Nan Chen, Yidu.

"What the hell is this Fan Chang doing?!" Huo Ran, a middle-aged general with a full coat, slapped the letter on the table.

Eight feet long, unusually burly, and his eyes are like sharp swords, it is none other than Nanchen Jingzhou Thorn Shi Fan Yi. This Nanchen Chongchen frowned at this time, his hands trembled slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of anger or disappointment.

The rest of the generals and staff in the council hall subconsciously held their breath, most of them had been following Fan Yi for a long time, and even some of them were Fan Yi's personal generals, who were brought up by Fan Yi, but after following Fan Yi for so long, they really rarely saw their own assassins so angry.

Especially Fan Chang is still a very stable one among Fan Yi's nephews, Fan Yi originally praised him, I don't know what kind of basket Fan Chang poked out today.

Of course, what makes the generals feel even more uneasy is that most of their family members are in Gong'an, Songzi and other places, and now that there is a problem with the public security, it will make them worry about their families to some extent.

And Fan Yi stood up slowly, his gaze swept over all the generals in the hall, and then fell on the map. This map, which details the battle situation from Yidu to Jiangling, clearly marks every encounter between Fan Yi's scouts and the enemy.

Facts show that Xiliang is indeed shrinking his forces these days, and even within a radius of thirty miles from Yidu, there is no longer a figure of Xiliang scouts.

It seems that he really can't sit on the Diaoyutai steadily, Fan Yi shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect Fan Chang to be so cowardly and incompetent, and he could be regarded as looking away before. But it's no wonder that Fan Chang is thinking about this, after all, there are too few people left for him, even if Fan Chang is a hard bone, he will inevitably be forced to open the granary door by others.

Once there is a conflict, or even a death or injury, it is even more difficult to hide it. When Chen Ji investigates it, it is estimated that the Fan family will really be wiped out.

At least not yet. Fan Yi gently tapped the palm of his hand, he didn't know what Xiao Maha was thinking at this moment, but he knew that he had to take some action, after all, it was his handle that fell into the hands of others.

Everyone's tacit understanding needs to be maintained by some measures. Whether it is Xiao Maha or Pei Zilie, the electric power general that he didn't pay attention to before, it is not an easy character to deal with now, since he has come to this point, Fan Yi has no other choice.

"This Jiangling City is not small, but it is not big, I wonder if this Xiao Maha can still give a certain mouthful of soup to drink?" Fan Yi muttered a few words self-deprecatingly, and then Huo Ran turned around, "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

In the lobby, the generals who couldn't leave Fan Yi responded with a bang.

————————————

The barren grass swayed in the river breeze, and in the midst of the barren grass, there was hardly any trace of the road that had not been walked by a large group of men and horses for many years—the dense barren grass around it was enough to block everyone's view.

The sound of hurried footsteps drew closer, and groups of men and horses ran forward in waist-deep grass.

"Quick, keep up!" Xiao Shilian reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse and yelled loudly.

At this time, Li Xinchen also rode forward from behind, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "The sun is already in the west, it is estimated that it will be dark in less than two hours, we must rush to Wangbeizhai before it gets dark." ”

"How far is it?" Xiao Shilian turned around and asked, concise and to the point.

Li Ping, who was beside Li Xinchen, hurriedly stretched out his hand to unfold the map, and Li Xinchen looked around, squinted his eyes and turned to look at the map, and stretched out his hand: "The rivers and beaches around here are all barren grass, there is no hillside or anything, how can you see it?" However, it is estimated that according to our way, it should be about the same in the evening. ”

"Then do you want to cross the river today?" Xiao Shilian then asked, obviously with high morale.

Wangbei Village is a small camp, set up on the riverside, its purpose is self-evident, naturally to monitor the movement of the other side. Wangbeizhai is located in the south of Songzi City, and Songzi City is the forefront of the whole southern part of Jingzhou, to the northwest is Zhangchuan County of Xiliang, and to the southwest is Jiangling.

This Wangbei Village is only marked with a small symbol on the map, but it is the closest camp in Nanchen to Jiangling City, and it can really be said that it faces Jiangling City across the river.

Therefore, as long as Li Xinchen and they have this condition, it is not impossible to directly cross the river at night after arriving at Wangbeizhai.

"The brothers are too tired, and they must not know what is going on in the dark, so they may suffer a great loss if they act rashly at this time." Li Xinchen said thoughtfully, "So it's best to wait until tomorrow morning when we find out the situation at dawn." ”

Xiao Shilian didn't insist too much, and it was a little unrealistic to kill Jiangling City with 3,000 soldiers and horses, Xiao Shilian didn't have the courage to give him 3,000 people, he really dared to fight Jiangling, but he also had to consider the feasibility.

After all, what is needed now is victory, not mere sacrifice.

"Let's go, let's ······ on" Li Xinchen was about to take a step, but the team in front of him paused, and then people dodged to both sides of the road, and Pei Zilie rushed over with a few personal guards.

"I was looking for the two of you, but it turned out that both of you were there, which saved a lot of trouble," Pei Zilie said with a smile, handing over the military report in his hand, "The news sent back by the scouts in front of me, just two hours ago, Fan Yi led the army out of Yidu, broke through the Jingmen wharf, captured a large number of ships, and is now crossing the river." ”

"Fan Yi, cross the river?" Obviously, the impact of this news was too great, so that Xiao Shilian was dumbfounded, and he didn't even know what to say.

Pei Zilie nodded: "This Fan Yi is really also a character, he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai when he didn't do it before, but now he starts to do it, this is called a very spicy one, the camp on Jingmen Mountain and the wharf under the mountain are the only nails in the south of the Yangtze River for Xiliang and Northern Zhou, but they have worked hard for nine years, and they were pulled out by Fan Yi as soon as they came up." ”

Jingmen Mountain is a famous mountain outside the city of Yidu to guard the big river, there are peaks in the north along the big river, and the long beach is connected in the south, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is called "the west of Chu". Although the mountain is not tall, but the victory is important in the geographical location, so after Wu Mingche retreated, the Western Liang took the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty across the river to take the key place between Songzi City and Yidu City, and built a camp and a wharf as a foothold to attack Nanchen.

Over the years, although Fan Yi has not had the idea of fighting Jingmen Mountain, but after all, Xiliang has been concentrating on Jingmen to operate, garrisoning heavy troops, and having a sailor to guard the river, so it is a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw down, once the war starts, it means that a full-scale war between Xiliang and Nanchen will break out, and Fan Yi is not capable of taking such a risk even if he is greedy for this Jingmen Mountain.

After all, Nan Chen's focus has been in Huainan over the years, and with the soldiers and horses in Fan Yi's hands, it is still a little stretched to defend the city, let alone attack.
