"The court found a wise man from the rivers and lakes to find the magical weapons born in Yang Yueyang Ri to defend the city. Liu Junhou was sure that the situation was gone, so he secretly contacted me and contacted Gu Cong, Liang Wenjiang, Xu Pu and others to plan a breakthrough."

Although it has been a while since they broke out from Bianliang and moved south, and although Jie Zhong has survived many disasters, he still feels frightened when talking about the many details of their breaking out from Bianliang in the lobby of Xiangcheng Prefecture.

Speaking of which, the most important thing they could successfully break through was that as the generals of the main war faction, they not only actively rectify the military preparations and dare not relax at all, but during the period when Wang Bing presided over the defense of the Gyeonggi, they built a large number of shield cars, side vans, and iron chariots, and had the ability to go out of the city to fight in the field.

In addition to Liu Yan, Liang Wenjiang and others who are good at leading troops and fighting, they have experienced so many twists and turns in recent years. It is not a matter of time to judge the situation and capture the fighter jets. During the period when Wang Bing presided over the defense of the capital, they were able to break the rules and promote the brave and capable military officers.

In Zhu Han, Wang Fan and others left Beijing one after another, and the peace talks regained control of the court and the capital. In addition to certainly not having the opportunity to participate in the defense of the inner city and the imperial palace, Jie Zhong, Liu Yan and other troops did not have the opportunity to preside over the defense of the outer city gates, but were idle in the camp in the southwest corner of the outer city.

This provides geographical convenience for them to break through.

Another factor that cannot be ignored is that during the first northern expedition to Yan, Jie Zhong participated in breaking through from Datong throughout the whole process; and Liu Yan and his generals and officers of the Xiaosheng Army successfully retreated from Datong to Xishan during the second northern expedition to Yan.

They had long predicted that Bianliang was destined to be trapped and made sufficient preparations in advance. They also had rich experience in successfully breaking out and evacuating when the cavalry surrounded and chased and intercepted. On the night when the two main city gates of Bianliang were lost, they decisively crossed the city and led their troops to break out in the direction of Caizhou.

Of course, an extremely critical factor is that before the attack, the Chihu people did not expect that the defense of Bianliang City was already incredibly fragile.

The Chihu people invaded the south for the first time and attacked the outer city of Bianliang. Not to mention the encirclement of Bianliang and the capital area, their main force was even crossing the river. Just a small number of their vanguards approached the Nanxun Gate of Nancheng and launched a tentative attack, and even wanted to lure the defenders out of the city and eat hundreds of troops to win the first prize.

Who would have thought that the defenders on the Nanxun Gate Tower were all so-called "divine soldiers and generals". After being shot and injured dozens of people, they scattered and asked hundreds of barbarians to seize the opportunity to enter the city, and easily opened Nanxun Gate.

On the inside of Nanxun Gate is an imperial street that is more than 200 steps wide, which is conducive to the direct attack by the cavalry. The Chihu people quickly assembled two thousand elite vanguards and attacked from Nanxun Gate.

It was too late for the city to organize troops to retake Nanxun Gate; and all the troops who tried to counterattack were basically collapsed at once.

The Chihu people were a little confused at that time, but at all costs, they quickly gathered all the soldiers on the south bank and rushed to the depths of Bianliang like a tide.

The main force of the enfeoffed troops who followed the emergency crossing of the river quickly launched an attack from the Guzi Gate and Yichun Gate on the northwest and northeast of Bianliang, and they also quickly and easily defeated the defenders and attacked the city.

When Liu Yan, Jie Zhong and others led their troops to cross and break through the southwest city wall, the Chihu people did not completely react. They just wanted to occupy Bianliang as soon as possible, but did not expect to divide their troops to surround Liu Yan, Jie Zhong and other troops.

Subsequently, a large number of imperial guards followed suit and tried to break through and flee, but the Chihu people had already controlled the outer city of Bianliang at this time and were able to free up their hands to surround and kill the fugitives.

The subsequent breakout of the imperial guards naturally suffered heavy casualties, but to a certain extent, they blocked the sword for Liu Yan, Jie Zhong and the others.

Liu Yan, Jie Zhong, Gu Cong, Liang Wenjiang, Xu Pu and other troops retreated south, mainly because they hid in the morning and went out at night. A large number of soldiers inevitably ran away. However, they gathered the deserters all the way and finally led more than 7,000 troops and successfully retreated into Caizhou to meet with Hu Kai and Yang Lin.

