Xie Zhao was in a desperate situation.

While his father was still fighting for his life, Xie Zhao was still more than a hundred miles away from Jingzhou City, and the information brought back by the spies surprised and delighted him.

Yun Zhao was actually in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou was indeed as empty as the information I received before, and there was no large army of the Northern Expedition Army stationed. Yun Zhao had just arrived there, and only three thousand personal guards were with him. And he had as many as 40,000 troops from Huaian and Kangping to Jingzhou City, ten times more than the enemy.

Is this a pie falling from the sky? Xie Zhao jumped up lively with his heart, only more than a hundred miles away from Jingzhou City. If he advanced at full speed, it would only take two days. If he could defeat Yun Zhao in one fell swoop, this would be the credit for the sky. Thinking that if there really was such a day, the glory he would have won, Xie Zhao couldn't help but be amazed.

Xie Zhao immediately ordered to advance to Jingzhou City at full speed. At the same time, the accompanying Shu cavalry went first. It is necessary to drag Yun Zhao near Jingzhou City and not let him run away.

When the military order was passed to another Shu army general of Baokang, Xie Shuyi, the veteran's face changed color. He did not send troops from Baokang, but arranged military affairs and ran all the way to intercept Xie Zhao halfway.

"Even if it is not a trap, this cannot be our opportunity!" Xie Shuyi shouted to Xie Zhao: "Major General, Jingzhou City cannot be gone, we must withdraw our troops immediately!"

"Major General Yun Zhao's army is a mere three thousand soldiers, and we are tens of thousands of people. We are still afraid that he will not succeed. General Xie, this is a great opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such store!" Xie Zhao said: "If Yun Zhao is taken down, the Northern Expedition Army will collapse, and the dispute between the north and the south will be quelled. This is a good opportunity for us to write history."

"Major General Thinks Three!" Xie Shuyi, who was over 40 years old, had a completely different idea. "Major General, Yun Zhao appeared in Jingzhou City without reason, but he appeared. Think about it carefully, what should we do if we can't take Jingzhou City and are dragged by them? Jingzhou City does not have heavy troops, but the Mongolian cavalry was in Jiangling, and it won't take long to get from Jiangling to Jingzhou City? Moreover, Yun Zhao's personal guard camps are all cavalry. If they want to run away, how can we catch up? Major General, I thought about it all the way over, maybe this might be a trap."

"He only has 3,000 people in Jingzhou City. Even if it is a trap, what can he do to me? He is not afraid of slapping him to death."

"What if Yun Zhao dragged us down and then the Mongolian cavalry cut off our retreat?"

"I am not a fool. I have 5,000 troops in Huaian to defend the city, which can ensure that our retreat is safe!" Xie Zhao said coldly, "General Xie, I think you are scared by the Northern Army, right? With such a large military advantage and such a good opportunity, if we cannot seize it, it will make a laughing at the world."

Xie Shuyi gritted his teeth: "Major General, don't forget, how did we live in Jingzhou? The Northern Army is in this direction, and if they want to block our retreat, they will not go to attack cities and plunder land. As long as tens of thousands of cavalry come, it will be enough to make us lose our power and retreat, and we will not be able to go back at all!"

"I also want to remind you that if the Mongolian cavalry rushed back to Jingzhou, Jiangling's Xing Shu was not a fool. Will he sit back and wait for them to leave without sending troops? I believe he still has this vision."

"How can the Major General put his hope on Xing Shu and others? In front of them was Jamukha, Tuli, Malihan and Huo Zhenting's army. They have not yet protected themselves, so they have the energy to manage us? Major General, once he makes a hundred years of resentment, he has been looking back for a hundred years. Let's retreat. When you go back, at least retreat to Baokang. Let's take a look first!"

"But my dad is still in Lynch's hand. Do you think my dad has any accident?"

"Lynch asked us to send troops, we sent troops. As long as our troops are not damaged, the general will never have any trouble. If we are defeated, the general will be in trouble!" Xie Shuyi shouted: "Major General, if you insist on sending troops, I will never obey."

"Do you want to disobey?" Xie Zhao was furious.

"Is the Major General going to cut off my head?" Xie Shuyi was unafraid. If the person who gave the order was Xie Shilin, he had nothing to say, but Xie Zhao would be a different matter.

