In the summer daytime, the Yellow River looks extraordinarily magnificent, and occasionally one or two small river islands appear on the mighty river, which are covered with lush reeds, and some unknown water birds hover and roost on the reeds. The river water, which has not yet turned into a turbid yellow soup for later generations, still has a bit of clarity, and the undercurrent is surging under the seemingly calm river surface.

On the seemingly calm river, a fleet of boats sped north. A few hours earlier, they had followed the waterway, but in a different direction. Compared to the time of departure, the whole fleet looked much more messy, and there was no such imposing picture, and even the flags hoisted on the ships looked listless.

"I didn't expect it, it was really unexpected, Shen Weizhou actually came here in person......"

On the warship that Tenny was on, several generals sat in the cabin, all of them hung their heads and even breathed quite depressed, lest Tenny's bloodshot eyes look at him. There was silence for nearly half an hour before a general slapped his knees and sighed.

"Yes, Ling Changjin is just a lonely and weak crowd, who would have thought that Shen Weizhou would dare to take risks in person and sit here......"

With that sigh, the oppressive atmosphere in the cabin was broken, and several other generals also sighed, their tones full of regret. It seems that this success and failure are completely tied to Shen Weizhou's people, if it weren't for his people sitting in Lingchang, this battle would definitely not be more than a failure.

Tenny sat in the middle of the room, and when he heard the general sigh like this, his face became even more gloomy, and the gloomy owl on his face showed that he was in a very bad mood. It was only after he ordered the retreat that he knew that Shen Weizhou of Huainan was in the Lingchangjin camp, and he also knew what kind of important opportunity he missed by retreating for a while.

Shen Weizhou was actually in the Lingchangjin military camp! When Tenny learned the news, his teeth were almost crushed, and the remorse in his heart almost broke his bowels. Although Chen Shi had said that Shen Weizhou would personally sit in the sour jujube when he reported the military situation, Tian Ni just listened to it and didn't believe it at all.

The biggest goal of planning this battle was that he only wanted to disrupt the many arrangements of the Huainan Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, and at the same time strive for a reputation for defeating the Huainan Army.

In his opinion, the Huainan Army on the south bank of the Yellow River is just a lone division, just like he himself will never take the lead in charging into battle now.

Shen Weizhou and his people are incomparable to him regardless of their identity and title, and he is the head of the Jiangdong Gaomen and the emperor's son-in-law of the Southern Dynasty, and he tramples on Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, and exalts his prestige in the north and south.

Such a person, whether in the south or in the north, is a person who needs to be protected, even if he is slightly ill, he will make his subordinates palpitate, and he is actually standing in a dangerous position on the front line of the Yellow River as a lonely and weak person!

If you stick to it at the time, you may not have a chance of winning......

The reason why Tian Ni ordered the withdrawal of the army was that he was worried about the safety of Jijun's nest, and the other was also deterred by the fierce counterattack of Lingchangjin's Huainan Army.

Originally, in his plan, he wanted to concentrate superior forces, tear apart the defense line of the Huainan Army on the south bank of the Yellow River with lightning speed, and then use the power of this victory to win more attention from the King of Wei, so as to grasp more military power in Hebei.

The Huainan Army has long been prepared in Lingchangjin, and this is already one of the variables. Later, in the battle, he failed to capture this ferry at a small cost, but suffered heavy losses under the stubborn resistance of the Huainan army, especially the huge casualties of his own descendant army and the cowardly avoidance of the battle by the head of the other army, which has approached the bottom line of Tianni.

As a result, the Huainan Army actually took advantage of the weakness of Ji County to launch an attack on Hebei and directly threatened the root of Ji County, which was completely beyond the bottom line of Tian Ni's heart.

If the battle in Henan went well, he would be willing to hold on a little longer, at least taking Lingchangjin meant that his expedition was not in vain, but the Huainan army's last tragic counterattack made Tian Ni completely cut off this idea.

In the final analysis, the main purpose of his dispatch of troops this time was not to occupy Lingchangjin, but to covet the prestige of the Huainan Army. In the absence of large-scale reinforcements in Yecheng, even if he took Lingchangjin and Suojube, it would be impossible for him to give up Hebei and stubbornly defend Henan.

The tenacity of the enemy army in Lingchangjin completely exceeded Tianni's expectations, and at the same time, Kijun faced an extremely serious threat. Under such circumstances, even if he lost his troops and continued to attack Lingchangjin, it would be at the cost of the stability of Ji County, which was too heavy, and it was impossible to win the praise of King Wei.

In that case, admitting the failure of this military operation and returning to Jijun as soon as possible to stop the loss is a normal choice. But the premise of all this is that Lingchangjin is a tasteless and regrettable chicken rib for him.

However, Shen Weizhou was actually in the camp on the shore of Lingchangjin, which had a completely different meaning!

