In the middle of the Xuanguang Palace, a huge map was hanging, and Gao Wei was discussing military and political affairs with his ministers...... The red arrow marks the Chen army, and the black arrow marks the Qi army, but the map is not a dog-tooth situation.

Even a large number of Wenchen, who only know a little about military affairs, can see that the main force of the Qi army has been compressed to a dangerous situation by the Chen army, and the general trend of Huainan is almost one-sided to the Chen army, and Wang Lin, who is alone in Shouyang, will face siege from all directions, and it is precarious!

Gao Wei was facing the map, and under the candlelight of the bright hall, he stretched out his hand to Mosuo on the drawing, as if he wanted to hold the lance in his own hand and tear open this encirclement that was so entangled that people couldn't breathe, but what he could actually do was to remotely control it in Yecheng and assess the risks that might arise next.

When the scouts came with the latest news, the entire hall became more and more silent, almost silent. Gao Wei was actually very angry when he heard about the Southern Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance, especially when he was fighting with Yu Wenyong in Guanzhong, suffering from the enemy on his back, and he was also worried about the situation in Huainan day and night. It is precisely because of this that he hurried back to Yecheng in less than a month after Dingdingguan...... But for some reason, at this time, his mind was calm.

The emperor looked at the map, then looked at the rain-soaked generals at the bottom of the stairs, and said softly: "So, the decisive battle of Huainan is approaching?" ”

The general did not dare to face the Son of Heaven, so he only knelt down on one knee from a distance, raised his fists and saluted:

"Yes, Xiao Maha raised 10,000 troops, went north from Chuxian County, and said that he was taking Jiyin, and Wang Dadu Governor said that Wu Mingche was still under Shiliang City, and Jiyin after the detour and felling Shiliang was purely superfluous, and the purpose of Xiao Maha's trip must be Zhongli...... Conquering Zhongli and taking Renzhou north is their goal. As for Wu Mingche's department, he went to take Shiliang City, and then encircled and suppressed with Ren Zhong of the East Route Army, captured Xuyi, and then joined forces to the west, then Huainan had no power to return to heaven! ”

The emperor nodded: "Most of you governors are too careful, I can give him the power of the local military and government in this battle, so that he doesn't have to report to me in the future...... Since I dare to let him go back to Huainan, do I still doubt his loyalty? ”

He thought for a while, and then asked, "So, Wang Lin wants me to send reinforcements to him immediately?" ”

“…… This is exactly what the Metropolitan Governor meant in his previous recital. ”

Gao Wei glanced at Zu Ting, Zu Ting immediately presented the song, Gao Wei spread it out and looked at it, closed it again, and said, "Okay, I probably understand what Wang Lin means." The general got up slowly, saluted again, and was about to retreat, when Gao Wei suddenly beckoned: "Slow!" ”

The general immediately stood in a panic, not daring to say a word, Gao Wei stared at a bearskin coat on the couch, Gao Shun immediately understood, and draped the coat on the young general's body, the young general immediately bowed to the ground, choked up: "Your Majesty ......"

Cushman & Wakefield smiled, "Go, go, go......"

This general is none other than Wang Lin's eldest son, the prince of Baling County, Wang Jing.

At the beginning of the Huainan War, Wang Lin summoned all his sons to Huainan, which is also one of the reasons why Wang Lin has been frequently attacked in recent months...... Although Wang Lin kept saying that his family was loyal to the monarch and the country, but not many people in the Manchu courtiers believed in Wang Lin's innocence, after all, Wang Lin was a subordinate from the south, and he had also divided one side, and it was common for him to be secretly vigilant in his heart. Wang Lin sent the prince over, firstly, to show loyalty, and secondly, to once again send a signal that Huainan was in urgent need of reinforcements.

You don't believe me, I sent my son here, so, where are the reinforcements I want?

This is the central meaning of Wang Lin!

The emperor held his belt, slowly glanced at the circle of ministers, and asked: "Wang Lin's situation is so bad, what has Pi Jinghe been doing in the past few months, is it possible that he is really living in Pengcheng to retire?" Where are those people who said conclusively before that the Southern Dynasty was weak, but it was wiped out in one drum, urging Lu Qian and Wang Lin to hurry up and fight? Dumb? Do you have a good plan for me to repel the southern soldiers now? ”

In all fairness, Gao Wei would have to bear at least half of the responsibility for this matter, and if it weren't for Gao Wei to mobilize troops from all over the country for the westward expedition, Huainan would not have been weakened like that. But Gao Wei knew this matter in his own heart, but no person was stupid enough to take the emperor's responsibility.

