Yu Xian not only did not obey the holy decree of the king of Chu and returned to Chuyang, but even left the bank of the Chu River with more than 200,000 troops and stationed the army in Luzhou County, which was hundreds of miles away from the riverbank.

"What? The Chu army on the other side of the river had withdrawn overnight. When Yang Ming heard the news from the scout, his excitement was indescribable.

In order to avoid Yu Xian's deception, Yang Ming first sent 5,000 soldiers to the east bank of the Chu River in a small boat.

The boat quickly reached the center of the river and was not attacked by the Chu army. So, these Dafu soldiers continued to move forward again, and they moved forward for a while, but still no Chu army appeared. In the end, they successfully landed on the east bank of the Chu River, but still did not find a shadow of a Chu soldier.

After these 5,000 Dafu soldiers cautiously landed on the east bank of the Chu River, they did not find any danger. Immediately, at the fastest speed, he rushed to the tent of the Chu army camp standing on the shore.

They soon arrived at the Chu army camp tent and carefully inspected each camp tent, but still did not see a single figure. Yang Ming, on the other side of the river, used the flag language to issue orders to the generals who led the troops. Let them search carefully, the tent of the Chu army and the area around the tent, to see what danger exists.

As a result, these Dafu soldiers searched carefully, but still did not find any ambush on the other side. At this moment, Yang Ming finally made up his mind and commanded the army to start crossing the river.

When Yang Ming successfully appeared in the tent of the Chu military camp, he was completely relieved. It seems that Yu Xian really gave up the camp on the shore and led the Chu army to withdraw.

This was withdrawn as soon as it was withdrawn, and the camps that had been set up were left on the riverbank. Yang Ming was also not polite, and asked his soldiers to clean up these tents. After making sure that there was no danger, he took a large army and stationed here.

Because he was not sure what had happened, Yang Ming, who had always been cautious in his use of troops, did not rashly lead his troops and marched towards the hinterland of Chu State. He had the Dafu soldiers stationed on the banks of the Chu River waiting for news from within the Chu State.

"The strategy has worked, but Yu Xian has reversed!" This night, a secret letter was sent to Yang Ming's desk, and when he opened the letterhead, he saw that only these eight words were written on the letterhead. And the name of the writer was not left on the letterhead. Yang Ming obviously knew who wrote this letter, and when he saw it, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

The next day, Yang Ming gathered all his generals and asked everyone to prepare for an attack on the hinterland of Chu.

On the same day, Yu Xian led 300,000 Chu troops to attack Dafu. These 300,000 troops are all the elite troops of the Chu State. After several battles, tens of thousands of people were lost. But now, Yu Xian has taken all the remaining 200,000 people away, which is almost a devastating blow to the Chu State.

The state of Chu is a relatively powerful country in this vicinity. But even if you add up the entire country's soldiers, it is less than a million.

Therefore, after Yu Xian took away these 300,000 people, in addition to guarding the cities to maintain local law and order, the soldiers of the Chu State also needed to be stationed on the edge of the neighboring countries to guard against the invasion of the neighboring countries' troops. In this way, there are very few soldiers that the Chu State can mobilize.

Under such circumstances, Yang Ming led the Dafu army to attack the hinterland of the Chu State. Many cities in the Chu State could not be organized at all, and the effective defense force was not able to be organized.

Wherever the Dafu army went, the generals defending the city almost fled. Only some loyal and brave generals of the Chu State organized soldiers to rely on the city walls or dangerous passes to defend to the death. But in front of the army of Da Fu, their efforts were meaningless, and the city was soon captured by the army of Da Fu.

And just like that, in less than a month. Yang Ming led the Dafu army to conquer the city all the way and occupied many cities in the Chu State. Advancing in the direction of Chuyang City, the capital of the Chu State, he soon attacked a place that was only more than three hundred miles away from Chuyang City.

The Dafu army, which was moving all the way, finally encountered an opponent at Yanggu Pass, which was more than 300 miles away from Chuyang City, and they could not easily defeat it. Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu, urgently summoned an army of 100,000, and he drove the expedition in person and led the army to guard the Yanggu Pass.

This Zhao Yuanrang can also be regarded as a character, and Da Fu's army is only a few hundred miles away from Chuyang City. The ministers of the court were almost panicked, and they were divided into several factions, and some advocated that they should lead soldiers to fight to the death with the Dafu army.

There were also some courtiers who advocated moving the capital quickly and moving the capital of Chu to a relatively safe place. There are even some officials who simply advocate surrendering to Dafu.

As a result, Zhao Yuanrang was furious and had several officials who advocated surrender killed. He personally took the 100,000 forbidden army guarding Chuyang to this Yanggu Pass, where he wanted to have a final decisive battle with the Dafu army.

Although the number of soldiers of the Chu State is relatively small, they have a geographical advantage. Coupled with the personal expedition of the king of Chu, the morale of the Chu army was greatly increased. Therefore, the armies of the two sides are deadlocked here, in front of Yanggu Pass.

After a few tentative attacks, both sides became cautious. Because the stakes in this battle are really important, no one dares to take it lightly and dare not rashly launch an attack.

