Chapter 930
"On the way to the march, I was surprised to hear that the governor had led the Huainan Xiongjun to defeat the thief general Shikan, and crossed the river to the north to attack Yecheng, Dayi, Hebei. Many of our soldiers wept with joy. , not enough to cause trouble..."

When they arrived at Liyang and docked, Li Hong and other Xuzhou generals all stepped forward and bowed deeply in front of Shen Zhezi, their voices were high-pitched and passionate, and they praised the Huainan Army continuously and without money.

Shen Zhezi and all the generals in Huainan accepted all the compliments from the Xuzhou Army.However, Shen Zhezi's focus is not on this, but to look at the size of the Xuzhou Army's fleet with great interest. It is too expensive. There are nearly [-] warships, the smallest of which are medium-sized battleships, and the large-scale warships are even bigger. There are as many as seven or eight ships!

Previously, in front of the army of Yedi, the Huainan army was still able to rely on the strength of the boats to suppress the enemy on the water.But compared with the Xuzhou Army team, the Huainan Army is nothing.

The reason why there is such a difference is that after the first battle of the Huai River in the early years, most of the ordnance used in the Huai River area of ​​Jie State was inherited by the Xuzhou Army, the most important of which were boats, and there was no lack of sea ships.After all, when Jiangdong was suppressed and beaten in the early years, crossing the sea to plunder the coastal counties and counties of Jiangdong was also a very keen offensive method of the Jie Kingdom, and naturally there were many weapons in this regard.

Although a part of the Huainan army was also distributed afterwards, the Xijian people were old-hearted and unwilling to be completely subordinate to Huainan at that time, leaving behind a lot of good goods, as can be seen from the fleet that came to join forces this time.

This made Shen Zhezi quite upset, but when he thought that Xi Jian finally stopped covering up this time, it was a kind of confession, and his mood calmed down a little, and he felt more sincerely that youth is the greatest capital.So what if Xi Jian is old and stingy, if you have the ability, you can borrow another 500 years from the sky, dig and search, and finally save all these foundations and leave them for Shen Zhezi to receive!
Although Shen Zhezi's attitude was quite good, Li Hong and other generals were not in a relaxed mood. When they returned to Liyang City, they hurriedly explained to Shen Zhezi why they were late.

Although the dispatch of troops to the north went very smoothly this time, and there were few recalcitrant people in the land of Qingyan, there were still some twists and turns.Especially in Taishan County, some local tyrants relied on their geographical advantages and repeatedly surrendered and rebelled. In the end, the Xuzhou Army assembled superior forces to wipe out several of the relatively powerful rebellious tribes.But until now, it is not a matter of Xiding, Shen Mu still stays there to guard.

Shen Zhezi can understand this. Taishan County is one of the few, even the only place in the Huanghuaihai Plain, which occupies a good shape, and the rest is flat.

Xu Kan, the leader of the army who occupied this place in the early years, took advantage of this location and traveled between the Jiangdong court and Shile, and his rebellion was uncertain. He waited until Shile had unified Hebei and stabilized the situation, and then sent Shihu with an army of [-] to finally defeat it.

Although there is no such powerful army leader as Xu Kan in Mount Tai, there are also many Haowu Township clans. If someone secretly provokes them, it will be very troublesome for the Xuzhou army to solve them.

And if Taishan County cannot be stabilized, then Xu Yanqing will not be able to talk about complete stability. If the Xuzhou army comes south in a large scale, it will face the hidden danger of being intercepted.

The Xuzhou army itself is hard to change the habit of fighting on its own, and Xi Jian is too old to reach the front line to supervise the battle. In the absence of a unified dispatch, it is not bad to be able to temporarily solve the Taishan County problem in such a short period of time.

Seeing that Shen Zhezi did not intend to pursue Xuzhou Army's delay, Li Hong and the others were relieved.If they had the intention of competing with the Huainan army before, then they have completely dispelled this idea now.

These Xuzhou generals also know the plan of this military operation. They will join the Huainan Army to go north to fight against Yecheng Shikan.To be honest, they are not too enthusiastic about this, because Xi Gongye is nearly [-] years old. Once they go north, these generals will be ruled by Liang Gong and Shen Zhezi, and they will be auxiliary troops along the way. Even if they succeed in this way, it is inevitable There will be thickness.

For Mr. Liang, their senses are also extremely complicated. On the one hand, they can see that this man has a bright future, and they can also feel that Xi Gong is cooperating with him to take over Xuzhou affairs; on the other hand, he is too domineering. Xuzhou will inevitably break the original situation in Xuzhou. It is impossible for these military leaders to retain some independence as they did before.

So this time in Taishan County, there is also a sense of deliberate delay, in order to make Liang Gong restrain himself.But they didn't expect that even if they were not present, the Huainan army alone would kill Shikan cleanly and capture Yecheng, and the result would be much greater than what they expected before!

In this way, their previous thoughts and actions became a joke, and they felt embarrassment and fear in their hearts.The Huainan army alone has exploded with such amazing fighting power. What is it unacceptable to capture Yecheng in World War I and Xiangguo in World War II?So what will these Xuzhou generals do with themselves?

