Ning Zechen sent messengers into Huangchuan to inform Huaidong of the overall strategy, and since then, the whole picture of the Chaishan ambush has been unfolded in front of Dong Yuan and Huaixi.

At that time, Liu Tingzhou, who supervised the grain into Huangchuan City and joined Dong Yuan, stood on the spot and was speechless for a long time.

Dong Yuan sat alone in the ashram for nearly an hour, and when he came out of the ashram, he did not discuss with Liu Tingzhou, so he went alone and directly asked the clerk in front of the tent to record his order: "Guangshan and Xixian Zhucheng, when the order is received, immediately mobilize the whole army, dispatch all the soldiers and horses and the soldiers and civilians along the Shiyan River to the south, and enter the Suizhou Army in the upper reaches of the Shiyan River; In the south of Zhengyang City, the soldiers and horses of Pingchang, Shangliang, Yuehe Zhuzhai and Gaoliang Dianyuan were distributed on both banks of the upper reaches of Huaishui and at the western foot of Tongbai Mountain, and Gaoliang Dianyuan returned to the government department, except for Xiao Kuian, who led the Zhengyang defenders to monitor the enemy in Queshan, the rest all abandoned the current fortifications and immediately went south along the Guzhu River, attacking the western flank defense line of the Suizhou army at the intersection of Tongbai Mountain and Huaishan Mountain, and Xiao Kuian led the headquarters to strictly ...... Zhengyang and other cities on the north bank of the Huai River."

Wang Muti, who joined the army in the Huaixi Xing Camp Record Office, wrote hundreds of words, brushed and wrote hundreds of words, and took a pen and paper to read again, corrected errors and omissions, and showed the draft military order to Dong Yuan to read; Dong Yuan was speechless and handed it to Liu Tingzhou: "Tingzhou, do you think it's okay?" ”

Although in the past hour, Liu Tingzhou has not been able to fully digest the fact that the soldiers and horses stationed in Huaidong in Luzhou have infiltrated the hinterland of Jingxiang and taken Fancheng on the night of the 18th - the victory in the battle of Jingxiang can be expected on the same day, Dong Yuan mobilized all the soldiers and horses in his hands to press to the northern foot of Huaishan, whether it is to expand the results of the battle or to fight for the results, Liu Tingzhou subconsciously did not feel that there was any problem.

Liu Tingzhou took the manuscript drafted by Wang Mu, and also looked at some errors and omissions in the text, read it again, handed it to Dong Yuan, and said: "The discussion makes you think about it very carefully, and the lower officials feel that there is nothing inappropriate......

"Then I will copy the seal, and send fast horsemen to gallop to the armies to deliver orders."

Dong Yuan threw the manuscript to Wang Mu and other texts to copy several copies, sat in front of the long case to personally sign the seal, and used the military order to sign Liu Tingzhou - Liu Tingzhou did not have any suspicions, Dong Yuan, as the head of the camp and the envoy, had military power, and he did not have the title of supervising the army.

Seeing that Dong Yuan did not discuss how the Huaidong Army set up an ambush in Chaishan, Liu Tingzhou saw that it was not early, and he still had to go to see the loading and unloading of grain, so he left Dong Yuan's big tent first.

Pushing the door and leaving, Liu Tingzhou only took two steps before he realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to slap himself twice, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was impossible to erase the name of the deputy on the military order, looked up at the twilight and sunset in the western sky, smiled bitterly, and continued to walk towards the grain camp......

***************

Sure Mountain, west of Tongbai Mountain, for the hinterland of the Central Plains, the throat of Henan and Hubei, six miles southeast of the city there is a Sure Mountain as the name, Chen Zhihu is indeed the mountain camp is set up between the remnant city of the Sure Mountain and the Sure Mountain, in order to contain the south Huaixi stationed in Zhengyang Xiao Kui'an Department and the west stationed in the vortex water line of Tao Chun Department.

When the news of the sneak attack on Fancheng by the soldiers and horses of Chaishan was first reported by the guard general Puama to the Nanyang Zhucheng in the north, he did not make the problem too serious at that time. After the death of Puama, the entire area of Fancheng and the Qiaodu area in the south of the city was lost, and Fancheng was actually controlled by the Huaidong army, and Azig did not successfully send a letter cavalry to bypass Fancheng until the early morning of the 19th, and to inform the specific enemy situation in the direction of Xinye, Nanyang, Miyang and Wuyang.

