"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 151
Chen Ziang's well-founded analysis was obviously more convincing than Luo Dagang's suggestion, and won the approval of the generals.
However, the commander-in-chief Chen Ru still did not express his position, because what he needs now is to use a victory to stabilize his position and authority, instead of retreating like a bereaved dog.
Now there are many dynastic troops in the surrounding areas, and the situation is getting worse and worse for them, but it has not yet reached the point where they have to leave.
After all, the dynasty army will not be able to eat up their Qinghe army in one go, and the dynasty army is not that strong.
When Chen Ziang was talking, he naturally saw the hesitation on Chen Ru's face, and roughly guessed his inner thoughts at the moment.
After all, as the new commander-in-chief, if he led his troops to retreat in such a desperate manner, it would greatly affect his image and authority as the new commander-in-chief.
"It is imperative for us to retreat, because Qinghe Province is close to Gyeonggi Province where heavily troops are stationed, and it is also the place where the Fourth World War was fought. It is not suitable for our army to recuperate and develop for a long time."
"The retreat is not because we are afraid of the imperial army's escape behavior, but an active strategic shift for the survival and development of our Qinghe army. After all, we will fight back when we become stronger."
Chen Ziang described the retreat as a strategic shift, which sounded much more pleasing to the ear, making it easier for everyone to accept.
"Then where are we going to transfer?"
Chen Ru also knew that the Qinghe province was indeed not suitable for long-term stationing, but where to move became a problem that troubled them again.
After all, each province is now either controlled by the dynasty army or occupied by other rebels, and there is no place for them at all.
Once they left Qinghe province and were unable to gain a foothold in other provinces, they would turn into a precarious bandit at that time, which was not what Chen Ru wanted to see.
Chen Ziang paused and replied: "Report to Commander, I suggest going south to Dongjiang province."
"Dongjiang Province?"
After all the generals heard the words, they were all confused. After all, they had only heard about the Dongjiang Province, and actually knew nothing about the Dongjiang Province.
From their birth to the present, they have lived in Qinghe Province for most of their lives, and they don't even know the location of Dongjiang Province.
Among these generals, Liu Yidao, Luo Dagang and Meng Jianbo are good fighters in battle, and it is easy to charge forward.
However, those who don't know a lot of Chinese characters are not very interested in things like maps, and they rely on orderlies to convey orders, and rely on staff to write orders.
Now when Chen Ziang said that he was going to Dongjiang Province, they all stared and frowned.
"I've heard of the Dongjiang Province, but it's thousands of miles away. Is it too far away?"
?Wu Yanqing, chief of staff, knows Dongjiang Province roughly, but he also knows only a little, but knows a long way.
"Indeed, as Master Wu said, from Qinghe Province to Dongjiang Province, the journey is thousands of miles long, not to mention the long distance, and several provinces to pass through. Along the way, there are local garrison troops stationed by the dynasty, which is also an obstacle."
Chen Ziang immediately changed the topic: "However, Dongjiang Province is far away from the royal capital, and the central army of the dynasty is out of reach. What we need to deal with is only some local troops of the dynasty with weak combat effectiveness. With the strength of our army, we should be able to handle it easily."
"Moreover, Dongjiang Province is located in the south, with abundant rain, fertile land, a large population, and sufficient soldiers and food. Once our army arrives in Dongjiang Province, there will be no worries about soldiers and food."
"The Jiangbei Province, Jiangnan Province, Yunshan Province, and Annan Province around the Dongjiang Province are also grain-producing areas. As long as our army controls these provinces, then we can launch the Northern Expedition and destroy the Far East in one fell swoop. dynasty!"
Chen Zi'ang pointed at the map and talked eloquently, with sharp self-confidence shining in his sharp eyes.
In this era of cold weapons, as long as an army has food, territory and population, it is only a matter of time before it grows.
However, the Dongjiang Province in the south and the surrounding areas are very suitable as a foothold for development, whether it is food, population or fertile land.
Chen Ru was also very moved after hearing Chen Ziang's words. He had been focusing on the surrounding areas of Qinghe province, but he hadn't considered the south.
After hearing Chen Ziang's analysis now, I also feel that it is a good choice to go south to Dongjiang province.
"Are there other rebel troops in the south?" Chen Ruasked.
Chen Ziang replied: "Yunshan Province has a rebel army with more than 50,000 people, Jiangbei Province also has more than ten groups of rebels, Dongjiang Province and Jiangnan Province currently only have a small group of thousands of people."
"Zi Ang, how do you know so much about the situation in the south?"
Their Qinghe province is thousands of miles away from the south, and now seeing that Chen Ziang knows exactly where it is, Chen Ru is also full of doubts.
Chen Ziang naturally wouldn't say that he had sent people to investigate the situation early on. After all, building an intelligence network behind the commander's back was a taboo thing.
"Reporting to Commander, I only learned about the situation from the mouths of some merchants. After repeated comparisons, it should be close to ten." Chen Ziang found a reason to evade it.
?Because the business traveler traveled all over the world, the news is also very well-informed, and it can be explained.
"Not bad, not bad, why didn't I think of it."
After Chen Ru heard Chen Ziang's explanation, he didn't doubt it, but felt enlightened.
The information they rely on now is based on prisoners of war and scouts, and the information they have obtained is really limited, which also limits their decision-making and judgment.
Chen Ziang now said to let them go to Dongjiang Province in the south, and he had already figured out the situation there, which undoubtedly gave them another choice.
After repeated discussions, even though the commander-in-chief Chen Ru didn't want to stay away from his homeland, he had to make a compromise in the face of the reality, and finally decided to go south to Dongjiang Province.
?Because it is too dangerous for them to stay in Qinghe Province, not only will they face continuous encirclement and suppression, but they will also face food shortages and insufficient soldiers.
"Now the army of the Dynasty is stationed on the north bank of the Qingshui River and is eyeing us. If we want to make a strategic shift south to Dongjiang Province, the Army of the Dynasty will never let us leave easily."
When they decided to go south to Dongjiang Province, another practical problem was placed in front of them, and that was how to get rid of the dynasty army.
"We can send out a partial division to attract the attention of the Dynasty army, and then the large force will take the opportunity to leave."
"Do you think Dynasty Army is so easy to deceive?"
"They have black cavalry who come and go like the wind. Even if they are deceived for a while, they cannot be deceived forever."
"Then we can leave an army to stop the dynasty's pursuit."
"But who will stay? How many troops should be left?"
Facing this difficult problem, everyone also used their brains to find a solution.
However, the dynasty army has many generals, and it is not an easy task for them to escape from the dynasty army's nose.
After all, their Qinghe army now not only has five legions in formation, but also a large number of old and weak women and children. They cannot be discarded.
