Chapter 81 Scarlet March (2)

This time, the Southern Han Dynasty had no objection to the revenge of the Guizhou-managed area, but there was a dispute over the specific time of the dispatch of troops.

The powerful troops in the army, including Pan Chongche, the Minister of the Southern Han Dynasty, were quick-war factions, and insisted that soldiers were the most important and fast. They should take advantage of the good opportunity when the Chu and Tang soldiers were sent to Wu and Yue, and they had no time to look west, and take over the Guizhou-managed area with thunder.

The others all became rationalists, insisting that the war trend between the Tang and Wu and Yue was still unclear, and they should be observed for a while before taking action. If the Gui-manufacturing area is delayed and the Chu-Tang coalition forces won, and they invaded the Southern Han at the same time from the coast and land on land, the Southern Han will be in danger.

Pan Chongche scoffed at this argument. He raised his fingers and counted the comparison of the forces of the Southern Tang attack on Fujian in the past few years and the current attack on Wu and Yue, and proved that the attack on Wu and Yue this time was definitely a flawless and ignorant. They might be able to achieve some results at sea, but on land, they will definitely lose.

Because the pro-war faction returned from a crushing defeat last year, the rational faction also had more confidence to be with Eunuch Pan, and he unceremoniously revealed his shortcomings: Last year, the eunuch general Wu Huaien also vowed to take Guiguan before going to war. At that time, there were only a few thousand Chu soldiers in the Guiguan area, but he encountered a demon Lin Feng and returned in a crushing defeat. Now, the Chu-Tang coalition troops in the Guiguan area have more than 10,000 soldiers in the Chu-Tang coalition forces in the Guiguan area, and they are very difficult to attack. The Southern Tang sent troops to Wu Yue this time, Lin Feng, Lin Feng, which was more than before when he attacked Fujian. The victory and loss are hard to say. Don’t act rashly. After another crushing defeat, the Southern Han will not be far from the destruction of the country.

After the war in Guizhou and the scary "Jingguan" mountain, Lin Feng's notoriety even had the effect of deterring children from crying in the Southern Han Dynasty. Various rumors spread widely, and demons were already a relatively conservative statement.

Pan Chongche, who was stabbed and hurt his foot, turned his face red and said angrily: If Gui Guan can't win on the war, he will never talk about military affairs.

The King of Southern Han, Liu Sheng, was also criticized by everyone, and finally made a compromise plan to send troops: Pan Chongche as the commander of the Western Expedition, took the Xingqing Prefecture, and continued to recruit Han soldiers from other regions as reinforcements; Xie Guan was the deputy commander, leading 40,000 imperial guards to take the lead in the expedition, which means that if Xie Guan's 40,000 people's progress was not smooth, he would not play any further later. The loss of 40,000 people in the Southern Han could withstand. No matter how many, it would be a trauma.

For a time, the Guizhou-managed area will fall into a bloody storm again after four months.

At this time, Lin Feng, who was repeatedly worried about by the Southern Han Dynasty, finally waited for Liu Qi, whom he wanted to see the most in Jianzhou Jiedu Mansion, and told him about the next stage of the attack plan, asked him to notify the pirate leader Jia Yuhang, and he brought more than a dozen special soldiers to Jianzhou (now Nanping, Fujian).

On the evening of March 10, Lin Feng rushed to Jianzhou. At this time, Jianzhou became the dispatching center of the Southern Tang army. All the martial law was strictly prohibited. No one had the approval documents jointly signed by Chen Hui, the governor of Jianzhou, and General Lin Feng, Yunhui, and did not think of walking a step at all.

While Lin Feng arrived at the Jianzhou Governor's Mansion, Chen Hui had just rushed back from Fuzhou City 200 miles away. Chen Hui, who had not seen Lin Feng for several days, grabbed Lin Feng's hands and praised loudly: "Brother Lin, after hearing the overall layout of this battle before, Chen could only sigh: I felt ashamed of myself, and I am afraid of my youth. When I went to Fuzhou, King Qi chatted with me all the way about you, poetry, skills, inventions, changes, and military training... I was even more puzzled, what else could Lord Lin not do.

