Zhang Xian achieved his goal, and Su Kan also achieved his goal.

The trip was worth it.

The so-called mental arts, if you can sit in the position of the king of the vassal states, you are all highly intelligent people;

Playing with power and mastering are different from ordinary people.

Therefore, Su Kan knew that it was a pit, but the situation forced him to jump in.

The two tacitly raised their glasses to each other, and then drank them all.

Su Kan didn't stay in Shunyi City for long, the matter was settled, and he hurried back.

He was busy in an eventful time.

In Sushan Kingdom, it is already very cold at the moment, and the climate there is ten and a half months worse than that of Shunyi City, because it is a plain, and the wind is also very strong.

At night, ice ballast has begun to form in the shallow waters near the shore of the Chen River.

The warships of the Xia army shuttled on the river, and the west bank of the Chen River was Shangchengguo, because Wu Yuehou withdrew all the Qin troops in Shangchengguo, and Shangchengguo had already existed in name only, and there were not many civilians left in their homes to escape the scourge of war.

It's hard to find people in a land of thousands of miles.

Therefore, the Xia army's navy army was even more rampant, while the Qin army was also far away from the river bank because of its long-range attack weapons, which were inferior to the Xia army.

Cheng Kai sat in the tent of the Chinese army with a gloomy face, and the generals and strategists didn't even dare to come out.

"You all talk about what you think. ”

After a long time, Cheng Kai's face softened slightly, slapped a spy report on the table, and tried to slow down to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads, and no one dared to touch their heads.

Wu Yuehou had already notified them when he withdrew his troops, but he did not give them clear instructions, and all the strategists advised Cheng Kai to also take the opportunity to withdraw to Kancheng, but Cheng Kai did not accept it, because he was unwilling, with his 400,000 horses, although he could not advance, he was still sure that he could keep the dozen cities that had been defeated.

He is now full of materials, and the grain and grass materials that he has captured more than a dozen cities in Sushan State are enough to last for a winter, as long as he captures Yicheng in the northwest, he will be able to face Liangcheng, a border city of Qin in Jiangxi, across the river.

This section of the Chen River is garrisoned by the naval army of the Suli State, and the naval army of the Suli State was originally very strong, but it was disabled by the warrior Zhang Xian a few years ago, and had to retreat into the inland river, so the naval army of the Suli State is now very weak, and they are all warships that can only travel on the inland river, and the largest is much smaller than the medium-sized warships of the Xia National Naval Army.

As long as Yicheng is taken and the border army of Liangcheng is contacted, the Suli naval army is not afraid, as long as it is deterred, the Suli naval army is afraid to retreat into the inland river.

The abacus played very well, but for some reason, the allied army of Suli and Sushan, which had always been weak, turned out to be strong, and he sent the strongest 30,000 mountain army, but it failed to advance for thirty miles, and even encountered a counterattack, losing more than 10,000 people.

This puzzled him.

Originally, he did not plan to expand to the north of Sushan, but now he wanted to attack but met with stubborn resistance.

Soon after, he received a spy report that an unidentified armed force in black and black armor had appeared there, and it was they who had sent him to capture the Yicheng people and defeat them, causing them heavy losses.

Then he received another spy report that the army of Xia Guo was coming.

Moreover, the Xia State Navy blocked the river road, and their retreat was cut off.

This is definitely the worst news.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, his face was gloomy again, and he had a heart attack, but at this critical moment, he felt that it was better to stabilize the army's heart, so he held back.

He turned out of the table and came to the map.

"It seems that it is somewhat difficult to attack Yicheng, to attack the interior of Sushan, I am afraid that it is difficult to make achievements, and it is no longer possible to retreat to Jiangxi, the current situation is that we are surrounded, if it is only the combined army of Suli and Sushan, I am not afraid, I am fully capable of keeping these dozen cities, but the Xia army came over two legions of 200,000 horses, with their combat power, our southern front can not resist at all, they are not those inferior soldiers of the two Sus, and their combat effectiveness is super strong.

I suspect that those black-clothed and black-armored armed forces in the direction of Yicheng are also likely to be the Xia army, if it is really the Xia army, then we are really dangerous, plus the butcher's army, the situation is extremely bad for us, I think the only way out now is to give up the city now, the army quickly went north, bypassing Yicheng and killing to the north by surprise, occupying the Niubi Mountains, entering can be attacked and defended, and can be connected with Liangcheng, and can get material supplies, this is the best policy, I don't know if there are any objections to the chat?"

Cheng Kai was able to have this idea, but in fact, after getting a letter, he made a decision after a night of contemplation.

This letter was sent by Bao Feng in Kunshan, showing him a clear way, and if someone else gave him this idea, he might not even bother to read it with his arrogant temperament.

Everyone knows Cheng Kai's temperament, so naturally no one objected.

Since there was no objection, Cheng Kai ordered the troops stationed in the cities to transport the supplies away first, and then withdraw the troops.

But after a night, bad news came from the south.

overnight upheaval;

The Xia army suddenly attacked.

Five cities were captured in one night, and almost all of the Qin army was annihilated.

"What?"

Just finished washing up and was about to have breakfast, Cheng Kai, who had set up camp and started the village, was shocked when he got the news.

Those who were able to escape were all the defenders of several cities, and they all lost their armor, stained their clothes with blood, and each of them was wounded.

"What's going on?"

It turned out that these generals defending the city received the order to retreat, and immediately ordered to sort out the materials and prepare to transport them away overnight, so positive, of course, they were also selfish, after all, these generals also took the opportunity to get a lot of benefits, for insurance, sent henchmen to go first in the baggage camp protected by a large army.

Because it is winter, in this season, the soldiers who have been on the expedition for such a long time are naturally very homesick, so when they hear that the army is going to be withdrawn, their minds are confused, and they lose the vigilance of the soldiers.

Just when the brigade of men and horses escorted the materials out of the city, the Xia army ambushed outside the city suddenly appeared, killed the army out of the city, and seized the city gate that was too late to close.

The city gate has been lost, and most of the army has left the city, there is no suspense in the battle, and the army out of the city is even more unobstructed, and was killed and scattered by the fierce Xia army.

Needless to say, Ling Weijun Ye Chenghai and Liu Ke cooperated tacitly, one is an excellent general, the other is the most outstanding military advisor in Xia State, it is not a problem to calculate the Qin army, and Song Xinna of the Northern Army is also a famous general, under the unified command of Liu Yong, he has already secretly besieged the five cities, just waiting for Zhang Xian to send an order.

As for the Black Flag Army, they sat on Zhang Yu's boat and maneuvered and interspersed on the Chen River.

I didn't expect Zuo Xuan and Zhang Yu to have a good temper, probably because they both like to kill.

Liu Yong held back his strength and wanted to gallop on the battlefield, but the Qin army was vulnerable, so he was very depressed and couldn't intervene.

Five cities have been lost, Cheng Kai's Chinese army was directly exposed in front of the Xia army, Cheng Kai looked solemn, waved his hand to drive away several defeated generals, as usual, these defeated generals will definitely be 、、、、、、、、、 by him
