Tang Ao had already expected this, although the reason why Wu Zetian made such a big move was unknown, it was definitely aimed at him in his bones. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As for Li Xiaoyi's army hanging over the head of the Yangzhou army, the time has not yet come, or the Yangzhou army is just a bait.

"Runzhou City is small and surrounded by enemies on three sides, there is no development prospect, we will go out of the city at night and turn into Huainan Province Shouzhou, Shouzhou is located on the shore of Huaishui, Huaishui is connected with the canal, and the critical moment can go against the current to force Luoyang."

Tang Ao took out a very detailed map and made his suggestion.

Xu Jingye frowned and said: "It is not easy to jump out of the encirclement of Li Xiaoyi's army, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Bozhou, Yingzhou, and Wu Zhou on the south bank of Bianshui, and it is very difficult to recruit troops and horses in Shouzhou, and the money and food soldiers cannot be received at all." ”

Wei Siwen did not agree with Tang Ao's proposal.

"It would be good if you could jump out of the trapped place in the south of the Yangtze River, but this official guessed that Li Xiaoyi's army was besieging but not attacking, and one of the purposes was to lure our army to the Jiangning area of Jinling, which is a strategy of encircling three and one in the art of war, and this officer can assert that if our army is transferred to Jinling, it will usher in a catastrophe."

Xue Chang was full of confidence in Tang Ao and retorted: "The direction of Jinling is certainly dangerous, but the entire Yangzhou army is only 2,000 people, and with Tang Shilang's magic powers, he can cross Jinling and enter Huainan Road without knowing it, and jump out of the encirclement of Li Xiaoyi's army in one fell swoop." ”

Xu Jingye and the others' eyes fell on Tang Ao one after another, they had already seen Tang Ao's style of arranging the formation and shaking the 300,000 army of Black Tooth Chang.

If you can give full play to the power of a cultivator immortal master, it is really a good choice to transfer to Huainan Dao.

Tang Ao's heart suddenly froze, and he blurted out: "It seems that I was negligent, maybe Wu Zetian also thinks so, Li Xiaoyi is just a force on the surface, and those cultivators recruited by Wu Zetian may be waiting in the direction of Jinling, waiting for us to get into our pockets." ”

Xu Jingye and the others had all experienced the sharpness and invincibility of the humane essence and blood, and when they heard that there were cultivators waiting for the rabbit in the direction of Jinling, their faces couldn't help but be gloomy.

In the face of Li Xiaoyi's army, there may be hope of escape, but in the face of the encirclement and hunting of cultivators, they think that it is difficult to deal with it, and it is a good way to die without a place to bury.

Tang Ao can be sure that there are masters around Wu Zetian, at least there is a Lin Shuxiang who is in the transformation period.

If Lin Shuxiang is in Jinling, then the Yangzhou army's transfer to Huainan Road is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

But he knew better that the Yangzhou army was nothing more than a rope on Jinhua's ham - incidentally, Wu Zetian's real target was him.

There was danger in crossing Jinling, and there was a big ambush outside Luoyang City, and Tang Ao suddenly fell into contemplation and weighed the pros and cons.

It wasn't until Xu Jingye and others were impatient that he said: "Even if Tang has great ability, he can't replace the role of the Yangzhou Army, so it is very necessary to preserve the strength of the Yangzhou Army, so the Yangzhou Army must be transferred to Shouzhou, Huainan Province, to form a favorable situation that can be attacked, retreated, and defended." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jingye sighed softly.

Tang Ao is no longer what it used to be, and it is not impossible for him to give up the Yangzhou army in his mind, but he chose to help the Yangzhou army through the predicament, whether it is for himself or against the great cause of Wu Zhou, it is a key move.

Cheng Wuting said in a deep voice: "Then how can we avoid the encirclement and interception of the cultivators under Wu Zetian's command?" ”

Cheng Wuting was not afraid of fighting in battle, but he was helpless against the cultivator's magic powers.

If you face a battle like the humane essence blood wolf smoke, the only remaining seed of the Yangzhou army is afraid that it will be wiped out.

"There is only one way, let the cultivators under Wu Zetian think that there are no cultivators in the Yangzhou army, and arrange a suspicious army to counterattack Yangzhou to attract the cultivators who may appear under Wu Zetian's command, but in this way, the Yangzhou army must fight a few tough battles."

Tang Ao couldn't help but have a faint headache when he thought about the current combatable soldiers of the Yangzhou army, with the participation of no cultivators on both sides, could the Yangzhou army break through the blockade of the Wu Zhou army and enter Huainan Road? Jinling has heavy troops!

Xue Ne frowned and said, "Then call the dismissed soldiers back?" There are about more than 3,000 disabled soldiers, and if you pull some young people from Runzhou, you can barely get together 5,000 soldiers and horses, but the combat effectiveness of these 5,000 soldiers and horses is probably not as good as the elite of Yangzhou with more than 1,500 people. ”

Tang Zhiqi pointed in the direction of Chuzhou and said: "Li Chongfu still has some soldiers and horses outside Chuzhou City, all of them are combatable soldiers, and the number of two combined troops can probably be gathered in one place, but compared with the 30,000 Wu Zhou troops in Jinling City, the disadvantage in strength is still very great. ”

Xu Jingye shook his head and said: "The dismissed disabled soldiers and Runzhou Qingzhuang are of little use, but will drag down the combat effectiveness and marching speed of the Yangzhou army, but Li Chongfu's soldiers and horses had better go south and merge with our army, so let's go to Lord Lao Tang Zhiqi for this matter!" ”

"Tang received the order." Tang Zhiqi's suggestion was to let him go, and he was stopped by Tang Ao just as he was about to leave.

