In the southeast of Zhenyang City, at the mouth of Zhenshui Gorge, Wang Meng, the governor of the capital, is inspecting the defense, in order to defend Zhenyang, he has used all the methods he can think of, although Zhenyang does not dare to say that it is solid, but he is still confident in guarding the last month.

However, there is no impregnable city in the world, and Zhenyang is no exception, and there are still hidden dangers under the perfect city defense.

The first is the location, Zhenyang is located on the north bank of Zhenshui, and the reason for this is that Zhenyang Castle was originally built with special considerations, one of the important purposes of which was to guard against enemies in the south direction.

To put it bluntly, Zhenyang, like Qujiang, is the garrison of the Central Plains Imperial Court in Lingnan, and to guard against the rebellious southern slang and bureaucrats, even if the situation is rotten, they must stick to a piece of territory at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains, and hold an important foothold for the main force of the official army to quell the rebellion.

East Hengzhou, where Qujiang is located, and West Hengzhou, southwest of the river, were originally divided from Hengzhou, and the administrative division of Hengzhou was set up to echo the north and south of Guangzhou in the south.

Guangzhou Prefecture governs Panyu by the sea, and the officers and soldiers can go directly to Panyu by sea from Jiankang; Qujiang River is located at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains, is the confluence point of Hengpu Water and Takishui into Qinshui, has the convenience of water and land, and is an important stronghold on the land route of the official army to Lingnan.

And Zhenyang is the southern gateway of the Qujiang River, once Guangzhou is in trouble, the Qujiang garrison can reinforce Panyu by boat through the Qinshui River down the river through Zhenyang, if Panyu falls, the slang and bureaucratic army in the north must conquer Zhenyang in order to invade the Qujiang River.

Therefore, the Zhenshui flowing from the south of the city is the natural moat of Zhenyang, which is one of the reasons why the city was built on the north bank of Zhenshui.

As a result, now the situation has reversed, after the fall of Qujiang, the enemy came from the north, although Wang Meng immediately asked people to dig a ditch and divert water to make an emergency moat, but it was still not as good as Zhenshui.

This is only the first hidden danger, and the second hidden danger is susceptibility to water attacks.

It is not that Zhenyang City is vulnerable to water attack, but the south bank of the south bank of the city is vulnerable to water attack, Zhenshui flows out of the gorge in the southeast direction of Zhenyang, and then turns northwest into Qinshui, as long as the enemy builds a dam to store water in the upper reaches of Zhenshui, and then digs a dam to release water, the surging water will directly sweep across the south bank of Zhenshui on the west side of the gorge.

At that time, the slang and wingman barracks stationed on the south bank will be finished.

This is determined by the topography near Zhenyang, it is said that it should not be built on the south bank, but Zhenyang City can not accommodate so many soldiers, if there are many officers and soldiers, Wang Meng is very confident in the northern suburbs of the city, using it as a barrier to resist the Zhou army.

However, most of the teams in these slang and wingmen are too poor in combat effectiveness, and the field wave battle is not enough to succeed and defeat, once they collapse and run back, they can't open the city gate, and they can't open the city gate, so they can only let these soldiers set up a village in the south of the city, that is, on the south bank of Zhenshui, and enter Zhenyang through the pontoon bridge to help defend the city.

In this way, it is necessary to beware of the Zhou army's old tricks to reapply water attack, and the upper reaches of Zhenshui is Qingyuan County, whose county governance Wengyuan and Anyuan County are only separated by a mountain, and now they have been captured by the Zhou army, so the probability of the opponent's water attack is more than ninety.

Since the probability of being attacked by water is very high, of course Wang Meng can't sit still, and the sites of the camps on the south bank are all on higher ground, which is a place that cannot be flooded when the flood has been flooded over the years.

Now it has not yet entered the rainy season, so even if the Zhou army uses Zhenshui to carry out water attacks, Chen Jun will not suffer too much loss as long as he pays attention to the terrain, and Wang Meng has learned a lesson and set up a stockade at the mouth of the gorge, so that people have to measure the water level every day and night, which lasted for many days.

The water level had to be measured every hour of the day, and once the water level dropped significantly, it meant that the upstream was impounding, which was the prelude to the Zhou army's water attack, and measures had to be taken immediately to prepare the camps on the south bank to prevent the flood.

This is also the place that Wang Meng is most concerned about, and he has to come here to take a turn when he has time, so as not to be lazy and finally cause a great defeat to the official army.

There is a wooden stake standing on the shore of Zhenshui, and there is a trace in the position of the water, which Wang Meng personally cut out with a saber, this is the water level marking line of Zhenshui, and he must look at it with his own eyes every time he comes, so as not to make a perfunctory mistake.

