Chapter 358

When Lao Sun received the order from the eighth king in Jingmen, he had arrested tens of thousands of young men. After reading the order, he almost didn't pat his thighs.

What he was most worried about was that his adoptive father would go to find the little beast to fight a decisive battle. Whoever wanted to be more and more afraid of what would become more and more.

"Young general, if you really act according to the king's plan, you may be able to annihilate the king of China to the east of Hanyang this time."

Several leaders were puzzled when they saw sun Wang's sad look, because in their view, the king's move was really clever. It was much easier to raid Xiangyang than to attack Jingmen.

"Hum, that little beast is as cunning as a fox and wants to encircle and annihilate him. Once he is forced to hurry and retreat to Suizhou, we will never have a chance to capture Xiangyang again. The key is that the original good situation is likely to be destroyed. It becomes that we want to fight Lu Xiangsheng in Wuchang, while the Chinese army can reap the benefits in Suizhou, Xiangyang, You can go south again at any time. "

Sun Wang snorted coldly, then sighed bitterly, "Hey! The adoptive father is confused. "

"Young general, what should I do now?" Everyone was confused, and they didn't know who was right.

"What else can I do? With our troops and horses, even if we capture Jingmen, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight Xiangyang again. Unfortunately, such a good opportunity was missed in vain. "

Sun expected to breathe thick air through his nostrils and bite his teeth.

Although he wanted to tear Qin Huan to pieces, he knew that only by taking Xiangyang could he force the Chinese army to Henan.

Similarly, only by occupying Xiangyang, can we firmly control the whole Huguang.

Although he was no longer willing, his adoptive father led the main army to Hanyang. He could only act according to his plan and cross the river to cut off the back road of the Chinese Army's retreat to the north, but he knew it was too late.

Not to mention that all the nearby ships have been raided, it will take a while to cross the Han River alone. Even if he is on the East Bank of the Han River and keeps killing to De'an house, he will be much slower than the Chinese army.

Sun expected to guess right. When he learned that the eight kings were coming to Hanyang, and a fleet suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River and rushed to the lower reaches, King Qin was really shocked. He wanted to run away, retreat to De'an house and give the battlefield to Chu army and Lu Xiangsheng.

But looking at the warships on the slipway on the shore, I really can't bear it.

"Shit, how did the eight kings' boat jump from the Yangtze River to the Han River? This is unscientific? "

Qin Huan looked at the map and scratched his ears and cheeks. Let alone that the Hanjiang estuary had been blocked by them. Even if it was not blocked, there were naval divisions of the government and army. With the courage of the eight kings, he didn't dare to come to Hankou.

Almost all the boats and boats from Jingmen to Hankou were raided by him. It was impossible for the other party to find 500 or 600 boats. If they could find dozens of boats, they would be up to the sky.

"Your Majesty, there are lakes and swamps everywhere in the east of Jingzhou mansion. Will there be a river directly connecting the Han River and the Yangtze River?" Qin tie tried to say.

"It's impossible. There's only one exit in Hanshui. Where will there be..."

Qin Huan waved his hand, but he stopped halfway. He found that he might have committed empiricism again. In previous lives, the Han River really had only such an outlet. If there were other tributaries connecting the Han River, he must have heard of it. But it was in the Ming Dynasty.

Honghu area in the east of Jingzhou is the yunmengze of Chu state during the Warring States period, accounting for a full half of Jianghan Plain. It is thousands of miles of Ze state every rainy season, and sometimes it is connected with Dongting Lake, so there is no Han water at all.

Although there were only a few small lakes left in the previous life, and Honghu Lake is quite large, there may be rivers now, which can communicate the Han River through the lake.

Qin Huan had to wave his hand: "it's no use to worry about these now. Although all the Chu troops are small boats, they occupy the upper reaches of the river."

"Your Majesty, although we still have more than 100 merchant ships and 300 small boats, our brothers can't fight a water war!"

Qin tie said helplessly, but another senior colonel clenched his teeth: "or just block the upstream waterway."

"It's useless. The other side is a small fishing boat of ten or twenty loads, or even smaller ships. It can't be blocked by sunken ships alone."

Qin Yu shook his head.

In fact, he was not worried that he would not be able to defeat more than 100000 troops of the eight kings. What really worried him was that Lu Xiangsheng would take advantage of it.

However, at the thought of the Xiao family in Wuchang City, Qin Huan narrowed his eyes and decided to do what he wanted. He cleaned up Lu Xiangsheng first, and then the eight kings. At most, the hundreds of semi-finished warships were not needed. As long as he could win Wuchang, it didn't matter if the Navy warships pressed back.

After making up his mind, Qin Huan immediately made a deployment and asked the 20000 sailors who had just been recruited to drive all the merchant ships and boats to the small lake north of Hankou, so as to block the lake completely and avoid bumping into each other on the water.

Qin Huan didn't raise the morale of others and destroy his prestige, but the 20000 sailors didn't have much combat effectiveness at all. Besides, he knew nothing about water warfare and didn't have a suitable general to command. He might as well hide instead of letting them die.

Then Qin Huan transferred the first town and three independent battalions to the shipyard on the shore, making a posture of guarding the shipyard. The second town was to stay at the camp, but dozens of cannons from the second town had to be pulled to the shipyard.

Finally, he asked Qin tie to pick two thousand elite soldiers to kill them overnight to Huangzhou Prefecture in the East, and then look for an opportunity to cross the river secretly. He believed that as long as he was careful, two thousand people could still be unaware.

After arranging all this, Qin Feng was called over.

"Qin Feng, you should cross the river immediately, contact the Xiao family, tell master Xiao and ask him to secretly contact the big families in the city and get ready for the incident. This time, I can guarantee that all the big families who contribute will hold an imperial examination and let their children become officials in the DPRK after Wuchang is laid down, but if you want to choose to protect yourself, wait until our Chinese Army crosses the river, They all copy their homes and destroy their families. "

Qin Huan said in a deep voice, there's no way. The current situation is quite unfavorable to him, so he must send out strange soldiers. If there are other Ming generals or civil servants in the south, he doesn't worry. He may fantasize that the other party will watch the fire from the shore and reap the benefits.

But Lu Xiangsheng will never watch him defeat the eighth king. At that time, he will have a ghost heart. Moreover, according to the guy's personality, he is likely to give a go, fight to lose and die, and hit him hard.

As the saying goes, porcelain doesn't touch tiles. In the past, he was tiles and the Ming army was porcelain, but now he thinks he is porcelain, and Lu Xiangsheng has become a mad dog.

This can be seen from Lu Xiangsheng's knowing that he has done nothing to stay in Huguang, but he still depends on Wuchang.

"Yes, I'll do it now!" Qin Feng was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect Qin Huan to agree, but he quickly hugged his fist and replied.

Qin Huan explained a few more words, and Qin Feng left in a hurry.