Lin Feng looked embarrassed and quickly said modestly: "I am involved in everything and everything is loose. Unlike Chen's envoy, who is good at training troops. After this battle, the Jianzhou soldiers' reputation will surely be famous all over the world."

"Of course." Chen Hui raised his face proudly, and pulled Lin Feng into the mansion with a smile.

"The King of Qi should not have anything under the city of Fuzhou." Lin Feng asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there is no problem in protecting oneself in 10,000 Jianzhou troops." Chen Hui said confidently. According to their plans with King Qi in Jianzhou, there were only 10,000 real soldiers who forced into Fuzhou. The remaining 20,000 were all played by civilians, while the other 20,000 Jianzhou troops all sneaked to Jianzhou and prepared to raid Quanzhou.

"Brother Lin, when do you expect the joint fleet to reach the Fuzhou boundary?" Chen Hui asked, walking to the map of the study.

Lin Feng looked northwest, measured the map with his knuckles, and calculated: "The fleet set off from Jinling on March 2nd and went out to sea on March 4th. According to the original daily sea advance of 80 miles, we can reach the sea outside Wuyue East Prefecture today and tomorrow."

Chen Hui also stepped forward and gestured a few times, slapped the wall and sighed: "If the journey is unhindered, the fleet should arrive at the coast of Fuzhou around March 18th."

Just as Lin Feng and Chen Hui and others calculated that the commander of Zhan Zhaodu, Ma Kegui, led more than 300 warships to Hangzhou Bay on the morning of March 11. The mast forest of Wuyue warships could be seen from afar. After secretly leading a telescope to observe the number of enemy ships, Ma Kegui divided the joint fleet into two, and 110 sea falcons surrounded the west side in a fan shape, surrounding Hangzhou Bay for three floors; more than 200 other double-vehicle ships gathered in the direction of the Zhoushan Islands in the southwest.

On the evening of March 11, Ma Kegui, who had been waiting for the Wuyue naval army for a day, secretly led all the two-chariot warships to quietly bypass the Zhoushan Islands and headed south at full speed.

On the evening of March 15, the vanguard fleet, which was leading the way, sent a man who claimed to be a special force soldier Liu Qi to Ma Kegui's ship. Ma Kegui verified that Liu Qigai had a letter from General Lin Feng of Yunhui. After understanding the next plan, he immediately ordered the fleet to lift all the sails and go straight to Quanzhou.

On the morning of March 17, Nan Tang suddenly sent an envoy straight into Quanzhou City and handed an ultimatum to the Qingyuan Jiedushi Liu Congxiao, declaring that the Jianzhou army besieged Fuzhou City captured 100 soldiers wearing Quanzhou white military uniforms, and asked why Liu Congxiao did not obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty and sent troops to secretly assist Wu Yue, ordering him to hand over the envoy within two days, otherwise don't blame the swords and soldiers to meet.

Liu Congxiao's nose was almost irritated. I was crazy. At this time, only one hundred soldiers were sent to cross the border. But just in case, he urgently asked Zhang Hansi and Chen Hong, the deputy commander of the North and South Camp, who were also confused and strongly denied it.

The messenger who received the answer to "See You" was dressed by special forces Zhao Tianba. He pulled out two sets of Qingyuan's military uniforms dyed with blood from behind and threw them on the ground. He pulled out his waist knife and chopped the clothes to pieces. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

Liu Congxiao also angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, his face turned ashen.

At noon on March 18, Liu Congxiao suddenly received two urgent reports:

The first thing we arrived was news from the north. There were 20,000 Tang soldiers who should have been separated from Fuzhou. They suddenly set out to station on the Wuyue border on the north side of Dehua, claiming to investigate the traitors in Qingyuan's army, and demanding that they immediately withdraw the defenders and hand over the envoy behind the scenes. Then, an urgent report was also heard from Datian County on the western front that 30,000 Jianzhou troops suddenly broke out from the direction of Yong'an, Jianzhou, swept across the border, and came straight east.

