Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Well, I will lead the naval force to set off now, and five thousand troops will go down the river to help Jiangxia. With my five thousand troops, Jiangxia will have no worries."
Liu Yi laughed: "Then it's all thanks to Brother Daogui."
While everyone was talking, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Liu Cui was seen running in, sweating profusely, holding a silk book in his hand, which looked like a Tang newspaper.
Liu Yi's face darkened: "Ah Cui, why are you so flustered? You are not calm at all."
Liu Cui rushed into the palace and said breathlessly: "No, it's not good, second brother, Huan, Huan Zhen..."
The expressions of the three people changed at the same time. He Wuji stood up and asked: "What happened to Huan Zhen? Did he counterattack Jiangling?"
Liu Cui took a deep breath, his face finally calmed down a little, and he shook his head and said: "No, Huan Zhen, Huan Zhen's entire army is heading towards Dacang, Jiangxia. They have arrived at Shashi."
Liu Yi laughed: "As expected, how could he dare to attack Jiangling at this time? Attacking Jiangxia is almost the only option. However, the land road is slow, the water road is fast, and the road rules, you can get there in half a day.
Jiangxia, just in case, let’s set off now.”
Liu Cui said anxiously: "No, brother, I want to say that there are Shashi, Shashi, and there are our troops all the way, all the way, intercepted, intercepted Huan Zhen."
Liu Yi's face changed drastically at this time, and he stood up from his commanding position: "What?! There are troops from our army in Shashi? This is impossible! In the land of Jingzhou, all the troops are under my control
Zhong, when did I send troops to Shashi?!"
Liu Daogui frowned, stepped forward and took the Tang newspaper from Liu Cui's hand, and read it quickly. While reading, he said: "It's Liu Huaisu's army, Jiangzhou soldiers and horses, joining Wei Shunzhi's Jiangxia garrison.
There were also Rabbit's former troops, a total of 15,000 elite troops, who marched day and night, starting from Jiangxia and directly went to Shashi to ambush. When Huan Zhen abandoned Jiangling and attacked Jiangxia, they suddenly appeared and blocked Huan Zhen's troops.
In front of him, force him to fight decisively!"
Liu Yi rushed forward, snatched the Daotang newspaper from Liu Daogui's hand, and read it. As he read, big beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his face looked as if he had drunk too much wine.
The redder became more and more popular, until finally, he couldn't help it anymore, tore the Dao Tang newspaper into pieces, threw it to the ground, and yelled: "What do you mean, are you here to take credit at this time? Liu Jingxuan, you are going too far.
!”
He Wuji frowned: "Xile, this should have nothing to do with Ah Shou. The commander this time is Liu Huaisu, not Ah Shou."
Liu Yi gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Liu Huaisu, as Liu Jingxuan's deputy general, has been guarding Jiangzhou. The newspaper said that they set out four days ago, secretly bypassing Jiangxia and heading to Shashi.
Even the troops brought by Wei Yongzhi to return to Yuzhou acted together with them, almost at the same time as our counterattack on Jiangling. I, the commander of the Western Expedition Army, knew nothing about such a major action. If Liu Jingxuan was not up to something, who would dare?
this way?!"
Liu Daogui shook his head: "Xile, calm down first. Since this Western Expedition, Ah Shou has asked you for instructions on everything. If he wanted to take credit, he would have come out long ago. And Ah Shou can't command the rabbit, so I guess
There is something hidden in this."
Liu Yi said bitterly: "It is useless to say this now. Huan Zhen has not run out of food yet and his fighting strength is still there. At this time, fighting him in Shashi is not the best choice. If it were me, even if I go forward,
We will also set up camp and defend, forcing Huan Zhen to attack. Ah Cui, you immediately give the order to Liu Huaisu to hang up his war-free card and not attack!"
Liu Cui shook his head: "Second brother, I'm afraid it's too late. In order to hide the ambush, Huaisu's troops did not set up a large camp. Instead, they lurked in the forest of Ma Tou Mountain near Shashi. They waited until Huan Zhen appeared and then suddenly killed him.
Come on, the newspaper here says that a decisive battle is imminent, so we must have set up a battle array and are waiting for Huan Zhen to attack."
Liu Yi stomped his feet angrily: "Damn it, if we lose this battle, I'm afraid the entire situation in Jingzhou will be reversed."
Liu Daogui curled up his lips: "In this case, what we can do now is to fully assist Huaisu. Most of Ah Shou's troops are veteran warriors who have followed the prison commander for many years, and most of them are fighting with Ah Shou in the Huaibei area.
We have lived and died together for many years, and our combat power is quite strong. This can be seen from some of the reinforcements sent to us by Ashou later. As for Rabbit and Shunzhi's troops, they are also brothers from the Cheetah Battalion who are good at attacking. Huan Zhen lost Jiangling and Jiuchuan.
, the army advanced and retreated, losing ground, and the troops were disengaged. There were tens of thousands of soldiers who fled along the way, and many subordinates would rather stay in Jiangling and surrender than follow him out of the city. It can be seen that his military morale has been lost, and as long as he is pregnant,
If Su can hold his ground, if Huan Zhen fails to attack twice, his army will be defeated!"
Liu Yi's expression softened slightly: "Having said that, Liu Huaisu came all the way to attack, but he was afraid that his mentality would be unbalanced and he would fall into Huan Zhen's plan and take the initiative to attack. This is how Lu Zongzhi lost last time!"
He Wuji smiled and said: "This place is only a hundred miles away from Shashi. If we set off now, we can still catch up with the battle. Xi Le, let Huaisu and Rabbit hold it in front. We will lead the army to fight from the rear and we will definitely defeat the enemy.
military!"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth, turned to one of the generals in the hall and said, "Where is Tang Xing?!"
A burly and upright man responded: "The cavalry commander Tang Xing is here. Commander, please give me the order!"
Liu Yi said solemnly: "Now you are leading two thousand cavalry to support Shashi. Remember, if Huan Zhen's army is dignified and the formation is stable, he will stand still and wave the flag and shout to strengthen our army's momentum. If Huan Zhen attacks our army across the board, then
Attack Huan Zhen's rear, kill the general and seize the flag!"
Tang Xing instinctively agreed, and suddenly thought of something: "Commander, Huan Zhen is a tiger general who is brave enough to win the three armies. With only my two thousand cavalry, I am going to kill the general and capture the flag, right...
"
Liu Yi said angrily: "Idiot, it's because Huan Zhen bravely leads the three armies, so if he attacks across the board, he will definitely charge into the formation himself. If he is not in the formation, then the only ones left behind will be the old, the weak and the baggage. You can't defeat him."
Huan Zhen, can't you still deal with his remaining troops? You have been fighting with me for so many years, when have you ever seen me make you suffer and die?!"
Tang Xing woke up from his dream and laughed: "Thank you, Brother Xile, for giving me this opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I will go now!"
With that said, he turned around and ran out of the house in a hurry.
Liu Yi's face regained his composure, he sat back in command, and said in a deep voice: "Wuji, Daogui, each of you will return to your own army immediately. Within an hour, gather at Ximen. Liu Zunkao's three thousand troops will be stationed in Jiangling City. The army will be stationed in Jiangling City."
Thirty thousand, all attack, today is the last day of the Huan family in Jingzhou!"
He Wuji and Liu Daogui looked at each other, smiled, and performed military salutes: "Yes!"
