In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Hong Zaixing of Yan sent 500,000 troops, known as one million, and the army invaded south.

……

Gangneung, Han Tingzhi recruited his ministers of civil and military affairs.

"If so, how? Jing Huai's naval army has been ready! ”

Jiang Ruoxu was wearing an ink-colored robe, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, after a year of preparation, the 200,000 Jinghuai Navy has long been high-spirited!" ”

Han Tingzhi nodded and looked at the attendant beside him, and opened his mouth to say, "Three treasures, take the lonely tiger talisman." ”

Zheng He replied: "No! ”

From time to time, Zheng He took Han Tingzhi's tiger talisman, Han Tingzhi took the tiger talisman, and then handed it to Jiang Ruoxu, took Jiang Ruoxu's hand, and said: "Hong Zaixing is the royal driver, and the widow can't, this Jiangling will be handed over to Ruoxu, and the tiger talisman will be handed over to Ruoxu, and all military and political affairs are hard work!" ”

Jiang Ruoxu took the tiger talisman, his face was full of emotion, and he looked at Han Tingzhi sincerely: "Your Majesty! Be careful along the way! ”

Han Tingzhi looked at his eldest son Han Pi again: "The prince assists the prime minister, ask your father more about everything!" ”

Han Pi nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, the child will ask his father for advice." ”

Jiang Ruoxu also hurriedly spoke: "The old minister will have the power to assist the prince!" ”

Han Pi faced Jiang Ruoxu and said, "Thank you, Father!" ”

……

Dingcheng, the East General's Mansion!

Zuo Houde looked at the surrounding generals and said: "The spies have come to order, Hong Zaixing and Han Tingzhi are both royal pilots, and both sides are known as millions of troops, and the opportunity for me to sit and wait has arrived!" ”

When the rest of the people heard Zuo Houde's words, they couldn't help but show nervousness and excitement on their faces.

Zuo Houde then spoke: "I thought there would be a battle in half a year, but I didn't expect that I would wait for a full year, but it's okay, more than half a year, the army we are waiting for is also more elite, and the tiger squat artillery is all over the army, I can't imagine the possibility of losing this battle!" This battle will be won! ”

"Victory!" The generals said in unison.

"At this time, we will divide the soldiers into two ways, where is Shi Wansui?"

"The last general!" A tall, thin man stood up.

"I order you to be the marshal of the left road, Pang Jie, Wen Zaigong, Song Xunlong, Geng Bisheng and other four people are deputy marshals, raise 200,000 troops, attack Hanzhou, I will give you three months! Three months must take Hanzhou! ”

"No!"

"Where is Zhang Yuan!"

"The last general!" Zhang Yuan got up and clenched his fists and said.

"You are the marshal of the right road, Guan Chaoping, Sun Lixing, Ran Xia, and Li Yu are the deputy marshals, raise 200,000 troops, attack Qingzhou, two months! I will only give you two months, and you will get Qingzhou! ”

"No!"

Zuo Houde looked at everyone: "I personally sit in the southeast, this time it must be fast!" This victory! We can build a nation! Princes and generals, you are all! ”

"No!"

……

Jingzhou, Dayan Barracks.

Hong Zaixing sat in the big tent, surrounded by Dayan's high-level generals.

Hong Zaixing looked at the many generals in front of him and said, "I'm not good at water warfare, what can I do!" ”

"Your Majesty, we can connect the ships together with iron cables, so as to form a balance, and when the time comes, we can reduce the disadvantage of water warfare."

Hong Zaixing looked at the person who said this, this person is Gongsun Li, born in the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and he is the old man next to Hong Zhenbei, and he didn't scold, so he said lightly: "Old general, iron cable ships are taboo in soldiers, and the old general is afraid that he is confused!" ”

Hong Zaixing spoke again: "But there is still a way? ”

Everyone didn't speak, and at this time, Hong Kunming clenched his fists and said: "Father, why bother attacking the enemy's strength with my shortness, I might as well bypass Nanjing, go straight to Tongguan, and wait for you to arrive in Han Ting!" ”

Hong Kunming is Hong Zaixing's eldest son, and he is known as a virtuous person in Youzhou, and Hong Zaixing brought him here this time to establish his prestige in the army.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, so we don't want to retreat to Guanzhong!" A veteran spoke.

