The East is white.

The morning sun was bleak, and the remnants of the soldiers who escaped from the Linzhang fortress lost their armor and lost their fighting spirit.

Commander Xu Cangyu's face was covered with blood, his tiger eyes were red, and there were several sword marks on his armor.

When he came to Zhao Sheng, he lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, the last general is incompetent, and he was attacked by the Jiangnan elite soldiers, causing the fortress to fall. ”

Zhao Sheng's face was hideous, even a little distorted, the Linzhang fortress changed hands, the Jingu fortress was difficult to support alone, Xu Cangyu was careless and should be killed.

However, his father was in the palace and was closely protected by the forbidden army, but he was still assassinated and almost died.

Sun Ming arranged in advance, and he didn't blame Xu Cangyu for underestimating the enemy.

After all, if he hadn't heard Zhao Yiren's report, he wouldn't have known the crisis the fortress was facing.

He arrived in the stars and the moon, still one step too late.

"Sun Ming has already had a plan, and the general is not to blame for this matter."

Xu Cangyu silently eased his breath, and said nervously: "Your Highness, the fortress has been broken, and the northern defense has weakened, hurry up and send an order to the sailors in Guankou City, telling them to be vigilant, if the Jiangnan infantry marches south, it will threaten Changchuan City!" ”

The fortresses that were horns of each other were breached, and the Jingu fortress was like a cripple with broken legs, and it was difficult to support it alone, and even if the city of Guan Kou fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"A certain person has already sent someone to Guan Kou City to inform General Liu." Zhao Shengdao.

Chop the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again!

At the beginning, he should not have listened to Sun Ming's suggestion to slow down the attack in the south and send Jun Chi Yuan Ci.

Not only did he rescue Yuan Ci, but also gave Sun Ming a chance to breathe.

Regardless of the situation on the southern battlefield, the northern battlefield alone is in a very dangerous situation, Zhao Sheng's face was cautious, and he clenched the hilt of his sword and asked Xu Cangyu: "What about the Qin army, how is the northern Qin army?" ”

Compared with the Jiangnan infantry in the Linzhang fortress, the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops displayed on the border are Jingzhou's fierce opponents.

Sun Ming was short-sighted and did not know whether to live or die to attack the Jingzhou army, which led to the split of two fortresses in Jinghe County.

"The Qin army is still standing still." Xu Cangyu reported.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhao Sheng exhaled a long breath, feeling very happy, and said, "The general quickly gathered the remnants of the army and went to Jingu Fortress." ”

Tungu Fortress.

The guard general Li Zongying, when he learned that there was a change in the Linzhang fortress, hurriedly led the army to help, but unfortunately he was one step late.

Zhao Sheng and Xu Cangyu led the remnants into the city, and Li Zongying was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After Li Zongying asked about the change in Linzhang Fortress, he looked at Zhao Sheng and asked: "Your Highness, you came from the royal capital overnight, could it be that the king knew in advance?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Cangyu also stared at Zhao Sheng.

That's right.

Why did Zhao Sheng come overnight, he didn't dig into the remnants just now, and he was also surprised when he heard Li Zongying ask.

Zhao Sheng Dao understood his intentions, clenched his fists, smashed on the desk and said angrily: "At night, Sun Ming bribed the forbidden army of the palace, and a large number of assassins lurked in the city and assassinated in the palace, but fortunately it has been calmed down. ”

Buying the forbidden army and entering the palace to assassinate?

"Sun Ming's miscellaneous is too arrogant, General Huang should lead the army to level the south of the Yangtze River." Li Zongying gritted his teeth and said.

"That's right, Sun Mingxue should be taught a lesson, lest he gain an inch." Xu Cangyu said.

"General Li, General Xu, Gaotang Prefecture Military Affairs, my father has sent the third brother to assist General Huang in handling it with full authority, it is imperative that we recover the Linzhang Fortress, rebuild the defense, eliminate the Jiangnan infantry, and alert the Qin army!" Zhao Sheng said.

In the battle of Gaotang Prefecture, Sun Ming's army did not have the slightest advantage, and the western part of Qianzhou, Tao Ce's hometown, had fallen into the hands of the Jingzhou army.

