"Bianzhou can't hold it. Liu Yansi waved his hand to signal the maid to go out, forcibly got up, and sighed: "Zhongmu can't hold it at all, at most it will play a role in delaying time, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in Bianzhou City at this time." ”

"It will definitely not be able to hold it, now the Liang army is disheartened, Zhongmu is just making a defensive posture, although the Jin army is also tired from continuous battles, but their morale is very strong. Chai Yong doesn't care about the life and death of Da Liang, he cares more about the situation in front of him.

The battle against the Caizhou army continued, and the Caizhou army had retreated to less than 500 paces near the west gate, and had built dense fortifications on the city walls, and a large number of equipment such as trebuchets and ballistae had also been erected, apparently preparing for a decisive battle near the west gate.

In fact, the Caizhou army knew very well that they were unable to resist the offensive of the Xuzhou army, and the huge disparity in strength alone could explain everything, but the Caizhou army was still holding on.

The replenishment speed of the Caizhou army is very fast, Yuan Huaifang's department from Chenzhou, and Zhao Yonghui's department from Qiaoxian reinforcements have been assembled in the area of Songzhou's west gate, because Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei firmly guarded the west gate, so that the two departments of nearly 20,000 troops can enter the city smoothly, although they are still at a disadvantage, but they can finally hold the west gate, and they can launch a counterattack.

Previously, Liu Yansi and Chai Yong originally tried to use the advantage of their strength to expel the Caizhou army, but the tenacity and tenacity of the Caizhou army were fully reflected at this time, although they suffered great losses, but they knew that they could not lose the West Gate, so they would rather pay a greater price, they also had to defend the West Gate, and this was also rewarded.

The situation in the Central Plains is finally about to usher in a big change, and this is what Caizhou they want to see, and Yuan Huaihe has already told Yuan Huaifang that the envoy of the imperial court is on the side of Xuzhou, and he must also be mediating and pressuring, asking Xuzhou and Caizhou to stop the war and jointly deal with the threat brought by the destruction of the Shatuo people to the Central Plains and the southern feudal domains, and the threat of the Shatuo people has risen to the same importance as the survival of the imperial court.

In the past few days, Chai Yong and Yuan Huaiqing have fought twice, although they failed to succeed, they still created a small wound on each other, but the opponent Ruyang Bazhu and some cutting-edge characters are still quite active, blocking the advance of the Ziqing Army on various fronts, and also causing a lot of losses to the Ziqing Army.

Because of this, Chai Yongzheng was preparing to adopt a more powerful offensive force to achieve a decisive victory in three or five days, completely expelling this group of Caizhou troops from the city, and ensuring the absolute control of the Ziqing army over Song City.

Unexpectedly, I received such "bad news".

The life or death of the Great Liang has nothing to do with Xuzhou, but once the Hedong Jin Army completely solves the Great Liang, the soldiers will be directed to Xuzhou, and of course, Caizhou and Nanyang.

No matter what agreement Caizhou and Nanyang reached with the Shatuo people before, the huge difference in strength determines that they can no longer maintain a lenient attitude towards Nanyang and Caizhou as before, and Xuzhou is more likely to be a thorn in the side of the Shatuo people, maybe the next war will be between the Shatuo people and Xuzhou.

In this case, Xuzhou also had to consider the next step between Xuzhou and Caizhou, and how should this war for Songzhou be carried out, whether to continue to fight, or whether the two sides would each take a step back and reach a compromise in order to pave the way for the future to deal with the threat of the Shatuo people?

"What does the Privy Council mean?" Liu Yansi held back the pain in his body, stood up, paced a few steps, stood in front of the window, and looked out the window, "Are you telling us to stop? What about Wu Ningjun? After mobilizing for so long, it was wasted? Wang Shouxin is afraid that he will not agree, right?"

"The Privy Council means that if we take Songcheng, then naturally there is no need to say it, but it is not appropriate to continue to expand the war, but if we don't take it, we will stop there,......" Chai Yong pondered for a while, "It is estimated that the Privy Council is also very entangled now, and we are still a step slower after all." ”

"Hmph, we're not slow, but we didn't expect the Caizhou army to be so resolute and tough, and the speed of reinforcements came so quickly, the Yuan family seems to have premeditated, Chenzhou has just been taken, and they dare to come with reinforcements regardless of the order of the Chenzhou garrison, they are very Nanyang, and the tacit understanding of the Shatuo people is good enough. It's not impossible to fight it now, it's just that our Ziqing Army has paid too much price, but we can't take care of it now. Liu Yansi said coldly: "Where did Wu Ningjun go?"

"Yucheng has passed, one of them has taken control of Xiayi, and the reinforcements of the Caizhou army are also advancing in a steady stream, and Zhecheng and Gushu have fallen into their hands. Chai Yong's eyes lit up, "Dudu, what do you mean......?"

"The general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, not to mention that the meaning of the Privy Council is not clearly stated, that is, let us act cheaply, let the Wuning army come to the elite of the two armies first, march quickly, bring more equipment, and completely solve the Caizhou army tomorrow, and then negotiate!" Liu Yansi showed a cold smile on his face, "You can go here and discuss the matter of the boycott with the Caizhou army, and take a two-pronged ,......"

