September 18, the southern suburbs of Wancheng.

Emperor Wu and many courtiers sent the [Southern Army] here.

The [Expeditionary Southern Army] is based on the 5,000 patrol battalion in the Wancheng Wangcheng Guard, and its commander is the general Sheng Nong, who is directly in charge of the patrol battalion, and the rest such as the eldest son Lin Yuren, Gongzi Xin and Lin Yuyan are nominally subject to the control of this [Commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army].

In this ceremony, Lin Yuyan did not come forward, today because Wanchengcang donated 500,000 stones, Han Kui, an upstart in the court, often accompanied Emperor Wu.

"What about my six sons?!"

It seems that Lin Yuyan and the Shanglin Yuan army were not found, and Emperor Wu also asked.

Han Kui replied beside Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan has already led the Wuyang army of Shanglin Yuan to the south a few days ago. ”

When Emperor Wu heard this, he touched his beard and said: "This tiger has not changed, Han Qing, when the Wu Kingdom and the Jin Han clan went to war, this tiger was only ten years old, and he stayed in the palace and had not yet left the cabinet, so he took a few imperial brothers to make trouble and shouted that he wanted to go to the battlefield...... I almost handed over a few of their princes to the Zongfu at that time! ”

"Haha......" Han Kui also laughed twice.

"Han Qing, how about you take a look at this southern expedition?" Emperor Wu asked.

Hearing this, Han Kui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is relieved, you have to believe that there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"I am not just a guide, but a ......," Emperor Wu wanted to say and stopped.

Han Kui pretended to have just understood, and said, "Kui still advises Your Majesty to believe that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain......

"Wow! Ooh! Ooh! ”

Suddenly, the news of the departure of the army sounded under the city wall, and many people's eyes looked over.

"Play music, beat the drums!"

A herald said so loudly.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums and trumpets sounded.

Emperor Wu put his hands on the city wall and watched the departure of this southern army.

The southern suburbs gathered nearly 10,000 troops to conquer the south, one by one, the general Sheng Nong led the 5,000 soldiers of the patrol battalion Finally, the war horse neighed, Sheng Nong strangled the war horse under the crotch, and after saluting Emperor Wu, he turned his horse and rushed to the south.

At this time, Lin Yuyan had already rushed to the garrison destination of the Wuyang Army-Chungling.

He also knew the tactics of the imperial court's expedition to the south this time, and at present, although the prince of Deng Guo Xu dedicated the map of Deng Guo to Wu Guo, he may have given Wu Guo Deng Guo The entire territory can be taken by himself.

However, Wu Guo was extremely conservative about the conquest of the Southern Army, and only wanted to keep the southern border of Wu State, and did not have any expectations for whether he could recover the land of Deng State.

Such an attitude made Lin Yuyan feel that he must not go to the center of the front line of the southern border defense line [Fan Di], where he would be restrained by the two generals Sheng Nong and Guan Ning, and he would not be able to let go at all.

Lin Yuyan asked the Wuyang Army to be stationed in Chungling, which made Fang De, who currently thinks that the Wuyang Army is a veteran of the border army, can not understand, and on the first day of the Wuyang Army's arrival in Chungling, Fang De entered Lin Yuyan's garrison tent.

"Your Highness, right now, General Fan Di's [Xia Shui Xiangling] plan has lost its time, and Fan Di is now short of major generals, why don't we go to support Fan Di?!"

Lin Yuyan sat in the center of the big tent, with a map that had just been drawn in front of him.

Hearing Fang De come in and ask such a question, Lin Yuyan also raised his head and motioned for Fang De to sit down: "General Fang, look at the map of the southern border that has just been drawn. ”

Fang De also took advantage of the situation to sit down, looked at the map on the table, and didn't find anything strange.

Lin Yuyan reminded: "General Fang, tell me about the topographical location of this Lingling. ”

Fang De glanced at the map, during this period of time, as a veteran of the border army, he already had a simple understanding of the topography and location of Chungling.

At that moment, Fang De opened his mouth and came: "This Lingling is the eastern mountainous area in the south of the Wu Kingdom, the population is only a few thousand, and the south is Tongbai Mountain, and there is no war here, the last general really can't understand what the garrison is here for?" ”

Lin Yuyan shook his head, but continued to ask, "What about the other side of Tongbai Mountain?" ”

Fang De thought for a moment and said, "Yun Mengze of the old Chu State? ”

Lin Yuyan nodded heavily, "Well, it's indeed Yun Mengze, General Fang, I already sent someone to contact the woodcutter hunter in the mountains here a month ago and drew such a map of the north and south of Tongbai Mountain." ”

Fang De is worthy of being a veteran of the border army, and as soon as he heard Lin Yuyan say this, he immediately asked: "Does Your Highness mean to cross Tongbai Mountain?" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Yuyan responded, then took his charcoal pen, drew a line on the map, and said to Fang De: "To the south of Tongbai Mountain, to the north of Yunmengze, there was an ancient country, called the Tang Kingdom, which was the location of the royal family surnamed Ji when Ji Zhou was first built, and was later destroyed by the powerful Chu State, and a group of people moved north to the south of the Wu Kingdom, that is, the area of Chungling. ”

"Through these old Tang people, the scout battalion has discovered an ancient road that runs through Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze's [Ancient Tang Road], which can reach Suiguo, where the [Beiwang Army] of the Northern Expedition of Jing Kingdom is located today!"

Suiguo?!

Fang De was surprised, he really didn't expect His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor to be so bold, but after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not, it is said that there are tens of thousands of people in the [Northern King Army], and the three thousand people of the Wuyang Army alone are probably hitting stones with eggs!" ”

Lin Yuyan shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he changed his words to Fang De: "General Fang, with the three thousand soldiers of the Wuyang Army, it is indeed a lie to defeat the Northern King Army, but it is not very difficult to hold back the Northern King Army. ”

"General Fang, to be honest, the main forces of the Xinye Army and the Southern Expeditionary Army have already gathered in Fandi, and our three thousand people go or don't tell the truth, there is not much difference between the confrontation with the [Shouwang Army] of Jing State, but we have to turn over Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze, and drag the [Beiwang Army], is it relieving a large part of the pressure on Fandi?!"

Hearing this, Fang Dezhen had no way to refuse the prospect of Gongzi Yan's promise, as long as he dragged the [Northern Wang Army] and prevented him from going to Deng Guo and [Shou Wang Jun] to make peace, it would definitely be much more effective than going directly to Fan Di.

"His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, how sure are you that Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze will be inserted?!"

Listening to Fang De's question, Lin Yuyan also knew that Fang De had been moved.

"Seventy percent sure, now that I have found the [Ancient Tang Dao], I am sending people to know the way these days, but now it is autumn, and the [Beiwang Army] will rush to Deng after replenishing the autumn grain in Suiguo."

Fang Dedao: "Now that the decision has been made, without further ado, we should act as soon as possible!" ”

"So, does General Fang agree with Yan's approach?"

Fang De's face was embarrassed, and he said: "During this time, I have already understood the matter of His Highness's pacification of bandits, and now [Horizontal Tongbai Mountain Yunmengze] has made the last general even more sure." ”

"When?" Lin Yuyan was a little curious.

"Your Highness has practiced the [Tricky Soldier Dao] of the soldiers?!"
