"Really dead."

Fifth Xinrou nodded calmly:

"In order to confirm this news, Xuedizi sent a large number of spies. It is certain that the Yan army was defeated, with nearly 100,000 soldiers lost, and the Liang army was victorious.

The emperor of the grassland was so angry that he even stood upright~"

"Liang Jun is really our number one enemy~"

The corner of Dugu Chengye's mouth was a little bitter. Tuobahong had been famous for a long time and was one of the top generals in the Yan army. He didn't expect to die in the hands of the Liang army. The Liang army's combat effectiveness was indeed terrifying.

Fifth Xinrou moved her palm lightly and stopped at the front line of Nanchong City and said:

"According to reliable information, the main force of the Liang Army has returned to Beiliang and Liaodong, and the King of Liang's banner has been erected on the front line. So there is no need to worry that the Liang Army will suddenly turn around.

The one who stayed behind in Nanchong City was Chu Yucheng, the ghost in white. His tens of thousands of troops must have been recruited from the Central Plains, and their combat effectiveness was average.

We have assembled nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi Province and rely on the strong city to confront the Liang army. It is absolutely impossible to break through our Gyeonggi Province defense line with the troops in Chu Yucheng's hands."

"Is Chu Yucheng guarding Nanchong City~"

Dugu Chengye recited it softly, with a slightly solemn look in his eyes. When Dugu Chengye was defeated in the battle at Quannan Pass, he had already experienced the power of this white-clothed ghost from Beiliang. Now Chu Yucheng is once again in charge of Nan

Chongcheng really made him feel uneasy.

Fifth Xinrou continued:

"It is said that the Liang Army's front line started fighting after the beginning of spring. Although the Yan Army lost one Tuoba Hong, follow-up reinforcements are still coming to the front line one after another.

Even if King Liang has three heads and six arms, he still can't use his hands to deal with us. The hundreds of thousands of Yan troops are enough for him to drink a pot."

Dugu Nan held his cheek with one hand and said thoughtfully:

"Since the Liang army was suppressed by the Yan army on the northern border, why don't we mobilize a large army to attack Nanchong City?

At this time, the troops in Nanchong City are weak, so maybe we can defeat the Liang army under attack from two sides, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

"No!"

Fifth Xinrou shook her head firmly and said:

"Now if we defeat the Liang army, we will have to face the impact of the Yan army's horse hooves, and we will be the ones being attacked from both sides.

This is not what we want to see, so having Liang Jun in front to block Yan Jun is a good thing for us.

While the Liang army is being held back by the Yan army, the right path is for us to concentrate our efforts on resolving the war in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"That's right~"

Several people nodded in unison.

Fifth Xinrou sat up slightly, cupped her hands in the air and saluted:

"This time I rushed to the front line with His Majesty's decree. This year, next year at the latest, we must deal with Zhou Jiaqing in Jiangnan. This scourge must not be allowed to remain!

Ahem, Your Majesty means the reason for the frontline war

I have full authority to command, and everyone must listen to my orders."

Fifth Xinrou coughed a few times and looked at Yu Wenhao.

In fact, this imperial edict was read to Yu Wenhao, and only he could carry out his orders.

"Promise! I will obey your Majesty's will."

Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan both clasped their fists and saluted in the direction of the capital. Yu Wenhao also nodded sharply and said:

"Don't worry, sir. I will do whatever you say and I won't cause any trouble."

Yu Wenhao can be considered self-aware, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, that's enough.

Fifth Heart raised his head and said:

"Two generals, after all, I have just arrived at the Jiangnan battlefield. Although military reports on the battle situation in the past six months have been sent to the front line, they are not detailed enough after all.

Next, please ask the two generals to tell us about the current battle situation and the strength comparison between the two sides?"

"good!"

"Sir, please look..."

…

Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan stood up at the same time and began to chat about the battle situation on the front line. Dugu Nan mainly talked about it, and Dugu Chengye supplemented. Yu Wenhao, who was sitting aside, listened honestly, completely

Can't get a word in.

Ever since Wu Xinrou rushed from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Yangtze River, the Long army had stopped fighting on the battlefield, trying to avoid large-scale battles with the Wu army.

Neither Zhou Jiaqing nor Ling Gong are fools. They know that Fifth Xinrou leaving the front line is a godsend for them.

He wanted to seize the opportunity, so he spared no effort to provoke the Long army and wanted to defeat it in a decisive battle.

Fortunately, with Dugu Chengye and Dugu Nan in charge, Wu Jun's method of provoking the generals had no effect.

But the situation changed after the New Year~

The Wu army, which had been clinging to the fortified city, went out of the way to counterattack and captured the towns along the way, catching the Long army by surprise. This time the Long army was defeated because they fell into the Wu army's treacherous plan and almost suffered a devastating defeat.

The current situation is that the Long army retreats again and again, while the Wu army is victorious.

Wu Xinrou nodded frequently as he listened. His memory was surprisingly good. While listening to the descriptions of the two men, he could still recall the battle reports sent to the capital before, and quickly began to review the entire battle situation in his mind.

Dugu Nan said in a deep voice: "The Wu army's counterattack this time is fierce. As of yesterday, we have lost at least twenty or thirty cities and a large amount of ordnance, food, grass and supplies."

"Hmm~"

Wu Xinrou murmured softly: "This Ling Gong, he wants to take advantage of the Jiangbei army to get some results first~"

Although Fifth Xinrou has arrived at the front line, the hundreds of thousands of troops transferred from Jiangbei are still setting off one after another. It will take some time to reach the front line and join the battle.

This period of time is the best opportunity for Wu Jun to launch an attack.

"We speculate that Ling Gong had this plan."

Dugu Chengye nodded and agreed:

"So I gave strict orders to the garrison troops in each battalion. They were only allowed to hold on and never go out to fight.

Wait until our armies join forces and then fight to the death with the Wu army!"

Fifth Xinrou nodded slightly: "Well, that's enough.

As long as Liang Jun doesn't intervene, Zhou Jiaqing will be alone and will die in our hands sooner or later!"

"Very good!"

Yu Wenhao on the side heard this sentence and patted his thigh excitedly and said:

"I have long been dissatisfied with the arrogance of Zhou Jiaqing and Wu Jun. I really want to see them defeated and surrendered as soon as possible!"

Because of the defeat these days, Yu Wenhao followed the army all the way back, sleeping in the open air, not eating well or sleeping well. It can be said that he suffered a lot. Naturally, he had to put all these accounts on Wu Jun's head. If Zhou Jiaqing hadn't rebelled, he would have suffered a lot.

Where is the need to endure these hardships?

Fifth Xinrou narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the two generals and said in a deep voice:

"Do three things first.

First: The whole army sticks to the barracks to prevent the Wu army from taking advantage of the chaos to attack. The battle line can only be pushed to this position by the Wu army, and our army cannot retreat one step further!

Second: Prepare ordnance, food, grass, and materials, so that the soldiers from Jiangbei can rest for two days after arriving, and then mix with the army to increase the army's combat effectiveness and enter the battlefield as soon as possible.

Third: Send out scouts to closely monitor the Wu army’s movements, but if there is any unusual movement, report it immediately!”
