When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it is only sixty miles from Yongcheng to Xiayi County, where Shi Renyu is stationed, the main force of the Huainan Army is now in Fuli County, and the distance from Xiayi is nearly two hundred miles, and it takes more time for the main force of the army to arrive.

If Yang Wu hesitated, it was very likely that he would miss the best opportunity to go north to meet Wei Bo's army.

"Up to now, the northern feudal towns have not sent troops to respond to His Highness, whether it is the King of Jin or Liu Rengong, they have all chosen to watch from the wall; This shows that the momentum caused by His Royal Highness is not big enough, coupled with the impact of the Battle of Meiyuan, Liu Zhijun's defeat of Li Maozhen and Yang Chongben's coalition forces in the first battle, which made them choose to wait and see.

If His Royal Highness can defeat the Liang army again, King Jin and Liu Rengong will definitely not sit idly by!

In addition, judging from the information provided by Shi Renyu's messenger, the land of the six states of Weibo, except for Wei Prefecture, which is directly controlled by Luo Shaowei, is now controlled by generals from the tooth soldiers. If His Royal Highness can defeat Zhu Quanzhong again, these Wei Bo generals will definitely not let go of this opportunity to rebel.

At that time, with the containment of King Jin and Liu Rengong, and the rebellion of Wei Bo, Zhu Quanzhong will not be able to go south to fight for Suzhou for at least a year. Only then will His Highness be able to truly get out of this quagmire in the north! Guo Chongtao finally suggested.

Yang Wu made up his mind to send troops immediately, but there was another dispute among the generals over the choice of the leader.

According to Guo Chongtao's strategy, among the three routes of troops, it is the first road that really takes on the important task.

The army does not need too many troops along the way, but if you want to seize the opportunity to defeat the Liang army, you must have a brave and resolute general.

From this point of view, Zhang Xun, Zhou Ben and Wang Maozhang can almost take on this important task, they are arguing with each other, and they all want to get this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Yang Wu had no choice but to let them draw lots to decide, but in the end, it was the veteran Zhang Xun who got the opportunity to lead the troops.

On the same day, Zhang Xun led 5,000 elite soldiers to quickly set off north, avoiding the avenues as much as possible along the way, only taking small roads, and marching at the fastest speed.

At the same time, Yang Wu asked Hou Zan to lead the cavalry to be responsible for driving away the Liang scouts to minimize the possibility of Zhang Xun being discovered.

Then, Wang Maozhang led his 20,000 troops to the north in the name of the vanguard, while Yang Wu personally led the rest of the main force as a follow-up.

Thirty miles south of Xiayi County, Wei Bojun stopped here to rest.

"Is that really what the prince of Wu told you?" After receiving Yang Wu's reply, Shi Renyu frowned.

After hearing that Zhu Quanzhong had already raised a large army to fight, Shi Renyu did not dare to resist at all and led the rebels south, wanting to enter the territory controlled by the Huainan Army as soon as possible.

However, in the past two days, Wei Bo's army has robbed on a large scale, although it has greatly boosted the morale of the army and increased everyone's enthusiasm for rebellion, but this has also brought a bad effect, that is, there are too many things to rob, which greatly affects the speed of the rebels' march.

For this reason, Shi Renyu repeatedly ordered all departments to throw away their heavy belongings, leaving only light and easy-to-carry things on the road, but the results achieved were not very good, and no one gave up their things easily.

Although Shi Renyu was worried, he didn't dare to force it, after all, the army had just rebelled, and if he was forced too quickly, who knew if these generals would arrest him again and join Zhu Quanzhong.

Therefore, the speed of this southward journey was very slow, and it was only a thirty-mile march in a day.

Fortunately, there was finally a reply from Huainan, and Yang Wu had decided to raise an army of 100,000 to meet them.

The good news soon spread throughout the army, boosting the morale of the rebel generals, who were still a little panicked.

Although the Liang army was strong, after so many days of fighting before, the strength of the Huainan army was also obvious to all, and the prince of Wu, who was known as a hundred victories, personally led the troops, and everyone was naturally more confident.

However, while Yang Wu told them that reinforcements were about to arrive, he gave Shi Renyu an order: they must resist the Liang army here and buy time for the army to go north to meet them!

Yang Wu's order made Shi Renyu stumped.

Now Zhu Quanzhong is going south to pursue them, although he gathered his troops in a hurry, the number of troops going south this time should only be about 80,000, but it is also 80,000 Liang troops!

How could he resist the other party with just the 20,000 Wei Bo troops under his command?

But if Shi Renyu did not obey Yang Wu's military orders, now he had created a rebellion against the Liang army, and defeated Li Si'an's army in the first battle, killing nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Liang army. If he offends Yang Wu again, then he really has no way out.

Therefore, although it was very difficult to resist the Liang army, Shi Renyu was still ready to obey after hesitating.

Fortunately, Yang Wu didn't all let them die, but had already raised troops to the north, and he only needed to resist the Liang army for a day or two at most, and the reinforcements of the Huainan army could arrive, and this task was relatively feasible.

