The first thousand and forty-two chapters

"Which city's army?" Huang Zhong was still a little unbelievable. He had previously inferred that the governor's mansion was empty, but he felt that Chen Wen was worried that his lord Sunshine would raid the city stone tablet, so he removed all the idle personnel in the governor's mansion! But now he heard Jia Xu say that Chen Wen had led the elite army to leave Shouchun City. Compared with his inference, this news is too unbelievable. This is a city at the capital level! How could he give up just by saying that he would give up?

Jia Xu said: "The troops in the city are naturally just cannon fodder troops of the Yangzhou forces. Chen Wen withdrew from Shouchun City, so it is natural that he could not bring these troops with him. Their daily consumption is astronomical. Instead of taking them to form a drag on themselves, it is better to stay in Shouchun City to play their final value. In my opinion, there must be an army loyal to Chen Wen in this Shouchun City. They supervise these cannon fodder troops to defend the city so that we can consume the vitality of our side as much as possible."

When Huang Zhong heard this, he suddenly became angry and said, "This Chen Wen is too a bastard! He just lets these low-level soldiers die! It's fine if he keeps these people to defend the city, but he doesn't even leave a single crossbow chariot or a catapult. This is simply murder!" In fact, Huang Zhong's anger is a bit inexplicable. Both sides are now completely hostile. Logically speaking, the weaker the army guarding the city, the more beneficial it is to them, the siege troops. But Huang Zhong is also a person who cherishes his soldiers, so he can't see those who regard the lives of ordinary soldiers as grass. Now, Chen Wen obviously violates his taboo.

Jia Xu sighed and said, "I'm afraid Chen Wen did not leave war equipment such as crossbows, but he didn't even leave much food and other supplies. In Chen Wen's opinion, these low-level soldiers could not hold on for too long under the attack of my Baiyun City. The amount of supplies left behind was completely an enemy, so they would definitely take away everything they could take away."

Huang Zhong looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Brother Wenhe, what should we do now? Should we forcefully attack the city or take other measures?"

Jia Xu said: "It is indeed not difficult for us to attack Shouchun City now, but the damage is inevitable. Moreover, in chaos, the people and defenders in the city will definitely suffer a large number of casualties and injuries. In fact, according to the current situation, we don't need to fight with the other party at all. Just spread the news of Chen Wen's withdrawal from the main army, and find out and annihilate the army that left in Shouchun City. This Shouchun City is within easy reach!"

Huang Zhong thought briefly and said happily: "Brother Wenhe. This method is wonderful!... But how can we find out the military supervisors in the city?"

Jia Xu said: "I'm afraid I have to ask the young deputy commander of the Privy Council for help. With him taking action, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the information in Shouchun City. Moreover, even if we cannot know the traces of those military supervisors, it is not unimaginable. In addition to the method mentioned just now, we can also adopt the method of siege but not attacking. According to our speculation just now, there is no way to have too much food in the city. As long as we trap him for a few days, let alone those low-level soldiers in the city, even those military supervisors can only take the way to abandon the city and surrender. We can also take down Shouchun City without spending one soldier. The only difference is that in this process, some conflicts will inevitably break out in the soldiers in the city, and bloodshed and casualties are inevitable."

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "If you can't find those military supervisors, this is probably the only way."

Then, Jia Xu wrote a letter and brought it back to the lord with a carrier pigeon. In Baiyun City, Wang Kai's status was comparable to that of him, so he naturally did not want to instruct the other party to do anything, so he directly reported this matter to Yang Tian and asked the lord to make arrangements in person. Of course, Jia Xu also reminded Yang Tian in the letter, asking him to make sure that Wang Kai pay attention to the whereabouts of Chen Wen's army. After all, this is a main force of five or six million, and it is a powerful force anywhere. What's more, Chen Wen is probably hated Baiyun City to the core, so Chen Wen will definitely not be willing to fail. If Chen Wen emerges from a certain Gadali and launches a sudden attack on Baiyun City, then Baiyun City will be passive.

...

After receiving Jia Xu's letter, Yang Tian was shocked and did not come back to his senses for a long time. It was not that he did not believe Jia Xu's judgment, but on the contrary, it was because Yang Tian believed it that he was shocked.

This Shouchun City is a heavy city! Chen Wen was definitely determined to give up when he said he would give up. Moreover, when Chen Wen chose to give up, he would definitely have a better way out than to defend Shouchun City, and the success of this road would be extremely sure.

