When Xu Wen heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Although the Tian and An Zhi Rebellion has gradually declined under Yang Xingmi's thundering methods, another hidden worry has gradually emerged in Huainan Town. After the Battle of Qingkou, the pressure on the Xuanwu Army in the north was much smaller. After the external pressure was reduced, various internal contradictions emerged. Now Yang Xingmi is over 50 years old and is seriously ill in bed. He is a bit lonely and weak, without powerful relatives. The generals in the outside town are often unruly.

People, although Zhu Yanshou, Tian and An Renyi, the most prominent of them, have been killed or the situation is not good, but there are still many other military generals with heavy troops. It would be fine when Yang Xingmi was alive. If he was gone, who would know if these people would become the next Tian and An Renyi? As the central general of Huainan, Xu Wen, whether for his own personal interests or for the interests of Yang Xingmi's heir, it is necessary to make good friends with important officials like Li Yu.

"Then we will leave the city tomorrow and rush to Lingting and hand over the letter from the King of Wu to Wang Zhaodan, so that we can lead our troops to Wuhu as soon as possible to meet with the young master." Xu Wen thought for a moment and asked. He also knew that most of his position at this time was from Yang Xingmi. If Yang Xingmi passed away, only by holding Yang Wo's thigh tightly could he have a way out, because if the position of the Huainan Jiedu was replaced by another military general in the foreign town, those people had already had a team around them for many years and had no place at all, so they decided to rush to Yang Wo as soon as possible.

Yan Keqiu nodded and said, "No, but the military situation is changing unpredictable. Wang Zhaoyao is a foreign general and has the right to kill. It is better for the general to act according to the opportunity tomorrow."

The next day, Xu Wen led his personal soldiers to Wang Maozhang's camp in Lingting. Yan Keqiu took the excuse to handle most of the chores behind and stayed. When Xu Wen rushed to Lingting, he went straight to Wang Maozhang's tent. After the two met, Xu Wen exchanged a few greetings, then took out Yang Xingmi's handwritten letter and handed it to Wang Maozhang.

After Xu Wen handed over the letter, he went aside. Wang Maozhang's face became more and more gloomy as he read the letter, and he didn't dare to disturb him. After a while, Wang Maozhang finished reading the letter, folded it and put it aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Youya, do you know what King Yang said in this letter?"

As a general in charge of the army during Xu Wen's trip, Yang Xingmi had instructed him about his strategy of using troops. Although he had not read this letter and could guess it at this time, he still pretended not to know it and stood up and responded: "This letter was written by the King of Wu, how dare you read it?"

Wang Maozhang nodded and pointed to the letter, "This letter asked me to divide my troops to Wuhu on a boat, join forces with Taimeng to attack the fields, and then return to the army to eliminate An Renyi." At this point, Wang Maozhang stopped talking, walked to the other side, stared at Xu Wen's eyes, and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"This!" Xu Wen couldn't help but speak in a mess, and at the same time lowered his head and thought, avoiding the other party's scorching gaze. If it were common sense, he should naturally answer the order to execute Yang Xingmi without any discount. But since Wang Maozhang asked at this time, it was obviously a different idea in the other party's mind, so he sought the opinions of Xu Wen, a general with a 10,000 army. Should he answer at this time? How to answer is very knowledgeable. Thinking of this, Xu Wen subconsciously looked at his side and behind, looking for Yan Keqiu's figure.

Seeing that Xu Wen had been in a long while but did not answer, Wang Maozhang said impatiently: "The two states of Xuanrun are supporting each other. Now the Lingting Pavilion, Qu'a Zhuluo has not been pulled out, but the gate crosses the river and attacks the bandits' confidants. It is like the gate has not been opened, and the gate has not been opened, and they are entering the wall. If the master holds a sword and chases each other, he will die. The ancients said that the king will not accept the order. I was trusted by the King of Wu and led tens of thousands of troops, so I will not be able to bring the soldiers to the treacherous places."

Seeing that Wang Maozhang was so bold, Xu Wen directly refused to accept Yang Xingmi's orders, but he didn't say it was a life-threatening situation. He didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, the other party was far better than himself in terms of strength, power, and status. Finally, he finally put up a sentence and said: "This matter is of great importance, and Wang Zhaodan should be cautious."

Wang Maozhang snorted coldly and said, "I will write to the King of Wu. If you explain this matter clearly, Xu Youya only needs to obey orders and do it." There is a disdain in his words.

Wang Maozhang immediately explained everything to Yang Xingmi while retrieving the troops out of the barriers, replacing the reinforcements led by Xu Wen, and lowering his flag in the camp and replacing them with Xu Wen's general flag. He released a rumor that the Huainan army saw that Lingting had a long battle was unfavorable, so he was preparing to take a boat to Wuhu, attack the fields together, and then deal with An Renyi. In fact, the troops that retreated during the day returned to the camp at night. Wang Maozhang asked two groups of soldiers to squeeze in the tent of a group of soldiers on weekdays, preparing to lure An Renyi out to fight the decisive battle.

