When the ministers of the court were anxious about the situation in the upstream and downstream of Jiankang, the new assassin Shi Gaochi in Jiangzhou had already actively deployed defenses.

"General, Yuan Zhen's army has crossed the river in Xisaiji, and it will be half a day later." In the Jiangzhou Military Mansion, Gao Chi's deputy general Tian Zigeng said.

"How many soldiers did he bring?" Gao Chi asked, turning to look at the map hanging on the wall.

"70,000 troops, and 20,000 soldiers and horses remain in Jingling, after all, he also has to guard against Dayan!" Tian Zi ploughed back.

"Okay, let's wait another day and let him cross the half-continent." Gao Chi said while looking at the map.

"General, this... Banzhou is the gateway to Jiangzhou, if Yuan Zhen is allowed to occupy it, then Jiangzhou is in danger! Tian Zigeng frowned, looked at Gao Chi in disbelief, waiting for the coach to give him an understanding.

"Zigeng, I already have arrangements, you just have to do what I tell you. I will not let Jiangzhou lose! Gao Chi turned his head and looked at Tian Ziplough calmly.

Tian Zigeng hesitated, but still nodded heavily, as a deputy general, his only mission is to obey the orders of the main general, he has followed Gao Chi for so many years, he should trust him.

So Tian Zigeng glanced at Gao Chi a few times, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

As Gao Chi expected, the next evening, Yuan Zhen's army had already set up a large camp outside Banzhou City. In the Chinese military tent, a group of generals are deliberating.

"General, now that there is no movement in Jiangzhou, can it really be stationed in Xunyang City without blood?" Ling Heng, a general under Yuan Zhen's command, said.

Another general also asked, "General, are we going to enter Banzhou tomorrow?" ”

Yuan Zhen held one hand on the desk, squinting slightly, thinking.

Sima Taichu of the General's Mansion said: "General, I will build yì, tomorrow the first army is here, send a strong army to investigate the situation, if Banzhou and Xunyang are not ready for battle, then we will drive straight into the Jiangzhou General's Mansion again." ”

Yuan Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked outside the tent, thoughtfully,

.........At this time, a soldier outside the tent quickly ran in, knelt on the ground, and said: "General, the scout has to be reported, and the people in Banzhou City are panicked and uneasy. ”

As soon as his voice fell, Yuan Zhen couldn't help but be happy,

"Is there any news of the sun?" Tae Chu asked.

"There was a fierce quarrel in Xunyang City, Yin Hong's old generals had a conflict with Gao Chi, and Yin Hong's generals had already led their troops to Banzhou, wanting to fight with our army." The soldier replied.

Yuan Zhen smiled, "Okay! If Xunyang is too quiet, General Ben is really not at ease! In this way, tomorrow we will meet Yin Hong's old department first. ”

However, at this moment, in the General's Mansion of Xunyang City, Gao Chi stood in the main hall, angry and angry, "Bastard! He turned his back, trying to suppress his anger.

The soldiers below did not dare to come out, and Hao Zhanwei, Yin Hong's confidant just now, did not obey Gao Chi's command, and in a fit of anger, he took Yin Hong's old troops to Banzhou to stop Yuan Zhen.

Gao Chi, who was silent for a while, waited for his anger to subside a little, then turned to face the generals and ordered carefully: "Generals, now that General Hao has faced the battle, it is bound to anger Yuan Zhen, it seems that this battle is inevitable, and the generals will obey the order!" ”

All the soldiers in the main hall stood up, "Here! ”

"General Xu led 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xunyang City, and ambushed on the hill in the south of Xunyang City, without the general's order, he must not go to war!"

"Order!" Xu Liang arched his hand and replied,

"General Guo!"

"The last general!"

"You take the general's order, go to Yangxin in the starry night, there are 15,000 soldiers and horses in ambush, you follow behind the Yuan army, and after Yuan Zhen's army enters Banzhou, if you see the Qinglong Banner on the wall of Banzhou, you can lead your troops to surround Banzhou City."

"Order!" Guo Shoucheng's voice is thick and sonorous.

"The other soldiers will follow General Ben to guard Xunyang City!"

"Yes!"

But after Gao Chi finished speaking, the generals looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you,

After Gao Chi made the arrangements, he took a sip of wine, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he was surprised: "What's wrong with the generals, don't you hurry up and set up defenses!" ”

Xu Liang couldn't help but ask: "General, the soldiers and horses of Xunyang City have been guarded outside the city, General Yin Hong's old department has gone to Banzhou, and Banzhou should now have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and there are no more troops to dispatch in Xunyang City, how can the general personally get involved in danger?" ”

After Xu Liang finished speaking, all the generals looked at the main general in front of them with worried eyes. There are less than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiangzhou Yangtze River defense line, and now that it is divided internally, how can it resist Yuan Zhen's long-fought army?

Gao Chi glanced at the generals, taking their worries in his eyes, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he smiled: "Don't worry!" I'm not going to make fun of the people of Xunyang City. Everyone, please go back and prepare. Let's see us capture Yuan Zhen in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes!" After hearing this, the general no longer hesitated, and then rushed out. Only the deputy general Tian Zigeng was still by his side.

