Chapter 855 Fleet

"What?" Many generals widened their eyes and expressed their surprise at Chai Yonghao's proposal, and even Chai Jin felt that Chai Yonghao's words were a bit long, and his ambition was ruined. The soldiers are not iron-clad, and if they attack in such turns, if they don't get enough rest, there will definitely be problems. However, Chai Keyan smiled, in fact, she was not much different from what Chai Yonghao thought, it was impossible to stop attacking at this time, if she stopped, I am afraid that the happiest person would be the **** gang. If there is a problem with the offense, then find a way to solve it, in short, stop, it is yourself who suffers.

"What? Do you think it's incredible? What the general said is very reasonable, do you know how much baggage is available in the army now? This queen clearly tells you that it will last for a month at most, and you don't have to count on Luoyang, Luoyang's baggage is also limited, so we have one month at most, more than a month, and at the end of September, if we can't beat Fenglingdu, we have to withdraw our troops anyway, what is the result of the army's food cutout, you can't know it, right? ”

Chai Keyan's words are somewhat appalling, in fact, the grain and grass in the army can still last for two months, but she doesn't want to delay it for so long, she must let the people under her command feel the pressure, otherwise she will attack and fight sloppily like before, and there is no hope for this battle to be fought in the end. After listening to Chai Keyan's narration, the generals showed a look of horror, and at this time they also knew why they were in a hurry to attack, "However, if the **** is heavily deployed, we just want to attack, and the price is too great." ”

"Of course you know this, what you have to do is to attack the defense line on the south bank of Fenglingdu with all your might, and nail all the soldiers and horses of Pang He and Xiao Yue to the position, you don't have to worry about other things" Speaking of this, Chai Keyan's expression was cold, and he slowly swept over all the generals present, "The pro-soldiers of this rear will serve as the supervising team, if anyone dares to retreat, go up to Chai Yonghao, down to the man, and kill him." ”

As the words fell, a group of majestic men stood up in an uproar and said in unison, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we should do our best to capture Fenglingdu, fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and never die...... Never die......"

Chai Keyan finally nodded with satisfaction, the discussion was over, and the generals left one after another with solemn expressions, and in the end, only Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin were left as the two brothers of their own family. If there is no other way, just rely on a frontal attack, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"Well, do you two know about the Zhang family in Jinxi?" Chai Keyan asked with a smile, Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin looked at each other and nodded, "Is the Queen Mother talking about the family of Zhang Siwei, a big businessman in Jinxi?" Of course I've heard of it, but what does this have to do with the Zhang family? ”

"You, always put your eyes on the battlefield, war is just a means of game, and there is no way to do it, many times, we look elsewhere, we can get some unexpected receipts" Chai Keyan didn't want to hide from these two henchmen, and slowly narrated his connection with the Zhang family in Jinxi. In the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial court suppressed the Guanlong aristocracy, resulting in the decline of the traditional Wang, Dugu, and Yang families. The Zhang family in western Jin is one of the leaders, the Zhang family is mainly in the wine, medicinal materials, fur business, plus the acting court official salt, before and after 70 years, after three generations, it has become one of the best wealthy families in the northwest region, and it is Zhang Siwei who is the master of the house in this generation. The Zhang family was in the limelight in Hedong and Guanzhong, but all this changed with Zhao Yougong's entry into Chang'an that year. Zhao Yougong occupied Chang'an, and then brought the Zhu family's foundation to Guanzhong, you must know that the Zhu family's main business is medicinal materials and rice grain business, coupled with the Zhu family's good business network, it has a unique advantage in terms of cloth, not to mention that with Zhu Lian, the Zhu family has a huge impact on the traditional industry of the Zhang family.

If that's all it is, the most important thing is the brewing industry of Qin Wangfu, which has caused the Zhang family's wine to have no sales at all, and three years ago, Zhu Lian was an official document to cancel the exclusive agency of Zhang's official salt in the northwest, but he asked for the Zhang family's own life. In fact, Zhu Lian also considered the overall situation, the official salt was concentrated in the hands of a small number of businessmen, resulting in the price of salt not being controlled, and the flood of private salt was caused by the high price of official salt. Zhu Lian asked for the method of the future generations from His Royal Highness Zhao, a large number of agents, unified pricing, although the profit is less, but the private salt trade is cut off, and the agents can also supervise each other, and there will be no dominance of the family. Zhu Lian's measures are a good thing for the people of the northwest and even the Great Song Dynasty, but for the Zhang family, it is a fatal knife, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the rise of the Qin Wangfu has directly made the status of the Zhang family plummet, and to this day, except for some medicinal materials and furs, the Zhang family has no profitable business at all. There is a way to cut off people's wealth like killing their parents, and if the Zhang family wants to rise again, the first thing to bring down is the Qin Palace. Therefore, when Chai Keyan set his sights on the Zhang family, Zhang Siwei almost happily agreed.

