Chapter 905: Beacon Jiangnan

Chapter 910

It will take a certain amount of time for the information to be transmitted back to Liangzhou from Jiangnan. In addition, the recent war shortage has made it even more difficult to transmit information.

What Cheng Dalei has obtained now is probably the information from more than ten days ago.

"In your opinion, can Li Xingzai still hold it? ”

"Difficult. Cheng Dalei thought about it, slowly spit out a word, and then shook his head and said: "However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are too many factors that determine the victory. ”

"But at least for now, it seems that Li Xingzai will definitely be defeated. ”

Cheng Dalei nodded helplessly.

"What if he is defeated?"

Cheng Dalei thought for a while and said: "Then Li Xing is the master of the Jiangnan place, and he will confront the Rong people across the river." The Rong people are not good at water warfare, and the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou soldiers is too weak, and who wins and who loses in the end is a bad thing. ”

"Then what are we not going to do?"

And so on. ”

Cheng Dalei spat out a word. Strategically, he already had an idea, which would not be shaken no matter what anyone said. Now the situation is unclear, it is not the time for Liangzhou to make a move, and in the end, if you don't make a move, you must decide the victory.

It's just that after a month of stalemate, the battle situation in Jiangnan has not changed much. It's a bit strange anyway.

Cheng Dalei knocked on his head, and he didn't know what Li Xing's idea was.

......

When Cheng Dalei was racking his brains, the people in Jiangnan were still in dire straits. This is true of both Li Xingya and Li Xing.

Li Xingxing's army of 200,000 approached Li Xingzai's territory. Li Xingzai did not guess wrong, this strategy was indeed from the hand of He.

After joining Li Xing's camp, he immediately began to plan to eliminate Li Xingya, but he really didn't say anything about it.

He counted the men and horses under Li Xing's command, and found unbelievably that 500,000 troops could be raised in Jiangnan alone.

Jiangnan is a rich land, Liangzhou has been operated by Cheng Dalei for a long time, and now it has a population of only one million. But any city in Yangzhou has a population of seven or eight hundred thousand. Li Xing is sitting here, and it is no problem to raise hundreds of thousands of troops.

And there is quite a feeling that the poor are getting rich, there are so many soldiers, do you keep the dumplings for the New Year?

So he offered advice to Li Xing and raised troops to attack Li Xingzai. Quickly wipe out the East China Sea, and then straighten out the men and horses and prepare for the decisive battle with the wild fire.

Li Xing really acted according to his plan, raised an army of 200,000, and pounced on the East China Sea with the momentum of a fierce tiger, but when it bordered the forces of the East China Sea, he stopped alive.

He was in charge of internal affairs in Jiangnan, and he didn't understand the matter of really leading the troops to fight, and he was not responsible for it. This kind of conquest and warfare was in charge of Hong Li.

And I don't understand the intention of stopping the army at this moment. According to Hong Liao, Li Xingya's troops in the East China Sea are weak and strong, and even if they can be defeated, Jiangnan will inevitably suffer serious losses.

It is better to besiege but not attack, and deter with heavy troops. If one day the wild fire hits the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to use Li Xingzai as a shield and first damage a group of Rong people's men and horses.

This strategy cannot be said to be completely unreasonable. But after all, he came out of Liangzhou, what kind of place is Liangzhou, it is simply a den of bandits, and nine and a half of the ten people are bandits.

Bandits often don't think too much about doing things, and if they look ahead and backward, they can't be thieves.

He obviously had opinions about Hong's strategy, but he didn't talk to anyone. The point is that it's not too easy to talk about.

The situation in Jiangnan is more complicated than imagined, there are three major camps under Li Xing, a group of people are old ministers who support him as emperor, and a group of people are young and new talents who have just emerged, and this group of people is headed by Hong Li. He had not been in his long life, and had not yet had his own descendants, and those who were not welcomed in the other two places joined his command.

In any case, he is still on an unstable foothold, and if he has an opinion on Hong's strategy, in the eyes of those who are interested, he wants to challenge Hong's position.

There have been many old ministers who have instigated and come forward, and this kind of shrewd and ghost-like character, how can they be stupid enough to be used as a gunman.

Although there are factions in Liangzhou, they are not as serious as Jiangnan. Cheng Dalei is in the middle, and everyone else can speak freely. Sometimes, He will miss the time when he was still in Liangzhou, doing things in Jiangnan, and many places could not make him happy.

Fortunately, Li Xing treated him well, Cheng Dalei presided over internal affairs, and Li Xing has always supported him strongly.

Now He and Hong have a clear division of labor, and He is unwilling to dictate what others are doing. He is willing to deal with what he should do and what he can do, and he will drink tea at home when he has nothing to do, and he will not meet him in officialdom, nor will he develop his lineage.

At dusk on this day, he took a small sedan chair back to the house, and just entered the gate, a housekeeper came to pass.

"Master, someone from your hometown has come, saying that it is your distant nephew, who is now waiting. ”

"My distant nephew?" and frowned, and said, "Let him wait for me in the side hall, and I'll come after changing my clothes." ”

"Yes. ”

He changed out of court clothes, put on civilian clothes, thought about it, and put a short knife in his sleeve.

When he came to the side hall, he saw a young man in a coarse linen robe standing there. Seeing his appearance, he is the same as the whole person.

"Third uncle, I can see your third uncle. You've always been nice, nephew, I want to kill you. ”

He paused, and then smiled: "Good nephew, I haven't seen you for many years, I almost can't recognize you." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the housekeeper: "You guys go down first, I have something to talk about with this nephew." ”

The servant maid who was waiting withdrew, and only the young man He was left in the side hall.

The smile on his face slowly dissipated: "Song Gongzi, we haven't met for many years, but I only heard that you are doing things in the East China Sea, but I didn't know that you were actually my nephew." ”

This young man is Song Youqu, he smiled and bowed deeply.

"And my lord, you and I have both worked under the command of the big boss, no matter what, we can be regarded as old people. This time I took the liberty to come to the door, and I really have a big thing to talk about. ”

"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you don't think Gongzi Song will come to see me for no reason?"

Song Youqu bowed again and said, "I have here a secret letter from His Majesty, please have a look at it with your lordship." ”

And took the letter, and read it by the candlelight, and his face became more and more ugly, and then he began to burn it on the fire.

"The King of Freedom is still so direct. Did he know that with this letter alone, he could ask for my head? ”

Song Youqu said: "The letter has made it clear, there should be no need to be wordy. Now the situation and adults must know that Li Xing is not the master, and sooner or later he will be defeated. My majesty is the Holy Lord of the heavens, and the Lord is now in an important position, if he can be in the middle, Jiangnan will be defeated. ”

He paused, then scattered the ashes, and said with a smile: "King Xiaoyao really looks up to He. ”
