Chapter 337: All the heroes (14)

Yang Lehe has a strong figure and a black face. He is the appearance of a standard navy general. However, he has always been known for his resourcefulness among the Yangtze River Navy. At this time, the generals habitually followed Yang Lehe's thoughts and thought in their hearts about how to attract the Wuping Navy to the Sanjiangkou.

Yang Lehe held his arms and thought for a while, and had some idea in his mind. He turned his head and looked at Chen Huaijing, and suddenly asked, "Chen Jun, what is the explanation for the navy going south this time?"

In the hearts of the generals, Chen Huaijing was named the Yangtze River Navy Army. In fact, it was the supervisor of the Yangtze River Navy sent by Hou Dayong. Chen Huaijing was humble and the generals did not hate him. They just thought of the forces he represented, and felt a little awesome and became more wary. After Yang Lehe suddenly asked, the generals pointed their eyes at Chen Huaijing.

Chen Huai Jing's heart was as bright as a mirror, and he said calmly: "When he left Daliang, the Prime Minister Hou did explain the following words."

Yang Lehe narrowed his eyes unconsciously and said to himself: "Chen Huaijing is very calm. He has been riding on the same boat these days and chatting and laughing happily, but he can still keep his mouth shut, damn it."

Chen Huaijing raised his head slightly, unconsciously imitating Hou Dayong's tone and voice, "Hou Xiang's explanation: When the two armies are fighting, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and Daliang and Wuping are thousands of miles apart. If everything is decided by the court, it will definitely be missed. Therefore, in Wuping, Hou Xiang only decides whether to fight or not. As for how to fight, the commander of the Southern Conquest Army will be fully responsible."

He also said: "I went to the Yangtze River Navy to serve as the military officer. I am the real member of the Yangtze River Navy. Please do not look at me differently."

After hearing this, Yang Le and his dark face couldn't help but let go, a faint smile appeared on their faces, and they thought to themselves: "Hou Dayong has been a governor and fought wars. He is indeed different from ordinary scholars." He said: "Hou Xiang is open-minded, and he is really a prime minister who can hold a boat in his stomach. It's amazing, I'll admire him."

This sentence is also from the heart. When the Great Zhou army went to Huainan for the second time, Prime Minister Li Gu intervened in the command of the navy many times, causing the navy to suffer a great defeat. As the saying goes, he was bitten by a snake for a year and was afraid of a well rope for ten years. From then on, Yang Lehe received a secret letter from the court or powerful ministers when he was fighting. Now Hou Dayong stated that he would not interfere with the specific command, which made Yang Lehe breathe a sigh of relief.

A thundering cold light flashed in Yang Lehe's eyes and said to the generals of the navy: "Since Hou Xiang respects the Yangtze River Navy, everyone should cheer up. The face is given by his parents, and the face is earned by himself. To destroy the Wuping Navy, I invite you to visit the Cuihonglou in Daming Mansion, each with a red apprentice."

All the generals widened their eyes. A general with scars on his face said, "Cuihonglou is not cheap."

Yang Lehe laughed and said, "The imperial court rewarded him a lot. He will come back after he has dispersed all his money. Should he stay at home to make seeds?"

All the generals were laughing when Yang Lehe said something. Chen Huaijing was also infected by it and laughed. Yang Lehe joked: "Chen Chanjun is weak, and when he arrives at Cuihonglou, he may be carried out."

At this moment, a messenger came to Yang Lehe and said, "A secret message came from the southern expedition camp."

After reading the secret letter, Yang Lehe smiled again on his face, and he said, "The infantry and cavalry army has made rapid progress. It is approaching Lizhou and is looking for an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Wuping infantry and cavalry - Zhang Congfu Army."

Looking at the excitement on the faces of the generals, Yang Lehe's smile suddenly disappeared and said, "Guo Shuai of the Southern Expedition Army Camp ordered that all the Wuping Navy be wiped out, as long as the result is, no matter the process."

He held a secret letter in his hand and raised it in the air, saying, "Prime Minister Hou and Shuai Guo have high hopes for our Yangtze River Navy. We cannot completely wipe out the Wuping Navy. We are sorry for the love between the two adults."

Trust is a kind of support, and trust is also a kind of responsibility. While Yang Lehe obtained the rights, he also felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

In Yueyang City, flags flutter.

Yang Shiling, commander of the Wuping Naval Army, stood on the tall city wall, staring at the surface of the Yangtze River, and a snake boat went down the water and soon landed on the Wuping Water Village.

The visitor was dressed as a Confucian scholar, wearing soapy clothes, a purple Taoist robe, a leader was wearing a red silk ribbon, a Tang scarf on his head, and a pair of black shoes on his feet.

When the visitor reported his identity, Yang Shiling deliberately said disdainfully: "Since ancient times, there is no use for scholars. What did Yang Lehe send you to do? Is it a joke to make my 100,000 heroes surrender with his words?

The person who came was Chen Huaijing. He said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Our army was in response to your request and then sent a large army to help, but why did you go back on your word and resist the royal army? What is the reason?"

Yang Shiling sneered and said, "The Zhang Wenbiao Rebellion had been quelled a month ago. Why do you still send heavy troops south?"

"The Great Zhou army is strong and powerful. Over the past few years, we have defeated the Khitan and the Hu, and have maintained peace in the Central Plains. Now Nanping returns to the Great Zhou Dynasty again. Wuping is only fourteen states. How can we block the attack of the Great Zhou army? I hope General Yang will understand the current affairs and not stop the chariot by his own arms, and cause self-destruction and cause trouble to the people."

