Huaibei, Pengcheng.

Fu Rong was dressed in a robe and big armor, standing at the head of the city, his eyes were like torches, looking at a team of troops like the Yangtze River, black and pressing, from the side of the city, far to the southwest direction, until the end of the horizon, the infantry was holding a heavy cart, the cavalry was slowly pressing the bridle, the military boots and iron hooves of the men and horses stepped on the frozen soil of the snow field, the creaking sound echoed in the field, and the sound of the frequent drums played by Hu Qi in the advance was accompanied by the sound of people's heartbeat, which made people's blood flow. A fire of passion eager to fight, burning in the chest.

A forty-year-old general, with eagle nose and falcon eyes, and a bearded face, standing beside Fu Rong, is it not the general of the Qin State, the assassin of Jingzhou, and the general of Wei Liang Cheng?

Fu Rong sighed softly and said, "Our marching speed is still too slow, so we can march in this ice and snow, and I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Shouchun in five days." ”

Liang Cheng nodded: "What Yang Pinggong said is extremely true, it is only a few hundred thousand troops, and it is impossible to go too fast, unless it is to throw down the infantry and advance with cavalry." ”

Fu Rong hooked the corners of his mouth, and turned his head to look at Liang Cheng: "Ah Cheng, let's be good at ourselves, and at the same time we are the same as brothers, there is no one else here, so we don't have to see each other, let's call each other like when we were children." ”

Liang Cheng's father, Liang Pinglao, was a fierce general when the Qin State was founded, with a high position, after Wang Meng refused Huan Wen's recruitment, he once took the initiative to be a doorman in Liang Ping's house, Liang Pinglao was surprised by Wang Meng's talent, and found an opportunity to recommend it to Fu Jian, who was only a prince at the time, and since then there has been a golden combination of Fu Jian and Wang Meng. And Liang Cheng has been with Fu Rong since he was a child, and he has studied many Han poetry, books and classics, and the art of war with Wang Meng as his teacher. Counting it, it can be said that they are brothers in the same class.

Liang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Ah Rong, is it really appropriate to call it like this?" ”

Fu Rong smiled slightly: "What's inappropriate, more than 20 years have passed, but our brotherhood will not change." In fact, only our noble children are the ones whose blood is really thicker than water and who are willing to die for the country, unlike those Hu Lu who were defeated, hmph, they wish that our Great Qin would be finished. ”

Liang Cheng frowned slightly: "Ah Rong, don't say that, the last time you publicly said this to Murong Chui and Yao Chang in front of the Heavenly King, it has already made the Heavenly King unhappy, this time the Heavenly King will use them in his southern expedition, and it will not be a good thing for you to spread this word." ”

Fu Rong sneered: "Need them? If you really need them, you'll be finished. Lu Gong had long seen that they had bad intentions, so he thought about the Qin and Jin wars, and then reaped the benefits of the fishermen. Now it really confirmed his judgment, you see, Murong Chui has always stood still on the front line of Jingzhou, and he camped against the Huan Chong headquarters on the opposite side, and Yao Chang, the slippery head, is the same, going down the river from Bashu, it should have been a thousand miles a day, straight to Jiangling, but it turned out to stop in the Three Gorges area, they are just playing tricks, wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Liang Cheng sighed: "This is also the reason why I took the initiative to come here this time, Murong Chui has no intention of entering the map at all, and it is in vain for me to stay in Jingzhou, it is better to get closer to the Lianghuai battlefield as soon as possible, maybe I can help you and help the Heavenly King." ”

Fu Rong smiled slightly and took Liang Cheng's hand: "At a critical time, our brothers are still reliable." Now we can't control the two traitors Murong Chui and Yao Chang, and the Heavenly King's determination to go south this time is so great, it is impossible for him to turn back without making some achievements. ”

Liang Cheng's brows furrowed: "The Jin army is very shrewd, they have no resistance at all in Huaibei, and they withdrew directly, this Pengcheng is just an empty city, and they didn't leave us a grain of rice, nor did they leave a single common man." It seems that they are going to clear the wilderness, once our battle line is stretched and the grain road is urgent, they will dispatch the Beifu soldiers and counterattack on all fronts. ”

Fu Rong nodded: "Yes, this is a trap, according to common sense, we shouldn't jump in, camp here, and wait until this winter is over to make a decision, which is the safest way, which is also the reason why Murong Chui and Yao Chang explained to the Heavenly King." ”

Liang Cheng smiled and said: "Listen to what you mean, Ah Rong, you don't want to be stationed, but you want to attack." ”

Fu Rong Zhengse said: "Yes, Murong Chui and them are playing tricks and not moving forward, but our army can't do this." In this war, the king of heaven poured his troops into the country, and we must at least sweep the north of the river and conquer Guangling. If you can destroy or severely damage the Beifu soldiers, it's best. The elite of the Jin army is the 100,000 Beifu soldiers, if they can be eliminated, then Dajiang is not a matter of concern. ”

Liang Cheng's brows furrowed: "But the Beifu army is not dispatched at all now, it is to assemble in the Guangling area, to wait for work, if we forcibly dispatch and want to fight a decisive battle, I am afraid that the chances of victory are not high." ”

Fu Rong sneered: "Then find a way to force the Beifu Army to dispatch and fight with it where we want." Now it seems that Huaibei they gave up quickly, but Huainan, I don't expect them to give up lightly! ”

Liang Cheng's eyebrows raised: "You mean Shouchun?" Didn't Yang Qiu's subordinates come back and say, are the Jin army ready to abandon it? Our scouts have seen that many of the people in the city are already leaving. ”

Fu Rong shook his head: "Only the old and weak women and children were evacuated, and the defenders and Ding Zhuang stayed." This shows that they don't want to give up Shouchun. Ah Cheng, do you know why? ”

Liang Cheng said with a smile: "I just arrived yesterday, these things are not clear, but in my opinion, the Jin army's approach is very strange, if you want to defend Shouchun, you should send a large number of reinforcements into the city, but now within a radius of three hundred miles of Shouchun, there is no large Jin army, the main force of the Beifu army is still assembled in the Guangling area, I heard that the Yangtze River is going back and forth every day are grain ships, I am afraid that their military rations have not been prepared, at this time, it is impossible to go forward to the decisive battle." ”

Fu Rong nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, from the art of war, Shouchun can't be defended, but the Jin army is stubborn to defend this Shouchun, probably within the Jin Kingdom, and has an opinion on the war ahead, the Xie family's Beifu army abandoned Huaibei without firing a single arrow, seeing that my army is about to go to Huainan, those families in Jiankang City, and the emperor are afraid that they will be unhappy." Therefore, Xie Xuan can only fight this battle in Shouchun, at least to make a show. ”

Liang Chengqi said: "Isn't this Huainan the Yuzhou of the Jin Kingdom, it is said to be the place of Huanyi, how can it be Xie Xuan's turn to take charge?" ”

Fu Rong laughed: "Huan Yi didn't dare to confront our army head-on, he hid in Liyang early, and his soldiers and horses also went to Liyang, this time he didn't dare to support Shouchun, now Shouchun is a lonely city, there are only thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is not difficult to conquer it." ”

Liang Cheng nodded: "So Ah Rong is thinking of speeding up the march and attacking Shouchun?" ”
