Chapter 5 Staying in Xincai

"Do you want to remind Liu Jingluo, General Yang Lin said?"

Seeing Jiang Xie filed the secret letter, Zhou Jing frowned slightly and asked,

"If Huainan really doesn't care, he will directly order Han Shiliang to give up Xu Sunan and withdraw from Sizhou. Once Tu Ge's troops decide to advance westward, the speed will be very fast."

Han Shiliang abandoned Xu and Su, which enabled the tens of thousands of Eastern Pingyan Army leaders led by the third prince of Chihu, Tu Ge, to escape westward, and the flanks of the Rushui defense line would become extremely dangerous.

The Rushui defense line is located on the Huaibei Plain and above Qiugang, and is a backslash line with a forty-five degrees angle.

Yang Lin's troops guarded Zhaoling, Shangcai, Xiping, and Suiping, which were located in the middle and upper section of this backslash line.

Huaichuan City, which Liu Xian led the Xuanwei army to defend, was located at the lower end of the backslash line, on the northwest bank where the Rushui River and Huai River intersected, and was originally much safer.

However, Liu Xian and the generals of Xuanwei Army were unwilling to do nothing. In the past two months, they sent troops from Huaichuan, occupying several wuzhai east of Xincai, and the puppet Chu army occupied the two cities of Shenqiu and Taihe in the northern part of Yingzhou, with the puppet Chu army. Zhong Changqing's troops confronted each other on the southwest bank of Yingshui.

The Xuanwei army actually protruded northward from the lower half of the backslash and entered the middle area between the Rushui River and the Ying River, and the situation was even more dangerous.

Although the main force of the Pingyan Army on the Chihu East Road, if he wanted to go west directly after occupying Xuzhou, he would encounter large rivers such as Bian River, Wo Water, Ying River, etc., but after Han Shiliang gave up Xu, Su, Wo Water, Bian River, The coast of Yingshui will be blocked by a large number of elite scouts from Chihu people, and it will be difficult for them to control the movements of the main force of the Pingyan Army on the Chihu East Road at any time.

It may be difficult for the Chihu cavalry to advance westward directly from Xuzhou, but their mobility is extremely strong. It only takes two or three days to dispatch 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry to detour from the southern part of Bianliang.

Whether it is Liu Xian or Yang Lin, if you are careless, you will most likely suffer a great loss.

Yang Lin could still keep a close eye on Rushui, but Liu Xian's troops were inserted between Rushui and the downstream of Yingshui. Yingshui was mainly under the control of the puppet Chu army, so it was difficult to find that the large number of cavalry would come from in time. Cross the Ying River in Xuzhou and Chenzhou, and then turn around and penetrate the southeast.

Xu Huai patted his head and said with some headache: "We shouldn't have pointed at this matter - just, Jiang Xie, draft two letters to General Yang Lin and Liu Jingluo, asking them to pay attention to the possibility of The cavalry came from Fugou and Taikang, hoping that they would speed up the people and retreat southward to prevent unpreparedness.”

The Tianxiong Army, the Youxiaosheng Army and the Xuanwei Army are all affiliated with the Imperial Camp Command and are independent of each other. Xu Huai at most shared the information that Chu Shan has mastered with Yang Lin and Liu Xian, rather than suggesting. Advocate what they should do.

Regarding whether the Rushui defense line needs to be adjusted, it should be issued by Emperor Jianji or the Privy Council led by Hu Kai.

What's more, Liu Xian has a higher status than Xu Huai, and Yang Lin has a deeper qualification in the army than Xu Huai. Xu Huai exceeds his sphere of authority. It is likely that it is thankless to make suggestions to Liu Xian and Yang Lin.

Of course, it is not the time to worry about this.

"Liu Yueting bandaged Jian Chuang, the two brothers are coming to thank him in person!" The guard walked into the camp to report.

"I'll go see them." Du Wu felt that Xu Huai was busy with all kinds of things and could not trouble Xu Huai such trivial matters, so he stood up and took the initiative to take over the matter.

