walk to the water

The car rattled, Ma Xiaoxiao.In the boundless wilderness to the east of the Yellow River, the sun is covered by smoke and dust, and the banners are like clouds.Fu Ling, Emperor Shunwu of the Great Qin Kingdom, is leading an army of 50 troops to conquer the Great Zhou Kingdom in the south.The Great Zhou Kingdom and the Great Qin Kingdom were originally bounded by the Yellow River, and the north and south have been separated for a hundred years. Wars are frequent, and the hatred between the two countries is deepening.However, in recent years, the court of the Great Zhou Kingdom has been corrupt and incompetent, and has been defeated repeatedly, and a large area of ​​the Central Plains has fallen into the hands of the Great Qin Kingdom.And this time the Fuling army's personal conquest is planning to win the first battle. Even if the Great Zhou cannot be destroyed, Jiangbei must be wiped out, and the elite main force of the Great Zhou will be wiped out.

The Great Qin Emperor Fu Ling was established in just one year and has been on the throne for six years.In the past six years, he has worked hard to govern, and the national power has become stronger and stronger, and the army under his command is even stronger and invincible.Fu Ling is naturally ambitious, and he is determined to complete the great cause of unification in his own hands, so as to be on par with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and create the foundation for the future of the prosperous dynasty.Since this personal conquest, in just two months, it has gone straight down for five hundred miles, and the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were distracted and fled at the sight of the wind.

At this time, Fu Ling was wearing a golden battle armor, riding his horse and raising his whip, and was heading towards Youzhou, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River.Although it was midsummer, the weather was hot, and he had traveled long distances for days, but he was not tired, his deep eyes were piercing, and his upright facial features were impressive. "Your Majesty, our army will arrive at Youzhou tomorrow. After taking Youzhou, Xuzhou has no danger to defend, so the Zhou army has no choice but to retreat across the Huai River. If they refuse to surrender at that time, Your Majesty can send troops south to fight Go across the Yangtze River and herd horses in the south of the Yangtze River!" General Meng, who was beside him, was guiding the direction far away, full of ambition.

"Wu Ma Jiangnan?" Fu Ling couldn't help but feel complacent when he heard this. He just nodded slightly and said: "Although the Southern Army was defeated, the land of the Southern Dynasty is fertile, the treasury is full, and the strength is still there. Our army must not underestimate the enemy."

All the generals nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a fast horse came galloping, "Report!"

"speak!"

"Your Majesty, our army's spies in Youzhou City have reported that the enemy may abandon the city and flee to the direction of Xuzhou!"

"Abandon the city and flee? Hehe, interesting! The 10,000+ army in the important town of Youzhou fled without a fight? Order the three armies to speed up their march, and must arrive at Youzhou before dawn tomorrow to pursue the enemy!" Fu Ling ordered decisively.

As soon as the decree was delivered, another messenger rushed over, "Report!"

"speak!"

"Report to Your Majesty, General Dai's troops on the left side of our army are besieged in Hushan."

"What?" This time, Fu Ling suspected that he had heard it wrong. Dai Qing's troops were considered to be among the elite of the Qin army.Although he warned his subordinates not to underestimate the enemy just now, the southern expedition went smoothly, and Fu Ling couldn't believe the initial setback.

"General Dai was ambushed by the enemy. The enemy surrounded our army and blocked us in the valley. Now General Dai is still fighting hard. I am afraid that there will be no support. I implore Your Majesty to send troops to rescue!" the messenger reported.

"Oh? There is such a thing? Who is the enemy general?" Fu Ling asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the enemy general's name is Chu Xiang, he is young, it is said that he is not yet 20 years old."

