Lian Po's thought made the Qin army gradually lose control.

The Qin army was already racially mixed and factional, and the sergeants were not necessarily convinced by Wu Qi, who was suddenly appointed as the governor of the capital. Otherwise, Fu Jian would not have arranged for Fu Rong to accompany Wu Qi to Shouyang.

For Lian Po, the main general, the sergeant is even less concerned. In addition, Murong Trai and Yao Chang were suddenly relieved of their military powers, which made the Qiang and Xianbei soldiers dissatisfied, and they left the base camp, so they naturally became more and more unscrupulous.

By the time Lian Po realized that the situation was wrong, it was too late.

As a veteran and a famous general, Lian Po has rich experience in managing the army, and knows that the more grassroots soldiers are, the more they like to stand in a small circle, and if they are forcibly suppressed, it will only backfire and make the situation more and more out of control.

The only way is to continue to indulge and buy people's hearts.

In ancient times, there were not a few generals who deliberately connived at their sergeants to enter the city to burn and loot, and even some famous generals had this habit as a reward and welfare for the sergeants.

Between benevolence and victory, Lian Po chose the latter.

Lian Po's "knowledge" made the officers and men of the Qin army quite satisfied, and their resistance to this chief general was slightly alleviated, but there was no restraint, and their actions became more and more unscrupulous.

Where the army passed, the lives were devastated, and the people complained and suffered unspeakably.

Even if the bandits entered the city, there was no such brutality. For the people who have been living in the south, how can they have suffered such a crime, and at the same time they are afraid, the resentment in their hearts is also budding.

For those displaced people who have fled from the north, it is inevitable that they will be on the run. This time, they had no way to escape, and they were forced into a desperate situation.

Although Lian Po couldn't bear it, he was powerless and couldn't stop it. In the back, even the soldiers of the Inhuman Legion followed suit.

As the main general, the only thing Lian Po can restrain is the 50,000 soldiers of Handan City. In this way, the soldiers of Handan City complained a lot about the main general.

"Don't suffer from inequality."

This time, Lian Po became not a human being inside and out.

As the army advanced, the Qin army's brutality and inhumanity spread in Yuzhou. When the people in front got the news, they were frightened and evacuated the city one by one in advance and fled to the mountains.

Before leaving, the common people hid the grain, and if they couldn't hide it, they simply destroyed it with fire. Even the most cowardly person will explode when he is cornered.

In addition to escaping to the mountains, there are also fierce people who are ruthless to the lone Qin soldiers, and there are more and more cases where the Qin army goes out and never returns.

The further south the army advanced, the more difficult it became.

At first, Lian Po transported a large amount of grain and grass to the base camp, but in the middle period, even his own grain and grass had to be scavenged everywhere in order to raise all the resources.

The morale of the army was severely damaged.

If this development continues, Lian Po is afraid that he needs the base camp to help with grain and grass, which makes the good-faced Lian Po ashamed, gritting his teeth and not opening his mouth to the base camp.

In order to raise rations, the pace of the march became slower and slower.

On the eleventh day of the battle, Lian Po's troops finally passed through Yuzhou and entered Jingzhou. Yuzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is far from the whole of Yuzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, but only the southern part of Yuzhou.

In comparison, Jingzhou is equivalent to the size of ten Yuzhou.

Lian Po's army entered the boundary of Jingzhou, which was really like a fish entering the sea, and suddenly the sea and the sky widened. Lian Po also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Huan Chong Department was defeated, the hard days would come to an end.

But as soon as the army arrived in Jingzhou, Lian Po got bad news: "The 30,000 troops sent to Jingzhou by Fu Rong have long been wiped out by the Huan Chong Department. ”

…………

Why did the 30,000 Qin troops stationed in Jingzhou suddenly collapse? The matter has to start from the night when Ouyang Shuo learned that Wu Qi was appointed by Fu Jian as the temporary governor.

On the same day, Ouyang Shuo discussed with Jia Xu and his ministers until late at night, and one of the arrangements was aimed at the 30,000 Qin troops in Jingzhou.

Ouyang Shuo knew very well that once these 30,000 Qin troops were transformed by Wu Qi, it would be a scourge. On the contrary, before Wu Qi came into contact with this army, this army was a pile of mud.

The battle of Weishui in history has proved how unreliable this Qin army is.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo visited Xie Shi overnight and asked Xie Shi to give Huan Chong an order to take the initiative to attack the Qin army in Jingzhou and exterminate it in order to eliminate future troubles.

At that time, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Huan clan where Huan Chong was located was a big family that could compete with the Xie family. Huan Chong himself is also an experienced veteran, and the 100,000 troops under his command have all been on the battlefield, not a weak brigade.

Although it is not as good as the Beifu army trained by Xie Xuan, Huan Chong can compete with Xie Xuan's east and west, which shows that the 100,000 army is still very combative.

Huan Chong received the order and took the initiative to attack, and the 30,000 troops in Jingzhou naturally suffered and were defeated in a battle.

…………

After receiving the news, Lian Po was silent, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart for the first time. Before arriving in Jingzhou, Lian Po sent a liaison officer to enter Jingzhou first, get in touch with the three Qin troops, and agree on a meeting place.

