This plan looks beautiful, but it inevitably has many hidden dangers and uncertainties.

First of all, the navy will raid the bridge, and this waterway cannot be said to be very difficult.

The navy of the two armies and the infantry of the two armies traveled through the Bian River, which means that they need to pass through Linhuai and Xuyi, the prefectures of Sizhou. It would be fine if Xuyi was fine. However, although Yu Mingzhen had never stationed troops here in Linhuai, outposts and scouts are indispensable. In other words, to pass through here, it means that they pass under the eyes of others. This is one of them.

Even if you pass through Linhuai and go north along the Bianhe River, you have to pass Hong County, which is another throat county in Sizhou, and you will also face such problems.

The four armies have 10,000 people, and at least 100 large ships. Not only is the logistics pressure extremely high, but this line needs to be walked for nearly ten days. The supply along the line is very difficult. Once you land and dock, it is easy to be noticed.

"Your Majesty, there are probably some problems in raiding the bridge." Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai had studied this plan for a long time. After repeated discussions, they felt that they still needed to change it.

"Oh, say." Jiang Feng's face remained unchanged.

"The goal of taking 10,000 people on this road is too big. Even if it is under the name of a grain ship, it is still too big. It is impossible not to allow the inspection of the warrant army checkouts from Linhuai to Hongxian. Such a large scale grain ship will definitely think that it is a big fish with the style of the warrant army. It will not be too much to be tied up and will be easily exposed." Mei Kuang said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?" Jiang Feng asked patiently.

"I think the First Army of the Right Xiang Army, the Second Army will not follow us, but will leave two days later." Mei Kuang said in an orderly manner: "Our First Army of the Navy, the Second Army only dispatched thirty military ships, supplemented by a few grain ships as cover. The number of troops garrisons on the bridge was not large. After one round, the Right Xiang Army was following in, which is more safe."

"But Tongqiao is between Qi County and Fu Li, too close to the two cities. Once Yao Chengtai reacts quickly enough, you may have to bear a lot of pressure." Jiang Feng frowned.

Tongqiao is the former capital of Suzhou Prefecture. Later, Suzhou was withdrawn and merged into Xuzhou. It gradually became depressed, but it happened to be at the intersection of the post road of Pengcheng-Fuli-Qi County and the Bian River, so it is still quite large, with a garrison of Yao Chengtai.

What’s more important is that Qi County and Fuli are only twenty or thirty miles away from Tongqiao, and reinforcements can arrive in half a day. How can the navy control Tongqiao after landing? Can it withstand the attack from both sides?

"Your Majesty, our purpose is to transfer Yao Chengtai's main force out of Fu Li. If Yao Chengtai's main force is huddled in Fu Li City, our battle will be really difficult to fight. Perhaps it is to make Yao Chengtai feel that Tongqiao is not easy to defend. They can retake Tongqiao before our infantry captured Qi County on the southern front, so that his main force can be dragged to Tongqiao and eliminated. We can only take Fu Li in one fell swoop."

Tian Chunlai's suggestions were also pertinent and won the support of other generals present.

"Your Majesty, the words of spring come are reasonable. Yao Chengtai plus the 20,000 troops of the garrison and the guards, Fuli, Tongqiao and Qi County are arranged vertically, with heavy at both ends and light in the middle, but the food, grass, supplies and materials are stored in Tongqiao. I didn't expect that we would raid Tongqiao in such a large circle from the water. Once we control Tongqiao, Yao Chengtai will definitely fight to retake Tongqiao. This is our opportunity. The key is whether we can defend Tongqiao before our army on land arrives."

Yang Kan pondered and expressed his attitude, "The variables in this are too big. What will happen to us when we go north and what will Yao Chengtai's troops in Qi County react? It is still difficult to predict now. This makes it difficult for the navy to persist after the raid of Tongqiao."

Mei Kuang said with a sigh: "Qilang, there is nothing to do without any risks, let alone we are fighting! The navy attacked the bridge from the Bian River was an adventure, and it was to accidentally happen. As for defending the bridge and attracting Yao Chengtai's army, it was the purpose. I believe that the weapons on our fleet would give Shang Yunxi a deep impression. In addition, I think the Daozang Institute can perform in this time when we raided the bridge and then guarded the bridge. I heard that Brother Guinian and others made great progress during this period, and they made great progress and took out a lot of new things."

If there is anything in Huaiyou that makes Jiang Feng pay more attention to than military construction, then there is only magic lineage.

In addition to setting up a special magic training class in the Dadao Academy, almost every time the magic talents in the location will be swept away.

No matter what method is adopted, hiring, recruiting, inviting, or even forcing, in short, all kinds of methods are used to make sufficient use of these magical talents, we must take control of them in Huaiyou's hands.

