The bad news came, and Zhu Feng seemed to have been beaten twice, with a dazed look on his face.

Xu Huai glanced at him and said, "In such a chaotic situation, it is extremely dangerous to send troops to serve the king. There are still too many things to prepare. You can go to the inn to rest first. If you have anything to do, wait until Kong Changyu arrives in Nancai tomorrow."

"Will Kong Changyu go to Nancai in person? Or should I go to Jiangxia now? I should go to Jiangxia before dawn to meet Kong Envoy." Dong Cheng asked.

Kong Changyu was the appeasement envoy of the Jinghu North Road system, and was on the same level as Xu Huai on the surface.

Dong Cheng was worried that Kong Changyu would not be willing to cross the river to Nancai in person to discuss the matter of serving the king. At that time, Kong Changyu would send an official here casually.

There are too many issues between Jingxiang and Jingbei, and too many differences need to be unified. Xu Huai does not meet Kong Changyu directly, just like relying on contact and consultation by officials below. Some serious differences need to be carried out by asking for instructions. I don’t know how much time will be wasted on the nearly 100-mile waterway between Jiangxia and Nancai.

The road between Jiangxia and Nancai is not long, but it takes less than a day to travel back and forth.

And what is missing at this time is time.

Dong Chengru thought that he had worked hard to go there, and went to Jiangxia to lobby Kong Changyu to come to Nancai in person to discuss the plan to serve the king, so as not to delay the opportunity.

"No need to work so hard. Kong Changyu doesn't want to come to Nancai to see me tomorrow. Then I will go to Jiangxia to see him," said Xu Huai. "A part of our troops need to go by land. Then we will go directly from Jiangxia east!"

It is the most convenient to go to Jianye by water from Nancai. It is one thousand and two hundred miles. If you don’t encounter bad weather and travel day and night, it may take only two days and two nights to complete. This is also the so-called "Digo by the White Emperor in the morning among the colorful clouds, and return thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day."

However, the Jianye Navy was defeated in three days, and it was a bit tragic. At present, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are controlled by the Navy Navy. It is not clear how much the Navy Navy's penetration into the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The power of the Jingzhou Navy is still limited, so there is no way to ensure safety in the waterway.

What is more appropriate is that some soldiers and horses ventured to advance east along the river through water, some soldiers and horses crossed the river from Nancai County directly to the south, and went east from Jiangxia on the post road. The two were initially scheduled to converge within Jiangxi Xunyang County, Jiangzhou, instead of the earliest expected Tongling County, Chizhou.

Zhang Xiongshan, Han Gui and others firmly dissuaded Xu Huai from taking the risk of taking the battle with the navy, who had absolute advantages in all aspects, on the Yangtze River, and Xu Huai had to cross the river and advance eastward by land.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Kong Changyu comes to Nancai tomorrow. The reason why Xu Huai sent someone to invite Kong Changyu over was actually to test Kong Changyu's attitude, or to deliberately show a stronger attitude here.

Dong Cheng expressed his understanding and was about to pull Zhu Tong to accompany Zhu Xiong to the inn to rest first. At this time, a military official came over, came to Zhang Xiongshan and whispered a few words, handed a letter to Zhang Xiongshan and turned around and left.

Zhang Xiongshan opened the seal letter and took out a stack of excerpts with small characters written in fly heads. He quickly glanced at them, handed them to Xu Huai, and said:

"The specific situation of the navy's defense on the first three days of the first three days of the attack on Jianye has been almost clear."

Seeing Xu Wujiang who had just arrived in Nancai, Dong Cheng and Zhu Feng were a little confused. After Shi Xun, Wang Mingqi, who took over as the magistrate of Nancai, explained to them:

"Yesterday I heard that some warships from the Jianye Navy fled to the vicinity of Qizhou. The envoy specially sent someone to come over to understand the navy's acquisition of the enemy and the defeat, and to provide a reference for the next dispatch of troops. Now the person who rushed to Qizhou to learn about the situation has returned."

Xu Huai walked back to the long case and sat down, moved the lamp to his eyes, carefully read the detailed records of the Jianye Navy's engagement and defeat, and put the records back into the seal letter with a serious expression, handed them to Zhang Xiongshan, and said, "Let the Military Information Department and the Jingzhou Navy summarize the combat characteristics of the naval forces here, seal the others, and don't spread them for the time being."

Xu Wujiang came to Nancai from Jingzhou and could share most of the military affairs. After Xu Huai handed over the seal letter to Zhang Xiongshan, he went straight back to the back house to rest, and temporarily handed over many affairs in the front yamen to Xu Wujiang, Han Gui, Zhang Xiongshan and others to take over.

After Xu Huai left, Zhu Han looked at Han Gui and others who were looking through the records of the navy's defeat and asked: "How did the Jianye Navy defeat?"

"Mr. Zhu is also a man who knows military affairs. How did the navy defeat in Jianye???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The scouts sent by the Military Information Department to Jianye were still extremely restricted, and now they contacted the remnants of the navy who fled to Qizhou, but they pieced together the entire picture of the navy's defeat.

The Jianye Navy was originally part of the Jianye Prefecture Army. It had two patrol camps in the Linjiang area upstream and downstream of Jianye. Its original responsibility was to arrest smuggling and bandits, and ensure the smooth flow of the Jianye section of the Yangtze River. It only organized twenty or thirty whistle ships, oars, and more than 40 soldiers.

After deciding to move the capital to Jianye, Emperor Jianji envoy Liu Yan led the Youxiaosheng Army to station in Jianye first, and then sent Zhu Han as the prefect of Jianye to raise funds for the relocation of the capital. At that time, the Jianye army, including the navy, developed rapidly under the joint rule of Liu Yan and Zhu Han.