An Renyi stood on the wall of the Runzhou Army, looking at the Huainan Army camp in the distance. The two armies have been fighting these days. Although there has been no fierce battle, nearly 20,000 troops have built their bases in the field. The daily food, fodder and wealth consumed are amazing. His family is as thick as a field, and he is already stretched. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Fang sent Wang Foer to help some of them some time ago, he would probably not be able to hold on. But even so, the complaints of the soldiers under his command were getting higher and higher, especially after winning many outpost battles, the calls for an immediate decisive battle were getting higher and higher, especially those soldiers inherited from Lu Fang. Their continuous battles have been nearly half a year, and the land property in their families has suffered huge losses and the morale of the army has become more and more floating, which makes An Renyi very troubled.

"General, look! The chess of the enemy's opponent has been changed, from Wang to Xu. After hearing the news from the whistle, Wang Maozhang has led his troops to Wuhu on a boat. The enemy general we are facing is Xu Wen, the commander of the right yamen under Yang Xingmi." A general said, pointing to the military flag of the enemy camp in the distance, with an excited voice.

An Renyi did not answer, and his eyes were still staring at the enemy camps in the distance. In the morning sun, the soldiers of the two armies lazily fucked the water by the river, and also enjoyed the rare warmth in winter. After these days, the two sides had reached such a tacit understanding, and no one attacked the soldiers who caught water on the other side. An Renyi's heart was full of thoughts: a few days ago, he learned that the Huainan Army led by Taiwan and Mongolia defeated Tian in the battle of Guangde, and Tian Zhengling

The soldiers retreated northward, so there was no hope for reinforcements from Xuanzhou to give him any hope. If Wang Maozhang really led his troops to Wuhu on a boat, and Li Shenfu retreated from the upper reaches, Tian would have fallen under the siege of three large armies, and the commanders of these three armies were all first-class generals in the world. Tian's failure was just a matter of time. Even if he rushed to reinforcements now, it would be of little significance.

"What if he can defeat the enemy in front of him?" An Renyi continued to think. If he could defeat the enemy in front of him, then there would be no gap between Changzhou and his views. The military supplies gathered in Changzhou city to supply Huainan army to provide the Huainan army will naturally fall into his hands. The supply line of the Huainan army led by Taiwan and Mongolia was cut off. Although he could solve the problem by looting and seizing local food reserves in Xuanzhou, in this way, both the speed of the march and the dispersed army were heavy generations that must be paid.

Price. Even if Tian was destroyed in the end, he could still use Chang and Runzhou as a gift to make Lu Fang, which would at least ensure the safety of his family and relatives and old friends. The more An Renyi thought about it, the more he felt that defeating the enemy was a very tempting choice because Wang Maozhang was away. As for Xu Wen, he was gorgeously ignored. An Renyi, who had a high opinion of himself, did not think that this little Yuhou who had been hanging in the palace of the King of Wu would cause any trouble to him in the field. However, An Renyi decided to use a small trick to weaken the other party at the beginning.

"Come here, send 300 people to attack the enemy soldiers who fetched water, and at the same time, order the soldiers in the camp to eat in advance." An Renyi ordered in a deep voice, and at the same time, a silent smile appeared on his face, like a tiger before eating.

Zhong Anping slowly filled his wooden barrel with water. The morning sun shone on him, warm and comfortable. He raised his head and let the warm sunlight shine on his face. The comfortable feeling seemed to penetrate into his bones. Zhong Anping closed his eyes comfortably. More than twenty feet apart, seven or eight soldiers from the Runzhou Army were also fetching water. After the first few days of small battles, the two sides formed a tacit understanding. As long as the other party did not cross the middle line of the small river, they would tolerate the other party's actions of drawing water. After all, only this river near this place is the only living water, a better source of drinking water. People and animals need to drink water. Since both sides cannot occupy this river, they are unwilling to pay more than a dozen lives every day as the price of drinking water, naturally forming tacit understanding is the only choice.

"There are fishes, Anping, come and help!" A cheerful shout woke Zhong Anping who was in a daze. He opened his eyes and his companion stood on the rocks by the river, holding a river fish struggling desperately with both hands. The fish's slippery body was jumping in the hands of his companion, as if he would jump into the water again in the next second.

"Don't be idle, come and help, otherwise the fish soup will not be yours." The friend's shouting louder. Zhong Anping quickly ran over, holding a wooden barrel with half a bucket of water in his hand. The friend quickly put the fish into the bucket. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with confidence: "You can't run away now. The fish is very fat, afraid it's not weighing three or five pounds. We can have a good meal tonight."
