The third day of Zhang Qian's crossing of the Gushui River and entering the defense area of the Xiangbei Army was the first day of the lunar month, and there was only one month left before entering the sixth year of Yanyou.

On this day, Han Qian ordered Su Lie and Zhao Wuji to lead their troops to cross the Gushui River from an earthen dam built in the upper reaches of Dushanjin and enter the east bank area.

Although Li Zhihe did not give a direct response, after Su Lie and Zhao Wuji led 6,000 horses and infantry into the east bank, the soldiers and horses of the Zuo Longque Army west of the Gushui River and close to the west bank also quickly withdrew westward.

Han Qian Lema stopped on the remnant embankment on the east bank, looking at the generals of the Xiangbei Army who were retreating to the west.

The pale and weak sun in the afternoon shone in the sky, and in the cold wind, it could not give people the slightest warmth.

"If Li Zhihe doesn't respond directly, then he has the initiative to provoke a military provocation, he may think that this will make us restrain our hands and feet, and we will not easily deploy troops to the west of the Gushui River, right?" Guo Rong said with emotion.

Although the Xiangbei Army took the initiative to withdraw from the camp adjacent to the west bank, before Li Zhihe gave a formal response, the west of the Gushui River was still the battle defense area of the Xiangbei Army.

Now they could see the scout cavalry of the Xiangbei Army, which was the closest to their front soldiers and horses, less than a hundred paces away, and both sides had their swords and bows in front of them, and there was a possibility of hand-to-hand combat and bloody clashes at any time.

It's just that at this moment, Han Qian couldn't care too much, and Kong Xirong ordered to assign more soldiers and horses, like a tide into the west bank, and ordered the forward soldiers and horses to break the sharp arrows, and use the broken arrows to shoot the scouts of the Xiangbei Army who were close to the attack, drive them out, and use the chariots and big shields to advance step by step, and the rear soldiers and horses entered the camp left behind by the Xiangbei Army......

The spy who infiltrated the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, last night the flying pigeon came back from the book, and the latest news of the Jin Kingdom came, which made Han Qian even more worried about the current situation.

Under the siege of the three-way soldiers and horses led by Shi Chengzu, the prince of Jin, Tian Weiye, the general of Luzhou, and Wang Yuankui, the envoy of the Chengde army, Taiyuan Mansion, which is known as the Xiongcheng in the north, failed to support the defense of Shi Jiyuan, the new emperor of the Jin State, for half a year, and completely fell at noon on November 16.

Led by Shi Jiyuan, the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and others, the last 30,000 elites of the Jin army were killed or surrendered, and all of them were destroyed.

The Mughurs seem to have anticipated this result very early, and three days after the slaughter of the city, on the 24th, the crown prince Shi Chengzu of the Jin Dynasty was canonized as the king of Yong, the Chengde army made Wang Yuankui the king of Hejian County, and the edict of Tian Weiye, the general of Luzhou, as the king of Dongliang County, was directly promulgated to the world in Taiyuan Mansion.

Judging only from the canonization names of these three people, it can also be expected that the 780,000 surrendered and affiliated troops led by Shi Chengzu and Tian Weiye will advance along the Fenshui River Valley to the Guanzhong (Yongzhou) area at the fastest speed after a simple rest; Except for some cavalry, most of the soldiers and horses in the early stage may have been mainly engaged in digesting the newly acquired land.

However, just because Tian Weiye, Shi Chengzu, and Wang Yuankui's troops were surrendered or subordinated, it cannot be assumed that their combat effectiveness must not be strong.

Wang Yuankui was able to become the envoy of the Chengde army to guard Dingzhou and Hengzhou, and his own ability and the combat effectiveness of the Chengde army were already considered by the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State to be able to block the Mengwu cavalry from moving south to Koubian.

And Tian Weiye was able to hold Luzhou for more than half a year under Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang, how could his strength be weak?

Tian Weiye was originally a general of Luwang Shi Jiyuan, and was ordered to defend Luzhou to resist the offensive of the Liang army for more than half a year, and he did his best, but then Liu Yunzhong was killed by the Muguls, and when Luzhou fell into siege again, it was already exhausted, and Tian Weiye was forced to lead his troops to surrender.

However, Luwang Shi Jiyuan then dragged more than 400 of his wives and children in Taiyuan Mansion to the market, regardless of men, women and children, all of them were killed by car splitting, which made Tian Weiye and Luwang Shi Jiyuan break off their relationship, and led the troops to besiege Taiyuan Mansion when they were still fierce.

In the end, it was Tian Weiye who led his troops to attack Taiyuan City first, forcing Luwang Shi Jiyuan and his sons, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs to the Taiye Pavilion of the Jin Palace, and then a fire caused more than 4,000 people to be buried in the fire.

At present, the Mengwu people are obviously the most satisfied with Tian Weiye's performance, and during the siege of Taiyuan City, they also gave priority to strengthening Tian Weiye's department, so that Tian Weiye led the troops to surrender to the Mengwu, leaving only 10,000 soldiers and horses, but after paying a heavy price to capture Taiyuan City, there are still more than 20,000 elites, and the strength is equivalent to Yongwang Shi Chengzu, slightly lower than the Chengde army led by Wang Yuankui.

After attacking Taiyuan City, nearly 20,000 troops will also be prioritized by Tian Weiye.

