Beside the small river, Huan Zhong ran to the water source, and after a tense escape, he never felt that even this ordinary river water had become sweet.

Lose your armor and lose your armor, and the remnants of the army will be defeated. The 50,000 Liang troops who were originally following him were scattered in the process of escaping, and there were only more than 30,000 people following him at this moment.

"General, what do we do now?"

The Chu army chased after him, intending to be his head. Huan Zhong washed his face with river water and regained a little consciousness.

"Go back to Wancheng. As long as Wancheng is here, we will not lose. ”

Huan Zhong's eyes lit up. There are mountains of military rations and armaments in Wancheng, and there are still 50,000 Liang troops in Suixian. As long as he can return to Wancheng, then he Huan Zhong can regain his footing, the big deal is to give up Suixian, let Jin Xin lead the army to withdraw, as long as he can hold Wancheng, then the Liang army still has the strength to fight.

Defeated from the Lei River, the nearest stronghold of the Liang army was Qingyang County. But there is no point for Huan Zhong to go to Qingyang County at the moment, Chu Jun is behind him, and Cai Tong's thoughts about Wancheng are not a day or two.

"Let's go!"

Huan Zhong no longer hesitated, the military situation was like fire, and he couldn't control much at the moment. Although his body was already very weak and almost began to collapse, Huan Zhong still bit his breath and wanted to march as soon as possible.

The road is difficult, and the fighting spirit is high when you come, and the journey of hundreds of miles seems to pass in an instant. When he returned, he was defeated like a mountain, the soldiers had no food, and they were hungry and cold, every step he took was taken

"General, there is Huyang County in front, and we can rest for a while when we get there."

The adjutant general looked at the outline of the county town in front of him, and tears were moistened in his dry eyes. Hovering on the edge of life and death, every day is a fear of fear.

Huyang County is a transportation hub, Wancheng to the north, and the territory of the Shenxiao faction to the east. As long as they enter Huyang County, Huan Zhong and the others can breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Huyang City is in sight, you only need to climb the last hillside to reach it. It's just that in an instant, the flag lit up behind the hillside made all the Liang soldiers turn the light of hope in their eyes into despair.

Han Buyi stood on the top of the hill from the back of the slope, followed by 10,000 Dongzhou soldiers.

The Dongzhou soldiers are not like the soldiers in the ordinary army, they do not wear armor, they only have a small amount of logistics needs, they march quickly, they do not have bows, arrows and javelins, but they can carry out long-range operations, and their combat power is very strong.

Han Buful's gaze wandered among the Liang army, and finally fell under Huan Zhong's daze, and he shouted.

"Our army is stationed here on the orders of the prime minister, where is Huan Zhong?"

No one could have imagined why so many Dongzhou soldiers suddenly appeared in the place where the Liang army marched? And in Huan Zhong's mind, there was an even more terrifying thought.

If the Shu army can get here, it means that Yang Xian has broken through the defense line of Yuxian County, and this is simply impossible.

Huan Zhong didn't believe that Yang Xian's 50,000 Shu army could solve the 50,000 Liang army in Sui County in such a short time. What's more, there are also Jin Xin's 30,000 black dragons among them.

Yang Xian used the lives of soldiers to grind one by one, and he couldn't climb the city wall of Yuxian County at this time.

As soon as he thought of this, the terrible thought in Huan Zhong's heart turned into a long sound and let go with a bang.

"Where's Jin Xin?"

"General Jin Xin and the 30,000 soldiers of the Black Snake Army are obedient and righteous, and have already thrown themselves into our army." Han Bu looked at the general under the big man, and his tone became three points higher, "Huan Zhong, you are not my family's opponent." The prime minister misses that you are old, retreat quickly, so as not to make mistakes! ”

"Yang Xian Xiao'er, hate me!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Huan Zhong's mouth, and Huan Zhong finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

"General, General!"

Qingyang County.

The Liangzi banner at the head of the city fell and was replaced with the banner of the Chu army.

Cai Tong stood on the city wall of Qingyang County, looking at the farmland houses in the distance, and felt no comfort in his heart.

In Nanyang County, Qingyang County is the largest city after Wancheng, Xiangcheng and Suixian. Since Jin Xiu threw himself into Huan Wu and the Liang army invaded Nanyang in a big way, Qingyang County was lost from Cai Tong's hands.

It's been five or six years, and Cai Tong hasn't been like this, standing on the city wall of Qingyang County, looking at the distant scenery.

Qingyang County has indeed changed, and Huan Wu does not seem to be idle in recent years, vigorously rectifying the rule of officials in Nanyang and rectifying internal affairs. In Cai Tong's impression, outside Qingyang County, the place that should have belonged to the barren hills has now become a large area of fertile land.

"Master Hou, it's not good!"

Wen Qing hurried to the city wall with a few generals. Now that Qingyang City has been captured by the Chu army, the intelligence channels ahead have also been opened.

"What's going on?"

The long-lost tranquility was broken, but there was no anger on Cai Tong's face. Wen Qing has always been steady, and Cai Tong really didn't know what could make him so flustered.

"We learned from the captured prisoners of the Liang army that Jin Xin from Sui County threw himself into Yang Xian. With the help of Jin Xin and the 30,000 Black Fly Army, the entire northern part of Nanyang is now under Yang Xian's control. ”

"What?"

In a short moment, Cai Tong's face flashed with doubts, struggles, and unwillingness, and finally, all kinds of emotions turned into a long laugh.

"What a Yang Zizhan! Huan Zhong and I were bloodied, and both were defeated. He did not make any effort to take advantage of the fisherman. ”

Cai Tong didn't say a word, and he wouldn't say it in front of Wen Qing and others.

Yang Xian's irritating appearance is exactly the same as Yang You'an.

The same abomination! It's the same.......

"Hateful!"

Cai Tong scolded angrily, slapped his palm on the city wall, and shattered half of the wall battlement.

"Master Hou, what should we do now? The last general can't swallow this breath. ”

General Chu, who was following behind Wen Qing, said angrily, and then, there was a chorus.

"I waited for the Liang army to fight to the death before capturing this Qingyang county seat. But this advantage was taken advantage of by Yang Xian. ”

The Chu army and Yang Xian had an old grudge, and on the same day, Yang Xian broke into Qingshui County and surrendered Fan Qing's old department. Later, he openly appeared in Wuning County with the Shu army to fight against the Chu army, but he simply didn't take them seriously.

Seeing that Huan Zhong was defeated, they could capture Wancheng as long as they pursued with victory. Who knew that at this time, Yang Xian was already sitting in Wancheng, looking at them with a smile, as if he was watching a play.

"Wen Qing, what do you think?"

Cai Tong ignored the angry generals, and instead set his eyes on Wen Qing. As a general of the Chu State, he has a great influence among the generals.

Cai Tong naturally knew that he had no way to take Yang Xian at this time. He fought several battles with Huan Zhong, and the Chu army still had 1230,000 troops left, but they were all long-fought armies and needed to rest. But Yang Xian is recuperating and waiting for work.

"The last general thinks that it is not appropriate for our army to fight with the Shu army at this time. The lord can send a letter to congratulate Yang Xian, and at the same time test the movement of the Shu army. ”

It's just that as soon as Wen Qing's words were finished, smoke and dust rose on the official road in the distance.

Cai Tong squinted his eyes, looked at the team of Shu cavalry, and snorted coldly.

"It seems that Yang Xian has thought ahead of us!"
