The army that forced Bai Jian to give up the final blow was none other than the forwards sent by Ji Ling to pursue before, Xu Chu and Chen Lan.

In fact, when Liu Feng began to act and the Fog Concealment Talisman Array failed, the Vision Talisman synchronized with it also failed, and the vast army of millions in the eyes of outsiders before suddenly dissipated, leaving only tens of thousands of people in the center.

Xu Chu's Tiger Guard Army was at the forefront, always paying attention to the Jiangdong Army, changing his life, and immediately learned the news. Seeing the millions of troops disappear under his nose, how could Xu Chu not know that he was deceived, his first thought was not to kill the tens of thousands of people in front of him in shame, there were only four big words in his mind - the back road was broken.

This is a fact, there are only tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops in front of them, and the rest are unknown where they are.

Without hesitation, Xu Chu, who had recovered from the shock, immediately got up and went to Chen Lan's camp more than ten miles away to meet Chen Lan.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, when Chen Lan came out to see Xu Chu with sleepy eyes, she was dissatisfied, the battle was continuous running, she was already very tired, and it was not yet time to fight, and this guy in front of her didn't even let herself sleep well. If there is nothing important, even if this guy is valued by His Majesty, he must be made good-looking.

However, after listening to what Xu Chu said, Chen Lan suddenly sobered up, and his face was ugly, as a battle-hardened general, he naturally meant something.

"In this case, if Captain Xu doesn't immediately move to wipe out the Jiangdong Army in front of him, what will he do here with General Ben?" Shocked by the bad news, Chen Lan hadn't thought of a countermeasure, so she had to drag Xu Chu into the water.

"The general thinks now is the time to destroy this small group of enemies in front of him?" Xu Chu asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Chen Lan to answer, he said again, "The situation in front of you is enough to show that General Ji's main force was ambushed by the Jiangdong Army. We only have 300,000 men, and even if we return now, we will be exhausted by the time we go such a long distance, and we will not be able to do anything at all, and we will be ambushed by the enemy. General, our back road is broken, it's time to decide. ”

"The tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops in front of us must be the most elite army, and the reason why there is no movement now is that we have an advantage. If we go to attack, they will resist resolutely; If we want to go back the way we came, to rescue General Ji, they will desperately drag us down. If we divide our forces, or those who remain will become the merits of the other side. And once the troops are divided, even if some of them rush back, it makes no sense. Xu Chu seems to be brainless, but he still understands his situation very well.

"What do you mean?" Chen Lan also calmed down.

"Take advantage of the fact that the main force of Jiangdong has no time to take care of us, and leave a group of people to block - General Yuming first, the last general will not take people to stay, drag the Jiangdong army in front of us, and then we will make a detour and march to Xuzhou." Xu Chu said, it's not that Xu Chu is afraid of death, but that Yuan Shu is not enough for Xu Chu to die for it, "If General Ji fails, Hefei will inevitably not be saved, and Your Majesty will naturally evacuate." Although the last general does not know the direction of His Majesty's departure, if His Majesty goes directly to Xuzhou, we may be able to catch up with him, which is also a credit. ”

Chen Lan didn't think of any good ideas, so she adopted Xu Chu's suggestion, leaving 100,000 troops to stay in the camp, and the rest all turned around, detoured to the east, and marched to Xuzhou.

It wasn't until Chen Lan and Xu Chu left that Wu Yin understood the enemy's plan, and while he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful: Yuan Shujun actually exceeded the expectations of the military advisor and fled without a fight, making them worry for a long time.

Although there were only tens of thousands of people, Wu Yin launched a counterattack against the 100,000 people left by Chen Lan, and soon broke through the simple camp and defeated Yuan Shu's army. It's just that at this time, it was too late to pursue Chen Lan and Xu Chu, and he was worried about the situation on the main battlefield, so Wu Yin took people back.

Because of the lack of troops, Liu Feng had no time to take care of Xu Chu and Chen Lan's Yuan army, so that they could leave safely, but in the end, they were able to catch up with the good time and have the merit of "saving the driver".

——

Not to mention how Yuan Shu rewarded Chen Lan and Xu Chu after returning to Pengcheng, Bai Jian returned with a large army, leveling several small cities on the way, subduing Yiren, and bringing most of the east of Hefei under Jiangdong's rule.

When Bai Jian entered the city, Liu Feng, who was in Hefei, breathed a sigh of relief. Although they judged that there would be no blind people to find fault, but with so many prisoners and so much territory to protect, Jiangdong had lost too many people in Hefei, and the troops were already stretched, and the elite of 500,000 could already play a key role.

Hefei has been lowered, Yuan Shu's strength has been greatly damaged, and the strategic goal has been achieved. Now the main problem is to hold the South Jiujiang River. Even if Yuan Shu wants to take revenge, it will have to wait until next year.

instructed good people to deal with Hefei affairs, and Liu Feng set his sights on Jiangdong, his home base.

There, war raged.

The rebellion within Jiangdong began in Jian'an, and then gradually expanded to Huiji and spread to Luling.

Lu Su's ability is sufficient, although he has only served as the Taishou of Lujiang for half a year, he has already controlled the overall situation, and the rebellion that affected Lujiang has not yet set off momentum, so it was quelled by Lu Su with the local county soldiers.

However, Luling also has limited troops, and it is more than enough to protect itself, and it is beyond its strength to support neighboring counties.

In Huiji and Jian'an, the rebels had already occupied several county seats.

The Jiangdong army has been fighting in Jiujiang for several months, and has drawn too many troops, and the two counties have insufficient troops, so they can only defend the city, and then ask for help from He Qi, who was left behind in Wu County.

However, after a long time, the army of Wu County did not come out, and He Qi has been busy strengthening his rule over Wu County, Danyang and other places, so as to avoid turmoil in these areas.

Wu County's sluggish response gave the rebel forces a boost of momentum. Shanyue, lord aliens, large and small guilds, unwilling wealthy clans...... Almost all the forces hostile to Koto jumped out.

When the news of Liu Feng and Yuan Shu's peace came, the rebels immediately gathered to discuss countermeasures, and the arrival of three million battle-hardened elites was by no means easy for them to resist.

But the plot developed unexpectedly. A moment ago, they were still excited that Yuan Shu sent a large army to pursue the Jiangdong army, and then immediately came the news that Ji Ling was ambushed, and it was not long before Hefei was captured by the Jiangdong army in the next year.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these millions of troops did not cross the river and returned, giving them plenty of time to prepare for the counterattack in Jiangdong.

But the problem is that the plot doesn't go the way they think.

The army of Hefei did not cross the river to judge, but He Qi had a secret army left to him by Liu Feng, the number was not large, only 500,000, as early as the beginning of the rebellion, he Qi was secretly transferred to Huiji. When those rebel forces were glad that Liu Feng did not send a large army back, He Qi also secretly arrived, and the Federation of Ji Taishou Gu Yong, Huiji Cheng Zhuge Jin, Huiji Du Wei Ling Cao, Jian'an Taishou Luo Jun, Jian'an Cheng Yan Ji, and Jian'an Du Wei Mi Fang launched an attack on those rebel forces.

From the very beginning, Huiji and Jian'an have been preparing for this day, and the equipment is very well prepared. In just over ten days, they broke through several county towns occupied by the rebels, broke millions of enemies, and wiped out all the rebel forces.

When the news reached Hefei, Liu Feng finally put his mind at ease. The inherent forces of Huiji Jian'an have been purged again, and they can finally build according to their own ideas.

And it's time for him to return to Koto.
