Chapter 947

"Official family, official family, urgently report in front of the battlefield!"

"I will be here soon!" Zhao Bing was shocked when he heard the cry and sat up.

"It's still early in the official family!" Wang Yu rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. It was still pitch black and she said in a daze.

"If there is an emergency military situation, you can't delay it!" Zhao Bing lifted the quilt and kissed Wang Yu's face.

"Official family, please change your clothes!" At this time, a candlelight flashed, and a maid heard the sound, came in and lit the candlesticks in the house one by one and asked.

"You guys let go, I will serve the official family to dress!" Wang Yu also stood up and said.

"No need, I can do it myself. It's still early, so you can sleep for a while!" After a pleasant moment, the lazy beauty under the candlelight was even more fascinating, and Zhao Bing could only swallow her saliva and let her lie down and pull her onto the quilt and say.

"When will the official family come back? I'm waiting for you!" Wang Yu was also sore all over, nodding with a shy face and chuckled.

"Okay, be good!" Zhao Bing patted his face, turned around and got out of bed with a cruel heart. He felt sad in his heart that this was really a little fairy, which made him addicted to it and it was difficult to extricate himself. However, he did not know that before the girls got married, someone would educate them before marriage. Teaching aids were often colored pictures so that they would not be too panic. There would often be a set of treasures in the box when they got married. After entering the palace, there would be female officials who would specially train the selected concubines and teach the art of pleasing the emperor. Unfortunately, he was stupid and thought that they were born with charm!

The urgent report was not enough night, which was the rule set by Zhao Bing when he was in Qiongzhou. At that time, he had few soldiers and had no strategic depth. The enemy would come under his nose when he appeared, so it must be dealt with in time once there was an enemy situation. After recovering Jiangnan, his anxiety still did not subside. Although the area was not as narrow as Qiongzhou, the danger still did not go far away. There was only one Yangtze River in the north of Lin'an, and the east was closely connected to the sea. If the enemy broke through these two natural barriers, Lin'an would have no danger to defend.

On the other hand, there is no radio in this era, and information transmission also requires manpower and horsepower. Even if the distant border areas are sent to Lin'an at the fastest speed, it takes at least two to three days, or at most ten days, and it is affected by the weather and road traffic conditions. Therefore, the battle report sent to Zhao Bing was many days late, and the situation on the battlefield often changes rapidly. When he received the news, the war often began. The news here has been lagging behind for many days. When the response is made, the situation has changed.

Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that the sooner he could get the news, he could make decisions as soon as possible and put them into practice. He knew that the opportunity for the fight was fleeting, and sometimes even if he fought for it or wasted half a day, it could change the outcome of a war. Such an urgent report could not be heard overnight was brought to Lin'an. The soldiers guarding the city should not stop the postmen or military soldiers who conveyed the urgent report. The people and officials should give way.

Even if you cannot open the city gate at night, you can hang the postmen to the top of the city and send them to the palace. After verifying their identities, the guards guarding the palace will immediately send the emergency report to the officers on duty at the guard camp, and then review it again and hand it to the eunuch who is only separated by one door, and they will deliver it to the emperor so that they can see the situation ahead as soon as possible so that they can deal with it on the spot.

"The official family, the young one has already verified it. It was a war report sent by Tong Dutong." Wang De had already lit a candle and immediately presented it to the emperor when he saw the emperor coming out.

"Yes!" Zhao Bing took the candlelight and saw that the sealed fire seal was intact, without any traces of dismantling it. The mark was Dong Yicheng's private seal. I looked at it carefully this time.

"Follow me!" Zhao Bing frowned and stood up, walked to the combat room in the back hall. Wang De hurriedly turned on the candle in the room one by one.

‘Swish!’ Zhao Bing walked to a sand table, took the mask, put it on the stage, marked the latest position of the enemy and me according to the battle report, and then fell into deep thought. Wang De knew that the little emperor must not disturb him at this time, and stood on the side and did not dare to breathe, nor did he dare to ask.

In fact, what Dong Yicheng sent was a new combat plan. His first naval fleet quickly seized the estuary of the Huaihe River according to the plan and blocked the Goryeo army outside the sea. Although there was no major war between the two armies in the past few days, there were constant small-scale conflicts. They were repelled on several tentative attacks, sinking six enemy warships and capturing three, which was considered a small victory.

