After defeating the town's navy in the first battle of Huangtiandang, Yang Xingmi led his troops straight to Suzhou, and captured many towns and garrisons in the surrounding area.Finally, at the end of June in the third year of Qianning, Lu Cheng, the general of the township Changshu Town in Suzhou, rebelled, and surrendered the city of Suzhou to Yang Xingmi.Now a large area of ​​land in western Zhejiang is occupied by the Huainan Army. Between Yang Xingmi's headquarters and the Xuanrun Army, which was sent earlier, there is only one point that is still in the hands of the Zhenhai Navy——Jiaxing, which is also the Jiangnan Canal leading to Hangzhou. last stronghold.

"Crazy, this Yang Xingmi is crazy." Lu Fang cursed angrily in Mo Xiedu's big tent. Ever since he came back from the military meeting in the old camp of Anrenyi, he had been so angry. Long Twelve just asked After a few sentences, he cursed loudly.The generals under the tent were silent. After all, the chief general insulted Jiedu, the court envoy, and most importantly, Yang Xingmi was their boss. If Yang Xingmi knew about it, I am afraid that Lu Fang's Xiangshang chief would not be safe. .

Gao Fengtian looked at the embarrassing expressions of everyone, and thought to himself that this was not an option, so he took two steps forward and asked, "General, why are you so angry, can you tell me?"

Lu Fang shook his head annoyedly, and said to Wang Fo'er beside him: "Fo'er, you have also gone to participate in the military meeting, so you can listen to the generals below with what you said, by the way, only the commanders and envoys above are left behind. , and leave the rest first.”

Xiashou immediately understood that what he was going to say was very important, so the lower-ranking generals left the tent immediately, leaving only Long Twelve, Chen Wu, Lu Xiong and others. Wang Foer checked the guards outside the tent After the situation, he repeated in a low voice the military deployment of Yang Xingmi mentioned in the military meeting in the old camp in the morning.

It turned out that Yang Xingmi captured Suzhou, and after he succeeded in capturing it, he immediately sent a military order to the Anren Yi Camp, and summoned all the generals to issue the military order.It's been almost two months since Lu Fang was on the verge of guarding against Gu Quanwu's return reinforcements at Xiling, but the strange thing is that he didn't even see half of Gu Quanwu's reinforcements.

Although later he learned that it was Dong Chang who had returned to Yacheng and was dying in Yacheng, holding back Gu Quanwu's footsteps, but who knew whether Gu Quanwu would leave thousands of people to continue to besiege Yacheng and lead the army back to help. Mo Xie was caught off guard.After all, relying on the more than a thousand people in Yacheng, it would be fine for Dong Chang to stay in the city and stick to it. If he went out of the city, he would be courting death.In addition, Wang Maozhang and Lu Fang who were together did not get along very well, and they didn't like each other. Lu Fang doubted that once Gu Quanwu's army arrived, would Wang Maozhang simply come and say "the friendly army is in trouble?" Like a mountain"--I used myself as a backing, and ran to the other side of Zhejiang to support myself spiritually.So in the past two months, Lu Fang's spirit was about to collapse, and he even had several gray hairs. Hearing An Renyi's military envoy said that King Yang had orders, he thought the situation had improved, so he ran over excitedly.

When Lu Fang arrived at the Anren Yi Camp, he just heard that Yang Xingmi had captured Suzhou, and the situation was very good. He thought that the next step would be to besiege Jiaxing by the Huainan headquarters and Xuanrunzhou soldiers, and then surround Hangzhou, annihilating the town's navy and annexing large areas of Jiangnan West Road.With his military merits, he can also be an official like the governor of a state as An Renyi said.Who knew that Yang Xingmi later said that because Xuanwu and Zhu Wen had increased forces facing Huainan in the west and north, and Wuchang Jiedu envoy Du Hong joined Zhu Wen, intercepted the tributes from the southern towns leading to the imperial court, and led troops into the Yellow River Zhu Yougong, the adopted son of Zhu Wen, also led the army to join him. The sequelae of Huainan's over-expansion some time ago were exposed, and Yang Xingmi had to lead the main force of the headquarters back to Guangling.

But what annoyed Lu Fang was that when Yang Xingmi returned to Guangling, he did not appoint a single person to command the Xuanrun Second State Army and the remaining Huainan headquarters army, and even withdrew the main force. When the Zhenhai army counterattacked, didn't they first capture Jiaxing and connect the two parts of the Huainan army into one?
