"Hu Shuai, the prince summoned me to Yiling, are you going to do something to Hanzhong?" Deng Ang said with some excitement.

Yu Geng had just returned to Baoqing Mingjian Division with the prince's edict arrived, looking at the excited Deng Ang, Yu Geng said with a smile: "You kid don't need to be so excited, you just borrow the past temporarily, the fight in Hanzhong is still dominated by Meng Huan, the prince asked you to go to Shangyong to make peace with him, it seems that the candidate for the vanguard has also been decided, Zhou Ce, this kid is blessed!" ”

"Hey, hey! I can't care so much, I'm bored to death in Baoqing every day, you are in Lingling, and Zheng Xi is also busy in Chenxian. ”

"Okay, just go, but I don't have any troops in my hand to transfer to you, you'd better send a quick letter to the prince, see if you want to transfer Wuling's soldiers and horses over, the old man estimates that it is not needed, but you always have to ask."

Bidding farewell to Deng Ang, Yu Geng fell into deep thought, he didn't have to worry about it, the princess was about to arrive in Changsha, the prince's major event was approaching, and the matter of Xingtan had to be solved, so he locked himself in the room alone.

On the second day, the commander of the Tiger Marshal ordered to besiege Hengyang from now on, solve the Lincheng incident, and completely solve the Xingtan matter.

This matter was not reported to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and it was calculated as a self-propose, but this time, whether it was the Dadu Governor's Mansion or Santai or even the People's Procuratorate, they did not ask the Tiger Marshal's Mansion, and even the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Xitai added orders, in the hearts of everyone, especially the old people in Xifu, Xingtan was the place where he started, and it was understandable to take it back, and if he couldn't get it back, Yu Geng was incompetent, and at the same time, the rotation of the People's Sentiment House had begun to issue a matter to the Xifu to urge Meng Yan to establish the country and ascend the throne. And the promoter of the whole incident seems to be the "flame" headed by Quartz and Zhuo Baiqing, but in fact, the driving force behind the scenes is the civilian system headed by the cabinet.

"Auntie, something is wrong with the development of things!" Lu Wanyu said worriedly.

Gu Qingfeng was also caught off guard at the moment, too fast, the news that Meng Yan agreed to establish a country and ascend the throne only revealed a little intention, and it affected the entire Xifu in a short period of time, just arrived in Changsha, Huo Youjian was also quite interested, just settled down Gu Qingfeng a little, and immediately went to Mufu Mountain to strengthen the defense.

After coming back and reporting to Gu Qingfeng, he rushed to Yongning under the rule of Qizhou non-stop, he hesitated for so long, and finally decided to start with Yongning, and by the way, he informed Xuansong that he hoped to get his support, Xuansong did not hesitate, allocated Qizhou soldiers and horses to Huo Youji, and even secretly arrived in Ezhou to support him.

This flattered Huo Youji, the princess and the two marshals as the backup, what an honor, this also made him bold, the swaggering Chen Bing Caishan, approached Chaisang, Chaisang is the gateway of Jiujiang, and Jiujiang is the southern gate of the Chu Dynasty and the military town in the river.

According to Jiujiang, it has never been a simple task, so Zhong Roulan handed over this task to his most trusted and reassuring Zhong Qian, who has not made mistakes over the years, and the friction with Daning and Xifu can also be successfully resolved, he never thought that there would be a large attack, in his cognition, Daning's goal has always been the north, and the goal of Xifu has always been Luo Chen.

Now Huo Youji's fanfare and preparation for the attack made him a little unprepared, but he was not afraid, Huo Youji was just a small character, and there were many famous generals in Xifu, if he came to Yu Geng or something, he would indeed be nervous, he occupied the heavenly danger Chaisang, and it was a big deal to retreat.

"Jing'an Gong, the enemy vanguard has set up camp at Xixin Bridge on the south bank, should we beat them back?" The military advisor Yan Yu flattered Zhong Qian with an idea.

