Huaidong has secret posts in Huizhou, Yuling Pass and other places, but the news of the high water risk in western Zhejiang and Huinan mountains and the loss of Huangtianzhai reached Mingzhou, and it was already late on the 18th, but there was no official news coming.

Fu Qinghe sent a boat to Mindong to spread the rumor, he called Hu Zhiyong and Liang Wenzhan to sit in Mingzhou, he personally rushed to Xiaoshan, sent someone to Fuyang to spread the news, told Meng Yishan the news of the loss of Huangtianzhai, and invited Meng Yishan to meet in Xiaoshan to discuss countermeasures.

The Hanghu Army has cleared the obstacles on the periphery of Tonglu and is proceeding to storm Tonglu City. Fu Qinghe, as Huaidong's general camp in eastern Zhejiang, is not under Meng Yishan, and the news of the loss of Huangtianzhai is not trivial, Meng Yishan did not take a shelf after seeing the envoy sent by Fu Qinghe, and asked Su Pinxiao to sit on the periphery of Tonglu, he took Hangzhou to judge the king's covenant, took a naval warship, and personally rushed to Xiaoshan at noon on the 19th to meet Fu Qinghe; Chen Huawen, who was staying in Hangzhou, also urgently crossed the river.

Meng Yishan also attached importance to the collection of military intelligence information by scouts and sentinels. Although he did not send people to Huizhou and Yuling Pass, there were secret outposts that infiltrated Chun'an, Tongziwu, Wuyuan and other places to collect intelligence, and knew the fact that the Zhejiang-Fujian army was unusual, sent troops from Tongziwu to the north along Daqingxi, and attacked Yuyan -- this abnormal movement of the Zhejiang-Fujian army in western Zhejiang can only be explained by the loss of Huangtianzhai.

The main force of the Huinan Army has all entered the Daqingxi River Valley, and Huangtianzhai has gained and lost, so that the rear road of the Huinan Army has been blocked, and there is a worry that the whole army will be annihilated - if the 20,000 elites of the Huinan Army are annihilated by the Zhejiang and Fujian Army, this situation will be too tricky and too bad.

The loss of Huangtianzhai is not important for Meng Yishan and Chen Huawen not to pay attention to.

"There is no news from Huizhou to this moment, presumably Jiangning is also in the dark, what is Xie Chaozhong eating?" Chen Huawen led the troops all the year round, and also developed a fiery temper, and directly questioned Xie Chaozhong, the commander of the middle lane soldiers and horses appointed by Emperor Yongxing, without any disguise.

"Wen Guo pretends to be wrong, and the common disease is also, Xu is Feng Anbo plans to recapture Huangtian Village, and then explain the details to Jiang Ning together." Wang Yue said.

When arguing about Xie Chaozhong's leading of the troops, Meng Yishan and other generals of the Hanghu Army were all on Chen Xiyan's side.

Chen Huawen, Chen Mingzhe and other key figures of the Haiyu Chen family have a close relationship with Chen Xiyan; At that time, the town of Ning Navy was Jiyang, and Chen Xiyan, who retired from Jiyang, also had close contacts with Meng Yishan, and then transferred Dong Yuan out of northern Zhejiang, using Meng Yishan as a general, and Chen Xiyan was also a force to disagree with the public; And Su Pinxiao's ability to lead the Bai Nao Army and the Haiyu Army to co-compile was directly contributed by Chen Xiyan - although Yu Xinyuan vaguely overpowered Chen Xiyan within the Wu Party, his biggest influence on the Hanghu Army was Wang Yue.

Wang Yue, as a young official of the Wu Party, entered northern Zhejiang with Chen Mingzhe and others to take up important positions and served as the general judge of Hangzhou Prefecture, and after Yu Xinyuan and Chen Xiyuan broke apart, Wang Yue took on the responsibility of supervising the army with the post of Hangzhou Provincial Governor and the leader of the Hanghu Army, which was all the credit of Yu Xinyuan's strong recommendation.

Wang Yue didn't know the details of the middle road, but at this time, he couldn't help but defend Xie Chaozhong.

