Chapter 428: The Great Dragon Came from the Deep River Mulberry

Balmy autumn day.

After a whole summer of hibernation, the army of the Qin State once again raised the banner of southward marching, whether it was Peng Yue, Jiang Yu, Feng Xuan, or other ordinary Qin army generals, they were full of confidence in the second phase of the war.

A major upheaval, sometimes often due to fortuitous events.

In the first phase of the war, Mei Juan and Lin Shenhe, who had a high frequency of appearances, once again became the key figures who triggered the second phase of the Qin-Yue War.

Lin Shenhe showed surprising cunning and resourcefulness in the Battle of Nanyicheng, which won him great prestige and allowed the Changsha soldiers who followed him to rebel against the Meiyue people to return to their homeland. From an obscure and infamous Changsha military general to a hero who returned to his hometown and was respected and loved, Lin Shenhe's life suddenly underwent dramatic changes.

In the past two months, Lin Shenhe took advantage of the Meiyue people in the southern part of Changsha County to regain territory and consolidate Wuling, and the Qin army occupied the two small cities of Lingling and Pangyi in order to avoid the gap of retreating in the hot summer weather, thus becoming a new Liliang sandwiched between the two great shili of Qin and Yue.

For this unexpected local shili, Changsha and Nanjun Shoufeng Xuan showed considerable tolerance. The existence of Lin Shenhe is a good thing for the Qin army, which is not adapted to the summer combat method, with their existence, if Mei Juan wants to launch an offensive against the Qin army, he must first pass through Lin Shenhe.

Another more important layer, that is, the area of Lingling and Pangyi, was not the control area of the Qin army, and even the rule of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, in these border cities was not too strong, on the contrary, it was the Meiyue people who often went north from Wuling to plunder the wealth of the local people, and the existence of Lin Shenhe just encroached on the living space of the Meiyue people.

There are no more objects of guerrilla plunder. The Meiyue people can only be trapped in the hinterland of Wuling, relying on their own liliang to restore their strength, and in that case, for the Meiyue people whose economic development is still stuck in the primitive and slave social system, the recovery time will undoubtedly be much longer.

September 15th.

Mei Juan, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally couldn't bear it, and after paying the price of selling the two passes in the Wuling area, Mei Juan borrowed 6,000 troops from the Xiou people, plus more than 10,000 soldiers he requisitioned, a total of 16,000 generals, and launched a surprise attack on Pangyi City.

Lin Shenhe in terms of personal strategy. does have his uniqueness, when he was in Nanqiao City, he also played with Mei Juan fiercely, but scheming cannot replace strength, I didn't expect Mei Juan to borrow the Ou people to enhance the strength of Lin Shenhe, who was caught off guard, was passively beaten everywhere, and had to give up the pass on the border line and stick to the city.

hated Lin Shenhe for threatening his Mei Juan with hostages last time, and personally led the Yue'ou coalition army to attack. The Changsha soldiers stubbornly resisted for ten days, and finally had to withdraw from Pangyi, a small city at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and go to Lingling City, the stronghold of the Changsha soldiers.

Can Lingling be held?

If this Zuihou stronghold is gone, where will he go? For the Meiyue people. Lin Shenhe didn't have a good impression, and he was also suspicious of the Qin people from the north, if it weren't for the Qin people's insistence on going south. Changsha is still a good haode side, at least there will be no danger of losing the country in a short time.

But now, Wu Rui is dead. The Changsha Kingdom was destroyed, and it was so difficult for the old Changsha State like him to survive and be independent after losing the backer to which he depended.

In the face of the test of ideals and reality, Lin Shenhe had no confidence in whether he could independently repel the Meiyue people, and in desperation, he decided to send his henchmen to ask for help from the Qin army in Changsha County.

——。

The Meiyue people fought fiercely with the old department of Changsha.

Soon after the fall of Pangyi, this information was transmitted to the city of Linxiang, the county of Changsha.

