In less than a month, Yun Zhao swept across Xiangzhou and killed Peng Zhongjun, the governor of Xiangzhou. Xiangzhou was defeated like a mountain. Except for the 20,000 soldiers who were still following Sun Chuanliang in Dayang Mountain, the rest were swept across by Yun Zhao with the fallen leaves in autumn wind. When he swept across Xiangzhou, the Northern Expedition Army defeated Xie Shilin's Shu army in Jingzhou, and wiped out 5,000 Shu cavalry. Xie An had 10,000 infantrymen, and only more than 2,000 people left to escape in a panic. Such a military force made the governor of Luzhou Yang Hong lose his soul, because all the signs showed that the next target of the Northern Expedition Army was his Luzhou.

Yang Hongfa did not think he could stand the pace of the Northern Expedition Army. Luzhou was full of plans and could be called a well-trained army of only more than 30,000, which was scattered throughout Luzhou. Lou Xiang, the general who commanded these troops, had never fought a real war in his life. Think about Wang Qiang who swept Xiangzhou and Hu Zehua, who was not a general who crawled out of the dead. When he thought of this, Yang Hongfa had the idea of ​​leaving.

He didn't want to end up like Peng Zhongjun, but when he thought about it carefully, where could he go? Luzhou is his foundation!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hate Yang Qing. The family took great pains to send him to Beidi and won the top scorer in one fell swoop. But this guy has no news since then. Even his biological parents, a younger brother and a younger sister disappeared without a trace one night. Without thinking, they all went to Beidi. The biggest possibility is that Yang Qing confessed his life experience to the other party. With Yang Qing's ability, it is impossible to have this ability. Only the official Fangsi has this ability.

Taking advantage of this introduction, surrender to the North? Just as this idea flashed, Yang Hongfa shook his head repeatedly. Although Luzhou is critical now, the battle between the North and the South is far from the time to decide the outcome. At this time, the bet is completely put aside, and it is very likely that nothing will be left in the end. Moreover, from the moment, the Southern Dynasty has the upper hand. If Park Demeng is defeated in one fell swoop, the Southern Dynasty can concentrate its huge manpower and material resources to compete with the North.

If this situation occurs, the victory of the North will be extremely small

But if you resist hard, the Yang family will face a catastrophe immediately

There is a cliff on one side and a fire pit on the other side. Where can I go? Yang Hongfa almost broke all his beards

"Sir!" Town general Lou Xiang took someone into Yang Hongfa's study room.

"General Lou, how about the army's mobilization?" Yang Hongfa asked anxiously. Although the Luzhou Town Army was unable to fight against the Northern Army, there were tens of thousands of people. If you gathered around, you would always feel at ease.

"The army is being mobilized, and it will take about half a month to gather 30,000 town troops around Luzhou City." Lou Xiangdao

"That's good, that's good!" Yang Hongfa breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed that the person who followed Lou Xiang in came in green clothes and scarves. He was about in his early fifties and looked like a scholar who had lost his brother.

"Who is this?" Lou Xiang asked

"Sir, this is a fellow townsman of Lou Xiang, named Tu Wenzhuang, and is a talented person in his heart!" Lou Xiang smiled, "Mr. Tu has been wronged in our mansion in recent years. Today, Luzhou is in danger. Lou dares not hide him in the mansion again. He invites him again and again to invite Mr. Tu out again."

"Tu Wenzhuang?" Yang Hongfa vaguely remembered this person, but he couldn't remember it. "Dare you ask where the gentleman was before?"

Tu Wenzhuang smiled and took a step forward, "I dare not humiliate my Lord Qingting, but Tu used to assist the Sima family in Tanzhou."

"Sima family?" Yang Hongfa's brows shrank slightly. Sima family was a taboo in the Dayue Dynasty. This person surrendered to the Mongolian tribe and was the highest-level general who surrendered to the Mongolian tribe at that time. It was a terrible thing for thousands of years! Hearing that this person in Tuwenzhuang was a counselor of the Sima family back then, he was already unhappy.

"Sir, Mr. Tu assisted Sima Rui and helped Sima Rui seize control of Lucheng in one fell swoop. Two years ago, a border army of more than 20,000 people was built in Lucheng. However, Sima Rui's status gradually increased, so he regarded Mr. Tu as if nothing had happened. Later, Sima surrendered to the Mongolians. Because of this incident, Mr. Tu disdained to serve Sima again and quietly left. However, because of this past that had assisted Sima, no one dared to use it, so he could only come to the last general and live there for many years."

"This is also General Lou's thoughts on the friendship between his hometown, so that I can have a bite of food!" Tu Wenzhuang said with a smile.

"Why did Mr. Tu leave Sima back then?" Yang Hongfa stretched his heart slightly, pointed to the stool in front of him, and said, "Sit!"

"Thank you, sir!" Tu Wenzhuang bowed and thanked him and sat down with Lou Xiang. "It's no problem to assist Sima's family, but if I ask me to assist them as gangsters, Tu couldn't bend down, but Sima Ren decided to do his best, so the villain could only hide."

"Mr. Tu, don't say these nonsense anymore. You'd better tell Lord Yang about the current problem? What should we do?" Lou Xiang said hurriedly on the side

Yang Hongfa looked at Lou Xiang and felt a little moved. Lou Xiang was not a buyer. He admired Tu Wenzhuang so much, and it was obvious that this guy was still a bit talented.

