"Report to General, our army was sent to serve as a camp against Lingzhou Prefecture. The temptations of Luping and the two counties were wiped out, and all five thousand soldiers were destroyed!" Zhang Wenkui's ears received military returns.
"Oh... Lingzhou Prefecture is indeed prepared! General Shen said nothing badly. It seems that we cannot take action against Lingzhou Prefecture now, and the situation is not good!" He was appointed by Chen Yuanhe as the guard of Donglai Prefecture. General Zhang Wenkui couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this position was very powerful, but at such a critical moment, he was really busy. If one is not good, it would lead to a loss of the whole game and affect the overall situation.
"Send an order! Let all counties close to Lingzhou Prefecture strengthen their defense and urgently recruit young and strong garrisons. At the same time, let the detectives increase their investigation of Lingzhou Prefecture. If there is any situation, report it immediately!" Zhang Wenkui ordered.
"Report... Report to the general that the food and supplies that our army has set in Xuzhou, Yangzhou and Jiangzhou were all intercepted by the Qingzhou naval army. Only three merchant ships escaped the interception of the Xiaoguo naval army and arrived at Laizhou Port successfully. "The matter about Lingzhou Prefecture has just been issued, and now the trouble is coming again.
After hearing this, Zhang Wenkui was overwhelmed. Now, the left-behind generals are not easy to do. The guards are in short supply, so purchasing food from the southern states is already the top priority outside the big tent. Now, this is already It is more important than fighting a war. But now, there is something wrong with this.
What does it mean to rain overnight, and the broken ship encounters the wind on the head again? That's it. Originally, the capture of Donglai Prefecture was such a great news for the guards. But in just a few days, the good news immediately It turned into bad news that could not be bad anymore.
First, Lingzhou Prefecture was occupied by the Xiaoguo Army, and then Langya Prefecture's guard base was occupied by the Xiaoguo Army. Half of the 30,000 elite troops of the Xiaoguo Army were eliminated and half of them were annexed. Gaomi Prefecture was besieged by the two Xiaoguo Army. The Qingzhou Prefecture Army also stood on the side of the Xiaoguo Army, leaving the Guards in an extremely bad situation now.
Well, let’s not talk about this war for the time being, but immediately afterwards, even his own logistics supplies will be pinched by Xiao Guojun.
Under the alliance between the Youzhou navy and the navy, under the north-south encirclement and attack, no merchant ships dared to approach the eastern part of Donglai Prefecture. Without merchant ships approaching, where did the supplies come back? Without supplies, what kind of troops should be raised? After understanding Zhang Wenkui discovered that things were more difficult than he had imagined. The troops of the Navy Army of the Xiaoguo Army began to deploy defenses in the North Sea, while pulling the net to intercept and searching the navy army. The seized materials were offset. The loss of training. It is said that even the pirates near Yizhou disappeared without a trace, which shows that the Xiaoguo Army naval army has a strong will to operate this time.
Zhang Wenkui knew that as time delayed, the reputation of the Xiaoguo Army's naval army became more and more popular. I am afraid that from then on, no merchant ship dared to transport supplies to Donglai Prefecture, and even said that no merchant ship dared to attack the Xiaoguo Army. The ruler smuggled materials and goods without the sea route. But without the supplies from the sea, how can the guards recover, expand, and fight?
"Damn!" Zhang Wenkui cursed fiercely, and finally sighed helplessly. This Xiaoguo Army was really still, and it turned over and turned us upside down. Alas, if it were Tang at that time, it was the beginning. The general would have not attacked the guards of Donglai Prefecture. Wouldn't it be better to attack the Qingzhou Prefecture Army directly? Zhang Wenkui thought to himself.
"The navy...the navy...why don't we have navy? Damn Zhao Xun, if his subordinates hadn't suddenly appeared, the Qingzhou navy would be my guards now." When Zhang Wenkui thought of the eastern sea route being blocked. , I couldn't help but feel resentful. Now that the sea road is broken, even if Zhang Wenkui has ten heads, it can't be solved. Without the navy, he can only watch. This makes Zhang Wenkui angry and angry, and in the end he can't find him. Solution.