King Jing Zhao Tuan, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Qian Shangduan, Zhu Han and others arrived in Xiangcheng two days later than Xu Huai and others. When they heard Liu Yan and others telling the details of the fall of Bianliang City and the breakout, they were also very sad.

"When you broke out from Bianliang, did you know my mother, brother?" Princess Yingyun sat beside King Jing. After hearing Liu Yan's breakout, she couldn't help but interrupt and asked.

The hall suddenly became silent.

Liu Yan, Jie Zhong, and Gu Cong knelt in panic to the seat of King Jing Zhao Tuan, and kowtowed, "The last general is incompetent, he fled in a hurry, and did not take into account the concubine and prince, please punish him."

Xu Huai, Zhu Han and others sat in the hall, silent.

Except for Zhu Tong, Zhu Zhi was already working outside, so Zhu Han certainly had no way to bring his wife, Rongle County Lord, eldest daughter Zhu Duojin, and many people from the Zhu Mansion from Bianliang City in advance.

However, Zhu Han had already considered the worst case. When he left Bianliang, he asked his wife, Lord Rongle County and the sons and nephews of the Zhu family to move into the house in the southwest corner of the outer city.

Zhu Han considered that the fall of Bianliang, the people of Zhu's family could ask for help from Liu Yan nearby, and Jie Zhong and others could help.

As a core member of the war sect, Zhu Han had a close relationship with Liu Yan, Jie Zhong, Gu Cong, Liang Wenjiang, Xu Pu and others.

Liu Yan and the others decided to break through at night, and of course they would not forget the Zhu Mansion. They even secretly took Zhu's eldest daughter Zhu Duojin from the inner city. The Lord of Rongle County and the eldest daughter Zhu Duojin had sent someone to escort to Shangcai and reunite with his son Zhu Tong first.

Under the circumstances at that time, Liu Yan and others were unable to pick up everyone from Prince Jing’s Mansion.

To be honest, Xu Huai never expected that the majestic Bianliang City would fall in such a ridiculous and ridiculous way. It was so sudden and urgent. He thought that even if he had left some backup plans in Bianliang City before, he should have no time to react, right?!

"What is the crime?" King Jing Zhao Tuanqiang suppressed his inner loss and sorrow, helped Liu Yan, Jie Zhong, Gu Cong and others up, and said, "This is the disaster of the Concubine and Abao, and it is also the disaster of my Zhao royal family. If you can bring seven thousand Jianrui out of the desperate situation, you have made great contributions to the country and my Zhao royal family! Don't blame yourself for this matter!" He also scolded Princess Yingyun, "You have nothing to say about this. This is a disaster that the Zhao clan cannot escape. Do you still blame me for the great Zhao general?"

Princess Yingyun was already sad, and she asked King Jing to rinse her tears and she rinse her tears.

Everyone comforted King Jing and said, "The princess is also worried about the safety of the prince. Although the Chihu people are cruel, they will not harm the prince for no reason. The prince and the clan members of the royal family will be able to save the prince for a long time when his highness reshapes the universe, and the prince!"

King Jing signaled Qiao Jien to help his daughter with tears on her face, so that she would not get in the way of discussing the matter.

After a while, King Jing took the initiative to open up and asked Hu Kai about his suggestions on the current situation and subsequent defense deployment.

Hu Kai will follow King Jing to Xiangyang to serve as the Sima of the Grand Marshal of the World Army and Horse Office. He will assume the important task of assisting King Jing in presiding over the world's military and political affairs. He will subsequently resist the Red Guards. He should also lead the army to consult and make a plan and offer it to King Jing to Dingdu.

Xu Huai arrived in Xiangcheng two days in advance and had fully discussed with Hu Kai about the current situation and subsequent resistance strategies.

This is not a time to be humble, so Hu Kai explained what he thought in his heart one by one.

In principle, there is no major problem in Shaanxi and Heluo at this time. However, considering the stimulus of the Taiyuan battle, it is likely that the Chihu people will give priority to solving the threat on the flanks after they gained a foothold in Hehuai. Large-scale battles will soon break out in Heluo, Shaanxi and Heluo.