Xu Huai, Shi Zhen and Wang Ju are in Wangshanjin, which is a secret. Others still think that the ones stationed in Wangshanjin are all the first-hand soldiers of the Tianxiong Army, but they did not expect that they would be the guards' personal camp here.

"Please come in and speak!" Xu Huai waved his hand and asked the guards to invite Liu Yueting and Liu Huting brothers in. He wanted to learn more about the details of Yue Hailou's troops' attack on Liujiaji and other Yingshui South Bank Wuzhai.

After a while, Liu Yueting, who had bandaged the Arrow Crafts, and Liu Huting and his brothers walked in.

The young man Liu Huting ate some food in the camp and changed into clean clothes. He was not old, but he was a little bookish.

Liu Yueting looked twenty-four or five years old, with a pale face as if he had lost blood, but his injuries were not serious. Both arrows were on his left shoulder and he was wearing leather armor to block it. It did not hurt his muscles and bones, and did not hinder his movements.

Liu Yueting has a tall and strong posture, and his arms, neck and muscles are twisted. He looks like he is good at slashing his eyes.

Du Wu visited the Liu Family Museum with Zhu Chengjun six or seven years ago. At that time, Liu Yueting was already a famous young man in the Shangshui area.

Unfortunately, no matter how strong the individual's force is, he only gathers more than a dozen ordinary township warriors, and there is no skillful weapon and crossbow. It is still a delusion to intercept the dozens of elite cavalry who have cooperated with the tacit understanding of the situation.

When Liu Yueting walked into the camp, he recognized Zhou Jing and Du Wu and said ashamed:

"My father did not hear Mr. Zhou and Uncle Du's advice, which eventually caused this disaster. When his father died, he was very regretful and asked me and Huting to go to Chushan to join Mr. Zhu and Uncle Du. Unexpectedly, he was successively defeated by the enemy on the way.

If it weren't for the Tianxiong Army General's rescue in time, Huting and I would have followed our father!"

"Don't be sad, this world cannot tolerate us indulging in sorrow," Du Wu said. "The puppet Chu army attacked Liujiaji, and we still have some details to ask you. These three are Mr. Xu, Shi

Master, the prince, are all generals and officials of Tianxiong Army!”

Du Wu could not tell Liu Yueting and Xu Huai and others about their true identities, for fear that the news would leak, which would lead to Yue Hailou.

"I am Xu Huai! You all sit down and talk!" Xu Huai admitted his identity and signaled the Liu Yueting brothers to sit down and talk.

"Jing, Jing Shenghou"

After the Tongbai Mountain Bandits Rebellion, Xu Huai's name as "Manghu" was spread to the Rushui River and Ying River. The rumors of "Yaksha Fox" were even more mysterious - two northern expeditions to Yan, and Xu Huainan returned to Zhichu Mountain,

Then he was granted the title of Marquis of Jingsheng and the General of the Imperial Capture. He can be said to be a legendary figure in Huai.

Liu Yueting never thought that Xu Huai was helping him personally. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Yue Hailou moved to Chenzhou, first massacre the city of Chenzhou, and then divided his troops to cross the Yingshui River and robbed them, but this was divided into two stages.

In the early stage, we mainly plundered and slaughtered ordinary villages without much defense ability. It was not until ten days ago that we strongly attacked such as Liujiaji, and the brave soldiers and villages, and there were usually strong local forts in charge.

Chushan is still relatively limited in collecting information in this regard.

This can only truly reflect the real combat effectiveness of Yue Hailou's troops.

"Training troops | The one who attacked the Liu family was the rebel general Feng Shizhao's subordinate Xu Kuishan"

The young Liu Huting knew only the details of the fall of Liu Jiaji, but Liu Yueting participated in the defense of Liu Jiaji and broke through and escaped after Liu Jiaji was captured, so he knew more clearly.

Liu Yueting mentioned many details he knew one by one.

Of course, Xu Huai, Zhou Jing and others asked in a very detailed manner.

"Do you have any relatives and friends to seek refuge, or go to Chushan to recuperate first?" Xu Huai asked Liu Yueting.

