Chapter 544: Wind and Rain Descend on Dragon Continent

Xu Gaoju said with some disbelief: "Father said that it was a joke, at this time, it was pouring rain while playing chess on the river, and the terrain was very complicated, it was basically impossible for Qin Qiong to attack us at this time." Why should my father worry about the sky? The child believes that the most critical place in this battle is not on our side, but on Your Majesty's side, as long as Your Majesty can block Li Xin's attack and delay it until winter, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are mostly from Guanzhong, and it is not suitable for the winter in the south, and he will definitely retreat. ”

"If that's what you say, then I'm relieved." Xu Xuanche shook his head and suddenly said: "Recently, when my father went to Jiangling, there were many rumors in the army that Zhang Xiu had surrendered to Li Xin. ”

"Zhang Xiu has 60,000 soldiers and horses, in order to resist Li Xin's first line of defense, if he surrenders Li Xin, then I am afraid that the entire defense line will be broken by Li Xin." Xu Gaoju was stunned for a moment, and said nervously: "What kind of measures is the emperor going to take?" ”

"What else, don't forget. How did Dong Jingzhen die. Xu Xuanche said disdainfully: "For him, as long as he is a little suspicious, there will be no good end." Hey, Dong Jingzhen is like this, Zhang Xiu is like this, isn't your father the same? For so many years, my father has always been cautious, ignoring the battle between the DPRK and China, and leading the army to sit in Longzhou, saying that it was to guard against Qin Qiong, but in fact, I just didn't want him to doubt me. Hehe, King Yan, this in itself is a title to be feared. It's not as good as Guanzhong, I heard that Li Xin visited Li Jing thousands of miles in the snowy night before the year, so that Li Jing went out of the mountain to help, and Li Jing trusted each other, it was Guanzhong Shuangbi, Li Jing and Li Xin were also teachers and friends, and the red whisk girl entered and exited the palace like her own house, this is the case, Li Jing is only a county prince now, even if Li Xin becomes the emperor in the future, Li Jing is just a prince of the country, and he will definitely not be crowned king. This is the way of the whole monarch. Li Xin compared to today. Hey! ”

Xu Xuanche didn't continue, but the meaning of his words was very clear, Xu Gaoju also had complicated eyes, he didn't expect Xu Xuanche to respect Li Xin so much, and couldn't help but say: "In this case, why doesn't my father return to Shunguanzhong?" Xu Gao's face showed a hint of hesitation.

Xu Xuanche was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at his son, and sighed: "Although Xiao Mo is narrow-minded, in the end, I am a courtier and I am kind to me. If I return to Guanzhong, what will others say about me in the future? ”

When Xu Gaoju was about to say more, Xu Xuanche stopped the other party and said: "Besides, the world is undecided, no one knows who will have the last laugh in the end, you don't know, I don't know, even Li Xin himself doesn't know, it's better to surrender in the future than to surrender now." I will not surrender unless I have to. Okay, let the pro-soldiers prepare! ”

"Where is Father going at this time?" Xu Gaoju asked curiously.

"I'm going to patrol the island." Xu Xuanche sighed: "I don't know why, I'm very unstable in my heart. I always feel like something bad will happen, and I'm ready to go to Ma Yangzhou in front of me to have a look. "The sandbar is huge, from west to east, and is divided into two parts, Ma Yang Chau and Lung Chau. There are some fishermen living on it, and of course there are more than 10,000 soldiers of Xu Xuanche.

"I'll go with my father." Xu Gaoju said with a smile: "According to me, my father is really worried. How could there be an enemy to surprise at this time? Could it be a water bandit? ”

"You know what, it's not wrong to be careful." Xu Xuanche glared at his son, he sighed in his heart, it was right to take his son with him, look at Zhang Jin and the others, what they have become now, they are simply a gentleman, Xu Gaoju may be a little worse in marching and fighting, but it is definitely much better than those gentlemen.

At the moment, the father and son led hundreds of elites from Longzhou, towards the west of Mayangzhou, the sandbar is the sandbank, basically a horse Pingchuan, although it is a rainy day, but everyone did not take the rainstorm to heart, and as time goes by, the rain is getting smaller and smaller, from the rainstorm to the drizzle.

"Father, after this rain, the weather will be colder, and the Guanzhong army should not attack." Xu Gao looked at the sky and said with some excitement.

"That maybe, the Tang King in Guanzhong is not an ordinary character, I heard that his biggest enemy is Li Shimin of the Northern Great Zhao, Li Shimin is attacking Dou Jiande, both of them are fighting for time, in this case, the Tang King may not attack us in winter." Xu Xuanche saw it very clearly, shook his head and said.

"Hey, the unlucky ones in this battle are ordinary people!" Xu Gao glanced at the soldiers around him, although he claimed to be more than 10,000 people on his side, but the real elite were only more than 1,000 people who followed Xu Xuanche's rebellion back then, and the rest of the people were also recruits, although some participated in the training, but they were not elite, and some were even just captured in the army, so they could not be regarded as soldiers at all. Relying on such an army to fight the elite of Guanzhong, the probability of victory is still very low.

