Xie Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yu Xinyuan to suggest that he lead the army to Jiangxi to fight the luxury family, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Yu Bijiang was also stunned, and then slapped his leg and praised: "It should have been like this a long time ago, Chen Xiyan bullied everything, but he didn't bully Brother Xie for not having military exploits......

In addition to strategically making it difficult for the luxury family to take care of each other, there is also a far-reaching intention, which is to divide the situation of Huaidong and balance the current situation facing Jiangning, so as to prevent Huaidong from winning another big victory and completely forming a trend that cannot be lost.

Chen Xiyan intended to use Yue Lengqiu to use troops against Yuzhang in Jiangzhou, and at this time proposed to reduce the money and food of the imperial camp army, and streamline the administration of the imperial camp army, so that Jiangzhou could free up more space for the use of troops.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Huaidong's use of troops against Mindong or Dongyang County after the autumn has basically been made public.

About 50,000 soldiers belonging to the Huaidong Workers' Battalion are gathering in Shengzhou, Mingzhou, Hengyang, Yongjia, and Zhuxi, Yizhou.

The expansion plan of the Chongcheng Army, the Changshan Army, and the Jinghai First and Second Water Battalions has been submitted to Jiangning for the record, and Lin Jian also asked Zhou Tong, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan, Ge Cunxin, and other generals to add the rank of commander of cavalry and captain of light chariot.

Each army of the Chongcheng Army and the Changshan Army will be expanded to 50 battalions of the 10th Brigade, with a full quota of 30,000 cavalry infantry and auxiliary soldiers, the first and second water battalions will be expanded to 15 battalions, and each army will have a full quota of 15,000 auxiliary soldiers such as war soldiers and shipwrights and sailors.

Although Lin Jian is still sitting in Xuzhou and stabilizing the defense line of Xusi, he may go to eastern Zhejiang at any time to preside over military affairs.

The southern front is uneasy, Huaidong has no possibility of using troops against Yan Lu on the northern line, and now the wanton expansion of the army on the southern front is aimed at the extravagant family's wanton use of troops in Jiangxi at this time.

The strength of the luxury family in eastern Fujian gradually shrank to Jin'an Mansion, but Jin'an Mansion is the foundation of the eight Fujian forces, even if Luxury Wenzhuang has the determination to save the survival with a broken arm, it is impossible to ignore the interests of other surnames.

Jin'an Mansion is a place that the rebels of Zhejiang and Fujian must defend.

Huaidong can not only use troops against Jin'an Mansion on the southern front, but also can forcibly capture Dongyang County, occupy Quzhou Mansion, drive out the Zhejiang-Fujian army from the central valley of Zhejiang, and then attack Xianxialing in the south and western Zhejiang in the north, and completely recover Zhejiang County.

Dongyang County is also a place that the Zhejiang-Fujian army must defend.

Under such a situation, the luxury family could only suspend the offensive in Jiangxi, tolerate the remnants of Pan Qifeng's continued to occupy the southern Gan region and resist stubbornly, and draw troops to strengthen the defense of Dongyang County and Jin'an Mansion on the eastern front.

Huaidong has a large number of sea ships that can be called, which can realize the rapid transfer of large-scale troops and horses along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian; In comparison, although the distance of the internal line of the Zhejiang-Fujian army is short, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the movement of troops and horses is far less flexible than that of Huaidong, and it is much more clumsy.

In order to prevent the sudden fierce offensive of Huaidong, the luxury family could only act in advance, and Jiangning had already made a solid report, confirming that the soldiers and horses of the luxury family in Yuzhang and other central and northern Jiangxi regions had been transferred to the inner line on a large scale.

Yue Lengqiu also believed that once Huaidong launched an offensive on the eastern front, the luxury family would not have more than 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangxi, and it was indeed a good opportunity to send troops from Jiangzhou to the south to recover Yuzhang and other places.

Now Yue Lengqiu has only 60,000 troops in Jiangzhou, but relatively speaking, the luxury family has to defend many cities in Jiangxi, and the troops are distributed, while Yue Lengqiu only needs to defend Jiangzhou, Hukou and other limited cities.

Of course, if we make good use of the last two or three months to strengthen the troops and horses on the Jiangzhou side, we will have a greater chance of victory. The luxury family did not have the ability to counterattack in Jiangxi, and it was unfavorable to send troops to Yuzhang, and it was still guaranteed to retreat to Jiangzhou if they were frustrated.

Whether it is Huaidong's or Jiangzhou's plan to send troops, it is not a secret matter for Yu Xinyuan, Xie Chaozhong, and Yu Bijiang.

Huaidong has 120,000 troops on the Eastern Front, Yue Lengqiu can mobilize 60,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, and the total number of troops of the Hanghu Army and the Huinan Army has also reached 60,000.

With the Huaidong Hundred Battles Heroic Division as the main force to attack luxury, the officials in Jiangning who are currently aware of the secret affairs are full of confidence in the plan for using troops on the southern front after the autumn. The only thing to worry about is probably that after the autumn, will Yanhu take the opportunity to storm and defend the Huai defense line, and can Xu Si, Huaixi, and Nanyang hold it?

Even Xie Chaozhong didn't think that the luxury family would survive this winter, but he didn't think that he would lead the troops to the battle.

After being reminded by Yu Xinyuan and Yu Bijiang's father and son, Xie Chaozhong can also understand the root cause of his bullying by Chen Xiyan at this time, which is also the reason why he rose too fast, except for the emperor's family, and lacked a foundation in Jiangning.

Once he loses the emperor's favor in the future, Xie Chaozhong has no room for struggle at all, and he will be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and there will be no possibility of raising his head. And Yue Lengqiu was able to quickly make a comeback to Dujiangzhou after his resignation, isn't it because of the deep foundation he has accumulated over the years?

