Two days later, the Gyeongju government recruited a convoy of 30,000 people to form a convoy and set off.

After the Gyeongju government collected all the boats, all the boats went down the river empty.

This move made all the forces unable to guess the reason, the grain, straw, ordnance and firearms all set off with the convoy, why did the empty ships go straight to Gangneung along the river? Isn't this sending a boat to Jing Nan for nothing?

All forces have speculated, guessing the fire attack, guessing the secret crossing of Chen Chen's .......

But they all scoffed at Gyeongju's stinky move.

Coincidentally, just when all the forces were not optimistic about Gyeongju's move, the same faint occurred in Gangneung, and Gao Congzhi began to order the collection of all ships in the three states of Jingnan after Gyeongju.

Guizhou Assassin Shi Baili Yuanwang immediately ordered his general to lead 5,000 troops to launch a defensive position to Chudi, and he led 5,000 people to join the Black Flag Army and march in the direction of Jingnan.

That night, the soldiers camped 80 miles away from Jiangling Mansion and confronted the 30,000 troops led by Gao Baorong.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

For more than ten days, the news spread from Gangneung Mansion to various places, and when Baili Yuanwang and the Black Flag soldiers confronted the Nanping Army outside Gangneung Mansion, all feudal towns were reported. Smell each has its own reaction.

Emperor Shi Jingtang of the Jin Dynasty issued an edict ordering both sides of the Nanping Kingdom to make peace and withdraw troops, and ordered his generals to lead 20,000 troops to the south to launch a defensive posture.

Emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty sat back and watched the changes on his face, and secretly ordered the army to assemble to the west.

The emperor of Shu, Meng Chang, ordered the general to lead 30,000 troops to strengthen the defense of each state, and sent a secret envoy to the Qingzhou Mansion to inquire about the situation.

And Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, was nervous because he was exterminating the barbarians, and he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he still sent 10,000 forbidden troops to Yuezhou to defend northward.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

It was the end of the year, and all the forces were waiting for the outbreak of war while preparing for the New Year.

Everyone wants to take advantage of the civil strife in Nanping to get a piece of the pie, and no one wants Nanping to be destroyed, once Nanping is destroyed, there will be no buffer space between each other, and it is not beneficial to all parties.

The land of Shenzhou, the undercurrent is surging, and the whole body is affected, and a big war seems to be just around the corner.

A day later, under the careful watchful eye of all parties.

The Gyeongju Army began to attack.

When the Gyeongju army advanced twenty miles forward, and the distance between it and the Nanpyeong army was only ten miles, a strange thing happened, the Nanpyeong army retreated without a fight, and the Gyeongju army immediately continued to advance.

In the evening, the Nanpyeong army retreated to Gangneung City, and the Gyeongju army chased after them and set up camp ten miles outside Gangneung City.

The feudal towns everywhere were shocked, and they all shouted that they couldn't understand it.

In the early morning of the next day, the Nanping army launched a general attack, the offensive was very peculiar, the Gyeongju army was unsheltered and defenseless, and the whole army marched to the north gate of Gangneung in four columns, as if Gangneung City was its own backyard. And Gangneung City didn't fire a single arrow, let it get close, and even the guards on the city wall didn't fire an arrow.

Just when everyone couldn't understand it, something even stranger happened.

As soon as the Gyeongju army arrived at the city gate, the Gangneung defenders actually opened the west gate and let the Gyeongju army enter.

Half a day later, when the Gyeongju army went out from the south gate of Gangneung City in three ways, it suddenly dawned on me that the Gyeongju army was hiding people's eyes and ears and crossing the sea from the sky, with the intention of attacking Chu.

December 18 of the fourth year of Jin Tianfu.

The Gyeongju Black Flag Army came out of the East Gate and divided into three routes.

According to the plan, the right road was commanded by Yu Cunzhong, supplemented by Baili Yi, with 13,500 men and a wheel artillery battalion from Lizhou-Langzhou-Yiyang to attack the west gate of Tanzhou (now Changsha).

The left route was personally led by Baili Wuji, supplemented by Xiong Jiben, who had just been promoted to command, and had jurisdiction over 18,000 people and two wheel artillery battalions from Yuezhou to the south to Tanzhou.

