"The water of Canglang is clear. I can wash my tassels; the water of Canglang is turbid, and my feet are turbid. 6 Changying is obviously a person who is moving with the world. When Anshi wants to stay in the temple, but when he is in chaos, he wants to avoid disaster. But when he speaks about the clear stream and does not talk about turbid things, he is actually a cunning person." Zhuge Ting had a bad feeling about the 6 Qing. Of course, it is very likely that he was resistant to his name "clean stream". After all, Zhuge Ting was once a loyal minister and righteous man in the hearts of the imperial people. Now, although he is so powerful on the surface, he has become the name of a traitor behind his back.

At this moment, when Zhang Guangyuan asked him, Liu Qing felt a little disdainful. Because he knew that Zhang Guangyuan was using himself as a shield to deal with Cao Shiwu, and he was also forcing himself to stand on his side. This trick was a bit too much.

However, the 6th Qing did not support going out immediately, and he did not want to make a wrong decision because of Cao Shiwu's anger. He thought for a while and said resolutely: "You must not fight blindly at this time, Grandmaster! Please see, although our Hai'an Town is only more than fifty miles away from Zhenhai Mansion. You can reach it in two hours along the water, but there is Nantong Mansion behind us. The coalition forces stationed two 10,000 brigades in Nantong Mansion. These two 10,000 brigades are the main force of the coalition. These two 10,000 brigades have no sign of moving. Once our army starts to attack Zhenhai Mansion, they will inevitably be attacked from the front and back. If it is really delayed, the enemies of Zhenjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion will come to help. Even if our army can retreat from the sea, we cannot explain the results of this battle to the Lord?"

"What do you mean by 6 Staff? Could it be that our army will just wait like this? This is an enemy-occupied area. We only brought seven days of food and grass. Now five days have passed. If we don't attack Zhenhai Mansion, we can only go ashore to attack the Allied Forces' towns for supply." Cao Shiwu snorted coldly, his eyes glared at 6 Changying like lightning. However, he did not hear clearly what 6 Qing said that we should not fight blindly, not that we should not fight.

The reason why Cao Shiwu was so impulsive was, on the one hand, because Zhang Guangyuan refuted his face, and 6 Qing openly refused to support Ruan; on the other hand, it was because he looked down on these Jiangnan families from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, it was not only Cao Shiwu, but also the northern family in the imperial capital. Since Taizu founded his country, he has been in conflict with the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. If it were not for Taizu's power at that time, and the generals of the various families under him were mostly brothers to discuss friendships, seeking common ground while reserving differences, which would have long led to disagreement.

As time goes by, the proportion of the northern families in the empire's high-level leadership is increasing, and many of the Jiangnan families that were first-class families at the beginning of the founding of the country. For example, the Sun family, the six families, and the Gu family have gradually become second-rate families, and many families have even disappeared into the long river of history.

This situation has become increasingly serious in conflicts between major families in the south of the Yangtze River and various families in the north. Both sides dislike each other. One side believes that the other party is just a tyrant who has risen in the troubled times. Even though it has been over a thousand years, it is still a despicable thief; the other side regards the other party as a representative of greed and cowardly who only pays attention to interests and has no blood.

Now in the imperial capital, except for the Taishi family and the Sun family who have tough voices and officials, the rest of the Jiangnan family are all relying on others.

In this case, the northern families looked down on the Jiangnan family except the Taishi family and the Sun family, and the Jiangnan family were surprisingly united and united in fighting against the powerful invasion of the northern families.

In addition, Jiangnan has been a place with a rich and civilized Jiangnan since ancient times. Taizu established his country and traded overseas. Although the Jiangnan family was frustrated in politics, they were like fish in water in the shopping mall. They took advantage of their advantage of controlling most of the imperial navy to trade with various countries. After a thousand-year exhibition, the Imperial Jiangnan provinces, southern Fujian provinces, and eastern Guangdong provinces are all the most prosperous places of the Empire. The taxes paid by these provinces each year account for 40% of the Empire. The top ten wealthy families in the Empire occupied seven people. Among them, the Sun family and the six families ranked first and second.

Moreover, in terms of military affairs, the Pent Wolf Legion (formerly Blood Salvation Legion), Jingtao Legion, Fu Navy Legion, and Hengbo Legion controlled by the Jiangnan family are all elites of the Empire. Among them, the Pent Wolf Legion is one of the top ten legions of the Empire, and one of the three full cavalry corpses of the Empire (two out of two are the Flying Tiger Army and Shura Army, see the main text for details), and Jingtao, Ku Hai, and Hengbo are the top three naval legions in the Empire.

Although after the battle at Zhenhai Mansion half a year ago, the Imperial Navy suffered heavy losses, and the Hengbo Army, which belonged to the six families, was wiped out. In order to avoid the coalition navy, the Nori Navy Army was forced to go south and flee far away to Ryukyu Island to defend and station.

The only one who has been preserved intact Sun's family, the Jingtao Army has been hiding in a certain lake. This time, some elite troops were dispatched to assist Zhang Guangyuan in counterattacking Zhenhai Mansion.

Therefore, even if the northern families do not look down on the Jiangnan family, they still have to rely on the taxes paid by the provinces in Jiangnan to promote technology, military affairs, and support major legions affiliated to the central government, and rely on several major naval legions of the Jiangnan family to defend coastal defense.

Once someone here has a strange ambition, it is equivalent to handing over the empire's Dongdu Zhenhai, or even the southeast coast.

Under this situation, even if Cao Shiwu looked down on Liu Qing and even secretly despised his businessman's nature, he did not dare to be too presumptuous. When he questioned, he could only make excuses.