Tang Ao knew that Li Chongfu still had a group of soldiers and horses near Chuzhou, Tang Zhiqi had to pass through Li Xiaoyi's defense area in Yangzhou, and if there was a mistake on the road alone, it would be the loss of the Yangzhou army.

Therefore, he drew a talisman for Tang Zhiqi on the spot, which was a teleportation talisman containing aura, so that Tang Zhiqi could take it out and tear it up when he was in danger, and he would definitely be safe.

Xu Jingye thought that Tang Ao would personally lead the cultivators to act as a suspicious soldier to counterattack Yangzhou to contain Li Xiaoyi, but Tang Ao handed over this very important and arduous task to a girl named Yan Zixuan.

Although he knew that he couldn't guess the strength of a cultivator based on his age and appearance, he was still apprehensive, and between his words, he hoped that Tang Ao would go outside Yangzhou City in person.

Tang Ao explained: "Yan Zixuan and others are powerful cultivators of magic and magic, if they can't contain and mobilize Li Xiaoyi in Yangzhou, it is in vain for Tang to go, it is better to stay in Yangzhou Army Counselor Military Aircraft, whether or not they can be transferred to Huainan Province this time is related to the life and death of the Yangzhou Army, Tang should go all out." ”

Tang Ao also had another layer of consideration, on the premise of not using magic powers, his physical strength was far comparable to that of ordinary people, and he was an excellent candidate to charge into battle.

Only by taking the lead in arousing the morale of the whole army can there be hope of taking this army across Jinling to Huainan Shouzhou.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jinling was set up because of the mountain, and Jinling Yi was placed, and the river was still flowing under the west foot of Qingliang Mountain at that time.

The situation of Jinlingyi Linjiang and Huai is very dangerous, so King Chu Wei chose to build a city here, wanting to use the Yangtze River as a barrier to plot the world.

During the march, King Luo Bin told the origin of the name Jinling, and Wang Bo, another great talent, put forward a different opinion.

"In fact, there is also a saying that the king of Chu Wei buried the gold and said, when the king of Chu Wei thought that Jinling had a royal spirit, he buried the gold in Longwan, Shanbei, the ancient book recorded very clearly, during the reign of King Zhou Xian, Chu Zixiong Shang defeated the Yue country, and took the hometown of Wu State, so the land has the royal spirit and buried the gold town, the place name Jinling."

The two great talents quoted the scriptures and listened to the people who were obsessed, Tang Ao rode on a horse, wore a treasure robe to perform concealment, and looked at Jinling from afar.

As a cultivator, although he does not use his aura mana, his eyesight is also different from others, and it can be seen that the terrain of Jinling is really a tiger.

Presumably, in the ancient times, there must have been a large-scale spiritual stone deposit or a spiritual vein under it, and the remaining afterglow continued to bless this side of the world.

The Yangzhou army had no intention of attacking Jinling, and attacking this important town with more than 1,000 troops was tantamount to suicide.

However, it is not easy to cross the north of Jinling, and there are many walled forts on the outskirts of Jinling City, and the history of these walled forts can be traced back to the Wuhu Rebellion period.

At that time, the Jiangnan Shi clan was worried that the northern nomads would go south, and they spent huge sums of money to build defensive fortresses.

Later, the unified society of the world tended to be stable, but the walled fort was not abandoned, but became the private castle of the big landowners.

Wangjiazhai is a castle with a high wall, only two gates in the east and west, the mountains in the east stretch and the dangerous peaks are many, and the city of Jinling in the west is the only way to cross Jinling.

The people of Wangjiazhai have been farming for generations, and they have subsidized their families with hunting, and their ancestors are big families who have moved south from the north, so the people here are very strong.

Since Xu Jingye raised troops in Yangzhou, the people in the mountains and fields all thought that the war would drag on for a long time, and many people dragged their families and mouths to stay away from Yangchu and Chuzhou, and Wangjiazhai gathered more than 10,000 people who fled.

At this time, shacks and bunks were built everywhere in Wangjiazhai, and the sunny place was also crowded with poor people who were hiding from the chaos.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Wangjiazhai is a good place, there are a large number of roe deer rabbits in the mountains here, it is summer and autumn season at this time, the trees are full of wild fruits, even if they do not produce can fill their stomachs, but also avoid the pain of forced labor.

The people who come here think that this is a paradise and most of them want to settle here.

But what the people who fled here never expected was that within a few days of the good days, some people from Wangjiazhai forcibly pulled the young and strong to form a soil group.

Anyone who did not obey Wangjiazhai's orders was beheaded and abandoned in the wilderness, and under such a strong suppression, more than 10,000 people could only accept it.

And Wangjiazhai has an additional young and strong team of three or four thousand people, plus the original family of Wangjiazhai, the number of soldiers in battle has reached 8,000.

One of the people who were oppressed by Wangjiazhai was a big family in Runzhou, Liu Jun, the son of Sima Liu Yansi of Runzhou.

Before the Yangzhou army captured Runzhou, Sima Liu Yansi had a premonition that Runzhou City was difficult to defend, so he moved his family and relatives out of Runzhou first.

Sure enough, the remnants of Yangzhou went down to Runzhou in a battle, not only captured Liu Yansi, but also defeated and killed Yin Yuanzhen, the commander of Qu'a County, who led the troops to rescue.

Liu Jun originally planned to move his family to Jinling according to his father's order, but he was coerced and coerced when Wangjiazhai was resting.

As a scholar and the son of an official eunuch, Liu Jun was deeply shocked.

Jinling is a big city, but less than sixty miles away from Jinling City, there is actually a grass coward who occupies the mountain as the king, not only has a large number of people, but also has weapons and armor.

Could it be that Wangjiazhai is trying to rebel? Or is there a connection between Wangjiazhai and the Yangzhou rebels?