Even if most areas of Heluo can be defended in Shaanxi, they still need to go to the four routes of Sichuan and Shu to evacuate the people in advance to prevent large-scale people from fleeing to the city in a hurry when the war is approaching, consuming the limited food stored in the city.

This is a lesson that must be learned from the defense battles in Taiyuan, Zezhou and other cities.

The successful experience of defending cities such as Taiyuan, Zezhou also told them that as long as they are well prepared, the Red Hu soldiers and horses that scattered the world will not be so easy to capture the dangerous city.

The shallow attack strategy summarized by the Western Army in the long-term battle with the Dangxiang people was not outdated.

To the east of Nanyang, Tongbai Mountain and Guangzhou were the gates. King Jing delivered them to Xu Huai Shouyu. Hu Kai skipped it and refused to mention it, but advocated that the defense focus of Caizhou in the north of Nanyang should be retracted back to Wuyang in the north of Fangchengkou.

Puban initially discussed major strategies and decided to rebuild the Xiaosheng Army in Caizhou, with Yang Lin as the commander-in-chief, while Hu Kaize advocated the use of Liu Yan and Yang Lin as the co-ordination of the Xiaosheng Army.

King Jing Zhao Tuan went to Xiangyang to set up a government office. In addition to raising money and grain, the more important thing was to expand the troops and horses. In the future, King Jing Zhao Tuan wanted to ascend the throne in Xiangyang, and only the three ban brigades under his jurisdiction were far from enough.

In Hu Kai's opinion, at least the expansion structure of the left and right Xuanwu Army and the left and right Xiaosheng Army should be directly reserved, and the generals should be authorized to garrison while recruiting Jianrui and training.

Hu Kai suggested that Liu Yan, Jie Zhong, Gu Cong, Liang Wenjiang, Xu Pu and other troops be organized into Zuo Xiaosheng Army, with Liu Yan as the main general, stationed in Wuyang and Zhuchengzhaizhai on the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain, as the first line of defense outside the entrance of Fangcheng.

The Caizhou Army was organized into the Right Xiaosheng Army, with Yang Lin as the main general, and stationed at the time of Caizhou Prefecture in Shangcai.

Shangcai is located in the east of Qingyiling and Queshan County, with a relatively breakthrough location, but it requires a group of troops to stop the enemy from approaching Wuyang and Guangzhou unscrupulously.

Although the Chushan camp led by Xu Huai was the most elite, he could fight, but he planned to capture the Tianxiong Army and had a total force of only 7,000, which was still a big gap from the full corps of Tianxiong Army.

At this time, Guangzhou Metropolitan City was to be included in the defense zone of Chushan Camp, which was equivalent to extending the defense line to two hundred miles east of Shichengling. Jiuli south of Xinyang, Wusheng and Pingjing Passages are also a must-be defended place.

It is impossible for Xu Huai to be able to defend such a large defensive surface with just seven thousand soldiers.

The next step for the Chushan camp and Tianxiong Army to recruit soldiers and buy horses is necessary to do it immediately. At least in addition to local wing troops and rural soldiers, even if the Tianxiong Army is not satisfied with the organization, it will have to be expanded to at least 15,000 people to basically ensure the defense needs of such a large defense area.

Recruiting troops requires a process, and at this time, there is a military force stationed in Shangcai and other places to buy time for Xu Huai's defense line construction in Guangzhou.

The most critical point is that Hu Kai suggested that King Jing send envoys to Qizhou to meet King Lu, and he also led Henan and Huainan to establish envoys.

Hu Kai's suggestion actually all Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road except Guangzhou were assigned to the King of Lu in order to join forces to resist the Huhu.

Regardless of whether King Jing and King Lu were in opposition to each other in the past, the current reality is that they are not able to deploy defense lines east of Guangzhou along the Huaihe River north and south, but King Lu is in Qingzhou and Qizhou has 100,000 heavy troops.

Hu Kai suggested that King Zhao Guan of Lu lead his troops south to Shouzhou or Xuzhou to take charge, so that the enemy soldiers would not have the chance to insert into Xuzhou and cut off the connection between King Zhao Guan of Lu and Jianghuai.

Once the troops of King Zhao Guan of Lu became an isolated army and were eventually wiped out by the Chihu people, perhaps no one was qualified to compete with King Jing for the throne, but where did they draw troops from at this time and go to the two sides of the Huai River east of Guangzhou to deploy defense?
