Chapter 256: Second Choice


Kaiyang, the capital of Langxi County, was located about twenty miles north of the confluence of the upper reaches of Surabaya and Yishui, and when Liu Yan came to Kaiyang with a large army, the offensive and defensive battles of the city had already begun.

Kaiyang City does not occupy a wide area, it can be seen that it has undergone emergency repairs, and some gaps can not be blocked by rammed earth, but they will also find sundries such as stones, wood and so on to block them.

Huan Wen was interested in the offensive and defensive battles of the city, and he was more interested in the number of ships of the Han army.

If you want to cross the Yishui from Juxian to Kaiyang, the Han army used very rapid means to seize control of several bridges, and there was no need to build temporary bridges.

Yishui is a river connecting Zhushui, one of the three major water systems in Yanzhou, which runs through the entire Dong'an County from Yanzhou, becoming a straight line and flowing through the entire Dongguan County and Surabaya.

Surabaya is not just a river, it is a water system that can be said to extend in all directions, and has a direct connection to the Jianghuai water network.

Surabaya should be said to be the largest water network in Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and its tributaries are widely spread.

Historically, if you want to go south, no one can ignore the existence of Surabaya.

Huan Wen paid attention to the boats running on the river when passing through Yishui, but it was far away and it was difficult to see what level the ships of the Han army were, and he could only roughly see that it was not a building ship system.

By the way, the building boat is an artifact in the south since the Western Han Dynasty, and has always been regarded as a representative of strength in the south, any power country based on the Yangtze River region, no one can ignore the existence of the building boat, the former Eastern Wu is so, the current Eastern Jin Dynasty small court is so, and the Song, Liang, Chen, Qi or something in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in the future, anyway, as long as you want to gain a foothold in the south, it is impossible to ignore the building boat.

Once the number is large, what level can actually be put back, Huan Wen's visual level is good, what he saw was more than five hundred ships, most of them should be transport ships and the like, the number of warships is definitely within fifty, but the appearance of those warships has really not been seen.

The number of Han troops on the side of Kaiyang City has reached 80,000, so that means that the previous 50,000 Han troops took the land route, and the 30,000 new Han troops took the water route.

"The Hu people rarely use waterways."

Yuan Qiao said gloomily: "Since Liu Yuanjun can transport 30,000 by water, he can transport more. ” No one will forget that Hanbu's "playing with water" was something that had been there from the beginning, and it was still playing with the sea.

Since the Han Department was able to cross the sea to war, many people would take it for granted that the inland water could also be played, completely unaware that sea vessels and inland river vessels were fundamentally two systems.

Yuan Qiao said that it was not for anything else, Liu Yan had already shown enough hostility to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so it was not good news for the Eastern Jin Dynasty that the Han army in the inland river system could also play.

The real situation is that the reason why the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was able to enjoy themselves in the south was because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and at the same time, the Hu people could not play water warfare.

This time, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was so nervous that Shijie Zhao was going south, not because he was afraid of the so-called million army, but because Shi Hu had collected tens of thousands of craftsmen in shipbuilding is still the same sentence, once the quantity of something is enough and the quality can really be inferior, if the Shijie Zhao army throws out thousands of warships, how long can the Eastern Jin Dynasty naval army be able to fight at that time A shout of "Wansheng" was suddenly roared out, making Huan Wen, who had lost his mind before, smart, and he turned his head to see that a Han army in red and black uniforms had poured into the collapsed gap like a tide.

It's the crash, that's the rhythm of the stone-throwing cart that is close to the table.

The rock-throwing trucks were transported by waterway transport ships and were put into use as soon as they arrived on the same day, which was obviously a meritorious achievement.

"How many defenders are there in Kaiyang City?"

"Counting the Zhao army who retreated from Yangdu, as well as the Hu people gathered in the surrounding area, the conservative number should be 50,000" The Han army continued to pour in through the gap, and the sound of shouting and killing soon broke out in the city, and as time passed, the shouting and killing did not stop, but black smoke rose from the city to the sky.

If the Chinese civilization attacked and defended the city, once the enemy army poured into the city, the large-scale battle would basically end, which would be a manifestation of morale collapse.

And Kaiyang City did not end the battle because of the large influx of Han troops, but I don't know if the Hu people did not have the idea of defeat without the enemy army entering the city, or the Hu people had long held the idea of fighting in the streets One gap was followed by the second, and finally the city gate was opened by the Han soldiers who entered the city, and the more passages that could enter the city, the more the number and speed of the Han army's influx would surge.

"It's confirmed, and there is no dry firewood, fire oil, etc. found inside."

Sang Yu looked a little sweaty, but it was not frightened or nervous, it was purely hot: "It seems that the Hu people plan to fight with us."

Liu Yan was still looking at the system map in his mind before, as long as he confirmed how many defenders there were in the city, and then he would mobilize troops to attack the city from the other three directions, after all, it was always better to attack from multiple directions than from a single direction.

"Wang Luan's will is firmer than Deng Heng."

