And in Jiangling City a few days later,

"Wait, Zhu Laosan sent his old mother, wife and youngest son to Luyang Pass?"

When Zhou Huaian heard this abrupt answer, he was inevitably filled with mixed feelings. I really don’t know if he should praise this hero who was indeed a resolute and resolute hero, or because of the sense of crisis (desire for survival) that he could not avoid the villain’s heart.

"Master!"

The chief adviser Yang Shigu said seriously

"According to the purchasing and transportation trends sent back from the front, I think that the Doki Province will probably use troops in the short term!"

"Use troops? Who are you planning to?"

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but be stunned but came over and sighed. The military force thought that plundering and eating others was indeed the most convenient choice for most people in this era. In contrast, in the four battles of the Central Plains, it was not so easy to bury your head and gather people and farm.

As the saying goes, "The sky is like snow in August". Now it is the end of September, and most areas in the north are beginning to enter winter; in this case, if you use troops, you can only choose the nearby target and harvest it relatively short and fast.

On the map, there are only a few forces adjacent to Duji Road, the hinterland of Henan. For example, to the north is the Heyang Army Zhuge Shuang, two cities, five counties, Huai and Wei prefectures, and to the northeast are the four prefectures of Yun, Cao Xiang, under the rule of Tianping Army, and all are the alliances that usually fight against the military threats of the three towns in Hebei.

On the west side are Shanzhou and Guozhou of the Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong; then on the east side, after the Xuanwu Jiedushi was destroyed, the various rebels appointed by the Xin Dynasty of the Daqi, and the Turkish regiments were respectively defended by the states of Song and Ying, as the buffer zone with the Wuning Army Jiedushi (Xu Si Town), one of the three towns on Huai Shang;

On the south side, Yinzhou and Chenzhou, which are intertwined with the same rebels and local land groups, are the core territory of the Caizhou thief Qin Zongquan. Finally, in the southwest, Luyang Pass between Fangcheng Mountain and Funiu Mountain, is the territory of Ruzhou, Duji Province, which is basically divided with the Taiping Army.

It can be said that under the current surrounding of such multi-way forces, as long as there are any established changes in the territory of Luo, Ru, Bian, Xu, Zheng and other states under Zhu Laosan, it will inevitably be the result of a single move.

Therefore, with his basic position and interests, he will definitely not be fooled to fight against the Heyang Army or the Tianping Army, which has a substantial alliance; and Wang Chongrong, who occupies the dangers of mountains and rivers, has the victory in Hedong and the same camp, is not a target that can be provoked and solved in the short term.

The only ones that can remain as targets are relatively limited. The Wuning army, which crossed the buffer zone of friendly forces to attack Xu Si, was not the target that could be solved in the short term with the existing forces in Duji Province under the alliance between Huai Shang and the three towns in Hebei.

As for crossing the Yellow River from Zhengzhou and traveling to Weizhou to capture the territory of Wei Bo’s army on the north bank, it is even more intimate and far away. Even the Taiping Army has just sent my mother and wife and children over, so it is definitely not for the opportunity to say "I get a share of the pie" in the future.

Therefore, in the end, it was naturally presented on the map and sand table as the most suitable target. That was the infamous five generations of ogres who were notorious on another historical line, almost ruining the thief of Caizhou in the vast Central Plains and Huainan region - Qin Zongquan.

Moreover, as a three-subject slave-style force second only to Liu Hanhong in Huaixi and was capricious; he was actually the least popular existence between the imperial government army, vassal states and rebel army. Especially now, Liu Hanhong in Huaixi, which is a faint response, is suffering from plague and has no time to control his subordinates.

Although the Caizhou army now looks enormous and has plundered all the Ying, Su, Si, Hai and other states along the Huai River and almost unstoppable. However, once it is hit, it can be said that it is easy to be isolated and helpless, and even the three towns on Huai River, which are always hatred, will rise and fall into the situation.

Then Zhou Huaian made a decision:

"Let the fifth group of the staff and the sixth group of the military department come up with a corresponding analysis of the current situation of the military intelligence of Duki and Caizhou, as well as the possible surrounding situations and countermeasures... By the way, let the consultant office come up with a follow-up linkage assessment document to adjust the arms sales quota within the pass and additional aid."

"In addition, since everyone has sent it, there is no reason to refuse it. In the name of Zhu (Cun) Zhonglang, he will treat Zhu San's old mother, wife and children well... and try to meet any living requirements."

At this time, another urgent military message was sent over. Zhou Huaian took a look and said slightly surprised:

"It was actually a side army who specialized in harassement along the coast of Kong Liluo's river estuary along Huainan Road. After a defeat, he has retreated to the north shore of Gaoyou Lake and reorganized..."

Then Zhou Huaian looked carefully at the following text before continuing:

"But it was Liu Hanhong's troops in Huaixi who were openly merged with the Caizhou army in Shanyang City?"

