Chapter 335

Wuchang City, in the governor's house.

These days, Lu Xiangsheng also had trouble sleeping and eating, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.

"Supervisor, you can't wait any longer. If you don't take this opportunity to recover the three houses in Changsha and wait for Hua Junteng to come, I'm afraid you will be attacked again."

"Yes, I really can't wait any longer, but it's not crossing the river to recover the three houses in Changsha, but going north to recover Xiangyang."

Lu Xiangsheng put his back on his hands, looked at the map hanging on the wall and said slowly. Although his expression was very calm, his tone was very firm. Obviously, it was not a temporary intention, but a long time of deliberation.

Because he knew that only by recovering Xiangyang can he ensure that the Jianghan Plain is not lost, keep the Jianghan Plain, and keep half of the rivers and mountains in the south. The eight kings are only suffering from psoriasis.

"Recover... Recover Xiangyang?"

Xu Jiang Huadun, who was behind him, was shocked. He didn't expect that the supervisor didn't intend to take the opportunity to recover Changsha, but wanted to sneak into Xiangyang. He quickly advised: "supervisor, don't do it. Although the main force of the Chinese army is in runing mansion, there are still a large number of troops near Xiangyang. It's too risky."

"Jianghua, the Qin thieves are not normal this time. They gathered heavy troops to attack runing house. They just want to attract our governor to cross the south of the Yangtze River and can't rescue Suizhou in time.

If I really go south, I'm afraid Suizhou can't be saved even if I can recover the three houses in Changsha. Once Suizhou loses, Wuchang will be difficult to support. At that time, the north of the Yangtze River will fall into the hands of thieves! "

Lu Xiangsheng said helplessly.

Then his eyes burst out again. He pointed to the map and continued: "unexpectedly, the Qin thief wanted to attract me to cross the river south. The governor did the opposite. 30000 troops rushed to Suizhou to attract the thief army in Xiangyang to reinforce Suizhou. Then the governor personally led 20000 elite soldiers, disguised as merchant ships, and went up the Han River to raid Xiangyang. He will be able to catch the thief army unprepared."

"This... Supervisor, although this policy is feasible, it is still too risky after all. Please think twice!"

Xu Jianghua was also secretly frightened. He also understood that the supervisor probably had the idea of sneaking attack on Xiangyang by water. No wonder he would let a large number of merchant ships go to Xiangyang.

"This is a heaven given opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you can't stop the Qin thieves in the future. Therefore, even if it's dangerous, the governor should give it a go."

Lu Xiangsheng said with a solemn face.

Although he also knew that the two attacks between the Chuang Wang and the ox demon king would not be cheap, he would eventually involve some troops of the Chinese army.

In addition, he has to deal with Cao Cao. At most, he will dispatch two towns to the south to raid Suizhou. Suizhou has 30000 garrisons. If he sends 40000 troops to reinforce it, the Qin thieves will surely dispatch troops from Xiangyang if they want to capture Suizhou, resulting in the emptiness of Xiangyang City.

"Supervisor, the students have a saying that they don't know what to say, not what to say!" Seeing his resolute attitude, Xu Jianghua couldn't hold back after all.

"But it doesn't matter."

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand.

"Governor, looking at the whole world now, he still has 50000 strong troops in his hands, but it is these 50000 troops that can barely suppress the generals everywhere. Once there is an accident, the consequences are unimaginable!

In the view of students, it's better to give up Huguang temporarily and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. With the ability of supervising teachers, the natural danger of the Yangtze River and the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, we will be able to support the Ming Dynasty and reorganize rivers and mountains again in the future. "

Xu Jianghua didn't hesitate either. He gritted his teeth and said that in his opinion, the supervisor might as well retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to preserve his strength rather than stay in Wuchang and suffer from the enemy.

Because once the Qin army occupied Wuchang, it was bound to cross the river to attack the three houses in Changsha first, which gave the governor time to prepare his troops. At that time, even if the Qin army occupied the whole Huguang, the governor could compete with it by relying on several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Presumptuous, how dare you speak such treacherous words? Are you the Zuo Liangyu and others when you are the governor?"

Lu Xiangsheng blushed and burst into a drink.

"Why should the supervisor do it when he knows he can't do it?" Xu Jianghua also broke out and said bitterly.

With the current strength of the supervisor, it is extremely difficult to keep Wuchang, Suizhou and Jingzhou. If you want to forcibly lift troops north to recover Xiangyang, whether you divide troops to attack secretly or fight to the death, it is tantamount to hitting stones with eggs.

"Don't say any more. It's the so-called eating your salary and worrying about you. I've made up my mind. Even if I'm broken, I will never step back. I've been following me for many years. Just now, I don't hear those words. Go!" Lu Xiangsheng's face was blue and waved his hand.

"Hey!"

"Take care, supervisor!"

Xu Jianghua looked at his back and had to sigh helplessly. He bowed down and turned out of the study.

Lu Xiangsheng was alone in his room looking at the map and staring at the tattered Daming mountains.

Although he intended to move his Majesty's capital to Nanjing, he took a look at the imperial edict on the table and was filled with helplessness, which eventually turned into a sigh.

……

At the same time, the red warbler and his army have advanced near Ruyang city.

Shangcai and Suiping in the north of Ruyang have been broken.

At this moment, Luo Rucai and his old brothers looked at the army in the distance with a moving face.

Although they add up to 200000 people, only half of them are young and strong, and the others are old, weak, women and children. As for weapons and equipment, there is no comparison.

The 100000 troops of the red warbler are all dressed in uniform with a clear-cut flag. Officers, captains and veterans wear bright light armor, and the elite soldiers also wear cotton armor inlaid with goggles. Even half of the ordinary soldiers have cotton armor, all of them are very tall and energetic.

In contrast, the Wei army, ordinary soldiers all look yellow and skinny. More than half of them still hold bamboo guns, sticks, dung forks and hoes in their hands. Their clothes are even ragged and diverse, which is not much different from the original refugee army.

Naturally, it is impossible for more than 200000 people to live in the city. In addition to 100000 old, weak, women and children, there are only 20000 young people in the city. The other 80000 are stationed in the south, northwest and East. To the East is the Great Lake Park, so there is no need to defend.

For more than ten years, Luo Rucai defended the city for the first time. He said he was not nervous. It was absolutely false.

After all, once the other party besieges the city, if he doesn't hold it, he can't run away.

If he had not known that Niu Er had set out five days ago with 100000 troops, he really wanted to lose those money and food, beauty, and leave.

"Tell the brothers that as long as the Qin army is defeated, I will give them all the land of runing house, but if anyone doesn't give me desperately and dares to escape, their wives, children, old and young in the city will be killed without amnesty!"

At the moment of life and death, Luo Rucai, who has always been known as a good man in the rebel army, became ferocious on his face and ordered to one side's Pro guards.

Most of the 80000 young people outside the city were the people coerced from runing's house last year. Almost all their relatives were detained in the city. After Luo Rucai's order was conveyed, they had to cheer up and prepare to work hard.
