Hearing his words, Sun Xi was a little embarrassed. After all, Fu Yan's side is okay to say, at least maintaining an undefeated situation. On his side, he was a real big defeat and a loss. "That's it, it's useless to talk about it! Now we must change our strategy and strive to achieve a big victory as soon as possible to curb Huan Wen's northward movement! When Murong Trai saw his expression, he didn't blame him anymore, but said helplessly.

"In the king's opinion, what should we do now? Please give the subordinate a chance to make meritorious contributions! Sun Xi hurriedly said.

Murong Chui didn't speak for a while, obviously thinking about what to do next.

Judging from the current situation, the forces in his hands are no longer advantageous in the face of the two armies of Huan Wen and Huan Chong. Therefore, if you want to win a head-to-head battle, the success rate is actually not large.

In this way, unless the troops are transferred from the rear, at least the troops in their hands will reach as many as Huan Wen and their two troops. In this way, you can also give yourself a lot of room to maneuver.

The other one is either to act immediately and go south before Huan Wen and Huan Chong converge. Before Huan Wen reacted, he first dealt with Huan Chong's soldiers and horses, in that case, the threat he would face would be greatly reduced.

After thinking about it, Murong Chui decided to adopt the second method.

"The king wants to fight the Huan Chong army as soon as possible? Why don't you send troops and horses from the rear, so that we can deal with it calmly? After hearing this plan, Sun Xi couldn't help but be curious.

"If you transfer troops from the rear, it will take a long time, and I am afraid that the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and Xingyang Chenliu and other counties will be lost. Second, now that the imperial court is in a national mourning, the territory is already uneasy, if we ask for reinforcements again, I am afraid that the imperial court will be uneasy and the people will be terrified! Murong sighed.

Hearing him say this, Sun Xi didn't say anything more. After all, he did have a point.

"The lower officials are willing to obey the king's orders!" Sun Xi groaned slightly, and arched his hand.

"Now that the Huan Chong army has just taken the county seat of Yangxia, it should be in the midst of rectifying the soldiers and horses. If he learns the news that Huan Wen's side will defeat you, he will inevitably accelerate his march north. With the distance between us and him, we can reach it in just one day. If we take the initiative to go south, the time will be even shorter! The other party is now on the west bank of the whirlpool, and it is not convenient for us to fight over, if only we could lure them to the east coast! Murong Chui thought about it for a while and said slowly.

"Xia Guan is willing to go to challenge Huan Chong, and he will definitely lead him to the east of the whirlpool!" Sun Xi hurriedly asked for help.

"No, I'll do it myself! Otherwise, with Huan Chong's caution, I'm afraid he won't cross the river easily! Only after seeing me will he probably make up his mind to cross the river! I have other important things for you to do, you just need to follow my orders, don't lead an army and wait for news. If we can't win this time, you and I will have to go to see Dazai-sama! Murong Chui shook his head and did not agree.

"Xia Guan understands, please rest assured that Xia Guan will definitely defeat them even if he risks his life!" Sun Xi immediately spoke.

After that, Murong Chui gathered a group of generals and ordered the plan of action this time. When everything was ready, he led the army to quickly move south, sweeping towards Yangxia County in the south.

Yangxia County is located on the west bank of the whirlpool, which is basically equivalent to using the whirlpool as the east moat. Therefore, it is not easy to cross the river from here to attack the enemies in the city, especially when it is heavily guarded.

The place where Murong Chui garrisoned at this time was located between Yongqiu County and Xiangyi County, on the west side of Bianshui. From here, follow the Bianshui all the way to the northwest, and you will arrive at the future Kaifeng City.

Of course, that place is called Junyi County at this time! Dozens of miles northeast of Junyi County is Xiaohuang County, where Chenliu County is located.

Chenliu County was originally a country, and it was established relatively early, but it slowly became a county later. Originally, the county was not in Xiaohuang County, but it was moved there at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty.

At this time, the north of Chenliu County is connected with the Yellow River, because the Yellow River has not been diverted at this time, so the area of Kaifeng is still plain, not to mention, and the Yellow River in the north is also relatively far away.

But once this Chenliu County is taken, it will be able to advance the troops directly to the south bank of the Yellow River. The most important thing is that it can also isolate the two counties of Henan and Xingyang in the west, and Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the east.

And these places are all in the hands of Yan Jun now. Compared with Qingzhou and other places in the east, the strength of the Yan army in Henan and Xingyang counties was relatively weak.

