In the twilight of autumn wind, the fallen geese in Jiangxia City remained silent for a long time, and waved their hands without saying a word to repel the messenger who came to report. The face was gloomy and there was no sign of joy or anger. In the temporary regent's hall, all the generals were so arrogant that they dared not speak.

"Your Highness, please immediately order the general Jiang Yanchao of Yuzhang to behead the defeated general Chen Dang on the spot! His Highness gave him such a heavy place in Jiujiang, and he was captured by Hu Hai in just one round. He was deeply re-ordered and dared not fight to the death, but fled to Yuzhang and was in danger of Jiangdong today!" Some generals took advantage of the situation and directly wanted to abandon Chen Dang, the princess' direct lineage...

Dou Hongxian, who was sitting on the other side, also frowned. He finally had a close conversation with Chen Luoyan, but unexpectedly something happened again on the way. Could it be that God is so willing that she could not do the planning?

"Is the situation in Jiangdong true? Can it be checked?" Although the Shen Luoyan's face was as deep as water, she was not panicked in her eyes.

A general stepped forward and nodded, "It has been three days since Jiujiang fell. Although our army had recaptured Jiujiang that night, the Chen army led by Hu Hai had already fled into Jiangdong, and the Feng Xian tribes of Lingnan also led the local troops to advance eastward. The latest information is that Hu Hai and Feng Huan have captured dozens of cities in Yuhang, Wu County and Kuaiji County. There is also the latest news that Chen Luoyan annihilated the 40,000 troops led by General Chen Zhong, Yongjia Hou in Zhejiang yesterday evening. There is also a saying that Hu Hai had sneaked into Xuancheng County three days ago and had already captured Caishi City two days ago. There are rumors that Chen Shan, the general of Northern Chen in Jiangbei, sent 30,000 troops across the river. At present, the three troops of Hu Hai, Feng Huan and Chen Shan have surrounded the capital of Jiankang!"

"Is there any news about the Prince of Jian'an?"

"There has been no news in Caishi City for three days, and the last report from Prince Jian'an was four days ago!"

The generals in the hall were all gasping for a while. The Regent led the army to leave Jiankang, leaving Shen's old general Shen Fasheng as the left-behind general. He also agreed to report each morning and evening to communicate whether there was any information. Now it was broken for four days and there was no news. At first, everyone thought it was because Jiujiang was occupied by Hu Hai. After Jiujiang was blocked, it was blocked from Jiangdong's messenger. But now it was the fourth day, and countless real and false information were reported from all over Jiangdong. Everyone was at this time and believed in the crisis in Jiangdong.

Although everyone still didn't understand why Jiangdong suddenly became a situation. Didn't Hu Hai have only 3,000 people? How did he capture Yuhang, Wujun, and even more so how did he capture the important quarry town? No one knew, but everyone knew that they were now facing a dilemma.

He mobilized 350,000 troops and 500,000 civilians. After a few days of arriving in Jiangxia, such a big thing happened in the lair behind him. At this time, whether it was advancing or retreating, staying or leaving, the Wu army was defeated this time.

"Where are the three armies now?" Chen Luoyan said in a deep voice.

"Marson Du Fuwei's central route, Huainan army is in Mianyang beside the Han River, and Marshal Shan Xiongxin's left-side Zhennan army is in Baling beside the Yangtze River. Marshal Li Zitong's right-side Nanyue army has arrived at Yingyang beside the Zhang River. Three large armies attack Jiangling, Jingling, and Chongling beside the Han River. In another two days of march, you can reach the preset battlefield." The staff officer of Youzanhua immediately stepped forward.

"Immediately pass my regent order. Let the three marshals lead the troops back immediately. After receiving the order, they will be rushed back to Jiangxia within one day. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

"Your Highness, our army has come thousands of miles away and has not fought a battle. I am afraid it is not appropriate to withdraw troops suddenly. Although Jiangdong has a letter of request for help, the specific situation is not clear. Jiangdong has 100,000 left-behind troops, and Jiankang City has three walls. Even if it is not against Chen's army, it is okay to hold on for a while. I think it is enough to pick a general and lead a group of elite troops back to Jiangdong. The other army should take advantage of this army to attack Lu Shishen. Even if we can't take Xiangyang, at least we have to recapture the four counties of Jingling, Yiling, Nanjun and Xiyang. Otherwise, we will withdraw our troops and not only waste the huge mobilization before, but even the other counties in Jianghan will be unable to protect."

Chen Luoyan ignored the general who was admonishing him, but said directly: "It will take at least one day to wait until the three armies come back. Jiankang is in critical condition and cannot wait for a day. Who is willing to be the pioneer and return to Jiankang immediately?"

"The last general is willing to lead the troops of our troops and return to Jiankang immediately and swear to kill Hu Hai, Feng Hua and his son!" Chen Guoren and Sun Shihan, the two generals of the Shen family who had followed the old fifth Chen Yi to attack Jiangling, but were defeated by Lu Shishen, fled south. Finally, Chen Luoyan was pardoned and pardoned, immediately jumped out and competed for the first performance.

Although Chen Luoyan was not satisfied with the character of these two people, there were not many people around him at this time. Most of the remaining soldiers of Jianghan were now subordinate to these two men, so they could not worry about so many at this time. Now, looking around the generals in the hall, he shouted: "Tell me the order that Chen Dang of Jiujiang, Jiang Yan and the five generals including Jiujiang went south to recover Jian'an County, cut off the retreat of Feng Hua's father and daughter, and sweep eastward. In addition, the two generals Sun Shihan and Chen Guoren immediately led 5,000 light cavalry in their headquarters and 30,000 infantrymen back to Jiangdong along the Yangtze River. Before our army returns to the aid, we must regain Caishi! I am waiting for the three marshals Du Fuwei to return to the army and return to the rescue together!"

