Jiang Pengji was irascible, and the audience in the streaming room was extremely disappointed.
They thought they would see a luxurious battleship that was comparable to an aircraft carrier in a historical drama, but —
Kuang Xia Moshi: What can this wooden boat be used for? The host has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here. It's impossible for them to disembark in one go with this kind of ship. They might need to do it in four or five waves. How long would it take to make a round trip? This kind of boat — is it a joke?
[Jiao]: "If I remember correctly, in the ancient history of our side, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were ships that could carry 3,000 people. Looking at the host's social background, it should be equivalent to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period? There's no reason for their shipbuilding skills to be so bad, right?
Space Drifting Bottle: "I think it's a geographical problem. After all, this place is closer to the north. Most of the battles are fought on land. There's not enough environment for water battles." It took a lot of money and effort to build a ship, and it was rarely used in battle, so there was no such thing.
Want to Find a Good Name Is Hard: "I saw the livestream earlier. The host said that Cangzhou has developed land and water routes, so there is a lot of business and the economy is very prosperous." Most of the ships on the river were commercial ships. Crossing the river was not a problem, but fighting in the water was not enough. It had only been a few years since they entered the troubled times, and Songhe had been occupied by the Meng family of Cangzhou for a long time. There seemed to be no wars, so how could they prepare so many military ships?
The audience expressed their opinions. The boats were fine for crossing the river, but it was too difficult for them to fight in the water.
Many of the audience members were thinking even further. They had yet to conquer Cangzhou, but they were already thinking about the complicated waters of the south.
Beibi Baobao: "Why don't you cross the river at the narrowest point?"
Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows in deep thought. Feng Zhen pointed at the topographic map on the table.
"The Gorge River in the middle and lower reaches of the Song River. The river here is wide and the water is gentle. Why don't we take a detour to cross the river here and attack Cangzhou in a roundabout way? There are many crossings here, there should be enough boats for our army to cross the river. " At this point, Feng Zhen furrowed his brows. His eyes flashed and he said meaningfully, "Furthermore, Gorge River is adjacent to Haozhou and Chenzhou. The terrain is excellent. If my Lord chooses this place, in the future … "
They could attack Cangzhou in advance and plot against Chenzhou in retreat.
As for why Feng Zhen didn't choose to cross the Pine River at its narrowest point?
The Song River was rapid, and the narrower the place, the stronger the current. Who knew how many submerged reefs were hidden at the bottom of the river.
If one used this kind of boat to cross the river, the possibility of success was basically zero. The boat would capsize before the person could even reach the shore.
Feng Zhen was a playboy. Not only did he have a wild personality, but he also had a big appetite.
He wanted both Cangzhou and Chenzhou!
Jiang Pengji squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like."
Feng Zhen understood.
"My lord, are you worried that Prefecture Overseer Huang is also thinking of starting from Gorge River?"
"I'm not worried. He'll definitely do that." Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Bogao also has his own thoughts."
After a while, she smiled and said, "Bogao has helped us block the Meng family of Cangzhou for nearly a year. If he chooses to go through the river gorge, how can we compete with him? What's more, the Meng family of Cangzhou came for me. Bogao's willingness to help was out of kindness, but his refusal to help was part of his duty. Instead of damaging the alliance between the two sides, it's better to take the initiative — we'll go around the upper reaches of the Pine River, this way we'll have less pressure. "
Feng Zhen did not speak, but the others in the tent understood Jiang Pengji's intentions.
She seemed to be retreating, but in fact, she was advancing by retreating. Huang Song wanted Chenzhou, so she gave it to him.
However —
Cangzhou was under the control of the Meng family, so Huang Song should not even think about touching it.
Meng Heng said casually, "If we go around the upper reaches of the Pine River, the pressure on our army to transport food will be reduced."
Jiang Pengji's forces were concentrated in the north, so they basically relied on land to transport food.
If they went by the river gorge, they would have to go south along the Pine River, which would cause the logistics to take too long to transport food. It was highly likely that they would be intercepted by the enemy.
When the forces in the north fought on the water, they not only competed with the resources of both sides, but also with the logistics.
If the logistics could not keep up, the main force of the vanguard would enter the enemy's territory alone, and they would not be able to return.
On the contrary, if they went around the upper reaches of the Pine River, that would be Jiang Pengji's northern territory, and the transportation of food would be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
Meng Heng said in a low voice, "Moreover, the river gorge is closer to the south, where the climate is humid and there is a lot of mud in the shallow waters. It's easy for the troops to adapt to the climate, and if they are unlucky, they may even contract diseases. Although the river gorge has its terrain to worry about, it is of little value to my lord. "
Jiang Pengji's goal was to annex Cangzhou.
If she could get Cangzhou, she would have two places that were rich in warhorses, which would be of great strategic significance.
In comparison, Chenzhou, with its flat terrain and abundant resources, was not as attractive to her.
Feng Zhen understood the crux of the matter. He looked at Meng Heng with admiration, not the slightest bit unhappy that his suggestion had been rejected.
"Once we take Cangzhou, my lord can then plot to conquer Langya, Hejian, Gaoyi, and other counties. You will be able to connect the entire northern territory, and you will have the momentum of a whale swallowing a tiger. It is also possible that you will be able to conquer the world. "When Meng Heng said this, his tone was calm, but the content of his words could not help but make people excited.
Compared to the small profits at hand, it was better to take a long-term view and make strategic arrangements.
For Jiang Pengji, Cangzhou was more important than Chenzhou.
If she did not take Cangzhou, when Huang Song took Chenzhou and then encroached on Cangzhou's territory, Jiang Pengji would be forced into a passive state.
After a round of discussion, everyone had a plan in mind.
The audience was confused. Although they didn't quite understand, they understood one thing — —
Yuntian Weeping Rain: "The two families are still in an alliance, but the streamer has already started scheming against Huang Song? Poor baby Huang Song.
Meeting a two-faced friend, he did not die an unjust death. "
Jiang Pengji's lips curled into a cold smile.
She schemed against Huang Song while the alliance was still in place?
He also schemed against her, so she just returned the favor.
She was a traitor, so there was no need to talk about morality and righteousness!
Just as Jiang Pengji expected, after receiving the news that Cangzhou's reinforcements had arrived on the other side of the Song River, Huang Song suggested to her to split up and cross the river.
Jiang Pengji took the initiative to suggest leading the troops north along the Song River, while Huang Song wanted to lead the troops south along the Song River and attack Cangzhou from the north and south.
Regarding this arrangement, both armies had no objections.
In order not to arouse the enemy's suspicions, the two armies withdrew overnight.
As for Hanchang Pass?
Huang Song left some troops there and rearranged the arrangement, in case the Meng family of Cangzhou "besieged Wei to rescue Zhao".
Before the army withdrew their camp …
Huang Song expressed his feelings and said to Feng Jue, "Don't you want to go and take a look? It's good to say a few words. If we miss this opportunity, we may not have another chance in the future. "
Huang Song was suspicious by nature, but he was also sincere to those he truly trusted.
Feng Jue had been working for him for many years and had meticulously schemed for him. How could he be indifferent?
Feng Jue's eyes darkened, and his tone was distant.
"There's no need. Second brother is not an indecisive woman. How can you not distinguish between public and private matters?"
Back then, during the earthquake in Shangjing, he had told Feng Jin —
When they met again, life and death were fated. There was no need to show mercy.
Although the Meng family of Cangzhou was annoying, the existence of this force balanced the relationship between Huang Song and Jiang Pengji.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Once there was no common enemy, internal strife was not far away.
Huang Song sighed softly, but this was not the only thing that worried him.
