Avoid the pests of Yu Damiang's flute, as well as the mountain sheds and river thieves raised in Huaixi.

Thousands of official and military ships, carrying 20,000 soldiers and horses, countless materials and equipment, all the way unimpeded, through Qikou, Xunyang, Pengze, then Qiupu, Wuhu, quarrying, and then through Jiangning Jinling (well, Jiangning in the Tang Dynasty was a second-tier city, administratively under the jurisdiction of Runzhou, Runzhou is also now Zhenjiang, the place of science is in Jingkou), and finally arrived at Jingkou.

At the entrance of Beijing, it was raining drippingly, and he heard that Gao Yue's tooth army came all the way from Xiangyang Hanshui, and Han Huan, the envoy of the town navy, personally stood on the beacon at the foot of the mountain, and handed over the tooth army and materials ashore, as long as the review was completed, he sent this group of tooth army across the river to the opposite Yangtze Town, where Gao Yue was waiting.

In the rain, the drums were beating, and the crossbowmen, gunners, and tooth soldiers of the town's navy all stayed under the houses and corridors of the military town to hide from the rain, and looked at the central martial arts arena with some surprise.

And Han Wei at the beacon on the mountain, with his high eyes, was also stunned:

The generals of the Baoda army and the Fengyi army still stayed to put on shelter from the rain, and the four generals of the Dingwu army and the Yining army, totaling 8,000 infantry, and more than 3,000 cavalry, as well as 2,000 artillery soldiers, a total of 14,000 men, all went ashore and lined up in sequence along the martial arts field, the losing field, the river bank and the road at the foot of the mountain at the entrance of the capital.

The rain was even greater, the autumn rain in the southern boundary of Xuanrun, a trace of flying, with a thin and cool breath, splashed bursts of light dust and mist under the shoes of the soldiers of the Dingwu and Yining armies, but they were still motionless.

The battalion generals finished counting one by one, handed over the Wu book to the men's spear and horse envoys, and then they handed it over to Cai Fengyuan, the commander of the battle.

Immediately, Cai Fengyuan handed it over to Han Huan.

"I have heard for a long time that Gao Ji Gong is extremely strict in governing the army, and today I can see that it is worthy of being a strong soldier who destroyed Xifan." Han Wei sighed.

At the same time, Mrs. Yu, who was standing under the shed at the bow of the boat and watching this scene, remembered Ming Huaiyi's words before, and couldn't help but bow her head, "It seems that the Qiang of this party item is not completely exaggerated." ”

When Gao Yue's tooth army arrived in Yangzhou City, the entire Jianghuai was in a sensation.

Most people believe that Gao Yue will immediately take this tooth army as the core, and then raise a large number of troops in the seven states of Huainan to launch a full-scale attack on Huaixi.

At the same time, on the battlefield of the northwest front of Huai, Liu Chang and Zhang Wanfu led the Shenwei army was particularly active, and attacked successfully in the direction of Ruzhou, not only to keep the gateway of the eastern capital, but also to recover Wuyang, Xiangcheng and other cities, and then after Du Yadu, Liu Chang, Quhuan, Yanzi Chu, and Liu Yihuai, who came to help, led the Xuanwu army, after getting the Jianghuai tax supplies from Runzhou and Yangzhou after getting the smooth passage of Caoyun, the whole line counterattacked, all the way to Yuncheng.

Wu Shaoyang and Dong Chongzhi retreated on all fronts, defended Lingyunzha in the northeast of Yuncheng with 10,000 soldiers, and defended Yuncheng with 5,000 soldiers, preparing to consume the strength of the official army first, and then choose the opportunity to counterattack.

On the western front of Huaixi, Tangzhou Yu continued to storm the Wencheng Gate in Huaixi, and did not relax for a moment.

On the southern front, the Wuchang army made Li Jian mobilize the soldiers and horses of the three states of Eyue and gather in Yingcheng, and prepared to attack Anlu.

Now if Gao Yue really moves his troops to Shouzhou, then Wu Shaocheng will be in a dilemma of being attacked from all sides.

