Chapter 459: Cheng Qun's plan
"General!" Jiang Guangyu excitedly walked into Cheng Qun's tent, "The main force of Liu Huajian's cavalry caught up with Aslan's rear cavalry in Qing'en, Huaizhou. After a fierce battle, Liu Huajian won a great victory.
Silan lost almost five thousand riders, and the remaining ones fled towards Gongzhou in embarrassment, General, we should speed up!"
Cheng Qun laughed. Liu Huajian, who had assembled the four cavalry guards, was well-equipped, while Aslan fled all the way, lacking food and tired. It would be strange if he could not win the battle. ( ·~ )
"It's almost time!" He looked at Jiang Guangyu, "It's time for Liu Huajian to come back after completing this blow."
"Come back?" Jiang Guangyu's eyes widened, "This is the best time to chase and annihilate the enemy. General, why didn't you fight again?"
"After Aslan's command suffered another heavy blow, it is no longer a worry that the number of capable soldiers under his command does not exceed 20,000. However, we can no longer advance. Old Chiang Kai-shek must have sent people to Beijing at this time.
If we move forward, we are not greedy enough, and we might get bitten by a snake. We should go back." Cheng Qun smiled.
"Go back?" Jiang Guangyu was surprised, "General, after nine years of service, the success fell short. General Yun Zhao's troops are coming from Luzhou. It was the two of us who joined forces to drive the Mongols out of the territory of Dai Viet in one fell swoop.
It’s a good time. If we go back at this time, wouldn’t it be a waste of previous efforts?”
Cheng Qun smiled and said: "How can we say that all our previous efforts have been wasted? The three parties of us joined forces and almost wiped out all the 200,000 elite Mongolian troops. At least for decades, they will no longer be able to pose a threat to us in Vietnam. This is our
Credit goes.”
"But compared to the illustrious military exploits of destroying Meng Yuan, this is nothing after all!" Jiang Guangyu murmured, "What a great opportunity!"
"But once and for all!" Cheng Qun sighed: "I wonder who the people sent to Beijing are? In short, we have to go back. Congliang and others will be temporarily intercepted in Tongzhou, but facing Congliang's elite army
"It's hard to stop Shangjing. If we don't go back, Shangjing will be unstoppable."
"When gods fight, it affects the fish in the pond!" Jiang Guangyu said dissatisfied: "Such a good opportunity has just slipped away in vain.[ ~]"
"Leave all this to Yun Zhao! Meng Yuan's strength is not as good as before. With Yun Zhao's current strength, it is completely possible to form a stalemate with them. Let's wait for the outcome of the internal struggle in Dai Viet, and then we can come with our troops!" Cheng
Group stalls and hand stalls.
"We tried our best and even made the emperor suspicious of us. General, I guess that now the emperor is thinking of killing us. But in the end, we got the advantage of Yun Zhao. It's really unfortunate.
I'm willing to do it!" Jiang Guangyu said angrily. "No wonder people say this little guy has great luck. I also think his luck is really unbelievable."
Cheng Qun laughed, "Old Jiang, I didn't expect you to be so excited? Do you think what Yun Zhao picked up was a piece of fat? Maybe it was a hot potato. Or maybe he lost his tiger tooth?"
The Meng Yuan army was hit hard by this, and they will inevitably form a rope to overcome this difficulty. The further north you go, the more suitable the terrain will be for Mongolian cavalry operations. Our advantages are being lost bit by bit, and more importantly, Lao Chiang Kai-shek
, our guard's reliance on logistics is actually much higher than that of the Mongolian cavalry. I believe you have seen this. And if we insist on heading north, where will the supplies behind us come from? Without supplies, how can we fight this battle?
Fight? So we must turn back. We have rushed forward so far, but we are actually doing it to show His Majesty who went to Beijing."
Jiang Guangyu was stunned.
"Old Chiang, we have embarked on a road of no return. After we boldly marched our troops north to cross the Cangjiang River, there was actually only one road left in front of us." Cheng Qun laughed.
"That way?"
"Support your troops with self-respect and become a local overlord!" Cheng Qun said a little disappointed.
Jiang Guangyu was silent for a moment, "Will this work?"
"Look, I don't know when this war will end. Maybe it won't end for a long time. Maybe we won't see it end in our lifetime. The Mongols were disabled by us, but their basic strength
Still, after Yun Zhao's battle, he will fill the vacuum after we withdrew, and his strength will inevitably increase greatly. In the north, the two major forces are confronting each other, and they are actually entrenched on one side.[ ~]The imperial court is trying to unite.
Luo Yunzhao will definitely give him arbitrary power in the north, do you understand what I mean?" Cheng Qun said.
"In this case, why do we need to cross the river? We stopped north of the Cangjiang River. We now occupy almost half of the sixteen northern states and can fully support the soldiers we have at hand." Jiang Guangyu said fiercely.
Cheng Qun smiled and said: "Yes, we can stay in the north, but do you know the consequences? The north is the territory that Yun Zhao wants to hold in his hands. If we don't leave, we will definitely become his enemies. Then
When the time comes, we have to face Meng Ren and Yun Zhao, do you think we can survive?"
Jiang Guangyu's expression changed, "Yun Zhaoru dares to deal with us, isn't he brazenly rebellious?"
