When the general Lu Chang was still busy working on the snow-white belly of the beauties of Danyang Palace, Jiangnan had already launched preparations for war.

In late October, the south of the Yangtze River was still lush with foliage, and the north had gradually entered the season of ice and snow, and the fighting on all sides had gradually stopped. Recuperate and prepare to fight again next year.

The Jiangnan military war lasted for three months, the grain and grass were ready, the soldiers and horses were assembled, and the army could quickly attack north after just one order.

200,000 new troops have been added to this preparation, and they will be scattered and supplemented by other armies, but it will not affect the combat effectiveness.

After the New Year, from mid-February, the Jiangnan army began to assemble along the canal to the banks of the Yellow River.

It was impossible for the military operations on the south bank of the Yellow River not to be investigated by the other side, and soon Dou Jiande in Hebei and Song Jingang in the south of Shanxi were alarmed, and they thought that the Jiangnan army was going to take military action and immediately attack in a big way.

Dou Jiande learned from the intelligence that the Jiangnan army had gathered six or seven hundred thousand troops along the Yellow River, and he was immediately frightened, how could this battle be fought?

In the past, it was only known that the Jiangnan Army rose rapidly, and swept across the south bank of the Yellow River in one year, eliminating Yu Wenhua, Li Mi's Wagang Army and Wang Shichong of Luoyang.

After the end of the Luoyang War, Dou Jiande learned about the battle situation in Luoyang from different channels, and immediately broke out in a sweat.

This Jiangnan Lu Chang is not moving, and if he moves, he is a blockbuster, and the army in his hands is so strong.

Maybe he didn't know Jiangnan Lu Chang before, but now that he knows that there is such a force in the world, Dou Jiande feels Alexander.

The battle on the battlefield in Luoyang made Dou Jiande very nervous at that time, thinking that the next step would be him.

But Dou Jiande was on guard for several months, and he didn't see the Jiangnan Army continue to march north to attack Hebei, and his vigilance gradually relaxed.

Now, the Jiangnan army has begun to assemble again, I'm afraid this time it won't be fake, the Jiangnan army really plans to attack Hebei.

Dou Jiande discussed countermeasures with his subordinates and how to deal with the Jiangnan Army next.

Liu Bin, a member of the Zhongshu House, suggested: "The Jiangnan Army is menacing. Our army is weak and invincible, so we should put the weak troops in front to monitor and the heavy troops in the rear to observe the development of the situation. Even if the Jiangnan army really attacks Hebei, our army will have room for maneuver. Another one. The scourge of Luo Yi needs to be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, the situation of our army being attacked by the enemy will be very bad. ”

Dou Jiande was overjoyed and accepted this Jianyì.

The rise of the Jiangnan army threatens not only Dou Jiande. For example, Dou Jiande is just one of the three biggest forces today.

In the face of Jiangnan's huge military strength, almost all of the three major forces have adopted a countermeasure, that is, to quickly eliminate the small forces around them that should be eliminated and annexed when they should be annexed, so as to expand their own strength and make themselves capable of confronting the Jiangnan army in the future.

Although the idea is good, the various forces around him will not stand still, and the results in this half a year are not too ideal.

Dou Jiande wanted to destroy Luo Yi in Hebei, but he has not been able to do so so far. However, when the war first started, Luo Yi won several games in a row.

Liu Wuzhou wanted to unify Shanxi. But Li Yuanji left, and there was a difficult Li Shimin when he turned around.

Although Li Shimin only had less than 50,000 soldiers and horses when he came, the result made Li Shimin stand still, and Liu Wuzhou was depressed.

Li Tang, who was under less pressure in Guanzhong, did not complete his strategic intentions, and Li Jiancheng led an army of more than 100,000 to fight against Xue Rengao, and even turned the war into a stalemate.

If Li Shimin fought against Xue Rengao, I am afraid that Xue Rengao would have been solved long ago. But Li Yuan didn't have a front and back eye, and he didn't know the original history, Xue Rengao at this time was already finished.

In Li Yuan's eyes, Li Shimin is already a waste. Out of sight and out of mind, he was sent to Shanxi to deal with Liu Wuzhou. As for the result, Li Yuan didn't have much hope, after all, Liu Wuzhou is now a strong man.

So. Although the three forces are trying to strengthen themselves, the results are not ideal.

Now that it's in trouble, the Jiangnan Army has begun to make some moves.

Li Yuan is better, after all, Chen Bing of the Jiangnan Army is in the east, and he will not be able to take care of the land in Guanzhong for a while. Even if Jiangnan Lu Chang cleaned up Dou Jiande in Hebei, or Liu Wuzhou in Shanxi. At least he Li Yuan still has time to prepare.

Bitter is bitter Dou Jiande in Hebei, and Liu Wuzhou in Shanxi.

Now, Liu Wuzhou is in the north and Song Jingang is in the south, and the two sides are attacking Li Shimin.

Now that the troops of Jiangnan Lu Chang are pressing the border, it makes Liu Wuzhou have a headache.

Although Li Shimin has few soldiers, he is very tenacious, much like a small strong man who can't be killed, not only did he not destroy him, but even let him approach Jinyang.

Under this kind of form, if the Jiangnan army entered Shanxi, it would be fatal. In desperation, Liu Wuzhou asked Song Jingang to transfer troops to strictly guard against the Jiangnan army.

Song Jingang also knew in his heart that Liu Wuzhou and Li Shimin in the north were fighting inextricably, and if the Jiangnan army inserted another lever, the situation in Shanxi would really be chaotic.

Therefore, Song Jingang suppressed the main force of the army in the south and kept it on guard. This is cheaper than Li Shimin, just deal with Liu Wuzhou in front of him.

As the layout of the Jiangnan army became clearer, Li Yuan of Chang'an became more and more clear in his heart that this time the Jiangnan army marched north and assembled along the eastern part of Luoyang, seeing that the posture was really going to use force against the Hebei region.

The Jiangnan army took the lead in attacking others, and Li Yuan of course gloated.

But Li Yuan also knew that since Jiangnan Lu Chang began to expand, once he eliminated Dou Jiande in Hebei, and even Liu Wuzhou, the next step would be his turn.

Therefore, Li Yuan sent someone to inform Li Jiancheng and ordered him to deal with Xue Rengao in the first half of this year, and then return to Chang'an to guard against the Jiangnan Army.

It can be seen that a battle last year made the Jiangnan army, which was originally inconspicuous, shocked the world and made its prestige.

At the beginning of March, the general Lu Chang came to Luoyang, apparently planning to personally command this battle.

Six or seven hundred thousand troops gathered in the area east of Luoyang, where the last war was held, made the nervous hearts of Dou Jiande in Hebei and Song Jingang in Shanxi rise to their throats.

This is the rhythm of the decisive battle, wow.

There is no change in the strength of the troops in the Tongguan area, it is still the 100,000 troops deployed in the area from Tongguan to Luoyang, but the commander has been replaced by the general Qin Qiong.

This situation further relieved Li Yuan of Chang'an, who had little to do with Guanzhong for a while, and was not bad from what he had previously estimated.

It is hoped that the crown prince Li Jiancheng will defeat Xue Rengao as much as possible, and then withdraw his army to guard against the Jiangnan army.

Nima, this Jiangnan Lu Chang is really a little spirited, and he made such a big move quietly, and the speed of his rise is too fast.

The Jiangnan army was arranged, and the target was extremely obvious. According to common sense, Li Yuan's inference is not bad at all.

No matter in terms of troops and topography, the strategy of taking Hebei and then advancing westward is the right one.

If Li Yuan arranged the troops, it would probably be like this. (To be continued.) )
