The ferry broke through the river and slowly moved towards the opposite shore, seeing that it was about to reach the shore.

Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the opposite bank that blocked the view like a city wall, Liu Wei said to Lu Bu behind him: "When you arrive outside Huainan City, Feng Xianke orders the soldiers to build catapults and bombard the city wall!" ”

"In the area of Xiangling, there may be a lot of things in short supply, I'm afraid there will be no shortage of stones!" The ferry boat came to the shore, Liu Wei jumped on the river bank, turned his head and said to Lu Bu, who jumped to the shore with him: "Once the Huainan army goes out of the city, they will attack them head-on and stop them in the city!" ”

"What Your Highness said earlier about besieging the city and beating the border......?" Liu Wei asked Lu Bu to trap Shouchun to death, and then said that he would lead the army to guard the exit of Shouchun, and Lu Bu asked him a little puzzled: "How to deal with it?" ”

"Besiege the city and fight the border, and leave it to Yulin and Huben Erwei to do it!" Smiling at Lu Bu, Liu Wei said to him: "Capture Shouchun City, obtain Yuan Shu's head, Feng Xian is the first to get the first credit!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Wei said that he would get the first credit, and Lu Bu hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed in response.

One by one, the ferries approached the shore, and the soldiers of the Qin army jumped off the ferry.

Tai Shi Ci had already led the soldiers to the shore, and the Qin army wearing red robes climbed up to the river bank and lined up on the bank.

Leading Lu Bu and a group of soldiers, Liu Wei also climbed towards the shore.

Landing on the riverbank, his eyes suddenly brightened.

On the bank of the Huai River, there are patches of flat land with lush vegetation, and in the distance is the lush Xiangling Tomb.

Looking into the distance, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed forward, and shouted to the soldiers of the Qin army who climbed the river bank: "Soldiers, the front is Shouchun, I have endured for several months, and now we are finally under the city of Shouchun!" ”

"Roar!" The soldiers of the Qin army, who had already landed on the river bank, raised their blades one after another and let out a roar.

Since Liu Wei mentioned that he wanted to crusade against Huainan, it has indeed been a long time since now, and after living in an environment without war for too long, the soldiers of the Qin army have long been holding back their strength, and they are only looking forward to rushing to Shouchun City as soon as possible to fight with the Huainan army.

More and more Qin troops landed on the riverbank, and many soldiers went up to the riverbank, looking into the distance, with excitement on their faces that could not be concealed.

At the same time that the Qin army landed on the shore, at the gate of Shouchun City, groups of Huainan troops were lining up in a long line, slowly marching towards the city.

As Chen Gong expected, as soon as Zhang Xun died, Yuan Shu personally incorporated this army of 100,000 people and ordered the whole army to enter Shouchun.

At the gate of Shouchun City, Ji Ling rode on a tall horse, waved his hand at the Huainan army entering the city, and shouted one or two voices from time to time: "Quick!" All speed up! ”

Under the urging of Ji Ling, the pace of the Huainan army entering the city accelerated a lot, and the team like a long dragon entered the city, along the bluestone road, and quickly walked towards the military camp in the city.

In Shouchun City, in the palace of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu sat on top of the main hall, and on both sides of the main hall sat his civil and military ministers.

"Your Majesty!" Glancing at everyone in the hall, Liu Xun stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Yuan Shu and said: "The last general has received a military report, and the prince of Qin has led a large army, which has already crossed the Huaishui and is rushing towards Shouchun!" ”

"How long will it take for the army outside the city to fully enter the city?" Hearing that Liu Weizheng was leading the Qin army to Shouchun, Yuan Shu's first reaction was not to send troops to intercept it, but to ask how long it would take for the army outside the city to enter the city.

Stunned by Yuan Shu's question, Liu Xuncai took over the conversation and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is advancing towards Shouchun, and Your Majesty should send troops to meet the enemy!" If all the troops entered the city, how could Shouchun accommodate so many soldiers and horses? ”

Liu Xun mentioned again that he should lead the army to meet the Qin army, Yuan Shu's brows furrowed slightly, his eyes stared at him without blinking, and asked, "In your opinion, where should you meet the Qin army?" ”

"Muddy water!" Yuan Shu asked where to fight against the Qin army, and Liu Xun said without thinking about it: "Although the river is not wide, it is still difficult for the army to cross the river!" At present, the Qin army Yu Linwei is also north of the river, our army only needs to hold the south bank, and the Qin army will definitely be intercepted on the north bank! ”

staring at Liu Xun without blinking, Yuan Shuzhi looked at Liu Xun with horror.

"In the general's opinion, how many soldiers and horses must I send to intercept the Qin army on the north bank of the river?" After staring at Liu Xun for a long time, Yuan Yan asked him again in a cold tone.

From Yuan Shu's tone, Liu Xun heard the meaning of not being good, and quickly closed his mouth and didn't dare to speak!

"Someone!" Casting a cold gaze at Liu Xun, Yuan Shu shouted coldly outside the hall.

A temple guard strode into the hall and stood at the door with his fists folded, waiting for Yuan Shu to give his order.

"Spread the word!" Glancing at the palace guard, Yuan Shu said to him: "Let Ji Ling urge the army to enter the city quickly, and before the Qin army arrives, be sure to close the city gates!" ”

The guard answered, and turned to leave.

Looking at the departing guards, Liu Xun did not speak, but his face showed a sense of disappointment.

