"Shaojun, you can unleash the mountain barbarians. The young man sitting at the bottom stood up and bowed: "The line from Caizhou Rongshan and Ma'anshan to Ciqiu and Fangcheng, although the terrain is relatively low and broken, and there are many valley passes, this is also the route for some risky adventure caravans and hunters and medicine farmers to pass through, but they are all within the control of the mountain barbarians, we can immediately notify the mountain barbarians along the line, and attack any large groups of men and horses that may pass through this line to slow down their progress." ”

"The mountain barbarians can be used, but this is not enough, the established mountain barbarians have been organized as mountain barbarian troops to the front line of Fangcheng Mountain - Funiu Mountain to deploy, and the strength of the mountain barbarians on this line is not enough. "Liu Han is very clear about the mountain barbarian forces under his command, since the Caizhou army dares to take this dangerous road to carry out an assault, it must be an elite force, and ordinary mountain barbarians can't stop it at all.

"It must be unstoppable, their role is to obstruct and delay, and this side needs to immediately notify Miyang and Fangcheng to be on guard to prevent enemy attacks. Another military general answered, "It is also necessary to transfer troops from Nanyang Mansion to immediately reinforce Miyang and Fangcheng, Ciqiu can leave it alone for the time being." ”

"In addition, you can also ask the second master to send troops from Shenzhou to reinforce Mizhou, or directly cross Huai to attack Caizhou and surround Wei to save Zhao!"

"That's not good, besiege Wei to save Zhao Na has to attack where it must be saved, you fight Zhenyang, Langshan and other places, not to mention that this is the thickest foundation of the Yuan family, hundreds of miles behind the enemy, and the division attacks from afar, but it is not the most important place for the enemy, it is meaningless, and it is very easy to be trapped by the enemy. The other immediately retorted.

"I think Shaojun's opinion just now is very right, I have to ask Xuzhou to send troops! Only Xuzhou has the strength to save the situation, it is of little significance to fight Langshan and Zhenyang, Shenzhou can ask them to go north to reinforce Mizhou, but if the Yuan family really hooks up with the Shatuo people, it will be very dangerous on the Ruzhou side, and the head of the family must immediately lead his troops to return south, at least to Lushan and Yexian, and even directly push to Luyang Pass and Fangcheng Pass. The military generals with pockmarked faces were like a bell, "But no matter what, we are quite passive, we must have external forces to rescue us, otherwise it will be difficult to reverse the situation, and we also have to consider, the Xiangyang Xiao family in the south!"

One sentence made everyone shudder, especially Liu Han was even more shocked and angry, "You mean that the Xiao family may also join in?"

"Shaojun, nothing is impossible, the Xiao family and we are mortal enemies, and they have long coveted Sui Zhou, if the Yuan family really colludes with the Shatuo people, what is it to pull one more Xiao family? Give Sui Zhou to the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will not have to fight to the death? Even if the Yuan family does not pull the Xiao family into the game, they only need to reveal a piece of news to the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Xiao family will not stand still, right?"

Everyone gasped, I have to say that this possibility is very high, the Xiao family has always regarded the Liu family as the enemy of life and death, there is such an opportunity to overturn the Liu family, how can they not rush to pounce?

After taking Suizhou, there will be no danger to the east of the Xiao family, and they can still strengthen themselves, so how can they stand by and watch?

"Then what should I do?" Liu Han was so anxious that his voice became a little hoarse, there were very few garrisons in Suizhou, and there was only one army in the entire state, if the Xiangyang army came to attack, I was afraid that the whole state would fall in three or five days, and it would also pose a great threat to Nanyang and Mizhou.

"Not only that, I estimate that the Ehuang Du family may also be ready to move, they were taken away by the second master, and they have always been dissatisfied, isn't it also an opportunity now?" ”

The second Liu has already been at odds with each other, and they have gone their own way, and when facing a common enemy, they may be able to work together to advance and retreat, but if Liu Xuan is facing the threat of the Du clan, it is absolutely impossible to use his forces to support Liu Tong.

The words of the pock-faced military general made Liu Han even more anxious, if this is the case, then the day will really collapse.

Without the support of Liu Xuan's side, it is impossible for the strength of Liu Tong's line alone to resist the joint efforts of the Shatuo people and the Yuan clan, especially Liu Han's hands do not have many mobile forces at all, if all the forces are used to reinforce Pizhou, what if the Xiangyang soldiers go north?

"The only hope is Xuzhou, and only Xuzhou has the ability to rescue us. The pock-faced general took a deep breath," And now it's a little too late in time, even if Xuzhou wants to rescue us, but the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, the Xuzhou army is fighting Chuyang in the south, and the north is plotting Heshuo, the Central Plains and the Shatuo people are confronting, Jiang Feng wants to free up his hands to transfer troops and send generals, and it will also take time, and when he sends troops, I am afraid that the Shatuo people will fight under Nanyang City, but even so, we still have hope, at least the Xuzhou army is advancing westward, and we can help to solve the threat of Caizhou, and fight a war of attrition with the Shatuo people, we can fight!"

Liu Han's heart was in turmoil, he felt that there was no hope for a while, and for a while he felt that the situation might not be as bad as he imagined, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while.