The Zhang family is a businessman, how can there be any soldiers and horses, but the Zhang family has a ship. The Zhang family's business traverses east and west, from Liangzhou to Bianliang, such a big business would not have been possible without a huge fleet. And Chai Keyan also took a fancy to the Zhang family's boat, and wanted to cross the Yellow River, how could he do it without a boat. Originally, these boats were Chai Keyan's killer weapon, and they were prepared to cross the river and attack the north bank, but now the battle situation is trapped on the south bank, and this trick has to be used in advance.

Due to Chai Keyan's strict orders, the rebels gathered more than 60,000 people to launch a fierce attack on the south bank position, and under the crazy attack of the rebels regardless of casualties, Pang He and Xiao Yue were under great pressure, and the life of the front-line soldiers was also miserable. No one knew what medicine the rebels had taken, and this attack was much more fierce than before, one by one, fearlessly attacking the defensive line. The **** soldiers guarded the last line of defense, and they had repelled the rebels countless times, but these people pounced again not long after they withdrew. The **** soldiers are bitter, the rebels are also scolding their mothers, and behind the buttocks is followed by a group of stern-faced warlords, who dares to take a step back, and directly drag it down and cut it down, until now, there is a general who has been cut down.

An urgent report was sent from the south bank to the north bank, and the entire Fenglingdu headquarters was full of busy atmosphere, Dongfang Jin had not closed his eyes for fourteen consecutive hours, and Zhao Yougong also had a pair of red eyes. Sanniang was afraid that Mu Niangzi would not take good care of her, so she returned to the headquarters from the front line early, looking at the urgent report sent by Pang He, she frowned and said, "The situation is too abnormal, it has only been four hours, and Pang He has already sent seven urgent reports, all of which say that the rebels are attacking fiercely and ask us to send reinforcements again." What's wrong with the rebels, if they continue to fight like this, even if they finally take the south bank defense line, the losses will be very serious. ”

Listening to Sanniang's words, Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong raised their heads at the same time, "What?" The South Shore has sent an urgent report again? Tsk, this is really weird, Pang He and Xiao Yue are both arrogant people, if it weren't for too much pressure, they would definitely not ask for reinforcements. ”

Knowing that Pang He and Xiao Yue were not the kind of people who were timid and afraid of things, Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong became extremely cautious, and the rebels' offensive was a little too abnormal. Chai Keyan should know that the real goal is to cross the north bank of Fengling, and now that the loss on the south bank is too serious, it will bring trouble to the future attack, such a simple truth, it is impossible for her not to understand. Zhao Yougong thought about it again and again, and said to Sanniang, "Go and find Tang Miao." ”

Tang Miao had been in charge of security matters in front, and when he heard Zhao Yougong looking for him, he hurriedly came to the command headquarters, Dongfang Jin replaced Zhao Yougong and asked straight to the point, "General Tang, how is the situation of the rebels' grain and grass?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Miao was a little surprised, he had already reported the details of the rebels' grain and grass, and he had reported it more than once, "Mr. Dongfang, what's wrong?" However, Tang repeatedly confirmed that the rebels' baggage was concentrated in Shangzhou and Hanguguan respectively, and if the rebels were saved, they would be able to support at least two months. ”

"Are you sure that the grain and grass can last for two months?" Dongfang Jin asked again with a serious expression, Tang Miao was a little embarrassed by the question, stood up straight and said loudly, "Mr. Dongfang, this information has been confirmed by the secret hall and the intelligence department, Tang dares to make a military order, if there is any accident, Tang voluntarily cut off his head." ”

Seeing Tang Miao's appearance, Zhao Yougong raised his hand and said, "Old Tang, why are you in a hurry, don't you mean that?" It's just that the stakes are big, and there have been strange things recently, so I have to confirm it again and again. ”

