"Murong Shaozong also sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they still have 5,000 stones of food and grass, 8,000 pieces of cotton-padded clothes, and several feet of weapons left in the camp... It would be a pity to throw away these materials, and they must be donated to our army!"
The personal guards came to report.
Han Shizhong's face turned green, and he smashed the eucalyptus to pieces with a slap.
"I just want to expose the matter with this little thing and send him away as a beggar!"
Obviously, these supplies were an apology from the Huai Army, but Han Shizhong was very dissatisfied with this benefit.
"Then...should my subordinate refuse?"
The lieutenant on the side asked.
"Why refuse? If it's beneficial, accept it! But this matter is not over yet!"
Han Shizhong glanced at the deputy general angrily. Is he asking Han Wu to push the benefits to others? As the marshal of the Song Army, he had to pay attention to military power at all times, so he always deliberately remained serious, but his free-spirited nature did not change.
"Isn't it just a city of Jiaxing? Without Sun Ce, only Taishi Ci is left, and he wants to stop me? I not only want to take over the land of Jiaxing, but I also want to extend my hands to the land of Songjiang!"
"Let's see who takes Suzhou first, or I take Songjiang first!"
Han Shizhong thought to himself.
When he first led his troops to the north, he was still a little cautious. He only wanted to capture Jiaxing territory and not interfere with Songjiang territory, but this was the case.
The Huai army before had millions of people, and its majesty was heart-warming. Even if Han Shizhong had intentions of getting involved with Songjiang, he did not dare to show it.
The situation is different now.
Liu Yu and Liu Laozhi led an army of two to three hundred thousand people to the north, and Han Shizhong also knew this news. Even if the Huai army can capture Soochow, they will face Liu Yu the next moment.
It would be good if Soochow Territory can barely swallow half of it.
As for the remaining half, Han Shizhong wanted to see if he could get a share of the pie.
Sun Ce and Han Shizhong each had their own plans.
The elite troops led by Fu Youde are fighting bloody battles with Liu Laozhi who is defending Changzhou. The back-and-forth battle between the two sides has lasted for more than ten days.
The soldiers of the Huai Army are relatively strong, and the generals and commanders in the army are more capable than their opponents.
So in a constant tug of war.
Fu Youde gradually gained the upper hand. Liu Laozhi could still go out of the city to harass from time to time, but as time went by, he gave up going out to harass and only defended the city.
Fu Youde wanted to capture Changzhou and then move north to cut off Liu Yu's retreat.
Liu Laozhi, on the other hand, was waiting for Liu Yu to break through Jiangyin and cut off the rear of the Huai Army's West Route Bureau... Both sides wanted to go around, and the two cities of Changzhou and Jiangyin became the key to the victory or defeat of both sides.
Liu Laozhi in Changzhou City is just like Chen Qingzhi in Jiangyin City...
One has a special unit, the Beifu soldiers, and the other has a top unit, the white-robed soldiers. However, Liu Song's Beifu soldiers were taken away by Liu Yu, while Chen Qingzhi's white-robed soldiers are training on the battlefield in Jiangyin.
With the abilities of Liu Laozhi and Chen Qingzhi.
These two top generals are firmly entrenched in the city, and even generals like Liu Yu and Fu Youde cannot shake them in a short time.
But as time went by, as long as Fu Youde and Liu Yu dared to attack fiercely day and night, the two cities would be breached sooner or later.
North of Changshu City.
In the large tent of the Governor's Mansion during the march to the south of the Yangtze River, spies from the Military Intelligence Department continued to send urgent information from various places.
Documents like snowflakes fell into the hands of Gao Xi and Cen Wenwen.
After their screening and sorting, they were sent to Wang Jing.
"The situation of the West Route Army is a bit bad. After all, Fu Youde and Yang Dayan are just partial troops. If they use partial troops to resist Liu Song's all-out attack, sooner or later they will not be able to sustain it!"
Wang Jing looked at the information sent to the West Route Army and shook his head slightly.
The Huai Army still doesn't have enough generals. If he can have one or two more ninth-level generals under his command, given the strength of the Western Route Army, which has several more ninth-level generals than the opponent, will he be afraid that he won't be able to stop Liu Yu?
“The key right now is Suzhou!”
Gao Xi said.
"General Shi Wansui's continuous attack on the city has attracted most of Soochow's troops to Changshu. There are almost no well-known generals in Suzhou. The king might as well order Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao to march west together to attack Suzhou..."
Part of Soochow's troops were originally in Suzhou, and Lu Su, the historical governor of Soochow, was in charge, and Soochow's Qi Shu suppressed it.
It is not that easy for Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao to raid Suzhou.
But it's different now.
The pressure on Soochow in Changshu is increasing. If Changshu is captured, Suzhou will become a stripped girl and can only be ravaged by the Huai army.
Even if Sun Quan and Lu Su knew that sending troops north would put Suzhou in danger, they could only do so.
no way.
The current situation in Soochow is very bad. Under the crushing force of millions of Huai army, Soochow's defense line is full of loopholes, which looks like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Sun Quan, the great emperor of Soochow in history, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao were all famous ministers and ministers in history.
But no matter how powerful they are, they still have no good way to face a crushing game.
Just like the Shu Han versus Cao Wei in history, one state could compete with most of the world. Even if Zhuge Liang had great talent, he could not act against nature.
You can have some advantages in the early stage, but you will still be dragged down later.
At this time, Soochow was at a disadvantage from beginning to end, and there was not even any news of victory. The reason why it could persist until now and still not collapse was entirely because Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao swept away the wealthy families.
Otherwise, the Huai army would have already invaded Suzhou if there was a leading party.
"You're right! I'm giving the order now, no more time is wasted!"
Wang Jing said.
His original plan was to let Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao clean up the wealthy families in Soochow, just like a house, clean it first and then move in.
It's just that Liu Yu is under a lot of pressure.
Wang Jing could only give up this plan at this time. Cleaning the house could wait until later, but now he had to destroy Soochow first.
At this time.
Cen Wenwen was checking a memorial that had just been sent as a rush. When he opened it, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly stood up to report.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Route Army has an urgent military situation!"
"Sun Ce led hundreds of cavalry to abandon Jiaxing City and go north. Two generals, He Ruobi and Murong Shaozong, followed. They were already approaching Suzhou... and they were about to approach Suzhou City."
Cen Wenwen said quickly.
Wang Jing was slightly startled, and then burst into laughter. He was not angry at He Ruobi's decision, but very happy.
"Okay! He Ruobi and Murong Shaozong are approaching Suzhou. Soochow is about to be destroyed!"
After Wang Jing laughed, he pondered slightly.
"Send the order and immediately gather 10,000 elite soldiers. Gu Gu will lead the troops south and meet Sun Shiwan in Suzhou!"
"After Gu leaves, Zhaoxuan, come and sit in the main tent and lead the central army for Gu!"
Gao Xi quickly stepped forward and saluted, "I accept your order!"
From being a personal official, he suddenly became an important minister in charge of the central army. For Gao Xi, this was a step to the top. Of course, the Marching Governor's Office is only a temporary position and is not considered official.
But with such qualifications, Gao Xi's official title will be promoted soon.
