In the big tent of the water camp, Shi Xuan's face was gloomy, and his beard, which was originally trimmed and still beautiful, looked very messy at this time, especially a large piece of his left cheek was missing, which was slightly burnt and paste, revealing the rough and dark red skin inside.

Under the big tent, there are more than a dozen gorgeous female dancers, these female dancers are all dressed beautifully, at first glance they are also smiling like flowers, but if you look closely, you will find that the smiles on their faces seem to be painted, looking extremely stiff, lifeless, and there is no change at all. There is no lack of grace in the body under the skirt, but the trembling between the heels and swinging arms cannot be concealed at all.

But even so, such a picture is enough to be called pleasing to the eye, especially after a big war, it can be more relaxing and soothing.

However, although Shi Xuan on the tent watched the servants dance, there was no intoxication between his eyebrows, and it was obvious that his mind was not here, especially the fierce light that flickered frequently in his eyes, which revealed his bad mood.

"Your Highness......"

The sound of invitation to enter sounded outside the tent, and the waiter looked up and saw Shi Xuan bowing slightly, before bringing in the people outside the door.

Entering the tent is a middle-aged general in a robe, who is Shi Xuan's cronies named Yang Cup, although the tent is Yingying Yanyan, but he turned a blind eye, bowed his head and hurried to the front of Shi Xuan's seat, then bent down and bowed, kneeling forward, and his tone was extremely respectful: "Your Highness, the battle capture and beheading have been sorted out." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a book of books, and the attendant beside Shi Xuan stepped forward to take it, and after a little inquiry, he began to read it.

Listening to the waiter's recitation, Shi Xuan's face became even more gloomy, and finally he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, he kicked the table in front of him suddenly, and almost roared: "Only so much? ”

Seeing that Shi Xuan was so annoyed, the general Yang Cup and the attendants on the left and right all knocked down in unison, not daring to speak. As for the dancing servants, their postures stiffened a little, and then they soon returned to their original state, but their faces were completely bloodless, and they looked more like delicate puppets than living people.

Yang Bei trembled and said: "Most of the Jin Army's sailors are heading west, and they have already taken away a large amount of goods. Ignite the remnants of the previous thieves ......"

Speaking of this, Yang Bei suddenly felt a sudden wind on the side, and then a hard object slapped directly on his face, his whole person was full of stars, and he was directly lifted away by the mighty force, half of his head looked numb, and the hood on the top of his head didn't know where it flew.

Shi Xuan held a golden scepter inlaid with precious stones, his whole eyes were cracked, he shook off the blood stained by the beating of the Yang Cup on the golden scepter, his heart was full of anger, and he turned his eyes to see the bullying beauties in the tent, and pulled out his saber with his backhand, and slashed at the neck of one of the servants.

Shi Xuanqi has always won his father's love and credit because of his bravery, and if he wants to kill an unarmed servant to vent his anger, how can there be any twists and turns. Soon the servant let out a wail, and the expression of horror still remained on his face, and a beautiful head had rolled to the ground.

Such a bloody scene did not cause much panic in the tent, especially those weak servants, although they were already frightened to death, but they did not dare to make any exclamations, and two of them rushed forward, picked up the head that had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly wiped the blood stains on the skull's face with the shirt skirt on their bodies, and quickly put it on the table.

Seeing this scene, Shi Xuan's face showed a little smile, he raised his foot and stepped on the shoulder of a prostrate servant on the ground, and said with a cruel smile: "The prince or me, whose knife is sharper." ”

"His Royal Highness's sword is ten times sharper than the prince......"

The servant hurriedly said in a trembling voice, and after Shi Xuan heard this, he smiled nervously: "Put away your head and make people teleport home." Except for the disgusting things in the palace, who is willing to play with such fishy weapons. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Xuancai looked back at Yang Bei, the subordinate general who had turned over, covered his head and continued to crawl on the ground, and said in a cruel voice: "The barracks are the key points of the southern thieves, and the barracks are wide, but they only receive this bit of remnants, do you believe it or not?" The camp is wicked, deceiving me and ignorance? Search all battalions immediately, dare to have hidden private fighters, and the whole battalion will be beheaded! ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't cut it, don't ......"

Half of Yang Cup's head was red, swollen and cracked at the moment, and his speech was a little unclear: "Right now, it's still in the enemy territory, and the southern thief will come to the rescue quickly, and it is really not appropriate to punish too harsh at this moment......