"This battle is carried out in many ways, all roads are either smooth or negative, all of which are involved in one hair and the whole body, and the West Zhejiang Road is also related to the consideration of the use of troops by the Hanghu Army, the Huaidong Army and the Jiangzhou Army," Meng Yishan said with a gloomy face and a cold voice, "There is such a big leak on the West Zhejiang Road, how can you cover up the past so rashly?" ”

"It's useless to talk about this now," Fu Qinghe said, "If Huangtianzhai can't be recaptured in time, let's think more about the consequences!" ”

Fu Qinghe opened a martial arts hall in his early years, served as a nurse for the singer Su Mei, and later rose in Huaidong with Lin Lian. If Fu Qinghe personally presided over the war, there was only the battle of Xisha Island, and he suffered heavy losses under the attack of pirates, and his military exploits were not famous, but Lin Jian used him to sit in eastern Zhejiang for many years, and he was able to suppress the famous generals such as Canghai and Zhou in eastern Zhejiang, and naturally he could not tolerate others to be contemptuous.

Those who are good at fighting have no great battles, and Fu Qinghe can arrange the military affairs of eastern Zhejiang in an orderly manner, so that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops have no opportunity to take advantage of it, which is far beyond the reach of those scholars and scholars who talk about soldiers on paper.

"What Master Fu said is very true," Chen Huawen said, "If Huangtianzhai cannot be recaptured in time, the Huinan army will be cut off from the back road, and there is a risk that the whole army will be destroyed, and this consequence is really extraordinary." ”

"Hanghu and Huaidong have to take some precautions, but the top priority is to send fast horses to Jiangning to inform Xie Chaozhong of the concealment of military information, and if there is any big disposition, we have to wait for Jiangning to have an order!" Meng Yishan said.

"The Huinan Army is in danger of being destroyed, if the Huinan Army is destroyed, can Xie Chaozhong hold Yuling Pass?" Fu Qinghe said, "Everything is waiting for Jiang Ning's edict, I'm afraid it's too late to ......" Fu Qinghe pointed to the key point, and directly questioned whether Xie Chaozhong had the ability to guard Yuling Pass.

In his early years, Xie Chaozhong escorted King Ning south to the domain, and was only the commander of a battalion of soldiers and horses; After King Ning arrived in Jiangning, the guard camp was expanded, and Xie Chaozhong served as the commander, which was equivalent to the general of a town; King Ning succeeded to the throne, Xie Chaozhong served as the commander of the imperial camp army, held great power, and became one of the few leading generals in Dayue who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Tie - from the battalion command of 600 soldiers to the power of 100,000 soldiers, Xie Chaozhong rose too fast and had no foundation, and lacked enough actual experience in leading and governing the army.

If you want to talk about the experience of governing the army, in Fu Qinghe's opinion, Chen Huawen is far more reliable than Xie Chaozhong.

Chen Huawen was born as a scholar, but in his early years, he led the township soldiers to resist pirates, and also experienced many wars, although he did not have outstanding military achievements, he also developed the Haiyu army step by step, and his actual experience in governing the army and his prestige among ordinary generals were not comparable to Xie Chaozhong.

"Is Master Fu a little worried," Wang Yue smiled reluctantly, "General Deng Yu said back then that the danger of Yuling Pass would be enough to be defended by a thousand soldiers and horses. The facts are just like what General Deng Yu said, Luxury Fei Xiong is known as the first brave general in Fujian, and he has fought Yuling Pass for many years, when did he get Yuling? Even if you can't recapture Huangtianzhai and take over the Huinan army, Feng'anbo has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial camp, and you should be sure to defend Yuling Pass...... According to the subordinate officials, Huaidong's soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang and the Hanghu army should go all out to attack Dongyang and Tonglu, and only in this way can they relieve pressure for General Deng Yu. According to what Master Fu said, even if he didn't wait for Jiang Ning's order, what preparations should Huaidong make? ”

"What preparations does Huaidong have to make?" Fu Qinghe said, "The Hanghu Army must first conquer Tonglu and then conquer Chun'an, so that it can deal with the Huinan Army trapped in the lower reaches of Daqing Creek; And Huaidong's soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang, if they want to respond to the southern Huinan army, they must continuously capture Dongyang, Lanxi, Quzhou and other fortified fortresses - if the luxury family intends to annihilate the southern Huinan army and open a gap from Huizhou, it will inevitably leave elite guards in Tonglu, Chun'an, Dongyang, Quzhou and other people, then no matter how fast our speed is, it is far less than directly transferring an elite army from the Hanghu Army or the Huaidong Army from Dusong Pass into Huizhou. As far as I can see, the Hanghu Army should immediately give up attacking Tonglu, transfer elite soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Dusong Pass or Qianqiu Pass, and then send people to Jiangning to ask for orders, even if there is any change, the response can be ...... in time."

