Sweep the World

Chapter 256: : The second choice

Kaiyang, the capital of Langxie County, is located about 20 miles north of the intersection of the upper reaches of Surabaya and Yishui. When Liu Yan and his army came to Kaiyang, the city's offensive and defensive battle had begun. [No pop-up novel network]

Kaiyang City occupies a small area. It can be seen that it has undergone urgent repairs. Even if some gaps cannot be blocked by rammed earth, they will be blocked by debris such as stones and wood.

Huan Wen was interested in city offensive and defensive warfare, and he was more interested in how many ships the Han army should have.

Wanting to cross Yishui from Juxian to Kaiyang, the Han army used very quick means to seize control of several bridges, and there was no need to temporarily build bridges.

Yishui is a river connecting Zhushui, one of the three major water systems in Yanzhou. It runs from Yanzhou all the way through Dong'an County, becoming a straight line and passing through the entire Dongguan County and Surabaya.

Surabaya does not just refer to a river, it is a water system extending in all directions, and it is directly connected to the Jianghuai water network. And Surabaya should be said to be the largest water network in Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou with a wide distribution of tributaries. No one can ignore the existence of Surabaya if he wants to go south all the time.

Huan Wen paid attention to the ships traveling on the river when he passed through Yishui. However, it was not easy to see the ranks of the ships of the Han army when he was far away. It can only be roughly seen that it was not a ship-building system.

By the way, Lou Chuan has been an artifact in the South since the Western Han Dynasty. It has always been regarded as a representative of strength in the South. Any power (country) based in the Yangtze River region can ignore the existence of Lou Chuan. This is the case for Wu, and the current Eastern Jin Dynasty's small ~ dynasty ~ court. The Song, Liang, Chen, Qi and so on in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, anyway, as long as you want to establish a foothold in the south, it is impossible to ignore the Lou Chuan.

Once the number is large, what level can actually be put back. Huan Wen’s visual level is good. He saw more than 500 ships, most of which should be transport ships. The number of warships is definitely 50. Within, the appearance of those warships has really never been seen.

The number of Han troops in Kaiyang City has reached 80,000, so in other words, the previous 50,000 Han troops traveled by land, and the newly emerged Han troops of 30,000 traveled by water.

"Hu people rarely use waterways." Yuan Qiao said gloomily: "Since Liu Shijun can transport 30,000 yuan by waterway, he can transport more."

No one will forget one thing, the "playing in water" of the Han Dynasty is something that has happened from the beginning, and it is the sea. Since the Hanbu can cross the navy, many people will take it for granted that the inland water can also be played smoothly. They don't know that there are basically two systems between sea and inland watercraft.

Yuan Qiao said that it was not for anything else. Liu Yan had already shown enough hostility to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is not good news for the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the inland river system Han army can also play.

The real situation is that the reason why the young dynasty court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to enjoy themselves in the south was because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, it was because the Huren could not play water wars.

This time the small ~ imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be so nervous about Shijie Zhao Guo going south, not because she was afraid of the so-called army of millions, but Shihu had collected tens of thousands of craftsmen who were building ships!

Still the same sentence, once something is of sufficient quantity and quality, it can really be inferior. If Shijie Zhao Jun throws thousands of warships, how long will the Eastern Jin navy be able to sustain it at that time?

A scream of "Wan Sheng" was suddenly roared, making Huan Wen, who had previously been absent-minded, clever. He turned his head and saw that the Han army in red and black uniforms had poured into the collapsed gap like a tide.

It's a crash, that's the rhythm of a rock dumper approaching the stage. The stone dumper was transported by a water transport vessel, and it was put into use as soon as the day arrived. Obviously, the credit was made.

"How many defenders are there in Kaiyang City?"

"Counting the Zhao Jun who retreated from Yangdu and the Huren who gathered in from the surrounding area, the conservative number should be 50,000?"

The Han army kept pouring in from the gap, and the shouting to kill soon erupted in the city. As time passed, the shouting to kill did not stop. Instead, a cloud of black smoke rose from the city to the sky.

If Huaxia Civilization’s city offensive and defensive battles would basically end once the enemy forces flooded into the city, it would be a manifestation of morale collapse. Kaiyang City did not end the battle because of the influx of Han troops, but I don't know whether the Hu people thought that they were defeated without the enemy army, or the Hu people had long been determined to fight street fighting?

One gap is followed by the second. Finally, even the gates of the city were opened by the soldiers who entered the city. The more channels that can enter the city, the number and speed of the influx of Han troops will increase sharply.

"I've confirmed it. Nothing like dry wood, fire oil, etc. was found inside." Sang Yu looked a little sweaty, but it was either frightened or nervous, it was pure heat: "It seems that the Huren is going to be with us. Fighting stalemate?"

Liu Yan was still checking the system map in his mind before. As long as he confirmed how many defenders were in the city, he would then mobilize troops to attack the city from three other directions. After all, attacking from multiple directions is always better than a single direction.

"Wang Luan's will is stronger than Deng Heng's." Liu Yan asked, "Is it sure that Wang Luan is the general who surrendered to Shijie from Liang Country?"

