When Gao Cheng learned that the main commander of Hanzhong in the north would be Dugu Xin, rather than Yuwentai personally leading the army, he guessed that the other party had made up his mind to wade into the troubled waters south of the Yangtze River.

Although Yuwentai's strength is not as good as Nanliang, the two are obviously not the same in Gao Cheng's heart, otherwise he would not formulate a strategy of first making it easy and then making a difficult move, and make a move on Nanliang first.

Now Yuwentai doesn't want to watch Gao Cheng's conspiracy succeed, and tries to get a piece of the pie, but he is also in Gao Cheng's arms.

In any case, it is much easier to fight with Yuwentai's army in Jingnan than to climb over the mountains and mountains and go south through the Shu Road.

Gao Cheng didn't dare to hope for Yuwentai's luck, whether it was the original time and space, or this era, the other party occupied Bashu without much effort.

Yuwentai will go east to fight for Jingnan this time, and he will definitely leave enough troops to guard the dangerous pass of Xiongguan, after all, he himself took advantage of Xiao Ji to go north and attack Shu lightly, and he also had to prevent the loss of Guanzhong, and the Qi army took advantage of the situation to go south.

Today's Luoyang is calm and calm, Gao Cheng was worried about arousing the vigilance of the Xiao family brothers, so he did not mobilize for war, nor did he use the clumsy excuse of building a mausoleum.

You can't treat others as fools, if you use this method once, you won't be able to deceive people.

But with Hu Luguang leading troops to move to Shangyong, the Xiao family brothers in Jiangnan are already fighting hard, preparing to stage a fratricidal drama for the world during the national funeral.

Jiangzhou, the town of Xiao Yi, is undoubtedly a big state.

In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the clothes were in the south, and the Jin room was partial to the south of the Yangtze River, in order to balance the strong feudal domain of Jingzhou, so the seven counties of Yuzhang, Poyang, Luling, Linchuan, Nankang, Jian'an, and Jin'an of Yangzhou and Wuchang, Guiyang, and Ancheng of Jingzhou were divided into seven counties, and a total of ten counties were Jiangzhou, making it the barrier of Jiangdong.

These ten counties have a vast area, equivalent to extending from Wuhan, Hubei, through parts of Changsha, Hunan, to Fuzhou, Fujian, and the northerners also brought a large number of displaced people to Jiangzhou.

In order to balance the strong domain of Jingzhou, the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty artificially created the strong domain of Jiangzhou as a barrier, which is to strengthen Jiangzhou to control Jingzhou.

There are pros and cons to the strategy of strengthening Jiangzhou to control Jingzhou, the advantage is that Jiangzhou does play the role of a barrier, since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as long as Jiangzhou has a strong feudal town to defend and resist, few people can raise troops in Jingzhou to succeed.

It is worth noting that whether it is Huan Xuan or Xiao Yan and others, they can succeed in Jingzhou, they all have one thing in common, the Jiangzhou defense line is nothing.

The disadvantages are also obvious, if the Jiangzhou strong clan starts an incident and sends troops to build health, the distance is closer and easier, and there are few obstacles along the way.

Therefore, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Jiangzhou had another name, that is, an anti-thief factory and a rebel base.

Since Liu Jun, Emperor Xiaowu of Liu Song Dynasty, raised troops from Jiangzhou, the strong feudal lords who guarded this place did not go to Jiankang to win the title, and they were all incompetent Jiangzhou assassins.

Therefore, the Southern Dynasties were dividing the land of Jiangzhou in successive dynasties, but in Xiao Yan's later years, because Gao Cheng seized the Jianghan Plain, the troops pointed directly at Jiangnan, in order to deal with the threat from the north, he changed the convention, he placed his son Xiao Yi in Jiangzhou, but also strengthened Jiangzhou, intending to make him the country's domain.

Now sitting in Jiangzhou, Xiao Yi can be said to be a soldier with enough food, and there are more generals such as Wang Sengbi, Wang Lin, and Du Gong under his command, of course, he knows what Xiao Lun is doing, but out of confidence in his own strength, he is also willing to seek skin with the tiger.

