In fact, if you really want to say weak, Huofeng is not necessarily really weak, after completely controlling Jizhou, Huofeng's strength has increased dramatically, maybe most of them are indeed low, but now the number of dead and wounded is nearly 200,000.

This is also the biggest characteristic of all kinds of rebel armies, there are not many others, that is, there are many troops, even if some are purely made up, but the number of people is indeed really there.

And don't forget, the original army of Jizhou has fought a lot of wars, fought with the Liang court, fought with Youwang, and fought several hard battles, and the combat power is not high, but it will never be too low.

It is precisely because of this that Ashina Huqin will have a headache for Huofeng's defense line, facing the Yellow River, the advantage of the cavalry cannot be brought into play, and the defense line is dense and cannot be fought.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhou Shaoyu is the best one, just because he has the least number of troops and no natural danger. On the other hand, the Liang court, not only has a large number of troops, but it is really impossible to retreat, and there is still the Yellow River to defend.

However, it is precisely this point that is worth taking advantage of.

Of course, the imperial army is not all stationed together, and the border distance is long, so it naturally needs to be dispersed, which is nothing more than the key deployment of some more important places.

But in any case, although it did not rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to defend it, even if it could not win, it could retreat and cross the river at any time as a barrier. It is definitely advantageous for the girder side.

And Ashina Huqin will definitely be dissatisfied with this, fight by himself, others cross the river, nothing happens, but if he doesn't care, when he attacks others in the future, God knows if the Liang army will rush out.

In other words, if you want to be safe, it is to drive all the troops of the Liang court to the other side of the Yellow River, this thing is relative, as long as you retreat to cross the river, and then think about it, the difficulty is not ordinary.

The difficulty in solving this problem lies in the fact that the Liang is guarded by the walled city and has a large number of troops, so it is not so easy to provoke, unless it ...... Suddenly there are fewer troops!

And then there are really fewer troops!

The Liang side is mainly to guard against the Turks, but for the fire phoenix in Yuzhou, the defense is very ordinary, no matter how you look at it, the fire phoenix will not provoke the big beam, and the enemy is not enough?

But people are coming to attack!

It was June, Huofeng first returned to Luoyang, and then gathered tens of thousands of troops directly into Huizhou, this move was too sudden, the latter's defense was basically defenseless, resulting in Huofeng connecting several cities within half a month, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

The seizure of a large number of people greatly relieved the population pressure within Huofeng.

When the news reached Jinling, all the courtiers were shocked. It doesn't make sense, it's so dignified, how could Huofeng suddenly come over, this shouldn't be, even if Xiao Jiwen is not in Yuzhou now, but there is still a Turkic tiger eyeing her, how dare you add enemies at this time?

That's right, a court and a thief are indeed born opponents, but after so long, if you don't offend me, I won't offend you, and there is already a tacit understanding, right.

Even Gao Yuyao was also very annoyed, she has always liked to control the overall layout, how could she be comfortable when things suddenly develop in an unexpected direction.

Bisheng suddenly came out with the news, saying that the remnants of the Wei State in the south seemed to have the intention of resurrection, whether it was true or not, they always had to take precautions, but in this way, it was difficult to mobilize the troops in some places, considering the urgency of the military situation, they could only transfer troops from Xuzhou, which was the nearest distance, and as for the empty Xuzhou defense, it was replenished by Qingzhou.

It's just that this order comes and goes, it takes time after all, and the army will not be mobilized very quickly, and when the imperial army finally arrives, Huofeng has already harmed more than half of Huizhou, and with a heart, it also ambushed halfway, and the two sides fought for the first time, and Daliang was defeated.

However, Huofeng's victory is not easy, if the ambush is not successful, the two armies will definitely lose in a direct battle, after all, the combat power is here. Rao is so, and the number of dead and wounded is not small.

Fortunately, after all, he won, and he can continue to do the scourge, Huofeng's eyes froze, and he suddenly looked to the east......

Jinling, early in the morning.

Soon after the city gate was opened, the people in the suburbs and the merchants who traveled far away gathered outside the city to prepare to enter the city, and suddenly saw a fast horse in the distance, and a pawn rode on a horse and held a sign and shouted: "Eight hundred miles of emergency military situation, get out of the way quickly!" ”

The crowd retreated, wondering in their hearts that something was not just going on.

After a short time, the ongoing court meeting was suddenly interrupted.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the rebellious army has broken Hefei, and the soldiers are surrounding Feidong!"

"What! How could it be so fast!? ”

Feidong is in the east of Jinling, the distance is only three hundred miles, this distance, even if it is a normal march, it only takes a few days to reach the city of Jinling, how to make people not surprised!

