At the mention of the war in the south, the joy on Liu Ji's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a heavy melancholy, and he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what are your opinions?"

Imperial Doctor Li Qi walked out of the queue, knelt on his knees, and arched his hand and said: "Weichen has the courage to admonish, please ask the king to drive in person!"

Unexpectedly, Li Qi would make such a suggestion, Liu Ji frowned slightly, and before he could speak, the surrounding ministers had already stood up to oppose it.

"The war in the south is chaotic, and it is too dangerous for the king to drive the expedition in person. ”

"How can the king's golden body come to the battlefield in person?"

"Although the south is critical, it is not critical enough to let the king conquer it......"

The ministers said everything, but they all had the same meaning, and they did not agree with Li Qi's proposal.

Liu Ji himself was not very willing to go out in person, he did not think that his visit to the south would change the war situation in the south much, after all, he was not a military genius, and he had no experience in commanding troops to fight, so whether he went or did not go was basically the same.

Looking at Liu Ji's hesitant appearance, Li Qi also understood a thing or two in his heart, his eyes rolled, and he continued: "The king, there are still more than 200,000 central troops left in Xiangyang, since there is no threat from the Jin country, why doesn't the king transfer these soldiers to the south to assist General Sima in the battle?"

"This ......" Liu Ji pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Prime Minister Kong Du, and asked, "What does Zuo Xiang mean?"

Du Kong thought about it carefully, if only Sima Changren was allowed to defend the south with only the current troops, it would indeed be difficult to make a big difference, and if Cao Xiong could really keep the Jin army out of Wangfeng County, then the 200,000 central army in the national capital would be redundant. And the facts just prove that Cao Xiong is like a god with soldiers. Twice thwarted the invasion of the Jin army and suppressed the Jin army in Jiangxi.

After thinking about it, Du Kong nodded, arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, the minister thinks that what Lord Li said is reasonable, and the 200,000 central troops in Xiangyang can rush to the south to fight the thieves with General Sima!"

Since both the prime minister and the imperial doctor said so. Liu Ji no longer hesitated, and with a stroke of the pen, he played the plan to reinforce the south.

An order was passed down by Liu Ji, and the 200,000 central troops in Xiangyang were dispatched in unison and set off to the south to assist Sima Changren.

At this time, Lin Haotian's previous arrogant tactics finally paid off.

The 200,000 central troops in the capital of Mu Guo were regarded by him as a danger to his henchmen, and they were a huge obstacle to his capture of Xiangyang, and now it is good. He did not move a single soldier, and only relied on two deceptive defeats to throw this big trouble to the Red Army in the south.

The news of Xiangyang was transmitted back to Jiangxi, and Lin Haotianle smiled on his back, even though the Mu Kingdom had a large number of troops, even though Sima Changren was both benevolent and brave, but the Mu Country was inevitably killed after all.

Now, there is only one obstacle left in front of the Jin army. The local army of Wangfeng County led by Cao Xiong.

Lin Haotian immediately recruited all the generals under his command to discuss the next battle situation.

When everyone learned that the 200,000 Central Army left behind in Xiangyang had been sent to the south by Liu Ji. People are also happy to close their mouths, and now as long as they open up Wangfeng County, they can drive straight into Xiangyang and take Xiangyang.

Zhang Bufan, who had just recovered from his injuries, scratched his head and said, "Could it be that Liu Ji is crazy? He actually transferred all the troops of Xiangyang to the south, does he think that we will not dare to attack his Xiangyang?"

Lin Haotian laughed proudly. Said leisurely: "Lao Tzu said that if the sky wants to die, you must first want to be crazy, and Liu Ji is now this symptom." ”

Of course, everyone didn't know who Lao Tzu was, but it was Lin Haotian's self-proclaimed name when he got carried away. I couldn't help but laugh again.

After a pause, Lin Haotian restrained his smile, cut to the point, and asked, "Next, how will our army break through Wangfeng County?"

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Bufan seemed to be afraid that others would rob him of his merits, and hurriedly intervened and said: "The king only needs to give me 5,000 soldiers, and I will capture Cao Xiong and hand it over to the lord!"

Lin Haotian pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "The terrain of Wangfeng County is complex, and it is very easy to set up ambushes, so you can't take it lightly. ”

Zhang Bufan still wanted to fight again, at this time, Chu Lianyu said: "Don't rush to attack Wangfeng County, my lord, now the 200,000 central army in Xiangyang has just gone south, if our army suddenly attacked, we will bring them back if we don't get it right." ”

Lin Haotian smiled and said: "Lian Yu, I understand this truth, now I just set the tactics first, as for when to attack, I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Your Excellency is wise!" Since Lin Haotian had already said so, Chu Lianyu put his mind at ease and said no more. Asking Chu Lianyu to specify a major strategic strategy is absolutely first-class, but if he is asked to formulate tactics for local battles, he is a layman, and he can't interject.

