Of the million-strong army assembled by the Imperial Court of Youguo, nearly half of the 400,000 You Army led by Chen Bo was lost, and the rest all defected, and then the 400,000 You Army led by Tian Yu was pinned down by the Yan-Chi Alliance. Now, there are only 200,000 You Guo's central army left behind in Huaiyang, which is a rare opportunity for the coalition army on Lin Haotian's side, as long as they can break through the two counties of Xiangshan and Longhu in a short time, they can directly attack Huaiyang, with their 200,000 troops, they can't resist the million coalition army on their side.

Not only did Lin Haotian understand that the opportunity in front of him was rare, but Song Hao was also very aware of this, so after seeing Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang's letter of request for help, Song Hao had a resolute attitude, he must not divide his troops to save him, he must maintain his troops, conquer Huaiyang first, and destroy the court of You Guo.

After listening to his opinion, Lin Haotian nodded slowly and agreed. At this time, the division of troops will really delay the great fighter.

Seeing that he just nodded, but was silent, Song Hao was a little anxious, for fear that Lin Haotian would be soft-hearted and agree to Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang's request.

Song Hao hurriedly stood up from his seat and said, "Brother Lin, it's not that we don't want to help regardless of the alliance, but the situation doesn't allow it! ”

Lin Haotian was happy, stood up with a smile, stretched his muscles, and then picked up the teacup, and drank two sips of tea leisurely, and then said: "Brother Song, I also know that the division of troops now is harmful to us and not beneficial, but has Brother Song considered it?" If the Yan-Chi coalition is defeated, what will happen to the results?"

"How?"

"The 400,000 You army can pull out their hands and attack our army from the side, and at that time, our army will have to rush westward and deal with the 400,000 You army, and the situation is not optimistic!" Lin Haotian analyzed slowly.

Hearing this, Song Hao and the generals present frowned in unison.

Song Hao asked bluntly, "So what?"

"Therefore, we have to let the Yan-Chi coalition hold on, even if we can't defeat the You army. It is also necessary to contain this group of You troops in Shima County. Lin Haotian narrowed his eyes. Yu Yu said.

Some of the generals nodded, and suddenly felt that what Lin Haotian said also made some sense.

Song Hao patted his thigh helplessly, and sighed: "Speaking of which, we still have to divide troops to help the Yan and Red armies!"

The corners of Lin Haotian's mouth raised. said: "I want the Yan-Chi coalition to hold on." We don't have to send our troops to help. ”

"Oh?" the crowd was in high spirits. Hurriedly asked: "What does Brother Lin mean ......?"

"With the combat strength of the Yan and Red armies, as long as there is enough food, grass and baggage, we will not seek to break the enemy. It's okay to defend yourself by sticking to the camp. After a pause, Lin Haotian continued: "I have to rely on Brother Song to help in this matter!"

Song Hao's eyes rolled, and he asked, "Brother Lin means that I want to send troops to transport grain, grass and baggage to the Yanchi Second Army?"

"That's right, this is also the best way to relieve the danger of Yan Chi. ”

"Hmph! Can't do it!" Song Hao's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Brother Lin, how did Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang treat me at the beginning? Seeing death, he is indifferent and ruthless, and has no alliance righteousness, if it weren't for the arrival of the Jin Jun brothers, you and I would have been the ghost of You Jun's sword a long time ago, and now I want you and me to send grain, grass and baggage to Ren Tianxing and Xuanyuan Fang, can you do it, Brother Lin?"

Alas, Lin Haotian sighed secretly, he also understood that at this time, asking Song Hao to send supplies to the Yan-Chi coalition army was like being stabbed by someone, and he had to go to give gifts to others, not to mention the ugly face, it was estimated that he would not even be able to pass this level himself.

Without waiting for Lin Haotian to answer, Song Hao rubbed his hands, laughed dryly, and said to Lin Haotian: "Brother Lin, you know best how Xuanyuan Fang treated us at the beginning, and now you want me to send supplies to it, it is too difficult for a strong man." ”

The baggage of the three kingdoms is stored in the new red country, which is managed by the new red army, and if Song Hao does not issue orders, no one can do anything.

Looking at the indignant Song Hao, Lin Haotian felt angry and funny, this person's heart and eyes are really not ordinary.

