Back the night before, Fu Dao sent a team of men to Xiangwu County to report the news.

The speed of this team is not slow, and it has already arrived in Xiangwu County before it arrives. However, it was not so easy for them to meet Fu Sheng.

First of all, because during this period of time, the counties were broken by the Huashan Army, so Xiangwu County implemented a curfew every day. The gates are closed in the evening, and it is impossible to enter or leave the city at all.

Although it was said that the emergency military situation could be entered and exited, Fu Qin was also frightened by the Huashan army's tricks to deceive the city. Therefore, this check is naturally indispensable.

In this way, when these men entered the city, the time was already up. At this point in time, Fu Sheng was already asleep. Not only did I fall asleep, but I also drank a lot of alcohol that night.

Not to mention that you can't wake up at the moment, even if you can wake up, no one dares to scream! After all, Fu Sheng's temper is very clear to those palace attendants around him. In just one year, how many palace attendants were often killed on the spot because they didn't like him.

So, by the time Fu Sheng knew about it, it was already the morning of the next day!

"Why didn't you wake me up on the spot for such an important matter? Mistaken me for a big thing, I really deserve to be killed! Come on, drag them all down for me, and beat them to death! Knowing that Li Xin had already killed in Zhendao County, Fu Sheng was shocked and angry, and even transferred his anger to the servants who served last night.

Hearing the miserable cries of those attendants, the soldiers who came to report the news couldn't help but be frightened in their hearts, and they trembled a little.

"Your Majesty, the county seat of Zhendao is not as small as Zhongtao Xinxing, and if there are 5,000 troops, it should be able to hold on for a while. The only way to do this is to send men and horses to Qidao County to support General Pingbei. As long as Qidao County can block Li Xin for a while, when the army of King Jin rushes back, Xiangwu County can be safe! Liang Leng and the others were summoned to discuss the matter, and at this time, he proposed.

"King Jin's army, where is it now?" Hearing this, Fu Sheng couldn't help asking.

"I just arrived at Mikou Pass yesterday, and in two days, I can reach the outside of the city!" Liang An replied.

Located two hundred miles northwest of Xiangwu County, the pass is also a critical pass, and it is still in the hands of Fu Qin. After passing there, Fu Liu's army can go all the way south to the outside of Xiangwu County!

"It's too slow, send the decree quickly, let King Jin speed up and rush back! In addition, the matter of supporting Zhangdao County was taken care of by Liang Cheqi, and 2,000 men and horses were transferred from the defenders of Xiangwu County, and they quickly rushed to Zhangdao County, and they were bound to block Li Xin, waiting for the return of the army of King Jin! Hearing this, Fu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, and then said.

"Yes, the minister will do it immediately!"

After discussing for a while, they finally came up with a solution, and Fu Sheng was a little relieved. Just as everyone was about to disperse, a small yellow door suddenly flew in from outside, looking nervous.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that Qidao County has fallen, General Pingbei has been killed in battle, and the 5,000-strong army has been destroyed!" Xiao Huangmen ran to the top of the main hall, knelt down with a thud, and shouted.

"What? When did this happen? Didn't you say that Li Xin only arrived outside the county of Zhengdao yesterday evening? How did you lose this county today? Hearing this news, everyone was shocked, and Fu Sheng walked down directly from it and asked sharply.

Just now, I was still thinking about how to keep Li Xin out of Zhangdao County, which would even lose the county seat, and even lose 5,000 troops. Such a piece of news is like a bolt from the blue for Fu Sheng!

Thinking of the distance between Xiangdao County and Xiangwu County, everyone couldn't help but worry. Especially with the speed of cavalry, if you want to kill outside Xiangwu County, it is not a difficult thing at all.

"Hurry up, give the order to go down, the whole city is on alert, close the four gates, and no one is allowed to enter or exit, in case the Huashan army comes to attack!" As if thinking of this, Fu Sheng immediately ordered.

After this incident, the originally promised matter of supporting Zhangdao County is naturally over.

"Your Majesty, there is a quick horse report outside the door, and Yanxian County has also fallen into the hands of the Huashan Army!" As soon as Fu Sheng's words were finished, a small yellow door ran in from outside the door, and he reported.

"Yan County is also lost! In this way, wouldn't the Huashan Army be able to attack Xiangwu County on both sides? Hearing the news, everyone unanimously felt troubled. Zhao Ju immediately exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, please also send someone to these two counties as soon as possible to inspect the enemy's situation. In this way, it is better to arrange the defense of the city, so as to wait for the army of King Jin to rush back! Liang Leng pondered for a while and then suggested.

At this time, all that everyone heard was bad news, and they didn't know what the specific situation of the two soldiers was. Although he knew that Li Xin was on the road in Zhendao County, it was not clear how many soldiers and horses he brought and what the troops were!