Therefore, once the connection with the east is cut off, if Huan Wen wants to recover Luoyang and other places, it will be much less difficult.

Especially when the Jiangzuo naval army entered the Yellow River, it completely cut off the connection between Henan and Xingyang County and Hanoi County in the north.

At that time, if these two counties will not get outside assistance, and the east, south, and north are the Jin army, and the west is the Tang army, it will inevitably be a great chaos in the army, and he will be able to easily recover the second county.

Murong Chui also saw this, so he had to ensure that Chen Liujun, an important place connecting the east and west, was in his own hands.

If Huan Chong's army is not solved first, once Huan Wen goes north from Xuchang to attack Xingyang counties, and then attacks Luoyang in the west, there is no way for him to help.

In the county seat of Yangxia, Huan Chong had just taken the city two days ago. Because this place was surrendered on its own initiative, it was relatively easy.

In order to let the army rest, the main reason was to inquire about the situation in Xuchang, so he temporarily stayed in this city.

Today, he finally received news from Huan Wen. After hearing that the threat of Sun Xi's group had been lifted, he realized that he could boldly march north.

To this end, he had just ordered the army to pack up and prepare to continue its journey. And at this time, the spies sent out to inquire about the situation in the north also sent the latest news of Murong Chui.

"General Qiyu, Murong Chui personally led an army of 20,000 to the south and came straight to us! It's less than forty miles away now! ”

"Less than forty miles? It's coming so fast! It seems that he should also know about Sun Xi's defeat, so he is in a hurry to go south to fight a decisive battle with me, wanting to solve the threat of my army before I meet with the general! After hearing the news, Huan Chong couldn't help but say.

"General, the enemy is attacking on a large scale, how should we deal with it?" The strategist beside him asked.

"Murong Chui led an army of 20,000 to the south, in terms of troops, we are not far from it. Under normal circumstances, we can hold on to the city. But now, the General's side is going north or west, and I can't stay here forever. Therefore, it is better to be able to defeat him and go hand in hand with the general! Huan Chong thought for a while and said slowly.

"What does the general mean is that we are going to fight a decisive battle with Murong Chui's army? However, I heard that he led an army of 40,000 to the south, why is it now 20,000? Is there something wrong with this? The strategist wondered.

"Whether there is a problem or not, we were originally looking for the Yan Army to fight a decisive battle! Now that the opportunity is in front of us, we can't miss it! In my opinion, the remaining 20,000 troops of Murong Trai are most likely secretly ambushed, ready to be killed when we fight him. If that's the case, we'll have to get ready! Huan Chong was also unsure of the other party's intentions, so he could only guess.

The speed of Murong Chui's army was very fast, nearly a hundred miles away, and he set off early in the morning and arrived in the afternoon of the same day. At this time, Huan Chong was also ready, he led the army to line up under the eastern city, and relied on the vortex water to defend in front.

With such a good barrier, it is impossible for Huan Chong not to use it. Murong Chui hoped that Huan Chong would lead his army across the river to fight a decisive battle in the open area to the east, but Huan Chong hoped that Murong Chong would cross the river and kill him. In that case, maybe you can hit it halfway.

The two armies faced each other across a river, with only a few bridges in between. Seeing this, Murong Chui slowly rode out of the army and walked to the river to shout.

"Huan Chong, listen, I am Murong Chui, the king of Wu of Dayan! Lead the army here today, if you know each other, you can quickly dismount and surrender, and you can also leave a small life! Murong Chui shouted arrogantly, his nostrils almost facing the sky.

"Phew! Suo Yu is ignorant, how can I know the majesty of Dajin? When death is imminent, you dare to speak out, and I will cut off your head later! When Huan Chong heard this, he naturally didn't say anything good, and immediately fought back.

At this time, the northern Hu people were roughly divided into two types, one was to shave off their hair, or to leave only part of the top of their head, which was called baldness. For example, in the Northland grassland, there are more Hu people.

There is also a kind of hair that is braided, which is called Suotou, and Suo Lu is a contempt for the Hu people. After all, the word "captive" is not a compliment!

Murong Trai couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and returned to the military formation without saying a word, and then ordered the army to attack.

I saw the soldiers of the Yan army approaching the bridge with shields on their heads, while constantly attacking the Jin army from the shore with arrows. It looked like it was going to cross the river in a big way.

After seeing such a situation, Huan Chong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and only hoped that the Yan army would rush over, and then he would defeat the enemy army under the city. When the time comes, maybe we will be able to complete the battle.
