Although the various princes have their own secret intentions, in the final analysis, there is a common enemy this time.
Therefore, a small episode like the one before passed quickly and did not really cause any big disturbance.
There is no need for the "own people" to have a fight among themselves before the war officially starts. Each of these people are quite sensible people, and none of them can do such a thing.
"Report..."
On the second day after the princes formally formed a blood alliance, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu were preparing to bid farewell to Cao Cao, Chi You, and Zhao Kuangyin, and go to preside over the Yangtze River War, when a long and drawn-out voice sounded in the peaceful camp.
As early as when the various princes mobilized their troops, they already had their own strategic goals. The princes of the Central Plains began to break through from the direction of Nanyang, while Zhu Yuanzhang in the south broke through from Jiangxia and Jiangling, attacking from the north and south.
Together we defeated Jingbei.
A scout rushed in, knelt on one knee and said: "My lord, there is an urgent report from Nanyang. Li Xiang's subordinate Yue Fei has led 10,000 troops out of the city and is approaching our frontline camp. General Bi has gathered his troops and is preparing to fight."
"Yue Fei?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly. The princes here were no strangers to this one of several great governors under Li Xiang, and they also spoke highly of Yue Fei. From the eastern front of the Yongliang War to Guangchengguan and the Xiang family,
War, and then the Battle of Jingbei, Yue Fei has always been in charge. This man can fight, is strict with himself, and is calm and measured. Apart from not being able to speak very well, as a general, there is almost nothing
shortcoming.
"A mere 10,000 people dare to go out to fight. Yue Fei is so brave!" Chi You said with some surprise. You know, there is Zhao Kuangyin's 120,000 army here.
Among the three princes of the Central Plains, Cao Cao's territory was to the north of Nanyang, while Zhao Kuangyin's territory was to the east of Nanyang. Therefore, the two of them did not join forces.
This time, their strength is sufficient. Even if they divide their forces to fight, there is no possibility of defeating each other. On the contrary, dividing their forces can also have the effect of embarrassing Jingbei on all sides. As long as one direction is breached, then Jingbei will immediately be defeated.
It will become a sieve.
Moreover, in this way, problems caused by ownership can also be avoided.
After all, at this point in time, who wants to take orders from another person and be subordinate to another person, especially when they themselves are hostile to each other.
That is to say, Cao Cao and Chi You were relatively weak compared to Zhao Kuangyin. With the foundation of cooperation, they joined forces. The rest, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang, all did their own things.
Their side is not like those in the north. Except for Yuan Shao who went to fight in person as a prince, the others came as generals.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu were not as active as Chi You at this time. They had suffered enough at the hands of Yue Fei during the previous battle in Jingbei. In their opinion, since Yue Fei dared to fight at this time, he must have his own
purposeful.
"Gentlemen, the war is urgent. I have to go to the front line to preside over the battle." Zhao Kuangyin stood up, held his hands in front of everyone and said, "You guys can do your best."
…
Cao Cao also stood up and said loudly, "I have long heard that Yue Fei is so powerful. Cao Cao just happened to go and see it so that he could study strategies to defeat the enemy."
Although Cao Cao had fought good battles with the Jin army before, his target at that time was not Yue Fei, but Wei Qing and Li Jing.
But they wanted to attack Jingbei next, and Yue Fei was their biggest obstacle. Therefore, Cao Cao didn't mind taking this opportunity to see Yue Fei's power, and he also borrowed Zhao Kuangyin's army to see Yue Fei's power.
"Okay." Zhao Kuangyin nodded and did not refuse. He immediately looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Brother Wu Wang..."
"There are still good generals in the army. I will ask Brother Zhao Wang to go and have a look so that he can be prepared." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said that his army has now reached the front line of the Yangtze River. Although the war is about to start, it will not last for a few more days.
superior.
There was no need for him to see how powerful Yue Fei was, but he wanted to see how good these guys from Zhongyuan were. If he could defeat Li Xiang in this battle, then his biggest enemy would be Zhao Kuangyin.
After all, among the princes who approached him, Liu Xiu's little strength could even be said to have withdrawn from the ranks of princes.
After passing this station, Liu Che was definitely severely weakened, so there was no need to worry.
On the contrary, Zhao Kuangyin, who shared the Jin army's cake with them, replaced Liu Che and became Zhu Yuanzhang's other number one enemy.
Zhao Kuangyin did not refuse and glanced at the generals behind Cao Cao and Zhu Yuanzhang. If necessary, he would not mind using the power of these people. At that moment, the group left the camp.
Liu Xiu also followed. If he and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to start a war, they could not do without the strength of the navy. However, the main force of the Jin army's navy was not in Jingbei at this time. In addition, they had also made enough efforts.
You don't have to worry about any big problems if you make arrangements.
Only Chi You did not stay.
He and Cao Cao were also afraid that this was Yue Fei's plan to attack the east and attack the west, so they set up a fascination formation for them here. However, taking advantage of their absence, they turned their main force to attack their army north of Nanyang.
Therefore, it would be better for one of Cao Cao and Chi You to go back just in case.
When Zhao Kuangyin led a group of princes and rushed to the front line, the troops and horses had already been assembled.
"Lord!" Bi Zaiyu came forward with a group of generals to pay homage to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Has there been a war?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Bi Zaiyu and said in a deep voice.
"The war hasn't started yet, so Yue Fei doesn't know what's going on. After leaving the city, he didn't come to attack. He just invited our army to fight. The general didn't dare to take action, so he sent someone to inform the lord." Bi Zaiyu bowed.
Bi Zaiyu is a fierce general, but he is also a famous general. However, Zhao Kuangyin has many famous generals under his command, so he does not get many opportunities, and he uses him more as a fierce general.
Although Bi Zaiyu also wanted to find an opportunity to prove himself, Yue Fei's record was world-famous, and he couldn't easily make his own decision in a battle with a person of this level.
"Since he gave up the city and went to fight, our army cannot weaken its momentum!" Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "Are the soldiers and horses ready?"
"Thirty thousand elite troops have been assembled and are ready to go to war at any time." Bi Zaiyu nodded.
Thirty thousand elite troops faced the enemy's 10,000 Jin troops. In Bi Zaiyu's view, this was definitely enough.
