Prime Minister take care

Chapter 143 The wind cleared away the smoke and dust
Beside the small river, Huan Zhong ran towards the water source. After experiencing the tense escape, he never felt that even this ordinary river water became sweet.

Throwing away the armor, the remaining soldiers are defeated.The [-] Liang soldiers who were originally following him were scattered during the escape, and now there are only more than [-] people following him.

"General, what should we do now?"

The Chu army followed closely, aiming at Huan Zhong's head.Huan Zhong washed his face with water from the river and regained some consciousness.

"Go back to Wancheng. As long as Wancheng is here, we will not lose."

Huan Zhong's eyes lit up.There is a mountain of military rations and armaments in Wancheng, and there are [-] Liang troops in Rang County.As long as he can return to Wancheng, then Huan Zhong can regain his footing. The worst he can do is abandon Rang County and let Jin Xin lead his army to withdraw. As long as he can hold on to Wancheng, then Liang Jun will still be able to fight.

After retreating from Leihe, the closest Liang Jun stronghold was Qingyang County.But it is meaningless for Huan Zhong to go to Qingyang County at this moment. The Chu army is behind him, and Cai Tong's thoughts about Wancheng are not limited to one day or two.

"go!"

Huan Zhong no longer hesitated, the military situation was on fire, and he could no longer control much at the moment.Although his body was very weak and almost collapsed, Huan Zhong still took a breath and wanted to march as quickly as possible.

The journey was difficult, and the fighting spirit was high when we arrived. The hundreds of miles of journey seemed to fly by in an instant.When he returned, he was defeated like a mountain, with no food and supplies, and was hungry and cold. Every step he took

"General, the front is Huyang County. When we get there, we can take a break."

The deputy general looked at the outline of the county in front of him, tears in his dry eyes.Wandering on the edge of life and death, every day is full of fear.

Huyang County is a transportation hub, to the north is Wancheng, and to the east is the territory of the Shenxiao Sect.As long as they entered Huyang County, Huan Zhong and the others could breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Hu Yangcheng in sight, you only need to climb the last hillside to reach it.In just an instant, the flag that lit up behind the hillside made all Liang Junbing turn the light of hope in their eyes into despair.

Han Fuhua stood on the top of the slope from behind, followed by ten thousand Dongzhou soldiers.

Dongzhou soldiers are different from ordinary soldiers in the army. They do not wear armor and have only a small amount of logistics needs. They march quickly and have no bows, arrows or javelins, but they are able to conduct long-range operations and are very powerful.

Han Fuhua's eyes wandered among Liang Jun, and finally fell under Huan Zhong's banner, and he shouted loudly.

"Our army is stationed here under the orders of the Prime Minister. Where is Huan Zhong?"

No one can imagine why so many Dongzhou soldiers suddenly appeared in this place where Liang Jun marched?But Huan Zhong had a more terrifying thought in his mind.

If the Shu army can get here, it means that Yang Xian has broken through the Rangxian defense line, and this is simply impossible.

Huan Zhong did not believe that Yang Xian's [-] Shu army could defeat Rang County's [-] Liang army in such a short period of time.What's more, there are also Jin Xin's [-] black troops among them.

Even if Yang Xian used the lives of the soldiers to grind one by one, he still couldn't climb the city wall of Rang County at this time.

As soon as he thought of this, the terrible thought in Huan Zhong's heart turned into a long sound and suddenly let go.

"Where is Jin Xin?"

"General Jin Xin and the [-] soldiers of the Heihu Army have surrendered to our army in obedience to justice." Han Fuhua looked at the general under the banner, and his tone increased by three points, "Huan Zhong, you are no match for my Prime Minister. The Prime Minister thinks You are old, so retreat quickly to avoid making mistakes!"

"Little Yang Xian, you hate me!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Huan Zhong's mouth, and finally Huan Zhong couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.

"General, General!"

Qingyang County.

The beam-shaped banner at the top of the city fell down and was replaced by the banner of the Chu army.

Cai Tong stood on the city wall of Qingyang County, looking at the farmhouses and houses in the distance and the vast roads, feeling no comfort in his heart.In Nanyang County, Qingyang County is the largest city after Wancheng, Xiangcheng and Rang County.Since Jin Xiu defected to Huan Wu and Liang Jun invaded Nanyang, Qingyang County was lost from Cai Tong's hands.

It has been five or six years since Cai Tong stood on the city wall of Qingyang County and looked at the distant scenery like this.

Qingyang County has indeed changed, and Huan Wu seems to have been busy in recent years, vigorously rectifying Nanyang's officialdom and reorganizing its internal affairs.In Cai Tong's impression, the places outside Qingyang County that should have been barren hills have now turned into large tracts of fertile farmland.

"Master Hou, it's not good!"

Wen Qing and several generals hurriedly rushed to the city wall.Now that Qingyang City has been captured by the Chu army, the intelligence channels ahead have been opened.

"what happened?"

The long-lost tranquility was broken, but there was no anger on Cai Tong's face.Wen Qing has always been steady, Cai Tong really didn't know what could make him so flustered.

"We learned from the captured Liang Army prisoners that Jin Xin of Rang County defected to Yang Xian. With the help of Jin Xin and the [-] black army, the entire northern part of Nanyang is now under Yang Xian's control. "

"what?"

In just a short moment, doubts, struggles, and unwillingness flashed across Cai Tong's face. Finally, all the emotions turned into a long laugh.

"What a Yang Zizhan! Huan Zhong and I fought like a river of blood, both sides were hurt. He effortlessly took advantage of the situation."

Cai Tong didn't say a word, and he wouldn't say it in front of Wen Qing and others.

Yang Xian's annoying appearance is exactly the same as Yang You'an.

Equally hateful!the same
"hateful!"

Cai Tong cursed angrily and slapped the city wall with his palm, shattering half of the wall stacks.

"Master Marquis, what should we do now? General Mo will not be able to swallow this breath."

The Chu general who followed Wen Qing said angrily, and then there was a chorus of agreement.

"I took the Qingyang County by fighting with Liang Jun to the death. But Yang Xian took advantage of this advantage."

The Chu army and Yang Xian had old grudges. On that day, Yang Xian broke into Qingshui County and surrendered Fan Qing's old troops.Later, he openly led the Shu army to appear in Wuning County to fight against the Chu army. He simply ignored them.

Seeing Huan Zhong's defeat, they could capture Wancheng as long as they pursued the victory.Who knew that at this time, Yang Xian was already sitting in Wancheng, looking at them with a smile, as if he was watching a play.

"Wenqing, what do you think?"

Cai Tong ignored the group of angry generals, but instead focused on Wen Qing.As a general of the Chu State, he has great influence among the generals.

Cai Tong naturally knew that he had nothing to do with Yang Xian at this time.He fought fiercely with Huan Zhong several times, and the Chu army still had [-] to [-] troops, but they were all long-fighting troops and needed rest.But Yang Xian is recharging his energy and waiting for work.

"The general believes that it is not appropriate for our army to engage in a major war with the Shu army at this time. My lord can send a letter to congratulate Yang Xian and test the Shu army's movements at the same time."

However, just as Wen Qing finished speaking, smoke and dust began to rise above the official road in the distance.

Cai Tong squinted his eyes, looked at the group of Shu army cavalry, and snorted coldly.

"It seems Yang Xian has already thought ahead of us!"
