In the blink of an eye, in October, Zhang Tianxi captured the small town of Qinggang, and cooperated with Xuancheng's Shouyang offensive to besiege Xu Yuanxi. Hu Bin's navy arrived at Shaopi and was blocked by Liang Cheng, unable to break through, so he had to return to Xiacai.

On October [-]th, Zhang Tianxi led troops to break through a corner of the border of Shouyang City from the west, and shot deceptive documents persuading surrender into the city. The soldiers in Shouyang City were noisy and uneasy for a while. It's been a month, exhausted by the enemy's beating, and the water in the city has long been cut off, but Xu Yuanxi still refused to surrender. The soldiers discussed opening the city gate to let the Qin army enter the city. When he left the west city, he was bumped into by Zhang Tianxi's army.

But Zhang Tianxi ordered the people to pick up the head and bring it back to the barracks, and put it in the ground for safety. There was a lot of discussion in the Qin army, and some people didn't understand what their general wanted to do.

Zhang Tianxi ordered someone to send a letter to report the matter, and Xuancheng couldn't help admiring the subjugated king after reading it.

He doesn't seem to be as dizzy and incompetent as he appears on the surface. It's not that he has no strategy in his heart. He just became a king of subjugation and acted cautiously in Chang'an, walking on thin ice.

"Order Zhang Tianxi to give kindness to the enemy. If Xu Yuanxi surrenders at this moment, I am still willing to forgive him." Xuancheng said to Mingyue, "You order someone to pass a message to Zhang Tianxi."

"Master seems to be much more friendly to Guiyihou." Mingyue agreed, but muttered to herself.

After hearing this, Xuancheng's mouth curled up in a treacherous arc, "Friendly? Soon you won't see it that way, go ahead, he is a good guy who helped me capture Shouyang."

More and more soldiers in Shouyang City became noisy and uneasy. Everyone knew that their chief general beheaded those soldiers who wanted to escape that day, and threw their heads out of the city. Morale suddenly fell into a slump. The reason for the water cut-off, the soldiers were discussing in private how to escape.

Xuancheng seized the opportunity and together with Zhang Tianxi's Qinggang garrison stormed the outer city of Shouyang for several days. Finally, on the [-]th, a gap was opened. A large number of soldiers fled to the Qin army camp, and the outer city was broken. On the [-]th, the Qin army broke through Shouyang City with an overwhelming advantage. Soldiers poured into the city like a flood. In the chaos, Xu Yuanxi fled in a hurry. Also captured was the Empress Dowager Anfeng of the Jin Dynasty, Wang Xian.

Xuancheng boarded the city wall of Shouyang, facing the magnificent picture of the confluence of three rivers below the city, and the two mountains pinching each other, his heart was churning like the rolling water of the Yellow River. into his hands.

"Bring that old man up."

The soldiers pressed down on the man who kept swearing, and came to the city wall, "Kneel down."

Xuancheng turned around and faced this prisoner.

A veteran over half a century old.

"Xu Yuanxi, look, the city you have guarded for so long has been captured by me. Where are your reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty? Why don't you see them come to rescue you?"

"Hey, the little Hu clan dared to attack my great Han state. What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Although I lost today, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill me, kill me."

As soon as he mentioned the two words of the Hu family, Xuancheng's head felt as if it had been poured with hot oil, and suddenly he was furious, and he went up and kicked him down, cursing, "Do you think you are so noble, your old lady Did you get gang-raped when you were born, ah, that’s why you have pig brains on your head, okay, you want to die, right? That’s great, then I won’t let you die, I want you to see, What is the great country that you claim to be noble, let you see with your own eyes how the noble Han State you said was destroyed."

"Heaven and gods are above, the thief Fu clan invaded our Han clan and plundered the world, the gods have spirits, we should quickly kill these rebellious officials and thieves, and help our Han clan's land." Xu Yuanxi struggled and roared loudly.