"I'm afraid that the Yuan family is also playing with this idea, hum, do you really think we don't dare to do it?"

Chai Yong is also extremely unwilling, it is absolutely unacceptable to give up like this, he has paid such a big price, it would be too regrettable if he fell short, Liu Yansi's decision was a bit risky, but it was worth it, I believe that Wang Shouxin also has this attitude.

Then let's fight this battle well, and then we'll talk about it after the fight!

After receiving that the Hedong Jin army used the cavalry to detour to the back of the Liang army in Guancheng to launch a surprise attack, which led to the defeat of the Liang army, Jiang Feng knew that it was impossible to do anything.

Zhongmu and Bianzhou Prefecture are not defendable places, even if the Jin army in Hedong is also a little exhausted now, but it is by no means what some people say that the end of the strong crossbow can not penetrate Lu Min, at this time the Jin army is high-spirited, high-spirited, and Hedong is quite well prepared for this battle, at least there is no major problem with the logistics that bothered them the most, and this alone is that Hedong will win.

Luoyang, as the most important city in Henan, not only has a large population, but also in order to ensure the strategic security of the west, Luoyang has also been built into a logistics supply base that can support the defense of the entire west, so after Luoyang was unexpectedly captured by the Jin army in Hedong, the logistics of the Jin army was basically worry-free.

It can be said that if Luoyang had not been captured, the winter offensive of the Jin army would not have existed, and the spring offensive was even more foolish, and it was precisely because of Luoyang and Henan Mansion as the backing that the Jin army's offensive was continued, and it was also so that Daliang had not been given time to breathe a sigh of relief to adjust himself.

The weakness of the Guancheng front is largely due to the huge psychological impact that the fall of Luoyang has brought to the Liang side, so that the Liang army has not been able to rebuild its confidence and fighting spirit, and can only barely maintain it.

During the adjustment of the Jin army, the Liang army was also unable to rebuild a strong defensive line, and in fact, an army that had lost its fighting spirit, no matter how solid the defensive system was established on the surface, would be full of holes once it encountered a real attack.

Therefore, when the Jin army finished recuperating and relaunched the offensive, the Liang army's defense line in Guancheng was quickly overstretched, and then it was defeated.

If it weren't for the fact that the Jin army still had some worries about the remains of the behemoth of Daliang, and was a little worried about the Liang army stationed in Xingze, or if he had changed himself, Jiang Feng felt that he could command the Jin army's iron cavalry to fight all the way to the city of Bianzhou, and even take Bianliang directly.

Even so, the Zhongmu defense line rebuilt by the Liang army was meaningless in Jiang Feng's eyes, as long as the Jin army dared to fight, the Zhongmu defense line could be gently pierced like paper paste.

Fortunately, the Jin army was too cautious, and the resistance of the local gentry in Zhengzhou also made the Hedong Jin army hope to accept this area peacefully, which also shows that the Jin Dynasty has begun to prepare to take over the political heritage of the Great Liang in the Central Plains, so there will be such a relaxed action, otherwise with the heart of the Shatuo people in the past, they would have waved the butcher's knife long ago and proved the Tao with martial arts.

This also gave Xuzhou some opportunities.

According to the news reported back from Bianzhou a few days ago, after the defense line of Guancheng was breached, the number of gentry and merchants from Bianzhou to the east and south had increased tenfold, and both land and water routes were crowded with vehicles and ships going south.

The entire wharf inside and outside the city was full of people who wanted to escape from the largest city in the Central Plains, and the boats from Bianliang along the canal and the two waterways of the Bianhe River to the east almost filled the river, and the ships of the entire Bianzhou, and even the neighboring Caozhou, Songzhou, and Xuzhou poured into the city, transporting the people and things that could be pulled away from the city to the east.

Even in the original less popular Baigou waterway, there is an endless stream of boats, this waterway is much farther away, and it has to pass through Heze, and Heze and the adjacent Juyeze are actually controlled by the Juye Lake bandits, so it has been almost abandoned.

However, after Yunzhou returned to Jiang Feng's control, the problem of water bandits disappeared, and this waterway was reactivated, but it was still not as good as the canal and the Bianhe two waterways, but this time it also played a big role.

This is also a deliberate move by Xuzhou.

Jiang Feng had already determined that Daliang was no longer able to resist the attack of the Shatuo people, and it was only a matter of time, so how to maximize the benefits of Xuzhou from this change needed to be carefully considered.

It is not impossible to take Bianzhou directly, but this also means an all-out war with the Shatuo people, and Jiang Feng does not think that this is a wise move.

Xuzhou is not ready for a full-scale war with Hedong, and it will take two or three years for Xuzhou, at least more than a year to digest.

But just sitting back and watching the Shatuo people accept the fattest piece of the Central Plains is also not in the interests of Xuzhou, so it is necessary to hollow out the resources of Bianzhou as much as possible, and Xuzhou also has this condition.
