Sima Wen deliberately pretended to be asleep, he thought that others didn't know, but Lu Chen saw through it but didn't say it.

Nanyang County has 100,000 Jin Central Army plus 50,000 County Army, it seems that the enemy army is only 150,000, but to capture Nanyang, it is necessary to fight a siege battle, and their own troops are less than the other party, want to capture a city, the hardships can be imagined.

The 200,000 Zhang army is out of Longshan, these two battles, Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi asked for their lives respectively, it seems that the number of enemies is different, but in fact, the difficulties that the two of them have to face are almost the same.

After Lu Chen's military order was issued, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes, and then asked: "Lord, the big war is imminent, although I am not talented in the next place, I am willing to go out with the army to help General Xiao Wang." ”

He has his own ideas, and now, the strategists under Lu Chen's account have almost accumulated a certain amount of credit, and he is the only one who has just entered this team, although his own soldiers have taken Guanshan County without blood, and he has a share of credit, but in his opinion, these are not enough. Liu Yuan also knew very well that if he wanted to be truly reused, he had to let Lu Chen see his ability.

And his initiative to ask for his life is exactly what Xiao Wang can't ask for, what is Liu Yuan's true ability, Xiao Wang is not very clear, but he is convinced of Lu Chen's knowledge, since Liu Yuan can stay by Lu Chen's side, and is respected as a strategist, then he will undoubtedly have an extra chance of winning if he helps him.

He immediately said to Lu Chen: "My lord, it would be great if Mr. Liu Yuan could help. ”

In fact, Lu Chen also intended to send a strategist to Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi to help, after all, these two battles are not trivial, and it can also be said that the enemy is strong and I am weak. Seeing this, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then ask Mr. Liu Yuan to assist General Xiao in capturing Nanyang, and Sima Wen to assist General Su in capturing Longshan." ”

Such a distribution can be said to be just in line with the minds of the four people, at this time, Su Muzhi asked again: "Dare to ask the lord, which army should the last general lead to?" ”

Now the 200,000 troops under Lu Chen, half of them are the new army that has only been stationed in Wuguan once, and half of them are the Pingzhou army that was brave and good at fighting.

It can be said that Su Muzhi and Xiao Wang, who doesn't want to command the Pingzhou army, they are a group of veterans who are like wolves and tigers, and when they give an order, absolutely no one retreats, and fighting a war is like not dying! And this question happened to be asked to the point, Lu Chen frowned deeply when he heard this, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Seeing this, Su Muzhi immediately said: "The last general suggested that General Xiao and I each lead 50,000 Pingzhou troops and 50,000 new troops. ”

The last general also agreed with General Su's proposal. Xiao Wang followed closely and said: "In this way, there are half of the veterans in the army, and under the leadership of the veterans, the new army will soon be veterans of the border city." ”

As commanders, the two of them can be said to have taken all aspects into account, and what the two of them said is also to the point! As far as a small corner of the battlefield is concerned, if a team of ten soldiers is all new troops, then it is very likely to be crushed in one blow! And if half of them are veterans, then driven by the veterans, the whole team will burst out with a fierce momentum that is not afraid of death!

Lu Chen nodded, and had no opinion on this.

Subsequently, he sent the fierce generals Zhao Chuan and Wu Yue to assist Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi respectively.

After the big thing was finalized, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The next day, Xiao Wang and Su Muzhi each ordered troops and went to the two places, and the supply of grain and grass for the two armies was respectively responsible for Xue Huairen and Li Miaocai, and Lu Chen had people post notices in the three counties and began a large-scale recruitment.

As Liu Yuan said, the current Lu Chen's reputation in the wind country is too high, and almost everyone in every household knows about it, and no one knows it. He raised his arms and shouted, and he responded to every call! The recruiting place, just like the original Pingyang County, is like a bazaar, which forms a strong contrast with the depressed Jin army recruitment office......

Nanyang County, Xiangzhou.

In fact, in the front, there are two counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang, but Zuo Shuang directly abandoned them, because the defense facilities of the county are not perfect at all, and the city is small, so it is extremely difficult to garrison. Therefore, Zuo Shuang mobilized all his troops to the county city defense, preparing to stop Lu Chen's southward pace here.

He led the central army of the Jin State with 100,000, plus the Nanyang County Army, a total of 150,000 troops, all stationed in Xiangzhou City, and Nanyang County is close to the capital, is one of the largest counties in the Wind Country, its city defense is solid, the economy is developed, and the city is hoarded with a large amount of grain and grass, which is very suitable for fighting a protracted defensive war.

And Xiao Wang has always been cautious in his use of soldiers, and he never takes risks. Although Zuo Shuang has clearly abandoned the two counties of Nanyang, when he led the 100,000 wind army to the direction of Xiangzhou, he still acted step by step, and it can be said that there were constantly secret agents of the military aircraft battalion shuttling back and forth along the way, and from time to time he passed various news from the front.

By the time Xiao Wang led his army to the city of Xiangzhou, it was already ten days later.

Looking at the overwhelming soldiers of the wind army outside the city, Zuo Shuang stood on top of the city, his face did not change much, but Fang Jun, the head of Nanyang County, was secretly grinning.

If it weren't for Zuo Shuang suddenly leading a large army to garrison, I'm afraid that at this time, Fang Jun would have surrendered to Kaicheng like the first Zhang Yu of Guanshan County.

But now that Zuo Shuang has arrived, all the military power in Xiangzhou has naturally fallen into the hands of Zuo Shuang.

For the neat appearance of the Feng army outside the city, Zuo Shuang nodded secretly, and said to Fang Jun beside him: "It seems that the commander of the enemy army this time seems to be very good at using soldiers, the opponent's army is vigorous, the soldiers and soldiers are so high, even if the war has not started, the commander can feel it......"

It would be better if he didn't say that, as soon as he said this, Fang Jun was even more worried to death, not only swallowed his saliva, but said with a dry smile: "Hehe...... Truly...... Indeed it is. ”

Zuo Shuang ignored him, but suddenly sighed slightly: "Red tassels and black armor, gale, what a familiar color......

After sighing, he immediately turned to his lieutenant general and asked, "Who is the commander of the opposing army!?" Have you found it all out!? ”

"General Hui, it's all clear." The adjutant general immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at the wind army outside the city and said:

"General, please see, there are two flags hanging on the other party's commander's position, Lu, which means that this is the army of the thief leader Lu Chen, and Xiao Zi, after careful investigation, should be Xiao Wang, the first commander under Lu Chen. This person once used the strategy of arrogance to set up a situation to lure 50,000 barbarians into the trap, and then annihilated the enemy army with a fire. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Shuang nodded, and said: "Go to the army to fight, it seems that this person is not easy to deal with, remember, stick to the city defense, without my general order, no one is allowed to attack rashly!" Don't fall for the enemy's tricks......"