"Shut up, stupid! If even the house slaves can't be deterred, how dare they dare to break through a strong enemy? ”

When Shi Xuan heard this, his expression became even more hideous, especially when he touched the half of the beard that was burned by the sparks, his mood became even worse, and there were signs that he was going to continue to fight Yang Bei.

At this moment, another person rushed into the tent, a white-faced and beardless eunuch, who knocked into the tent and said in a trembling voice: "It is not a pity for a slave to wait for his life." But if you can't enter the East Palace from His Royal Highness, Yongchang Zhao Kingdom will really die blindly......"

"My father and son are heirs, and the destiny of heaven is obeyed, are you waiting for slaves and maids to make discussions?"

Shi Xuan was still very angry, but his mood finally calmed down a little, and he sat back in his position with a look of residual anger, and frowned: "The Lord secretly ordered me to gather people on the plain and wait for his army to come in person." You thieves and slaves instigated me to strike first, but here you die so badly, and you get so little, that a mere stumble can protect me from the Lord's rebuke? ”

The reason why Shi Xuan was so angry was that compared with what he expected, he had gained too little from coming south this time, so little that he couldn't accept it at all.

His use of troops in the south this time was not just a hasty sneak attack, but also a huge set of strategic plans behind it. And the mastermind of this plan is his father, Emperor Shi Hu.

Shi Hu's army gathered between Youji, and it seemed that he was about to invade and kill Shi Sheng in Taiyuan. But all this is just to cover people's eyes and ears and confuse the Jin people, the main intention is to tie the strength and energy of the Jin army to the western border of Taihang Mountain, including luring Saihu Nanlai, all in order to put pressure on the Jin army in the western border.

Shi Xuan, as Shi Hu's beloved son, himself sits in southern Hebei all the year round, and Shi Hu does not deliberately hide it when he teaches the opportunity. Once it falls into the hands of the Jin army, it will completely trap them in a corner of Hebei and become a dragon.

In order to ensure that there is no major reversal in the strategy of the western front, even the troops in the east are transferred to the west. It is not worth making a big deal to come to the south of a single Saihu, but if you add the goal of merging the state, it is worth investing a lot of money.

However, in addition to the gains and losses of the state, the state also faced another problem, that is, the army has been exhausted for many years, and it has a huge number of troops, and it has gradually become unsustainable, especially in the south Luoyang Xingtai is getting stronger and stronger, which also makes the Jin people in Hebei more and more uncooperative, so it is extremely necessary to open up a source of money and food.

Relatively speaking, although the gains and losses of Bingzhou are worrying, but the situation around Bingzhou is also complicated, the local Haoqiang Xiangqu, many Hu Lu bandits who moved inward, plus the long-term greed for China, even if the Jin army has the upper hand in the battle for the state, it is difficult to settle all these hidden dangers for a while, and there is no distraction to climb the Taihang Mountain to attack Hebei.

However, if they no longer have a large amount of money and grain to use in the treasury, they will face a crisis that cannot be sustained. The place in Bingzhou is also dilapidated, and even more dilapidated than Hebei, even if it is a huge price to grab it under the nose of the Jin army, and then it will have to face the poor attack of the Jin army, and the consumption will be even more amazing.

Qingyanxu in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is one of the few plastered places in the world, and it has been in business for a long time after being recovered by the Jin army. In this way, it can not only be used against the enemy, but also can boost the morale of the army.

Therefore, no matter how other parties behave, the next focus of the state of Qian is to enter Henan and plunder, not only to collect the savings of the Jin army in the past years, but also to destroy the business results of the past few years!

In the past period, the troops of the state of Hebei have been quietly gathering in the plains and other counties of southern Hebei, Shi Xuan has been sitting in this realm all the year round, and naturally has the convenience of being close to the water, so he was appointed by Shi Hu as the governor of the former route army, responsible for opening up a gathering place for the successor army and concealing the news of the army's gathering, including raising supplies and so on.

Shi Xuan has been on the ground for a long time, and he knows his father's intentions very well, how can he be satisfied with the work of just a few strategies. Especially with the increasing number of controllable forces in his hands, and although he does not know the specific dispatch situation of the Jin army, he can also detect the signs of dispatch in the south.

