Time flies, and three days fly by. As expected, Wang Dun did not break his promise and returned all Shen Chong's original troops to him. Together with the nearly 5,000 defeated troops gathered together, Shen Chong now had more than 10,000 soldiers. On the third day Early in the morning, under the cover of the car formation, we arrived in front of Baidang Lake and set up camp again. ◎Smart children remember to update quickly. ◎Although Shen Chong was careful, Yunfeng had no intention of attacking him at all, so he It was a tense moment in vain.

This time, all the food and grass supplies were provided by Wang Dun. He was still worried and equipped Shen Chong with nearly a thousand wall shields and iron guns. However, there were only thirty trebuchets and not a single crossbow. Wang Dun was not I don’t want to give too much, but I don’t have much equipment with me, which is just enough. Moreover, there are few woodlands near Jiankang. There are only patches of woods around Baidang Lake, Houhu, Zhongshan and Mufu Mountains. I sent sergeants to cut down the trees. It's easy to be attacked.

Jiankang in mid-February has become more obviously warm, and the ice and snow in Huaibei and Henan have melted away not long ago. At the same time that Shen Chong re-established the village, Shi Le, who had spent the whole winter in Chenliu, also came. When we arrived at the Junya Hall, we had just sat down when an attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, the Great Chanyu of Xianbei is seeking an audience with the Great Law Enforcement Officer!"

"Oh? You're here so early?" Shi Le was startled, then waved his hand: "Invite them in!"

"Yes!" The attendant followed the order and left.

After a while, Murong Xuan and Zhang Bin came together. Murong Xuan looked excited, and Zhang Bin also looked happy. In confusion, Shi Le couldn't help but get up and look outside, and saw Murong Xin from a distance. Xian waved his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy! I and the Chief Law Enforcer are here to congratulate you."

As soon as the two of them entered, Shi Le asked impatiently: "Yi Luo Ge, why are you so happy?"

Murong Xin saluted and said: "According to the news that just came, Zu abandoned the defense of Huaibei three days ago and led the army and people to retreat to Huainan."

Shi Le frowned and asked casually: "Why did he abandon Huaibei? Do you two know the reason?"

Zhang Binshili replied: "Your Majesty, I discussed it with Yi Luogei on the road. I think it is because Zu Yue is self-aware and knows that his talent is far inferior to that of Nai brother Zu Ti. It is impossible to stay in Huaibei for a long time. It would be better. It is better to retreat before the king sends troops to avoid him. It is much safer to rely on the Huai River than to stay in Qiao City."

Murong Xin also suggested: "Your Majesty, this must be the case! Now that Huaibei is empty, it is a God-given opportunity for me, Zhao, to advance!"

Shi Le asked worriedly: "Is the news true?"

Murong Xuan said confidently: "It's absolutely true! Please hesitate, Your Majesty. I think it is impossible for all the people in Huaibei to retreat to Huainan in such a short time. There should be some stranded there. And Chen Liu only arrived in Qiaocheng. Less than five hundred miles away, it's like riding a light horse and plowing the land twice!"

Shi Le did not answer immediately. He walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he suddenly turned around and said, "I will lead my cavalry to Qiaocheng in person on the Ming Dynasty!"

Murong Xuan and Zhang Bin looked at each other, and Zhang Bin advised: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is not necessary for your Majesty to come in person to capture Qiao City. Just send a partial army. Zu Yue is timid and afraid of trouble. I, Zhao, have given him face by not attacking him. , how dare he take the initiative to cause trouble? Moreover, the king has not returned to the capital for nearly a year. As the king of a country, it is not appropriate to be away for a long time!"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Le nodded and said: "Meng Sun is right, it is indeed not advisable to leave the capital for too long. In this case, send Shi Kan to lead Qingqi to attack Qiaocheng within 23,000 days. The three of us will also return to Xiangguo on the same day. ."

Murong Xin held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the person stationed at Xiapi is Liu Xia, the Northern Zhonglang general of the Jin Kingdom. Not long ago, this man led his troops across the river to participate in pacifying the Wangdun rebellion. Now Xiapi is also empty. It is better for your Majesty to send another division.

Attack Xiapi, if this happens, all Huaibei will fall into the hands of Zhao!"

Shi Le's heart moved and he couldn't help asking: "Then who should go?"

Murong Xin requested the order: "I have not made any merit since I surrendered to the king. Instead, I was praised by the king. I cried with gratitude and felt very uneasy. This time I would like to take this opportunity to share the king's worries and lead my headquarters to capture Xiapi!"

Shi Le was a little hesitant, frowning and not answering. It was obvious that he was not at ease with Murong Xin. It was one thing to keep him with him, but it was another thing to let him go. Shi Le was afraid that Murong Xin would be in trouble in the future.

The point of oppression.

Murong Xuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and she winked at Zhang Bin repeatedly.

Zhang Bin persuaded understandingly: "Your Majesty, most of our troops are now distributed on the western front and defending the Xianbei Expansion Force to the north. There are not many that can be used to the south. When the troops are sent to Pi, there will be no one left to save Da Shanyu."

Competent, let alone Da Shanyu

At that time, I took the initiative to abandon the Jin Dynasty and came to surrender, and my heart was clear. Please be patient, the opportunity is not lost, and it will never come back. Once the Jin Dynasty sends someone else to garrison Xiapi or Liu Xia returns in time, if you think about it again, you can get it.

It took a lot of effort!”

Shi Le touched his mustache and chuckled: "How could I not know about the loyalty of Yiluo Huai? Since he is willing to serve the country, he is very happy, so how can he not agree? What I just considered is that my ancestors can't make an appointment.

It’s just trash. If I drink Mahuai water in one go, can I even occupy Huainan? And once Yiluohuai attacks,

Go down to Pi, and immediately send your troops southward. You should be 70 to 80% sure of conquering Guangling. Then, all the land north of the river will belong to Zhao. If the internal chaos in Jin further weakens its vitality, can we take the opportunity to send our troops to Jiankang?" Shijie

, General Hussar is about to send troops to Luoyang for the second time. At this moment, please do not rush in!"

Shi Le hesitated and said: "The civil strife in Jin is a God-given opportunity, so why not just let it slip away? How about Gu Yu sending Shi Hu back to the army temporarily and attacking Jin with all his strength?"

Zhang Bin quickly stopped him and said, "Did your Majesty forget that last time you mentioned that your enemy is Mu Yunfeng in Liangzhou? The reason for attacking Liu Yao is to seize Guanzhong first. Therefore, General Hussar must never return to his army.

Otherwise, if Guanzhong is occupied by this person first, it will be extremely disadvantageous for our country, Zhao. But Jin is different, there are no outstanding generals, and the second is to come to the court.

The internal strife will not stop. Your Majesty, you can plan for it slowly after pacifying the north. Moreover, attacking Jin requires the cooperation of naval forces. However, our navy in Zhao is weak. We only have Han Yong in Qingzhou, which is far from enough. The top priority should be

Build more boats and cao cao to train the navy, and then cooperate with the cavalry to move south. Within ten years, the Lord of Jin will be able to claim his vassal status from the north!"

Shi Le couldn't help but feel refreshed and praised: "It's true that Gu Tai is too impatient, good! Just as Meng Sun said, we won't move to Jin for the time being, and stop our horses on the north bank of the Huai River."

They both saluted and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Shi Le waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "You can't be a wise man. Well, if there are no other matters, you two should retreat and make preparations early."

The two of them saluted again: "I'll take my leave!" After saying that, they took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the palace. (To be continued...)
