In the city, the government, Xiao Xu stood under the eaves outside the listening experience, looking up at the blue sky without saying a word.

As soon as he captured the city of Feng, he heard a message that almost stopped his heart from beating: Uncle San took all the civil and military officials to Qu'a to sweep the imperial tombs.

In other words, Taicheng is empty at this moment, as long as he leads his army to Jiankang immediately, Uncle San may not have time to return to the city to preside over the overall situation.

Xiao Xu wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but the Wei generals who were traveling with him did not agree.

The other party had two remarks: First, the Wei soldiers who accompanied the war were not adapted to the local conditions and rushed on a boat for thousands of miles, and they could vomit and diarrhea. They needed to rest in Fengcheng for a period of time and would definitely not be able to fight a tough battle.

Second, when Xiakou changed hands, the news must have reached Jiankang, and the emperor must be prepared. Even if he had already traveled, he would return to the city immediately.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jiankang City Defense to have major flaws, and our side actually has no choice but to take advantage of it.

From Fengcheng to Jiankang, the waterway is nearly a thousand miles away. The entire army is advancing eastward. It will inevitably be exhausted when rushing for days. Even if the troops are outside Jiankang City, they may face a strong defender.

At this time, there is no way to retreat, and there is no way to attack and cannot attack, so there is only a dead end.

Xiao Feng had the ambition to break his boat. Since he had attacked, his only goal was Jiankang. He was willing to take risks, but he could not convince these Wei generals.

Angry, he even planned to take his troops to attack Jiankang and let the Wei soldiers stay in Fengcheng to defend the city.

But without the brave and warlike Wei soldiers, he was not sure to attack Jiankang, let alone take down Taicheng.

So he had to compromise and ordered the entire army to rest in the city.

Just now, news about Jiankang came: the emperor had returned to Jiankang overnight and ordered the whole city to be on guard and mobilized surrounding troops to enter Beijing.

So, as General Wei said, this opportunity is not an opportunity.

In theory, Xiao Xu should be glad that he did not attack rashly, but the sudden "disobedience" of General Wei made him feel a little uneasy.

It seems that the other party is not in a hurry to help him attack Jiankang.

Although it sounds nice to say on the surface, I must first find Yang in Jiangzhou and gain a foothold in Fengcheng, and then call on the aspiring people to advance eastward, Xiao Xu vaguely felt that he could not do what he wanted.

For him, attacking Jiankang as soon as possible is the only way to win. If the fighter is delayed, Uncle San will gather more troops in Jiankang. At that time, he will not be able to attack any longer.

The result is that it cannot get fast, so the so-called "destruction and dedication" is just wishful thinking...

Xiao Xu didn't dare to think too much. Now that he has no way back, it is better to attack here than to trap Xiangyang.

Besides, my brother once told the powerful Nanchuan in southern Jiangzhou that he would raise trouble when the time was right in the future, so he could grow his momentum in Jiangzhou and win over more people to serve him.

Now, Xunyang is in a hurry. As long as he abolishes and repels the reinforcements from all over Jiangzhou that reinforce Xunyang, and then takes Nanchang, the situation will be opened.

By then, as long as you have to be appointed as an official and make a wish, you will definitely be able to inspire the powerful people in Jiangzhou to uprising and serve him. As long as you gain a foothold in Jiangzhou, there will still be opportunities.

While thinking, several Wei generals came to see him. Xiao Xun asked the first person with a calm expression: "General He Ruo, don't know what the arrangement is?"

He Ruodun, who was full of confidence, was brave and good at fighting in order to help fight the Wei army's chief general, and was appreciated by Prime Minister Yuwen Tai. He shouldered a heavy responsibility this time and wanted to make a difference. He heard Xiao Xu ask a question and answered loudly:

"Don't worry, you have all arranged it. No matter how many reinforcements come, you can make it come and go!"

Xiao Xu looked at this general who was about the same age as him and felt that judging by the other party's qualifications, it was not like a long-time general on the battlefield.

But thinking that the elite cavalry under his command performed well before, he couldn't help but feel full of expectations.

"Very good, I'm waiting for the general's good news!"

......

The sun is shining, the trees are shaded, and the cool breeze blows from the sparkling lake surface, making the soldiers rushing on the Guandao on the shore feel very comfortable.

They were soldiers from Yuzhang County. They set out from Nanchang and went north to reinforce Xunyang. They arrived in Jianchang yesterday and gathered some troops and continued to rush forward.