After the official move of the capital to Jianye, the role and status of the Jianye Navy in garrisoning the capital was no less than that of the Suwei Imperial Army. He was assigned from the Jianye Prefecture Army and was directly under the Imperial Camp Command. Emperor Jianji and Ling Jian were transferred. The two generals of Yu and the left and right were respectively appointed as the left and right commanders, expanding the scale of the Jianye Navy to more than 20,000.

During the first Huainan Battle, Ling Jian and the other generals of Yu Quan not only took turns to lead their troops into Hongzepu, but even went north along the coast of Huaidong to break into the Huaihe River to find fighter opportunities.

The Chihu East Route Army was forced to withdraw from Huainan in the first battle of Huainan, and did not even make any major military moves on the East Route for several years. The main reason was to realize that there was a gap between the navy and Dayue, which allowed its elite infantry cavalry to enter the areas of rivers and lakes to fight, which was too restricted.

After Emperor Shaolong ascended the throne, he carried out a major change in the Imperial City Division, the Imperial Guards and the Jianye Navy. Zhang Xin, Liu Shiwang, Yu Gong, Ling Jian, Yu Zheng and other generals were all transferred to the position of a free-standing cold stove, and replaced them with generals and officials from the Qiandi (Huaiwang Mansion).

There was no big problem at first. The Huai Prince's Mansion has survived the battles in the north and south over the years. Even though the results are not as dazzling as those in Jingxiang, the generals and officials have all seen blood. The foundation of the Jianye Navy will not be destroyed by this change of generals.

Basically, this time it seems that I want to imitate the strategies and tactics of the first Huainan Battle, but there are great deviations in some details.

The strategic choice in the early stage of the First Huainan Battle was to stand firm and wait for assistance, but the Privy Council absolutely did not require the soldiers to hold them in the city walls. On the contrary, it encouraged the defenders of the city walls to actively seek fighter opportunities to fight back. The Jianye Navy also actively entered Hongzepu. On the one hand, it avoided the premature battle with the Chihu East Army, and on the other hand, it actively curbed the Chihu East Army's edge.

This time, Han Shiliang and Ge Yu's troops performed well, so Yang Qiye led his troops into Chuzhou as soon as possible, and they all showed the quality of a strong army. This was related to Han Shiliang, Ge Yu and Yang Qiye's status was high, with rich experience in commanding troops and fighting, and would not follow the mercy of the Privy Council in everything, and it was also far from the center.

Even at this time, Han Shiliang and Ge Yu were surrounded in Shouchun City and did not completely give up their efforts to counterattack. They also actively organized troops to leave the city and rely on the city walls, so that the enemy troops could not launch a strong attack on Shouchun City directly.

However, the Youxiao Shengjun and the soldiers and horses of Jingnan were immediately ordered to be reinforced by the orders of the Juventus. The troops in Jingnan were too tightly controlled by the Privy Council. When several enemy soldiers boldly penetrated into Luzhou, they did not stop them, so they ordered the enemy soldiers to easily open up the passage to peek at the Yangtze River from Shouchun.

?????????????????? This is also the key to the enemy navy entering the river near Jianye and being able to receive the elite infantry armor of the 30,000 and 40,000 elite infantry armor on the north bank to the south bank as soon as possible - otherwise, the three or four thousand and 40,000 and 40,000 were shipped by the enemy navy and shipped with the ship, which might not have been able to gain a foothold near Jianye City on the south bank.

This is related to Xu Pu's reliance on joining Wang, Yang and others to replace Liu Yan in charge of the Youxiao Shengjun. He dare not ignore Wang Boqian and Yang Maoyan's greetings, and also related to the lack of combat effectiveness of Jingnan and Jingbei as local soldiers.

When the enemy navy raided Jianye, this disadvantage was even more extreme.

After Liu Yan advocated that the Jianye Navy was rejected, when the enemy navy appeared on the river east of Jianye, Wang Boqian and Yang Maoyan were afraid that the navy would suffer losses that he could not bear. Despite the opposition of the generals, they ordered the navy to withdraw all of them back to Shuiyingwu Port and even gave up their control of the river outside the river outside the port.

After seeing some of the enemy soldiers landing near Jianye City, the Suwei Imperial Army clearly had an absolute advantage in military strength on the south bank, Wang Boqian and Yang Maoyan did not have the determination to organize a head-on attack. Seeing that the Suwei Imperial Army suffered more than a thousand casualties in the west of Yupu Hexi, they couldn't wait to withdraw all the troops and horses to Jianye City.

At this time, he suddenly thought of giving up the control of the suburbs of Jianye City. The water camp would face the attack of the enemy soldiers from land and sea. Under this circumstance, Wang and Yang hurriedly ordered the navy to leave the dock port to fight the enemy soldiers and naval forces.

The Jianye Navy could not control the river surface outside the dock port. In this case, what would the result would be if hundreds of warships of all sizes and large ships leave the dock port to fight with the enemy? It still needs to be imagined?

If Xu Huai personally led his troops and went to fight to face the enemy in this situation, he would be killed so much that he would not even have his underwear left.

The navy general who led more than a hundred remaining soldiers to Qizhou was a commander who was followed by Emperor Shaolong during his tenure as King Huai. Because he was a veteran of the Huai Palace, he could know many secret matters, and this record was mainly his oral statement.

After reading the record, Zhu Han's hands and feet were cold.

Emperor Shaolong expelled Hu Kai from the court and replaced Liu Yan with Xu Pu to take charge of the You Xiao Shengjun. Xu Huai made an appeal. He realized that this was not a good thing for Da Yue, and he also expressed his objection. However, he still did not expect that the harm of changing generals and coaches would be so great and so direct...
