"Set up camp in dry, higher ground in the east and south of the city." Xiao Maha walked briskly up a hillside in the east of the city, which was a small camp in Xiliang, but by the time Nan Chen's main force arrived, the camp was empty.

Lu Guangda and the other generals turned around and left, while Xiao Maha walked straight to the highest point of the hillside, standing in this position, he could already clearly see the outline of Jiangling City in front of him.

This nightmare that has plagued Nan Chen for generations is in Xiao Maha's eyes at this moment. Nine years ago, Wu Mingche had returned from this city, and nine years later, Xiao Maha took advantage of the time and place, just to be able to end the wishes of several generations and the shame of the defeat of Mao Xue nine years ago.

Countless soldiers who were marching forward on both sides of the hillside, a general running back and forth and shouting, and the unjust souls and heroic spirits in the howling wind, all of them were busy around the city, and their eyes swept around the city.

It's a city that everyone is looking forward to.

Xiao Maha took a deep breath and remembered something: "By the way, didn't I receive the news of the meteor scouting before, General Dianwei's partial division has crossed the river, and even arrived in Jiangling City before us, why is it missing?" ”

Chen Yu hurriedly arched his hand: "General Qiyu, they have people who stay, waiting to report to the general, I don't know if the general wants to see him?" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Maha was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "These three little rabbit cubs are really big shelves, bring people up." ”

As Chen Yu beckoned, a scout walked over quickly and said in a deep voice: "General Dianwei is under the command of General Zuowei, see General Zuowei!" ”

Xiao Maha nodded: "What about Pei Zilieren?" and Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen, where did they run away with 3,000 people? ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "General Hui, General Dianwei, Xiao Senjun and Li Zhanzhu led the army directly around Jiangling City and went north. ”

"Going north?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, this huge Jiangling City was in front of him, Pei Zilie and they did not wait to join the army under Jiangling City, but went north on their own, what are they going to do, is it to compete with Yu Chi Yuan in Xiangyang?

Although Chen Yu knew that Pei Zilie and the three young men were not only bold, but also quite strategic, this did not mean that they really had the ability to compete with Wei Chi with the three thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, not to mention that whether it was military rations or blades, where was it so easy to raise troops on the border between Xiliang and Northern Zhou?

You must know that Xiliang has been "implementing" the policy of clearing the wilderness in the past nine years, and there are basically no villages around Jiangling City, except for the camps on the river beach, and the granaries of Xiliang are basically concentrated in the city, so even if Chen Jun wants to collect grain and grass on the spot, it is just a fantasy.

Therefore, in Chen Yu's opinion, it was too risky for Pei Zilie and them to lead troops north without asking for instructions. Of course, he is only a captain of the personal guard after all, and it is not his turn to say these words.

Xiao Maha frowned slightly: "This Lu Teng is in the city watching them go north?" ”

Although Xiao Maha knew that Lu Teng would definitely not rush out of the city to pursue, otherwise it was very likely that he would be stopped outside the city by the main force of Nan Chen, who arrived later, but it should not be like this to watch Pei Zilie and them swaggering around the city to the north, at least he should send cavalry to pursue or report directly to Xiangyang.

The scout hurriedly said, "No, General Dianwei, they are leading their troops to the west and then to the north. As for where he went, this subordinate did not know, and the subordinate was only ordered to wait for the general of the left guard here. ”

"Youtu!" Xiao Maha said in a deep voice, and Chen Yu had already unfolded the map at this time, and he had been by Xiao Maha's side for a long time, and he could figure out what Xiao Maha wanted to do.

The topography of the mountains and rivers outlined on this map is actually familiar to Xiao Maha, but at this time he can't help but check it again: "From Gangneung City to the west and then to the north······"

Chen Yu also came over curiously to take a look, and couldn't help but whisper: "Ji Nancheng?!" ”

Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, reached out and gently stroked the folds on the map, and said with a chuckle: "These three little rabbit cubs really have a big appetite. ”

"Then the general, let's ······" Chen Yu suddenly looked at Xiao Maha with some concern.

Xiao Maha gestured for the rest of the guards to put away the map, and turned his head to look at Jiangling City: "In any case, this Jiangling in front of you is the biggest piece of fat, after all, what Your Majesty wants is this Jiangling in the final analysis, so if the three of them want to fight, let them go, let's say that we can't leave this Jiangling behind, and cheapen others for nothing." ”

Chen Yu hurriedly bowed his head, that Jingzhou Thorn Shi stared at this piece of fat with red eyes, if the army was transferred at this time, wouldn't this Jiangling really be cheap Fan Yi.

——————————————

"Xiao Maha went to Gangneung City?" Fan Yi looked at the towering city not far away, and frowned.

A warlord in charge of scouting horses hurriedly nodded: "Just now, our outpost has been connected with the outpost of the general of the Left Guard, and they are arranging in the east and south of Jiangling City, and a large number of scouting horses have been scattered in the direction of the north of the city. ”

Fan Yi raised his whip hatefully: "It took a long time, but I was still a step slower." ”

A general who followed him hurriedly said: "Why should the assassin be in a hurry, although we are one step slower, but isn't his general Zuowei the first to arrive, who would have thought that this time he would let that partial division take the lead." ”

Fan Yi sneered: "I really underestimated this Pei Zilie before, but this time I really didn't give a certain stumbling block." But this time, it's good, he ran fast with 3,000 people, and now he has run in front of Xiao Maha, the credit for being the first to rush to Jiangling City, he didn't get it, Xiao Maha, don't think about it. ”

Thinking of something, Fan Yi then asked: "By the way, where is Pei Zilie now, could it be that he has been waiting under the city?" ”

The battle lord in charge of probing the intelligence hurriedly said: "There has been no shadow for a long time, before General Dianwei led the army to the west, and then to the north, our sentry cavalry also greeted them at that time, but after that, everyone went their separate ways. ”

Fan Yi suddenly frowned slightly: "To the northwest, what is there in the northwest?" Could it be that this Pei Zilie left Jiangling City in front of him and went to fight Zhangchuan County? ”

The territory of Xiliang is so large, in the northwest of Jiangling City, there is only one Zhangchuan County that can be called a target, but Zhangchuan County is still some distance from here.

A general said with a smile: "Assassin Shi, you can joke, this Zhangchuan County is nominally in Xiliang, but in fact it is controlled by the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are not many garrisons in the city at all. ”