For Yang Ming, if the Chu army was defeated in this battle, the Chu state would almost be destroyed. In this way, he has established such a great credit, and the throne of Dafu should belong to him. When the time comes, he ascends to the throne and manages the lands of Dafu and Chu, then he will become a generation of kings who will go down in history.

And for Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu. This battle is related to the life and death of the Chu State, and if you win, you can take advantage of the situation to lead the troops and recapture the land occupied by Dafu; If he loses, Zhao Yuanrang will become the king of the dead country, and he will not have the face to see the ancestors of his Zhao family again.

The armies of the two sides were stalemate in front of this Yanggu Pass, and there was no certainty of absolute victory. Neither side dared to take risks, so the war slowly entered a stalemate.

And this time to attack the state of Chu, Yang Yun did not participate, and his 20,000 soldiers also lost a lot in the previous battles.

Before the departure of the Dafu army, Yang Ming transferred some soldiers from the Fu army to Yang Yun, and still gathered 20,000 people for him. This time, Yang Ming assigned the task of his younger brother: to take the 20,000 people under his command to defend this Fufeng City.

In Yang Ming's words, this time, this Fufeng City is particularly important. First of all, all the materials on the front line must be sent to the front line by relying on this Fufeng City.

In addition, this Fufeng City is also the only road between Dafu and Chu State. If the city is occupied by the Chu army, the Dafu army will be heavily surrounded by the Chu army, and it is very likely that the entire army will be annihilated.

"I can't trust anyone else for such an important task, so only you, my most trusted brother, have done it personally." This is a sentence that Yang Ming said to Yang Yun before leaving.

For this Five Emperor Brothers, Yang Ming has always admired him very much, and even has some admiration. For his words, Yang Yun attaches great importance to them.

Staying in the dust, Yang Yun didn't dare to relax for a day, and he was busy arranging his subordinates to send the materials and resources needed in front of him continuously every day. Then, he inspected all areas of the Fufeng City to eliminate all potential safety hazards, and then strengthened training to make his 20,000 soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness.

Just in case, Yang Yun arranged for people to transport all the materials from the four small cities near Fufeng City to Fufeng City, because the defense capabilities of these four small cities were indeed very poor. As a last resort, the only way to do this is to concentrate all the soldiers in Fufeng Castle and concentrate on defense.

As the saying goes, "If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries", and facts have proved that Yang Yun's series of arrangements are indeed not in vain.

One night more than a month later, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, in a remote bay on the east bank of the Chu River, countless boats of different sizes suddenly appeared, and under the cover of night, these ships slowly moved towards the west bank of the Chu River.

The Chu River is the largest river in the Chu country, the river is wide, the water flow in the river is very rapid, and there are many reefs and undercurrents in it. Anyone who is not familiar with waterways can be very dangerous to sail during the day, let alone at night. This large fleet of ships is obviously staffed by experienced shipwrights, who are responsible for driving the ships, and ordinary shipwrights are really afraid to accept this dangerous task.

These boats were all covered with black canopies, and the people on board did not light a single light. Therefore, on such a night, it is difficult for people with very good eyesight to notice that there are so many boats moving on the river. These ships traveled back and forth on both sides of the Chu River several times, and finally completed their mission.

At this time, on the west bank of the Chu River, a wide flat dam was full of Chu soldiers who got off the boat. Leading a general in silver armor was none other than Yu Xian, the generalissimo of the state of Chu.

If Yang Ming was here, he would definitely be shocked, wasn't this Yu Xian in Luzhou County, hundreds of miles away? He sent a lot of soldiers and horses to guard the road from Luzhou County to Chujiang, how could he not see these soldiers and horses coming?

At this time, Yu Xian's face was serious, but the soldiers who observed carefully could see that the generalissimo was actually in a very happy mood at this time.

Yu Xian was able to appear here at this time, this was a bureau he had set up in advance, more than a month ago, Yu Xian deliberately gave up Fufeng City. He deliberately left the east bank of the Chu River, allowing Yang Ming to lead the army to cross the Chu River easily.

"Rebellion!" This is actually a plan that Yu Xian and Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu, discussed, to invite the king into the urn. On the surface, Yu Xian left the east bank of the Chu River with more than 200,000 Chu troops and arrived in Luzhou County, hundreds of miles away.

In fact, there were only about 50,000 Chu soldiers who actually arrived in Luzhou County, and the rest of the soldiers took advantage of the night to quietly hide in the mountains dozens of miles away from the river.

And the 50,000 Chu soldiers who left, after arriving in Luzhou County, dispersed again, and quietly sneaked back for the people in disguise.

In order to avoid being discovered by the Dafu army, Yu Xian took 200,000 soldiers of the Chu State and hid in the inaccessible mountains, and prepared enough food first. Except for a few spies who investigated the situation, Yu Xian demanded that all the soldiers under his command should not leave the mountain for half a step.

At the same time, some soldiers were allowed to hide more than a dozen miles away from the camp, and if anyone reached the mountain, they were only allowed to enter and not leave.

In this way, Yu Xian took these 200,000 Chu army soldiers to hide in this mountain for more than a month, and everyone tried their best to hide their figures, but they really hid it, all the people in the outside world.
