When Han Luan returned to Daying to inquire, he learned that Jiaozhou City had just experienced a major battle a few days ago. Fortunately, the defenders of the city worked together and barely maintained the stalemate. But on the side of the Great Qi Imperial Court, on the one hand, it was facing the pressure of the army of Yang Su of the Great Zhou, and on the other hand, the army of Fenzhou Taishou Gao Zhan was also passing the pass and being the enemy of the imperial court. The emperor's old son, Gao Wei, was already frightened, and the capital was in danger of being lost, where could he send people to support Jiaozhou!

Of the 70,000 troops in Jiaozhou City, nearly half of them died, and the city walls were also very badly damaged. The guards Han Qing and Han Huo sent people to ask Han Luan for support several times, but they didn't get a response, no, Han Luan just returned to the camp, and his ass was still hot, and the people and horses calling for help here came again! Han Luan hurriedly ordered the army to raise the account, and not long after, two generals came in. Han Luan was furious and scolded loudly: "What about people? Are you all fucking going home to nurse the baby? ”

One of the generals, Liu Biao, said: "Han Shuai! Our battalion didn't bring many generals here, not to mention that Qin Xiaotian thief killed almost all of our generals in one go, how could there be any others! Han Luan suddenly realized, so it was, he hesitated for a while, and ordered: "Two generals, pass on my military order, all officers of the lieutenant and above will come to my account to discuss matters!" ”

Not long after the two retreated, the outside of the big tent was bustling and crowded with people, it was really easy to find a thousand troops, Han Luan walked out of the big tent, looked at the hundreds of captains with tears and laughter, waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "You have followed me for many years, and you must all know my personality!" Now that the military situation in Jiaozhou City is tight, tens of thousands of brothers are waiting for us to rescue, do you think we should go! ”

The crowd shouted in response, "Yes! Seeing that his morale was greatly boosted, Han Luan continued happily: "Even so, I will definitely not treat you brothers badly!" After the defeat of the Southern Army, everyone present will definitely be rewarded! Now I order, generals, to command the soldiers under your jurisdiction, tonight the third watch breakfast, the fifth watch departure, the art of war Fenglin ferry! ”

Everyone is confused, save Jiaozhou, why do you want to go to Fenglin Ferry? But the military orders of the marshal cannot be violated, and they all promise one by one. Fenglin Ferry, more than 100 miles away from the main city of Jiaozhou, is the only place for the southern army to land and attack Jiaozhou. Han Luan's move can be described as a derivative of encircling Wei to save Zhao, he did not directly rescue Jiaozhou, first, he was afraid that there would be ambushes on the road and had already prepared for it, and secondly, because he had insufficient soldiers and horses, there were almost no generals, except for his usual surprise attack tactics, it was really difficult to win.

On the one hand, he led the army to Fenglin Ferry to cut off the rear road of the southern army, and on the other hand, he ordered Liu Biao, hurry up, and inform the two generals of Jiaozhou City, Han Qing and Han Huo, to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and come to the end of the attack, the southern army will be defeated! After Han Luan re-bandaged his wounds, he put on armor and helmets, and set off with spears in his tent, commanding 20,000 troops, and went straight to the Fenglin Ferry. On the side of Jiaozhou City, Chen Batian sent people to scold day and night, but the two brothers Han Qing just didn't go out of the city to fight.

And go to attack the city by yourself, and suffer heavy losses, when you are worried, you never expect that a small foot came to report: "Report to the commander, there is movement in Jiaozhou City!" Chen Batian was so excited that he almost didn't fall off his seat, and happily ordered the generals to come and prepare to go out of the village to face the enemy! The 200,000-strong army was defeated against the 30,000 or 40,000 remnants on the frontal battlefield, which was what Chen Batian wanted to see the most. Some generals also reminded Chen Batian, thinking that there might be fraud, but Chen Batian couldn't listen to it and insisted on going his own way.

Chen Batian can also be regarded as the most effective general of the Southern Dynasty, but he has always been demoted. In the winter of this year, after Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang in Southern Liang, surrendered Hou Jing, a rebel general of Northern Qi, Hou Jing rebelled against Liang again, not only led his troops to capture Jiankang City, but also starved Emperor Xiao Yan to death in the city. After Xiao Yan's death, the country was in turmoil, and bandits were everywhere. Chen Batian, who was originally excluded from leading the troops, suddenly became the only person that the powerful people in the DPRK and China could rely on.

Quan Chen immediately wrote a letter of 10,000 words, inviting Chen Batian to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion. Chen Batian got this book of 10,000 words, like a long drought and a rain, and waved his army to Jiankang. He leveled Hou Jing in one fell swoop, and then fought dozens of battles to eliminate the bandits in the country one by one, save the building from the general, and pull the dying Nanliang back to the edge of the cliff. At this point, Chen Batian held the military power of the whole country, and his power was in full swing.

