Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth open fight
Luyi, in the suburbs.
Wei Yunkong came in person and directed his soldiers to advance like Yingtian Mansion.
There is no danger here to guard, and there is no forest here to hide.
Woods, rice fields, villages and large areas of crops appeared in front of people. The flat fields and the crowded houses everywhere made Wei Yunkong believe that their plans were foolproof and Chen Shou did not expect his main attack direction.
The Huai Army went down, and neither encountered powerful army blocking nor small guerrilla attacks. Until it entered the fertile hinterland of Yingtian Mansion, it was still very easy and smooth.
In the middle of the headquarters, a simple map was placed in front of Wei Yunkong. The drawing was very simple, and the scale, terrain and other information could not be reflected, but important rivers, cities, and passes could be seen.
Yingtian Mansion was right in front of him. He had already seen the beautiful scene of taking Yingtian and the Tang navy heading north and hanging Chen Shou's head at the top of the city.
At the same time, Yao Guan, who received the news, issued a manifesto that shocked the world, claiming to be the content of Emperor Xiyuan's blood edict, saying that Chen Shou was holding the king and tortured all officials, calling on all heroes in the world to recruit their own troops and go to Beijing to serve the king. Some of them were the first to enter the city and were awarded the title of king.
As soon as the news came out, no matter whether it was true or false, it caused a far-reaching storm.
For a time, many people were eager to try, and more people were watching to see how strong Chen Shou was and whether he could withstand this storm.
The troops under his command are now very considerable. Zhang Zhengyuan transformed the imperial guards, with no less than 100,000; the troops recruited by the bandits recruited in Shandong totaled 150,000 and 60,000; the elite troops of Daming Mansion were handed over by Liang Zhongqiu; although the newly recruited troops in Hedong were only 50,000 or 60,000, the combat power was amazing.
With so many soldiers, coupled with his ally Xiliang, Chen Shou's paper strength is not inferior to anyone.
The first person to respond to the Yaoguan manifesto was Jiang Chucai from Hedong. He also brought a shocking news that the Mongols would send troops to help.
The pressure in Hedong suddenly increased, and no one believed that Yuan Xiannian, who had just gone to Hedong, was killed in the darkness of the sky and the earth, and was able to block Jiang Chucai and the Mongolian coalition forces.
In their opinion, Yuan Xiannian destroyed the tacit understanding and balance in the local area. Killing is a great pleasure, but it will face backlash.
Even Chen Shou's confidants in the court had a lot of people, and wrote a letter to suggest Chen Shou withdrawing Yuan Xiannian and re-arrange a well-mannered official to calm the hearts of the people.
Chen Shou scoffed at this and sent someone overnight to send Yuan Xiannian the imperial edict for promotion, and gave a great reward, which promoted his subordinates one level, and some even three levels in a row.
Everyone suddenly realized that Yuan Xiannian's madness in Hedong was not because of his own mental problems, but because of the instructor of Zhongyong Hou.
Officials who had originally commented heavily on this kept silent. Chen Shou's prestige grew, and no one wanted to make him feel bad.
At this critical moment, the local gentry and bad gentry in Taiyuan City had not yet come down. Their only hope was that Jiang Chucai would bring the Mongols in quickly.
The Mongols only wanted their money, but Yuan Xiannian and Chen Shou wanted their life.
Sending money and not giving up life is just a saying. When it comes time to make a decision, most people can still distinguish between priorities.
Of course, Yuan Xiannian's butcher knife also has supporters, and in terms of the number of people, it is an overwhelming majority.
But these people have no right to speak, never regard them as human beings, but just treat them as cattle and sheep.
This is the people at the bottom of Hedong. They treated Yuan Xiannian as wise. When the recruitment documents came, countless people flocked to the recruitment site to guard the blue sky in front of them.
They used to be too hard, and after a few days of good life, someone was about to destroy everything. These people who came out of suffering were preparing to sacrifice their lives and fight to the end.
Yuan Xiannian was very nervous. He had not even had a stable sleep for several days and nights, but since he chose this path, he had to go all the way. Fortunately, Chen Shou supported him.
Zhongyong Hou did not make any mistakes, so I chose to trust him again!
This is the biggest motivation to support Yuan Xiannian to get to this point and continue to move forward.

Bianliang, water pavilion.
On the huge map, red dots are marked with enemies on each front. Looking around, the whole world is full of enemies.
Chen Shou stood under the map, holding a wooden stick in his hand, pointed at Lu Yi and said, "Zhang Zhengyuan's army set up a large pocket in Yingtian Prefecture, waiting for the Huai Army to drill in. In this battle, we will take back Huainan!"
"Marty, will your appetite be a little bigger?" Liu Zhiying sighed: "And what my subordinates are most worried about is Hedong. If there is any mistake in Hedong, we will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Mongols. We must not send troops to Xiliang to resolve this dilemma."
"Yes! The situation in the north is always extremely dangerous if the troops in Xiliang do not come out." Huang Zhen also nodded.
Everyone looked at Chen Shou. Everyone no longer had any doubts about his relationship with Xiliang, but it was not clear to everyone that Chen Shou had not asked for help from Liangzhou.
Chen Shou was silent for a moment and said, "I believe that Yuan Xiannian has no problem with Hedong. From Taiyuan to Datong, it is our northern key. Don't worry."
No one knows where Zhongyonghou’s confidence comes from. Only Chen Shou knows that this line of defense was built by Li Xin himself. On this line of defense, he was able to defend hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops from the south with ease, while he was still interested in fighting with himself.
Nowadays, Yuan Xiannian’s troops are strong or not?
Many people think they are vulnerable because they are all people, and many of them are even refugees.
Chen Shou knew that this was a group of warriors who protected their homes, and their fighting will was so strong that it was breathtaking.
There are also many veterans sent by themselves in Hedong. The tactical goals are very clear, just one word to keep.
With the back of the city wall, united as one, and there were countless food and supplies that were confiscated. In this case, no alien race could break through this line of defense.
Are the Mongols who swept across Europe and Asia strong in later generations? They fought in Diaoyu City for decades but failed to move south.
Chen Shou pointed at Yingtian Mansion, cleared his voice, and said loudly: "Our main goal is the Huai Army. Destroying the Huai Army is the core of all current problems."
As soon as he finished speaking, several personal soldiers suddenly came in, walked to Chen Shou, and whispered in his ear.
Chen Shou's expression continued to change, and finally became a little pale.
Several confidants stood up, looked at Chen Shou, waiting for him to announce the news.
"Wu Meng approached Hejian Mansion with 180,000 troops."
There was a lot of exclamation in the hall, this was really bad news.
Liaodong Iron Cavalry, entered the venue.
Chapter completed!