In the middle of the road, with Yunyang as the commander and Bailikang as the auxiliary jurisdiction of the 13,500 people in the three compartments and all the special warfare capitals, they took the boats collected by Gyeongju and Nanping, crossed Dongting Lake and landed, and then went south along the Xiangshui River to Tanzhou. The main purpose of this road is that Yun Yang feints with three van forces to attract the attention of the Chu army, cover Bailikang with the special warfare capital and the black flag army from Yutan-Xiangxiang to Jianning west of Liling, cut off the reinforcements of the Jingjiang Jiedu envoy of the Chu State and block the southward escape of Ma Xifan, the king of Chu in Tanzhou.

The three-way army, with the Baili Wuji Department as the main force, supplemented by the Cunzhong Department, the Yunyang Department should be the reserve team, and the Baili Kang Department is the surprise soldier.

The real is the virtual, and the virtual is the real.

In case of change, the Cunzhong Department will converge with the Yunyang Department in Yutan and become the main force, and the Baili Wuji Department will be the auxiliary.

In the battle to destroy Chu, the key to success or failure lies in capturing or killing Ma Xifan alive, once Ma Xifan escapes successfully, the war will become protracted and become a chicken rib.

Therefore, in Gangneung City, Baili Wuji only said one word when he met with the generals with the injuries that had not healed - fast.

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

In this battle to destroy Chu, in fact, it can also be said to be a battle of surprise attacks, only fast and not broken.

……。

Two days later, the first battle of the Battle of Chu was fought in Lizhou.

Lizhou had just been harassed by Peng Shichou's brute army, and there were not many defenders in the city.

When the Black Flag Army striker appeared outside the city of Lizhou.

Liu Yan did not hesitate and surrendered the city directly.

Yu Cunzhong ordered to settle down a little, and then directly sent troops to Langzhou.

At this time, Zhonglu Yunyang was organizing and arranging the crossing of Dongting Lake.

And the army on the left led by Baili Wuji has already entered Yuezhou City for thirty miles.

There were 10,000 garrisons in the city of Yuezhou.

A normal state capital usually has 3,000 to 5,000 troops.

Yuezhou is different, in the early years, it often grabbed land with Jingnan and was adjacent to Jingnan, so the king of Chu appointed Pan Shuhei as the training envoy of the Yuezhou regiment, and governed 10,000 troops stationed in Yuezhou.

A few days ago, because he was worried that Gyeongju and Nanping would be at odds with each other, the king of Chu sent Zhou Xingfeng to lead 10,000 forbidden troops to Yuezhou to strengthen the defense.

In the city of Yuezhou, the state of Chu amassed 20,000 soldiers.

Although the planned policy of the whole war is "fast".

But for the left side of Baili Wuji, the speed is the most difficult to grasp.

If the 18,000 people under the jurisdiction of Baili Wuji quickly defeat the 20,000 defenders of Chu and occupy Yuezhou, then it is very likely that Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, will abandon Tanzhou and flee south, and Yunyang and Bailikang's troops are now swimming across Dongting Lake, and they will not be able to stop Ma Xifan from fleeing south, which is by no means what Baili Wuji wants to see.

In Baili Wuji's mind, the most ideal strategic layout is that the army of the Left and Central Second Route will advance to the line of Yiyang and Pingjiang at the same time, echoing from afar, forming a semi-encirclement posture of Tanzhou, so as to respond to the fact that Bailikang's troops can smoothly march to Jianning, which is on the front line of Xiangxiang and Liling, to lurk in order to block the enemy who is advancing north and fleeing south. Forced the king of Chu, Ma Xi Fan, to fight a decisive battle with the Black Flag Army with the advantage of the high walls of Tanzhou City.

Therefore, Baili Wuji chose to wait. This time, however, the wait almost brought the army on the left to a rout.

Camp thirty miles outside the city of Yuezhou to rest for a day, attack the city at three o'clock tomorrow, and order the scouts to go out ten miles before the guard. One day, it should be enough for the Cunzhong Department to advance to the outside of Langzhou City, and the Yunyang Department should also be able to complete the crossing of the lake.