"General, don't we care about General Hao?" Tian Zigeng asked out loud, after all, everyone is also a soldier in Jiangzhou, and he can't bear to see them go to death.

"Although Hao Zhanwei has an impulsive temperament, he is not a scheming person, he is not so easy to defeat, besides, let him taste Yuan Zhen's power, so as to stop his fiery temper and let him know what is the way to be a general." Gao Chi put one hand behind his back, walked down the steps slowly, and said as he looked at the thick night.

However, Hao Zhanwei really did not disappoint Gao Chi, and in the early morning of the second day, he was hot-tempered and actually rode alone to the front of Yuan's army camp to scold the war.

"Yuan Zhen, you are a Xiangyang puppet, you are not good at protecting the territory and the people, General Yin has no grievances and no enmity with you, you actually acted as a villain and sent someone to assassinate General Yin, you are a kingless and unrighteous person, come out and die quickly!" Hao Zhanwei held a spear in his hand, King Kong looked angry, and roared a few times, like a wolf and a tiger, which frightened some timid soldiers to tremble.

Yuan Zhen stood in front of the village, looking coldly at the majestic man below, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Who is in front of the wall?" Yuan Zhen asked.

"General Hui is the first powerful general under Yin Hong, Hao Zhanwei. I heard that he was brave and faithful, and he was brave. Tai Chu glanced at Hao Zhanwei, who was single-handed, and replied, thinking that such a general must be a good soldier with a copper head and iron arms on the battlefield who is not afraid of death. I couldn't help but have a little appreciation in my eyes.

"Humph! General Ben sees him as just a brave and unscrupulous person, not enough to worry about! Yuan Zhen looked disdainful, turned his head and returned to the account, and all the generals entered the account with him.

"Which general is willing to fight with that mountain horseman?" Yuan Zhen asked, with eyes like a leopard.

"The last general is willing to go and take that child's life!" A mighty tiger will come out to answer the road.

"Good! General Xing, General Ben asked people to beat the drum for you! ”

"Order!" Xing Bin then withdrew from the tent and rode out of the village to meet Hao Zhanwei.

The gate of the village opened, and Xing Bin, with the same spear, drove towards Hao Zhanwei like an arrow on a black horse.

"Who's here?" Hao Zhanwei broke through the air with a long voice.

"You don't deserve to know, take it!" Xing Bin clamped his legs around the horse's belly, held a spear in both hands, and stabbed at Hao Zhanwei.

Hao Zhanwei glared angrily, his body fell on the horse's back, and he dodged, and then the two fought for several rounds, but there was no victory.

The war drums on both sides roared like thunder, and the soldiers outside Banzhou City shouted the slogan of "Avenging General Yin".

After half a cup of tea, Yuan Zhen sat in the tent, drinking wine, without looking up, and asked casually, "How is it?" ”

"Back to the general, the two have been fighting for more than ten rounds, and they still don't know." The guard replied.

Yuan Zhen still didn't look up, although he didn't take Hao Zhanwei in his eyes, but he was also a strong general under Yin Hong, and he didn't expect to be able to behead him in a while.

After a while, the guards shouted loudly outside: "Oh no, no, General Xing was stabbed by Hao Zhanwei's spear and has been captured by him!" ”

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he was a little incredulous, and immediately got up to check outside the tent, but saw that the soldiers of the opposite army were already smiling, "Yuan Zhen, you turtle grandson, you haven't come out to meet the battle yet, are you afraid of our general, haha... Ha ha. ”

Yuan Zhen looked at Hao Jun's extremely arrogant appearance on the other side, and was indignant in his heart, "Pass the order, the forward attack!" ”

"Order!" Yuan Zhen's forward general quickly descended from the village and gathered troops and horses to prepare for the attack.

"The Chinese army is ready to reinforce at any time, just with his little soldiers and horses, he can't help me!" Yuan Zhen looked ahead angrily, how could he be a dignified champion general, how could he bear the anger of these children.

Sima Taichu stood behind Yuan Zhen, he frowned slightly, wanting to dissuade, but he didn't speak, now the situation in Jiangzhou is weird, Gao Chi has not made any movement so far, only Yin Hong's old troops are fighting in Jiangzhou, is Gao Chi really surrendering or fake surrendering? But right now, this shape shì has to be sent on the string, no matter what, this half continent must be taken!

In the Jiangzhou military camp opposite, a soldier pointed to the camp of the Yuan army and said loudly: "General, you see, they are waving their flags, and they seem to be about to fight!" ”

"Good! General Ben is waiting for them! With that, Hao Zhanwei turned his horse's head to his men, he commanded an army to attack from the right flank, and an army to attack from the left flank, and he would lead an army to confront him head-on.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, Hao Zhanwei saw that the Yuan clan had already sent troops, and wanted to take advantage of them before they deployed troops, so he quickly attacked, so he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the time has come to avenge General Yin, rush!" ”

In an instant, the dust flew and the shouts shook the sky. The two armies soon fought together......