At the same time, Jiang Feng also put the expansion of the Daozang Institute and the research required money and silver as the primary guarantee, which is also a major reason for the rapid development of the Daozang Institute in Xuzhou.

Now the Five Elements Court Hall of the Daozhan Hall in the Daozhan Hall in the Qingzhou have been completed, and the few magic talents in southern Yingzhou were quickly absorbed into the Daozhan Hall in the Qingzhou after the Huaiyou Army controlled the Yingshang and Shangcai counties.

The Daozang District of the Xuzhou Province even took the initiative to attack. Before Yingzhou and Bozhou had fallen into the hands of the Caizhou army, they began to actively invite and recruit magic talents from these two states. The superior conditions also attracted many magic talents to join the Daozang District of the Xuzhou Province.

Now that Luhao Prefectures are included, and with the undetermined Hezhou, the level of magical talents in these three prefectures is far superior to that of Yingbo Prefectures, so they are included in the Daozang District without any suspense, which is rapidly expanding at an unprecedented speed.

Now there are more than a hundred people in the Daozang Sect in the Zhouzhou Province, and there are thirty people above the level of magic masters, including 19 magic masters, 7 magic masters, and 4 Taoist masters, but the only regret is that there are not strong men at the level of Taoist masters.

This is probably a reality like the one in the Daocangdao of the Mingzhou Province, which has too shallow foundations, and this problem can only be solved by persistent investment and research, coupled with the accumulation of time.

Talents, places, conditions, and money support, can be said to have whatever you want, but if you can't come up with some decent things, it's really unreasonable.

"Brother Kuang, there are indeed some things in the Daozang Sect, but if you hope that these fresh things in the Daozang Sect can change the outcome of a war, I think it's still too optimistic, right?" Yang Kan shook his head.

"Haha, Qilang, you can't underestimate these new things in the Daozang Sect. Maybe one or two won't work, but if there are a few more, and we will be in defensive battles after raiding Tongqiao, it will be quite effective. I have been having a few conversations with Brother Guinian several times. I think if the new things in the Daozang Sect can guarantee the quantity to a certain extent, I'm afraid it will really achieve miraculous effects."

Mei Kuang knew that Yang Kan was not very interested in the things in the Daozang lineage, and always felt that the fancy taste was too strong. However, as the commander of the navy, he had greatly changed his impression of the Daozang site after fighting on Jiepai Riverside.

The navy is no better than the infantry. Due to the limitations of the special geographical environment, the navy has a higher dependence on equipment. The innovation and improvement of the long-range strike equipment where Daozang is located, coupled with the changes in the control methods of sails, have made the navy's strategy and tactics in a period of rapid change.

The former melee jumping tactics have become increasingly behind, and medium- and long-range strikes have become a new tactic of the Huaiyou Navy. Moreover, with the improvement of equipment, the fleet's strike capabilities have begun to extend to the river bank, which has also changed the power of the navy.

Mei Kuang felt that as long as he could successfully raid Tongqiao and deal with the garrisoned army, he would be very sure to be able to defend Tongqiao for two days.

As long as he can rely on the medium- and long-range attack force of the navy fleet and supplement it with a series of new defense methods from the Daozang Institute, he will have confidence.

Jiang Feng knew where Meikuang’s confidence came from.

In fact, he has always been paying close attention to the progress and changes of the Daozang Institute. Meikuang and Deng Guinian had frequent contacts and constantly experimenting with new weapons and equipment in the navy, as well as many defense methods. He knew that Meikuang would definitely rely on her if she dared to say this, and Meikuang has never been a bold person.

"Since Zi Yu is so confident, this plan can be adjusted, so that the First Army and the Second Army of the Right Xiang Army will follow up slowly." Jiang Feng nodded in recognition, "Wanshan, what are our arrangements along the Bian River?"

"It has been arranged long ago. Because the fleet continuously transported grain to the north in the early stage, it was of great help to alleviate the shortage of grain in Xuzhou and the three states of Yan, Yun and Yi in the north. Therefore, our fleet is also familiar with the garrison checkpoints along the Bian Canal and Sishui. Yu Mingzhen also greeted these checkpoints and asked not to block or extort, so there should be no big problem." Zhang Wanshan replied.

Xuzhou and Sizhou were short of grain, and Yan, Yun and Yi were even short of grain in the north. Therefore, one route was to transport Shouzhou grain along the Bian Canal to Tongqiao and transport it to Fuli and Qi County by land, and the other route was to transport it along the Sishui to Xiapi, Pengcheng and Xiao County.

Due to the continuous flow of grain in the north, the checkpoints along the Bian River and Si Shui are not guarded against, which is also a favorable factor for this raid.

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and half-jokingly said, "I always heard a reassuring news, otherwise this time the action would be really terrifying."