This is also due to the fact that the fire phoenix side does not have a boat, otherwise it will be faster to go straight down the river by boat.

Don't forget how Huofeng started, the sergeants under his command are like snowballing bigger and bigger, as if they have become a scale.

In such an urgent situation, no one dared to be negligent, and at the same time as urgently ordering the transfer of troops from the north, Jinling entered a state of martial law. Gao Yuyao ignored the opposition of the courtiers, refused to defend it, and directly led the little emperor to lead the army.

Jingshi was besieged, and in the more than 300 years since the founding of the Great Liang, there has never been such a ridiculous thing, and Gao Yuyao will never allow such a thing to happen in her hands. Not to mention anything else, Jingshi was surrounded, and the most affected person was definitely her, the queen mother who controlled the government, and her reputation would inevitably plummet at that time.

Huofeng's move was too sudden, not to mention Gao Yuyao's surprise, even Zhou Shaoyu was surprised.

"What is she going to do?" Zhou Shaoyu was a little stunned, don't be so powerful, don't really take Jinling at that time.

"Maybe it's unwilling." Wu Meiniang guessed that she happened to come to the front line to have a look, and she would not leave until a few days.

"Hmm, what do you say?" Since someone answered, Zhou Shaoyu didn't bother to think about it.

"What do you have to leave behind in your life?" Wu Meiniang said so. Then he said with a little resentment: "No matter what, it's still an empress." ”

Zhou Shaoyu kind of understood.

In the secret conversation that day, although Huofeng was unwilling, he finally nodded and agreed, and then discussed many things in detail. But how to implement it depends on the specific situation of Huofeng, but no one expected that this girl would actually point to Jinling!

It's impossible to really fight down, Daliang is not so weak, it's just that Huofeng seized the gap to attack Huizhou instantly, and marched to attack the city quickly, and after defeating the first wave of Daliang's army, he directly ignored the all-out march towards Jinling, which was really unexpected, beyond everyone's expectations.

However, Gao Yuyao has expanded the army several times, and the defense force is sufficient, so he will not fall, and the reason why he took the initiative to go out is nothing more than not wanting to have a drama where the Beijing division is surrounded.

At present, it seems that although Huofeng agreed to Li Xiuning's final proposal, how can the empress come down in a few years, how can she not have any ideas, and point her sword at Jinling, even if it cannot be broken, it can leave a heavy mark in history. But what if it is breached? The drama must be different again.

In any case, Zhou Shaoyu's opinion is not big, anyway, the ultimate goal has been achieved, the situation of the Great Liang Imperial Court is urgent, and the troops are withdrawn from the northern defense line again, which makes Ashina suddenly ready to move, waiting for the news to be confirmed, not to mention leading the army south to attack Qingzhou, not for anything else, at least to drive the Liang army to the other side of the Yellow River.

Just when Ashina Huqin was facing the Daliang defense line, Gao Yuyao and Huofeng finally faced each other in a place called Hanshan.

Hanshan is not a mountain, but a small city, located at the junction of two states. At this time, it was already under the control of Huofeng, and with this as the center, the army was stationed in formation, after all, such a small city could not accommodate so many people.

And thirty miles away, Gao Yuyao led 100,000 Liang troops to station, not only that, but other troops were also on the way here, so it seemed that the fire phoenix had the advantage at the moment, but in fact, it was not. No matter how much it snowballs, most of the troops under Huofeng's command are also a number, and their combat power is even lower. Therefore, we can't afford to delay it at all, and the more we drag it out, the more severe the situation will become. The only advantage is that the morale is strong, the Great Liang Jingshi is in front of him, as long as he succeeds in fighting all the way, it is the work of changing the dynasty and changing the day from the dragon!

After a simple tentative attack, Huofeng directly launched a general attack on the first day, intending to break through in one fell swoop when Gao Yuyao's side was just stationed and most tired.

This move was sudden, I have to say that it did work wonders at the beginning, Gao Yuyao was not defenseless, but she was in a hurry, and the soldiers under her command were inevitably weak, and the battle situation was together, and it was a little pressed and beaten.

This battle was fought for three consecutive days, and there were deaths at every moment, including rivers of blood flowing in the mountain realm, and there were more than enough dead bodies, stumps and broken arms as far as the eye could see.

It's a pity that Huofeng's 'snowball' army can hold out for three days is already extraordinary, the more he fights, the more weak he becomes, the situation has been reversed, and the red-eyed Huofeng even directly led his own army to attack blatantly, with a clear goal of pointing directly at Gao Yuyao's army.

