In addition to considering the failure of the battle in Huainan, in addition to considering that the enemies gathered in Xuchang may launch a large-scale invasion in the south at any time, the enemy in Heluo unexpectedly advanced eastward this winter, which also needs attention.

Could it be that the Cao family suffered too much, was too tragic, and had too deep blood, which made Cao Shixiong go his own way and insisted on attacking Ruzhou first and opening a channel to attack Chushan east?

If things really are, it would be simple.

Xu Huai's eyes narrowed slightly and stared at the continuous enemy camp west of Guangchengyi. Cao Shixiong obviously not only hoped to attract Zuo Xiaosheng's main force to Guangchengyi to bring confrontation, but also hoped that Chushan would send elite troops to reinforce Guangxi.

Chengyi.

If Xu Huai had more than 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, he might not care what kind of trump cards he had hidden in the Heluo enemy's hands, and he would not be afraid to take action to deal with Cao Shixiong's grandson again.

No matter what conspiracy or intrigue, you still have to speak with your strength in the end.

Now Chu Shan’s elite troops on the western front are too short of strength. Yue Hailou and Mu Chi are not allowed to be controlled by others. Can they still use suspicious tactics to deceive them again and again?

Xu Huai pondered over and over again and suggested to Yang Lin: "Not only is Guangcheng Post difficult to defend, Yang Hou may consider giving up Ruyang and Songxian. Cao Shixiong is a bit fierce this time, and I can't see through him..."

Although the troops withdraw from Guangcheng Post and as the enemy troops advance eastward from Heluo, the liaison between the Liang County and Ruyang County of Ruzhou Prefecture will be cut off by the enemy with absolute advantage, but generally speaking, Ruyang

Both cities in Songxian are surrounded by mountains on the northern foot of Funiu Mountain. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy's casualties may not be able to be chewed down by several times.

Generally speaking, there is no need to worry too much about the defense of Ruyang and Song County.

However, this time Cao Shixiong came too fiercely, and Xu Huai was a little embarrassed, so he suggested that Cao Shixiong would rather give up Ruyang and Songxian first and concentrate all his troops in Liangxian to resist the enemy.

After the spring, the Ruying Army and Li waters rose sharply, and the Yi River would also have flooded. At that time, the enemy in the west of Beijing would be blocked from Ying, and the enemy in Heluo would go south to contact Ruyang. It would be inconvenient for Song County, so Chushan would free up his hands to go with him.

It would not be difficult for Zuo Xiaosheng's army to recover Ruyang and Songxian cities together.

"snort……"

Xu Huai's suggestion was to make Yang Lin feel dissatisfied and snorted softly.

Xu Huai looked at him without squinting, as if he didn't hear this cold snorkeling. Zhou Jing stood beside Xu Huai and glanced at the general with his eyes.

Xu Huai's suggestion may be kind, but in the eyes of some generals in Ruzhou, abandoning Ruyang and Songxian and concentrating their troops in Liangxian was equivalent to abandoning most of Ruzhou, and simply guarding the west gate for Mount Chu.

It's right.

In the past year, Zhou Jing did not sit in Wuyang or Zhaoling, waiting for the people below to collect information. Instead, he personally sneaked to Song-Ji (Songshan) mountains, Hehuai and other places to contact the rebels and all kinds of people.

Resistance forces.

These rebels and resist

Many forces reached out to Chushan for money, food, soldiers and armor, but Chushan suggested that they integrate or move to the mountainous areas to facilitate guerrilla warfare, but most of them were perfunctory and delayed.

Zhou Jing also understood the thoughts of these people clearly. He secretly felt that many generals under Yang Lin had fought side by side in the past and might have had a harmonious relationship with Chu Shan, but it involved some sensitive matters. Their thoughts might have been with the rebel generals he had contacted before.

What a big difference.

Even deeper, Zuo Xiaosheng's predecessor was the Caizhou Army. Most of the generals and soldiers were recruited from Caizhou. They might think that Chushan was stationed in Wuyang, Yexian, Zhaoling, Xiangcheng and other places.

If there is a suspicion of occupying the magpie's nest, the imperial court should have placed these cities that originally belonged to Caizhou under the defense of Zuo Xiaosheng's army?

Thinking of this, Zhou Jing could only look at Yang Lin silently to see how he made a choice.

Yang Lin is less than fifty years old, but his manes are white and have a thin face and wrinkled. He is full of perseverance. He stared at the general who is silly and has no scheming and dissatisfied with his dissatisfaction at a glance, and said to Xu Huai in a hoarse voice.

: "The Cao thief came in a fierce manner, and most of them still rely on it. However, if you abandon Ruyang and Songxian, Zuo Xiaosheng's army was difficult to treat Your Majesty, Hu said... "

Seeing Yang Lin say this, Xu Huai no longer advised him.

As the commander of the road, Yang Lin has his own opinions. Chu Shan has no control over Ruzhou. At this time, he has no power to take care of Ruzhou's defense. It is indeed not advisable to point too much fingers and say, "If Yang Hou decides,

It is better to withdraw troops sooner than later. I can guard Yang Hou for one more day. But I want to see if Cao Shixiong dares to send a few more heads!"

