Two days later, Xi Zhicai personally led the main force of the army, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way into Zhuti City, and all the way into Hanyang.

After another day, the main force of the Dongzhou Army led by Huang Zhong and Zhang Ren, the Wuxi Barbarian Army, the Zhanhu Battalion, and tens of thousands of main forces rushed back from Qiqi, and successively occupied Yelang, Danzhi, and the main force entered Hanyang to join Mujing.

Soon after, Zhang Liao received news from the battlefield on the Western Front that Jingping's Third Army had occupied Yuewang Beishui.

By this time, the battle was clear.

With Hanyang as the center, the 100,000 lions of the pastoral army covered an arc-shaped state, and the battle line was almost more than 2,000 miles long, from east to west, and comprehensively slaughtered towards Yongchang County, Yizhou.

The fierce actions of the herdsmen made Yonghong, Meng Shou, Gao Min and others very uneasy, and they rioted one after another.

The barbarians are building up.

A hundred thousand barbarian youths from the mountains are marching towards the battlefield.

The Yi tribe is also increasing its troops, and the tribe is young and strong, almost pouring out.

And Yonghong, even some did not hesitate to use military force, recruited young people in Dianchi City, and even did not hesitate to ruin their own reputation, violently recruited young and middle-aged people to gather as an army.

This shows their tough attitude.

In the whole of Nanzhong, the wind is loud, and the war is about to break out.

…………

Wei County, belonging to Yizhou County, is a small city between Yizhou and Qianwei, near the Jinsha River, and is also a gateway to the north of Yizhou.

The quiet small county town has become chaotic because of the war.

When a military disaster comes, it will inevitably bring harm to the innocent.

Many people began to flee from the county, and the entire county seemed a little calm.

But in the last two days, it has begun to become lively again, first part of the main force led by the barbarian army Meng Jie, moving closer here, and then the Yizhou county soldiers went north and camped outside the outskirts of the city.

Many people were shocked to find that at this time, the herdsmen also quietly transported troops in, and set up camp in the northern suburbs of Wei County, even ten miles down.

The small taste county has become a place of wind and clouds.

On the Jinsha River, the water flow is impatient.

A fleet went south, headed by three double-toothed warships, but they could be safely anchored in the impatient current, this new type of warship is definitely the most stable fighting ship at present, with a two-story scale, slightly smaller than the building ship, although it is not as stable as the building ship, but it is far more stable than the fighting ship.

"Lord, this is the news sent recently, Yonghong is in Wei County, and there are nearly 20,000 additional troops!"

Zhuge Xuan sent a report to Jing Wusi: "The specific distribution of troops is still being consulted, but the mountain roads of this generation are rugged, compared to the barbarian army, some gods and ghosts are nowhere to be found, and other soldiers and horses are camped to check, I am afraid that the barbarian army retains the main force, and I don't know which corner it is hidden!" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to talk about it!"

Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose and complained: "This Yonghong is really insincere!" ”

After saying a word of dissatisfaction, he asked, "Is there any news from Lei Hu and Shamoke?" ”

"Not yet!"

Zhuge Xuan began to complain about Mu Jing in his heart: If you say it's a negotiation, aren't you insincere!

It may seem like a negotiation, but it is absolutely inconclusive.

Because Mujing has already begun to move.

The two main forces detoured into the hinterland, which will inevitably cause chaos in Yizhou County.

"Lord, I just went to inspect the terrain myself!" Huang Zhong's burly body stepped on the warship, and said to Mu Jing: "The terrain around here is very complicated, sheep intestine paths, rugged mountain roads, nine bends and eighteen turns, it is easy to get dizzy when you turn around, if we fight, even if we have the advantage of troops, we may not be able to take advantage, but it is easy to suffer!" ”

Originally, Mu Jing had long been preparing to go south to Wei County and talk to Yonghong, but Xi Zhicai sent Chen Zhi and watched him tightly, and did not let him risk going south until Huang Zhong came back and let Huang Zhong accompany him personally, and Xi Zhicai was relieved.

Huang Zhong is one of the top three fierce generals in the world, but one person can form an army, and among the ten thousand troops, he will kill one three in and three out, and with him to protect Mujing, even if he is surrounded, it will not be a big deal.

