end song

Dawn.

Outside Lu Wende's tent, two soldiers were whispering.

The Sixth General came here last night and talked all night, but he still hasn't slept.

I'm afraid that something serious happened, something bad happened.

Hush, be careful to punish us for the crime of confusing the morale of the army...

The two immediately quieted down, not daring to speak any more.

The barracks farther away were still peaceful and orderly.

Chen Yuanbin woke up, straightened his robes and walked out of the tent. The autumn wind was blowing on his face, and he felt refreshed.

Looking up, the scenery in Longzhong is unique. The mountains are not high but elegant, and the water is not deep but clear. It reminds people of Zhuge Liang's work in Nanyang.

He couldn't help reciting Li Bai's poems with his hands behind his back.

The red rises and falls, and the crouching dragon wins Kongming.When it was Nanyang, Longmu was self-cultivated.The fish and the water are in harmony, and the wind and clouds are everywhere.

What made him even more emotional was the few sentences that he didn't read later.

When Zhuge Liang was not yet prominent, Cui Zhouping praised him the most.Now Chen Yuanbin also claims to be a commoner who serves the country and cares for the people. With the support of Lu Wende, he may not be able to be famous forever and achieve great things in the future...

gentlemen.A soldier stepped forward and interrupted Chen Yuanbin's leisurely mood, saying: "Please come to the big tent to discuss matters, sir."

Now? Haven't eaten yet...

Please go to the big tent immediately to discuss matters, sir.

Chen Yuanbin immediately felt that Lu Wende valued him, and was quite encouraged.

Shaobao wants to see me as soon as he wakes up?
The messenger kept a straight face and didn't say much, just raised his hand to signal him to go over.

All the way into the big tent, he seemed to have stepped on something, Chen Yuanbin didn't have time to pay attention to it, first saluted Lu Wende politely, then turned around to see Lu Wenhuan was also there.

The six generals also...

Before he finished speaking, Lu Wende strode forward, swung his arm as thick as a tree trunk, and slapped Chen Yuanbin on the face.

Snapped!
Chen Yuanbin fell out, his eyes went dark, and he felt that his neck was almost broken due to the huge force, and then he felt the sharp pain on his face.

I will smash you idiot!Lu Wende cursed loudly.

After a while, Chen Yuanbin's sight gradually became clear. He knelt on the ground, looked at Lu Wende in astonishment, and recalled his recent plans, but he still didn't know where the mistakes were.

Shaobao, I...

Damn it!I have long said that the strategy of the dog hozen is not simple. If you insist on saying it is impossible, impossible, I will spend money to hire such an idiot like you!
After listening for a while, Chen Yuanbin realized that the dog monkey was referring to Li Xia, but he didn't understand how Li Xia could break the situation.

Did Li Ni break through? Students...

Breakthrough? Lu Wende cursed a few more words, and finally his anger began to dissipate.

At least Li Ni hasn't broken through yet.

This day, messengers continued to send back more detailed battle reports.

The Yuan army stationed in the Lumen Mountain area has begun to provide information on the Tang army to the Song army.

Lu Wende summoned the generals to discuss, and Chen Yuanbin finally gradually figured out what happened.

Shi Jun led a force of [-] to [-] troops, and walked from Chang'an to Shangzhou and Wuguan...

Ten thousand or twenty thousand?
It's not clear yet.

How did the rebels have so many troops?
It is estimated that Li Ni has nearly [-] people. After deducting the garrisons in various places, the troops needed to defend against the Mongolian Yuan, and the troops in Xingqing Mansion and Hetao, at most [-] people can be gathered to attack the Song Dynasty... At present, it is indeed [-]. More than ten thousand people.

...

Lu Wende was furious and shouted, "Didn't you say that he only has [-] to [-] sailors?"
Shaobao appeases his anger, then Shi Jun must be leading infantry.

Chen Yuanbin raised his hand timidly, and said: Jiangling Mansion's offensive has never been too violent, Jiang Cai may not be leading a skilled navy.

Lu Wende gave him a cold look, eyes full of distrust.

Instead, Lu Wenhuan nodded and said: Yes, the soldiers led by Shi Jun are likely to be good at land and water warfare... let's continue.

After Shi Jun led his troops to leave Wuguan, he bypassed Nanyang...

Lu Wende interrupted again, shouting: How could it be possible to bypass Nanyang so easily?!

Since we negotiated peace with Meng Yuan, Dong Wenbing has drawn a large number of troops from Nanyang to Tongguan.Moreover, since Li Ni went down the Han River in person, almost all the remaining Yuan troops in Nanyang were attracted to the vicinity of the Han River to prevent Li Ni from escaping.Including the Yuan army exploring horses, they all wandered around.

Another point is that after Shi Jun's troops left Wuguan, they did not go south, but went east. They bypassed the Nanyang Yuan army's garrison along the mountain road, passed Tongshan, passed Caizhou, and went straight to Xinyang after being discovered...

Chen Yuanbin was shocked when he heard this.

He recalled that he had said that Li Xia had only two waterways to attack the Song Dynasty. This was true, but the detour from the territory of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty was beyond the topic itself of Li Xia attacking the Song Dynasty.

Impossible, with the speed of the Yuan army's scouting horses, it only takes a few days to deliver these news. It took less than ten days for Shi Jun's troops to go from Nanyang to Xinyang. ?
Lu Wenhuan closed his eyes.

how is this possible?
These people will only shout about Mongolia being strong and Mongolia being strong, but they don’t think about where Mongolia is strong and what are its weaknesses.
Back then Qingyang Mengyan led his army all the way north to Cangzhou, Hebei, only [-] miles away from Yanjing, the Manchu Dynasty was also unbelievable.After unbelievable, they began to clamor to regain the Central Plains.