The throne of the Son of Heaven in Jiankang Taicheng, who doesn't want to sit on it.

Wang Shengbi was worried that the Northern Qi would take advantage of the chaos to move south, but Xiao Yi relaxed his vigilance on the grounds that Gao Cheng had an alliance with him.

After all, everyone in the world knows that there is still a difference between Gao Cheng and his father Gao Huan, and he still takes the covenant more seriously, and he has not done anything to attack the alliance so far.

Wang Seng repeatedly persuaded him, after all, Gao Cheng had never betrayed the alliance before, and that was because the benefits he obtained were not enough to make him ruin his political reputation, but in the face of the temptation to seize Jiangnan, he was not allowed to wait for the Northern Qi Emperor to sell at a good price at this time.

A piece of advice, but it annoyed Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's suspicion is much heavier than Gao Cheng's.

Thinking that Wang Sengbi stopped himself from raising troops, it was his heart to Jiankang, so he drew a knife on the spot and slashed Wang Sengbi, if it were not for the generals begging for mercy, Wang Sengbi might really die on the spot.

Although he was treated with a doctor, he was thrown into prison.

"Uncle Yue, if you are in prison for a few days, the son-in-law will intercede with the king for the father-in-law, and then the king will summon him, and ask the father-in-law not to disobey the king's wishes."

The son-in-law Du Gong, who came to visit the prison, persuaded him.

"Got it."

Wang Shengbian's expression was a little depressed, he only replied to this sentence, and then there was no more words.

Obviously, he was loyal and outspoken this time, but Xiao Yi drew a knife and cut him, which made Wang Shengbi suffer a huge blow.

He was wounded by a knife, but it hurt his heart.

Forty-three years ago, Wang Shengbi followed his father Wang Shennian from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Southern Liang, and when he was older, he was appointed as a Zuo Changshou to follow Xiao Yi, who was six years old at the time, to guard Jiangling.

Wang Shengbi almost watched Xiao Yi grow up, of course he knew that he was suspicious by nature, but he didn't expect that the main ministers would be with him for thirty-seven years, but he still doubted his loyalty and easily drew his sword.

Du Gong knew that his father-in-law had experienced setbacks and had no idea about himself for a while, so he also offered his farewell, preparing to wait for Xiao Yi to be in a good mood before arguing for Wang Seng.

Xiao Yi's temper came and went quickly, and sure enough, before the incident, in response to the intercession of Du Gong and others, Wang Shengbi was released and the official was reinstated.

Wang Seng Bian, who endured this catastrophe, no longer opposed the army, and he still participated in various pre-war preparations with all his heart.

But Xiao Yi's knife finally cut off the friendship between the two for thirty-seven years, and now Wang Seng argues that Xiao Yi is just the loyalty of his subordinates to serve the lord.

And Xiao Lun, who was in Xiangzhou, was already ready at this time, and was confidently waiting for the northern war report.

On the ninth day of the fourth month of April in the fourth year of Zhaode of the Northern Qi Dynasty (551), Hu Luguang and Xi Digan successively crossed the new city and arrived at Shangyong County.

The son who was previously appointed as the county guard of Shangyong and Xincheng has been transferred to Luoyang and became a Beijing official, Fu Meng had expected this, after all, when he surrendered, the Qi envoy clearly rejected the request of his descendant Shangyong and Xincheng.

Even Duan Shao, Wang Sizheng and other henchmen who were guarding other states had to be transferred frequently, and Fu Meng had already been mentally prepared, and it was not bad for his son to be a Beijing official.

Now thinking back to the original request, Fu Meng feels funny, with the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty, how can he set a precedent for a small army to open a world domain.

Hu Luguang left 20,000 sailors under the command of Di Gan to be stationed in Shangyong to prepare for Gao Cheng's future southward movement.

