Chapter 725 Disrupting the Plan

After the Liang army recovered Changsha, Zhang Xianzhong led his army back to Huguang to guard against the Liang army to drive the Western army into Sichuan.

The Western Army increased its troops towards Huguang, and the Liang Army also increased its troops towards Huguang. The two sides fought along the Xiangjiang River, and the atmosphere was very tense.

After Zhang Xianzhong returned to Huguang, considering the gap with Liang State, he only deployed defense along the Xiangjiang River and did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Liang army.

Gao Huan's target was not Zhang Xianzhong, but Zheng Zhilong. He wanted to increase troops to the west to enter Fujian by using Guangdong.

Therefore, the Liang army gathered in Huguang and did not take the initiative to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

The two armies gathered heavily in Huguang, and the Xiangjiang River was covered with clouds, which attracted the attention of all parties, but in fact neither side had the intention to start a war.

In Nanjing City, in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Gao Huan summoned many confidant civil and military officials to discuss the destruction of Zheng.

In recent years, Gao Huan has built a large number of landmark buildings in Nanjing.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army is one of them. Unlike the previous construction of wood, the Governor's Office of the Five Army is built with bricks and stones, with only a small amount of wood.

From the appearance, the Governor's Office of the Five Army is still a standard Chinese-style building, but the internal structure and space have undergone great changes.

The most distinctive one among them is a very wide hall with many maps hanging on the walls and an extremely huge sand table in the middle. Many of the Liang army's combat plans were formulated here.

Gao Huan was wearing a dragon robe, a winged crown, and standing in front of the sand table with a belt in his hand. A group of arrogant soldiers and generals were standing beside him in military uniforms.

At this time, Du Yinxi pointed at the sand table with a wooden pole and introduced the plan to destroy Zheng to everyone.

"The strategy approved by the military officials in this battle to defeat Fujian and Yue is summarized in four words - directly attacking Huanglong."

Gao Huan stared at the sand table, "Tell me specifically!"

Du Yinxi pointed at Fujian with a wooden pole, "Zheng Zhilong deployed a lot of troops in Zhejiang, southern Jiangxi, and heavy troops were also stationed in northern Fujian. If he entered the air from the front, the Zheng army would rely on the terrain, and the war would be long-lasting. Therefore, the military officials' opinion was to ignore Ganzhou and Zhejiang, and the army would mainly attack Fujian. As long as Fujian was taken, the southern Jiangxi and eastern Zhejiang could be decided."

If the Liang army took over Fujian and captured the Zheng family's nest, the Zheng army in southern Ganzhou would become an isolated army and could only surrender.

Seeing that Zheng's nest was occupied by Liang's army, he was indeed unable to resist and most of them chose to surrender.

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Then the problem now is how to conquer Fujian."

Du Yinxi pointed out with a wooden pole: "There are five roads to go to the army to enter Fujian. The first is to take east and south Zhejiang, advance along the coast, and attack Fujian through the water pass; the second is to capture southern Jiangxi and break into Tingzhou, Fujian; the third is to attack the Xianxia Pass and Cenyang Pass from Jiangxi, and attack into Fujian; the fourth is to go to Guangdong and sneak attack on Zhangquan, Fujian; the fifth is to take the sea route. According to the plan of the military commanders, the third and fourth are to go to the emperor. At that time, the king led his troops to attack Xianxia Pass and Cenyang Pass to attract the attention of the Zheng army, and then he went out of Guangdong to attack Fuzhou."

Gao Huan nodded, "What's going on in Guangdong? Has Wang Jingde secretly entered Guangdong?"

Du Yinxi said: "After Yuan Zongdi occupied Changsha, he collected Hengyang, Chenzhou and other places to the south, and the road to Guangdong has been opened. According to the information sent back from Huguang, Li Yuanyin has led 10,000 vanguards to Guangdong."

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction when he heard the words, "Okay, after the side troops enter Guangdong and are ready, I will immediately raise troops to attack Zheng Zhilong!"

