On July 18, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, although no one knew that the outbreak of the imperial civil war would be a matter of time, no one would have thought that the outbreak of the civil war would first ignite in the Wuhu and Jiangnan regions, and no one would have thought that Situ Tai and Situ Biao, two brothers who were still fighting for the throne a few months ago, would suddenly attack Cheng Dayou, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region of the empire and the commander of Jiujiang Lake Prefecture, who had been keeping a low profile. But judging from the analysis of the end of the war at the beginning www.biquge.info of the war, it seems that the commander had been prepared for this battle for a long time, and even if the surname is to be accurately determined, it should be said that the army of the commander made a counterattack on Huanggang in the east before Situ Biao's Sixth Army launched an attack on Jiujiang in the east and south, which led to the outbreak of the war.

Although it is already July, but in the second half of the night can still feel the coolness brought by the river breeze from the river, the monsoon from the Great Eastern Ocean and the Great South Ocean are mixed together, and every year from May to September, it will always bring abundant precipitation to the entire Eastern Continent, which is also the prerequisite for the five lakes in the south of the Yangtze River to become the land of fish and rice, and the sufficient rain makes the rivers and lakes in the south of the empire all over the country, and also makes the water transportation in the south extremely developed, replacing the land transportation on the mainland as the most important mode of transportation.

The main transportation channel between Huanggang and Jiujiang can only refer to the Yajiang River in any respect, and this river, which has to change its name in almost every section of the river, is called the Yajiang River in this section, probably because the mountains and rivers in Jiujiang are beautiful and the hometown of culture and art is called Yadi. This section of the river, known as the Yajiang River, is generally referred to as the Great River in terms of geographical terms, and it is also the birthplace of civilization along with the Fan River, which flows through Zhongzhou, the capital of the empire. From Huanggang to Jiujiang is also the busiest and most important section of the river, most of the rivers and lakes from the south enter the river in this section of the water surface, such as the Dongting Lake water system in the south of Huanggang, the Chaohu Lake water system in the south of Jiujiang, it is these major water systems and the mainstream water system of the river constitute the river system, and also make the river the first water system of the empire, and the geographical scope of its communication should be said to be far beyond the fan river system.

Objectively speaking, the river from Hanzhong into Jincheng began to enter the golden section of the river, Hanzhong, Jincheng, Huanggang, Jiujiang, Huzhou, Gusu, and finally into Quanzhou into the sea, these eight provinces almost communicated the entire empire from west to east the richest and most prosperous area, later generations of economic historians even to the river eight provinces to describe the river this waterway to the important surname of the eight provinces, if you add the canal linked to Weiyang, Yuhang, Jinling, Dengzhou, it can be said that this waterway is enough to control the economic lifeline of the empire. The section of the river from Gusu to Quanzhou was often diverted many years ago, and even mixed with the canal, making it difficult to say whether that section was dredged or a canal after excavation and transformation of the depression. It is precisely because of the important surname of this river that the rulers of all dynasties regarded this region as their hinterland, in fact, this region is worthy of being called the elite area of the empire in terms of financial revenue, food supply, education, culture and art, and it is precisely the support of this region that enables the dying Tang River Empire to survive in such a situation.

And now the struggle for control of this waterway will almost be on the table again, neither Situ Biao's side nor Cheng Dayou's side seems to be unwilling to give up control of this waterway, Situ Biao's control of this waterway means that his alliance with Situ Tai can be even closer, Cheng Dayou occupies this waterway, and can also firmly connect himself with his new master's territory, and no longer have to worry about threats from other directions.

"How's the situation?" almost greeted the other party from outside the tent, this kind of treatment made the tired chief of staff can't help but be a little scared, facing the expectant eyes of the two bosses, the chief of staff didn't even have time to take a breath before he hurriedly pulled a somewhat hoarse voice to introduce.

"Everything is as expected by the two division commanders, the enemy has been thirty miles away from our Jiujiang border for the final preparations, according to our intelligence officers and scouts combined intelligence, uh, plus all kinds of intelligence from the western Xinjiang side, the enemy is estimated to complete the assembly and launch an attack in three to five days, according to my first-line observation, it should be a period of relaxation before the end of the enemy's assembly, although the enemy's performance is okay, but as long as we carefully arrange and plan, we can find out the loopholes, after all, they may launch an offensive after three or five days, both officers and soldiers have a relaxed psychologyThey never imagined that we would dare to launch a counterattack, and their subordinates personally thought that today and tomorrow should be the best time to launch a surprise attack. ”

Hearing his chief of staff's affirmative tone, the square-faced man with a face like a heavy jujube looked at his colleague, a lean man with a sallow face but burning eyes, and their eyes suddenly collided in the air, and they seemed to be able to feel the strong fighting intent in each other's chests.