Seeing with his own eyes that the water level of Zhenshui had not changed significantly, Wang Meng was relieved, and after a few words of the guard, he rode back, and he wanted to inspect the camp on the south bank to see if there were any new hidden dangers.

The south bank camp is stationed in the slang and wingmen from all over the country who rushed to help the war, and the slang marshal and cave master to which they belong are naturally not subordinate, if so many people get together on weekdays, there will definitely be constant contradictions, but now there are people in the camp who talk and count, and there is no chaos.

Wang Meng wants to sit in Zhenyang, of course, he doesn't have time to take care of the broken things in the camp on the south bank, and now there are two people in charge of the south village: Chen Fozhi, the assassin of Xihengzhou, and Feng Xuan, Gao Liang.

There are three wealthy families in Lingnan, namely the Chen family of Luzhou, the Feng family of Nanlu and the Ning family of Anzhou, these three wealthy families were originally families who moved south from the Central Plains, and after settling down in Lingnan, they have merged with the local slang and bureaucrats for several generations to become a powerful party.

Chen Fozhi was born in the Chen family of Luzhou, and the county is Yanling in Yingchuan County, while Feng Xuan was born in the Feng family of Nanlu, and his ancestors were the Nanyan royal family who went south to avoid trouble.

There is prestige and strong soldiers, and whoever is said to be killed will be killed, where do the slang commanders and cave masters in various places dare to make times.

There is also Anzhou Ning's family, because Anzhou is too far away from Donghengzhou, so he failed to send people to lead troops to help, of course, Anzhou, where Ning's is located, is just the same name as Zhou Guoshan Nan'anzhou but has nothing to do with it.

Although the representative of the Ning clan and Shi Ning, the assassin of Anzhou, failed to rush to Zhenyang, Wang Meng was already relieved that Chen and Feng were there, especially Feng Xuan's arrival, which could completely reassure him.

"The northern captives are strong, and the official army suffered heavy losses after the defeat, and two leaders came to assist the official in guarding Zhenyang."

"Wang Dudu, please rest assured, we will lead the troops here to help in the battle, and we will work together to drive the northern captives out of Lingnan!"

The loud words came out of the mouth of the young Feng Xuan, if it were someone else, Wang Meng would not easily believe it, but since it was Feng Xuan who said it, it would be absolutely no problem, because what this young man said was what Mrs. Tai meant.

South Road Feng Clan, there is another wealthy family standing beside him, that is Gao Liangxian Clan.

Gao Liang Xian clan is the local clan in Lingnan, the world is the leader of Nanyue, across the mountains, more than 100,000 tribes, as early as the end of the Qin Dynasty when Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue country, the leader of the Xian clan took gifts to Panyu to meet Zhao Tuo.

The Feng family on the south road to Lingnan to avoid trouble, although the strength was strong, it was always a little worse, until Feng Xuan's grandfather Feng Bao married the daughter of the Xian family, and married strongly, achieving the first wealthy family in Lingnan: Feng Xian's family.

Feng Xian's family is not the male son of the Feng family, but Feng Xuan's grandmother Xian Shi, that is, the heroine of the female who is known as Mrs. Xian, Lingnan's Dinghai Shenpin, whose prestige is unmatched, Chen Guo named her Mrs. Shilong, so everyone respectfully called Mrs. Xian Mrs. Tai.

Feng Xuan is the grandson of Mrs. Tai, and led the troops to Zhenyang to assist Wang Meng in defending the city, which itself shows Mrs. Tai's attitude.

Not to mention that the Chen and Feng families have always been good friends, Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan are friends, with the two of them in charge, Wang Meng does not have to worry about the disobedience of the slang and wingmen who gathered in Nanzhai.

"Chen Zhijun and Feng Fujun, this time the northern captivity is large, and its commander is cunning and changeable with his troops, so he must not take it lightly, this official is in Zhenyang, and there are two laborers in Dazhai on the south bank!"

Wang Meng spoke very politely, but Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan did not dare to be lazy, and said in a loud voice, "The lower officials are willing to serve the country."

It is useless to talk too much about the scene, it is important to talk about business, Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan unified their opinions in advance, and directly expressed their worries:

"Governor Dadu, our army is fully prepared to defend Zhenyang, and the northern captives will definitely not be able to attack it in a hurry, but with so many soldiers and horses gathered here, the consumption of grain and grass is quite large, and if it continues to be consumed like this, our army may not be able to bear it."

"What do you mean?"

"I know my own affairs, if I want to go out of the city and attack the northern captives, it will definitely not work, but it is not good for the other party to do it like this if it doesn't attack, why don't you find a way to let them attack it?"
