That night, Cheng Zhijun quietly touched Ruoyang Town. Liu Chengzhi ordered Li Xiuqi to take the lead, climbed the fence, put down the garrison, and as soon as the fence gate was opened, more than 400,000 Chengzhi troops rushed in.

Han Qi was immediately awakened, thinking that it was just a small group of harassment, but who knew that it was the main force of the Chengzhi Army, and after a while, the troops were rushed to pieces, and he was also captured by the Yunli Army.

Liu Chengzhi guarded the granary and built more defensive measures around it, just waiting for the Geshu army to come to the rescue.

When Norton Huqi heard that the granary was occupied, he still thought that it was just a small group of soldiers and horses harassing him, so he sent another 200,000 cavalry to rescue the emergency.

Liu Chengzhi did a good job of ambushing between Ruoyang Town and Anyang City, and adopted the strategy of encircling the point to help. Waiting for the Geshu army to enter the ambush circle, using rockets to shoot, at this time it was early autumn, the weather was dry, the grass on the ground was on fire, it was blown by the autumn wind, the fire battle was strong, most of the Geshu reinforcements were burned to death, and the rest were captured.

At this time, Norton Hu Qi knew that the main force of the Chengzhi Army was in Ruoyang Town, and he was angry. After careful counting of the soldiers under him, there were less than 500,000, and they had long lost the absolute advantage they had at the beginning, and their morale was extremely low. I wanted to lead the main force to attack Ruoyang Town, but I didn't know how many people and horses there were in Anyang City, and I was afraid that I would be attacked by the enemy on my back, so I always felt that it was neither advance nor retreat, and I was in a dilemma.

At this time, Liu Chuan and Zhang Shuwen were leading 200,000 soldiers and horses to kill Jinling City. There were already spies who reported the information to Jinling. Shangguan Yunquan summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and asked about countermeasures.

Wang Hanchen said: "According to the report of the spies, the Geshu army that came to attack this time was led by the famous general Liu Chuan, and the momentum was quite huge. ”

Shangguan Yunqing asked: "I don't know which Aiqing is willing to lead the three armies and eliminate this gang for the Great Jin!"

Sima Wu came out and said: "The last general is willing to go!"

Shangguan Yunjing frowned, and said, "Aiqing, it is not a trivial matter to lead the three armies, I don't know what strategy you have to retreat from the enemy?"

Sima Wu said: "Although the enemy army is strong, fortunately, our army has already had a rear hand, and at present, our army is still full of millions of people, and the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, even if they fight hard, they will not suffer!"

When Wang Chengwen heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "General Sima, don't have the intention of underestimating the enemy, this Liu Chuan is okay to say, Zhang Shuwen, who came with him this time, is known as Xiao Zhang Liang, and he is an extremely difficult strategist to deal with, Geshu Wuji has contributed a lot to the capture of the Central Plains, and Taiwei Liu has also repeatedly fallen for his treacherous schemes!"

Sima Wu laughed and said, "Mr. Wang, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!"

Shangguan Yunquan didn't know much about military affairs, so he didn't make a sound, and seeing that the two were arguing, he also felt that it was difficult to make a decision, so he asked Wang Hanchen: "What is your opinion?"

Wang Hanchen said: "What Mr. Wang said is reasonable, don't have the intention of despising the enemy, General Sima has lost his words!"

When Sima Wu heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Shangguan Yunjing asked again, "Mr. Wang, who do you think can lead the three armies this time?"

Wang Chengwen said: "General Zhu Shanchang of the old department of the Chengzhi Army is quite wise, General Liu Yan is extremely brave, and General Liu Xiaoqi is cautious.

When Shangguan Yunguan heard this, he had a plan in his heart, and he didn't answer, and asked again, "What do you think?"

Sun Qingqi came out and said: "The last general in Jiangnan has heard many times that General Zhu Shanchang Zhu is good at defending the city, General Liu Yan is good at attacking, and General Liu Xiaoqi is careful in his actions.

