Ma Xiangnan came very quickly, and the Chu army stationed in Baoqing, plus some other guards, internal security personnel, totaled almost 3,000 people, and it didn't matter to Ma Xiangnan whether Wu Xin's death was killed by Mo Luo or not. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If Mo Luo killed him, it can only be said that he is a stupid guy, such a guy is beneficial and harmless to the Chu army's plan to control the Shuntian Army in the future, if it is not killed by Mo Luo, it means that there is a huge conspiracy against the Chu people.

To this day, the small actions of the Chu people in Changyang County are impossible to hide from the Qi people, and the Qi people will naturally not sit idly by and watch this situation occur, they are not the opponent of the Chu people, and they cannot send their own troops on land, and the way to deal with it is nothing more than two, one is to force the Yue court to attack, but from the action of the Yue Jing City to agree to recruit the Anshun Heavenly Army, the Qi people's actions in the Yue Jing City have not been effective, and the Yue Jing City is now powerless. Then there is only the second and only option left, which is to help the Taiping army of Shayang County attack Changyang County and defeat Moluo, which will naturally make all the work of the Chu people in the early stage be abandoned.

So far, although the Chu people have gained a firm foothold in Baoqing, the sea routes are unimpeded, and an endless stream of personnel and materials are gathering towards Baoqing, but from the perspective of the whole situation, the Taiping Army of Shayang County chosen by the Qi people undoubtedly has the upper hand.

The defeated Shuntian army was forced to retreat back to Changyang County, which was not a big deal in Ma Xiangnan's view, and with the strong support of the Chu people and the training of the Chu officers, the Shuntian army's counterattack was just around the corner.

But Wu Xin's matter has suddenly expanded the original crisis, and now it is not a matter of whether the Shuntian Army can still survive in Changyang County, but whether the Chu people can stay in Baoqing. Once the Shuntian army is defeated, it only controls the Chu army of Baoqing, if it deals with the Taiping army that is constantly fighting? No matter how smooth the sea passage is, it will definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of consumption.

No matter from which point of view, helping the Suncheon army through this crisis is a task that does not allow Ma Xiangnan to hesitate at all. The Chu army that poured out of the nest did not have the slightest reservation, and now they and the Shuntian army are both prosperous and lossy.

"There are nearly 30,000 people in the Wu Department of this rebellion, all of whom were personally trained by Wu Xin, Wu Shixiong and Wu Ling are Wu Xin's old departments, and they are officers in the county soldier system, but they can't be underestimated because they are county generals, Changyang County was rampant in the past, and the combat experience of these generals is not weak at all, especially in the Changyang Mountains, which is the terrain they are most familiar with." Jiang Tao raised his head and looked at Mo Luo on the opposite side: "Just like Wu Xin, although he is a general of the county soldiers, his talent is far superior to most generals in the country. Among the commanders of these three troops, the only weakness is Lu Yifan, who is now attacking Pingdu, this person used to be just a runner, and after participating in the Shuntian Army, he had no actual experience in commanding operations, and this time he suddenly commanded an army of 10,000 people, I think, he will be the focus of a breakthrough for us. ”

The unceremonious analysis made Mo Luo's face a little hot, but when he thought that Wu Xin was now dead, that little bit of anger would also disappear, and death was great, what he wanted to do most now was to defeat the rebels, and secondly, to find the person who framed him, and why Wu Xin died under the Bihai Shengchao Exercise, which was really a secret that was difficult for him to solve.

Jiang Tao didn't mean to take care of Mo Luo's face, and continued: "Among the three armies, the strongest is naturally the middle army led by Wu Shixiong, which is Wu Xin's pro-army, whether it is equipment, combat effectiveness, or morale, it is the strongest. ”

"I'll deal with them personally!" Moro gritted his teeth.

"No, my lord, Wu Shixiong will be dealt with by me personally." Jiang Tao shook his head and said.

Bao Hua, who had been silent all the time, was already holding his breath, but when he heard Jiang Tao's words, he couldn't help but burst out again: "General Jiang, do you mean to say that the king is not the opponent of Wu Shixiong, and only you can stop him?" ”

Jiang Tao straightened up, looked at Bao Hua, ignored him, and turned his head to look at Mo Luo again: "King, I said earlier that this army must be the one with the highest morale among the three troops, because they are all Wu Xin's personal guards, and they have been with Wu Xin for a long time, and they have a deep relationship. ”

Morrow's face was a little ugly.

"In their eyes, their general was killed by you. If you appear in front of them, it will only stimulate their fighting spirit, which will not do us any good, because the reality is that their current military strength is stronger than ours. Jiang Tao then added a sentence mercilessly.