In today's kingdom, although there are many reasons for the current civil strife, the most important reason is recognized as the defeat of Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, on his southern expedition. And it was Shen Weizhou who defeated Zhongshan King Shihu!

Tenny could imagine what an astonishing reward he would receive if he could capture and kill Shen Weizhou. At the very least, even if Jijun is destroyed by the Huainan army, he has such a heavy achievement, the King of Wei will definitely not blame him, and he will become the most dazzling general in Hebei with this!

You must know that the prestige of Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, in the country of Qiang, is definitely not a temporary victory or defeat, but the prestige accumulated by the southern and northern wars for more than ten years.

Even if the prestige of the Huai First World War was slightly damaged before, but with the civil strife of the Qiang Kingdom for several years, the people's hearts gradually became biased, and even under the command of Shi Kan, the king of Wei, there were many people who believed that only Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, could end the chaotic war in Hebei today, and repeat the strong and prosperous unification of the ancestor Shi Le when he was alive.

From this, we can know what kind of amazing reputation Shen Weizhou, who was able to defeat Shi Hu and end the prosperity of the Kingdom of Qi on the frontal battlefield, would bring Tian Ni! It can be said that Shen Weizhou's goal alone is enough to make Tian Ni abandon the entire Ji County and gamble on all the elite troops to fight hard.

But now, just to preserve their own strength, these dog thieves actually disregarded such an amazing feat, and fled backwards without stopping for a moment after receiving the order to retreat, and dared to use this as an excuse to shirk responsibility and get rid of responsibility, which is simply shameless!

If he could, Tenny would have drawn his saber and slaughtered all the dog thieves on the ship, but he couldn't. When he ordered the withdrawal of the troops, the Huainan Army's counteroffensive was still violent, and the leaders of the various armies had already begun to retreat.

Even if he had already learned that Shen Weizhou was in Lingchangjin at that time, he didn't dare to change the military order, and those who fled would no longer be under his control.

Even if he still has more than 2,000 or nearly 3,000 direct elites in his hands, he does not dare to make a desperate bet in such a situation, not to mention whether the Huainan army has any strange troops on the shore, and the threat suffered by Ji County in Hebei alone makes him dare not underestimate the Huainan army again.

Giving up the continued attack on Lingchangjin, Tian Ni's operation this time can be described as a complete failure, and what the strength of the Huainan Army attacking Ji County was, and how many great results it had achieved, made Tian Ni dare not think deeply.

Under such circumstances, if he still insists on killing these military leaders to vent his anger, the army will become even more chaotic, and it is unknown whether he will even return to Hebei in its entirety.

Therefore, although Tian Ni's heart was as anxious as a furnace in his arms, these anger could only be suppressed, and he said in a deep voice in the banquet: "The enemies of Henan are originally lonely and weak, but it is really surprising that Shen Weizhou actually sits here in person. This failure is not only due to the disadvantage of the soldiers, but I am also deeply responsible. ”

When the generals on board heard that Tenny had actually made a self-examination, they were all slightly stunned for a while, and their expressions became a little unnatural. Previously, they were shocked by the Huainan army's fearless counterattack, and feared that their troops would suffer heavy losses and thus collapse and evade the battle, but in retrospect, there was no lack of regret.

After all, at that time, the Jijun army did have an obvious advantage, and it had already occupied most of the camps, otherwise they would not have gathered their troops on the shore to prepare for the battle victory.

So on the way back, they were also worried, worried that Tenny's anger would affect them, this is not a benevolent and righteous lord, once they disobey their will, it is common to beat and scold, and it is not surprising to directly anger and kill.

They were accustomed to Tian Ni's consistent strength, so after being summoned to the ship, they subconsciously thought about how to shirk responsibility, after all, even Tian Ni himself probably didn't expect Shen Weizhou to appear in Lingchangjin. And Shen Weizhou was a famous general who once defeated the strong with the weak and defeated Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, and they were defeated by Shen Weizhou, which was a normal thing.

But the truth was such a truth, and it was told from the mouth of the always tyrannical and powerful Tenny, which still made them feel very suspicious.

Seeing the suspicious look on everyone's faces, Tian Ni just sneered in his heart, but his demeanor was even more kind: "There are many accidents in this battle, even if you fail to win, most of them are not the fault of the war. At least the people of Huainan are already weak, and they know that Shen Weizhou, a southern thief, actually has the courage to stay near the river. Later, when I return to the county, it is appropriate to reorganize the army and fight again, not to give the enemy a chance to turn around, and quickly capture and kill Shen Weizhou, such a special achievement, I will share it with you! ”

When the people heard this, their hearts became hot, and they began to clamor in the middle of the table.

"Shen Wei is in Lingchang, I hope you can keep this secret strictly and don't leak it to the outside world. When I return to the county later, reorganize my troops, and gather my troops, I will definitely not forget your loyalty to help the war this time......"

