Chapter 1456

"Fortunately, the LORD loves to build roads, otherwise these supplies will be delivered a few days later."

Knowing that the first batch of supplies had arrived at the front line, Fengzhen and others quickly sent someone to pick them up, took care of the supplies and checked the accounts.

They were relieved when they confirmed that it was correct.

My Lord is capricious and changes his mind before the battle, which leads to the shortage of front-line defense equipment. Once the defensive army array is adopted, it is bound to suffer heavy losses.

Fengzhen and others were worried for several days. For fear that the enemy would find out, they hardly slept well.

Now that the supplies have arrived, they are confident enough.

Yang Si's haggard face smiled. He said, "the Lord always said, 'if you want to be rich, build the road first', don't be rough."

There is no war on weekdays, and the flat road is convenient for people to travel.

Once the war begins, the supplies can quickly reach the front line.

This is very important for the rapidly changing front line.

After finishing the matter of returning the baggage to the warehouse, Fuwang called everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Zhangzhou is Yang Tao's stronghold. The waterway here is developed. For outsiders unfamiliar with the terrain, it is very difficult to attack.

Of course, if you are not good at water warfare, even if you are familiar with the terrain of water and land, you still can't take advantage of it.

Feng Zhen said, "our Lord is also an expert in planning ahead. He dug Qi Kuang from Yang Jian early, otherwise it would be difficult to fight this war."

At the Huangshui League, Fengzhen recommended Qi Kuang to Jiang Pengji.

Because it's not good to ask Yang Jian for someone directly, she "borrowed" Qi Kuang under the excuse of "borrowing people to watch". So far, she hasn't thought of returning it. Qi kuangqin earnestly trained the Navy for Jiang Pengji for many years. As a down-to-earth doer, Qi kuangping only knows to immerse himself in hard practice, never ask for credit, and live up to the Lord's trust in him. Therefore, his sense of existence has not been high in recent years.

However, this does not obliterate Qi Kuang's credit. His efforts over the years are also valuable.

Without him, it would not have been so easy to win the water war against northern Xinjiang, let alone establish the hegemony of the north in one fell swoop.

Now it is Zhangzhou with developed waters, and water warfare is unavoidable.

If a group of dry ducks go on board to fight a water war, it is almost equivalent to giving heads to the enemy. What strength!

Even in the face of battle, the casualties will be very heavy.

Yang Si said with a smile, "if you don't agree with others, you have to admit it."

Qi kuangqian said humbly. He didn't think it was his own credit. Without the Lord's trust and support for many years, he wouldn't be what he is now. You should know that most of Jiang Pengji's territory is in the north, which hardly needs water warfare. Training sailors is also a waste of time and energy.

The navy is not easy to train, and the energy cost is unimaginable to outsiders.

Qi Kuang knew very well that some people had been dissatisfied with the Navy for a long time and thought that the useless Navy occupied too many Quartermaster resources.

"This is the credit of the Lord and the soldiers of the whole army. How can it be pushed to the last general?"

Qi Kuang showed a little shy smile. When the conversation changed, he said, "the waters in Zhangzhou are complex. In the early years, water bandits were rampant. Yang Jian took people to clean up a wave, but it stopped for a while. After that, the world was in chaos, and the water bandits only increased. Yang Tao's energy mainly focused on Nansheng. It is estimated that he can't devote all his troops to rectify Zhangzhou water bandits. At the end, he will have an idea. I don't know whether it is feasible or not."

Fu Wang said, "you might as well say it and let your military teachers help you see it in detail."

Qi Kuang said, "although the last general is from Zhangzhou and has dealt with water for generations, he is probably no better than those water bandits if he is familiar with them. If Yang Tao can't completely subdue them, our army might as well send some sailors to catch some and get the situation of clear water from them."

In some places, the water is deep and the current is fast. In some places, the water is shallow and easy to hit the reef.

Even though Qi Kuang grew up by the water, he did not dare to say that he knew every water area in Zhangzhou.

He has experience in water warfare. He fought hundreds of large and small water wars with Yang Jian, and he also summed up a set of experience in clearing the water bandits.

It shouldn't take much effort to send a navy to catch the water bandits.

Fuwang and others agreed to the proposal.

They have Kun map in their hands, but the drawing is very simple, and the water area is also a few thick lines. If they really want to fight Yang Tao, this map will not work. If you can find some water bandits who know their roots, they are not afraid to be confused about the water route.

Of course

It would be better if we could take all those water bandits and strongholds.

More than half a month before the war between the two armies, Yang Tao looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally Yan Lin came back.

"How about my arms war?"

Yan Lin just came back. He didn't even have time to change his clothes. He kept looking for Yang Tao to ask about the situation.

Before he went to zhongzhao, he prepared a spare "external brain" for Yang Tao, a counselor named "Qian Su".

Qian Su and Yan Lin are young classmates and friends. They share the same interests and have maintained contact over the years. At that time, Yan Lin assisted Yang Tao to seize power from the puppet emperor longevity king. If he had no money to secretly take over and use his family's strength to help him, he could not succeed.

During Yan Lin's absence, Qian Su assisted Yang Tao to keep the internal affairs in order, and the logistics preparation was also watertight.

"Ready." Qian Su said, "is Shaoyang going to test it?"

"How can Lin not trust you when you do things?" Yan Lin said, "what's your attitude towards this war?"

Qian Su said, "my Lord, you have a high intention of war, but... Those people at the bottom have other thoughts secretly."

The structure under Yang Tao's account is relatively complex. Some are the old people brought out of Zhangzhou, and some are recovered or taken refuge in Nansheng. Compared with the loyalty of the former, the latter is more like speculation. Seeing Jiang Pengji's powerful power, they sent more than 200000 elite to press the border at once. Before they started fighting, they were a little counselled and their war intention was low. Qian Su is worried here these days.

Yan Lin said, "I had expected."

Who cares whether Yang Tao wins or loses? They only care whether their interests rise or fall.

Qian Su said, "how does Shaoyang feel about this victory?"

Yan Lin did not avoid saying, "my military strategy is weak, but it is not easy for Liu Xi to win."

Yang Tao's troops were damaged too much in the Nansheng battlefield, and his supplies were consumed. Before she could breathe, Jiang Pengji sent troops to suppress the border. The situation was very unfavorable to him. However, Yan Lin did not think that these disadvantages doomed Yang Tao to lose.

Zhangzhou has a special terrain and its waters run through the whole territory. If you want to capture it, you have to fight by water.

Qian Su said, "yes, most of Liuxi's soldiers and horses are northerners and are not good at water."

Yan Lin smiled bitterly, and he said, "it's not necessarily."

"What's the answer?"

Yan Lin said, "I'm afraid you don't know. Liu Xi borrowed a centurion from the old lord under the pretext of Huangshui League. This Centurion is very humble, but Lin observed it for a long time and found that he has great talent. The time is right and he can be reused. Unexpectedly..."

Unexpectedly, he was borrowed and hasn't returned yet.

"No accident, Liu Xi has a navy in his hand. We can't be careless."
