Chapter 677 Prepare for War
Liang State is in a strong momentum. If all forces in the world want to survive and make a difference, they must suppress Liang State's momentum.
Since ancient times, the world will be divided for a long time, and the world will be divided for a long time. In the arena of the Central Plains, there can only be one winner in the end.
This makes it possible that once a force emerges and is too outstanding, many forces around him will be hostile to him and want to pull him off.
Therefore, when Gao Huan and Zheng Zhilong had a conflict, all forces were ready to move.
Now Zheng Zhilong decided to compromise, but he was worried that once the troops of the four countries were withdrawn, Gao Huan would not return to Xianxia Pass, so he did not immediately notify all parties. The remaining four countries had not received news that the Zheng family would ced Chongming.
After hearing Gao Huan's words, Du Yinxi walked to the edge of the sand table and pointed at Jingzhou with a wooden stick. "According to the news from the scouts, Zhang Xianzhong learned that the king was going to attack the Zheng family, so he set out from Chengdu and set off for Jingzhou, preparing to send 200,000 troops to attack Wuchang. In terms of time, Zhang Xianzhong went downstream and the people should have arrived in Jingzhou City."
After the defeat in Wuchang, Zhang Xianzhong was resentful and wanted to take revenge, but he had no chance.
In the last battle in Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong showed all his elite troops, but he suffered a tragic failure, which made him realize the gap between the Western Army and the Liang Army.
In addition, in the past two years, Sun Kewang has been missing to deal with internal affairs. The government affairs of the Western country are in a mess. In two years, the strength has only been barely restored and has not made any progress.
Under such circumstances, the Western Army did not advance, and the Liang Army was stronger than more than two years ago. Zhang Xianzhong could only stay in Sichuan, feeling depressed and did not dare to seek revenge on Gao Huan alone.
Now Gao Huan wants to fight Zheng Zhilong, the Northern Ming, Qing Dynasty, and Shunguo support Zheng Zhilong, so Zhang Xianzhong saw the opportunity.
If the Daxi River goes alone, it is definitely not a match for the Liang army. Now the Liang Kingdom has to face the Zheng family, the Northern Ming, the Qing Dynasty, and the Shun Kingdom at the same time, so Zhang Xianzhong's chance will come.
This is a god-given opportunity for Zhang Xianzhong. If he doesn't seize it, he may never wait for such an opportunity again in the future.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly left Chengdu and prepared to go to Jingzhou. He took advantage of Gao Huan's melee with all parties to regain Wuchang, and even took over Jiangxi and Nanjing to avenge his previous revenge.
Gao Huan came from the Military Intelligence Driver Office and had already learned about the movements of the Western Army. He nodded slightly and "continue."
"In the direction of Guanzhong, Li Jiyu gathered a hundred thousand troops and secretly arrived in Shanzhou. He must have wanted to attack Luoyang." Du Yinxi pointed at the vicinity of Luoyang with a wooden pole, and then moved eastward to Hebei and Shandong. "The pseudo-Ming and Manchu Qing stationed a hundred thousand troops in Huaiqing. He wanted to cooperate with Li Jiyu to capture Henan, and then gathered a twenty-hundred thousand troops in Yanzhou north of Xuzhou. It was estimated that he was heading straight to the two Huai Rivers and drinking horses in the Yangtze River."
Gao Huan looked at the sand table and the signs on it, and basically understood the strategic goals of Li Jiyu, the Qing Dynasty and the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty.
Among the five countries' attacks on Liang, these three families are closest in their neighborhoods and have cooperated many times before.
Judging from the arrangement of the troops of the three families, Li Jiyu and the Qing army advanced to the east and west of Henan, intending to annex the entire Henan territory.
The Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming heavy troops were stationed in the north of Xuzhou, and they obviously wanted to push them along the Grand Canal to Yangzhou and fight to the edge of the Yangtze River.
It seems that this time, the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming were ambitious and intended to eat the territory north of the Liang Kingdom's Yangtze River in one battle.
This surprised Gao Huan a little. The appetite of the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty actually wanted to take this opportunity to force him into a dead end. However, Liang State was not Qi State, and Gao Huan did not intend to attack the Zheng family. Their plans were destined to fail.
After listening to Du Yinxi's narration, Gao Huan nodded slightly and smiled easily: "The enemy has a lot of troops! It seems that the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and Shunguo were thriving in the country and were going to fight with me."
Zhang Xianzhong did not count. The Northern Ming, Qing Dynasty, Shun Kingdom and the Three Kingdoms sent nearly 400,000 troops, which was very aggressive, but Gao Huan didn't care.
Although there are many soldiers in the enemy army, the real elite soldiers can be at least half-folded, with a maximum of 200,000 people.
After hearing the introduction, Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "The remaining four kings have dispatched more than 600,000 troops, while our army has left 100,000 troops to guard Jiangnan to guard Zheng Zhilong, and the only 450,000 troops left. If the troops stationed in various places are removed, the final troops can be mobilized will be only about 300,000."
