"Ship Hu, the prince summoned me to Yiling. Are you planning to attack Hanzhong?" Deng Ang said excitedly.

Yu Geng just returned to Baoqing Mingjiansi and arrived with the prince's order. Looking at Deng Ang who was excited, Yu Geng smiled and said, "You kid don't need to be so excited. You just borrowed it for a while. You still have to be fooled by attacking Hanzhong.

Huan is the main one, and the prince asked you to go to Shangyong to get along with him. It seems that the candidate for the pioneer has also been decided. Zhou Ce is lucky!"

"Hehe! I can't care so much. I'm so bored in Baoqing every day. You are in Lingling, and Zheng Xi is busy in Chen County."

"Okay, go if you should, go, but I don't have any soldiers to transfer you. You'd better send a quick message to the prince to see if I want to transfer Wuling's troops. I guess it's not needed, but

You have to ask."

After saying goodbye to Deng Ang, Yu Geng fell into deep thought and could not waste it. The princess was about to arrive in Changsha. The prince was about to have a big deal and the matter in Xingtan had to be resolved, so he locked himself in the room alone.

On the second day, the commander of the Tiger General's Mansion will besiege Hengyang from now on to resolve the Lincheng incident and completely resolve the Xingtan matter.

The General's Office did not inform the Grand Commander's Office of this matter, and it was a matter of his own decision. However, this time, neither the General's Office nor the Santai nor the Civil Affairs Institute had questioned the General's Office of the Tiger Commander's Office, and even the Grand Commander's Office and Xitai added additional orders.

In the hearts of everyone, especially the old people in Xifu, Xingtan was the place where they started. It is understandable to take it back. If they can't get it back, it means Yu Geng is incompetent. At the same time, the rotation of the Civil Affairs Institute has begun to issue a matter to the Xifu government to urge Meng Yan to establish the country and ascend the throne.

The promoter of the entire incident seems to be the "flame" led by Quartz and Zhuo Boqing, but in fact the behind-the-scenes promoter is the civil service system led by the cabinet. As for the Grand Governor's Office, it is not that they do not support it, they hope to speed up the three sides.

The pace of war builds momentum for ascending the throne.

"Auntie, the situation is going wrong!" Lu Wanyu said worriedly.

Gu Qingfeng was caught off guard at this moment, too quickly. The news of Meng Yan's agreement to establish the country and ascend the throne, but revealed a little intention, which affected the entire Xifu in a short time. As soon as he arrived in Changsha, Huo Youji was also in high spirits, but he settled Gu Qingfeng a little.

, immediately went to Mufu Mountain to strengthen its defense.

After returning to report to Gu Qingfeng, he rushed to Yongning under Qizhou. He hesitated for so long and finally decided to start from Yongning and informed Xuan Song that he hoped to get his support. Xuan Song did not hesitate and led the Qizhou soldiers.

Ma distributed it to Huo Youji, and even arrived in Ezhou in secret as his backing.

This made Huo Youji flatter. What an honor was this for the princess and the two generals' offices as supporters. This also made him brave. The swaggering Chen Jian Jian Cai Shan was approaching Chaisang. Chaisang was the gateway to Jiujiang, and Jiujiang was also

It is the southern gate of the Chu Dynasty and the important military city in the river.

It has never been a simple task to defend Jiujiang, so Zhong Roulan handed this task to Zhong Qian's command whom he trusted and felt most at ease. There have been no mistakes over the years. The friction with Daning and Xifu can be resolved smoothly. He has never been able to do so.

I thought that someone would launch a large attack. In his perception, Daning's goal has always been the north, while the goal of the Western Prefecture has always been Luo Chen.

Now Huo Youji's fantastic preparation for the attack made him a little mistakenly, but he was not afraid. Huo Youji is just a minor generation, with many famous generals in the Western Palace. If Yu Geng comes, he will be nervous. He occupies the natural barrier of Chaisang, and at most he will retreat.

That's it.

