Chapter 84 Waiting "Wait!"
Chief Shi Wang Kai shivered again, and his eyebrows quickly wrinkled into knots.
When he joined the army under General Manager Zhu, all he saw was how to plan and calculate and weigh.
He wished he could clearly deduce every move of both the enemy and ourselves on paper.
But when it came to Hu Dahai, it was a completely different style.
It seemed that all the moves were performed at random.
Not only did the enemy's army be unpredictable, but his own people were also confused.
"Privy Liu has exhausted all his plans, and Hu cannot match them.
The governor is a genius, and it is difficult for others to match him."
While he was confused, he heard Hu Dahai add in a low voice.
"So Hu can't learn from them no matter what.
If he does it reluctantly, it's like learning to walk in Handan."
"Both the Chen family and the Pu family have been operating in the local area for many years, and their foundation is far inferior to that of Shi Moyi and Sun.
And our army is about to run out of gunpowder, and its ability to attack difficult problems will be greatly reduced.
We can stay in Chuzhou for a few days, and we can wait for it to be delivered later.
"Supplies."
What Ivanov considered was the decline in the combat effectiveness of the Huai'an Second Army.
He smiled and whispered in agreement.
Since the commander-in-chief and deputy commanders agreed, Wang Kai, the long history officer, had no choice but to comply.
After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Then kill Shi Mo Yisun first, and then continue south.
I just don't know how many days it will take to delay the supply and whether the supplies can be transported in time."
"Before departure, the Commander-in-Chief had an appointment with Fang Guozhen.
The cargo ship of our Huaiyang Navy can dock in Wenzhou.
Then we can use the waterway to transport supplies to the Second Army."
Ivanov smiled again and explained very patiently.
"If we send a fast horse to Jiqing now to urge the fortune, it will probably take seven or eight days, which will be enough."
Seven or eight days is not a long time.
Wang Kai himself predicted that Shi Moyisun would not be able to take the initiative to rush down from Fanling to fight with the second army until he ran out of food.
So I stopped talking, put my heart back in my stomach, and waited for Hu Dahai to let go.
Facts quickly proved that Hu Dahai was indeed unique in his use of troops.
Three days later, Hu Shen, Wang Zhang, Liu Yi and others sent back the good news.
Lishui City was captured by the soldiers in a bloody battle.
Daru Huachi on Chuzhou Road in Mengyuan also committed suicide by drowning first to suppress Lai Buhua and Lishui.
The prefect Li Guofeng and others led the remaining civil and military officials in Hecheng to surrender with their account books and household registrations.
Wang Kai was surprised and happy when he heard the news.
He quickly wrote a petition to the Privy Council to report his victory, and then found Hu Dahai again and suggested in a low voice, "General Hu, are you commanding the envoys to move their headquarters to Lishui?
According to the general's opinion, Shi Moyisun may have already prepared to stay there for a long time."
We have made preparations and stored enough food and grass on Fanling Mountain."
"No rush, you pass the order for me, let Wang Zhang stay in Lishui, Hu Shen goes to attack Songyang, Longquan and Suichang.
Liu Yi goes to recover Qingtian."
Hu Dahai shook his head gently and gave an unbelievable answer again. answer.
"That, that" Wang Kai was speechless again, and there was a faint smoke billowing back and forth on the mountain in front of his head.
The total number of large and small cities under the control of Chuzhou Road is only seven.
Except for Qingyuan in the south, Hu Dahai actually handed over the remaining six to the newly surrendered Hu Shen and others to attack.
The Second Army, which is armed to the teeth, has so far been equivalent to not recapturing a single city, and has only stayed in the military camp to enjoy the gains.

If this continues, Hu Shen, Wang Zhang and other demoted generals will have more and more achievements.
In addition, coupled with the influence of their respective families in the local area, it will inevitably lead to the trend of being invincible.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing Wang Kai's confused look, Hu Dahai rarely smiled again.
He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and whispered: "The results are coming out soon.
Even if you don't believe me, you should believe the governor.
Since his debut, he has never taken an adventure like this one without considering the surrounding people at all.
The reaction of the forces on the other side directly caused the second army to march thousands of miles away."
"This" It's okay if Chang Shi Wang Kai didn't listen.
After hearing this, he became more and more confused.
"Wait, wait with confidence."
Hu Dahai patted his shoulder again and left with a laugh.
He had confidence in himself, the Huai'an Second Army Corps, and Zhu Chongjiu, so he didn't mind spending some time waiting.
However, thousands of miles away, the Mongolian Emperor Tuohuan Timur couldn't wait any longer.
After receiving the news that Chuzhou's gates were wide open and Shi Moyisun was trapped in Fanling, he immediately sent people to pull out all the important civil and military officials from their beds overnight.
After meeting him, without saying a word, he directly threw the latest secret report about the war situation in Prime Minister Hama's face.
"This is what you said, drive the tiger and devour the wolf.
This is what you said.
After running thousands of miles, you will defeat the general.