Chen Huaijing was originally a polite and humble gentleman image. At this time, his words were with a blade, which changed Yang Shiling's face. Several of his generals pulled out their waists.

Chen Huaijing looked at the generals of Wuping draw the sword, and his heart suddenly tightened, but his face was still as usual, and he talked happily: "Now the southern expedition army of Great Zhou advanced side by land and land, and surrounded Lizhou by land. Once Lizhou is lost, Langzhou will have no danger. Even if General Yang can withstand the attack of the Great Zhou naval territory and lose Langzhou, Yuezhou will become an isolated city. Failure is destined. If you do not surrender now, there will be no way out."

Yang Shiling is the younger brother of Wuping General Yang Shipan. This time, Yang Shipan put forward great efforts to quell the Zhang Wenbiao Rebellion, but his troops suffered heavy casualties and lost all their combat effectiveness. Another general, Zhang Congfu, took the opportunity to replace Yang Shipan's position and became the number one general of Wuping Army, which made the navy commander Yang Shiling feel extremely dissatisfied.

The latest battle report Yang Shiling received was that after Zhang Congfu's army confronted Lizhou in the southern expedition army in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this was similar to what Shen Huaijing said.

Both the Zhang family and the Yang family are Wuping's generals. From a emotional point of view, he does not want Zhang Congfu's army to win a great victory. If this is the case, the Yang family's status will inevitably be replaced by the Zhang family. From a rational point of view, Lizhou is a barrier to Langzhou. If the Lizhou battle fails, Langzhou will inevitably fall into the siege of the Zhou army. Once Langzhou loses, Wuping will be over. From this perspective, he hopes that Zhang Congfu can win a beautiful victory.

Yang Shiling was not angry about Chen Huaijing's aggressive speech. His mind was full of Langzhou, Yuezhou, Yang family, and Zhang family affairs. The deputy general behind him shouted: "Shut up, you can talk nonsense again, be careful of your dog's head."

Before the Great Zhou was about to take action against Nanping and Wuping, Qian Xiangnan's military intelligence camp had penetrated into the Jinghu area for many years and had found out the internal complex situation clearly. When Chen Huaijing went south, Hou Dayong specifically talked to him and explained some precautions. After the talk, Feng Sha, the army, handed over this situation to him. Therefore, when Yang Le and his friends discussed sending envoys to stimulate Yang Shiling, Chen Huaijing took the initiative to undertake this task.

At this time, all the words were said were finished. When Chen Huaijing heard the reprimand of the deputy general, he kept silent.

Standing on the city wall, you can see the rolling Yangtze River rolling down. A southeast wind blows through, blowing the flags of the water village in front of you straighten. Yang Shiling's eyes looked into the distance, as if he touched the Zhou army warships in the middle of the water village in Wangcheng water village in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Yang Shiling withdrew his gaze, stared at Chen Huaijing, and said, "You must know that disaster comes from your mouth, so you are not afraid of losing your head."

Chen Huaijing smiled faintly and said, "I heard that General Yang has long been a good choice for both literary and military strategies. Such people will naturally not care about the advantages of verbalism."

Yang Shiling didn't want to say anything again, and said, "You go back and tell Yang Lehe that if you want to fight, don't do this trick of persuading surrender, don't be too verbose."

Chen Huaijing did not speak, but bowed, got off the wall, then got on the snake boat waiting on the shore, heading upstream, sailing against the current, without going back, but at this time it was when the southeast wind was prevalent. With the help of the wind, the boatmen struggled to move upwards, and the snake boat was not too slow.

Yang Shiling said to the deputy general behind him: "Wangcheng Water Village is located in the upper reaches and has a good location. Although our army is located in the lower reaches, it is now when the southeast wind is strong. It has occupied the heaven, the world, and the place are in conflict. I am afraid that this battle will be a bad battle."

He said again: "Come General Zhang Jingding."

After a while, a messenger ran up and said, "General Zhang has taken several warships to fight against the Great Zhou navy."

The Wuping Water Villagers had already opened, and Zhang Jingding was leading seven or eight warships out of the water village gate. In the distance upstream, some shadows of warships were faintly seen.

Yang Shiling cursed: "Zhang Jingding attacked without receiving the order, violated the military order, and after he came back, he was removed from his position as a vanguard officer, so as not to harm the army in the future."

The deputy general said: "Zhang Jingding is a good player in war and has a strong ability to adapt to the situation. He broke a boat the day before yesterday and was obsessed with it when he came back. Today, he must have taken revenge. He is Zhang Congfu's son. It depends on the owner of the dog. Please think twice about General Yang."

Yang Shiling showed a decisive look on his face and said, "The war is coming, and he doesn't care about so much. If he defeated the Great Zhou navy, naturally no one would say anything."

The fleet led by Zhang Jingding was still a small fleet that had an encounter with the Zhou army that day. He stood on the Yuhuang horn. The southeast wind blew loudly, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He pointed to the Zhou army warship in the distance and said to the vanguard adjutant beside him: "The Yangtze River Navy used to be mainly active in the Huaihe River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so there was such a small Xuanjiao ship. This ship was not as fast as the Bombing Boat, and its combat effectiveness was not as good as the Yuhuang, so it really didn't work."

The two armies soon met head-on on the river.
