looked at the chasing soldiers in front and back, left and right, and Song Wuwei, who had been separated from the corpse.

Liu Hu felt a burst of regret in his heart, Song Wu was too naïve for this person, just like when Wei Ran let him fight with Wei Ran in the same camp in a few words, he was really defenseless.

But the current situation does not allow Liu Hu to think too much, Liu Hu is a fierce general, different from a veteran like Song Wuwei who is over half a hundred years old

Under the cover of his personal guards, Liu Hu, who had a high combat strength, quickly fought a bloody way, and then went to the mountains.

But after running into the mountains, where to go next becomes a big question.

Liu Hu looked at the few remaining guards around him, and fell into a dilemma for a while.

Suddenly, a personal guard proposed: "Why don't you go to Yiyang and join General Wang Xian?" ”

But this suggestion was immediately opposed by Liu Hu, Wang Xian had already joined Xiao Yin's camp on the surface, where did Liu Hu dare to go.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Hu decided to order everyone to drag off their armor and go to the nearby villages to exchange for the clothes of ordinary people, and then marched all the way east to find a ferry to cross the Yangtze River.

Song Wuwei died, and Yuan Yi carried Song Wuwei's head back to Xiangyang City.

All the soldiers were taken aback when they saw Song Wuwei's head, and they all drew their swords and looked at Yuan Yi angrily.

Yuan Yi was not in a hurry, but cried bitterly and said, "Liu Hu is the whistle that Wei Ran planted next to General Song. He killed General Song and fled, and it was too late when I arrived. ”

This statement made everyone suspicious. Yuan Yi and Song Wuwei are brothers on weekdays, and everyone also sees it, so no one thinks about whether Yuan Yi killed Song Wuwei at the first time.

Soon, under Yuan Yi's fanning of the flames, Xiangfan's soldiers were all angry. Song Wuwei usually treats the people and his subordinates very well, but now that there is a sudden change, everyone wants to avenge Song Wuwei in their hearts, and the flames of anger fill everyone's hearts.

Yuan Yi saw that the time was ripe, so he shouted: "If there is no way today, Wei Ran villain will eradicate the robe everywhere." Even General Song didn't let go, what should I do today? Only by following King Zhao to resist together, can the brothers have a way to live, otherwise after a long time, we will be the next Song general. ”

After some agitation, many soldiers responded one after another, and everyone supported Xiao Zhi, the king of Yong, and defected to Xiao Yin under the leadership of Xiao Zhi, and jointly attacked Jiankang.

Wang Xian, who was stationed in Yiyang, heard this a few days later, and secretly said bad in his heart.

But at this time, he was Xiao Yin's person on the surface, so he asked people to write to Xiao Yin, ostensibly to congratulate His Majesty on recovering Xiangfan without much effort, but the words changed, and said that now Xiangfan's army is moving south and eastward, Xiangfan is empty, if Northern Qin takes the opportunity to attack, even if we seize the world and lose Xiangfan, the Northern Qin Bingfeng points directly at Jiangling, which is also very inappropriate.

Wang Xian's words obviously also made Xiao Yin fall into deep thought. After Heng directly read the letter, he was also full of thoughts.

Now Yongwang Xiao blames Song Wuwei for scheming, so that everyone has no worries is indeed a great achievement, but it is indeed very difficult if the Xiangfan army attacks in a big way and loses Xiangyang, it is really difficult to recapture it.

After careful consideration, Xiao Yin added Xiao Zhi as Shangshu's right servant to guard Xiangfan, and at the same time crowned Wang Xian as a hussar general to assist Xiao Zhi in guarding Xiangfan.

In Hengzhi's view now, without Xiangfan's worries, Wei Ran used no more than 100,000 soldiers. On the frontal battlefield, Hengzhi was confident that he would defeat Wei Ran.

Wei Ran has now been facing off against Xiao Yin's rebel vanguard in Ochre Qi for more than a month, but Wei Ran has not been able to sneak attack the rear as planned.

Because Hengzhi did not appear, the leader was Hengheng. Hengheng was also in great pain when he looked at Ochre City, he originally intended to attack Ochre Qi by surprise, but he didn't expect Wei Ran to guard Ochre Qi with heavy troops, so it would take time to attack the city.

