In the pavilion, Sima Dewen asked Li Yan several times about the strategy of breaking the enemy, but Li Yan said it left and right, and it was really not suitable for an outsider to mix. Judging from the current situation, Lu Dun is on the offensive, and the Jin army can only hold on.

But there is Liu Yu's army stationed on the periphery of Jiankang City, Lu Dun wants to break through I'm afraid it's not so easy, now the Northern Expeditionary Army continues to return to Jiankang City to help, yesterday has returned to Xiapi, less than ten days to be able to rush back to Jiankang.

"General Li, do you know why this king transferred you from the transfer to the inner city on the way to Stone City?" Sima Dewen looked at Li Yan and said lightly.

"Li Yan thanks the prince for his love, the prince's great kindness Li Yan is unforgettable." Li Yan said and saluted Sima Dewen.

"Excuse me! Lord Meng recommended to this king that General Li has the talent of a general at a young age, and this king has always been eclectic about talents, and General Li should not let this king down. Sima Dewen's face was slightly angry, staring at Li Yan and said coldly.

"Lord Qiqi, it is said that yesterday Lu Dun's army had stopped attacking Stone City, and the army went north by boat to attack Baishilei in the north of the city, can there be such a thing?" Li Yan raised his head and asked.

Sima Dewen glanced at Li Yan deeply, "Exactly." In the past few days, Lu Dun's army has lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the stone city and has not been able to attack for a long time, and last night it has turned to attack the Baishi fortress in the north of the city, and the general Liu Yu has led the army to defend, what does General Li think? Let's put it bluntly. ”

"I don't know what the prince thinks Lu Dun's army wants now?"

Sima Dewen frowned, raised his head and said: "Needless to say, the Baishi fortress in the north of the city is empty, and Lu Dun wants to take the opportunity to capture the Baishi fortress and avoid the army of the cavalry general in the west of the city." ”

"Lord Wang, I thought it was the opposite, Lu Dun's more than 100,000 rebels have been attacking Jiankang for nearly a month, and they should know the deployment of troops in Jiankang City, why did they blatantly go north by boat, isn't this clearly telling the general of the Che Cavalry that Lu Dun is going to capture Baishiba?"

Why? Now that the general of the Che Cavalry has defeated Lu Dun in Stone Town, Lu Dun has turned to capture Baishi Fortress, which is not impossible. Sima Dewen turned his head and asked.

"Huh. If this is the case, why should he make a big fuss, for fear that others will not know that he is going to attack Baishilei, and there will be demons when things go wrong. In the next thought, the current army of Lu Dun is probably ambushed in the south of the city, waiting for the general of the cavalry to lead the army to the north of the city to Baishili, and then take the south of the city in one fell swoop. This is also Lu Dun's only hope now, ten days later, the Northern Expedition army will be able to rush back to Jiankang, and then Lu Dun will have no chance. ”

Sima Dewen's face changed slightly after hearing this, but he soon looked like nothing happened, sat down beside Li Yan and whispered, "What is the basis for what General Li said? If it is fabricated out of thin air, it will not be spared lightly. ”

"Lord Qiqi, the stone city in the west of Jiankang City is extremely strong, and Lu Dun's army can't attack it for a long time, and now Lu Dun's army sails north to capture Baishilei, and the real purpose is to lure the army of the Che Cai general to the north, so that he can take the opportunity to take Jiankang directly from the south bank of the Qinhuai River, and ask the prince to prepare early, don't let Lu Dun's conspiracy succeed."

If that happens, the consequences will be dire. In the south of the city, there were only Liu Yu's henchmen who joined the army, and Shen Linzi's thousands of soldiers and horses could resist Lu Dun's thief army. Sima Dewen frowned tightly in the pavilion, and the defense of Jiankang City was clear to him, perhaps the south bank of the Qinhuai River was the main direction of attack for Lu Dun.

"Li Yan listened to the order and ordered you to lead the guards under the command of General Wang Ben and assist General Wang in guarding Zhanghou Bridge, go ahead." After Sima Dewen gave the order, he waved his hand to signal Li Yan to go back, and he turned to look at the fish grabbing food under the lake and fell into deep thought.

