Yang Ming can be regarded as a relatively fast reaction, but it is too late. The little leader had just stormed into the courtyard. From a nearby house, many long arrows burst into flames, and they quickly fell into the courtyard of the Shuaifu.

In autumn and winter, the air was very dry, and the Shuaifu was full of tung oil and dry firewood, and as soon as these rockets landed in the courtyard of the Shuaifu, a raging fire immediately ignited.

The fire spread very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Shuai Mansion was surrounded by flames, and even Yang Ming and the others who were standing at the door of the Shuai Mansion had their cheeks burned red from the raging fire.

Looking at the flames burning more and more vigorously in front of him, Yang Ming's face turned pale. Unexpectedly, Yu Xian retreated, and left a "gift" for himself here.

His generals hurriedly sent Yang Ming to a safe place, and while arranging for people to put out the fire, they went to the vicinity to search for the arsonist.

It took a lot of effort to finally extinguish the flames. But nearly half of the hundreds of soldiers who first entered the marshal's mansion were killed in the fire.

At the same time, this huge mansion has also been burned to the ground, and it will be impossible to live in the short term.

And the Dafu soldiers who went to search for the arson Chu soldiers also came back soon. However, they didn't catch a single arsonist. By the time they ran over, most of the arsonists who had been hiding in the houses quickly ran away. finally surrounded a few, and before they could come forward to arrest them, these people all drew their swords and killed themselves.

This news reached the ears of Shengwang Yang Ming, and the more he listened to it, the more angry he became, so that the guards next to him did not dare to talk to him. But suddenly, this Yang Ming laughed again: "Okay, you are Yu Xian." A bit of a skill. However, when he met an opponent like you, this king felt that this battle was a bit interesting. ”

Suddenly figured this out, Yang Ming's mood immediately improved. He arranged for people to burn the Dafu soldiers in the Shuaifu's mansion. Also, the soldiers of the Chu State who killed themselves in order not to be caught by the Dafu soldiers were all buried.

From Yu Xian's dispatch of the Chu army to attack the camp tent in Dafu, and then quietly retreating from the west bank of the Chu River to the east bank of the Chu River, and even the fire attack plan in the Shuai Mansion, Yang Yun was by Yang Ming's side and witnessed this happening.

Although he didn't get involved, Yang Yun felt. I still have a lot of gains. He came into the world and mastered more knowledge than the people of this world. So many things, he is forward-looking, has a different idea from others.

However, Yang Yun also knew deeply that it was his weakness to lead the army and march to fight. Only in front of Yang Ming and Yu Xian, these people who are good at commanding operations, can they grow up quickly.

In his camp, Yang Yun discussed the war with Ju Yuanguang, Guo Long, Yao Xia and others during this period of time, which made him understand many things.

Generally speaking, Yang Ming and Yu Xian are both rare generals in this era. During this stage of the war, Yang Ming led the Dafu army to recapture Xunyang Pass, Xunyang City, and occupy several cities of Chu on the west bank of the Chu River, including Fufeng City. Strategically speaking, Dafu has won a big victory.

However, judging from the specific process of the battle, the defeat of the Chu army in this battle was not miserable, because they had preserved their vital strength and had the possibility of a quick comeback.

And judging from the entire combat process, the key to the reason why the Dafu army was able to seize so much land was a letter from Captain Yao. In order to give the Dafu army a chance to raid Xunyang Pass. Then, before they had time to react, they quickly captured several small cities, thus creating a strategic advantage for the Dafu army.

From all kinds of things that happened during this period of time, Yang Yun also made a summary. How to grasp fleeting opportunities on the battlefield, how to make the right choices, and how to improvise. He had a new understanding of all this. I believe that in the process of leading troops in the future, I can give him great help.

In this Fufeng City, there is a large courtyard, and all the people in the courtyard have been evacuated. The valuable things inside have been almost moved, but all the facilities in the courtyard are still intact.

This courtyard has become Yang Ming's current temporary station, and it is also the temporary meeting center of the Dafu army.

Here, at this time, a heated discussion is taking place. The topic of discussion is whether to defend the west bank of the Chu River according to the current situation. Or with the help of the current high morale of the Dafu army, he killed Chu Jiang and went to the base camp of Chu State.

The generals of Dafu who held the views of both sides were divided into two factions, each stating his own reasons, but Yang Ming, who was sitting on the upper hand, did not say a word. After many years of commanding operations, he has developed the habit of fully listening to some suggestions from his subordinates before making his own decisions.

Seeing that the two sides of the argument could no longer come up with new ideas, Yang Yun asked these generals to retreat, and then he sat alone in this room. After thinking about it for more than an hour, I finally made a final decision.

After beating Chu Jiang, when this thought flashed in Yang Ming's mind, it existed deeply in Yang Ming's mind, and it always lingered. Just now. Yang Ming felt that there was some truth in the words of these Dafu officials who supported the fight in the past. But what really made him make a decision was a kind of unwillingness in his heart.

