The rapid attack failed and the strong attack was not strong. Yun Zhao's thousands of elite cavalry spied on one side. Xiangshui Town was like a thorn ball standing in front. Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp was accelerating its advance toward it. On the other side, Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp was constantly moving. For a while, it was impossible to find out its direction. For a moment, Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu suddenly discovered that they were in a dilemma. They were about to become sandwich cakes.

"We must take down Xiangshui Town, otherwise when Meng Yao's thief army comes up, we will be attacked from both sides. Even if there are not many enemies in Xiangshui Town, they will be a confidant at that time." Zhao Pu harshly attacked Huang Xuanwu.

Zhao and Huang were in a dilemma, and at this time Lou Xiang in Liyang was also facing a choice. In Liyang, Lou Xiang could see more clearly than Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu.

"Mr. She, what should I do now?" Lou Xiang said in pain.

She Wenzhuang looked at Lou Xiang, "Brother Lou, the current situation is very clear. Yun Zhao is going to fight the coalition forces in Xiangshui Town. What do you think Zhao Wei and Huang Xuanwu will have a chance of winning?"

"Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp is the first field battle camp among the Zhengbei Army. The entire battalion has 30,000 troops, and Wang Qiang's fourth battalion has more than 20,000 troops. In addition, Yun Zhao's personal guard cavalry battalion, in terms of force, the Zhengbei Army has surpassed Zhao and Huang, and the combat efficiency of the army is incomparable. This battle has not yet been fought, and the ending has been decided." Lou Xiang said.

"Yes, Zhao and Huang will definitely lose." She Wenzhuang said: "Brother Lou, since you have seen this result, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do? Either stay in Liyang and stay in motion, or retreat to Luzhou City, or go to rescue Zhao and Huang. Brother She helped me plan, which one is better?"

She Wenzhuang laughed: "Brother Lou, let me plan for you, then would you listen to me?"

Lou Xiang looked at She Wenzhuang unexpectedly, "Brother She, what does this mean?"

"Let's talk about your three roads, guarding Liyang. If Xiangshui Town is defeated, can Liyang defend it? Can't defend it. Before Zhao and Huang fail, retreat to Luzhou. Will Lord Yang, who is in Luzhou City, let you go? You retreat before the battle, and cause friendly troops to be in an unexpected place! Please forgive me for your fault. If you move towards Xiangshui Town, Wang Qiang's central army will follow, and maybe it will attract some of Hu Zehua's army. Judging from Hu Zehua's movements, he is preparing to attack Luzhou City. Yun Zhao did not even see the coalition forces of Zhao Huang and others. Even Hu Zehua's Panshi Battalion was not ready to use, but once you go, Hu Zehua will definitely follow him and siege him!" She Wenzhuang analyzed.

"Fighting the pros and cons, it seems that you can only retreat to Luzhou City. I think Yang Zhizhou can understand my painstaking efforts." Lou Xiang said slowly. "Preventing Luzhou City to the death may still have a chance of victory."

She Wenzhuang shook her head. "Brother Lou, I'm blunt, if Yun Zhao annihilated Zhao Huang and the others, Sun Chuanliang would definitely lead the army away. At that time, Luzhou would only have Brother Lou, a built-in army. Where would Brother Lou have the chance to win?"

"Brother She analyzed that I, Lou, have only one way to die?" Lou Xiang was unhappy.

She Wenzhuang laughed, "Brother Lou is a little worried. Thinking about the time when the Sima family surrendered to the Mongolians, I, She, was a counselor of his family, and had nowhere to stay. It was Brother Lou who took me in for years. Over the years, She has eaten and drunk for free and used for free in Brother Lou's mansion. I feel really ashamed."

"What are you doing when I say these things at these times? I regard you as a friend. I will naturally help you, and I can't say these things!" Lou Xiang shook his head and said.

"For you, it's a labor of raising hands, and for me, it's a kind of life!" She Wenzhuang's voice became solemn, "Brother Lou, when I came from Yunzhao crossing the river and attacked Luzhou, I began to plan a smooth road for you, Brother Lou."

Lou Xiang was shocked, "Brother She, what does this mean?"

She Wenzhuang paced back and forth for a few steps, turned around and looked at Lou Xiang, "Brother Lou, you are in Luzhou, and you are just a pawn in front of Yang Hongfa. Life and death are in his hands. Therefore, from the time you recommend me to his position, my plan has begun to be implemented. Every step before was for you. Today, the conditions have finally matured. From then on, the general will become a person with heavy troops who can influence the overall situation."

"I don't understand what you mean!" Lou Xiang shook his head.

"Brother Lou, lead the 30,000 troops of Li Yang, and left from Luzhou to Tongzhou." She Wenzhuang stared at Lou Xiang's eyes. "Luzhou must not be able to defend it. Instead of making a lot of money here in Luzhou, it would be better for a hero to cut off his arm and leave Luzhou."

Lou Xiang was shocked and frightened, and his hair stood up, "You are crazy. If this happens, will the court punish me for death? What else do you say about the road to peace? Brother She, don't harm me."

"Brother Lou, can't you see the current situation? Who dares to punish you? The court? Is it still called the court now? Don't you see the chaos now? Allow aristocratic families to form private troops, armed everywhere, and soldiers are the kings. The world is already in chaos. All the troops with combat power in the court were held by the Northern Army, and they were unable to shock the small people. Is the internal struggle between the top officials of the court so terrifying? The Suihua Rebellion is still unable to resolve it, which is a clear proof."

