Chapter 46: The Fall of Yuezhou

Xu Shiming pointed to the map and said: "If the Southern Tang Dynasty wants to take the opportunity to attack Chu, it must pass through Hubei and Yuan Erzhou, and Yuanzhou will encounter Zhou Xingfeng's department. The detailed report was that the army stationed in Ezhou had no movement to advance. And the Southern Han was being attacked by the three-way army of the Chu State, and it was simply impeccable to the north. If the Jin State wants to go south, it must first attack Nanping. At the moment, the situation is too confusing to be understood. And the attack of Shu is even more unreasonable, Shu and Chu are separated from Qingzhou and Nanping, and it is impossible to attack Chu in a short time, so Shu is not afraid of Chu's counterattack? ”

Baili Wuji frowned, looked at the map, and began to think about .......

It is impossible to guess that the situation has become so confusing that one thing is certain, whether there is a conspiracy or not, the party that has the greatest benefit must be the plotter.

"Sir, imagine who would be in the best interest of the current situation?"

"This ......, I have thought about it carefully, no one of them can get benefits, Shu State attacked Qingzhou Wanxian, even if it was captured, it would definitely be counterattacked by Chu State, and Shu State could be excluded. The Southern Tang Dynasty stationed a total of 50,000 troops on the border adjacent to the Chu State, and there was still no movement at this time, that is, to attack Chu immediately, not to mention whether he could immediately defeat the forbidden army of the rebellion, or to immediately attack Tanzhou, Tanzhou's fortified city plus the six thousand special combat box soldiers of the lord, at least be able to block it for a period of time, during this time, he was not afraid of the forbidden army on all sides to attack back? In this way, Nantang can be excluded. The Southern Han Dynasty itself was in a precarious situation, and it could naturally be ruled out. There is no other power adjacent to the state of Chu, except for ....... ”

When Baili Wuji heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, and he said loudly: "Nanping! ”

The two looked at each other in amazement......

Gao Congxu died early, and Gao Baoxun died one after another.

"Sir, there is indeed something suspicious in Nanping, but Wuji thinks that with Gao Baorong's intelligence, I am afraid that such a grand situation will not be laid out, right?"

"Lord, I am now seventy percent sure that this situation must be planned by Nanping, even if it is not a plan, it must be suspected of adding fuel to the fire. Although Gao Baorong does not have such intelligence, the lord must not forget that there is another person in Nanping who has such a big pattern ....... ”

Baili Wuji's heart jumped violently again, and this person was about to come out.

"Sun Guangxian." Baili Wuji and Xu Shiming said a name at the same time.

"It's going to be bad......." The word Baili Wuji has just been exported.

And he heard a report from outside the door.

"Yuezhou's defense envoy Pan Shusi sent an envoy to report that a day ago, 40,000 people of the Jingnan Army invaded Yuezhou."

What the? A day ago?

Baili Wuji and Xu Shiming were stunned again.

One day before attacking Yuezhou, Yuezhou except for Pan Shuhei's 9,000 army troops, there is no other army around, I am afraid that now Yuezhou has fallen.

Once Yuezhou falls, the Jingnan Army of the Fourth Army will be under the city of Tanzhou, and the scene of a hundred miles of unscrupulous annihilation of Chu will be repeated again.

Baili Wuji's heart is pounding.

"Order the special operations commander to make Bailikang immediately take over the defense of the four gates."

"Order the whole city of Tanzhou Governor Yin to be on alert."

"Quickly send a messenger to inform the army of the three routes of Zhenghan to withdraw immediately and return to help, without a moment's delay."

"Order all the three forbidden troops to return to Tanzhou. Wait, Liu Qing and Wang Kui's department don't need to be notified. Baili Wuji still has confidence in his heart, believing that with the combat power of the Black Flag Army's forbidden army, as long as Tanzhou holds on to the two forbidden armies, there should be no problem in holding Tanzhou. Sweeping and conquering the barbarians is in the foundation, and you can't give up lightly. Moreover, it has been half a month since Liu Qing and Wang Kui's troops set off, and the retreat may not be able to catch up with the .......