"Under 20 years old?" Chu Xiang, a name he had never heard before, Fu Ling turned around and asked the generals around him, "Does anyone of you know the origin of this Chu Xiang?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I heard that Chu Xiang is the eldest son of Chu Lang, a famous general in the Southern Dynasty. His martial arts and strategy are all top-notch. Therefore, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility before he could reach the weak crown. Most of the troops he led were his father's old troops. He inherited Chu Lang's legacy, ruled He is a promising young general in the army of the Southern Dynasties." A general in his entourage replied, "Of course, this is just the Southern Dynasties saying, not necessarily..."

"After Chu Lang?" Fu Ling's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand to stop the general's words. Chu Lang's name is no stranger to him. Back then, he alone rejected the Qin army at Qiuguan for ten years, and the Qin army fought repeatedly. No, there is nothing to do.Four years ago, Fu Ling led a large army to march in person. The Zhou army relied on the fortress and counted one as ten. Chu Lang took the lead and fought the enemy bravely. The Qin army suffered heavy casualties.However, due to the lack of reinforcements from the Zhou army, the Qin army fought fiercely for ten days and finally captured Qiuguan, while Chu Lang died in a bloody battle.After Chu Lang's death, the Southern Dynasty had no strong opponents, and it was the Peaceful faction that was in power, so the Qin army could show off its might.Unexpectedly, Chu Lang would have a descendant to inherit his father's business, Fu Ling couldn't help but smile slightly, and he really turned his back on him!It’s also good, if there is no rival on the battlefield, even if you win, it will be boring.

"Your Majesty, would you like to send troops to assist General Dai?" General Meng asked.

"No need! The main force of our army is still advancing according to the original plan, and the enemy of Youzhou is the main force of the Southern Dynasty. As for General Dai, I have my own way to rescue him. I don't believe it... Haha!" Before Fu Ling finished speaking, Suddenly he swung his whip, left all the generals behind, and galloped forward.

Stepping off the BMW, the ink cloud left the string like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust.

Zhou Jun's big tent on the front line of Hushan.Chu Xiang was leaning over the case to check the situation map of the enemy and ourselves.Yang Xin, the general in front of the tent, hurried into the tent and said a few words. "What did you say? Wang Jian, who guards Youzhou, has abandoned the city and fled?" Chu Xiang jumped up against the case, his face full of anger.He was born with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a fair complexion, and he has the spirit of Jiangnan. Although he has been fighting in the battlefield all year round, his behavior is gentle and elegant. He is both civil and military. He is known as a Confucian general. , two sword-shaped brows tightly twisted together.

However, Yang Xin shook his head and said: "According to the news that the general heard, it is more than that. Wang Jian planned to escape a few days ago, but he had too much luggage, gold, silver and treasure, and he brought several concubines with him. Most of the generals are like this. Everyone hired many carriages. They moved slowly and were in a state of confusion. They dragged out of the city until yesterday, and stopped and stopped along the way. The news of the retreat was also known to the Qin army. The main force of the army caught up. Wang Jian led an army of 10,000+, and there were tens of thousands of family members and civilians in his entourage. It was too late to retreat across the Huaihe River, so now we can only temporarily station in Xuzhou."

"Wang Jian is a stupid pig! The imperial court is corrupt and incompetent. Youzhou is the gateway to the south of the Yangtze River. If you can't send a tiger, you should also send a watchdog to guard it. How can you be undefeated?" Chu Xiang gritted his teeth in hatred, cursed a few words, and paced back and forth in the tent, "If you want to defend the north of the Yangtze River, how can you easily give up the fortress of Youzhou? When my father was alive, he worked hard to manage Youzhou for many years and built it into a golden city. Tangchi, Wang Jian gave up in vain? Once you give up Youzhou, Jiangbei has no danger to defend, and the Northern Army can go straight to the Yangtze River. If you retreat [-] steps, even if you want to abandon the city and flee, you need to be quick and fast before the enemy arrives. Withdrew across the Huaihe River to preserve strength and defend Jinling. Now stay in Xuzhou. This Xuzhou is the place of the Fourth World War. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If the enemy is besieged here, not only will the land be lost, but the entire army will be wiped out. !"
