This is a fact that the rebel army has poor strength. Although the number of people has reached more than 50,000 after the rapid expansion, only two or three thousand people have truly combat effectiveness. The others can be said to be a group of mobs, lacking combat skills and experience, as well as weapons and equipment, and vulnerable. Li Fengyun's human sea tactics actually give full play to the advantages of the large number of rebel soldiers to the greatest extent, and play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

Although the official army has strong combat effectiveness, but the number of people is limited, these limited armies not only need to guard large and small towns, but also guard the Tongji Canal waterway that lasts hundreds of miles long, but also ensure the safety of the capital. In this way, they will inevitably be short of their ability to use their troops and lose sight of the other.

Li Fengyun's 100-regiment battle was based on his own strengths and his weaknesses in attacking the enemy. Just imagine, when more than 200 regiments of rebel soldiers, as well as hundreds of thousands or even millions of Henan victims who followed the rebels, were fully launched on the Tongji Canal line centered on Junyi, Chenliu and Yongqiu. What should the official army do? The official army must be as big as a fight. If he takes the initiative to attack, he must find the main force of the rebel army to fight, but the rebel army must avoid fighting, and the official army cannot find an opponent.

If you have no place to use your strength, you can neither kill the unarmed victims, nor always look for opponents outside the city, ignore the safety of the city and the safety of the waterway. So you have to defend passively. Passive defense is equivalent to allowing the rebels to plunder Tongji Canal, which is inaction and the blame is greater. The official army is in a dilemma, and in the end they can only play the game of "cat and mouse" with the rebels. As for whether they can win the final victory, it depends on whether Dongdu sends troops to support them.

So, will Dongdu send troops to support? The answer is yes. Li Fengyun has analyzed it from a political perspective. King Yang Nan of Qi must take action to suppress the rebellion. The next question is, when will Dongdu send troops? The mystery is great. The timing of Dongdu sending troops is not only related to the vital interests of King Yang Nan of Qi, but also closely linked to the development and growth of the Rebel Alliance.

"Dongdu will not send troops for the time being." Li Fengyun's tone was very certain, "We have enough time to plunder Tongji Canal and strengthen ourselves."

"Why is Ming Gong so sure?" Huo Xiaohan asked immediately.

"The King of Qi Yang Nan needs a record, and the stronger the opponent and the worse the situation, the greater the record he has." Li Fengyun explained, "Secondly, if the political opponents of King of Qi Yang Nan want to use this opportunity to completely destroy him, we must give us a longer time. When we develop, grow stronger, and have stronger strength, they can use our sharp knife to kill King of Qi Yang Nan."

"From the battlefield of Tongji Canal, we have only two main opponents, Xingyang and Liang County. Jiyin has fallen, and Dong County is not only affected by continuous disasters and severe damage to its vitality, but also takes into account the safety of the Dahe River waterway. The threat to us is very limited. Xingyang has the advantage of defense of Tianqian Pass, and it is difficult for us to break through Tianqian Pass, so the Tongji Canal Waterway in its territory is very safe. Since the Tongji Canal Waterway is safe, then Xingyang will certainly have to guard the gateway of the Jingji Canal with limited troops to ensure the safety of the Jingji Canal. Outside the defense of Liang County, if the situation in Liang County deteriorates and the Tongji Canal Waterway is interrupted, it will inevitably threaten the safety of the Jingji Canal. By then, not only Xingyang will send troops to support, but Dongdu will have to send troops. Therefore, as long as we plunder the Tongji Canal and ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal, we will definitely have only one opponent in the short term."

"Although Liang County has four Yingyang Mansions, the Tongji Canal waterway guarded is more than 500 miles long, and we only attack the northern section. It is not difficult to speculate that Liang County cannot transfer all the troops of the four Yingyang Mansions to the north to deal with us. At most, three Yingyang Mansions, namely Chenliu, Xiangyi and Songcheng Yingyang Mansions. These three Yingyang Mansions have twelve regiments of 2,400 guards, and the waterway guarded is 400 miles long. There are seven cities on both sides of the 400 miles of waterway, including the capital Songcheng. Under normal circumstances, this force is definitely more than enough, but today their opponents not only have more than 200 regiments of our alliance soldiers, but also hundreds of thousands or even millions of Henan victims. Their troops are seriously insufficient." Li Fengyun said this and waved his arm, "To be honest, more than one million of us spit a mouthful of spit, and they can drown them alive."

Everyone laughed and was full of confidence in the next battle between Tongji Canal. If the situation develops as Li Fengyun predicts, then in the short term, the alliance will only have three Yingyang Mansions in Liangjun. Now the alliance has more than 200 troops, and the number of Henan victims who spare no effort to help the alliance has an absolute advantage in number.

Everyone gathered in front of the map, offered suggestions, spoke freely, and tried their best to fully exert the alliance's advantage in numbers with various tactics, so as to truly seek profit and avoid harm, play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and strive to strengthen themselves in the shortest time. As long as you have the strength, everything is possible.