Even if there is no convenience of flying pigeons from Taiyuan to Yongzhou, I believe that Zhu Yu will not be able to get the news too long, which is destined to make it even more impossible for Zhu Yu to put many soldiers and horses on the southern front to prevent the Chushu coalition army, which means that there is less time left for him.

Thinking of this, Han Qian pulled the reins, and he was about to drive his horse down the river embankment and trample on the river ice to the east bank.

Seeing that Han Qian was going to go directly to the east bank, Huo Li and other attendants and military attachés did not dare to stop them, so they directly rode their horses before Han Qian, first went to test the strength of the river ice, and formed a warning circle on the east bank, in case the small sentry cavalry of the Xiangbei army wandered around the periphery.

Watching the Tangyi army cross the Gushui River into the west bank and unswervingly advance westward, Yao Xishui, Xu Jing and others accompanied Li Zhihe to stand on a low mountain in the south of Luoshan City, watching all this silently.

"The Marquis of Qianyang is also too deceitful, so I guess we don't dare to provoke a military provocation?" Deng Tai gritted his back molars and said resentfully.

The scale of the cavalry of the Tangyi army is also extremely limited, they reconnoitred that the Tangyi army only has about 2,000 cavalry transferred to the west wing, in addition to the more than 1,000 cavalry who originally crossed the Gushui River, which was advanced in cooperation with the sentinel horses, at this time there was a cavalry of more than 1,000 people, crossing the river from the direction of Dushanjin, breaking their toes and knowing that it should be Han Qian's tooth tent army.

Han Qian crossed the Gushui River as soon as possible?

Isn't this a firm belief that they don't dare to preemptively provoke a military provocation?

Deng Tai couldn't wait to drag up the halberd, so he led a team of men and horses to rush towards Dushanjin, which was better than guarding the nest here.

"Master Hou, more than 9,000 soldiers and horses of the Tangyi army have crossed the Gushui River, and their soldiers and horses in Huangchuan and Le'an have also been drawn and sent to the banks of the Gushui River, is it possible that we really want to let them force them into the eastern city of Luoshan?" Zhong Yanhu led a group of soldiers and horses to withdraw from the camp in the east, even if he had not served for a long time in front of Li Zhihe's tent, but today's breath-holding scene still made him angry, and he rushed to Li Zhihe's handsome banner, and asked loudly with unwillingness.

"You do what you are told." Li Zhihe said loudly with a gloomy face.

He was like a rock standing on top of a mountain cliff, and the cold wind called him, who had just passed forty years, and there were a few more vicissitudes on his face.

"Wouldn't Han Qian really have any means to recruit the defenders of Luoshan?" Seeing the Tangyi army crossing the Gushui River so firmly and urgently, Yao Xishui couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Although it was rumored that Han Qian's main purpose was to prevent them from absorbing the Luoshan garrison, Han Qian's performance at this time was too impatient.

As an official retained by Shen Yang at the beginning of the new compilation of the Dragon Bird Army, Zhang Qian has known Han Qian and Li Zhihe for nearly ten years or more, and looking at the indignant appearance of the generals of the Xiangbei Army, he also sweated in his palms.

He didn't know if Li Zhihe would suddenly order the troops and horses east of Luoshan City to stop retreating westward, and instead shrink and form a formation on his side, so as to stop the Tangyi army's westward advance.

Zhang Qian couldn't help but scold Han Qian in his heart for being too impatient and bullying people too much, didn't he do this, didn't he put his contempt for the Xiangbei Army directly on his face to show the world? This grandson concluded that Li Zhihe would endure this tone and retreat, and concluded that Li Zhihe did not dare to provoke a military provocation, and now is not a trap to lead the Tangyi army to attack halfway?

If he really wants to provoke a military provocation here, as Shen Yang's envoy, what will he do, and what can he do?

When Zhang Qian was worried, he also noticed that the green tendons on the back of Li Zhihe's hand holding the saber on his waist were exposed, and his hand trembled slightly, obviously trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart, he didn't know that after the Xiangbei Army and the Tangyi Army provoked a military provocation, the battle was full of blood, and what the chaos of Da Chu would become!

He suddenly realized that those people who were in Jinling City who were bent on watching the fire from the other side, probably few people would realize that this fire was really going to burn, and how big it would burn, right?

The westward advance of the Tangyi Army and the westward retreat of the Xiangbei Army lasted for one day.

It was an extremely depressing day.

At dusk, He Liufeng led the Tangyi forward 3,000 elite soldiers and horses to officially enter the camp of Xiangbei City in the east of Luoshan City.

The camp in the east of the city, along with the other three camps, was built by Li Zhihe in the past half a year, almost all of them were built close to the outer edge of the moat of Luoshan City, and the defenders of Luoshan were besieged in the city with layers of fence walls and earthen ridges and ditches.

On this day, the defenders of Luoshan, who had been besieged for more than half a year, did not try to take advantage of the chaos and break through from Dongcheng, and there was no other movement, as if everything that happened outside the city had nothing to do with them.

Early the next morning, Tan Xiuqun and Su Lie led their troops from the southeast and northeast directions respectively, approaching the east of Luoshan City, and formed a "product" formation with He Liufeng's troops, who had entered the camp in the east of the city in advance, and set up camp.

At this time, the Tangyi army had a total of more than 23,000 men and horses crossing the Gushui River, distributed in a triangle in the area of Luoshan City to the east of the Gushui River, which was not much open, with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, as the rear army, and was still stationed in the walled cities east of the Gushui River.