"Lord, I have also explored the waterway ahead!"

Gan Ning also came up to report: "The next Fierce Ghost Beach, Hutou Bay, and the seven-turn chain ferry are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can hold the terrain of the river with long-distance lethal weapons, if they are blocked, our fleet may suffer a catastrophe!" ”

"This Yonghong really has a bit of thought!"

Mu Jing squinted: "Thousands of choices, choose this terrain, this is the courage to negotiate with us!" ”

"What does the lord mean, he is afraid of death?"

Xi Zhicai stayed in Hanyang and sat in the main force of the army, while Chen Gong led the staff group of the General Staff Division to move the headquarters to the warship where Mu Jing was located, and established a front-line command with Mu Jing and Huang Zhong as the main generals Chen Gong.

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of losing!"

Mu Jing said softly.

"Is there a difference?" Huang Zhong frowned.

"It's normal to be afraid of death, and it's ...... afraid of losing" Mu Jing said lightly: "That's because he can't afford to lose!" ”

"Got it!"

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, and he said: "The current situation, the major wealthy families in Yizhou County are already nervous, if Yonghong shows a little loss, it will inevitably cause a fire in the backyard, and when the time comes, facing our attack, coupled with the instability of the backyard, he has no chance of winning at all, so no matter what he does, first maintain a situation where Yizhou will not lose, even if it is a sneak attack, it will not give us any chance!" ”

"Then should we go to a fight first!" Gan Ning was full of fighting spirit, and the previous ambush battle lost the encirclement of the Yizhou county soldiers because of his incomplete consideration, which made him always think about it, this time, he wanted to get it back in person.

"The distribution map of the troops of Yizhou County!"

Mu Jing let out a low sigh.

"In!"

Zhuge Xuan sent a marching map, which was sent by Jing Wusi from the rear, because the time was in a hurry, it was not very careful, but the terrain around Wei County for more than 200 miles still had a general direction.

"There are 8,000 soldiers in Yizhou County, 3,000 in the county seat of Wei County, and the remaining 5,000 are all over the eastern and southern lines of the suburbs, and on the western front of Wei County, it is the barbarian army of Mengjie, and the western suburbs rely on the water belt, and the current direction of the barbarian army is not very clear, but the base camp of Mengjie should be here, Hengtuo Mountain!"

Zhuge Xuan said carefully: "It's not far from us, only more than fifty miles, and it can be raided in half a day!" ”

"Meng Jie's troops, have you found out?"

"There is no news for the time being, but at least no less than eight thousand!"

Zhuge Xuan said.

"That's not right!" Mu Jing shook his head: "Meng Shu should be here!" ”

"What?"

The crowd was a little surprised.

Chen Gong asked, "Why?" ”

"You look at the situation of their troop deployment, this amount of troops is not enough to form their battlefield, if they don't have enough troops, they will definitely have to shrink their forces, and they won't stretch the battle line, but now from west to east, the battle line is more than two hundred miles, aren't they afraid of being defeated by us!"

Mu Jing said coldly: "So there must still be troops, and in the entire Nanzhong, except for Yonghong, Meng Shu is the only one who can control the troops and remain silent, the most important thing is that in this negotiation, they are prepared for the worst, once the negotiation fails, what do you think they will do?" ”

"Ambush the lord?"

Chen Gong squinted: "Do they have such guts?" ”

"You just underestimate them, rabbits are in a hurry, and they will bite, if people are in a hurry, what will they do, no one can say it!" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly: "If you can successfully kill me here, the danger in Nanzhong will be solved!" ”

"I'll have to survey the battlefield myself!"

Chen Gong stood up: "If they ambush 350,000 troops, we should withdraw from Wei County as soon as possible, maybe let the forces of Hanyang and Zhu Ti rush south, and we can't take risks easily!" ”

"Not really!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "It's good for you to survey the battlefield, but now is not the time for the army to move, either don't move, or like a thunderbolt, directly subdue, we don't have so much time, we don't have so many resources, waste here!" ”

"The meaning of the lord is to enter Wei County and talk to Yonghong!"

"Let's talk!"

