Chang County, Changshui Wharf.

The ships are still swinging, and the armor is solemn. Boxes of armaments are being unloaded from horse-drawn wagons ready to be loaded onto cargo ships.

Huan Zishan stood on the dock, counting the supplies. Compared with the soldiers of the Liang Army, Huan Zishan is not tall, and his immature face is like a teenager.

If you don't say it, no one will associate it with General Liang, but only think that it is a scholar studying in the countryside.

Before the Battle of Southern Zhou, Zhang Rui, the general of the Liang army, captured Yuting, and the relationship between the Liangzhou army and the Liang army was quite tense, and Huan Zishan also led the army to garrison the border of Liangzhou. But since Huan Wu and Zhu Zi made peace and exchanged customs cities, the tense situation on the border has eased a lot.

The 20,000 troops under Huan Zishan were originally the elite of the northern army of Shendu, and in order to stay on the border of Liangzhou just in case, now that the situation has eased, they are naturally ready to withdraw.

Originally, in the plan of the Liang army, Huan Zishan's department would be directly transferred to Haojing through the water, and Huishendu would be adjusted.

But just a day ago, Huan Zishan got a warning message from Ho Kyung.

The Shu army knocked on the side, and Jin Xin, the general of the Black Fraud Army, forced to disperse the water pass, and Jin Xin urgently ordered Huan Zishan's department to go to support.

After Huan Zishan received the order, he traveled two hundred miles in one day to Changxian County, preparing to go to Cangqiu by water.

Changxian is a large county in the west of Yongzhou and a transportation hub. From Changxian County along the long water, you can go directly to Cangqiu.

Cangqiu City is located on the north bank of Weishui, where it meets Changshui, and is the most important military town in Yongzhou.

If the Shu army gets the Sanshui Pass and the army goes north, then Cangqiu City, which has strong city defenses, is a point that cannot be bypassed.

Since Liangzhou and Wei exchanged markets, many merchants from Yongzhou have gone to Liangzhou through such a transportation important place as Changxian County to exchange for wild animal skins and rare specialties from the wasteland.

Usually, businessmen and tourists gather on this Changshui wharf, but at this time, Liang Jun's troop transfer document arrived, and the county order of Changxian County immediately blocked the seven Changshui wharves under its jurisdiction for the use of Huan Zishan's department.

Now on the edge of this pier, there are only a few pedestrians. Because Changshui was impassable, all the merchants who were going to Yongzhou had to postpone their trips. As a result, inns in Changxian County have become full.

There was a lot of talking, all speculating about what was going on?

No matter how bustling Changxian is at the moment, Huan Zishan on the dock is very calm. He knew the state of the merchants and even the people in Chang County, and he also knew that the news of the Shu army and Koubian would not be hidden for long.

Next, if the Shu army expands the war, then Changshui and Weishui will be blocked by the Liang army. In this way, if these businessmen want to return to Yongzhou, they are afraid that it will take a long time.

The face is unusually calm, the command is calm, Huan Zishan is the most guarded general among the younger generation of the Liang army, and he is as famous as Huan Youji.

No matter how calm he looks on the outside, Huan Zishan is always a little worried in his heart. Because he is good at guarding, Huan Zishan knows that the situation in Yongzhou at this time is not optimistic.

The Liang army was defeated by Zhou Nan, and more than 200,000 elites suffered heavy losses.

In order to open up the land of Hehuang, a large number of materials were not counted, and 50,000 troops were transferred from Yongzhou, and the power of the Liang army in Yongzhou was suppressed to a point where it was about to collapse.

Although Huan Zishan didn't understand why Huan Wu was so anxious, he also smelled a hint of crisis from it. Huan Zishan once gave this book to Huan Wu, and suggested delaying the establishment of the upper rhino horse, but in the end, the book sank into the sea, and there was no news from the Shendu.

But after all, the crisis broke out, and Yang Xian did not let go of this opportunity. Taking advantage of the important season of the autumn harvest, 10,000 black flies resolutely went north to attack Sanshui Pass.

And the order given to him by Huan Zhong made Huan Zishan suspect that the situation ahead was already quite bad. Huan Zhong did not let him enter Cangqiu and rush to the aid of Sanshui Pass, but let him enter Cangqiu, rectify military affairs, count supplies, and wait for help.

It seems that Huan Zhong has already decided that the Liang army on the front line of Sanshui Pass will not be able to stop the Shu army.

There was an eagle roar in the sky, and Liang Jun's Xun Eagle circled in the sky and quietly landed on Huan Zishan's armour. Untied the bamboo tube, Huan Zishan raised his arm slightly, Xun Ying flapped his wings and flew into the sky again.

Huan Zishan took out the information from the bamboo tube, opened it and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

The situation was even worse than he imagined, and Jin Xin broke through the Sanshui Pass in three hours. After capturing Sanshui Pass, Jin Xin did not choose to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, but took the initiative to attack and defeated several Liang troops who rushed to aid Sanshui Pass.

The Black Fly Army attacked fiercely, and after entering Yongzhou, it captured three cities in a row. At this rate, the Shu army will be able to reach the south bank of Weishui in less than two days, and the troops will surround Cangqiu.

If Cangqiu is lost, the Liang army will have no barrier in the west of Yongzhou, and the hinterland of Guanzhong will be under the front of the Shu army. With the military town of Cangqiu, the Shu army can follow Weishui and fight all the way to Haojing.

"Speed up, we must reach Cangqiu before it gets dark tomorrow."

Huan Zishan gave the order, but he became more and more anxious in his heart. Although he was sure in his heart that with the military strength and dangerous terrain in Cangqiu City, it was impossible for the Shu army to take it in a short time. He had plenty of time to rush to Cangqiu and organize defenses, but after all, there was a panic in his heart. Cangqiu is too important to be missed.

From Sanshui Pass to the north, after entering the territory of Yongzhou, the terrain suddenly opened.

The Qianli Plain of Yongzhou is divided into two by Weishui. The Black Fly Army fought several battles, and now the Liang army in the southern part of Zhongdi County could no longer organize an effective defense.

Standing on the high ridges, the golden sea of corn was in sight, and Jin Xin was carrying a long knife. He had just experienced a bloody battle, and there was still a smell of beacon smoke on his armor.

"General, we have already gathered the supplies of the Liang army. At this rate, I am afraid that in less than a month, our army will be able to reach Haojing directly. ”

The soldiers under his command had joy on their faces, but Jin Xin shook his head, and his eyes seemed to penetrate everything.

"This is just Huan Zhong's old thief's plan to underestimate the enemy, he knows that Yongzhou's military strength is uneven at the moment, and it is difficult to take care of it, so he took the initiative to shrink the defense line, from the first line of Sanshui Pass to the first line of Cangqiu, and lost the area south of Weishui in Zhongdi County to us. If we are careless and attack Cangqiu, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss. ”

"Then are we going to wait for reinforcements from the lord?"

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "No, push our army's battle line to the south bank of Weishui, and prepare the pontoon bridge and boats to cross the river." ”

"What do you mean?"

"With the current strength of our army, we can't attack Cangqiu, but we might as well make the Liang army think that we are going to attack Cangqiu. News came from the rear that Yang Ping led 50,000 Changce troops to the north from Baocheng Pass, or in a few days, they would be able to join our army. ”

"Subordinates understood!"

"I want to see, is there still a hero in this Liang army now?"

Jin Xin smiled and said leisurely.