In the upper reaches of the Han River, the water is turbulent and the water surface is narrow, and it is difficult for the Northern Qi Naval Division to do anything, but Gao Cheng insists on advancing by land and water, just for the heart of the sons of the Xiao family.

On April 10, after a short rest in Shangyong, Hu Luguang asked divination to predict good luck and evil, and asked for divination before setting out for the expedition, which has always been Hu Luguang's habit.

Bu Deji, Hu Luguang then took the governor Song Zixian to lead 10,000 people as the vanguard, personally accompanied 10,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 state and county soldiers for the Chinese army, Dadu Governor Dugu Yongye led 30,000 infantry soldiers for the rear army, and Wei Digan personally led 20,000 sailors, advancing by land and water, and going north along the Han River.

Song Zixian was originally a general of Hou Jing's army, attacking the battle of Jianghan, Hou Jing won the king's title, served as a pioneer all the way, fought bravely, and made outstanding achievements, Gao Cheng promoted Hou Jing's remaining more than 10,000 people as soldiers.

This time, Gao Cheng recruited Jiang and Han soldiers for Hu Luguang, and the 10,000 people under Hou Jing also went north and were led by Song Zixian.

Dugu Yongye, who is the governor of the rear army, is even more qualified, and when Gao Cheng was the prince, he personally went to Jinyang to dig the generals under Gao Huan, and he has been guarding the pass all these years, and now he has finally been transferred to the front line.

Weixing County, originated from the Three Kingdoms Cao Wei period, Cao Pi took the meaning of "Cao Wei Xingsheng", and was relocated from Xicheng County.

Its place of governance has changed repeatedly, since the rebellion of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, it was determined in Xicheng County (northwest of Ankang, Shaanxi) on the north bank of the Han River.

Dugu Xin assigned Yang Zhong to the front line to guard Wei Xing, not to kill or injure many enemy troops outside the enemy's country, but at least to exhaust the enemy.

In the past ten years, in order to prevent Gao Cheng from sending troops north along the Han River to invade Hanzhong, Yuwentai built more fortresses and fortresses on both sides of the Han River in Weixing County, and these fortresses were nails on the way of the Qi army, waiting for them to be pulled out one by one.

Of course, Dugu Xin knew that Xicheng County was small and difficult to defend, so he explained Yang Zhong's task, so that when the Northern Qi army came to Nanzheng City, it was already sleepy and tired, so it was convenient for him to find fighters.

Hu Luguang looked at the beacon forts and castles marked on the map, and he also had a headache.

If it is only a siege, so many fortresses, a large number of troops will inevitably be dispersed, and if left unchecked, the grain route will be threatened, and they must really be pulled out.

Song Zixian, the vanguard general of Hulu Guangming, sent people to provoke and try to lure the snake out of the hole, but the other party could not defend it, so that he only had the means of attacking.

But one by one, when will it be fought, at the military meeting, Hu Luguang smashed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said:

"Surrender outside the fort first, if you resist stubbornly, after the breakthrough, the defenders will not leave a living mouth, and bring their corpses to the next fortress outside the fortress Jingguan!"

In the tent, all the governors responded to the order, the Son of Heaven really wanted to blame, and there was also Hu Luguang who stood up, they just obeyed the order.

The so-called Jingguan is not a Taoist temple, but a high mound formed by gathering enemy corpses.

Don't capture this kind of thing, it hasn't happened since Gao Huan Jianyi, especially when Gao Cheng was in power, he engaged in human trafficking with Nanliang, and made several profits.

But Hu Luguang's personality is upright and impatient, and when he is extraordinary, he does extraordinary things, does not scare the defenders of Fengbao, and really fights all the way to the city of Nanzheng, not to mention the time and strength, and the casualties of the soldiers will not be less.

It stands to reason that those who are handsome are the most taboo to be impatient, but Hu Luguang with such a character has been fighting with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the original time and space for 20 years, and after more than 100 battles, he has almost no defeat.

The reason for this is not only that Hu Luguang understands the art of war and has a strategy, but also that he can share weal and woe with the soldiers, win the support of his subordinates, and serve him to the death.