Xie Zhao was so angry that he couldn't speak. Xie Shuyi stared at him for a while, paused heavily, turned around and left, got out of the camp, got on his horse and headed straight for Kangping.

"I am raised by dogs and rely on my old age. Without you, I am still capable. At that time, I will be embarrassed by Yun Zhao's head!" Xie Shuyi's persuasion made Xie Zhao make up his mind. These veterans who followed his father were not convinced by him. You can tell from Xie Shuyi's rebelliousness. Without a good record, how could these people convince themselves?

When Xie Shuyi returned to Kangping, he learned that Xie Zhao did not listen to his persuasion at all, but was still stubbornly advancing to the city of Jingzhou. He sighed. With an instinct, he felt that this time was really bad. If Yun Zhao was not in Jingzhou City, he would support Xie Zhao's plan to seize Jingzhou City. They originally thought so, but Yun Zhao appeared there, which was too abnormal.

But he was not the main general this time, and it was already the limit to disobeying. While sending someone to send a message to Xie Shilin, he sent an elite force of 5,000 people to slowly send to Jingzhou City. In this way, if something happened, he might have a support. He was prepared for Kangping. If he was really unfortunately told by himself, he would have to accept Xie Zhao and retreat to Yuzhou.

A day later, a message that made Xie Shuyi feel bad came.

Lichuan discovered a large number of enemy cavalry. Lichuan and Huaian were close to each other. Although the cavalry would not attack the city, Xie Zhao's cavalry in Huaian did not dare to go out to attack the enemy. In Jingzhou, the Shu army was already scared by the cavalry led by the Mongolian army Jamuha, and the only established cavalry of the Shu army was destroyed in the hands of the opponent.

He quickly sent a commander to order the 5,000 troops he sent out to station immediately. At the same time, he informed Xie Zhaolichuan that there was news of the enemy cavalry. The matter was already very obvious here. Jingzhou was a trap. Yun Zhao did go to the city of Jingzhou on his side and used himself as bait to fish the 40,000 troops of the Shu army.

Xie Shuyi made all the preparations for retreat in Kangping. Once the troops he sent to receive Xie Zhao, he would set out to Baokang immediately. Xie Zhao would not be stupid enough to stick to his own opinions at this time.

But the news came the next day that Xie Shuyi completely collapsed, and Baokang was actually lost. The Seventh Battalion of the Northern Expedition Army occupied Baokang County, and all of them were blocked in Jingzhou.

Xie Shuyi really didn't understand what happened to Xie Shilin in Yuzhou City, and the enemy actually took Baokang.

Baokang must be recaptured. Xie Shuyi cannot wait for Xie Zhao anymore. He left 5,000 people to guard Kangping, and led his remaining troops to attack Baokang. At this time, in Baokang, General Xie must also want to fight back desperately to protect the lifeline of this retreat. The attack between the two lines may work.

Five days later, Xie Shuyi led his troops to appear at Baokang City. At the same time, the other five thousand Shu troops who were originally stationed in Huai'an under the order of Xie Zhao also arrived at Baokang under the leadership of the garrison Xie Shuchang. After receiving the news that Baokang was lost, he immediately gave up Huai'an and wanted to retake Baokang, but it was obvious that the two were already late. At Baokang City, they met more than 100 subordinates of Lynch who had escaped from the mountains after thousands of hardships. They brought back the latest news.

Xie Shilin retreated to Bazhou. Xie Shukui was attacked by the Seventh Battalion of the Northern Army and the Modao Team of the Northern Army. He was trapped under Baokang City and surrendered to the Northern Army.

The two of them had imagined that they attacked Baokang in the two sides, and hoped to reopen the lifeline was completely bankrupt. Now, in Baokang City, there are 20,000 soldiers of the Seventh Battalion of the Northern Army stationed. The most important thing is that they have a thousand Modao teams.

"The general is gone, Cai Shiqi surrenders, Xie Shukui surrenders, Lynch died in battle, Xie Cheng died in battle, Yuzhou has become the treasure of the Northern Army!" The words of the spy Luo Feng stunned the two of them.

Xie Shuyi and Xie Shuchang were helpless and could only lead their troops back to Kangping County. At this time, Xie Zhao had already returned to Kangping with regret.

