Invincible son

Chapter 1212 1213 [There will be times when the wind and the waves break] ([-])
"Report!"

A military general ran into the festival hall, knelt down on one knee facing Xiao Jin, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Military Aircraft, Changping Daying hastened to report that the Nanwufeng Navy suddenly blocked the upper reaches of the Tiancang River the morning before yesterday, and then A large number of Zhou's infantry crossed the river through Linyangdu, Hukoudu and Chifengdu and other places, and went straight to all parts of our Chaosizhou territory!"

Xiao Jin stood up abruptly, her complexion changed slightly.

Guo Xing also looked dignified. It is not surprising that Nanzhou chose to start from Sizhou. After all, they have been dispatching troops in Ningzhou on the south bank for the past two months, and the Wufeng Navy is like a crazy tiger. Repeatedly provoked the Daliang Dingzhou Navy.

Xiao Jin said in a deep voice, "Speak carefully."

The general bowed his head and replied: "The afternoon before yesterday, the Zhou army divided into three groups and attacked Sizhou Cenning Mansion, Chaling Mansion and Heping Wu Mansion, with a force of more than [-] troops. Yesterday morning, the city of Chaling Mansion... fell."

Xiao Jin's face was already ashen, as if being slapped one after another.

The letter of credence from Nan Zhou obviously couldn't fool him. The so-called sending someone to the capital to ask His Majesty the Emperor was just hypocrisy. Xiao Jin was not naive to that extent.Therefore, Nan Zhou suddenly launched an attack from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River with the way of falsehood and reality. Although it made him feel a little bit embarrassed, it would not affect the overall situation.

During the time she came to the southern border, Xiao Jin not only followed the extremely complicated relationship between the generals of the southern army, but also communicated with the governors of the five states in the southern border, and made many preparations for the possible outbreak of war.

What really embarrassed him was that Changping Daying lost Chaling Fucheng in just one day.

Before leaving Beijing last year, Xiao Jin went to Jingren Palace to meet Empress Dowager Wu, and the two had a long talk about military issues.From the Empress Dowager Wu's point of view, a large part of Pei Yue's influence in the army stems from Gu Liang's support, and the Southern Army is precisely Gu Liang's territory. People such as Guo Xing, Zhuang Xia, and Zhang Qixian all belong to Gu Liang. A close friend who was promoted when he was the head coach of the Southern Army.

On the one hand, Xiao Jin rushed to the southern border to prevent Pei Yue from taking charge of the frontier army, and on the other hand, he wanted to adjust the internal power structure of the southern army as much as possible.Therefore, at the military meeting a few years ago, he found Zhuang Xia, the commander of the Gubai camp, to suppress him from the head. Praying for Xia Yan, commander of the Yaoshan camp stationed in Yaozhou.

These two are not descendants of the founding princes, but Lu Qi was from the Western Army and has a very close relationship with Xiao Jin.Xia Yan served successively in the Kyoto garrison and the imperial army, and was one of the generals left by Emperor Kaiping to Liu Xian.

Xiao Jin said coldly: "What a Lu Qi!"

The general who reported the letter was silent, because he had already felt the real killing intent contained in the short four words Youjunji.

Xiao Jin looked at this person, and said coldly: "You immediately take people to the Changping camp and tell the commander Lu Qi that if you lose another city or place, the commander will not let you down!"

"Follow the order!" The general, sweating profusely, stepped back quickly.

Xiao Jin let out a foul breath and gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, Guo Xing couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. In fact, he had already noticed Xiao Jin's distrust of some generals of the Southern Army.He was only worried that Xiao Jin would not live up to his name and make some substandard decisions, which would put hundreds of thousands of Southern troops in a doomed situation.

Now it seems that although the coach is a little stubborn, he is not a person who panics and is at a loss when things happen.

Two hours later, a group of generals gathered together in the festival hall of the Shuai Mansion.

Everyone has already known the emergency military report on the western front, but even Zhuang Xia, the commander of the Fortified Camp who was suppressed by Xiao Jin before, didn't feel the slightest bit of gloating in his heart.Except for Xia Yan, the commander of the Yaoshan camp who is still in the Shangyuan Mansion of Yaozhou, all the generals in the hall have rooted in the southern region for many years and have a deep affection for this land. No one wants to see the Southern Zhou army slaughtering people in the territory.

What's more, the year before last, Pei Yue led them to defeat the Zhou army, which not only caused Fang Xie Xiao to lose his position as Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, but also captured Hanyang City, an important town on the south bank.Now that Pei Yueyuan is in the capital, the Sizhou defense line was easily breached by the Zhou army, and Chaling City was lost in just one day. This is undoubtedly a shame for the entire southern army.

