"The Yuan Dynasty wants to fight a full-scale invasion, I don't know if it really wants to do this, or if it wants to force Xi Juan, but no matter what, the decisive battle is inevitable!" Zhang Yuan thought of the decisive battle, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, the decisive battle of the Yuan and Han dynasties was not a key step in his life.

"I've been waiting for too long, and it's finally here, so let's fight vigorously, fight to the death!"

Zhang Yuan thought of the upcoming decisive battle, his hands tightened, and he cheered himself up firmly, now everything is ready, what else does he have to worry about when the decisive battle comes, the founding of the country, what a desirable word, from ancient times to the present, there are many human beings, and how many people can ascend to the throne of heaven and earth?

Just as Zhang Yuan thought, the Yuan army really seemed to want to fight a full-scale invasion war.

When Qingzhou was in an emergency on the third day, Mengzhou also came with an urgent report, humility, Jiang Yan was in a hurry, the Yuan army invaded in large numbers, and there were spies in the city, and at the critical moment should be joined by the outside, although it has not been captured by the Yuan army in a short time, but everyone knows that it is only a matter of time.

Compared with Qingzhou, which is mountainous, the roads are rugged, and there are only a few major roads for passage, but at least you can send a team of slow soldiers to copy the small roads into the city, Mengzhou is different, Mengzhou is a new expanded state at the end of Qin, the woods are dense, poisonous insects and beasts are not to mention, there are more devouring swamps, the slow army is to want to flank the Yuan army, I am afraid that it is difficult, and the Yuan army came suddenly, Mengzhou City is not prepared at all, and you need to worry that the Yuan army will surround the point and slow down, and the slow army is not fast to save the speed there, and the total disadvantages add up, The fall of the two cities seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

"Hurry up your preparations, I can't do without this big battle!" When Zhang Yuan heard the news, he knew that the decisive battle was one step closer, or that it was close at hand.

It was impossible for Xi Juan to allow the Yuan Dynasty to expand the war to other border states. Although the Liliang of the Yuan army was dispersed in this way, the Han army as a defense did not necessarily have more troops than the Yuan army in this situation, and expanded to other border states, so the previous 20,000 elite sacrifices were likely to become useless, and the Yuan army obtained a large number of supplies from the captured cities, and the longer it dragged on, the more passive it became.

After another two days, Xihe City was already on alert, and the whole army was waiting.

The repeated battles have exhausted the army on the surface of Xihe City, and some reserves have been emptied, and Zuihou has undergone some reorganization and reorganization. In addition to the 1,000 foot soldiers and the 3,000 young men who were hastily recruited to stay in Xihe City, the only ones who took out their hands were the Death Reaper Heavy Foot Soldiers, Hu Chu's Heavy Foot Soldiers, Ruijin Banner, and Xiao Lu's more than 800 light cavalry. A total of more than 3,000 troops.

This is already all the troops that Xihe City knows can come up with.

"Mr. Wenhe, I will hand over the whole of Xihe City to you this time, and I will only take the commander of the legion Kong Qiuming with me this time. Hu Chu. Xiao Lu and the three of you, the other generals are all handed over to you, and everything in Xihe City is decided by you, Mr., as for Wen Tuo and Meng Cheng, I am not worried, but He Liuhun and Wei Jing are subordinates and their commanders. There are a lot of their former subordinates in Xihe City, if something happens to Mr. to deal with, they can cut it first and then play ......!! ”

If Zhang Yuan is the most worried about who is in Xihe City, then it should be Gao Huan. Gao Huan looks honest now, but after all, in history, he is in power and the opposition, and as the founder of the Northern Qi in the real sense, his ambitions can be imagined, even if Jia Xu has been beating and suppressing, but who knows if he will take risks in Zhang Yuan's absence.

Originally, Zhang Yuan wanted to take Gao Huan away, but Gao Huan was not good at commanding, but it was not something that ordinary people could compare, and it was always okay to take it with him to give advice.

However, there are not many places to use Gao Huan in this battle, and when the war breaks out at a critical moment, Xihe City will make some moves, and there will be more places to use people at that time. After thinking about it, Zhang Yuan still left Gao Huan to Jia Xu.

