Chapter 655: Ambush on all sides

Li Xiuning praised Emperor Chen Kefu with a few words, but secretly mentioned himself and his Xuanniao Camp. The tone in that sentence made Zhai Wushuang and Zhang Chuchen, two women who were also dressed in military uniforms, feel that there was something in the words, which only made people feel a strong sourness.

In the eyes of the two women, Zhai Wushuang and Zhang Chuchen, Li Xiuning is already obviously arguing with them, which is full of a taste of harem competition. Among the three, Li Xiuning is one of the four concubines, while the two of them are nine concubines, and their grades are already one level lower. In addition, Li Xiuning has now given birth to a son and a daughter, and the two of them finally gave birth to a little, but both of them have sons too.

The mother is expensive by the son, and the son is revealed by the mother. Although as early as when the empress's eldest grandson Wujian gave birth to a son, the emperor had already decreed that he should be canonized as the crown prince, and had already made a plan for the prince's separation. However, it is still impossible to change the battle between these concubines with princes, not to mention, all along, these women in the harem have not been harmonious, and they have long been divided into several factions. The queen is the most expensive, but she is also relatively isolated. And those foreign concubines are basically relatively low-key, and they are not too close to these Han concubines. The remaining Feng Wan and Luo have not officially entered the palace. Yang Ji'er and Princess Nanyang also have princes, and their sisters are usually together and don't pay much attention to other people. The remaining Li Xiuning, Zhang Chuchen, and Zhai Wushuang also have a prince each, and there is naturally some unspoken hostility between the three of them.

Zhang Chuchen was born in the wind and dust, and he was originally a singer. Zhai Wushuang is also not from a high background. was originally the daughter of a small official, and later became the leader of female bandits. The two had similar backgrounds and somewhat similar personalities, so they gradually got together. Li Xiuning is from the Guanlong aristocratic group and the daughter of the Duke of Guo, so the relationship with Zhang Chuchen is naturally not very good. And in the palace, the three of them each trained a female soldier, and this time the three of them were brought out by the emperor, and they also had a strong heart along the way, and when they spoke, they couldn't help but show some signs.

Zhai Wushuang snorted. was not satisfied with Li Xiuning's praise of his own soldiers and horses. Holding a horse whip in his hand, he flung a loud whip whistle in the air, and Yubi said loudly to the Phoenix Battalion who was crossing the river: "Is the Xuanjia Battalion strong? How do I remember that the Li family's Xuanjia Battalion didn't fight any famous battles at the beginning. In just a year or two, the Xuanjia Army was wiped out, and now who remembers that there was such a Xuanjia Army? "Speaking of which. Zhai Wushuang said a little proudly: "My 5,000 soldiers and horses are much earlier than those Xuanjia battalions or anything, even a few years earlier than His Majesty's broken military camp." Back then, the Wagang Army crisscrossed the Central Plains, and there was also a part of our Phoenix Army here. This re-fight in Jiangdong will definitely open the eyes of some people to know what kind of women's army is. ”

Hearing Zhai Wushuang's counterattack, Li Xiuning didn't seem to be very angry. Maybe it's time that has precipitated everything, Li Xiuning, who gave birth to two children, is very different from before, although most of his father and brothers have died, but Li Xiuning seems to be more and more determined and strong. This time, Chen Kefu originally only recruited the three of them in the female army, and did not plan to let them come too. However, Li Xiuning's attitude is extremely resolute. Even his son and daughter can't take care of it, so they have to lead their troops and horses south.

Li Xiuning sorted out his expression and chuckled: "Since Concubine Zhai and Concubine Zhang are both confident in their own soldiers and horses, do you dare to gamble with me?" ”

"Bet on what?" Although Zhang Chuchen was born as a kabuki before, he has also trained a female soldier with Zhai Wushuang in the past few years. At this time, there was no stage fright at all, and he replied with a smile.

Li Xiuning glanced at Chen Kefu, who was looking at them with a smile, and said, "This bet needs to be decided by His Majesty for us, and the three of us are betting here today, and we will each try it with our soldiers and horses." After this battle, whose soldiers and horses captured the most enemy heads on the battlefield. Then whoever wins. On the winning side, Your Majesty must count the military exploits of our three women's battalions again, and when our children grow up, they will exchange this military exploits for a reward, and reward the prince of the one who has won this victory for the three of us. What do you think? ”…,

Seeing the appearance of the three of them, Chen Kefu couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly on the side. Back a few years ago. These women of his are cuter than the other, and after a few years in the harem, they have all changed. Especially after several children are born, it has changed dramatically. It is said that the mother of the calf is the most terrible, and at this time, Chen Kefu admired the feelings of his predecessors very much.

"Okay, I'll be the judge for you, whoever wins this time, when the child is sealed in the future, I will add a town fief to him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three women spoke in unison, and then immediately instigated their horses, and quickly returned to their respective teams, looking like they might be doing a special mobilization.

A cavalry herald hurried into view at the foot of the hillside and headed straight for him.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Speak." Chen Ke saw that the herald was sweating profusely, panting, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Yesterday night, Feng Wan and Feng Ang led the Baiyue Turkish army to attack Jingkou at night, and the battle was a night, and the important town of Jingkou has been captured, and the two major ferries of Guazhou Ferry and Quarry have been completely occupied by our army. In the early hours of this morning, General Chen Feng had already led 20,000 Jiang generals to cross the Yangtze River and land at Jingkou. ”

"What about Wu Jun? Where is Wu Jun located? Chen Kefu asked carefully, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about Feng Wan taking down Jingkou so easily.

