Chapter 1209 The general trend

After Zhao Shen and Zu Ti met in the north of the Yangtze River, Zu Ti handed over the vanguard of the Chinese army to Zhao Shen to fight, and he crossed the river from another way and entered the south of the Yangtze River.

Unlike Zhao Shi, who fought guerrillas with Qingqi and went deep into the enemy camp to stir up trouble everywhere, the forward general Zhao Shen wanted to take down the city from Wang Dun's hands and entrust someone to manage it before he could go further.

He needed to have close contact with the Chinese Army and the Rear Army, so he had a separate radio station and a simple generator in his hand, so he could contact Zhao Hanzhang and Zu Ti alone.

It's just that his fighting style is unique. He doesn't like to push down steadily. Instead, he likes to only attack fortresses and fight in roundabout ways. In turn, he isolates some people who are not strong in combat, or are forced to defect to Wang Dun, but have no will to resist. Determined official.

When they realize that they are helpless and unable to fight, and the army from behind is approaching, they will surrender the whole city.

For the rear army, this was simply giving away lives and military honors, and the rear army had a great time picking up the city.

Therefore, Zhao Shen has a good relationship with the army. Whenever he needs to replenish food, armaments and combat personnel, they can respond quickly without delay.

What made Zu Ti suspicious was that with his fighting style, there were not many casualties. Until now, he had only replenished his troops once, and most of the soldiers he sent down were wounded.

Because of the fast speed of the siege and the erratic route of the army, Wang Dun had lost the support of the people and had a very poor mass base, which made him unable to figure out the details of this army for a while.

But he still knew that there was a Zhao army behind him. Even if he had decided to abandon Jiangnan and fight in Guangzhou, he could not allow his authority to be challenged like this.

Moreover, since Zhao's army crossed the river, he also needed a big battle to boost his morale.

Wang Dun released false news about this and signaled that his troops would be defeated in Guangchang County and let them pass. He led his troops to ambush midway from Guangchang to Shanyang.

Zhao Shen was still nagging, but after capturing Guangchang County, he did not tell fortunes. Instead, he sent five scouts to investigate along the way.

Five scouts found nothing.

Zhao Shen frowned and ordered: "Explore again!"

No further exploration revealed anything unusual.

Zhao Shen thought about it and believed in his own judgment more. If there was an ambush on the road... He stared at the map for a while and decided to put in more effort, so he sent an ordinary messenger to lead 2,000 people to Poyang with great fanfare. Lead the army quietly to the southeast to Le'an.

Wang Dun did not ambush anyone, but he was not discouraged and took a shortcut to Poyang to stop the attack.

The two sides met on the outskirts of Poyang and fought a battle. Pingxin only had 2,000 men. He was highly mobile and he did not need to win. The general's order to him was, "Save the maximum combat effectiveness."

So after he found that he couldn't defeat him, when he found an opportunity, he retreated his troops, turned around and ran away.

Because they only had two thousand people here, and they had been so powerful before, Wang Dun suspected that there was an ambush ahead. The two thousand people were pretending to be defeated and asked you to surrender, so he stopped his general and said: "Don't chase the poor invaders, let's go back to Poyang."

The top priority is Nanchang. Nanchang in Yuzhang County must be captured so that he can lead the army southward.

When Ping Xin saw that they stopped chasing, he followed them quietly again, appearing from time to time to harass them. As soon as they turned around, he would run away.

This made Wang Dun's subordinates more convinced that Zhao Shen wanted to invite you to enter the urn, but Wang Dun was a little suspicious and turned to the scouts, "Have you detected their army?"

The scout said: "When we are with them, we have checked the traces after they left. The number of earthen stoves should be able to supply about 40,000 people."

Wang Dun frowned even more tightly. After a moment, his expression changed and he shouted, "No, he's trying to attack the east."

If there were more than 40,000 of them, how could it be possible that the same group of people came to attack them every time?

Sometimes he would come over twice a day to provoke me.

Wang Dun sent his generals to fight every time, but he would supervise the battle every time. He had a good memory and was very familiar with this rat-like army that appeared from time to time.

"The army is not here. These two thousand people are here to attract our attention. They..." Wang Dun's mind was racing and he quickly thought of Yuhan County. He gritted his teeth and said, "They must have gone to Le'an. Since then, they have gone to Le'an." Transfer from Le'an to Yuhan, and then from Yuhan to Nanchang..."

That's much closer, and just out of his sphere of influence.

The magistrate of Le'an County did not surrender to Wang Dun, but tore up the letter written by Wang Dun, and then publicly went to King Shulangya, saying that Wang Dun was a rebellious minister and a traitor.

Wang Dun was focused on Jiankang at that time, thinking that as long as he conquered Jiankang, it would be useless for these small county magistrates to oppose him, so he ignored these small county magistrates who opposed him.

Unexpectedly, the let go at that time should be felt today.

Wang Dun immediately left a group of people to stop the two thousand people, and ordered the army to advance at high speed to reach Nanchang within two days.

At this time, Zhao Shen, with the help of the magistrate of Le'an County, had crossed between Le'an and Poyang and arrived at Yuhan, where part of Dai Yuan's army was stationed. He could pass from here to Nanchang.

But Zhao Shen was no longer in a hurry. He went to the outside of Nanchang City in front of Wang Dun. When the time came, he and Dai Jiajun went to Nanchang from Yuhan to invite you to the urn.

Zu Ti was very satisfied when he received Zhao Shen's telegram. He immediately ordered the army still in Jiangbei to cross the river, and then divided into three groups, two to Jiangdong to pursue Wang Dun's main force, and one group to go with Zhao Ju, Mi Ce and Wang Yifeng. Recover the city occupied by Wang Dun in the south of the Yangtze River.

The six-pronged army shuttled across the south and east of the Yangtze River, taking over the cities that Zhao Shen had not captured and connecting them together.

Zu Ti was very powerful. Not only Jiangnan, but also the Wujun area controlled by local nobles and nobles were also invaded.

The garrisons in these places mostly obeyed the Zhou family, and the current head of the Zhou family was named Zhou Qi.

His grandfather and father were both famous ministers of the state of Wu. His father, Zhou Chu, entered the Jin Dynasty after the death of Wu and became the censor Zhongcheng. He was also in Jiankang at this time. After the Zhao army entered the city, he was forced to stay in the city.

Zu Ti asked him to escort King Langya and his family to Beijing.

Zhou Qi was cautious and knew that it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed.

Before leaving, he wanted to write a letter to his family.

Zu Ti readily agreed.

Zhou Qi's letter was sent back to Yixing. The Zhou family army, which had been ignoring Wang Dun's army passing by, suddenly attacked Wang Dun's army and blocked their way. Zhao Shi quickly chased after him and left a message for the rear army.

The two rear armies quickly caught up.

Zhou Qi's letter was sent out, and when he crossed the river with King Langya's family and Director Wang, he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the water of the Yangtze River rolling away.

The separation and reunification of the world seems to be controlled by heaven, but I wonder if his and Zhou's futures are also destined by fate?

After seeing Zhao Jiajun crossing the river in an orderly manner, the people inside and outside Jiankang City would be curious to watch the excitement and discuss the matter enthusiastically, but there was no disgust or disgust in their expressions. At that time, he knew that the Zhou family should adapt to the current situation. I chose Zhao Hanzhang.

So when Zu Ti "asked" him to stay in Jiankang City to protect King Langya from Wang Dun's assassins, he didn't think about escaping, but took advantage of the situation and stayed.

Good night
