Yuan Huaihe stepped into the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion with such a complex mood. 3. The fastest

A day later, he left here with an excited and desperate mood.

Yuan Huaiqing's hesitation, Yuan Huaide's entanglement, and Yuan Wuwei's determination have been wandering in his heart. He has to admit that the new generation of Yuan's family has grown up.

Even if he stood in Yuan Wuwei's position, he would not dare to easily claim that he would take Bozhou in one fell swoop.

Huaiyou occupied Yingshang, which was only a hundred miles away from Ruyin City, and had a huge advantage of the navy. Ruyin City is now in ruins. Once Huaiyou launches an attack, can Ruyin City persist?

If they do not plan to Yingshang and Shangcai, they have to go far to attack Bozhou. Even if Bozhou has its own inside line, Shang Yunliu and Liang Xu are both stationed in Bozhou. If the other party does not rotate according to their own baton, then attacking Bozhou will become a dilemma, and it may even be jointly fought by Huaiyou and Huaibei.

But Yuan Wuwei's final statement deeply touched him.

Caizhou can no longer be like Caizhou in the past twenty years. In that era, Caizhou could keep a low profile and take a steady foothold. But now, with the rapid rise of Huaiyou beside him, the Khitans are moving south with great ambitions. The people of Shatuo in Hedong and the Dangxiang people in the northwest are sharpening their knives and preparing to do a big fight. Caizhou has no time to accumulate.

In Yuan Wuwei's view, the current Central Plains is Daliang, a giant creature with corpse remnant energy, supports the situation. Daliang is like an enlarged version of Huaibei. Once it is exposed at a certain time node for a specific reason, perhaps Daliang will fall to the ground like Huaibei, and even collapse faster than Huaibei.

Once Daliang falls, the Shatuo people, Khitans, Dangxiang people, and even Tuyuhun people will flock to bite the remains of Daliang when they see the opportunity. By then, the war will inevitably affect the surroundings. Whether it is Guanzhong, Nanyang, Caizhou, Heshuo, Pinglu and Taining, they may all become pond fish. If they cannot become strong quickly during this period, Caizhou will become the food on the plate by these Daliang people.

The idea proposed by Yuan Wuwei is also very clear. Yingzhou in the south is not important, and it is nothing to throw it to Huaiyou, but Yingzhou and Bozhou in the north are very important. Now Yingzhou in the north is in control. If Bozhou is captured in one fell swoop, then Caizhou in the north is Yingzhou in the north will be connected, and it will re-emerge against Chenzhou. Once that time node comes, Caizhou can take Chenzhou or even Songzhou and embark on the road to supremacy of the Central Plains.

Moreover, Bozhou has a vast territory and the eight counties are more populated than Yingzhou. After taking over Bozhou, Caizhou's strategic depth will be greatly strengthened, and it can truly achieve the cause of dominance.

What's more important is that Bozhou now seems to have a lot of troops, but it belongs to several systems, and is not affiliated with each other, and has many conflicts with each other. Taking advantage of the fact that Xuzhou has not yet integrated a stronger role, and Huaiyou is still busy stabilizing the defense of the Yingshang Shangcai (Fengtai) line. The Caizhou army can just use its superior forces to attack the other side off guard. When they all think that they must stop to stabilize the rule of Yingzhou, they can highlight the surprise troops in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

What really touched Yuan Huaihe was the last reason.

This is indeed a bit dangerous, but it is worth it.

At this time, Yuan Huaihe also fully demonstrated his decisiveness as the head of the family. He handed over 50,000 troops to Yuan Wuwei. From Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Huaide, all the generals were dispatched by Yuan Wuwei. He even gritted his teeth and expressed his grim efforts to transfer his own guard camp and the two armies stationed in Xincai and Baoxin counties to Yingzhou together, so that Yuan Wuwei could free up all his troops to fight this battle.

*********************************************************

"These idiots!" The horse rushed for a few steps. Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Heng almost burst out a few words from his teeth. The flesh on his face couldn't help but twitch, "It's been a few days and it's not over yet? Do you want me to wake them up one by one with a whip?"

It really made Qin Heng angry. He started crossing the river ten days ago, but until the day before yesterday, the entire Flame Army had only crossed 70%, and 30% of the troops were still north of the Huai River.

Baishuitang, the group of pigs, kept saying that there were enough ships and patted their chests and said that there was no problem. He was a little careless, but he did not expect that Yu Mingzhen led a sneak attack, caught him off guard, burned half of the ships in one fell swoop, and then made it difficult to cross the river.

