Section 92 Back Kill
Yuan Wuwei also felt a little moved about Yuan Huaiqing's confidence.
Indeed, after the Caizhou army defeated Nanyang and blocked Daliang's full-strength attack, the current Caizhou army has risen to a higher level in terms of mentality and momentum.
Although the combat effectiveness has decreased a lot due to the fierce battle with Daliang, the strong military resources and good military replenishment system of the ten counties in Caizhou have been quickly supplemented by the Caizhou army after more than a year of replenishment.
The training over the past year, enrichment and adjustments have enabled the Caizhou Army to quickly complete the training and regain the strongest state before the war.
The Caizhou army is now full of confidence. They have the information to take over the Yingbo and Bo states in one fell swoop, but Huaibei is now without any resistance.
The tired and old influence army has been strong outside and at the same time, especially under the harassment tactics of more than a year, it has been exhausted, and its logistics system is on the verge of collapse and can no longer support the two-line combat.
Information obtained from detailed works from Xuzhou shows that the governor of the Invasion Army had actually tended to give up the Ying and Bo prefectures and strive to protect the three prefectures of Xu and Sihai, and even intended to hand over Bozhou to Daliang to create a Liang and Cai to continue the fight.
However, Huaibei seems to have overestimated the efficiency of Daliang.
It is true that Daliang is still the best in military strength in China. No one can resist Daliang alone, but the most fundamental problem with Daliang is within it.
Zhu Yun could no longer control the generals and soldiers under his command. It can even be said that Daliang had actually been kidnapped by these generals and great merchants who colluded with these generals and tycoons. This is an indisputable fact.
Whether it is the Chongzhengyuan, the Zhengshi Hall in Daliang, or Zhu Yun himself, they have to look at the faces of these powerful generals and the big merchants who have huge interests and influence in Daliang. Forcibly recapturing Nanchenzhou is the most typical example.
In Yuan Wuwei's opinion, Daliang's chance of choosing to seize Southern Chenzhou was not good, and he almost launched this battle alone, and even used the Daliang family's strength to face the four families of Dajin, Taining, Huaibei and Caizhou. Their gains were only the counties of Southern Chenzhou, and his efforts in this war were huge, far exceeding what he had gained.
Yuan Wuwei even knew that Daliang even wanted to use troops to Puzhou, which owned the salt pond, to seize the lifeline of Hedong in one fell swoop. Wasn’t it just the brainless actions of the salt merchants under the instigation and instigation of the salt merchants?
I don’t think that if Daliang really dares to move Puzhou, it would force Dajin to fight Daliang to the death with Daliang. At that time, I am afraid that from Guanzhong to Chang'an, from Taining to Huaibei, I will be eager to pounce on him and completely tear Daliang to pieces.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Daliang did not lose their minds, otherwise Caizhou would have been lucky enough to join the big meal of dividing Daliang.
Now even if Huaibei wants to hand over Bozhou to Daliang, Daliang has to accept it. With Daliang's current complex interests, it is probably not possible to distribute the interests of Bozhou well. Even if Chenzhou and Songzhou's Liang army are close, they may not easily advance to Bozhou, otherwise it will cause internal strife within Daliang.
Yuan Wuwei no longer worried about Daliang. This old country is like a sleepy giant beast. As long as it does not hurt it, it will be difficult for it to respond to external changes in time, even if its army is still strong.
But can an army that only knows how to defend the foundation still be called a strong army? How effective is the army not used to fight foreign wars?
Therefore, Yuan Wuwei felt that the Caizhou army should take the initiative now.
"Brother Qing, I have something to report to you." Yuan Wuwei took a deep breath.
"Oh?" Seeing Yuan Wuwei's serious look, Yuan Huaiqing also calmed down and said seriously: "Lao Qi, you say, I'll listen."
Just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from outside the courtyard. It was Yuan Wenliang's return from patrol. Yuan Wuwei hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
"Wenliang is back, it just so happens that your seventh brother is in trouble." Yuan Huaiqing nodded and signaled Yuan Wenliang to take his seat, "Isn't it a big deal?"
Yuan Wenliang glanced at Yuan Wuwei. He and Yuan Wuwei were not close. In fact, Yuan Wuwei's status in the family is not very high. For example, among the characters in the Eight Pillars of Ruyang, some people with foreign surnames are kind to him, and the relationship between Yuan's children is very weak.
"Nothing is wrong, some small situations have been dealt with, but Uncle Qing, how meaningful is it for us to stay here?"
Yuan Wenliang didn't quite agree with staying in Shenqiu, which was deserted. What was needed was the government officials behind to clean up the mess, recruit refugees, reopen land, and attract businessmen to rebuild the county town. He also had to open the Shilibao Wharf again, otherwise it would be difficult to restore Shenqiu's vitality.
"Well, Lao Qi, do you mean this too?" Yuan Huaiqing was also a scheming figure. Otherwise, Yuan Huaihe would not have let him lead the army. He had long seen what Yuan Wuwei was thinking.