Li Yan left the palace and immediately went back to meet Han Qian and the others, the big war was about to start, even in the city, it was not necessarily a stable place.

The south bank of the Qinhuai River.

There are some patches of reeds swinging here, and the reeds more than one person high swing with the wind, if you don't look closely, you can't see clearly in the distance, and in this continuous reed, there are tens of thousands of troops and many ships.

These armies hid here motionless, with a fierce light on their faces, as if it would be dark in half an hour today.

Behind a tall field of reeds, a general in black iron armor with an elegant face was constantly driving away mosquitoes. This person is Lu Dun, the word is first, and his ancestors have been in the Jin Kingdom.

In that year, Sun En, the leader of the Wudoumi Sect, led his troops to defeat and commit suicide, and Sun En's brother-in-law Lu Dun was elected as the leader by the rest of the army. Later, Lu Dun was defeated by Liu Yu, led his followers to fight in Lingnan, captured Wu Yin, the assassin of Guangzhou, and then called the minister, the imperial court just quelled Huan Xuan's rebellion and was unable to conquer Lu Dun, so he appointed Lu Dun as the general of the conquest, and the history of the Guangzhou assassin.

"General, tonight, at the end of the day, the general will personally lead 20,000 troops to cross the Qinhuai River and take the imperial city directly, and the general will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to attack Shen Linzi's camp. Now Liu Yu's army is in Baishiba, and there is no way to return for a while, as long as I wait for a quick battle, we will definitely be able to win. "There is a general in front of Lu Dun who is also dressed in black armor, this person is Lu Dun's brother-in-law Xu Daofu, who has been giving advice to Lu Dun all these years, and Lu Dun has great trust in him.

"Good. Thank you for your hard work. It's just a pity that the 8,000 old and weak people in Baishilei may never come back. Lu Dun looked up at the sky and said in a low voice.

"General, those who achieve great things are not informal, and those brothers who will achieve hegemony in the future will also be able to seal their wives and sons, I believe that they will also be grateful to the general in the spirit of heaven." Xu Daofu saw that Lu Dun couldn't bear it in his heart, so he comforted him.

This plan was originally proposed by Xu Daofu, and the army had besieged Jiankang for more than a month, if Jiankang could not be captured again, then he could only find another way to make a living.

"Zhang Meng listened to the order, after nightfall, you led 10,000 troops to attack Chapu, Chapu's guard general Xu Chite is a wine bag and rice bag, you can't live up to the general's expectations."

"The last will obey."

"Go ahead." Lu Dun was a little restless in his heart, Liu Yu's Northern Expeditionary Army was about to return to Jiankang, and Liu Yu's return to Jiankang half a month earlier disrupted his deployment.

The sky gradually gave it, and when the time came, with Lu Dun's order, the army began to kill towards Jiankang City. Lu Dun's brother-in-law, Xu Daofu, led an army of 20,000 to cross the Qinhuai River and kill the imperial city by boat.

"Childe, there are more than 5,000 people under the command of this General Wang, can you resist Lu Dun's army?" Han Qian, who was behind Li Yan, lowered his voice and said to Li Yan.

"The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, don't underestimate these 5,000 soldiers and horses, they can inflict heavy losses on the enemy at the critical moment, and order them to go down, if the enemy comes, they are not allowed to act without authorization, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"Don't worry, Childe, I've already told Wei Liang."

"That's good." In the dark night, Li Yan nodded and said in a deep voice.

As soon as Li Yan finished ordering the Blood Wolf Guard, Wang Ben came over with a few personal guards.

"General Li, this Hou Bridge is the only passage to the imperial city in the south of the city, but you have to guard it carefully, don't let the thieves take advantage of it."

"General Wang rest assured, he will strictly guard the Zhanghou Bridge and never let go of a thief army."

"Good! In this way, Ben will be relieved. Wang Ben patted Li Yan's shoulder as he spoke, and then walked forward.
