Wang Ping also got up: "The general is mighty, and the last general is willing to gallop with the general to Jingnan, sweep away the Jiangdong thieves, and make them dare not look west!" ”

All the newcomers who came to see them all expressed their attitudes, and they all got up and saluted Huo Yi.

Huo Yi looked at the generals in the tent, got up slowly, and said loudly: "Since our army has broken the Jiangdong Army, its remaining military horses have become lost dogs, and our army should chase after the remaining bravery." Youming, can the scout camp be rewarded for exploring the enemy? ”

Ye Bing walked out of class to the topography map in the tent, pointed to a certain place on the map, and said in a loud voice: "Most of the various units of our army will rest in Xiangnan City, the enemy army will go down the river from Lianshui, enter Xiangshui, and return to Linxiang City, according to the observation of scouts, its army and horses are less than 10,000 people, most of them are water divisions, and the nearest Jiangdong stronghold from Linxiang is Yiyang on the south bank of Zishui, and the garrison is only more than 3,000, which is not a climate. The second is the Lukou camp in Jiangxia County, where Jiangdong has been operating for many years. However, due to the Jiangdong Army's attack on our two counties, most of the Lukou army has already been dispatched, and there are no more than 10,000 military horses left. ”

After speaking, Ye Zhi retreated, in fact, Huo Yi had already plotted Jiangdong's territory in Jingzhou, but due to the constraints of the covenant, he could not send troops to seize it, and Jiangdong was extremely strong in these places, and half of Jiangdong's military horses were in Jiangxia and Changsha. Huo Yi also didn't dare to brush the tiger's whiskers, now that the Jiangdong people launched an offensive first and broke the covenant, then he did not have the obligation to abide by the "Xiangshui Alliance", and it was even more rare that the Jiangdong army was greatly injured at the moment, and the time was ripe for him to seize Jiangxia.

Huo Yi glanced at the generals and said coldly: "The Jiangdong army attacked my city and killed my soldiers, which blatantly violated the original intention of my lord to be good neighbors and friendly with him. I will not offend anyone, I will not offend anyone; If anyone sins against me, he will repay it many times. Jiangdong has blue eyes, and he actually underestimated tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingnan. Such a villain, we should raise the heavenly soldiers to wipe it out! ”

The generals in the tent were all refreshed when they heard this, and as soon as these words came out, they really lifted everyone's momentum. Huo Yi was about to give an order, but he heard the guards outside the tent say: "General! Quanling urgent! ”

Guan Xing immediately went out to pick up the urgent report. Huo Yi took it from Guan Xing's hand, opened it and looked at it, slowly closed it, and said coldly: "God help me!" ”

Huo Yi raised the secret report in his hand: "Gao Shuyue has already led the horse to Quanling, and he can go north after a few days of rest!" At that time, our army will be prosperous, and the Jiangdong Army will have some men, so there is nothing to fear! ”

"Generals obey orders!"

"Whoa!"

"Zijun (Wang Ping), your department is the first to go out, and you will lead more than 10,000 troops and horses from your headquarters to set off tomorrow. Go to Linxiang City first, suppress the castration of the remnants of Jiangdong, and don't let it escape! Huo Yi pointed at Wang Ping. Lang said.

Huo Yi turned to Wang Chong: "Zijin." You lead all the cavalry under the command of our army to an ambush on the mountain road fifty miles north of Linxiang City, and wait for the remnants of the enemy army to come here, and kill the horses without leaving a single one! ”

Wang Chonglang said: "Oh! ”

"An Guo, you led more than 1,000 troops and horses from your headquarters to camp thirty miles northwest of Linxiang City. Stop the enemy forces in Yiyang that may come to help! Huo Yi said.

"Whoa!" Guan Xinglang responded.

"Zihe (Liu Min)! You led the newly recruited sergeants of Lingling to garrison in Xiangxiang City in case of enemy attacks, and ordered Gao Shuyue to lead all the men and horses to maneuver to Linxiang after resting! Huo Yi looked at Liu Min and said.

Liu Min nodded in agreement.

Huo Yi looked at the generals in the tent. Lang said: "Whether our army can occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou depends on you!" We should move forward together. Work together, be sure to do the best! ”

"Whoa!"

The next day, the army under Huo Yi's command was immediately dispatched, Wang Ping's men and horses were the first to start, Wang Chong's cavalry went fast, but it was in second place, followed by more than 1,000 partial divisions of Guan Xing, and finally, Huo Yi led the army headquarters and marched north from Xiangnan City.

At this moment, Linxiang City is a mess, not because of the side, the generals of Jiangdong who have not been captured or killed are all here, and after the frame of Lu Meng escaped to Linxiang City, Lu Meng swallowed his last breath. When the generals of the Jiangdong Army arrived in Linxiang, they did not think of deploying military horses to explore the enemy and prevent Huo Yi from attacking the north, but they were very sad.

Subsequently, there was a quarrel over who commanded the remaining less than 10,000 military horses, and among the more than 10,000 military horses, the majority was Ling Tong, and only his troops were intact, and most of the rest of the generals lacked soldiers and major generals. All the generals cited Zhu Ran as the main general, and Ling Tong was very proud, and he simply attributed this defeat to Zhu Ran's inaction and refused to let him become the main general.

Zhu Ran was also guilty, so he didn't speak, but Ling Tong was very shallower than the future, and he never asked to be the chief general, but in the end, both sides gave in and recommended Zhu Huan as the chief general of each army.

This first step was to send Lü Meng's body back to Jiangdong, and when this matter was completed, when he wanted to deploy military horses to take over the defense of Linxiang City and mobilize men and horses to guard the Jingnan Army in the south, he was shocked to find that a large number of military horses of the Jingnan Army appeared near Linxiang City, as if they had blocked the way for the Jiangdong Army to return north.

Although Zhu Huan was nominally the commander-in-chief of the various departments, the order was issued but was sunk in stone, because the military horses here were all different, and even many of them were Jiang Qin's military horses who died in battle, and Pan Zhang's troops who surrendered.

At this moment, Linxiang City has not even formed a complete command mechanism.

"General Hume! The Jingnan army obviously wants to wipe out all of us here, what plan does the general have? Ling Tong said loudly.

Zhu Huan looked at Ling Tong and the Jiangdong general, but he only sighed: "Our army is in turmoil, and with the new defeat, the battle will be lost!" ”

"Hume, you mean, we're just waiting here to die?" Song Qian said slowly, but there was a faint look of despair in his eyes.

"In my opinion, it is better to go to Yiyang, the enemy army blocked my way to the north, but Yiyang still has 3,000 military horses of General Chenghei (Teng Yin), or it can be preserved, at that time, our army will return from Yiyang north to Luo County, and then retreat to Lukou Dazhai, so that our army can be saved!" Zhu Ran said loudly.

Han Dang also nodded when he heard this: "This plan is feasible!" ”

"Okay, sooner rather than later, all departments quickly rectify the army and horses, and we will withdraw from the West Gate!" Zhu Huan ordered loudly.

It was evening, and the night had just fallen. The west gate of Linxiang City was opened, and the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong slowly came out of the west gate and headed for Yiyang.

But it was said that Huo Yi's people and horses were not slow, just arrived at the south of Linxiang City, twenty miles south, only to see a horse galloping in front of the head, and when Huo Yi approached, the knight turned over and dismounted: "General!" On the order of General Ye, my scout camp went to the left of Linxiang City, and found that all the military horses in the city had withdrawn from the West Gate, and there seemed to be signs of going to Yiyang! General Ye had already sent a message to General Wang, asking him to send troops to intercept him. ”
