Xu Shiji led a large army across the Huaishui River and entered Zhongli County, and the vanguard army led by Cui Jun conquered Huaming City.

There was not much resistance here, and even in the city of Huaming, the city lord was a thorn history, concurrently serving as local government affairs and military, and had been fighting against the erosion of Du Fuwei's army.

A smooth start is not a good thing, and it is easy to form an arrogant mentality.

Xu Shiji has always been uneasy, so he ordered the striker to be in front and enter Jiangdu County slowly.

However, after Cui Jun hesitated, he did not heed this advice, because he almost swept through Zhongli County and did not encounter much resistance, and the two cities surrendered one after another, which boosted the pride and morale of the army.

Moreover, Cui Jun consciously followed Luo Zhao's Yunnan expedition to the north, when he was in Youzhou, he was the general next to His Majesty today, and sometimes he still despised Xu Shiji's orders from the bottom of his heart.

"Xu Jianjun asked me to wait for the place to stand, not to easily enter the territory of Jiangdu County and collide with Du Fuwei's army." The lieutenant next to him held a letter in his hand and kindly reminded him beside him.

The corners of Cui Jun's mouth overflowed with a hint of chuckle, and he said in a cold tone: "General Xu has only been a general in Wagangzhai, but Wagang was defeated by Wang Shichong, and he failed to become a climate, but Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, these heroes, in the end, were not swept in front of His Majesty, ten years ago, the general met His Majesty, thanks to the weight, promoted all the way, fought in the south and the north, and has long been accustomed to life and death and fighting, occupy a few cities, deter the rebellious army, and then the army presses up, Du Fuwei is afraid that he will surrender directly. ”

"This, General Cui, is it a bit risky?" Another middle-aged general frowned, thinking that this was too risky.

"Wealth is in danger, you think, the war to pacify the world is about to end, only Xiao Liang is left, and now he is attacked by General Li Jing. The rest, only Du Fuwei and others in the Jianghuai area, seeing that the summer is about to pass, and there are only three months to the winter, we will take Jiangdong County first with the momentum of thunder, and drive Du Fuwei to Danyang County south of the Yangtze River, then the north of the Yangtze River will all belong to the imperial court, and our military achievements can also be improved a lot. Cui Jun was convincing the surrounding generals, lieutenants, etc.

Although he has been fighting for many years, the official has always been stuck in the fourth grade, and he is a general in the army, and he can only be a vanguard general and a branch general, if he can win a few beautiful battles, his reputation will be more beneficial to his promotion.

The surrounding generals seem to be a little moved, who doesn't want to get such a military exploit?

There was no big battle in Zhongli County, and everything went well, which made them, the vanguard elite, have a kind of arrogance, and feel that the land south of the Yangtze River is not difficult to calm down, and they are invincible.

Cui Jun looked at the surrounding generals and lieutenants with some hesitation, and used the method of agitation, and snorted: "Those who don't have the courage can stay, and those who plan to make meritorious contributions and expand the territory for Your Majesty, and kill Jiangdu County with this general!" ”

"General, we are not afraid!"

"Yes, don't be afraid, we will march with you, even if we encounter Du Fuwei's army, what if we encounter Du Fuwei's army, we will fight head-on, we will have 30,000 or 40,000 people, and we can stop him 100,000 horses!"

"That's it!"

The morale was mobilized, and they united as one, and decided not to obey the order sent by Xu Shiji to stay still for the time being, and to directly enter Jiangdu County and kill Qingliu City, which was located in the southeast and a hundred miles away from them.

Qingliu City is a big city in Jiangdu County, adjacent to Zhongli County, looking at Huaishui in the north, and it is a big city that must pass through to Jiangdu City from Zhongli County.

Once this city is taken, it is equivalent to planting a nail in the northwest of Jiangdu County, which can cause pressure to look down on the chaos in Jiangdu County.

Cui Jun asked again, "Have the scouts sent to Qingliu City come back?" ”

"I'm back."

"How many centaurs are stationed in Qingliu City?"

A Yu Hou who was in charge of managing the scout camp said, "General Cui, scouts, there are 40,000 defenders in Qingliu City, and there is enough food and grass. ”

After Cui Jun heard this, he analyzed: "It's about the same number as us, it doesn't matter, these Jianghuai soldiers haven't fought for a long time, compared with our division of a hundred battles, they are far behind, send the order to go down, pack up the camp tent, and send troops to Jiangdu County after an hour!" ”

"Yes!"

..........

Du Fuwei had already left Jiangdu City these days, personally led his troops to the north, and sent people to lurk secretly in the Huaishui area, waiting for the flood season to rise sharply, and then crushing the imperial warships on the Huaishui with the water army, which was equivalent to cutting off Xu Shiji's overall situation.

At the same time, Wang Xiongdan, a capable general under his command, has been dispatched, with elite soldiers and horses as the vanguard, to advance to the northwest Qingliu City of Jiangdu County.

This Wang Xiongdan had read the book of soldiers, was brave and strategic, and was very valued by Du Fuwei, and ordered Xiaoxing to stay overnight along the way, silently making a momentum, and stopped dozens of miles close to Qingliu City, and sent scouts to explore the movements of the Dahua army.

The army stopped, the flags fluttered, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong, and the cold light was cold.

"Dahua's vanguard army has entered Jiangdu County, and the goal is heading towards Qingliu City?" Wang Xiongtan immediately checked the map, and after marking the route of the Dahua Vanguard Army, a sneer overflowed at the corner of his mouth, and the lone army went deeper, it was a good time to ambush this army of soldiers and horses.

Wang Xiongdan smiled and said: "This time, our army lured the enemy deeper, that is, we had to wait for the Dahua army to go deep from Zhongli County to Jiangdu County, and then cut off the grain, grass and waterway in its rear, and then encircle and annihilate this regular army of the imperial court that went south. ”

"General Wang, give the order, when will we ambush this vanguard army of the Chinese Dynasty!" The surrounding generals were a little impatient.

Wang Xiongdan pondered for a while, calculated the itinerary and terrain, and said: "Within two days, you can ambush!" ”