Wei Ran set up a camp on the edge of the ochre on the mountain, not in the city, and under the echo of the two, Hengheng lost his troops in the month.

But Wei Ran's life was not easy, he already knew about Hengxuan's alliance with Northern Qin to attack the Huainan army, and Xiao Ju dispatched the Tianxiong army to rescue Liu Renye.

Wei Ran only felt at this moment that he usually felt that he had no last resort, but he ignored that Heng Zhinai was an old fox. Although he has a secret communication with Yuan Shan, he is afraid that he also has some dealings with Northern Qin, even if he can win now, I am afraid that Southern Qi will also suffer heavy losses.

After a few days of stalemate, news was suddenly received that someone had crossed the river from the north bank and defected to Wei Ran.

Wei Ran was curious, but after seeing that it was Liu Hu, Wei Ran was surprised: "Why is General Liu here?" Still dressed like this? ”

Because Liu Hu and the others are all in tatters, how can they have the demeanor of the generals of the unified army in the past. And the face is yellow and thin, and I haven't eaten much in the past few days.

Wei Ran asked people to prepare food and drinks while asking about the situation.

Liu Hu ate a few bites of something, and suddenly his voice became painful, and his cry led several people to cry together.

Thinking that the grievances of the past few days were vented at this moment, Liu Hu cried heartbreakingly, and even grabbed Wei Ran regardless of etiquette and said: "King Qin, you have to be the master of our old general!" ”

It was only at this time that Wei Ran knew that Song Wuwei was beheaded by King Xiao of Yong, and the news of the loss of Southern Yongzhou.

Wei Ran was in turmoil at this time, but he still pretended to be calm and appeased: "General Liu, don't panic, this king will definitely avenge General Song." ”

After saying this, Wei Ran called the generals and asked Xiao Ju to pass the news to Jiankang.

Now it was a very difficult situation, and all the west of the ochre had fallen, and I thought that I had put my country in such a difficult situation.

Wei Ran couldn't help but wonder if all this was done wrong, and whether it was the most appropriate thing to do step by step.

But with the arrival of the sacrificial wine Cui Huan, all Wei Ran's doubts disappeared.

Cui He said: "King Qin, Your Majesty has a will, so that King Qin does not need to blame himself, this is the will of heaven. The top priority is how to win quickly, as long as there is a war, there will always be people who die. ”

Seeing Wei Ran's slightly embarrassed face, Cui He said with relief: "The most unpredictable in the world, people's hearts." It is more unpredictable than the human heart, only the original heart of man. King Qin didn't need to worry too much. ”

"Now Your Majesty ordered me to come, specially dispatched 30,000 sailors, and now Huiji County took advantage of General Zhang's absence to take the opportunity to rebel, General Zhang took 5,000 soldiers and horses back to attack Wu County, King Qin does not need to worry too much. Just focus on the enemy in front of you.

Wei Ran listened, and also said melancholy: "I made a mistake, I thought that I could control the rebellion of the kings in Ochre and other places, so I evacuated the people in advance, so as not to be devastated by the Holy Spirit, but I never thought that Yongzhou and Nanyu Prefecture would also suffer this catastrophe, and this king is really ashamed." Now that Hengheng's soldiers are prosperous, what good strategy can Brother Cui have to break the enemy? ”

When Cui Huan heard this, he only thought about it for a while, and then replied: "At the beginning, the King of Qin wanted to lure the main force of the thief army to the ochre generation, and then sent an army to cut off the enemy's grain route in the shallow stream, which is the narrowest part of the Yangtze River, the water flow is turbulent, and the passage of ships is inconvenient. ”

Wei Ran nodded after hearing this, and said: "That's right, but now there are a large number of thieves, only with Hengheng as the vanguard, they will besiege us in Ochre, although I have a backhand, but if I can't hold the Ochre defense line, the thieves advance to the vicinity of Jiankang, it will be quite unfavorable, and the people will be panicked and the world will be scattered." ”

Cui He sat down casually, and then looked at the anxious Wei Ran for a long time, but couldn't help laughing.

