Among the six generals of the Liang army, Xu Jin was the most low-key one.

For more than ten years, he has guarded the Shendu and directly obeyed orders under the command of Huan Wu. In terms of Huan Wu's evaluation, Xu Jin is a righteous general.

Of course, for his generals, Huan Wu naturally praised them as much as possible.

Xu Jin had obeyed orders under Yang Chun in the past, and he also learned the art of using soldiers. Yang Chun once said that putting 10,000 elite soldiers in Xu Jin's hands was the same as 10,000 recruits who had just learned the Qi of Blood Killing.

This is not a pure derogatory meaning, Yang Chun means that no matter what kind of soldiers and horses they are, in the hands of Xu Jin, the effect is the same. He can't maximize the strengths of the soldiers, but he can also nifle out the disadvantages of those recruits.

Among the Liang army, Zhang Rui is fierce with soldiers, Zheng Da is steady, Zhu Jian is light, Zhao Gong is fierce, Chu Lian is brave, and the other five generals are all able to use elite troops to the extreme, and can bring out an elite with their own style.

However, this is not to say that Xu Jin's ability is very poor, on the contrary, Xu Jin's generals are particularly precious in the troubled times.

In the last years of Emperor Qi, the population of the seven states of the Central Plains was nearly 70 million, but in a troubled era, there were only 20 or 30 million people left in the Central Plains.

This troubled world is like a huge meat grinder, devouring countless people's lives every day.

The princes fought against each other, and every day the army was lost, and new people were drawn into the army. At the height of the intensity, the princes even pulled the young man who had not yet cultivated the blood killing qi and threw him directly into the battlefield.

You must know that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yongzhou have been trained for a period of time, but when facing the elites of Yang Xian's subordinates who have experienced the war, it is also a one-sided battle situation, not to mention the young and strong who have not even cultivated the blood killing qi, and even the cannon fodder is not as good.

And by putting his army in the hands of a general like Xu Jin, the princes at least did not have to worry that he would lose all his belongings.

This 100,000 army from the Central Plains is not the top of the Liang army, but it is not the last class, and its combat power belongs to the middle level.

The reason why Xu Jin was able to become a general is, of course, more than that. A first-class army cannot be brought to a super-first-class level in the hands of Xu Jin. However, a second-rate army can be a first-class army in the hands of Xu Jin.

This is also the reason why Huan Qi let Xu Jin lead the army, although he is not good at marching and fighting, but he has enough knowledge of the ability of his generals.

Weishui is long, connecting things.

Hojing is the largest city in Yongzhou, and it is also the largest city in the world except for the divine capital. At its most prosperous, the city of Hojing alone, with millions of inhabitants, was the western capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the war, the number of residents in Hojing has dropped a lot, and after some maintenance by Huanwu, there are still five or six hundred thousand, which is two or three times the number of Xiancheng.

The 100,000 Liang troops left Haojing and entered Fufeng County, and the materials that could have been transported by water had to be changed to land because of the harassment of the naval army led by Tang Dafu.

Xu Jin was very aware of the situation on Liang Jun's side, and he also knew the thoughts of Liang Ting, especially Emperor Liang Huan.

Even if the nearly 300,000 troops in Yongzhou are now broken, it doesn't matter, the key is to consume the strength of the Zhou army as much as possible.

Huan Wu can take all the elites of the divine capital and confront Yang Xian in Cangqiu. And Huan Qi does not have this kind of courage, but it cannot but be said that his decision is wrong.

Because if you can really use this nearly 300,000 second- and third-rate army to consume the elite of the Zhou army, then it is the most cost-effective for Huan Qi. After that, the Liang armies in Shendu and Nanyang were able to surround and kill the Zhou army from both sides.

But for the hundreds of thousands of troops on this Cangqiu front, it was too cruel.

There was a roar of eagles in the sky, and Liang Jun's swift eagle arrived.

"General!"

"What?"

Liang Jun's school visitor took the message and hurriedly ran over.

"News has come from the defenders on the Meiguo side that a Shu army of about 6,000 horsemen has broken through our defense line and headed east."

"To the east?"

Xu Jin knows the topography of Yongzhou well, and he went to the southern suburbs of Haojing after leaving the Meiguo, could it be that this Shu army wants to surprise attack Haojing?

Xu Jin pondered, and then felt impossible. Most of the cavalry under Yang Xian should be Xiliang Iron Cavalry, although they are elite, but if they want to attack Hojing, it is a fool's dream. Most of Yongzhou's military strength is in Cangqiu, and a small part is in Haojing. As long as these two places are guaranteed not to be lost, then the Shu army can only copy at most, and cannot occupy Yongzhou.

If these 6,000 cavalry really dared to attack Haojing, and Xu Jin ordered the rear army to return to the division, then no matter how brave these 6,000 cavalry were, they would only reincarnate the food of the Liang army.

If it's not Hojing, what else is worth Yang Xian sending so much military power?

This question only turned in Xu Jin's mind, and he soon had an answer.

"Merchant Customs!"

Xu Jin woke up in shock, sat down and rode down, and a breath of white air erupted from his nose.

Yang Xian wanted to use these 6,000 horses to occupy Shangguan and cut off the connection between Nanyang and Yongzhou. And once his plan succeeds, then the 100,000 Liang troops in Nanyang are afraid that they will be trapped in Wancheng and will not be able to support Hojing.

"Immediately order the rear army to return to the division and support Shangguan."

Shangguan is a pass for purely military purposes, because it is the junction of Yongzhou and Nanyang, and belongs to the rear of the Liang army, so it has hoarded a lot of grain, grass and armaments.

If it is obtained by the Shu army, the current Liang army will not have the strength to seize it again.

"Can be a general......."

Before the general beside Xu Jin finished speaking, the sound of a horn faintly came from the back. A cavalryman came with his hooves raised, blowing the deadly trumpet.

"What's going on?"

It is impossible for these 100,000 troops to follow Xu Jin's side, the rear army is the latest to set off, and it also has the heavy responsibility of escorting supplies, and it is thirty or fifty miles away from Xu Jin's Chinese army.

This distance is not long, ordinary people may have to walk for a day, but for Liang Jun's cultivated sergeants, it is only a distance of an hour. If it's a rush, it's faster.

The knight who had come to tell the news soon approached, and when he looked closer, his face was still stained with soot.

"General, the Shu thief Qin Feng led the cavalry to attack the baggage team of our rear army and burned all the baggage."

"How many are there?"

"The subordinates don't know, it's all over the place."

If it is said that the thirty or fifty-mile infantry army will walk for an hour, then for an elite cavalry like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it will only take a quarter of an hour or two.

Not long after the cavalry had finished delivering the news, the horses' hooves rumbled. A large number of cavalry troops came from the rear, and while the Liang army was on guard, they stopped on the high slope several miles from Xu Jinzhong's army.

And Qin Feng, with a hundred cavalry, even broke through to a distance of 100 zhang from Xu Jin's main formation.

This is already a rather dangerous distance, Qin Feng is riding on a horse, holding Zhu Zi's purple tasseled star spear in his hand, he and Xu Jin, who had just disturbed the chaos of the Liang army, glanced at each other, left a laugh, and rode away.
