After Huang Weiyang led his army northward, he camped south of Wanjialing. It is eighty miles away from Huancheng in the north and one hundred and sixty miles away from Yuzhang City in the south. A low mountain range completely separates the Jiujiang Plain and the Yuzhang Plain.
Although Huang Weiyang chose to fight, he did not rush to catch up and confront Liang Jun head-on. After all, Liang Jun was victorious in the first battle and was at the peak of his vigor. He was sitting in a fortified city and could defend it with great danger, so he was at an advantage.
For the Sui army, offense in this battle is not as good as defense. At least they have to fight with Liang Jun in the field. After all, the cavalry is the Sui army's biggest advantage.
But this intention is not so easy to realize.
Zhang Xiu garrisoned in Huancheng, and it was clear that he wanted to watch Lin Shihong and the Sui army fight to death, and reap the benefits. At this time, without seeing any benefits, how could he turn around and head south?
Everyone thought hard and had no plan.
Huang Weiyang sat in the camp and asked Ling Jing what kind of person Zhang Xiu was. He felt that in order to find a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, he had to explore Zhang Xiu's character.
For the Sui army, they didn¡¯t know much about Xiao Liang, including all of Xiao Liang¡¯s generals.
Xiao Liang was able to develop so rapidly mainly because of the legacy of its ancestors. In an instant, it occupied dozens of counties in Jingxiang. It can be said that the people of Jingdi have won food and scenery.
But in contrast, Xiao Liang has not fought many hard battles, and he does not have a few well-known generals.
Ling Jing was in charge of intelligence work and had a better understanding of Xiao Liang's internal situation. At this time, he thought for a while and said: "Speaking of the Puppet Liang generals, the one with the highest status is Da Sima, Puppet Jin King Dong Jingzhen, but the military ability is the strongest It is the general and the puppet king of Qi Zhang Xiu.
Currently, within the Puppet Liang Dynasty, the Baling faction of Dong Jingzhen is the main military force, and the political control is in the hands of the Jingxiang family.
At the beginning, Dong Jingzhen's Baling faction supported Xiao Xian as emperor, including Dong Jingzhen, Lei Shimeng, Zheng Wenxiu, Xu Xuanche, Wan Zan, and Zhang Xiu, who were all crowned kings. But the first five people are all from Baling, while Zhang Xiu is from Mianyang. Therefore, although Zhang Xiu is an important general of the Baling faction, he is not a core figure.
Originally, due to Zhang Xiu¡¯s strength and status, he was not qualified to be crowned king within the Baling faction. However, after Xiao Mian became emperor, in order to check and balance Dong Jingzhen, he vigorously promoted Zhang Xiu and appointed him as a general to check and balance Dong Jingzhen.
Zhang Xiu reciprocated the favor and completely fell in love with Xiao Mian, competing against Dong Jingzhen.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? He conquered many times, and all the land south of the Yangtze River was acquired by this man. Even the land south of Lingnan, some chiefs were afraid of his power and sent envoys to ask Xiao Mian to surrender. It can be said that more than half of Xiao Mian's territory was conquered by him. of.
Dong Jingzhen was ignored by Zhang Xiu and had the title of Grand Sima, and all the military power fell into Zhang Xiu's hands. Later, in anger, he went to Changsha, and Zhang Xiu became more powerful. "
Huang Weiyang frowned even more when he heard this.
Although Zhang Xiu is not well-known, it is obvious that he is a moderately famous general in Jiangnan. Being able to use a small force to suppress a big one and force the boss to go out and get out of the way is impossible without some ability.
"What about Zhang Xiu?"
"You are arrogant and domineering!"
Hearing this evaluation, Huang Weiyang was stunned. Although most famous generals have different personalities, if a person is too exclusive and arrogant, it will be difficult for him to become a famous general.
Ling Jing continued: "This is Xiao Liang's internal evaluation of Zhang Xiu, which is a bit excessive. Zhang Xiu is not that tyrannical, but this person is extremely proud, arrogant, and has nothing left to do. He is quite a bit 'the boss of heaven and the second son of others'" 's posture. He usually has a bad relationship with his colleagues, and he doesn't show mercy to some of the Xiao clan that he doesn't like. Therefore, his reputation within Puppet Liang is not high. However, Zhang Xiu also knows his reputation and doesn't care. , I still go my own way."
