Chapter 459: Cheng Qun's plan
w"General!" Jiang Guangyu excitedly walked into Cheng Qun's tent, "Liu Huajian's main cavalry force caught up with Aslan's rear-breaking cavalry in Qingen, Huaizhou. After a fierce battle, Liu Huajian won a great victory. Aslan lost almost five thousand cavalry, and the rest fled in a panic to Gongzhou. General, it's time for us to speed up!"
Cheng Qun laughed and Liu Huajian, who gathered the four guards' cavalry, was well-equipped, while Aslan ran away, lacking food and food, and was tired. If he could not win the battle, it would be a strange thing.
"It's almost time!" He looked at Jiang Guangyu, "It's time for Liu Huajian to come back after completing this attack."
"Come back?" Jiang Guangyu widened his eyes, "It's the best time to chase and annihilate the enemy. Why don't you fight again?"
"After Aslan's troops were hit hard again, there were no more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, which was no longer worth worrying. But we could not move forward any further. Lao Jiang, the Shangjing side must send people to come forward at this time. If we move forward again, we will be greedy and may be bitten by a snake. We should go back." Cheng Qun smiled.
"Go back?" Jiang Guangyu was shocked, "General, for the sake of the mountain Jiuren, his efforts were slaughtered. General Yun Zhao's troops were coming from Luzhou. It was the best time for us to join forces to drive the Meng people out of the territory of Dayue in one fell swoop. When you go back at this time, wouldn't you abandon your previous efforts?"
Cheng Qun smiled and said, "How can it be said that all previous efforts are wasted? The three parties joined forces to almost wipe out the 200,000 elite troops of the Mongolian army. For at least decades, they were no longer able to pose a threat to our Dayue. This is our credit."
"But compared to the great military achievements of destroying the Mongol Yuan, this is nothing after all!" Jiang Guangyu murmured, "What a great opportunity!"
"But no longer!" Cheng Qun sighed, "I don't know who the person sent to Shangjing? In short, we must go back. Congliang and others will be temporarily intercepted in Tongzhou. However, facing Congliang's elite army, it is difficult to stop Shangjing. If we don't go back, it will be difficult to protect us."
"The fight between gods and immortals will affect the fish in the pond!" Jiang Guangyu said dissatisfiedly: "Such a good opportunity slipped away in vain."
"Leave all this to Yun Zhao! The strength of the Mongol Yuan is not as good as before. With Yun Zhao's current strength, it can completely stalemate with them. Wait for the victory and defeat of the Great Vietnamese, let's come again!" Cheng Qun spread his hands and said.
"We have put in a desperate effort and even made the emperor suspicious of us. General, I guess. Now His Majesty the Emperor has cut us off. But in the end, he has made a bargain, Yun Zhao, so he is really unwilling to accept it!" Jiang Guangyu said angrily. "No wonder everyone says that this kid is very lucky. I also think that his luck is really against the will of heaven."
Cheng Qun laughed, "Old Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so angry too? Do you think Yun Zhao picked up a piece of fat meat, maybe it's just a hot potato. Or maybe he got rid of his tiger teeth? The Mongol Yuan suffered this severe damage and would inevitably be tied into a rope to overcome this difficulty. The northward, the more suitable the terrain and terrain would be more suitable for the Mongolian cavalry. Our advantage is lost bit by bit. More importantly, Lao Jiang, our guards' dependence on logistics is actually far higher than that of the Mongolian cavalry. I believe you have seen this. If we are determined to go north, where will the supplies behind us come from? Without material supplements, how can we fight? So we must turn back, and we rushed forward so far, which is actually for the Emperor Majesty of Shangjing to see."
Jiang Guangyu was stunned.
"Old Jiang, we have embarked on a road of no return. After we brazenly crossed the Cangjiang River north, there is actually only one way in front of us." Cheng Qun smiled.
"That road?"
"Hold troops and respect yourself. Be a local overlord!" Cheng Qun said in a daze.
Jiang Guangyu was silent for a moment, "Is this possible work?"
"Look, I don't know when this war will end. Perhaps it will not end for a long time. Maybe it will not end in our lifetime. The Mongolians were crippled by us, but their basic strength still exists. After this battle, the vacuum after our withdrawal was filled by him, and their strength will inevitably increase greatly. In the north, these two major forces confront each other, which is actually a de facto entrenched one side. In order to gain access to Yun Zhao, the court will inevitably give him the right to arbitrarily in the north. Do you understand what I mean?" Cheng Qun said.
"Since that's the case, why do we need to cross the river? We stop north of the Cangjiang River. We now occupy almost half of the sixteen northern states and can fully support our soldiers." Jiang Guangyu said viciously.
Cheng Qun smiled and said, "Yes, we can stay on the north, but do you know the consequences? The north is the territory that Yun Zhao wants to hold in his hand. If we don't leave, we will definitely become his enemies. At that time, we will face Mengren and Yun Zhao. Do you think we can stay?"
Jiang Guangyu's expression changed, "Didn't Yun Zhaoru dare to deal with us? He rebelled openly?"