The next day, Zhen Baoche led the front-selling army to cross the Ji River first, headed south into Liangjun, and directly killed Tongjiqu.

Then Li Fengyun led seven troops to about 5,000 soldiers to cross the river and enter Liangjun, and advance towards Chenliu and Yongqiu.

Yuan An and Xiao Yi commanded the guards, craftsmen and civilians to fight day and night, and built more than a dozen temporary floating bridges on the Jishui River to help Henan victims cross the river south.

While the Henan victims rushed to Tongji Canal like a flood, six heroic commanders, including Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong, and six other heroes, led their troops from Waihuang and Kaocheng to Liangjun, and quickly advanced towards Yongqiu, Xiangyi and Ningling, reaching Songcheng, the capital of Liangjun.

The situation in Liang County took a sharp turn, and the safety of Tongji Canal was in danger. Junyi City, a major defense center for Tianqian Pass in the capital, entered a state of war. Fei Yao, the general of Wu Benlang of the Right Guard, brought two regiments of Yingyang Guards, to quickly reinforce from Heishi Pass and to personally go to the front line to command.

It was already dusk when the boat that Fei Yao was riding arrived at Junyi, and the dark twilight shrouded over this thousand-year-old ancient city, giving people a sense of infinite desolation.

Cui Baode, the highest commander of the eastern defense zone of Jingji Pass, and the commander of Xingyang, rushed to the dock outside the city to greet Fei Yao.

The military post of Xingyang Duwei is a product of the deepening of centralized reform today.

After ascending the throne, the pace of centralization was accelerated and administrative division reform was first carried out. During the late emperor, the administrative system at the prefecture and county level was relatively large. The prefecture was relatively powerful and the governor was also in charge of the military and political power of a prefecture. Now, the prefecture was changed to the two-level administrative system at the prefecture, and the county level was divided into several counties. The prefecture had only administrative power and no military power. The purpose of this reform was to further weaken the power of local officials. The central government not only took back some of the administrative powers they had, but also directly deprived them of military power.

The military power of the governor of this dynasty has its historical origins.

The army in Zhongtu has always been composed of the Central Army and local army. During the unified period, the Central Army was strong. When the era of division and war, the local army was strong, warlords were separatist, and heroes fought. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Tai established the system of the government and the military army of the Guardian Army as the Central Army, it grew rapidly in the war between the Central Army. After unification, this system matured. In addition to further improving the system of the government and strengthening the strength of the Guardian Army, the military system reform of the military system of the late emperor was also an important purpose to implement demilitarization in Shandong, especially in the north and south of Henan, so as to maximize the

To curb the threats of Shandong people to emerging dynasties. However, the area of ​​Middle Earth is too large, there are too many strategic areas, and the northern barbarians in the northwest are too strong. In addition, the system of political, economic and military has been completely adjusted. There are too many things to do, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. You can only take it slowly. The Central Guard Army alone cannot protect Middle Earth. Therefore, a general administration will be established, and the general administration will control the military and political power of a region, or the state governor will control the military and political power of a state, and use a large number of local troops to supplement the military and political power of Middle Earth.

Before ascending the throne, there were 36 general administrations in Central China, mainly concentrated in the border areas in the northwest, and there were more provincial governors who held military power. After ascending the throne, the military system was immediately reformed, and the general administration was first abolished, and all the troops originally affiliated with the general administration were assigned to the Twelve Guards, unified under the central command. The most basic military unit in the country was Yingyang Mansion. Secondly, the reform of the administrative system was used to directly deprive the governor of the military power.

At this time, a problem arose. The whole country's army belongs to the Twelve Guards and has become the Central Army. The power of the Twelve Guards is too great. In addition, the Central Plains are too large and the message is inconvenient. It is impossible to directly command the Guards' army thousands or even thousands of miles away. Military power does need to be concentrated, but unlimited concentration will definitely lead to major disadvantages. So the Central Committee came up with another plan, that is, to set up the Duwei Mansion in strategic areas, and the military power originally led by the General Administration Office to the Duwei Mansion, and to hand over the military power originally controlled by the state governor to the highest commander of the Duwei Mansion. The highest commander of the Duwei Mansion directly obeys the central government and the emperor. In this way, the problem of inconvenience of command is solved, and the military power of the Guards is divided, which can be said to be a killing of multiple goals.

Xingyang is a strategic location. Xingyang Duwei Mansion commands the four Yingyang Mansions in Xingyang. Xingyang Duwei can directly command them, but these four Yingyang Mansions are affiliated with the Wei Mansion, and the Wei Mansion can also command them. This forms a dual leadership, and conflicts are certainly inevitable. However, the generals, generals, generals, Wu Benlang, and Wu Yalang of the Twelve Guards do not rule the army at ordinary times. Only in wartime, according to the emperor's authorization, can they be qualified to lead the army to fight or be ordered to guard the border, so under normal circumstances, there is no conflict in power between the Wei Mansion and the Duwei Mansion.
