Sui County.

"General, the Shu army attacked our army's water village at night, and now it has broken through our defense line. The Dongzhou soldiers, the vanguard of the Shu army, were less than 100 miles away from the county seat of Qixian County. ”

Jin Xin is twenty-five or six, although he is a military general, his appearance is a little delicate. He looked at the map on the table, and was carefully studying the battle with several generals and colonels in the Black Fly Army. It was Jin Xin's deputy who came to report, Huan Zicong.

Huan Zi was never a member of the Black Fly Army, but a deputy general sent by Huan Zhong. Jin Xin didn't like to see this person who was a few years younger than him, and theoretically should be regarded as his brother-in-law.

Because this person is not familiar with military affairs, he always wants to intervene in the Black Fly Army to prove his existence, which is particularly annoying to Jin Xin.

"What's the panic?"

Huan Zicong was really flustered, and as soon as the defense line in front was broken, the Shu army could drive straight in.

"That's Yang Xian! He commanded 50,000 Shu troops, and in just one battle, he broke through the Dankou, which Uncle Zhong had been running for a long time. Now that our army has lost the danger that the periphery can be defended, how can this battle be fought? ”

Huan Zi made Jin Xin have a headache from the noise, and he had to be patient and comfort the deputy in front of him, who was like a frightened bird. Although Jin Xin didn't want to see Huan Zicong, he was his wife's cousin after all. Moreover, now is not normal, Jin Xin needs to keep this second-in-command confident. Otherwise, if the news goes out, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos.

"Yang Xian has 50,000 troops, and our army also has 50,000. But Yang Xian is on the offensive, and our army is on the defensive, so we already have an advantage. It took Yang Xian less than a day to capture Dankou, but it took ten days to capture our defensive line on the periphery. This speed is not fast. ”

Jin Xin explained, and Huan Zicong gradually calmed down.

At the beginning, Huan Zicong followed Xu Jin from the three brothers to attack Shu, if Xu Jin hadn't stopped him quickly, Huan Zicong would have been the same as his two brothers.

The impression that Yang Chun gave him that day was too terrifying. Since then, Huan Zi has been very afraid of the Shu army.

"So what do we do now?"

Although Huan Zi is usually good at pointing fingers, he also knows that at this time, he must listen to Jin Xin's words.

"General Zhengnan has sent a battle report, and the Chu army has been defeated."

"Then when will Uncle Zhong be able to come over?"

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in a short time." The Chu army was defeated, and the army's morale was in chaos, but the main force did not suffer much loss. Cai Tong is gathering the defeated troops, and he still has the strength to fight. General Zhengnan has already led the army to pursue and kill the Chu army, and if Cai Tong is not beaten back to Xiangcheng, he will not be honest. As for Yang Xian, we just don't take the initiative to attack, only stick to the walled cities around the county seat, and with the combat strength of our army, Yang Xian can't attack it in a short time. ”

Huan Zi got Jin Xin's reply, felt a little relieved, and walked out.

Jin Xin buried his head again in the military case, and the general of the Black Fly Army beside him said: "Lord, is it really okay for us to let Yang Xian in?" ”

In fact, it was not only Huan Zicong, but also the generals of the Black Fly Army beside Jin Xin who were also muttering, I don't know what direction this war will go in?

"It was not my idea to deliberately cut off the grain and grass of the front-line water village, and to find an opportunity to put the Shu army into the hinterland of Yuxian County, it was General Zhengnan."

"What?"

The faces of the generals of the Black Fly Army changed drastically, and their eyes were surprised.

"General Zhengnan wants to catch Yang Xian, but Yang Xian is in Dankou, how to catch him?"

The generals present all had a hint of understanding in their eyes. The Shu army is in Dankou, and no matter whether the Liang and Shu armies win or lose, Yang Xian is invincible.

Even if Huan Zhong was able to defeat the Chu army, there was no way to take Yang Xian. If the other party sees that the situation is not good, it is a big deal to lead the army back.

"But isn't the price too much?"

The generals of the Black Fly Army looked solemn and let the Shu army enter the county, even though Yang Xian left the turtle shell. But at the end of summer, the crops were about to be harvested. The hinterland of Sui County is mostly fields, and Huan Zhong did this, which was equivalent to giving up a large amount of grain and grass to the Shu army.

"There is no sweetness, how can Yang Xian take the bait?"

Jin Xin sometimes couldn't understand that Huan Zhong, the older generation of the Huan family, had an almost paranoid mentality towards Yang Xian. That's why Huan Zhong would do such a crazy thing as using 80,000 Liang troops against 150,000 Chu troops.

Even if that battle was won, Jin Xin couldn't help but shed a cold sweat behind him when he thought back at the moment. It's good to win, but if you lose, then it is equivalent to giving Nanyang to Cai Tong.

Such a big price even Huan Zhong couldn't afford it, but he still did it.

As Huan Zhong's subordinate, even if he knew that this plan was a bit crazy, Jin Xin couldn't help but abide by it. But what he didn't expect was that he showed his flaws, but it still took Yang Xian ten days to break through the outer defense line.

Yang Xian is really cautious!

"Under Yang Xian's command, in addition to the Changce Army, the strong ones belong to the Dongzhou soldiers and the Xiliang hussars. Now that the Dongzhou soldiers have appeared, where are the Xiliang hussars? ”

"Such an elite, you should follow Yang Xian's side."

Although the Xiliang Hussars are strong, after all, the number is too small, and it is impossible to let them fight independently.

"In other words, where is Xiliang Hu, Yang Xian should not be far away."

Before Jin Xin's words were finished, a voice sounded outside the house.

"General, there is important military information."

When Jin Xin took out the letter paper in the bamboo tube and read the information from the front line, his face changed greatly.

"General, what's wrong?"

"Yang Xian is in the Eagle Forest, and there are only eight hundred Xiliang Hussars by his side."

Yinglin is only thirty or forty miles away from the county seat of Yuxian County, and Yang Xian's behavior is too weird.

"Lord, will there be fraud?"

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "With the foot strength of the Shu army, only the Xiliang Hussars have this speed, and they can reach the Eagle Forest in a short time. There should be no mistake in this information. ”

Jin Xin didn't understand, what Yang Xian did this for? Even if the Xiliang Hussars could travel sixty or seventy miles in a day, there were only 800 people, what could they do before they broke through like this?

Can the cavalry still storm the city? Even if he can attack the city, his troops are not enough!

"Soldiers!"

No matter what, Jin Xin still decided to personally lead his troops to meet the prime minister of Shu for a while.

"Lord, is this too risky?"

"Adventure?"

Although Jin Xin is the commander of the Black Fly Army, he is also a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, and he is young and vigorous.

"Yang Xian only took eight hundred horsemen, and he dared to break through sixty or seventy miles, and he was about to reach our noses. He Yang Xian is not afraid, I have an army of 50,000 in my hand, in my own territory, will I still be afraid? ”

The generals and colonels present all knew in their hearts that at this time, the Shu army in the rear was in a hurry, and when Jin Xin led the army to the Eagle Forest, the shortest distance between the Black Fly Army and the Shu army behind was half a day.

Half a day is enough time to decide many things.
