"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 724
At the beginning, Chen Ziang was weak and surrounded by powerful enemies, so he had to rely on the big tree of the Qinghe Army to avoid some risks.
?Because the main force of the Qinghe Army has a big target, even if the imperial army attacks, with the coordination of various troops, he does not have to face a strong enemy alone.
In particular, he led a lone army of 8,000 brothers to the north to attract the main force of the enemy, so as to cover the main force to break through.
In fact, while he was covering the main force to break through the encirclement and go south, the main force had a big target, which attracted more enemies in the later stage, and covered them to a certain extent.
Now the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang has grown from weak to strong, fighting step by step, and now occupies most of the Jiangbei Province and the entire Jiangnan Province, and its strength has far surpassed the main force led by Chen Ru.
As his own strength grew, Chen Ziang's mentality also underwent a series of changes.
At the beginning, he still needed to rely on the big tree of the Qinghe Army to enjoy the shade, but now they actually don't need to rely on anyone.
When hearing the news of Chen Ru's main force, although Chen Ziang was also happy, it was not because he found a backer.
It was because a group of brothers and many of their family members were in Yunshan Province back then, and they were alive, so I was naturally very happy.
As for the life and death of the commander-in-chief Chen Ru, Chen Ziang actually didn't care much about it. He sent the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade to prepare for the rescue in Yunshan Province, but it was just a show.
Now they don't need to hide under the wings of the main force, but Chen Ru's main force is still useful.
If Chen Ru is killed by Luo Dagang, the main force will inevitably become fragmented, and its strength will be further weakened, and it will not be able to contain many southern troops.
Now Chen Ziang wants the commander-in-chief Chen Ru to live. After all, he has been the commander-in-chief for so long, so he still has a certain prestige.
Whether it was Meng Jianbo, the commander of the Third Army, Liu Yidao, the commander of the Fourth Army, or Chen Xiaoyu, they all followed his orders.
If Chen Ru can escape from birth and integrate the main force of the Qinghe Army, it will be a great threat to the Southern Army.
At that time, the main force of the Southern Army will not dare to launch a large-scale attack on their Jiangnan Province as it is now, and will have to deploy troops to defend Yunshan Province.
Chen Ziang even thought that if Chen Ru died, he could support Chen Xiaoyu and let her lead the Qinghe Army in Yunshan Province.
At that time, I will have Li Qiye, the chief of staff there, and I will open up the waterway in the Dongjiang River Basin, and then support money, food and military equipment, and their strength will also increase rapidly.
At that time, it will be equivalent to opening up a second battlefield behind the Southern Army, which will form a double-team situation against the Southern Army in Dongjiang Province.
And the Southern Army, which was attacked from the front and rear, would also have to switch from offense to defense at that time, and it was only a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.
It's just that Chen Zi'ang is still facing a problem, that is, the loyalty of the Chief of Staff Li Qiye and others who are stranded in Yunshan Province.
After all, the two sides have lost contact for a long time now, and the other party once thought that their entire army had been wiped out.
Now that they got in touch again suddenly, Chen Ziang naturally didn't know what Li Qiye and others were thinking at the moment.
Because he knew about the matter in Yunshan Province, Chen Ziang also lost all sleepiness.
Now that he knows the news about the main force of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang also needs to make new adjustments to his current strategy.
"Call Zhang Yi here."
Chen Ziang has just appointed Zhang Yi as the person in charge of the Intelligence Investigation Department Yunshan Province. Although Zhang Yi has been running all the way, he has not fallen asleep.
Zhang Yi was notified by Chen Ziang's personal guards, but he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly got up to see Chen Ziang.
Zhang Yi was born in the old Jiuying. Compared with other brothers in the old Jiuying who are now in high positions, his development has been slower.
The most important reason is that Zhang Yi was sent to the Intelligence Investigation Department, and they didn't go to the battlefield, so they weren't as easy to build military exploits as those brothers in the army.
This time, he made a contribution by contacting the main force of the Shangqinghe Army, and was successfully promoted to the head of a province in the Intelligence Investigation Department.
The Second Army of the Qinghe Army now occupies a limited territory, and actually controls most of the Jiangbei Province and the entire Jiangnan Province.
