    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 752

    "General, the Blue River has won a great victory!"

    ? In Fenglin Town, Chen Ziang was sitting in the courtyard playing chess with Yang Zhong who had returned from Yunshan Province, when the staff member Zheng Song strode into the courtyard with a face full of excitement.

    After hearing Zheng Song's voice, Chen Zi'ang and Yang Zhong also looked up.

    "General Qi, I just received the battle report. Commander Yuan Bing defeated the Southern Army in the middle of the Blue River and won countless gains."

    Zheng Song strode up to Chen Ziang, and handed over a copy of the latest battle report with both hands.

    Chen Ziang did not continue to move forward when he lived in Fenglin Town this time, and let the regiment commander Yuan Jie take charge of the front-line command operations, so as to temper Yuan Jie's ability to be independent.

    There are only four banner regiments under Yuan Jie's command, and nearly half of them are newly formed recruits.

    Chen Ziang felt that it would not be an easy task for Yuan Jie to defeat the Southern Army in the middle, and it would take some time.

    But what Chen Ziang didn't expect was that Yuan Jie defeated the southern army led by Luo Jing so quickly.

    "Regimental Commander Yuan Bing is worthy of being the sole general of our Qinghe Army, and he defeated tens of thousands of Southern Army without any effort."

    After reading the battle report, Chen Ziang also had a relaxed smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise Yuan Jie.

    Hearing Chen Ziang's praise of Yuan Jie, Yang Zhong, who was sitting across from the chessboard, felt mixed feelings in his heart.

    Think back when he followed Chen Ziang, Yuan Jie was just an unknown person.

    Now he went south with the main force and separated from Chen Ziang for a period of time. Yuan Jie, who was unknown at the beginning, relied on his military exploits and opportunities to become a general with tens of thousands of troops and a high position.

    And he, the old brother who followed Chen Ziang at the beginning, has nothing to do here all day and has become an idler.

    "Order to go down and give first-class merit to all the Second Corps once, and the whole army will report the award."

    "The rest of the rewards will be determined after the battle according to the military exploits."

    The Second Corps led by Yuan Jie defeated the Southern Army of the Central Route, which was the most elite Southern Army of the Route.

    Now that the most elite mid lane troops have been defeated, the other two lanes are naturally not to be feared.

    Because Xu Liang's troops on the North Road were still huddled in the city and did not dare to move out. Although the South Road had already attacked the territory of Dongjin Mansion, it was still a lone army, so there was nothing to worry about.

    Once the news of the defeat of the Central Southern Army spreads, the other two Southern Army will retreat without a fight.

    As long as the attacking southern army is repelled, then their Qinghe army will completely stabilize the Jiangnan province.

    As long as they are given half a year to rest, the strength of their Qinghe Army Second Corps will rise to a new level by then.

    At that time, they will be able to switch from strategic defense to strategic offense. It is not the southern army that will attack them, but they will attack the southern army.

    "Send a message to Li Lang. Now that our Qinghe army is growing stronger, especially if we can defeat the main force of the southern army in one battle, it will definitely attract more people's attention. He must strengthen his defenses and prevent people from taking advantage of it."

    Now almost all the main forces of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army have been transferred south to the area south of the Dongjiang River.

    In the Jiangbei area, there are only three banner regiments, the First Banner Regiment of the Infantry under Li Lang's command, the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, and the Guards Banner Regiment who stayed at the base camp.

    And they not only have to defend against external enemies such as Luyang Province, but also are responsible for guarding the eight prefectures of Jiangbei Province. It can be said that the task is very heavy.

    In the past, it was nothing for the Qinghe army to toss in the south, but now the Qinghe army is growing and has threatened many forces.

    So Chen Ziang also had to say hello to Li Lang and the others, asking them to raise their guard.

    Because once there is a problem in the north, Chen Zi'ang and his Qinghe Army Second Corps will be in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

    Although they are quite strong now, they are not yet able to fight on two fronts, because they cannot afford it.

    Chen Ziang originally wanted to develop in a low-key manner, and kept a low-key profile when his strength was not enough to crush most forces.

    However, in order to occupy the grain-producing areas of Jiangnan Province, they had no choice but to cross the south of the Yangtze River and give it a go.

