Chapter 2569 Guizi scroll default, unexpected
Ren Qiu broke the city, and the pressure on the entire Hejian Mansion suddenly decreased. It also opened a gap for the Bailian rebel forces in the entire circle around Baiyangdian and Wuguandian.
For Feng Ziying, such a good start is something to be happy about, and the recovery of Renqiu City means that the strategy for Anzhou-Xiong County can begin.
“Is there any news about Zhou Yin’s whereabouts? What does the Ministry of Punishment say?”
"There is no news. The informants in the Ministry of Punishment don't know enough about Zhou Yin. Especially after Zhao Gongquan was killed, Zhou Yin's whereabouts became even more secretive. If he appeared in public, he must be in the military..." Wang Wenyan introduced: " The Punishment Department also has informants in the White Lotus Sect, but they are not high-level and cannot get close to Zhou Yin. It would be difficult to assassinate him..."
"I didn't expect to be able to defeat a force like Zhou Yin through assassination, but Renqiu was captured unexpectedly by us, which still shocked the rebels. I estimate that if we attack Wang Haoyi's tribe in Anzhou, Zhou Yin will not be able to stabilize. We even had to persuade Mi Heng to come to our aid."
Feng Ziying never believed that all problems could be solved by assassination. Of course, it would be best to solve the problem at the minimum cost, but he never held out much hope.
The shooting of Zhao Gongquan led to civil unrest. This plan was only implemented after thorough research and evaluation, and it was deemed feasible. However, the effect was indeed good.
But if you think that this can be a win-win situation, or even think that it will become a reliance, then you will definitely fail. Feng Ziying never dared to think like this.
“What about the main force in Zhuozhou…” Wang Wenyan asked.
The main force of the Beijing camp is still mainly on the Zhuozhou front line. It is not that they are slow to move, but they are worried about alerting the enemy. The sudden movement of tens of thousands of troops southward will definitely attract the attention of the rebel army.
The rebel army has no other abilities, but it has a lot of detailed scouts in various places in Beizhi. This aspect is the strength of the rebel army.
"It's no longer possible to hide it now. I guess everyone in Henan knows that the Beijing camp has gone south and left the capital. In the future, it should be a normal move to bring the Beijing camp out to fight. Otherwise, they will all have to be crippled. I haven't seen Ma Cheng." When Xun came out, he was very proud, and I told him that if he had nothing to do, he could go to Liaodong and fight a dozen Jianzhou Jurchens, and he was eager to give it a try."
Feng Ziying found that fighting is the best way to bring the two parties closer and enhance their friendship, especially if they can win a perfect battle, the effect will be even better.
"Then let the main force of the Beijing camp go south, first to Ansu and Qingyuan, and then determine how to attack Anzhou according to the situation." Wang Wenyan paused, "The staff has already started making plans. Their idea is to Anzhou surrounded and refused to fight, prompting the Xiongxian rebels to come to the rescue and ambush the Xiongxian rebels at the Yishui line..."
"These guys are still too young. How can they ambush a battle involving tens of thousands of people? Zhou Yin is also from the military, how can he not understand the tactics of encircling a point and calling for reinforcements? It's just that we must save him if we attack him, so he can't Not coming."
Feng Ziying’s lips curled up into a smile, becoming more and more proud of her strategy.
"After all, he is Wang Sen's son. Young Master, Zhou Yin has always respected him. If Wang Haoyi is in danger and he doesn't come, his image will collapse. We can also make a fuss in public opinion, and we can even say that he is If he wants to usurp the leadership of the rebel army in the east and deliberately betrays Wang Haoyi, then Mi Heng's mentality will probably change. In a word, it doesn't matter whether he comes or not, it is beneficial to us all..."
Wang Wenyan was well aware of how powerful Dong Weng was in creating public opinion. Needless to say, in the capital city, in addition to "Today's News" and "Internal Reference", Qingtan Academy's "Yuedan Commentary" was basically controlled by Dong Weng , and Ni Er's gang is densely populated in the city, so as long as Dong Weng wants to speak out, there will naturally be various channels to come out, so that you can't tell the truth from the lies.
For example, here in Hebei, there are informants from the Ministry of Justice, internal gentry agents, and government spies. Naturally, they can use this method to incite. If Zhou Yin really doesn't save the king, then he will wait for the internal strife among his own people. This just gives the eager Jingying camp an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.
It would be better if he comes to rescue him, and then goes out to the encirclement point to provide reinforcements and make dumplings for Zhou Yin's rebel army.
"So it's settled?" Now that it's settled, it's time to start planning the battle from all aspects.
Wang Wenyan shouldered a very heavy task. These advisers and staff were all instructed by Feng Ziying. He selected them one by one. Most of them were down-and-out scholars or military scholars. In short, they were not mainstream scholars or warriors.
