The all-round general offensive aimed at tearing through the Baitahe-Huangpicheng-Xiongjiagang defense line will have to be delayed for a day or two and wait for the fighters to be transmitted from the hinterland of Jingxiang, but the conventional offensive of continuously exerting pressure on the enemy troops on this defense line will not stop.

On the contrary, Chen Yan, Yu Wencheng, Zhang Jiheng, Zhang Gou and other front-line generals even used their battlefield scheduling power to increase the offensive on the Baitahe, Huangpicheng, Xiongjiagang and other lines, thinking that the upcoming general offensive would warm up.

By the 20th, the Chai Mountain ambush was no longer a secret to the ordinary generals of the Huaidong Army, after all, before the general attack, Lin Jian had to fully mobilize the whole army. As a matter of fact, starting from the 18th, the overall plan of the Jingxiang strategy was told to the generals of the whole army from top to bottom, step by step, -- there were 50,000 elites from Huaidong waiting for them to join forces in the hinterland of Jingxiang, waiting for them to win the final victory together, and to annihilate the Hulu and their lackeys who had entered the Jingxiang area, and to reverse the strategic pattern of confrontation between the north and the south in one fell swoop......

In addition to Zhao Hu's 10,000 forbidden camp troops left behind, there are also more large-scale soldiers and craftsmen who are responsible for transfer and construction, as well as a large number of civilian officials.

It was not until the 20th that the mobilization order issued by Lin Tie regarding the general attack on the enemy army in Jingxiang was officially posted in the city of Huangzhou, informing the civilian officials and the workers, and it was only at this moment that Zuo Chengmu was informed by Fu Qinghe of the true scale of the Huaidong army's lurking troops and horses in Chaishan.

“……”

At this moment, what else could Zuo Chengmu say, his eyes were staring at the map, even if he told Fu Qinghe the truth in person, but it was an unimaginable thing for Zuo Chengmu to directly cross the most dangerous Huaishan midline from the hometown in the northwest of Luzhou and enter the eastern edge of Suizhou.

It can only be said that Lin Jian used a huge amount of unimaginable resources to carry out this plan, and designing this strategy to lure Yan Hu into Yan requires imagination beyond ordinary people.

And Huaidong used such a huge amount of resources to carry out this plan, and even bet the victory or defeat of the first battle of Jingxiang on this plan, placing great expectations on it, Lin Lianyan would reveal this to himself in advance?

Zuo Chengmu's mood at this moment was extremely complicated, with inexplicable loss, frustration, and worries about Hu Wenmu and the Jinghu military horses guarding Jingzhou.

Even if someone was immediately sent to Jingzhou at this time to announce the news and boost morale, with the heart of Jingzhou generals sticking to the city, it would take three days to rush to Jingzhou by water as soon as possible. According to Lin Bin's plan, the main force of Chaishan's soldiers and horses should be to attack Suizhou today, regardless of whether Suizhou City can be successfully taken or not, the soldiers and horses lurking in the hinterland of Jingxiang in Huaidong, the real details will not be transmitted to Jingzhou until three days later at the earliest-this means that Ye Ji Luorong, who is on the west bank of the Han River, will continue to be kept in the dark and storm Jingzhou during these three days.

The only good news is probably that even if Ye Ji Luorong captures Jingzhou City, it is impossible to slaughter the city: first, Ye Ji Luorong will not have enough time to slaughter Jingzhou City, and it is difficult for Ye Ji Luorong to break through the encirclement formed by Huaidong on the front line of Fancheng in a short period of time, and it is necessary to stay on the west bank of the Han River for a long time, and control an intact Jingzhou City, which is more beneficial to the Yanhu soldiers and horses on the west bank of the Han River to retreat north.

As for the enemy troops on the east bank of the Han River, Zuo Chengmu really can't see that they have a chance to escape and ascend, maybe they will miss one or two thousand in the end, right? Zuo Chengmu said secretly in his heart, but he also knew that for the Jinghu Army in this battle, maybe Hu Wenmu and a few others would withdraw from Jingzhou at the last critical moment, but the main force of the Jinghu Army was destroyed in Jingzhou City, Jingzhou and the peripheral cities of Jingzhou were withered and destroyed in the war, and Jiangxia and Ezhou on the south bank also excessively consumed their military potential due to the war, and the Jinghu forces were actually half-crippled from then on......

Can you accuse Lin Jian of killing people with a knife, can you say that he is not-Zuo Chengmu was bitter in his heart, and he was speechless for a while to face Fu Qinghe, and only said: "I will immediately send someone to Jingzhou to inform this matter, so that he must stick to Jingzhou and wait for Shengjie...... "I secretly hoped in my heart: Hu Wenmu, Hu Wenmu, the left foot is for life, and the right foot is for death, it depends on whether you can grit your teeth and hold on to this critical three days......