In fact, Ren Tianxing chose not to save him at the beginning, and he also had his reasons, but he also understood that it was useless to talk about it now.

He said with a straight face: "Brother Song, even if Brother Ren was wrong at the beginning, the two Song brothers should still focus on the overall situation. Let the two armies of Yan and Chi hold on, drag the You army, it is also extremely beneficial to us, we can seize this opportunity to attack Huaiyang in one fell swoop, and if the Yan and Chi coalition forces are defeated, in the end, I am afraid that we can only retreat to our side, to join us, at that time, even if Huaiyang is captured, You Guo's gold, silver and jewelry will not know whose pocket it will be. ”

Lin Haotian's words were extremely effective, and they touched Song Hao's heart at once.

Ren Tianxing's ability to bully people is famous, relying on the strong national strength of the Yan country, he has to fight for the most benefits, if the Yan army enters Huaiyang, I am afraid that others will not get any benefits.

The gold, silver and jewelry of the You country, it is better to divide the two countries evenly than to be monopolized by the Yan State and pick up some leftovers by the three countries. Thinking of this, Song Hao and his subordinates looked at each other, the former stomped his foot heavily, shook his head and muttered: "No way! What Brother Lin said is reasonable, I will pass it on to the country and send someone to escort supplies to the Yan and Chi armies." ”

"Ah, it's really troublesome Brother Song. ”

"Hey, what's the trouble, everyone is their own people, Brother Lin is too outward. ”

Song Hao accepted Lin Haotian's proposal and promised to send supplies to the Yan-Chi Coalition Army, which was not mentioned for the time being, and said that the Three Kingdoms Coalition Army, after entering Xiangshan County, played a triumphant song all the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, connecting two counties and six cities, hundreds of thousands of troops with thunder, the last county of Xiangshan County, and Gabu County, where the county seat is located.

The local army of Youguo has gathered more than 100,000 people in Gabu County, and the strength of these local troops is quite a lot, but compared with the army of the Three Kingdoms, there is still a world of difference, and it is impossible to do a head-to-head confrontation, and the more than 100,000 local troops have all retreated to Nanyue City.

Nanyue Castle is not the county seat of Sangsan-gun, but its location is both dangerous and important, and it happens to be located on the road from Sangsan-gun to Longhu County. The city is built on the mountainside, and the outside of the city is a slope of about 30 degrees, and the two sides are cliffs, so no matter how many enemies come to attack, Nanyue City will always be a wall to resist the enemy, which can greatly save the manpower of the defenders, and the enemy has to attack from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, which is extremely difficult.

It can be seen that the You army has completely abandoned the county town of Qiyuan, and even the county head Gong Song has run to Nanyue.

The capture of Qiyuan by the Triple Alliance was easy. To be exact. When the Triple Alliance arrived in Qiyuan, it was almost an empty city.

It was not that the people inside ran out, but that the officials of the whole county fled to Nanyue with the county head, and even the granaries and silver warehouses in the city were empty.

The reason why the people of Youguo did not flee in large numbers. It is also mainly related to the Huairou policy that the Triple Alliance is currently implementing.

The Triple Alliance never killed innocent people in the towns they captured. Nor did he go crazy to rob the people's belongings like when he was in Canglin County. The Jin State also trumpeted preferential policies and invited the people of the Kingdom of You to migrate to the Kingdom of Jin.

Even so, Chen Bo still expressed his dissatisfaction to Lin Haotian. If there is really an indiscriminate killing of innocent people, I am afraid that the more than 200,000 You troops led by Chen Bo will immediately turn against the allied forces of the two countries.

After the occupation of Qiyuan, the Jin army remained the same, first posting notices to resettle the people, and then posting notices to recruit people, using various preferential policies as bait to encourage the people to move to the Jin country.

Jin Jun also set up a special office responsible for handling the relocation, and the main person in charge was Hong Hao.

The cohesion of the people has not reached the level of monolith, some people live a superior life, but most people live in poverty and hardship, and now there is a rare opportunity, many people living at the bottom still intend to go to the country to try their luck, if they can really improve their lives, it is not impossible to settle down.

Even if they do not use coercion, there are not a few people who voluntarily migrate to the country.