Xie Chaozhong's mouth was dry, and he suddenly felt that Yu Xinyuan's question was difficult for him to answer.

"Why don't you grasp it, I also earned the position of the commander of the guard camp by virtue of my military exploits," Xie Chaozhong said stubbornly, he would not give in in front of Yu Xinyuan and Yu Bijiang, and said, "Chen Xiyan, that old horseman, how could he let me lead the imperial battalion to the battle?" Besides, it is impossible to ask Yue Lengqiu to give up his seat and let me be in charge of the war in Jiangzhou. If you give Yue Lengqiu as a deputy, I won't do this kind of work for a little lady......" It's like the first lie is the most difficult to say, the first lie is spoken, and then it's easy to say anything, when it comes to this, Xie Chaozhong himself feels that he is buried.

"The use of troops in Huaidong and Jiangzhou is to beat both ends with a stick, and the plan for using troops has been proposed, and it has the support of the emperor and the prime ministers, and it is difficult to overthrow," Yu Xinyuan frowned and said, "Why can't you beat both ends with a stick and stab the waist again?" ”

"Huizhou?" Xie Chaozhong asked.

Huinan is not only the south of Jiangning, from the Yuling Pass in Huinan to the south, it is the hinterland of western Zhejiang, and it is the back road of the luxury family in Jiangxi, and now Deng Yu is leading 20,000 soldiers in Huinan to guard it.

In the plan to use troops after the autumn, Deng Yu's soldiers and horses in Weinan and Meng Yishan's Hanghu Army undertook the task of disturbing the flanks - theoretically, it was also a good strategy to fight from Huinan, but Jiangning could only give priority to ensuring that Jiangzhou could be fully strengthened after the autumn. If another front is opened in southern Huinan to take the initiative to fight, the pressure on Jiangning will be too great, and it is very likely that both sides will not be fully strengthened.

Yu Xinyuan proposed it at this time, it was also well thought out, and it was also the only feasible strategy at present, Xie Chaozhong led his troops to Huinan, and it was not a problem to suppress Deng Yue, and the luxury family's troops in western Zhejiang were the weakest.

Yu Pijiang patted his thigh with his hand and said: "Father's strategy is really wonderful, Brother Xie led the imperial camp army to Huinan, Chen Xiyan probably has no excuse to reduce the imperial camp army." If we really let Yue Lengqiu and Huaidong work together to exterminate the luxury family, this Jiangning still has our face to pose, right? ”

Xie Chaozhong also seriously thought about this problem, sending troops from Huinan can avoid the main force of the luxury family, transfer half of the soldiers and horses from the imperial camp army to Huinan, and there will be 60,000 soldiers with Deng Heal, and the total number of troops of the luxury family in western Zhejiang is less than 20,000, no matter how you fight, you are not afraid of losing?

After gaining military exploits, you don't have to look at the faces of Chen Xiyan and Cheng Yuqian in the future, isn't life happy?

"What my uncle said is really a brilliant idea." The more Xie Chaozhong thought about it, the more excited he became, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the small table in the pavilion, and in a moment of excitement, he actually smashed a corner of the stone table.

Yu Xinyuan and Yu Bijiang were shocked, but they didn't expect him to punch down so powerfully.

Xie Chaozhong was originally a military general, and he accumulated merit to the commander of the guard camp of King Ning's Mansion, and his martial arts were also first-class in the world. It's just that after arriving in Jiangning, he was afraid that others would look down on his status as a military general, and he would be a vassal and elegant, and even Yu Xinyuan and Yu Pijiang's father and son had never seen his martial arts.

Xie Chaozhong smashed the stone table with one punch, which made Yu Xinyuan surprised and delighted, and said: "Chaozhong is really an unparalleled brave general in the world, although he is in a high position in Jiangning, he can't make war exploits to serve the court, it's too condescending to you!" He added, "But this matter is not urgent, you have to plan carefully......

Don't say that Emperor Yongxing will not easily allow Xie Chaozhong to lead his troops out of Beijing, and the ministers above the temple who really hold the power of affairs, Chen Xiyan, Cheng Yuqian, Lin Xuwen and others will inevitably stand up against it. If Yu Xinyuan or Xie Chaozhong rashly put it forward, and thought about what the result would be with their fingers, there must be people in the temple who can support each other, and there must be enough weight, and there must be momentum.

"The problem on the emperor's side may not be big," Yu Xinyuan frowned and said, "The emperor didn't trust foreign soldiers in the first place, Chen Xiyan proposed to streamline the imperial army and strengthen Jiangzhou to prepare for the war after the autumn, but it was not realized at this time, and the emperor was quite worried, and Cheng Yuqian was not a problem, the key was Chen Xiyan and Lin Xuwen, the two roadblockers......"

Chen Xiyan is the first assistant, Lin Xuwen himself is the deputy minister, and Huaidong stands behind him, the influence of these two people is not something that Yu Xinyuan and Xie Chaozhong can overthrow.

Xie Chaozhong's roots in Jiangning are not deep, Yu Xinyuan has nothing to do, and he can't think of any way.

Yu Xinyuan moved the teacups to his and said, "This is Zhang Yan, this is Liu Zhi, this is Wang Xueshan, this is Wang Tian, this is Zuo Chengmu......" In addition to Chen Xiyan, Lin Xuwen and them, there are only a few people left who can stomp their feet and make Jiang Ningcheng tremble, the key is who is most likely to be an ally in this matter.

Yu Xinyuan frowned, and Xie Chaozhong and Yu Bijiang also frowned.
