The equipment and combat methods of the Yan cavalry are not suitable for the southern environment after all, and they must attack the city and plunder the land in the white water of the southern Black Mountain.

The difficulty can be imagined, but Lin Feng's iron heart attacked Cai Guo and attacked the city and grabbed the land, no matter how difficult it was, he would not choose to give up.

When the military consumption of the power of the southern vassal states, it is also necessary to break the balance of power in the south, if the Yan army retreats, there will be people who provoke the power of the Chu state in the south.

Hearing Lin Feng's inquiry, Zhao Hongru strode forward and said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that relying solely on military strength to form a union of southern princes, why not try to unite with the southern princes, first, to reduce the casualties of the Yan army, second, it will also leave hidden dangers to the south, and third, it can also consume the strength of the southern princes!" ”

"General Zhao, do you mean to unite with Shu?" After pondering for a while, Lin Feng raised his head, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he seemed to guess Zhao Hongru's inner thoughts.

"That's right, unite with Shu again." Zhao Hongru said categorically: "Shu is located in the west of the Sword Pavilion, and for many years, it hopes to expand its influence to the east and the north of the Yangtze River. However, the four kingdoms of Wu, Yue, Chu and Cai were strong before, and the Shu army could not invade the east, so they could only shift their attention to the north.

Now the Yan army swept through the north, the Shu army's northern expedition failed, and the Yan army seized the northern territory, and wanted to continue to go north, which was very painful, on the contrary, the chaos of the southern princes was a good opportunity to invade the east,

If the emperor sends someone to Shu to lobby, eight + nine out of ten may persuade the Shu emperor. ”

"This plan works!" Lin Feng nodded emphatically, Zhao Hongru's thoughts coincided with him, and he immediately said to the eunuchs beside him: "An Heng, leave the palace immediately and inform Situ to go to Shu as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Lin Xiao, who had recovered for a long time and had already been able to fight on the battlefield, also stood up and said: "Brother Huang, it is really a wonderful plan to unite the Chu State in the south. The younger brother also has ideas! ”

"What you think, you might as well say it!" Lin Feng said! In this southern expedition, Lin Xiao is bound to lead the troops, and he wants to hear what suggestions the other party has.

Lin Xiao did not hesitate and said: "The Yan army marched south and took the lead in attacking Cai, and the three kingdoms of Wuyue and Chu will definitely help, however, the four southern countries have mutual suspicions, and the younger brother suggested that they send envoys to the Wu Yue army, if they succeed in lobbying Wu Yue, it will greatly reduce the resistance of the Yan army to the south."

If it can't succeed, send people to the south to propagate the secret alliance of the three kingdoms of Wu Yue and Yan, even if it can't disintegrate Wu Yue and Cai Chu, it will cause the kings of the four kingdoms to be unable to be trusted. ”

"Jin Guogong, this method is more risky, after all, Wu Yue's Northern Expedition failed, and hundreds of thousands of troops were captured by the Yan army, and when the emperor went south, he defeated the Yue army and killed Zhang Yuting, Wu Yue was afraid that it would be difficult to reach a union with Yan State." Xing Ike stepped forward to refute!

Hearing this, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "General Xing, no matter whether the suggestion of the Duke of Jin is successful or not, you can still give it a try." ”

After all, Lin Xiao has already explained the consequences of the failure of the three kingdoms!

The generals were silent for a moment, Lin Feng took a long breath, and asked: "The southern expedition will affect the future of Great Yan, this time the Yan army is going south, who is willing to go south with me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army south!" Hearing this, Hou Mingfeng took the lead in giving up his hand and cutting the railway. However, Hou Mingfeng was silent for a moment and continued: "However, the last general believes that before going south, the emperor must send generals to secretly monitor the Song State to prevent the Yan army from going south, the rear is empty, and the Song army has an opportunity.

