Chapter six hundred and fiftieth IX(2/2)
No matter what, these places will maintain a neutral attitude of waiting and watching the situation.
At this time, as long as Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian return with their troops, most of the prefectures and counties in Shu will fall into the arms of Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian. Even if Wang Hongyi dies, the soldiers and people of Shu can support Wang Xiaoxian.
The only chance for Changxiang Hou Wang Yong is to cut off the return route of Zhao Mengji's army in time, or to wait for Zhao Mengji's army to suffer irreparable damage in Guanzhong. In this case, he will have enough time to send troops to occupy the capital of Shu and launch a mutiny to usurp the throne.
to control the situation in other areas of Shu.
Judging from the current situation, the conspiracy between Han Qian and the Marquis of Changxiang must be to use Wen Bo to lead his troops to raid Liangzhou to cut off Zhao Mengji's army's retreat route south to Shu.
The problem is that Liangzhou is an important town in northern Shu controlled by Wang Hongyi, the prince of Shu. There are more than 10,000 elite Shu troops left behind, and they are also the core generals of the prince's line of defense. No matter how strong Wen Bo is, how can he rely on it before Zhao Mengji leads his troops to fight back?
Capture Liangzhou City and the five nearby counties in a surprise attack?
"There are already five thousand elite guards and cavalry in Xuzhou and Tangyi. They are pretending to be escorting heavy supplies and civilians from Yuzhou and are approaching Liangzhou along the Lychee Road." Guo Rong said, "As long as General Wen leads the right Shenwu army along the Han
The water will advance westward and draw the main force of Liangzhou's defenders away from Liangzhou City, so capturing Liangzhou City will not be a problem."
Hearing what Guo Rong said, Li Changfeng couldn't help but think deeply.
Liangzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, and there are two cities adjacent to Junzhou. They are located on the north and south banks of the Han River. They are also the gateway to the east of Liangzhou. They suddenly sent troops westward along the Han River and were able to lure part of the defenders from Liangzhou City.
Of course, no matter how the main force of the defenders is fooled, Liangzhou City is its foundation, and the number of troops left behind will never be less than 3,000.
Others may not dare to say that relying on five thousand strange soldiers, they can storm a city with at least three thousand elite soldiers left behind. But if the five thousand strange soldiers are elite combat forces that Han Qian drew from the Tangyi Army, the probability of success is really high.
Not low.
After that, Wen Bo led his troops to bypass the interceptors and entered Liangzhou City. After joining with five thousand soldiers, they withstood the counterattack of Zhao Mengji's army. Wang Yong's usurpation of the throne really had a great chance of success...
Seeing that Lin Jinhou Li Changfeng was so proud of Guo Rong, Fei Wenbo objected loudly:
"Nonsense, I, Da Chu, and the Shu army have agreed to join forces to attack Guanzhong. Now I send troops to encourage the local princes to rebel and usurp the throne. What will the people of the world think of me, Da Chu?"
"The Queen Mother will never sit back and watch the Chu soldiers and horses betray their faith, nor will she sit by and watch anyone break the alliance between the Chu and Shu without permission!" Yao Xishui also said sternly at this time.
She didn't know what method Han Qian used to break the trust barrier between Tangyi and the Wen family, but Han Qian could be so confident in using Wen Bo's troops to raid Liangzhou, which already showed that Han Qian had great respect for the new You Shenwu
The penetration and control of the military are far beyond their imagination.
At this time, it was too late for them to do everything possible to weaken the Youshenwu Army. How could they watch them help the Marquis of Changxiang usurp the throne of Shu, and how could they watch Han Qian's power grow further?
In any case, they must not let Wen Bo have the opportunity to easily lead the Youshenwu Army to sneak attack Liangzhou, nor can they let him easily use the strategy of attacking from the east to the west, luring the main force of the defenders out of Liangzhou City, and infiltrating the Shu area.
Tangyi's ambush troops have a chance to attack Liangzhou City.
Fei Wenbo continued: "I still advise you to rein in the situation as soon as possible. At this time, General Chai has rushed to Fancheng to take charge, and the Marquis of Jiangyin is sitting at Jingzikou. Even if you threaten the life of Marquis Linjin at this time, it is impossible.
Shake the minds of General Chai and Marquis Jiangyin - if you dare to act rashly, tens of thousands of elites will swoop directly from the two wings, and you can just wait for the disaster to come!"
At this time, Yao Xishui was also staring at Wen Bo and Guo Rong with cold eyes. He couldn't help but sneered, thinking that if no one was holding him back, Han Qian's plan of attacking Liangzhou might be successful, but they don't even have Canglang City now.
After the attack, the army may only have enough food for three to five days. Chai Jiandu does not need to ask Jiangyin Marquis to mobilize troops from Jingzikou. He only needs to command the Youwu Guards to attack from both wings and cooperate with the Canglang City defenders inside and outside.
It will take three to five days to defeat the newly formed Youshenwu Army.
Is it possible that they still expect Chai Jian to cooperate with them?
