"Hmph, Da Liang is a good idea to fight, then fearless, do you think Da Liang will take advantage of our entanglement with Huaiyou and go south to take Bozhou in one fell swoop? This is not a violation of the agreement between us and them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Yuan Huaihe stroked the short beard under his chin.

"Probably not, now the inside of the Liang is gloomy, if it wasn't for the fact that Nanchenzhou was Li Gu's lair last time, they wouldn't have tried their best to capture Nanchenzhou, just like that, Li Gu was still attacked by their internal fierceness, saying that it would cost military funds in vain, the gains outweighed the losses, and the gains were not as good as the losses, if the Liang really intended to take Bozhou this time, they would not have made so many tricks. Yuan Wuxing shook his head resolutely: "And once Daliang enters Bozhou, Huaibei will inevitably give up Yingzhou completely, and Ryazan will also take the initiative to abandon it, wouldn't it be cheap for us?

Yuan Wuxing's point of view made Yuan Huaihe and others also nod in approval, what Daliang is most willing to see is that Caizhou is caught in a situation of entanglement with Huaibei and Huaiyou, so he will support Caizhou on the surface, but secretly he has to do everything he can.

Caizhou also understands this, if it weren't for the internal contradictions of Daliang and the constant infighting, Caizhou would not dare to send troops to Yingzhou so boldly, you must know that Daliang's strength is much stronger than Caizhou, that is, it is determined that Daliang's dispatch of troops is not something that can be done in the short term, and Caizhou dares to do so.

"If that's the case, how should we deal with it?" Yuan Huaiqing looked at his brother.

"The Heshuo army has traveled thousands of miles and is exhausted, if it really wants to join the war, the Caizhou army will not be afraid, but if we are besieging Ruyin, the Heshuo army can rest and then join the battle, it will be troublesome, and with the strength of the Huaiyou Water Army, we can go up along the Yingshui, we are difficult to suppress, this is a difficult problem. Yuan Huaifang didn't wait for his brother to speak, then frowned and said: "Eldest brother, I thought that if it was possible, I might as well slow it down a little, and wait until the Heshuo army went south into Yingzhou, and then we would decide according to the situation." ”

Yuan Huaifang's worries are not unreasonable, but if he has to wait for a while, will he delay the fighter?

"In addition, the battle of Wu is imminent, we can also take this opportunity to observe Huaiyou's movements, if Jiang Feng sends troops to Wudi, then we will have no scruples, we can go all out to attack Yingzhou, I believe that at that time Jiang Feng will definitely not be distracted to send troops north, just the Huaiyou army, can only say that we will find a little trouble, can not decide the overall situation!" Yuan Huaifang further added.

These words immediately won the approval of all the generals present, yes, Huaiyou is bound to intervene in the war in Wudi, as long as Huaiyou sends troops to Wudi, it is impossible to open another front, Huaiyou does not have that strength, even Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Huaiqing nodded again and again, agreeing with Yuan Huaifang's opinion.

Yuan Huaihe is also a little moved, Yingzhou is there, he can't run away, it is not a problem to take Yingzhou with Caizhou's strength, as long as Huaiyou's large-scale intervention in the Yingzhou war situation can be ruled out, it will be the best.

His eyes fell on Yuan Wuxing's face, Yuan Huaihe found that Yuan Wuxing was a little hesitant, he fixed his mind and asked, "Fearless, but is there anything wrong?"

"The head of the family, I can't say it, but I always feel that things don't seem to be so simple, Jiang Feng won't do so much to do this, but to say that this Heshuo army is specifically for our Caizhou, it's not like, after all, it's not an overnight task to seek this matter, so I'm a little uncertain. Yuan Wuxing shook his head a little annoyedly: "But what Uncle Huai Fang said is also reasonable, just ask the head of the family to decide." ”

The decision was ultimately put back in the hands of Yuan Huaihe.

This determines how this battle will be fought in the future, and it is related to the fate of the entire Caizhou Yuan family.

Yingzhou must win, this is the key to Caizhou's expansion of depth.

Only by taking Yingzhou can Caizhou calmly face the pressure of the Liang in the future, so that there will be no room for maneuver under the Liang's soldiers.

With Yingzhou, let's talk about the dilapidated Yingzhou now, but as long as there is land, it takes two or three years to recruit displaced people, and it can become the second Caizhou!

Only by taking Yingzhou can we plot against Bozhou, and the land of Yingbo will become the cornerstone of Caizhou's Yuan family to truly set foot in the world.

"Huaiqing, you lead the armies to attack from Xincai, take Shen Qiu first, Wu Fearless and Wen Liang as your deputies, after taking Shen Qiu, don't move for the time being, wait for orders. If the probation army comes, even if they let it go, and when the Heshuo army arrives, as long as they do not attack our army, they will ignore it for the time being. Yuan Huaihe finally made up his mind, "Wuwei, you take the praise and the army out to the bank of Rushui and wait for the opportunity." ”

Pulling down the iron to cover his face, Zhao Wenshan took the reins of the healthy horse under his crotch, and the healthy horse took a few steps forward with a snort and climbed up the hillside.

