Chapter 2567 Guizi Scroll Playing Big Chess, Wishing to Swallow

"Basically, it's all round." Feng Ziying knew that the You brothers had left Yulin for several years, and their main focus was on Ji Town. They had some contact with Yulin Town, but they didn't care much about the border village in northern Shaanxi. up.

  You Shiwei took a breath.

  He knows the frontier village in northern Shaanxi. It has existed for decades, and its composition is complicated.

   Either escaped soldiers who could not bear the oppression of the officers, or tenant farmers who resisted the tyrannical hunters, or some inland criminals couldn't stay and hide in it, and then gradually lived in groups and thrived.

   It can be said that these people have some background and force. In terms of individual quality, they don’t need to be much worse than frontier troops, but in terms of discipline development, they are far worse.

   When the battle really started, the frontier army crushed these fortresses, so the frontier army turned a blind eye and let them exist.

  But this does not mean that these people are of poor quality and cannot fight.

  As long as you can subdue this group of people and train them well, you can definitely become a strong army.

"My lord, the Big Rabbit Falcon Village, the Poluo Temple Village, Boyan Village and Baitang Village are all the top ten border villages in northern Shaanxi, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. When you go to Shaanxi, you will Have you collected them all?" You Shiwei was surprised, delighted and horrified, "This group of people are hard to convince."

"Hmph, what's so hard to convince? There's a severe drought in northern Shaanxi. No matter how hard they fight, they can still harvest food from the fields? No matter how hard they fight, they can still go grab the food from the Yulin army? They've eaten Guanyin soil for thousands of miles. Starved to death, let me see how much more they can fight?"

Feng Ziying sneered, "Conquer them first, and then be kind to them, why don't you just fall into my trap obediently? You thought Liu Dongyang would be swept away so easily in southern Jinan, but without Qiu Zixiong's cooperation, he would have solved the chaos in southern Jinan so quickly game?"

   You Shiwei has heard of this.

Then Liu Dongyang led the Northwest Army from Henan to Hebei, and began to show its power from the south of Shanxi. Not to mention the so-called seven bandits and eight kings in Shanxi, they were also driven away like rabbits drilling mountains. .

   In less than half a year, the southern Jin rebellion was completely wiped out, and then cooperated with Sun Chengzong to defeat Fengzhou Bailian in northern Shanxi, forcing him to withdraw from Pianguan and other places that had been entrenched for more than a year.

   "Your Excellency is wise." You Shiwei sighed.

"It's not that I'm wise, it's because of the current situation. If you go against the trend, you will definitely be hit with a **** head. If you use the power of the sky, you will be powerless, and the power of the overlord will also kill yourself in Wujiang?" Feng Ziying shook her head: "White Lotus Sect can take advantage of the situation for a while, but not for a lifetime. Let's see what they did after the uprising. They burned, killed, looted, ate, drank, gambled, appointed officials and made vows to be extravagant and lustful. How is it different from Huangchao at the end of Tang Dynasty? A bunch of grassroots bandits That's all, it's just a matter of time to destroy it, so it's nothing to worry about."

   In front of You Shiwei and Ma Kongying, Feng Ziying still looked very domineering and full of confidence.

It's not that he brags about himself. Looking at what the White Lotus Sect has done, it may indeed cause a lot of damage, but in the end they can't succeed, nothing more than worrying that they will go too far in the hinterland of the Central Plains and give The Jianzhou Jurchens have a chance.

   Yuma and Yuma still deeply agree with what Feng Ziying said.

   A gang of mobs may seem to have a huge momentum, but when they really come into contact with practical things, these people basically have no decent routines except for destruction and looting.

  In addition to yelling out such illusory slogans as lifeless old mothers descending to earth and building a vacuum hometown, what else can you do?

   You can shout slogans for a while, can you grow grain and turn it into beef and mutton?

  As the Beijing camp began to move southward to Zhuozhou on a large scale, Feng Ziying and You Shiwei's strategy against the eastern rebels also began to enter into substantive and detailed arrangements.

The rebellious army in the central region can only be temporarily slowed down, but Feng Ziying's request to Ma Kongying is to stabilize the situation first and prevent it from spreading from the periphery. The main force engages in confrontation and entanglement, and can be properly maneuvered when necessary.

  The arrival of Tu Wenxiu, Ma Jinbao, Ma Chengxun and their soldiers made the entire old city of Rongcheng lively.

The old city of Rongcheng is still 30 miles away from the county seat of Rongcheng. It was precisely because they were worried that the secret operations of the White Lotus Sect in Rongcheng County would detect the actions of the officers and soldiers. The ancient city, a dilapidated small city that has been controlled by the military, came to meet.

"...Don't underestimate how dilapidated this place is. Rongcheng County has been here since the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the Five Dynasties of the Later Liang Dynasty, Liu Shouguang stormed the county here, causing great damage. Later, Jinshi Jingtang handed over this place to the Liao people. So the people have all gone to the south of the Juma River, and the place has been abandoned and decayed, and there is no way to recover its vitality,..."

  Feng Ziying was very interested, and introduced the history of Rongcheng to a group of generals.

