After executing the Khitan prisoners, Yang Zi returned to Xia Pi, rested his troops and prepared for the attack on the East China Sea.
In recent days, Yang Zi has not had time to deal with the affairs of the army. However, with Li Jing, a general, Yang Zi doesn't have to worry about it. No one is omnipotent. As a leader, as long as he has the ability to control his subordinates, Yang Zi has now obtained Xia Pi and Luomahu, and Jiao Hongjin is in Xia Pi, Zhai Jiao is in Pengcheng, Qin Shubao is in Liangdu, and the people of the Luoma Gang are familiar with water wars and the Dongming Sect that continuously transports military supplies. Yang Zi is as stable as Mount Tai.
Yang Zi was busy meeting the top figures of nearby counties and towns in Xia Pi to calm the people's hearts. Suddenly someone visited him and claimed to be Yang Zi's old friend and was waiting for him to meet him in Xia Pi's city lord's mansion. Although he knew that his Tang Gang's power was rising, there would definitely be many people who wanted their own lives. Yang Zi was very skilled and brave and was not afraid. When he came to the hall, he saw that the man didn't know him at all. After asking, he claimed that he was Li Xingyuan and the guardian of Muyang City.
It turned out that Li Xingyuan was not only the main general of Muyang, another big city between Xia Pi and Donghai, but also Li Zitong's fellow villager. He came to see Yang Zi to surrender and promised to give Muyang to the Tang Gang.
Yang Zi asked about the reason. Li Xingyuan mentioned that Li Ziyun, the chief general of Donghai City, was also Li Zitong's younger brother. This person was lustful and lustful. Everyone hated him in Donghai County. Relying on the power of his brother Li Zitong, he bullied men and women, and even Li Xingyuan's sister occupied him. Li Xingyuan hated him, and Yang Zi seized Xia Pi. In addition, Yang Zi had a very good reputation, so Li Xingyuan had the idea of surrendering. After talking to Mu Yang's confidant general, he unexpectedly reached an agreement. Li Xingyuan left the city in person and came to Xia Pi secretly.
Yang Zi encouraged him and asked him to return to Muyang and wait for dispatch. Li Xingyuan left happily
Soon, the latest information came from the reconnaissance battalion. Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang fought a fierce battle. Xu Yuanlang was defeated, and the general was defeated, and there was no power to fight back. It was only a matter of time before Dou Jiande was destroyed.
In addition, Xiao Xian captured Cangwu and Fanyu and dominated the south. After merging several small forces, his troops increased to more than 400,000. No one in the two lakes dared to seize the attack.
The coalition of Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing and Li Zitong, who occupied Jiangdu, were still in a confrontation. Of course, Yang Zi knew that Li Zitong would be defeated. Li Zitong in history was defeated by Du Fuwei.
This latest information is not good for the Tang Gang. If Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing's coalition defeat Li Zitong and win Jiangdu, it will lead to a situation where Dou Jiande attacks Liangdu on both sides.
At this moment, Yang Zi discussed with generals such as Li Jing, Luo Qifei, Jiao Hongjin. In just over half a month, Langya, Liangcheng, Huairen and Lanling near the East China Sea also expressed their willingness to surrender to Yang Zi's Tang army. Since then, the land transportation in the East China Sea has been completely cut off, but the East China Sea has always been dominated by sea transportation. Although the land transportation is blocked, the impact is not great
Therefore, it is not easy to conquer the East China Sea. Now Xia Pi is available for battle. In addition to Li Jing's 5,000 mixed battalions of the fifth battalions, there are Jiao Hongjin's 5,000 Luoma Gangs. It is unrealistic to attack the East China Sea with 10,000 troops. Obviously, Li Jing and others have also thought of this. Even if Qin Shubao's 4th battalion of 5,000 people are brought over, it is not enough. Moreover, the East China Sea is an important base for Li Zitong. Li Zitong has occupied it for many years and has been continuously strengthening the city defense. It is difficult to conquer the East China Sea in the short term. Even if the Sky Thunder Throw Throwing Soldier led by Gao Zhandao and forcibly conquer the East China Sea, it will be greatly damaged. This is very unfavorable to the newly established Tang army.
Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Yang Zi smiled and said: Do you think the East China Sea is difficult to fight?
Li Jing said: Has the King of Tang already made a plan?
Although this sentence is simple, it also indirectly shows Li Jing's meaning. He only asked what strategy he had, which proved that he was not optimistic about the plan to attack the East China Sea. If there were no strange plans, the East China Sea would be difficult to chew.
Yang Zi smiled and said: Our biggest shortcoming now is that our military strength is weak, our foundation is not stable, and our expansion is too fast. However, this is our advantage. Li Ziyun of the East China Sea is an arrogant person who is very fond of merit, while his military advisor Tong Shuwen is self-conceited. These two people are the most ideal enemy. As long as they are dealing well, victory can be expected.