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

On the occasion of returning to Jiangzhou, Sun Wenbing made a detour to Qichun to inform Yue Lengqiu, Deng Yu, Yue Zhi and other members of the Chizhou army of Huaidong's overall strategy, and ordered the Chizhou army to encircle Fengshan so that Chen Hansan would not have a chance to escape.

Sun Wenbing sent a message on behalf of Huaidong and left, leaving Yue Lengqiu, Deng Yu, and Yue Zhi, who looked at each other and were silent and didn't know what to say.

After more than a month of restoration in Qichun City, some houses were able to handle official business, so Yue Lengqiu moved the line from the low and inconvenient camp to the renovated Qichun County Ya.

At this time, the north wind is howling, at the end of mid-October, it is already winter, and there is gradually a chill outside, but the white dew is frost in the early winter warm sun has disappeared, it is the noon time when the weather is warm, Yue Lengqiu and Deng Yu, Yue Zhi have a lot of indescribable and unclear emotions in the room.

Surprised, surprised that Huaidong was able to carry out such a trick to hide the sky and cross the sea, and surprised that Huaidong had to invest many resources in Luzhou in order to quietly send 50,000 soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Jingxiang before the war?

Afraid, afraid of Huaidong after the Battle of Jingxiang, who can be the enemy? Who else in the world can control the elbow of the forest?

Resentment, resentment Lin was bound to the last moment before informing Qi Chun, and also handed over a warrant to the Chizhou army to annihilate Chen Hansan in Fengshan.

Suspicious, suspicious that all this is Lin Lian's desire to deceive Qi Chun, there is no Huaidong ambush in the hinterland of Jingxiang, but it is to induce the Chizhou army to fight Chen Hansan to the death......

"Could it be that the privy envoy intends to make the Chizhou army and Fengshan Chen Hansan both defeated?" Yue Zhi spoke not so restrained in front of Yue Lengqiu, and expressed the doubts in his heart, he still didn't believe that Huaidong could send 50,000 soldiers and horses into the hinterland of Jingxiang so quietly.

Yue Lengqiu closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "You go to the front base to prepare for the matter of Wuyun River and Fengshan, even if the news is not true, we will attack Fengshan after the Huaidong Army launches a general attack on Huangpi......

Lin Lian's general attack on the Baitahe-Huangpi-Xiongjiagang defense line was in the past two days, and now it is too late to send scouts and scouts to the hinterland of Luzhou or Jingzhou for verification, but as long as the main force of the Huaidong Army in Huangzhou launches a general attack on the Baitahe-Huangpi-Xiongjiagang defense line, it will be eight or nine and ten.

Deng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How can the Chizhou army be regarded as a great victory......

Yue Lengqiu nodded, it is said that there are some things that should be thought through, but there are still many unwillingnesses at the end, so he is depressed, but he should also think through it.

After the defeat of Zongyang, the Chizhou army no longer had an independent status: it could not violate the overall strategic arrangement of Lin Tie before; When the Battle of Jingxiang was about to be won, he had no ability to disobey Lin Bin's order, so he could only attack Chen Hansan's troops who were defending Fengshan according to Lin Bin's orders, and no matter how bad it was, Chen Hansan would be besieged in Fengshan to the death, so that his troops could not escape.

The meaning of Deng Yu's words is also obvious, as a general with troops, the desire for victory is stronger and more direct than intrigue......

Chen Hansan completely blocked his retreat in Jiangning, he would definitely struggle to the death, and he would definitely be trapped in the beast, and the Chizhou army might suffer a lot of casualties, but for Deng Yu and other Chizhou army generals, at this time, instead of thinking about preserving strength, rather than being able to pull out the external intrigue and fighting, it is better to use a hearty victory to wash away the shame caused by the fiasco of Huinan and Zongyang.

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

Suizhou City, a team of soldiers and horses of about 5,000 people, at this time the tail of the team has just walked out of the east gate, the team is in four columns along the post road rush, spread out more than two miles long. The soldiers at the head of the platoon carried the blue-black flag and unfurled it in the wind, hunting sounded; This is Luo Xiancheng's descendants who stayed in Suizhou, all the soldiers and armor are complete, and the selected soldiers are healthy soldiers, looking strong and majestic, and they don't realize that this will be a point of no return and a death pit......

Luo Wenhu sent Zhou Sheng (dog leftover) to gallop into Suizhou to ask for help, saying that Wang Xiang had rebelled, and led the Huaidong Army to sneak in from the front line of Buddha Monkey Ridge in the middle of Huaishan, one attacked Fancheng Grain Road, and one attacked Lishan - Luo Wenhu was caught off guard in Lishan, and asked Wang Xiang to lead 3,000 enemy soldiers to take Dongcheng, but he still led the defenders to hold on to Xicheng and did not retreat, please rush to help Suizhou.

Luo Xianyi, Ma Zhen and others, who stayed in Suizhou City, heard that Wang Xiang had rebelled, and although they were shocked, they corresponded to Wang Xiang's words and deeds before the war, and they were immediately confirmed to be true.