But the tone is really unreasonable.

6 Qing didn't care about Cao Shiwu's noise at all, and smiled faintly and said, "It's of course no good for us to wait. I didn't say I won't fight, I just couldn't attack directly."

"Where should I fight? Please give me advice from the Chief of Staff." Deputy Corps Commander Guan Wentai asked.

The housekeeper is also a northern family and has always been famous for his good family with Yuan. However, after Guan Zhongyun's death, he gradually turned to the Zhuge family and was close to Zhang Guangyuan. Zhang Guangyuan also knew that with his current power, the housekeeper could not surrender. Although the other party's legion had been broken up, as long as the National Assembly and the Military Department did not revoke its organization, the housekeeper could recruit soldiers and rise again at any time.

Moreover, Zhang Guangyuan was not stingy with secret support, establishing an enemy for Lei Dongfeng, or burying a thunderbolt for the ambitious Zhuge Ting.

6 Qing turned his head and looked at Zhang Guangyuan, but Zhang Guangyuan didn't say anything. When both of his main subordinates spoke of hostility towards 6 Qing, Zhang Guangyuan hesitated.

6 Qing sighed secretly, knowing that these majestic senior imperial officers in front of him all had their own ulterior motives, and they used all the imperial affairs as tools for fame and fortune.

But the 6th Qing Dynasty was just a small representative of the family generation, and his position was even cheaper. He could only focus on family interests for many things. He forced himself to cheer up and pointed to the map and said: "Master General, half of the defense of Zhenhai Mansion is lying on the East China Sea, and the 6th and the other side are surrounded by Nantong Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture. So if you want to attack from the sea without disturbing the Westerners' attack..."

"6 Changying, we have known what you said long ago..." Cao Shiwu was a little impatient.

"Cao Shi Regiment, please listen to the 6th Chief of Staff!" Zhang Guangyuan glared at Cao Shiwu.

"Here!" Cao Shiwu snorted coldly.

"My suggestion is that our army will divide a part of the Huaihe River and move westward again, penetrate the Yangtze River, and take the night to attack Nantong Prefecture, attract all the enemies in Suzhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, and must attack as soon as possible. We must act like a side army that accidentally entered, but the attack must be strong. In this way, it will not cause panic to transfer the enemy troops who have been transferred back to the Zhenhai Prefecture. However, it will not cause the enemy to pay attention to it and come to assist Nantong Prefecture. Most of our army will return to the sea route, and half a day after the Cao army attacks, attack Zhenhai Prefecture directly at dawn!" The 6 Qing general pointed his finger at the red dot representing Zhenhai Prefecture.

"Who is this side army that lures the enemy?" Zhang Guangyuan thought for a moment and asked.

Guan Wentai and Cao Shiwu both subconsciously looked at each other. Although they were standing in the same trench when they were hostile to the 6th Qing Dynasty, they were absolutely out of sync with the sucking of the other's troops.

"In this battle, we cannot lure the enemy without a brave general." 6 said lightly.

"Cao Shi Regiment, I will give you 1,500 elite cavalry and 3,000 elite armored soldiers. The Zhou family's Fengyi Navy will cooperate with you to attack Nantong for the side army!" Zhang Guangyuan hesitated for a moment and said resolutely.

"Masterman... Look!" Cao Shiwu glared at Liu Qing fiercely and said helplessly.

~~~~~~~~

On November 2, 999, Dangtu County, 90 miles upstream of Jinling Prefecture, the imperial province of Jiangnan, was located in Dangtu County.

"I wish you all!" On the shore, a row of Western Alliance soldiers saluted respectfully, watching nearly a hundred warships on the river go away.

For these soldiers from the Baode Kingdom of the West 6 small countries, the fleet of the Shenwei Army is like a god to them.

Moreover, although these great men of the Divine Power Army were a little arrogant, they did not do anything like the rumors. The leading commander even rewarded the centurion with 100 imperial gold coins for the centurion who had been busy loading and unloading materials.

You should know that for a "small country widowed soldier" like Baode, there were only a few thousand people who sent to participate in the coalition. However, because there was no one above and below, the Baode Hundreds, who were assigned to a place like Dangtu, where there were poor mountains and rivers, and there were still several imperial rebels, had no chance to make money. Every day, he hid behind the short city walls, occasionally watching warships passing by on the river, but he could only envy him.

Therefore, this pair of soldiers praised this passing Shenwei army from their hearts.

"Haha, after passing through more than ten counties and towns along the way, it was so smooth. It really made our army blessed." Gareth stood on the boat, looking at the surging river, and praised.

"What kind of god is there? There is really a master god. First, I will kill the hateful Rembrandt and Julio." Rehager said in a muffled voice.

"Haha, no matter whether it is the protection of the Lord God or not, what we have to do now is to think about how to get through Hanjiangkou, whether to fight or not!" Ars smiled.

"Yes, Hanjiangkou is only thirty miles away from Jinling Mansion. It only takes an hour for the fast ships to go downstream. According to the people who have been preserved just now, at least 5,000 troops from the Sisli Royal Navy were stationed. If we don't fight, our army's retreat will be given to them. If we fight, as long as we escape one person, we may be known by the enemy in Jinling Mansion, and we will even fall into the crazy siege and blockade of the Western coalition forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!" Lei Dongfeng said.

"Sisley Royal Navy, Brother Lei, I remember that in the Central and South China Province, Jing Mingyang surrendered a group of Sisley soldiers, right?" Li Ruoxi asked.
