Between Yingshang City at the southern end of Henan Province and Shouchun City in Anhui Province, separated by the Huai River, on the winding road, an army that could not see the end was moving south at a rapid speed. Within the eyes, a banner was flying like the sea, the sword light was like snow, and the spear was like clouds. This rapid army of the front army was as powerful as the rainbow and its military appearance was in full swing.

The leading guide in the front line is a black flying eagle battle flag fluttering in the wind. On the side of the battle flag, a battle flag embroidered with a winged sky wolf fluttering on the side. Under this battle flag, the horse galloping south was one of the most elite soldiers in Dachen, one of the eight guards of Dachen, the Jinwu Guards Tianlang Light Cavalry Battalion. A battalion with the lowest rank of the entire battalion is also a division of battles with a single combat unit, and a huge cavalry battalion with a scale of 5,000 people.

The Five Thousand Flying Wolf Light Cavalry Battalion rolled forward, and followed closely behind them were three armies with the Phoenix Battle Flag, the Xuanniao Battle Flag, and the Golden Plug Battle Flag. These three armies with the Divine Birds were very extraordinary, because these three light infantry battalions with a population of up to 15,000 were all wearing armors that looked different from the other Dachen Army’s black armor. As the battle flag fluttered, the soldiers of the three armies were all wearing fiery red armor, just like a huge sunset moving rapidly.

After four rare troops, Tianlang Camp, Phoenix Camp, Xuanniao Camp, and Jinpeng Camp, rushed over quickly. Several troops arrived immediately afterwards. These troops were basically the same as the four armies in the front, all of which were large-scale 5,000-man troops, Qinglong Camp, Kuanglong Camp, Feilong Camp, Huanglong Camp, Bailong Camp, Heilong Camp, Jiutou Bird Camp, Immortal Bird Camp, Bifang Camp, Sanzu Bird Camp, Baihu Camp, Xuanwu Camp, Zhuque Camp, and Black Iron Imperial Guard Camp.

The 18 large battalions of 5,000 people rolled south and rushed to the Huaishui River soon.

At this time, the originally wide Huainan had already become a road. Above the blue waves, a series of seven huge floating bridges had already connected the two sides. The soldiers of the Feilang Light Cavalry Battalion, who had arrived first, had already crossed the Huai River along the seven floating bridges.

Standing on the high slope on the north bank of Huainan, Emperor Chen Kefu, dressed in military uniform, looked at his army quickly moving south in a complicated mood. Looking at the wavy Huai River and the neat army, his heart was extremely complicated at this moment.

Eighteen battalions of 90,000 troops were already the last main force in Chen Kefu's hands. In order to gather this team, Chen Kefu not only mobilized the 10,000 imperial guards from Taiyuan, but also basically took the time to defend the capital Luoyang this time. Even the two provinces of Henan and Shandong, 90% of all the troops had been transferred here.

Henan and Shandong provinces are completely empty. There are only 10,000 elite troops left in the Kyoto Luoyang, 10,000 village soldiers, and 30,000 militias under Mao Yi's leadership. Huaibei and Huainan were already extremely empty. This time, the dispatch of troops directly led to the vast territory north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River. In order to gather enough troops, he even dispatched all three women, Zhai Jiaojiao, Li Xiuning and Zhang Chuchen, in recent years.

He had already brought the last useful army of Da Chen. With this pieced together army, he had only one road left in front of him. Either capture Jiankang, capture Jiangdong, and then push the defense line to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Or they might be defeated and returned to Jiangbei, and even the territory south of the Huai River might be lost. Even Shandong might be in danger.

All of the things can only be blamed on Hu Hai, because he broke all of Da Chen’s previous strategic plans.

Hu Hai was just a governor of Jiangxi. He only held tens of thousands of village militias in his hand. Chen Kefu asked him to give up Jiangxi according to the strategic layout and retreated to Hefei to strengthen the defense of Huainan. In order to avoid the Southern Chen army suddenly attacking the Yangtze River at this time, everything was planned. First, north and then south, first decide the victory and defeat with the Turks, solve their worries, then sweep the south and unify the Central Plains.

But no one would have thought that Hu Hai would use such a random move at this time. What Chen Kefu could not have imagined was that everyone seemed to be involved in it all at once. Previously, Lu Shishen's attack on Jiangling was already an act of unstoppable troops and acted privately. Although he took Jiangling and defeated Dong Chun and occupied five counties, it was equivalent to taking a big risk with the defense line of Dachen's southwest.

In the end, Lu Shishen succeeded, and the Shen family was in a civil turmoil and could not counterattack. Dong Chun was originally here to attack, and their real target was Shuzhong, so he suffered a loss for a while. But he didn't have time to immediately take revenge on Chen Jun.