Anfeng prefect Wang Xian was escorted to one side but begged for mercy, "Mr. Yang Ping, please spare my humble life. I am willing to surrender to the Qin army. Please spare me."

When Xuancheng went up, he slapped her face hard, pointed at her nose and cursed, "You poor life, I think your mother must have crossed with a barbarian and gave birth to you bastard."

Xuancheng didn't know why, but felt that there was a soaring anger to vent.

"Behead Wang Xianli in front of the army, and Xu Yuanxi will take him into custody."

"Yes."

Xuancheng Yangtian sighed deeply, his nails were deeply embedded in the cracks of the blue bricks of the city wall, the physical pain was nothing compared to the heartache, "Fu Jian, how can you win this war, these Han people want to drink your blood alive, They pride themselves on their noble bloodlines, they are indiscriminate, and there is hatred between Hu and Han for genocide. How can you rule them? Are Hu people necessarily inferior? Are Han people necessarily noble? You have worked so hard to manage this fusion of Hu and Han , does anyone in the world understand your heart?"

When he thought about the 60 Han army commanded by Fu Jian, he felt uneasy, hurried down the city wall, and ordered the lieutenant generals to come to discuss matters.

Zhang Tianxi, who was stationed in Qinggang, also came to Shouyang.

Xuancheng looked at the standing generals and asked, "What do you guys think about our capture of Shouyang? We have been attacking for half a month, but the Xie family did not come to help. Did it all go too smoothly? "

"It's not that the family members didn't come to help, but that they came late. We have to thank them for their late arrival and seize the opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"Xie Shi has already led the navy to retreat from the eastern battlefield to the Huaihe River, but the fall of Shouyang was absolutely beyond his expectation. Hu Bin marched from Xiacai, intending to march towards Xiashi."

"It's a good time to come, and wipe them all to the north of the Yangtze River."

At this time, a high-pitched voice sounded outside, "Jingzhou Military News, Champion General Military News."

"Come in quickly."

The soldiers delivered Murong Chui's battle report, Xuancheng eagerly opened it up to have a look, and immediately beamed with joy, "That's great."

"The champion general captured Jingzhou?" All the generals became suspicious.

"No, although Jingzhou was not captured, it was almost done. The [-] Xianbei soldiers led by the champion general captured Yuncheng, beheaded the Jin army general Wang Taiqiu, and Huan Chong once again retreated to the Shangming garrison."

Xuancheng was overjoyed, "Okay, that's great, the champion general deserves to be the champion general."

"Report, there is an important military report from the Jin army." The soldiers outside reported the sound again.

Xuancheng took a few pictures and said loudly, "Come in."

The soldier delivered another letter, Xuancheng couldn't wait to open the letter and glanced at it, his face suddenly became turbulent.

"General Hussars, you are right. The 8 Beifu soldiers led by Xie Shi and Xie Xuan are coming towards Shouyang. At this moment, they are 50 miles away from Shouyang. The Youji army must have been blocked in Pengcheng and it is difficult to go south. Your Majesty It's up to us to confront these Beifu soldiers head-on."

This is mixed news.

Finally, it was time to confront the Xie family head-on.

"Yao Chang went south from Yizhou, and Pei Yuanlue's navy has arrived in Jiangling. The most difficult problem now is Huan Chong. Murong Chui can't completely defeat Huan Chong's navy, and Pei Yuanlue's army can't pass the Jin army's Yangtze River defense line. Even if we fight against the Xie family, we will still be unable to cross the river, think about it, how to solve this problem?"

Xuancheng was worried. Without the support of the Lingjiang navy, how would the 20 northern army cross the river? Xie Shi and Xie Xuan could drag the Qin army to death in Shouyang just by delaying.

Zhang Hao stood up and cupped his fists and said, "The final general is willing to lead the troops to Jingzhou and defeat Huan Chong together with the champion general."