As for Jia Xu, Zhang Yuan is relieved, of course, Ma Yun and Chen Qing are also equal, but Ma Yun is young and still needs to be sharpened, at this critical moment, as Jia Xu's deputy, it is okay, and the first hand is still a little tender, Zhang Yuan is not distrustful, but it is impossible to let Jia Xu, an older and spicy poisoner, use Ma Yun.

In fact, in Zhang Yuan's heart, Chen Qing is the most suitable, she has a sense of the overall situation, she is also delicate, she is courageous, and she does not let her eyebrows, but Chen Qing is light-minded and has no motivation, if she just governs or gives advice, she will definitely not be worse than Jia Xu, but when it comes to pioneering heart, or desire and ambition, it is simply no comparison with Jia Xu, let alone a real careerist Gao Huan!

Jia Xu said: "The lord and rest assured, the minister is waiting for the lord to return victoriously in Xihe City......!" ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand jokingly and said, "Don't, if Wen He and you wait for me to return victoriously in Xihe City, then our calculations and efforts will be in vain, or I will wait for your good news on the battlefield!" ”

"Lord, when I went to the battlefield this time, I didn't worry about facing the Yuan army, but if the general behaved abnormally this time, please judge it!" Jia Xu still instructed him, and secretly said in his heart: "It can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a courtier, the lord is good at everything, but he is too affectionate, and the lord who is affectionate at other times is the best to serve, but I hope not to make a mistake at the critical moment!" ’

Zhang Yuan's face changed, he sighed, and said, "Wen He and rest assured, I know how to do it!" ”

Public and private, Zhang Yuan can't let go of both sides, but reality can't be perfect because he can't let go, everything can only be fought for, he is extremely resolute in his heart, men should be tough, this time Zhang Yuan made up his mind, even if he is strong, he will be strong Xi Juan, who dares to stop him when he sees it.

"Retire!" Jia Xu didn't bother Zhang Yuan, and left the office after saluting.

It was night, and the Han Dynasty area was boiling above the forum.

Xiang Yu once again showed his domineering spirit of the thousand-year-old crown, leading the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry of 3,000 converging to attack the Han Dynasty Licheng at night, defeating the elite of the 30,000 Han army border army, and then attacking ten cities in a row, and in one day, the ten cities fell, and Xiang Yu occupied most of Qinzhou in one fell swoop.

When they saw this news, Zhang Yuan and his friends were stunned, this feather wanted to go against the sky.

The Yuan Dynasty is good enough, right? Hundreds of thousands of troops moved together, but they only occupied the five cities in Qing and Mengzhou, and two of them did not fall, and they were all small cities. It is not comparable to the ancient city established in the Han Dynasty for hundreds or hundreds of years.

"How did he do it? This showdown has begun, right? Zhang Yuan's first thought was how Xiang Yu went against the sky, and he couldn't wait to go to the forum in person to see what was going on, but Zhang Yuan Zuihou still held back, even on the forum in a short period of time, there were different opinions, and it was not clear that it was better to put his heart on the Yuan and Han wars than to seek trouble.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan thought of this battle, the 30,000 elites of the Han army were defeated by Xiang Yu in one fell swoop, but it not only declared the strength of the overlord Xiang Yu, but also the return of the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry. It also indicates that Xi Juan can't wait, can't prepare, and a war is inevitable.

In Liu Bang's heart, the Yuan Dynasty was just a problem with ringworm, and Xiang Yu was a big problem. Therefore, Xi Juan must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, there really is no chance.

In the face of this news. Zhang Yuan really can't say whether it's good or bad, it stands to reason that it's haode, because the more powerful Xiang Yu is, the more difficult it will be for Liu Bang to sleep and eat, and when Zhang Yuan is army will rise, I am afraid that it will not be as good as Xiang Yu in Liu Bang's heart. Maybe in Liu Bang's opinion, as long as Xiang Yu is killed, it won't be easy to solve Zhang Yuan?

can be said to be bad, there are also disadvantages, Xi Juan was forced to fight a decisive battle without preparation. This is not what Zhang Yuan wants to see, he doesn't want Xi Juan to fail, or he doesn't want Xi Juan to be uncomfortable, and of course he doesn't want the Yuan army to have more troops and become a big stumbling block to the army when the time comes.