Zhang Qixian, the commander of the Qi Nian camp, decided to ask for orders: "My lord, the general will call for battle! Although there are only two guards in the Qi Nian camp, the general will definitely be able to help the Changping camp and bring the Southern Zhou army back to the south bank of the Tiancang River." ! If this battle is invincible, the last general is willing to come and see me!"

Zhuang Xialang said: "Including the general, the [-] soldiers of the Gulei camp are already ready to sacrifice their lives for the country. I implore the command of the military plane, and the general is willing to lead the Gulei army to help Sizhou!"

Guo Xing didn't open his mouth, because the Zhennan Camp was the support of the two cities on the south bank. Unless it was a last resort, the Zhennan Army must firmly guard the south gate of Dingzhou, and protect the two hundred The vast waters of Yuli.

Xiao Jin was quite emotional, because the expressions of Zhang Qixian and Zhuang Xia had already shown that they regarded death as home, and they absolutely did not hesitate at all.You must know that these two are not ordinary military generals, but the commanders of the frontier battalion who can be called generals, and the top honors in the Daliang Army.

At this moment, he couldn't help having a thought: Are the empress dowager's worries and his fear of Pei Yue for the sake of the court or are they mixed with many impurities?
Therefore, he did not put on the previous arrogant posture, looked at Zhang Qixian and Zhuang Xia and said: "Two generals, please be safe and don't be impatient. Lu Qi has an inescapable responsibility for the fall of Chaling Prefecture. Hou Xu allows him to make meritorious deeds, but he will never condone or favor him."

These words made everyone slightly surprised. Everyone knew that Lu Qi was a highly valued person in the Tian family, and he was also Xiao Jin's arm in controlling the Southern Army. Unexpectedly, this Youjunji was so frank.

Xiao Jin continued: "War on the Western Front is definitely not the true intention of the Southern Zhou monarchs and ministers."

Guo Xing frowned and said: "What does Mr. Junji mean by this?"

Xiao Jin said calmly: "This Marquis knows that the generals have felt a lot of grievances these days. They think that Ben Hou is too cautious, and some people even say that Ben Hou is as timid as a mouse. Of course, I understand the feelings of the generals. After all, our army Soldiers have won many battles and victories over the years, so they shouldn't treat the Southern Dynasty army so cautiously."

Everyone was puzzled.

However, Xiao Jin did not continue to explain, and changed the topic: "This Marquis will not use the solid base army to support Sizhou for the time being."

Zhuang Xia couldn't help frowning and said: "Master Junji, once the Sizhou defense line is lost, the Zhou army can go north to threaten Qinzhou. It is the core of the five states in the south and must not be set foot by the Zhou army!"

Xiao Jin raised her hand and pressed lightly: "General Zhuang, Lu Qi was caught off guard by the Zhou army this time, so he lost Chaling Prefecture, but this Marquis believes that the Changping Army will not be defeated again and again."

He got up and walked to the map of the southern border hanging next to him, and said slowly: "Generals, the Southern Zhou Dynasty did not invest the main force on the western front, so they are just setting up a suspicious formation this time. Once our army turns the main force to the west, they will be very afraid. It is possible to attack here!"

Everyone looked around, only to see Xiao Jin raised her hand to press the mouth of the Tiancang River.

There is Yaozhou.

Zhang Qixian pondered: "But the Southern Zhou Dynasty did not have a powerful navy in the lower reaches of the Tiancang River."

Xiao Jin shook her head and said, "General Zhang, Duke Wei said last year that Western Wu and Southern Zhou would join forces to attack, and now his inference has become a reality. In other words, Southern Zhou began to plan the current battle a long time ago. , Isn't such a long time enough for them to drill a navy along the coast?"

Everyone is awe-inspiring.

Xiao Jin looked at Zhang Qixian and said: "Of course, the danger of Sizhou cannot be ignored, so I ordered you to transfer the Jiading Guard under the jurisdiction of the Qi Nian camp to set off immediately to help the Changping camp."

Zhang Qixian got up immediately and said: "The humble official takes orders!"

Xiao Jin calmly said: "To put it simply, Nanzhou wants to mobilize the main force of our army through the virtual and real situation on the east and west lines this time, and finally open a breakthrough in the southeast of Yaozhou. Our army must not completely follow the opponent's rhythm Let’s go, so we must hurt the Zhou army at the least cost, which is also the root cause of this Marquis’s reluctance to use the Guba army and Zhennan army to support the western front.”

Guo Xing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does Mr. Junji mean?"

Xiao Jin raised her hand to draw a straight line on the map, and said solemnly: "Since this battle is inevitable, our army will directly attack the enemy's vital points."

That line starts from Daliang Jiangling in the north and ends in Jian'an, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty in the south!
