Chapter 1250 Plan ahead
Judging from the map, the front lines of Jiuchang Road and Nansidao have been carved out by the Yellow Shirt Army.
The middle section of the nearly hundred-mile-long battlefront was broken through by the Yellow Shirt Army, while parts of the city on the left and right wings were still firmly in the hands of Fifth Xinrou.
According to the battle reports from the front line, the two sides were engaged in fierce battles around the city on the left and right wings.
Xue Tian pointed to the map sand table and said:
"If Wu Xinrou and Zhao Zhongtian remain silent, after the rebels occupy the entire Shouyan Road, they can send their troops to the west and attack Nansi Road from both sides.
Even if this Fifth Heart Rou is good at fighting, he might not be able to withstand more than 200,000 rebels pressing down on him, right?"
The current situation is that Zhao Zhongtian's remaining troops have almost no combat effectiveness, and Wu Xinrou estimates that he only has over a hundred thousand troops.
These 100,000 people not only have to face the 100,000 people from Jiuchang Road, but also have to guard against Chen Tiansheng's 100,000 troops to the east.
Looking at this situation alone, the best choice for the army is to abandon the entire Nansi Road, otherwise there is the risk of the entire army being annihilated.
Chu Yucheng joked: "If it were Nangong Yu or Yu Wen Chenghua who led the troops, they would have run away long ago."
Zhuge smiled confusedly and said: "If Nansi Road is abandoned again, the rebels will hold the territory of the four roads, and then they will sweep across the south of the Yangtze River with a great victory, and half of the country will be gone.
The imperial court will never allow such a scene to occur."
"I wonder how the fifth Xinrou will choose." Chu Yucheng murmured softly.
Chen Yue squinted his eyes and looked at the map. He didn't believe that Fifth Xinrou would keep losing battles.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, Chen Yue's eyes lit up, he patted the table and said:
"I see!"
This loud shout startled everyone else, and Chu Yucheng asked in astonishment: "What?"
Chenyue pointed to the protruding part on the battle line and said: "This gap is Wu Xinrou's deliberate attempt to lure the enemy!
Even if the infantry of the Southern Xinjiang Army are at a disadvantage, there is absolutely no problem in holding on to the city, and the rebels should not open a gap in the middle.
Just like the east and west wings, the rebels were still as solid as a mountain after attacking four or five isolated cities for half a month. Why were they defeated so quickly in the middle?
The only possibility is that Wu Xinrou wants to let the rebels in, cut them into two sections from the middle, surround the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the protrusion on Nansi Road, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
Everyone looked at Chen Yue blankly, thinking rapidly in their minds.
After a while, Chu Yucheng said hesitantly:
"It's not very likely, right? If Wu Xinrou wants to kill the 60,000 to 70,000 people who invaded Nansidao, he must at least concentrate all his troops. Then the other side will be completely empty.
At that time, Chen Tiansheng led his troops to attack Nansi Road from the east, and the encirclement and annihilation battle reached a stalemate. The hundreds of thousands of people in Fifth Xinrou's hands could not escape even if they had wings.
Does he dare?"
The consequence of Zhao Zhongtian's defeat is that now the east and south sides of Nansi Road are all exposed to the noses of the rebels.
No matter how you look at it, Wu Xinrou's situation is already precarious.
"Perhaps he has some way to deal with Chen Tiansheng's 100,000 troops~" Chen Yue pursed his lips and said.
Although Chenyue didn't know what Wu Xinrou had up his sleeve, he had a vague feeling that Wu Xinrou must have some backup plans.
"Is Your Majesty so sure that Fifth Heart Rou can defeat the rebels?"
Zhuge asked confusedly with interest.
"Although this war has shaken the foundation of our dynasty, it will not cause the dynasty to collapse." Chen Yue said softly:
"Wherever the Yellow Shirt Army went, as long as it was severely affected by the disaster, followers gathered everywhere. However, there were too few responders in a slightly affluent place, so their development momentum could only stop here~
Judging from the previous situation when Fifth Heart Rouge played against South Vietnam, he did not use his full strength."
Zhuge nodded in confusion. The current Zhou Dynasty is like a centipede that is dead but not stiff, always hanging on to its last breath.
But this war was like the straw that broke the camel's back. This war completely wiped out the national treasury.
Chen Yue clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Let us just watch. In the next few months, a war that will change the situation of the war will definitely break out in Jiangnan!"
Several people looked at each other and smiled: "Then we will wait and see!"
…
In Prince Liang's Mansion, Chenyue was sitting alone on a chair, with a map of Jiangnan hanging in front of him.
Chen Yue, who frowned slightly, didn't know what he was thinking.
"Dong dong~"
After a while, there was a slight knock on the door, and Huangfu Yanling, dressed in a green robe, walked in and whispered:
"Your Majesty~"
"Come on, take a seat." Chen Yue waved his hand casually.
Huangfu Yanling, who was sitting upright, asked, "I wonder what the prince has to tell you when he summons his ministers?"
Chenyue asked softly: "How was the investigation on the traitor you mentioned last time?"
Ever since the last time Huangfu Yanling suspected that there was something wrong with the garrison in Liangzhou City, Chenyue had been a little worried.
"There is no progress yet."
Huangfu Yanling gave a wry smile: "We have checked everyone who can, and we really can't figure out where the news leaked from.
Of course, it’s not necessarily that there’s something wrong with the garrison, it could just be a coincidence, or there may be some details that we haven’t considered.”
"Anthracene~"
Chen Yue hummed: "Just give me some snacks on this matter, don't make a big fuss about it."
"No~" Huangfu Yanling bowed and shouted in response.
"I have come to see you this time and there is another thing that you need to do." Chenyue turned to look at Huangfu Yanling.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Chenyue stood up, pointed to the location of Qingzhou on the map and said:
"It won't be long before the Xue family will officially move north to Liang.
As soon as the news comes out, there will definitely be an uproar in the official circles."
Huangfu Yanling nodded in agreement: "Once they move north, the Xue family will undoubtedly make their position clear and will be completely tied to Prince Liang's palace, which will inevitably arouse the fear of many people."
"That's right~"
Chenyue sighed softly: "I am worried that some people will jump over the wall and use force to prevent the Xue family from moving north."
"Your Majesty, you mean Blood Drops? Or Longxi?" Huangfu Yanling understood.
"Exactly." Chenyue said solemnly:
"A Xue family who turns to Prince Liang's Mansion will make everyone fear them, and they will do whatever it takes.
The south of the Yangtze River is too far away and I, the Liangjun cavalry, can't reach there, so I have to rely on you to ask Tiansi."
Huangfu Yanling understood instantly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, from now on I, Wentiansi, will dispatch secret guards to secretly sneak into the land south of the Yangtze River to protect the safety of the Xue family."

"I'm afraid we don't have enough secret guards." Chenyue said calmly:
"I have asked Bai Xuewei to mobilize 500 elites, all of whom will be dispatched by You Tiansi. In the next two months, we will sneak into Jiangnan in batches!
Before the Xue family takes action, you must stay dormant and avoid being noticed.
Remember, Mr. Xue’s safety is the top priority!”
The safety of the Xue family is too important. In order to allow the Xue family to enter Liangdi safely, Chenyue even mobilized the border troops. It can be said that they attach great importance to it.