Cui Xuanzheng sat in a corner of the military account. This was the second time he was defeated and captured. He was serving for the third force. Seeing Liu Yan's eyes swept over, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Go back to the Lord, Wang Luan is indeed Liang National surrender."

It seems that Cui Xuan knows a lot, even two people in Liang State named Wang Luan know that one is of course Wang Luan who currently leads the Xuzhou Army, and the other is a famous folk fortune teller. (The latter Wang Luan was killed by Zhang Zuo for deceiving the crowd by pretending to be a ghost.)

Liu Yan simply asked. Since Cui Xuan knows so much, I also asked more. For example, what did Wang Luan do in front of Zhang Clan, how many wars he participated in, and what official position he has always been? .

What’s strange is that Cui Xuan could answer, and finally said with a wry smile: “The villain himself is a survivor, but he doesn’t have the ability to lead soldiers. Shi Jie doesn’t respect the scribes and can only learn more about things. It’s so good."

Liu Yan allowed Cui Xuan to surrender and included Cui Xuan after some investigation. After Cui Xuan surrendered to Shijie, he didn't do anything utterly conscience, at least Liu Yan didn't find out for the time being. Cui Xuan may seem very humble on Shijie Zhao's side. It seems that the means of making friends are also good. It can be said that there are many contacts, so Liu Yan can use such people.

According to Cui Xuan's account, Wang Luan is clearly a man of tough character, and his ability to command troops is not bad. In this way, Liu Yan understood a few things.

"The defenders of Kaiyang City must have received some order in advance. They will try their best to hold us." Liu Yan didn't see any nervousness, and said, "If there is nothing wrong, Wang Luan must be leading the army on the way here?"

As soon as Sang Yu was about to say something, someone spoke first.

"Shijun Liu, Wen has a question." Huan Wen first attracted Liu Yan's attention, but seeing everyone in the tent looked over, he hesitated to say what he wanted to say.

"Yuanzi wants to ask, if my army is going south, if there is Shijie's army from Jizhou or Yanzhou to attack Qingzhou, what should we do?" Liu Yan saw Huan Wen's face and knew that he had guessed it. He couldn't help but "haha" He laughed a few times and waved his hands: "Since I led my army to the south, I must be prepared."

"Liu Shijun has nearly 80,000 troops on the Kaiyang battlefield. How many defenders are there?" Huan Wen looked disbelief, and then sighed: "If Liu Shijun allows, please allow the official to send someone back. At least let General Chaqi threaten Zhao Jun's rear wing from the south?"

If in accordance with normal circumstances, that is, the conventional military perspective, Huan Wen's this is indeed a good suggestion.

"Yuanzi, frankly speaking, I don't believe that the Jin army has the ability to go north, just like Wang Luan dazzlingly led his army to the battlefield of Langxie, ignoring the Jin army in the direction of Guangling." Liu Yan saw that Huanwen wanted to refute, no Give the opportunity to speak, and say: "Your internal friction is too serious, and it is even suspected that you are a product of internal friction when you come over."

Huan Wen was stunned: "What do you say?"

"Ten years ago, a man named Gong Tao opened a college in Donglai. He operated in Qingzhou and recruited children. It is considered to have a wide network of contacts." Liu Yan slowly explained some things about Mr. Gong Tao. , I talked about Miyazawa later. After finishing talking about the fact that many families wanted to disrupt the battle between Liu Yan and Shi Jie Zhao Jun in Qingzhou some time ago, they finally said: "Please allow me to use the sentence'Success is not enough to fail.' In terms of words to describe those family lords nesting in the south of the Yangtze River, I am not just referring to some people. Frankly speaking, one of them is rubbish, and you are also one of those rubbish."

In fact, Huan Wen doesn't understand the meaning of "trash"~www.wuxiamtl.com~ But from Liu Yan's tone and manner of speaking, we can also know that it is not a good word. He knew a little bit about the Eastern Jin Dynasty that there were chess pieces on Qingzhou, but he really didn’t know that those chess pieces would appear in such a posture... No, those chess pieces probably have no chance of making a fuss, even if there are fish caught in the net. What turmoil will come out again.

"I haven't told Yuanzi the second choice. I have already said this, so tell Yuanzi." Liu Yan smiled on his face, but no matter how he looked at the smile, he was a little cold: "Since you are Abandoned will be sent over, so there must be someone who doesn’t want you to do something. At a lower level, the Huan’s and Yu’s are too close, and some people hope that the two will break and even attack each other. Or, you have been Whose interests are harmed by wanting to fight against Cheng Han?"

Huan Wen's face was green, and asked, "Can the envoy tell me the second choice?"

"The first choice is for Yuanzi to take the initiative to work for me and immediately devote himself to the great cause of restoring the Central Plains, but it is not allegiance to Sima's waste royal family that will extinguish the incense of the Yanhuang Temple, but allegiance to me." Liu Yan didn't care about it. The Sima imperial family extinguished the incense in the Yanhuang Temple and his face changed greatly, and continued to say: "The second option is..."