Mo Luo was silent for a moment, and said: "You have a point, I will deal with Lu Yifan, strive to defeat him in a battle, and then return to the division to help you." ”

"No, you need to deal with Wu Ling." Jiang Tao shook his head and said: "Wu Ling is also a general, and he has a very good operational command, General Bao Hua will deal with him, I don't worry, you know, we can divide it to deal with Wu Ling, at most there will be no more than 10,000 people, and mountain battles are commonplace for Wu Shixiong and Wu Ling." They're very good at it. ”

was stepped on by Jiang Tao mercilessly, Bao Hua was furious, and jumped up suddenly: "King, the last general asks for orders to fight Wuling, if he loses, he is willing to come to see him." ”

"Your head can't offset the damage that might come from defeat." Without waiting for Mo Luo to speak, Jiang Tao said coldly: "General Bao, your opponent is Lu Yifan, you take five thousand men and horses to Pingdu, Pingdu City is built on the mountain, and the Pingdu River flows through the front, the first thing you do after you go is to chisel the ice, now the ice is not too thick, and it is not too difficult to chisel through it." When the Pingdu River flows, there is not much room for Lu Yifan to attack, you just need to stick to Pingdu City and wait for the news of victory from the other two directions. ”

Bao Hua's face turned pale with anger, this was simply a naked insult, he was panting, staring at Jiang Tao viciously, but Jiang Tao didn't look at him at all, and said to Mo Luo: "King, you take 15,000 men and horses to meet Wu Ling, I will take the remaining 3,000 people and the 3,000 Chu troops brought by Lord Ma to stop Wu Shixiong, the key to the victory of this battle lies in whether you can defeat Wu Ling." As long as you defeat Wu Ling as quickly as possible, and then join forces with me to encircle Wu Shixiong, this battle will be won. That Lu Yifan is not empty, these two ways are a victory, this person will flee if he does not surrender. ”

"General Jiang, are you sure that you only bring this little bit of men and horses to meet Wu Shixiong?" Morrow was a little worried.

"Don't worry!" Jiang Tao smiled. "I won't fight Wu Shixiong, just hold on, our biggest enemy is probably not Wu Shixiong, but the Taiping Army that will inevitably follow, that is our fierce enemy, so this battle, how quickly we can defeat the opponent, will determine how much time we have to prepare for the decisive battle with the Taiping Army, once the time drags on for a long time, even if we win Wu Shixiong, we will inevitably lose to the Taiping Army in the end."

This is the problem that everyone is most worried about, now the Taiping army has not moved, it does not mean that they have not moved, to defeat Wu Shixiong as quickly as possible, and to defeat Wu Shixiong with the smallest loss, and then rely on the terrain to deal with the Taiping army, in this cold and freezing weather, the Taiping army whose supply line is stretched will not be durable.

"General Jiang just talked about the military aspects, now I will talk about other aspects." Ma Xiangnan said: "King, last time you released Zhang Jian and decided to recruit An, it can be regarded as giving Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Ning a big face, and it can be regarded as forming a good fate, and now it is time to send someone to find him." ”

"Looking for him?" Mo Luo smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that he can't wait for me to be eaten by the Taiping Army." ”

"Nope." Ma Xiangnan shook his head: "Zhang Ning is the left minister of a country, he has his vision, not to mention that Zhang Jian's capture is a handle he holds in your hands, just if we are defeated by the Taiping army, Changyang County falls into the hands of the Taiping army, which is also what he never wants to see." Because if such a thing happens, then the Taiping army in the future will definitely have the ability to threaten Yuejing, so whether it is for private or public purposes, Zhang Ning will definitely take action. If we can muddy this water, and drag the court into this muddy water, it will not be a bad thing for us. Maybe we can find a way out of this chaos. ”

Mo Luo's eyes lit up: "Master Ma is right. It's worth a try. I immediately sent someone to sneak to Yuejing City to see Zhang Ning, whether it was a threat or a pray, I must let Zhang Ning make a move, if the imperial court can send troops to Shayang County, the Taiping army will definitely not care about the trouble that comes to us, Zhang Ning has always coveted Shayang County. ”

"Of course, it's best to be like that, but this is not very likely, the threat is possible, and the biggest possibility is Zhengyang County. Hasn't the Suncheon Army been recruited? If the Taiping Army really came out after Wu Shixiong, then it had to worry about whether the Vietnamese army from Zhengyang County would stab him in the back road. Even if the two sides can't fight, as long as they can slow down the advance of the Taiping army, it will be of great benefit to us. ”

"Master Ma is reasonable, military and political, both pronged." Jiang Tao clenched his fists and looked at everyone: "King, the success or failure of life and death depends on this time, if you can get through the difficulties once, then I believe that the Shuntian Army will become stronger and stronger."