Cheng Qun laughed, "How are we different from rebels now? Therefore, although the northern territory is large, it is not our paradise, but it does not mean that if we stay here, we will inevitably face two powerful enemies.
I don’t agree. Most of our soldiers are from the south and have been in the north for a long time. The soldiers are very homesick, which will definitely have a great impact on their morale, and they are very uncomfortable in terms of living habits and other aspects!"
"When we go back, we will control Jingzhou and the Jingzhou navy on the one hand. This way we can isolate the Mongolians and Yun Zhao to the north of the Cangjiang River, and then use all our strength to force Su Can Congliang to the south."
"Forcing them to the south? Not annihilating them?" Jiang Guangyu asked curiously.
"Annihilate them? Let's not talk about how sure it is. If Su Can is really killed, haven't you heard that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked?" Cheng Qun sneered. "The situation after Vietnam is that the heroes are divided.
That’s it, Fourth Master in the south, Yun Zhao and Meng Ren in the north, Bai Lian in the west, and then add us in the middle and Shang Jing who controls the center.”
"If the heroes separate themselves, it will be a mess!" Jiang Guangyu took a breath of air.
"Heroes emerge from troubled times, let's see who can join forces faster in this chaos and fight a bloody path." Cheng Qun sneered. "The emperor today is not right, so he should be punished. Now,
It seems that although he controls the center and has the highest power in name, his real strength is the worst. Therefore, he has to rely on us, and even has to win over Yun Zhao at all costs."
"But where is our territory?" Jiang Guangyu said with a sad face.
Cheng Qun pulled the map, stretched out a finger, and drew a big circle on the map. "This place."
"The central part is to the west?" Jiang Guangyu said.
"Yes, the central part is to the west. Among all the forces in Dai Viet in the future, although Shangjing is the weakest, he has a righteous name. Except for the fourth master, no one will attack him first. Apart from Shangjing, the weakest one is Bailian in the west.
Saint, we occupy this territory, then attack the west and devour the White Lotus Saint."
"At this time, the fourth master is busy fighting the uncle, and Yun Zhao is busy fighting the Mongols, so we can use most of our strength to attack the west. How can the White Lotus cult bandits be our opponents!" Cheng Qun laughed.
road.
"High, it's really high!" Jiang Guangyu laughed, "The general is indeed strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. Once we occupy the west, our power will be the most powerful."
"Lao Jiang, Liu Huajian should be back too. Please inform Kong Fanquan that the four of us will have a serious discussion. This is related to our future life and death. We must not be careless. Although the plan is good, there is still a long way to go.
Take one step at a time, and if you are not careful during this process, you will be doomed."
"Yes! The general's plan was so careful and thoughtful that neither Lao Liu nor Lao Kong had anything to say. Besides, since I had already decided to follow the general across the river, I just followed him wholeheartedly and there would be no second thoughts.
."
Cheng Qun smiled and nodded, "As long as the four of us work together, it will be easy. But I don't know who will come to Beijing this time?"
The person who came to the capital was Cao Yi, the chief minister of the dynasty. This was something Cheng Qun never expected. When he saw Cao Yi, who was covered in dust, riding a few skinny horses, and looked like a beggar, she appeared in front of him.
At this time, he was stunned for a moment.
"Cheng Qun, you've killed me!" Cao Yi jumped off his horse, without any trace of his demeanor as the chief minister of Vietnam and the number one minister in the world. He strode towards Cheng Qun and looked at him with eyes full of anger, unwillingness and anger.
"Cheng Qun has met Mr. Chief Assistant!" Cheng Qun was a little frightened for a moment. Cao Yi is not a person who can be deceived easily. His plan may be easy to deceive others, but in front of this person, he is afraid of revealing some flaws.
, he is already a keen observer of fire, and can see every detail clearly.
"I've met the Chief Assistant!" Behind Cheng Qun, a large group of senior generals bowed and saluted.
Cao Yi narrowed his eyes. From this small detail, he had fully felt that Cheng Qun had completely controlled this army. Jiang Guangyu, Liu Huajian, and Kong Fanquan were in charge of the Baotao Guard and the leading guard.
, Thousand Niu Guards, their status is only half a rank lower than Cheng Qun, but the three of them are willing to live behind Cheng Qun. Obviously, they have reached a consensus, and Cheng Qun is also confused.
"That's all. I rode alone for thousands of miles and passed through the rebel-controlled area all the way. However, I narrowly escaped death. I am not in the mood to be polite to everyone now. General Cheng, you'd better get me a basin of hot water first. Let me
"How about you take a nice bath, then prepare a large table of wine and food, and have a good meal with me?" Cao Yi said boldly and authentically, when dealing with these soldiers, it is best to put away the usual routine, otherwise it will be very difficult.
Those who eat turtles.
Sure enough, Cao Yi was so grand that all the generals cheered.
"Who doesn't know that although the Chief Assistant is the head of the ministers and the crown of the ministers, he is also an all-round martial artist. How can such a trivial thing be so difficult for you?" Cheng Qun said with a smile: "Come here, wait for the Chief Assistant to take a bath before getting ready."
Cao Yi threw the riding whip to Cao Zhixia behind him, and said to Cheng Qun as he walked forward: "Well, General Cheng, there may be an important guest coming in a while, so you might as well prepare an extra set of food and wine."