I don't want to change my mind to think about how the Mongols think about things. I just ask the Mongols why they don't guard the city with their own ideas.

This is like the people of the Song Dynasty who plowed and planted the land and could not allow people to trample on the fields; while the Mongolians grazed, they only cared that the cattle and sheep would not get lost, and they didn't care who stepped on the grassland.

Now, Li Ni's rebel army ran across the Mongolian pastures, but the Song people were still wondering how the Mongols allowed people to trample on their crops.

What did Shi Jun want to do after he captured Xinyang? Chen Yuanbin finally came to his senses, and he blurted out some nonsense with some regret. He should be the one who advised the Lu family brothers.

He swallowed, looked at the map, and tried to calm down.

Xinyang... They can go south to attack Ezhou, or they can go southeast to attack the important town of Taiping.But they can't cross the Yangtze River... Maybe they want to surprise us.

Lu Wenhuan still recognized Chen Yuanbin's intelligence. After all, no one thought that the rebels would detour through Mengyuan territory, including himself.However, it is impossible for the commander-in-chief to cover everything, and the staff still needs to make up for it.

I think he probably wants to go to Ezhou.Lu Wenhuan said: But at times like this, there should be no chaos.Before getting Shi Jun's specific movements, we...

report!
Shouts came from outside the camp.

Lu Wende sat on the main seat with a displeased face and did not speak, and was ordered by Lu Wenhuan to let the messenger in.

...

report!People from Yuan Dynasty in Lumen Mountain sent a letter saying that yesterday afternoon they had spied horses and spotted the movement of the rebel army in Sanligang, more than [-] miles south of Zaoyang...

So fast?
Lu Wenhuan was startled, looked at the map quickly, and said to himself: "It's heading west again, isn't that going straight to Ezhou... is it to relieve Li Ni's siege?"
He has been in Xiangyang, and he doesn't understand Lu Wende's support route from Ezhou to the north, so he hasn't reacted to some things.

Chen Yuanbin exclaimed, saying: Ship!vessel!
Lu Wende, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up suddenly, furious.

Lu Wenhuan pointed at Xiangyang on the map, pointing at the Han River to slide down, and said: Brother, stop the boat in Yicheng?
Ok.

Lu Wende responded dully, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

When he came to surround Li Xia, he traveled all the way up the Han River to Yicheng, abandoned the ship and went overland, bypassing Longzhong to the west and captured Gucheng first.

However, thousands of militiamen and trackers left behind
They were all pulled to Xiangyang. These days, more than half of them have been pulled, but a small half is still in Yicheng.

The dog thief Shi Jun wants to snatch the boat and go down the river?
not necessarily.Chen Yuanbin analyzed: He came from Zaoyang, and it is possible to sneak attack on our back.

If you can't be Lao Tzu's mastermind, I'll kill you with one knife...

Boom, boom, boom, boom.Suddenly there was a faint sound of drums in the distance.

The whistling sound came from far and near.

Li Ni is about to break through!
stop him!
Don't go, Li Ni...

Just now Lu Wende wished he could kill Shi Jun immediately, but now he found that he couldn't tolerate the escape of Li Xia who had been surrounded in a desperate situation.

He was so impatient that he wanted to personally supervise the battle and surround Li Xia.

Zhang Yanran, you bring [-] soldiers and horses to the south to stop Shi Jun.Sixth brother, your people are more familiar with the terrain of Xiangyang, so send a troop to assist him.

Yes.

Let me stop Shi Jun.

After Lu Wende gave his orders, he strode out of the camp. Chen Yuanbin raised his head and glanced at his back, still in shock and terrified.

Standing outside the tent was a messenger from the Yuan Dynasty who came from Lumen Mountain. He happened to see Chen Yuanbin's frightened expression, and immediately thought of buying him...

~~
Zhang Yanran, a general under Lu Wende's command, received the military order, but he was not able to send troops south immediately.

The soldiers needed to be summoned, the logistics needed to be arranged, the route needed to be planned, and the scouting horses needed to be arranged... It was not until the afternoon that Zhang Yanran was finally able to lead the army out of the Longzhong Camp.

He has been paying attention to the battle in the direction of the Han River, hoping that Lu Wende can annihilate Li Ni and secure the victory, lest he go to stop Shi Jun again.

It's a pity that the rebel army led by Li Ni is so powerful that it obviously cannot be defeated in a day or two...

After leaving Xiangyang City, Zhang Yanran saw the Quchang on the east bank of the Han River and the small fortress on Lumen Mountain, and thought to himself that this was not the nail that the Yuan army had driven in Xiangyang.

Not long after the march, the sky darkened.

This Song army had a military order and did not dare to delay. It marched overnight. Fortunately, it was traveling along the Han River.

The scouts scattered in all directions, but no trace of the rebel Shi Junbu was found, which made Zhang Yanran heave a sigh of relief.

At dawn, it was already very close to Yicheng.

Looking from a distance, the front is still peaceful, at least it shows that Shi Jun has not arrived yet...

report!
Zhang Yanran's eyelids twitched, and when he looked around, he saw a group of defeated soldiers fleeing from the woods, waving non-stop because they saw the Song Dynasty flag.

He already guessed what happened.

Report to the general that the rebel army captured the Yicheng Wharf last night, robbed our ships and supplies, and went down the river...
