The white clouds are fluttering, and the Weishui is leisurely. Inside and outside the cangqiu, the camp is displayed.

Cangqiu is located at the intersection of Changshui and Weishui, and is an important transportation place to control the western part of Yongzhou. The water and land networks are intertwined, but now they are all over the banners of the Zhou and Liang armies, and there are no pedestrians.

50,000 Changce troops went south along Changshui, stationed in the northeast wilderness of Cangqiu, 50,000 Zhichong troops crossed Weishui, entered the southern suburbs of Cangqiu, and nearly 30,000 black army captured the water village west of Cangqiu. In addition, there are 10,000 sailors led by Tang Dafu and Li Fu, patrolling the waters day and night, cutting off aid inside and outside Cangqiu.

Cangqiu is a big city, a big city that requires hundreds of thousands of people to besiege. However, all such large cities have one characteristic: the walls are thick, and the internal and external defense measures are quite complete.

The Liang army garrisoned 150,000 troops in Cangqiu alone, and basically concentrated most of the troops in Yongzhou. The grain and grass reserves in Cangqiu City are abundant, enough for the 150,000 troops to spend more than a year, even if the connection between the inside and outside of Cangqiu is completely cut off, the Liang army in the city can still support it for a long time.

At this time, in the rear of the pickaxe, there were still 100,000 Liang troops from all over the Central Plains.

This is a tough battle, whether it is for the Zhou army outside the city or the Liang army in the city.

Meng Qing stood on the city wall and looked at the continuous banners of the Zhou army in the distance. Outside Cangqiu City, there are 26 camps of the Liang army, with a garrison of 100,000 people. These 26 camps were the defense line arranged by the Liang army according to the terrain outside Cangqiu City, in order to stop and consume the strength of the Zhou army, so that the Zhou army would be exhausted when they reached the city of Cangqiu.

After Huan Zishan's death, Meng Qing, the county guard of Zhongdi County, had become the highest military governor in Cangqiu City, and Liang Ting also acquiesced to this fact. Chang Yu sat in Haojing, stabilized people's hearts, and handed over all the military of Cangqiu to Meng Qing.

Marching and fighting, planning and exchange, it is like the Chu River and Han border, waving the army to fight.

The only difference is that the real situation is more complicated than the chess game, and people are not simple chess pieces that can be compared.

In this game of chess, the two sides seem to be evenly matched, and the Liang army's numerical advantage on the bright side is even more incomparable with the Zhou army. But in comparison, it is completely incomparable.

Yang Chun, Jin Xin, Yang An, Qin Feng, Tang Dafu........ These world-famous generals are all pawns under Yang Xian and are used by him.

The momentum of the Zhou army is like a rainbow, and it has just won Liangzhou, and it is about to capture Yongzhou in one go.

And the forces under Meng Qing are much thinner, and there is not even a general of the Liang army. Of course, if there is really a general of the Liang army here, it will not be Meng Qing's turn to be the county guard.

Meng Qing was very difficult to defend, and he needed to use his numerical advantage as much as possible to offset the opponent's combat power and delay the edge and time of the Zhou army's attack.

But Yang Xian also knows this. The Zhou army besieged three sides, leaving only this important place in the east, wasn't it just waiting for reinforcements from the Liang army?

Yang Xian knew the weaknesses, combat strength and morale of the 150,000 Liang troops stationed in Cangqiu. Defeating the morale of these 150,000 Liang troops was the most cost-effective offensive plan for the Zhou army.

And there was nothing more desperate for them than to let the soldiers in this city be reduced to a situation of isolation and helplessness, so the Zhou army opened its doors and waited to meet the 100,000 Liang army.

Zhou Jun regarded himself as combat power and did not take Liang Jun seriously at all, and Yang Xian also had this proud capital.

In today's world, only the elite of the northern and southern armies can compete with these hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops.

It's just that among them, the northern army, 100,000 is stationed in Shendu, 50,000 is in Nanyang, and the strength of the southern army, which is less than 30,000 in Cangqiu City, is too weak.

Both sides know each other's plans, and the rest is a competition of pure strength, and in terms of execution, Meng Qing is obviously inferior to Yang Xian in this aspect.

The early contest between the Zhou army and the Liang army was mostly for the transportation points on the periphery of Cangqiu, and there were no large-scale team battles.

The official battle was a day ago, and Meng Qing couldn't forget the scene at that time.

Just one day ago, the drums in the Zhou army camp shook the sky, and the army set out, just like a sleeping beast suddenly woke up. With the strongest posture, the Zhou army tore apart all the obstacles that dared to stand in front of them.

Seven villages in one day!

The defense line arranged by Meng Qing did not even have the qualifications to stop them. According to this situation, it will not take more than three days for these hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops to meet under Cangqiu City.

But even so, Meng Qing's expression was still light. It's not that Meng Qing isn't in a hurry, it's that it's useless for him to be in a hurry.

It's like the defense line he arranged, if it is purely from a military point of view, any general who comes to see it will praise it exquisitely.

But realistic offense and defense are not exams, and no matter how beautiful the answers are, they are useless. Under the powerful offensive of the Zhou army, three of the seven camps surrendered without a fight.

The white flag was put on without hitting!

In the first battle of Southern Zhou, most of the elite of the Yongzhou Army died in Shu, and even Huan Biao, the general of the Liang army, was not spared. Now the combat power of the Liang army in Yongzhou is uneven, and this is not something that Meng Qing can decide.

What Meng Qing could do was to boost morale and try to stifle these unfavorable factors.

"The county guard, the Metropolitan Governor has sent a message that the 100,000 Liang troops in the Hojing have set off, and it won't take two days to reach Cangqiu."

"Who's the leader?"

"General Xu Jin!"

"Is that him?"

Meng Qing muttered slightly, this leader was expected by Meng Qing.

Since the time of Huanwu, Xu Jin, the general, has been stationed in Shendu. However, since Huan Qi waited for the position, Huan Wu transferred back Huan Zhong and Huan Gong, the two generals of the Huan clan, Xu Jin's influence in Shendu was much smaller, and he was gradually squeezed to the edge of Shendu's military power.

But even so, Xu Jin is also a veteran who has been there since the Huan Wu era, and his status is respected.

After all, these 100,000 Liang troops were drawn from all over the Central Plains, and apart from Xu Jin, there was no suitable person among the Liang army who could unite them.

Since the army in Cangqiu City failed to go south to clean up Jin Xin's black army, Liang Ting's military plan was to consume.

Even if the military rations of Yongzhou and Shendu are exhausted, they can also be transported from all over the Central Plains. Using Cao Yun, the Liang army could even transport the grain and grass far away in Yangzhai to this Cangqiu City.

However, the current situation is no longer than before, the Zhou army has taken Liangzhou, attacking from both sides, the pressure on grain and grass has been much smaller, and the effect of this plan is not as significant as before.

"What's going on?"

Meng Qing woke up from his contemplation, but was awakened by layers of voices of harmony.

It was a sound coming from the Zhou army's camp, and the momentum was even more fierce than when the Zhou army attacked yesterday.

Meng Qing's face changed, and he was surprised in his heart.

Could it be that Yang Xian had already settled the matter in Liangzhou so quickly and led the army to reach outside Cangqiu City?