It has only been more than a month, and Hu Dahai has almost entered Jianning.
How long do you have to wait for me to think about it?"
Come up with a proper solution” "Your Majesty, your Majesty, calm down your anger and anger at the minister.
The minister is unaware of the enemy and deserves death."
Prime Minister Hama was beaten until his nose was sore and his scalp was tight.
He knelt down with a trembling body and whispered his apology.
Nanjing and Quanzhou are more than two thousand miles apart.
Along the way, there are Zhang Shicheng, Yang Wanzhe, Fang Guozhen and others watching eagerly.
Therefore, according to his initial judgment, it was impossible for Zhu Chongjiu to attack the Pu family from land.
And if the Huai'an Navy launches operations from the sea like it did in the surprise attack on Jiaozhou.
Who wins and who loses is not necessarily known.
After all, the Pu family has controlled shipping along the entire southeast coast since the Song Dynasty.
It has more than a thousand large and small warships and tens of thousands of experienced naval officers.
With his familiarity with naval warfare and hydrology, it is entirely possible to bridge the gap in firearms with the Huai'an Navy.
But after all calculations, he never expected that Butcher Zhu's "gambling nature" was so serious that he would risk the food route being cut off by others and order Hu Zeidai to lead a lone army to attack thousands of miles away.
Unexpectedly, after nearly two years of rest, the strength of the Huai'an Army has improved a lot compared to before.
With just one of the six main forces, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces can be defeated.
At this moment, Butcher Zhu actually had two other powerful forces in his hands.
One of them was used to keep an eye on Zhang Shicheng, and the other one was specially used to clear the way for Hu Dahai.
Now it seems that it is obviously impossible to expect the Pu family to fight the Huai'an army on the sea and lose both sides.
After Hu Dahai defeated Chuzhou, he could cross the not-so-dangerous Donggong Mountain, take Shouning, and head straight for Fu'an.
And when he successfully obtained Fuzhou Road, Quanzhou Road was already within easy reach.
After a short rest, they teamed up with the Huai thieves Xu Da and attacked them.
No matter how strong the Pu family's advantage was on the water, they could not stop the combined attack of Xu and Hu on land.
The situation had become so corrupt that Hama, as the prime minister, had long understood that he had accidentally made another big mistake.
However, after careful consideration, he found to his dismay that he could not find any way to remedy the situation.

The soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, whether it is the Chen Jiajun, Pu Jiajun, or the Miao army that has been defeated by Xu Da, have long ceased to obey the imperial court's orders.
The neighboring province of Jiangxi has also been plagued by war in the past two years.
The officers and soldiers were unable to fight the fire everywhere, let alone freeing up their hands to support Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
So today, when questioned by Tuohuan Timur in person, Hama could not do anything except plead guilty.
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was really in love with Timur, but he was so irritated by his behavior of playing a dead dog.
"How dare I let you die, my prime minister?"
He slapped the table hard and asked sternly. , "You are the Qingtian of my Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu, not only did the treasury once again have a surplus, the civil and military officials of this dynasty, whoever mentions you without benefiting from you, if I really dare to wrongly accuse you, I am afraid that the next day, this Ming Dynasty will The palace will have to change its owner” Note 1 This is too harsh to say.
Not only did Hama sweat profusely, but also the important ministers of the imperial court, Taiwei Yuekuocha'er, Zuo Xiang Dingzhu, Shi Yushi Wang Jianu, Privy Council colleagues Tulu Timur, Quanpu Ansali, etc.
He fell to the ground and scrambled to defend himself, "Your Majesty, please calm down.
Fei Chen and others are unclear about the matter.
I did not expect that Butcher Zhu would act so boldly."
"Your Majesty, although the thief Dahai has invaded Chuzhou, the direct lineage of the thief is still entrenched in Jiqing at this moment.
It is too early to determine whether the next step will be by land or water."
"Your Majesty, it's not Lord Hama's improper response, but it's actually the betrayal of the local Han generals, which has caused Shimo Yisun to be unable to escape."
"Your Majesty, the thieves just succeeded in a surprise attack.
They may not be able to continue to advance as fast as before.
After all, further south is the territory operated by the Chen family in Fujian, the Lin family in Quanzhou, and the Pu family in Quanzhou."
"Your Majesty, calm down.
The Pu family in Quanzhou has not delivered a grain of grain or a piece of gold or silver to the imperial court for many years.
His wolfish ambitions are clearly exposed.
If the red thief can fight with him, both sides will lose, and our government will just reap the benefits."
"Shut up the nonsense, you guys shut up with me."
The more Tuohuan Timur listened, the more irritated he became.
He grabbed the paperweight, inkstone, pen and ink on the desk, and smashed them on everyone's heads one by one, "We've all reached this point.
At that time, you still hoped that Butcher Zhu and the Pu family would fight on the water and lose both sides.
Do you think Butcher Zhu is a fool?
How far is Jiqing from Quanzhou on the waterway, and how far is Chuzhou from Quanzhou on land?
