As soon as Lin Jianyue received the urgent news from the Zhenfu Division, he arranged for the Enemy Intelligence Division to further find out the enemy's strength and the general's abilities and temperament, while thinking about how to use this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Meng Hu.

This kind of thing requires a lot of time and coordination. With the 70,000-strong Xinyang Army alone, it would be a victory if they could hold it. Wang Lizheng did not have much military exploits. Wu Zhong and Wu Yi may not be able to convince him, and they may not be able to organize unified actions.

If you want to achieve something, you must secretly mobilize reinforcements into Caizhou as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy will come in but be unable to catch it, and all previous efforts will be wasted. Lin Jianyue decided to lead the troops there personally to seize this opportunity.

In fact, the Zhenfu Division had already discovered that someone from the east came to contact Wu Zhong. Before he could figure out what was going on, Wu Zhong himself went to the people in the Zhenfu Division to explain the situation to Lin Jianyue and gave Lin Jianyue time to prepare.

To be on the safe side, it was necessary to combine the efforts of everyone to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. Lin Jianyue hurriedly summoned Liu Bingyun, Li Ziyang, Liu Hesheng and others to discuss countermeasures.

"The news from Wu Zhong is very timely and important. It gives us the opportunity to open up the situation in Huainan, but it is not easy to grasp it. The Xinyang Army alone cannot achieve it. I want to personally lead the First Army and the Guards Cavalry Army day and night.

Traveling at night, we first enter Tangzhou secretly. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we will not enter Caizhou for the time being."

Liu Bingyun first said: "Since we already know the enemy's intentions, we can defend it at worst. If we want to achieve great results, we need a large number of cavalry. Li Fei can lead 10,000 to 20,000 cavalry to go south in advance and reach Tang Dynasty first.

The state and the commander-in-chief unite to facilitate unified action."

Li Jizhong continued: "The enemy general in front of us is a Han Chinese named Shang Gui. He was a former Jinshi in the imperial court. I have never heard of him doing any great things. After surrendering to the Hu people, he became more powerful. He helped the Hu people capture cities and territories, and he was full of skills.

He is a bloody compatriot and is highly trusted. He is now the marshal of the Han army in Huaidong. He has 50,000 to 60,000 elite Han troops and 30,000 Hu cavalry, all under his unified command."

Lin Jianyue nodded solemnly: "The main target this time is Shang Gui. Hu people rarely do this kind of thing. They all do it based on their strength. Only Han people who surrendered would do this. But after hearing the news from Wu Zhong,

Sun Zhengyi of Huaixi may also be involved, which makes me a little confused. Now that the Xinyang Army is in front, he has no danger pressure, so why would he act like this?"

Liu Bingyun sighed: "Not everyone thinks like Commander-in-Chief. As a vassal, Sun Zhengyi and the Jianning court have always been jealous and constrained. It doesn't matter whether they are discouraged or trying to protect their wealth.

, Wu Zhong would not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, just

If he really comes, we will take this opportunity to deal with it together, and there will be no loss of justice. In this way, Haozhou, Shouzhou, and Guangzhou to the west and north of the Huai River are in our hands, especially Shouchun City in Shouzhou, which has a very important strategic position

, it will still be of great benefit in our hands."

"It's just that the enemy's strength has become very strong. Huaidong Shanggui's troops plus Sun Zhengyi's troops have exceeded one hundred thousand, including 30,000 cavalry, which is as good as ours. The risk is not small." Li Ziyang said.

for worry.

Lin Jianyue said with a smile: "This kind of thing is not a matter of direct confrontation. We are prepared and prepared. As long as we are well organized, there is not much danger."

"Commander Li Yang, from the perspective of Shang Gui's actions, this person is quite extraordinary. Wu Zhong is not good at this kind of thing. You should quickly send capable people to Yingzhou to strengthen the contact with Wuzhong. Make sure not to reveal any flaws. How to do it well?

It is not easy to fake surrender, otherwise there will not be many such opportunities. Once they retreat, it will not be so easy to catch them. The Enemy Intelligence Department must also fully monitor the movements of the main force of the Hu army to facilitate decision-making."