"Shaojun, please also give an order, first reinforce Miyang and Fangcheng, and immediately notify the family to return south, in addition, Shenzhou should also contact immediately, ask them to discuss with Xuzhou for reinforcements, Xuzhou should be clear about the truth of cold lips and teeth, Caizhou succeeds, Xuzhou has no benefit!"

"Okay, okay, just do as you say, immediately send troops to Fangcheng and Miyang, Liu Guang is stationed in Fangcheng, with the assistance of my fifth uncle, it's not a big problem, but Miyang, Liu Ying is alone, there is some danger, I want to ask Yin Feng to go to reinforce Miyang immediately." Liu Han was also persuaded by the words of the pock-faced general, and slowly calmed down.

Liu Tong went north and took away the "wind" of Liu Tong's lineage - Liu Biao and "Lin" - Liu Sen in the Fenglin Volcano, as well as Guo Fang, the patriarch of the Guo family, all three of whom were strong in the sky.

In addition to these three people, who were already strong in the middle of Rundan, there were also two cousins of Liu Tong, Liu Meng and Liu Xiong, who were also strong in the strength of the small heavenly position, and Yin Long, the patriarch of the Yin clan, had also reached the strength of the small heavenly position.

Liu Xiong, who was called the fifth uncle by Liu Han, assisted Liu Han's second brother Liu Guang to defend Fangcheng, while the third brother Liu Ying guarded Pizhou.

Yin Feng is Yin Long's brother, his strength has been in the fixed period of the Heavenly Realm, and he is also a line away from the small heavenly position, he is now stationed in Shangma, the closest to Miyang, if he sets off immediately, maybe it will be too late.

"And Xuzhou, please ask the second uncle to implore Xuzhou to send troops, otherwise the Liu family will be in danger!" Liu Han thought for a while, "Let Liu Luo and Liu Jia go to Shenzhou immediately, non-stop!"

At the same time that Nanyang sensed that something was wrong, Yuan Wushu had already led a thousand dragon sparrow tails to embark on the journey.

From Langshan directly into Fangcheng, you need to pass through Funiu Mountain - Fangcheng Mountain to Tongbai Mountain between this line of mountainous areas, the terrain of this line is much lower and more broken than Funiu Mountain and Fangcheng Mountain, and it is slightly better than the road condition of Tongbai Mountain in the south, many weathered and broken mountains can only be regarded as hills, but due to the wide spread of forests, the road is still not conducive to travel.

Yuan Wushu and his party lurked in the mountains for a day, in order to hide their tracks to the greatest extent, they almost shrank in a valley without any movement, until the sky was dark, and then began to march rapidly overnight.

From the west of the mountain, is the gentle slope valley between Wufeng Mountain and Baiyun Mountain, although the terrain is still rugged, but there are many passes and holes for passing, what Yuan Wushu has to do is to take this thousand dragon bird tail day and night, cut off this line may affect the threat of the follow-up troops' march, and at the same time go straight to Fangcheng Mountain in secrecy.

Intelligence showed that there was an army stationed in Fangchengshan, and the leaders of the garrison were Liu Xuan's second son, Liu Guang, and one of his cousins, Liu Xiong.

Both of these people have the strength of the small heavenly position, but it is only limited to the strength of the small heavenly position, and Yuan Wushu has already crossed the level of the early stage of the Dan through more than a year of penance at this time, and has touched the threshold of the middle stage of the Xiao Dan, he has the confidence to kill Liu Guang and Liu Xiong, even if they join forces, not to mention that there are some assistants beside him.

As the 1,000 dragon sparrow tail elite led by Yuan Wushu bravely advanced, the 5,000 men and horses of the two armies led by Yuan Huaiqing also quietly followed.

Although it was said that they were quietly following up, in fact, it was impossible for five thousand people to cover their tracks, so Yuan Huaiqing and Zhao Tianshou did not cover up too deliberately, but asked to speed up the progress.

There are only 1,000 forwards, and in the face of the surprise attack of Fangcheng County, they may be able to succeed for a while, but once they are regained by the Nanyang army, it will be a crazy counterattack.

This is to cut off the retreat of the Nanyang army in Funiu Mountain-north of Fangcheng Mountain, once it is blocked in Funiu Mountain-north of Fangcheng Mountain, the Shatuo army will be able to swallow the tens of thousands of Nanyang troops alive.

Yuan Wudi was also aware of the situation he was facing.

Even if the Nanyang Army really didn't expect such an abrupt blitzkrieg from the Caizhou side, the basic vigilance of the Nanyang Army would not be lacking, so how effective this surprise attack would be, Yuan Wushu didn't have much confidence in his heart.

After death, this is the goal that Yuan Wudi set for himself to act as a pioneer this time, even if he dies, he will take the city.

It is about two hundred miles from Rongshan Mountain to Fangcheng County, and it can be reached in one day and one night with this thousand dragons and birds' tail elite breakthrough.

In order to ensure the success of the attack, Yuan Wushu sneaked west from the Shengshan Mountains on the first night, and then lurked again, which was less than eighty miles away from the county seat of Fangcheng.

The idea of Yuan Invincible is the most suitable to launch an attack on the opponent's city and county in the early morning, and this is the time when the defenders are most tired and the vigilance is the worst, so they can go down with a drum, and take advantage of the night to kill and injure the Nanyang defenders to the greatest extent.
