Chapter three hundred and twentieth go south
"Liu Wenqing and Liu De'an are both fencemen and are still restraining Gan Chao. If our dynasty sends troops to conquer them, wouldn't they force them to Gan Chao?"
Ye Hezhen asked, his expression was also very serious, as if he was thinking about what Qian Zhifei's opinion had.
"One time, another time, before, my court could not attack the two of them.
However, the rebellion in Fujian will involve some of the troops in Ganchao. Moreover, Fujian is mountainous, Ganchao may not be able to quell the rebellion in a short period of time.
Therefore, I think that once our dynasty moves southward and attacks the Li Zongting army, it will immediately retreat, defend the three important towns of Shangqiu, Xuchang and Bozhou, adopt the previous strategies to control the war within a certain range."
Then the topic changed: "The changes in the situation will also make Liu Wenqing and Liu De'an change their attitudes and focus on defending our dynasty.
And these two villains have tens of thousands of troops under their command. Although they cannot dominate the situation, they are a considerable force that will pose a threat to our dynasty."
Qian Zhifei's analysis made a lot of sense, which made Ye Hezhen nodded frequently.
"But if you only deal with Liu Wenqing and Liu Dean this time, it would be a waste of money!"
The situation in the north is not very good. If the Yuan Dynasty moved south in large numbers, it would definitely cause huge consumption.
What they fight in war is money and food. If they cannot make enough benefits in the Dakan Dynasty, their lives will be hard.
So Ye He was really hesitant. After all, Henan or Shandong were affected by the war and there was not much oil and water at all. Even if he controlled these places, his gains were very limited.
"The war can change with the development of the situation, but it is better to deal with Liu Wenqing and the others first!"
He paused and continued to speak: "And these two people are both people at the end of the head and rat. If our army is approaching the border, it is clear that the carriages and horses are needed to deal with them first, it is very likely that they will be forced to land.
Once the two were forced to surrender by our court, the situation would completely change. The army could bypass Shangqiu, go south to Xuzhou, and face Jiangsu.
There are many water nets in the south, and many places are not conducive to our cavalry. They just happened to take the lead with surrendered troops. If the war goes well, it may also hit the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and then the army is fighting back and completely occupying the land of Jiangbei."
Qian Zhifei proposed a big strategy, and it was very feasible, which made Ye Hezhen's expression change constantly.
"Since you've hit the Yangtze River, why don't you cross the river directly and destroy Ganchao!"
At this time, Yuwen Hu spoke with a hint of finding fault in his tone.
This is also because after the Yuan Dynasty occupied Shenjing, the status of the surrendered minister of the Gan Dynasty was not low, which made him a little dissatisfied.
However, Wang Yuanhua and others were all working hard when the Yuan Dynasty entered the Shenjing. Yuwen Hu could not do too much, so he put his target on Qian Zhifei.
"Not only the natural danger of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to overcome. Even the military power of Ganchao cannot be underestimated. If our dynasty wants to do everything in one go, it will be unlikely to destroy Ganchao."
He paused and explained: "If this battle can be defeated by Ganchao and occupying the entire north of the Yangtze River, it will be a good result!"
After saying that, Qian Zhifei looked at Ye Hezhen, waiting for his decision.
"What Qian Qing said is exactly what I want!"
Ye Hezhen expressed his opinion because Qian Zhifei’s strategic concept is most suitable for the situation at this time.
In fact, Ye Hezhen has never deployed troops, just because he is worried that the army will not be able to win after it goes south.
After all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Kaifeng, which is not that easy to deal with.
What's more, when the Yuan Dynasty army moved, the Ganchao saw that the situation was not good, he could retreat to several important military cities.
By then, the army will move south and will definitely turn into a long-lasting stalemate.
The situation in the north was not good, and the Yuan Dynasty could not afford to continue fighting.
As soon as Ye Hezhen finished speaking, Qian Zhifei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he proposed this strategy was to take the opportunity to stand out.
After all, there are many surrendered ministers in the Yuan Dynasty. If they do not show their value, they will sooner or later become passers-by and life will be difficult.
Next, Ye Hezhen asked a few more questions, Qian Zhifei also answered one by one, and finally reminded him a few words: "Your Majesty, Gan Chao has already breathed a sigh of relief and has warlike soldiers in his hands, which cannot be destroyed in a short period of time.
”
Ye Hezhen immediately understood Qian Zhifei's intention, and was persuading himself not to be anxious, and he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Because this careful reminder means that the other party has returned to his heart, which is conducive to the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.
After all, the ability of the surrendered ministers in the court was fully reflected when stabilizing the north, and Ye Hezhen would naturally attach importance to them.
"This time I go south, Qian Aiqing serves as the military advisor and follow me to go to war!"
As soon as this statement was made, Qian Zhifei immediately showed some joy, because going on a military campaign represents a kind of favor and will greatly improve his status.
"Thank you, Lord, Long!"
He knelt down respectfully and bowed respectfully, and was also very excited.
However, Qian Zhifei's follow-up to the army made Yuwen Hu extremely dissatisfied, which means that he could not follow Ye Hezhen to the south.
