Sweep the World

　　 is definitely a big deal. Not only Xie Shang and the princes of the courts felt that way, but also Chu Baijue, the governor of Xincai, had a large number of Han troops marching south from Chen Jun, so it should be clear how war is about to start. ?

　　 "How much?" Chu Pai looked very calm, all because he didn't know that the small Eastern Jin imperial court's fleet at Jingkou had suffered heavy losses, let alone that Huan Wen had taken a large fleet to Yuzhou west. He asked his lieutenant Li Mai: "How many infantry, how many cavalry?"

　　 Of course, Li Mai was born in a family of the small Eastern Jin imperial court. One of the small Eastern Jin imperial courts is considered to be from a family. If it is not possible to have official status, usually he will be a nobleman. The number of village lords is the largest. The news he received was rather vague, and he said in a guessing tone: "It should be sixty to seventy thousand. The cavalry can confirm that the leader is the cavalry. The number of cavalry behind needs to be investigated by the scouts."

　　 The environment north of Xincai County and Ruyin County is absolutely different from that of Huainan. The larger water systems are Yingshui and Rushui. There is no dense water network, and the terrain is flat and flat. In the melee between the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao used to be led by cavalry, and almost defeated Yuan Shu's defenders like wind-rolled buildings, all the way to the bottom of Runan City. To deal with Zhang Xiu who was entrenched in Runan, Cao Cao also led the cavalry, and also rushed straight down Runan very easily.

　　 Chu Pai had more or less consulted some geography, and heard Li Mai said that the leader of the Han army was a cavalry, and for a moment he was still very nervous.

"The strange thing is that the color of the Han army is not as uniform as before." Li Mai didn't know that the Han country had reorganized nearly 200,000 servants. He said with a skeptical but expectant expression: "Come on. Could it not be the Han army at all, but... some rioting civilian armed forces?"

　　 Chu Pai is not stupid. He looked at Li Mai like a fool. He groaned deeply and said, "No matter who comes, it is best to be cautious."

　　"Will the general lead his army to Xiyang?" Li Mai looked at Chu Pai and hesitated slightly: "Just how much should I bring?"

　　 Chu Pai continued to ponder. He felt that the most important thing was to ask for help from the Jiankang Center. The second thing was to figure out how many Han troops had arrived. At this stage, it is better not to act rashly.

The real situation is that the leaders are five thousand servant army cavalry and three hundred Han army cavalry. All the five thousand three hundred are Qingqi. They were ordered to advance and build a bridgehead at the intersection of Xincai County and Ruyin County. .

Because of Chu Bao’s carefulness, the leading Han cavalry only went through a small battle, that is, temporarily built a ladder to let the servants dismount to attack the city, and paid about 600 casualties to conquer the solid defense of only 300 men. beginning.

Gushi is about a hundred li away from Xincai, sixty li away from Xiyang, and more than 110 li away from Ruyin. This is equivalent to taking down Gushi and establishing the Han army to attack the frontier base. Where is the next move? It will be very convenient.

"Convenience is convenient, but Gushi is a place of four wars." Li Kuang led the 10,000 Han army headquarters to restrict 100,000 servants to the south from Xuchang. Of course, his orders to Huan Wen would be implemented. Doesn't it mean that there is no confusion, no? The confusion will be expressed: "Following the command of the main general, we should continue to attack frequently everywhere!"

　　 Huan Wen’s command was very direct, that is, to catch the head of the state chief and fight fiercely until the head of the state made some effective counterattacks or defenses, or Li Kuang’s forces were always in an offensive posture.

　　 Li Kuang was writing military orders while thinking:

　　 Chu Pai's current reputation is still quite good. He is considered to be a knowledgeable man, and he is also humble and polite enough. He seems to be a literati who knows soldiers?

　　Looking at Chu Pai's defense when he was stationed in the three counties, and the stability he showed in the past few months, Li Kuang would actually appear arrogant if he doesn't feel jealous. However, even though Li Kuang had doubts in his heart, he had to implement Huan Wen's orders meticulously and even better.

　　 Gu Shi's fall did not make Chu Pai feel so nervous. It should be said that he would not feel sorry for any loss in those front-end arrangements. What would be nervous is that there are too many husbands in the Han army.

　　 "One hundred thousand, ten thousand Han troops and one hundred thousand Hulu!" Chu Pai, like many southern literati, had a fear of Hulu that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He looked at Li Mai and said, "There will be one hundred thousand Hulu? How many cavalry should it be?"