The two teams were combined, with about 7,000 people walking on the official road, and the long team was endless.

One mile to the east is Pengli Lake, and to the west is empty wilderness, dotted with some woods. The soldiers who were rushing to look at the rising sun and couldn't help but speed up their pace.

It’s sunny today, so you have to find a cool place to rest at noon and avoid the sun. When the sun is not so poisonous in the afternoon, you will have another journey.

Many people were a little uneasy when they went to Xunyang this time because the traitors had occupied the city and could send troops to attack their northbound teams at any time.

However, this is the territory of Jianchang, which is four or five days away from Shucheng. It is impossible for the enemy to run so far to fight.

Besides, there is Yuning County in front of me.

I don’t know how long it took, but the team in front suddenly became restless and shouted again, and I don’t know what happened.

After a while, there were scattered cavalry running from front to back, shouting as they ran: "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Get ready to fight!"

The shouts surprised many people, and then they came to their senses, scattered, went to the baggage truck to get weapons, and the entire team twisted wildly like a long snake gnawed by ants.

The enemy cavalry was numerous and came very quickly, like a diving eagle, rolling up dust and pounced on the long snake that was almost broken.

The resistance organized in a hurry was soon broken by horse's hooves, and cavalry teams easily broke into a long team and then crossed them into countless segments.

The terrified soldiers watched their companions breaking under the collision of the enemy cavalry, and they had no will to resist. They shouted and ran away in scattered ways. The wilderness was full of people running wildly.

And the cavalry that wantonly chase, rush, and trample on.

The two legs of a man cannot run on the four legs of a horse. Those who are scattered in the wilderness will either be knocked down by the enemy cavalry, or be pushed down by their own people, trampled on and wailed everywhere.

People with agile brains can run to the lake east and jump into the water to avoid the pursuit of enemy cavalry.

More and more people ran to the lake, like a large group of ducks rushing into the water, and the Wei cavalry drove these defeated soldiers into the water like duck-driven people.

Some people know how to water, and move slowly after entering the water, while others rush over from behind, swim forward desperately, squeeze each other, and push them, many people who know how to water are squeezed into the water and cannot stop choking on the water.

There are more and more defeated soldiers fleeing into the water. Many people are either squeezed down, pushed down and choked on the water, and then drowned. Many people are not able to water at all. They are scared to the point of being at a loss when they enter the water, and then they are chasing and pulling others to drown with themselves.

After a while, dense crowds of people struggled on the water, shouting one after another, and the scattered soldiers running wildly on the shore suffered heavy casualties under the pursuit of the enemy cavalry.

Either it turns into a bloody corpse or kneel down and beg for mercy.

In a high ground, He Ruodun, who was observing the battlefield situation, could not help but shake his head when he saw this: "It's so weak, no wonder he was easily attacked by Hou Crooked and surrounded Taicheng for several months."

He smiled left and right and said, "The Liang army is so unbearable, I don't know how Emperor Xiao sat firmly on the imperial throne."

"How he is the emperor has nothing to do with us." He Ruodun turned his eyes to the distance and looked at the vast surface of Pengli Lake.

After they occupied the city of Feng, there were many enemies to be solved in Jiangzhou. The most difficult one was to capture Hou Jing alive and capture the Poyang native Li Li, who captured the King of Hedong, King Xiao Yu.

He Ruodun carefully considered Li Li's record and understood the general situation of this person. He knew that Li Li was a fisherman who was a fisherman, so he must have a good understanding of the situation in Pengli Lake District.

Moreover, Li Li is very famous in Pengli Lake District. Now he has become a Poyang Inner History. If necessary, he will be able to gather a large number of ships and fishermen to fight with the army.

Therefore, He Ruodun believes that his navy should not easily enter Pengli Lake to confront the other side, otherwise it will easily suffer a great loss.

Once the navy suffered heavy casualties, they could not defend Fengcheng at all, and could not "nail" in Jiangzhou for a year or two to prevent the Liang army from advancing westward.

He Ruodun, under the order of the Prime Minister, held Xiao Sui, the King of Yueyang of Liang State, and his troops and horses hosted him, "nailed" in the area of ​​Fengcheng for at least one year. In this way, the court could conquer the city as much as possible.

Now, if they want to stand firm in Jiangzhou, they have to solve the biggest threat Li Li has.

Since Li Li had an advantage in Pengli Lake District, He Ruodun decided to get rid of Li Li on land.