Everyone in Dachu knows that the queen mother Zhong is the real family, there are already rumors that as long as the south goes to Chenjing, the queen mother will follow the example of the Zhaoyang Empress to ascend the throne as the emperor, Zhong Qian is a member of the Zhong clan, and a general in the army, and will definitely be a vassal king who leans towards one side in the future, although there is no ability from the dragon, there is still the consciousness of the tiger.

"If the general of Chai Sang doesn't even have a way to deal with the thief vanguard, he can also come to see him, Mr. Yan, we can't easily send troops, stationing Chai Sangkou is the most important thing." Zhong Qian could see Yan Yu's attitude, and he also understood what he meant, and it was possible to make meritorious contributions by taking the initiative to attack, but Zhong Qian had no intention of provoking Xifu at all, in case he annoyed them, wouldn't it be boring to transfer a general-level figure to him?

"Jing'an is wise, the thieves crossed the river but camped at Xixin Bridge, and it is estimated that it is only harassment, and most of his men and horses are still in Yongning."

"Mr. Yan, the defenders of Chaisangkou must be strengthened, but the defenders of the Hukou camp cannot be relaxed, and my general will order Jiujiang to send another 5,000 people to strengthen the Hukou camp, and I know that Xifu will not join forces with Daning!"

Yan Yu retreated with an expression of admiration, and his face immediately became gloomy as soon as he came out, and he didn't know when a servant-like servant appeared next to him, only to hear Yan Yu say in a low voice: "Tell the people in Yuzhang City not to expect anything from the Hukou camp, Zhong Qian is not a fool, be careful if you have a life to go!" ”

After the man left, Yan Yu changed his harmless expression again and walked straight out of the camp gate, heading towards Jiujiang, the order still has to be obeyed, the loss of Jiujiang is not good for everyone, at this time, you still have to be careful.

And the Xifu army in Yongning City is about to go crazy, the reason is that their commander made the adults disappear, Huo Youji was still chatting and bragging with the soldiers in the camp early in the morning, and he disappeared after lunch, and Sima in the army did not dare to make a noise, but asked for help from the Mingjian Division in the army, and it was not until near midnight that the Mingjian Division gave a reply, and the result of the reply made the Sima in the army want to die headlonging, and the Mingjian Division found that Huo Youjian and others appeared near Chihu when the sun set, and then they could not be detected again.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Sima in the army couldn't sit still anymore and planned to go to Xuansong in Ezhou to ask for help, and as soon as he came out of the big tent, he bumped into Huo Youji, who was covered in dew.

"Is Sima Peng in such a hurry that he is going to have breakfast?" Huo Youji said teasingly.

"Commander Huo, where have you been?! The main general left the Chinese army without permission, where are the military regulations?! Peng Sima asked sharply, he was really angry.

Huo Youji had an indifferent attitude and said: "Peng Sima dissipated his anger, I just went to the front line to take a look, you see that I am nothing!" ”

Although the generals in the Xifu army have their own characteristics and have very different temperaments, they are really the first to be as presumptuous as Huo Youji, a scoundrel, cunning, and smart are all described as a person, so I don't know how many military sticks I have beaten by General An in the Internal Guard Mansion.

"Commander Huo, I will truthfully report this matter to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion!" Peng Sima stalked his head and didn't intend to let him go.

