"Chen Wei, this is all your responsibility, if you hadn't escaped from the battle, how could there be such a big defeat outside the city, now that the eight thousand cavalry have lost all the enemy, you can't escape the death penalty!"

Chen Wei's angry accusation made Xiao Han suddenly come back to his senses, he pointed at Chen Wei, who was full of embarrassment, and shouted, the first battle failed, not only the Chuzhou army arrayed outside the city lost most of them, but now the cavalry he brought also lost more than 8,000 people.

Thinking that he must keep the life of the king of Chuzhou City before leaving, Xiao Han's heart was cold, if Chuzhou is lost, there must be a substitute for the dead ghost to bear all the faults for him, this Chuzhou Governor Chen Wei is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

Chen Wei was immediately furious when he heard this, and he roared: "Obviously, you are greedy for merit, how can you plant the blame on my head again, this defeat will definitely be detailed to His Royal Highness King Wei." ”

"Bold, you dare to slander me, don't forget, you are just a slave of the Wei Palace." Xiao Han had a trace of disdain in his eyes, and then he said to the guards beside him, "Chen Wei, the governor of Chuzhou, escaped from Lian Zhan, and his crime was extremely heinous, so I will take him down and put him in prison." ”

As soon as Xiao Han's words came out, the captain on the city wall hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, by all means, now the only person who can turn the tide is Governor Chen, if this city of Chuzhou is not commanded by Governor Chen, the army of Chuzhou will inevitably be in turmoil." ”

"The Chuzhou army has been killed by the Southern Expeditionary Army, and there are still a few people left, and now this Chuzhou City relies on the men and horses brought by Xiao Wang, 100,000 soldiers and the remaining 20,000 cavalry can't defeat the Southern Expeditionary Army, can't they still hold this Chuzhou City?" Xiao said coldly.

When he entered the city, he was still a little jealous of Chen Wei, but after most of the Chuzhou army outside the city was lost, he was no longer afraid of Chen Wei, after all, what could a general without soldiers do?

With a wave of his hand, he still asked the guards to pull Chen Wei down.

The quarrel on the city wall did not escape Lu Fei's observation.

He said to Luo Hong; "Chen Wei seems to have been arrested."

"Great, Xiao Han's is simply self-severing." Luo Hong said that he had seen Xiao Han when he was in Chang'an before, so when Xiao Han appeared in the city, he recognized it at first sight.

Picking up the binoculars and confirming it, Xiao Han continued; "General, this Chen Wei is a talent, this person was born in the Chen family in Chuzhou, but he does not have the arrogance of the children of the wealthy family, in the army, he and the soldiers eat and live together, and he is very considerate to the soldiers, because of this reason, the combat power of the Chuzhou army is better than that of other Wei armies."

Lu Fei nodded, when the two armies faced each other, Chen Wei's strategy was right, this time if it was not a fraudulent defeat, but a direct confrontation, although they could win completely, but the loss would be not small.

Because these Chuzhou troops are completely a deadly way of fighting, it can be seen that the morale of the Chuzhou army.

"Looking at it like this, Xiao Han seems to want to use Chen Wei as a scapegoat, this cavalry has always been the treasure of King Wei, and now that he has lost so much, King Wei will inevitably blame him, but no matter what, this is a good thing for us." Lu Fei said slowly.

Luo Xin asked at this time; "Is it going to shell Chuzhou City below?"

"No need, now that the King of Wei has stuffed 130,000 horses into a small Chuzhou city, the grain and grass in this city will definitely be unsustainable, and can only be transferred from other cities, if this is the case, we will continue to besiege without attacking, we only need to cut off their supply lines." Lu Fei said.

Bai Mu returned at this time, and he said, "Leave the matter of attacking the supply line to the last general." ”

From Huaizhou to Jinling City, it was the time to give full play to the advantage of cavalry, and he said: "Well, only you are the most suitable for this matter." ”

Having set a plan to besiege Chuzhou City, Lu Fei asked Luo Hong to lead a musket team to cut off the official road on the south side of Chuzhou City, so that Chuzhou City was completely besieged by the Southern Expeditionary Army.

In the face of the magnificent deployment of the Southern Expeditionary Army, no army in Chuzhou City dared to come out to meet the battle, and Xiao Han could only watch Chuzhou City being trapped on all sides.

Seeing this, he immediately sent a messenger to send a flying pigeon to deliver the news to Jinling City, hoping to attack the Southern Expeditionary Army from inside and outside.

At the same time, Ye Qingyun loaded the soldiers onto the ship at night with the help of sixteen warships and fifty large merchant ships, and the next day, the fleet went directly to Jinling City along the Yangtze River.

It has to be said that the landing in Jinling City this time is a risky military operation, if this battle can be successful, it can take Jinling City in one fell swoop, and even capture the King of Wei, so that the city of Wei is as easy to be broken as a group of dragons without a leader.

It's just that according to the information provided by Li San, the king of Wei placed most of the artillery purchased from Qingzhou in Jinling City, and there was even a musket team in the city, compared to other cities, Jinling City was a hard bone.

"Let's go!"

According to the scheduled time, the battleship carried the Dengzhou army and the recruited recruits to Jinling City, and on the flagship deck, Ye Qingyun walked to Yue Yun's side and stood side by side, his eyes were a little sharp.

Yue Yun smiled when he saw it: "After two battles, Ye Dudu has become much older. ”

"General Yue smiled, he just saw the atrocities of King Wei in Yangzhou, and he was just concerned."

Yue Yun was silent for a while, and he said: "I have also heard about this matter, the Great Yu Kingdom is falling apart, and the people are the most suffering, because of this, we should support His Royal Highness to restore the orthodoxy of the Great Yu Kingdom." ”

Ye Qingyun's expression was firm, and he said: "What General Yue said is true, the northern barbarians have not been eliminated, and the problems in Dayu should be solved as soon as possible." ”

"Not only the barbarians, the real enemy of Dayu is at sea." Yue Yun frowned.

"Oh? I don't know what General Yue's high opinion is? ”

Yue Yun came to Tongzhou after receiving Xiao Ming's order, and at the same time he left a thousand soldiers stationed in the Three Mountains Kingdom to ensure the safety of the Three Mountains Kingdom, he said: "In addition to the barbarians, there are also the Wa Kingdom, and the current Wa Kingdom is also equipped with arquebuses, and has been trained by the Dutch, and fighting with them must be different from the vassal kings of the Great Yu Kingdom. ”

"Secondly, the western countries other than the Wa Kingdom are extending their tentacles to the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and the Dutch have already reminded His Highness that there will definitely be a war at that time."

Ye Qingyun shook his head when he heard this, "The Great Chongqing Kingdom is really full of disasters and difficulties, and it is still in an eventful autumn, if this is the case, then it should be even more important to stabilize the country as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qingyun realized why Xiao Ming wanted to take Jinling City directly, in order to end the war in Wei as soon as possible.

Now the Great Yu Kingdom only has Weidi, Yongdi, Qi bloodline or royal, other cities are occupied by the vassal kings with different surnames, only by taking the rich Wei land and controlling the ore source can they have the capital to fight the world alone.

Thinking of this, a trace of perseverance flashed in Ye Qingyun's eyes.