"Order the Gyeongju Ma Jiyun Department to hold Chung County at all costs, waiting for reinforcements from the Black Flag Army."

"Hurry to Guizhou, remind the Guizhou Assassin to take a defensive posture against Jingnan, and wait for reinforcements from the Black Flag Army." At present, Baili Wuji's heart is most worried about his parents, only 40,000 of the more than 60,000 Jingnan troops in Nanping are going south, and the rest are likely to attack west to Guizhou, and there are only 10,000 government troops ...... Guizhou. Baili Wuji prayed in his heart, hoping that his parents would be safe, and that he would be able to support himself until he went to the rescue.

But Baili Wuji knew in his heart that Tanzhou was also in danger.

All hope lies in the timely return of Liu Yan and Zhou Xingfeng to the Second Route Forbidden Army.

Chu State Tan Prefecture.

The whole city was under martial law, and all shops and stores were closed.

The streets were constantly patrolled by soldiers of the Special Operations Metropolitan Government.

The shadow of war once again loomed over the capital of Chu State, which had just been peaceful for less than a year.

December 20.

There is no suspense.

The 40,000 Jingnan army captured Yuezhou in less than two days.

Yuezhou Pan Shuji is now kneeling in front of Baili Wuji.

"The king, the minister is incompetent, the advance of the Jingnan army approached the city of Yuezhou, and coaxed the minister to come to Tanzhou to congratulate the king of Chu on his wedding. The minister's identification was not effective, the 9,000 government troops under his jurisdiction did not block the Jingnan army, Yuezhou fell, and the king was asked to punish the ministers. ”

Baili Wuji waved his hand lightly, "Pan Defense Let's get up, the disparity in strength is too great, and the Jingnan Army is a sneak attack by surprise, if you are not effective in the war, I don't know how many soldiers under Pan Defense will withdraw to Tanzhou with you." ”

"......, back to the king, less than three thousand."

"Pan Defense Envoy, you and your subordinates are temporarily under the command of Bai Likang, the commander of the special operations capital, to participate in the defense of Tanzhou City, are you willing?"

"King Xie does not investigate the grace of the ministers who lost the city, and he must do his best to assist the commander of Baili to defend the city."

"Go ahead......."

December 21.

"Report ....... 20,000 Jingnan troops and 6,000 Dingnan troops attacked Guizhou. ”

Oh my God, whatever you worry about. Baili Wuji was angry in his heart, Gao Baorong, if there is the slightest mistake in my parents, I will definitely ...... you.

No, what about Sun Shixu? He is appointed as the capital of the south, should he also be involved in this matter?

No, definitely not, it must be Gao Baorong who relieved him of his military position.

Sun Shixu, you must not live up to my .......

December 22.

King Gao Baorong of Nanping led a large army to the city of Tanzhou.

Gao Baorong was a little nervous, after all, the reputation of the Black Flag Army under Baili Wuji was as good as the sky.

But now it is already a dagger, and there is no trace of concealment.

It's not you who die.

It's me who dies.

……。

Fifty miles outside the city of Southern Han Gaozhou.

More than 40,000 Black Flag troops were stationed.

In the barracks of the Black Flag Army.

Yun Yang and Bai Li Yi are discussing the cutting off of the transportation road by the rebels.

Yun Yang and Bai Liyi agreed that with Baili Wuji sitting in Tanzhou, the truncation of the transportation road was only temporary, and the supplies carried by the army were enough to support the transportation road again.

Since going south, the army has been invincible, even the four states of Xiabin, Gui, Yulin, and Dang, winning three battles and three victories.

The Jianwu army was driven all the way to Jiaozhou. Although more than 20,000 soldiers of the Jianwu Army joined forces with the more than 10,000 Ningyuan troops who retreated, this could not affect the confidence of Yunyang and Bailiyi's victory.

Tomorrow. Yes, it is tomorrow, the Black Flag Army will fight a decisive battle with the Jianwu and Ningyuan armies outside the city of Jiaozhou.

The Black Flag Army will surely win a fourth victory and completely open the road to Xingwangfu.

For a general, there is no greater glory than to expand the territory for the Lord.

Yun Yang and Bai Liyi began to line up their troops.
