Chapter 983

PS: sleeping trough! It's the fifth watch again!!

PS2: make up two shifts, but still two shifts short.

After discussing the matter of becoming king, everyone felt that it would be better to do it after entering Chang'an city. It would be urgent to hold such a ceremony before entering Chang'an city. Now Fang Xie doesn't need such a name urgently. It seems more reasonable to be king after arriving at Chang'an city.

After the rest of Yihe Town, the decisive battle with Gao Kaitai has actually been announced at the moment when the team moves north.

Gao Kaitai will never agree with Fang Xie's request. He has tasted all kinds of high tastes and seen all kinds of high scenery. How can he accept it when he suddenly comes down from high to be an ordinary person. What's more, he doesn't have any chips in his hand.

The bottom line Gao Kaitai accepts is to go back to the northwest.

However, Fang Xie didn't give it to him first.

At the beginning, the generals of the black flag army had discussed before entering the army. The best strategy was to force Gao Kaitai back to the northwest, reserve troops to attack Chang'an, and wait until a decisive battle with Gao Kaitai. But the war situation is changing rapidly, and the best before is not the best.

Fang Xie's plan before entering the army was to force Gao Kaitai's team to the northwest, because Fang Xie always had a hunch that the man named kuketaimongo would come and stir up the water while the Central Plains was in chaos. If Gao Kaitai is forced to the northwest, if mengge really invades in the future, Gao Kaitai will be the first roadblock for mengge.

But now the situation has changed.

Wang Yiqu is dead. Gao Wang's allied forces once looked unbreakable. Now they can't help a gust of wind. At this time, if we don't take the opportunity to take him down, once Gao Kaitai returns to the northwest, give him time to recover, and then hit him again, and the lost troops will be doubled.

Besides logistics, everyone knows what the northwest looks like now. When the troops entered the northwest, the problem of food and grass could not be solved at all. Don't forget that although Wang Yiqu is dead, the navy of Wang Yiqu is still there. It is not so easy to transport grain to the Northwest during the expedition to the northwest.

Fang Xie had already made two preparations. If Gao Kaitai was not easy to fight, he would force him to the northwest and save it for later settlement. If Gao Kaitai goes well, Chen Dingnan's team has reached the northwest and will be able to wrap Gao Kaitai up at that time.

"Qin River"

Fang Xie stood in front of the sand table and pointed to a river: "this is the first obstacle in front of us. Although the Qin River can't be compared with the Yangtze River, the river is more than a mile wide. There will be more rainy days in a while, so it's fast to cross the Qin River."

Dugu Wenxiu nodded and added: "What's more, the intersection of the Qin River and the Yangtze River is too far from here. If the Navy goes around and comes again, we won't be able to reach it for two months. Therefore, we don't have the assistance of the navy in this river crossing battle. The navy must follow the original plan. Duan zhengsuo's department should follow the Yishui River to the north and be ready to meet Chen Dingnan's team to cross the river at any time. Zheng Qiu's department should follow the Yong'an canal to the north, Daotai city and Daotai city Let's meet. "

Xiahou Baichuan frowned, looked at the sand table and said thoughtfully, "if I were Gao Kaitai, I would put heavy troops in the Qinhe river. This is the first natural graben into Jingji road. If we break through easily, it would be the Qianli plain. Gao Kaitai is not confident to win the field battle on the plain."

"Beware of..."

Yan Zeng is a newcomer to the black flag army. It's time to show himself, so he immediately said what he thought. He pointed to the upstream and said: "This is the lingmen pass. The water flow of the Qin river here is the narrowest. I know Gao Kaitai's temperament. He has no scruples in order to win. What worries him most is that he sends troops to block the river near the lingmen pass and suddenly digs when the army crosses the river..."

"Therefore, we must close the spirit door first."

When he finished, he answered and stood in his position.

Fang Xie nodded: "the terrain of lingmen pass is very dangerous. It's not easy to fight."

"My subordinates are willing to go"

Yan Zeng immediately hugged boxing.

Fang Xie said, "that's good. You should be more familiar with the terrain of lingmen pass than others. Take your troops. I'll ask Andrew to send some people from the artillery camp to visit the river after taking lingmen pass. Gao Kaitai's people must not block the river upstream. Therefore, it's difficult to take lingmen pass, and it's more difficult to guard lingmen pass."

"Li Tai"

Fang Xie shouted, and General Li Tai immediately stood up and hugged his fist: "please tell me."

"Ma CE, the leader of your headquarters, should be Yan Zeng. Gao Kaitai will work hard on the Qin River. Yan Zeng's troops are slightly insufficient. Leave the matter of guarding the lingmen pass to him. You can patrol the thirty or fifty mile waterway from the lingmen pass to the place where the army crosses the river."

"Here!"

Li Tai hugged his fist and stepped back.

"Xia Hou"

Fang Xie looked at Xiahou Baichuan and said, "you are a pioneer general in the Qinhe war. All the troops are looking at you behind. Don't let me down. The danger of this war is that without the help of the Navy, Andrew's artillery battalion can help you only a little. After all, the range of the artillery is not far from the other side."

"Lord, don't worry!"

Xiahou Baichuan patted his chest: "my subordinates will let Gao Kaitai see how the soldiers of the black flag army fight!"

……

……

There is a Jiangbei Road between the Qin River and the Yangtze River, parallel to the East, and there is no intersection. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the great Sui Dynasty, the Yong'an canal was built, which led from the Yangtze River to Daotai city in Gyeonggi. However, when the Yong'an canal was built, in order to ensure the shortest distance in the project, the route was quite remote.