Moreover, the results of the Huainan Army are so brilliant, and the next matter for Liang Gong to succeed Xi Gong in Xuzhou is no longer a question of whether he can, but whether he wants to.You don't even need to guess whether you want to or not, Shen Mu's big head, thousands of Huainan soldiers are currently in Xuzhou!
So at the moment, they really don't have the qualifications to make a show, and they rushed to Li Yang one after another.Once they were seated, several Xuzhou generals expressed their opinions one after another: "Now that the Master Wang has won a great victory, it is time to take advantage of this general situation and then defeat the Hu thieves! The last general will fight hard after he was trapped in the land and failed to do his best. Go to another city for the governor, annihilate the bandits, and wipe out Jilong!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "Master Wang will naturally be more courageous in the future. You don't have to worry about having nowhere to hunt for merit, and you don't have to be in a hurry. Let's take a break for a while. As for whether to attack Xiangguo from the north, this matter still needs to be decided again." Discuss."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but because they were guilty, they didn't dare to ask more questions.Only Li Hong was Xi Jian's confidant, and after hearing the words, he frowned and said: "Master Wang's victory in Liyang this time is a great achievement that has never been achieved since Yongjia. This is a sign of the great prosperity of Jinzuo. The ruins have not been revived. At present, the two departments of Xu and Huai have joined forces and there are tens of thousands of people, why the governor..."

When he spoke up to this point, he saw that Shen Zhezi's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Although his expression didn't change much, he had an intimidating aura rushing towards his face, so that it was difficult to utter the following words, so he hurriedly lowered his head .

"Everyone, come from afar, let's lead the army into the camp for a while to rest. As for where the Japanese soldiers will point, we will have an order later."

After Shen Zhezi finished speaking, he stood up from the table. Although he didn't pursue Xuzhou Army's faults at the moment, it didn't mean that he had to give them all the support. Xi Jian was pretty much the same here.But even if Xi Jian is here, if he makes any decision, he will just give a notice, not a discussion.

In fact, from the very beginning, Shen Zhezi had no intention or expectation to wipe out the remaining forces of Jie Kingdom in Hebei within a single battle.Even if Yecheng has been taken now, even after the Xuzhou army arrives, the apparent military strength is completely superior to that of Shihu.

The Xuzhou army itself has not yet integrated into the Huainan army system. Such a combination seems to be powerful, but when faced with a truly brutal battle, Shen Zhezi really doubts whether it can achieve the effect of one plus one greater than two.

Xiangguo and Yecheng seem to be very close to each other, but every point they advance, the risk Huainan Army has to face increases.Once the battle continues to the north, it is absolutely impossible to expect that Shihu will be easily defeated like Shikan, and it will be a protracted battle.

In such a battlefield environment, field battles are the key to victory. At least for now, in terms of field battles, the Huainan Army cannot be said to have completely surpassed those Jie soldiers and Zahu Yicong.

The Huainan army pushed forward strongly into Hebei, which on the contrary caused many miscellaneous Hus to gather around Shihu during the Yan Dynasty, which Shen Zhezi didn't want to see.At least for now, those miscellaneous beards are not happy to see the Huainan Army take over Hebei with a strong force.

The art of war has its own way of relaxation, and now that the Wei land has been newly recovered, it is far from being a stable advance base for the Huainan Army.Rather than forcing the group to fight against each other, Shen Zhezi is more happy to see them dog-eat-dog, tossing each other to wear down their strength.

Even if you don't count the Tuoba clan who is still a junior at the moment, the Murong clan has gradually become popular, so they may not be happy to remain trapped in the Liao land.In particular, Shen Zhezi's attitude towards the Murong family was not really friendly, and he almost blatantly supported their brothers' division and internal strife.

And Shi Hu is also a character that does not allow others to lie on the couch and snore. It is said that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Shen Zhezi would like to see if there is no strong threat from the Huainan Army in the south, which of them will push the other to the ground Strong friction.

Of course, the main problem is that the Huainan army has reached a limit. Although Li Yang's battle seemed easy, it has also reached the next limit of the Huainan army.To digest the results of the battle and prepare to take over Xuzhou, Shen Zhezi has always believed in power that he does not control, and has never been truly powerful.

Especially in Jiangdong right now, the Shen family is far from being able to say anything, and there are still many constraints. When the war in Hebei has reached this stage, if it is not able to respond, it is too slow.

At this point in the Civil War, in fact, compared with the gains and losses of the city, the acquisition of population has become the key to victory.Especially when Jiangdong's foundation is already weak and both the north and the south have accumulated many disadvantages, Shen Zhezi really doesn't have to fight for a moment of courage.

Of course, with his scheming, the enemy really has no way of guessing.In particular, after the Huainan army marched northward, it assumed a threatening and aggressive posture. Although Xiangguo assumed a vigorous posture, Shi Hu was frightened by the powerful forces of the Huainan army and the Xuzhou army, and he did not take it for a while. Dare to lightly start the war.

Shen Zhezi continued to put on a gesture of increasing troops to Yecheng, but his main intention was no longer to compete with Shihu over Hebei, but to take advantage of the mutual fear and restraint of both sides, to collect as many people as possible from Hebei villages, and then The army retreated slowly, and finally retreated to the Fangtou area.

When Xiangguo was still suspicious of the Huainan Army's intentions, more than one million Hebei people had withdrawn from Yedi, moved west to south, and were resettled in Jijun west of Fangtou, Hanoi, including Henan.And when the Huainan army withdrew, the entire Yedi, regardless of the new city, the old city, or even Santai, was demolished and burned.

As for the main forces of the Huainan Army and Xuzhou Army, they continued to march westward along the Yellow River, targeting Heluo.

　During this period, it is not planned to continue to develop in Hebei, and the time is not enough.If the main force of the Huainan Army is held in Hebei for a long time, there will definitely be problems. Regardless of the management cost, the cost of using troops, including the game with the Jiangdong rear, the pressure will be great.
