Yucheng, busy with traffic, crowded with pedestrians, but behind it, there are also many secret agents, after the Liu brothers returned to Yucheng, every night, there are swords and swords.

Just when Liu Feng was busy rectifying internal affairs and dealing with secret agents, Shannan Xidao, Liangzhou, and Nanzheng.

Nanzheng is bordered by the Han River in the north and Yiba Mountain in the south, and has always been a battleground for soldiers and armor, but after several wars, Nanzheng, which was not very prosperous, has almost become a ruin.

Fragments of building ruins were piled up on the streets of Nanzheng City, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell, as long as anyone who had been on the battlefield knew what it was.

However, Nanzheng is a historical place, and it is Shu in the Spring and Autumn Period; During the Warring States Period, Nanzheng belonged to Qin at the beginning of the year, "Nanzheng of the Great Wall of Zuoshu", and the place name of Nanzheng was written.

But Nanzheng is a place where soldiers must fight, so everything in the war of Shannan and West Road, Nanzheng must be the first to bear the brunt, Shu, Tang and Han in order to compete for the "country of abundance", here many times to carry out a tug-of-war, and finally fight here barren.

In a small courtyard deserted in Nanzheng, there were several sergeants from Dashu, they were very vigilant, guarding the surroundings, in the courtyard, a general in full armor made a sad face on a broken stone, this person was Sun Hanshao, the envoy of Wuxin Jiedu.

"Ahem!"

"Ahem!"

Sun Hanshao looked like he was about to die, coughing constantly, he was originally a military general who could fight well, but now he is like this, if Sun Hanshao is said to be a general, he should also be a strong general, and there are only a handful of generals who can defeat the Khitan wolf cavalry in the north, and Sun Hanshao is one of these few people.

Sun Hanshao, who was quite reused by the Shu Emperor, has been committed to the Northern Expedition and touched the Central Plains, but his obsession led the war to his own home, Guo Wei quickly made arrangements after ascending the throne, and nearly half of the Zhou army went south, and there was no need to garrison the Great Zhou forbidden army in the north, which was undoubtedly terrifying.

Guo Wei concentrated the main force in Liangzhou, led the army more personally, and launched a fierce attack on Liangzhou. After a fierce battle, the Huaixi army successfully conquered Liangzhou and killed the Jingzhao Yongxing Jiedu envoy, and then the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and the Hedong Army pursued and attacked the Wuxin army with the momentum of victory, putting him in a dangerous situation.

Liangzhou's Chuxian, Baocheng, and Luoyang line have all been captured by the Great Zhou army, and the Great Zhou forbidden army is about 200,000 yuan, but the Wuxin army is only about 50,000, but Nanzheng can not be lost, once Nanzheng is lost, the door of Shu will be wide open, Sun Hanshao has to pull down the sergeants under his command, all pull down Nanzheng to defend it.

But what made Sun Hanshao anxious was that the letter for help had already been sent, but he didn't see half of the reinforcements coming, he had already made up his mind to fight Guo Wei to the death, after all, at the beginning of the Great Zhou, if he fell into the quagmire of war, Guo Wei's prestige in the Great Zhou was bound to be much weaker.

As long as he can resist in Nanzheng for a few months, Guo Wei will eventually withdraw his troops, and he will still have a chance to breathe, but it backfired, Shannan Dongdao Jiedu made Zhang Qianzhao actually surrender, and the Hedong Army suddenly controlled Xiangzhou and suddenly controlled Shannan Dongdao, which means that Nanzheng has become a lonely land, and the door to Shu has been opened.

Guo Wei didn't move, but his movement was amazing, in less than a month, he broke two in a row, and Sun Hanshao was secretly amazed by Guo Wei's generosity.

Sitting on the broken stone slab, Sun Hanshao had a thousand thoughts wandering in his heart, to give up Nan Zheng or not?

To defend or not to defend, to fight or not to fight, such a choice kept appearing in his mind.

In fact, in his heart, he has analyzed the current situation very clearly, after the Great Zhou Forbidden Army conquered Liangzhou, the morale was high, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the combat effectiveness was greatly improved.

But if Nanzheng City is abandoned, this last pass, the land of abundance, will be trampled under the iron hooves of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, which is what Sun Hanshao cannot accept.

Wu Xinjun has fallen into a desperate situation, unable to retreat or defend.

Sun Hanshao, who had been silent for a long time, saw that the sun was already in the west, and said slowly: "Yin Cheng!" ”

A white-faced person stepped forward with him, "Envoy, what are your orders?" ”

Sun Hanshao asked expressionlessly, "Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" ”

The relatives were stunned for a moment, and replied with an embarrassed face: "I have replied, there are five thousand Sword South Dao sergeants, who are coming!" ”

When Sun Hanshao heard this, his green tendons were exposed, and he wanted to get up and drink something, but then he sat down on the gravel slab again.

5,000 sergeants! Even if there are 50,000 more soldiers, Sun Hanshao is still very clear about the little family background in Dashu, and the elite can be regarded as his Wuxin Army.

They still don't know how to fight, let alone such a tough battle, if these 5,000 soldiers arrive, it will be good if they don't cause chaos to the Wuxin army, and send them to the battlefield, Sun Hanshao won't think about it so much.

Seeing that Sun Hanshao was a little disheartened, the entourage whispered and comforted: "Envoy, the Great Zhou army has been fighting for many days, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, but they have also lost a lot of troops in the past few days, as long as we hold on for a few more days, the Great Zhou may retreat!" ”

This personal follower has been following Sun Hanshao for a long time, and he knows the character of his own envoy well, and when he saw Sun Hanshao showing some discouragement, he hurriedly tried his best to comfort him.

