 Zhangling County.

Yue Fei, who was ordered by Jia Xu, ended the battle of Nanjun in a tangled and painful way. After leaving enough troops in Xiangyang, he personally led 40,000 elite troops to rescue Zhangling County.

Zhangling County is the east gate of Jingbei, and once the war between Qin and Yu breaks out, the Zhangling Army will definitely become a battlefield.

The garrison in Zhangling County was only 20,000, and the terrain was not dangerous. It was obviously impossible to block the Yuzhou Army, which was several times larger than our own, with the city. So Jia Xu ordered Yue Fei to lead the army to Zhangling. in case for need.

After receiving the news, Yue Fei decisively led his 40,000 elite troops to Zhangling without stopping, but he was confused when he arrived.

 Zhao Kuangyin withdrew his troops and rebelled against Yuan Zili. The Qin army won without a fight. The battle was over as soon as it started.

After learning the news, Yue Fei also realized that his trip was in vain, not to mention how depressed he felt.

You must know that in order to come to rescue Zhangling County, he gave up Nanjun, which was within easy reach. As a result, the war ended as soon as others came. So wouldn't it be meaningless for him to abandon Nanjun?

Xin Qiji, the governor of Zhangling County, saw Yue Fei's face turning green and red, and couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Brother Pengju, our army will win without a fight, and the soldiers will not die again. You should be happy. "

 “Oh, yeah, yeah.”

Yue Fei responded with a forced smile, but he didn't look happy at all.

Yue Fei is not a war madman who only wants to make meritorious deeds. He just feels that he has paid so much for Nanjun, but what he has given up has no meaning at all, which makes him confused for a while.

 “Report…Master Jia Xu sent a letter from a flying pigeon…”

 “Bring it up quickly.”

Xin Qiji said hurriedly. After taking it from the soldier, he looked at it and said to Yue Fei with a smile: "Zhao Kuangyin promised to cede the three southeastern counties of Runan to our army. Mr. Jia ordered me to go and receive it. Brother Pengju, I will not accompany you any longer." ”

 “Brother Jiaxuan, you go and do your work first.” Yue Fei cupped his hands and said.

Not long after Xin Qiji left, Yue Fei also received a letter from Jia Xu. After reading it, he was so angry that he tore up the letter and cursed: "Jia Wenhe deceived people too much. I will impeach him with my lord."

Jia Xu told Yue Fei in the letter that he could lead his army back to continue the attack on Nanjun, but things were different now.

Although the military strength of Nanjun has not increased much now, Liu Xiu has returned to Nanjun. With Liu Xiu in Nanjun, the generals of the famous families all obey his orders, and the difficulty of the strategy is definitely more than ten times higher than before.

From Yue Fei's point of view, Jia Xu was deliberately torturing him. He had given Yue Fei ten days to capture Jiangling and completely expel Liu Xiu from Jingbei, but Jia Xu's edict made Yue Fei give up what was so easy for him. South County.

After Yue Fei came to Zhangling County with the overall situation in mind, he found that it made no difference whether he came or not. Then why did you, Jia Xu, give this order indiscriminately? Isn’t this what you feel after eating enough?

Wenpin also knew that what Yue Fei said was angry, but Jia Xu, out of caution for the overall situation, ruined the Qin army's opportunity to occupy Nanjun. This is also an indisputable fact, so he asked with a wry smile: "Prefect, what should we do now?"

 “Huh, what can I do?”

Yue Fei snorted coldly and said with an unhappy look on his face: "Go back to Xiangyang and continue to attack Nanjun."

In this way, just a few days after Yue Fei's 40,000-strong army arrived in Zhangling, they returned home and returned to Xiangyang, where they continued to attack Nanjun.

 The scholar opens his mouth, and the general runs and breaks his legs. This is the case.

Liu Xiu, who was far away in Jiangling, didn't know that Yue Fei was back.

Yue Fei was not the only one who made a wasted trip, Liu Xiu was the same.

 At the beginning, when Liu Xiu received news of the crisis in Nanjun on his way to conquer Jingnan, he was also in a critical period of conquering Jingnan.

