Chapter 487

In the Jin army camp, Huan Wen was also looking at the Liang cavalry, but he didn't know that it was Li Yue himself.

"Da Sima, the enemy cavalry has retreated." Meng Kai returned to the camp to give orders.

Huan Wen's eyes were intense and he said nothing.

Meng Kai was Xun's son-in-law. Xun Xian was killed in battle, and he also suffered a sudden decline. Because of his reputation for bravery, he was hired by Huan Wen.

Of course, it is impossible for Huan Wen not to know the details about Meng Kai.

"General Meng, how do you think this battle will be won?" Huan Wen looked away and said in a friendly tone.

"If the decisive battle takes place in the plains of the Central Plains, our army is no match, but if it takes place between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, there is at least a [-]% chance of victory." Meng Kai told the truth.

"Only [-]%?"

"Li... leaped across the north in a few years. With Sun Wu's opportunity and Wei Wu's plan, the Liang army fought bloody battles in all directions and became the best in the world. The [-]% chance of victory can only be achieved if Sima's command is good and the soldiers use their lives!"

"Bold!" the general behind him scolded.

"It doesn't matter if your loyal words are offensive to your ears. I have always known that General Meng is loyal to the king. If you come, you will be rewarded with ten kilograms of gold and ten famous swords." Huan Wen waved his hand magnanimously, then took off his cloak and put it on Meng Kai.

"Thank you, Sima!" Meng Kai burst into tears of gratitude.

Living in Jiangdong, it is difficult to move forward without a backer, and Huan Wen is definitely a person who cherishes talents.

However, this behavior aroused jealousy among other generals.

"If you are all as loyal and brave as General Meng, why worry about the Northern Banshee being immortal?" Huan Wen glanced at the generals with a majestic look.

And these words made Meng Kai feel like a light on his back.

The generals present were either Jiangdong nobles or nobles from the imperial court, so there was a natural barrier between them.

No matter how desperate Meng Kai was on the battlefield, he could never bridge the gap between scholars and common people.

"The last general and the northern barbarians are at odds with each other, and they are fighting to the death!" the crowd shouted back.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Huan Wen waved his hand.

Meng Kai withdrew as if he had been granted amnesty.

Xi Chao stared at Meng Kai's back and said, "Why bother with a decisive battle? Liang Jun has been fighting for years and is running out of food and grass. He only needs to defend for a few months. When his food is exhausted and the morale of the army is in chaos, then he will attack him. He will definitely be able to capture and kill Li Yue and conquer China!" "

Xi Chao deduced that Liang State did not have much food and grass based on various battle reports.

One of the reasons is that Heiyun has nearly 20 elite troops, and this time Li Yue went south, only bringing [-] with him.

Huan Wen pulled out a secret letter from the table, stroked his beard and smiled, "The guest is really my daughter-in-law!"

These words made all the generals stunned.

If Xi Chao is Zhang Liang, then who is Henkel?
Xie Wan, the general of Xizhonglang, and Xi Tan, the general of Beizhonglang, looked at each other and remained silent. Both of them were promoted by Huan Wen to win over the Xie and Xi families.

Huan Wen's route was the same as Sima Yi's. Without the support of the nobles, it would be difficult to reach the final step.

Xi Chao was shocked, but he opened the secret letter as if he didn't realize it. The letter was sent from Yecheng. It mentioned that Liang Jun's food and grass could last for four months at most. As long as it lasted, Liang Jun would definitely retreat and Jin Jun would at least recover. The whole of Huainan.

"It's so worry-free, just wait for the opportunity." Xi Chao glanced at his cousin Xi Tan.

One of the two joined Huan Wen's command, and the other sided with the Jiangdong gentry, and they had no influence on each other.

Huan Wen stood up from the soft couch and said, "Yes, Li Yue personally came to Jianghuai, and it was like flying birds into a cage. God has given me such a great service, how can I miss it?"

To defeat Li Yue, even if the Jiangdong nobles did not support him, they could not stop him.

With this Northern Expedition, the power inside and outside Jiangdong was in their hands, and the Jiangdong gentry could only swallow their anger. Even Xie An, who guarded Jingkou, wrote a letter to resign.