Retreating to Tongguan means giving up this place in Huaibei, and at the same time changing the attack to defense, waiting for Han Tingzhi to attack.

Hong Kunming looked indifferent and continued: "Han Tingzhi must take Guanzhong first, and we will wait for him in Guanzhong, and then his naval army will become a useless army."

When Hong Zaixing heard his son's words, his face was silent, but he secretly said in his heart, the men of his Hong family are all military masters: "Reasonable, retreat to Tongguan." ”

……

Nanjing, Lü Xiaoxian military camp.

"What, Hong Zaixing retreats to Tongguan! Report this news to Your Majesty! Lu Xiaoxian received the news and immediately said.

At night, Han Tingzhi, who was still in Huainan and was on the way to Nanjing, received the news, and he was also stunned, he didn't expect Hong Zaixing to retreat to Tongguan, but Guanzhong had to be obtained.

So Han Tingzhi gritted his teeth, "Pass the order, order the general to conquer the north, strictly guard Nanjing and wait for our army to come, you must be careful of deception!" ”

……

At this time, Zuo Houde was still in Dingcheng, he didn't know where Nanjing was no longer the main battlefield, the battlefield had become Guanzhong, at this time Zhang Yuan, Shi Wansui two armies were heading towards Hanzhou, Qingzhou, Zuo Houde also looked forward to this battle can be smooth.

This battle is a battle for Hong Zaixing and Han Tingzhi for the reunification of the north and the south, and for Zuo Houde, it is not the best time to dominate the world, and Zuo Houde can be said to have everything.

Zuo Houde operated in Dingcheng for eight years and became a small prince, and this battle determined whether Zuo Houde could take advantage of Hong Zaixing's main force to still be in the south, swallow the elephant with a snake, swallow Hanzhou and Qingzhou with the southeast of the country, and truly become the overlord of the world.

Time passed quickly, and it was seven days in a blink of an eye, and Han Tingzhi arrived in Nanjing in these seven days, and at the same time confirmed that Hong Zaixing really retreated to Tongguan.

Han Tingzhi looked at Lu Xiaoxian beside him, and said: "Xiaoxian, Hong Zaixing changed from offense to defense and retreated to Tongguan, what do you think of this move?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked up at Han Tingzhi and said: "Your Majesty, Hong Zaixing is a military master, and Hong Zaixing wants to abolish my water army, but in Weichen's opinion, this move has advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, retreating in fear of war will inevitably hurt morale, and secondly, Hong Zaixing retreated to Tongguan and gave Huaibei to our army, which is equivalent to giving our army a transit station, and our army has continuous food and grass, so that the chances of winning the southern expedition to the north are a few points greater. ”

Han Tingzhi looked at Lu Xiaoxian, smiled, and said, "The lonely general is really microscopic, and he can always find the flaws of the enemy!" ”

Lu Xiao first hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty has won the award!" ”

Han Tingzhi pulled out the sword on his waist, handed it to Lu Xiaoxian and said, "This is the sword of the Son of Heaven, Xiaoxian is willing to be the sword of the lonely king!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian immediately knelt on one knee, took the long sword handed by Han Tingzhi, and said, "Dare not obey your life!" Lu Xiao is willing to use this sword first. ”

Han Tingzhi patted Lu Xiaoxian's shoulder and said: "This sword has not yet been named, from today onwards it will be named Yitian, and you have to rely on the heavenly sword to cut the dragon across the sea!" ”

Lu Xiao raised the sword first and said, "The minister is obsessed with the sky, and he will kill the flood and rejuvenate it!" ”

Han Tingzhi laughed three times: "Okay! When the army is opened, it will take Tongguan! ”
