Fortunately, when Shi Zhen was pursuing, he did not come out of the nest, and some of them stayed behind in Jinling, which made the county unharmed.

However, the loss of Zuocheng and Baima was too big a blow to Jinling.

Because there are these two cities, it is equivalent to the acropolis, and between the three cities, they can be coordinated at any time, especially as long as the enemy dares to come to Jinling, then the left city and the white horse can cooperate with the frontal battlefield from both wings.

Shi Zhen also had enough confidence to hold on for several months.

But now, Jinling is equivalent to a lonely city.

After hurrying back, Shi Zhen couldn't help sighing.

The adjutant general beside him, because of the hasty retreat, was also a little disgraced, and said tentatively: "General, why don't we snatch the white horse back first!" ”

"How to rob?" Shi Zhen glanced at him: "Now Wei Qing's troops must have been divided and garrisoned, can you capture the white horse in one day?" ”

"This ......," the lieutenant swallowed.

"That being the case, why are you talking about this! The main force of the Qin army is coming, think about the next situation in Jinling! "Shi Zhen doesn't have a good airway.

He was right, after receiving the news from the front, Zhao Mu immediately moved, and the main forces of the Qin army began to enter Zuocheng and Baima respectively.

Now that the left and right flanks are full of enemy troops, Shi Zhen is in a hurry, asking for help letters, which are one after another.

Due to the proximity of Baima to Jinling, the strength of the Qin army here is obviously much more, and it is also a place of military command.

All the communication arteries that attacked Jinling were occupied by the Qin army, and there was nothing to say next, so Zhao Mu immediately launched an attack on Jinling.

The loss of important strongholds made the entire Jinling County unable to complete any tactical transfer, and could only struggle to support the city.

Two days later, Xiao Yuan arrived at the front line.

After learning about the current battle situation, he couldn't help but praise Tian Zhu and Wei Qing, and said:

"Tian Da is a quick thinker, General Wei Qing is brave and brave to fight, this battle is good, the loss of Zuocheng and Baima is fatal to Jinling."

"Yes, the king, the two cities are lost, Jinling can be broken soon, judging from the current battle situation, Shi Zhen will not be able to hold it for a few days." Zhao Mu received.

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded first, and then asked, "What about the reinforcements of the Liang Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Mu replied: "According to the military intelligence report, it stands to reason that the reinforcements of the Liang Kingdom should arrive in Jinling soon, but so far, there is still not much movement. ”

This is a bit unreasonable, you know, Jinling is a county, not a small county.

Liang Jun shouldn't give up this place easily.

Frowning slightly, Xiao Yuan looked around again: "What do you all think?" ”

Tian Zhu thought for a while and said, "Weichen boldly guesses, whether the king is a little worried that the reinforcements of the Liang Kingdom are planning [Lewen] some conspiracy. ”

"That's right." Xiao Yuan naturally didn't hide it, and said: "In the eyes of this king, this is somewhat abnormal. ”

Tian Zhudao: "In the opinion of Wei Chen, no matter what the plans of the Liang army are in the future, but the current Jinling is already a lonely city, quickly capture this place, and then spread to the surrounding areas, recover the counties of this county, and completely stabilize the situation of our army entering the Liang Land, which is the most important thing at the moment, rather than guessing the hostility, it is better not to guess." ”

This is the difference between Tian Zhu and other strategists, other people may hesitate because they can't see through what is behind, but Tian Zhu will not be like this.

In the end, Xiao Yuan took his suggestion and said, "Yes, this king agrees with Lord Tian's opinion, and quickly pacifies this place when he knows that Jinling will not pose a threat to our army." ”

"On the other hand, pay close attention to the movements of Huan Guo."

In fact, this time, it was Xiao Yuan who thought about it a lot.

There are 100,000 reinforcements from the Liang Kingdom to support Jinling, and why they have not arrived until now is all because of the royal order of the King of Liang.

In the eyes of the guard general Shi Zhen, Jinling is very important.

But if the map is reduced, as far as the entire Liangguo territory is concerned, Jinling is actually dispensable, let alone a strategic location.

Coupled with the loss of Zuocheng and Baima, King Liang obviously has plans to give up this place.

100,000 reinforcements, the main general is named Sun Yao.

This person is the perennial deputy general of Liang Shuai Xue Wu, if you talk about ability, it is similar to Gao Sheng among Qin generals, they are all the kind of middle-level generals who have experienced a lot of wars and have rich experience, but they are not enough to be above and more than below.

Sun Yao led 100,000 troops, which was also a last resort for King Liang, because now Xue Wu was still on the front line of Huanliang, confronting Sun Qi, and on the surface, there was no other commander available in the country.

As a monarch, King Liang knew Sun Yao's ability, so he didn't dare to let him easily support Jinling, for fear of the treacherous tricks of the King of Zhongqin.

At this time, Sun Yao's pressure is undoubtedly huge.

The most important figure on the other side is Xiao Yuan, the king of Qin, and below are Zhao Mu, Shangguan Wenruo, General Xu Hu, General Peng Shuang, Strategist Tian Zhu, and a large number of middle-level generals of the Qin army.

From Sun Yao's personal point of view, his mentality can be imagined.

After leading the army to reach about 100 miles behind Jinling, Sun Yao stopped and began to build a defensive line according to the terrain, deep ditches and high bases.

At the same time, Shi Zhen passed the book that if Jinling could not be defended, there was no need to defend it, save the existing troops, quickly retreat, and join his own division.

There was no domestic support, Shi Zhen had no choice, he stuck to the lonely city, and sooner or later he would die, and after another day of bloody fighting, he also made a quick decision, with the only thousands of remnants of the defeated general, lost Jinling City, and retreated to Sun Yao's defense line.

On the other side, the envoy of the Liang Kingdom also arrived in Huandu, and began to lobby King Huan above the court.

This is what King Liang is most concerned about.

He now urgently needs to strike down with Huan Guo and put all his energy on dealing with the Qin army.

More importantly, Xue Wu, Tang Yue, Cai Yan and others had to quickly withdraw from the Huanliang battlefield and turn to deal with the King of Qin.

But the strength of the Huan army is still on the front line, and Sun Qi has been eyeing him, which requires the attitude of King Huan.

On the court hall, the cool envoy first bent down and bowed his hand, gave a deep salute, and then went straight to the point, making clear the intention.

He did not ask King Huan to withdraw his troops in a pleading tone, but used tone skills to explain the current situation of Huan from other points of view.

This is exactly the genius of the debater at that time, he will not say what impact Huan Guo's withdrawal will have on Liangguo, but what are the benefits of retreating to yourself.

Liang Envoy put himself in the position of Huan Guo and pointed out to King Huan that now the dispute between Qin and Liang is the key, and there is no need for Huan Guo to participate in it anymore, and it is a waste of national and military strength.

It is conceivable that such a statement, in King Huan, can be said to be in his heart.

With his character, he immediately said with a smile: "The envoy's words seem to be planning for my Huan country." ”

When the Liang envoy heard this, he immediately said: "Of course, coming here is being considered by His Highness. ”
