Lu Qian cried miserably, even with the people around him, the atmosphere was inevitably bleak, but He Ruobi only looked at Lu Qian silently:

This old man said that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was loyal and patriotic, but in fact, he was still afraid of death and ran away, didn't he?

If you hate yourself for not dying in Bazhou, be ashamed of the court, and be ashamed of your majesty, just listen to it.

However, He Ruobi is also a defeated general at the moment, and he has no position to mock others, so he endured it and endured it, and then said:

"Lu Thorn History, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, don't blame yourself too much, when this is critical, you and I should work together to fight this thief from the south."

"Why resist the enemy?"

"The king of Baling County ordered me to have an overview of Jiangbei's military affairs, and Bazhou, Hengzhou, Jiangzhou, Luozhou, Nansizhou and other prefectures and counties should listen to my moderation.

"General He Ruo is young and promising, and he should take on this great responsibility," Lu Qian wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The old man was worried that the Jiangbei states would not be able to protect it, and the total number of soldiers who could fight in the several states here was only 30,000, and most of them were lost in a big defeat on the bank of Ba Shui, if there were no reinforcements, it would be a matter of time before they were swallowed up by the Southern Dynasty, fortunately, the general came to the rescue, that ...... Dare to ask how many soldiers the general brought over this time, there are always 10,000, right? ”

Lu Qian's face was full of hope, He Ruobi quietly put aside his eyes, and said calmly and shamelessly: "Hehe, it's almost ......."

"That's good, that's good." Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice that except for He Ruobi, everyone's expressions were a little strange, and their smiles were a little reluctant.

This can't be blamed on He Ruobi, He Ruobi is short of people right now, Lu Qian's identity as the assassin of Bazhou can also attract a lot of routs, and this old man is so afraid of death, if he tells people that he actually has less than 6,000 people, this old man will definitely turn around and run, right?

So He Ruobi told a little lie...... In fact, this can't be considered a lie, six thousand, rounded some is also 10,000, as for the specific number, Lu Qian didn't ask...... Of course, I didn't tell him if I asked. Life itself is so difficult, so why care about so many details?

In short, in order to win this volley battle, He Ruobi also let go...... At the same time, the situation on Wang Lin's side became less and less optimistic, almost at the same time as Huang Fayan captured the Lujiang River, Wu Mingche and Cheng Wenji broke through Tianchang, and turned to the north, heading to Shiliang City, Jingzhou, Huainan.

And Xiao Maha, who had been stationed in Chuxian County before, also led a main force, and the soldiers pointed straight to the north, as if they were going to rob Jiyin, but this trick of shaking a shot deceived others, but it couldn't fool Wang Lin, Wang Lin could see clearly, this person was clearly running towards Zhong and leaving!

Immediately did not dare to delay any longer, immediately mobilized all the soldiers and horses of Shouyang to the northwest to save Zhongli, and gave an order, the 30,000 soldiers in Shouyang who had just been trained for a period of time were all put on the battlefield and drove westward, which made everyone up and down puzzled.

Wu Mingche broke through Liuhe, he didn't go to save, Wu Mingche besieged Shiliang City, and he could still sit still with his sword pointing at Xuyi, but Xiao Maha led the army to the north, but it seemed that he wanted to capture Zhongli, Wang Lin was immediately like a tiger that blew up his hair, and he wanted to fight Chen Jun to the death.

This is not in line with Wang Lin's previous military strategy of "Taoguang and Obscure", and it is not in line with Wang Lin's personality, in the face of the generals' confusion, Wang Lin only has a few words:

"Wu Mingche sent Xiao Maha to the north, and what he did was not Jiyin, but Zhongli! Once Zhongli is lost, Chen's army will take advantage of the situation to go north, capture Renzhou, and cut off the north-south passage of our army! ”

"At that time, the army of Huaibei will not be allowed to pass, and the army of Huainan will not be allowed to escape, and I and you will be lambs to be slaughtered!"

Wang Lin was irritable and turned back and forth in the tent, there was no lack of fierceness between his eyebrows, Wang Lin had been pampered in recent years, and it was rare for him to be so murderous, at this time, he was angry, not to mention Wang Xiangui, a civilian person, even his old subordinates were sweating in horror.

"I began to suspect that Fan Yi was preparing to attack Yingkou, and now I am even more sure that Wu Mingche is fighting with the idea of surrounding and annihilating us!"