"Immediately send a message to the general and inform you about the situation here, right away!" Zhang Wenkui immediately reported the current situation in Donglai Prefecture to the two generals of Gaomi Prefecture. This matter is no longer something it can do. In fact, he It is not known that the envoy sent by the Xuzhou army had been captured by the Xiaoguo army and sent to Gaomi Prefecture, the place where Zhao Xun garrison in Xiami County was stationed.
..............
Gaomi Prefecture, Gaomi County.
Tang Xian's 30,000 troops were stationed in four northern counties in Gaomi Prefecture, and the commander of the army was in the camp of Gaomi Prefecture. This place is located in the center of the northern counties and is also located in the important place connecting north and south of Gaomi Prefecture. Three days after leaving Huang County, Chen Yuanhe appeared in Gaomi County.
"Old Tang, you hurriedly summoned me this time. What's the matter?" Chen Yuanhe and Tang Xian were in the study. They sat quietly for a while, and finally Chen Yuanhe asked.
Tang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Old Shen, do you regret it? The current situation has long been my expectations. Maybe I should have listened to you at the beginning, just bear with it. Or, after taking the first step, I should have Stop."
Chen Yuanhe smiled and said, "Old Man Tang, you don't look like you when you say this! In my memory, you, Old Man Tang, have always been strong and fearless. Why? Are you afraid now?"
Tang Xian said seriously: "It's not that I'm afraid, but... it's because I suddenly feel like I don't know how to go."
Chen Yuanhe said: "Old man Tang, things have reached the point where they are now. Don't think about anything else, let alone blame others and regret. We have worked hard, and we will not regret whether we succeed or not. Besides, we are not at a dead end yet. Isn't it? "
Tang Xian's face turned right and said in a deep voice: "You are right. What's important now is not to regret or regret, but to go there soon and find a way to deal with it. By the way, what's going on in Donglai Mansion?"
Chen Yuanhe said: "Everything is fine, but the only bad thing is that Lingzhou Prefecture was occupied by the Xiaoguo Army. It caused the pressure to our south again. We worked hard for two months, overnight In the meantime, we returned to the previous pattern, which was even far inferior to the previous pattern. Just to say, Donglai Prefecture, our army was already in a state of attack between north and south. The east side of the intersection of Jiaodong Prefecture of Donglai Prefecture is just right Being reunited by Lingzhou Prefecture has blocked our contacts. In addition, the four southern counties of Gaomi Prefecture are now occupied by the Xiaoguo Army. It can be said that Jiaodong Prefecture is already surrounded by three sides, south and west."
Tang Xian sighed, "The navy...the navy! It is because the Xiaoguo army occupied the benefits of the navy, which made its subordinates travel south and north, which was extremely convenient. The loss of Lingzhou Prefecture was lost in our army without the navy. For the sake of this, if part of the Yangzhou Navy Army was still there, Lingzhou Prefecture would not have been lost. Even if Langya Prefecture was lost, we would not be afraid of the Xiaoguo Army. Unfortunately..." When it comes to the navy army, Tang Xian was full of regrets The color.
Chen Yuanhe said: "Old Man Tang, how should we act now?"
Tang Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what to do now, but Jiaodong Prefecture cannot be defended. Let the Jiaodong Prefecture bring food, grass and supplies, withdraw back to Donglai Prefecture and Gaomi Prefecture, and we retreat to the two places to defend."
Chen Yuanhe frowned and said in a muffled voice: "But with Donglai Mansion and half of Gaomi Mansion, it is impossible to supply 50,000 soldiers. If it were the case before, but Donglai Mansion had two months of war and no supplies could be available. Give us all together.”