At this moment, Gao Huan asked the military officers and the military officers of the Five Army Governor's Office to continue to formulate and improve plans to attack and destroy the Zheng family, and allocate military supplies in advance.

Du Yinxi and the military officers formulated specific details, while Gao Huan rode back to Liang Palace on a horse.

At this time, as soon as Gao Huan arrived in front of the palace, Yang Yan came forward to report, "King, the officials who were polite to Cao came to report, saying that Kong Xingxie, Zhang Tianshi, and Master Ouyi had been to the inn for several days."

Gao Huan repeatedly bearded, "Take them to Taiping Street first to see the missionaries of the Western Yi, and then lead them to the palace."

Yang Yan nodded and saluted, "I understand."

After Gao Huan gave the order, he immediately entered the palace and went to the study to work.

For the past six months, he has stayed in Nanjing and finally got pregnant with the princess and Mrs. Ma. He has completed the task. The two women no longer pester him, so that he can concentrate on fighting for dominance again.

At this time, Gao Huan returned to the study and was dealing with the official documents. The guard suddenly reported, "King, Guangdong urgently reported."

"Come in!" Gao Huan's heart sterned and put down his brush.

The guard entered the study and presented a secret letter that he had just sent.

Zhang Xianzhong has withdrawn his troops from Guangxi and his army is in Huguang and the Liang army is in conflict. What can happen to Guangdong?

Gao Huan took the letter, tore open the wax seal, opened it, and immediately frowned.

The letter was written by Ding Qirui, who informed Ding Kuichu that he had temporarily changed his mind and refused to allow Liang Jun to enter Guangdong.

After reading the letter, Gao Huan couldn't help but feel angry. Whether the Liang Kingdom's plan to destroy Zheng was successful is whether the Liang army could use Guangdong to bypass the Zheng family's frontal defense line and sneak attack Zheng Zhilong from behind.

Now that Ding Kuichu suddenly became a vain, Gao Huan's early preparations were in vain.

At this time, Gao Huan had a dark face and was silent for a while, "Go and summon Du Yinxi and Zhou Yanru."

Du Yinxi had just concluded a plan with the military officers of the Governor's Office of the Five Army and returned to the Councillor's House to coordinate with the household and the workers' issues of money, grain and military capital. He was ready to start the war, and guards came to summon him.

Du Yinxi and Zhou Yanru both happened to be in the Council Council, so they went to Liang Palace to pay homage to Gao Huan.

At this time, the two of them came together and arrived at the gate of the palace. Zhou Yanru walked in and asked Du Yinxi: "Du is concerned about politics, and the king is anxious to summon him, but what big thing happened?"

In the morning, Gao Huan stayed in the Governor's Office with Du Yinxi and discussed plans to destroy the Zheng family. Zhou Yanru thought Du Yinxi knew why Gao Huan summoned him.

Du Yinxi shook his head, "I don't know much, I'll know when I see the king."

Zhou Yanru thought Du Yinxi was unwilling to tell him, and he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. He stopped talking all the way and soon arrived at the flower hall to wait.

At this time, a guard shouted loudly: "The king is here!"

The two of them quickly stood up to greet each other, and then they saw Gao Huan walking in with a dark face.

Gao Huan waved his hand with a black face, "Sit all!"

When the two saw Gao Huan's face, they were a little surprised. They didn't know what was going on, which made King Liang feel unhappy.

After Zhou Yanru sat down, he couldn't help but ask, "The king suddenly summoned him, but something big happened?"

Gao Huan took out Ding Qirui's letter from his sleeve and asked the guards to pass it to the two of them for circulating it. He said angrily: "I am ready, but Ding Kuichu suddenly changed his mind and refused to enter Guangdong by my Daliang soldiers."

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other and quickly read the letter. Zhou Yanru said in a deep voice: "King, the vassal state has formulated a strategy and has prepared money, grain and military funds. Ding Kuichu suddenly changed his mind. Not only did he plan to demolish and re-program, but many of the early preparations were also wasted, and we suffered a lot of losses."