Hearing the urgent report, Liu Congxiao was furious and urgently ordered 10,000 Beida camp soldiers to immediately drive north to Dehua to block the enemy in the north. Ten thousand Beida camp soldiers were stationed in Nan'an and Yongchun west of Quanzhou to block the enemy in the west layer by layer. At the same time, they urgently summoned civil and military generals in Quanzhou to discuss.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city sent a letter of arrow, saying that the extremely arrogant envoy shot into the city the day before yesterday. Liu Congxiao opened it and saw only two words: hand over the mastermind before the morning and the moon, otherwise the city would be massacred.

Liu Congxiao threw the ultimatum with a twisted letter to the generals attending the meeting and said angrily: "Xiao Tang is really too bullying. The whole army is ready for war and fight with them."

Just as their army was discussing how to deal with the Southern Tang army, the commander of the Zhanba garrison at Hui'an Port came another shocking bad news: at least two hundred double-chariot warships suddenly appeared on the sea on the north side, and had attacked them and were heading towards Quanzhou.

At this time, no matter how stupid a person is, he understood that the Southern Tang had made so many tricks, and the ultimate goal was the Qingyuan Army.

The civil and military officials present looked at Kang Renjie in shock and anger at the stunned Kang Renjie. The same idea came to everyone's mind: "Chu and Tang jointly took action in Fuzhou" was analyzed by Kang Renjie. All of them were analyzed by him. He has always been the Southern Tang's detailed work.

Chen Hongjin roared angrily, drew his sword and came forward to chop Kang Renjie. Liu Congxiao stopped shouting, pointing at Kang Renjie and said nothing.

Kang Renjie knelt down and cried, "I didn't expect that Lin thief was so cunning, his subordinates were stupid, and he was deceived. Please leave the envoy to the clerk. If the subordinates were Lin thief's detailed work, there would be countless opportunities to slip away in the past two days, and there was no need to participate in this military discussion. However, the subordinates did not leave, and the subordinates were loyal. Please send the envoy to the clerk."

Liu Congxiao's face was gloomy and silent, and waved his hand to signal Kang Renjie to take Kang Renjie away and imprison him.

Chen Hongjin took a step forward and said anxiously: "Listen to the police. The little man in Lin has a group of special forces who are good at fighting. In order to prevent raids, I suggest that all the special forces soldiers in Beidaying besiege besieged into the city and protect the minister."

Liu Congxiao thought of Kang Renjie who had just taken away again, and thought about the suspicious things about the special forces soldiers in Beidaying that he secretly received in his daily life. He shook his head gently and said, "There are eight thousand guards at the top of Quanzhou City, and I have three thousand Liu's soldiers in the city. I will definitely keep my husband safe and sound. Special forces are a weapon in the army, and it is better to send them to spy on military information."

Subsequently, the emergency order was issued:

The entire city gate is closed, and no one is allowed to enter and exit without military orders;

All warships urgently entered the Dadu Island at the entrance of Quanzhou Bay; North and South Camps each sent 10,000 soldiers to the Xiagong north of Quanzhou Bay and Shaxiang battalions in the south, and formed a triangular force with the Dadu Navy to prevent the enemy from coming from the sea, and no Chu and Tang navy could be left further west.

The remaining 20,000 soldiers in Nandaying were stationed at the four gates of Quanzhou and were ready to be dispatched at any time.

Just as the Quanzhou military proposal announced the dissolution, Zhang Hansi and Chen Hongjin led their respective deputy generals and personal guards out of the envoy's mansion, a pregnant woman in the country kept shouting "Ouch" and was pushed to the gate of the Xicheng City of Quanzhou by two strong men in a car.