When Chen Kefu received information from Lu Shishen and others in Taiyuan, he was already in a cold sweat. When the Great Chen and the Turks had already taken out all their strength and threw all their belongings on the blocking table, Lu Shishen actually dared to take the initiative to use troops in the southwest, and he suddenly faced the two families. No one knew better than Chen Kefu what serious consequences would be if Lu Shishen was defeated.

There are only 30,000 troops left in the entire southwest defense line of Dachen. If this troops are destroyed, the entire southwest direction of Dachen will be completely torn away. If an enemy army breaks in at this time, it can easily reach the city of Luoyang. Even if Luoyang is not attacked, Henan, Shandong, Huainan and other places will basically be unprepared. If the enemy really goes deeper, the losses and vibrations will shock everyone.

Chen Kefu finally waited for the information to resolve the dangerous situation in Xiangyang, and immediately came here again. Hu Hai suddenly came and dispatched troops without authorization. As the information continued to be delivered, something that made Chen Kefu frightened. Hu Hai not only played with his heartbeat, but also Feng Huai and his daughter from Lingnan, Chen Shan, Chen Feng from Huainan, Hu Hai from Jingxiang, and Lu Shishen were all involved.

Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Vietnam, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu. All of a sudden, all the nine southern provinces were involved, and this information made Chen Kefu feel like he was murdering.

The last time Hu Hai took a risk in Xiangyang, he almost lost the gate to the southwest of Luoyang.

But this time it was even more serious. The entire nine provinces in the south were directly involved. And when the court put all its energy and strength to the critical point of the north, they actually wanted to recover Jiangdong and capture Jiankang. The troops directly attacked Jiangdong had exceeded 50,000, and the Xiangyang defenders and Jiangdu defenders who were indirectly involved had exceeded 50,000 troops. One after another, 100,000 troops were involved, and almost the entire military strength of the Dachen South was involved.

Like a terrible storm, Hu Hai flapped his wings in Jiujiang, and in a blink of an eye, a huge hurricane blew up in Jiangnan.

Facing the Wu army, who had just suffered a great defeat, civil strife, and had a new master, Hu Hai and others felt that they had great confidence. But Chen Kefu was completely shocked and turned a blind eye. Fighting on multiple lines is a taboo in ancient military strategists. What's more, they were facing super strong men who unified the entire northern and Western grasslands. At this time, it would be a breach of the Wu Kingdom.

Hu Hai and the others were betting, and they thought they could bet and dared to bet.

But Chen Kefu did not dare to bet. At this point, he had half of the Central Plains. Only he knew the hardships. If he did it again, he didn't know if he could have such an opportunity. But now, a shocking gamble has been made, and others are betting on his country.

How could Chen Kefu not be surprised or anxious? Jiangnan was originally the territory of the Wu army, not to mention that Jiangdong was the hometown of the Wu army. Fighting in Jiangdong was a away game. What's more, the Chen army in Jiangdong only had 50,000, and these 50,000 were not elites, but a temporary army pieced together by the Huainan Township Military Regiment and the local soldiers of Baiyue, Lingnan.

Although no one would believe the 500,000 army that Chen Luoyan had previously claimed to be, it was true that he had 350,000 troops. Although at least half of them were in water, at least there were more than 100,000 elite troops. Across the Yangtze River, he had to fight Jiangdong with more than 100,000 elite brands with 50,000 pieces. In Chen Kefu's view, this courage was commendable, but it obviously lacked some IQ.

At this time, if you win this battle for a while, you won't see much effect. Instead, it may arouse the alert and counterattack of other forces. Before the Turks are resolved, any act of provoking other Central Plains forces is stupid.

If this battle is defeated, the nine southern provinces will basically be over, and even Henan and Shandong on the south bank of the Yellow River will be difficult to protect. It is possible that even Luoyang, the Kyoto, may not be able to defend. If such a situation really happens, how can the court fight the battle in the north with all its might?

After shattering several cases with anger, Chen Kefu cursed Hu Hai and the others' lawlessness, but he could only quickly mobilize more than 90% of the troops from Taiyuan, Luoyang, Henan and Shandong, and quickly formed a powerful army of 90,000 people, and quickly headed south to Jiangdong for reinforcements.

At this time, Jiangdong was like a chicken rib, and it was a pity to eat it. But Chen Kefu had to make the worst plan. It was useless to capture Jiangdong and could not change the current situation for a while. But if he sat and watched Hu Hai lose the battle, the final result would be completely disastrous.

This time, he could only defeat Chen Luoyan and severely damage her Wu army, so that she could no longer continue to threaten Da Chen's southern territory. Da Chen could completely let go of his hands and work hard in the upcoming Turkic War.

As if seeing Chen Kefu's concern, Li Xiuning, who was wearing red military uniform, rode on the war horse and said with a smile: "What a mighty army, but my Xuanniao Camp was completely trained according to the methods of Shimin and their Xuanjia Army. After three years of training, this time it is indeed no worse than the Imperial Guard. With such a powerful army and His Majesty himself commanded it, this time, we will definitely be able to flatten Jiangdong at one time!"
