Qiaojun, Longkang.
This place is also the hometown of Huan family.
Yao Xiang and a group of Qiang generals looked at Zhang Yu's camp across the Laishui River.
The flags were fluttering, the cavalry coming in and out was in order, and the infantry in the camp was quite majestic.
"Invulnerable!" Yao Xiang sighed.
Yao Yisheng said depressedly: "If Zhang Yu dares to go out to fight in the camp, he is definitely not an enemy of our army!"
Zhang Yu used his troops steadily and extremely cautiously. From the very beginning, he relied on the deep ditches and high bases of the water to make camp step by step, leaving no chance for Yao Xiang and Qiang's cavalry to perform.
After a few small battles, Yao Xiang suffered a hidden loss.
Those who can gain a foothold in a place where hundreds of battles are fought will naturally not be ordinary people.
"My subordinates believe that the enemy of our army is not Zhang Yu." Quan Yi's brows were filled with worry.
"Oh, could it be the Pengcheng Black Cloud Army?" In the Battle of Surabaya, Yao Xiang was chased by the Black Cloud Army for hundreds of miles, and she still has lingering fears.
Quan Yi shook his head and pointed to the direction.
Yao Xiang frowned, understanding.
After defecting to Jiangdong, although he was treated politely, life was not easy.
Jiangdong has been suspicious of the generals in the north for a long time. There were Zu Ti and Su Jun before him, and Zhang Yu after him. Yao Xiang was naturally no exception.
In the Battle of Surabaya, Yao Xiang was chased for thousands of miles, but the elite strength of his headquarters still existed. In addition, he was good at caring for people and elegant in talking, and he was known as Yingji in Jiangdong.
His reputation was bigger than that of Yin Haodu, which naturally aroused his fear.
In addition, Yao Xiang's subordinates were mixed with dragons and snakes, and someone actually robbed Yin Hao's war horse...
The relationship between the two parties has become increasingly bad.
Yao Xiang then sent Quan Yi to mediate, but Yin Hao refused to give him face and made insinuations to point out that Yao Xiang had different intentions.
Quan Yi cupped his hands and said: "The Governor has been on guard against us for a long time. This time, the general and Xie Shang were both forwards and attacked Yuzhou. Xie Shang was defeated, but the general was unscathed. I am only afraid of the Jiangdong nobles..."
"Yin Hao gathered an army in Huainan, but his intentions are unknown! Shi Kun threw himself into Jiangdong, and his whole family was killed in the city. From this, Jiangdong cannot be trusted." Yao Chang also came to add fuel to the fire.
Shi Kun's family was killed, which also aroused Yao Xiang's vigilance.
Now Yao Xiang is in a dilemma. To the north is the Black Cloud Army, which he has no guts to touch. To the west is Zhang Yu, who is a tough nut to crack. To the south, Yin Hao is holding a knife against his waist.
He and Zhang Yu on the opposite side are like brothers in need.
"The world is so big that there is no place for me, the Yao family!" A trace of loneliness appeared on Yao Xiang's face.
At this moment, he missed his hometown of Chiting County, Nan'an County even more.
At that time, Yao Yizhong raised his arms in Longxi, and heroes from far and near responded. Unfortunately, Guanzhong has now returned to the Fu family.
"Brother, I have a plan that can solve the current crisis!" Yao Chang's eyes rolled.
"What's the plan?" Yao Xiang had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
"All the elites in Jiangdong are in the hands of Yin Hao. It is better to lure them north, then attack with all their strength, kidnap Yin Hao, go south to Jiangdong, and take over Jiankang. Then great things can be accomplished!"
Yao Chang has a sinister mind and his behavior has no limits compared to Yao Xiang.
On the battlefield in the Central Plains, the weakest side is not Zhang Yu, nor the Black Cloud Army, nor the Di Qin Army, but Yin Hao from the south!
Quan Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "Absolutely not. Wang Dun was born in the Wang family and held great power in Jiangdong. He would inevitably be destroyed. Su Jun had outstanding military exploits and was very majestic for a while. He conquered Jiankang and hijacked the emperor. He specialized in government affairs and was still defeated. Our army in Surabaya After the defeat, the vitality has not been restored. Even if Yin Hao is defeated, how can we defeat Jiankang and resist the troops of King Qin on all sides? Besides, Huan Wen is in the upper reaches, spying on Jiangdong. Our army's move is to serve as his wedding dress. "
Yao Changpi smiled and said: "I can't advance, I can't retreat, do I have to wait here to die?"
