As soon as Wang Gui knew that Lin Jianyue's counterattack against the Central Plains began, he realized that he could no longer wait and see, otherwise his position in Lin Jianyue's heart would decline sharply.

It is naturally impossible to seal Jinghu Road or Huainan West Road to Lin Jianyue. The emperor who knew how to play women in one day also knew that there was a big problem. Isn’t that equivalent to giving Jiangshan to Lin Jianyue? Is it like sending himself under Lin Jianyue’s knife?

Wang Gui needs to do one thing now to complete the West Jing Road for Lin Jianyue.

There are less than 10,000 troops stationed in Xiangyang, and only 3,000 naval forces are only 3,000 to 4,000, but strategic position is the most important.

Once Lin Jianyue occupied Xiangyang, there would be no military convenience for the time being, and there would be a big economic leap. As the transportation center, it would lead to the south of the Bashu River and cross the Han River directly down the Yangtze River. All gentry and businessmen from all over the country had to deal with Lin Jianyue.

What does Lin Jianyue need most now? It is money and resources.

The current defensive envoy in Xiangyang is the person recommended by Wang Gui, but he is still unfaithful. Wang Gui decided to promote him and transfer him to Huainan East Road to compete with the Hu people.

"Please Wang, you are doing this to flatter Lin Jianyue! Where are you putting the interests of the court? Where are the priests?"

Qi Yunji roared in the court.

Wang Gui calmly said, "If it weren't for Qi Xiang's disagreement, there would be no need to talk about these trivial matters in front of the saint. Lin Jianyue's army attacked the northwest road of Jingxi was the first counterattack of the Central Plains in more than ten years. If it was not supported, he

Who will work hard for the court in the future? Xiangyang belongs to the southwest route of Jingxi, and there are only so many troops. Lin Jianyue wants to take it easily, and not taking it is just a sign of Lin Jianyue's loyalty. The court follows the flow as a reward method, which will surely make other vassal states excited and recover

There is great potential in the Central Plains."

Qi Yunji still disagreed: "Once Lin Jianyue gets it, its power will inevitably expand rapidly. How can the court handle itself?"

Wang Gui sneered: "Will he not take it by himself if he doesn't give it to Lin Jianyue? There has been news that Long Jiejun had long wanted to capture Xiangyang by himself, but was stopped by Lin Jianyue. After this war, even Lin Jianyue suppressed him.

If you don’t stay, will Qi Xiang know? Once you have a broken-up with the court, what consequences will you think of? In this way, as long as Qi Xiang is willing to defend Xiangyang, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Qi Yunji's face turned pale and there was nothing to say.

The emperor was impatient and said to Qi Yunji: "Qi Aiqing, it's been a long time since he was old. The beauty is still waiting for me to eat her grapes. Is it OK? Is Xiangyang big or not close? If it's not big or not close, it's OK.

That's it!"

Qi Yunji sighed in his heart, saying nothing to the emperor.

The Hu people in Caizhou had more than 30,000 troops, and there were more than 20,000 people in the single city. Qu Shangqun naturally could not conquer it, but he occupied Qushan, Xinyang, Zhenyang and other counties in the southwest. The troops stationed in Qushan were watching closely.

Caizhou did not attack. The troops on both sides were similar, and the Hu people had less than 8,000 cavalry, so they did not dare to act rashly. Once there was a mistake, Caizhou would be gone.

Qu Shangqu already knew that he would leave the Second Army after this war. Since the Li family didn't care, he didn't care even more. He was already thinking about how to manage the naval army that was so far away from the north and south of the Yellow River and Han River. How large should it be?

.The independent naval admiral was at a higher position, just in his wish, and he could gradually get rid of the control of the Li family.

As soon as the news of Luoyang being captured by Liu Jiahao came, Qu Shangqun was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the scouts to strengthen the investigation in Caizhou and prepare to make another contribution on the evacuation of the Caizhou defenders.

Unfortunately, Su Hedai was moving faster. The defenders of Caizhou ran towards Yancheng three days ago. Not to mention the run, they also robbed in Caizhou, making Qu Shangqun's idea of ​​making contributions fail.

Qu Shangqu was very disappointed. He had never made any decent contributions since joining the Long Jie Army, and his position in Lin Jianyue's heart will not be good in the future.

Now more than 40,000 Hu troops have gathered in Yancheng, with cavalry of more than 20,000. With the remaining forces of the Second Army, even if they have changed from naval troops to infantry, they are only more than 20,000. I dare not leave the city at will to pursue them.

OK, it is possible that the entire army will be destroyed.

While hesitating, Li Shangxin and Li Lizheng took the Second Army out to escort more than 10,000 people from the logistics troops to Caizhou to find him. Qu Shangqun was overjoyed and now he had some confidence to pursue the fleeing Hu Jun.

Unexpectedly, Li Shangxin took out Lin Jianyue's military order and appointed Qu Shangqun as the governor of the Longjie Army Naval Army and the defensive censor of Xiangyang, as well as the title of General Guide, a third-ranked general who was granted by the imperial court, and ordered Qu Shangqun to immediately lead the Second Army Water

The army and warships went to Xiangyang to hand over the defense of Xiangyang Prefecture with the court.

Qu Shangqu said in confusion: "The court gave us Xiangyang Prefecture like this? When did you become so generous?" But he didn't feel much about the so-called General Guide name, it was just a false reputation.

Li Shangxin smiled and said, "It is different from the past. With the current power of Long Jie Army and its reputation in the world, it is natural to force Xiangyang. With Wang Gui's help, how dare the court refuse to give it? He had to go with the flow.

.I am also the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture. I will go with you. You will immediately hand over the affairs of the Second Army with General Wang Lizheng and strive to set out tomorrow."

Qu Shangqu immediately became excited: "What are the requirements for the navy? Luoyang is also in our hands. When will I go to Luoyang to build the Yellow River naval army?"

"No rush for the time being, Jishuai said he had to eat one bite at a time. He asked you to expand the navy army to more than 30,000 in Xiangyang first, select the deputy general, and then divide the backbone forces to go to the Yellow River to form the navy army."

Qu Shangqu was full of confidence and now he was very good at making great progress. With Xiangyang in hand and the Li family's assistance, he would not be short of money and resources. Li Shangxin went there to do this.

There was a sound of smashing things from the bedroom of King Khan from Dadu. Li Chongshan's concubines and palace maids dared not approach him. Only after Dun Wuyunqige entered, he could barely comfort him.

Li Chongshan was both disappointed and hurt. Su Hedai was his cavalry teacher. He basically watched him grow up and had a very different relationship. As a famous general in the world, he was defeated by Lin Jianyue, who was in his early twenties. Li Chongshan couldn't figure it out.

Su Hedai died after being cut off the queen, but he still brought the main force back safely. Li Chongshan was both grateful and sad. Even with the great power, how many famous generals like Su Hedai were there? He just kept murmuring: "Uncle Su Hedai

Ah! Even if I fail, how could I really blame you? Why didn’t you come back?"

After reading Su Hedai's letter repeatedly, Li Chongshan finally calmed down. As the ruler of the ten thousand miles of territory, he would not be influenced by simple love, hate, and love.

Lin Jianyue's battle can be said to be far-sighted. He has been planning for at least one year, and he is much younger than himself. Li Chongshan's competitive spirit has also come to his mind. It just so happened that more than 200,000 Dameng had gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The elite cavalry, he decided to go to Kaifeng to meet the young hero in person next year.
