first-class champion

Yang Xingmi finally couldn't withstand Sun Ru's powerful offensive, and asked Chang'an for help. Under the current situation of such a precarious situation, this is the only way to go.At this time, counselor Yuan Xi once again advised Yang Xingmi to find a way out early.So Yang Xingmi actively transported a large amount of materials to Luzhou.By doing so, one can avoid the sharp edge of the enemy, Yangzhou has been battered for a long time, and the hearts of the people have not yet returned, and the whole army may be wiped out in this decisive battle; the other is that Luzhou was originally the land of Longxing, the city is intact, and the generals are all from Luzhou , although it has not been in business for a long time, it has a small foundation. Once the situation in Yangzhou is unfavorable, there is still a place to retreat.

In the first year of Wende, in March, Sun Ru cleared all the strongholds around Yangzhou, and once again burned the flames of war to Yangzhou, and Yangzhou also changed the king's banner again.Yang Xingmi followed Yuan Xi's suggestion and returned to Luzhou, but Luzhou was not a peaceful place.Luzhou is too close to Yangzhou, and the morale of the whole army is extremely low after the new defeat. As long as Sun Ru pursues it, it will be difficult to stop it.what to do?The only way to go south is to avoid Sun Ru's sharpness, and then rely on the criss-crossing waters in the south of the Yangtze River to defend against danger.It was only in the direction of development that Yang Xingmi and Yuan Xi disagreed.Yang advocated attacking Zhong Chuan in Hongzhou (now part of Nanchang City), while Yuan Xi advocated seeking opportunities from Zhao Yu in Xuanzhou (now part of Xuancheng City).

Yuan Xi pointed out that Zhong Chuan had pacified Jiangxi for a long time, and it was not easy to obtain, while Zhao Yu's foundation in Xuanzhou was still weak, so he was easy to attack, and he might get support from Hezhou Sun Duan and Shangyuan Zhang Xiong.It is really a blessing to have a strategist who knows the situation well, but it is useless if he cannot be adopted.Yang Xingmi is a true leader, he can always listen to the correct opinions of others.

The south bank of the Yangtze River, the mouth of the lake.There are [-] troops stationed here, and the Jiedu envoy of the army is Zhao Yu.Since Sun Ru came to Huainan, the morale of the army has been sluggish, and the soldiers patrolling the river defense every day are also lazy.The generals who fought all the way were killed by Sun Ru on the battlefield. What spirit do the soldiers have?

The soldiers patrolling the river defense were just doing their job as they should, when suddenly they saw a fleet coming from upstream.The Yang character flag hangs high on the bow.The patrol boat sailed back to the camp immediately, and closed the village with its sails down.Yang Xingmi's Yangzhou navy also patrols the river every day.The two sides took the middle line of the Yangtze River as the boundary, and each patrolled one side, and they have always lived in peace.But since Sun Ru crossed the river, every time Yang Xingmi patrolled the river.Zhao Yu's navy had to avoid it for a while, so as not to be provoked by the arrogant Yangzhou navy soldiers. Today they also thought that the Yangzhou navy patrolled the river as usual, but they soon discovered that today is a little different from the past.

This navy fleet is really too huge, no feudal town would be so burned, and such a huge fleet would be sent out for daily river patrols.There are many masts, huge sails cover the sky, and the fleet is mighty, with no head in front and tail behind, swaggering past in front of the Lake Xuanzhou Navy.

If there is a general here, he must have judged the truth after seeing this strange situation, and ordered to send troops immediately.The Yangzhou navy set up a long snake formation, and the Xuanzhou army took advantage of the geographical advantage.As long as the protruding soldiers are cut off from it, the Yangzhou navy will be cut off abruptly, and no balance can be given to both the beginning and the end.However, the Xuanzhou generals at this time just wanted to calm down.

The Yangzhou navy marched down mightily, and Hukou, the most forward position of Xuanzhou's Yangtze River defense line, was "broke through" by the Yangzhou navy without firing a single arrow.