Tang Miao was sulking, but Dongfang Jin was worried about it, he didn't pay attention to Tang Miao at all, pulling his hair and talking to himself as if he was half crazy, "No, no, if the grain and grass can last for two months, the rebels can't attack in such a hurry, what's going on?" ”

Tang Miao was originally very unhappy, but seeing Dongfang Jin's appearance, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and seemed to see the doubts in Tang Miao's heart, Sanniang explained in a low voice, "You don't know, it's only been four hours, and seven urgent reports for help have been sent from the south bank. I think the rebels should attack like crazy, otherwise with the ability of the two generals Pang He and Xiao Yue, plus Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng and others, they would never be under so much pressure. ”

"Hey, there's such a thing?" Tang Miao couldn't help frowning secretly, he now somewhat understood why Dongfang Jin would repeatedly ask about the grain and grass. Seven consecutive emergency reports for help, what kind of duty were you forced to do this? I think the rebels are also desperate at all costs, but if it weren't for the knife on the neck, would the rebels need to do this? Could it really be that there is a problem with the grain and grass, but it is impossible, half an hour ago, the intelligence department and the dark hall jointly sent a letter, and there was nothing abnormal in Hanguguan and Shangzhou. It's not that the Intelligence Department and the Secret Hall have never thought about destroying the rebels' food and grass, but one is that the other side is tightly guarded, and the other is that the Intelligence Office has a limited number of personnel, so it is impossible to do such a big thing. After thinking for a long time, Tang Miao frowned and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates can be sure that there is no problem with the rebels' grain and grass, if there is an emergency, it can't be a problem with grain and grass, could it be that something happened in Luoyang?" ”

"No, if something big happens in Luoyang, the rebels should retreat to Shangzhou and Hangu Pass, and it is impossible to desperately attack the defense line on the south bank. Judging from the current situation, something must have happened! Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong are very sure of this, but they can't figure out what the problem is if they want to break their heads, and they don't know the intentions of the Chai clan, so it is naturally impossible to easily mobilize troops and horses to the south bank to help, after all, the north bank is the top priority of defense.

The Yellow River is surging, the turbid water is accompanied by the momentum of the earth-shattering waves, and when the evening comes, when the sunset slowly sinks, a huge fleet of ships appears in the southeast of the Fengling Ferry. Maybe this fleet is nothing compared to the Ding**** naval army, but in this pass, the Yellow River area is definitely amazing. This is the fleet of the Zhang family across the Yellow River, but now it is not loaded with goods connecting the north and south, but a boatload of soldiers and horses. Chai Keyan stood on the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the dim flowing clouds in the sky, and soon after, this surprise would definitely make Zhao Ling unable to sleep. How many times have I dreamed at night, I hope that this man will be obediently by my side, and when he wakes up, he will laugh at himself, if even Zhao Ling can stay obediently, then he is not Zhao Ling. The south wind blows, it is warm, the summer in the northwest land is like this, except for the rain can bring the meaning of moisture, the rest of the time, let you east and west, north and south wind, bring dry heat. The wind doesn't stop, the boat is moving, the place Chai Keyan wants to go is the big camp on the south bank, with 5,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, she has 100,000 confidence that she can turn Pang He's rear upside down, as long as Pang He's grain and grass are occupied, what else is there to be afraid of this ****? The **** is strong, but if there is no food, what is the difference between them and ordinary people?

thought that when night came, the rebels' offensive would be weak, but to Pang He's disappointment, the rebels showed no signs of stopping the attack at all, and the most important thing was that the north bank did not send a single soldier, and some only defended. An order is an order, and Pang He and Xiao Yue can't and dare not blame Zhao Yougong, because they also know Zhao Yougong's difficulties. The battle ahead was urgent, Pang He and Xiao Yue couldn't wait to kill the enemy in person, let alone others, at this time, all the soldiers and horses pounced, and there was not even a little reserve left, that's it, the pressure was still very high. Hu Yanzhuo's Eastern Front has fallen no less than five times, and in repeated battles, both sides have suffered heavy casualties.

When night came, the huge fleet finally docked on the shore unexpectedly, Chai Keyan was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword, and his expression was solemn and majestic, "Chai Jin, send people ashore, after entering the camp, first take the rear grain depot, and then divide the troops and horses to attack the eastern defense area." Be sure to take the eastern defense area within half an hour and squeeze the main force of the thief army to the west. ”

"Yes" Chai Jin showed a hint of excitement in his tone, at this moment he seemed to see victory, and saw how the **** in front of the army fled in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