"The last general will receive the order!" The generals responded to the order and stepped out of the mansion. The Jiangxia City instantly began to be busy. Dozens of cavalry commanders rushed out of the city.

The dark clouds were filled with the moon. That night, Shan Xiongxin from Baling City, Du Fuwei from Mianyang City, and Li Zitong from Yingyang City, all received the order to withdraw the troops immediately. This time, Du Fuwei and the other two were ready to compete for the troops. However, they were about to start fighting, but suddenly received the order to withdraw troops at this time. Although the three of them were full of unwillingness, they could do nothing.

At that moment, the three armies each left a group of men and horses to stay in the city, and the rest immediately withdrew from the city quietly and retreated all the way eastward.

The sudden withdrawal of the Wu army was immediately sent back to Jiangling City by various explorers. When Lu Shishen saw the news, he laughed a few times, and his eyes were filled with excitement. Yesterday, he had received a letter from Hu Hai for help, saying that he had captured Caishi and was preparing to attack Jiankang, so that he must hold Jiang Han's sinking geese for three or five days at the critical moment. Originally, Lu Shishen was a little unbelievable, but now he saw Wu army's actions, he had already believed it.

Although he was a little unhappy by Hu Hai, a guy who was lower than his official position, Lu Shishen was also a fierce general on the battlefield. Even though he was unhappy, he had just turned his mind and understood the importance of this battle. Of course, it was impossible to retreat. What's more, he had just made a great contribution, and he won five counties in a row and won an important town like Jiangling. It was naturally impossible to compete with Hu Hai at this time.

And if Hu Hai hadn't been making trouble, he would have felt a lot of pressure in his heart when facing more than 300,000 troops from Shen Luoyan. Now that Shen Luoyan has withdrew his troops and he has all the pressure, he naturally cannot let the Wu army retreat easily.

Lu Shishen immediately sent someone to contact Zhang Zhongjian's naval squadron and asked him to send troops to hold the Wu army together.

The Wu army retreated at night. As soon as the retreat was not far away, the Chen army had already pursued along the Yangtze River, Han River and Zhang River. The Chen army had few troops, and each of the three pursuers had only 5,000 cavalry. In addition, a squadron of the Navy was a 5,000 naval division, with a total of only 20,000 troops.

However, these three Chen troops were led by Lu Shishen, Zhang Zhongjian and Zhang He, and followed the Wu army like three evil wolves. When they were not careful, they rushed up and bite them. When the Wu army turned back and fought, they immediately retreated. As soon as the Wu army retreated, they pursued them again.

The enemy retreats and we chase them, and the enemy advances and we retreat.

The Chen army pursued elite soldiers and cavalry, and had sufficient opportunities and advantages. Whenever the Wu army was tired and even cooked, they suddenly came out and stabbed the gun with a knife, and then immediately ran away like a gust of wind before the Wu army turned around.

After fighting and walking, the Chen army, who had 20,000 pursued the three Wu troops, could not withdraw quickly. Not only did the marching speed greatly reduced, but the troops were also lost from time to time. Originally, the journey of marching for one day, the three large army walked for a full day and a half before they arrived in Jiangxia, and almost thousands of soldiers were lost.

Under Jiangxia City, 20,000 Chen troops bypassed several important towns in Baling, Mianyang and Anlu, as if they were entering a no-man's land, and appeared openly near Jiangxia through dozens of miles, full of provocation.

The Shen Luoyan was worried. Half a day ago, the three troops returned to Jiangdong with their troops. Du Fuwei, Shan Xiongxin, and Li Zitong, who arrived in Jiangxia City, did not dare to be careless. He immediately decided that the two generals of Du Fuwei, Wang Xiongdan and Kan Ling would lead 30,000 Huainan Army and 50,000 newly incorporated Jianghan miscellaneous troops to stay in Jiangxia to block the pursuit of Chen's army. Du Fuwei and the other two led their troops to leave their supplies, food and grass, and left the old and weak, and led elite troops to advance lightly and return to Jiangdong.

Looking at the Wu army's troops rolling out of the city and heading eastward, Lu Shishen and Zhang Zhongjian stood on the hillside with a pity. The sudden withdrawal of the Wu army was originally an excellent opportunity to counterattack for the Chen army, but it was a pity that the main forces of the Chen army were all in the north at this time. Although Lu Shishen and Zhang Zhongjian boldly pursued, there were too few soldiers and horses after all.

"Oh, if I had 100,000 troops in my hands, I would have been sure to destroy Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shan Xiongxin, and annihilate the three Wu troops in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, if I had 50,000 troops in my hands, the Wu army was retreating now, and I could take the opportunity to capture Baling, Mianyang, and Anlu counties in one fell swoop. It would be really annoying to see but not eat it." Lu Shishen patted his head and looked heartbroken.

"Come on, if that guy Hu Hai hadn't been tormenting, we might have been surrounded in Jiangling City now, and the four counties that had just been seized might have been taken back. Now that you have such a big advantage, why are you doing good deeds?" Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile.

Lu Shishen pulled his beard and said with a thrust: "Hu Hai is really brave enough. A Jiangxi governor has mobilized us all. Those who don't know think he is the commander of the military commander of the southeast and southwest provinces. Do you think this kid can take Jiankang?"

Zhang Zhongjian was also a little surprised by Hu Hai's actions and sighed, "I hope he can take it. If he can't take Jiankang, he will be very guilty of being a good man. If he takes Jiankang, his merits and demerits will be worth it, and there will be some remaining. I hope!"

When the two of them said this, they were also a little worried in their eyes. The northern army gathered and the war of destruction was underway. No one knew what the result would be like if such a sudden change occurred in the south.
