The defenders of Caishiji have been easily eliminated by Li Chuyun. After inspecting the terrain, Guo Shao discussed with the officials of the shogunate and the generals, and believed that the floating bridge could be erected under the control of the river, so Wang Pu was ordered to mobilize artisans and civilians to do this.

A group of people once again inspected the Yangtze River on the spot and cruised on the surface of the Yangtze River in a warship.

Wang Pu looked up at the bow in a robe, and Guo Shao walked over from the deck and watched the scene on the river for a long time. The sails were little, the wheels of the waterwheel turned and rustled, and waves of white waves splashed on the surface of the river.

After a long time, Guo Shao said: "There are two 6 states in the heart of the river. The Yangtze River is the three waterways here, the westernmost one is the narrowest. When Wang Shijun supervised the construction of the pontoon bridge, he considered the convenience of dismantling the western one."

Wang Pu thought for a while and said, "General Guo, in order to make way for the navy ships?"

Guo Shao said: "Exactly. The quarrying ferry is occupied, and our army has a large floating bridge. Jinling cannot sit back and watch it anyway. The first threatening quarrying is the Nantang reinforcements from Jinling... Li Chuyun takes the navy The main force is placed on the north side of the river to build a water village there. He should have expected it.

However, the Southern Tang Army still has a large number of naval forces in Hukou, so be careful not to break through the defense lines of Wankou and Chizhou. At that time, Li Chuyun's navy should cross the pontoon bridge and meet the enemy from the south; only one pontoon bridge can be removed. "

Wang Pu agrees.

At this time, the warship arrived at the quarrying ferry on the east bank, and everyone watched on the river. Guo Shao wanted to go ashore to see Li Chuyun, so he separated from Wang Pu and disembarked from the quarry pier. Li Chuyun's Chinese army line is at the quarry pier.

At first, Guo Shao and others left Hezhou with the itinerary, only to patrol the river. It was Guo Shao's temporary decision to cross the river to meet Li Chuyun.

Guo Shao and Li Chuyun haven’t seen each other for a few months, but when Li Chuyun saw Guo Shao’s insatiable response, he asked directly: “I sent someone to report the urgent matter to the lord at an hour. Can the lord receive it?"

Guo Shao said: "No, it is estimated that the memorial report is still in Hezhou. What is important for General Li?"

"Let's go to the lobby and say."

The group of people entered the room, and Li Chuyun said: "It is a secret report. Jiangning Mansion has been mobilizing soldiers and horses frequently recently, and it is rumored that they will strengthen quarrying!"

Guo Shao's expression suddenly became serious. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "The quarrying is very important. You must not miss this battle."

Li Chuyun said: "The most likely target of the Southern Tang Army going south from Jiangning Mansion is the Quarry Ferry, followed by Dangtu City. If it is the Quarry Ferry, I plan to guard the quarry with the Gao Yanfeng and Longjie Army infantry. Suoxi River, facing the enemy head-on; Long Jie army cavalry ambushes Shipo Mountain to the southeast of the quarry. During the decisive battle on the Suoxi River battlefield, Shipo Mountain ambushes rushed out of the forest and quickly attacked the enemy's rear wing to shake it. Faction..."

"Maybe the goal is to be Tucheng?" Guo Shao pondered.

Li Chuyun put his palm on the bushy beard of his chin and said: "The Southern Tang Army attacked the quarry with obvious intentions. It wanted to regain the ferry and rebuild the river defense. This is the best way for Southern Tang to succeed.

But if the head of the Southern Tang Army thinks that the field is not an elite opponent of our army, there is a safer way: Reinforce Dangtucheng. The intention of this law is not to guard the river, but to guard Jiangning. "

Guo Shao suddenly said: "I understand."

Li Chuyun nodded and said: "As long as there are heavy soldiers in Tucheng, my army wants to go from quarrying to Jiangning Mansion. The ferry and the back are always under threat from Tucheng. We will be forced to attack the city instead of making a field battle. One win."

