After Yue Fei launched his offensive again, nearly half a month passed.
Li Xiang stared at the letter that came back from the flying pigeon in his hand, and read it over and over again. There was not much content in the letter, only a few simple words, but Li Xiang only read these few words.
, and read it over and over again.
Obviously, this news shocked Li Xiang.
"Liu Xiu!" He muttered the name while placing the newspaper in his hand on the candlestick and lighting it.
Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was indeed not an easy person to deal with, and he could actually do this kind of thing at this time. Now, Liu Xiu suddenly made such a move, and the situation in the south has to change again.
I don’t know if this time, I can completely eliminate Liu Xiu, the great enemy!
Who would have thought that at such a critical time, a general like Wang Liao was not resisting the Jin army in the north of Jing, but was sent by Liu Xiu to sneak attack the south of Jing. To be more precise, he was sent by Liu Xiu
Sneak attack on Wuling County.
Speaking of which, if Xiang Yu hadn't kept looking for trouble for Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu wouldn't have paid so much attention to Xiang Yu. Perhaps, in the end, he probably wouldn't have had this idea.
Nowadays, Jingbei has been beaten to this extent by the Jin army. According to normal people's thinking, Liu Xiu should focus his main efforts on resisting Yue Fei instead of seizing other people's territory.
At this time, it is unwise to divide the troops to seize other people's territory!
Therefore, the people of the Xiang clan have no defense at all against Liu Xiu. The real focus of the Xiang clan's defense now is on Zhu Yuanzhang in the east. In their view, Liu Xiu is already a prince who is about to end his life.
Okay, is there anything else they need to pay attention to?
With calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, one side was struck by lightning, while the other side lacked proper precautions. The final result can be imagined.
Moreover, God helped Liu Xiu with the death of Fan Zeng. Once Fan Zeng died, Xiang Yu would probably not send troops to fight back immediately, but would at most send another general.
Wuling County has a total of twelve counties including Linyuan, Hanshou, Zuotang, Xiaoling, Lingyang, Chongxian, Yuanling, Chenyang, Youyang, Qianling, Tancheng and Yuannan. At the same time, it is also the four counties of Jingmen
The largest county among them is almost twice the size of other counties in terms of area.
But under the sneak attack of Wang Liao's 10,000-strong army, Wang Liao and Wei Yan's soldiers had already taken two counties in two groups in almost the same moment of meeting each other. Next, Wang Liao fully utilized the advantage of his soldiers' speed and speed, and did not do anything
If there is any pause, it will rush towards the surrounding three counties again.
It was not until this time, when five counties in Wuling County had fallen, that relevant news began to spread to Xiang Yu.
After hearing the news, Xiang Yu directly kicked over all the documents. He had not settled the old accounts with Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu actually dared to come to provoke him. Moreover, he still came to provoke him under such circumstances.
He, how disrespectful he is!
However, although he was angry, Xiang Yu still suppressed the anger in his heart and sent General Long Qie with 30,000 troops to attack, while he himself continued to return.
No matter what, even if we don't talk about the problems between Yu Ji and her son, Ya's father died of illness. No matter what, Xiang Yu should go back as soon as possible at this time.
Therefore, although Xiang Yu wanted to go back at this time and continue to settle some old and new scores, but this was not the right time, and he could only let Long Qie do it for him.
At the same time, when Wang Liao launched a sneak attack towards Jingnan, Deng Xi, Pang Ji, Han Song, Qi Wukai and others in Jiangling immediately transported the elite soldiers they had recruited before to Jingnan.
There was no way around it. It was already very difficult for Liu Xiu to send such ten thousand troops to Wang Liao. No matter how many more troops he had, he would not be able to spare them at all.
Fortunately, although these powerful warriors cannot be used to siege cities or conduct field battles, they can still be used to help defend the cities that have been captured.
After Qi Wukai personally transported these elites who had been recruited in advance to Jingnan, Deng Xi, Pang Ji, and Han Song started the large-scale immigration project again, moving as many people as possible from Nanjun to Jingnan.
That small part of the land was moved down.
This is only now. Next, Liu Xiu will relocate the people of Jiangxia. The people of Jiangxia are even more important to Liu Xiu. Because the people of Jiangxia have Xiang Yu's criminal record, they can definitely become a solid foundation to resist Xiang Yu.
.
Obviously, this is the way Liu Xiu found himself.
After all, the current navy strength of the Jin army is naturally comparable to that in the north, but it is still not as good as the south. The Jin army can move freely on land, but it is not enough to move freely on the Yangtze River.
Moreover, once the Jin army had the idea of crossing the river, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be the first to risk his life against the Jin army.
Therefore, Liu Xiu sent Wang Liao to carry out a sneak attack and carve out a small territory south of the Yangtze River. Even if it was not big, they could retreat there once they could no longer support themselves in Jingbei.
However, although this was a way of life, Liu Xiu himself knew very well that even if this way of life was opened up by him, the future would be very slim.
Firstly, they will inevitably face the counterattack of the Xiang family. Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been determined to win the territory south of the Yangtze River. Now that Liu Xiu has intervened at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang will not have an easy time.
.
Next, if Liu Xiu doesn't find a way to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang and Xiang Yu first, I'm afraid the territory he conquered will not be saved forever.
Another point is the most fatal problem. When Liu Xiu was at his peak, he owned the entire capital of Jingbei, but he was beaten to this point by others. With such a small piece of land, how could Liu Xiu compete with all the princes in the world?
.
It was precisely because of the many problems that Liu Xiucai knew that even if Wang Liao succeeded, it would only give him a little more time to survive, and his future was still very slim.
However, even so, Liu Xiu still arranged for Wang Liao to implement a plan. Even if the future is slim, the future is also uncertain.
Only by making some efforts can he win hope for his future. If he doesn't make efforts, he will never have a future.
Therefore, Liu Xiu must move Jiangxia and Nanjun to that area as much as possible at this time. Although the number of people that can be accommodated in such a small place is definitely limited, Liu Xiu must also try to make it as saturated as possible.
Even if he reserves a little more strength for himself, his life will be a little bit easier in the future, and his chances of making a comeback in the future will be a little bit more.