But in this situation, what needs Chen Wen to do to have such confidence? Is there any place in Yangzhou that is more suitable for defensive battles than Shouchun City? Now the remaining territory in Yangzhou is not as large as the previous Kuaiji County. Where can Chen Wen hide from Shouchun City? Can he still hide in the mountains with millions of troops?

The series of questions made Yang Tian feel a little nervous. If these questions cannot be answered, Yang Tian would not be able to let go.

However, Chen Wen's way of withdrawing from Shouchun City was to use a teleportation array, so it was difficult for Yang Tian to find a destination for the teleportation from Shouchun City. Chen Wen used methods to cover Shouchun City with thick fog, probably to prevent Baiyun City from discovering its movements and pull Shouchun City into a state of war early, so that his withdrawal plan would be completely lost.

However, it is too late to know this now. Chen Wen has withdrawn from Shouchun City. There are only a large group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in Shouchun City, and the people who are powerless to tie chickens all over the city. Based on the previous situation of various towns, Yang Tian believes that all the high-level living professions in Shouchun City have been taken away.

Yang Tian had no objection to Jia Xu's suggestion, so he immediately issued the task to Wang Kai. As for how to complete it, it was Wang Kai's business, and Yang Tian didn't have to worry about it. However, if Wang Kai found the military supervisor whom Chen Wen stayed in Shouchun City, Yang Tian would need to go out by himself, because only he had the ability to lead the army into Shouchun City without the city being captured and cleared these military supervisors at a designated location.

In addition to asking Wang Kai to find the military supervisor in Shouchun City, Yang Tian also assigned Wang Kai a task, which was to find the destination for Chen Wen's army to evacuate. This task is difficult, but not difficult and indeed easy.

...

Facts have proved that Wang Kai's Dark Soul Organization is indeed very efficient. Yang Tian's order was issued in the afternoon. Wang Kai sent back the news the next morning, saying that he had found the specific location of Chen Wen's army.

In fact, this matter is really easy, because Chen Wen did not block the information at his evacuation site at all. Wang Kai just took a brief look and found out all the situation clearly.

Chen Wen's army did not withdraw from Yangzhou, but all teleported to Lujiang County. Now millions of troops are distributed in the counties on the border between Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, and are ready to face each other. After Yang Tian learned the news, he was very confused. Does Chen Wen feel that he can defend Lujiang County? Not to mention Yang Tian, ​​even anyone else thinks this is impossible after hearing this. Before, the entire Yangzhou could not compete with Baiyun City. Now there is only one Lujiang County, how can it be compared with Baiyun City, which occupies the southern bank of Yangzhou and Jiujiang County on the north bank?

Yang Tian’s doubts did not last long. At noon that day, he received another news, that is, the Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao led his troops to march millions to the junction of Jingzhou and Yangzhou. According to the news sent back by the Dark Soul Organization, these troops were all elite forces under Liu Biao’s command, including Huang Zu’s fleet, which also sailed from Jiangxia County to Lujiang County.

At this point, if Yang Tian didn't know what Chen Wen was planning, then Yang Tian would just buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

Chen Wen's millions of troops were indeed not enough to compete with Baiyun City, but if it was added with a huge Jingzhou and Jingzhou, which had already integrated the power of the whole province, Yang Tian couldn't help but be a little afraid. The reason why Chen Wen gave up and made it more difficult to attack Shouchun City was definitely related to Liu Biao's that even before, Chen Wen asked the main army to evacuate from various Yangzhou towns, which was probably inseparable from Jingzhou.

The border between Yangzhou and Yizhou is very long, but Liu Bian only chose the southernmost line. From here, the Jingzhou army can directly enter Yuzhang County. At present, the defense forces of each city in Yuzhang County are only one of the few city guards, and there are also some player forces. After all, these are just the military forces of Yizhou before. Now they suddenly have to defend three times the territory of the original territory. This army is a bit irritating. If they encounter the Jingzhou army's full attack, it will be difficult for Baiyun City to block the opening west of Yangzhou.

In fact, Yang Tian could also guess that Liu Biao's army on the border was probably just to intimidate Baiyun City to prevent Baiyun City from extermination of Chen Wen's force. However, Yang Tian could not ignore it because no one could tell whether Liu Biao would suddenly mobilize a large number of troops to attack Yangzhou. If there is another adjustment at that time, a large area of ​​territory would probably be lost. Therefore, at least three main legions must be transferred to Yuzhang County to ensure that the Jingzhou army cannot break through the Yangzhou defense line in a short period of time.