"Yun Zhao does not have many troops in his hands!" Xie Zhaoxin said unwillingly: "Otherwise, he would not allow me to retreat so easily. The two generals, maybe we have a chance to turn the tables, and directly attack Jingzhou City. If we can break it and have good luck, we may be able to capture Yun Zhao."

Xie Shuyi and Xie Shuchang looked at Xie Zhao like an idiot. They were just in the air, but they were still thinking about capturing Yun Zhao. Is it possible? Yun Zhao did not pursue him. Perhaps it was because of insufficient troops, but perhaps it was because he was confident that if he wanted the Shu army to gather together, he would gather and annihilate him.

"Major General, we now have 40,000 people in Kangping, but the food and grass are not enough to support so many people. Moreover, Kangping is too small. Now Huaian and Lichuan have already appeared Mengqi. Yun Zhao's men will definitely appear in the direction of Jingzhou. These are all cavalrymen, and we have no room for maneuver. In other words, Major General, we are surrounded by all sides. Yun Zhao is not in a hurry to attack because he calculated that we had gathered in Kangping in a hurry, and there was no time to support it. When the day we finished our food and grass, we would collapse without him fighting." Xie Shuyi said.

"Since that's the case, of course we have to fight harder. If the dog is anxious, he will jump over the wall!" Xie Zhao said angrily.

"The question is, if we attack, what can we gain? Yun Zhao has experienced many battles. Although he is young, he is afraid that he will fight much more battles than the combined ones of us. What we can think of is that he can't imagine? This is one, and the second is whether we still have morale now? The general went to Bazhou and we became an isolated army. There was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. We are just talking about it." Xie Shuchang sighed.

"Around Kangping, a flat horse is the natural battlefield for cavalry fighting. We lean on the city to defend, and we may be able to last until the day when the food and grass are finished. But if we go out of the city to fight, with our current morale and the strength of the Northern Army, we are afraid that we will lose even worse. In the rear, Zhou Guangyi is approaching. Major General, we are finished!" Xie Shuyi lowered his head heavily.

Looking at Xie Shuyi and Xie Shuchang, Xie Zhao glared at him, "What do you want to do? Do you want to surrender? Don't think about it, I would rather die in battle than surrender. If you want to surrender, then kill me first!"

Xie Shuyi and Xie Shuchang looked at each other helplessly. They really wanted to persuade Xie Zhao to surrender. They didn't expect that Xie Zhao was so decisive. Could it be that they could really kill Xie Zhao?

"Major General, you are so serious. We just want to give the brothers of the Shu army a way out. How could we disrespect you? Think about it carefully, we both said goodbye!" The two stood up and said goodbye to Xie Zhao with their fists.

Looking at the backs of the two, Xie Zhao gritted his teeth and wanted to draw his sword to slash the two, but he knew very well that the influence of these two men in the army. If they cut them with one knife, they would be afraid that most of Kang Ping's tens of thousands of troops would collapse immediately.

Although the Shu army began to build a line of defense in Kangping, it was indeed as Xie Shuyi and Xie Shuchang said, the morale of the army was gone. If it weren't for enemies on all sides and mostly cavalrymen, many of them would have been going long ago. Now there was no way out. When everyone got together, they could still stand together to keep warm and they would always have to be braver. If they were separated, they would definitely die and live under the pursuit of the opponent's cavalry.

Between the gains and losses, Tuoli commanded more than 10,000 large tent soldiers approached Kangping from Lichuan, Huaian and other places. Yun Zhao led his three thousand guard camps and thousands of towns stationed in Jingzhou to a large-scale land that was only more than ten miles away from Kangping. The flying cloud-like flag stimulated the already extremely fragile heart of the Shu army at all times.

Who is Yun Zhao? He is the supreme ruler of the North. He has come here, so can he still escape? All the Shu troops are thinking about this question.

With Zhou Guangyi's seventh battalion, the morale of the Northern Army reached its peak, while the morale of the Shu Army fell to freezing point. Especially after Jiang Xu, who was fully armed with a Thousand Modao team, shouted at the city with a powerful force for a while, Kang Ping was already completely out of fighting spirit.

The attack of the Northern Army did not begin immediately, but every day, there were teams of cavalry running under the city, shouting and persuading surrender.

Xie Shuchang and Xie Shuyi were anxious, but Xie Zhao was determined to do so and would rather die in battle than surrender.

