Chapter 179 Jinjiang County
When Gao Jichong saw Manager Su walking away, he felt uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Sun Yu had done such a big thing, not only Jianzhou, but now he still has Quanzhou. I believe Zhangzhou will only have a matter of time. Just a barren Jianzhou dares to attack Qingyuan Army. What will happen next when Sun Yu, who has won the Three Prefectures?
Now Sun Yu is not as proud as Gao Jichong, and is taking almost 4,000 people to cross mountains and ridges in Dehua County. He is preparing to surprise Fuzhou. Because the mountain road is difficult to walk, the cavalry battalion acts as a baggage camp and runs all over the mountains. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder and there are not so many mosquitoes, otherwise they will be bitten to death.
"Sir, where are we going?" Han Zaiwu had long known where he was when he was wandering around in the wilderness every day. Occasionally, he met some mountain people, but they didn't know where they were under the jurisdiction. Anyway, they paid a lot of taxes. I don't know how those minor officials had such clever means. It really fits the saying that even deeper in the mountains, they should have no way to avoid levies.
"Yongtai County!" Sun Yu pointed his finger on the map. It was a county in the west of Fuzhou. If he could take this county, he could echo Putian, support each other, and threaten Fuzhou.
"Then why don't we go from Putian County?" Han Zaiwu looked at the map. It wasn't it closer, and the road was easy to walk. Starting from Dehua County, they walked seven or eight Tianshan Road in a row.
"Nonsense, you know that you can't imagine going from Putian, Fuzhou? What we want is unexpected, do you know?" Sun Yu kicked Han Zaiwu in dissatisfaction, and didn't know how to use his brain. The way everyone knows must be either an obstacle or a spy.
"Yes, are we going to take down this Yongtai County?" Han Zaiwu touched his head. Why did the adults have such a head? Everyone stared at Putian. He turned his gun and touched the deep mountains and forests.
"Wait a little longer, don't worry, wait until the news comes before taking action." Sun Yu's routine, if you want to make an idea of a certain place, there must be soldiers from the special camp to go first. As early as when planning to go south to Quanzhou, Sun Yu sent someone to Fuzhou, including Yongtai County, which is also prepared for any trouble. Sun Yu looked at the map and now he was less than 30 miles away from Bantou Township next to Yongtai County, but because the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is estimated that it will take one day to get there.
In Sun Yu's plan, it is much better to occupy Bantou Township first than staying in the wilderness, but if this happens, it will be a bit difficult to keep the news confidential.
"Set out!" Sun Yu thought for a moment. This risk was too great. Once it was exposed, all his efforts would be wasted. He would find a mountain valley for a few days before the special camp soldiers heard news.
Guan Qingquan, the county magistrate of Jinjiang County, was always worried, but finally came to see his old boss, Quanzhou Sima Yeheng. Ye Sima did not disappoint him and brought Sun Yu's order of recruitment. Guan Qingquan hurriedly went downstairs and continued to hang out with his old boss Yeheng. Two days later, Gan Yue brought the Fifth Regiment of the Jianzhou Army to the city, and Guan Qingquan happily handed over the city defense. Because Jinjiang County is close to Quanzhou City, there are very few troops in the city. Gan Yue directly compiled them all according to Sun Yu's wishes, and trained them first.
Ye Heng stayed in Jinjiang County for a few days, and the matter was almost done, so he should leave. There was still a Xianyou County waiting for him to do it. Compared to Jinjiang County, Xianyou County is much more difficult to walk on the road, and it is a pain.
Guan Qingquan bid farewell to Ye Heng in the restaurant, and the fifth regiment commander Gan Yue was also present at the seat. Gan Yue, an old man from the Qingyuan Army, is also the only general in Quanzhou who holds real power. Naturally, he must get close to him.
.
"Person Gan, we are now working together. If there is anything we need to support, please speak out." Ye Heng said bluntly. In the future, everyone will make a living under Lord Sun and take care of each other. Sun Yu had expected this situation long ago, and Deng Qin would probably be closer to the civil servants in Quanzhou. In the past, the old subordinates of Jianzhou must have been closer to each other, so the two sides are more balanced. As a superior, you must pay attention to balancing all parties.
"Then Gan said it straightforwardly. In the future, the personnel of each regiment have to wait for the recruits to be recruited, and they cannot recruit soldiers privately. However, the regiments are the ones who are responsible for their daily training. If the food supply is better, it is easy to train strong soldiers." Gan Yue thought, he had to show some skills to prove it. Now Chen Hongjin is in Tong'an County. Without Sun Yu's order, he would not dare to cross the border to find fault, so he could only practice troops diligently. Now he has no supply from the rear, and all has to rely on Jinjiang County. Other logistics support is close to Putian.
"Don't worry, Master Gan, this matter is not enough. Guan Mou sold his money and will never shorten the supply of your fifth regiment." Guan Qingquan thought clearly that everyone is on the same boat now, taking care of each other. If the fifth regiment can make a name for themselves, they, the old people in Quanzhou, can also have more face.
"Okay, with the words of the county magistrate Guan, Gan must practice troops diligently to ensure peace here." Gan Yue is full of confidence. Although Chen Hongjin is famous, he has lost his troops and generals and retreated to Zhangzhou. As long as he dares to come to Jinjiang, he will definitely make him trampled on the city.