Butcher Zhu left his two favorite bandits untouched, but wanted to risk a surprise attack on Quanzhou from the water.
Was he well fed, or had his head been stepped on by a horse's hooves?"
"This" the civil and military ministers were speechless after being scolded.
They lowered their heads one after another and stared at the floor in a daze.
Seeing this scene, Tuohuan Timur became more and more furious.
"I haven't spoken any more, I have become mute, and I am still short-tongued.
Five hundred thousand guan, Butcher Zhu only used 500,000 guan to bribe you to surrender the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
If he had If I spend another one million yuan, will I have to leave the Great Wall now?"
"Your Majesty" really couldn't stand Tuohuan Timur's wanton frame-up, and Prime Minister Hama cried and kowtowed.
"Butcher Zhu spent 500,000 yuan to buy wool.
Although it was the result of secret negotiations between my brother Xuexue and his subordinate Feng Guoyong, I already have an account book of the specific whereabouts of this money.
I can swear to heaven that if A piece of paper has gone into my pocket.
I am willing to suffer the punishment of being quartered by five horses.
I will never cry out for injustice for the rest of my life."
"Your Majesty, Zhu Thief originally promised 500,000 yuan to buy wool for his workshop.
After I got the money one after another, I also spent it on the people, and I didn't take any money.
If Your Majesty finds out, I am corrupt, I, I, I am willing to work with the Prime Minister to be quartered with five horses."

The slave of Wang's family, the censor, also quickly kowtowed and swore with Hama, who he usually didn't deal with very well.
"The old minister was wronged" "A humble minister pledges his life to the country without any selfish motives."
"Although the veteran's family is poor, he still doesn't bother to touch this wool money."
"Wei Chen" "Old Minister" Other civil and military ministers also spoke one after another, and no one was willing to claim the charges that Tuohuan Timur had seized out of thin air.
It was not that they united to deceive the emperor, but that they liked Timur as the emperor, and their actions were really ridiculous.
They tacitly allowed the Huai'an army to go to Quanzhou to settle accounts with the Pu family, but Dayuan pretended to be deaf to this, and the decision was made only after court discussions.
Everyone present today, including Tuohuan Timur himself, held a supportive attitude at that time, and no one tried to shut out the 500,000 yuan that the Huai thieves sent to the door.
Although everyone initially misjudged the Huai thieves' next move, they were wishful thinking that Zhu Butcher and the Pu family of Quanzhou would fight on the sea and both sides would suffer, and then the court would just get the advantage of the fishermen.
But it cannot be said that everyone was bribed by Zhu Chongjiu and deliberately misjudged the situation.
Moreover, at least 20% of the 500,000 Huaiyang copper coins that had arrived were from transactions with the imperial merchants, and all the profits went into the internal treasury.
You, the emperor, cannot just collect the money and then turn around and rake it away.
"You, you" was so angry at the attitude of the civil and military officials that his vision went dark.
Tuohuan Timur held his hands on the table and shook his body back and forth.
"You are all loyal ministers.
You are all Bigan and Zhuge Liang.
I am Shang."
King Zhou, I am an Adou who cannot help you.
I am an Adou.
Is that okay?
Come and call the prince.
I will write the edict of passing the throne to him in front of you.
It will be done for you.
Waiting wish” "Your Majesty," Hama and the others heard this and cried again and exclaimed, "I, I have been wronged."
"I have absolutely no such thoughts.
If I don't mean what I say, I am willing to be struck by thunder from heaven."
"Your Majesty, I am just telling you the truth, and I have no intention of offending you."
He said one thousand and said ten thousand, but everyone refused to obey the edict.
Including Pu Buhua, a die-hard confidant who stood beside Tuohuan Timur, wept and prostrated, begging him to take back his life.
However, Tuohuan Timur was determined and vowed to pass the throne to the prince immediately.
Then he shaved off his hair and escaped into Buddhism, where he lived the rest of his life under the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.
Being forced to have no other choice, Prime Minister Hama could only grit his teeth and kowtow, "Your Majesty, you have to attack Butcher Zhu now.
If you can force it together, I can put together an army of 100,000."
"Isn't it just your duty to quell the chaos in the country?
Or are you reluctant to part with the five hundred thousand yuan in the coming year, and would rather sell the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to the Zhu thieves?"
Tuohuan Timur heard this, and immediately Here comes the spirit.
His eyes widened and he interrupted sharply.
"No."
Hama's eyes were red and he shook his head vigorously.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient.
Let me finish what I have to say.
I was reluctant to take any action before.
Firstly, I misjudged the direction of Zhu Thief's troops.
Secondly, I wanted to use Zhu Thief's power to suppress the Pu family.
That's fine.
Knock out the money and food from the Pu family to raise troops in order to save the court.

Since your Majesty doesn't want to wait any longer, I have no choice but to let the Pu family take advantage of it.
I will go and gather money and prepare the army for war within half a month. , forcing Butcher Zhu to return from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to save himself."