Seeing that Huofeng broke through layer after layer of defense, Gao Yuyao said that it was impossible not to be afraid.

At the beginning, Gao Yuyao did personally conquer Ganzhou, but the war he personally experienced was not much, and no matter how many deaths and injuries he had, he would not have this scale, as long as he won and turned around, how many people died behind him was nothing more than a number, and there was no intuitive feeling.

But now it's different, corpses everywhere, it's hard to see it or not, everywhere are dead people, swords and swords are overflowing with blood, the impact of such a scene is too great, which makes Gao Yuyao, who lives in the deep palace all year round, extremely uncomfortable.

To be able to hold on, it is nothing more than to support it, she can't retreat, she can't retreat, once she retreats, the Liang army that has lost its center of gravity is bound to collapse, although it may not be impossible to defend Jinling, but at that time, Gao Yuyao's prestige will only fall to the trough, and there are definitely people who take the opportunity to make trouble, just to oust her from power, and then promote the auxiliary ministers to 'support' the little emperor.

How can it be done, no matter what, Gao Yuyao does not want to be slaughtered. Not to mention, although Huo Feng Chong is fierce at this moment, on the whole, the advantage has been attributed to his side!

"Pass the decree, leave five hundred people, and the rest of the guards will all step forward to defend against the enemy!" Gao Yuyao gritted her teeth and ordered.

If all defenses are really breached, what is the use of leaving the guards alone? It's nothing more than the last barrier, it's better to send it out at this moment, while there are still other lines of defense to support it, and work together to suppress it.

At the same time, Huofeng also raised his sword and shouted: "The Emperor of the Great Liang Dog and the Queen Mother are in front of you, and all the soldiers are fast and immortal!" A change of day is now! ”

Huofeng's sudden force, and the morale of the soldiers in the rest of the battlefields increased greatly, and they struggled to kill in the direction of the Daliang Central Army. But the Great Liang army will not sit still, they are all ruthless, if the emperor and the queen mother are lost, where will they have a way to live?

The two armies, which were almost exhausted, seemed to have fought each other, and the battle became fierce again......

The remnant sun, the setting sun is like blood, sprinkled on the earth.

The tall and strong war horse stepped on, behind him were countless corpses being burned, Ashina Huqin turned over and dismounted, the corners of his mouth smiled evilly, and in front of him was a ferry, which was now occupied by the Turks, and left many ships that had not had time to destroy.

I just wanted to drive the Daliang army to the other side, but after the victory, the Daliang defense line was empty, and it would be a pity to let go of this kind of opportunity.

Now most of the forces of Daliang are gathering in the direction of Jinling, and there will not be many troops around at all, and even if there are, they will not easily come over to fight.

The army crossing the river was not large, but it was enough to set off a storm in the still empty territory of Qingzhou.

In the Western Regions, Xiao Jiao's wife returned to the sheath with a sharp blade, took the surrender letter of the king of a certain country in the Western Regions, and then turned over and entered the capital of this country, and the people in the city knelt on both sides of the road, not daring to look up.

In the land of Nanyue, the blood stains on the long knife were shaken off by Wednesday Mountain, and the newly captured city was not small, and there was a large dock and many ships and shipbuilders, so it was completely possible to transfer the original team brought with it as a new base.

On the border of Huizhou, Huofeng covered the wound on his shoulder, looked back deeply, and said in his heart, "I will come back again, even if I am no longer in charge at that time!"

Jinling, Gao Yuyao sat in front of the hall, and in the square in front of him, all the civil and military officials bowed to him, chanting a thousand years old, and no one asked why their little emperor never came out. In the first battle, the Huofeng rebelled army, Huofeng was injured and fled, leaving part of the army to recover Huizhou, and Gao Yuyao led the army to return.

Obviously, it was only a few days, but after this time and again, it was a world of difference, Gao Yuyao's prestige was even greater, and no one dared to speak out against it, at least on the surface.

And after this battle, Gao Yuyao seemed to have an understanding and wanted to understand more things.

At this time, the news of the Turkic invasion of Qingzhou had come, but Gao Yuyao was not flustered.

Since the strategy of playing balanced attrition has failed, that's okay. Although she was ahead of her expected time, she still held the best cards in her hands.

On that day, the 50,000 vanguard army had already set out, and Gao Yuyao led the 150,000 troops to personally conquer the Northern Expedition to conquer the Turks, plus the troops that originally belonged to the Qingzhou defense line but were transferred halfway and those troops who reunited after the defeat.

A total of 350,000, called 500,000, all marched to Qingzhou!