Speaking of this, Tian Ni cheered up even more, put on an excited look, and directly repaid the generals in the banquet. Of course, the so-called heavy compensation is just words, but it is just a division of the original rural sphere of influence of Jijun to everyone here.

But even if it was just a lie, everyone was excited for a while, and their emotions were all detonated. They were accustomed to Tenny's prestige and promise in Jijun, and they didn't find Tenny's attitude strange.

They don't dare to count on such a great achievement as capturing and killing the southern thief Shen Weizhou, their strength is not enough, even if they can wake up, they will only let themselves become the target of the public. Tian Ni is not, once he gets this great achievement, he will become more important in the mind of King Wei, not only can he take advantage of the situation to sweep Henan, but it is even possible to directly return to the power of Xiangguo!

Under the temptation of such an astonishing reward, it was only natural for Tenny to lower his body in order to get the full help of everyone present. Moreover, the fighter plane is fleeting, in order to gather a large army as quickly as possible to fight again, it is undoubtedly the best choice to engulf the remaining armed forces in the county.

In the past, they were only forced to obey because of Tian Ni's coercion, but now they have the basis for cooperation, that is, to work together to attack and kill Shen Weizhou. Tian Ni is bound to win this, and even if they don't have such a big vision, they can take this opportunity to rely on Tian Ni's support to encroach on the villagers' forces to strengthen themselves, which can be regarded as eating meat and drinking soup, and each has its own gains.

Therefore, after hearing Tenny's promise, everyone also slapped their chests for a while, and said that they would be the first to look forward to it, create special merits, and never have any second thoughts.

Of course, they still don't know that the countryside of Jijun may have been attacked and plundered by the Huainan army upstream. Their return this time is not a great opportunity to encroach on the villagers, but a bitter battle.

Naturally, Tenny didn't intend to tell these people the truth, and after stabilizing the situation, he even took the trouble to ask the people about the first target to attack after returning to the county later.

Everyone was even more motivated for a while, and they spoke enthusiastically, and one of them said: "Wang Guang's dog thieves had many defeats before the battle, and the last general had heard about it before, but he didn't dare to report it to the envoy because he was worried that the battle would shake the army's morale soon." The dog thief is now leading the crowd to attack the Hu Pavilion, if you know that our army has not succeeded in attacking Lingchang, there will be two thoughts to breed......"

This general was one of the military leaders who had gathered with him to talk about Wang Guang, and because he learned from Wang Guang about the bravery of the Huainan army, he led the crowd to preserve his strength at the beginning of the war, so he suffered the least damage. However, he will not regard this as a favor, and once he gets the opportunity, he will immediately sell Wang Guang.

"In this way, after returning to the county, collect the dog thief king light!"

After hearing this, Tian Ni's eyes were also fierce, he knew that the people and horses on the way to Huting were already fierce, and naturally he didn't care about the military leader named Wang Guang, raised his hand and pointed to the general who spoke, and said with a smile: "I know that there is an excellent river bay horse farm in the king thief township, and if this thief is defeated later, this place will be owned by General Zhu, and I will raise good horses for the army of Jijun!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel more enthusiastic, and they raised their hands to speak, reporting the lawlessness in the county, hoping to gain a lot when the township capital was divided later, but they didn't notice that Tianni's smile was getting colder and colder.

During the day, the field of vision is broad, which is more conducive to military marching, and it took most of the night for the Jijun soldiers to set off before, but now the army is retreating, just past noon, and the land of Hebei is already vaguely in sight.

This time, Tenny did not choose the ferry port where he had set off before, but only sent a clipper to enter the camp to warn and inquire about the news by the way, and after learning that no trace of the enemy was found, Tenny led his army to continue upstream.

Finally, the Jijun soldiers turned to the mouth of the Weishui River and left the Yellow River. The reason why they did not go straight to Xinle was because if they continued to go upstream, the physical exhaustion of the army would be greater.

Moreover, Xinle is the base camp of the garrison that Tianni focuses on, and there are still more than 2,000 garrisons stationed there, and it may not be broken in a short time. Even if it has been captured by the Huainan army, those battalions will be used by the invading Huainan army to resist Tianni. Tian Ni already had a shadow in Lingchangjin, and he didn't think that his tired defeated army could defeat the Huainan army head-on.

Therefore, he chose to land in Weishui, a little farther away from Xinle, first exterminate some of the heroic strength in the realm in exchange for a part of the previous promise to stabilize the morale of the army, and then encircle and extinguish the invading Huainan army from the land, so as to increase the chances of victory, after all, he has been operating in Jijun for a long time, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of geography and manpower.

Moreover, Weishui further entered Wei County, which was close to the base camp of Yecheng, and Tian Ni had been searching in Ji County for many years, and a large number of assets and goods were stored in several garden villas on the banks of the Weishui River. He was also worried that these family backgrounds would be confiscated by the Huainan Army or the thieves aroused in the realm, so he would be relieved to get out of the army first.