Guo Shao said: "The warship was transferred to the West Bank, and the three armies of the Tiger and Ben Army were quickly transferred to quarrying to deploy the quarrying battle."

Guo Shao stayed in Jiangdong. The early tactical deployment was that the Long Jie Army deployed its main force in the Suoxi River (quarry pier) to wait for work; the First Army Cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army and the Second and Third Army Mounted Infantry Deployed in Shipo Mountain in the southeast; Jiannan Army under Gao Yanjian camped in Dahuang Mountain, twenty miles southeast.

If the Southern Tang Army circumvents Dangtu city in depth from the east, Gao Yanjian will move eastward to block, and the main Zhou army near the quarry will then reinforce Gao Yanya.

……

Here, Guo Shao is anxious to mobilize the Tiger and Ben Army across the river, but he still overestimates the response of the Southern Tang Army. Ten days later, Huangfu Jixun came out of Jiangning Mansion, Lin Renzhao pioneered, and Huangfu Jixun's main force followed by more than 40,000 people. "

Lin Renzhao sent a large number of scouts to the south to inquire about the military situation, and the Gao Yanquan Department camped twenty miles southeast of the quarry. Two days later, Lin Renzhao's striker drove more than ten thousand steps to a stop in Suoxi Hebei twenty miles.

He rode back to the main army in person, and said that the main general Huangfu Jixun: "It is not suitable to take quarrying in this battle. Let's go to Dangtu first."

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun had an unbelievable look, and said unceremoniously: "You have a brain disease? When Tu has become a solitary city, Zhou Jun is crossing the river from the quarry. Let's not get back the quarry ferry, and we ran away with great pains. When should Tu drink northwest wind?"

Lin Renzhao heard that very unpleasant tone, and suppressed his anger: "Our soldiers can still fight on the water, and there is also a way to defend the city. You will lose in a field battle on foot! Today I go to quarry. The Zhou army fell short. It is better to retreat and reinforce Dangtu. Although this city is an isolated city, it is fortunate that it has strong fortifications and sufficient food and grass. Our army can be stationed for a long time."

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said, "There is a bird in the dead land stationed at Dangtu! Now Dangtu city is also in our hands, has it blocked Zhou Jun? You go to the river and stare, Zhou Jun still swaggers Cross the river from quarrying!"

Lin Renzhao said: "When Tucheng cannot threaten the Zhou army, it is because the troops are empty and they dare not go out of the city. Our 60,000 troops are stationed, and the situation is completely different. As long as the main force of the Zhou army dares to attack the capital north, our department will be fine. Since Dangtu attacked, regained the ferry and cut off the Zhou army’s back."

Huangfu Jixun shook his head and said: "When you were in Jiangning, you were the one who was eager to fight, and the army was dispatched, and you were the one who wanted to hide in Tibet."

Lin Renzhao was furious: "Who is he or his mother who is willing to win the fight, what is the use of dying if he can't win?"

Huangfu Jixun sneered and said: "In that case, you just go down."

Lin Renzhao said: "You are willing to die, you go! I'm going to be smeared! Whatever you want to say, your majesty has something to say first, I can ignore you and just obey the court."

Lin Renzhao returned to the barracks with a sigh of anger, and yelled at the general Huangfu Jixun in front of the soldiers.

At this time, he saw the scout from Dangtucheng again and learned the detailed process of the field battle at the bank of Guxi, and he was furious. Regardless of the bad influence, he cursed in public: "Yang Shou is purely a straw bag! How did these people become the generals of Southern Tang? The imperial court will not employ people!"

The generals were busy persuading him. Many of the colleagues above were at odds with Lin Renzhao, but the lower-level soldiers quickly called him brothers, because Lin Renzhao always shared the joys and sorrows with everyone, not to mention the deduction of military pay and silver, and he was very fair in doing things. The soldiers naturally liked him.