After trial, Dong Yicheng learned that the enemy fleet carried tens of thousands of naval troops to enter the inland from the mouth of the Huaihe River, then enter the canal, then turn into the Yangtze River, and attack Jiangnan. These confirmed their previous judgment, and he also found that the enemy lacked supplies and food could only last for five days. Therefore, he initially wanted to block the river estuary so that the enemy could not obtain supplies, forcing him to retreat to Mingzhou, and then annihilate the enemy to the sea during the pursuit.

Zhao Bing had no objection to his arrangements. If he would use the tactics of exhaustion to exchange for the greatest victory at the smallest price. You should know that the sea surface is many times larger than the river surface, and there are quite a lot of troops to block the sea estuary. Moreover, the warships dispatched by Dong Yicheng's troops were all large and medium-sized warships, with only more than 400. If he launched a rash attack, he would probably put a duck out, and there would inevitably be a gap in the defense line. If the Koryo Navy took advantage of the rising tide, although it would pay some price, it would still escape.

However, Dong Yicheng recently discovered that the Mongol Yuan Hui navy appeared at the mouth of the sea. Although there was no conflict between the two sides, he suspected that he wanted to join forces with the Goryeo Navy to attack him and connect the Goryeo Navy to enter the Huaihe River. Therefore, he wanted to adjust his combat plan and wipe out the two enemy navy forces at the sea, thereby defeating the enemy's attack on his side.

According to Dong Yicheng's re-adjustment plan, he planned to concentrate most of his troops to launch an attack on the Koryo Navy offshore, and only left a small number of warships at the mouth of the Huaihe River to set up defense lines, giving Chen Bing the Mongol Yuan Hui navy the Huaihe River a chance to lure them into and out of the sea. After the Hui navy entered the outer sea, he sent an ambush to re-block the sea entrance, thereby cutting off the enemy's way back and fighting the enemy at sea.

Zhao Bing had no objection to this plan. First of all, from the current deployment of enemy troops, he did not find that after he launched a series of harassment wars, he forced Boyan to give up the south invasion plan. At present, the main force of his Yangtze River naval army was concentrated in Poyang Lake. The enemy's middle army was unable to do anything without the tools to cross the river, and at most it could only play a restraining role.

Furthermore, in Ezhou, Xiakou and Hanyang at the mouth of the Han River have completed the construction of cities, built forts in the Jiajiang River, set up obstacles in the river, arranged mines, and blocked the entire river surface. If the enemy wants to go down the Han River, they must first capture the two cities. The two cities are opposite to Ezhou, which is convenient for sending troops to reinforce. There will never be a situation where Xiangfan and the two cities were besieged.

Therefore, Zhao Bing judged that Boyan had pressed Bao on the eastern section of the battlefield. It can be said that most of the Mongol Yuan naval forces were concentrated here, and after the Goryeo naval forces joined, the force could reach 200,000. Once they successfully crossed the river from this section, they could quickly go straight along the canal to Lin'an, which was unpreserved, and recapture the most prosperous Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Even if they were eventually driven out, they could meet the temporary needs and alleviate financial difficulties after a robbery.

Therefore, as long as the Mongol Yuan naval army is wiped out, the counterattack can basically be ended, and Boyan can only sigh at the river. Although he was unable to cross the river to attack the enemy, Zhao Bing was a little regretful, this was also the best choice at present. The big test is about to begin, so it can calm people's hearts and avoid panic, so that he has no reason to disagree no matter what aspect he considers.

"Wang De, tell Tan Fei immediately to send a group of guards to escort Ying Xi, who was in charge of the imperial court, to send the letter to the affairs bureau, and Fei Ge passed the letter to Zhang Hao!" Zhao Bing thought for a moment, then made some deductions on the sand table, picked up a pen and wrote an edict, asked Wang Dejia to stamp the seal, seal it, and said to him afterwards.

"You little one will do it yourself!" Wang De said.

"Well, let them change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers after leaving the palace. Be careful and don't be arrogant!" Zhao Bing reminded him again, waved his hand to let him do it, and he stared at the sand table and fell into deep thought.

"The official family has just passed the ugly moment. It's still early in the morning and I can still rest for a while." Wang De took the matter back and saw that the little emperor was still in the study and did not rest. He stepped forward to remind him.

