When Yue Lengqiu and Tang Xitai traveled to Duchang, they caught up with the heavy rain weather, and the wind and waves were surging on Poyang Lake, and it was difficult to cross the lake to Yuzhang for a while, so they rested in Duchang.

Duchang City is located at the mouth of the Chang River into Poyang Lake, Zhou Tong led Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi to temporarily rest in Duchang, making the north barren beach of Duchang City like another camp city.

In the stone harbor at the mouth of the river, dozens of troop carriers are moored; At this time, there were troop carriers going south in the rain and berthing in the river port - seeing that so many troop carriers had gathered in Duchang, Yue Lengqiu could also know that Lin Lian had made up his mind and that the main force of the Chongcheng Army was about to be transferred, but he didn't know if he would be transferred to Jiangzhou or somewhere else.

Since Yue Lengqiu wanted to rest in Duchang to avoid the heavy rain and cross the lake, Zhou Tong naturally couldn't neglect the ceremony, so he set up a banquet in Xingyuan to invite each other and express his feelings, and Tang Fuguan and Liu Zhenzhi also attended to accompany him.

Dried dried meat, dried wine, vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp, dried dried meat for a long time, exudes a slight fishy smell, and vegetables are mainly sea skirt vegetables.

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "At the beginning of the war, the materials were exhausted, and there were no good things to entertain, so I asked Yue Xianghaihan to ......"

Yue Lengqiu said: "Commander Zhou is polite. ”

What is the current situation in Jiangxi, Yue Lengqiu is not unclear.

Although the supplies of the Huaidong Army could be transported from the Yangtze River, they were all food that had been stored for a long time. The fact that there are pickled and air-dried dried meat in the army can be eaten shows that the Huaidong Army is no longer comparable to other military food.

To restore agriculture in Jiangxi, animal power is indispensable, and the first decree after Lin Tie to Yuzhang is to strictly prohibit the slaughter of livestock in all parts of Jiangxi. Therefore, in Duchang City, there is no shortage of fish, shrimp and fruits, but there are no fresh vegetables and fresh meat.

For the generals of the Huaidong Army, this is the time to make meritorious contributions, and few people indulge in pleasure. Except for some alcoholic generals who often steal strong liquor for medicinal purposes, the vast majority of people still don't get tired of eating and dressing.

Yue Lengqiu is naturally a guest and doesn't care.

Pushing half a salary, Yue Lengqiu and Zhou Tong sat side by side, and Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi and Tang Xitai sat together.

When Yue Lengqiu supervised Eastern Fujian, Tang Fuguan was the Marquis of Yu on the left side of the Governor's Mansion, and he was quite familiar with him. Yue Lengqiu also intended to test the views of the generals of the Huaidong Army on the situation in Jinghu and the north, so he chatted with Tang Fuguan very diligently during the banquet.

Tang Fuguan's perception of Yue Lengqiu is much more complicated.

When Yue Lengqiu supervised Eastern Fujian, he was at odds with Yu Wangao; When he was the superintendent of King Qin, Yue Lengqiu instigated Tao Chun to split Shao Wujun.

Although there are many reasons why Shao Wujun was overthrown in Jinan, how could the generals from the former Eastern Fujian Army still have a good impression of Yue Lengqiu?

Tang Fuguan originally wanted not to participate in the banquet and avoid seeing Yue Lengqiu. However, Yu Zhang hoped to release more kindness to Yue Lengqiu, and at Zhou Tong's insistence, Tang Fuguan could only come over and deal with Yue Lengqiu.

"The foundation of the swallow is in the two Liao, in the swallow thistle, both near the deep sea. However, the Jinghai Sea Camp crisscrossed the four seas, invincible and unfavorable, and the defeat of the luxury family was also rooted in this, which was also the Privy Council's strategy, "Yue Lengqiu sat according to the case, his waist was as straight as a halberd, and he looked at the people of Huaidong, "Now, Yan Yu should also know this disadvantage, so he has heavy troops in Shandong, Jidong and Liaodong, and he has a large water army in Dengzhou. However, looking at the defeat of the extravagant family, and defending the sea by land, it is undoubtedly difficult to meet the easy, if Yan Yu is poor in this, he will eventually fall into complete passivity. Therefore, Yan Yu was anxious to trap the pass on the western front first, and then seize Jinghu, hoping to open the western channel to the south first, so as to contain the Huaidong soldiers on the western front, and never be able to take the sea route north on a large scale to attack the two Liao and Yan Ji. By the end of last year, Yan Lu's large-scale attack on Guanshan and the privy envoy's attempt to recover Jiangxi were all related to the succession of the two sides. Now, the Privy Council has driven the luxury family out of Jiangxi first, which can be said to be the first to do so......"