Lin Renzhao caught fire, and finally did not have the impulse, first stood still and waited for Huangfu Jixun's army to arrive.

It was reported that there was a Zhou army in the south of Dahuangshan, a native of Shu. During the Battle of Huainan, Lin Renzhao had some insights about the combat effectiveness of the descendants of the Shu Kingdom, and he didn't take it seriously... If Huangfu Jixun agreed to go to Dangtu together, as long as a single force dragged the people of Shu, the main force of the Southern Tang army would be able to successfully follow Go east to Dangtu.

But now that Lin Renzhao can't make a move, this group of Shu people may drag Lin Renzhao, and then attract the quarrying Zhou army to besiege.

So Lin Renzhao waited for the main force of the Southern Tang Army. When the main force went to quarry and fight with the Zhou army, Lin Renzhao went south to defeat the people of Shu, so that he would not be besieged.

Lin Renzhao stood still, and Huangfu Jixun's servant was also unable to stand still. Tens of thousands of troops spent three or four days in the field without doing anything.

Lin Renzhao didn't understand what Huangfu Jixun meant. At this time, the official document from the court came and asked Lin Renzhao as a forward why he didn't move!

Now he finally understands that Huangfu Jixun’s servant has gone to file a complaint these days! Of course, Lin Renzhao was unwilling to go quarrying and attacking Zhou's elite. So he wrote to justify the benefits of going to Tucheng by himself; after Lin Renzhao's army increased his troops to become Tucheng, the strength of the city could reach more than 20,000, which would pose a great threat to the quarry ferry and Zhou Jun's stomach and back in the future.

Soon, Li Yu came to the imperial decree, decree that if Lin Renzhao wants to reinforce Dangtu, he should leave as soon as possible without delay.

After some wrangling, Lin Renzhao reluctantly took the lead in going around the east depth first, and then went south to Dangtucheng. It was agreed that Huangfu Jixun would attack the quarry as soon as possible to avoid the main force of the Zhou army from drawing hands.

One day later, Lin Renzhao got a report, and the Shu army in Dahuangshan sent out eastward and blocked the front. Lin Renzhao sent people to Huangfu Jixun Camp to confirm the situation overnight. He learned that Huangfu Jixun's Ministry had already dispatched and arrived near Suoxi River; although they had not yet clashed with Zhou Junsheng, they were very close, and the two sides were already at war.

Lin Renzhao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the elites of the quarrying Zhou army are dragged down, won't the people of Shu be defeated by the touch?

Lin Renzhao then ordered the war to start the next morning and line up to attack Gao Yanqi!

……

In the evening, the main force of the Southern Tang Army was already several miles away from Suoxi River. It is reported that the Southern Tang Army Camp occupies a large area, with about 50,000 people!

Li Yu has indeed paid a lot of money this time. The problem that Guo Shao faces now is that there are only more than 10,000 people in the Long Jiejun right side of the quarry wharf camp (some of them are still in the hands of Luo Yanhuan in Chizhou).

The frontal force disparity is a bit big! The combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang Forbidden Army may not be as good as Zhou's elite, but it has several times the number of advantages. Both Guo Shao and Li Chuyun feel that the risk is greater.

Then there is a reserve force, the three armies of the Tiger Ben Army in Shipo Mountain near the quarry battlefield, and there are nearly 10,000 people... This mobile force is used to support the front of the quarry battlefield?

"If the Tigers and Cardinals go north to respond, then the men and horses east of the Southern Tang Army will be painted. This time it is the elites of the Southern Tang Army. Gao Yanliang may not be able to stop it." Li Chuyun said.

Guo Shao said nothing, bowed his head in thought.

Li Chuyun said again: "The enemy soldiers in Qudangtu are on the defensive. The tens of thousands of troops here are indeed on the offensive, and quarrying is even more important. General Guo is cautious. It is better to transfer the tiger to the north and stabilize the quarrying. Let’s talk about the situation?"