    As they gradually occupied the Jiangnan Province and defeated a southern army that came to attack, even though they wanted to keep a low profile, they could no longer keep a low profile.

    ? Chen Ziang, as the Qinghe Army's No.?The helmsman of this big ship, the Legion, knows that there must be a battle between them and the forces of all parties.

    But what he needs now is to postpone the fight with them as much as possible, and to accumulate as much powerful force as possible.

    "An order was sent to Hongbo's 19th Banner Regiment of the Navy to control the Dongjiang River Basin as soon as possible, and carry out raids on the coastal areas of the Dongjiang Province in order to contain the strength of the Southern Army."

    Although Chen Zi'ang had given orders to Hong Bo before, and Hong Bo also took the initiative to lead his troops to attack the remnants of the Southern Army and Navy.

    It's just that Ye Chun, the general of the Southern Army and Navy, has gained a lot of wisdom, and now he has become quite cautious and conservative in combat.

    Moreover, they rebuilt the navy troops in Dongjiang Province, and their strength has been restored to a certain extent.

    Although Hongbo's 19th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army and Water Army fought against them one after another, they were unable to defeat them every time.

    After all, Hong Bo and the others defeated the Southern Army Navy fleet earlier, relying on conspiracy and tricks, and the Southern Army Navy underestimated the enemy.

    Now that the Southern Army's naval fleet has increased its attention, relying on the group of water bandits under Hong Bo's command, they really won't be able to eat each other for a while.

    Chen Zi'ang is now urging Hong Bo, the head of the banner group, to step up his attack. He also wants to put some pressure on him. After all, only when there is pressure will there be motivation, and only then will he find ways to complete the task.

    Chen Ziang was making various arrangements and issued a series of orders. His aide Zheng Song had the ability to remember with a photograph, so he agreed one by one.

    "General, the troops of the 22nd Banner Regiment crossed the river yesterday, and will soon be assigned to the command of the Second Corps. This is the list of recommended banner commanders drawn up by the Military Affairs Department, and I ask the general to decide."

    Staff member Zheng Song quickly left and returned, and showed a list to Chen Ziang for review. After all, the appointment of the head of the banner still required his signature.

    In this recommendation list for the head of the 22nd Banner, there are Tan Feng, the deputy head of the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, Pang Biao, the deputy head of the 12th Banner Regiment, and the deputy head of the 12th Banner Regiment.  Zhou Han and the other three.

    All three of them were officers who had been promoted all the way through military exploits, and Chen Ziang was also familiar with them.

    "They have all been promoted to deputy banner chief not long ago, let them hone their positions as deputy banner chiefs."

    Indeed, as Chen Ziang said, there is no such thing as these three people were promoted from banner battalion commander to deputy banner commander not long ago.

    ?Because with the expansion of the Qinghe Army's army, the Corps system was formed, so there were more positions, so the promotion speed of officers at all levels was also very fast.

    It is naturally a good thing for these officers, but Chen Ziang doesn't think so, because the promotion is fast, sometimes it is not a good thing, lack of tempering, strides are too big, easy to fall.

    "Tell the Military Affairs Office that Yang Zhong will be the head of the 22nd Banner regiment, and you will be the chief of staff."

    After Chen Ziang put down the recommendation list, he said to Yang Zhong, who was with him, and Zheng Song, the aide who was standing there.

    "ah?"

    After hearing Chen Ziang's words, Zheng Song's face was full of astonishment, and Yang Zhong was overjoyed after being stunned for a moment.

    "Why, don't you want to?"

    After seeing the expressions of the two, Chen Ziang couldn't help but cursed with a smile.

    "Thank you, General!"

    Yang Zhong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

    "Thank you, General!" Zheng Song also said hastily.

    Now almost all the officers under Yuan Jie's command of the Second Corps were promoted from the 12th and 13th Banner Regiments.

    Especially Tian Changjie and Wu Sen of the newly formed 20th Banner Regiment and the 21st Banner Regiment are both from the 12th Banner Regiment.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang asked Yang Zhong and Zheng Song to be in charge of the newly formed 22nd Banner Regiment this time, because he did not want the Second Corps to become monolithic, which would be detrimental to his control over the troops.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