"In this case, wouldn't Taiping Army have more reasons to attack Qin and Liu families?"

Yang Shigu also reacted and said:

"But isn't this the value of such a casual teacher?"

Zhou Huaian immediately told the military officers who were on duty:

"I sent my order to order Li Zan, deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Aftermath Operations Department, to find a way to raise another 5,000 pieces of grain and equipment, and transfer it to the north through the Zhou army in Caohe. I then sent a message to Kong Liluo, allowing him to expand the auxiliary troops of the five battalions on the spot, and no matter what means he used to fully attract and restrain the enemy in Shanyang, as the priority."

"So should we use the inspection water camp on the coast of Jiangdong to support and support?"

Yang Shigu asked again:

"I don't move for the time being, and I also want to rely on them to clear out the remnants of the islands along the coast and ensure smooth navigation between the north and the south!"

Zhou Huaian shook his head and said:

"However, with the pacification of the Jiangbei prefectures, the river roads along the river can no longer use so many armed patrol forces. They just happened to transfer two and three water camps from the Fifth Army to the north and enter Huai River, waiting for an opportunity to intercept and sink all boats coming from the upstream ferry. During this period, I can only expect him to hold on for a longer time."

Speaking of the vast territory of the Taiping Army, in addition to the Huainan strategy that is being carried out step by step, there are actually several places that are also using troops in pieces, but compared with the scale of Huainan, it can only be considered a small fight.

For example, the states of Qianzhong Road that had been under disguised before, and the local barbarian forces along the way leading to the ancient Tea-Horse Road of Zhuyi in the southwest also needed to steadily differentiate and disintegrate; they were slowly incorporated into the local order and economic circulation links dominated by the Taiping Army.

Then, the Yuzhou area upstream of Xiajiang Road was also using troops. However, it was not about fighting with the Xichuan Army's formation in the northwest, but about fighting against the local Tuman Mountains and Bian forces in Luzhou and Rongzhou. Therefore, they usually did not under the banner of the Taiping Army, but secretly promoted the tribal war against those Chishui, Qushui and Mianshui under the name of "Merks and Merchants".

The main purpose is to cooperate with economic blockade and attack methods to weaken and divide the local Tuman and Shanyi tribes that once tended to the court camp and even the Taiping Army head-on. At least to ensure that when the Taiping Army launches its troops westward in the future, these local Tumen who were seriously injured will not be a hindrance to drag down and restrain harassment.

In addition, after the Jiangdong Third Road was roughly pacified, a large number of defeated soldiers and bandits drove them away and flew into the mountains at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, and even the local mountains and barbarians merged together. It also took a long time to gradually blockade and attack water grinding to clean up more thoroughly.

Although these places are not frontal battlefields worth mentioning and are not suitable for large-scale and established military use, they also require real time cycles and patience, as well as even the organizational efficiency of manpower and material resources and the determination to implement policies, in order to achieve effective medium- and long-term planning.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian said to another man on duty:

"Send me to Anzhou (now Anlu City, Anhui Province) and ask Su Wuming and others what step they have already taken?"

"promise"

As the man who was taking the order out, Zhou Huaian looked at Lu Yan, who was responsible for writing and writing quickly, and suddenly asked:

"Dongbin, how have Gao Bohai been in the Gongde Forest recently?"

"Return to the Lord, according to the daily routine rewards, this Gao Gong has a good look and is very good at spirit. In addition to routine oral notes, he has begun to practice the so-called Taoism again, and asked if he could get some gold and stone medicines."

Lu Yan quickly stopped writing and thought for a moment and replied:

"It seems that this person is still very idle! Then start to arrange for him to go to visit various places (being exhibited), and then write his experience every day..."

Zhou Huaian seems to feel something:

This busyness is a bit overtime, and even the snacks for dinner and extra meals are spent in the office hall. When Zhou Huaian finally transferred to the back house, the lights were already shrouded in the night. However, tonight is the day of night talk every Xunlian. The girls at home, which are charming, gentle and elegant, cold and charming, elegant, elegant, elegant, elegant, or pure and sweet, have already gathered together and have their own fun.

"What is this?"

However, the small pendant soon discovered an antique scroll brought by Zhou Huaian, and asked curiously:

"This is the "Dance of Heaven and Demons" presented by a Tantric monk from Qinglong Temple in Chang'an. It is said to be based on the allusion that the demon kings outside the sky sent heavenly witches to the evil spirits who were wrong and chaotic. "

Zhou Huaian said lightly without blushing:

"Then, you're going to expect someone to wear nothing, just bring these bells, arm rings, and golden crowns?"

Then, Yao Niang, with a graceful figure, looked at the scroll that was unintentionally pulled apart, and suddenly said with a fluttering face:

"This is actually a high-level practice method that comes from the essence of ancient Buddhism. It is the famous naked body sect of the Indian Buddhism (Sexual Power School), which communicates with the right path to the heavenly beings...ah"