Huan Wen repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay and recruited him as a marching commander, but Xie An refused and hid in the mountains and forests, taking the singing girl to indulge in the mountains and rivers... Shouchun City.

As soon as Li Yuegang led his cavalry back to Shouchun, he received a secret message from Cui Hong from Yecheng. Yang Lue also waited for a long time.

After the army went south, all kinds of monsters and monsters were ready to move. Cui Hong found clues again, and all the clues pointed back to the Liu family of Zhongshan.

Cui Hong believed that the person behind the scenes was Liu Qi. Only he had such great influence. Many officials were his former subordinates and were familiar with the operations of the court.

A plaque of the Liu family in Zhongshan stands, and Liu Kun's identity as a son can stir up many people's hearts.

When Chu Pei launched his Northern Expedition, Liu Qi was also the first to respond. People from Qingxu, Yanyu, and Hebei Provinces all went south to seek refuge in Jiangdong. Unfortunately, Chu Pei was unable to hold up the wall, and was scared off by Li Nong's [-] cavalry. Liu Qi's defection to Jiangdong was abandoned. , had to surrender to the Black Cloud Army.

Scenes from the past came to mind. Liu Kun resolutely resisted the Hu people in the north and was loyal to the Jin Dynasty. How could his descendants forget their father's aspirations?
If there is no war between the north and the south, they may still be good subjects of Daliang. Once there is a war between the north and the south, some people can't help but pity Jiangdong.

He doesn't say anything, but keeps making small moves behind his back.

The tactics used by Honglu officials are effective on ordinary people and soldiers, but have little effect on them.

But when you think about it carefully, something is wrong.

Liu Qi may have Jiangdong in his heart, but he would never force Liu Qun to be killed. In the past few years, he knew a lot about his personality and would not be so cruel.

Li Yue wrote back a letter: "This is a serious matter, and Liu must not touch it lightly. When there is conclusive evidence, we will continue to investigate in secret without letting him notice."

"If there is any movement in Yecheng, I suspect that Huan Wen already knows the reality of our army, so he fortified the wall and cleared the country, besieging the city and calling for reinforcements!" Yang Lue said with his hand in hand.

Li Yue was shocked. The person behind the scenes would not be idle. He surfaced out of thin air. He must have passed on information and was noticed by Cui Hong.

No wonder Huan Wen put on such a posture in Jiangdong.

"Instruct Zhang Hao to lead [-] elites to challenge! Gao Yun is on hand to support him." Li Yue calmed down his chaotic thoughts, all problems will eventually be solved on the battlefield.

The background of the two sides is confrontation, but the confrontation is by no means static.

The defenders of Hefei City need to know that there are reinforcements outside the city, and the Black Cloud Army also needs to go into battle to fight, otherwise their vigor will decline.

"Wei!" The messenger rushed away.

Then, bursts of cheers sounded outside the camp, and the soldiers of Heiyun had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Li Yue went to the front line to investigate in person. He didn't close his eyes all day and night. He lay on the soft couch and fell asleep without knowing it.

I thought about it day by day and dreamed at night. In my dream, I returned to the first days of Heiyun Mountain. I ate meat and drank wine with Meng Kai and Cui Jin. I no longer felt hungry or cold...

When I woke up, it was already high in the sun.

After washing my face and eating something, the battle report from Hefei came back.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang and General Gao cooperated to defeat three enemy camps in a row, beheaded Jin generals Wang Ke and Sun Sheng, and killed more than three thousand enemies!" the scout reported outside the hall.

"How many casualties did our army have?"

Zhang Hao was really fierce, and he was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood when he struck.

"There were more than [-] casualties... The enemy troops were surrounded on three sides. General Zhang was exhausted and retreated with the help of General Gao..."

If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.

After hearing this, Li Yue felt that he was still at a disadvantage. The elite troops led by Zhang Hao could only fight like this, which showed that the Jin army's defense was tight.

It seems difficult to make progress on the east road. We can only hope that Wang Meng will win on the west road.

After Zhang Hao retreated, Li Yue sent several groups of troops to harass and provoke, trying to draw out the Jin army.

However, the Jin army remained stationary and could not move out, so it wasted away.
