"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 880
When Chen Ziang, the general of the Qinghe Army, took advantage of the death of Cheng Feng and others to further unite the hearts of the people, the rebels were not idle.
Especially after the rebel emperor Long Tian of Pingyang Province heard that Yang Hao had beheaded an important figure in the Qinghe Army, he was also in a particularly comfortable mood.
The life of the rebel army is not easy now, the two general treasuries are gone, and they are facing a two-front battle between the imperial court and the prairie wolf cavalry. There are emergencies and bad news everywhere, so that Long Tian is not in a good mood.
However, Yang Hao beheaded an important figure of the Qinghe Army in Dongjiang Province, which finally made him feel relatively better.
Even Long Tian didn't expect that without any logistical support, Yang Hao had a few ups and downs abruptly, and now he has become a major general with an army of 600,000.
Yang Hao was just an inconspicuous little person at the beginning, and he took refuge in Long Tian's command, but Long Tian didn't take it seriously.
But now Yang Hao has gone through some efforts of his own, and the rebel army under his command has become an integral part of the rebel camp that cannot be ignored.
Especially when Long Tian and his two general treasuries were lost, they now have an army of one million, but there is a serious shortage of food, fodder and supplies.
Fortunately, Yang Hao controlled many areas in Dongjiang Province. With Yang Hao's support, their life would be much easier.
It's just that Yang Hao has grown from a small commander to a major general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops.
In order to further win over Yang Hao, a general with a large army in his hands, Long Tian did not hesitate to reward him.
Soon Longtian sent his own imperial envoys to the territory of Dongjiang Province.
In addition to Long Tian's words of encouragement and praise to Yang Hao, this Chincha also brought substantial rewards.
Long Tian promoted Yang Hao, the leader of the rebel army, to the right marshal of the rebel camp, with full power to handle military and political affairs in the southern region, which can be said to have given Yang Hao great power.
Yang Hao was just a commander in the rebel camp at the beginning, but now he has suddenly become the right marshal, second only to the rebel general Li Kou and Chai Sheng of the Zhendong Army, and he can be regarded as the number three figure in the military.
Yang Hao was originally a member of the rebel camp. Facing Long Tian's reward, he readily accepted it. After all, he got all of this by his own hard work.
Although Long Tian really wanted to intervene in the affairs of Yang Hao's army, but he was worried that Yang Hao would be forced to another camp, so he didn't put people in Yang Hao's army, but only ordered the shadow guards to infiltrate secretly.
Long Tian's current life is very difficult, so on the one hand, he wooed Yang Hao in the hope of getting money and food support, and on the other hand, he hoped that Yang Hao would defeat the Qinghe Army and occupy the food-producing land in the southern region.
As long as Yang Hao's troops can defeat the Qinghe Army and occupy several southern provinces, their pressure will be greatly relieved.
At that time, they will have a strong army and abundant supplies of food and grass, and their chances of winning the battle for the world will be greatly increased.
? When the rebel base camp is now in a difficult situation, Yang Hao has become a living.
As long as Yang Hao's troops do something, it will be able to change the current situation of the rebels.
As a member of the rebel camp, Yang Hao is now canonized as the right marshal, so he naturally knows that there will be no eggs under the nest.
If the base camp is finished, he will be alone, so helping the base camp is also helping himself.
Fortunately, the navy of the Southern Army has now surrendered them, allowing them to barely control part of the Dongjiang waters.
?They were able to transport supplies to the rebel base camp from Dongjiang Province to the north, through Luyang Province controlled by King Ning.
But Yang Hao also knows that he has 600,000 troops under his command, and he has to support the base camp. It is far from enough to rely on Dongjiang Province alone.
Moreover, there is still the Qinghe Army in Dongjiang Province, which is their biggest threat.
Therefore, after being canonized as Marshal Right, Yang Hao also immediately convened a high-level military affairs meeting of the rebel army to discuss various matters.
Under the suggestion of Chief of Staff Wu Feng, the 600,000 rebels under Yang Hao were reorganized into six columns, which changed the chaotic management state within the rebels.
"Now we have strong soldiers and horses, but we don't have enough food and fodder, and the Jiangnan Province has more than enough food, so I decided to attack east!"
Yang Hao, an ambitious man, announced his next action goal at the meeting, which was to advance eastward and enter Jiangnan Province.
Because the Jiangnan Province is an area controlled by the Qinghe Army, under the governance of the Qinghe Army, both agriculture and industry and commerce have recovered to a certain extent.
In Yang Hao's eyes, Jiangnan Province is a piece of fat around his mouth, and he naturally wants to pounce on it and take a bite.
"If we want to attack and occupy the Jiangnan Province, the first thing we need to solve is the third army of the bandit army."
"The Third Legion of the Bandit Army has 100,000 elite soldiers, and has recently recruited a lot of troops, but in general, their strength is not as good as ours."
"As long as we can concentrate our forces, it will be enough to eat up the third army of the thief army."
"If the third army of the bandit army is finished, then our front will be unimpeded, and then go to Jiangnan Province to eat and drink spicy food!"
After hearing Yang Hao's words, the bloodthirsty rebel generals also became excited. They yearned for war and killing, because not only could they plunder a lot of money, but they could also get promoted and get rich.
"I decided to leave the fifth and sixth columns in charge of the first field army to contain the bandits in the west."
"The task of your two columns is not to wipe out the bandit army, but to stick to the towns and contain the bandit army."
Now to the west is the First Field Army led by Liu Yidao of the Qinghe Army. Yang Hao decided to send two columns of 200,000 troops to contain them.
"The first, second, third, and fourth columns of 400,000 people, led by me, will wipe out the third army to the east of the bandit army within two months, and then enter Jiangnan province!"
Yang Hao adopted the strategy of defending from the west and attacking from the east, that is, sending 200,000 people from the west to carry out defensive operations.
On the east side, he led the 400,000 main force to attack, hoping to destroy the third army of the Qinghe Army and complete the strategic plan to capture Jiangnan Province.
Following Yang Hao's strategic plan of defending from the west and attacking from the east, a large number of rebels were also mobilized.
Four columns of 400,000 rebels soon left the provincial capital of Dongjiang Province, marching eastward in mighty force.
The marching team of the rebels was like a long dragon. They crowded the provincial roads and made noise, like locusts crossing the border, and the villages and towns along the way were also wiped out.
The rebels did not conceal their strategic intentions at all, so when the rebels started their operations, the Qinghe Army also received the war warning issued by the Intelligence Investigation Institute immediately.
When he learned that the 400,000 rebels were rushing towards him, Yuan Jie, the commander of the Third Army of the Qinghe Army, also felt Alexander. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
