Chapter 250: Vicious Beasts
Ho Kyo.
Expedition to the West General's Mansion.
Huan Wu stood in front of Huan Biao's handsome case and didn't say a word. As soon as he got the information, Huan Wu gathered all his cronies to his side.
In the spring of the eighth year of Yonghe, Chu General Wenqing went out of Qingyang and fought a big battle with the Fei Lian Army, when the victory was not decided. Cai Tong personally led the army across Xiangshui and attacked the Zhao Gong army, and Nanyang was in chaos for a while.
Almost at the same time, Hou Shen, the lord of Wu, led 50,000 troops out of Stone City, went up along the Huaishui, captured three cities, and entered Xuzhou.
These two battles took place thousands of miles apart, but no one would believe that there was no connection.
A Marquis of Chu and a Lord of Wu, although they have been persecuted by Huan Wu over the years, they can only barely protect themselves, and they look very embarrassed.
Don't forget, being able to survive under Huan Wu, the overlord who holds the seven states of the Central Plains, is a symbol of strength in itself. The timing of their choice of action was very clever.
If Huan Wu was not their opponent, he wanted to high-five and praise him at the moment.
At this moment, on the front line of Zhounan County, Yang Xian was recalled to Xiancheng by Xia Gongni for some reason, and Yang Chun was also in Nanzhong City, so he had no intention of setting off to meet the enemy.
Yang Ping's Changce army fought several small battles with the Liang army, with fewer victories and more defeats. Yang Ping is Yang Chun's righteous son, but he is not very famous in the Shu army, and he is far less popular than Yang An, who is now leading the army.
Yang Ping wanted to fight Huan Biao, but now it still looks too tender.
And at this time, it is a good time, the Quegu Road has been opened, and Huan Wu can lead the elite to set off from Hojing to Nanzhong. At that time, the number of Liang troops in Zhounan County will exceed 200,000.
At this moment, Yang Chun is sitting in Nanzhong, which is also an overwhelming advantage for the Shu army. The Shu army was far from being able to compare with the Liang army, not only because of the number of troops, but also because of the resilience of the Liang army.
But Cai Tong and Hou Shen were like this, and Huan Wu couldn't make any moves. Cai Tong and Hou Shen were only tentatively attacking at the moment, but if Huan ignored them and they sniffed out the opportunity, I am afraid that it would lead to chaos in the Central Plains.
Therefore, Huan Wu must lead a large army to sit in Hojing at this moment, and if there is a change in the Central Plains, he can also support in time. At the same time, it can play a deterrent role on the Wu and Chu armies.
"I didn't expect that Cai Tong and Hou Shen would give Yang Xian face like this and choose to do it at this time?"
The situation in the world has become very delicate, Cai Tong and Hou Shen, who have been suppressed by Huan Wu over the years, look like grandsons.
However, the staff of Huan Wu present knew very well that these two people were not good people, but the most vicious beasts. If they were allowed to smell blood, they would not hesitate to bite off a large piece of meat from Liang Jun's body.
"My lord, there is information from the front. Yang Xian gave Pingling to Cai Tong. Moreover, he also let the summer palace of the king of Shu make the fourth son of the lord of Wu, Hou Quan, the prince's husband. ”
Zhao Ye walked out of the queue, although Huan Wu didn't care much, but Zhao Ye's tone was not relaxed. The situation in the Central Plains has not yet developed to the point of being out of control. Even, as long as Huan Wu is in charge of Hojing, the situation will not develop to the point of being out of control.
But this is what Yang Xian wants. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give Pingling to Cai Tong, and even planned to lure the wolf into the room. Zhao Ye was very aware of all this, but he didn't understand what Yang Xian wanted to do?
The generals and strategists in the Liang army all said that Yang Xian was afraid, so he did not hesitate to do so. But Zhao Ye didn't believe it. He also believed it, and Huan Wu wouldn't believe it either.
"Lord, Yang Xian is unpredictable. At this time, the elite of our army couldn't get out of the pickaxe capital. He also asked the lord to give an order to General Huan Biao, telling him to be cautious and focus on defense. ”
As soon as Zhao Ye's words were finished, someone walked out.
"My lord, now that our army is gaining momentum, if you don't move forward in this move. I'm afraid that people in the world will think that our army will be defeated after Baocheng Pass, so they are afraid of Yang Xian. ”
"My lord, General Huan Biao led more than 100,000 troops, and every day they were transported from Haojing to the Qihe military camp through hundreds of miles of Shu Road. Yongzhou is rich, and our army has accumulated some in the past ten years, but it can't go through such a long period of attrition. ”
Whether it was the staff or the generals who came out, they all opposed Zhao Ye's defensive countermeasures. These people have no personal enmity with Zhao Ye, and some of them have a good relationship with Zhao Ye, but they all refute Zhao Ye from different starting points.
Without it, even if the Liang army and the Shu army can really afford it, no one wants to get to this point unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, that is the wealth they have accumulated bit by bit in the past ten years of the Central Plains Pacification.
At this moment, Wu and Chu are making trouble on the border, and no one can predict how long this riot that will drag on the Central Plains will last. Could it be that if the war on the border does not subside as soon as it subsides, will they continue to work with Yang Xian?
Now in front of them, there is obviously a great certainty that they can defeat the Shu army, so why drag it out?
Huan Wu knew that they were right, but he also knew that Zhao Ye's method was the safest. Huan Wu was uncertain, and he had to pay attention to everyone's opinions.
This is the human heart!
"Father, son, please sit in the camp of the Seven Rivers."
At this moment, Huan Jue walked out and said with a solemn face. Huan Jue invited Ying to fight, and to everyone's surprise, Huan Wu was even more hesitant.
The news of Chu Wu's successive dispatch of troops has spread to the Qihe camp, although letting Huan Jue go to the Qihe camp at this time does have the effect of stabilizing the army's morale and boosting morale. Even, if you can do it in one go, there is no possibility of defeating the Shu army, it can be regarded as a wonderful move. Huan Youji saw Huan Wu's hesitation, walked out of the queue, and said: "The last general can follow the plan and attack from the side of the Shiyang Trail to help the eldest prince." ”
At the beginning, Liang Jun wanted to attack Shu with a three-way army, which caught Yang Xian off guard. As a partial army, and also a strange army that can directly penetrate the henchmen of the Shu army at a critical time, Huan Youji's army is the latest to set off. But when he arrived in Yongzhou, the news of Zheng Da's defeat had already come from the front.
Because of this, Huan Youji's partial army did not set off for a long time, stayed by Huan Wu's side, and was stationed near Hojing.
"What is the situation at Shiyang Road crossing at this time?"
"The last general has already investigated, and there is only a partial army stationed nearby, and there is not even a number, and the main general is an old man with a little-known name. It seems that Yang Xian didn't take precautions, so he only sent a miscellaneous team to be stationed there. The last general only led 20,000 elites to attack the Shu army from Shiyang Dao, and he could easily occupy the eastern part of Zhounan County. ”
Huan Wu nodded, but he was still a little cautious.
"Huan Jue, you take 50,000 elites and make peace with Huan Biao. Remember, Yang Chun is in Nanzhong City, so be careful. After speaking, Huan Wu looked at Huan Youji, "Youji, Shiyang Road is dangerous, if you can't do it, don't force it." ”
"Erchen (the last general) obeys the order!"
