Chapter 47: Father and Son Talk About Danger
The situation has reached an extremely grim point for the luxury family, and the luxury Wenzhuang does not want to deny this. He has been in Zhejiang County to supervise the war.
In order to be able to control the war on the east and west fronts nearby, Luwenzhuang set up its line in Chun'an.
Tian Chang and Su Tingzhan rushed to Chun'an, only to find that Hao Feixiong and others had rushed from Wuyuan and other places first.
Chun'an is hidden between the mountains and mountains of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, although it is more than 300 miles apart, but the weather is much warmer than the Fuyang outside.
On the night of the arrival in Chun'an, Haowenzhuang only arranged a night banquet, but was not in a hurry to discuss the matter, but the generals were privately discussing the impact of the war in Xuzhou on the southern front.
Some people can realize Huaidong's delaying tactics, and some people still insist on believing that Huaidong and Jiangning will have a big battle with Yanhu in the area of Linzhou and Shouzhang, but the impact of the war in Xuzhou on the southern front is obvious.
Once the defensive line on the front line of Hehuai is stabilized, Huaidong and Jiangning will inevitably draw troops to attack Fuyang first.
Now Fuyang, Linshui and other places are under their control, and they can threaten Huiji and Xiaoshan to the southeast; To the east and north, they can threaten Hangzhou, Huzhou, and the prefectures and counties around the Taihu Lake, and to the northwest, they can threaten Huizhou and Jiangning -- as long as Fuyang, Linshui, and other places are in their hands, Jiangning and Huaidong will have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Huizhou, Hanghu, Huiji, and other places, and they will not dare to act rashly.
Once Fuyang, Linshui and other places fell, the Hanghu Army under Meng Yishan only needed a small number of soldiers and horses to plug this gap and hold Hanghu Lake and the counties around Taihu Lake; And Deng Yu's Huinan Army does not have to worry about the threat from Dusong Pass and Qianqiu Pass from the flank, but can focus on using troops from the Yuling Pass on the south side to Chun'an and Junyuan; Huaidong's soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang do not need to worry about the threat from Fuyang, but can focus more on using troops against Dongyang, Zhuji and other counties.
The offensive will change dramatically.
Naturally, they will not easily give up Fuyang, Linshui and other places, but if they really want to fight in Fuyang, the situation is quite unfavorable for them.
There are passages from Xiaoshan and Hangzhou to Fuyang, and if they want to support Fuyang, they can only take the Qianjiang waterway and send troops and supplies from Tonglu. Once Huaidong and the Hanghu Army join forces and have a strong force, they will be able to form an encirclement of Fuyang, and then block the Qianjiang waterway on the western front of Fuyang.
When the battle situation is deduced, it will only make people more frustrated.
Huaidong joined forces with the Hanghu Army, which could easily gather 100,000 soldiers and horses on the periphery of Fuyang, and supplies were supplied from Hangzhou, Huiji, Mingzhou and other places, which was very convenient; Even if they can gather 100,000 soldiers and horses in Fuyang to fight, what about the supply of 100,000 soldiers and horses?
It is not as good as when it occupied Mingzhou, Huiji, and Yongjia Mansions, and the grain, grass, clothing, armor and ordnance were relatively abundant, and at this time, 100,000 soldiers and horses should be gathered along the way, and only one item of food and grain was enough to make people feel worried.
The war in Fuyang doesn't have to be really fought, as long as it drags on for half a year, they will be unable to hold it first and withdraw their troops to abandon Fuyang.
The situation has reached the point where there must be a breakthrough on the Western Front.
**************
"Everyone else is waiting to see Huaidong and Yanhu lose in Linzhou and Shouzhang, but I know in my heart that this battle will not be won't be won. Beiyan was frustrated in Xuzhou, and his spirit was frustrated, so he would not rashly fight a tough battle, but Huaidong really wanted to fight, and Beihu still had an absolute advantage in the situation, how could Lin Jian rush to take risks in order to save the Liang family? β
In the room where the brazier was burned, it was as warm as spring, and Luxuryzhuang only summoned his eldest son, Haofei Xiong, to sit and talk indoors.
"Ganzhou is also extremely cold weather, our army lacks warm clothing, at this time, it will be unbearable to fight Ganzhou." Extravagant Fei Xiong led the troops in Wuyuan.
Although Luxury's village came to the north to supervise the war, the most important military power of the Luxury family in Zhejiang County was still in the hands of Haofeixiong.
After a series of impatience and rashness committed by the luxury family, the luxury family fell into a deeper passivity, and after the abduction of military power, within the luxury family, he has lost the qualification to compete with the luxury flying bear.
Within a force, there can never be only one voice, Luxury Fei Xiong has been leading troops all the year round, with prestige and prestige, and the position of the heir is stable, and Luxury Wenzhuang cannot ignore his opinion when making decisions.
"Huaidong won in Xuzhou with a risky strategy, which can no longer be done. The main reason is that Xuzhou is too important to the situation in Huaisi, and the gains and losses of Xuzhou are related to the safety of the northeast line of Huaizhou, and I think that in Lin Bin's heart, there is also the idea of 'although the situation is dangerous and forced to use strange, it is really helpless', "Luxury Wenzhuang is not in a hurry, Xu Xu said, "I also know that the conditions for us to seize Ganzhou are not mature, but the situation for us is also to the point where we have to take the sword and take a dangerous strategy......
