The war in Jiangnan in the Great Zhou Dynasty resumed after the fifth Xinrou army gathered together, and the front line of Jiuchang Road became the focus of competition between the two sides.

The officers and soldiers and the yellow shirt troops fought back and forth. Today you attack my city, and tomorrow I will attack yours. No one is willing to be outdone.

Although Wu Xinrou is a master at using his troops, the yellow-shirted army has a large number of soldiers and an advantage in numbers, so it has maintained an anxious situation since the beginning of the war.

The situation was much worse for Zhao Zhongtian. Since the defeat, he had been surrounded in Shouchun and was trapped in the isolated city. He had to deal with the rebel siege with fear every day.

On the border of Jiuchang Road, the army camp.

Fifth Heart, dressed in green clothes, sat softly and casually flipped through the military report that had just been delivered today. He never wore armor in the military camp, and rarely even wore it in government offices. He was quite unique.

The frontline coach did not seem to be bothered by the war. Even though there had been little progress in the frontline war for a month, there was no unhappy expression on his face.

After a while, Ruan Zhixiong walked into the tent quietly, bowed and said:

"Sir, there is a secret report from the front line. Ling Gong and Wu Zhiyong are coming towards Jiuchang Road with an army of 100,000 people."

"Haha, it finally moved. It was quite hard for me to wait." Wu Xinrou chuckled softly and closed the military newspaper in her hand.

Previously, Ling Gong, Wu Zhiyong and others led more than 100,000 troops to Tai'an Road to attack Zhao Zhongtian, and then defeated Zhao Zhongtian and invaded Shouyan Road. Now they are finally back.

That Ling Gong has always regarded Wu Xinrou as a serious concern. Even though Jiuchang Dao has been fighting well in the past month, he still wants to come to the front line in person to prevent Wu Xinrou from using any conspiracy.

"Now Qin Xiaotian should be the only one stationed in Shouyan Road with 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest are withdrawing in batches." Ruan Zhixiong said softly.

"Is Dugu Nan ready?"

"Fifteen thousand elite cavalry have secretly arrived at the front line and can break into Tai'an Road at any time!"

"Then send a message to Dugu Nan, everything will go according to plan." Fifth Xinrou smiled slightly.

"promise!"

Ruan Zhixiong shouted in response, and then asked: "What about the Shouyan Road side? Mr. Zhao seems to have been besieged in the city for several days."

"Don't you have 30,000 troops ready in your hand?" Wu Xinrou smiled and said, "Just send them to help Mr. Zhao relieve the siege. With a group of defeated soldiers, he has been holding on to the isolated city for almost a month, and it is difficult for him~

If I don’t help at all, I won’t be able to justify our future encounters.”

"promise!"

…

At the junction of Tai'an Road and Jiuchang Road, a large army is marching, and the flags with the word "Huai" all over the mountains and plains are very majestic.

Yes, these are the armies under King Huai Chen Tiansheng, and there are also generals and banners of Wu Zhiyong in the army.

Wu Zhiyong and Ling Gong swayed forward on horseback, hearing the loud shouts of the soldiers and captains:

"Hurry up and don't fall behind!"

"You, move faster, don't be too dizzy."

"The wheel of the car is stuck in a dent, please come and help!"

…

One hundred thousand troops rushed to Jiuchang Road in batches, and now the marching team led by the two men numbered 50,000, and they were fierce.

Wu Zhiyong glanced at the long marching team and muttered: "Mr. Ling, is that Fifth Heart Rou really so scary? In my opinion, the defenders of Jiuchang Road can hold on for a long time, but Shouchun will be able to break through it soon.

Wouldn't it be better for us to capture Shouchun, cut off that Zhao Zhongtian's head, and then return to the division for rescue?"

In fact, Wu Zhiyong was still a little dissatisfied. After all, after surrounding Shouchun for a month, Zhao Zhongtian's troops suffered heavy casualties. In his opinion, the city could only be broken down in a matter of seconds.

But at this moment, Ling Gong ordered to return to Jiuchang Road. All the previous hard work in attacking the city was in vain, but he could not disobey the military order.

"Zhiyong, we must not underestimate this young Minister of War."

Ling Gong persuaded with sincerity: "His military tactics are so unpredictable that even I can't figure out his methods. This time, he has not made any progress in attacking Jiuchang Road for a month. It is not in line with common sense. He must be planning something."

.

Jiuchang Road is the only barrier to Huaijiang Road. There is no room for failure. We can't take this risk. You have seen the powerful soldiers and horses on Nanjiang Road. They are the thorn in your side.

As for Zhao Zhongtian, although he is somewhat capable as a general, he is still far behind compared to Fifth Xinrou. His life will be taken by us sooner or later."

Wu Zhiyong scratched his head: "Sir, if you think so, then why don't we just bring Qin Xiaotian back with us? Why do we keep 50,000 of them in Shouyan Road?"

"Hmph, that Huang Ji on Tai'an Road is not a good guy. Xiaotian's staying there will scare him. If we retreat, won't he be able to occupy Shouyan Road in vain? We have been fighting for months, but we can't give him anything.

Want to make a wedding dress?" Ling Gong snorted coldly.

Wu Zhiyong narrowed his eyes. Now he understood that Qin Xiaotian's role was actually to monitor Huang Ji and attack Shouchun by the way. It would be better if he captured it. It didn't matter if he couldn't capture it. Anyway, he could keep an eye on this army horse.

The spring breeze blew on their faces, which was very refreshing. Not long after they walked out, Wu Zhiyong suddenly slapped his forehead:

"Mr. Ling, I suddenly thought that Qin Xiaotian might be in danger!"

"Haha~"

Before Wu Zhiyong could speak, Ling Gong smiled slightly: "Are you trying to say that the army may be using a trick to trick us into rescuing Jiuchang Road, and then they will mobilize troops to Shouyan Road to besiege Xiaotian's troops?"

Wu Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Ling Gong to have guessed what he was thinking.

"Since you knew this was a possibility, why didn't you leave any backup plan to deal with it?" Wu Zhiyong asked puzzledly.

Ling Gong turned to look at Wu Zhiyong and said: "Xiaotian has 50,000 elite soldiers, and Yanzhou City also has enough food and grass for the army for half a year. If you want to eat Xiaotian, how many people must the army send? One hundred thousand?"

One hundred and fifty thousand?"

Wu Zhiyong looked confused, he didn't know what Ling Gong meant.

Ling Gong slightly stroked his sleeves: "If Fifth Xinrou really sends troops to Shouyan Road, then it is exactly what I want!

If they wanted to kill Xiaotian quickly, they would have to use at least 100,000 troops, and that was without considering Huang Ji.

As soon as Wu Xinrou's officers and soldiers fall into a siege, we will send our entire army northward to capture Nansi Road! How can the officers and soldiers have the intention to besiege Qin Xiaotian by then?

Maybe if we are lucky, we can behead Fifth Xinrou first!"

It turned out that this was Ling Gong's real plan, to deliberately create a situation where Qin Xiaotian's army would go deep alone, to trick the officers and soldiers into encircling them, and then he would attack the rear of the officers and soldiers.

"So that's it~"

Wu Zhiyong sighed: "Mr.'s plan is far-reaching. Zhiyong feels inferior."

"Haha~"

Ling Gong smiled: "Okay, general, hurry up and urge the soldiers to move forward. We will feel more at ease if we get to the front line of Jiuchang Road as soon as possible."

"promise!"