The Yuan Dynasty focused on military merits, and only by following the army to fight could one achieve a higher status. Therefore, a considerable hatred arose in Yuwen Hu's heart.
Next, the Yuan Dynasty soldiers and horses in Shenjing City began to prepare for war, and the Yuan Dynasty soldiers and horses in the northern land also began to gather.
On the first day of September, Ye Hezhen led 80,000 cavalry and officially headed south.
Ye Hezhen moved and the Jinyiwei lurking in the Shenjing City soon discovered it and sent the news back to Nanjing.
"Finally moved!"
Looking at the information in his hand, He Yuansheng's expression became solemn.
Because Ye Hezhen goes south, it means that a great war will break out in the Central Plains, and whoever wins will have a complete advantage.
"Marty, Ye Hezhen leads his army southward, and the situation will reverse again. Our Northern Expedition Army may not be able to withstand it."
Qian Yong, who came to send the message, reminded him, with a little anxious tone.
He Yuansheng immediately wrote a military order and handed it to Song Zhi, the commander of the personal guards beside him: "You go to the front line in person, pass the order to Li Zongting, and let him retreat, and then stick to Bozhou, Shangqiu and Xuchang!"
"promise!"
Song Zhi nodded immediately, took the letter, turned around and left.
"Where is a war report coming from Fujian?"
After Song Zhi left, He Yuansheng asked questions about Fujian again.
"not yet!"
Qian Yong responded.
"It's time to arrive!"
It has been more than ten days since the Knitting Camp went south. According to the recently sent information, the army should arrive in Fuzhou City today and launch an attack on Fuzhou City.
But the war report has not been reported yet, which makes He Yuansheng a little anxious because the Yuan Dynasty army has already moved south. If it fails to quickly quell the Fujian rebellion, the situation will be a little bad.
After all, the navy officers and soldiers are the key to this battle, and the rogue Knitting Camp is another major force. If these two teams fail to return in time, the previous strategic concept will not work.
"Mr. Marquis doesn't have to worry, maybe it's because the road is delayed!"
Qian Yong comforted him, his tone very calm.
Because the Fujian Rebellion was purely a disease of scabies, Fuzhou was extremely empty, and as long as the horny knot camp arrived, you can go down with a blink of an eye.
On the other side, the chubby camp heading south is attacking Fuzhou City with all its might.
"Everyone says that Fujian's people are strong, and they are indeed well-known!"
Lao Zhou, who was commanding the siege, sighed and frowned as he looked at the battle in front of him.
Early this morning, the chubby camp landed from the coast and headed straight to Fuzhou City.
According to Lao Zhou's idea, he felt that the army could take down the city with just one attack.
But what surprised him was that after arriving in Fuzhou City, the city gate was closed, and thousands of officers and soldiers followed tens of thousands of people, waiting for the battle.
Seeing this, Lao Zhou could only order the siege, but tens of thousands of soldiers from the Kankien Camp fought for more than an hour but failed to break through the city.
The reason for this is that the people in the city are fearless and are unable to break the city in a short period of time.
Lao Zhou sighed here that the people in Fujian are strong, but Wang Lishan in Fuzhou City was so anxious that he was still scolding Wang Jingyuan hatefully
: "The ungrateful wolf, dares to plot against me."
Early this morning, Wang Lishan received the news that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers landed from the sea, and he was stunned.
Fortunately, Wang Jingyuan was in the governor's yamen and immediately gave Wang Lishan an idea to organize the strong men to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.
It was also proposed to give ten taels of silver to every rural brave man who participated in defending the city to inspire morale.
Fujian has poor land and the people live very poor. For ten taels of silver, there are naturally a large number of strong men participating in defending the city.
In this way, in less than an hour, Wang Lishan summoned tens of thousands of strong men to defend the city.
Later, Wang Jingyuan proposed to prepare for a retreat, so he left the city and went to the beach to handle everything.
Before leaving the city, Wang Jingyuan also specifically told Wang Lishan that if Fuzhou city was broken, he would dress up as a fugitive, go to the beach and escape from the sea.
As soon as Wang Jingyuan left, Wang Lishan suddenly remembered that his family was still in the city. If the city was destroyed and the family was brought with him and there was no movement, he would send someone to escort his family out of the city.
But when the family rushed to the agreed location, they could not see Wang Jingyuan, so they immediately sent a letter to Wang Lishan.
At this time, Wang Lishan realized that the situation was not good and knew that Wang Jingyuan had been fooled, so he was extremely annoyed.
"Dongweng, the situation is getting more and more dangerous. What should we do?"
The master beside him asked, looking very nervous.
"Stay on the city, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Wang Lishan gritted his teeth and answered, but he was very scared.
Because the situation is getting worse and worse, he understands that it is difficult to defend Fuzhou City.
But the retreat was broken and the city was besieged again. He could only stick to the city first and then think of a way.
On the other side, on the sea south of Fujian, a small sea boat was heading towards Penghu.
The person on the boat was Wang Jingyuan. He was standing at the bow of the boat and looking north, with a complex look on his face.