Du Song Pass, Qianqiu Pass out is the north of Huizhou Stain Creek, Ningguo two counties, Fu Qinghe does not expect the Hanghu Army to open the way, let the Huaidong Army enter the Dusong Pass or Qianqiu Pass, he only hopes that the Hanghu Army can be prepared, even if Yuling Pass is really not guarded, as long as Meng Yishan has an elite and enters Ningguo in time, he can also block the Zhejiang and Fujian Army!

Although Ning Guocheng is not a dangerous pass like Yuling Pass, it is after all blocked by the northern gap of the two major mountain systems of Huaiyu Mountain and Yishan Mountain. Even if the Zhejiang-Fujian army dares to bypass Ningguo and attack Jiangning, it must also consider the future Huaidong Army and Hanghu Army to attack the rear road after Ningguo's division.

Meng Yishan knew that Fu Qinghe was always serious, but according to Fu Qinghe's words, the Hanghu Army would give up Tonglu and not say anything, and he would also bear the responsibility of transferring troops without authorization.

Dusong Pass, Qianqiu Pass, like Yuling Pass, are the key passes for the two Zhejiang provinces to enter Jiangning.

After the recovery of Fuyang, these two passes also became hinterland passes again, and after the establishment of the recruitment army in western Zhejiang, the jurisdiction of the two passes was also classified into the past.

Although Jiang Ning's distrust of foreign soldiers is exposed here, there is nothing in itself. These two passes are the key passes and key places to enter Jiangning, and it is normal for them to be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial army, but for Meng Yishan, he transferred heavy troops to gather near Dusong Pass and Qianqiu Pass without authorization, and the significance is not trivial.

If Emperor Yongxing is a sensible person, it is easy to say; If he didn't know what was going on, this hat would be buttoned up, and Meng Yishan would feel that he couldn't carry it.

Moreover, in order to fight Tonglu, the Hanghu army has already paid a heavy price, and at this time, Meng Yishan could not explain to the following generals.

In addition, the transfer of the Hanghu Army, Wang Yue, the envoy of the army, is not completely ornamental.

Meng Yishan pondered for a moment and said, "This matter must be ordered by Jiang Ning......

Fu Qinghe sighed in his heart, and said secretly: Huaidong's responsibilities have been fulfilled, and the next thing is to see if Jiang Ning has escaped the catastrophe with this luck......

Before Jiangning's order, the only thing that could really be deployed in advance was the Hanghu Army, which was the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses assembled by Huaidong in Hailing City, and it could not cross the border into the river area under the jurisdiction of Weiyang and Danyang.

"Then in that case, please ask General Meng to send someone to Jiangning as soon as possible to explain the details of Huangtianzhai's loss, and Huaidong will also send someone to Jiangning, and everything will wait for Jiangning's order," Fu Qinghe said, "But in any case, the Hanghu Army will assemble the garrisons scattered east of Hangzhou to the west, and it is always prepared......

Meng Yishan nodded, hitting the periphery of Tonglu, the Hanghu Army suffered a lot of casualties, and he also had the heart to transfer more troops and horses to the west, and then he had to be more careful in fighting Tonglu, not as fierce as a few days ago, even if it was surrounded first, if there was really any change, it would be convenient to withdraw.

Sending away Meng Yishan, Chen Huawen, Wang Yue and others, Fu Qinghe went directly to Shengzhou to join Ao Canghai, no matter how the Huaidong army rushed, it would fall behind the luxury family, it was better to honestly wait for the luxury family to take time out of the soldiers and horses in Zhejiang, and take Dongyang County first.

In addition, in eastern Mindong, the luxury family has given up all the coastal cities except Jin'an City, and the army and civilians have been fighting westward on a large scale, but the resistance in Jin'an City is very resolute, and Lin Tie cannot give up Jin'an City in eastern Mindong without fighting, and withdraw the soldiers and horses in advance.