Sun Ming dared to make trouble in Qianzhou and Gaotang Prefecture, and Zhao Xing and Huang Sen Huyan could be spared.

During this time, Zhao Sheng cared more about the war in Jingzhou, and when it came to it, he had his own selfishness.

Zhao Tuoyu had three sons, and no heirs have yet been established.

was assassinated at night, and his health was ill, and he sent his three brothers to different places to preside over military affairs, in Zhao Sheng's eyes, this move was clearly training their three brothers.

The situation in Jinghe County is dangerous, if he can peel off the cocoon, eliminate the Jiangnan infantry, recover the Linzhang fortress, and resist the Qin army outside the border, he will definitely stand out among the three brothers.

Favored by his father, he has a chance to inherit the throne.

"Your Highness is right, it is time to recover the Linzhang Fortress." Li Zongying agreed.

Recently, the Qin army did not move, did not wave its army to the south, but did not evacuate!

Like a foraging tiger, it is staring at the north, and if there is an opportunity, it will definitely kill.

"Your Highness, there is plenty of food and weapons in the Linzhang Fortress, and it is extremely difficult to attack from the outside, and the last general suggests that they must launch an offensive before they repair the broken walls of the fortress!" Xu Cangyu said.

He led the army to garrison the Linzhang fortress for many years and knew how strong the fortress was.

The south is surrounded by mountains, the remaining three sides are all high walls built of huge stones, the city wall is more than ten zhang high, Yuan Ci sent the army to attack several times in the past, all of them did not break through, it can be called the copper wall and iron wall.

Unless it is broken from within, any army that attacks it will have to pay a heavy price.

"That's right!"

Zhao Sheng nodded, stared at Xu Cangyu and said: "General Xu is familiar with the fortress city defense, and the general is fully responsible for the war matters, and if the troops are insufficient, he can be transferred from the Jingu fortress, no matter how much it costs, he must recover it." ”

"Whoa!"

"General Li, order the soldiers of the two fortresses in the northern counties to assemble at the Jingu fortress and be vigilant against the Qin army in case of accidents." Zhao Sheng shouted sharply.

"Whoa!"

Li Zongying received the order.

..........

Qianzhou.

Floating City!

Jiangnan Water Village.

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was peaceful and full of joy.

On the soft couch, Sun Ming, known as the little overlord of Jiangnan, held the good news from Changchuan City, and a look of joy appeared in his handsome face.

There is indescribable excitement in the flowing smiles.

The generals lined up on both sides of the tent, Han Xun, Chen Shao, Yue Tai and others, and Guo Song and Chen Xiang, two staff, some stroked their beards, and some exchanged heads and ears, all smiling.

Zhao Tuo, seriously injured.

In the good news, it was written.

In the well-guarded Zhennan Palace, Zhao Tuo was easily attacked and killed.

Even if it did not meet the goal of Sun Ming's killing, the word serious injury is enough to show that Zhao Tuo's time is running out.

Almost at the same time, the elite soldiers who went to the north to aid Yuan Ci suddenly launched an attack on the Jingzhou army in the Linzhang fortress at night.

One of them is temporary, and it is also a great victory.

In Qianzhou, the sailors who came out of the Fucheng Water Village attacked the infantry and sailors under the command of Huang Senhu overnight, and they also had a small harvest.

To put it bluntly, the careful deployment of Sun Ming and others has achieved something.

Lu Boning, Ram Yue, stopped using troops to Zhao Chen, and led the troops to march to Zhao Tuo's Jiangzhou, and all arrangements were carried out smoothly.

It should be known that at first, when Sun Ming learned that the Qin army occupied Liulin City, he was reluctant to take Guo Song's proposal, united with Ram Yue, Lu Boning, assassinated Zhao Tuo, and carved up the four states of Jingxiang.

When he learned that the Qin army had stopped at Liulin City and could not move an inch without the assistance of the naval division, Huang Senhu led the army to strengthen the attack on him in Qianzhou, and it seemed that he had inflicted heavy losses on the Jiangnan naval division before the Qin army arrived.

Sun Ming had to take a risk!
