In this way, Wu Zheng could implement the second plan, that is, Wu Zheng once praised Chen Sheng and left an army in Tianchang.

Taking Tianchang as a stronghold, it eroded Sizhou and formed a two-sided encirclement of Ajige's army.

In addition, Liao Zhongping's Zuoying and Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Guards, four armies were enough to partially surround Ajige and then cut them into food.

But the most important point is that the Guangxinwei, who was weak at the beginning, must have a reason to go north with a "righteous" reason. Otherwise, how could Ajige allow Li Guo to occupy the small town of Dingyuan?

There was only one way for the Qing court to reduce hostility, that is, Guangxinwei rebelled and entered Fengyang Mansion with a rebel army that did not belong to any force. Ajige naturally wanted to incorporate it rather than annihilate it.

In this way, Guangxinwei can use Dingyuan as a springboard to launch a strong attack on Fengyang City without having to set off from thousands of miles away.

Whoever seizes the suddenness of the war is equal to half of success.

There is another saying: first move is the best, then move is the worst.

When the two armies confront each other, if they recruit troops, declare war, and make great contributions, the other party can still do the same.

This caused the war to last and the sudden increase in casualties.

And with the current financial resources of the General's Mansion, it cannot afford this.

Only by quickly deciding one way, a large victory of sufficient scale, can the people and merchants rebuild their confidence in the general's mansion, which is exhausted.

But what Wu Zheng did not expect was that Dorbo suddenly attacked Haizhou.

This difference almost caused all Wu Zheng's layout to go bankrupt, because once the army attacking Haizhou went south with the momentum, Huai'an and Yangzhou would fall.

The Northern Expedition Army, which had already transferred its main force to the Yangtze River, could not gather at least 50,000 military operations in a short time.

Then, Wu Zheng had no choice but to give up all his layout and fight a new Jiangbei battle...the fourth Jiangbei battle was the fourth Jiangbei battle.

Fortunately, although Jiang Quanyi was defeated, his troops' heroic and tenacious resistance also shocked Jixiha and Lan Bai. In addition, Qian Qiaogong defeated Jixiha and Lan Bai in the south of Haizhou City without any trace, and almost captured the two. This made Jixiha and Lan Bai no longer have the courage to go south, but decided to save the fruits of victory and no longer be greedy for too much to chew.

Of course, Shen Zhiyuan brought the new army back to Ziyang, which is also an indispensable reason.

When the news came, Wu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The original layout does not need to be discarded, it only needs to be slightly modified.

This is why Wu Zheng sent Chi Erhan to increase his troops to Tianchang after sending Shi Kun.

There was also the order that Wu Zheng severely urged Li Guo, Liu Tiren disobeyed on the battlefield and ordered Guangxinwei to immediately attack Fengyang City.

The Lu Region had enough time to go north to meet with Qian Qiaogong. The remaining troops of Wusongwei entered Yuntiguan, and the troops stationed in Tongzhou moved towards Yancheng. The 30,000 main forces of the First Army, under the day and night transport of the railway, had arrived at Wusongkou and were crossing the river.

Wu Zheng’s changes to the layout were very slight.

I originally thought that Tianchang was just an inconspicuous small county and could not attract all the attention except myself.

But the current situation shows that the attack from Tianchang has lost its original suddenness.

Since you can no longer win by surprise, you can get the right fit.

Using Dingyuan Guangxinwei as bait, Chi Erhan and Shi Kun's troops attacked Sizhou in the direction of Tianchang. Ajige must be in a hurry when attacking on both sides.

The change Wu Zheng made was - Haizhou.

It is said that the more obvious the place is, the more ignored it will be.

Haizhou was captured, Huai'an and Yangzhou's Northern Expedition Army were short of troops, while Wu Zheng was clearly facing the sky and Dingyuan increased his troops. The main force of the Northern Expedition Army is still in Wusong and crossing the river in the direction of Jingjiang. Liao Zhongping and Xia Wanchun's abnormal movements are also Fengyang Prefecture.

As a result, the situation became very clear - the main combat direction of the Northern Expedition Army was still against Fengyang Prefecture, which made sense from both theory and situation. Once Fengyang Prefecture fell, Luzhou and Anqing were at your fingertips.

Hong Chengchou thought so, Fan Wencheng thought so, Jiergalang could not escape such judgment, and naturally, Fulinwaer was also infected, so he issued an order to take Prince An Yue Le as the commander, lead three thousand flag soldiers and ten thousand Han troops to Haizhou to reinforce, but the main force moved towards Henan and ordered Wu Sangui and other troops to move eastward to the northwest. At the same time, the Qing court sent people to Yanzhou to negotiate with Dorbo, preparing to confront the Northern Expedition Army in Fengyang Prefecture, and fight a head-on decisive battle to determine the dominance of China!

This is not an exaggeration. With the financial resources of both sides at this time, if they really fight in Fengyang Prefecture, it will determine the ruler of China.

But no matter which side wins in the end, their strength will be greatly lost, and it is very likely that they can only lie down and breathe for ten years.

The Qing court was unwilling to fight. It only wanted to limit the unrestrained growth of the Northern Expedition Army. But Wu Zheng realized that this kind of constraint was a very bad start. The general's government's finances were hit by the Qing court and pointed out the key points.

Once a large number of employees are unemployed and a large number of workshops go bankrupt, the prosperous and prosperous appearance under the rule of the General's Mansion will be torn off, leaving behind an ugly nature full of holes.

Finance never produces substantial wealth, its essence is to accelerate circulation.

Wu Zheng achieved that in a very short period of time, the wealth deposited by Jiangnan flowed rapidly at a rocket-like speed, and also added leverage, which made the Jiangnan economy develop thousands of miles a day and create an enviable prosperity.

But as long as the Qing court strictly enforces the ban, as long as the employer begins to lose his job and the workshop begins to collapse, everything will be turned into zero, the shareholders of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce begin to withdraw their investment, the circulation of high-speed currency has stopped abruptly, all industries have withered, and a huge financial crisis will surely break out. This is not something that the General's Mansion can withstand. Even if the founding of the new dynasty and the Yongli dynasty can't withstand, the financial hole in Jiangnan is too big, and it can destroy the entire world, including the Qing court in the north.

The Qing court did not expect that, but Wu Zheng knew it well, but he could not speak, because once he spoke, the consequences were even more unbearable.

After being forced to this point, Wu Zheng had to do his best to deal with it. This is the essence of launching this war.

But the decline of Haizhou City and the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army also aroused Wu Zheng's competitive spirit. If you can give up, I can make a desperate bet. Who is afraid of whom?

....

Liu Tiren did indeed make a good deal to deal with the enemy cavalry coming to help in Fengyang City.

With the arrival of the subsequent troops, they quickly bypassed the Yingwu Guard's garrison and built a horse-resisting fence and dug trenches to the north.

From ancient times to the present, everything that is practical has been continued. The trench of the horse-received fence has miraculous effect on cavalry, which can not only stop the cavalry, but also kill cavalry. Whether it is the old crossbow or the current musket, it is equivalent to being invincible through the trench of the horse-received fence. Of course, the premise is that there is enough troops, arrows, and ammunition.

But Liu Tiren couldn't think of a proper way for the Qing army in the Yingwu Guard.