"Thank you for your help from Xu Hou Yi!" Yang Lin bowed to Xu Huai and thanked him.

Zuo Xiaosheng's casualties in Guangchengyi were too tragic. The enemy's troops were strong and there were no elite soldiers and strong generals in the palace. It was not easy to retreat calmly.

The five hundred elite troops of the selection army led by Xu Huai could not be infinitely amplified, but the physical strength and will of the generals were at their peak this time. It is still easy to stop the enemy from advancing eastward within one or two days.

Yang Lin said to his son Yang Qiye: "You immediately prepare for injuries and evacuate directly to Liang County. From now on, Liang County will focus on you..."

After hearing his father Yang Lin led his troops to retreat to Liang County as the main general, Yang Qiye shouted:

"I'm willing to go to Ruyang!"

"The enemy in Heluo is coming in a fierce manner. We give up Guangchengyi and go east to Liang County to the bottom of the city of Kuan Valley. We can make the enemy move straight into Ruyang. We also need to defend Ziluokou and threaten the enemy's wings with our troops.

, It makes it difficult for him to calmly use troops against Liang County. You can only take over the burden if you train!” Yang Lin said.

Seeing that Yang Lin was determined to lead the elite troops to station in Ruyang, Xu Huai had nothing to say, so he immediately discussed the battle details of the rear guard...

…………

…………

The dusk is getting darker, and the clouds seem to be ignited by a fire. Large pieces of magnificent clouds are painted. Cao Shixiong, Meng Ping and others will stand on a hill and collect Zuo Xiaosheng's camps south of Lingtai Mountain and Guangcheng Post.

fundus.

A large number of civilians and states

The soldiers in uniform began to gather in the rear camp to rectify the chariots and horses, which was obviously preparing to retreat overnight.

"...Yang Lin is going to escape. We will quickly order the troops and fight the camp at night, and we will definitely defeat the Southern Army!" Cao Cheng grabbed the hilt tightly and shouted excitedly.

"Stop it!" Cao Xiongshi opened his nephew Cao Cheng and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone said that Xu Huai was brave and brave, and he was good at using strange strategies. He thought he would concentrate his elite troops and chew on us hard with Yang Lin first? Unexpectedly, he rushed to Guangchengyi in person, and he could still sink.

You have to hold on!" Meng Ping said, scratching his bearded face, "I really underestimated him in Yunzhou back then! If I were more decisive at the beginning, I would not have left such great troubles!"

Meng Ping has always been a general with Cao Shixiong as his right-hand man. When he was in Shuozhou, his status was no less than Cao Shili, but sometimes it was just a coincidence. Several times, Cao Shili confronted the Chushan Army, and in the end, Cao Shili himself

They were all defeated by the Chushan Army, but Meng Ping never had the chance to fight with the Chushan Army.

The veins on the back of Cao Shixiong's hand holding the hilt were beating slightly, as if trying to suppress the hatred in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "This servant is so young, and he is already above his father's army. He is the most famous general of the Southern Dynasty.

How can the characters be so easy to meet? However, the Southern Dynasties are difficult to achieve, and there are many constraints. No matter how strong this fellow is, how long can a single tree last?"

"Uncle, the Southern Army suffered heavy casualties, and its reinforcements were less than a thousand, which was definitely not our opponents. It was a good opportunity to defeat them!" Cao Cheng shouted unwillingly. He still wanted to lead the elite troops to break through the camp at night.

"If Yang Lin wants to withdraw, let them withdraw. We will fight step by step according to the established strategy," Cao Shixiong pressed Cao Cheng's shoulder and said, "Don't think I don't want to avenge my blood, but the more this moment,

The more you should keep your temper! Don’t think that this guy has made so many military achievements, it’s all a lucky chance? Many times you can’t rush to seek merit, you still lack training!”

Meng Ping looked at Cao Cheng, who was still dissatisfied, and asked Cao Shixiong: "As soon as he arrived at Guangcheng Post, he dared to lead the rushing cavalry forward to drive and kill. Do you think he would break the rear for Yang Lin?

”

"It's useless to guess more. If this servant is broken, you can encircle him with heavy troops and don't fight him to death!" Cao Shixiong said, "The second prince has also ordered the General Administration of the Four Prefectures in the West of Beijing to encircle the Chushan Army this winter in the winter

Instead of attacking, I just want to hold it tightly and make sure that it cannot escape. I also want to see that the war situation in various parts of the Southern Dynasty is in ruins, and only the Chushan Army is intact and is safe, so what will the generals of the Southern Dynasty think in their hearts! An old saying goes

It is well said that the wood is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. We must also make good use of the internal power of the Southern Dynasty and not just do it…”

"When we set up a camp outside Ziluo's mouth, calmly took down Ruyang and Songxian, and the third prince successfully attacked Huainan, causing the three sides of Mount Chu to be attacked. At that time, I would like to see if this guy really has three heads and six arms to deal with it.