The liaison officer has not returned for a long time, which has made Lian quite puzzled.

Now that the truth is revealed, Lian Po has paid a little attention to the Huan Chong Department for the first time.

Just a hint of it, of course.

According to the information provided by Fu Jian, the Huan Chong Department was only 100,000 troops. Not to mention that Lian Po led 250,000 troops this time, even if he only relied on 150,000 Inhuman Legions, Lian Po was confident that he would defeat the Huan Chong Division.

The combat power between the two is not on the same level at all.

This time, Huan Chong's troops defeated 30,000 Qin troops, which was not enough to make Lian Po feel jealous. In the base camp, Lian Po has seen what kind of goods the so-called million Qin army is.

"Okay, isn't that interesting?"

Looking at the central part of Jingzhou from afar, Lian is full of confidence. The only thing that made Lian quite jealous was that the lord sent someone to send news halfway, saying that there was also an alien army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty going south.

It's just that Lian Po doesn't know anything about the number of this Inhuman troops, the composition of the troops, and the generals who lead the team. On the way south, the Qin army did not encounter any interception, which made Lian Po very puzzled.

"Even if you are fast, how much faster?" Lian Po muttered to himself.

If Lian Po knew that the 100,000 troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty camp going south this time were all cavalry troops, and they rushed to Jingzhou day and night under the leadership of Ma Chao, he would not be so confident.

In view of the "misdeeds" of Lian Po's army in Yuzhou, Ma Chao's troops had already arrived in Jingzhou six days in advance.

After the Huan Chong Department stationed in Jingzhou wiped out the 30,000 Qin troops, it did not stop, and immediately went north to join Ma Chao's department.

Four days earlier, the two armies had triumphantly met.

In such a crucial battle, four days is enough to change the course of a war. At the moment when Lian Po's army stepped on the land of Jingzhou, a large net had been quietly laid down, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Lian Po's mistake in Yuzhou changed the outcome of a war.

Originally, Ma Chao also followed the king's order to drag down Lian Po's army. Where did you think that Lian Po's army died by himself and did nothing wrong in Yuzhou, giving Ma Chao's army a chance.

After the meeting, Ma Chao and Huan Chong hit it off and prepared to give a big gift to Lian Po's army.

…………

On the twelfth day of the battle, Jingzhou, Jiangxia County, on the outskirts of Anlu City.

Jiangxia County is the only place to go south from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, and Anlu is the county of Jiangxia County. Further south of Jiangxia County is Nanping County, which is also the site of the famous Battle of Chibi.

Anlu City was built on the water and was a strategically important place.

Lian Po's army is going to enter the central part of Jingzhou, and Anlu is the place they must pass through.

Twenty miles away from the northern suburbs of Anlu City, there is a dense mountain forest, with hills on both sides, and only one avenue in the middle can be walked.

At about 11 o'clock in the morning, Lian Po's army walked on the mountain road, mighty and mighty, winding and circling along the mountain road, with no end in sight, and it was spectacular.

"General, the terrain here is narrow, and it is easiest to set up an ambush, will there be fraud?" The adjutant asked.

Although Lian Po is old, his body is still strong, riding on a tall horse, he has the demeanor of a veteran, listening to the deputy general ask, he stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "The enemy army is still hundreds of miles away, how can I ambush it?" ”

"It's the end of the day." The adjutant general said sneeringly.

That's when something happened.

But when I saw that thousands of flags were suddenly raised on the hills on both sides, rumors and shouts came one after another. As far as the eye can see, among the grass and woods, there are many shadows, and I don't know how many soldiers are hidden, which makes people change color.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Lian was shocked.

As soon as he spoke, he saw countless rain of arrows on the slopes of the mountains on both sides. The enemy army was condescending, and it was an ambush, which caught Lian Po's army off guard.

In an instant, Lian Po's army had suffered heavy casualties.

"Stand in place, the archers fight back!"

Lian Po is worthy of being a veteran, and he knows that this mountain road is long, and he can't break it off when he thinks about it. For today's plan, only by facing the enemy in battle can there be a glimmer of life.

The 150,000 Infantic army is quite calm, after all, they are all elite troops carefully selected by the territories. But the 100,000 Qin army was even worse, they were suddenly attacked, and they were immediately in chaos.

Although there is a liaison officer of the Inhuman, it is just not as close to collapse as it was in history. As for an immediate counterattack, that is not possible with categorical means.

If you don't hug your head, you have made great progress.

It's just that the counterattack of Lian Po's army is obviously a little weak, after all, one is in a high place and the other is in a low place, and there is naturally a huge gap, which cannot be made up.

Seeing this, Lian Po glanced at the hillsides on both sides, because it was too long to tell how many enemy troops were hiding in the grass.

Maybe there are only tens of thousands, maybe there are more than 100,000 people.

Lian Po speculated that this force was by no means the Huan Chong Division, they didn't have the guts, and the only possibility was that the main announcement was known to the Inhuman troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty camp going south.

"Anyway, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road."

Lian Po gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and ordered the troops to go up the mountain and launch a reverse charge. Nesting on the mountain road can only be beaten passively, and only by rushing to the top of the mountain can there be a chance to win.