Wu Zhong looked at the mysterious and excited expressions of his confidants, and was both surprised and grateful. Fortunately, there was a reminder from the Zhenfu Division, otherwise it might have been bad.

"Old Ma, this matter must not be revealed. Once the people in the Zhenfu Division know about it, you and I will be at risk, let alone our future prosperity and wealth. Even the commanders of the battalions below cannot know in advance. My family and I

I will secretly send someone to pick him up, forget about the unimportant things, now that I have the territory and strength, what do I need?"

Wu Zhong realized for the first time that it was so hateful in the eyes of others to only care about his own interests and not care about others. After all, he had been the same way before.

I don’t know how many generals under my command have been contacted and bribed by the enemy. Fortunately, I reported the situation. If I really want to take charge of such an operation myself, it will not lead to any good results.

Wu Zhong turned to Zhenfu Si to explain the situation, and the result surprised him even more. Five of his eight commanders had been secretly contacted by Shang Gui's people. They were all his former confidants. There were not many people like Lao Ma.

, that is, Lao Ma and another person were really bribed, and the others agreed in person and immediately reported it to the Zhenfu Division behind their backs. Wu Zhong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. If he really wanted to rebel, he would definitely die.

Wu Zhong finally put away his past arrogance. The more he knew, the more he felt incompetent. It seemed that he was still far behind.

After receiving the report from his nephew, Shang Gui finally made up his mind to take action. He decided to secretly meet with Wu Zhong at the border of the confrontation to discuss a specific action plan. If Wu Zhong did not dare to come, he would still have to stop the plan, which shows Shang Gui's caution.

To what extent.

With the support of the Zhenfu Division, Wu Zhong was more confident. He was ready to personally kill Shang Guiqian when they met. However, he was stopped by Li Jizhong, the commander of the Enemy Intelligence Division. The main thing was to destroy the enemy's strength. In this world, the traitor leader

There are as many as you want.

Seeing Wu Zhong's greedy eyes and constantly asking about the benefits of the territory, Shang Gui finally gained confidence. Such a person Lin Jianyue also used it. It seemed that the famous General Lin did not live up to his name, but he was just too lucky.

"General Wu, Dameng's treatment of meritorious people is completely different from that of the Ning court. You will understand when you see me. Otherwise, what am I trying so hard for? You will know later. The focus of this plan is to eat Wu Yidi of Chenzhou

Second Army, everything will be fine. The plan is this, after half a month

, I will lead 40,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry to take the lead in pretending to besiege Ruyin. Wu Yi will lead the main force to come to the rescue. As soon as he makes a move, my entire army will attack him head-on. You will immediately leave the city to surround and attack from behind. He will not be on guard against you.

We can annihilate them in one fell swoop near Qiu County between the two states, and a great deal will be decided."

Wu Zhong had already known the Commander-in-Chief's plan, and he pretended to ask, "Isn't that right? Your troops are so strong and you can defeat Wu Yi head-on. Are you going to trick me out of the city and take the blame for me too?"

On the contrary, Shang Gui felt more relieved, this was the real Wu Zhong.

"Without your cooperation in asking for help, why should Wu Yi go out of the city to fight with me in the field? So you also need to ask Wang Li of Caizhou for help, so that Wu Yi can come out. General Wu, I, Shanggui, have been marching and fighting for so many years, and I have never betrayed my trust.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t be where we are today. If we really do this, what good will it do to me? Besides, your men are all elites, and Lin Jianyue’s army will counterattack behind you. You and I need to join forces to counterattack. I won’t kill the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs.

thing."

Wu Zhong was heartbroken: "Your mother's ancestors have all been sold. Isn't this called treachery?"

Wu Zhong nodded, but then said: "Wang Li Zheng was the second army of Long Jie's army in the past. It has strong combat power, with more than 30,000 people and thousands of cavalry. If we come together, we may not be able to get a good deal.

."

At this time, Shang Gui did not hide anything: "Huaixi Capital Marshal Sun Zhengyi will send troops from Guangzhou to attack Caizhou at the same time when I leave Haozhou. He can't come."

Wu Zhong was surprised and said: "I never heard that Sun Zhengyi is also one of your people."