The pastor nodded: "He Yonghong wants to know himself and his opponent, understand my mentality, I also want to delay the time, give Lei Hu a cover, if he can successfully raid and enter Dianchi City, then the defense of Wei County is useless, we can directly wave troops to surround Dianchi City!" ”

"It's too dangerous!"

"Where is not dangerous!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "On the battlefield, the more afraid of death, the easier it is to die, I firmly believe that I will not die, I will naturally not die, as for the risk, as long as there are enough benefits, it is worth the risk!" ”

"If Xi Sima is here, he will definitely not allow it!"

"He's not here!"

Mu Jing said triumphantly.

…………………………

Taste the county seat.

"Any news?" Yonghong is a little anxious, the pastoral army continues to press Wei County, Wei County is already the best line of defense, if this is broken through, the entire Yizhou County will be reduced to a battlefield, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, Yizhou County will be in ruins, and the chaos of the war is the most damaging thing to the local economy.

"I have personally gone north to meet the people of the Minghou Mansion twice, and they have just replied to the news!"

Changshi Xu Min arched his hand and said: "Minghou has gone south, three days later, the suburbs of Wei County, above Lushui!" ”

"On the water?"

Meng Shu sat next to him and said coldly: "It seems that this Ming Hou is also a greedy person who is afraid of death!" ”

"I expected him not to dare to enter the city, but to meet on the water proves that they are very confident in their warship!" Yonghong said: "It is rumored that the pastoral army has a naval army that can compete with Jingzhou Jiangdong, it seems that this is true!" ”

"If I can lead them into the seven-turn chain ferry below, even if it is a powerful warship, I can wipe them out!"

Meng was full of confidence.

"Difficult!"

Yonghong shook his head: "Don't they know that they will judge the situation and definitely have some investigation of the terrain, and they will not easily involve them if they know which places are the most dangerous!" ”

"Actually, I think that Minghou has already come!"

Xu Min said suddenly: "If you send troops now, you may be able to catch them off guard, and if you can kill the Marquis of Ming here, then the danger in Nanzhong will definitely be solved!" ”

"You mean, Mu Longtu is already in the territory of Wei County, but it can't be hidden?"

Yonghong squinted.

"Hmm!"

Xu Min analyzed: "He's staring at us! ”

"If we send troops now, can we just kill them?" Yonghong asked.

"Difficult!"

Meng Huo replied that he was not brave and resourceless as written in the history books, and he could be the lord of one side, and he had his own city, and Meng Huo had his own analysis of the battlefield: "If they should not fight, they can retreat calmly, and they still have a large army behind them, we can't ask for any benefits!" ”

"It's not that there isn't a chance, it's just too weak!" Meng Shu continued: "We are hiding soldiers, but it is possible that they are also hiding soldiers!" ”

"Then wait a minute!"

Yonghong's eyes became resolute: "I still hope to talk about it, if I can use interests to force them to withdraw from the army, I don't want to fight them, Mu Longtu is not Liu Junlang, this person is too strong!" ”

……………………

Three days later, above the water.

Lushui, that is, the section of the Jinsha River that goes south in Jiangyang and reaches Dianchi Lake, is called Lushui.

A small boat, the two met.

There are many formations around.

"Minghou Mansion, Mujing!" Mu Jing faintly reported to his home.

"Yizhou Taishou, Yonghong!"

Yonghong's eyes were looking at the actual controller of Yizhou, the first impression was young, too young, such a young male lord is really rare.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about?" Mujing is very direct.

"Minghou, we have no intention of being your enemy in Nanzhong, but you directly set off a war and created a trend of civil strife in Yizhou, aren't you afraid of letting outsiders get cheap!" Yonghong looked at Mu Jing gloomily.

As soon as Mu Jing opened his mouth, he gave him a lot of pressure, this pressure was unprecedented, even Liu Yan had never given him such a strong pressure back then, as if it could crush his waist.

"Don't be afraid!"

Mu Jing replied calmly: "Outside the first to settle inside, Yizhou does not allow the existence of the second party, any force that does not submit to the Ming Marquis Mansion will be killed!" ”

Overbearing!

This is Yonghong's second feeling.