"Well, let's do it according to this opinion." Feng Ziying felt that the way he was now the commander-in-chief was very cool. He proposed the general direction, and the specific plan was made by the staff. After a rough plan was drawn up, the generals were called together to discuss it. Make improvements and corrections, and basically a more mature tactical plan will come out.
Once the plan is finalized, it is a matter of execution. The generals must implement it to the letter, and Feng Ziying will also prepare a reserve team just in case.
In Feng Ziying’s view, this is a reasonable combat model. For him, it is particularly important to slowly promote this model. This also marks the evolution of combat from ancient traditional methods to modern scientific methods.
In this combat mode, the staff is the core, and everything, including intelligence, logistics, and training, needs to revolve around the staff, and the general's on-the-spot decision-making and execution are more important.
Feng Ziying has already considered how to instill this concept into military academies.
In the past, when Yuan Yingtai was in power, the armies were arguing with each other and intelligence information was leaked everywhere. Before the army set off, the rebel army got the news and could respond in a targeted manner.
But now the situation is different. All aspects of intelligence can still be obtained, but the true and false are mixed together, and there are many contradictions, making it difficult for several rebel armies to judge the authenticity.
Especially some of the information, just based on the details, it is really what it is. If you put it into perspective, it almost feels like it will happen soon. But only when you get close, you will know that you have been fooled again.
In the battle of Renqiu, there were only two days between the sniper killing of Zhao Gongquan and the rapid launch of the offensive by the army. Even before Zhao Gongquan's body had time to be buried, the army and the army were already approaching, and both sides were still fighting among themselves. No end, encountering such an attack, you can imagine what the result will be.
But this time, several lines of official troops began to lay a heavy siege near Anzhou, and the crisis was approaching.
Although it is not an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers, even the rebel army admits that for the same army, the combat effectiveness of the official army is at least twice that of the rebel army. Perhaps Zhou Yin's own army is slightly better.
As the army began to increase in number at Gaoyang and Qingyuan, Wang Haoyi panicked.
He didn't know why the situation suddenly changed like this.
Ren Qiu cut off one of his arms in a battle. Originally they were horns and could reinforce each other, but who would have thought that as soon as Zhao Gongquan died, they would have civil strife and they would not be able to interfere.
As a result, the army took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the party immediately disappeared, which made Wang Haoyi find it unbelievable, but he had to face it.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Haoyi as an ant on a hot pot. The key is that he is now helpless and cannot find a countermeasure.
Obviously the officers and soldiers were coming for him. Who knew that he was Wang Sen's son?
Relying on how proud of the name of the young master, how much risks and pressures need to be afforded now.
The letters asking for help to Zhou Yin and Mi Heng had been sent out a long time ago. Wang Haoyi was somewhat confident that Zhou Yin would come to reinforce him, but Wang Haoyi was unsure about Mi Heng.
Fortunately, Wang Haoyi also knew that Zhou Yin's rebel army was more powerful than his own and Mi Heng's troops, and Zhou Yin had always been loyal and brave. As long as he came, Wang Haoyi would feel more at ease.
The question is, in the face of the increasingly dense army, can Zhou Yin's reinforcements guarantee that Anzhou will always be defended?
Wang Haoyi had doubts about his future for the first time.
Before the Battle of Renqiu, he was quite sure, especially as the rebel army in the central part was still in full swing. His brother was developing very well in Zhending, almost sweeping the entire Zhending Prefecture. It was said that the imperial court intended to abandon Zhending County and completely Give up Zhending Mansion, return to Baoding first, and then save Baoding.
Even before his father went to Guangping Mansion, he had been praising his brother's commanding ability, and he seemed to want to entrust the throne to his brother. This made Wang Haoyi frustrated and particularly unconvinced.
Are the Eastern Rebels just bad?
Bazhou, Baoding (county), Wen'an, Renqiu, Anzhou, and Xiongxian are all in our hands. Gaoyang, Dacheng and even Qingxian are only one step away from being captured.
In fact, what Wang Haoyi hopes most is to capture Qing County, which can cut off the water transportation and shock the capital. By then, the whole situation will be different, and his father will definitely take a high look at the eastern righteous army again.
What is hateful is that Mi Heng is satisfied with the status quo and does not want to make progress. He is content with the three-thirds of an acre of land he currently has.
I have repeatedly asked it to expand eastward and push the forces of the Righteous Master into the territory of Hejian Mansion, where the foundation of the White Lotus Holy Sect is still there. Achieve great things.
But Mi Heng was short-sighted and was deeply afraid that his status would be diluted by the righteous soldiers on the other side of Hejian, so he kept looking for various excuses to shirk, and ultimately lost his chance of fighting.
Mibei couldn't control her nephew at all. Now he has become a real puppet Bodhisattva. The people who went there talked with her for a long time, but it had no effect at all. They just blamed Mi Heng.
Wang Haoyi was at a loss for a while. He didn't know whether he should continue to wait until Zhou Yin's army came to help, or should he retreat to Xiong County first?