In response to this delay, Chen Zhihu dragged on until noon on the 20th at the camp in Queshan before he learned the news that Fancheng had been carelessly lost under the sneak attack of 5,000 ambush troops in Huaidong.

Gaoyi, who followed Chen Zhihu in Queshan and Leng Zilin in Wuyang, thought that they should directly send reinforcements from Wuyang to Fancheng to join other soldiers and horses as Azig requested, and then recapture Fancheng and restore the grain route, but Chen Zhihu sent a letter to ask Leng Zilin to stay in Wuyang and come to Queshan to meet him.

There are one hundred and fifty miles from Wuyang to Queshan, and the letter and horse gallop back and forth and delay for most of the day, Leng Zilin rushed to the camp of Queshan, it was already the early morning of the 21st.

Looking at the situation in the camp tent, it seems that the mobilization before the battle is being carried out, Leng Zilin is not puzzled at all, so he can only go to the big tent to see Chen Zhihu, the king of Ruzhou.

One hundred and fifty miles of land ran down without stopping, Leng Zilin stepped off the horse and ran two horses, Leng Zilin was quite puzzled by Chen Zhihu's decision not to move, very confused, and even resistant, walked into Chen Zhihu's big tent, panted and untied the hood, ripped off the armor, looked at the long case with a warm tea, picked it up and drank it, and asked in a loud voice: "Hu Shuai, the military situation in Fancheng is urgent, and all the cities should be in a hurry to receive the letter. Hu Shuai summoned me to discuss matters in the mountain, what can't be directly ordered? This time and again, let alone a day's delay. ”

"You sit down." Chen Zhihu glanced up at Leng Zilin, told him to sit down in a calm voice, and continued to stare back at the map.

Leng Zilin asked Chen Zhihu to block it, and then sat down in a muffled voice.

At this time, Gao Yi pushed the door and walked in, Leng Zilin looked up, and wanted to ask what was going on, what happened to him?

Chen Zhihu raised his head and asked Gao Yi: "Did you come back from the Tanma in Zhengyang, and what is the movement in Huaixi in Zhengyang......?"

"There has been no movement on Zhengyang's side of Xiao Kuian, but I have sent four hundred cavalry teams around Zhengyang to Pyeongchang and Yuehe to pierce the line, and there should be a response ......at dawn," Gao Yi said.

"What the hell is going on?" Leng Zilin was confused.

"Idiot." Chen Zhihu scolded Leng Zilin disdainfully, but he had no intention of solving his doubts, and continued to stare at the map, as if his eyes were about to be locked into the map.

Gao Yi walked over, explained to Leng Zilin in a suppressed voice, and said, "Hu Shuai thinks that Huaidong will not be so rough with ambush soldiers......

"What does it mean that it won't be so coarse," Leng Zilin asked, "Could it be that Huaidong has a hidden hand in addition to the sneak attack on Fancheng?" ”

"Now Gao Zongting is Lin Lian's adviser," Gao Yi said, "It's not that you don't know how powerful Gao Zongting is!" Moreover, Lin Tie collects the red jacket girl in Huaisi, and you haven't seen it before, and I suspect that Huaidong is hiding a more powerful and deadly backhand! ”

Leng Zilin stood stunned on the spot, realizing that he was really thinking too shallow in Wuyang.

In the twelfth year of Chongguan, Liu Miaozhen led the remnants of the Huaiyang army to almost encircle them, and Lin Lian used Sun Zhuang's secret son to abandon Su Yu to open a gap, and Liu Miaozhen fled east - afterwards, Lin Lian faked Sun Zhuang's general, but the next evolution of things was jaw-dropping, Liu Miaozhen not only led the Huaiyang army to Huaidong, Liu Miaozhen herself also married Lin Lian as a concubine.

I have heard a lot of allusions about losing my wife and losing my soldiers, and I can listen to the happy story of "winning my wife and getting soldiers" a few times.