Xuancheng waved his hand, "No, Huan Chong's purpose is to contain the forward of our Qin army, causing us to divide our troops again and again, weakening our advantage. If we divide our troops everywhere, we will not be able to fight the Xie family. "

It was only at this moment that Xuancheng admired Xie An's strategy, as if he had really played a good game of chess.

Huan Chong's attack on Xiangyang in May may have been just a test, but this weak test was definitely not Huan Chong's idea alone. It must have been planned by Xie An. Huan Chong attacked Xiangyang, forcing Fu Jian to send troops to rescue Xiangyang. The most important thing is not the gains and losses of Xiangyang at all, but no matter whether he saves Xiangyang or not, Fu Jian can't concentrate his superior forces. Now that Huan Chong is stationed in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, on the one hand, he can defend the Yizhou navy of the Great Qin Dynasty from advancing along the Yangtze River. On the other hand, it once again forced the Daqin vanguard army to divide its forces, restraining the vanguard from going south smoothly.

The 25 Di tribe elites have already divided 22 Xianbei soldiers. Now Hu Bin, Xie Shi, and Xie Xuan have arrived in Shouyang one after another. If they do not divide their troops to fight, it will be tantamount to the [-] Qin troops defending an isolated city of Shouyang. This in itself is a favorable situation for the Xie family, who are good at naval warfare, and the Xie family will also come to besiege Shouyang.

"Xie Shi has a feeling of fearing the enemy. The navy he leads will definitely be stationed in the lower reaches of the south bank of the Huaihe River, that is, in the east of Shouyang. There is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Huaihe River named Luojian 35 miles away from the east of Shouyang. You can send generals to garrison here to keep Xie Shi's navy firmly downstream, making it impossible for them to go west, let alone go north to rescue Shouyang."

Zhang Haotou was the Taoist's suggestion, and Xuancheng fell into thinking. He was right. Xie Shi had a mentality of fearing the enemy. He didn't dare to get too close to the Qin army, so he would definitely choose to station in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, which is to the east of Shouyang. However, as long as someone is sent to guard Luojian, they will be able to firmly guard the Shouyang gate.

"Now that Shouyang has been captured and Hu Bin has retreated, it is meaningless for General Wei to garrison troops in Shaopi. Lord Yang Ping can let General Wei lead the troops to Luojian." Zhang Tianxi suggested below.

Xuancheng pondered for a while, and said, "What you said is all reasonable, but the general is worried that our army will be divided for the second time and lose its superiority in strength,..."

"Did Yang Ping forget about our Chinese army?"

Chinese army?These two words penetrated into Xuancheng's ears, and Zhongxuancheng was stabbed to the nerves in a daze, yes, isn't there Fu Jian's 87 Chinese army?

but…

After a while, Xuancheng finally made up his mind, "Okay, send an order to General Wei immediately, and let him lead 5 troops to garrison Luojian, which will definitely prevent Xie Shi's navy from advancing westward to Shouyang."

Therefore, as if God had destined Xuancheng to fight Xie Xuan fairly in the end, the 25 forwards of the Qin army were divided again, plus the previously reduced 3 troops, and now they are divided into another 5. The strength of the clan headquarters, the vanguard of the Qin army stationed in Shouyang and Yingkou is now only 17.

"However, if Huan Chong's army is undefeated for a day, we can only stick to the north bank of the Huaihe River. It is difficult to completely defeat Huan Chong with the champion general's 3 troops. The general decided to let General Pingnan lead his army to join the champion general. If we attack Huanchong together, we will definitely defeat the obstacles that hinder our Yizhou navy from going south."

In the end, Xuancheng ordered Murong Wei to lead [-] troops to Jingzhou, and cooperate with Murong Chui to attack Huanchong. There was no sign as if it was destiny, and this army experienced the third forced division of troops again.

It seems that this war itself is a huge chess game, and the chess player in the dark directs Xuancheng to complete the chess game laid out.

But he didn't know who the chess player was.

Maybe it's God.

Maybe Xie An.

Maybe Fu Jian.