Tang Xian said: "I understand, but if Jiaodong Prefecture does not withdraw, the thousands of guards and nearly ten thousand guards in Jiaodong Prefecture will be killed. In this way, I will choose 6,000 from the government and guards. The soldiers retreated to Donglai Mansion, and the rest defended on the spot."
"Old Shen, the Eighth Prefecture of the Xiaoguo Army is at the junction of Lingzhou Prefecture and Jiaodong Prefecture. I heard that I had fought with the Jiaodong Prefecture defenders many times. Every time I retreated at a touch, but it was a Days and days.”
"What does this have to do with the retreat of the Jiaodong Prefecture army?" Chen Yuanhe said in confusion.
"The Eighth Mansion of the Xiaoguo Army was the army of Donglai Mansion that had been attacked by us for two months and had lost nearly 30,000 new and old soldiers. It is reported that when the Eighth Mansion left the boat from Donglai Mansion, he took a boat to death. There are more than 5,000 soldiers. But now, they are recruiting and rebuilding in Lingzhou Prefecture. The soldiers of our Jiaodong Prefecture are the subjects and targets of their training." Tang Xian shook his head one after another and said.
Chen Yuanhe was stunned, and his face suddenly looked ugly. In this way, Jiaodong Mansion could not be kept. The so-called Eighth Mansion Army of the Xiaoguo Army and his own Guard Army were as frightened as the sea. If they really took Jiaodong Mansion It is better to withdraw the guards earlier than to train.
"Old Shen, has the reply from Xuzhou Army arrived? Didn't they say they were willing to join us?" Tang Xian said with a frown.
Chen Yuanhe said: "I don't know. Last time I talked, the Xuzhou army said that they would send an envoy to discuss with us in person and carry some supplies. However, when I was so powerful in Donglai Mansion, I have not received the arrival of the other party. News. Speaking of which, why does this feel a bit unreliable! Xuzhou Army and our Guard Army are both enemies, this..."
Tang Xian said in a deep voice: "It's right that it's an enemy, but now it's under the threat of the Xiaoguo Army. If our guards are there, the threat he will bear is small. The Xuzhou Army naturally needs a force to share the burden of Tasso's endorsement. pressure."
Chen Yuanhe sneered: "He, Li Chi, is fighting a good plan. In any case, our guards will have to bear the greatest pressure, and even the Xiaoguo army pursues and fights hard, while the Xuzhou army is behind to get the bargain. "
Tang Xian nodded and said, "That's right! The alliance is not impossible, it depends on how much the Xuzhou army is willing to pay. If the dilemma cannot be solved in front of us, what alliance will we talk about! But no matter what alliance it is, we cannot let us go. Become the knives in their hands. If we want us to fight against Xiaoguojun, they will take advantage of the situation behind the scenes, so how can we do that kind of good thing!"
"Old man Tang, tell me your thoughts. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you have a preparatory plan!"
"Talk peace with Xiao Guojun!" Tang Xian said in a muffled voice.
"Peace talk?" Chen Yuanhe said in a speechless voice.
"Yes, peace talks, the situation is very clear now. We are trapped in the three prefectures in the northeast of Qingzhou, with enemy troops on all sides. If one is not good, there will be danger of the entire army being killed. We can't fight any more. If you continue to fight, the result..." Tang Xian said in a low voice.
Chen Yuanhe smiled bitterly: "We used to attack Xiaoguo Army, but now Xiaoguo Army has the advantage. Do you think they will talk to us?"
Tang Xian took a deep breath and said with a ferocious look: "Can you do, I don't know. But my Gaomi Mansion and Donglai Mansion have 50,000 elite troops. If the Xiaoguo Army insists on killing me, then we will burn them with them. !At that time, I will drive away the people of Gaomi Prefecture and drive forward the army. I won’t believe it. Zhao Xun dares to take action against tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of unarmed people.”
"This..." Looking at Tang Xian's hideous expression, Chen Yuanhe didn't know what to say.
Tang Xian said: "This is just the last resort. I am going to send someone to talk to Zhao Xun and see the results."
