Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 246 Besieging Xi Jin
At this time, Xi Jin and Tuoba Si had already reconciled. When they learned that the Song army on the other side had not retreated, but had a full-scale offensive posture, Xi Jin asked mockingly and surprised: "That little emperor from the south Could it be that you are crazy?"

The new king is just established, don't think about consolidating power but continue to stay on the front line...

This is extremely strange no matter in the Han regime or the Hu regime.

"Ahem, cough, don't underestimate him."

Tuoba Si, who had mobilized his blood due to chasing the Shangdang Song army before, was coughing more and more seriously, but because he was also a sick child before, it was not obvious compared to now.

"A person who dared to lead troops to attack Tongwan City in his teens, and was chosen by Liu Yu and Liu Yifu, is he a mediocre person?"

Tuoba Si had heard about what Liu Yizhen and Hu Xia did in Guanzhong before, and he didn't think that such a person would suddenly attack Hebei rashly.

"Get ready, ahem."

Tuoba Si made some weak arrangements: "Especially deploy more soldiers and horses in the east of the river to prevent the Song army from diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

Seeing that Tuoba Si paid so much attention to it, Xi Jin also withdrew a little contempt, and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty really thinks that the little emperor will really continue the Northern Expedition?"

"Ah."

Tuoba Si felt a burst of pain in his lungs without saying a word now, and when he coughed violently in the middle of the night, there was faint blood oozing out, which let him know that his time limit might be approaching.

So facing Liu Yizhen's attack on him, he was also extremely irritable.

At this time, the situation that Tuoba Si most hopes to see is actually Liu Song’s retreat, or being attracted by He Lianbo to go to the western front. When he has time, he will go back to the rear to help Tuoba Tao complete the transition of power. In this way, Tuoba Si feels that the mission is complete .

Now the Song army's full-scale attack is dragging him to the front line, which makes Tuoba Si have a bad feeling.

Liu Yizhen on the opposite side...

It's like forcing him!
Force him to stay, drain his body and time!

"I hope it's just my illusion."

Before Tuoba Si went to bet with Liu Yu on the lives of both parties, and he won the bet.

Now there is another person who seems to bet on his life with the fortune of the country, but he can't afford to gamble.

"What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd..."

At this time, Tuoba Si also felt a sense of powerlessness, so he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

At this time, the morale of the Song army on the other side of the river was high.

Unlike before, when the army moved forward in unison, the current Song army often only has a few thousand people at a time.

They rushed to Hebei by boat through many piers in the lower reaches of the Dahe River, and attacked the military points of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north of the Dahe River.

The Northern Wei generals in these important military areas had to ask Xi Jin for help, but when Xi Jin arrived, the Song army would retreat like a tide.

Because of the Queyue formation invented by Liu Yu to guard the riverside wharf, with the cooperation of water and land, even in the face of the Northern Wei cavalry, they can calmly evacuate.

And once they reached the river, the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty could only look at the ocean and sigh.

In just half a month, the Song army launched dozens of large and small attacks towards the opposite bank, which was more than three times a day.

The generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty who pursued the Song army also went from excitement at the beginning to anger later to helplessness at the end.

"What is General Song doing on the opposite side? Is he going to play house with us?"

Fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was exhausted by running around for half a month.

But everyone didn't dare to let the Song army attack.

Now the Song Army's combat power is still considerable. Once left alone, many important military sites on the north bank of the Dahe River may really be removed, and the entire north bank will be surrendered.

In fact, the Northern Wei Dynasty had also conceived of giving up the north bank of the Great River before. Xi Jin even wanted to lead the Song army to the plains to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But that was when Liu Yu was alive.

At that time, everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty was in danger.Not to mention giving up the north bank of the Dahe River, but giving up Hebei, as long as Liu Yu can be driven away, the war will be won.

But now that everyone knows that Liu Yu has passed away, they naturally don't care about Song Jun's threat.

Some people even chanted the slogan of counterattacking the Central Plains!
With such a mentality, it is understandable that the Northern Wei Dynasty was unwilling to give up the north bank of the Great River, and instead fought for every inch of land with the Song army.

What they didn't know was that such actions of the Northern Wei Dynasty also fell into Liu Yizhen's eyes.

"Aren't you willing to give up?"

Not only was Liu Yizhen not discouraged after hearing the news, but he showed excitement on the contrary.

Wang Xiu was by Liu Yizhen's side day and night at this time, and told him a lot of new changes in Guanzhong. Seeing Liu Yizhen so excited was a little strange: "Isn't this a proof of the strength of the Northern Wei Dynasty? Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

Liu Yizhen raised his head and looked at the north bank of the Dahe River, his eyes became deep: "Chang Shi, the easiest thing to destroy in this world is not weakness and ignorance, but arrogance and pride!"

"Before the Northern Wei Dynasty, because of the late emperor, he was extremely cautious. Xi Jin had a hundred thousand troops, but he didn't dare to move out easily, and Tuoba Si's imperial conquest was just sticking to the confrontation."

"now what?"

"Now they clearly know that as long as we give up the north bank of the Great River, our army will fall into an embarrassing situation, but they are still unwilling to retreat. It's just because they feel that the late emperor has collapsed, so they can break their arms with our army..."

Liu Yizhen couldn't suppress his smile while talking.

"almost."

"Northern Wei... will definitely die from their arrogance!"

Wang Xiu was a little shocked after hearing this.

At the same time, there are some expectations.

Will the Northern Wei Dynasty really fall into the trap that Liu Yizhen dug for them?
north shore...

Xi Jin returned without success again, and the irritability in his heart had already made him miserable.

"Song Jun... damn it!"

Besides cursing, Xi Jin didn't know how to express his irritability.

Now the daily running around makes him, a Xianbei noble who lives on horseback, a little short of breath, let alone other people?

If all the boats hadn't been taken away by the Song army, and Xi Jin was afraid of fighting the Song army who was proficient in water, he would have led his troops to the south bank long ago.

At this moment, even Xi Jin, the general who formulated the strategy of "leading the Song army to the plain", wanted to fight to the south at the beginning. It can only be said that the Northern Wei Dynasty was indeed a little swayed at this time.

Before Xi Jin returned to Yecheng, he saw another scout heading straight to the camp of the Chinese army where he was.

"Master Tianbu! Huai County! Huai County has another Song army attacking, and the banner should be Song General Tan Daoji!"

Huai County...

Tan Daoji...

Xi Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously thinking of some unpleasant memories.

"The whole army is ready! Advance to Huai County with all your strength!"

Ah this?

Xi Jin's lieutenant reminded Xi Jin: "General, our army has not rested for a day and a night. Now we are exhausted, should we rest for a while?"

"What are you afraid of!"

Xi Jin was a little dissatisfied with the deputy general's caution.

"Now Song Jun sees me running faster than rabbits! And there are only a few thousand people every time!"

"What's more, that guy Tan Daoji played me repeatedly, I must take him down this time!"

Xi Jin forcefully urged the army to continue to advance towards Huai County. When he came to the vicinity of Huai County, he saw the Song Army who had not yet retreated in the future, and excitedly chased after the Song Army.

Seeing that Xi Jin was catching up, Song Jun hurriedly retreated, but Xi Jin became more and more excited and chased him more and more urgently.

Just as he was about to catch up, the sound of countless horseshoes bursting like thunder made Xi Jin react.

Xi Jin looked up in horror, only to find that there were densely packed Song troops on the left and right!

Only then did he realize that he was surrounded!