In addition, according to General Zhao's suggestion, go south to unite Shu, if the two countries of Yan and Shu unite again, it is necessary to prevent Emperor Shu from rebelling. After all, in the past, the Shu State took the initiative to sabotage the Yanshu Alliance for the sake of interests.

When going south, you can't ignore the existence of the Shu army, Shu is lonely in the west, and it should be the first to attack Shu, and at present, the Yan army's attention is diverted to Cai, so it is necessary to Chen troops in Jiangbei to prevent Shu, lest the Yan army go south, and the Shu emperor will break the covenant, send people to cross the river to the north, and take the opportunity to attack the southeast of Yan! ”

Although Hou Mingfeng's suggestion did not mention how to attack the south, what should the two sides do. However, his suggestion is still very important to Yan Guo.

Take precautions, lest the main force of the Yan army be in the south, making the rear empty, and being suddenly attacked by the Song and Shu countries, and being caught off guard!

Lin Feng very much agreed with Hou Mingfeng's suggestion, be prepared, and never take the enemy carelessly and lightly.

At this time, Zhao Hongru also hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is also willing to lead the troops south, and the infantry is better at the southern environment!" ”

"The last general is going to fight!"

"The last general is going to fight!"

"The last general is going to fight!"

..........

For a while, many generals in the Jinluan Palace took the initiative to ask for help, and they had a strong fighting spirit.

Looking at it, Lin Feng smiled and raised his hand to signal that it was quiet. Standing up on the high platform, he said in high spirits: "Han Xiandang led the Jinyang Lake Water Division to Yandong, joined the Yandong Sea Master trained by Gu Lefeng, and used the warship sent by the Song State to go south along the coast, break into the Yangtze River, and strive to reach the waters of Yan Kingdom. ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Han Xian hugged his fists and couldn't help but take a breath secretly, this time it was very dangerous to go south.

Lin Feng continued to point to the general, and said loudly: "Zhao Hongru, Zhao Jun led 150,000 foot cavalry, arrived in the waters of Yan State as a general in Han Xiandang, and quickly led his troops to the south to form the Eastern Route Army, mainly attacking Cai and Yue to prevent the Vietnamese army from counterattacking.

Bai Yisheng and Li Lin led the Dog Wolf Legion and 100,000 cavalry to form the Western Route Army, mainly attacking Cai and Shu.

Lin Xiao, Ju Wentai, Tuoba Yu, led 100,000 cavalry in the form of the left middle route army, Hou Mingfeng, Xing Yike, led 100,000 iron cavalry, formed the right middle route army. The above generals, quickly reorganize the army, and set off in half a month! ”

At this time, Lin Feng glanced at the remaining generals in the Jinluan Palace, and continued: "Huangpu Xuan, Linghu Zang led his troops to Luoyi to guard the southwest of Yan State, and Heng Bangchang led 100,000 troops to Yan and Song to hand over to beware of Song State plots. ”

Lin Feng was in high spirits, and all the generals in the court and the central government gave up their orders one after another.

………

On the territory of Dayan, the horses' hooves rolled, the cavalry shuttled, the entire Dayan, the army changed guards, and those who went south quickly concentrated on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and at one time Chen soldiers were hundreds of thousands.

There seems to be signs of going south at any time!

South!

The people in the cities along the river in the vassal states got the news of the Yan Army and Chen Bing in the north as soon as possible, and they dragged their families to move their families!

The entire southern area along the river was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, and the people were panicked and frightened, fearing that the Yan army would quickly move south and would not be able to flee by itself.

On the Cai side, the three cities along the river were lost, and a large number of people in the north, like waves sweeping the earth, took refuge one after another and quickly headed south.

Cao Rong was shocked when he got the news, he didn't expect Emperor Yan to move so quickly in the north, regardless of the approaching winter, he insisted on going south in late autumn, and in the cold winter, he led the army to fight.

Cao Rong did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly summoned Wu Jieshao, Mu Junyan and other generals to discuss countermeasures.

The Yan army moved south, and Cai Guo inevitably became the primary target of the Yan army.