Compared with the Jiangdong Army, which was only a small fight, and the Central Route Army, which was frustrated in a hurry, the performance of the Qin Army on the Western Front commanded by Feng Xuan in the first stage can be called amazing.

Taking advantage of Wu Rui's serious illness and the opportunity of the two sons competing for the throne, he invaded the hinterland of Changsha in one fell swoop and destroyed the Zuihou vassal state established by the anti-Qin princes. The fall of Changsha is more symbolic than it actually is, it put an end to the anti-Qin wave in the Kwantung after the perverse actions of Hu Hai of the second Qin Dynasty and Zhao Gao, the prime minister, and also made the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who continued to hide in the shadows, hoping that one day they could reproduce the princes of all walks of life and rise up against Qin.

Feng Xuan received information about the fall of Pangyi shortly after the Changsha soldiers fought against the Meiyue people, but the Qin army stationed in the upper reaches of the Xiangshui River continued to stand still under his strict orders.

Lin Shenhe was arrogant, he refused Feng Xuan's solicitation several times ago, and now it was time to teach him some lessons. Only by suffering will the Changsha soldiers be grateful for the support of the Qin army. In addition, Feng Xuan judged that Lingling City was not as good as Pang Yi, it was Lin Shenhe's lair, and the feelings of the people in the city for the Changsha soldiers were there, and it was not easy for Mei Juan to capture this city.

In the city of Linxiang.

Compared with the first stage of the river crossing battle, there were only two people, Feng Xuan and Man Qiuchen, in today's Western Route Army, it can be said that a large group of Qin generals and colonies who are eager to make military achievements have gathered.

Among these generals, the most famous one was Nanyang County Shou Chen Xuan, a former Han army general who finally had the opportunity to once again stand on the front line of the battle against the enemy and serve as Feng Xuan's deputy general.

It has been five days since Chen Feng arrived south of the Great River, which is also the first time he has been on the battlefield again after the end of the war against Chu, and in the past few years, every time he sees that Chu generals like Ji Bu, Zhong Liwu and even Zhou Yin and Ding Gong have been sent to the front line of the war against the Xiongnu, Chen Feng has some resentment in his heart.

What are the specific reasons? Chen Xuan didn't know.

In fact, Li Yuan did not let Chen Feng go north, not because of anything else, but because he was dissatisfied with Chen Yuan's attitude towards the Xiongnu.

A person's national feelings are much more important than personal grievances.

When Chen Feng took office in Nanyang County, he recruited guests and protégés widely, and his words were unscrupulous, and when he talked about the relationship between the Central Plains ethnic groups and the grassland ethnic groups, he was even more ambiguous and ambiguous.

In history, Chen Feng was reused by Liu Bang and served as the commander of the army of Dai County, and later because of the Han Wangxin incident, Chen Feng secretly formed a Xiongnu rebellion, which more or less made Li Yuan take more reservations on the appointment of Chen Feng, that is, not to transfer Chen Feng to the north.

After more than a year of reflection. Not long ago, he dismissed all the guests and submitted a letter, suggesting some of his recent thoughts to Li Yuan, so that he had the opportunity to return to the battlefield.

"General Feng, the Meiyue people are attacking Pang Yi and Lingling, Lin Shenhe is afraid that he won't be able to hold on for long, when will we leave?" Chen Feng asked.

has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and Chen Xuan's eagerness can be imagined. If it weren't for Feng Xuan being Li Yuan's cronies, and convincing Chen Xuan in terms of military talent, Chen Xuan would not be willing to be his deputy.

"General Chen, let's wait a little longer, Lin Shenhe is so cunning, he won't have no follow-up moves, we will go fast, that is, we will take millet from the fire, and fight for him in vain. The best time to play is when both sides are exhausted. Feng Xuan smiled confidently and said.

"Hey, this time. You can't let Mei Juan's thief run away anymore. Chen Xuan said hatefully.

In the last big battle with Mei Juan, Feng Xuan and Chen Xuan were both participants, but because Mei Juan ran too fast into the mountains and forests, he let the tiger return to the mountain. A few years later, this became an obstacle to the southward movement of the Qin army.