Due to the very generous preferential conditions offered by the Jin State, and the dedication of Hong Hao, a literati from the You State, there are many people who want to move to the Jin State, and the office is crowded and overcrowded.

This scene happened to be seen by Chen Bo who was passing by, his face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth secretly. What does the national strength of the country of You rely on? The country of You is poor, there are no rich resources, there is no fertile land, and the national strength of the country of You is completely supported by the people of You, and now the country of Jin is moving the people with great fanfare, wherever they go, where they are preaching and agitating, this is to make the country of You die!

Chen Bo casually grabbed a citizen of You Country who was squeezing forward and couldn't squeeze in, and shouted: "Born in You Country, but you want to be a golden man, it's better than a pig and a dog!"

In other countries, the people may not dare to fight with officials, but in Youguo, there is no such concept.

The people of Nayou looked at Chen Bo twice, and when they saw that he was wearing the armor of You Guo, they snorted disapprerovingly, shook his hand away, and said with a cold face: "What kind of pretending to be high? Our king can usurp the throne and become the Son of Heaven, you can all turn against the Four Nations Alliance, why can't I change to Jinren?"

The words of this common man made Chen Bo speechless. Seeing this, the guards who accompanied him shouted 'bold' and rushed up.

Not to be outdone, the people of Nayou drew a short knife from their waists and tried to fight against the guards.

Chen Bo sighed helplessly, You Guo is really on the verge of an eventful time and a country of danger! He waved his hand to the guards, signaling them not to make trouble, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Go! Go to the county capital!"

In the past, he didn't go to Lin Haotian for the matter of relocating the people of Youguo, but in the end, it was all fruitless under Lin Haotian's combination of soft and hard, this time, he wanted to make it clear to Lin Haotian completely, and he must not go on like this again.

Now, Lin Haotian and Song Hao are both in the county capital, discussing and discussing the next battle situation.

Laid the county seat Qiyuan, the next step is to march to Nanyue, this is a difficult bone to gnaw, not only the defenders are many, but also the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, want to lay down Nanyue, it takes a lot of effort.

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with a safe tactic, and finally Song Hao felt tired and went to rest one after another, leaving only Lin Haotian and his soldiers to continue to discuss.

At this moment, a guard outside came in to report, and Chen Bo asked to see him.

After all, Chen Bo is the general of You Guo, and he must be very familiar with the situation in Nanyue City, Lin Haotian just wants to hear his opinion, since he took the initiative to come, he will invite him in.

After a short time, Chen Bo walked in from outside under the guidance of the guards.

Seeing Lin Haotian, Chen Bo bowed to him respectfully.

Lin Haotian said with a smile on his face: "General Chen, you came just in time. Ben Shuai is asking for advice. ”

Chen Bo was stunned and asked, "I don't know what General Lin has to ask the last general?"

Lin Haotian beckoned to him, called him to his approach, then lowered his head and pointed to the map spread out on the table, and said: "Next, our army is going to attack Nanyue, but the terrain of Nanyue is steep, and the defenders in the city are not less than 100,000. General Chen. What do you say?"

After hearing this, Chen Bo had no choice but to temporarily suppress the relocation of the people, and Zhengse replied: "General Lin is right, Nanyue is indeed a dangerous place. The high fortification of the city is one of them. Second. Its terrain is indeed very defensible, as far as I know, in times when there had been no battles before. There are a large number of rushing cars and giant stone throwers in Nanyue City, whether the rush is released out of the city or the stone thrower throws out the boulders, it will cause huge damage to the besieging side. Even if it is a million-strong army, it is not a wise move to storm Nanyue!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Haotian's heart became even heavier. It seems that in peacetime, You Guo has set Nanyue as a military stronghold, and now that the four-nation coalition is coming, Nanyue's preparations will be more sufficient, and it will be more difficult to fight.

"Does General Chen have a good plan to break the city?" Chu Lianyu couldn't help but ask beside him.

Chen Bo shook his head and said: "There is no good strategy to attack Nanyue at all, only to attack this way, but ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.

Chu Lianyu asked, "But what? General Chen has something to say, please speak!"

Chen Bo rolled his eyes and said: "However, I have some friendship with Gong Song, the head of Xiangshan County, if I go to persuade him, it is possible to persuade Gong Song to surrender." ”

Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu were surprised and delighted, if they could really persuade Gong Song to surrender and take Nanyue City without blood, then of course it would be the best.