Afterwards, An Shiming, the guard of Fuzhou, a large barrier city at the frontier of Xuanzhou, immediately opened the gates of the city after hearing the news, and drove the cattle and pigs to the Yangzhou army.Facing the Yangzhou army.That's what Fuzhou guards have always done, and it's only reasonable to comfort the Yangzhou army.It's just that, usually the Yangzhou army would leave happily after collecting the wine and meat, but this time they rushed up like wolves and tigers, looking like a group of extremely hungry refugees, not only wanting to eat pigs and cows, but also Everyone wants to eat.

An Shiming was taken aback.Under the desperate fighting of the soldiers, An Shiming escaped alone. When he reined in his horse and turned his head to look back in the distance, he saw that the flag flying on the top of Fuzhou City had changed to the Yang character.

Undeclared wars, blitzkriegs, and raids followed.The stinky rules of severing diplomatic relations, handing over letters of war, making appointments for war, and fighting in an upright manner have been lost since the Spring and Autumn Period.Yang Xingmi gathered the troops of Sun Duan and Zhang Xiong, defeated the enemy's peripheral troops, and successfully surrounded Xuanzhou.Under the continuous siege, Xuanzhou ran out of food, and the tragedy of cannibalism occurred in the city.Zhao Kai was driven away by Zhou Jinsi, the general of the Ministry, and was captured on the way to escape.The morale of the Xuanzhou army was unstable, and the soldiers captured Zhou Jinsi alive and surrendered.After the surrender of Kaesong, Yang Xingmi’s general Xu Wen cooked porridge to help the hungry refugees (don’t underestimate this practice, in the case of many arrogant soldiers in the Five Dynasties, Yang Xingmi and his army are simply teachers of benevolence and righteousness. up).

Through the concerted efforts of the top and bottom, people's hearts gradually returned to Yang Xingmi's banner.Xuanzhou was originally a large state. At its heyday, there were 12 households and a population of 88. Now that people's hearts are attached, Yang Xingmi's strength has greatly increased. Good things always go hand in hand with bad things.

News came from the front that Sun Ru sent troops to attack Luzhou, and the guard Cai Yu surrendered, which indicated that a large-scale attack by Caizhou's diabolical soldiers was coming soon.There is no way out for defending the isolated city. Xuanzhou must be able to respond to each other.Yang Xingmi captured Changzhou (now part of Changzhou) before Sun Ru's army attacked.Xuanzhou and Changzhou echo each other.

The expected offensive began. Sun Ru's army, who had been recharging his energy in Yangzhou for a long time, was very aggressive. After crossing the Yangtze River, he fell into Changzhou and Runzhou.Xuanzhou urgent!At this time came a good news.Sun Ru was originally a general of Qin Zongquan, and most of his troops were Huaixi soldiers.The Huaixi soldiers have always been Zhu Wen's mortal enemy in Henan. Although Qin Zongquan has been defeated, Zhu Wen will never allow the Huaixi soldiers to make a comeback.Now he has beaten Jiedushi Shi Pu so much that he has no strength to fight back, so he can free up his hands to intervene in Huainan affairs.

At that time, Zhu Wen had not been defeated by the coalition forces of Duan Mingyu and Li Keyong, and the battle of Wang Mandu had not yet begun. Zhu Wen never gave up on the wealthy Jianghuai.He sent General Pang Shigu to lead an army from Yingshang (now Fuyang City) to Huainan, claiming to support Yang Xingmi and attack Sun Ru.Zhu Wenwen and Yang Xingmi joined forces for the first and last time because of a common enemy. In the first year of Dashun, the mighty Pang Shigu army captured Tianchang and Gaoyou one after another along the Lu, Shou, and Chu lines. Fight in Lingting.

As a result, Pang Shigu's army was defeated and forced to retreat.Although Pang Shigu's army was defeated, it bought precious time for Yang Xingmi.