Gao Huan waved his hand and said calmly: "Thirty hundred thousand is enough! Zhang Xianzhong is going all the way, and I can retreat with a letter! Li Jiyu is not afraid. The only ones I really want to deal with are the 300,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty."
As he said that, Gao Huan stood up, walked to the sand table, took the wooden pole handed over by Du Yinxi, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why the four countries mobilized their troops and prepared to attack our Daliang is because they felt that I attacked Zheng Zhilong, and they took the opportunity to attack, and there was a risk to take. Now the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty have been trapped and gathered their troops to the front line of the Yellow River. My previous goal has been achieved. At this time, what I have to do is to compromise Zheng Zhilong and release the news that the Liang Kingdom will not go to war with the Zheng family!"
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he understood Gao Huan's meaning, "All forces thought that Daliang would go to war with Zheng Zhilong, so they mobilized their troops to launch troops to attack, so that the fisherman could benefit. Now that the dispute between Daliang and Zheng Zhilong was terminated, all forces would definitely be disappointed and relaxed when they saw that there was no chance. At this time, if the king suddenly attacked, he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy!"
"Not bad!" Gao Huan nodded slightly, "It is the most inconvenient for Zhang Xianzhong to mobilize troops. Now that others have arrived in Jingzhou, most of the troops are still on the way out of Sichuan. I will send a letter to inform the Zheng family that they have compromised and that they are ready to fight. Zhang Xianzhong will definitely hesitate."
Gao Huan paused and continued, "Zhang Xianzhong hesitated and gave me time."
Sun Chuanting said: "Li Jiyu, the pseudo-Ming, when the Qing Dynasty heard the news of the reconciliation between the king and the Zheng family, they would hesitate. The king suddenly attacked and would definitely kill the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming. When Zhang Xianzhong, Zheng Zhilong, and Li Jiyu reacted, the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming had been defeated, and they had no choice."
Gao Huan nodded slightly, pointed at the sand table with a wooden pole and said, "The army of the pseudo-Ming and the Qing Dynasty totaled 300,000,000 were deployed in Huaiqing and 200,000 were in Yanzhou. If I suddenly attacked, which one should I eat!"
Sun Chuanting, Gao Mingheng and others looked at him, and Gao Huan pointed at Huaiqing on the north bank of Kaifeng, as well as the 200,000 enemy troops gathered near Yanzhou in the north of Xuzhou and in Yanzhou.
Sun Chuanting and Gao Mingheng said in unison: "The 200,000 enemy troops in Yanzhou should be eaten!"
Gao Huan also meant this, but he still asked: "Tell me the reason!"
Gao Mingheng said: "The enemy army in Yanzhou is the most advanced, most prominent, and most convenient for our army to raid."
Sun Chuanting said: "Since you are unpredictable to attack, you must naturally confuse the 200,000 enemy troops in Yanzhou first. Moreover, in terms of our army's military deployment, you can only attack Yanzhou before you are unpredictable. Fighting Huaiqing will easily make the enemy alert."
"In order to prevent the Qing army from retreating and fleeing, and to deter other forces, they dare not attack Liang in groups. Only by annihilating the 200,000 enemy troops in Yanzhou can we achieve the goal of severely damaging the Qing Dynasty and the pseudo-Ming Dynasty, and intimidating the various countries." Du Yinxi also supported.
If you want to fight, you can defeat the enemy with the largest stock, and defeat the Qing Dynasty and Beiming in one battle.
"Haha!" Gao Huan laughed, "You are very fond of appetite! I agree, but my main force is near Yangzhou, how can I be surprised? How can I prevent these 200,000 enemy troops from escaping?"
Sun Chuanting pointed to Dongyu: "When the main force was pretending to the south, he hid 50,000 troops in various farms in eastern Henan according to the king's intention. These 50,000 people could suddenly attack and go straight to the rear of Yanzhou to cut off the Qing army's return. The king led the troops in Yangzhou. The Huai'an army quickly headed north and attacked the enemy in Yanzhou forward and backward, and would definitely be able to win."
Previously, in order to confuse the Qing army, Gao Huan transferred the elite troops from the northern line to the southern line to Yangzhou Prefecture, and made an attitude of crossing the sea to recover Chongming.
During the process of mobilizing the army, Gao Huan took advantage of the night to hide some of the troops and horses in the state-owned farms on the eastern Henan plains, and transferred the tenants on the farm to the south.
Gao Huan held his arms and looked on the sand table for a while, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the enemy's army knew that the retreat was cut off, Huaiqing's 100,000 enemy troops would definitely come to support, and the 200,000 enemy troops in Yanzhou would also send troops to open up the retreat route, and the 50,000 soldiers who broke into Shandong would be in danger!"
Sun Chuanting clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead the 50,000 army until the king leads the main force to drive."
Gao Huan was energetic when he heard the speech, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly clenched his fists, "Okay! For three days, if you persist for three days, I will definitely lead the army to kill you!"
