Chapter 147 Undercurrent(2/2)
Appreciation of the Prime Minister - Lin Fu has just ordered Wang Xiangquan to inform the prefect of Suizhou to assist Cao Ziang in handling government affairs in Suizhou. He has just arrived in Suizhou City from Lishan.
"There are not many families of the surrendered generals living in Suizhou City, which gives many people the opportunity to escape to Lishan. Otherwise, there will be more opportunities for the surrendered generals to escape from the Huaixi Army after the war." Wang Xiang said with regret. Although
At this time, all the troops and horses from Suizhou were surrendered to Huaixi, but after all, the Privy Council had the power to transfer generals. When the military affairs were sorted out, the surrendered generals from Suizhou might not continue to be tied to Huaixi after getting rid of their worries.
On the tree.
Of course, having a small family and relatives is a good bargaining chip, but the Huaidong Army has not yet been able to grasp all these chips.
When Suizhou was captured, the most captured people were Luo Xiancheng's family and relatives. Luo Xiancheng was really extravagant, with more than 120 concubines and concubines under his command. All the officials, wives and daughters of his generals who were attractive should beware of Luo Xiancheng.
This fact alone made few generals dare to leave their children in Suizhou City.
"It's difficult to have both ends," Yue Lengqiu laughed, thinking that Luo Xiancheng couldn't fully trust the king, otherwise he might be able to make a difference in Jingxiang. "How can I be demanding in everything?"
Yue Lengqiu went north to see Dong Yuan, but Huaixi was still unstable, so he wanted to stay in Suizhou to wait and see the situation for a few days.
Cao Zi'ang, who was sitting across from Yue Lengqiu, smiled slightly and ignored the Wang Xiang's regret. If he really wanted to use his family as a pledge, he would be in the inferior position. It was not in line with the overall pattern created by the Lord. Let these Suizhou generals and officials all defect to Huai.
Going west, they can take all the people who are working in the fields without any resistance as officials and distribute them again, which is not without any benefit.
At this time, a guard came in from outside and handed Cao Ziang a secret letter.
Cao Ziang read the secret letter and said to everyone present: "Dong Yuan may have a secret meeting with Zhong Rong at Lishan Camp at this time..."
"He's so bold!" Yue Lengqiu was startled, and Er saved the fact that he shouldn't have said this. Didn't he go into danger alone in Xuzhou to convince Chen Hansan not to kill Liu An'er? Dong Yuan even lost his son.
Well, other than taking dangerous risks, what other clever ideas could he have to get out of Huaidong's hands?
Cao Ziang, Wang Xiang, and Tang Fuguan looked at each other and smiled, turning a blind eye to Yue Lengqiu's embarrassment.
Yue Lengqiu also suppressed his embarrassment and said: "Dong Yuan went to Lishan alone, probably to prevent a wedge between him and Jiang Jun; Duke Chongguo originally intended to take Zhong Rong's head, but this trip may not be possible.
Already..."
Cao Ziang nodded. If Dong Yuan could not appease Li Shan's surrendering army in time, all they needed to do was send an order from the Privy Council to order Dong Yuan to investigate the crimes of the surrendering army generals, and everyone in the surrendering army would be in danger - Dong Yuan went to Lishan alone.
The purpose of Shan was to appease Zhong Rong and other generals before the Privy Council issued the order.
At this time, if an order from the Privy Council is really sent to ask Dong Yuan to liquidate his crime of surrendering the army, Dong Yuan will definitely refuse and delay in every possible way, which will make the surrendered general return to Huaixi. It can be said that Dong Yuan is very courageous and strategic in going to Lishan alone.
.
Cao Ziang thought for a moment and said to Tang Fuguan: "The possibility of Dong Yuan jumping over the wall in a hurry is not high, but he must be prepared. He ordered Lishan and Luodian to be on guard in order to prepare for a surprise attack by troops from Lishan..."
Zhou Tong went to Fancheng and personally commanded the troops and horses on the front line in Fancheng, Zaoyang and Pinglinbu. There were more than 30,000 elite infantry battalions and the main force of the third brigade of Sun Zhuang's cavalry battalion there, mainly to guard against Chen Zhihu's attack from Nanyang.
Cao Ziang stayed in Suizhou. The soldiers and horses in Suizhou and the areas east of Suizhou including Luodian, Lishan, and Chaishan included more than 15,000 elite troops from Tang Fuguan's command and more than 4,000 supply troops, guarding several city fortresses at key points.
.
Yue Lengqiu knew that Dong Yuan had the possibility of jumping over the wall, but he really couldn't calculate that Dong Yuan had the chance of winning. In the final analysis, all strategies must be based on corresponding strength. Dong Yuan really wants to drive Zhong Rong to attack Suizhou, or simply
Yi Ban surrendered to Hu, but he was seeking a quick death.
At this time, Lin Fu had no intention of forcing Dong Yuan to rebel with no way to retreat, nor did he intend to cause Li Shan's surrender army to fall apart immediately - even if he used a trick to break up Li Shan's surrender army at this time, it would have both advantages and disadvantages, although he could further advance.
Weakening Dong Yuan's power, but cleaning up Nanyang, Xinyang, Jingxiang and other leftover areas after the war will only be harmful but not beneficial.
Lin Fu just hoped that he could drive Dong Yuan's troops to the north of the Huai River first, so as not to affect the subsequent battles to recover Xiangyang and Nanyang. After the war, the Huai River and the area south of the Qinling Mountains would also have a chance to recuperate, and give them a chance to recuperate.
Huaidong is completely under control.
By that time, even if Dong Yuan still had 100,000 direct troops in his hands, gathered Zhong Rong and other surrendered troops for his use, and secretly colluded with Yan Hu, what else could he do?
Everyone in Huaidong has a clear account of when to use risks and when to be safe. Yue Lengqiu sighed in his heart. It would be good to be able to take the initiative. However, no matter what, Huaidong's next step