"Please ask the General of the Imperial Guard to arrange someone to send Huting and Ningyu to stay in Chushan. Yueting's injury is not hindering. Please ask the General of the Imperial Guard to serve in the army to repay the blood debts of thousands of people from the Liu family!

"Liu Yueting stood up and knelt before the desk, begging.

"If you serve in the army, you must first recover your wounds," said Xu Huai, "You brothers must stay in Chushan, and Du Wu will make arrangements for you!"

The guards led Liu Yueting and Liu Huting brothers to rest. Xu Huai paved the Ruying Geometric Map in front of the case and marked several forts that were recently captured by the puppet Chu army from the map.

"The strategy of Taiyuan must not be renewed, at least it is not a good opportunity at the moment!" Shi Zhen advised.

"Oh, Mr. Shi guessed what I thought?" Xu Huai asked with his head raised.

"You asked the two brothers Liu Yueting to come over and ask the many details of the fall of the Liu family. Isn't you just want to severely defeat Yuehailou's troops before the main force of the Chihu Pingyan Army advanced westward? Only in this way can the Pingyan Army arrive in Ruying,

Without infantry and soldiers, they will naturally give up attacking Shangcai, Shaoling and other cities," Shi Zhen shook his head and said, "Your thoughts are not that difficult to guess."

"I can't guess what bad idea Ji Shuai is thinking. Isn't it difficult to guess?" Niu Er stood there and said in a hunch, and asked Wang Ju again, "Seventh Master guessed it? You looked shocked when you looked shocked.

I'm afraid I didn't guess what I looked like, right?"

"" Wang Ju raised his big fist and waved it at Niu Er, asking him to shut up.

"I just think about it." Xu Huai stood in front of the desk with his hands and said leisurely.

"We cannot bear all the responsibilities, this is just one aspect. Since the new expansion of the Xiaosheng Army and the Xuanwei Army, they have never fought a real tough battle. How solid the foundation is, there is no way to test - now from

From top to bottom, the Xiaosheng Army left and right, no matter how much the Xuanwei Army suffered, it was not a bad thing. I was afraid that we would suffer heavy casualties and severely hurt Yuehailou's troops, making it difficult for the Chihu people to deal with Rushui in a short time.

Using troops along the line will in turn breed the left and right victorious army, and the Xuanwei army is willing to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly," Shi Zhen said, "Before the left and right victorious army, Xuanwei army, and Xuanwu army have all grown up and completely consolidated the foundation of Xiangyang.

Even if the powerful army wins repeatedly, how many enemy soldiers can they kill?"

Now both sides have a lot of military potential to tap, so victory or defeat cannot determine the overall situation.

For Xiangyang, as long as the defense line on Huai is not broken, no matter how many defeats the troops are, they can recruit soldiers from Jinghu, Jianghuai and other places to the battlefield. At that time, the troops will become more and more brave and brave, and will be from the sand.

Get out real gold.

Xu Huai sighed slightly and said, "Now is a strategic stalemate, and we really need to restrain our reckless intentions. However, if Yang Lin had no intention of giving up Shangcai, if Liu Xian didn't want to take all his troops back to Huaichuan, we would give up.

Xin Cai will inevitably be criticized - let's do it, I personally stay in Xin Cai, everything else will be the same!"

According to Xu Huai's plan, Xincai and Queshan and Zhenyang, southwest of Xincai, must give up before large groups of enemies approached.

However, Zhaoling, Shangcai, Xincai and Huaichuan were built on the Rushui River, which was also the first layer of defense of the Rushui defense line.

Before Yang Lin had withdrawn from Shaoling, Shangcai, and there were still a large number of troops between the Xuanwei army and the downstream of the Rushui River. Tianxiong Army had advanced to the new one as one of the four major nodes of the first layer of defense.

Will Cai withdraw his troops, Yang Lin, and Liu Xian turn against each other?

It is necessary to defend it, and even if it is to withdraw, it must be consistent with Yang Lin and Liu Xian.