Lou Xiang remained silent.

"Yun Zhao winds swept over the remaining clouds, swallowing Luzhou, and heading towards Tongzhou. At this time, if you enter Tongzhou with 30,000 troops in your hand, Xiao Zhong is afraid that he will welcome you with both hands and feet. With the lessons of Luzhou, Xiao Zhong will inevitably be able to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, defend the cities and cities in various places to compete with Yun Zhao, so that he will have some chance of winning." She Wenzhuang smiled.

"Will the Chief Supervisor let me go?" Lou Xiang said in confusion.

She Wenzhuang smiled coldly, "Brother Lou, let alone you have always had a good relationship with the Prime Minister. Secondly, you have preserved 30,000 military strength. The Prime Minister will only thank you. The court now cannot provide a strong army. I think the Prime Minister's intention is to exchange space for time. When it comes to a certain time, it is also possible to move the capital to avoid the fierce battle of the Northern Army. When you arrive in Tongzhou, the Prime Minister may transfer you to Weizhou or guard Shangjing?"

Lou Xiang was excited, "Is this possible?"

"Why not, as long as it is properly raised, everything is possible."

Lou Xiang was already moved. As She Wenzhuang said, he really wanted to rise to the top.

"Brother Lou, after we retreat to Tongzhou, we should try our best to control our strength and strive to have greater power. At that time, Brother Lou will have the wind and rain." She Wenzhuang laughed and said, "The mountains of materials, military supplies, and rewards that have accumulated in Liyang Mansion are the capital for the general to make a fortune."

"If I go, Luzhou will collapse!" Lou Xiang sighed.

"Men and wife are birds in the same forest. When the disaster comes, they fly away. This is the case with their husband and wife, let alone others!" She Wenzhuang sneered: "In the troubled times, everyone should take care of each other! Those who plan first live, and those who do not plan die! Those coalition forces of the aristocratic families are arrogant and think they are well-equipped and well-trained, so they want to leave the signs of separation from the Zhengbei Army in the field. They really don't know how to write the word "death"? The Zhengbei Army has been in the northern land for ten years and fought with the Mongolian army for ten years. That army was not crawling out from the blood and fire. Now the army is at a fierce battle. Congliang fights Quan Yifeng in the Yanchi Lake. It's still unbearable. With the ability of Congliang's guards, it's still true. These private troops of these aristocratic families deserve to die! But the only function they have come to the river is to help you, general, which is also a merit. Brother She, you can burn a few incense sticks for them in the future!"

Lou Xiang laughed and said, "Brother She is still so harsh when he speaks."

"If Brother Lou, please pay attention, then we have to plan how to leave. The choice of time is extremely important. We must start the battle of Xiangshui Town and Hu Zehuaqi enters the surroundings of Luzhou City before we can leave."

"My family is still in Luzhou City?" Lou Xiang said: "They have to be removed first, otherwise Yang Hongfa will be angry and will inevitably take his anger on them."

"Don't worry, before I came, I had persuaded Yang Zhizhou to send all his family members, Brother Lou, and some senior officials and generals in Luzhou City to send away all the families. With Brother Lou, your personal soldiers guarding your family, it will be safe. I have already ordered your housekeeper alone. When he arrived in Tongzhou, he knew what to do!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll do it. Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Luzhou has nothing to nostalgia. Brother She doesn't have to go back, so he stays in our army to plan this for me."

"Of course!" She Wenzhuang smiled.

In Xiangshui Town, the crazy attack of Zhao and Huang had already caused Zeng Ke and Shangguan Biao to lose all the first and second lines of defense, but the smaller the defense line, the difficulty of the opponent's attack increased exponentially. When the entire defense line retreated into Xiangshui Town, it was like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. No matter how Zhao and Huang motivated morale and offered a heavy reward, the defense line of the Northern Army remained unmoved. At this time, Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp was only dozens of miles away from Xiangshui Town, and the vanguard had arrived in Xiangshui Town. Zhao and Huang could only stop the attack helplessly and turn to arrange a plan to face Meng Yao. Compared with Meng Yao's tens of thousands of troops, Xiangshui Town could only be regarded as a small thorn at this time. Although the thorn was on the back, it was extremely uncomfortable, but it was not fatal.

While arranging the enemy, he sent envoys to Liyang, asking Lou Xiang to set up a large army to Xiangshui Town and fight to the death with the Northern Army. However, the two of them did not know that Lou Xiang was ready to leave at this time. Moreover, once Lou Xiang left, Wang Qiang's central army would inevitably press towards Xiangshui Town. Zhao Huang, who was kept in the dark, had already stepped out of the cliff with one foot.

In mid-November, Meng Yao's main force arrived in Xiangshui Town, and 30,000 troops gathered with Yun Zhao. At this time, nearly 100,000 troops from both sides were gathered in a small area of ​​Xiangshui Town.

The battle flag was flying, the sergeant drum shook the sky, Yun Zhao stood under the central army, looked at the coalition forces of the aristocratic families opposite, and laughed and said to Meng Yao: "Start!"

Ding Qiu smiled and put on the devil's mask, thrust the spear in his hand, and the crowd came out, and the war horses passed by the neat military formation.

"Strike the Northern Army!" Ding Qiu shouted loudly.
