"What is this Fan Chang doing?!" A middle-aged general in full body armor slapped the letter on the table.
Eight feet tall, extremely burly, with eyes like sharp swords, he was none other than Fan Yi, the governor of Jingzhou in Nanchen. This Nanchen Chongchen frowned and his hands trembled slightly, not sure if it was because of anger or disappointment.
The other generals and staff in the meeting hall subconsciously held their breath. Most of them had been with Fan Yi for a long time, and some of them were even Fan Yi's personal generals who were led by Fan Yi. However,
After following Fan Yi for so long, they had rarely seen their governor become so angry.
In particular, Fan Chang is a very stable one among Fan Yi's nephews. Fan Yi praised him very much in the past, but I don't know what trouble Fan Chang has caused today.
Of course, what makes the generals even more uneasy is that most of their family members are in the public security, Songzi and other places. Now that there is a problem with the public security, it will make them worried about their family members.
Fan Yi slowly stood up, his eyes swept over all the generals in the hall, and then fell on the map. On this map, which detailed the battle situation from Yidu to Jiangling, Fan Yi's scouts were clearly marked.
Every encounter with the enemy.
Facts have shown that Xiliang is indeed shrinking its troops these days, and no Xiliang scouts can even be seen within a thirty-mile radius of Yidu.
It seemed that he really couldn't sit still on the Diaoyutai. Fan Yi shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect that Fan Chang was so cowardly and incompetent. He was mistaken before. But thinking about it, Fan Chang couldn't be blamed for this.
There were too few people for him, and even if Fan Chang was a tough guy, he would inevitably be forced to open the granary door.
Once there is a conflict, or even death or injury, it will be even harder to conceal the matter. When Chen Xu pursues the investigation, the Fan family will probably be wiped out.
At least we haven't reached the dead end yet. Fan Yi gently tapped the palm of his hand. He didn't know what Xiao Mohe was thinking at this moment, but he knew that he had to take some action. After all, it was his own.
The handle falls into other people's hands.
Everyone's tacit understanding needs to be maintained by taking some measures. Whether it's Xiao Mohe or the mighty electric general Pei Zilie whom I didn't pay attention to before, it seems that they are not easy characters to deal with now. Now that they have come to this point,
Fan Yi had no other choice.
"This Jiangling City is small or big. I wonder if this Xiao Mohe can leave a mouthful of soup for someone?" Fan Yi murmured a few words to himself, then turned around suddenly, "
All generals obey the order!"
The generals in the lobby, whose eyes could not leave Fan Yi for a moment, responded loudly.
————————————
Lush grass swayed in the river wind. Among the grass, there was almost no trace of the road that had not been traveled by large groups of people for many years - the surrounding dense grass was enough to block everyone's sight.
The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer, and groups of people were running forward in waist-deep grass.
"Hurry, everyone, keep up!" Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to grab the horse's reins and shouted loudly.
At this time, Li Xingchen also rode forward from behind, looked up at the sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "The sun is already in the west, and it is estimated that it will get dark in less than two hours. We must go before it gets dark.
Rush to the outside of Wangbei Village."
"How far is it?" Xiao Shilian turned around and asked, speaking concisely and to the point.
Li Ping beside Li Xinchen hurriedly stretched out his hand to unfold the map, while Li Xinchen looked around, squinted his eyes, turned to the map, and pointed with his hand: "The river beaches around here are all grass, there is no hillside, how can you tell?
But I estimate that according to the way we are going, it should be about the same in the evening."
"Are we going to cross the river today?" Xiao Shilian asked immediately, obviously with high fighting spirit.
Wangbei Village is a not very big camp. It is set up on the riverside. Its purpose is self-evident, which is to monitor the movements on the other side. Wangbei Village is located in the south of Songzi City, and Songzi City is in the south of Jingzhou.
At the forefront, to the northwest is Zhangchuan County in Xiliang, and to the southwest is Jiangling.
Although Wangbei Village is only marked with a small symbol on the map, it is the closest camp to Jiangling City in Nanchen. It can really be said that it is across the river from Jiangling City.
Therefore, as long as Li Xingchen and others have this condition, it is not impossible to cross the river directly at night after arriving at Wangbei Village.
"Brothers are too tired, and they are blind and do not know the situation on the other side. If we act rashly at this time, we may suffer big losses." Li Xingchen said after careful consideration, "So it is best to wait until we can find out the situation clearly at dawn tomorrow morning.
.”
Xiao Shilian didn't insist too much. It would be unrealistic to attack Jiangling City with three thousand troops. It's not that Xiao Shilian didn't have the courage. If he was given three thousand men, he would really dare to attack Jiangling, but he had to consider the feasibility.
sex.
After all, what is needed now is victory rather than simple sacrifice.
"Let's go, let's continue..." Li Xingchen was about to move, but the team in front paused for a moment, and then people moved to both sides of the road, and Pei Zilie came over with several personal guards.
"I was just looking for you two, but it turns out that you both are here, which saves me a lot of trouble," Pei Zilie said with a smile, handing over the military report in his hand, "The news sent back by the scouts in front was just two hours later.
Previously, Fan Yi led his troops out of Yidu, broke into Jingmen Wharf, captured a large number of ships, and are now crossing the river."
"Fan Yi, cross the river?" Obviously the impact of this news was so great that Xiao Shilian was stunned and didn't even know what to say.
Pei Zilie nodded: "This Fan Yi is indeed a character. When he didn't take action before, he was sitting on the Diaoyutai. Now he is doing it. It's very spicy. The camp on Jingmen Mountain and the wharf at the foot of the mountain are from Xiliang and Northern Zhou Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River."
The only nail was that after nine years of hard work, Fan Yi pulled it out as soon as it started."
Jingmen Mountain is a famous mountain guarding the river outside Yidu City. There are peaks along the river in the north and Changtan in the south. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is known as the "Western Fortress of Chu". Although the mountain is not high, it is important because of its geographical location.
Therefore, after Wu Mingche retreated, Xi Liang relied on the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to cross the river to capture this key place between Songzi City and Yidu City, and built camps and docks as a foothold for attacking Nanchen.
Although Fan Yi has always had the idea of attacking Jingmen Mountain over the years, after all, Xiliang has concentrated its operations in Jingmen, stationed heavy troops, and has naval forces guarding the river. Therefore, it is a hard nut to crack. Once a war begins, it means
When the all-out war broke out between Xi Liang and Nan Chen, Fan Yi was unable to take such a risk even if he coveted Jingmen Mountain.
After all, Nan Chen's focus has been on Huainan in recent years. With the troops and horses in Fan Yi's hands, the defense of the city was somewhat stretched, let alone the attack.