"There are still a batch of weapons and armor in my warehouse. Lord Ye has not counted it yet. It is better to directly give it to the Fifth Regiment of Captain Gan, so as to avoid being too time-consuming and laborious." Guan Qingquan stored a batch of combat preparations in the warehouse and was preparing to give it to Gan Yue directly in private to improve the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Regiment.
"No, I can't explain the private teachings and treatments. Later, when Lord Sun asked, it would be difficult for you and I to reply. Otherwise, Gan requisitioned this batch of supplies in the name of the Fifth Regiment to defend the city and report them back to the master. What do you think? " Gan Yue's intuition told him that this matter should not be hidden from Sun Yu. It was to lay mines for himself, and it would be better to requisition openly. It would also be a waste of dust in the warehouse. His purpose was to increase combat power for the Fifth Regiment, not to gain personal gain, and there was nothing to cover up.
"I am very pleased that Captain Gan is so transparent. You have to learn a little. Our magistrate is extraordinary. Do things with your heart and don't think about it." Ye Heng stroked his beard gently. Gan Yue could do this, so he would definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the Jianzhou Army. These old people in Quanzhou also had more support.
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean?" Guan Qingquan was a little puzzled. Isn't this a matter of making a small move in private? Otherwise, how can he be considered a filibuster?
"We can get closer and take care of each other on weekdays. It is human nature, but we must not be private. This is the bottom line." Ye Heng has been very knowledgeable about Sun Yu's behavior. As long as this matter is for the public, it doesn't matter. But if you stretch out your hands and break the rules, you will also kill people.
Gan Yue didn't stop nodding. As long as it was for the sake of the best of the rule, it would be harmless. But if it was for the sake of selfish interests, the nature would change. At least he Gan Yue would not dare to do this. The three of them talked about interesting officialdom. Ye Heng did not get on the horse and left. Gan Yue kept sending him outside the city gate.
Speaking of which, Qian Renjun has received the order of King Qian Hongchu of Yue to teach Southern Tang a lesson. He is preparing to take Putian County and direct troops to Quanzhou. He also transports a batch of materials by sea to supply them to the army.
Qian Renjun received the supplies and continued to recruit 5,000 troops to stay in Fuzhou City. All 30,000 veterans in Fuzhou were sent to Fengtou Mountain to confront Jianzhou Army across the river.
"General, we have many people, why should we confront each other here? It's better to divide the troops." The aide looked at Jiang Shui and said. He suffered this loss last time. No matter how many people there were, it would be useless if he couldn't do it. If the troops were divided into three groups and crossed the river to fight at the same time, the other party had to divide the troops, so that his own numerical advantage could be used.
"What the sir said is very good. Study the terrain immediately, send troops tomorrow and prepare for battle." Qian Renjun was under great pressure. The court gave so many supplies. If he could not fight this battle well, he might have to go back to Hangzhou to retire. In fact, although there were many soldiers, Qian Renjun was a little unsure. Nanyue had been peaceful for many years and had never fought much. The five thousand soldiers buried with You Jinan were the most elite troops of the entire Zhangwu Army. On the contrary, the Jianzhou Army on the opposite side had never stopped fighting, and they were all brave soldiers who survived the battlefield. Otherwise, the five thousand people would not have been swallowed by them.
In the Jianzhou Army's tent, Bai Yong, Cheng Zhenbei, Chen Qiba, Deng Qin and his aide Zhuge Xuan were checking the topographic map and thinking about countermeasures. This matter is not easy to deal with. The Jianzhou Army has a total of 13,000 people, and at least 2,000 people have to be left to look at Putian County. There are still 11,000 people left. It is under great pressure to deal with the 30,000 troops opposite.
"Mad, the magnificent person in the city is just a turtle, and he will never show his head." Old Cheng punched the table. If he could take down Putian City and catch the prisoners, he would probably have more people. He would be able to put all his money in the confrontation with the opponent and could also be more relaxed. Now, this Putian City is like a piece of shit, stuck to the soles of his feet and can't be shaken off.
"Mr. Zhuge, let me think of a mistake." Chen Qiba had no good idea, so he was counting on this newly arrested aide. Bai Yong and Deng Qin were also staring at Zhuge Xuan. At least he knew much more about Zhang Shuo in the city and Qian Renjun opposite him than himself.
"My generals, if this is not bad as I expected, the other party will definitely divide the troops. From my understanding, in addition to this place, these two places are suitable for large troops to cross the river. The distance between them can not only allow them to take care of each other, but also disperse our troops and reduce the difficulty of crossing the river." Zhuge Xuan pointed on the map and said, as long as it is not a pig, he will definitely not resist here. The 30,000 troops are all here, and eating, drinking, and urinating every day is a problem.
"Then let's go to the defense now?" Cheng Zhenbei felt that the dog-headed military advisor made some sense. They could prepare first to avoid panic.
"You can only prepare quietly. If the movement is too big and the other party discovers, you will definitely change the place." Zhuge Xuan pointed out that the two places above are relatively open and the water flow is smooth. But if you build fortifications with great fanfare, the other party will definitely change the place and are unwilling to use human lives to fill it.
"Old rule, I'll bring some people to the top first, Bahu, you are in the middle. Captain Deng and Captain Bai will stay here." Cheng Zhenbei felt that the opponent's main force must be here, so he had to keep more people. Bahu now has the least number of people, and it's in the middle. It's more convenient for both sides to support him.