"Don't worry, this time. King Wu personally coordinates the actions of each army, and there will be no more situation where they fought separately last time, and this time it is not only our Third Route Army that will fight, but also a new force to join——。 Feng Xuan replied confidently.

——。

Lingling City was surrounded on three sides.

The morale of the Changsha soldiers, who have been defending the city for five days, is low, and Lin Shenhe hoarsely goes back and forth to boost morale at the head of the city, but the effect is not good, this is not that the Changsha soldiers do not work hard, but the Yue people and Ou people outside are too fierce.

In the southern part of Changsha County, it is already a place where the Shengfan people account for the majority, especially Lingling is deep into the hinterland of Jiuzhi Mountain, in this place, the residence of Shufan is also a central town like Lingling, if there is no solid city wall protection, the Ou people, Yue people can kill all the residents in the city with just one charge. If it weren't for the fact that Lingling City was built according to the Yuanshui, Lin Shenhe wanted to send people out of the city, but he couldn't.

In a fit of anxiety, Lin Shenhe finally waited for the henchmen who had sent the Qin State to come back.

"What did Feng Junshou say, when will the reinforcements come?" As soon as he saw his cronies coming back, Lin Shenhe stepped forward, pulled him to a secluded place, and couldn't wait to ask.

"General, the last general has not seen Feng Junshou, but according to General Man Qiuchen, the vanguard of the Qin army, it will take time to go out to reorganize the army, and it will take about fifteen days to arrive." The cronies bowed their heads and replied carefully. Feng Xuan and Man Qiuchen are two levels of characters, and the credibility of their words is naturally different.

"Fifteen days, when it drags on, what are the Qin people still here for, to collect the corpses for us? Did you say that we encountered a joint attack by the Yue and Ou people, and suffered heavy losses. Lin Shenhe was furious and scolded.

"Said, spoken. However, General Manqiu said that they had no choice, there was a shortage of weapons and baggage in the army, and these things were ready to be transported from the north of Yunmengze, and fifteen days was already fast. ”

"Wu Chen, you didn't go to him." Lin Shenhe asked unwillingly.

"The eldest prince, oh, no, Wu Chen is not in Linxiang, I heard that he went to inspect the area of Shaxian, and the last general waited for two days, and he didn't come back."

Lin Shenhe sighed, waved his hand and signaled his cronies to step back, only then did he begin to regret it, as a famous dragon set of the military history version of the Dragon's Sky Forum, a military theorist, when he learned that he was facing the difficulty of hell as soon as he crossed the game, Lin Shenhe was still quite complacent and proud, what are those gold-fingered crossing protagonists, look at my "Shenhe Sang" skills, even if there is nothing, I can make a world.

However, the facts in front of him made him disillusioned, Mei Yue people didn't play cards according to common sense at all, shouldn't he give a little time to let him, the protagonist, develop his strength? And Li Yuan, the early traverser, shouldn't he rush over excitedly, hug him and shout brother?

Where are the perks of the protagonist of the crossing?

Is there really nothing? Lin Shenhe couldn't help but lament in his heart, if he had known that there was a danger today, then he would definitely have a good relationship with Li Yuan, everyone is the end of the world, isn't it? There is also Wu Chen, although this nerd is looked down upon, but no matter what, with an acquaintance, how can he be able to deliver words to Qin State.

"God won't give me a little benefit for Shenhe-san, right? Therefore, even for the sake of my reputation in Dalongkong, I have to insist on it until Zuihou for a moment, and if I wear it back one day, then I have much more confidence to brag——! Lin Shenhe, who was desperate for the Qin army to be fruitless and self-pitying, had to once again exert his verbal skills, mobilize the soldiers and civilians in Lingling City, and implement all the troops to resist the enemy's attack.

Lin Shenhe's subordinates, after continuous battles, there are about 6,000 people left, plus the men and women in Lingling City who can go to the city to defend against the enemy, about 10,000 people, with these capitals, they can block the Yue people and Ou people for a few days, only God knows.