"Jing'an Gong, the enemy's vanguard has set up camp at the Xixin Bridge on the south bank. Should we fight them back?" Military advisor Yan Yu gave Zhong Qian a flattering idea.

Everyone in the Great Chu knows that the Empress Zhong is the real leader. There are rumors that as long as you go south to Chenjing, the Empress will imitate the Empress Zhaoyang ascend the throne as emperor. Zhongqian is a member of the Zhong clan and a general in the army.

He must be a powerful vassal king. Although he does not have the ability to follow the dragon, he still has the enlightenment from the tiger.

"If the guard of Chaisang doesn't even have a way to deal with the thief vanguard, he can come and see him. Mr. Yan, we cannot send troops easily. The eloquence of garrison Chaisang is the most important thing." Zhong Qian could see that Yan Yu was Yan Yu

He also understands his intentions. He has the possibility of making meritorious service when taking the initiative, but Zhong Qian has no intention of provoking Xifu at all. If he annoys them, wouldn’t it be boring to transfer a general-level figure to him?

"Jing'an Gong is wise. The thieves have crossed the river but set up camp at Xixin Bridge. It is probably just harassment. Most of his troops are still in Yongning."

"Mr. Yan, the defenders in Chaisangkou must be strengthened, but the defenders in Hukou Daying cannot relax. I am rumored that my general order will ask Jiujiang to send another 5,000 people to strengthen Hukou Daying. How can you tell that the Xifu will not join forces with Daning?

!”

Yan Yu retreated with admiration, and his face immediately became gloomy as soon as he walked out. There was a servant who looked like a servant around him at some point. Yan Yu whispered: "Tell me in Yuzhang City."

Don’t expect anything from Hukou Daying. Zhong Qian is not a fool. Be careful not to leave if he is lucky!”

After the man left, Yan Yu changed his expression of harmless humans and animals and walked straight out of the camp gate and headed towards Jiujiang. The orders must be abide by. The fall of Jiujiang will not benefit everyone, so you should be more careful at this time.

The Xifu Army in Yongning City was about to go crazy because their commander disappeared. Huo Youji was still chatting and bragging with the soldiers in the camp early in the morning. He disappeared after lunch. Sima in the army did not dare to speak out, but just asked for help.

The Mingjiansi in the army did not give a reply until midnight was approaching. The result of the reply made Sima in the army want to kill him. The Mingjiansi found that Huo Youji and others appeared near Chihuo when the sun sets, and then

It cannot be detected either.

Seeing that it was getting dawn, Sima in the army could no longer sit still and planned to seek help from Xuan Song in Ezhou. As soon as he left the tent, he ran into Huo Youji, who was covered in water.

"Is Peng Sima so anxious to go for breakfast?" Huo Youji said jokingly.

"Instructor Huo, where have you been?! The general left the central army without permission, what are the military rules?!" Peng Sima asked sternly, he was really angry.

Huo Youji looked indifferent and said, "Peng Sima calmed down. I just went to the front line to take a look. Look, I'm fine!"

Although the generals in the Western Prefecture Army have their own characteristics and different temperaments, they are really the first to be so arrogant like Huo Youji. They are rogue, cunning, and intelligent. They all describe him alone, and they are not in the Inner Guard Mansion.

I know that I can’t change how many military sticks I beat by General An.

"Instructor Huo, I will report this matter to the Grand Commander's Office truthfully!" Peng Sima stubbornly said, not planning to let him go.

Huo You shrugged and said, "Sima Peng is casual. Do you want me to send a fast horse in the army to send you the documents to impeach me?"

"You..." It was extremely shameless. Before Peng Sima could find a good idea, Huo Youji suddenly said seriously: "Old Peng, come here."

Huo Youji walked straight to the hanging map and pointed at Fenglin Town above and said, "I plan to move the army to Fenglin Town. The vanguard army of Xixinqiao asked them to retreat to Chi Town as a partial division to harass Chaisangkou."

Peng Sima could distinguish the importance of the matter and thought it carefully. Although he felt that this move was risky, it was a dangerous move and said solemnly: "My subordinates agree, and the military counselor can report it while moving the army."

