Invincible son

Chapter 636 635 [North View]

Up and down the big river, there are so many soups.

The morning sun and the evening are cloudy, and the weather is myriad.

The Tiancang River originates from the Cangwu Mountains on the southern border of Lingzhou in Daliang, passes through the Shiwanda Mountains in the south of Yuzhou, and then goes east along the terrain, passing through Sizhou, Dingzhou and Lizhou on the southern border in turn. , and finally merged into the vast expanse of angry sea.

Emperor Gaozu of Liang Liang occupied the capital of the former Wei Dynasty after the incident, and gradually eroded the world by attacking from all directions. He reached the vast and angry sea to the east, approached the extremely cold snow area to the north, peeked at the Gaoyang Plain to the west, and was blocked by the Tiancang River to the south.In fact, since the reign of Taizong, the pattern of the three kingdoms has stabilized, and no one can easily break this situation.

Xiwu has more than [-] solid cavalry, of course he is not willing to be blocked to the west of Lingzhou.From the first year of Yongning to the second year of Renxuan, Western Wu provoked disputes on the border one after another, and was finally defeated by Ding Guogong Pei Zhen, and lost the most important city of Hu.In the fifth year of Kaiping, the Western Wu iron cavalry made a comeback. They used pincers to attack from north to south, intending to recapture Hucheng and invade Lingzhou.

It is foreseeable that, at least within ten years, Western Wu will not be able to launch another national war with hundreds of thousands of troops marching eastward.The two sides will continue to conduct continuous small-scale trials and fights around the front line of Hucheng.

The situation in the south is more complicated.

The Tiancang River separated Daliang from the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but in fact the border between the two countries was not so clear.

To the southwest of Sizhou, also the most southwestern tip of Daliang territory, there are two strong cities belonging to the Southern Zhou Dynasty on the north bank of the Tiancang River.These two cities built purely for defense stand on the banks of the river, relying on the powerful naval forces of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to obtain continuous supplies.From here, go down the river to the middle section of Daliang Dingzhou, where there is the strongest Dingzhou navy in Daliang, and it is the only group of warships that can compete with the Southern Army.

The biggest function of the Dingzhou navy was to protect the two pontoon bridges across the river. Liang Jun supported the Jiangling defense line on the south bank through these two pontoon bridges.

Thirty-five years ago, the boundary line between Daliang and Nanzhou was not the Tiancang River.At that time, the land of the three prefectures of Sizhou, half of Dingzhou, and even most of Lizhou were all the territory of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.It was during these decades that two handsome talents who used soldiers like gods and took the lead appeared in Daliang, gradually changing this situation.

During the 13 years when Wang Pingzhang led the army in the southern border, he forced the Southern Zhou Dynasty to retreat step by step, losing most of the territory on the northern shore.

Gu Liang followed closely behind. He once said with a smile in front of Pei Yue that he had a first-line advantage in the entanglement with Nan Zhou Zhen Guogong Fang Xie Xiao.

In fact, it is not just a first-line advantage. After succeeding Wang Pingzhang as the actual commander of the southern frontier army, Gu Liang drove the Southern Zhou army to the south of the Tiancang River, and coordinated the Southern Army and Dingzhou Navy. Initiated the Battle of Jiangling, and bit off a big bite of Nan Zhou's body.

The battle of Jiangling lasted for more than seven months. The final result was that the Liang army captured the three cities of Jiangling, Luyang, and Qingshui on the south bank of the Tiancang River, and used the three cities that formed the corners of each other to form the Jiangling defense line, firmly rooted on the south bank. .

For more than ten years, Southern Zhou has always wanted to take down the three cities of Jiangling. However, as long as the Dingzhou Navy and the two pontoon bridges on the river are not destroyed for one day, the continuous support for the three cities on the north bank cannot be cut off. And aid, this wish cannot be fulfilled.

In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Chengbei camp was built more than [-] miles south of Jiangling City, with [-] elite infantry and a small number of cavalry stationed there.

Time comes to early April, the weather is getting warmer and sunny all day long.

In the commanding tent of the big camp, a middle-aged man was concentrating on watching the military report, and three young men stood beside him.

After a long time, the middle-aged man put down the file, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

The handsome Fang Yunhu said with a bad expression: "Father, those people in Beijing are making a mess."

The middle-aged man is Fang Xiexiao, the head of the Fang family in Pingjiang, the Duke of Nanzhou Township, and the Prime Minister's Minister of Military Affairs.

The Pingjiang Fang family has a deep relationship with the Southern Zhou royal family, dating back to before the founding of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and they often intermarried in the past hundred years. For example, the current Queen of the Southern Zhou Dynasty is Fang Xiexiao's cousin.Of course, the courts of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were not all factions of the Fang family, even in the army there were forces that opposed them.

Fang Xiexiao was at a disadvantage in the fight against Wang Pingzhang and Gu Liang. This does not mean that his personal ability is poor, and the reasons are too complicated.At least compared to the performance of others who were about to collapse at the touch of a button, Fang Xiexiao was able to keep a large number of soldiers alive, and was able to stabilize the defense after the Battle of Jiangling.As the most famous army of the Fang family, the Pingjiang camp performed well in the North-South War, and it was one of the few elites that could compete with the Daliang Southern Army.

However, Fang Xiexiao has been in a lot of trouble recently.

Last month, Emperor Liang sent envoys to the capital of Southern Zhou to force Emperor Zhou to dismiss Fang Xiexiao by virtue of Fang Yunhu's incident. Although the emperor categorically vetoed this and reprimanded him sharply, rumors inevitably spread in the capital. .

Hearing Fang Yunhu's complaint, Fang Xiexiao smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty knows how to deal with the scheming from the north."

Fang Yunhu curled his lips, and said softly: "Those idiots only want to appease and seek peace, and they don't even worry about the north's attack. Anyway, when the time comes, they will betray the country and seek glory. Maybe they can even ask for a title. Recently, there are rumors in the capital that the emperor in the north will That little concubine of Pei Yue was rewarded with an imperial order, but that concubine is still from Western Wu, those idiots couldn't bear it when they heard the news, they wished to send all their daughters to the generals in the north to be concubines, I'm sorry!"

The second elder brother Fang Yunsong who stood beside him smiled and said, "Fourth brother, everyone has their own ambitions, why should you care?"

Fang Yunhu frowned and said, "Second brother, of course I'm not interested in paying attention to their crap about selling their daughter, but this group of people has done more than fail. How can we just sit back and watch them fish in troubled waters?"

Standing not far away is their eldest brother, Fang Yuntian, the current chief general of the Pingjiang camp. He did not participate in the argument between the two younger brothers, but stared at the topographic map along the river hanging on the wall, and said solemnly: "Father, when will Do it?"

Fang Xiexiao looked at him approvingly, and said with a smile, "It's coming soon."

Fang Yuntian nodded and said: "We can't let the north face take such a leisurely approach. Since the national war is inevitable, we must always seize the opportunity as much as possible."

Fang Xiexiao turned her head when she heard the words, looked at the glaring word Jiangling on the topographic map, and said slowly: "Wait a little longer."

His mind drifted to the north, as if he had crossed thousands of miles of fertile fields, looked down at Liang Jingdu from a high position, and calmly waited for the birth of that opportunity.