All the generals were in doubt
Yang Zi said: The key to seizing the East China Sea is Li Xingyuan of Muyang! If I was not wrong, he should be a spy sent by Tong Shuwen, because according to reason, he should first take a wait-and-see attitude to see if we really have a future before he surrenders. If Muyang and Donghai are dependent on each other, if Li Zitong doesn't believe him, how could he let him stay in Muyang? At least Li Xingyuan's relatives will stay in the East China Sea. If he betrays, Li Ziyun can kill half of his family, so there must be a deception in this matter!
Li Jing said in surprise: I thought the King of Tang had full trust in Li Xingyuan, so you had a plan
Yang Zi smiled faintly and said: If you can't deceive you, how can you deceive him? His biggest flaw is to come to see me in person. It will take at least three days to get here from Mu Yang? At this moment when the war is about to break out, how can he leave at will, and how can he explain to Li Ziyun?
All the generals were convinced by Li Jing: Since that's the case, how should we deal with it?
Yang Zi said confidently: Use the trick and lead the pig out of the hole!
……
Fifteen warships from the Luoma Gang sailed away from Xia Pi and set sail towards Muyang along Mushui.
On the stands of Yang Zizhuo's main ship, his elegant and slender figure exudes a momentum of dominating the world. Although the little Lu Bu and Jiao Hongjin beside him are tall and mighty and heroic, he is still inferior to Yang Zi, and can only set off the green leaves that set off the peony.
In the eyes of his soldiers, Yang Zi is a leader who is strategist and invincible in command, and an invincible master.
Suddenly, the ship seemed to be full of soldiers. In fact, there were only more than a hundred people on each ship, and there were only more than 1,500 people together. Since Luo Qifei contacted Muyang Li Xingyuan three days ago and informed him of the plan to attack the East China Sea, Yang Zi ordered the Tang army to make fraudulent mobilization to deceive the enemy spies.
The real main force of combat is the two thousand light cavalry led by Li Jing and the five hundred throwing soldiers secretly arranged by Gao Zhandao on the ship. The others just acted in a feint attack.
The two sides of the shore are full of green and wild vitality. The sun is slowly rising in front of the river. Yang Zi suddenly remembered his previous life and secretly lamented that things are changing. If that hadn't happened, he had traveled to the Tang Dynasty world, he would probably still be peeling radishes in the kitchen of a restaurant. Now he has become the leader of separatist in the late Sui Dynasty. It is really wonderful and wonderful.
Yang Zi suddenly said: Hongjin, do you think Li Ziyun and Tong Shuwen will fall into the trap?
Jiao Hongjin pondered for a moment and said: In terms of strength alone, the East China Sea has a navy with thirty warships, with a total force of thousands more than us. In addition, we are on the expedition and are not familiar with the local terrain. It is entirely up to Li Xingyuan, a blind bamboo that is unreliable. If I were Tong Shuwen, even if I knew we were cheating, I would be happy to strike head-on.
Yang Zi laughed and said: That's right! So this time is purely a victory in danger. One is Li Jing's surprise soldier, and the other is our new type of troops. As long as we can break the water fleet in the East China Sea, the flexibility of the East China Sea troops can be completely paralyzed. Not only can we not quickly support Muyang from the water, but their sea defense collapses, so that we can block the East China Sea city on both water and land, ha! At that time, Li Ziyun and Tong Shuwen could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
Jiao Hongjin let out a sigh of relief in secret, glad that he was not Yang Zi's enemy
Any outstanding commander, even Li Mi, Li Shimin, Du Fuwei, and Dou Jiande, has always been found in his combat methods.
For example, Li Mi likes to use fraud; Li Shimin uses both soft and hard methods, is good at grasping the situation and takes defense as an offensive; Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army comes and goes like the wind, and fights to support war
However, Yang Zi's combat method was completely unsuccessful, as if he was a wild person, he could not measure it. He not only gathered the strengths of many families, but also had a unique cardinal mission. He was so bold that he was amazing and amazing.
Who is not afraid of such an opponent?
Yang Zi smiled faintly: If I was not mistaken, the enemy would wait for us to cross Muyang and go to sea to meet us. At that time, Li Xingyuan cut off our army's retreat, and we would have the ending of annihilation of the entire army. But it would be best if the East China Sea navy came all over and was lying under the heavy troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Then we can not only easily detect the correct position of their interception, but also destroy the enemy's main force in one fell swoop. What an ideal thing is that!
Jiao Hongjin nodded repeatedly
On the surface, their plan was to force the East China Sea in two ways, using Muyang as support.
After going out to sea, the navy will cooperate with the Tang army and Li Xingyuan's Muyang army who came by land to siege the East China Sea.
But of course it's another matter in the bones
In the afternoon of the same day, the fleet arrived in Muyang. After a short stay, Yang Zi and Li Xingyuan who was boarding the ship discussed plans to attack the East China Sea. The fleet set sail again.
In recent days, Yang Zi has not had time to deal with the affairs of the army. However, with Li Jing, a general, Yang Zi doesn't have to worry about it. No one is omnipotent.