This time, although he successfully drove the Chu army to the east bank of the Chu River, he occupied a large area of land. But in Yang Ming's heart, there was no sense of victory. On the contrary, he felt that when he was fighting wits and courage with Yu Xian, he had always been at a disadvantage.

Although Yang Ming has never had a famous word, there is always a fire in his heart, and it is this fire in his heart that makes him make up his mind. You have to fight through the Chu River, find Yu Xian, and defeat it with dignity.

This thought existed in Yang Ming's mind, like a raging flame, burning more and more in his heart, and he quickly made a decision.

Let his generals search for all kinds of ships in the upper and lower reaches of the west bank of the Chu River, and prepare to cross the Chu River and kill the hinterland of the Chu State when the water level of the Chu River is relatively low.

After Yang Ming gave the order, more than 200,000 Dafu soldiers immediately moved into action and began to look around for boats to cross the river. Before Yu Xian left the west bank of the Chu River, he took away almost all the valuable things in Fufeng City and the surrounding area.

When crossing the river, the Chu army requisitioned all the slightly larger boats on the west bank of the Chu River. However, the boats used by the common people by the riverside were not taken away or destroyed. Therefore, the Dafu soldiers searched all the way along the river bank and found countless small boats.

Although these small boats are relatively small, they have to be carried, and there is no problem for a few people to cross the Chu River. But the problem now is that Yu Xian has already done a good job of defense on the east bank of the Chu River. It is almost impossible to successfully reach the east bank of the Chu River with these fishing boats.

The Dafu soldiers also made some attempts, using these fishing boats to launch attacks on the east bank of the Chu River. As soon as these fishing boats arrived at the center of the river, they were violently attacked by the soldiers of the Chu State, and after losing a lot of manpower, Yang Ming had to let these soldiers withdraw to the west bank of the Chu River.

It seems that a strong attack will not work, even if you forcibly land on the other side of the Chu River, you will lose a lot of manpower, which is a combat method that Yang Ming has always disliked.

In fact, when he decided to cross the river, Yang Ming knew that he would be blocked by the other party. Therefore, he had long known that it was almost impossible to cross the Chu River by storming, so he had already made some arrangements.

One night a few days later, a small boat rowed over from the east bank of the Chu River. The boatmen on this small boat were obviously very familiar with the terrain. He managed to evade the search of the two armies and landed in a remote place.

A man dressed as a fisherman on the boat, after going ashore, ran to Fufeng City as fast as he could. Soon, this man appeared at the door of the courtyard where Yang Ming lived.

It turned out that this man was sent by Yang Ming, and his mission was to go deep into the hinterland of the Chu army, to meet with an important person, and to deliver an important message.

When this man handed over a letter to Yang Ming, Yang Ming, who read the letter, showed a happy smile on his face.

Chuyang City is the capital of Chu State, and it is also the largest and most prosperous city in Chu State. In the very center of the city, there is a huge palace with resplendent gold, and the location of this palace is the center of the power of the Chu State - the Chu Palace.

Zhao Yuan, the king of Chu, gave him a headache during this time, and he didn't know when it started, and there was such a news in Chuyang City. It is said that Yu Xian, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses who commanded the army at the front, was bought by Dafu and gave up a large area of land on the west bank of the Chu River without any resistance.

There are even rumors that Yu Xian's occupation of Xunyang Pass and the abandonment of Xunyang Pass were all discussed with Yang Ming. Otherwise, how could Xunyang Pass, which could be defended by thousands of ordinary people, be easily recaptured by the Dafu people.

This kind of rumor is getting more and more true, and some people swear that Yu Xian has already discussed it with Yang Ming, the king of Da Fusheng. Yang Ming would help Yu Xian ascend to the position of king of Chu, and Yu Xian would cede a large amount of Chu land in return.

These rumors were only spread among a small number of people in Chu at first, but in a few days, they spread rapidly, and almost all the people in Chuyang City knew about it.

This news soon caused panic in the city of Chuyang, and officials continued to write to Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu, asking the king of Chu to remove Yu Xian from the post of generalissimo of the Chu army and return to Chuyang for investigation.

Regarding the opinions of the officials, Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu, did not pay attention to them at first, but more and more officials wrote to them. Even in the end, the eldest brother of the king of Chu, Prince Zhao Yuanren, led hundreds of officials of the Chu State to jointly write a letter, demanding that Yu Xian be removed from the post of generalissimo of the Chu army.

Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu who has always trusted Xian, finally shook his trust in Xian under the bitter advice of many courtiers. After hesitating for many days, Zhao Yuanrang finally issued an order, asking Yu Xian to temporarily hand over the front-line soldiers and horses to the deputy, and return to Chuyang to report the situation ahead to the king of Chu.

It can be seen from this will that even under this pressure, Zhao Yuanrang, the king of Chu, still shows enough trust in Xian, as long as Yu Xian can return to Chuyang City alone, all rumors will be self-defeating.

However, Yu Xian's reaction was completely unexpected by the King of Chu and many ministers in the court.
