Chapter 1228: Yue Fei was stunned and Liu Xiu was even more confused

Zhangling County.

Yue Fei, who was ordered by Jia Xu, ended the Nanjun Battle in a tangled and painful way, and after leaving enough troops in Xiangyang, he personally led 40,000 elites to rescue Zhangling County.

Zhangling County is the eastern gate of Jingbei, and once the war between Qin and Yu breaks out, the Zhangling army will definitely become a battlefield.

The defenders in Zhangling County are only 20,000, and the terrain is not dangerous, and it is obviously impossible to block the Yuzhou army several times larger than him with the city, so Jia Xu ordered Yue Fei to lead the army to Zhangling in case of emergency.

After Yue Fei received the news, he decisively took 40,000 elite troops and went to Zhangling non-stop, but when he arrived, he looked confused.

Zhao Kuangyin withdrew his troops and rebelled against Yuan Zili, and the Qin army won without a fight, and the battle was over at the beginning.

After learning the news, Yue Fei also found that he had run away in vain, not to mention how depressed he was.

You must know that in order to come to the rescue of Zhangling County, he gave up the low-hanging Nanjun, and as a result, the war ended as soon as others came, so wouldn't it be meaningless for him to give up Nanjun?

Seeing Yue Fei's face blue and red for a while, he couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Brother Pengju, our army will win without a fight, and the soldiers will not be sacrificed, you should be happy." ”

"Oh, yes, yes."

Yue Feiqiang responded with a smile, but he didn't look a little happy.

Yue Fei is not a war maniac who only wants to make meritorious contributions, he just feels that he has paid so much for Nanjun, but what he gives up has no meaning, which makes him a little puzzled for a while.

"Report ...... Lord Jia Xu sent a message from the flying pigeon......"

"Bring it in."

Xin Qiji hurriedly said, after taking a look from the soldier's hands, he said to Yue Fei with a smile: "Zhao Kuangyin promised to cede the three southeastern counties of Runan to our army, and Lord Jia ordered me to go and receive it. ”

"Brother Jiaxuan, you go get busy first." Yue Fei arched his hand.

Not long after Xin Qiji left, Yue Fei also received Jia Xu's flying pigeon summons, and after reading it, he was so angry that he tore the letter directly, and scolded: "Jia Wenhe is too deceitful, and he is going to impeach him with the lord." ”

Jia Xu said to Yue Fei in the letter that he could lead the army back to continue to attack Nanjun, but now it is not the same as in the past.

Although the strength of Nanjun has not increased much, Liu Xiu has returned to Nanjun, and with Liu Xiu's Nanjun, the generals of the family are all under his orders, and the difficulty of its strategy has definitely increased by more than ten times compared to before.

In Yue Fei's opinion, Jia Xu simply deliberately tossed him, when he gave Yue Fei ten days, he was able to capture Jiangling and completely expel Liu Xiu from Jingbei, but Jia Xu's edict made Yue Fei give up the Nanjun at his fingertips.

After Yue Fei came to Zhangling County considering the overall situation, he found that it made no difference whether he came or not, so why did you Jia Xu give this order indiscriminately? Isn't that full of food?

Wen Ping also knew that Yue Fei was angry, but Jia Xu sabotaged the Qin army's good opportunity to occupy Nanjun for the sake of overall caution, which was also an indisputable fact, so he asked with a wry smile: "Taishou, what now?" ”

"Hmph, what can I do?"

After Yue Fei snorted coldly, he said with an unhappy face: "Go back to Xiangyang and continue to attack Nanjun." ”

In this way, a few days after Yue Fei's 40,000 troops arrived in Zhangling, they returned to Xiangyang, and continued to attack Nanjun.

The literati opened their mouths, and the generals broke their legs, nothing more than that.

Liu Xiu, who was far away in Jiangling, didn't know that Yue Fei was back.

Yue Fei was not the only one who ran for nothing, Liu Xiu was the same.

At the beginning, when Liu Xiu received the news that Nanjun was in danger on the way to attack Jingnan, he was also in the critical period of attacking Jingnan.