Cheng Qun laughed, "What's the difference between us now and rebellion? So although the northern territory is large, it is not our paradise. But if we stay here, we will inevitably face two powerful enemies. We will not agree with it alone. Most of our soldiers are from the south and are in the north for a long time. The soldiers are homesick, which will definitely have a great impact on morale, and they are very uncomfortable in all aspects such as living habits!"
"On the other hand, we will control Jingzhou and master the Jingzhou Navy. In this way, we can isolate Mengren and Yun Zhao from the north of Cangjiang River, and then make every effort to force Su Can from Liang to the south."
"Forcing to the south? Not annihilate them?" Jiang Guangyu said strangely.
"Annihilation of them? Not to mention how confident you are. If Su Can is seriously destroyed, have you never heard of the cunning rabbit and the lackeys cooked?" Cheng Qun sneered. "The situation after Dayue was that the heroes were divided, the Fourth Master in the south, the Yun Zhao and Meng people in the north, the Bailian in the west, and then we in the middle and Shangjing in the control center."
"The heroes will be in chaos!" Jiang Guangyu took a breath of air conditioning.
"Heroes come from troubled times, it depends on who can join forces and fight for a bloody path in this chaos faster." Cheng Qun sneered. "The current emperor is not in a good position, so it is also a reward for this. Now it seems that although he controls the center and has the highest nominal power, his real strength is the worst. Therefore, he has to rely on us, and even win over Yun Zhao at all costs."
"But where is our territory?" Jiang Guangyu said with a frown.
Cheng Qun pulled over the map, stretched out a finger, and drew a big circle on the map. "This place."
"The central part is near the west?" Jiang Guangyu said.
"Yes, the central part depends on the west. Among the various forces in Dayue in the future, Shangjing is the weakest, but it has a great reputation. Except for the Fourth Master, no one will attack him first. Except for Shangjing, the weakest one is the White Lotus Saint in the west. We occupy this territory, then conquer the west and swallow the White Lotus Saint."
"At this time, the Fourth Master is busy fighting with the old man, and Yun Zhao is busy fighting with the Mengren, so we can draw out most of our strength to conquer the western region. How can the White Lotus Sect bandits be our opponent!" Cheng Qun said with a smile.
"Great, really high!" Jiang Guangyu laughed, "The general is indeed planning and winning thousands of miles. After occupying the West, our strength is the most powerful."
"Old Jiang, Liu Huajian should be back. You should notify Kong Fanquan again. We must discuss it carefully. This is related to our future life and death. We must not be careless. Although the plan is good, the road must be taken step by step. In this process, if you are not careful, you will be doomed."
"Yes! The general planned so carefully and thoughtfully that Lao Liu and Lao Kong would not have anything to say. Besides, since they had decided to cross the river with the general, they would just follow the general and would not have any words."
Cheng Qun smiled and nodded, "As long as we are united, it will be easy, but I wonder who will come to Beijing this time?"
The one who came to Beijing was Cao Yi, the chief assistant of the dynasty. This was something Cheng Qun never expected. When he saw Cao Yi, who was so skinny and skinny that he was like a beating flower, appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.
"Cheng Qun, you have killed me!" Cao Yi jumped off the horse, without any of the style of the chief minister of the Great Yue Dynasty and the number one civil servant in the world. He strode towards Cheng Qun, looking at the other party, full of anger, unwillingness and anger.
"Cheng Qun has met the Prime Minister!" Cheng Qun was a little frightened for a moment. Cao Yi was not a person who could easily deceive. His plans might be able to easily deceive others, but in front of this person, he was afraid that he would have a little flaw and be clear about it.
"I have met the Chief Supervisor!" Behind Cheng Qun, a large group of senior generals bowed and bowed.
Cao Yi narrowed his eyes. From this small detail, he had fully felt that Cheng Qun had completely controlled the army. Jiang Guangyu, Liu Huajian, and Kong Fanquan divided the Leopard Guard, the Leader Guard, and the Qianniu Guard. Their positions were only half a square lower than Cheng Qun, but the three of them were willing to stay behind Cheng Qun. Obviously, they had reached a consensus, and Cheng Qun was also in a mess.
"Forget it, I rode alone thousands of miles and passed through the rebels' controlled area along the way, but I was in danger of death and I was not in the mood to be polite to everyone now. General Cheng, you'd better get me a basin of hot water first, let me take a nice bath, and then get a large table of food and drinks, and have a good meal with me?" Cao Yi said generously. When dealing with these soldiers, it's best to put away the routine, otherwise you'll have to eat turtles.
Sure enough, Cao Yi was so generous that all the generals were calling him.
"Who doesn't know that although the Prime Minister is the leader of the minister and the top of the civil servant, he is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. How can this little thing be difficult for the adults to be unlucky!" Cheng Qun smiled and said, "Come on, wait for the Prime Minister to take a bath before."
Cao Yi threw the whip to Cao Zhixia behind him, and walked forward and said to Cheng Qun: "Well, General Cheng, maybe there is another important guest coming later. You might as well prepare more wine and food."
There are not many people who can be called an important guest by Cao Yi. Cheng Qun's heart moved, and Cao Yi continued: "I accidentally saw the whistle cavalry of the Anqing border army on the way here, so I sent my family member Zhiqiu to invite them General Yunhui Yun Zhao. When calculating, it should be soon!" To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. m
