Ding Sheng fell into a huge selection disorder in Yiyang.

It’s not that he is not decisive enough, but that no matter how he chooses, in his opinion, it is all wrong.

Since a huge gap appeared in Shuangjiangkou, what he has been doing is how to fill this gap and how to prevent the Right Guard from using this gap to fight against the Yiyang defense line he occupied.

Because Lu Yuan's sudden departure had already caused him to be extremely passive. This was like a chain of buckles, and a buckle was broken, and the entire chain faced a fragmented problem.

But the fact is that Shi Zhuang ignored him at all. After Chen Changping occupied Shuangjiangkou, thousands of cavalry went south and rushed straight to Changsha. Then news came that Shi Zhuang's main force gathered with the navy of Dongting Lake and headed south along the Xiangjiang River. The target was Changsha.

what to do?

Since Shi Zhuang left, Yueyang must be empty now. Although Liang Han is still ahead, he has already gained an absolute advantage in his military strength. If he takes this opportunity to fight Yueyang, will he have a chance to succeed?

But doing so undoubtedly gave up Changsha.

He knew very well that his younger brother Ding Hao now concentrated almost all the troops in Changsha, Xiangtan and other places to attack Ren Xiaonian, and Changsha was an empty shell. As long as Shi Zhuang came to Changsha, he would be almost at his fingertips.

Can Changsha be lost?

That was his Ding family's nest.

"Young Marshal, Changsha cannot be saved!" His confidant, veteran Sun Debin, advised him hard: "Not to mention that Chen Changping is all cavalry. If they are targeting Changsha, they will inevitably abandon those small counties and go straight to their destinations. Just talking about Zheng Wenchang's navy, although he is going up against the current, he dare not be able to catch up with us. Since he can't save him, there is no need to waste his efforts. It is better to concentrate his efforts to attack Yueyang. If he can win Yueyang, it is just Duizi."

Ding Sheng smiled bitterly: "How can this be Duizi? This is just using my heart to exchange for the opponent's arms. Without the arms, people can still survive. Without the heart, we will be done."

Sun Debin was silent immediately.

He could only consider this matter from a military perspective, and Ding Sheng obviously had to think more.

"I can't help but save Changsha." Ding Sheng said: "It is our foundation. Countless important figures in Hunan, and the prominent and powerful people are concentrated. Moreover, once Ding Hao gets news in Xiangtan, he will definitely return to the army to rescue him. If he goes to save him and I don't, I'm afraid that my life will be very sad in the future."

"Then I can only give up Yiyang!" Sun Debin sighed.

Ding Sheng's words revealed the disputes within the Ding family. What else can he say?

Giving up Yiyang and rescuing Changsha is also an option. Even if the opponent has captured Changsha, his foothold has not yet stabilized. The army counterattacks and takes Changsha back will not be a big problem.

In Sun Debin's opinion, Shi Zhuang's crazy adventure with Yueyang was nothing more than a person who would definitely save the enemy, so as to save Ren Xiaonian, the troops of the Right Qianniu Guard of the Northern Tang Dynasty who was trapped in Xiangtan.

As we all know, the Right Qianniu Guard is unusual for the current Northern Tang emperor Li Ze. This is the first guard army formed by Li Ze among the twelve guards, and the queen Liu Ruyan was the first general and Li Mi was the second. Among the twelve guards, this is a recognized unit similar to the emperor's personal army.

In light of these factors, Shi Zhuang's desperate attempt to rescue this army seemed to be understandable. At least in the eyes of Ding Sheng and others, this is a very normal thing.

"Yiyang cannot give up!" Ding Sheng said: "I will lead half of my men back to Changsha, and you will take half of my men to stay in Yiyang. Liang Han's troops will not exceed 10,000 people at most, and there will be no spare energy to attack us."

Sun Debin was stunned: "Young marshal, it is absolutely inappropriate to divide the troops at this time. Either defend Yiyang or return to Changsha with all your might. Dividing the troops will only put both of us into danger."

"What danger can there be?" Ding Sheng said: "If you can't stand it, Liang Han's troops cannot shake our defense line. And if I lead 30,000 people back to help, Shi Zhuang's troops are not enough to pose too much threat. That's it."

Sun Debin was speechless.

For him, Ding Sheng undoubtedly made the worst choice. He was worried about gains and losses, wanted everything, and in the end, he might not get anything.

In Ding Sheng's view, returning to Changsha is imperative, because it is not only related to the gains and losses of Changsha, but also to his Ding Sheng's status in Hunan.

In fact, here, Sun Debin and Ding Sheng both fell into a misunderstanding at the same time, and they both believed that Shi Zhuang's ultimate goal was to force Ding Hao to lift the siege of Ren Xiaonian's troops in order to save this desperate force.

