The rebels considered that the Northern Expeditionary Army must be exhausted from afar, so they decided to secretly assemble men and horses, and after dark, launch a surprise attack on the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so as to defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army from afar in one fell swoop.

In order to paralyze the Northern Expeditionary Army and achieve the suddenness of the sneak attack, the 30,000 main forces of the rebels were all ambushed in the deep mountains on the left and right sides of Jiaozhi City, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city to create the illusion of insufficient troops.

The scouts sent by the Northern Expeditionary Army, dressed as woodcutters, blended into the city of Jiaozhi very smoothly, and these scouts walked around the city, knowing the strength and deployment of the rebels in the city clearly, and then immediately left the city and reported the situation to their superiors.

At dusk, the 30,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army finished their dinner early, and Hua An and a group of generals gathered on a hill next to the camp, looked in the direction of Jiaozhi City, and analyzed the strategy of the attack.

Due to the high mountains and dense forests near Jiaozhi City, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army all have different opinions on how to attack, some build yì to attack immediately, and some build yì to confront each other first, and then attack after finding out the situation, there are also different opinions on the way to attack, some build yì seize the fighter plane, set up a ladder to attack quickly, and some build yì to build a large siege vehicle and thunderbolt car before attacking.

Hua An listened carefully to the different opinions of the generals, and then analyzed them carefully, and decided to wait for the scouts to find out the situation before discussing the offensive plan with the generals.

Looking at the dense woods around the camp, Hua'an couldn't help but sigh, Jiaozhi County is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, before the Qin Dynasty, it was still the world of the Baiyue people, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he sent 500,000 troops to cross Lingnan, conquered the barbarian people here, and set up Guilin County, Nanhai County and Xiang County, and now Jiaozhi County belongs to the Xiang County of the Qin Dynasty, and it is also Vietnam in later generations.

"Big brother, my Great Jin Emperor is gracious, and his grace is all over the world, but the Nanyue people have a good life, why do you want to rebel?" Thunderstorm looked in the direction of Cochin City, and seemed to be a little puzzled.

"Yes! As soon as the war starts, there will be rivers of blood, and the common people will suffer the most. Wang San followed.

Hua An naturally thought about this problem, the border barbarian rebellion, there are only a few reasons, one may be the oppression of the court officials, so that the barbarians dare not bear it, so that it rises up. Another possibility is that there are foreign forces that provoke and promise a lot of benefits to lure the barbarian high-level. Of course, there is another reason, that is, this nation has produced an ambitious, eloquent and heroic figure, who intends to get rid of the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty and achieve national independence, and then press step by step, encroach on the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and establish a large empire with a wide territory.

For these three possibilities, Hua An made an analysis one by one, first of all, the first one cannot be said to be no, but it will certainly not be very strict, the Great Jin Dynasty is facing a huge military threat from the northern Zhao State, and attaches great importance to the stability of the Jiaoguang area, and will definitely not wantonly loot the people of the Nanyue nationality, so as to force them to rebel and set a fire to their own backyard, this possibility can basically be ruled out.

The second possibility is that it has suffered the lure of foreign forces, this possibility is the largest, the west of Jiaoguang Erzhou is the territory of Shu, now, the 30,000 army of Shu is gathering Xinggu County, and it is possible to move eastward at any time to reinforce the Nanyue rebels, the survival of the 30,000 army of Shu seems to prove that the rebellion of the Nanyue tribe is lured by them, and the Shu State is located in the west, and its strength is weaker than that of the Great Jin, and it is facing the threat of invasion of the Jingzhou Army of the Great Jin Dynasty at any time, in order to disperse the strategic pressure, It is also easy to understand that there are some small actions in the two states of Jiaoguang in Dajin.

As for the third reason, it is Hua'an who is most worried, if the Nanyue people really have an ambitious and outstanding leader, then the southern Xinjiang of the Great Jin Dynasty will never be peaceful, so that the Great Jin Dynasty will face threats from three sides, and the south, north, and west directions are unstable, so that the strategic environment of the Great Jin Dynasty will become extremely bad, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will have worries.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you." Jiang Huaan didn't speak, Wang San asked with concern.

"Oh!" Hua An replied and replied: "The rebellion of the Nanyue clan must be provoked by traitors, otherwise these barbarians would not have the courage to challenge the Great Jin Tianwei at all. ”

"Adulterer, which adulterer?" Thunderstorm hurriedly asked.

Hua An stretched out his hand and pointed to the west, and said: "Shu has 30,000 troops in Xinggu County, the intention is unknown, if my expectations are correct, they are going east to reinforce the rebels, so the rebellion of the Nanyue clan must be related to Shu." ”

"The courage of the monarchs and ministers of Shu is too great, and they will destroy him sooner or later." The thunderstorm roared violently.

"Destroy the Shu Kingdom, haha! Let's think about how to capture Cochin City first! Hua An patted Thunderstorm's shoulder and smiled, it is not too difficult to destroy the Shu Kingdom, but it is not an overnight thing.

"General, the scouts have returned to the camp." The pro-barracks camp owner said and walked to Hua An's side.

When Hua An heard this, he turned around and asked, "How is it, how much news have you found?" ”

The owner of the pro-military camp replied confidently: "General, the rebels are really a rabble, the city gate inspection is extremely lax, our army scouts pretended to be woodcutters, and mixed into the city from the east and north gates respectively, without arousing the suspicion of the rebels at all, and now the strength and deployment of the rebels in Jiaozhi City are clear, just waiting for the general to give the order to attack." ”

"Haha! All right! The rebels are really a rabble, big brother, we can just attack the city directly. ”

"That's right, Cochin City can be down in one day."

"Capture Jiaozhi City, and then wave his army to the west and destroy the Shu Kingdom."

The thunderstorm suddenly became energetic.

Hua An listened to the report of the battalion owner, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then asked: "Tell me quickly, the strength and configuration of the rebels." ”

The owner of the pro-military battalion then told the scouts about the news they had discovered, and told several people in Hua'an, and volunteered to take the lead.

When Lei Storm and Zhao Wu heard that the rebels were only more than 10,000 people, and the configuration was extremely unreasonable, it was not the configuration of defending the city at all, and they were even more eager to try, and asked Hua'an for war one after another.

And Hua'an listened to the troop configuration of Jiaozhi City, not only did he not feel a trace of excitement in his heart, but he felt weird, and he always felt that something was wrong.

On the way from Panyu City to Jiaozhi City, all the news from the front proved that there were still 40,000 rebels in Jiaozhi City, why the army arrived at the city, but there were only 10,000 horses left in the city, and the remaining 30,000 horses disappeared too quickly.
