The main city of Nanyang.

Li Wuchang, Nie Jin, Cang Shopkeeper and others stood on top of a high-rise building in the center, looking in all directions.

There were almost no people on the streets, and there were occasional men walking in "leisurely" steps, going in and out of the east and west, trying to find some food or belongings in the already vacant houses, most of them empty-handed.

The weather is still cold, and some people casually drag a few benches or wooden doors and light a fire directly on the street to keep warm, chattering and discussing where to beg for a living.

It's almost an empty city!

Last winter, the red dragon was forced by the army of the commander of the law so badly that when he ran away, he not only took his belongings with him, but also looted a lot of money in the city, causing rivers of blood, and now there are still blackened blood stains.

After the Red Dragon Society left, all kinds of small bandits took the opportunity to enter the city, stirring up the already chaotic city even worse, so that it became the ghost appearance of a desolation everywhere like this.

Not only the main city is desolate, but also the surrounding towns.

Most of the people fled.

The north did not dare to go, because the Khitans slowly spread out in Yuzhou. Xiyang in the west is not very good, too guarded to run away, bandits are up again, and more importantly, the French marshal army may be overwhelmed by a large army, and there will definitely be a battle at that time, and I don't know where to drill when I fight.

Only Chungling in the east and Xiangyang in the south are better, and they may be able to hide.

The marshal army has just issued a statement of asylum, which has reached the ears of many civilians, who do not know whether it is reliable or not, and most of the dead horses are regarded as live horse doctors, carrying bags and gritting their teeth to drill into Xiangyang.

A small number of people think that the reason why Nanyang has become like this is entirely because of the Red Dragon Society and the Fa Shuai Army, which shows that the Fa Shuai Army is brutal, so after thinking about it like this, they went to Chungling.

In any case, Nanyang is crippled, even worse than Yiling a long time ago.

"There is nothing to occupy in the main city for the time being, and it should be a long time before we want to restore and develop, we can now directly garrison Xinye and encapsulate the tomb with Xiangyang!" Nie Jin gave a brief suggestion.

"Brother Nie is right!"

The shopkeeper echoed and added: "When you take Chungling, you will use Nanyang as a springboard to advance into Yuzhou, or a place to gather troops in front, maybe the battle with the Khitans will start in Nanyang, and at the current speed of the Khitans, they will inevitably meet this year, either Nanyang or Huai'an." Before the collapse of the imperial court, if Tang Feihu couldn't defeat Chungling, then the Khitans should take over with our French commander......"

Nanyang and Huai'an are a line, the north is Yang, and then the north is a line of Xiangcheng and Yingchuan, and then the north is Luoyang and Xingyang.

"Alas, I don't know how long the imperial court can last, contradictory!" Li Wuchang smiled bitterly.

Shopkeeper Cang and Nie Jin naturally knew what this "contradiction" meant, and immediately mentioned: "The imperial court must be overturned, the Khitans must also take it, and Tang Feihu must also go down." Don't think so much, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if they don't come, we will take the initiative to sweep!"

Li Wuchang took a deep breath, "Also, sweep out a Lang Lang Qiankun!"

Having already seen the main city of Nanyang, they no longer stayed, Li Wuchang and the others went directly to Xinye in the southeast.

At the same time, an order was issued to let the Qingping Army send three divisions of troops to Xinye as soon as possible, and on the Xiangyang side, the Qinghuo Army and the Xicheng Army each sent three divisions of troops to the small city of Caiyang directly west of Chungling.

Always ready to fight.

The Dongjiang faction knew that there would be big moves in the French Shuai Army after the beginning of spring, and Xiang Kui had made all kinds of countermeasures in the winter of last year, and he also had a certain psychological preparation, but when the French Shuai Army really moved, Xiang Kui still felt very stressed.

In addition to the French commander's army, the east is also facing heavy pressure from Tang Feihu. Also, Xiang Kui spent so much effort in Handong, but he still didn't get the Red Dragon Society.

If the three enemies choose to carry it hard, no matter how thick the Dongjiang faction's background is, how much inventory there is in Jingling, and how extensive the troops are, it will not be long before they will be crushed into slag, and there will be no trace left, which will ruin the Xiang family's years of hard work.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Xiang Kui, as the leader, naturally couldn't show his inner anxiety, and he still looked very calm. It cannot affect the leading generals below.

The generals on the stage all gathered in Jingling to discuss things, but Xiang Tai did not come over, and still stayed in the main city of Nanjun.

Facts have shown that Nanan County not only did not bring great benefits to the Dongjiang faction, but instead became a piece of fat that could not be guarded.

The strategist carefully analyzed the current situation: "The biggest threat is of course Tang Feihu, Xiao Zhixing under his command has led 50,000 troops, all of which have been driven to Yiyang, and will soon attack Anlu." And the Tang family's descendants personally led the elite 60,000, and they have already entered Anlu, and they will soon attack in a big way.

Secondly, it was naturally the turn of the French Shuai Army, the heavy troops gathered in Xinye and Cai Yang, Li Wuchang, Nie Jin, and Wei Xin went to Xinye to supervise the army in person, and the ending of Chungling County could almost be seen. In addition, it is Yiling's reckless army that has not been reduced, and it will press into Nanjun at any time.

In addition to the reckless army in Nanjun, there is also the Baling army in the southeast, which is a little less threatening, after all, the main opponent of the Baling army is Remnant Cloud Gate, and the big battlefield is in Chuyang and Jiangxia.

This is the general situation, it is very serious, we have to give up some territory, otherwise it will be difficult to survive. If you keep all of them, in less than half a year, I'm afraid there will only be one tomb left......"

It's very pessimistic, but it's also a guest fact.

Someone immediately chimed in: "You have to give up a lot of territory." ”

After finishing speaking, he cautiously glanced at Xiang Kui and all the elders of the Xiang family.

Xiang Kui's voice did not fluctuate, and he looked at his clan uncle Xiang Zhengling.

Xiang Zhengling looked around and said lightly: "It's better to break a few fingers than to hurt ten fingers, and you have to give up if you should give up." Go on!"

The situation is very clear there, and it will be understood after a little clarification, and the people below are afraid that if Xiang Kui is not decisive, then the matter will be big. Now Xiang Zhengling's decisive decision is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for everyone.

The strategist coughed lightly and continued: "According to the will of his subordinates, Handong can abandon it first, withdraw the troops cleanly, and leave all the foundation to the Red Dragon Society." Xiao Zhixing's house gave Lu Shilong and Lu Shikai brothers a headache.

The main city of Nanjun is strong, and it took a lot of effort to consolidate it last winter, and in addition, it is also fast to support the Jingling Tomb, and there is no major worry for the time being, so it can continue to be consolidated by Elder Tai.

The pressure on Chung Ling and An Lu seems to be about the same at present, so choose a county and abandon it. Tang Feihu's side is decided, and Anlu must fight. On the side of the French Shuaijun, it has been rumored recently that Li Wuchang is going north to Xiyang and Shangluo, if it is true, then Chungling can still be defended. ......”

It's very clear.

Handong will be abandoned, Chungling and Anlu will be discarded, and Nanjun will continue to defend, focusing on the main city.

Xiang Zhengling said in a deep voice: "Chungling has made a lot of trouble several times, and there is nothing left, so just throw it away." And An Lu spent too much thought, and if he lost it so easily, it would be too big a blow to our Dongjiang faction. ”
