Chapter 232: A Game with Only One Winner

Jin An was right, in order to fight the Northern Tang, he operated almost everything in secret.

Since the gamble has begun, no one should quit, whether it is Jin An or General Weiyuan.

Even Li Zenan.

If it's a game, then it's a game of death, and if it's a game, then it's a knockout, and in the end only the one winner is left behind.

During the period when General Weiyuan defeated Jin An's troops several times.

On the tenth day of June in the first year of Kaiyuan in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the 18th Route Rebel Army besieged Jiangcheng, which had not been captured by the Northern Tang Dynasty for a long time.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Yueshan, the remnant general of the fallen area of Southern Wu, led an army of 20,000 troops that had been painstakingly organized in secret to raid Yangzhou City.

On June 11 of the first year of Kaiyuan in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Xiangyang Assassin sent his troops to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack the Northern Tang army attacking Xiangyang.

On June 14 of the first year of the Northern Tang Dynasty, more than 30 rebel armies of all sizes attacked Luzhou.

……

In the time before and after, the rebel armies and local armies in various parts of Southern Wu seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, and no matter how terrible the opponent was, they just bit back into the past, quite a state of madness that never stopped.

What few people know is that during this period of time, that one institution operated day and night - the Southern Wu Secret Mansion.

Once the Southern Wu was scattered, it would collapse sooner or later, but the institution had struggled to connect its various parts together.

Now, the north and south of the river have turned into a chess game, everyone is a chess piece, and at the same time a chess player, they are closely connected, since they are in the game, then no one wants to run.

Jin An didn't think that he could get out, so he was ready to die in the bureau, or General Weiyuan to die in the bureau.

In fact, after Jinling was breached, all parts of Southern Wu were vulnerable, except for the indispensable army of the Northern Tang Dynasty, that is, all parts of the country fought separately, and there was no unified coordination, and now, it finally is.

The wheels of history are rolling, and many decisions will limit the fate of countless people, and now, this is just the beginning!

……

……

After pursuing Jin An and losing a third of the opponent's troops, General Wei Yuan finally stopped this military operation.

Because he got a piece of news that made him furious—

With the power that he was once a little afraid of, Huzhou Thorn Shi went out of Huzhou City, which was like a turtle shell, and attacked Jinling, leaving only a thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city in Huzhou, which can almost be said to be a nest!

What the hell is going on?

One of the reasons why the Northern Tang army was rampant was that the Southern Wu people did not think that they had the strength to fight hard with the other party, so they only dared to gather their forces and retreat in various cities to prepare for stubborn resistance and defense.

But that was just the case with each one being breached, and the cities were lost one after another.

But now the Huzhou Assassin Shi actually put on a posture that Huzhou lost it, and directly led the troops to Jinling, of course, General Weiyuan didn't believe that only this way of soldiers and horses went to Jinling.

He didn't think that that strange behavior would be Huzhou's own decision, and there must be someone secretly pointing out.

At the same time, the news of attacks in various places was overwhelming, and he felt the solemnity of the air, as if a storm was suddenly coming.

Li Zenan has returned to Chang'an, he is now the supreme commander of the southern country, others will rely on their own generals, and those generals rely on him, but he can't rely on anyone.

When this stormy sea came, his decisions would affect the life and death of thousands of people, as well as the course of history and the glory of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

He finally realized that it wasn't just him who used people, including Jin An, as a tool for fun and could do whatever he wanted, but that he himself got into that game.

It's a game with only one winner, a game where the stakes are one and the winner is the winner.

Do you want to continue the pursuit and completely eliminate Jin An? It's a question worth considering.

Although he claimed that Jin An was a yellow-mouthed child, he admitted that Jin An was his confidant, and if he could make the other party go to hell, he would feel much more at ease.

He didn't know what was going on with the recent movements of the forces in various parts of Southern Wu, but a vague intuition made him guess that these things had something to do with Jin An, at least a little bit of it.

If he continues to pursue Jin An, he has a small probability that he will completely defeat this army on the way to the opponent's defeat, but there is a greater probability that the other party will retreat to Hu Wangji's Lin'an City to hold on, because his troops are all heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, and Jin An's troops are not well equipped, most of them are lightly armed, and they are not their opponents in battle, but they run relatively fast and compete in speed, which is not wise.

Once Jin'an is withdrawn to Lin'an City, it will take a lot of effort to capture it, and at that time, I am afraid that Jinling, Yangzhou, Luzhou and other places in the north will be unstable. It is inappropriate to pay a great price to take just one Lin'an, but put so much territory on top of the crisis.

But if he no longer pursues Jin An, but chooses to return to help, then his troops will be exhausted, and it is not clear whether the forces of all sides in Southern Wu have made some insidious preparations, and it may be like crashing into a spider's web, fighting until exhaustion.

Neither path was good for him, but he could only do it.

After a day's stay, he chose the latter.

He first sent out an order to let General Changwu, who occupied Xuanzhou, send troops to attack Huzhou, since Huzhou Assassin dared to leave the city to fight Jinling, then give that old guy a little color to see.

Immediately afterwards, he considered that the Southern Wu side would definitely not let go of this opportunity and would definitely covet Xuanzhou, so he instructed General Huaihua to lead his troops to ambush within the boundary of Xuanzhou, and once any bird dared to attack Xuanzhou, he would be told to come and go.

He gave a lot of instructions, was methodical, and finally led his army back north.

But something unexpected happened to him, and that thing made him particularly angry-

When he made the decision to return north, Jin An changed his normal life and began to pursue his troops.

Undoubtedly, Jin An's army was no match for General Weiyuan at all under the head-to-head confrontation, but if he was entangled to the death, it would be very troublesome.

Now that he is in the game, everyone is the protagonist, he is General Weiyuan, and so is Jin An, regardless of the level of strength. has beaten Jin An to the point for so long, and General Weiyuan has infinite beauty, but now, Jin An is about to start his performance.