Zhao Wenshan likes this helmet with a chain of iron masks, this is a gift from Jiulang, it is said to be the masterpiece of Ruijin Hall of Huaiyou Daozang, which contains the power of magic, not only can block arrows, but even ordinary stones can not be injured.

The tiger head rune covering the face is particularly powerful, which is also a deterrent to the enemy, and the eye sockets on this face are also carefully designed and crafted, close to the face, extremely comfortable, and have no impact on the line of sight.

For a cavalry general, every time he charges, in the face of the enemy's arrows, the heavy armor on his body cannot enter, but the face is a major weakness, and most of the ordinary masks are made of fine iron, which is rough and unbearable, and it is inconvenient to use, which has a great impact on the line of sight.

And this mask is very perfectly combined with the helmet, the two sides are combined with a metal rivet, usually pushed up and hung on the top of the helmet, and in wartime pull down to become the best protective gear, and the cover is very large, and there is an extension downward, even the entire front neck is covered.

The most incredible thing for Zhao Wenshan is that this face covering with a helmet is so light, in the past, just an iron helmet had to have seven or eight pounds, plus face covering and neck protection, at least ten pounds, but the combined protective gear of this helmet covering the face and neck is only three catties, which makes Zhao Wenshan, who is used to wearing an iron helmet weighing six or seven pounds, very uncomfortable, and always feels that there is something missing on this head.

But after personally verifying the tenacity of this combined protective gear, Zhao Wenshan was convinced.

The slash of an ordinary sword, as long as it is not with all its strength, this protective gear can play a good role in protecting and resisting, and stray arrows and general gravel attacks, not to mention, that is, as long as it is not too bad luck, it will be difficult for a general attack to fall on his head to cause fatal damage, which is almost the greatest guarantee for a horseman's life.

Zhao Wenshan also asked Wang Miao if he could be equipped with a few more protective gear, but Wang Miao clearly told him that in view of the particularity of the material made of this protective gear and the difficulty of the production process, only the military generals above the commander of the cavalry can be equipped with it, and the entire Huaiyou Army has only created no more than five at present, and its value can hardly be calculated with money, and this time he specially brought three to provide the cavalry generals of the Heshuo army to the south.

This made Zhao Wenshan also quite moved, at least Huaiyou showed enough sincerity and respect, and he really regarded this group of Heshuo troops who served Huaiyou as his own family, which is rare.

The army that went south from Chengde was actually composed of two incomplete armies, Zhao Wenshan served as the person in charge of the southward journey, among the 4,000 troops, the number of cavalry was only 1,700, but the number of war horses was less than 800, and most of them were old horses on the verge of elimination.

However, Wang Jiulang also clearly told Zhao Wenshan that war horses are not a problem, the key is to bring these cavalry back, Huaiyou has prepared enough war horses for them, and they can become real cavalry again as soon as they arrive in Huaiyou.

The weather began to turn cold, for the soldiers, such a long-distance trek is undoubtedly a big test, but for the future future, the soldiers are enthusiastic, from Jizhou to the south, this half a month, non-stop, people do not stop, all the way, in the Wei Bo military jurisdiction and Liang Di Huaiyou are specially arranged to respond to the manpower, from grain to forage, although it is simple, but for this thousands of miles to the south of the people and horses is to solve the big problem.

Crossing the river from Linhuang, it is Zhencheng, resting in Zhencheng for two days, this army went south again, and now it has entered the territory of Songzhou, bypassing Meng Zhuze, and it is to Songzhou Prefecture to govern Songcheng, which is only a hundred miles away from Zhecheng adjacent to Bozhou, step up some, and you can feel Zhecheng in two days.

It is said that in Luyi County, Bozhou, Huaiyou has coordinated with Huaibei, and has prepared enough grain and grass to solve the problem of going south, and the cavalry without war horses will take the lead in going south to Yingzhou Ruyin City to board the ship and go straight to Shouzhou, and the others will be stationed in Yingzhou, Zhao Wenshan knows that I am afraid this is a sign of war.

Zhao Wenshan has no objection to this, let you Heshuo Army come not to invite you to be a master to eat white food, if you can't show your own value, who will raise idlers now?

It is a matter of course to be a soldier to eat food and sell your life, but the key is to become a German army, and you can't eat food even if you work hard.

Now Huaiyou not only manages the food, but also can even take care of the family and relatives, isn't this enough? Fighting the Shatuo people is usually working hard, and beating the Caizhou people is the same as fighting for their lives, at least they can still have a head for Huaiyou's life, it's worth it!

This is Zhao Wenshan's most simple idea, and it is also the most real idea of him leading 4,000 soldiers and horses, where is to sell his life, of course, he is sold to a higher price, and now if he wants to talk about a sense of belonging and honor, it is all nonsense.

Zhao Wenshan doesn't have such a high consciousness, nor does he have so many unrealistic ideas, his mentality is very correct, everything needs to wait until this battle proves his worth to be discussed.
