Xu He lived in the regimental camp for a whole month, and he happened to go back with Xu Dai today.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are a lot of things at home waiting for him to deal with.

Who knew that not far from Hailing County, there was a flying horse galloping out of the city.

Immediately, when the knight saw Zhang Jingxian, he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and knelt in front of Zhang Jingxian on one knee.

"Master Zhang, something happened!"

After speaking, he carefully took out a box from his bosom, opened it and took out a letter.

Xu He watched it from the side, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart, there were three chicken feathers stuck to the letter.

Three chicken feathers represent 100,000 urgency.

It shows that there must be something very important in this letter.

Zhang Jingxian's face froze, he reached out to take the letter, and opened it after checking that the fire paint was in good condition.

After a moment, he said with a stern expression: "Go back to the city!" ”

He just wanted to shake the reins of the horse, but turned to Chen Hua, Xu Dai and Xu He and said, "Come together!" ”

Xu Dai was stunned, he had never seen Zhang Jingxian speak to him in such a tone, and he just wanted to ask what was going on, but who knew that Zhang Jingxian had already entered the city first.

"What the hell is going on here? Don't say a word......" Xu Dai complained.

Xu He tugged at his robe and whispered, "Second uncle, there must be a military matter!" ”

When Xu Dai heard this, his face suddenly became bitter: "Where is the trouble again?" Why can't you have a little peace of mind? ”

Chen Hua didn't speak, turned his head to Xu He and said, "Go in!" ”

……

When a few people came to the Yamen of the Division, Zhang Jingxian had already handed over to Wang Lie to call all the generals of more than 100 households in the 1,000 households.

He saw that Xu He and the others had arrived, so he said in a deep voice: "Jianyangwei was attacked last night, and the thieves of the White Lotus Sect have broken through the quarrying this morning, and when the letter in my hand was sent, this group of thieves had already broken through Niushou Mountain and arrived at Jubao Mountain. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the lobby.

Niushou Mountain is in the northeast of Jiangning Town outside Jinling City, and then go north, cross Jubao Mountain and Qinhuai River is Jinling Yingtianfu.

"Where did these guys come from?" Chen Hua frowned.

"Someone once saw these people in Jingting Mountain in Ningguo Mansion, but the local government thought that the Chizhou Mansion was a refugee fleeing the famine, so they didn't care about them!"

Chen Hua was furious: "The mediocre officials should be killed, are they homeless people, won't they inquire?" Just let these people go to the foot of Ying Tianfu? ”

Zhang Jingxian said with a calm face: "It's useless to talk about this now. The White Lotus Sect came prepared this time, and the letter said that there were more than 6,000 people, all of whom were active in Jiangxi, Chizhou, and Anqing. ”

"Counting the past few days, the things in Wujin, Dantu, and Jingkou, the purpose of the thieves has been revealed."

"They divided their troops into two routes, attacking Yingtianfu, trying to take Yingtian while they were unprepared, and then they could go north and retreat to run Jiangnan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dai arched his hand and said: "Zhang Bingxian, the water of the world is greater than the river in the north, and the river is greater than the river in the south. ”

Zhang Jingxian was stunned when he heard this, this person spoke a little level today, and he was not Xu Dai in his impression at all.

He said softly: "Zhongwang Gong, then in your opinion, these thieves are trying to occupy Jinling?" ”

"This ......"

Xu Dai just heard that his eldest brother Xu Song had commented on the importance of Jinling, so he showed his face when he saw the opportunity, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jingxian would ask him to speak in depth with an idler.

The scene was embarrassing for a while.

At this time, Xu He, who was beside him, said: "Lord Bingxian, the thieves of Wujin, Dantu, and Jingkou have been pounced. ”

"The thief is rubbing."

"Maybe their target was Jinling before, but at this time, with the imperial court on guard, it is impossible to take the capital of Nanzhi, Nanjing of the Great Wei, with only a few thousand people!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present nodded slowly.

"I think Xu Gongzi is polite, there are hundreds of thousands of troops around Yingtianfu, and the thieves were found in Niushou Mountain, and there is enough time in the city to organize a defense on the front line of Qinhuai!" Wang Lie nodded.

The military attaches under him had only heard of Xu He's name, but they had very little contact.

Listening to this person's speech now, I can't help but sigh in my heart when I can even talk about military affairs and get to the point.

There is really no vain in this world, and this son is amazing.

Zhang Jingxian also nodded and said, "Liangsheng, you mean, this gang of people attacking Jinling is a cover, so what is their real purpose?" ”

Xu He did not rush to answer his question, but pondered for a moment before saying:

[The key four points in the south of the Yangtze River, called Jinshanwei, are close to Haitang, and Wusongkou is also connected to the north; It is said that Wusongkou is the key point of the two counties of Susong; It is said that Liujiahe, the path of the invasion from Taicang; It is said that Baimao Port is also the key port of Changshu's invasion. 】

[The key point of Jiangbei is three, called Xingang, that is, the mouth of the three rivers to approach Yangzhou; It is said that the North Sea, so from the new port of Yitong, there are salt disciples gathered here; It is said that Miaowan is a giant town, and it can be connected to the mouth of the sea. 】

Hearing this, everyone present frowned.

Zhang Jingxian said: "Liangsheng, the thief is from the west, what do you say the east is doing?" What you said is a key point in coastal defense. ”

Xu He nodded: "My lord, I'm thinking about you." ”

"The thieves are far away in Jinling, across the river from our Yangzhou, their affairs, Caojiang Yushi Yamen bear the brunt, you just need to send Yi Zhenwei and the garrison of Guazhou to stare at the river! If the thieves can break through the river, these two places can also be delayed for a moment or two, and then you can calmly dispatch them! ”

"But!" Wang Lie said, "If these two places are defeated by thieves, Yangzhou Mansion will face the thief enemy!" ”

Xu He said: "What Wang Qianhu said is true, but according to my estimate, most of the thieves are feints!" ”

"Since it's a feint, what is his purpose?"

This question immediately silenced everyone present.

Xu He said with a smile: "It is impossible to go east, the power of the White Lotus Sect has just been uprooted, Zhenjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Songjiang Mansion are all heavily guarded by the imperial court, and they are looking for death!" ”

"It's impossible to go north, Caojiang Yushi Yamen, Chuzhou, Yangzhou, and Huai'an are all important places for Cao Yun, and 6,000 people can't make waves at all."

"To the south?" A hundred households asked.

Xu He smiled: "Then they came from the south and returned to the south, what did they do?" ”

The hundred households sat down again with a red face, yes, if the thief went south, it would be a fart to take off his pants, and it would be too much!

Xu He said confidently: "I think there is a possibility, the thieves may no longer be under Yingtianfu, and those who crossed Jubao Mountain are just chess pieces to divert their attention, and the real thieves will either go west down the river or cross the line of Hezhou Hanshan!" ”

Zhang Jingxian was shocked when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to bring the map, and moved north little by little in the direction Xu He said.

Including Shanxi is Qingxi, and then west Bai'an River, and then west...... Luzhou governs Hefei.

"Hiss......"