"That's right, Qing Bo, we can't continue to do this. Part of the Heshuo Army, that is, Cheng German Army, is heading south quickly. I think we should give it a back-up attack!"
Yuan Wuwei was shocking and never stopped talking. One sentence made Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wenliang suddenly change their color.
"Oh? Lao Qi, why do you think so? Huaiyou has not yet broken up with us. If you take the initiative to start a war, it is very likely that he will cross Huai and raid Xinxi. Praise and trust will make us unable to conquer Yingzhou with all our might. Have you ever thought about this?" Yuan Huaiqing frowned.
"Bo Qing, I have considered that Huaiyou has always been the enemy of Caizhou. If Heshuo Army is allowed to move south, it will undoubtedly grow its aura. Once the Heshuo Army does not move south, it will stay in Yingzhou and join the Heshuo Army? It will really become a big problem for us!" Yuan Wuwei said decisively: "We cannot take such risks. Instead of doing this, it is better to take a single bet and catch the Heshuo Army off guard and completely solve the Heshuo Army's problems."
"But this is just a part of the Heshuo Army going south, and there is also a part of the Lu Long Army, which means that we have declared war on the Rebellion Army and the Huai You Army." Yuan Huaiqing did not directly deny Yuan Wuwei's proposal, but only raised his own concerns.
"The main energy of the Huai You Army is still in Wu. Even if we give Heshuo Army a blow, Jiang Feng would not be angry and aimed at us. He was not so impulsive! His military strength in Guangzhou was just a bluff. I guess the governor appointed by Chang'an would not allow him to cross Huai from Guangzhou to attack Xinxi. This is undoubtedly an excuse for Caizhou to take advantage of the situation to go south to take Guangzhou." Yuan Wuwei analyzed in an orderly manner: "Since we have made up our minds to take Yingzhou, we cannot be afraid. I suggest that the army on the southern front should also go directly to Rushui, attack Yingshang, and attack Ruyin!"
It has to be admitted that Yuan Wuwei's analysis is extremely accurate and he has a good grasp of Huaiyou's mentality.
"Lao Qi, how do you say you can give Cheng Dejun a blow from behind?" Yuan Huaiqing stroked his jaw and pondered slightly.
"Assemble the cavalry, cross the Ying River from the intersection of Chenzhou and Yingzhou, and then go east along the Ying River, and give it a blow!" Yuan Wuwei said confidently.
When the Heshuo Army came from afar, it should mainly be difficult to deal with the West. It is hard to imagine that it would intersperse from the direction of Chenzhou. It is reasonable to completely defeat or even annihilate this far-reaching army.
Before Yuan Huaiqing could speak, Yuan Wenliang had already continued: "Brother Qing, what Brother Qi said is reasonable. Heshuo Army would never expect that we would go south from Chenzhou. I am willing to lead the cavalry to take on this responsibility!"

The wind is sluggish, the car is sluggish.
Zhao Wenshan's Chengde army almost stepped into the boundary of Yingzhou against the Chaoyang.
It took only two days to cross Bozhou, and it took a day to rest in Luyi. Huaiyou prepared enough food, fodder and necessary armor and weapons for the Chengde army in Luyi, which made the Chengde army supplement to a certain extent, in case of attack by Caizhou army after entering Yingzhou, it could counterattack to the greatest extent.
This possibility is very small. The scouts from Huaiyou are already full of Yingzhou, and together with the scouts in Yingzhou, closely monitoring the Caizhou army that had already captured Shenqiu.
The Chengde Army was preparing to go down the east bank of the Ying River, and the First Army of the Huaiyou Navy had already gone up to Yingshang and was heading towards Ruyin, preparing to connect the Chengde Army at a certain river section above Ruyin or Ruyin.
Mei Kuang rushed back to the navy fleet overnight before even participating in the military agreement. For a small master of heaven, it was not a problem to catch up to one or two hundred miles overnight.
Even if he entered Yingzhou, he entered the war zone. After receiving a notice from the Huaiyou Navy, Zhao Wenshan also consciously slowed down the army.
The long journey of a thousand miles was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the Cheng-German army. There were many people who fell behind along the way, and the number of injuries accounted for about 10%, but the Cheng-German army still persisted.
On the one hand, the beautiful vision of going to Huaiyou attracted the long-destructible Chengde Army. On the other hand, the logistics supply arrangements along the road also allowed the Chengde Army to avoid excessive strain to the greatest extent. Many injured soldiers were treated in a timely manner and had better settlements everywhere. In addition, there was basically no need to worry about attacks along the way, so in this case, the Chengde Army could support it until now.
This German army was formed by the merger of the two armies, with about 4,000 people, but at present, there were only about 3,500 people left when they entered Yingzhou, and the remaining more than 400 people were basically left behind, so they could only follow slowly.
