Chapter 294 Lu Su, Lu Zijing(2/2)
When the Jiujiang prefect was approaching Xiapi City, the scouts he sent to Xiapi City finally sent back important information.
"Chu Zimou actually used the teleportation array to mobilize troops... He was really willing to spend the money. But for him who owns five counties in Xuzhou and one county in Yanzhou, the cost of teleporting more than 10,000 soldiers is nothing."
The prefect of Jiujiang attacked Xiapi and found that Chu Tian was gathering troops in Xiapi. He began to hesitate whether to continue the attack on Xiapi. He asked Guo Jia: "To attack Xiapi now, should we go to Peiguo to join Yuan Shu?"
Guo Jia replied: "Soldiers need to be quick. Our army has been noticed by the enemy. Xuzhou Mu has made arrangements. It may be difficult to capture Xiapi. It is better to join Yuan Gongluo and wait for the opportunity to move to avoid the entire army being annihilated."
"That makes sense..."
The prefect of Jiujiang vaguely realized that Xiapi City was dangerous, very dangerous.
Whether it was the thousands of soldiers and horses heading south from Xia City, or the soldiers and horses using the teleportation array to reach Xiapi City, they all made the Jiujiang prefect feel deeply uneasy.
Guo Jia also had a similar premonition, so he dissuaded the Jiujiang prefect from marching to Xiapi City and instead headed north to join Yuan Shu.
"The whole army goes north!"
The governor of Jiujiang gave the order.
"Aren't you going to attack Xiapi? Why did you suddenly change your marching route?"
Hou Jing, the general of the universe in Nanliang, was dissatisfied with the turn of the army.
"Follow orders."
Chen Qingzhi asked Hou Jing to obey. Hou Jing was quite afraid of this person, so he did not refute, but just muttered a few words.
The general of the universe, Hou Jing, was defeated by Chen Qingzhi, so he had to be convinced by Chen Qingzhi.
Jiujiang County's 40,000 men suddenly changed direction, allowing Chu Tian, who was waiting in Xiapi, to pounce.
"Guo Jia, Chen Qingzhi's sense of smell is really keen. It seems that we can't wait and wait. Reorganize our troops and go to pursue them. If they join up with Yuan Shu, then he will also get rid of Yuan Shu."
Chu Tian heard that soldiers and horses from Jiujiang County were heading north, and he and Fang Xuanling judged their intentions.
The Jiujiang Prefect is nominally a subordinate of Yuan Shu. If his 40,000 men are combined with Yuan Shu's 140,000 men, there will be a total of 180,000 men. Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing will lead the cavalry, and Yuan Shu's generals will lead the infantry and archers.
The threat from Chutian is quite great.
Eighteen thousand elite soldiers left Xiapi City to pursue Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing's troops from Jiujiang County.
This is the first time Chu Tian takes Xia Liang to fight, in order to gain her army-wide halo effect.
"Lord, if you lose the battle, I will always follow you."
Xia Liang said to Chu Tian before setting off for the battle.
"Don't be clumsy. Not only do we want to win, but we also want to capture the white-robed military god Chen Qingzhi alive."
Chutian commanded the army to leave Xiapi City.
Lu Su was also fortunate enough to participate in this battle. He followed the great pirate Zheng Zhilong.
When he saw Chu Tian going on an expedition with a woman, he thought that Chu Tian was just a child, so he couldn't help but shake his head: "Master Xuzhou Mu is young and promising, but he shouldn't be obsessed with beauty..."
Zheng Zhilong said: "If you knew that she once defeated more than 100,000 enemy troops with 10,000 defenders, and turned the tide in the battle of Xuzhou, you would not say that."
"If this is really the case, then Zijing is using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman."
Lu Su couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"My Lord, there are no useless people under his command. We will still win this battle."
Although Zheng Zhilong only participated in the battle against Taishan County, he was aware of the deeds of his colleagues.
As long as anyone is useful, Chu Tian will take advantage of him. Therefore, even the women under Chu Tian's command can fight, and the Taishan bandits can also perform brilliantly.
There are no cowards under Xuzhou Mu.
"Yang Wudi is in Xiaopei, and he is too brave. We might as well go and take Pengcheng."
Yuan Shu heard that the governor of Jiujiang County was heading north, so he led his troops south, intending to meet up with the governor of Jiujiang in Pengcheng, between Xiaopei and Xiapi.
He was already afraid of Yang Wudi and did not dare to attack Xiaopei.
"Yuan Shu went south from Pei to Pengcheng?"
Yang Ye seemed to have his eye on Yuan Shu. He regarded capturing Yuan Shu alive as his goal, and immediately counted the cavalry and pursued Yuan Shu.
The battlefield originally scheduled for Xiapi City was changed. A total of four legions gathered around Pengcheng, the Chutian Legion, the Yang Ye Legion, the Yuan Shu Legion, and the Jiujiang Legion.
In Pengcheng State, there are also more than 20,000 people including Mi Fang, the unparalleled general of Xuzhou, and Yin Li, the bandit general of Mount Tai.