Considering that Jiangling was the strongest barrier against the Qin army, in case Nanjun fell, it would be difficult to fight back to Jiangbei, so Liu Xiu decisively ordered Deng Yu to continue to attack Jingnan instead, while he himself returned with 10,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Nanjun.

Liu Xiu had just returned to Jiangling from Jingnan, but found that Yue Fei had inexplicably withdrawn from the army, which made Liu Xiu a little confused.

At first, Liu Xiu thought that the Qin army was deceitful and wanted to lure him out of the city for an ambush, so he didn't dare to go out of the city to pursue.

But later, when he knew that it was Yuan Shu who attacked Sizhou, and it was too late when Yue Fei retreated, although Yue Fei left, he arranged Xiangyang with an iron pass, and he was unable to counterattack Xiangyang with the strength of Nanjun.

The Qin army has retreated, the crisis in Nanjun has been resolved, and Liu Xiu is also preparing to return to Jingnan, after all, the four counties of Jingnan are his first springboard for conquering the world, so there is absolutely no room for any difference.

"Cen Peng, after Ben Hou leaves, Nanjun will be handed over to you."

Liu Xiu grabbed Cen Peng's hand and said with a serious face: "Remember, the defenders of Jiangling City must not be less than 20,000, all the cities in Nanjun have fallen, even reading is okay, as long as Jiangling City is still there, our army will have a chance to make a comeback in Jiangbei." ”

"Your subordinates must keep it in mind." Cen Peng clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiu nodded, and then ordered: "Cen Peng is now ordered to be the main general, Cai Mao is the deputy general, Kuai Liang is the military division, and the army of 25,000 is to guard the southern county, there must be no mistake." ”

Cai Mao and Kuai Liang stood up at the same time when they heard this, and together with Cen Peng, they received the order and said, "No." ”

When Liu Xiucai led the army to leave Nanjun, he left most of the soldiers and horses in Nanjun, and only took 10,000 troops to attack Jingnan.

After Liu Xiu entered Jingnan, under the continuous expansion of his territory, his troops also increased, and he had already been left behind in Nanjun.

Under Yue Fei's continuous conquest of Nanjun, Liu Xiu's soldiers and horses left behind were less than one-third of the original, and if it weren't for the Jingzhou family to send troops to help defend the city, I am afraid that Liu Xiu would not be able to return to Jiangling.

Now although Liu Xiu wants to return to Jingnan, he will keep the 10,000 troops he brought back, but even if this 10,000 army is added, the total strength of Nanjun is only 25,000, which is obviously not the opponent of the 60,000 Qin army in Xiangyang, so Liu Xiu will ask Cen Peng to only defend Jiangling City.

Jiangling is the heart of Nanjun, as long as Jiangling City is still there, even if the rest of the cities in Nanjun are lost, the Jingzhou army will still have a chance to make a comeback, but once Jiangling City is lost, other cities will not be able to keep Nanjun even if they are in hand.

After explaining everything, Liu Xiu took his 500-strong personal guard battalion and embarked on the way back to Jingnan, but as soon as the group arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, they received the news that Yue Fei had once again led the army to attack Nanjun.

"Lord Qiqi, Yue Fei led 50,000 troops to kill suddenly, and the county guards were beaten by a hurry, and now that four counties have fallen, Yue Fei's army will be in Jiangling City again."

"What?"

Liu Xiu's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't expect Yue Fei to come back so soon, but since Yue Fei had already returned, it proved that the war between Qin and Yu was over, but this was too fast, right?

It's only been a few days, how can a war of more than 100,000 people end so quickly?

After thinking hard to no avail, Liu Xiu ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately find out all the information in Yuzhou, Ben Hou wants to know why Yue Fei came back so soon." ”

"No."

After the spies left, Zhang Yun stepped forward and asked, "Lord, should we go back to Jingnan now?" ”

"If you don't go back, return to Gangneung immediately. In addition, Deng Yu was ordered to transfer 15,000 troops back to Jiangling. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "This time Yue Fei is menacing, it is difficult to hold Jiangling with only the current troops, and it is necessary to increase the number of defenders to block Yue Fei." ”