Wang Hanchen said: "These three people do have certain strengths, but none of them have led the army alone. Commanding an army is not a trivial matter, and I hope to consider it again!"

Wang Hanchen said: "General Sima Wu is an old minister of the imperial court, who has gone on many expeditions and has rich experience, I recommend Sima Wu!"

Shangguan Yunquan ordered: "Sima Wu listens to the order!"

Sima Wu hurriedly knelt down.

"You will lead an army of millions, go out of Jinling, and fight with the Geshu army!"

It was the fifteenth day, and after nightfall, the moonlight was bright and clear, and the ground was white, and dozens of feet could be seen at a glance.

Wang Chengwen walked slowly down the street, came to a mansion on Qianmen Street in Jinling City, and knocked on the door.

A housekeeper poked his head out and asked, "Who are you?"

Wang Chengwen said: "Wang Chengwen, the waiter in the lower rite department, ask to see Sun Qingqi Sun!"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please go to the living room and sit first, and the little one will go and announce!"

After a while, Sun Qingqi came out of the living room from the inner room, and after greeting the guests and hosts, Wang Chengwen said: "General Sun, do you think the defense of Jinling City this time is foolproof?"

Sun Qingqi said: "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this, could it be that you are not satisfied with His Highness's arrangement?"

Wang Chengwen said: "It's a gaffe!"

The two were silent for a long time.

Wang Chengwen said again: "The eight states in the south of the Yangtze River were originally rich for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that after half a year of stability, it would be in dire straits!"

After saying that, Wang Chengwen got up to leave.

Sun Qingqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, go slowly!"

Wang Chengwen stopped his pace and said, "General Sun, looking for you today is really for the sake of tens of millions of Li people in the south of the Yangtze River, not for my own selfishness! Can you and I talk with an open mind?"

Sun Qingqi said: "We, the old departments in the south of the Yangtze River, only know that last year's war was ignited by your Chengzhi Army!"

Wang Chengwen said: "Lord Sun, you are also from Jiangnan, you should know that Li Xunlong is in a corner of peace, and when the world is divided, he only knows how to do personal pleasure, regardless of the people's suffering, and is powerful and blessed in Jiangnan, you should see all this." ”

Sun Qingqi did not answer.

Wang Chengwen said again: "With this Sima Wu leading the troops, I am afraid that within January, the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River will fall into dire straits!"

Sun Qingqi said: "Could it be that Lord Wang has any good strategy to break the enemy?"

Wang Chengwen said: "There is no good strategy to break the enemy, I just want General Sun to recommend an old Jiangnan department!"

Sun Qingqi said: "Why didn't Lord Wang recommend it himself?"

Wang Chengwen sighed and said, "Lord Sun is also an understanding person, isn't the situation in the court still unclear?"

Sun Qingqi said: "I don't know who asked me to recommend?"

Wang Chengwen said: "Liu Xingshen is Lord Liu, and now only this person has the means to turn things around!"

Yangjiang, traversing the boundary of Jinling until Yangjiang Province, the 60,000 Geshu army bypassed the main force of the Yunli army in Anyang City, went upriver along the Yangjiang River, reached the Wuyi section, and stationed down.

At this time, Sima Wu led a million troops, quickly assembled in the direction of Wuyi, and confronted the Geshu army.

Sima Wu sat on the top of the handsome position, only feeling majestic, in a good and unhappy mood, and convened his subordinates to discuss the matter of entering the army.

The adjutant general said: "General, our army's current strength is twice that of the other party, and it is in an absolute advantage, and it will be delayed with the enemy army for a long time, I am afraid that His Highness will not be happy in his heart, so it is better to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible!"

Sima Wu nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "What General Yu said is extremely true!"

Adjutant General Li Jin and Ran in and out of the column and said: "General, the enemy's arrival is unknown, don't underestimate the enemy!"