As for the heavy losses suffered by the soldiers under his command, he did not care about this; And he could also guess that the purpose of the Huainan Army to let him stay to resist the Liang Army must have been to weaken them by the hands of the Liang Army.

Although he could guess Yang Wu's purpose, he could only carry it out.

After summoning the generals, Shi Renyu tried his best to persuade them in every possible way, and promised rich rewards, some of which scared them, saying that if they could not make contributions, even if they went to Huainan, they would not be taken seriously, and finally persuaded the generals to move.

That night, not long after Wei Bo's army entered the boundary of Yongcheng, he stopped and did not continue south.

Shi Renyu found a suitable place to camp and began to build a camp, preparing to resist the attack of the Liang army here the next day.

"You immediately go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and say that I, Shi Ren, have sworn to resist the Liang army to the death, but the Liang army is strong, and our army will not be able to resist for long, please Your Highness quickly lead the army north to respond!" After settling in the camp, Shi Renyu immediately sent an envoy south to reply to Yang Wu.

In the county town of Xiayi, Zhu Quanzhong led the main force to enter here, and his vanguard had already followed Wei Bojun in pursuit; It's a pity that he had already sent the cavalry-based Long Xiang Army to Yingzhou before, otherwise it would be the best choice to use the Long Xiang Army to pursue the Wei Bo rebels.

"Are you saying that Wei Bo's army did not go south overnight, but set up camp to prepare to resist our army?" Listening to the news brought by the messenger, Zhu Quanzhong frowned and pondered.

"King, it seems that Shi Renyu has already made contact with the Huainan Army, and Yang Wu must have raised troops to go north, otherwise Shi Renyu would not have chosen this way!" Li Zhen analyzed.

"Yes, and according to the estimation of his subordinates, Yang Wu must have brought a lot of troops, even more than our army, plus Shi Renyu's 20,000 people, Yang Wu has a certain degree of confidence in defeating our army, so he will let Shi Renyu stop and fight with our army." On the side, Jing Xiang added.

Zhu Quanzhong had a headache, at this time, he had another big battle with the Huainan Army, or even a decisive battle, which was not what he wanted to see.

However, the Huainan army has already moved north, and his only choice is to face it.

"The order went down, and the army went south overnight, striving to surround Shi Renyu at dawn! Ordered Han Qing to lead an army of 20,000 to detour to the rear of Wei Bo's army to block the reinforcements of the Huainan army! Zhu Quanzhong immediately ordered.

Early the next morning, the main force of the Liang army caught up with the Wei Bo rebels and besieged the rebel camp; At the same time, Han Qing, who was detouring south, brought the news of the Huainan Army's reinforcements.

"Wang, judging from the news I have received, the Huainan Army is led by Wang Maozhang with 20,000 people as the vanguard, and Yang Wu personally leads the rest of the main force as the rear. From the point of view of troops, the Huainan Army is only afraid of 100,000 troops, which is indeed menacing! Jing Xiang said with some concern.

According to the news that Han Qing inquired, the forward of the Huainan Army was still more than 20 miles away from here at this time, and the main force of the Huainan Army was more than 40 miles, which was not far away.

Wang Maozhang's forward didn't have to worry too much, after all, Han Qing's army also had 20,000 troops, and it was not difficult to stop him; But if Yang Wu's main force arrived, then Han Qing would no longer be able to resist it.

Fortunately, Yang Wu's main force still has more than forty miles to go, and according to their marching speed, they can walk so many miles in almost a day.

Therefore, if the Liang army moves fast enough, there is still hope for breaking through the rebel camp before the main force of the Huainan army arrives.

"Immediately assemble the Suzhou cannon and give it to the lone storm on the rebel camp. Tell the soldiers that the rebels have plundered the surrounding counties and have a lot of property in their hands. If our army is killed, let the soldiers plunder! Zhu Quanzhong ordered in a deep voice.

This time he went south, and he brought with him more than 50 Suzhou guns that had just been manufactured and transported from Bianzhou, which was the confidence for him to quickly break through the rebel camp.

When fighting with the Huainan Army, the Liang army was always bombarded by the Suzhou artillery of the Huainan Army and suffered heavy losses, and this time it was his turn to use the Suzhou artillery against others.

Soon, the Suzhou cannon was assembled and began to roar at the rebels.

In the camp, in the face of the bombardment of the Suzhou artillery of the Liang army, the rebel soldiers seemed to have returned to the days of fighting with the Huainan army, and they were suddenly a little chaotic.

Fortunately, Shi Renyu had long considered the possibility that the Liang army would carry the Suzhou artillery, and the Huainan army had been fighting for a long time, and Wei Bojun had also accumulated some experience in dealing with the Suzhou artillery, so the Liang army could not help them in a short time.

It's just that there are 60,000 Liang troops, and Zhu Quanzhong personally led the army to besiege it, and when he thought of such a big difference in the comparison of forces, Shi Renyu was nervous.

"I just hope that the Huainan Army can arrive as soon as possible! King Wu has always been known for his benevolence and faithfulness, and he hopes that his son will not lose his trust, so that our army can resist the Liang army in vain! Shi Renyu prayed in his heart.
