Soochow had the right time, but did the Eastern Jin Dynasty have the right time? It was too late.

Every city in Huainan is very precious, and every inch of land should be fought for. If Jiangdong is safe, how can we give up so easily?

At this time, another Zhonglang officer, Gu Zhong, spoke up and said: "What Zhongxian, Commander-in-Chief, said is not unreasonable. Today there are many naval divisions but few land divisions. The soldiers are not good enough and their morale is low. It is difficult to conquer and achieve victory. It is better to return home."

Go. Hefei has two cities, the old and the new. The old city is adjacent to the rivers and lakes in the south, making it easy to travel. The west city has strange dangers to rely on. If the two cities stand side by side and are well defended, the foundation of Jiangdong will be solid. Why fight in Chengde and Shouchun?

"

When Shan Ya heard this, he frowned even more, almost making the same argument as Deputy Xu!

But the Xu family is a wealthy family in Jurong, not to mention the Gu family. Their opinions must be listened to, otherwise the soldiers will not be able to raise money, food and supplies.

But Shanya was still a little unwilling, so he looked at Lu Wan.

"The Governor is waiting for news from the North Road?" Lu Wan asked.

Shan Ya was struck by what he said and nodded silently.

"Grand Governor, after fighting to this day, the ancestral soldiers are still indestructible, what about Shao's soldiers?" Lu Wan said: "If the navy can cut off the Huaihe River and leave Shao's soldiers alone, they may be able to watch for a while, but if they are unable to do so, it will not be as good as

Moved away the people of Chengde and retreated to

Hefei is a long-term solution. If the general wants to wait, he can, but he should not attack the city again. It is better to strengthen the fortress. Even if the ancestors' soldiers leave the city and even Shao's soldiers go south, they will welcome them with deep trenches and high fortresses, supplemented by naval ships.

, hold fast and retreat from the enemy."

Shan Xia pondered for a long time this time.

Everyone stopped urging and just waited quietly.

"I have made up my mind!" Shanya stopped and said, "Strengthen the fortress and water fortress as a defensive strategy.

Send other people to various places and move the people to Hefei. You will follow this order."

"As ordered." All the generals responded in unison.

Shanya is waiting for news from the north, but what's going on in the north?

On the sixth and seventh days of the lunar month, the Jin navy was working hard to pull out the wooden piles on the river north of Feikou and clear the channel.

That night, Yang Bao sent naval officers to the pontoon bridge and launched fire boats down the river, but to no avail.

Han Huang's and Tong Jian's armies were defeated by the proton army and Zuo Feilong's guardsmen. More than half of them were lost on both sides. The remaining soldiers were defeated and more than 2,000 people fled with the support of the navy.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the Jin army no longer attempted to send troops ashore, but continued to clear the waterway.

Their intention was obvious: to completely cut off the communication between the north and the south, so that the Liang army that had crossed the river would become a turtle in the urn, and the army would be defeated after running out of food.

Naturally, the news quickly spread to Zhang Shuo's army. By this time, he had arrived near Chengde and encountered the Prussian navy and land soldiers deployed on the perimeter.

Like Shanya, he also faces a choice.

If the main force of the Shanya tribe cannot be defeated quickly and the pontoon bridge to the north is destroyed by the Jin army, then we must carefully calculate how long the accumulated food and grass will be enough.
