In December of the second year of the Great Controversy, the news of the defeat of the Yangwu army in Qilipo spread completely, and the whole Yongzhou was shaken.

By defeating the power of the Yangwu army, Su Dingfang recovered the five towns in the central part of Laisu County in one fell swoop, so far in addition to Wanchun Town, which was captured by Li Mu's troops, the remaining thirteen towns in Laisu County entered the hands of Su Dingfang.

After integrating the various departments of Laisu County, Su Dingfang led 30,000 troops to the south and joined his righteous brother Gao Zhong in Fangjia Town, and Su Dingfang's Tang cavalry forces totaled more than 60,000 troops to hoard the front line of Fangjia Town and confront Li Mujun.

At the same time as the Su Dingfang army was vigorously mobilized, in the territory of Wujian County, which had just been occupied by the Yangwu Army, at the port of Hexing Town, which was located on the bank of the Changxi River, thousands of sails competed, all kinds of warships and merchant ships came and went frequently, and a large number of various ordnance materials were transported to Wujian City, and 30,000 soldiers of the three battalions under the command of Wang Yanzhang, Yue Xi, and Honda Zhongsheng were also continuously transported to Hexing Town.

Not only the soldiers of the third battalion of Wang Yanzhang and others, but also the 60,000 troops who had just been integrated under the command of Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Gao Chong, and Liu Shiyu were all recruited and rushed to Wujian City to converge.

Qiaoping Village, only 6 miles away from Wujian City, outside Qiaoping Village, there is a huge open land, stretching for dozens of miles, if all of them are reclaimed, at least millions of acres of fertile land can be obtained.

However, due to the limited population of Goken Prefecture, this vast open space was not cultivated as fertile land, but was used for wheat cultivation.

After the wheat is harvested, it is naturally empty.

Now, the clearing has been turned into a huge camp, and countless tents have spread across the clearing.

From time to time, a large number of soldiers can be seen coming and exiting these tents.

It was now nearly noon, and smoke was rising from all corners of the camp.

"Lord, at present, we have mobilized nearly 70,000 troops, except for Wang Yanzhang, Yue Xi, and Honda Zhongsheng, the three captains who did not lead the army to arrive at the camp, the other battalions have arrived, and all kinds of ordnance, grain and grass and other materials in Wanchun Town have also been mobilized sufficiently, why don't you lead the army to join General Li Mu and attack Su Dingfang?"

In the camp, Sima Yu, who was dressed in armor, rode on a war horse, his feet lightly clamped, urging the war horse to slowly patrol the entire camp, and dozens of guards behind him were escorted by Wu Song and Wu Tu Gu.

This military camp that accommodates nearly 70,000 Yangwu troops covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers, and it took them nearly half a day to inspect all the inspections.

Regarding his father-in-law's recent actions, Wang Meng was a little puzzled.

The defeat of Qilipo was a huge blow to the entire Yangwu army, and 5,000 elite iron cavalry and a brave cavalry general died at the hands of Su Dingfang.

Wang Meng didn't believe that Sima Yu could swallow this breath.

However, taking a look at Sima Yu's recent actions puzzled him.

In Wang Meng's view, when the Xiaocai battalion was defeated, Su Dingfang had not yet been able to completely recover the five towns in the central region, so Sima Yu should decisively order Li Mu, who was stationed in Wanchun Town, to lead the army to attack decisively, concentrate the superior strength of the 30,000 Yangwu army, divide the troops into two routes, suppress the Gao Pet Army all the way, and attack the five towns in the central part all the way, so as not to give Su Dingfang a chance to deal with post-war affairs.

But Sima Yu did the opposite, and directly led his troops to stay in Wujian City, not only transferred him to Wujian County, but also requisitioned Wang Yanzhang, Yue Xi, Honda Zhongsheng, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Gao Chong, Liu Shiyu Seven Battalions of 90,000 troops.

With such a huge formation, how could Su Dingfang and them not know?

also wasted 10 days of good time in vain, giving Su Dingfang enough time to prepare.

"Wait!"

When Sima Yu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the northwest direction and said lightly.

"Wait?"

Wang Meng was surprised when he heard this.

"Does Jing Luo wonder why I am so procrastinating in this battle and delaying the fighter?"

Looking at Wang Meng's puzzled eyes, Sima Yu couldn't help but smile softly and asked softly.

There is a slight color in the voice, and there are not many things that can make Wang Meng feel puzzled.

"Yes, for the lord's actions, Meng is puzzled in his heart, this is not like the lord's previous style of acting!" Wang Meng nodded calmly.

Although Wang Meng has not served Sima Yu for a long time, through his understanding of the past of Yangwu Army, Sima Yu has always been a master who returns blood for blood and does not want to suffer losses easily.

"Jingluo, in your opinion, what is lacking in my Yangwu army now if I want to unify the entire Yongzhou?"

Sima Yu didn't answer when he heard this, turned his head to look at Wang Meng and asked rhetorically.

"Time, people's hearts!" Wang Meng pondered for a while and said.

In this world where people of all ages and ethnic groups are integrated, the original deep-rooted orthodoxy in the hearts of the people has collapsed, and this will lead to a situation in which the major forces rise up together and fight for the world together.

Now under the rule of Sima Yuyang's military army, there are four counties, both military and economic strength are the first in Yongzhou, and he is the most promising person to unify Yongzhou.

But if you want to do this, it still needs time to conquer all places and win the hearts of the people.

"Yes, time and hearts! At present, in the eleven counties of Yongzhou, our Yangwu army only occupies four counties, and there are still seven counties in the hands of others. If you take it step by step, I am afraid it will take a year or two to fully control the entire Yongzhou, which is too slow. According to the information we have collected now, whether it is the Shu State, the Qing Dynasty, the Later Shu and other forces in the far away Tunnel Prefecture and other places, or the Hunan Army and other forces on the other side of the Yangtze River, they have all completed the unification of the states, and there must be more powerful forces established in addition to this, and if we don't get rid of the current situation as soon as possible, we will be far behind! Sima Yu's voice was heavy.

Although the strength of the Yangwu Army is unmatched in Yongzhou, it is only in the middle and lower reaches of this expanded world, and Sima Yu's road to hegemony still has a long way to go.

"Therefore, this battle is not only a battle of our revenge, but also a battle of the bright sword of our army. We need to wait for Wang Yanzhang and their arrival, gather the elite troops of our Yangwu army, and fight the majesty of our Yangwu army, so that other forces in Yongzhou who are still waiting and watching know that in the face of absolute strength, their resistance is just the last struggle, crush the luck psychology in their hearts, and accelerate the pace of unifying Yongzhou! ”

This is the purpose of Sima Yu to mobilize the army with great fanfare, so that the Yangwu army may suffer a lot of casualties in a frontal war, but if it can reduce the internal friction of the entire Yongzhou, these casualties are worth it, which is more beneficial to the rapid development of the Yangwu army in the future.

And now although there are 70,000 troops gathered here, only 5,000 flying feather cavalry, 2,000 Xiao cavalry battalions and 2,000 brocade guards are good soldiers, plus the 34,000 army under Li Mu of Wanchun Town is only more than 40,000 people, these manpower is not enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the Su Dingfang army with tens of thousands of troops, and the elite of the three battalions under the command of Wang Yanzhang, Yue Xi, and Honda Tadashi is the key to this battle.

There is another thing that Sima Yu did not explain to Wang Meng, that is, he is also waiting for Li Dingguo and them to get ready.

As long as Sima Yu led his troops to defeat Su Dingfang's army, Li Dingguo's surrender would be the key to overwhelming the hearts and minds of the remnants of the entire Yongzhou forces.