Chu Lianyu said: "Since General Chen and Gong Song have a relationship, they should have said it earlier, and our army would not have to take such a hard time to capture the city." ”

Chen Bo shook his head and said: "Mr. I don't know, the friendship between the last general and Gong Song Gong is just average, there have been a few times of the same meal, can you say that you can move Lord Gong, the last general is also bottomless, now that Lord Gong is guarding Nanyue, the last general can only dare to try." ”

"I see. Chu Lianyu thought about it, felt that it was inappropriate, shook his head again and again, and said: "If it's just a mediocre relationship, then it's better for General Chen not to take risks personally, after all, now General Chen is the anti-You king, and Gong Song is the king of Zunyou, you rush to persuade you, but I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to persuade Gong Song, but you will also beat the dog with meat buns, and there will be no return." ”

Lin Haotian nodded, feeling that what Chu Lianyu said was reasonable. Now, Chen Bo is still very useful to himself, how can he easily let him take risks, in case he dies, the loss to his own side will be too great. He said: "For the matter of persuasion, General Chen will find someone to go on his behalf." ”

Chen Bo shook his head and said: "That would be too insincere, if I were Gong Song, I would never agree, so it is safest to go from the last general." ”

Chen Bo insisted on going to Nanyue City in person to persuade Gong Song, the head of Xiangshan County, although Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu felt that it was dangerous, but seeing that he was full of confidence and fearless, after some thought, the two finally nodded and agreed

Seeing Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu agree, Chen Bo immediately changed his conversation and talked about the main topic of his visit.

He said with a straight face: "General Lin, the population of my You country is already scarce, but now the Jin country is wantonly encouraging the people of You country to move outward, if this continues, I am afraid that when Nie Lin is expelled from the throne, my You country will also die due to serious population loss." ”

Lin Haotian and Chu Lianyu were stunned for a moment, the former waved his hand with a smile and said, "General Chen is too worried, population migration, that is a normal thing, and this situation is also in this situation in all countries, but I have never seen any country die because of this." ”

Chen Bo took a deep breath, yes, the people of various countries have migrated to each other, but it is mutual, and there is no fanfare and confusion like Jin Guo, Lin Haotian is obviously arguing with reason.

He said with a straight face: "But the current situation is completely different from what General Lin said......

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian had already interrupted: "Okay, General Gu, there is no need to say more about this matter, you mean this marshal understands, in the future, Ben Shuai will reduce the solicitation of the people of You Country." ”

Hearing him say this, Chen Bo's face softened a little, and he arched his hand and said: "In this way, the last general will thank General Lin, and I hope that the general will not break his promise in the future." ”

Lin Haotian's face immediately sank when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?" General Chen doesn't believe Ben Shuai's words?"

Chen Bo also realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, and said in a loud voice: "The last general has no such intention. ”

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded expressionlessly, didn't ask, waved his hand and said: "Since General Chen is still going to leave for Nanyue, let's go back and prepare as soon as possible!

Hearing that Lin Haotian had given the order to evict the guests, Chen Bo said, "Yes! The last general will retire first!" As he spoke, he took two steps back, then turned around and walked out of the lobby.

Waiting for him to leave, Chu Lianyu looked at Lin Haotian and asked curiously, "Your Excellency really plans to give up the relocation of the people of You Kingdom?"

"Hmph!" Lin Haotian sneered and said: "What kind of thing is Chen Bo, how can he influence my decision, but this person is a tough guy who is loyal to You Guo, for such a person, blindly suppressing it will not work, when the time is right, you have to 'pamper' him, only in this way will he do his best for us!"

Chu Lianyu smiled and said, "Since the adults have already planned it, then the lower officials don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”

Lin Haotian shrugged his shoulders and folded his hands behind his back, but smiled silently.

After leaving the county government, Chen Bo did not return to his residence, but went to the office of Jinguo to recruit You Ren.

Lin Haotian said it well, and he will reduce the solicitation of Youren in the future, but it is not clear when this 'future' will be.

After thinking about it, he decided that he had to go again, and warned Hong Hao, who was in charge of collecting the people of Youguo, and asked him to restrain a little as well. (To be continued......)