Liu Yan asked: "Confirm that Wang Luan is the general who surrendered Shijie from the Liangguo side" Cui Xuanzheng sat in a corner of the military tent, he was defeated and captured for the second time, serving the third force, seeing Liu Yan's eyes sweeping over, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Back to the king, Wang Luan is indeed a general of the Liang Kingdom." ” It seems that Cui Xuan doesn't know a lot, and even there are two people named Wang Luan in Liangguo, one of course is Wang Luan, who is currently in charge of the Xuzhou army, and the other is a well-known god operator among the people.

Later, when Wang Luan pretended to be a ghost, he was beheaded by Zhang Zuo on the charge of bewitching the public with evil words.

Liu Yan also asked casually, since Cui Xuan knew so much, he also asked more, such as what Wang Luan did in front of the Zhang family, how many wars he had participated in, and what official position he had always been, and he asked everything he should ask.

What's more weird is that Cui Xuan can actually answer, and finally said with a wry smile: "The villain himself is a general, but he doesn't have the ability to lead troops, Shi Jie has no respect for the scribes, so he can only know more about things, so as to have a good experience." ” Liu Yan allowed Cui Xuan to surrender and included Cui Xuan, which was after some investigation.

Cui Xuan didn't do anything to lose his conscience after surrendering Shijie, at least Liu Yan didn't find it for the time being.

Cui Xuan may be extremely humble on the side of Shijie Zhao Guo, it seems that the means of making friends are also good, it can be said that he has a wide range of contacts, so Liu Yan can use such a person.

According to Cui Xuan's account, Wang Luan is clearly a person with a tough personality, and his ability to command troops is not bad.

In this way, Liu Yan understands some things.

"The defenders of Kaiyang City must have received some orders in advance, and they will do their best to hold us back."

Liu Yan didn't look nervous, and said: "If there is no mistake, Wang Luan must be on the way to lead the army."

Sang Yu was about to say something, but someone spoke first.

"Liu Yuanjun, Wen has a question."

Huan Wen first attracted Liu Yan's attention, but when he saw everyone in the tent looking over, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"Yuanzi wants to ask, my army is going south, if Shijie's army attacks Qingzhou from Jizhou or Yanzhou, what should I do" Liu Yan knew that he had guessed as soon as he saw Huan Wen's face, and couldn't help laughing a few times and waved his hand: "Since I led the army south, I must be prepared." ” "Liu Yuanjun's troops in the Kaiyang battlefield are close to 80,000, and how many defenders are there in the rear" Huan Wen looked incredulous, and sighed later: "If Liu Yuanjun allows, please allow the lower official to send someone back, at least let the general of the Che Cai threaten the rear wing of the Zhao army from the south" If it is according to the normal situation, that is, from a conventional military point of view, Huan Wen is indeed a good suggestion.

"Yuanzi, frankly speaking, I don't believe that the Jin army has the ability to go north, just like Wang Luanming led his army to the Langxi battlefield in a flash, ignoring the Jin army in the direction of Guangling."

Seeing that Huan Wen wanted to refute, Liu Yan didn't give a chance to speak, and said: "Your internal friction is too serious, and even people suspect that you are also the product of internal friction." ” Huan Wen was stunned: "How can you say this?"

"More than ten years ago, there was a man named Gong Tao who opened a academy in Donglai, he operated in Qingzhou, recruited a wide range of children, and was considered to have a wide range of contacts."

Liu Yan slowly told some things about Mr.

Gong Tao, and then talked about Miyazawa, and finished talking about the battle between Liu Yan and Shijie Zhao Jun in Qingzhou some time ago, and finally said: "Please allow me to use the sentence "There is more than enough success to describe those family valves nesting south of the Yangtze River, I don't just refer to some people, frankly speaking, one is considered to be garbage, and you are also one of those garbage." ” In fact, Huan Wen didn't understand what "garbage" meant, but he could also know from Liu Yan's tone and demeanor that it was not a good word.

He knew more or less about the fact that the Eastern Jin Dynasty had chess pieces in Qingzhou, but he really didn't know that those chess pieces would appear in such a posture.

"I haven't told Motoko about his second choice, and I've already said this, so I'll tell Motoko."

Liu Yan had a smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, the smile was a little cold: "Since you were sent here because you were abandoned, then there must be someone who doesn't want you to do something."

To put it mildly, the Huan family and the Yu family are too close, and some people hope that the two families will break up or even attack each other.

Or, you've been trying to crusade against Cheng Han to the detriment of whom?"

Huan Wen's face turned blue and asked, "Can you say the second choice?"

"The first choice is that Yuanzi takes the initiative to serve me and immediately devote himself to the great cause of recovering the Central Plains, but instead of being loyal to Sima, the waste royal family that will even extinguish the incense of Yanhuang Temple, it is loyal to me."

Liu Yan also ignored Huan Wen, whose face changed greatly when he heard the Sima royal family extinguish the incense of Yanhuang Temple, and continued to say: "The second choice is" When a broken dog oo:
