After the Jiangnan Army incorporated the 10,000 troops under Wu Yunzhao, the 60,000 troops camped that day and rested for the night. After several major generals got to know each other, Wu Yunzhao had a very happy conversation with Zhang Yu and Xiong Kuohai.

"Ziyu, your marksmanship is so fast, I really can't resist it, it's really amazing. By the way, just talking about the world's heroes, I am ranked fifth, and how many are the fools? ”

"Hehe, the general only said that I was on par with you, and didn't say anything else. But it is said that the ranking of the vast sea. ”

"Hey, what is the number one in the vast sea?"

"He is in fourth place, hehe, this guy still wanted to fight just now, but as a result, the general said that the two of us will fight together, and whoever the other party chooses is whoever, as a result, your brother chose the general. Recently, the hands of the majestic sea have been itchy, and this time they didn't catch the battle, haha. ”

"I also said that, I finally met a powerful opponent, but who knew that it failed again. Hey, next time I don't know how to wait until the Year of the Monkey! ”

As he spoke, the expression on Xiong Kuohai's face was dejected.

Hey, there is still a fourth hero in the world hidden here, Wu Yunzhao was taken aback.

Looking at the body of the majestic sea of one meter nine, you can know that it is not easy to think with, Wu Yunzhao thought to himself, since he is ranked fourth in the world, probably his martial arts will not be bad.

The fourth and fifth generals in the world are here, and the general's force is much stronger than himself, but I don't know how many nouns are ranked.

Ahem, do other forces in the world want to live?

The rise of the Jiangnan Army, Wu Yunzhao really doesn't know.

In the past, I only knew that the Sui Dynasty had an army to suppress the rebellion in Jiangnan, and it was estimated that there would not be many troops.

Now that Lu Chang led his troops across the river suddenly, Wu Yunzhao couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"By the way, after the death of Emperor Sui Lie, wasn't the army of the imperial court taken away by Yu Wenhua and Du, why did there appear so many troops?"

Listening to Wu Yunzhao's questioning, Zhang Yuwan smiled and said, "Hehe, Yu Wenhua took away most of the Sui Dynasty army, that's right.

But. The general exterminated the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, and was invincible in every battle, and the army was constantly growing.

To put it mildly, there is no force in the world that has a larger territory than Jiangnan. As for the strength of the army, hehe, we'll see. ”

Zhang Yu introduced Jiang Nan's strength to Wu Yunzhao, and Wu Yunzhao was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open.

There is such a behemoth across the river. It's really no wonder that Wu Yunzhao was surprised.

The Sui Dynasty had just collapsed, and Yu Wenhua had just left with the Sui Dynasty army, and the Jiangnan army had risen rapidly, could Wu Yunzhao not be surprised?

Probably even Li Zitong and Du Fuwei couldn't have imagined that there was a fierce tiger lurking across the river, and now it had opened its sharp claws to tear them to pieces.

Of course, Wu Yunzhao is just a general, and he knows the general situation of the distribution of forces in the world, and he doesn't count the number of soldiers and horses of the specific parties.

Moreover, the number of troops claimed by the parties is not accurate. Li Zitong also shouted that he had 100,000 troops.

The army rested for the night, and the next morning, the general Lu Chang ascended the tent.

Although the Southern Army is still quite far from the battlefield, the battle situation on the front line can be sent to Lu Chang at any time.

The war between Du Fuwei and Li Zitong has reached a fever pitch, and the tragedy of the war has caused a large number of soldiers to die, so that the number of troops on both sides has plummeted, and there may be a collapse caused by which side cannot hold on, and the war may end at any time.

Judging from the situation in hand, Li Zitong's defeat is certain. As of now, there are only a little more than 30,000 of the 50,000 troops in his hands, and how long he can support it depends on his luck.

And Du Fuwei's military consumption is also very large, but it is more than the number of Li Zitong's army. There are still more than 40,000 troops in his hands, at least the total strength is superior to Li Zitong, and he has an absolute advantage.

Another important point is that Du Fuwei's reinforcements are almost arriving, but Li Zitong's reinforcements were intercepted by Lu Chang. The military strength of both sides is one and the other, and Li Zitong will not be able to do it without tragedy.

So. Lu Chang's purpose in sending troops at this time was obvious, the Jiangnan army wanted to cut off Li Zitong's return route and create an atmosphere of panic in Li Zitong's army, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.

"The generals will listen to the order, Zhang Yuke?"

"No, the last will be."

"I order you to personally lead 10,000 troops, march into Hangou under the banner of Chen Ling of the Jiangdu Army, and cut off Li Zitong's return route, there must be no mistake!"

"Nuo, hold high the banner of Chen Ling of the Jiangdu Army, block the ditch and cut off Li Zitong's return route. The final general will be able to complete the task. ”

"The other generals acted with General Ben, waved their troops across the ditch, and only reached the north of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, and once the fighters appeared, they would annihilate Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army in one fell swoop."

"No, the last general."

The 60,000-strong army set off from camp and went straight to the direction of Hangou.

Hangou starts from the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou in the south and reaches the Huai River north of Huai'an in the north.

The first time the ditch was excavated and built was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a "ditch" connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River was dug near Yangzhou in the Wu Kingdom.

During the period from Hangou to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was damaged and impassable.

The second time was built during the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Lie of the Sui Dynasty "sent more than 100,000 people from Huainan to open a ditch, from Shanyang to Yangjiang".

This was a large-scale renovation and expansion on the basis of the old one, and gradually formed the scale of the canal for future generations.

The end of the ditch chokes the mouth of the ditch into the Huai, is the hub of the four major water systems of the river, the Huai, the river and the Ji, not only the key point of transportation, but also a few sentences of military strategy to rush, the war in the Jianghuai region will fight for Huai'an.

In the Central Plains War, whether it was attacking from the south to the north or squeezing from the north to the south, Huai'an has always been an important military town where "the south must be won and then enterprising and capitalized, and the north must be won and then the salary and transportation are unimpeded".

Lu Chang attached great importance to the battle of Jianghuai, after all, this place was the gateway for the Jiangnan Army to enter the Central Plains in the north, and it was impossible to talk about entering the Central Plains if the two major forces of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong in the Jianghuai region were not cleared.

There is another important reason that Lu Chang must solve the two major obstacles in the Jianghuai region in a short period of time.

At this time, Yu Wenhua and Wagang Li Mi were confronting. War between them could break out at any time, and it was Lu Chang's usual method to compete with each other for the benefit of the fisherman, and he didn't want to lose such a great opportunity. Lu Chang just wants to be that fisherman.

If this battle can be smoothly and quickly resolved, the two major military forces of Li Zitong and Du Fuwei will be successfully completed as scheduled.

Zhang Yu led 10,000 troops to set off under the banner of Chen Ling of the Jiangdu Army, and then, Lu Chang pulled out the camp and led 50,000 troops to march to Hangou.

Don't look at Lu Chang's only 50,000 troops, it doesn't seem to have much advantage compared with the forces of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong.

But there is one thing that neither Du Fuwei nor Li Zitong can compare, that is, Lu Chang has 5,000 cavalry in his hands.

This is a fatal trump card in the decisive battle between the two armies, and it is definitely an overwhelming advantage over the reckless army of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong. (To be continued.) )
