In the palace of the Guangling Huainan Jiedu envoy, Yang Xingmi immediately convened the generals to start discussing after receiving the letter asking for help. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Generals, the prince has sent news from Jiaxing, saying that the main force of 10,000 troops in Huzhou has gone to Jiaxing to relieve the siege, and he will drag the enemy army there, hoping that we will send troops to besiege Huzhou in advance. What do you think of this suggestion? ”

After taking Suzhou, Yang Xingmi had a lot more smiles on his face, and the whole person looked radiant, as if he had endless energy. During this period, his concubine Wang became pregnant again, and according to the doctor Mr. Cui, this time she may be pregnant with a boy, which made Yang Xingmi even happier.

The eldest son has a future, the cause of unifying the south has progressed, and there are many children under his knees, so he will naturally be happy on such a perfect day.

Even the news that Zhu Quanzhong sent his nephew Zhu Youning to lead 60,000 troops south to Suzhou and threaten the northern defense line of Huainan did not worry him.

After all, he knew that Zhu Youning just wanted to contain him, not really wanted to go south, and Zhu Yanshou, the assassin of Shouzhou, and Tai Meng and others were guarding him, and he was not worried about the north.

"The king, the last general thinks that he should agree to the request of the prince, and the last general is willing to take his soldiers south to attack Huzhou!" The first to stand up and ask for war was Wang Maozhang.

Wang Maozhang used to be Yang Xingmi's bodyguard, and because of his combat bravery, he was promoted to the commander of the capital very early, but he has never been given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in recent years.

The last siege of Suzhou was hastily withdrawn because of the lack of military food supply, which greatly disappointed Wang Maozhang: this siege of Suzhou had nothing to do with him, which made him even more annoyed. Now when he heard that Yang Wu was asking for reinforcements, he was the first to jump out and ask for battle.

"The last general is also willing to lead his troops!" With Wang Maozhang taking the lead, the generals in Guangling all stood up one by one to ask for battle.

"The generals are loyal and courageous, and they are very pleased. I thought that this time I would send troops and let General Wang lead the troops! ”

After years of conquest, Huainan has long trained a large number of generals who can fight well, and it can be said that there are many talents, and none of the many feudal towns in the south can compare. Among the many generals, Wang Maozhang is brave and good at fighting, and he is a general he has tried his best to cultivate, and now seeing him ask for battle, Yang Xingmi agreed without much thought.

"Thank you for the king's trust, the last general will definitely take Huzhou for the king!"

……

In Huzhou City, Gao Yan watched the latest news alone.

After Zhu Xing arrived in Jiaxing first, he really did not find a chance to defeat Yang Wujun, and the two sides confronted each other outside the city of Jiaxing, and the Huainan army quickly sent Wang Maozhang to besiege Huzhou from behind. Although Gao Yan had expected these before, he was still a little disappointed.

After all, what he wanted to see most was that Zhu Xingxian could create a miracle and defeat Yang Wu's army in one fell swoop; Only by defeating Yang Wu can Jiaxing and Huzhou be preserved at the same time; And now he has to give up Jiaxing, not to mention the possible consequences of Yang Wu once he goes south to Hangzhou, even if the other party goes west to Huzhou to join Wang Maozhang, Huzhou will still fall into passivity.

Fortunately, now that more than 20 days have passed, although Zhu Xingxian did not defeat the other party, he also did not defeat the other party, and the goal of preventing Yang Wu from quickly occupying Jiaxing has basically been achieved, so Gao Yan can barely accept this result.

"Next, wait for Zhu Xing to come back with the troops first!"

The importance of Huzhou is also not below Jiaxing, or even more important than Jiaxing.

After all, Jiaxing is only related to the road to Hangzhou in the south, but Huzhou is one of the most important states in Qian Biao's hands. So now when Huzhou is under siege, he must first withdraw his troops to hold Huzhou.

However, the question now is how to safely withdraw Zhu Xingxian's army. Withdrawing troops from the battlefield has always been a taboo for soldiers, and the Qin army only retreated a little before the Battle of Weishui in history, which resulted in a fiasco, Gao Yan didn't want Zhu Xing to encounter this situation first.

"Send the order to Zhu Xingxian, and say that although Huzhou is besieged, this official will try his best to defend the city, so that he should not worry, and he must be careful when withdrawing the army, and do not rush, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of!" Gao Yan wrote an order, summoned his cronies and guards, and asked him to bring it to Zhu Xing first.

Although there were only 3,000 people in the city, Wang Maozhang had just arrived, and it would take some time for him to completely besiege the city, and it would take some time for him to build siege equipment; It will take time to repair the siege equipment and then take the city.

So now Huzhou seems to be in a critical situation, but in fact there is still plenty of time, what he is most worried about is that Zhu Xingxian hastily withdrew his troops in order to rush back, and there is likely to be a fiasco at that time.

After sending the guards, Gao Yan sat down again and sighed, "Alas, there are still too few troops and too few good generals!" ”

In peacetime, the main force of the Huainan Army was pinned down in the north, and every time he attacked Liangzhejiang, there would not be too many troops, but Qian Biao was able to concentrate all his forces to counterattack Huainan; But now that Zhu Quanzhong's main force is not there, Huainan can transfer part of the army from the north to attack Liangzhejiang, but Qian Biao's side has suffered a great loss of troops because of the changes in Hangzhou, and now after the fall of Suzhou, the dilemma of insufficient troops is even more obvious.

In addition to the lack of troops, the lack of famous generals is also an important weakness of Qian Biao. Not to mention the strong vassals of Li Keyong and Zhu Quanzhong in the north, just talk about Yang Xingmi's subordinates in Huainan, Li Shenfu, Zhou Ben, Tai Meng, Zhang Xun, Tao Ya, Liu Wei, etc., each of them is enough to take charge alone; If you count the three disobedient generals An Renyi, Zhu Yanshou, and Tian Yan, as well as Li Chengsi, Zhu Jin and other northern generals who don't lead the troops much, there are too many famous generals on the Huainan side, far from being comparable to other feudal towns in the south.

As for Qian Di's command, the most commendable one is Gu Quanwu alone, and the rest of the generals are relatively poor. As for Huzhou, since the defeat of Lingyin Mountain last time, Huzhou has a serious shortage of generals, so that he can only temporarily promote generals from the capital.

Fortunately, although Zhu Xingxian failed to defeat the other party, at least he was not defeated by the other party.

"I just hope he can bring the army back safely!" Thinking of this, Gao Yan sighed slightly.

"Master, why is the little one begging the master to call the shots!" At this time, the housekeeper of his house suddenly came to ask for a meeting, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees and wailed, and his voice was miserable, as if he had died of a relative.

Gao Yan frowned when he heard this, he was in a very irritable mood at this time, he was already anxious about the current situation, but he didn't want to be run over at this time. However, this butler has been with him for many years, has always been loyal, and is usually a calm person, and he should not trouble himself if there is no major incident.

Gao Yan stepped forward and wanted to help him up, "Lao He, what are you doing here?" Talk about it when you get up! ”

"Please master the little one, the little girl was given by the third son, and she was killed, woo woo woo ......" He was not only not up, but cried even more sadly.