But the big men, powerful people, and wealthy families in Changsha cannot see these. When they are in a desperate situation, if Ding Hao appears to rescue them at the right time and appears in Changsha as a benefactor, it will undoubtedly pose a great threat to Ding Sheng's status. Ding Sheng did not think Ding Hao would be his competitor before, but this time, Lu Yuan suddenly led his troops to leave Shuangjiangkou, causing Ding Sheng to wake up from his dream. His status was far from what he thought he would be stable.

Therefore, if he wants to return to Changsha, it is best to arrive in front of Ding Hao.

In the face of such a problem, as Ding Sheng’s confidant, Sun Debin had no choice.

What does it mean to prosper and to prosper and to disgrace?

They are.

But Sun Debin believes that it is really dangerous to give up Yiyang at this time and Ding Sheng’s idea of ​​not wanting to lose anything. But he knows that he cannot change Ding Sheng’s idea. After losing the surrounding area of ​​Yueyang, if Yiyang is lost again, the entire Hunan will actually be in danger.

He could only do his best to defend Yiyang. He believed that if Ding Sheng led half of the troops stationed in Yiyang left, the Tang army opposite would never turn a blind eye.

Ding Sheng led the army to leave Yiyang. Liang Han and Qian Biao, who had been paying attention to the movements in Yiyang, were both overjoyed.

"As expected, General Shi, Ding Sheng made the worst choice." Liang Han laughed. "A such a confused insect can actually command the entire Hunan army, Governor Qian. If you say they lose, who will lose?"

Qian Biao was naturally happy. For him, Ding Sheng's departure means that Yueyang will be safe and sound, and the remaining troops of the other party will not be enough to pose a threat to Yueyang. In the past two years, he has tried his best to manage Yueyang and its surrounding areas, so that it has shown vigorous vitality. When it is booming, he does not want Yueyang to encounter war.

If Ding Sheng gritted his teeth, ignored the dangers in Changsha and launched an attack on Yueyang by a large army, he and Liang Han would not be afraid of each other, but once the battle started, damage to the local area would be inevitable.

It is extremely easy to destroy something, but the time and energy it takes to rebuild it will take not a short time to work. When Shi Zhuang convinced him, he asserted that Ding Sheng would inevitably make a political choice rather than a military choice, but now it has come true.

Qian Biao actually empathizes with Ding Sheng's choice. Unlike Sun Debin and Liang Han, people like him are purely soldiers. Qian Biao in the past actually has a lot of similarities with Ding Sheng now. Sometimes, it must be a political choice that overwhelms the military choice.

"Governor Qian, you can put your heart in your stomach, and I can do something." Liang Han said happily. He is the kind of offensive player, and his mind-boggling defense is not his personality. Since the opponent no longer has the strength to attack Yueyang, it is his turn to do something.

There is no need to do big things, but small things can be kept, taking advantage of small things, and then putting greater pressure on Yiyang.

And in Xiangchao, Ding Hao learned that when Shi Zhuang's troops entered Changsha, they were like Ding Sheng, like five thunders.

This doesn't match the script!

Didn’t General Xiang say that? Give Shi Zhuang this big fat piece of meat in Yiyang to Shi Zhuang, and then use it in exchange for the coalition forces to kill the Right Qianniu Guard, take E Yue again, and then suppress Yueyang in the reverse direction, and join forces with the Yizhou direction to suppress Jingnan at the same time. Shi Zhuang’s troops could not survive in the Yiyang area of ​​Yueyang and had to choose to retreat?

Why did Shi Zhuang keep the fat meat of Yiyang without chewing it, but instead go deep into Changsha alone?

Ding Hao couldn't figure it out.

But he knew one thing very well, that is, Changsha must not be lost.

"General Ji, leave all the infantry for you, and all the cavalry for me. I will return to Changsha as fast as possible!" In the big tent, Ding Hao looked at Ji Zhijiang with a loss of composure: "Ren Xiaonian has only one breath left, and the rest is left to you. Shi Zhuang used the navy's long-distance raid to go deep into my confidant's land. I want to annihilate him around Changsha."

Ji Zhijiang had no objection to this, just like if someone approached Guangzhou City at this time, Ji Zhijiang would lead his army back to aid regardless of his fate.

"Ren Xiaonian gave it to me, but he couldn't escape. General Dante should be careful when he returns to Changsha. This person is a famous general in the world and his use of troops has always been strange and unpredictable."

"This is Hunan!" Ding Hao said in a muffled voice.

Zhuzhou, Liu Xinda's troops were ready to set off. Liu An's troops had already set off three days ago, but after another three days, his headquarters finally waited for Shi Zhuang and Dongting Lake navy to attack Changsha with the news that the Hunan navy almost surrendered without fighting, he did not hesitate any more.