Quan Yi said: "I have recently heard that the Fu family has sent troops to the Central Plains. The Black Cloud Army is watching with eager eyes, and Huan Wen is sending troops to new areas. This battle is no small matter, and we must not rush it!"
Zhang Yu offended the Jiangdong nobles and simply brought in all the surrounding big forces.
For Jiangdong, Luoyang is his old capital, and the tombs of his ancestors are all here.
For the Heiyun Army, if they cannot capture Yuzhou, there will be a big gap in the Central Plains.
For the Fu family, the population of the Central Plains is what they covet.
Among the several forces, the Fu family was the most impatient and was the first to enter the scene.
A land of hundreds of battles is naturally a place of great profit, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people coming to fight for it.
"It's true what you said! The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind." Yao Xiangle turned his horse's head and said, "Go back to camp."
As soon as they arrived outside the camp, the sixth brother Yao Shuode led several people forward and said, "The heroes of Huaihe and Huaihe have admired my brother for a long time, and today I specially led my troops to surrender."
Yao Xiang's reputation spread far and wide, and he was good at soothing people's hearts. Many people from near and far came to join him.
After glancing at the few people, he saw that they were tall and tall, but there was murderous intent in his eyes. Yao Xiang dismounted and said, "What a strong man! You guys have come a long way to work hard, and here are the people to hold a banquet!"
"Thank you, General!" Several people bowed.
Yao Xiang stepped forward to help him up.
At this moment, a dagger quickly pierced Yao Xiang's heart.
But Yao Xiang had experienced hundreds of battles and was extremely powerful. He pinched the stabbed arm with one hand and the man could not move.
"Bold!" The guard stepped forward with a knife and held everyone in hand.
Yao Xiang glanced at Yao Shuode and then at his half-brother Yao Chang.
Yao Shuode's whole body trembled, and he drew his sword angrily, "How dare you plot to kill my brother!"
The assassin's arm was held by Yao Xiang, and he could not break free no matter how hard he struggled.
Just when Yao Shuode's sword was about to fall, Yao Xiang said: "Wait a minute, let them go."
"Brother!" The Yao brothers were confused.
"They are just loyal people who have been entrusted by others. They have no grudge against me. Since the matter cannot be accomplished, they might as well go." Yao Xiang let go of his hand.
The assassin looked stunned.
"From now on, you can escape to the mountains and live with your lives." Yao Xiang was very generous and even asked people to fetch horses and food.
The assassins' shock turned into admiration, and they all knelt in front of Yao Xiang, "General, benevolent and righteous! How can we be called villains in vain? This is the order of Governor Yin!"
The Qiang generals were furious, "Why don't we just go south, defeat Yin Hao, and then advance to Jiangdong!"
Yao Chang's eyes shone.
The conflict between the two sides has almost become clear. Based on the lessons learned by Su Jun, Zu Yue and others, Yao Xiang's future is almost doomed.
What's more, Yao Xiang is not a kind person, and he has long been interested in Jiangdong.
"General..." Quan Yi, Xue Zan, Wang Liang and other scholars stood up, "Although Jiangdong is in decline, it is still the orthodoxy of the world. If the general does this, he will only fear that all his officers and soldiers will betray their relatives.
However, there is chaos in the north, and Jiangdong is still the orthodoxy in the minds of the world.
Most of Yao Xiang's men were from Jin. If they were asked to attack Jiankang, they would probably defect on the spot.
The key is that even if Jiankang is conquered, it will not be able to resist the counterattack of the Jiangdong nobles.
The method of using the emperor to order the princes is no longer applicable.
Yao Xiang's eyes flickered, and the enthusiasm on his face gradually calmed down, "I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty, and I must abide by the integrity of my ministers, and you must not do anything treasonous and unethical!"
"Wei!" The brothers were quite obedient and no one objected.
Yao Xiang turned to the assassin and said: "The governor is narrow-minded. If you return, you will die without a burial place. It is better to stay."
"Thank you, Commander!" The assassin kowtowed several times.
This incident spread, Yao Xiang's reputation became more and more popular, and Yin Hao's reputation became more and more unsavory...
