More than ten days have passed.

Ji Xuanling, Shen Tuxiu, Wu Yuankui, and Ruan Chengcheng returned from Changchuan City early.

The Qin army and the Chu army from all walks of life waited for the day, but they had to stand still.

Ji Xuanling was angry and angry.

even scolded the king of Qi.

More than ten days ago, when Ji Xuanling returned from Changchuan City and wanted to march south, Huang Haoran sent someone to quickly whip up the horse and send a secret message from Xianyang.

The letter wrote that the envoys of Qi led the envoys of Zhao, Korea, Wei, and Yan, and Qi Qi arrived in Xianyang City, and openly asked to allow the armies of the Five Kingdoms to go to Dakang to fight through Qin.

For a long time, Ji Xuanling regarded Dakang as his own meal, encroaching on it step by step, and monopolizing Dakang.

If it weren't for the fact that without the assistance of the naval division, the southern expedition would be in a disadvantageous position, and he would not even invite the Chu army.

Who knows, King Qi is actually stirring up trouble in the rear.

Now, the State of Qin is not afraid of the State of Qi, if the King of Qi dares to be arrogant, Ji Xuanling does not mind sending troops to teach the King of Qi a lesson.

However, the situation in the south is very good.

The assassination of Zhao Tuo, Sun Ming, Ram Yue, Lu Boning, and the leading troops fighting everywhere were a good time for the Qin army to seize the south.

The state of Qi pinned down in the north and sabotaged his plans.

Three days ago, envoys from the five countries came to Liulin City and made another request.

When Ji Xuanling wanted to expel the envoys of the Five Kingdoms, Jia asked for a suggestion and agreed to allow the Five Nations Alliance to enter Dakang. However, from the Qin land, you must offer gold and silver, if you do evil in the Qin land, there will be no forgiveness.

In addition, when the coalition forces entered Dakang, they were not allowed to get involved in Jingxiang and Jiangnan, and they were not allowed to harass the Qin army.

After careful consideration, Ji Xuanling adopted Jia Wendao's suggestion.

This move forced the combined forces of Qi Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei to confront Zhao Chen, and for him, weakening and weakening Zhao Chen could give the Qin army a chance.

In order to guard against the coalition forces in Qindi, Ji Xuanling sent Gongsun Ang to sit in Hangu Pass, transferred Xing Buying from Hangu to Liulin City, and sent Wu Jiling and Duan Mengzang to lead the army back to the division and defend Xianyang.

I have delayed a lot of time, and if I delay it again, I may miss the opportunity.

Sun Ming's army, which had inflicted heavy losses on the Jingzhou army in the Linzhang fortress, tore a gap in the defense line north of Changchuan City, which was undoubtedly helping the Qin army in the war.

When the generals gathered, Ji Xuanling glanced at Jing Hongyang and said, "Lord Wang, the Qin army is on the march, and the prince is bothered to give General Han an order, so that General Han will lead the sailor to attack Ancheng and attract the attention of Zhao Tuo's sailor.

The Qin army seized the opportunity and stormed Guankou City. ”

Guan Kou City is the gateway to Changchuan City, and the capture of Guan Kou City and the capture of Changchuan City are just around the corner.

What's more, Zhao Tuo's territory is mostly in the south, and the elite are mostly in Qianzhou, but the governance office is in Changchuan City, which seems to be lonely.

Once Changchuan City was captured, Zhao Tuo's foundation was unstable and he was very tolerant of encroachment.

Hearing this, Jing Hongyang came out of the queue and said, "King Qin, General Han has led the sailors to wander on the Xiangjiang River for several days, waiting for your order. However, the question of money and food...? ”

"Don't worry, seize Changchuan City, give 20% of the money and grain in the city to the Chu State, if General Han leads the army to hit Zhao Tuo's sailors, this king will give you 30%." Ji Xuanling said generously.

"King Xie, go and give an order immediately!" Jing Hongyang left.

"Your Majesty, Jing Hongyang bastard, deliberately blackmailed!" Shen Tuxiu said angrily.

Jia Wendao went to Shouchun and negotiated peace with the king of Chu, the king of Chu only asked for Sun Ming's territory and money and grain, and now Jing Hongchang actually intended to get involved in the money and grain of the four states of Jingxiang.

Wolf ambition, insatiable greed!