In the city of Runan, Wu Shaocheng was panicked and furious: the imperial court suddenly demanded the merchants of Jingmen, Yicheng, and Hanyang, and completely expelled his Huaixi forces, for which he lost more than 100,000 yuan of profits at one time, and even the ships and mansions that he had worked hard for many years were all confiscated, "Huaixi is already barren, so it is even worse......

If this continues, the court will be besieged and consumed alone, and he will have to suffer a catastrophe.

Wu Shaocheng, who was helpless, thought about it and thought about it, but couldn't think of any good strategy, and couldn't help but regret it greatly, why did he listen to Li Yuanping and Yang Yuanqing's bad idea in the first place, and sent a mountain shed to assassinate Zhao Jing, the squire of Zhongshu, but not only failed to make the official army retreat, but also changed to a more tricky Gaoyuejie town Huainan, and made himself the target of the public, and now Xuanwu, Ziqing, and Wei Bo all dare not stand on their side.

"If I wait for the officers and troops to join forces, I will be unable to fly even if I have wings!"

Sitting in the courtyard, Wu Shaocheng drank again and again with great sorrow, and unconsciously got drunk, shaking his head and sighing.

At this moment, his house slave Xian Xiong'er was carrying a wine jug by his side, so he reminded in a low voice: "Yang Yuanqing has joined the official army, why didn't the master simply kill Li Yuanping, and instructed him to be the culprit of the assassination of Zhao Jing, and dedicate his head to the imperial court, so that the imperial court would stop the expedition?" ”

Wu Shaocheng glared at Xian Yu Xiong'er and said, "Now that I and the official army have not won or lost, I will kill the mastermind rashly, which will not only make the army's morale chaotic and lose peace, but also may not be able to win the court's leniency." Isn't this suggestion to make me die faster? ”

That Xian Yu Xiong'er hurriedly slapped himself a few times, knelt in front of Wu Shaocheng, and said that he also saw that the master was anxious, so he said a few nonsense words, and hoped that the master would bear with him.

Wu Shaocheng shook his hand impatiently, and then instructed Xiong'er: "Tomorrow, you will lift the ban on Li Yuanping and let him come to our military mansion to plan the war." ”

The next day, Li Yuanping, who regained his personal freedom, came to the military mansion with his hair scattered, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he came to the military mansion and hugged Wu Shaocheng's knees, "A certain wish to die in return to the festival, just because Li Xilie, the king of Chu, had the grace of knowing a certain situation, and now the shrine of the king of Chu is in this Runan city, once the official army breaks through, not only will the house of the king of Chu not exist, but the shrine of the king of Chu will inevitably be destroyed, and my Huaining army will die in our generation!" ”

Wu Shaocheng was also in pain, so he asked Li Yuanping what countermeasures he had.

"Although Shenguang Cai Sanzhou is small, it is also time to fight to the death. The total population of our town is 400,000, and the number of soldiers is 40,000, but three or four out of ten are obtained by recruiting outlaws from the surrounding states and counties. Now simply let Shen Guangcai's households, each household issue one ding, stationed in Wufang in the west, Anlu in the south and Gushi in the east, and all the soldiers in these four places were withdrawn back to Runan, plus the four or five thousand elite tooth soldiers under the section, to concentrate on attacking Yuncheng on the northern front, as long as the official army is defeated in Yuncheng, we will win half of this gamble. ”

Hearing this crazy plan, Wu Shaocheng got up, touched his forehead, covered with cold sweat, and said to Li Yuanping: "My Wu clan has only been in Caizhou for more than ten years, and there is no great favor on the people of Huaixi. What did the people eat, and what did the soldiers eat? ”

"Can't hesitate any longer!" Li Yuanping gritted his teeth, "If you win, you have more chips than if you lose, if you hesitate, can it be that the imperial court and Gao Yue can let us go?" Now it is necessary to drive all the men as soldiers, and as for the cultivation and weaving of the fields, let the old and the weak and the women go to the top. No, if necessary, the women and their children shall take up arms, put on their armor, and go up into the city to resist them. ”
