The moonlight hangs and the branches sway gently.

A gust of wind blew, and the chill deepened again. In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Chang Yu was sitting in the study, suddenly disturbed, and looked out the window.

"It's been a good year!"

It's obviously a thing worth celebrating, but Chang Yu said that it was a little inexplicable.

"Lord, you ......."

"Ahh Did Liu Shoujie's head be sent to Cai Tong? ”

Liu Shoujie is the city guard of Wancheng, and he is also a nail buried by Cai Tong in Nanyang. The Zhou army attacked Yongzhou, and Qin Feng's 10,000 cavalry made Xu Jin's 100,000 army so that the guards could not take care of each other, and at the slowest time, they could only travel thirty miles a day.

The three armies of the Changce Army, the Zhichong Army, and the Black Fly Army all shot out together, and it only took two days to break through all the defense lines of Meng Qing outside Cangqiu City, and break 26 large and small camps, which would be under Cangqiu City.

Most of the 100,000 Liang troops in the outer defense line retreated into Cangqiu City. The Zhou army uprooted all the Liang army defense lines on the periphery, and now there was only one lonely city in front of Yang Xian.

People's hearts fluctuate, not only in Yongzhou, but also in the world. Liu Shoujie joined Cai Tong as a reinforcement for the Chu army to go north in the future. At this time, Chang Yu had to do something to stabilize the situation in Yongzhou and at the same time deter Cai Tong.

"Cai Tong has received it."

"This old fox should be able to live in peace."

For this prince who has guarded Chu for more than ten years and is on the side of the shock, Chang Yu can't say how much respect he has, and his tone is like dealing with some annoying pets.

Chang Yu touched his beard, and without Liu Shoujie's support, Cai Tong didn't dare to go north easily.

Cai Tong is certainly stable, but the trouble in Yongzhou has not been solved. Meng Qing did not complete the task he should have, and tried his best to hold back the Zhou army, and this year is another good year, which means that the war between Liang and Zhou can drag on for a long time.

The production land of the three counties in central Liangzhou, the thousands of miles of wilderness in Yizhou, are now in the hands of Yang Xian. According to reports, the grain fields near Xiancheng were ripe, and ships full of grain were transported to the front.

The Shu army opened up two grain routes, and the grain from Yizhou and Liangzhou could be sent to Cangqiu, which greatly supported the time for the Zhou army to attack. Now if you want to consume hard, it is not a good choice for Liang Jun.

And for the governor of Yongzhou, Chang Yu, who is in charge of this pickaxe capital, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

For Liang Jun, what is unfavorable to Huan Qi may not be unfavorable to Chang Yu.

"What a pity! Huan Chi is much more cautious than I thought! ”

For Chang Yu, if he can attract the 100,000 northern army that is the pillar of the Huan clan in the Shendu to the fullest, and fight with the Zhou army to defeat both sides, it will be the best result for him.

It's a pity that Huan Qi doesn't have Huan Wu's military ability, nor does he have the courage to do so. Huan Qi didn't trust anyone, even Huan Zhong and Huan Gong, the two generals of the Huan clan, and he always held the 100,000 troops of the Huan clan's pillar in his hands.

Huan Qi's prudence certainly caused a military mistake and was taken advantage of by the Zhou army, but it also firmly held the authority.

"Lord, the latest news, the Eagle Yang Army has arrived at Shangguan."

Yongzhou has nearly 300,000 troops, and Nanyang also has 100,000 troops, but now they are all in half, and they can't help each other.

Yang Xian's hand did not exceed Changyu's expectations. He thought that Yang Xian might send an army to capture Shangguan, but what he didn't expect was that Yang Xian would order the Yingyang army to go north after capturing Shangguan.

With the Eagle Yang Army stationed in Shangguan, Yang Xian has a little more power to use.

In this war, the Zhou army had the advantage, not only in terms of the combat strength of the infantry army, but also in the 16,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

With this force, the Zhou army could come and go at will on the Qianli Plain in Guanzhong, and cut off a whole Liang army without any scruples.

The terrain in Guanzhong is very suitable for the cavalry to spread, and the Liang army has no advantage in this regard, but is at an absolute disadvantage.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry can crisscross the north and south in one day, destroying the logistics base of the Liang army, and the grain and grass camp. In fact, under the command of Qin Feng, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was putting heavy pressure on the Liang army. Xu Jin's 100,000 troops, unbearable, have not yet reached Cangqiu.

"Governor, report from the front."

There was a noise outside the house, Chang Yu nodded to the person in front of the desk, and the other party's figure flashed and disappeared into the room.

Soon, the owner of the voice ran in, and it was Chang Yu, the general under the Grand Governor.

"What happened?"

"I just got the news that the Shu army divided its 30,000 troops, broke away from the encirclement of Cangqiu, and headed east."

But all the generals who know this news know very well what Yang Xian wants to do?

The combat strength of the Cangqiu defenders was far inferior to the 100,000 troops under Xu Jin's command, but compared to Cangqiu, which captured the strong walls of the city, Yang Xian still chose to defeat Xu Jin's reinforcements first.

"Does General Xu Jin know?"

"Xunying's news should reach General Xu Jin first, and he should be prepared at this time."

Chang Yu touched his beard and sighed slightly.

"It's that he is prepared, but he has to deal with the 30,000 Shu army and 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, but it's still very difficult!" Chang Yu stood up and said, "Tell General Chu Lian and let him lead the elite to attack Shangguan, even if he can't capture it, he must also contain the Yingyang army in Shangguan." In addition, send a letter to Your Majesty to report the situation in Yongzhou. ”

"The last general obeys!"

However, not long after this order was given, there was another noise outside the house.

"What's going on?"

Chang Yu still has some ability to govern the army, but the performance of these generals today is far below his expectations.

This time was different from just now, the general who walked in was like a mourner, came to Chang Yu, and knelt down with a plop.

"Metropolitan Governor, Cangqiu City is lost!"

"What did you say?"

Chang Yu asked urgently, his face full of anger.

"Meng Qing, the commander of Zhongdi County, threw himself into the Shu army, and under the combination of inside and outside, Cangqiu was lost an hour ago."

"No way. It was Meng Qing who rebelled, and there were still 30,000 southern troops in Cangqiu City, and they categorically would not rebel with Meng Qing. ”

"The Shu army attacked Cangqiu for several days, and they were tired up and down. Meng Qing used a trick to lure and capture all the generals in the southern army, and then opened the city gate and led the Shu army into the city. ”

Chang Yu sat down, and in front of the general, he took off the crown on his head.

"I understand, with immediate effect I will step down from the post of Grand Governor and wait for His Majesty's disposal. The affairs of Yongzhou were temporarily handed over to the deputy governor. ”

"The Grand Duke!"

The general wanted to say something, but all that was waiting for him was Chang Yu's expressionless face, he sighed, and finally retreated.

The study room became empty again, and after a while, Chang Yu's face had a hint of a smile.

"It is worthy of my Chang Yu's son, you are clean and neat, you really sold this Cangqiu City at a good price in Yang Xian."
