Lu Zheng's army broke through the city from Wuling, and the 50,000 horses led by Xiao Ran were like tigers descending from the mountain, Song Wensong saw that the soldiers and horses in Wuling were unstoppable, and immediately sent Li Yuanze to lead the Jiangnan Army and another 20,000 Shandong troops to quickly meet and build a defense line on the Zishui line south of Wuling.

"Xiao Ran, known as the desperate three-plate axe, the characteristic of his use of soldiers is that his nature is like fire, so when fighting with him, you must not rush forward, but should fight steadily and steadily, blocking his three-plate axe!

So you should remember six words on this trip, harden the village, fight in a daze, have you remembered? ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Jiangnan's victory or defeat is not in Wuling, Lord Wang, you personally greet Lu Zheng's thief, this is the key to victory or defeat!" We only need to hold the defensive line, so that the opponent will not be able to attack for a long time, and their logistics and supplies will inevitably encounter difficulties, and at that time, we will be advantageous! ”

"Yuan Ze is good, I haven't followed me to fight in the south and north in vain all these years, and I am very relieved that Wuling has you!"

After Li Yuan ordered troops to fight, Song Wensong personally led tens of thousands of troops straight to Anqing Mansion, he knew in his heart that Lu Zheng would definitely go to war, and from Anqing to the south, you can take the water route or the land route, so it should be inevitable that Lu Zheng will take Anqing in this battle.

The so-called anticipation of the enemy's first opportunity, Song Wensong must take the first step to defend Anqing, before he set out on the expedition, Long Lingxiu personally summoned him. Seeing Long Lingxiu's face, Song Wensong wanted to vomit very much.

Thinking about the situation in Jiangnan today, it was all caused by this woman, but on the face, he couldn't show the slightest hint for the time being.

Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zheng'er, sooner or later we will have a battle with him, since we always have to fight, it is better for us to duel now and decide the winner!" Lu Zheng'er, I really think that I am invincible in the world, but I don't know that the strength of our Jiangnan has long been not inferior to Lianghe.

What's more important is that you Song Wensong may not be as good as Lu Zheng in other aspects, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, Lu Zheng has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he compare with you?

So, Wen Song, this battle must be won, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to win this battle! ”

"Come on, serve the wine!"

At this time, Long Lingxiu was still immersed in the illusion of the empress ascending the throne, she still felt that everything was under her control, and even after she calmed down, she thought that Lu Zheng's rebellion should be expected.

Lu Zheng has the strength and ambition to rebel, why doesn't he rebel? Instead of waiting for Lu Zheng to rebel after landing with his wings full, it is better to take me as the main and force him to rebel, since there will be a battle sooner or later, instead of letting Lu Zheng choose the time of the battle, it is better for us Jiangnan to choose this time.

Long Lingxiu talked eloquently, beautifying the matter of calling himself emperor almost flawlessly, Song Wensong was furious when he heard it, but he couldn't refute it directly, he was really irritable for a while, and he couldn't wait to slap this woman a few times.

In the end, he was finally relieved, he could go on the expedition, he personally led the army to attack Anqing, but the army only received an urgent secret report of 800 miles in the middle, saying that Liu Song led the army to attack Huainan Road, and had successfully captured Huainan Road, forming a situation across the river to the south of the Yangtze River.

As soon as Song Wensong heard the news, his face changed suddenly, and he said:

"Guys, what are we going to do now? Do you still want to take Anqing? ”

"Lord Wang, there is no point in attacking Anqing at this time, because once the war in Anqing is scorched, Liu Song must know that our Jiangnan is empty, and his army can take advantage of the situation to take Jiangnan to the south, so that our backyard can't prevent it, and the situation is really very dangerous!" Some strategists suggested to Song Wensong to withdraw the army.

Then it was immediately refuted, and the reasons for the refutation were also very sufficient, or some generals said: "Then Lu Zheng concentrated all his forces in the three-way army, and the threat of Shandong no longer exists."

At this time, the prince should let Tan Cheng go south quickly, directly approach Huainan Road, and let him and Liu Song fight in Huainan Road, so that Liu Song will not be able to go south, so we can still fight with Lu Zheng near Anqing, so we still have an advantage! ”

As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately got everyone's response, because from the perspective of the war, this time the Lianghe army was exhausted, and the army of three routes went south to attack Jiangnan, in this case, Jiangnan's strength was a little weak.

People who know a little about war understand that this kind of war must be defended, but must strive for the initiative, so Anqing is very critical, so if there is a way to take Anqing, the decisive battle with Lu Zheng in Anqing is definitely the first choice.

The strategists disputed, the generals disputed, and time was lost minute by minute, and at this time, Song Wensong also hesitated, and he really couldn't make up his mind. He and Lu Zheng are old rivals, not only old rivals, but also enemies for almost a lifetime.

The two have been fighting for half their lives, how many means Lu Zheng has, and what Lu Zheng wants to do, Song Wensong knows too well. He understands that if he wants to confront an enemy like Lu Zheng, he must not have a conservative mind, and it is basically impossible to win the other party if he wants to win steadily.

However, adventure sometimes means an abyss, and one wrong step can slip into the abyss, which is really a very scary thing.