Huo Youji looked at Sima with appreciation and said, "I took the counselor yesterday and I'm missing your signature now."

Peng Sima nodded and said seriously: "It's okay to let me sign. Just leave the task of leading the partial division to me. The Central Army has no problem with the commander Huo and the counselors. It's not a big deal. It's a bit important to harass Chaisangkou.

Only those who can make Zhong Qian believe it, right?"

Huo Youji was still a little hesitant. Peng Sima Peng Zhiyuan was recommended by the Grand Governor's Office. He is an excellent student of both colleges and universities. It goes without saying that the risk factor of being a single-minded teacher is the only one.

Seeing Huo Youji hesitating, Peng Zhiyuan said: "Huo ordered the fighter to be fleeting, and it is not a woman's kindness. When the Western Prefecture was first established, Jin Shuai led a single army to stir up Xingtan, and the army that was replaced by a lifetime of death was stable."

Huo Youji bowed at him and said, "Then it's a blessing for Peng Sima. The task of the partial division is to harass and restrain the defenders of Chaisangkou. I will take down Chaisang City as soon as possible and then go east to Jiujiang. I hope you can hold on to the army to assist.

.”

Peng Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, commander, if you can't win, just hide! The old tradition of the Western Palace will not be able to fight stupid wars."

Huo You hurriedly watched Peng Zhiyuan leave, and his heart suddenly became heavy. The partial army could not ask for help or retreat north, but could only deal with the enemy. The six thousand people could survive in the end. I don’t know and dare not guess how many people could survive.

Do it as you say, and hand it over to Mingjiansi directly. They had the fastest way to pass it on. Then the army began to move. All movements were silent. Horses had no hoof sounds, people had no snoring, daytime and nighttime, three nights

The urgent march finally arrived in Fenglin Town.

As soon as he arrived, Huo Youji ordered someone to pass the news to Peng Zhiyuan. Having agreed to start a fight in two days, Huo Youji was confident that he would take down Chaisang City within half a day. After taking it, he would have no problem marching to Jiujiang one day, because he was afraid that Jiujiang would have heavy troops.

If you can't win quickly, the entire battle situation will be detrimental to you in an instant.

Taking advantage of the time of sending the letter, Huo Youji took his personal guard and counselor directly to Jiujiang to inquire about the news.

"Young master, brothers have figured it out. Jiujiang has just transferred a group of people to Hukou Daying. Jiujiang's current city defense is no more than 20,000 people."

In a restaurant near Jiujiang City Gate, Huo Youji took three people and looked like businessmen to eat and drink.

"Hukou?" Huo Youji's mouth raised slightly. He wanted to say that Zhong Qian was indeed capable. He did not reduce Hukou's defense because of himself. He was a good defensive general, but Zhong Qian would not think that he would give up.

He directly attacked Chaisangkou and walked around behind him.

"If we attack Jiujiang, how long will the soldiers in Chaisangkou return to the rescue at the fastest time?" This is what Huo Youji is most concerned about.

"They have two ways to return to the aid. One is by land, which takes about three hours, and the other is by water. The Yanghu Navy can arrive in two hours." The military counselor said quickly. This is their responsibility and must be mastered in detail.

Enemy dynamics.

"In other words, we must take Jiujiang within two hours and re-arrange the defense?" Huo Youji had a headache. Although there were not many 20,000 defenders, even if they had poor defense, they wanted to control the huge Jiujiang in two hours.

It is impossible for the city to happen.

Difficult! It's so difficult! The three of them were silent for a moment. Huo Youji, who was staring at the city tower, said: "If Jiujiang Defense could solve the return of the Chaisangkou and Yanghu Navy under our control in advance, would it be right?"

"Uh, yes, at least it's like this on the surface." The counselor was surprised.

Then Huo Youji made the boldest decision in his life and the wisest decision, and said to the counselor: "You go out of the city and rush back to Fenglin Town immediately!"
Chapter completed!