"His abacus is wonderful - Fan Yi dispatched on the western front, raided Yingkou, choked the passage of Huainan and Henan, he himself choked Renzhou, controlled the passage of Huaibei, and the entire Shouyang fell into his pocket...... At that time, he only needs to find a random river embankment, dig it up, and the city will be flooded immediately! ”

"I said a long time ago that from beginning to end, only Wu Mingche's Central Route Army and Fan Yi of the Western Front really played a decisive role. As for Ren Zhong's East Route Army and Huang Fa's West Route Army, there is nothing to worry about! ”

"But some people think that I, Wang Lin, am greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuse to fight, so I sue me for being black, now they should understand it, right?"

Speaking of this, Wang Lin's eyes glanced at Lu Qian, who had a dark face and didn't say a word...... Wang Lin snorted in his nose, turned his head directly and ignored him, and then faced the generals and said angrily:

"Wang Ba has really become Wang Ba after a long time, even Wu Mingche and Xiao Maha dare to bully me, if you don't teach them a lesson, they don't know what my Wang Lin's surname is...... Pass the order! ——”

The clerk immediately spread out the pen and paper, only to listen to Wang Lin's orders one by one:

"Ordered Zhu Daoyu to defend Shiliang City, drag Wu Mingche to the maximum extent possible, and dare to lose the city before Zhongli's victory or defeat is inconclusive, and behead!

"Ordered Lu Qian to stay in Shouyang, relying on the terrain of the hills west of Weishui and east of Shaobi, and stationed here to prevent Huang Fayan from taking advantage of the situation to attack!

"Ordered He Ruobi to die to protect Nan Sizhou, and Fan Yi and Zhou Jiong must not be allowed to cross Dabie Mountain one step!

"Wang Yi guarantees logistics, and it is necessary that the grain, grass, and equipment are counted before noon tomorrow, and Wang Xiangui and Wang Yan will go with me on the expedition!"

After finishing in one go, Wang Lin asked the clerk to pick up another piece of paper:

"Shangshu asked His Majesty to send Henan soldiers to rescue Shouyang, in addition, ask Pi Jinghe again, what does it mean that he squatted in Pengcheng and refused to come over, could it be that he waited for the day when Huainan was lost and then came down to collect my body? I don't know if it's me who dies first or if he dies first?! ”

The clerk's face was embarrassed, and Wang Lin's sharp eyes suddenly swept over:

"Write! Tell him that Ren Zhongdong Route Army is not to worry, even if he takes all Langxi, he will not be able to hinder the overall situation if he hits Shandong in one go, let him stop watching and see, if Huainan is lost, Huaibei can be safeguarded? ”

When Xiao Maha set off to the north, outside Shiliang City, Jingzhou, Chen's army had already been assembled.

Like many cities in Huainan, Shiliang City is also built according to the water system, there is a big lake on the side, and the canals and rivers are connected with each other, if you really want to reinforce quickly, take a small boat, you can go back and forth several times a day, but Wu Mingche, who is on the big ship of the Chinese army, does not drive the army to move quickly, standing on the deck to close his eyes and pretend to sleep. In addition to the sound of the water outside the ship and the drums and trumpets of the surrounding sergeants, there was also the sound of the people swaying.

There was a sound of the collision of armor leaves behind him, and Cheng Wenji, who was dressed in heavy armor, strode behind Wu Mingche, clasped his fists and said: "General, more than 14,000 people have been assembled, and as soon as the order is given, the city can be attacked!" ”

After Wu Mingche heard this, he bowed his head slightly, opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Start the siege step by step, and then you don't need to report it again, let people go to check what the reaction is on the Shouyang side." If Wang Lin does not die, it is difficult to tell about this victory or defeat after all. ”

Cheng Wenji was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Wu Mingche ask: "Shaoqing, have you heard the rumors from the court?" ”

Cheng Wenji paused, and then hesitated: "It is said that Your Majesty has the intention of withdrawing the army, but it is blocked by Xu Shangshu......"

Cheng Wenji raised his head and looked at Wu Mingche suspiciously, not knowing what Wu Mingche meant when he asked this. Wu Mingche closed his eyes and sighed again, and then said:

"Since the Zhou State lost Guanzhong, our general trend has been half gone, and it is inevitable that Your Majesty and the ministers will have concerns, but if this is the case, it is even more necessary to take back Huainan as soon as possible...... The Northern Dynasty was too strong, and the population of the Southern Dynasty was only a few million, so it could not compete with the Northern Dynasty at all.

If we can't take Huainan, at least more than ten years, more than twenty years, our dynasty will have the danger of losing the country, Your Majesty cherishes the feathers, and does not want to risk the north, but everyone will not think, without Huainan, in the face of a unified northern dynasty, how can our dynasty defend the country, only a small Yangtze River? ”

Cheng Wenji was speechless, Wu Mingche held the railing with both hands and looked at the river.

“…… I know that this trip is dangerous, and I hope God will help me, and this battle will be a complete success! ”
