Chapter 231 Jingxiang Upheaval(2/2)
After putting the memorial away, Zhang Changgeng stroked his beard and felt complacent. He felt that if the plan was successful, the missing Jing Xiang would also have an explanation to the court. Such a bold strategic change would be difficult for a non-ancient general to carry out. Now, he just waits for Dong Xueli's answer.
Good news.
……………
The Taishuo army captured Yicheng lightly, and continued to move southward without stopping, aiming directly at Zhongxiang. They successively conquered Dichi, and their equipment and supplies were greatly improved. They also collected many ships and transported them by water, which was faster.
Everyone knows the most common principle among military strategists. Intelligence work is the primary contributor to continuous victory. The unpreparedness and emptiness of the Qing army is also a key reason. The Qing army in Huguang has not had time to adjust, or has just reacted.
, if you can get more, get more, if you can make more impact, make more.
"Anyway, we have nothing to worry about. The upper reaches of the Han River are in our hands. If we can't fight, we will leave. The Qing army will not be able to do anything to us?"
Hao Yaoqi was riding on the horse, talking, looking at the water with a telescope, and muttered uneasily: "Those two guys don't be dishonest and kidnap our things away."
"Don't be suspicious." Liu Tichun said with some humor: "Yang Laijia and Hong Fu have both made contributions. The Qing court has no way out for the generals who captured the city this time. Besides, their families have all stayed in Xiangyang.
, this temporary naval force is not all their people, so what else is there to worry about?"
Hao Yaoqi thought for a while, nodded and said with a smile: "It's the same reason. They are the old members of King Yanping, and they are good at water warfare. If we don't use them, it will look like we are petty and don't trust them."
"If it is said that there is no doubt in employing people, His Highness Min can be the best in the world." Liu Tichun sighed: "If this is not the case, just because he is a member of the clan, even if he has the reputation of being left behind, it will be difficult to win people's hearts!"
"Although His Highness is tolerant of others, he may not be so generous to others." Hao Yaoqi looked to the side and saw that the guards were a little far away, so he lowered his voice and said, "Although King Jin is famous, he has no ambition.
At this time, he is leading his army in western Sichuan to slowly push towards Chongqing, and the time of contact with us is probably not far away."
Liu Tichun hesitated for a moment and said: "He leads an army, and we are also an army. We don't belong to each other, so it doesn't matter, right?"
Hao Yaoqi shook his head repeatedly and said: "Although we don't belong to each other, we have different titles. My brothers and I have discussed it privately. We will risk our lives to get more military exploits, and I will help you become the king of one word. Then two times.
When we meet, with your support, we won’t bow too low.”
"I'm very grateful for the kindness of brothers." Liu Tichun bowed his hand and said, "You have to get the credit, but you don't have to work hard. Doesn't His Highness Min have such scheming ideas and make the armies at odds? In my opinion, Jin
The king is in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and we are the land of Huguang."
"Even if this is the case, shouldn't we keep contact with each other forever?" Hao Yaoqi said stubbornly: "There are already three one-character kings from the Western Army, and there are also several county kings. Just for this, we have to fight for it, right?"
"We have to fight." Liu Tichun cast his sights on the vast Han River and said in a deep voice: "But we must also be prudent and cautious, and don't rush forward rashly, so as not to suffer defeat and lose our strength. The war south of the Yangtze River has not stopped, and there will be more wars in the future.
If we are to launch the Northern Expedition, there will be many opportunities for us to make great contributions! We must take a long-term view!"