　　 Li Mai said: "The Han people will not allow Hu Lu to have too many cavalry."

　　 is also right. The Sima family who used to fight inside and outside the layman, they armed the Huren for infighting but were beaten back. Whether it is Liu Yan or anyone from Han, should they learn their lesson? At least Chu Pai and Li Mai thought so.

The next situation made Chu Pai unable to react. The Han army attacking Gushi did not stop attacking. As a result, the letters of assistance and warnings "floated" to Xin Cai like snowflakes. He had already thought very hard. To find out the main attack direction of the Han army, there is no way to figure out a credible idea.

It was not until the Jin army waited and reported to Xincai that there were about 50,000 Han army going southeast from Gushi. Chu Pai and Li Mai determined the main direction of the Han army, and further speculated that the Han army was going to attack. Ruyin City.

"Obvious!" Chu Pai looked very happy after figuring out the main direction of the Han army's attack, and said to Li Mai: "Ruyin is located on the edge of Yingshui. I have asked Jiankang for help, and soon I will be in the direction of Shouchun. There will be reinforcements coming."

　　 Shouchun is one of the important military towns of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Jin army stationed at more than 30,000 for a long time also has a fairly large number of boats. As the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was about to be attacked, the garrison in Shouchun was increased to 60,000, and a large number of private armed families were also located along the Yangtze River.

Chu Pai’s idea is very simple. There is no shortage of people in the south of the Yangtze River who can make boats and boats. He and Xie Shang have become leaders of the family south of the Yangtze River. Not only can they mobilize the defenders of Shouchun, but also the families along the Yangtze River. Private soldier. In this way, they might be able to pinch the advancing Han army in the direction of Xincai and Shouchun.

　　 With good ideas, Chu Pai and Li Mai began to prepare for the attack.

　　 To put it seriously, Chu Pai's performance this time can be regarded as a "breakthrough". It must be clearly understood that in the original history, as the commander of the Northern Expedition, he was famous for "braking with silence."

　　 Chu Pai’s original history of "braking with silence" is that I don’t care what the enemy does. Anyway, I don’t do anything.

The distance on the flat map from Gushi to Ruyin is more than 110 miles. Actually, it is impossible to walk in a straight line. Considering the need to detour and avoid some terrains that are not suitable for marching, Li Kuang’s mission is to go. The journey is definitely over one hundred and seventy miles.

　　According to the normal marching rate, if the foot and cavalry advance in coordination, walking fifty miles a day is considered to be able to guarantee the combat effectiveness to cope with sudden situations, and rushing to travel a few hundred miles a day will make the soldiers fatigued and reduce their combat effectiveness.

　　 Li Kuang decided to believe in Huan Wen's evaluation of Chu Pai, that is, Chu Pai is a person who reacts slowly to everything. He arrived decisively one day and night, and he came out in the early morning and came under Ruyin that night.

　　 Ruyin City is the prefecture of Ruyin County. This city was the forefront of the confrontation between Shijie Zhao Kingdom and the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"The city wall is about four feet high. You can't see the fortifications floating on the surface, you can see that there are no obvious gaps in the city wall." Li Kuang arrogantly came to the arrow below Ruyin City outside the range of the arrow, at the head of the city. The defending sergeant in a white shirt pointed and pointed and commented on the city. Behind him is the camp where he started to encamp, and there are servants around him endlessly logging wood. It is against this background that he said: "Build a siege ladder overnight and try an attack tomorrow afternoon."

　　 Wang Biao nodded and said with a smile: "Judging from the appearance of the guards lighting up their torches, they are surprised at our arrival. They should indeed attack as soon as possible."

　　 Li Kuang didn’t like Wang Biao very much. The reason was that Wang Luan ran to Yecheng after Xuzhou’s fall. Wang Biao was relatively sleek. To put it simply, he thought Wang Biao was a fake.

　　 From Li Kuang to capture Gushi, and then to the Han army to attack everywhere, it was only seven days before the Han army came to Ruyin city.

　　 In seven days, Li Kuang should be said to have achieved the noble **** of war. Ruyin City was only garrisoned with more than 10,000 original defenders, but it was not clear whether the residents of the city would stand by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to help the Jin army defend the city.

