor ships leave the Grand Canal and enter the Yangtze River, they will attract the attention of the Ming army." Therefore, the place to cross the river can only choose Yangzhou, Yizhen and Xijiangkou are no longer considered, and can be used for suspicious soldiers. ”

Zhao Daxian clenched his fists and took the order, "The minister understands." ”

Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone and asked the last question, "When the army crosses the river, the Ming army's sailors will inevitably intercept it, and the army will definitely suffer heavy losses at that time." Do you have any way to restrain the Ming army and reduce the casualties of the soldiers? ”

Everyone talked about it, and they didn't say anything about it, and finally Huang Bingzhong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that on the river, it is difficult for our army to defeat the Ming army, so we can only find a way on the shore?" ”

Gao Yihuan looked at him, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Huang Bingzhong walked to the sand table, picked up the wooden pole and pointed at Guazhou: "There is a fort in Guazhou, and the Ming army's naval division wants to intercept it, mainly in the area south of the heart of the river." After crossing the center of the river, it will be difficult for the Guazhou Fort to hit the Ming warships, but if we also build a fort on the south bank, and the two forts will attack from the north and south, echoing each other, we can play a suppressive role and control this section of the river, and the Ming naval division will be affected by the fort, which will reduce their threat to troop carriers. ”

Gao Yihuan stared at the sand table and pondered: "If there is no way on the water, there is only this strategy." However, in order to build a temporary artillery emplacement on the opposite side, it is necessary to have soldiers who have landed on the shore, occupy a large area of the river beach, and at the same time have to transport the cannons over. It's going to be a tough battle! ”

The soldiers in the big tent looked solemn and understood that the battle of crossing the river was not easy.

Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone, then waved his hand and said loudly: "The world has been in turmoil for decades, and the unification of the country is driven by the general trend. This battle will surely go down in history, and you should encourage me to attack as soon as the ships arrive two days later! ”