Yue Lengqiu's words were half-literate and half-white, but Zhou Tong, Tang Fu, Liu Zhenzhi and others had read and read books, and Tang Xitai was even more famous, so it was not difficult to understand.

At the strategic level, Yue Lengqiu's understanding of Huaidong and Northern Yan is accurate.

If Yanhu fails to open the passage from the west to the south, Jinghu can maintain a balanced situation, and Huaidong will have the ability to gather more than 200,000 heavy troops to attack Yanji and Liaodong directly by sea in a year or two after recovering Jiangxi, which will be extremely fatal to Yanhu.

Yanhu was able to intercept the attack of 200,000 heavy troops in Huaidong on a special defensive line, but there were several places along the coast of Shandong, Yanji, Liaoxi, Liaodong and other places suitable for the landing of 200,000 heavy troops, and Yanhu was not able to establish a defensive line to intercept the attack of 200,000 heavy troops in these places. At that time, in order to maintain the ability of mobile defense, Yan Hu's cavalry will be completely pinned down on the coast of the Bohai Sea, and it will be difficult to pose any threat to South Vietnam from Henan, Guanshan, and other directions.

For Yan Hu, what they need to do now is to build a naval army in Bohai Bay that can compete with the Jinghai Sea Battalion, and the other is to abandon their sons and compete for the lead.

When Yanhu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could go directly south from the western front, invade Jinghu, advance to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and threaten Jianghuai from the western flank, then Huaidong would not be able to draw heavy troops to attack Yanhu's Yanji and Liangliao hinterland in addition to passively defending on the western front.

This means that whether Huaidong captures Jiangxi first or Yanlu captures Guanshan first will determine whose hands the initiative of the entire battle situation is in his hands.

Zhou Tong looked at the wine glass in his hand and said: "Guanzhong is in danger, and once Guanzhong collapses, it will trigger a chain reaction in Hezhong, Nanyang, Suizhou, and Jingzhou, and the situation will develop very quickly. I think that the top priority of our army is not to prepare for the sea route to attack the swallow thistle, but to stabilize the situation in Jinghu Lake first, so as to ...... the Guanzhong."

The situation in Jinghu is stable, which will strongly support the Cao family to resist Yanhu in Guanzhong, and once the situation on the entire western front is stabilized, the initiative of the war will naturally fall into the hands of Huaidong.

Yue Lengqiu sat side by side with Zhou, unable to directly observe whether what he said was true or false.

If the generals of the Huaidong Army were fighting this idea, the main force of the Chongcheng Army would cross the river and go north to pursue the luxury family, but the entire Jinghu battle situation would be completely free of the Chizhou Army - although Yue Lengqiu knew that Chizhou was advancing westward at this time, and he was suspected of killing Lin Jian with a knife, but there was no way, after the defeat of Zongyang, the Chizhou Army would not perform in the Jinghu battlefield, and it would be completely marginalized and would be abolished.

Yue Lengqiu said: "What General Zhou planned, I also deeply believe, but Luxury Wenzhuang and Huaidong have been defeated repeatedly, but it cannot be denied that he is an old fox who is well versed in Huaidong's tactics - the main force of the Chongcheng Army crossed the river to the north to pursue the remnants of the Luxury Family, and the remnants of the Luxury Army will not be entangled with the Chongcheng Army." From the fact that the luxury family did not defend Huangmei County on the north bank of Jiangzhou, and withdrew the defense line to the Jichun area, it can be seen that the luxury family wanted to avoid the Huaidong soldiers. Suizhou now also regards the luxury family as lips and teeth, in order to avoid the death of the lips and teeth, Luo Xiancheng deliberately let out the passage on the east bank of the Han River, so that the luxury family can escape north along the Han River at any time and attack Nanyang. Luo Xiancheng is not eliminated, the flank threat is incomprehensible, can Huaidong send troops and horses to pursue the remnants of the luxury family along the Han River? ”

"Governor Yue's words are also introspective," Zhou Tong said, "but the Huaidong army can travel 100 miles a day, and the remnants of the luxury family can also travel 100 miles a day; Moreover, 100,000 soldiers and horses in Huaidong crossed the river to the north, and Luo Xiancheng was still too late to surrender to Jiangning, and he dared to let his luxury family flee north? ”

Zhou Tongman's indifferent tone made Yue Lengqiu feel confused, and thought: Maybe the Huaidong Army has won all the battles, and it breeds arrogance from Lin Lian down, maybe Lin Lian specially asked Zhou Tong to confuse himself.