"Xiang Yu's idle chess is really more useful than imagined, in other words, Xiang Yu didn't seem to be so rebellious in his previous life, right?" Zhang Yuan was puzzled.

On the other hand, when Xi Juan heard the news from the stranger, she was also stunned for a long time, and then regained her calm, and continued to start the decisive battle in an orderly manner.

The full-scale invasion of the Yuan army did not stop because of the turn of the war, they did not seem to realize this, after occupying the three cities of Qingzhou, the Yuan army, which had rested for a few days, went out again, and the place it passed was a mess, not a single household of ten families survived, and there was no cooking smoke within a hundred miles.

The Yuan army seemed to have made up its mind to use the slaughter of the city to boost morale, which caused the people of Qingzhou to fall into a great panic.

On the other side, where Mengzhou is located, the Yuan army fell into a tug-of-war, in order not to appear in Qingzhou, the slow army everywhere rushed frantically, relying on the gallop to constantly resist the Yuan army, so that although the casualties were heavy, but the Yuan army did not please the good, the dense woods and the cavalry could not be deployed, and it fell into a stalemate for a while.

But as long as the high-level of the Han Dynasty knew that this was only temporary, and they should not have to worry about the shortage of troops in their local operations, but Xiang Yu was too fierce, even if the battle with the Yuan army was hot, the front-line troops were still constantly being transferred back to calm the trouble, which made the bleeding border army more lacking than the Yuan army.

"General Zhenyuan has an order, and Zhang Yuan, the general of Weixi in Xihe City, led the troops three nights later with General Xiaoyong, and General Yingwu wiped out the 10,000 yuan army in Xihe City in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this news, Zhang Yuan immediately realized that the Great War had begun, and this great war between the Yuan and Han Dynasty would be opened under Xihe City and started by Zhang Yuan.

'Xi Juan, you really look up to me! ’

I thought that I was playing tricks again this time, but I didn't expect Xi Juan to look up to himself so much, Zhang Yuan had a feeling of mixed feelings, thinking of the near future, and feeling a kind of guilt in his heart for no reason.

Immediately, Zhang Yuan shook off those gloomy intentions, if the Han Dynasty was led by Xi Juan, Zhang Yuan would never mind being a courtier and expanding his territory for Xi Juan, but Xi Juan was only a general, and the Han Dynasty really decided the life and death of everyone, but the fate was Liu Bang, the 'cunning rabbit died, and the lackey cooked' Liu Bang.

Zhang Yuan said conclusively: "Go back and tell the general that Zhang Yuan will do his best to complete the task!" ”

After that, Zhang Yuan arranged for someone to send a messenger away, and called his generals and strategists, even Qian Tian and others, who were busy in reality, also called up.

When they heard the news of the start of the war, everyone couldn't help but show their excitement, they had waited too long, and the lurking made people feel a little disheartened, everything finally began, and they didn't have to endure the torment, they could have a good time.

"Lord, I don't know what Lu Su should do? Did you kill the sacrificial flag? Gao Huan stood up and said something almost rebellious in front of everyone without care.

The scene calmed down all of a sudden, and everyone looked at Gao Huan in unison, Gao Huan raised his head indifferently, as if he still had a trace of self-satisfaction......

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over those military generals from the Han Dynasty, and he muttered for a while: "Wu Jincao, is there anything unusual about Lu Su coming in?" ”

"No, it's closed all day!" Wu Jincao, who had completely taken over the military intelligence department of Xihe City, stood up and said.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "It's not the time to turn your face yet, continue to monitor!" ”

Zhang Yuan didn't care about Lu Su's life and death, but he didn't want Xi Juan to doubt him at this time, even if Xi Juan already knew that he would not sit still, but he didn't know that he would raise troops? (To be continued......)