Huo Youji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Peng Sima is free, do you want me to send a fast horse in the army to deliver the impeachment documents for you?" ”

"You..." Shameless, before Peng Sima could find a good explanation, Huo Youji suddenly said, "Old Peng, come here." ”

Huo Youji walked straight to the hanging map, pointed to Fenglin Town above, and said, "I plan to move the army to Fenglin Town, and the vanguard army of Xixin Bridge will let them retreat to Chi Town as a partial division to harass Chai Sangkou." ”

Peng Sima knew the importance and thought about it well, although he felt that this move was very risky, but it was a risky move, and said solemnly: "The subordinates agree, and the military counselor can transfer the division while reporting after agreeing." ”

Huo Youji glanced at Sima appreciatively and said, "I brought the counselor over yesterday, and now I will send your signature." ”

Peng Sima nodded, and said very seriously: "It's okay to let me sign, leave the task of leading the division to me, the Chinese army has Huo Commander and Counselors in the big problem, harassing Chai Sangkou has to go to a person with some weight to make Zhong Qian believe it, right?" ”

Huo Youjian was still a little hesitant, Peng Sima Peng Zhiyuan was recommended by the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and he was an outstanding student of both academies, so it was needless to say that the risk factor of leading the teacher alone.

Seeing Huo Youji's hesitation, Peng Zhiyuan said: "Huo commands, the fighter plane is fleeting, and it is not a woman's kindness. ”

Huo Youji clasped his fists at him and bowed: "Then there is Lao Peng Sima, the task of the partial division is to harass and contain the defenders of Chaisangkou, I will take Chaisang City as soon as possible, and then enter Jiujiang eastward, I hope you can hold on to the aid of the army." ”

Peng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The commander can rest assured, if you can't win, you can hide!" The old tradition of Xifu will not be dumbfounded. ”

Huo Youjian saw Peng Zhiyuan leave, and his heart suddenly became heavy, that partial division could not ask for help, could not retreat north, could only keep fighting with the enemy, 6,000 people, how many would survive in the end, I don't know, and I dare not guess.

Just do it, the joint document was directly handed over to the Ming Jian Division, they had the fastest way to pass it, and then the army began to move, all the movements were silent, the horses had no hooves, the people did not snore, day and night, and the three nights of rapid marching finally arrived in Fenglin Town.

As soon as he arrived, Huo Youji ordered someone to pass the news to Peng Zhiyuan and agreed to start fighting in two days, Huo Youji was confident that he would take Chaisang City within half a day, and it would be no problem to rush to Jiujiang in a day after taking it, but he was afraid that Jiujiang would be heavily guarded, and once he couldn't take it quickly, the entire battle situation would be unfavorable to him in an instant.

Taking advantage of the time to deliver the letter, Huo Youji once again took his personal guard and counselor directly to Jiujiang to inquire about the news.

"Son, the brothers have figured it out, Jiujiang has just transferred a group of people to the Hukou camp, and the current city defense of Jiujiang is no more than 20,000 people."

In a restaurant near the gate of Jiujiang City, Huo Youji took three people to eat and drink in the dress of businessmen.

"Lake Mouth?" The corners of Huo Youji's mouth rose slightly, to say that Zhong Qian does have some skills, he did not reduce the defense of Hukou because of himself, and he was a good defensive general, but Zhong Qian would not have thought that he would give up directly attacking Chai Sangkou, but went around behind him.

"If we attack Jiujiang, how long will it take for the soldiers and horses of Chaisangkou to return to reinforcement at the earliest?" This is what Huo Youzhi is most concerned about.

"They have two ways to return to help, one is by land, which takes about three hours, and the other is by water, and the Yanghu sailor can arrive in two hours." The military counselor quickly said that this was their duty, and it was necessary to grasp the movements of the enemy army in detail.

"That means we have to take Jiujiang in two hours, and we have to rearm our defenses?" Huo Youji had a headache, although there were not many 20,000 defenders, even if their defense was poor, it would be impossible to control a huge Jiujiang City in two hours.

Difficult! It's so hard! The three of them were silent for a while, and Huo Youji, who was staring at the city tower, said: "If the Jiujiang Defense is under our control in advance, we can solve the return of Chaisangkou and Yanghu Water Division, right?" ”

"Well, yes, at least on the surface." The Counsellor was surprised.

Then Huo Youji made the most daring decision in his life, and it was also the wisest decision, and said to the counselor: "You go out of the city and rush back to Fenglin Town immediately!" ”
