Chapter 51
"By the way, how is the Yan army going south?" Han Tingzhi asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, most of the Yan army was mainly cavalry, and they broke through the three cities of Shuhan before us. Later, after Liang Guoxian surrendered, we were besieged by these three cities."

"Oh? Hong Zaixing is so honest, so he has no backup? Then, isn't his army here to die?" Han Tingzhi couldn't help laughing.

"According to the report from the spies from Youzhou, there has been movement in the Yan army's barracks. I think Hong Zaixing sent another army to come." Lu Xiaoxian said after cupping his hands.

"Oh, it seems that Hong Zaixing is not an idiot, he just wants to eat the [-] soldiers of the Northern Conquest Army led by you one by one." Han Tingzhi said with a relaxed tone in his tone.

"After all, Hong Zaixing didn't expect that Liang Yong would surrender, and then our army would go straight in. Otherwise, most of the humble ministers would be surrounded now." Lu Xiaoxian said lightly.

"At that time, you were asked to lead the army to attack Liang Guo in the north, because you wanted you to delay the Yan army, so that the Jiujiang and Jianmen armies could attack Liang Guo from the south. I didn't expect Liang Yong to surrender directly, but I'm sorry to bother you. Arrangement." Han Tingzhi said.

Lu Xiaoxian also nodded, agreeing with His Majesty's statement.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Yan army that we have surrounded?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

Han Tingzhi opened his mouth and said lightly: "Surround him to death, it's best to be surrendered, if not, wait until he runs out of water and food, and attack him!"

……

Youzhou, the imperial palace.

At this time, Hong Zaixing also received news from Liang Guo.

His face was cloudy and cloudy, and his heart couldn't stop the anger: "What a big beam, it's really lowered!"

Although Daming and Dayan formed an alliance, Hong Zaixing could see clearly that they would fight each other sooner or later, so he was unwilling to return Mobei City to Daming at the beginning. It was only because he lost to Pei Ju's eloquence that he had to surrender Return Mobei City to Daming!

Of course, the alliance between the two parties also has their own calculations. Hong Zaixing first sent Li Anguo's 15 troops and Lu Xiaoxian's [-] troops to attack Daliang, and secretly sent an army of [-] soldiers to follow behind. thereafter.

Originally, Hong Zaixing wanted to attack back and forth, first to eat Lu Xiaoxian's 25 troops, and then join forces with [-] troops (ignore the damage of attacking Lu Xiaoxian first.) Attack Daliang, and he will surely surrender in one battle.

Of course, Han Tingzhi's tricks were also obvious. He also sent Lu Xiaoxian 20 troops to attack Liang from the north, and he sent [-] troops from Jiujiang and Jianmen to attack from the south.

Of course, in his plan, Lu Xiaoxian's army was not used to attack Daliang, Lu Xiaoxian's [-] army was just to hold back Dayan's army and buy time for the attack in the south.

Therefore, both parties were actually gambling. Hong Zaixing believed that with Youzhou's 25 elite soldiers attacking back and forth, wouldn't it be easy to swallow Lu Xiaoxian's [-] troops, and then break through with a big victory.

Han Tingzhi believed in Lu Xiaoxian, did he believe that Lu Xiaoxian led 20 troops to defeat an army of more than 20 (at that time, he did not know that Hong Zaixing would secretly send 30 troops, so he only estimated that it was at least an army of [-] or more), Han Tingzhi just believed Even with an army of [-], as long as Lu Xiaoxian chooses a high wall and solid city, he can hold on for several months and hold back Dayan's army.

So the two sides are actually comparing time, the longer Lu Xiaoxian delays, the higher the winning rate of Daming, and vice versa, the higher the winning rate of Dayan.

Liang Yong's surrender was something neither side expected, but in this way, it was tantamount to directly announcing Daming's victory, and even Dayan's front army—the army led by Li Anguo was directly surrounded by Lu Xiaoxian from behind.

The [-] troops secretly dispatched by Hong Zaixing had no choice but to flee. They originally wanted to flank Li Anguo's army back and forth, but now they dared not go. After all, the entire Liang Kingdom had surrendered, and if they went, they would die.

At this time, a scribe next to Hong Zaixing asked, "Your Majesty, General Li and others are besieged in the south. How should we deal with it?"

Hong Zaixing waved his hand and said, "Send an envoy to Nanming. I believe that neither I nor Han Tingzhi are willing to start a war at this time. Besides, aren't we still an alliance?"

After finishing speaking, Hong Zaixing dismissed all his subordinates and began to meditate in the main hall. From Hong Zaixing's point of view, this time he actually lost to the sky, not to Nanming. After all, no one would have thought that Liang Yong would lead the country Surrendered, and with such sincerity, he directly handed over the entire city to Nanming.

From Hong Zaixing's point of view, he has done nothing wrong since forming an alliance this time. Even if there is no such thing as Liang Guo offering two masters, he is given two choices, one is to fight Nanming with Liang Guo, and the other is to fight Nanming with Liang Guo. To fight Liang Guo together, no matter who it is, they will choose to carve up Liang Guo together with Nan Ming. After all, the former must be more difficult than the latter.

Later, he chose an army of 25 to flank [-] enemy troops. It was even more impossible for him to lose, but Hong Zaixing still did not expect that Liang Yong would directly surrender to Nanming.

Hong Zaixing sighed: "It is up to people to plan things, but it is up to God to make things happen."

……

In Jiangling City, Han Tingzhi went to Nanjing with the army to accept the surrender, leaving Jiang Ruoxu to preside over it in Jiangling.

Jiang Ruoxu looked at the envoy of Yan Kingdom in front of him, and asked, "What is the envoy doing here?"

The envoy bowed to Jiang Ruoxu, and then said: "My Dayan formed an alliance with Daming, why did my Dayan army besiege the three cities of Shuhan?"

At this time, Jiang Ruoxu was taken aback, he really didn't know about this matter, so he said: "I don't know about this matter, I will discuss it with the envoy after my divorce letter!"

After dispatching the envoy, Jiang Ruoxu looked at Pei Ju who was beside him. Pei Ju had returned to Jiangling after the formal alliance.

Jiang Ruoxu said, "Brother Pei, what do you think?"

Pei Ju smiled lightly: "This must be true, His Majesty probably wants to keep this army."

Jiang Ruoxu frowned, and then said: "Brother Pei, I have to persuade Your Majesty about this matter. After all, I have just taken Liang Guo, and I am not ready to go to war with Yan Guo."

Pei Ju smiled again: "It's nothing, I have met Hong Zaixing, he is also a cautious person, he will not fight with us unless it is absolutely necessary. I am not ready, but the country of Yan only a few years ago To win Qingzhou and Hanzhou, he is not ready to go to war at this time."

Pei Ju got to the point. Whether it was fighting Daming or Liang, Hong Zaixing dared to attack only when he formed an alliance with one side. Although Yan ruled the North, after all, it occupied Qingzhou and Hanzhou for a short time, so he did not prepare well to face it. plans for the whole south
Jiang Ruoxu frowned a little, and then said: "If this army is left behind, I'm afraid our two countries will have to fight. At this time, neither side is ready. No matter who wins, it will be of no benefit to both sides!"

Pei Ju said indifferently: "So this big army can't stay, but it can't be let go easily either!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoxu said, "Let Yan Guo pay to buy these soldiers back!"

After speaking, he and Pei Ju looked at each other and smiled.