Facts have also proved that Gao Wei far underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Southern Korean army, and most of the successive changes of dynasty from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasty were related to the specific military groups formed in the war against the North. For example, Liu Yujian and Song relied on the Beifu soldiers, Xiao Daocheng Jianqi relied on the armed forces he operated when he was stationed in Huaiyin, and Xiao Yanjian Liang relied on the Yongzhou armed forces...... Only Chen Baxian had no experience of fighting in the north before he became the ruler of Jiankang, but when he got rid of Wang Shengbi and controlled the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he twice thwarted the Northern Qi army's river-crossing offensives and was able to establish the Chen Dynasty.

A truly military state.

Moreover, compared with the previous Song, Qi, and Liang, Chen was under greater military pressure from the north, and the military forces cooperated with the Chen royal family to jointly fight against the north to maintain their own survival. From this point of view, the characteristics of the "military community" of the Chen Dynasty are particularly obvious. The imperial court was unanimously supported by warlords of all sizes.

At this time, the financial situation of the Chen Dynasty was very good, and it was much richer than the Northern Zhou.

Therefore, don't imagine Chen Chao to be so weak...... Gao Wei was stunned, and now he is indeed confused, according to the original historical trajectory, Chen Jun should not be so fast, it took more than half a year to determine the Huainan war situation, the so-called Taijian Northern Expedition is only a passing pass from a military point of view, this time there is no pig teammate like Wei Pohu to hinder, Wang Lin was parachuted in advance, and the war was still a mess......

But Gao Wei obviously ignored a few details, one is that the situation is different, the growing national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty makes the Southern Dynasty dare not fight a war of attrition that is beneficial to the Northern Qi side, Wu Mingche's advance plan is obviously more streamlined, and he does not care about the places that have not yet surrendered in the future, and hits the key point.

The second is the timing of Huang Fayan's dispatch to sweep Hezhou, several months earlier than the original trajectory!

These two people, one plays the main attack, the other assists, where Wu Mingche did not settle Huang Faqi leveled, Wu Mingche did not arrange the back hand Huang Fayan to help him arrange, the shortcomings were filled, and there was an abundant advantage in troops, which made Chen Jun show a momentum like a bamboo.

Wang Hong is now in a cold sweat, and he is also among the ministers who urged Wang Lin to go to war, and at the same time, when the war situation in Huainan is getting more and more sluggish, he directly advocates not sending troops to rescue, if this is investigated, there are good fruits for him to eat!

Minister Yuan Wenzong's eyes collided with Zu Ting's gaze, and then he said: "Your Majesty, Huainan erosion, not because the general is incompetent, but because of the lack of troops, Pi Jinghe has less than 20,000 soldiers, and he has to hold the key place in South Xuzhou, not lightly, without the help of the imperial court, it is indeed difficult to continue, but the army is marching westward, and most of the main forces have not had time to return...... To win this battle, the focus mainly falls on Wang Lin, if Wang Lin wins, Huainan can be guaranteed, and if Wang Lin loses, Huainan will lose. ”

"Don't you know what you're talking about?" Gao Wei frowned, "But where are the troops?" The army has not yet returned, and when hundreds of thousands of troops return to Ye and march south, Wang Lin's grave grass will probably be more than a foot high! ”

The reason why the front western expedition moved quickly was because Gao Wei's troops were deployed on the front line of Fenzhou and Luoyang, and the cloth was first, and he only took an order from the imperial court to immediately attack the hinterland of the Zhou State, while Huainan, on the other hand, only some Tuntian soldiers were left, and Gao Wei had just finished a big battle, so it was impossible to ask those troops who were still stranded in the pass to rescue Huainan at night, right?

Can they fly or what?

"Yes!" Yuan Wenzong said again, "Your Majesty has forgotten that when there was a great drought in Mount Tai before, Your Majesty made up a lot of soldiers, and the young and strong were incorporated into the forbidden army, and many of them remained in Northern Xuzhou, although they were only some Tuntian soldiers, but there were more than 10,000 troops; His Majesty destroyed Zhou, and the soldiers of Henan gathered in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and a team of soldiers and horses from Nanyang could be sent east to directly support Shouyang...... The imperial court sent another army from Yecheng and rushed to Pengcheng, please give an edict immediately, and it will change later! ”

The emperor was not excited when he heard this, but frowned and looked at the map, and hesitated: "Is it too late?" ”

Yuan Wenzong also took a deep breath, shook his hand, and responded in a deep voice: "Whether it is in time or not, Huainan is remote, and the imperial court can't take care of it, we can only believe Wang Lin now, the minister still says that, if the imperial court doesn't push Wang Lin, so as to avoid suspicion!" ”

The night was getting darker, the candle flame illuminated the hall yellow, His Majesty turned his back to everyone, stared at the map and stood in place, for a long time, suddenly said: "Grass edict——"