"Master Dong, I have to look for you today, I really can't make up my mind! Anqing was originally the battlefield I chose, but Lu Zheng was very familiar with me, and he obviously had insight into my intentions a long time ago, so this fang actually used means.

What means did he use? He let Liu Song occupy Huainan Road, if I attack Anqing, he can let Liu Song cross the river from Huainan and directly send troops to Jinling and Jiangning, I have to say, this hand is too powerful! ”

Song Wensong paused, and said: "If I don't move, I'll wait in Jinling, Jinling is not a place to use troops, first, Lu Zheng can take this opportunity to capture all the cities south of Anqing Mansion one by one, so that my Jinling will lose the outer barrier, from the line of Wuling, the whole line will face the pressure of the two rivers, what should I do!" ”

Dong Yong sneered and said, "Song Wensong, let me ask you, can you trust Tan Cheng?" Lu Zheng used soldiers to divide Shandong and Jiangnan, which is the card he played!

If you let Tan Jiajun contain Liu Song, will Tan Cheng use all his strength, will he win Liu Song, do you dare to give your back to Tan Cheng to defend?

If you dare to do this, then rest assured to boldly attack Anqing, and Lu Zheng's army in Anqing decisive battle, if you hesitate to do so, then you can only temporarily do not move, in order to respond to all changes! ”

Song Wensong was stunned for a moment, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and after a long time, he sighed and said:

"You are really soul torture, just think how can I trust Tan Cheng? Tan Cheng is on the throne like me, Long Lingxiu doesn't fully trust him, can I trust him?

I understand, my Dakang seems to be unified, but in fact, once Lu Zheng uses troops, he will divide us again, Shandong is still Shandong, Jiangnan is still Jiangnan, these two places have never been unified! ”

Dong Yong snorted lightly and said: "Not only that, these two places are still divided, but a madman Long Lingxiu has emerged, if it is Long Zhaohuan at this time, I am afraid that the situation in the world will not be so bad, and now this situation ......"

Song Wensong said: "Dong Yong, if it were you, how would you choose?" ”

Dong Yong shook his head and said: "If it were me, I wouldn't be able to attack Anqing, because since everyone is going to die in the end, I also hope that I will die in the end!" In fact, there is still an opportunity here!

As long as we hold our troops, there will be a situation on the Huainan Road side, whether it is Tan Cheng or Long Lingxiu, they can't tolerate Huainan Road being controlled by Lu Zheng, so it is inevitable that Tan Cheng will send troops!

Then, although the Wuling side can be stabilized for the time being, it is estimated that it will also be defeated and retreated, and the Anqing side will also be defeated, as long as there is continuous bad news to the capital, the hearts of the people on the Jinling side will collapse!

Lord Wang, you should grasp the time when this person's heart is broken, suddenly mutiny, take the palace, kill all Long Lingxiu's henchmen, and then kill Long Lingxiu, and let Long Zhaohuan re-ascend the throne as the emperor, so that Long Zhaohuan will re-stabilize the situation as the Son of Heaven, and there is still a last chance to fight in the overall situation! ”

Song Wensong stared at Dong Yong, countless thoughts appeared in his mind, he wanted to say that Dong Yong was talking nonsense, but he thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of any words to refute Dong Yong for a while, he suddenly felt that Dong Yong's words seemed to be invulnerable, and the road in front of him seemed to be really only this one.

With a long sigh, Song Wensong suddenly became extremely pessimistic about the future, and he said: "I knew today, why bother in the beginning?" At the beginning, I should have stayed in Shandong and waited patiently, even if I waited for ten or twenty years, I would definitely be able to wait for the opportunity, and if I couldn't wait for the opportunity, it would be better than being so panicked all day long, not knowing when it would be over! ”

Dong Yongdao: "Yes, one wrong step, one wrong step, my mistake is to see Long Lingxiu wrong, this woman is an eternal madman, and she is the kind of madman who doesn't care about it and doesn't want to die at all, she is even helping Lu Zheng, this kind of woman ......"

Dong Yong beat his chest, it was really hard to express his inner emotions.

Song Wensong immediately ordered the army to return to Jinling and build a defensive line near Jinling, and at the same time immediately sent an excerpt to Long Lingxiu, explaining the current situation, and the content of the letter was also very simple, that is, Huainan Road had been occupied by the opponent, and if Song Wensong rashly attacked, Jinling would be difficult to protect.

Long Lingxiu, a woman who doesn't understand military affairs at all, when she heard that Huainan Road was lost, she only remembered that there was only one river from Huainan to Jiangnan, if Song Wensong really went on the expedition, wouldn't Jinling be finished?

So she didn't hesitate, and while letting Song Wensong stand still, she immediately ordered Tan Cheng of the Shandong army to quickly go south and take Huainan at all costs, and Tan Cheng's army finally moved.

And Lu Zheng's middle route army did not receive any resistance in Anqing Mansion, of course, Lu Zheng was like a bamboo, all the way down Lu'an, Yicheng, and most of the cities on the north side of the entire Jiangnan River, were swept by Lu Zheng all the way into the plough court and swept the holes......
