On the fifth day of the first month of April, the Menglihu coalition army gathered in the Hengzhou city area began to retreat to the north of Hengzhou, and the three heads of the Menglihu family reached an agreement to lead the army to retreat to Yuanhe County, the northernmost part of Hengzhou, so that the Yun army advancing east and the army of the Tang Empire advancing west confronted each other.

If the two tigers are defeated and crippled or both are defeated, the Menglihu coalition army will quickly send troops to defeat the two tigers completely, and if the situation is unclear, then the three Menglihu families can choose to withdraw to Huizhou or Linzhou.

At the same time, the Hengzhou branch of Tianmu and Xunfeng also reported the information of the Tang Empire's army appearing in the eastern part of Hengzhou to General Lin Zhe, and according to the analysis of Tianmu and Xunfeng, they were eighty percent sure that this Tang army, numbering about 100,000, came out of the Jiuling Mountains.

After reading the information sent by Tianmu and Xunfeng respectively, Lin Zhe frowned, but quickly calmed down.

For Lin Zhe, the sudden appearance of the Tang army is indeed a trouble, of course, it is just a small trouble, with the strength of Lin Zhe's army, the 100,000 Tang army is just sending food, the question is, will there be more Tang troops in the future.

Lin Zhe didn't pay attention to the 100,000 Tang army, if he increased another 100,000 to 200,000, it would be a little troublesome for Lin Zhe, and it would take more things to defeat the 200,000 army, and he had to be cautious and cautious.

After all, the total strength of Lin Zhe's army is 35,000, in addition to the three main forces of the Yunjia Army's Second Infantry Division, the Third Infantry Division, and the First Cavalry Division, a total of more than 32,000 people, there are also 3,000 city defense troops.

If the Tang army exceeds 200,000, it will be a big trouble for Lin Zhe's army, and if you want to defeat the enemy, Lin Zhe's army must use various tricks to eat it bite by bite, and you can't continue to push it sideways.

There is no need for Lin Zhe to say that the Tianmu Hengzhou Branch and the Xunfeng Hengzhou Branch will send their men to collect intelligence on the Tang army, and more importantly, to find out where the Tang army came from, if this problem is not solved, the Tang army will continue to pour into the pass.

On the same day, Wang Shuo led 100,000 Wang troops and 150,000 Shijia coalition troops to fight in the north of Tongzhou.

In the face of such a situation, the three families of the Sun clan of Chungling, the Dongfang clan of Guangwu, and the Lin clan of Changyi understood that they had lost this war and there was no need to fight it any longer, but the three families of Sun Lin Dongfang would not surrender to Wang Shuo, which was the dignity of the family.

The war on the battlefield in the north of Tongzhou was temporarily stopped, and the three families of Sun Lin and Dongfang began negotiations with Wang Shuo, and finally Wang Shuo obtained the support of the three families of Sun Lin and the East with part of their interests, and the three families of Sun Lin and Dongfang would fully support Wang Shuo to become the new ruler of Guannai.

With the addition of Sun Lin Dongfang's three families, the strength of the Baode Wang clan increased sharply, and the soldiers and horses under Wang Shuo's command directly increased from more than 200,000 to nearly 400,000, which was basically four times that of Yun Yi's soldiers and horses.

When Wang Shuo subdued Sun Lin Dongfang's three families, Shi Mincai's army also occupied the southern part of Tongzhou, but after Shi Mincai received the information sent by Tianmu and Xunfeng, he learned that Wang Shuo had subdued Sun Lin's three Dongfang families, Shi Mincai gave up marching to the east and instead built a defensive line in the southern area of Tongzhou to prevent Wang Shuo's army from going south.

Wang Shuo did not rush to lead the army south to defeat the Yun clan in one fell swoop after the three families of Sun Lin Dongfang, and finally completed the unification of the Guannei, the three families of Sun Lin and Dongfang were just subdued by Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo needed to control the three families of Sun Lin Dongfang as much as possible,

Born in a family, Wang Shuo couldn't know more about the situation of the family, Wang Shuo didn't want his descendants to fall into the same fate as the Fang family, so when Wang Shuo won the support of other families or subdued other families, he would slowly weaken the strength of the family.

"It's enough to have only one family in the world." This is Wang Shuo's inner thoughts.

In addition to Wang Shuo to deal with the affairs of the three families of Sun Lin and Dongfang, the big trouble of the Su and Shen families in Huizhou also needs to be solved by Wang Shuo, the Yun family can compete with his Wang family, and the strength cannot be underestimated.

The war on the northern battlefield did not begin many times before it stopped again, and the war on the southern battlefield had just begun.

Time passed day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

By April 18, Lin Zhe's army almost occupied the western area of Hengzhou, and opposite Lin Zhe's army, the Tang army also occupied almost the eastern area of Hengzhou.

The Tang army in Hengzhou has been the first 100,000 horses from time to time, and in the past half a month, the Tang army has been coming out of the Jiuling Mountains in a steady stream, and Feng Ye's soldiers and horses have reached 170,000.

However, there is also good news, the scouts who seek the wind find out where the Tang army came out of the Jiuling Mountain Range, Lin Zhe's army only needs to defeat the Tang army led by Feng Ye, and then lead the army to sit at that road intersection, no matter how many troops the Tang Dynasty sends, they will be blocked in the Jiuling Mountain Range.

On the twenty-first day of April, Lin Zhe's army and Feng Ye's army met unexpectedly about sixty miles south of Hengzhou City.

Both Lin Zhe and Feng Ye understood that this battle was inevitable, a brutal battle was about to start, and both sides were sitting in the final preparations.

In the main camp tent of Feng Ye's army, Feng Ye gave the next battle plan to the generals in the army.

Feng Ye had a total of 170,000 soldiers and horses, but 30,000 soldiers and horses were scattered and stationed in the various cities occupied by Feng Ye's army, and on this battlefield, Feng Ye had only 140,000 men and horses at his disposal.

Although Feng Ye only had 140,000 men and horses at his disposal, Feng Ye believed that the Tang Dynasty would win this battle.

Among the 140,000 horses that Feng Ye could mobilize, the two elite troops, the Flying Leopard Cavalry and the Xuanjia Army, were there, while the Lin Zhe army on the opposite side was less than 34,000 people, and the strength of Feng Ye's army was four times that of Lin Zhe's army, and Feng Ye's army occupied a huge advantage in strength.

From the information collected in the customs before, Feng Ye learned some information about the Yun army, and knew that the Yun army was equipped with a strange weapon, and was good at winning more with less, but these were literal information after all, and without the way the war had been fought by the Yun army, Feng Ye could not understand how strong the Yun army's army was.

No matter how strong the Yun Clan's army was, Feng Ye himself had the two killer weapons of the Flying Leopard Cavalry and the Xuanjia Army in his hands, and the Yun Clan's army in front of him was already a group of dead people in Feng Ye's eyes.