   "After the Song Dynasty, the county government has reached the current location of the county seat, but the people follow where the county government is, and people will go wherever they go. Therefore, prosperity and decline are uncertain."

  Ma Chengxun, Ma Jinbao, Tu Wenxiu and others all nodded in agreement, and Ma Kongying and You Shigong next to them also nodded again and again.

   "Okay, we've finished our history, and it's time to get down to business." Feng Ziying walked into the temple with her hands behind her back.

  Here has become a temporary staff department. The large map hanging on the wall and the giant sand table in the hall all show that the Governor's Mansion has been preparing for this battle for a long time.

"Let's take a look first. Combining the map and the sand table, this large sand table is made with Baiyangdian and Wuguan Lake as the center. The surrounding Xiongxian, Anzhou, Renqiu, Wen'an, Baoding (county), Bazhou, Both on it, the distance between Xiong County and Renqiu is the shortest, but this passage is the dividing line between Baiyangdian and Wuguandian. The terrain is not high, only a few miles away, and the lake bandits live here land,…"

  Feng Ziying had already walked to the sand table, and a staff officer held a wooden stick and pointed to a slightly higher area between the two depressions.

   "This is the Baigou River. Zhu Di and Li Jinglong fought here in the former Ming Dynasty. This is also where the Song and Liao battles took place many times. The geographical location is extremely important. The Baigou Station is here, and now it has been occupied by the rebels..."

  "This is Yangguan City. It is said that it was built by Yang Yanzhao at the beginning, and there were five hundred rebel troops stationed there..."

"This is Waqiaoguan. In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, it was a battleground for military strategists. Tian Chengsi, Zhu Tao, and Li Baochen all fought here. Liu Rengong was beaten by Ge Congzhou here. Zhou Dewei showed his power here. He became famous in the first battle, Li Cunxu transported food, and was repeatedly attacked by Khitan here,..."

   "I don't know how many bones of arrogant soldiers and warriors are buried here..." Feng Ziying said with emotion.

   "This is Anzhou. The state is attached to Guogecheng County. The surrounding swamps are endless. You need a guide who is familiar with the terrain to avoid getting lost. Otherwise, once you turn into the swamp, you may not be able to get out in three to five days..."

   "According to the opinions of the governor, and after synthesizing some of the opinions of your lords, the staff department has initially drafted some ideas,..."

"Everyone, please look, this is Bazhou. Currently Bazhou is under the control of Mi Bei, with his nephew Mi Heng as the leader. The number of rebel troops is about 20,000, and it is divided into three parts. Among them, the south of Bazhou extends to Baoding (county) ) There are more than 8,000 people on this line, more than 5,000 people in Bazhou City, and more than 7,000 people stationed in Wen'an County,..."

   "This is Anzhou and Renqiu. Wang Haoyi's main force is concentrated here. He personally controls it. The force is about 12,000 people. The northern Xiongxian County is controlled by Zhou Yin. The number of troops is about 10,000 people..."

   "This means that Wang Haoyi, as the young master of Bailian, has the least number of troops..." Ma Chengxun asked in surprise as he had just arrived and still didn't know much about the situation.

"The relationship here is more complicated. Mi Bei is the head snake here, and she is also a Mi Bodhisattva in name, but she is also a woman. She personally respects Wang Haoyi, but this Mi Heng is very ambitious, so he always wants to squeeze Wang Haoyi. Go, but you can't do too much, Mi Heng and Zhou Yin have a very close relationship and formed a very close alliance..."

"That is to say, if we fight the weakest Zhou Yin first, we may attract Mi Heng's full support, and if we fight Wang Haoyi, it will be difficult for Mi Heng?" Ma Jinbao also laughed, "Although these disorderly troops Combat strength is average, but they are still so infighting, isn't this asking for a dead end?"

   "If it's really that simple, a proud soldier must be defeated, how could it be delayed like this in the early stage?" Feng Ziying said coldly.

  It was only then that Ma Jinbao realized that what he said was a bit derogatory to the Jizhen army. The Jizhen army was mired here in the early stage, and they didn't fight a decent battle.

   Ma Jinbao hurriedly apologized to You Shiwei, but You Shiwei didn't care. It wasn't entirely Ji Zhenjun's fault. If anyone was to blame, he would be the idiot Yuan Yingtai.

  Next, the people in the staff department began to introduce the advantages and difficulties in this battle to the generals, and what problems might arise, in order to maximize the countermeasures, and finally deploy the tactics.

  Gaoyang County is still under government control, but the surrounding area has basically been besieged by Wang Haoyi's rebel army, and the situation is critical.

  If action is not taken in time, it may be estimated that Gaoyang County will fall within three to five days.

  At that time, Anzhou, Gaoyang, and Renqiu will be connected in a line from the west to the south around Baiyangdian, and will also be connected with the Miheng control area in the east.

   Therefore, if we want to fight, we must start from the breakthrough of Gaoyang, but Feng Ziying is not satisfied with this progress.

   Only taking Gaoyang County, or defeating Wang Haoyi's control area, seems too small. If we go on like this step by step, I'm afraid it will only take four months, and the goal may not be achieved.