At this time, Dou Bo said: "The last general feels that with the current strength of our army, it is enough to take Wangfeng County lightly. Although the terrain of Wangfeng County is complex and steep, as long as you are more cautious and reconnoiter properly, the wooden army can be drilled seamlessly, and you don't need to worry about this matter. ”

Lin Haotian asked rhetorically: "What if Cao Xiong stubbornly defends Ningyang? I have been to Ningyang, and Ningyang City can be regarded as a big city second only to Xiangyang in Muguo, not only is the city wall high and thick, but the city defense facilities are also extremely perfect. ”

Dou Bo smiled slightly and said: "If the wooden army is defending Ningyang City, the adults can attack it with fire, and there is nothing else in Wangfeng County, that is, there are many forests and many trees, which are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, our army can build a tower, release rockets, and burn the whole city!"

Lin Haotian was stunned, then laughed, and said half-jokingly with Dou Bo: "Dou Bo, your plan is really vicious!haha!"

If you fight according to Dou Bo's tactics, the people in the Sifang City will suffer, and you don't know how many people will be burned to death and burned by then!

Dou Bo's face was straight, and he said in a low voice: "Don't you also want to avenge the soldiers of the Third Legion who died in the battle in the Sifang City?"

"That's right!" Lin Haotian stood up, holding the saber at his waist, squinting his eyes, and said in a cruel voice: "When you attack Wangfeng County again, it will be when the blood of the wooden people will flow like a river!"

After speaking, he said to Dou Bo, Gu Liangyun, and Ling Hugao: "You guys start preparing arrows and pine trees for me now, no matter whether the wooden army is defending the Sifang City or not, I will turn the Sifang City into ashes!"

"The last general will obey the order!" Dou Bo, Gu Liangyun, and Ling Hugao hurriedly got up and gave up their orders.

Chu Lianyu frowned secretly, Ningyang City is a big city after all, after destroying the wood, Ningyang City will also belong to the Jin State, if it is burned, it will be a pity.

However, Lin Haotian had already made up his mind to wash Wangfeng County in blood, and at this time, he would definitely hit the wall, Chu Lianyu held back and was silent.

Two days later, the messenger of the First Army returned to the Jiangxi camp, and at the same time brought Lin Haotian a 'trophy', Zhou Fang's head.

Seeing Zhou Fang's severed head, Lin Haotian couldn't help but sigh on his back, sighing that there was one less strong enemy in the Mu Kingdom, and the second sighing at the courage and good fighting of the First Legion.

He picked up the pen, didn't think about it, and wrote down a line of words in a dragon and phoenix: The division of tigers and wolves, galloping for thousands of miles, leveling the strong captives, and making great achievements.

After writing it, he picked it up and looked at it, feeling quite satisfied, and then laughed, handed it to the messenger of the First Legion, and said: "This is Ben Shuai's handwritten poem, you take it back and hand it to Ding Feng, and tell him by the way, when he returns to the camp, Ben Shuai will personally celebrate his achievements!"

When the messenger heard this, he was overjoyed, and his hand that stretched out to receive the poem trembled.

At this time, even the generals on both sides were moved, if I remember correctly, this should be the first time that adults have written poems, and it is especially written for the First Legion, which is a great honor for the soldiers of the First Legion.

Lin Haotian has no literary talent, and his handwriting is crooked, not even neat, let alone beautiful, if he is not very happy, he does not have this Yaxing himself to mention poetry.

Along the way, the messengers of the First Army almost floated out of the Jiangxi camp and returned to the south to give orders to Ding.

Now, the situation in the south of Muguo has undergone new changes with the arrival of 200,000 central troops in Xiangyang.

The 150,000 local troops of Jiashang County defended the Yuemen Pass to block the Jin-Chi coalition army from moving north.

The terrain of Yuemen Pass is precipitous, and the city pass is built on the mountain, the terrain is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. For most of the month, the Red Army launched several strong attacks, but they were all pushed back by the defenders, and the two sides were 1,000 dead and 800 dead, each with a lot of losses.

For such a battle situation, Shi Huai was furious, and ordered Xuanyuan Fang, who had previously been defeated by Lin Haotian, to command 100,000 central troops, go to the front line, and join the Red Army that was fighting.

As a result, as soon as reinforcements from the Red Army arrived, the 200,000 Central Army in Xiangyang also arrived.

At this point, all the main forces of the two countries were basically assembled inside and outside the Yuemen Pass. (To be continued......)