"Okay, it's done, this is a hammer deal, we don't expect to knock Jin Zhiyang's Sixth Army down all at once, but we have to find a way to castrate the scourge of Situ Biao's water army, otherwise these guys will always be a scourge, the adults handed over the gate west of Jiujiang to us, and the strategy is also up to us to decide, if we want to defend this west gate and not abolish the water army that Situ Biao arranged in Huanggang, after all, we will not be able to live in peace, but the army, although this mountain is low, if Jin Zhiyang's Sixth Army wants to climb through here, I want to see how awesome his Sixth Army is, whether it can pass our Ten Finger Pass。 Let's set the goal of the battle on destroying the enemy's naval army, old Jane, what do you mean?" The man with a face like a heavy jujube suddenly slapped his high-five, and then thought about how he was not fighting in a division this time, although the commander was mainly himself, but he still needed to ask for the opinion of the yellow-faced man next to him.

"Hehe, Lao Guan, your opinion is the same as my thoughts, although the enemy army is the main force of Situ Biao, but in fact, this Sixth Army is also average in the performance of the South and the Maqi Khans, not to mention that most of our defense areas are low and mountainous, hehe, to put it mildly, it happens to be a good place for us to perform, they want to think about this land, I'm afraid they have to leave something." But the navy is different, the marshal still has not transferred the main force of Tian Jinbao's navy, it is estimated that the marshal is going to block Situ Tai's southern invasion in Huzhou, so that the original strength of our Jiujiang naval army is too weak, if you want to compete with the naval army arranged by Situ Biao in Huanggang, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand it, we must find a way to abolish their naval army, at least let them hurt their vitality, otherwise the battle below us will be difficult to fight, they have a naval army can freely enter and exit our back flank, we can be a little unbearable. The sallow-faced man wiped the short beard on his lips and nodded emphatically, obviously agreeing with his colleagues' opinions, annihilating or severely damaging the enemy's naval army will win an advantage for their own defense, which will bring great benefits to the later defensive operations.

"Hehe, the hero sees the same thing, let's avoid its edge, hit its weakness, well, it doesn't seem right, uh, it should be to attack the enemy's shortcomings with your own strengths, right? Okay, Lao Ba, you can introduce the layout of the enemy's naval army to me and Lao Jian. The red-faced man grinned, his momentum was like a rainbow, and his knuckles were pinched, obviously he had long wanted to fight a battle to vent his moldy hands and feet that had been idle for so long.

"Well, the two division commanders, please look at this map, Jin Zhiyang's second division of the Sixth Army is stationed here, well, this is Hushanji, the third division is in this direction, putting on a wedge-shaped attack posture, it is estimated that this third division will serve as the main attack vanguard, they are in this section of the area is the intersection of the defense of the two sides, the news from the west of Xinjiang said that the relationship between the second division and the third division of the sixth army has always been bad, and the two sides have been wounded on the battlefield many times before, and there have been skirmishes on the battlefield many times before, although before the war, Jin Zhiyang had sternly warned the commanders of the two divisions that if they delayed the fighters because of personal grudges, the military law was not knownPerhaps the commanders of both divisions did not want to annoy Jin Zhiyang because of the conflict before the war, so they deliberately exercised restraint, there was a gap of about one to two miles here, and I passed through here with the scout team twice, and did not find any guard force, and there was a guard post at least a mile away to the north, and there would be a sentry post about a mile and a half miles away here. The chief of staff, who was called Lao Ba, was obviously focusing on the geographical location of this gap, and his intention was not clear.

"Oh?" almost immediately aroused the interest of the two men, and their eyes suddenly followed the fingers of the old man to the point on the map, not far from the riverbank, only ten miles, and the anchor-like symbol under the black dot that advanced forty miles to the west jumped on the paper, almost stirring the hearts of both of them. "Lao Ba, you mean #8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;"

"Hehe, division commander, now these two divisions have some scruples, so I'm afraid they are more or less reluctant to interfere with each other's actions, if we have an army wearing each other's clothes and carrying the other party's number because of the change of guard, then do you say they will ask? Even if they ask, their subordinates are just thinking about it, and they will not deliberately provoke, right?" Lao Ba had a fox-like smile on his face.
