After successfully saying that he surrendered to martial arts heroes, Gui Yunzheng revealed his next plan.

"General Wu will lead the navy, prepare the warships, and cross the river in two days!"

"After crossing the river, General He led 20,000 troops and guarded Xiangyang with General Du."

"General Xu led 40,000 troops, and General Li led them out of Xiangyang and arrived at Jingmen!"

"General Qi, you and I will sit in the center of the army and cross the river with General Wu! Go and meet General Lin!"

With such an arrangement completed, Gui Yunzheng actually didn't have many cards in his hand. However, as long as he crossed the river and joined forces with Lin Zhijing, there was nothing to worry about.

From now on, it would be a bit heavy to let Xu Lang take charge of conquering Jingxiang alone. But if it were someone else, Gui Yunzheng wouldn't worry.

…

As for Lin Zhijing's side, after half a day of repairs in Chanyang, news came from the scouts in front, saying that the northern army's forward force was approaching with great force and that it was only a hundred miles away from the main army.

"Come here, summon the generals from all the camps to discuss matters quickly!"

Lin Zhijing remembered Gui Yunzheng's instructions and immediately responded.

Not long after, Lu Yida, Ma Ruhu, Pei Yunzhao and other generals entered the tent one by one.

"The Northern Army has arrived. Which general is willing to take the lead?"

Lin Zhijing didn't say much and asked directly.

"I will go where I will in the end!"

"I will go where I will in the end!"

…

Unexpectedly, there was a cry for war in the tent.

"Haha, there is no need for so many people. So, follow my orders, General Ma, General Pei, you two each bring five thousand light cavalry, and while the Northern Army's formation is not stable, charge at it! General Lu, you and I

Each will lead 30,000 troops, then press forward, striving to defeat the enemy in one battle!"

Lin Zhijing gave the order neatly.

Although the enemy army is powerful, they are coming in a hurry and must be tired. If the Ma family army is the first to charge, it may be difficult to stabilize the position. If you can then attack with your own troops, victory will not be too difficult.

"Got the order!"

All the generals agreed in unison, then came out of their tents one by one, ordered their troops and horses, and set off one after another.

On the Northern Army's side, Gu Peng, the commander-in-chief of the land troops and horses, knew that if Lin Zhijing was not blocked, it would be extremely bad if Gui Yunzheng attacked Xiangyang. Therefore, he mobilized nearly two-thirds of the troops on the north bank of Xiangyang.

Troops came to welcome Lin Zhijing.

Previously, in the battle with the Xiangyang navy, Ninghou suffered many casualties, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were added later. But because King Fu started fighting against the Northern Army, Wei Wu's army was even more powerful, forcing the Zhongzhou area.

The military strength was tight, and the imperial court was very worried about it. Therefore, it was not easy to increase the number of troops.

Gu Peng came all the way in a hurry, and when he was about a hundred miles away from Chanyang, he was noticed by Lin Zhijing's scouts. When Lin Zhijing finished giving the order and Ma Ruhu and Pei Yunzhao came with their troops, he just ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

.

"Senior sergeant on the outskirts, we must step up patrols and place the outpost thirty miles away from the camp. We must secure our horses to guard against enemy attacks!"

I have to say that Gu Peng is still very capable.

Although he came in a hurry and had a heavy task, he did not underestimate the enemy and rush forward. Instead, he started with defense, establishing a firm foothold first, and then attacking the opponent.

It is also obvious that his understanding of Lin Zhijing's army is somewhat reliable. He knows that they may be better at field combat and that the cavalry has a strong impact. Therefore, he focuses on defense and blocks it first.

However, the terrain in this area is flat, and the place where they set up camp is actually unsafe to defend. This is the most troublesome place for Gu Peng.

Sure enough, not long after, I heard someone outside the tent reporting.

"Report——"

The voice was urgent, and at the end of the sound, a scout ran in with a look of disgrace. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and knelt down with a plop.
Chapter completed!