They still can't imagine the possibility of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Huaidong Army sneaking into Chai Mountain on a large scale, Luo Xianyi is Luo Xiancheng's younger brother, in the early years with Luo Xiancheng to sell smuggled salt, often walking between the Huai Mountains, naturally know how steep and tortuous the Huaishan Zhongmai Buddha Monkey Ridge that isolates Luzhou from the outside, even if a team of one or two hundred people wants to cross the Buddha Monkey Ridge to Luzhou, it will take more than half a month, and it is impossible to call a large number of soldiers and horses to pass - they only should be with the cooperation of Wang Xiang, the Huaidong Army has thousands of soldiers and horses through the Huaishan Midrib lurking in, Peeping at the opportunity, divide troops to sneak attack the weak points of Jingxiang's hinterland, cut off Jingxiang's grain route, and disrupt the defense lines of Northern Yan in Jingxiang.

As long as they don't realize that the Huaidong Army has the possibility of transferring the entire army and horses stationed in Luzhou to the hinterland of Jingxiang, they will almost make the same judgment as Luo Xianyi and Ma Zhen - Luo Xianyi and Ma Zhen did not expect that Luo Wenhu had reduced his shares without any struggle in front of the powerful Chaishan soldiers and horses, so naturally there was no doubt that Luo Wenhu sent someone to ask for help was a trick to lure and help......

Lishan is located in the east of Suizhou, which is related to the flank of Suizhou and can threaten the flank of the defense line at the northern foot of Huaishan.

Even if Ye Ji Luorong successfully took Jingzhou City and ended the war on the west bank of the Han River, the war on the east bank of the Han River would still last for a long time.

Luo Xianyi was even though Ma Zhen and his deputy general Shen Xiao were guarding Suizhou City, and he personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Lishan to ask for help.

At the junction of Lishan and Suizhou, Luodian and Changling, Luo Wenhu led more than 2,000 people, pretending to be defeated soldiers and horses from Lishan to scatter and rush in the direction of Suizhou, Tang Fuguan personally led 2,000 elites to pretend to pursue and then pursue, and the two soldiers and horses went to meet the 5,000 reinforcements who had entered Suizhou City......

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

In early September, Ning Zechen led the first town division of the Fengli Army with more than 10,000 elites in the water camp, along the Huai River, entered the Shi River, traced the Shi River up, and went all the way to the north foot of the Huai Mountain, entered Xinyang City, and met with the Xinyang defenders led by Meng Yi and Meng Zhixiang.

At the same time, Dong Yuan also personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses, out of Shouzhou, through Huoqiu, to recover Gushi, Huangchuan, Guangshan, Xixian, Luoshan and other cities east of Xinyang.

The tributaries of the upper reaches of the Huai River, such as the Shihe River, the Zhutang River and the Shiyan River, all originate from the north vein of the Huai Mountains, and these rivers are the main ditches that irrigate the ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Xinyang, and the upstream valley is also the passage through the Huai Mountains to the south of Suizhou.

In early July, Luo Xiancheng traveled from the Huai Mountains along these rivers and attacked the southern counties of Xinyang to contain the soldiers and horses stationed in Luzhou in Huaixi and Huaidong. When Nanyang fell in September, Ye Ji Luo Rong led the main force south to fight Jingzhou, and Luo Xiancheng also led his troops to retreat south along these rivers, avoiding the steep mountains in the northern vein of Huai Mountain, and guarding the upper valleys of these streams.

Because Luo Xiancheng ran Suizhou several years earlier than Dong Yuan, when Dong Yuan was in charge of Huaixi, almost the entire northern vein of Huaishan fell under Luo Xiancheng's control, Luo Xiancheng in the upper valley of the main tributaries of the Huai River, Zhutang River, Shiyan River and other major tributaries of the Huai River, using the original cottage, established a defense line at the northern foot of the north that was more than 200 miles long and about 60 miles deep. Luo Xiancheng led almost 50,000 soldiers and horses to fill this line of defense.

After the reinforcements led by Ning Zechen converged with the Xinyang defenders, plus the reinforcements led by Dong Yuan to enter the front line of Huangchuan, the total number of soldiers and horses at the northern foot of Huaishan was only 50,000, in addition, Tao Chun led his troops to move west from Wuyang, and Xiao Kui'an, who guarded Zhengyang County on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Huai River, joined forces to contain Chen Zhihu and Tu'an, and the total number of soldiers and horses was only 50,000.

Although the total number of soldiers and horses entering Xinyang in mid-to-late September also reached 100,000, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of troops. In contrast, although the enemy forces on the northern front are relatively scattered, they have a slight advantage in strength, and the advantage of occupying the terrain is too obvious, and it is a contraction defense, so that Dong Yuan wants to bite the enemy on the northern front, but he can't find a place to put his mouth......

On the 20th, also on the same day, Ning Zechen sent people into Dong Yuan's camp in Huangchuan to inform Huaidong of the overall strategy......