This time, the Four-Nation Coalition Army arrived in the north of Cai State and made a small-scale attempt to attack the four cities along the river, but after nothing was gained, the Four-Nation Coalition Army died down.

There is no longer the momentum of the previous wind and fire, and the momentum of a drum is like a tiger, seizing the four cities along the river.

In the camp of the Cai army, Cao Rong sat on the top and said: "The Yan army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north of the Yangtze River, and the momentum of the north and south is tense. ”

The four cities along the river, like a sharp blade, hung above Cai Guo's head, making it difficult for Cao Rong to sleep and eat, and he could not rely on the three armies of Wu, Yue and Chu, he had to try to eliminate the Yan army and seize the four cities along the river.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army captured the three cities in the north of Cai State and repaired them, and the cities of the three cities suddenly increased in height and became easy to defend and difficult to attack." Wu Jieshao said with a depressed expression, however, he did not give up, and added: "However, the combat strength of the Yan army's naval division is terrible, and the last general proposed to send a large number of naval divisions to block the Yan army's southward movement on the river, and in addition, the Cai army seized the time to quickly attack the three cities along the river." ”

"The sailor must guard against the Yan army going south, Mu Junchen, according to General Wu's suggestion, call all the sailors in the north of Cai State to go to the Yangtze River, even if all the sailors are buried, they must stop the Yan army from going south." Cao Rong said sharply.

"The last general commands!" Mu Junyan stood up with steady steps and hugged his fists.

At this time, Cao Rong stood up, stood on a high platform with his hands in his hands and said: "General Wu, you lead the Cai army under your account, no matter how much it costs, you must capture the three cities of Cai Guo to prevent the Yan army from successfully crossing the river and bring greater difficulties to Cai Guo!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general will prepare for war immediately!" Wu Jieshao hugged his fists.

Cao Rong pondered for a moment, and said to a general under the high platform: "Han Yuekui passed on my will, and instructed all counties and states of Cai State to recruit 200,000 new troops for backup, and in addition, all counties and cities will be armed, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Rong has a dream of a great country, a dream of a strong country, when Nai doesn't wait for me, he can only do his best, hoping that Cai Guo will not perish in his own hands.

If the Yan army is too strong, and the southern princes have not helped Cai Guo, he must fight to the death with the Yan army to the end, otherwise the other party will get a little advantage in Cai Guo.

Wu Jieshao and the three of them had not yet left the military tent, and the guards outside hurriedly came in, knelt on the ground, and said to Cao Rong on the high platform: "Your Majesty, the Chu army guards have issued an order, and the Chu Emperor invites the emperor to go to the Chu army's big tent to discuss major matters together!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Rong waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, nodded to Wu Jieshao, and walked outside the military tent, wanting to go to the tent of the Chu army.

Recently, the Yan army Chen Bing Jiangbei, the people in the south panicked, Chu Emperor Xiong Wu, the Vietnamese army Han Yanxi, Wu Jun Zhao Yanyu was also panicked.

Everyone never thought that after half a month's effort, the four-nation alliance army had just arrived in the four cities along the river, and only sent troops to carry out a small-scale attack.

Before there was any harvest, Emperor Yan had quickly completed the arrangement in the north, Chen Bing Jiangbei.

Now, the land north of the river is full of murderous spirit, and the iron horses are rolling, and the south is crossing the river.

Outside Ancheng, in the military camp, Xiong Wu hurriedly ordered the guards to summon King Wu Yue Cai to discuss military affairs.

The spies came to report that there were nearly 300,000 Yan troops in Jiangbei to ride Chen soldiers in the north, according to his guess, Lin Feng was by no means as simple as simply invading Cai State, and the sword guide Fang must have the idea of capturing the four southern countries and sweeping the Chu State westward.

Receiving Xiong Wu's edict, Cao Rong, Han Yanxi, and Zhao Yanyu led their cronies and generals to quickly arrive at the Chu army camp.