As a Confucian general, he will not blindly stay in Jiankang and order the world and spend his old age in peace. No, taking advantage of the chaos in the north, he led his troops through the Fenglin Ferry, wanting to come here to Jiaozhou to make a profit. It is also necessary to have a base area in the north and change the predicamentous situation in which the southern dynasties blindly retreated south of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that Chen Batian's idea is good, at least he is more ambitious than Xiao Yan, and he has a determination to dominate the world! When he came back to Jiaozhou City, he brought 200,000 troops, which shows his determination. You must know that the Southern Dynasty has a history of more than 100 years, and this is the first time that it has tried to cross the river to attack the city. Han Luan had already arrived at the Fenglin Ferry at this time, pinched the time, knew that the time was almost up, and burned all the grain and grass of the Southern Dynasty at the Fenglin Ferry, and then stepped up to attack Chen Batian's team.

Chen Batian was also happily arranging how to arrange troops to annihilate the Jiaozhou defenders in one fell swoop, and a messenger came from outside the tent, and the person who delivered the letter was full of wind and frost, embarrassed, and just entered the big tent and knelt down in front of Chen Batian, crying: "Handsome! Our food and grass are gone! All the boats at the Maple Grove Ferry were burned. Handsome... Chen Batian sighed in his heart and stopped moving, and before he could slow down, another spy came to report: "Report to the handsome!" An unknown cavalry appeared in the rear of our army, numbering more than 20,000 men, and was rushing towards us. ”

Chen Batian almost ran out of breath and went away. His body shook a few times, and he asked tremblingly, "And... How far away! The man hurriedly said, "It's too fast, I guess it's almost there!" As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion outside the tent, it turned out that Han Luan's army had been killed, they cut down when they met people, and burned the tent when they met them, and the camp of the 200,000 army was rushed to pieces, and suddenly the fire was in the sky, and the crying was everywhere.

Chen Batian also panicked, and the generals of the army hurriedly ran in, reported to Chen Batian, and said, "It's over!" Handsome! The army of 200,000 is over! Chen Batian clutched his chest, threw the pain, and ordered: "Withdraw!" Withdraw as much as you can! "Han Luan's troops are fighting, and Han Qing and Han Huo's troops are also killing in, attacking back and forth, and the southern army suddenly became like stragglers, scurrying around. After this battle, the southern army was killed and wounded, Han Luan captured 30,000, and the rest were all killed and fled.

Under the protection of everyone, Chen Batian ran to the riverside, looked back at the devastated camp, was sad in his heart, gritted his teeth, sighed, and took the villager's boat, crossed the Yangtze River, and returned to the Southern Dynasty. Han Luan's battle shocked the world, and even Wei Xiaokuan, who was at the level of the god of war, secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. He relied on nothing more than the lightning-like surprise attack of the cavalry, and the morale of the whole group.

When Shangguan Que heard the news, he couldn't be happier, the good apprentice he taught really lived up to expectations. The Yangtze River is not wide, it is not narrow, and for Chen Batian at this time, this section of the road is longer and more difficult than the road he took in the first half of his life. He stood at the bow of the boat, looking towards the north from time to time, his heart was lost, and he unconsciously remembered that Cao Mengde had also been defeated in Chibi back then, and he admired Cao Mengde in this life, but his fate was so the same. After Chen Batian returned to China in embarrassment, he lived a pampered life and never mentioned the Northern Expedition again. At this point, Chen Batian no longer had the strength to compete in the Central Plains, and the Southern Dynasty was also greatly injured and unable to compete with the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.

However, he still grasped the power of the DPRK, and the military and political power of the whole country can be said to be in his hands, and he named himself the prime minister, the great Sima, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and the king of Chen. Although the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Liang is the emperor, he is also in vain, and the actual power is in the hands of Chen Batian. After Han Luan became famous in the first war, he was greatly praised by Emperor Gao Wei of Qi, and named him the Marquis of Jiaozhou, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding all the soldiers and horses in Jiaozhou and Dingzhou, and ordered him to rush to the front line to assist Generalissimo Hu Luguang to resist the invasion of Yang Su of Zhou.

Han Luan finally got out of it, since he came to Jiaozhou, he had no chance to fight, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, who knew that this time it was a blessing in disguise, and after entrusting the matter of Jiaozhou Dingzhou, he took tens of thousands of cavalry to Kangzhou, and met with Marshal Hu Lujin to discuss the plan to counterattack Zhou.