The main intelligence network of the Intelligence Investigation Division is also located in these twoIn the province, Director Chu Yue is in charge of the base camp, and Deputy Director Zhai Wenjing is in Jiangnan Province.
Now that Zhang Yi has been appointed as the person in charge of Yunshan Province, he has become the No. 3 figure in the Intelligence and Investigation Department.
Zhang Yi soon followed a bodyguard to the small farmyard where Chen Ziang lived. Zheng Song, the aide in charge of duty, was already waiting at the door.
"Master Zhang, the general is waiting for you." Zheng Song, the aide, made a request.
Zhang Yi has been in the intelligence and investigation department system all the time, and he doesn't know the people around Chen Ziang. After slightly nodding his head, he followed Zheng Song into the house.
Just now Zhang Yi met Chen Ziang with the deputy director of the Intelligence Investigation Department Zhai Wenjing and others.
Now he met Chen Ziang alone. The situation was quite different. It was the first time he faced Chen Ziang alone, the commander of the Second Legion. Zhang Yi's face was tense, and he was still a little nervous.
Chen Ziang is a commander who was born out of bloody battles on the battlefield, and he has been in a high position for a long time. He just sits there like that, exuding the majesty of a superior person, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
This is what ordinary people call momentum, or aura. Zhang Yi is in such an aura, and he naturally feels nervous.
"Are you from the Ninth Battalion?"
After the staff member Zheng Song poured Zhang Yi a cup of tea, he retreated tactfully, leaving Chen Ziang and Zhang Yi alone in the room.
"General, I have followed you since the establishment of the Ninth Battalion." Zhang Yi hurriedly stood up and replied.
"Sit down and answer, don't be restrained." Chen Ziang pressed his hand.
"Are there any relatives in the family?"
"Reporting to the general, my parents died of starvation. I also had a brother who joined the army with me and died in the battle with the imperial guards in Qinghe Province." Zhang Yi replied honestly.
Chen Ziang nodded, Zhang Yi's experience was similar to that of most of the brothers in the Qinghe Army.
At the beginning, there was a famine in Qinghe Province, and the imperial court did not provide relief, which led to a vigorous uprising.
It's just that after they were involved in this uprising, they had no way out except to move forward.
Chen Ziang chatted with Zhang Yi for a while, got to know Zhang Yi a bit, and at the same time drew closer to each other.
Chen Zi'ang, as the commander of the Second Army Corps, is now sitting here doing business with him, and Zhang Yi also feels flattered.
"The Department of Intelligence and Investigation did not do a good job in Jiangnan province. What are you going to do when you arrive in Yunshan province?"
After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Yi, Chen Ziang asked Zhang Yi how to carry out intelligence work in Yunshan Province.
After all, Zhang Yi has now been appointed as the head of the Intelligence and Investigation Department of Yunshan Province.
"Our intelligence and investigation department had several teams sent to Yunshan Province. I plan to use them as the backbone, and then transfer some people from Mr. Li to set up the shelf first."
"I am going to send several separate intelligence teams to infiltrate Yang Hao's rebel army, the Southern Army, as the focus of the first phase, and then establish intelligence contact points in various prefectures and counties, and finally form a complete intelligence network."
After all, Zhang Yi also came from the Intelligence Investigation Department and had received a certain degree of intelligence training.
So after facing Chen Ziang's inquiry, he also confessed some of his own thoughts.
"Manpower will not be transferred from Chief of Staff Li. The day after tomorrow, a group of students from the War College will arrive here to prepare for training in the army. I will transfer some to you."
"After Yunshan Province, in addition to sending a separate intelligence team to Yang Hao's troops and the Southern Army, our Third Army, Fourth Army, and Second Army and other troops will also secretly infiltrate some people."
"The main force is now mixed with fish and dragons. There must be a lot of enemies mixed in. You must pay more attention." Chen Ziang stared at Zhang Yidao.
After Zhang Yi heard Chen Ziang's words, he was also shocked. When his eyes met Chen Ziang's, he immediately understood.
"Don't worry, general, I will definitely pay more attention. If there is any change in them, I will report to the general as soon as possible."
Although Zhang Yi's words were reserved, Chen Ziang nodded with a smile, knowing that Zhang Yi understood what he meant. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
