"Choose dry, higher-lying places to camp in the east and south of the city." Xiao Mohe quickly walked up a hillside in the east of the city. This was a small camp in Xiliang, but when the main force of Nanchen arrived,
There is no one in this camp.
Lu Guangda and other generals turned around and left, while Xiao Mohe walked straight to the highest point of the hillside. From this position, he could clearly see the outline of Jiangling City ahead.
This nightmare that has troubled generations of people in Nanchen is right in front of Xiao Mohe's eyes. Nine years ago, Wu Mingche returned home defeated in this city, and nine years later, Xiao Mohe took advantage of the right time and place.
Just to be able to fulfill the wishes of several generations and overcome the shame of the defeat nine years ago.
Countless soldiers were advancing on both sides of the hillside, generals were running and shouting, and there were countless innocent souls and heroic spirits in the howling wind. Everyone was busy surrounding the city, looking at each other.
Sweeping around the city.
It is truly a city that attracts everyone’s attention.
Xiao Mohe took a deep breath and remembered something: "By the way, didn't I receive the news of Meteor Exploring Horse before? General Dianwei's partial division has crossed the river and even arrived at Jiangling City ahead of us. Why is it missing?
Trace?"
Chen Yu hurriedly raised his hand and said: "General Qi, they have people left behind who are waiting to report to the general. I wonder if the general wants to see them?"
"Oh?" Xiao Mohe was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "These three little bastards really have a lot of airs to bring people here."
As Chen Yu waved, a scout walked over quickly and said in a deep voice: "General Dianwei's subordinates meet General Zuowei!"
Xiao Mohe nodded: "Where is Pei Zilie? Where did Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen go with their three thousand people?"
The scout hurriedly replied: "Return to the general, General Dianwei, Xiao Shenjun and Commander Li led the army directly to bypass Jiangling City and go north."
"Going north?" Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. The huge Jiangling City was right in front of him. Instead of waiting under Jiangling City to join the army, Pei Zilie and the others went north on their own. What were they going to do? Is it to compete with Yuchi Jiong of Xiangyang?
Although Chen Yu knew that Pei Zilie and the other three young men were not only bold but also quite resourceful, this did not mean that with the three thousand troops and horses in their hands, they really had the ability to compete with Yuchi Jiong, not to mention whether it was military rations or rations.
Regardless of weapons, how could it be so easy to raise them for a march on the border between Western Liang and Northern Zhou Dynasty?
You must know that Xiliang has been "implementing" the policy of strengthening walls and clearing fields for the past nine years. In the entire Jiangling City, except for the camps on the river beach, there are basically no villages anymore, and Xiliang's granaries are basically concentrated in
In the city, even if Chen Jun wanted to collect food and grass on the spot, it would be a fantasy.
Therefore, in Chen Yu's view, it would be too risky for Pei Zilie and others to lead troops north without asking for instructions. Of course, he is only a guard captain in the final analysis, and it is not his turn to say these words.
Xiao Mohe frowned slightly: "Is this Lu Teng helplessly watching them go north in the city?"
Although Xiao Mohe knew that Lu Teng would definitely not rush out of the city to pursue him, otherwise he would probably be blocked outside the city by the main force of Nanchen who arrived later, but he should not be able to watch Pei Zilie and the others swaggering northward around the city, at least.
They should send out cavalry to pursue or notify Xiangyang directly.
The scout hurriedly said: "No, General Dianwei and his men led their troops to the west first, and then to the north. As for where exactly they went, this subordinate doesn't know. I was just ordered to wait here for the left guard general.
"
"Map!" Xiao Mohe said in a deep voice, and Chen Yu had already unfolded the map and followed Xiao Mohe for a long time. He could figure out what Xiao Mohe wanted to do.
Xiao Mohe was actually familiar with the mountains and rivers outlined on this map, but he couldn't help but check it again at this time: "From Jiangling City to the west and then to the north..."
Chen Yu also came over to take a look curiously, and couldn't help but whisper: "Jin Nancheng?!"
Xiao Mohe raised his eyebrows, reached out and gently touched the folds on the map, and said with a chuckle: "These three little bastards really have a big appetite."
"Then general, let's..." Chen Yu suddenly looked at Xiao Mohe with some worry.
Xiao Mohe gestured to the other guards to put away the map, and turned to look at Jiangling City: "In any case, Jiangling is the biggest piece of meat in front of you. After all, what your Majesty wants is Jiangling, so the three of them
If anyone wants to fight, let them go. We can't leave Jiangling behind and benefit others in vain."
Chen Yu nodded hurriedly. The Jingzhou governor was staring at this piece of fat with red eyes. If the army were to move at this time, wouldn't Jiangling really be advantageous to Fan Yi?
——————————————
"Xiao Mohe has arrived at Jiangling City?" Fan Yi looked at the majestic city standing not far away, frowning.
A battle leader in charge of scouting horses nodded hurriedly: "Just now our outpost has connected with General Zuowei's outpost. They are deploying in the east and south of Jiangling City, and they have also sent a large number of scouting horses to the north of the city."
Fan Yi raised his riding whip bitterly: "After a long time of effort, I'm still a step too slow."
A general following him hurriedly said: "Why should the governor be anxious? Although we are a step slower, his general Zuo Wei was not the first one to arrive. Who would have thought that this time he would let that partial army pull out?"
Take the lead."
Fan Yi sneered: "I really underestimated Pei Zilie before, but this time he really stumbled. But this time, he ran very fast with three thousand people, and now they are all here
Xiao Mohe is in front, and if I don’t get the credit for being the first to rush to Jiangling City, Xiao Mohe can’t even think about it.”
Thinking of something, Fan Yi then asked: "By the way, where is Pei Zilie now? Is it possible that Cheng Cheng has been waiting at the gate?"
The battle leader responsible for detecting intelligence said hurriedly: "There has been no trace for a long time. General Dianwei led his army to the west and then north. At that time, our sentries greeted them, but everyone went their separate ways after that.
It’s aside.”
Fan Yi suddenly frowned: "To the northwest, what is there in the northwest? Could it be that Pei Zilie left Jiangling City in front of him and went to attack Zhangchuan County?"
The total territory of Xiliang is so large. To the northwest of Jiangling City, there is only one Zhangchuan County that can be called a target, but Zhangchuan County is still some distance away from here.
A general said with a smile: "Just kidding, Governor. This Zhangchuan County belongs to Xiliang in name, but is actually controlled by a group of barbarians from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, there are not many garrison troops in the city. It is said that they are short of food, grass, and weapons."
Feng, go directly to Zhangchuan County, even if you start a war with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, you may not get anything in the end."