"Hahaha, the general is angry, the Qin army still needs to use the Chu State Water Division, temporarily hand over the money and grain to them for safekeeping, and in the future, the Qin army will take it back at any time!" Ji Xuanling said with a chuckle, his eyes swept across the generals and said: "Generals, prepare for war quickly, if the water division in Guankou City leaves, immediately wave the army to the south, and first capture the Linzhang Fortress and the Jingu Fortress." ”

"Whoa!"

The generals shouted in unison.

Two days later!

Jing Hongyang came to report that Han Daochang led the army along the Xiangjiang River and appeared in the northeast of Jingzhou, attracting the attention of the Jingzhou army.

Zhao Sheng, who was sitting in the Jingu fortress, had no choice but to dispatch Liu Muyue, who was stationed in Guankou City, to lead 80,000 sailors to meet the battle, and set up defenses in the Ancheng area of the Xiangjiang River.

In Jinghe County, except for the Jingzhou army in the Jingu fortress, there were not many enemies in front of the Qin army.

However, it was still very difficult to capture the Jingzhou army in the two fortresses and the elite of Jiangnan.

When Ji Xuanling went south, he secretly went to two fortresses.

At the beginning, Zhao Tuo was on guard against Yuan Ci's tiger army, and built two fortresses in Jinghe County into two fortresses, namely Jinggu Fortress and Linzhang Fortress.

The two fortresses are very close to each other, as if two fierce tigers are lying in the north of Changchuan City.

On weekdays, each side defends one side, and when it comes to battle, they use each other as horns, defend each other, and kill each other.

At present, the Linzhang fortress has changed hands, and the Jingu fortress is still a tiger blocking the front of the Qin army.

If you want to fight it, you will go through a fierce battle.

In order to ensure the victory of the Qin army in the first battle, when the Qin army marched south, Ji Xuanling sent Lu Linxuan and Lu Kang as the left army to storm the Jingu fortress, and Shen Tuxiu and Gai Wenguang were sent to the right army to besiege and kill the Jiangnan elite of the Linzhang fortress.

He, together with Di Zhongkang, Di Zhongtai, and Yu Changxiong, led a large army, looking for an opportunity to enter the mountains from the plain between the two fortresses and go to Guankou City.

Taking advantage of Liu Muyue, the defender of Guankou City, he led his army to Ancheng in Xiangjiang County to resist the Chu army and capture Guankou City.

In this way, the Qin army easily forced into Changchuan City.

At noon, the three armies set out.

At dusk, the army arrived in Jinghe County.

The next day, near two fortresses.

At this time, the spies came to report that before the Qin army arrived, all the Jiangnan elites in the Linzhang fortress fled and destroyed the Linzhang fortress by the way.

Hearing the sound, Ji Xuanling was overjoyed.

Jia asked, but Xu Wenda's face was full of sorrow and worry.

"Your Majesty, the elite of Jiangnan in the Linzhang Fortress is evacuated, Ruochen's guess is right, Sun Ming wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, borrow Zhao Tuo, Ram Yue, and Lu Boning's army to weaken the Qin army, and then wait for the opportunity to move and annihilate the Qin army." Xu Wenda expressed his concerns.

Qin and Sun Ming had a grudge against killing his father, Sun Ming planned for a long time, and did not hesitate to give up part of the territory of Jingxiang Sizhou, and conspired with Ram Yue and Lu Boning, which shows how much hatred Sun Ming has for Qin in his heart.

"The king is in the light, Sun Ming is in the dark, and we should really be careful." Jia asked, for fear that Sun Ming would have some shady plan to sneak attack the Qin army at a critical moment and disrupt the pace of the Qin army's conquest.

Ji Xuanling did not refute Jia Wenda's speculation.

The Qin army went on an expedition, and the four states of Jingxiang were close to the south of the Yangtze River, and when the Qin army did not have a water division, there were many constraints.

"Wen Da, ask, no matter what Sun Ming's plans are, before the Qin army captures Guan Kou City, I believe he will not act rashly!"

He was able to design to eradicate Sun Xun outside Wuwei City, and he had his own plan to inflict heavy damage on Sun Ming.

Now, the Linzhang fortress was destroyed, and he temporarily changed the military order, ordering Shen Tuxiu and Gai Wenguang to follow him to the south, all the way to the east and west, occupy the county near Guankou City, and concentrate the advantages of elite to cross the river and attack Guankou City.