Luxury Feixiong was silent and thoughtful, and Luxury Wenzhuang continued: "In the past, we may have thought that if we can't beat it, it's a big deal to return to Eastern Fujian, as long as we seal Xianxialing, we can still cut off Fujian, and maybe we can also instigate the Guangnan families to follow and cede the land and claim the king, but does the current situation allow us to do this?" β
Extravagant Feixiong sighed lightly and said: "When Zitan was here, he said that the benefits of the East China Sea were not taken seriously, and it was too late to regret it." He knew that it was useless for the soldiers of Fujian to retreat to Fujian and hold Xianxialing, but it was more convenient for Huaidong to concentrate the main force of troops and horses on the southern front to land from the coast of eastern Fujian and directly attack the heart of the luxury family. At that time, even if the luxury family still has more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses, but there is no land to raise soldiers, what can they talk about cutting land and becoming king?
But if the situation drags on like this, it can't be done.
In addition to the Quzhou Prefecture, which is located in the valley of central Zhejiang, almost all the grain and cotton land in southern and eastern Zhejiang was taken away by Huaidong, and although the territory they occupied in Zhejiang County was not smaller than that of Huaidong, it lacked grain fields and was not enough to maintain such a huge armament. Before Jiangning and Huaidong free up their hands, it is urgent to gain greater living space on the western front.
Lebensraum!
We can't finish a battle, we must fight for a larger living space in order to survive, and we can only survive in order to wait for the opportunity.
In the past two years, Huaidong has done nothing more than to compress and encroach on their living space in every possible way.
"The old thing is difficult to trace, and it is also my mistake," Hao Wenzhuang sighed bitterly, and said, "If you don't fight Ganzhou at this time, and drag it out until next spring, do you have the confidence to maintain your advantage in Fuyang?" As long as the situation in Hehuai is a little solid, after the spring of next year, Huaidong will use troops against Fuyang, and we must be able to attack the southern parts of Gannan first, then Fuyang will not be so important to us. β
"It's just that Ganzhou is difficult to fall suddenly," said Fei Xiong, "On the Eastern Front, we are stuck in too many troops, and we have to guard against Deng Yu's Huinan army, and we can only gather 50,000 troops and horses at most in Gongyuan to march westward." The Ganzhou system envoy has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to guard against the Jiangzhou system envoy to help, and 50,000 soldiers and horses are not enough! β
"Dongyang must be defended, not only to hold the grain land in the valley of central Zhejiang, but also to drag the Huaidong soldiers and horses on the eastern front as much as possible, but as long as the southern provinces and counties are captured, Fuyang is a chicken rib," said Yu Feizhuang, "At this time, Fuyang should be categorically abandoned, and 40,000 elite soldiers in Fuyang, Linshui and other places can be used." As long as Chun'an has 10,000 soldiers and horses, I will defend the back road for you and raise enough 100,000 elites for you, but you must take down Ganzhou within three months, otherwise my luxury family will die in the place of burial! β
"Give up Fuyang at this time?" Extravagant Feixiong was stunned for a moment, and gave up Fuyang without a fight, if it was unfavorable to attack Ganzhou, they would have no other choice but to retreat to Eastern Fujian. And once he retreats to Eastern Fujian, he will inevitably be tortured to death by Huaidong from the sea, which can really be described as "dying in the place of burial" as his father said!
The shock of the extravagant flying bear, the extravagant Wenzhuang was indifferent, he slowly talked about the arrangements after the occupation of Ganzhou: "I have been exhausted all these years, and after conquering Ganzhou, the eight clans will move some people to Ganzhou to gain a foothold in Ganzhou, control the Ganjiang River and Poyang Lake, and it can still be operated, and I will guard the remnants of eastern Fujian for you in the future!" β
Extravagant Fei Xiong Zhaoran saw that his father's sideburns were all snow-white, if it weren't for this, who would have put his luck on a decisive battle of attacking the city and grabbing the land with little chance of winning?
"The child will not fail his father's trust!" The Flying Bear pushed down and knelt on the ground, knocking his head three times.
"It's a big responsibility," Luxury Wenzhuang stretched out his hand to press Luxury Feixiong's shoulder, and said, "After this battle, I will go back to Jin'an, the Song family has been too restrained over the years, and it is not reassuring!" I'm not in Jin'an, I'm afraid no one can suppress Song Fu. β
Extravagant Feixiong asked in surprise: "If my extravagant clan is defeated, will the Song family be able to survive alone?" β
"Back then, I didn't approve of the marriage between the second child and Song Fu's daughter, but the second child was so fascinated that she didn't have a soul, that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I'm afraid that their father and daughter have already met behind our backs," said Luxury Wenzhuang, "If it weren't for the fact that the situation was really sinister in the middle of the year, how could I dare to leave Jin'an easily?" β
Extravagant Feixiong remembered that bright and bewitching face, and then he completely understood why the battle in Ganzhou had to be fought. If it drags on until the spring of next year, the war in Fuyang is at a critical juncture, and the Song family will be dealt a blow, and the luxury flying bear really doesn't know how much life the luxury family can have?
"When did my father notice that?" Fei Fei asked in a suppressed voice.
"No matter whether you notice it sooner or later, it's useless," Hao Wenzhuang shook his head and said, "Over the years, the Song family has almost given up Yongtai and moved to QuanzhouβI understand that Song Fu, the old fox, is just waiting for the price to sell." As long as you can defeat Ganzhou, I can barely suppress him, otherwise ......"
There is no need to say more than that, the Song family seems to have only a few thousand elites available in Quanzhou, but as long as the Song family throws their clan into Huaidong, and Huaidong gathers tens of thousands of troops to land from Quanzhou, it will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of all fronts of the luxury family, and there is no need to fight this battle.
"I couldn't stab that harmful goblin to death back then, leaving this scourge behind!" The Flying Bear pounded the ground hatefully.