"The battle is about to get up, I can't sleep anymore!" Zhao Bing stretched.

"The official family should not be too hard. Concubine Chen is still here!" Wang De said with a smile.

"Hmph, if Jiangnan is lost, nothing will be gone!" Zhao Bing couldn't hear any other point in his words, and turned his face and hummed. But he cursed in his heart, "What do you know, you are a dead eunuch, and you will never have a chance in your life, so you are still here to tease me!"

"What the official said is that the war in front of him is important, and it is not in a hurry." Wang De said with a smile.

"Wang De, is the ship in the lake still there?" Zhao Bing asked suddenly.

"Here, just hide behind the stone boat..." Wang De replied immediately, but realized something again, "The official family is going to leave the palace again, right?"

"This battle is of great importance, and I am really worried about having a few enemies!" Zhao Bing touched his chin and said.

"Official family, please spare the young ones!" Wang De felt nervous when he heard this, and said with a sad face, "If the official family disappears after dawn, let alone the empress dowager can't avoid the young ones, even the empress dowagers have to peel off the young ones. Besides, how can you explain to Concubine Chen!"

"What are you afraid of? You go with me. The imperial boat and the dragon boat are moored outside the water gate. We climbed the boat into the sea without knowing it. When they found out, I had already arrived at the outer sea, and no one could do anything to us." Zhao Bing patted Wang De's shoulder and smiled.

"The official family is not afraid, but what should I do when the young man comes back? The official family doesn't feel sorry for the young man, so it should feel sorry for the concubine Chen!" Wang De's face became even more bitter and begged. He knew very well that the little emperor was so uneasy that the situation ahead must be critical, so he thought of going to fight in person again. Not to mention that the emperor had a few shortcomings, even if he had a little skin, these empresses would not let him go.

"This..." Zhao Bing stammered and lost his temper. He understood that Concubine Chen was here to sleep with him and also to look at him. If he ran away secretly, his life would definitely not be easy, which would be too unreasonable. But the love between children and children cannot solve the problem, which really made him embarrassed.

"The official family, Deputy Commander Yang from the personal guard brigade who is on duty today, can't get out of the Water Gate even if he wants to take a boat." Wang De said softly.

"This guy will definitely not hide it for me!" Zhao Bing touched his chin again and said.

"Officials, this is God's will. Don't let the official take risks!" Wang De advised again.

"So how can I make Boyan believe that I want to lead reinforcements to the expedition?" Zhao Bing looked up and down Wang Deyan and said.

"Official family..." Wang De felt so distressed when he was seen by the little emperor, and he took a step back.

"Did a palace visit to the palace buy news?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Officials, although there are spies who offer high prices to buy news from Xiao Di, Xiao Di has never done such a thing!" Wang De quickly defended.

"I haven't said you've sold news, why are you panic!" Zhao Bing said, "I mean, have you ever discovered the news of people in the palace?"

"Official..." Wang De hesitated for a moment. This question was really hard to answer. If he had himself, the chief supervisor, would be a dereliction of duty. If he said that he had no, he would obviously not be able to pass the test. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is a small yellow gate in the palace. There may be a connection with the palace detectives, but no one has been caught. However, this person is just a low-ranking officer who manages chariots and horses, and he will not know any secret matters."

"Okay, then you will reveal some news to him tomorrow, saying that I will go to the Dantu to supervise the war soon, and ask him to ensure that the news will be spread as soon as possible, but remember to pretend to be leaked unintentionally, and don't let him realize something is wrong!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"The official, I understand, I will go to the chariot and horse courtyard tomorrow. But..." Wang De said. But when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. The little emperor deliberately leaked his whereabouts. Wouldn't he leaked the secret at the same time?

"Don't ask too much, just do it yourself. You will have a great success in the future!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

The combat plan formulated by Dong Yicheng seemed perfect, but Zhao Bing still found a loophole, that is time. He knew very well that the wind direction and tides on the warships had a great impact. He just sent a letter to the Yuqian navy to ask him to sail overnight to support Dong Yicheng's troops, but the southeast wind is currently prevalent, and it is against the wind when it goes north. Even if it travels day and night, it may take nearly two days to reach the battlefield. This time, the Yuqian navy is used as a surprise weapon and has to hide its tracks, which will take longer.