"There is no movement of the Wu army, General Hu Hai has already captured the first outer wall of Jiankang City, and from last night to the early morning of this morning, he has attacked Jiankang overnight, and has almost broken the inner city several times. According to Hu Dudu's prediction, the inner city of Jiankang can definitely be attacked by this evening. By tomorrow morning at the latest, the imperial city will also be breached, and Jiankang City will be completely captured. The herald said earnestly.

Hearing this good news, Chen Kefu's brows tightened tighter, and he had been tested by war for a long time, and he had already vaguely smelled a very bad smell. This is a kind of induction, a subtle induction, a kind of premonition of a general.

Stretching out his hand to let the guards spread out the map, Chen Kefu carefully looked at the map for a while, and asked for a few specific troop numbers. Gradually, his face became more and more sinking, and after Jingkou was captured, Chen Feng transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangdu City to the south. Up to now, there are 70,000 Chen troops in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are less than 10,000 horses left in the line of Anhui and Jiangsu in the north of the Yangtze River, among which Jiangducheng, the first important town in Huainan, is only 5,000 men and horses left at this time. Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, has only 2,000 people. Da Chen's Yangtze River defense line was empty, as if it were a non-existent one.

And Chen Jun's grasp of the Wu army, now only knows that Jian'an, the gateway to Jiangdong retreating into Lingnan, has been recaptured by the Wu army. According to the information obtained by the Secret Service Division, the Wu army only left 50,000 horses in Jiangxia, and the remaining 300,000 troops had all returned to Jiangdong. According to intelligence predictions, the main force of the Wu army should have rushed to the city of Jiankang in the middle of the night yesterday. But now, as many as 300,000 horses have retreated into Jiangdong, but there is no trace.

Wu Jun did not come to relieve the siege of Jiankang immediately, but disappeared without movement, which made Chen Kefu very uneasy.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon, and he feels that Shen Luoyan must have set up a huge conspiracy waiting for Hu Hai and them.

After pondering for a while, Chen Kefu raised his head and asked the messenger, "Do you know the current arrangement of our army's soldiers and horses?" Did the 70,000 horses attack all of them to build Kangcheng, or did they send men and horses to defend the quarry and Jingkou? ”

"Hu Du led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiankang City, and sent General Xu Shiji to lead 3,000 people to guard the quarry. In the morning, General Chen Feng led 20,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Yangtze River, leaving 10,000 horses to guard Jingkou, and the remaining 10,000 horses rushed to Jiankang to participate in the siege. The two governors, Feng Wan and Feng An, led 20,000 wolf soldiers to turn south, preparing to sweep the four counties of Wu County, Biling, Yuhang, and Xuancheng to find the location of Wu soldiers and horses. ”…,

"It's over." Chen Kefu slapped his head and let out a long sigh.

Wu Jun did not move for a long time, and the abnormal reaction already showed that Wu Jun was brewing a conspiracy. And now that the Chen army in the entire Jiangbei has been transferred to Jiangnan, at this time, they did not join forces to quickly capture Jiankang, but went to sweep the four counties. What's even more hateful is that the two important fortresses of Quarry and Jingkou, they actually left 3,000 on one side and 10,000 on the other. Now Chen Kefu already vaguely knew in his heart what conspiracy Shen Luoyan was preparing.

Wu Jun was also beaten by Hu Hai's chaotic punches, and he was extremely passive when he saw that he was one step too late. actually couldn't help but didn't immediately rescue Jiankang City, but gathered troops and horses to prepare for the opportunity.

Shen Luoyan's purpose was already very clear, to first attract all the soldiers and horses of Chen Jun's Jiangbei to cross the river. What followed was definitely a fierce attack. Chen Kefu believes that Shen Luoyan must not hit Jiankang first, but must be the two major ferries of Quarry and Jingkou. As long as the Wu army suddenly kills and does not save Jiankang first, but instead hits Quarry and Jingkou first, the Chen army, which has only 13,000 defenders on both sides, will definitely not be able to block the attack of 300,000 Wu troops.

As long as the quarrying and Jingkou sides fall, the Chen army will immediately lose the two major ferry passages back to Jiangbei. With the two fortresses of Quarry and Jingkou in hand, and with sufficient troops, they can completely block Chen's army in Jiangnan at that time. At that time, even if Chen Jun captures Jiankang, what can he do? Alone, Chen's army couldn't come up with reinforcements for a while, and to the south and west of Jiankang, it must have been blocked by the Wu army.

When the time comes, the door will be closed and the dogs will be beaten, and the 300,000 Wu army will fight the 70,000 Chen army, which will be troublesome. And in case if the Chen army has not even taken Jiankang when the Wu army attacked, then the trapped soldiers would be under the fortified city at that time, and there would be no need to fight, and the Wu army would be able to starve to death of the 70,000 Chen troops just by besieging them.

Once the 70,000 Chen army is defeated, the entire Huainan will have been stripped naked and placed in front of the Wu army. It is not even impossible for the Wu army to counterattack, go north to the Central Plains, and send troops to Shandong. (To be continued.)