Originally, the time for crossing the river was delayed, but unexpectedly, after crossing the Huai River, due to the uneven distribution of military capital, several parts of the supplies were insufficient, so they had to spread out to plunder to fill the gap.

This further aggravated the difficulty of gathering and gathering. Until now, three troops have not returned, which made Qin Heng so angry that his hair was about to stand up.

The plundered departments were also unevenly divided into stolen goods and quarreled endlessly. They were not concerned about gathering and waiting for each region. They are still lazy.

Qin Heng knew that his leisurely days in Huaibei had made these brothers a little lazy, so he should rectify the military discipline and alert these guys.

The man in armor on the side of Qin Heng had never spoken, but on the high ground behind him, the black and neat black armored cavalry were arranged into a standard diamond-shaped square array, overlooking this side from a distance.

"Ahe, you're laughing. These guys are lazy in Huaibei."

He whipped a few military commanders who came to report and ordered these guys to take the troops to the designated location to gather before dark tonight. Qin Heng then waited for the reins to come over and breathed out a breath of turbid air, saying a little embarrassedly.

"Uncle Second, this may not work."

The mask on the man's face was a somewhat gloomy and strange leopard print. The black lines traced some exaggerated patterns on the soft and tough dragon skin, like a leopard mouth that was about to bite.

He was wearing a black cloak with unknown material, covering his whole body. He could only see from the gap in the cloak, a lilac armor.

Armors of this color are rare, as if they were wrapped in some kind of kesi, and they were slightly golden.

The group of black horses under the crotch were obviously taller than the surrounding horses, with shields on both sides of the left and right only placed next to the belly of the horse behind the saddle.

The shield has always been slightly smaller but the shield surface is slightly thicker, similar to a double-layer composite, and there seems to be some gaps between the interlayers, so I can't see clearly what is hidden inside.

One is slightly larger, slightly oval, black and shiny, with some marks of swords on it, which is obviously a common thing.

A dark mace was hung on the weapon hook stand on the other side. The rod head was not big, but the blue wolf teeth cone was spent more than an inch, and it seemed that it was still lingering with a special atmosphere, which made people shudder at first sight.

After hearing what the man covered his face said, Qin Heng's face was suffocated. He rubbed his face and his voice lowered a few degrees, "Ahe, I know this is not possible. I also want to kill people to establish authority, but most of them are like this. You also know that before entering the Sihai states, they were not like this,..."

"Uncle Second, I didn't mean that. Now the punishment and disposal is meaningless. It's too late. We have been delaying here for too long. The scouts have reported it back. The navy from the two armies from Yangzhou has passed Anyi and will soon arrive in Chuzhou. We have no time." The man's voice was light and heavy, and it seemed that he couldn't hear clearly.

"Ahe, what do you mean..." Qin Heng was surprised. He knew that his brother's adopted son was extraordinary, but he still acted as a charge and assault. At this time, he suddenly proposed that he had other intentions.

"Second uncle, we can't wait. The Yangzhou navy is about to arrive in Shanyang. If we cannot take Huaiyin before the navy enters Huaiyin, we will face an embarrassing situation." Qin He's tone was a little light, "Huaiyin and Shanyang are mutually supportive. We must take Huaiyin to further isolate Shanyang and prepare for the next step of attacking Shanyang."

It was not until they crossed the Huai River that the ant thieves began to realize the completely different between Wu and Huaibei.

Taking Chuzhou as an example, along the three counties along the Huai River, Xuyi is the throat of the Bian Canal, which connects rivers and Huai River. The Bian Canal is connected to the Huai River here; further east, the Si River is poured into the Huai River from north to south, and Huaiyin is located at the place where the Si River enters the Huai River; further east is the capital of Chuzhou Prefecture, Shanyang, and the canal enters the Huai River from south to north, connecting Shanyang and Yangzhou.

It can be said that the three counties in the northern part of Chuzhou were all born in the Huai River, and most of them were at the intersection of rivers and canals and Huai Rivers. The two counties in the southern part were Anyi, and Yancheng was on the sea. Therefore, it can be seen from here that basically these counties all rose by the water. The developed water transportation made transportation convenient and commerce developed, and this also highlighted the importance of the navy.

Every city basically has a water gate, and when the flame army, which lacks the advantage of the navy, not only deals with the enemies in the city, they must also be careful of the enemies that launch sneak attacks from the water at any time when attacking these cities.

The Tongdu Dayi, where the prefectures are located, is located in Shanyang, not only has heavy troops to guard, but also rely on the advantages of water transportation. The navy can travel freely at any time. If the flame army wants to siege the city, if it is not done well, it will be attacked by the enemy from the perspective of logistics supply and sneak attack with the maneuvering advantage of the navy.