Considering that Jiangling was the strongest barrier against the Qin army, if Nanjun fell, it would be difficult to fight back to Jiangbei, so Liu Xiu decisively ordered Deng Yu to continue to attack Jingnan on his behalf, while he himself took the Ten thousand troops returned to rescue Nanjun. Liu Xiu had just returned to Jiangling from Jingnan, only to find that Yue Fei had withdrawn his troops inexplicably, which made Liu Xiu a little confused.

At first, Liu Xiu thought that the Qin army was trying to trick him and wanted to lure him out of the city to ambush him, so he did not dare to go out of the city to pursue him.

But later when it was known that Yuan Shu had attacked Sizhou and caused Yue Fei to retreat, it was already too late. Although Yue Fei left, Xiangyang was completely covered with iron barrels. With the strength of Nanjun, it was impossible to counterattack Xiangyang.

The Qin army has retreated, and the crisis in Nanjun has been resolved. Liu Xiu is also preparing to return to Jingnan. After all, the four counties in Jingnan are the first springboard for him to conquer the world, so there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

“Cen Peng, after I leave, Nanjun will be handed over to you.”

Liu Xiu grabbed Cen Peng's hand and warned with a serious face: "Remember, the garrison of Jiangling City must not be less than 20,000. It will not matter if all the cities in Nanjun fall. As long as Jiangling City is still there, our army is here." Jiangbei has a chance to make a comeback.”

“I will definitely keep this in mind,” Cen Peng said solemnly, cupping his fists.

Liu Xiu nodded, and then ordered: "I now order Cen Peng to be the chief general, Cai Mao to be the deputy general, and Kuai Liang to be the military advisor. He will lead 25,000 troops to guard Nanjun without any mistakes."

Cai Mao and Kuai Liang stood up at the same time after hearing the words, and together with Cen Peng took the order: "Nuo."

When Liu Xiucai led his army to leave Nanjun, he left most of his troops behind Nanjun and took only 10,000 troops with him to attack Jingnan.

 After Liu Xiu entered Jingnan, his territory continued to expand and his military strength also continued to increase. Jingnan's military strength even exceeded the remaining troops in Nanjun.

However, under Yue Fei's continuous conquests in Nanjun, Liu Xiu's troops and horses left behind were less than one-third of the original number. If the Jingzhou family had not sent troops to help defend the city, I am afraid that Liu Xiu would not have been able to return to Jiangling. .

Now, although Liu Xiu is returning to Jingnan, he has kept the 10,000 troops he brought back. But even with these 10,000 troops, the total strength of Nanjun is only 25,000, which is obviously no match for the 60,000 Qin troops in Xiangyang. , so Liu Xiucai asked Cen Peng to just defend Jiangling City.

Jiangling is the heart of Nanjun. As long as Jiangling City is still there, even if all the other cities in Nanjun are lost, the Jingzhou Army will still have a chance to make a comeback. But once Jiangling City is lost, Nanjun cannot be saved even if the other cities are in hand.

After explaining everything, Liu Xiu took his 500-man guard camp and set off on the way back to Jingnan. However, as soon as the group arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, they received news that Yue Fei was once again leading an army to attack Nanjun.

“My lord, Yue Fei led an army of 50,000 men and suddenly attacked. The county guards were beaten and unable to catch up. Now four counties have fallen. Yue Fei’s army will soon come to Jiangling City again.”

"What?"

Liu Xiu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect Yue Fei to come back so soon. But since Yue Fei has come back, it proves that the war between Qin and Yu is over. But is this too soon?

It has only been a few days. How could a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people end so quickly?

After thinking hard to no avail, Liu Xiu ordered in a deep voice: "Inquire immediately about all the information about Yuzhou. I want to know why Yue Fei came back so soon."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

After the spies left, Zhang Yun stepped forward and asked, "My lord, are we still going back to Jingnan now?"

"If you don't want to go back, you should return to Jiangling immediately. In addition, you sent an order to Deng Yu, asking him to mobilize 15,000 troops to return to Jiangling."

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "This time Yue Fei is coming fiercely. It is difficult to defend Jiangling with the current strength alone. We must increase the number of defenders to stop Yue Fei."
