Yuzhou border city.

"General, they seem to have withdrawn?"

The general in armor looked into the distance and saw that Liu Jianxing's men and horses were already retreating step by step.

He took off the binoculars on his waist, looked at them for a while, put them down, and said to the soldiers guarding the city next to him, "Watch carefully, see if they are trying to lower our vigilance and suddenly kill us."

"Yes!"

Back at the camp, the general wrote a letter and asked someone to come and deliver it to the other party.

It was two days after the letter fell into Chang Yuan's hands.

Several great families often use pigeons to exchange letters, and there are also skilled pigeon breeders in the Changyuan army, otherwise they would not have discovered each other's carrier pigeons, and they would not have been able to intercept those conspiring communications.

Dozens of pigeons are released at the same time each time, and one of them always reaches their destination safely.

After the letter reached Chang Yuan's hand, he immediately summoned Ning Changrong after reading it.

The two counseled in his study.

"In this way, General Wang's side should have achieved initial results, and Liu Jianxing had to withdraw." Ning Changrong congratulated.

Chang Yuan was in a good mood, and his face was smiling, "In this way, a crisis has been solved." The three thousand cavalry were only formed to defend against the Northern Firmament at that time, and they did not expect to play such a big role.

"We'll have to be careful." Ning Changrong reminded, "Liu Jianxing will definitely spread the news of our manpower arrangement, and when the time comes, the enemy will definitely increase the defense of the rear, and he will not retreat as easily as Liu Jianxing."

"It's okay, the cavalry is talking about mobility, and in terms of speed, they can't keep up with the Han Court if they want to defend themselves." Chang Yuan was full of confidence.

No longer lived up to the anxious appearance of hearing that the small cities had been breached one after another a few days ago, although they had already formulated a plan in advance, but seeing the cities that they had worked so hard to fight fall into the hands of the enemy, Chang Yuan's heart was still unbearable.

If he wants to go to the front line to resist, but he is afraid that his departure will affect people's hearts, and he can only talk to Ning Changrong and Fu Linjun about his thoughts, and even in the face of Fu Linjun, he does not dare to show too worried thoughts, so as not to affect Fu Linjun.

It was only in the face of Ning Changrong that he dared to reveal some of his thoughts.

Ning Changrong smiled, "General, although the danger of Yuzhou City has been resolved, the world is impermanent, we must always be vigilant, and we must not relax."

……

Pizhou.

This is the place where the three princes ascended the throne, and it is also a town near the capital of the current Southern Chen Kingdom.

Before the outbreak of the plague, Ma Honglin had been sent to the south to attack Pizhou, and had to stay here temporarily after the outbreak of the plague.

But Pizhou has fallen into their hands, and now they have received news from Chang Yuan.

After reading the letter, Ma Honglin immediately ordered troops.

Ahead, Jingzhou, and South Chen are all advancing.

"I don't know what the third prince of Nanchen thinks, we are already entrenched around the capitals of other countries, and we dare to tease our beards, and the credit sent to the door, this general can't pick it up." Ma Honglin was in a good mood.

"What do you mean, General?" The general beside him asked.

"Humph! Wang Hanting was sent out to get credit, and now it's the brothers' turn to eat meat! Brothers, give Lao Tzu a quick march and rush to Jingzhou as fast as possible!" Ma Honglin didn't explain much, just ordered.

Wang Hanting has made great and small achievements since he led the cavalry, and Ma Honglin has long been envious.

"Yes!"

The army marched rapidly all the way, advancing towards Jingzhou, and the grain and grass in the rear were heavy, and they kept being transported out of Pizhou.

Originally, the consideration was to release Wang Hanting's cavalry, let them light fire everywhere, disrupt the coalition army, and make them dare not attack the city with all their might, but no matter how fast Wang Hanting's cavalry was, the speed was limited after all, and Ma Honglin, who was leading the troops, also became a strange move.

Jingzhou City.

The soldiers defending the city heard the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, and looked up again, and a large number of men and horses were waving in front of them.

"Close the gates, close the gates! There are enemies!"

"Close the gates!"

Seeing more and more enemy troops in front of them, they all shouted in panic

Shing mun.

"What's going on?" General Nan Chen Shoucheng was Chen Wenlong, who had fought with Chang Yuan at the beginning, and if Ning Changrong hadn't moved the troops in time, Chang Yuan might have died directly in his hands.

Chen Wenlong had to evacuate, returned to Nanchen and was degraded, and after the third prince ascended the throne, because no one was available, he was entrusted with the important task of reinstating the official.

"General Chen, in front of you is the person who rebels against the thief Chang Yuan." A middle-aged general replied.

Chen Wenlong frowned, in just three years, Chang Yuan's power was different from the past.

Sometimes he would regret it in the middle of the night, if he persisted a little longer, would he be able to stop Chang Yuan in Taixi?

"The gates of the major cities are closed, and no entry or exit is allowed without the order of the commander! Send people to reinforce the East City Gate, and soldiers must be arranged to patrol at night......" Chen Wenlong commanded in a deep voice.

"By the way, did Your Majesty notify me?" He asked.

"Someone has been sent to inform Your Majesty."

If this happens, you can't hide it, and you will notify the palace as soon as possible.

"Hey, the old man said at the beginning that he should not divide his troops to attack Shaanzhou, and none of the princes in the court believed the old man." Chen Wenlong looked at the enemy troops rushing in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although the little emperor relied on him, he didn't actually listen to him, and many things were bent on going his own way, just like this time the court was inclined to cooperate with Liu Jianxing and these thieves and swallow Chang Yuan, he strongly opposed it, but no one listened.

First, the orthodoxy of the imperial court cooperates with the anti-thief, or the anti-thief who has ascended the throne and becomes the emperor, what is the matter?

Second, he always felt that the situation on Chang Yuan's side was not as bad as they inquired, although the plague was terrible, as long as Chang Yuan was ruthless, he could control it within a certain range.

Now they feel that this is the best time to take down the other party, but who knows if the other party deliberately showed them and led them into the trap?

He also sent an army of 100,000 at once, and in the past few years, he has been fighting with several princes, and collecting conscription taxes everywhere, the people have long been overwhelmed, impoverished, and the court is also so poor that even the soldiers' salaries are squeezed out with gritted teeth.

This time, 100,000 horses were dispatched, and the entire Jingzhou was exposed to the opposite side at once, if the other party chose to break the cauldron and sink the boat, see through their reality and go straight to Jingzhou, then Jingzhou will be in danger.

Now that the enemy was in front of them, the situation had become the one he feared the most.

……

"What's going on? Why did you find out when people have already arrived in Jingzhou City! What about Pizhou?! Is Pizhou Taishou dead!?"

"Li Aiqing! Master Lee!" The third prince gritted his teeth and looked at an elderly white-bearded old man below.

Pizhou Taishou is the other party's protégé, and the other party can sit in the position of Pizhou Taishou thanks to his recommendation, so the other party has also become the first person to be held accountable for the three princes.

The old man surnamed Li steadied his trembling hands, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the old minister has never received any news from Pizhou, and he has no knowledge of Pizhou's affairs."

He knew that some people deceived their superiors and subordinates, and even raised their own respect, but he didn't expect that there were people who dared to hide this kind of thing at Jingzhou Pass-Pizhou!

Now that the enemy army can go straight to Jingzhou, you don't have to think about it to know that Pizhou has fallen into the hands of the other party.
