Chapter 249
On the north bank of the Huaihe River, in the earthen city built by the Wu army.

After receiving the information that Wang Jing sent [-] soldiers to attack Hou Jing and Pang Shigu, Yang Xingmi, who had been focusing on the south and was leading the army to attack the Sui army, quietly returned here.

Inside the military tent, tallow candles burned silently, illuminating the somewhat dim space.

Yang Xingmi frowned, standing in front of a map, his right index finger kept sliding back and forth on the map.This map is a topographic map of the east and west banks of the canal north of Huaihe River.

Whether it is Pang Shigu, Hou Jing, or Bai Ze under Wang Jing's rule, they are all marked on the map in detail.

Where the terrain is dangerous and where it is suitable for crossing the river, it all appears.

"Your Majesty, according to the news just now, General Zhang Lin of the Huai Army has crossed the river and is fighting Hou Jing by the river!"

The big tent was opened, and a scribe walked in.

This person is Yuan Xi, the mastermind of Yang Xingmi. After he got the information, he came to report in person.

"Zhang Lin...he is not weak, and he is still a little short of defeating Hou Jing!"

For Zhang Lin, a contemporary general, Yang Xingmi naturally knew.

If Zhang Lin did not die, Huainan Jiedushi would not be able to fall into his hands...

He recognized Zhang Lin's ability very much. When he knew that Zhang Lin was attached to Wang Jing, he kept lamenting that he couldn't get in touch with him in time.

But in his eyes, Zhang Lin is still a bit worse than Hou Jing.

Yuan Xi said: "Although Zhang Lin is not Hou Jing's opponent, there are other generals under Wang Jing's command. If these generals fight together, Hou Jing will definitely lose. Your Majesty, we cannot just sit back and watch Hou Jing's defeat!"

Hear this.

There was a wry smile on Yang Xingmi's face, "If I knew Wang Jing was so sharp, I wouldn't have provoked Hou Jing secretly! If Hou Jing is defeated, the Huai army will be able to capture Siyang..."

"Compared to Hou Jing, Wang Jing is the threat to our army!"

At this time, Yang Xingmi felt a little regretful.

He had already looked up to Wang Jing as much as possible, but he still underestimated him too much.

Hou Jing, who had been entangled with him for more than a year without winning or losing, unexpectedly fell into a disadvantage in Wang Jing's hands, and he would even be defeated soon...

If someone told Wang Jing before he sent troops, Yang Xingmi would definitely think it was impossible.

but now.

He had to admit that Wang Jing's strength had surpassed that of Wu Jun!Hou Jing, who could not be defeated by the Wu army, was crumbling under Wang Jing's [-] troops.

Doesn't this mean that when the Huai army went south from the upper reaches of the canal, the Wu army could not resist it?

"Wang Jing's power has grown too fast. No one thought of this. Now we can only prevent him from going south as much as possible! King, now we have only one choice, and that is to immediately send troops north to join forces with Hou Jing!"

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice.

"Send troops directly?"

Yang Xingmi was stunned for a moment. What he discussed with Yuan Xi and Dai Yougui before was to secretly provide food and grass support for Hou Jing, so that Hou Jing could hold back Wang Jing's [-] troops and consume each other.

Now turn secret support into direct troops...

If troops are sent, the soldiers and horses who attacked the Sui army in the south must be brought back.It is bound to affect Wu Jun's plan to expand to the south.

You know, Li Shenfu and Wang Maozhang have won several battles in a row, and they are about to capture the camp of the Sui army... Withdrawing troops at this time means that the previous efforts are in vain.

Yuan Xi sighed: "Your Majesty, we can only do this now. If Hou Jing and Pang Shigu are defeated, we are afraid that we will not be Wang Jing's opponents!"

"Instead of being defeated by Wang Jing in the future, it is better to unite Hou Jing and Pang Shigu now and fight Wang Jing to the death!"

When he said this, his voice paused, and he looked at Yang Xingmi and said, "If we can defeat Wang Jing, we can take advantage of the trend to annex Pang Shigu and Hou Jing, and divide the border with the Huai army across the river, all according to the land of Huaidong..."

Many things in the world are misfortunes and blessings.

Just like the current Wu army, facing the great threat of Wang Jing, they had to go north to support Hou Jing.

But there is also great opportunity in it.

As long as Wu Jun, Hou Jing, and Pang Shigu jointly defeat Wang Jing, most of the territory of Huai'an Mansion in the source world north of the Huaihe River and east of the canal will fall into the hands of Yang Xingmi.

Yang Xingmi's face moved slightly, he was able to become the hegemon of Jianghuai in the source world and establish Yang Wu, so he naturally had no lack of determination in his heart.

After understanding what Yuan Xi said.

He thought for a while, and immediately said: "Done! According to what the military adviser said, the king immediately recalled Li Shenfu and Zhou Ben! Only Wang Maozhang was left to guard against the Sui army. This time, the king also sent [-] troops. Jing Yi decides the winner!"

Yang Wu's army is quite large.

However, Yang Xingmi also needs to guard the Quartet, and the soldiers and horses that can be deployed are similar to those of the Huai Army, about [-].

He dispatched [-] troops to the north, tantamount to taking out his family fortune.

"Your Majesty is wise! I'm going to deliver the order now! I'll send someone to contact Hou Jing again and ask him to persevere as much as possible!"

Yuan Xi cupped his hands.

It will take time for Yang Xingmi's army to move back from the south. They only hope that Hou Jing can live up to his expectations and not lose so quickly.

……

The wind howled.

Wang Jing climbed onto the wooden high platform, followed by Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu and others. They looked forward, and saw five thousand cavalry on the ground in front of them, and they were ready on the two wings of the army.

The infantry commanded by Zhang Lin was rapidly approaching Hou Jingjun's camp.

At this time, the army was dispatched, and the evil spirit was pervasive, and the sky seemed to be affected by the evil spirit. Large swathes of dark clouds gathered, and the void became a little low.

The air is heavy, and the gust of wind is constantly sweeping, making people's cheeks hurt.

On the high platform, Wang Jing and many civil and military personnel were all well-cultivated, ignoring the strong wind and focusing most of their attention on the army ahead.

Zhang Lin now has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands. In addition to the soldiers and horses of his headquarters who took the lead in crossing the river and fighting with Hou Jingjun before, Wang Jing dispatched another [-] soldiers and horses under his command temporarily.

Wang Jing's military strategy and ability to lead troops have grown rapidly, and his strategic vision has also been improved in the constant wars.

However, he is still lacking in personally commanding the formation of the army.

So the task of commanding the army to attack was handed over to Zhang Lin.

The Huai army was ready to attack, so Hou Jing naturally couldn't ignore it.

He immediately left the camp with all the remaining soldiers and horses.

The strength of Hou Jing's army was already at a disadvantage. If they stayed behind closed doors, Zhang Lin would command the army to surround Hou Jing's camp and use cavalry to cut off the surrounding connections...

In this case, there is no need for the Huai army to take the initiative to attack, and the soldiers and horses that surround Hou Jing for a while will collapse.

Therefore, after a head-to-head fight with Zhang Lin and already knowing that the Huai army is powerful, Hou Jingming knew that his family was at a disadvantage, so he had to go out to meet the enemy.

Prepare for a decisive battle with the Huai army in the wilderness.

He has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and Zhang Lin has [-] troops at this time, and the strength of the two sides is probably the same.

It's not that Hou Jing has no chance of winning.

In the void above Hou Jing's army formation, traces of aura began to gather, forming the phantom of a greedy wolf...