Wei Ran was quite annoyed when he heard the movement, and complained: "Brother Cui, you still have the heart to laugh at me now. ”

Cui Huan waved his hand hurriedly and said, "I'm not laughing at you, but it's rare to see you so anxious." It's very rare that you've always looked like you've won a victory, but now you're so distressed by it. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ran also knew that Cui Huan was beating him, so he should not be impatient.

So Wei Ran calmed down and said humbly: "What's the best plan?" ”

Cui Huan said smoothly: "In the past, the Northern Qin drank the Yangtze River, and the King of Qin trapped the thief army in Xinting, and then wiped it out in one fell swoop. Therefore, if it cannot be attacked for a long time, it is possible to turn to attack Baling, and then go to Xiangzhou, completely occupying most of the territory of Southern Qi. ”

"Now the King of Qin only needs to follow the example of the beginning, but the strategy has to make some changes, but people can dig various tunnels in the city, transfer food to the tunnels, and then arrange ambushes in the tunnels to lure the thieves into the city." Cui Huan said a bold idea at this time.

It turned out that he wanted to set up tunnels in many places in the city, and set up tunnels in secret places, and then hid some of the soldiers and food in the tunnels.

Then Wei Ran was defeated, so that Hengheng took advantage of the situation to break through the ochre, so that the besieging party became Wei Ran, and the thief army got the news and must send troops to relieve the siege, so that Hengheng could attract most of them.

The reason why Hengheng must control the ochre is because this place is quite important, occupying this place, and the Yangtze River is a flat river in the future, which can lead directly to Jiankang.

If you don't capture this place, you can't feel at ease, like nails, rooted in the path you have to pass, and the terrain here is especially suitable for fighting passing ships.

Wei Ran then knew in his heart, so he asked the guards to notify the ochre guards overnight.

At this time, Liu Renye was seriously injured and could not get out of bed. Guangling City has been trapped for ten days, and the imperial reinforcements have not yet arrived.

The officers and men of the Huainan Army all took revenge on their mortal intentions and fiercely resisted the attack from Hengxuan.

Heng Xuan is also very anxious in his heart, he made a deal with Northern Qin, once he captures Guangling and defeats the Huainan army, he will give up all the land of Southern Yuzhou to Northern Qin, so Northern Qin is also quite hard to attack the city.

But for a long time, Fu Yuan, the general of the Northern Qin, was quite dissatisfied, and now the soldiers of the Northern Qin suffered heavy losses, so they began to become a rear army, and let Hengxuan's troops go to attack the city.

Although Heng Xuan was angry in his heart, there was nothing he could do, after all, Northern Qin was all elite soldiers, and his soldiers and horses, except for a small number of Huaiyin defenders, were basically composed of homeless people, and their combat effectiveness was low.

However, many people were reluctant to let the army formed by the displaced people come forward to die, and there were deserters every night.

Heng Xuan then found Fu Yuan and said: "General Fu, the Huainan army is the elite of a hundred battles, and now they just want to break through, it is better to encircle three and lack one, let go of an opening, and then cover up and kill." ”

Fu Yuan looked at Heng Xuan, and said while drinking: "Master Heng, this matter is not unexpected, but the governor of my family has given me the latest order, the Huainan army is the enemy of our army, take this opportunity to annihilate it, and it will be counted as a complete achievement." ”

Heng Xuan didn't expect Northern Qin's appetite to be so big, and he actually wanted to swallow the elite of the Huainan Army, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

But Heng Xuan then also felt that if the main force of the Huainan Army escaped and returned to Jiankang, this was the division of tigers and wolves, and Wei Ran would be able to use it in a new handy, which would be quite unfavorable to the domestic war.

Fu Yuan sneered at this time: "Our Majesty also said before that Jiangnan is a good minister. But Jiangnan is a bit of a deposed emperor, in just a few years, there are already a few emperors? ”

Listening to Fu Yuan's ridicule, Heng Xuan just clenched the sword in his hand, but then said: "Your country is not very peaceful, and now between Yuanshan Minguan and the vassal king, isn't it also fighting openly and secretly. ”

Fu Yuan sighed when he heard this. Then he threw away the wine jug and said: "Heng Gongzi, please step up the siege of the city, the general still needs to be restored." Tomorrow, I will send the elite to personally attack the south gate guarded by the female doll of Lei Duoer. So, it's sincere enough. ”