"The matter is urgent, and this matter will be handled by Liang Cheqi! It is necessary to find out the situation of the Huashan Army. As for the matter of defending the city, it will be handed over to you and Liang Shangshu at the same time, but all the generals in the city will go to the city to guard. Fu Sheng nodded and agreed to the suggestion.

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent the enemy from driving the people outside the city to assist, or to collect food from the people's homes, please also order the fortified walls to clear the wilderness and withdraw all the people outside the city into the city. The Huashan army is far away, and the grain and grass will inevitably be insufficient, and if it is not replenished, it will not be able to last for a long time! Prime Minister Mao Gui also proposed at this time.

"Okay, just according to what the prime minister said! Hurry up and send someone to arrange it! Fu Sheng did not refute this suggestion, and directly agreed.

Soon, the atmosphere in the entire Xiangwu County became very tense, and teams of people kept coming and going, rushing to the four gates to set up defenses. In broad daylight, the four city gates were directly closed, and no matter who it was, they couldn't get out or enter without an order.

When Xiangwu County got the news, Li Xin had already arranged the affairs in Xiangdao County. He did not rush north to Xiangwu County, but first sent Shao Zisong to lead an army of 2,000 to the south, and then went to take Zhongtao County first.

Otherwise, once you wait until Xiangwu County starts fighting, it will not be safe to leave such an unstable factor behind you. And Zhao Xu, who was cowering in Zhongtao County, was even more frightened when he heard the news that Zhendao County had been taken.

To deal with such a person, Shao Zisong used a very ingenious method.

Since Zhongtao County is on the edge of Weishui, he personally led people to start taking soil and building embankments not two miles away from the north of the city. At the same time, it was widely advertised, saying that it was preparing to flood Zhongtao County with Weishui from the upstream.

In this way, people like Zhao Yu were naturally scared half to death. Not only him, but also the other defenders and civilians in the city were also terrified. In this way, when Zhao Zhi proposed to surrender, this matter was naturally reached.

Simple, without spending a single soldier, Zhongtao County was completely taken. As a result, the targets set before the war, the three counties of Luoyang, Tianshui and Nan'an, have basically been completely taken down.

It can be said that in addition to the final goal of eliminating Fu Qin next, basically this time the plan of the Huashan Army has been completed for the most part. Judging from the current situation, among the three, it is indeed Huashanjun himself who has benefited the most.

Zhou Tong rushed from Xinxing County to Qidao County, preparing to participate in the final battle. But at this time, Li Xin ordered a two-day rest in Qidao County.

First, he wanted to send these soldiers back to Luoyang County. After all, they had just surrendered, and they couldn't be trusted too much. Especially when the Great War is approaching, caution is a must.

At the same time, they are also waiting for the rear to send people to take over these counties. At that time, all the combat forces can be gathered together, so as to be able to resist the 40,000 troops that Fu Qin had assembled in Xiangwu County.

According to common sense, it is natural that the strong will attack the weak most certainly. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy's army had not yet arrived, it seemed to be the right thing to go north first to capture Xiangwu County. After all, there are only more than 20,000 people left in Xiangwu County today.

If you wait until Fu Liu's army rushes back, the Huashan army will be in a weak position in terms of numbers, which will be very disadvantageous for the Huashan army.

But Li Xin didn't think so, he was very confident in his soldiers. The key is to say that he wants to finish his work in one battle, completely destroy Fu Qin, the most powerful living force, so that Fu Qin can no longer turn over.

Judging from the current situation of Fu Qin, in addition to the more than 40,000 troops in Xiangwu County, which are about to gather together, there are only nearly 20,000 troops left on Fu Jian's side of Fu Fa. In order to resist Zhang Zuo's attack, those armies had already lost a lot.

In addition, most of those men and horses are new recruits, and it is no problem to use them to deal with the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, and if they are used to resist the Huashan army, they are simply not self-sufficient. Therefore, what really makes Li Xin value is only the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Fu Liu's hands, which are the people who have been stationed in Longdong since Fu Jian's time.

"Erhei sent someone to inform him, saying that he had taken Yan County and would rush to Xiangwu County as scheduled!" In the military tent, Li Xin sat with Zhou Tong and others, and Li Xin told everyone the latest news.

"What about the situation over there?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Fu Liu's army should arrive as soon as tomorrow morning! At that time, our opponents will be here! ”

"In that case, we can rest for the night! It's a pity that the other party already knows that we are here, otherwise, such a good opportunity, we can ambush Fu Liu's army halfway first! Hearing the news, Peng Lin couldn't help but say with pity.

"They have been fooled many times, so they will naturally be vigilant! If it weren't for the precautions against us, how could they have taken a long detour from Anding County this time, from the Jincheng side? Aren't you afraid of running into an ambush halfway from us? Li Xin couldn't help but smile at his thoughts.