The henchmen around him also have a lot of affection for him, saying that the prince has lived in Xiangguo for a long time, is nourished by wine, and lacks much to do, and it is becoming more and more disgusting to the lord.

All kinds of piles and piles also made Shi Xuan unable to sit still, and finally relented, ignoring his father's earlier orders to stand by, and launched an attack on the south in advance.

It should be said that Shi Xuan's previous fundraising was quite a means, the two sides have been facing each other for a long time, and they must be indispensable to spy on each other, and it is difficult to hide from each other if there are any large-scale actions.

But Shi Xuan also had frequent means, and did not reveal too obvious signs to the Jin army, especially when he collected enough warships to carry tens of thousands of troops across the river, which was really his proud handiwork. If tens of thousands of people were surging south, it was naturally impossible to choose a small target for such a big scheme.

Relatively speaking, although it is the easiest to capture in several towns in Henan, it is in the absence of a strong naval garrison. Once the Jin army still has a large number of naval troops stationed in Xuanjiao, it is very likely that he will be in vain this time, and his retreat may be blocked.

Fortunately, this time the bet was right, and Shi Xuan was really weak here, which also allowed Shi Xuan to make the first great achievement in the south since the founding of the country, and won one of the several important towns in Henan operated by the Jin army.

But such a victory really made him unhappy, even if he won it, but the loss was far greater than he imagined.

Shi Xuan's sneak attack this time mobilized more than 30,000 troops, almost all the troops gathered in southern Hebei during this time. Although there are more than 50,000 troops in all the garrisons in southern Hebei, after all, it is necessary to maintain a stable illusion, and it cannot be transferred too much, so as not to be detected and vigilant by the Jin army.

However, the 30,000 troops were surging south, and they still attacked a weak camp at night, and even so, the army was blocked on the river for nearly an hour, and the loss of seven or eight thousand men here alone amounted to seven or eight thousand men.

Of course, not all of these lost soldiers were shot or drowned, and some of them should have fled in battle, but it is obvious that it will be difficult to gather back in the short term to form a fighting force. Coupled with the encirclement and suppression of the thousands of remnants of the Jin army before dawn, a big battle was over, and the result in front of Shi Xuan was that he directly lost one-third of his troops.

Compared to the huge scale of more than 100,000 troops invested by the Qiang State in this war plan, it cannot be said that it is not worth losing 10,000 people to take an important entrance to the southern Jindu.

But the problem is that the hundreds of thousands of troops from the south are only a number on the books, and at least 50,000 troops are under the command of his father Shi Hu, and they have not yet rushed to the battlefield in southern Hebei to prepare for the battle. The forces that Shi Xuan could use at his disposal had already poured out all of them.

He fought against the Jin army in southern Hebei all the year round, and Shi Xuan also had a general understanding of the Jin army's troop deployment between Qingyan.

Not to mention anything else, Shen Mu of Taishan County alone always has more than 30,000 mobile troops under his command, and he is in the center to respond, whether the army attacks Zhuan or Le'an further east, his troops can go to the battlefield within ten days. Not to mention, the Jin army still has many military offices in the field between Qingyan, once these forces are mobilized in an emergency, with the troops in Shi Xuan's hands alone, it is simply a dream to want to dominate Qingyan.

Originally, Shi Xuan's best plan was that the Jin army's defense was weak, and after rushing straight to the skull, he would put away the military funds, take advantage of the pressure of the Jin army from all walks of life, and could not coordinate the gap between the advances, and then plunder Jibei, Dongping, Liaoqiu and several other fertile places, and take all the funds and goods and transfer them back to southern Hebei, which is much more lucrative than simply in the unsearchable deserted land in southern Hebei.

Moreover, he can also stick to the important southbound passage of the Xuan, even if his father Shi Hu personally leads the army here and wants to continue to Dakou Henan, he must praise and reward him.

The idea is indeed very beautiful, but the facts are in front of you, there is not only an air defense void here, but the warehouse is even more empty, regardless of how much the last seven or eight warehouses were burned by the trapped division of the Jin army, the real income of the army is only the empty camp of the Xuan, of course, you can also add the empty city of the empty city that is far away more than ten miles.

However, the damage was too great during the attack on the stumbling, and Shi Xuan did not dare to divide his troops in a big way without actual reinforcements on the back road. It seems that the plan of the homeopathic gang to plunder the capital was originally envisaged, because it was not replenished enough here in the silk room, and it is impossible to mention it now.