For Huaidong, it is naturally extremely enjoyable, but Chen Zhihu, Gao Yi, Leng Zilin and others are extremely good for this - not to mention whether Gao Zongting is behind the acceptance of Liu Miaozhen, but the whole shows that Huaidong's strategy is wonderful, which can be called the peak.

Huaidong has risen rapidly over the years, and now it is ordered by the Son of Heaven not to be subordinate, occupying half of the country, and it is easy to give each other?

"What will be the back hand?" Leng Zilin asked, "Huaidong still has ambush soldiers in the hinterland of Jingxiang?" ”

"It's not a question of another ambush, but since the fall of Nanyang, the whole thing has evolved into a strategy to lure the enemy deep into Huaidong......" Chen Zhihu raised his head at this time, and said in an unusually hoarse voice, he had a long scar on his face, which was obviously extra hideous under the light, pointing to the map, asking Gao Yi and Leng Zilin to come closer and take a closer look.

Before the map, Chen Zhihu marked out several key points that he suspected, outside of Fancheng, a key point under the belly of Jingxiang was Suizhou.

Leng Zilin also instantly figured out where the suspicion was: the Huaidong ambush soldiers could approach Fancheng without revealing their voices by pretending to be Chaishan soldiers and horses, why didn't they attack Suizhou?

All this seems to indicate that Huaidong's hidden backhand is enough to storm Suizhou......

Leng Zilin then understood why Hu Shuai ordered four hundred-man cavalry teams to pierce into the hinterland of Xinyang from the Zhengyang defense line, if Huaidong really hid a hard attack on Suizhou, Huaixi's deployment of troops and horses in Xinyang would inevitably change soon. They sent a hundred-man cavalry team to pierce in, and when they saw the changes and reactions of Huaixi's soldiers and horses in Xinyang, they could somewhat corroborate their guesses, which was also the fastest way to verify their guesses—otherwise, when the news of the fall of Suizhou came, they would make a contingency, although it would only be a day or two slower, but it would be too late.

"What if," Leng Zilin asked with a chill down his spine, "what if it is really a strategy to abandon Nanyang and not help Huaidong to lure the enemy?" ”

"Are you scared again?" Chen Zhihu glanced up at Leng Zilin, his eyes were like electricity, as if he was about to pierce Leng Zilin's heart.

Leng Zilin avoided Chen Zhihu's lightning-like eyes, lifted his expression, and said: "With Shuai Hu all these years, he should have enjoyed the scenery, why be afraid of death?" ”

"Hu Shuai, do you think Dong Yuan will give way?" Gao Yi asked.

"It's hard to say," Chen Zhihu shook and said, "I'll know tomorrow if I ask......"

Hearing Gao Yi and Chen Zhihu discuss Dong Yuan's concession, Leng Zilin's eyes moved to the map again.

If Dong Yuan gives way and tells them to pass directly through the territory of Zhengyang, they can take the valley road at the middle foot of Tongbai Mountain to enter the territory of Miyang - this is the most convenient and fastest passage for the soldiers and horses to enter the Nanyang Basin.

Otherwise, it is necessary to go north along the eastern foot of Tongbai Mountain, and then go around to the western foot of Tongbai Mountain and go south to the Nanyang Basin through Fangcheng, which is more than 400 miles.

In other words, more than 400 miles is nothing, and it takes only four or five days to march in a hurry, but at this moment, four or five days is enough to completely decide the situation of the Jingxiang battle.

Leng Zilin then understood why when he galloped into the camp just now, he saw that the camp looked like it was about to start, it turned out that Hu Shuai wanted to lead the main force of the soldiers and horses of the camp to help Fancheng directly, not just send the soldiers and horses in Wuyang to help.

Leng Zilin calculated the battle situation with Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi in the big tent that night, and when it was almost dawn, there was further news brought back by Tanma: "In addition to Xiao Kuian's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding Zhengyang City without movement, the soldiers and horses in Huaixi at the western foot of Tongbai Mountain have signs of gathering and ready to go!" ”

"Okay." Chen Zhihu clenched his fists, frowned and was about to give an order, Gao Yi Xiaoyi asked: "Hu Shuai, what if Dong Yuan gathered troops and horses not to go south, but to the camp of Queshan?" ”

"Then fight it!" Chen Zhihu said, "What are you afraid of? ”