Although the Huaishui is not very wide, it is not very easy to swim through the Huaishui.

If the Huainan army could grasp the situation of the battle and set up defenses along the Huai River before the Qin army crossed the Huai River, the Qin army would definitely suffer great casualties when crossing the river.

The opportunity to defend against Huaishui has been lost, and the water can also be used as the last barrier.

Although the river is shallower and narrower, the large army crossing the river will be crowded and crowded, which is not conducive to the overall control of the operation.

Once the Huainan Army sets up an array on the bank of the Huaishui, even if the Qin army Yulinwei takes the opportunity to cross the river first, the Huainan Army, which occupies the advantage of troops, will be able to push Yulinwei into the river, and the battle of Huainan is still difficult to determine the success or failure.

But Yuan Shu was frightened by the Qin army, and he didn't dare to send troops and horses to meet Liu Wei at all, but blindly strengthened the defense of Shouchun City.

Although Shouchun is a big city, the grain and grass reserves in the city are not small, but the city is besieged, there is no strong reinforcement outside, the Qin army only needs to defend the city gates, as long as the Huainan army goes out of the city, you can come to catch turtles in an urn.

The main force of the Qin army was crossing the Huaishui, and the Huainan army outside the gate of Shouchun City also accelerated the pace of entering the city.

It's as if the two sides are playing a game, and they can complete the overall deployment faster than the other.

On the north bank of the river, in the military camp of Yu Linwei, Chen Gong stood on the bank of the river, looking at the other side, and was speechless for a long time.

"What is the gentleman thinking?" Just as he was looking at the north side of the riverbank, a voice came from behind Chen Gong.

Hearing someone talking to him, Chen Gong turned around and glanced at the people who came over, arched his fists and said with a smile: "I am thinking about it, Yuan Shu has all the soldiers and horses in the city, whether there is a future!" ”

"What's wrong?" It was not someone else who came over, it was Gao Shun, the main general of the Yulin Guard, who heard Chen Gong say that he was thinking about whether Yuan Shu had a future, Gao Shun asked him: "The Huainan Army has no strong reinforcements at the moment, what are they going to do?" ”

Turning his head to look at the north bank, Chen Gong shook his head and said to Gao Shun: "What the general said is true, it has been several months since His Highness proposed to crusade against Huainan, and Yuan Shu will not be without any plans in the past few months!" I don't know what kind of deployment he made! ”

When Chen Gong said this, Gao Shun pondered for a moment, frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and asked Chen Gong: "If the Huainan Army is deployed, how will it be deployed?" ”

Shaking his head, Chen Gong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Standing on the shore of the river, the two of them were silent for a long time, Chen Gong's eyes suddenly opened, turned his head to look at Gao Shun and said, "Not good!" The Huainan army resolutely dug a road in the area of Xiangling, and once our army besieged the city, the Huainan army poured out from all sides! ”

Hearing Chen Gong's words, Gao Shun was also stunned, and hurriedly said to Chen Gong: "If the Huainan Army really has a future, the mountains and rivers around Xiangling are connected, and they kill from behind our army, and our army will be unable to guard against it!" ”、

"Annoying General, quickly present this matter to His Highness!" Thinking of what Yuan Shu might do, Chen Gong hurriedly said to Gao Shun: "I beg Your Highness, don't arrange all the main forces outside Shouchun City!" ”

"Good!" Knowing that the matter was very important, Gao Shun did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly responded and said to a personal soldier who followed behind him: "You should have heard everything that Mr. said. Hurry up and go to the shore of Huaishui and present this matter to Your Highness! ”

"No!" The soldiers received the order, turned around and ran quickly towards the barracks.

After a while, a fast horse left the Yulin Guard barracks, rolled up a cloud of smoke and dust, and ran towards the shore of Huaishui.

On the shore of Huaishui, Liu Wei stood in front of the Qin army in formation, and behind him, stood the heavily armed Lu Bu and Tai Shici.

From the faces of Liu Wei and the generals behind him and the soldiers of the Qin army, a trace of excitement that could not be concealed could be seen.

The army had crossed the Huaishui, and Yuan Shu had taken all the Huainan troops back into the city.

As long as Liu Wei led the Qin army and surrounded Shouchun City, even if he did not attack Shouchun, within two or three months, Shouchun would definitely be short of food and difficult to maintain.

"March!" Riding on horseback, Liu Wei drew the long sword at his waist, pointed forward, and gave the order to the Qin army behind him to set off.

One of the soldiers standing behind him heard his shout, and hurriedly waved the small flag in his hand and sent the order to the whole army to advance.

Liu Wei's voice could not reach the ears of the whole army, but the small flag waved by his own soldiers behind him fell into the sight of all the Qin troops.

Liu Wei rode forward, followed by Lu Bu and other generals, followed by the Qin cavalry in a neat formation.

When the cavalry of the Qin army advanced, the heads of all the war horses remained almost the same, and the knights on all the horses did not even have the slightest difference in the frequency of their body shaking.

As soon as the cavalry drove out, the heavy infantry, which had already lined up in line, took a step and followed behind the cavalry, thinking about the march of Shouchun City.

The infantry's leather boots stepped on the ground, and each step they made would stir up a cloud of smoke.

The smoke and dust in the sky rolled up, and looking at the Qin army's large array from a distance, it was impossible to tell how many soldiers and horses were marching towards Shouchun, and he could only feel that it was a powerful force that was enough to devour everything!