Huang Weiyang's eyes lit up. He was not afraid that you had abilities, but that you had no shortcomings.
"I'm afraid he doesn't even like Xiao Mian!"
Ling Jing also laughed after hearing this: "It's really possible, but because of his character, many generals in the army are dissatisfied with him. Although Zhang Xiu is a general, Su Hu'er and Wen Shihong are Xiao Mian's people, and Zhou Faming himself As one body, King Zheng Wenxiu of Chu and Xu Xuanche, King of Yan, serve as deputy commanders in the army. They have always disobeyed Zhang Xiu and are ashamed of him."
Huang Weiyang suddenly said: "In this case, Zhang Xiu is sitting in Huancheng and waiting for our army to fight Lin Shihong. I am afraid he is also under tremendous pressure. After all, if our army breaks through Yuzhang City, Xiao Mian will be beaten hard, and Zhang Xiu will be beaten. Can you feel better if you embroider this initiator?"
"The prime minister has a clear warning!"
Huang Weiyang thought for a while and said, "Let's take two paths. Xiao Mian and Zhang Xiu are going to attack both sides. At the same time, we will use Xiao Mian to force Zhang Xiu to send troops.", while encouraging Zhang Xiu to send troops here. "
"But I'm afraid there won't be enough food!"
The food of the Sui army could not last more than a month. If they kept waiting like this, it was very likely that Zhang Xiu would not send troops, and Huang Weiyang's food would be exhausted.
"Then we will find ways to transport it from Wuyue."
Ling Jing was shocked. He was transporting grain from Wuyue to Yuzhang, which was thousands of miles away. If he didn't use water, he was afraid that he would have to transport one stone to eat three.
In an instant, Ling Jing felt Huang Weiyang's determination in this battle.
Huang Weiyang is determined to win this victory, and no one can stop him.
Although the plan is to attack from both sides, it is still somewhat difficult to implement it.
The main thing is who to send to do it?
Huang Mingyuan's influence and manpower within Xiao Liang are relatively inferior.
This time 75*zw.c o m Zhang Si. At this time, Wang Rongmao, who had surrendered to Huang Weiyang, recommended himself and asked to pretend to be an envoy from Lin Chu and go to Huancheng and Jiangling to persuade Zhang Xiu and Xiao Mian to send troops.
Since Wang Rong surrendered, Huang Weiyang has been keeping him with him to consult on Jiangxi military and political affairs.
Although Wang Rong was considered a senior figure within Lin Chu, since he surrendered, he devoted himself to working for the Sui Dynasty. Wang Rong knew very well that there were a lot of people with his status in the Sui Dynasty. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to perform meritorious service and receive rewards, he would be completely useless after the war in Jiangxi, and no one would remember him.
The best outcome for me is to be thrown into a random place and become a low-level official of the sixth or seventh grade until death.
Wang Rong realized the joy of power, how could he wish for this ending.
So when Wang Rong sees the opportunity, he can rush forward, even if it is easy to lose his head.
These days, Huang Weiyang has a good impression of Wang Rong. In his opinion, he is a smart person who understands current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, the matter is so big that it is difficult to evaluate Wang Rong¡¯s loyalty. Once he gets to Liang Jun and fully informs the Sui army of the situation, the battle will probably be even more difficult to fight.
Because neither Ling Jing nor anyone else agreed to send Wang Rong.
But Huang Weiyang was still a little hesitant.
Wang Rong then asked to see Huang Weiyang and said, "Please seek stability for the people of Jiangxi." Huang Weiyang praised him and was sent to Xiaoliang.
Huang Weiyang was not afraid of Wang Rong's betrayal. If he couldn't do it, he turned around and returned to Yuzhang City, defeated Lin Shihong, and held on to the danger without suffering any losses.
Control the big one and control the owl. It's just that Liang Jun's troops stationed in the city are like a knife hanging over his head. It's not that easy to defeat him again