Sun Hanshao was still pondering, not knowing how to think.

The attendant shouted softly, "The envoy ......"

Sun Hanshao slowly opened his eyes and said "um".

"Where are the 5,000 sergeants going to be arranged?"

When Sun Hanshao heard this, he sneered and said casually: "Let's settle in the city first!" ”

While speaking, a Wuxin general walked into the small courtyard, and Sun Hanshao Shi Shiran got up, because when he saw the general's face and the blood stains on his body, he knew that the battle situation ahead was unfavorable.

Sure enough, the general bowed down and said in a deep voice: "The Great Zhou Forbidden Army will be in Nanzheng in a few days, and General Li will send the last envoy to consult the envoy, how should I act?" ”

General Li is a veteran of the Wuxin army, more than half a hundred years old, but old and strong, quite Huang Zhong, Yan Yan's bravery, he was Sun Hanshao's general, but Sun Hanshao saw him, brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful, so he let him lead an army alone, and fight with him in the north and south.

When Sun Hanshao heard this, a wry smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth, and he was about to complain, but in the end he held back, the more tense the war, the calmer he was, this is the true nature of the general, and after waving his hand to send it away, he fell into contemplation again.

Then please entourage aside, and said softly: "Envoy, you can't give up Nan Zheng so easily, no matter what, you have to resist!" ”

Seeing that Sun Hanshao was indifferent, he said quietly: "One blow, then decline, three exhaustion, the Great Zhou army will not always be so overwhelming!" ”

Sun Hanshao asked his relatives suddenly, "Jing Chu Ma Yin has made any recent moves?" "Since the Great Zhou Army can't be repelled and the predicament in front of you can't be solved, just divert your attention.

When the relatives heard this, their eyes were happy, and they immediately replied: "Back to the army, Ma Yin is reorganizing the army in Tanzhou!" ”

Sun Hanshao said: "The Great Zhou soldiers took Shannan Dongdao, and he began to get nervous!" ”

"That must be the fact that the Great Zhou army is so strong, and it is only a matter of time before the army takes Jing Chu!"

"If the Great Zhou captures Nanzheng, will the next step be to continue to go south to Shu, or will the army take Jingchu?" Sun Hanshao seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be asking his relatives.

Then please rolled his eyes, but he didn't answer, and looked away as if nothing happened.

Jingchu and Shu in general, especially Ma Yin, adopted the strategy of "serving the Son of Heaven and serving the people below", did not raise troops, protected the territory and the people, and rarely took the initiative to fight foreign wars, develop agriculture internally, and reduce taxes for the people.

Jing Chu has been peaceful for more than ten years, but this is an era of war, if there is no strong military force to defend the homeland, it is fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

Unconsciously, the small courtyard fell into silence again, the sky and the earth were very quiet, and the moonlight did not know when it shone in the courtyard.

The sky gradually darkened, looking at the horizon, it became more and more dark, the wind and snow were coming, the two armies were fighting, but the wind and snow were for the side defending the city, providing some convenience.

With the will of heaven, Wu Xinjun may be able to stay in Nanzheng for a few days, but what about a few days later? What will it be like?

"Heaven will not die, and I will too!" Sun Hanshao, who had always had a calm face, suddenly showed a strange smile.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and several military generals rushed in, Sun Hanshao looked at the endless sky very seriously, ignoring the military generals who entered the courtyard.

After a while, Sun Hanshao asked calmly: "How many reinforcements and the defeated soldiers are there?" ”

A veteran among the generals thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "About 16,000 people!" ”

Sun Hanshao slowly stood up from the broken stone slab, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he intended to love people, "Sixteen thousand!" He muttered in a low voice, the number was beyond his expectations!

glanced at the veteran appreciatively, clenched his fists tightly, and said word by word: "Success or failure, in one move!" ”

The veteran pleaded: "Do you want to repair the city immediately?!" He led his troops to Nanzheng, but he did not see Wuxinjun repairing the city, so he admonished at this moment.

Sun Hanshao shook his head and said, "No, pull out the camp and go to Yangzhou!" ”

The generals were all stunned when they heard this, but they didn't dare to admonish again, and they were all silent.

Yangzhou is in the northeast, only three hundred miles away from Jingzhao, skipping the Qinling Mountains, you can go straight into the three towns in the northwest of the Great Zhou, if the Wuxin army abandons Nanzheng and ignores it, and runs into the territory of the Great Zhou, it is bound to burn the flames of war in the territory of the Great Zhou.

It is indeed necessary to admit that Sun Hanshao is bold and will have such courage, I am afraid that Guo Wei never thought that Sun Hanshao would be so desperate to fight with him, if he taught Wu Xinjun and entered the territory of the Great Zhou, Guo Wei's move to destroy Shu would be a little more than worth the loss.

The generals did not say anything, that is, they saw Sun Hanshao's determination, if anyone questioned it at this time, it was given Sun Hanshao a place to establish authority, they all understood Sun Hanshao's character, and the personality of not giving up until the goal was achieved, which determined that Wu Xinjun had no other choice.

The retinue whispered, "Envoy, give the order!" ”

Sun Hanshao had already regained his coldness, and said in a deep voice: "All the troops can pull out the camp, rush to Yangzhou in the starry night, and within three days, you must arrive, and those who fall behind will not be forgiven!" ”