Yun Zhao doesn't want to attack hard, and now he is steadily winning the CPC. He wants to force his opponent to surrender. After all, there are still 40,000 opponents. If he fights hard, there will be no problem in winning, but it can be expected that he will lose a lot of soldiers from the Northern Army. In this situation, it is completely unnecessary. Yun Zhao believes that the Shu army will not last long.

However, to Yun Zhao's surprise, after several days of besieging Kangping, Xie Shilin, who was far away in Bazhou, actually sent a messenger.

"Liar Xie Hong, see Prince Zhengbei!" Xie Hongli worshiped with a humble expression.

"Xie Shilin sent you here, but he begged for surrender from my Northern Army?" Looking at Xie Hong, Yun Zhao smiled and said, "General Xie is not doing well in Bazhou?"

Xie Hong looked up at Yun Zhao, "Thank you for your concern. Although Bazhou is a little poor, General Xie is still adaptable. As for begging for surrender to the Northern Army, Xie Hong didn't know."

"Then why are you here?"

"It's for Major General Xie Zhao!" Xie Hong said.

"Does Xie Shilin think I will let Xie Zhao go?" Yun Zhao laughed and said, "Originally, we had an agreement that the well water would not violate the river water, but since you violated the agreement between our two sides and entered Jingzhou, we can't blame us."

Xie Hong sighed, "I don't want to explain some of the things here to the prince. Of course, General Xie understands that the prince will not miss this opportunity. It's all the flesh on the felt board, and no one will spit it out again."

"Then what happened to you?"

"I am ordered to make the major general surrender to the prince!" Xie Hong said.

Yun Zhao looked at Xie Hong in surprise. He really didn't expect that Xie Hong came here for this.

"Let Xie Zhao surrender?"

"Yes, although the prince is in Bazhou, he still knows the situation here. The major general has no way out. With the temperament and personality of the major general, he will definitely not surrender. If he fights with the Northern Army, there are only a few people who can survive. They are all children of the Shu army. How could the prince watch these people die? So this time I came, I brought the general's handwritten letter, and the general ordered Major General Xie Zhao to surrender to you. Of course, General Xie also asks you to ensure the safety of the major general and the safety of the life of the surrendered Shu army." Xie Hongdao.

Yun Zhao laughed out loud, "Okay, yes, Xie Shilin is a sensible person, and finally knows to think about his subordinates. Xie Hong, I can tell you that as long as Xie Zhao surrenders, I will never treat him badly. And I think General Xie knows the policy of our Northern Army to treat prisoners, otherwise he would not send you here."

"I would like to thank you for this, and I would like to ask you to let me enter Kangping City!"

"Of course there is no problem!" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

Xie Shilin's order defeated Xie Zhao's final bottom line. Three days after Xie Hong entered Kangping, 40,000 Shu troops in Kangping left the city and surrendered to Yunzhao. They were immediately divided into several parts, transported to the north by Cao Xinyu's navy and scattered to various parts of the north. According to the rules of the north, they would first be under the supervision for one to three years, and then they would freely choose whether to leave or stay.

The battle of Jingyu came to an end in a very short time. Yun Zhao only used Zhou Guangyi's Seventh Battalion, Cao Xinyu's navy and Tuoli's 10,000 tent soldiers to take Yuzhou into his arms. As the main forces of the Shu army were completely destroyed, Yun Zhao was beside his bed, and there was no other force that could threaten him. The time to launch an attack on the Southern Dynasty was finally ripe.

Jiangling, Xing Shu heard that the main force of Xie Shilin's army was surrounded and surrendered, and Xie Shilin himself fled to Bazhou Gou Yan was in a panic and was lost. After Xie's army left, the time for Yun Zhao's general attack was about to come.

When Xie's troops attacked Jingzhou, Xing Shu always thought that Yun Zhao would mobilize troops in Jiangling to help Jingzhou, but what disappointed him was that neither Huo Zhenting's Sixth Battalion nor Jamukha's main force was moved at all, making him powerless. If he wanted to attack and support, he was willing but not strong enough. He never fantasized that Xie's troops could stir up storms in Jingzhou, but he never expected that his defeat was so fast.

The building is about to collapse!

Standing at the head of Jiangling and looking at the flag of the North Battle Army flying in the distance, Xing Shu murmured.
Chapter completed!
