The autumn wind blows, with the tail of summer, sweeping all over the Xiangshui defense line.

Back then, this line of defense, which was related to the life and death of the Chu State, has now become a few figures.

The Liang army took advantage of the Liangzhou army to defend against the demons outside the Yang Jue Pass, and attacked Liangzhou by surprise, not only capturing Wuwei, but also killing Zhu Zi. Just when the world thought that the Liang army had firmly taken Liangzhou, the Zhou army suddenly went north, not only solved Huan Zishan within a few days, but also drove all the Liang troops out of Liangzhou.

The wind and rain in the world changed abruptly, and tens of thousands of Zhou troops invaded Yongzhou and surrounded Cangqiu. As a secondary battlefield of the Yongzhou War, Nanyang was also quite lively at this time.

"Lord!"

Cai Tong's long white beard fluttered in the wind, and he walked slowly on the bank of Xiangshui, surrounded by no one around. This was once the most dangerous battlefield, and in the years when the Liang army was at its most fierce, Cai Tong bet almost all his belongings on it.

Cai Tong understands that as soon as the Xiangshui defense line is broken, then there is only one way to wait for Chu State.

But it's only been a few years! This place has become a place where no one cares, and Cai Tong suddenly feels a little heroic and lonely.

was originally a cavalry general under Zhu Zi, but now Ling Chuan, who is now a general of the Zhou army, won Shangguan. The Eagle Yang Army then went north and wanted to enter Yongzhou, but Chu Lian, the general stationed in Wancheng, sensed the crisis and immediately took action.

Chu Lian naturally knew what the consequences would be once the Eagle Yang Army entered Yongzhou, so he wanted to intercept it at all costs.

But although the Yingyang army only had 6,000 people, and they fought and left, the 100,000 army of Nanyang could not stop it. The Battle of Nanyang entered a rather white-hot situation from the very beginning.

"Wen Qing! Do you think I'm doing something wrong? ”

Whether it is Tong Gu or Ying Yangjun, they used to be Fan Qing's old department, and most of them were from Jingzhou. If Cai Tong had such a powerful army under his command at this time, why would he be in such an embarrassing situation.

At that time, Huanwukeng killed 50,000 Chu troops, so that the vitality of the Chu State was greatly damaged, so that now the sequence of the Chu army is all water army.

This force is more than enough for defense, but it is far from enough to go north to fight for the Central Plains, even the second-rate army in the Liang army is enough to deal with.

"My lord! Today's right and wrong are obviously not what could be expected back then. ”

Wen Qing's voice was a little lacking, and he wanted to comfort him, but the old man in front of him, who was getting thinner and thinner, smiled to himself.

"Wen Qing, you are still an honest man!" Cai Tong touched the back of his hand, so thin that he could feel the white bones, and said leisurely, "Tong Gu!" ”

Cai Tong had met him a few times, and his impression was not very good. Unexpectedly, decades passed, and the other party appeared in front of the world in this way.

Grand Master!

Chu Lian poured out 100,000 people and wanted to besiege and kill Tong Gu. Then judging from the battle report from the front, Chu Lian was still a little weaker after all.

Chu Lian and Tong Gu fought seven battles, none of which were won. The largest battle took place before the Eagle Yang army marched north into the Shangshui Valley, where it was besieged by the main force of the Liang army.

In that battle, two thousand Liang troops were killed by the arrows of the Yingyang army, and the Chu Lian army was broken through the defense line by the Tong Drum army.

Chu Lian was brave and well-planned, surrounded by a large army, and took advantage of the open terrain to besiege Tong Gu, but after all, he was broken by the other party. After the end of this battle, the Yingyang army had already entered the Shangshui Valley, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and the Liang army had no chance.

"What's going on over there in Wu Guo?"

"Hou Tao, the lord of Wu, rejected Huan Qi's edict to be crowned king, but at the same time asked Huan Qi for a county in Luyang."

"It is said that the cubs of the Hou family are tigers, but they also have such a cunning side."

"What do you mean?"

"The Liang army built a city in Luyang, and it has been a small success. Wu Jun came out of Stone City and went to Luyang City along the waterway. If this city is not pulled out, then the Wu army wants to go north to Xuzhou, then it may be cut off by the defenders in Luyang City at any time. Hou Tao regarded Huan Qi as a big wrongdoer, and wanted to knock on a stroke as much as possible. ”

"Huan Qi shouldn't agree."

"He wouldn't say yes. Luyang City was built by order of Huan Wu, and it was the most important line of defense of the Liang army on the border of Wu. But if he doesn't give it, Hou Tao will also take it. And now, taking advantage of the battle between the Shu army and the Liang army in Yongzhou, the Liang army is too busy to take care of itself, which is the best time. ”

"But the Wu army has no signs of moving as a whole army!"

"Hou Tao didn't move, that's because he was guarding against me. When Hou Tao was afraid that he would seize Luyang City, our army went down the river and took away the foundation of his Hou family. ”

The Liang army had 100,000 troops in Nanyang, and the main object of defense was the state of Chu. In Nanyang alone, the number of the Chu army far exceeded that of the Liang army. And the threat posed by the Chu army is definitely not comparable to Tong Gu's 6,000 Eagle Yang Army.

Huan Qi transferred 100,000 Liang troops from the Central Plains, reducing the Liang army's military strength on the border of Wu and Chu to a fairly low level.

However, the defeat of the Liang army in Liangzhou, and Yang Xian's unhesitating attack on Yongzhou after capturing Liangzhou, brought about the consequences that were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Above the water, the water swirls. A figure floated up quietly, which made Wen Qing stunned.

"Who is it?"

Just as Wen Qing wanted to call the guards, the figure landed on the shore, carrying a bloody human head in his hand.

"Dignified Chuhou, but now he has become like this."

Cai Tong waved his hand, and a pair of sharp eyes glanced at the human head in his hand.

"Wancheng City Guard Liu Shoujie!"

Wen Qing was a little puzzled, thinking that Cai Tong was talking about the person in front of him, but found that Cai Tong's eyes were staring at the head.

"Chu Hou is worthy of being a hero in the world, my master said, on the occasion of the Liangshu War, people's hearts are floating. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, this person is mentioned to see. ”

"What do you mean?"

Wen Qing shouted, not understanding what the other party wanted to do with the head of this important character in the Liang army?

Cai Tong stretched out his hand and stopped Wen Qing again.

"Who is the master of your house?"

Cai Tong's eyes flashed with murderous intent. The man paused slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, my master has no malicious intentions, he just wants to avoid unnecessary trouble!" ”

"Your master doesn't want our army to attack Nanyang. It's just, is a Liu Shoujie's head enough? ”

"Master Hou is a smart person, so he should naturally know the current situation. With the power of the Chu State, it is not yet possible to take Nanyang, let alone the world? The seal of the king of Chu, isn't it enough? ”

The person in front of him was arrogant to Cai Tong, and he didn't even take Cai Tong in his eyes at all.

On the shore of Xiangshui, Cai Tong left a sneer, but the figure of that person had already disappeared into the current.

"Lord, that man is ......."

Before Wen Qing's words were finished, Cai Tong said indignantly.

"Chang Gengyu!"