Half an hour later, the father and son came to Ma Yangzhou at the west end of the sandbank, and the general of his own Lang greeted him, standing on the top of the arrow tower, Xu Xuanche looked into the distance, the river was pitch black, this was the darkness before dawn, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but Xu Xuanche gave a sigh of relief. When the father and son arrived in Mayangzhou just now, the rain had stopped, and they didn't know what kind of weather it would be tomorrow, but as long as tonight was over, Xu Xuan's heart would be much more stable. It is not uncommon to take advantage of the rain to raid.

"Father, I don't think Qin Qiong will raid at this time." Xu Gao looked into the distance and said.

"Don't say it too early, it's raining tonight, and after dawn, it must be foggy, and the enemy may also raid Ma Yangzhou at this time." Although Xu Xuanche must have concluded this matter in his heart, he still didn't worry about telling General Lang and said: "When it is dawn tomorrow, immediately send someone to inspect the sandbar in front of you to see the situation on the sandbank." ”

"Yes." Lang Jiang replied with some disapproval. In his opinion, it is basically impossible to be attacked by the enemy, Xu Xuanche is just cowardly, but he has a life on the peak, and he has no choice.

After the father and son made an inspection, when it was dawn, they found that the mist had risen on the river, and the father and son breathed a sigh of relief, and led their own personal army to leave Mayangzhou.

Walking only for tea time, suddenly I heard a faint sound of shouting and killing in the sky, Xu Xuanche looked back, but saw countless fires flickering in Ma Yangzhou, and he could even hear the shouting of killing getting louder and louder.

"Not good, enemy attack." Xu Xuanche suddenly thought of something, and was about to turn around and rush towards Ma Yangzhou to direct the battle, but Xu Gao held the reins of the horse.

"Father, there are few people in Mayangzhou, a sudden attack must not be able to organize an effective defense, and the fall is a matter of time, my father should immediately return to Longzhou at this time, command the battle, and then send someone to report to Jiangling. Let the emperor send troops to help. Xu Gaoju said loudly.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for my son, I would have almost missed a big thing." Xu Xuanche only woke up at this time, at this time, he went to Mayangzhou at this time and couldn't change anything at all, and even put himself in, it was better to return to Longzhou now, order the soldiers and horses, meet the comers, and order people to tell Jiangling to send reinforcements to eliminate Qin Qiong together.

"Let's go." Xu Gaoju didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly escorted Xu Xuanche with the personal soldiers around him to kill Longzhou, and behind them, the shouting of killing gradually increased, and gradually weakened, only in the mist, the fire rose to the sky, burning all the evils.

"Quick, send someone to Gangneung." When he arrived in Longzhou, Xu Xuanche wrote a letter asking for help, asking them to hurry to Jiangling to report the news of Qin Qiong's eastward advance, but the letter had just been handed over to the hands of his own soldiers, and suddenly saw the southeast corner of the fire rising into the sky, and suddenly sat on the ground.

"It's over, it's over."

Xu Xuanche's face was pale, what is the southeast corner, where Xu Xuanche's sailors are, a hundred warships are placed there, he is preparing to let people cross the river from that place to Jiangling, once things are wrong on his side, he can still lead the remnants of the army to take the road from there, now it is good, the enemy first burned the warship, so that he has no way out, that is, he can't even send letters, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day on the top of his head, I don't know what to do.

"Father, Qin Qiong led the army to kill me." Outside the door, Xu Gaoju also said in a panic.

"What a Qin Qiong, first cut off my back road, and now he came to the door again, it's really hateful." Xu Xuanche stood up violently, pushed away his own soldiers, and said loudly: "Prepare for battle." Now that his back road has been broken, Xu Xuanche has no other choice in the face of a decisive battle or surrender, and at this time, it is basically impossible to swim across the river.

Qin Qiong looked at Longzhou in front of him, Longzhou cannot be regarded as a city, it can only be regarded as a dock fort, a small town, the only difference is that there is a military camp built outside, stretching endlessly, with more than 10,000 people. Qin Qiong looked at his side, there were more than 10,000 people, but after a night of fighting, the soldiers were exhausted, and the reason why they hadn't stepped down now was also because of military discipline.

However, Qin Mu had already set fire to Xu Xuanche's sailor, which was also good news, at least it was almost impossible for Xu Xuanche to escape now. With the backing of the water master, he occupies most of the sandbar, and there is absolutely no problem with the grain and grass, how long can Xu Xuanche support it!

"Pass the order, set up a big camp, some of the soldiers are on guard, some of the soldiers have a good rest, if you can't make it, there will be a big battle!" Qin Qiong's heart was much more relaxed, and only a night's struggle could be exchanged for today's ease, otherwise, if it was a normal attack, not only would Jiangling know the news of his attack at this time, but the resistance along the way would also cause him to lose a lot of soldiers and horses.