"Why can you teach me the current situation?"

Looking at Yang Hongfa, Tu Wenzhuang smiled slightly, "The magistrate must be very confused now, should he defect to the Northern Dynasties or fight to the death!"

Yang Hongfa's face changed slightly. He just thought about it. He was scolded by others and was too embarrassed. Even though he was on the same rope as Lou Xiang, he said it straightforwardly, which made people extremely unhappy, and his face was filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The Northern Army is powerful. It only took a month to sweep Xiangzhou. Luzhou's troops are still inferior to Xiangzhou. How can you not be afraid? This is human nature!" Tu Wenzhuang said.

"According to this, we will surrender to Luo?" Yang Hongfa said with a serious face.

"No!" Tu Wenzhuang shook his head repeatedly, "At this time, it is too early to fight between the north and the south. It depends on whether the General Congliang can defeat Park Demeng in one fell swoop. If Park Demeng sticks to Congliang, Su Can and others, then Yun Zhao will win. If Congliang wins quickly, then Yun Zhao will be very likely to be defeated."

"This is nonsense, I want to know now, who will win?"

"Master, this is a bet. Before the dice cup is opened, no one knows whether it is big or small, we can only choose the most likely one."

"Then who do you think we want to choose?"

"If sir ask me, I will choose the Southern Dynasty!" Tu Wenzhuang said word by word.

"If you choose the Southern Dynasty and Yunzhao's army comes, our Luzhou will not be protected first!" Yang Hongfa said

"Not necessarily!"

"Why do you say that? Just now, the gentleman said that our Luzhou army is harder than the Xiangzhou town army, and even the Xiangzhou town army is defeated by the Northern Army. What can we resist?"

"There are several reasons for the defeat in Xiangzhou. First, Congliang took away the elite troops of Xiangzhou Town Army to station in Xiaogushan, Dayangshan, making Xiangzhou empty. Secondly, when Peng Zhongjun learned that the opponent attacked Xiangzhou, he hurriedly led his army back to take advantage of the enemy. Especially his own death, it was a huge blow to Xiangzhou. The reason why the Northern Army of the Conquest Army easily captured Xiangzhou was because of these two points. The elite troops of the Luzhou Town Army were defeated by Xiangzhou, but they were victorious because they had a long judgment on the direction of the Northern Army. They could concentrate their forces to defend important towns. The Northern Army of the Conquest Army was invincible in field battles, but the siege was not necessarily very powerful." Tu Wenzhuang said slowly

Yang Hongfa's expression cleared a little, "Mr. continued"

"In the battle with Yun Zhao, the first priority is to drag it down. No matter how Yun Zhao fights in Luzhou, we can only stick to a few important towns, never divide the army, and never go out to wait for Congliang to fight Park Deming, and Luzhou is not without reinforcements."

"Where did the reinforcements come from?"

"First, Yun Zhao, who was under Sun Chuanliang's army, attacked Luzhou. If he succeeded, it would be meaningless for him to station Dayang Mountain. Therefore, returning to Luzhou was his only choice. Although Sun Chuanliang suffered a lot in Xiaogushan, he still had 20,000 to 30,000 people in his hands, including the Xiangzhou army left to him by Peng Zhongjun."

"Is it just him?"

"Of course, there is also the order issued by the imperial court to allow the aristocrats from all over the country to form private troops, right?"

"received!"

"Whether it is Luzhou or adjacent Tongzhou and other places, these private troops may come to support it. It depends on how the adults operate, and whether the court can make up their minds. If Luzhou is lost, Yun Zhao may be able to attack Shanzhou, but he may also directly attack Tongzhou. Personally, I think Yun Zhao will attack Tongzhou, and the Tongzhou town army will not move, but these private troops can come to defend Luzhou, and Tongzhou will be fine. I think those people in Tongzhou will not see this. If Yun Zhao attacks, will their family business still be maintained? Let the war burn in Luzhou, maybe these people will be willing to invest their troops and financial resources."

Yang Hongfa took a deep breath. Luzhou became a battlefield and his family business was gone.

"And even in Luzhou, Lord Yang, you have a lot of articles to write," Tu Wenzhuang said slowly

“What articles are there?”

"I wonder if you have noticed that you are still paying attention to the attack on Xiangzhou and the Northern Army that is preparing to attack Luzhou, lacking a very important force!"

Lou Xiang's eyes flashed, "You're talking about Mengqi!"

"Yes, Mengqi, why did Yun Zhao only place Mengqi in Jingzhou as a restraining force, but not put them into Xiangzhou and Luzhou battlefields?" Tu Wenzhuang's eyes flashed

"You mean?" Yang Hongfa pondered.

"Yun Zhao was a little worried. He was afraid that the entry of Mengqi will cause the emotional rebound of Yue people!" Tu Wenzhuang smiled and said, "The people's hearts are usable! Sir, Yun Zhao did not bring Mengqi here, but it does not mean that the Meng people did not exist in the Northern Expedition Army. Yun Zhao used to be a hero against Meng. Now isn't it the culprit of colluding with foreign races and poisoning Yue people?"