　　 Huanwen, who is going to land from Runan County on the Yangtze River, when he received the report from the battlefield, the fleet was on the river not far from Shouchun.

The navy of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty suffered heavy losses in Jingkou. On the way to the west of the Han fleet through the Yangtze River, some Jin army warships were encountered sporadically. Private fishing boats are also treated the same.

"Li Pian will march into Ruyin City. After the first attempt to attack, it failed and left a false soldier." Huan Wen handed the information in his hand to his old buddy Yuan Qiao, and said with full appreciation: "He took the army with him. Turning to the southwest, I fought an ambush against the 20,000 Jin troops who came from Yuanlu to help Ruyin City."

Yuan Qiao has already seen the report on the following battle. Li Kuang’s work is a typical one-off attack. Although he did not completely wipe out the 20,000 Jin troops from Yuanlu, he slashed more than 3,000 and captured nearly 10,000. It is a commendable case.

"How many talents are in the big man!" Huan Wen is actually a little bit high-spirited. As the chief general of the Southern Expedition this time, he has nearly 230,000 troops under his command. Although there are 200,000 non-human servants among them, he I felt that if I had been in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, I would never have the opportunity to command more than 200,000 troops in my entire life. He commented: "Li Kuang was born in the end, and he followed the king in the early battles. He served as the captain of a county and was the last Jiang Duling. As long as he performs well in this battle, he will have no future in the future. Limited."

　　 Yuan Qiao nodded his head in approval, and then said: "The head of the country sent reinforcements but was ambushed. Will he continue to lead the army to defend New Caicheng, Ang or retreat to Runan?"

"He can't bear the responsibility of losing the city and land, and he won't run away in embarrassment for the sake of fame." Huan Wen and Chu Pa are actually unfamiliar, but the family circle south of the Yangtze River is so small, they will study each other more or less. Will know what kind of character a certain person is. He judged: "We should gather the army as much as possible and stick to Xincai and Ruyin with all his strength. He stays in Xincai by himself, and Li Mai will defend Ruyin."

Yuan Qiao laughed immediately. He looked at Shouchun's location and said in a deep tone: "I have been ambushed once, Shouchun's rear reinforcements will not go north, and Chu Pai will no longer support Ruyin City from this group of troops. Up."

　　 Shouchun is definitely a big city. In addition to the large number of troops stationed in the city, the Jin army is in the northeast of the camp.

The fleet of 　　 Huanwen had actually passed the position of Palgong Mountain. Before you could see the situation along the river, it was the Jin army panicking to deploy.

Now, they can see Shouchun City with their naked eyes, where the yellow and red wolves are rising, they can hear the drums, and they can also see the banners spreading at the top of the city~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Three hundred ships block this section of the river? "Yuan Qiao has estimated for a long time, and for the sake of safety, he had to suggest: "After Shouchun, shall we directly insert Yingshui and take the waterway to meet with Li Kuang's department?" "

　　 Huan Wen wanted to board the 6 directly from Runan. He wanted to board the 6 directly with the 10,000 Han army headquarters carried by the fleet, and took the new interest directly with a surprise gesture. The reason why he thought about doing this is not that he looked down on Chu Pai, nor did he feel that Xinxi was good offensive. It was simply that he couldn't wait to complete the task, and then went to participate in the epic battle in Puyang.

After thinking about it again, Huan Wen decided to follow his previous thoughts and said to Yuan Qiao: "Chu Pai did not expect that we would board 6 from the rear. In order to resist Li Kuang's subordinate, Chu Pai will inevitably transfer troops from the rear to the north, and a new interest will be formed. Absolute emptiness is just a good opportunity to take new breath and surround the place where Chu Lei Xingyuan is on three sides."

　　 Yuan Qiao nodded silently and stopped talking. He knew very well that once Huan Wen decided what he wanted to do, it would not be easy to change.

In Xincai City, Li Mai continued to persuade Chu Pai that he could no longer passively meet the blows of the Han army. Isolated lonely city.

Chu Pai looked like he was still not in a hurry, and he even had time to climb high and look far away. Facing Li Mai who was constantly persuading him, he maintained a pensive posture. After a long time, he turned his head and smiled bitterly and said, "It has been brewing for a long time. I can't even brew poetry? It seems that my heart is in a mess."

　　 At that moment, the stunned expression on Li Mai's face was very obvious. He didn't know whether to admire Chu Pai's calmness or to say something. 8