Yao Xishui couldn't help but want to laugh at their whims.
Li Changfeng looked at Wen Bo, and Guo Rong looked calm. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and asked with a serious expression: "The Marquis of Qianyang has been planning for so long, and it is impossible to leave such a big flaw. Is Mr. Zhou, the governor of Jiangzhou, in Canglang?" ?”
Is Zhou Zan in Canglang?
Yao Xishui was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and Fei Wenbo accidentally knocked over the tea cup in front of him. In their haste and panic, they didn't expect that Han Qian still had this move to make.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Li," Zhou Tan, tall and thin, wearing a casual robe, walked out from behind the screen, cupped his hands and saluted, "My mother is seriously ill, and Zhou Tan is very worried. I couldn't wait to report to the court, so I secretly rushed back to Canglang. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li Hou here. I also asked Mr. Li not to make any noise, so as to avoid being reprimanded by the court..."
Zhou Tan's words were humble and polite, but Yao Xishui's heart felt cold at this moment, and he looked at Guo Rong, Zhou Tan, Wen Bo and others infatuatedly.
She never thought that Han Qian was really planning to leave no stone unturned, and he had already asked Zhou Fang to sneak back to Canglang from Jiangzhou in advance to plot something secret.
The so-called latent maternal illness is nothing more than words to deceive the world and the emperor.
Zhou Tan and Chen Jingzhou are both representatives of the Junzhou village. Junzhou is located in the newly established Jingyun County on the north bank of the Han River, west of Canglang City. The county government is an expansion of the Jingyun Village that Zhou Tan ruled in his early years.
At first, the villagers recruited by Han Qian to build the Canglang village were mainly from Jingyun Village and were all subordinates of Zhou Tan. The earliest batch of households in Canglang City also moved from Jingyun Village and other places.
Later, these civilians and a large number of other troops from the Qinling Mountains made great achievements while guarding Canglang and Xichuan.
After the war, these generals, headed by Zhou Tan and Chen Jingzhou, were regarded as copycats close to Han Qian in the Longque Army. Zhou Tan and Chen Jingzhou were ostracized and suppressed, and were transferred out of the army one after another. There were also quite a few The military attaches of the Shanzhai faction were also suppressed, so they withdrew from the camp and returned to the local area.
Although the Shanzhai forces that controlled the Dragon Bird Army were dismembered, it is undeniable that these military attaches quickly became the backbone of local forces after they returned to the countryside.
The presence of Zhou Zan here means that the Youshenwu Army is very likely to be able to capture the cities of Canglang and Jingyun without a single blow, and can also obtain a certain amount of food and fodder supplies from the villages in the mountains.
In this way, they had a city to defend on the banks of the Han River and the Danjiang River, and they did not have to worry about a shortage of food and fodder in the short term, nor were they afraid of Chai Jian leading his troops to attack from both sides.
Or perhaps it could be said that Zhou Fang had secretly met with the guards of Canglang and Jingyun cities and reached a conspiracy.
Canglang and Jingyun cities are located behind Deng Jun's defense line. They have always recruited 300 to 500 county soldiers locally to be responsible for city defense, security and theft arrests. Jingyun County borders the eastern boundary of Liangzhou, and its strategic position is still extremely important. It is outstanding, but since the two countries Chu and Shu reached a peace agreement, neither side has stationed elite imperial troops in the bordering counties.
Although the county magistrate, county magistrate, county captain, chief official and other major official positions in these two places are all directly appointed by the imperial court, considering the sentiment of caring for the Shanzhai generals, almost half of them are from Shanzhai generals, not to mention the following. Six-room subordinate staff.
After all, over the years, the Shanzhai faction has made great contributions to Emperor Yanyou's ascension to the throne. No matter how much they cross the river and demolish the bridge, there must be a limit.
In addition to the fact that most of the official positions were held by the subordinates of Zhou Pan and Chen Jingzhou, the soldiers in the two counties were mainly the elite veterans of the cottage soldiers.
You may not necessarily recognize Han Qian these years, but Zhou Tan and Chen Jingzhou are their old village masters, old bosses, and old family heads - Yao Xishui really can't imagine that Zhou Tan would appear under Canglang City at this time, and Wen Bo would lead him
The newly recruited Shenwu Army has 10,000 elite generals. Are they still capable of preventing Wen Bo from sending troops to lure the main force of the Liangzhou defenders away from Liangzhou City?
"After the Marquis of Changxiang promised to succeed, in addition to professing vassalage to Da Chu, respecting His Majesty as his brother, and paying an annual tribute of two hundred thousand yuan, he would also return the two states of Liang and Xia to Da Chu," Guo Rong said, "Cao
Yong and Wang Ang, the prince of the Marquis of Changxiang, are here to deliver their credentials..."
Obviously Guo Rong entered Wen Bo's tent with them. Li Changfeng didn't know when he first saw Cao Yong from Guo Que or Wen Bo. The so-called "credentials" brought by Wang Ang were probably from Han Dynasty.