Yue Lengqiu didn't want to make the guests unhappy at the banquet, Zhou Tong's influence in the Huaidong Army was not trivial, and Lin Tong was not an arbitrary and dictatorial person, and Zhou Tong was a person who could speak well in the Chizhou Army.

Yue Lengqiu couldn't see through the truth of what Zhou Tong said for a while, but the main force of the Huaidong Army was eager to cross the river and go north to pursue the remnants of the luxury family, which was not particularly beneficial to Huaidong.

In addition to various other reasons, Huang Binghao still had 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yuanzhou who did not surrender.

Even if Huang Binghao surrenders, how can he trust him 100%? Yan Neng didn't know that the luxury family crossed the river and fled north, and Huang Binghao stayed in Yuanzhou, because the two had a secret discussion in advance.

When the main force of the Huaidong Army was trapped in Jinghu, Huang Binghao rebelled against Yuanzhou, and he would definitely be able to make the Huaidong Army unable to take care of each other and be in chaos.

Now the news on the surface is that Gao Zongting sent Yuan Zhou to talk about the surrender on behalf of Lin Lian, Lin Lian and Fu Qinghe only led Zhang Jiheng to sit in Yuzhang, and the rest of the soldiers and horses who entered Jiangxi were scattered everywhere, and now the Tang Fuguan Department and Liu Zhenzhi's Department in Duchang seem to be about to go north by water.

Could it be that Lin Lian is really not afraid that Huang Binghao will repeat?

After the banquet, Tang Xitai accompanied Yue Lengqiu back to the post house to rest.

Yue Lengqiu didn't have much to say with Zhou Tong, Tang Fuguan, and Liu Zhenzhi, but he and Tang Xitai had traveled all the way, and there was less strangeness. On the way back to the post house, Yue Lengqiu asked directly: "The warships are gathered in Duchang, does Huaidong really want to cross the river and go north?" ”

"Everyone in Jiangning is looking forward to the Huaidong soldiers and horses crossing to the north, and Jinghu is also looking forward to the Huaidong soldiers and horses crossing to the north, but it should be the Cao family who should be most eager for the Huaidong soldiers and horses to cross to the north, doesn't Yue Du think so?" Tang Xitai saw that the heat was about the same, and he no longer played dumb riddles with Yue Lengqiu, and deliberately revealed the truth to the depths, and asked rhetorically.

"The Cao family didn't send someone to Jiangxi to see the privy envoy?" No matter how extensive a person's knowledge is, there are blind spots that he can't recognize, Yue Lengqiu is entangled in the current predicament of the Chizhou army, and he is not sensitive enough to the news of Jinghu and Guanzhong, and he really doesn't realize that the Cao family has not sent people into Jiangxi to see Lin Tie.

After the luxury family crossed the river and fled north, the balance of power in Jinghu was reversed, and once the luxury family and Luo Xiancheng publicly surrendered Hu, they were bound to attack Guanzhong and Hanzhong from the flank. For the Cao family, who was alone in Guanzhong, it should be that Liang Chengchong of Nanyang and Liang Chengyi of Hezhong most desperately hoped that the main force of the Huaidong Army or the Chizhou Army would attack Jinghu.

Looking at what the Queen Mother and her family were in a hurry after the luxury family fled north, you can know the profound impact of Jinghu on the situation in Guanzhong and western Henan.

The Cao family has not moved at this time, which is a big anomaly.

The Cao family didn't expect Huaidong to quickly reverse the situation in Jinghu, the Cao family had made up their minds to give up Guanzhong!

And once the Cao family abandons guarding Guanzhong, it will be a question whether Hezhong and Nanyang can hold for a month, and maybe after autumn, the Hu people will have to drink the Yangtze River!

Yue Lengqiu was stunned: The most basic basis for Lin Lian's decision-making was precisely the choice of the Cao family. In other words, before others speculate about Huaidong's next military deployment, they will definitely not ignore this point, and they take it for granted that the Cao family will definitely send people to Jiangxi to see Lin Jian to urge the Huaidong army to cross north to settle the Jinghu situation, but I didn't expect the biggest problem to be here......