Zheng Qiu's navy had to go north through the Yong'an canal, which was as far away from the fangxie brigade. If the Navy comes from Yong'an canal and enters the Qin River, it will take at least two months to follow the team above. There is a narrow and dangerous waterway in the upper reaches of the Qin River, and the navy ship may not be able to pass.

When the vanguard army of Xiahou Baichuan arrived at the South Bank of the Qin River, the Gao family army opposite had been in formation.

"Please check Chen Xiaoru's Xiaoqi school nearby."

Xiahou Baichuan turned back and told his soldiers, "Gao Kaitai's men and horses have built a stockade right in front of us so soon. Waiting, there must be scouts following us all the way. We have already determined the place where we cross the river. The people of Xiaoqi school are experts in tracking and tracking, which is better than the scouts in our army."

"Here"

His own soldiers promised, then turned and went out to work.

Xia Hou Baichuan raised his eyes and looked across, frowning deeper and deeper.

"Look at the flag. The man guarding the Qinhe River is surnamed Zheng."

He put his eyes down and thought about who were the generals surnamed Zheng in Gao Kaitai's army.

"It's Zheng Ziyu"

It was Chen Xiaoru who spoke.

Before the soldiers sent out had gone far, they met Chen Xiaoru.

"Don't worry about the enemy's scouting. I'll send someone to sweep it later."

Chen Xiaoru stopped next to Xiahou Baichuan: "recently, a helper came to me. He has the ability. His lightness skills are great and his skills are also great. The most important thing is that he came here to hold his strength and prepare for performance. He can finish the job soon and must do it very clean."

Xia Hou Baichuan had seen wine, sex and wealth before. As soon as the fat man appeared in his mind, he wanted to laugh.

"That guy looks like a schemer. Don't be robbed by others at last for your job in Xiaoqi school."

He smiled and said.

Chen Xiaoru stretched out and took a deep breath of the slightly fishy moist air by the river: "It's so easy to be robbed. I still have this confidence... Let's talk about your opponent. Zheng Ziyu is the most trusted Department of Gao Kaitai. He has been with Gao Kaitai for more than 15 years. Gao Kaitai accepted him when he was only an individual general. He has been taking him with him for so many years."

"This man doesn't show his true colors on weekdays. The battle in Northwest China was only known... Gao Kaitai sent him to block Luo Yao's way, and left avant-garde was beaten by him. Later, Gao Kaitai entered Gyeonggi Road, and Zheng Ziyu was the vanguard general. He didn't use Gao Kaitai to direct a battle all the way outside Chang'an city. His vanguard army was as powerful as breaking Bamboo hits outside Chang'an. "

"It's an opponent."

Xiahou Baichuan's eyes brightened: "it's fun to fight like this."

"Don't take it lightly"

Chen Xiaoru reminded: "See your position clearly before looking at the enemy. You just reminded me not to be robbed by the fat man of the job of Xiaoqi school. Why can't you see your situation? The new Yan Zeng, like the fat man, is holding back his strength to perform well. He took the initiative to go to lingmen pass. On the surface, he seems to be the first in the battle against you to cross the Qin River Kung Fu, in fact, he doesn't want to fight a beautiful battle for the Lord to see? Lingmen pass is not easy to fight. It's not easy to cross the Qin River. I don't believe that where lingmen pass is so important, Gao Kaitai will not send heavy troops to guard. "

"I know"

Xiahou Baichuan took a deep breath: "it's true that we old people who follow the LORD have the deepest feelings with the Lord. But each of these new guys has his own skills. Shit, if I don't fight the battle of Qinhe well, I will be compared."

"Just know it yourself."

Chen Xiaoru smiled: "I can't take sides in this position. I can give you any support. I can give you the same support as Yan Zeng. If I delay the Lord's business, I don't have enough to cut off a hundred heads."

"Ha ha"

Xia Hou laughed: "if I rely on others to win the man surnamed Yan, wouldn't I be ashamed?"

"But... You have good news."

Chen Xiaoru smiled mysteriously: "about your opponent Zheng Ziyu on the other side of the river, exchange a pot of old wine, or I won't tell you."

"You fucking said you wouldn't abuse power for personal gain?!"

……

……

North Bank of Qinhe River

Zheng Ziyu put down his eyes and looked rather dignified.

"The vanguard General of the black flag army is Xiahou Baichuan. I heard this name a long time ago. He is a difficult opponent. The Liyin City guarded by Yan Zeng was broken by him, and I know Yan Zeng's skills."

Zheng Ziyu sighed slightly: "the Lord gave me 60000 people to keep the Qin River. If we don't fight well, our situation will be difficult to deal with."

His general opened his mouth, as if to stop talking.

"What I hate most is that others talk haltingly."

Zheng Ziyu looked at him and said.

General Zhang Genbao looked around, then approached Zheng Ziyu and said in a low voice: "Senior general, my subordinates don't worry about the black flag army on the other side. After all, it's a matter of soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth. We've never been afraid of anyone in this kind of frontal confrontation. What my subordinates worry about... Why doesn't the Lord choose others to guard the Qin River, but it's the senior general you? Everyone knows that the black flag army must attack very fiercely in the first battle of attacking Gyeonggi province. It's not a good job."

"What do you mean?"

Zheng Ziyu frowned and asked.

"Senior general, have you heard that there are many letters from the black flag army? It is said that the generals of our army wrote them to Fang Xie..."

"I never wrote it!"

Zheng Ziyu's face changed.

"Subordinates know!"

Zhang Genbao stamped his foot anxiously: "the general will never do such a thing... But who can guarantee that the letters Fang Xie sent to the Lord are true?"