"I have never said that I want to rebel against the Minghou Mansion, we have never thought of being the enemy of the Minghou Mansion, why should the Minghou be aggressive and fight for a fish to the death!" Yonghong said.

"The fish is dead?" The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised slightly: "You look down on you, the fish will definitely die, but the net may not be broken!" ”

"Minghou's confidence is a good thing, but don't underestimate us!"

Yonghong said: "We have been operating in Nanzhong for many years, even if we are not defeated by you, it is a big deal that we escape into the mountains, and we are enemies every year, so that you can't wait for peace, I don't believe that your main force can still stay here for many years!" ”

"That's right!"

Mu Jing shrugged: "If Meng Shu said this, it would really be a bit of a deterrent, but you, Yonghong, you are different, you are a wealthy family in Yizhou, and the family has lived in Dianchi City for many years, you can influence Nanzhong because the strength of the Yongjia family is all over the two counties of Yongchang in Yizhou, if you escape into the mountains, who will accompany you to endure hardships, those subordinates, the strength of the family's vassals, the tenants under your command, or the family's soldiers!" ”

"I'll tell you, they won't, the Yong clan who has lost its deterrent power will be worthless, and if you escape into the mountains, you won't even have the qualifications to survive!"

Mu Jing sneered.

"You also underestimate us!" Yonghong's face was pale, not because he was annoyed and angry, but because of the weakness that was said, Mu Jing was right, if Meng Huo still had a way out, then he would have no more, either hold Yizhou or die in Yizhou, the Yong clan is rooted in the various counties in Yizhou, and if they lose these counties, the Yong clan is worthless.

"Whether I'm telling the truth or scaring you, you know it in your own heart!"

Mu Jing said lazily: "What I can put in front of you, in fact, there are only two ways left, either surrender unconditionally and hand over the two counties of Yizhou and Yongchang, or start a war and fight a river of blood, there is no third way!" ”

"I can descend!"

Yonghong said after half a sound: "But ......"

"Hear clearly, surrender unconditionally!"

Mu Jing repeated.

"Minghou don't want to deceive people too much!" Yonghong clenched his fists: "I may really not be able to break the net, but there are still 100,000 troops behind me, if we die, we will definitely be able to pull tens of thousands of herdsmen to accompany the funeral!" ”

"Threaten me?"

Mu Jing smiled and said, "Then there's nothing to talk about!" ”

"Minghou really doesn't want to value peace!"

Yonghong frowned.

Mu Jing didn't play his cards according to the routine, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Harmony is precious!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "I also want to, but the premise is that Yizhou must be reunified, and there is no need to negotiate the territory, you Yongshi really think that I am Liu Yan, Liu Yan can allow you to divide Nanzhong in the name of submission, but in the end, how did you treat him, conquering Jingzhou, you sent troops but did not contribute, stationed troops on the frontier and did not move, it seems to be reinforcements, but in fact it is a threat, asking for food and grass, this kind of bad thing, will I let it happen to me!" ”

He stood up, with a momentum like a tiger, facing Yonghong, and said coldly: "I am willing to come to talk to you today, because I want you to know my determination, in this battle, my pastoral army almost poured out, either the four counties of Nanzhong surrender unconditionally and hand over all your control, or Nanzhong will be beaten into ruins, at any cost, I will never allow it, someone stabbed me in the back!" ”

Yonghong's face was a little pale.

He originally thought that he had looked down on this young man, but in the end he still underestimated him a little, this kind of domineering, Liu Yan in front of him, absolutely couldn't say it, this kind of jade burning momentum is not something that ordinary princes can say.

Thus, he also saw Mu Jing's resoluteness.

"Since Minghou is so resolute, then we'll see you on the battlefield!"

Yonghong is Yonghong after all, it is impossible for him to surrender without a fight, hand over the four counties of Nanzhong, the Yong family has no room to survive, forced to this part, there is no way out, he slowly stood up, faced Mu Jing, and said coldly: "But today, you, Ming Hou Mu Jing, may not be able to go out!" ”

"Scare me!"

The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised a demonic smile: "Yonghong, I dare to come, I can go, why don't you try it and see who can survive!" ”
