Above the head of Caishi City, the Wu State's Sanqiu General, special advancing, Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, Guardian General, and Jian'an Hou Chen Fasheng stood on the city with a worried look on his face, looking at the river in the night.

Chen Fasheng's father was a general who followed Chen Baxian to establish Nanchen. After several dynasties in Southern Chen, he was appointed as the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, governor Guang, Heng, Dongheng, Jiao, Cheng, Ding, Xin, He, Luo, Ai, De, Yi, Huang, Li, An, Shi, Shuang and other military affairs, General Zhennan, General Pingyue General, and Governor Guangzhou. Later, he was a special master, Jinzi Guanglu Dafu. He and Chen Faxing were brothers. In his early years, they followed their father and brother to lead various branches of the Shen clan to follow Chen Baxian to conquer the world.

Many years passed in the blink of an eye. When he stepped onto the battlefield, he was only a young man and had not yet won the championship. In a blink of an eye, the Shen family had been going through decades of Southern Chen and several generations of emperors, and after decades, they witnessed the restoration of Southern Chen again. They also watched their brothers run the Shen family into the first tribe in Jiangdong, and now they have publicly replaced the Chen family.

Now Nanchen has been changed to Wu State, and he has just been appointed as the Prince of Jian'an by the Regent Prince. This time he was even entrusted with the important task of staying behind, but standing here, the old man who had been white in his hair and had experienced storms and faced with worry. The death of his brother Chen Faxing, a brother from the Shen family fought and died, and was captured. Even Nanchen became Wu State, and the Shen family replaced the Chen family and became the royal family, and everything was rotating like a lantern.

But the old man was not at all happy, but instead felt a deep worry in his heart. There was no one in the Shen family's direct line, and the family court fell into the hands of the niece Chen Luoyan. On the outside, Jiangdong and the Shen family were still calm, but the old man had already smelled a smell of the building falling.

Half a month ago, the head of the family Chen Faxing and half of the imperial court were defeated in Sanba, and was counterattacked by Dong Chun, and finally died and was defeated. The elite troops who were defeated in the court were destroyed. Then the head of the family died. Jiang Ling, the important town, was lost, and the brothers seized the throne and fought, and then the four counties of Jianghan were lost.

The niece, who has always been unseen, took action when she was at a critical moment. She actually took over the power of the family and the court. Although Chen Fasheng did not support it in his heart, he knew it could not be changed. In this turbulent and chaotic world, he thought that as long as he could protect the Shen family, even a woman in charge of the government could barely accept it.

Three days ago, he had already received information from Jiangxia City. Luo Yan had already captured Jiangxia, and the last heir of the Shen family's legitimate name was also imprisoned by her.

Although he didn't want to see such a fight between brothers and brothers, he could only accept the matter at this point. Originally, the Shen family could finally end this unbearable civil strife this time, and the Shen family could still hold on.

But yesterday, he received an urgent report. Jiujiang County, which had just been recovered, was lost again.

Yesterday evening, I received an urgent report again and Yu Zhang was also lost.

Then there was a report of the horse exploration. Linchuan was lost, Luling was lost, and Jiankang was lost.

In the second half of the night, some people even reported that Panyang County was lost and Xin'an County City was lost.

Countless secret reports were spread to Jiankang, which made the old general who presided over the responsibility of Jiankang's staying behind and was in a panic and confused.

In just one day, even if Chen's army really attacked, it would not be possible to capture so many cities and counties at once. What's more, Jiangxia City, not far from Jiujiang, still has more than 300,000 troops.

Seeing these real and fake news, the old general dared not hesitate, and took a team of soldiers to the important town west of Jiankang to quarry. With his years of experience in fighting, Chen Fasheng felt that this matter was strange, but he couldn't understand what was strange.

However, he understood that it was impossible for so many Chen troops to emerge in Jiangdong at once. Therefore, what he was most worried about was Jiangbei. Caishi was one of the two major crossings in Jiangbei. What he was afraid of was that Jiangbei would move at this time.

For a whole day, countless spies were sent across the river to inquire about the movement, but the scouts who returned said that there was no movement on the opposite side. The defenders in Huainan seemed to have retreated to the two major cities of Hefei and Jiangdu. The rest was a military camp in Liyang along the river, but the spies who returned claimed that the defenders of Liyang were not moving.

There was no abnormal movement in Jiangbei, but Jiangdong was actually abnormal.

In the morning, I received a military message for help. A large number of Beichen troops attacked Jiangdong. I didn’t know where the army came from. But according to the report, the number of people coming from was at least 20,000. The flag shows that this army includes the army of Hu Hai, the governor of Jiangxi, Chen Shan, the governor of Anhui, and even the banner of Henan soldiers, which is amazing.

At first he thought this was false information, but not long after, he saw many Yuhang officials. From their mouths, he learned that the city of Yuhang County had fallen. And from their words, it seemed that Wu County had also been captured.

In the afternoon, another urgent report came, and the Feng Xian tribes in Lingnan had also sent troops. There were many rumors that the Baiyue local soldiers of Feng Ang and Feng Huan had already captured Zhucheng, Jian'an County, and had already killed all the way to Yongjia County, and were coming for Jiankang.

For a moment, it seemed that except for the capital Jiankang and nearby Danyang County, the Jiujun of Jiangdong had suddenly fallen into the hands of the Northern Chen Army.

A series of news made Chen Fasheng unable to calm down.

Such a fierce offensive reminded him of the war in June, when the Northern Chen army invaded a large-scale invasion. In less than half a month, it almost trapped the counties in Jiangdong. Although most of his news were transferred to the north, the nine counties in Jiangdong are now more empty and are basically unprepared. It does not take 100,000 yuan. If there is really a Chen army of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and Lingnan sends troops, it is normal for the counties to be lost. Even the capital of Jiankang is already in crisis.

He asked for help everywhere, and the Shen Dharma was in a dilemma.

To rescue, you have to send a army to go. According to previous information, this is a Chen army of 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the Lingnan army has already arrived, with at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. If you want to deal with them, you can't stop it. But now there are only nearly 100,000 people near Jiankang in Jiangdong, most of which are miscellaneous old and weak. If the faction is too small, not only can't be able to escape the siege, but it may also be swallowed up by the meat buns and dogs.

Many people were sent, but the defense lines between Jiankang City and the Yangtze River were weak.

By noon, there was another urgent report that when Chen Fen was found moving from Yuhang to Jiankang, Chen Fasheng finally couldn't sit still. For a long time, Jiankang's defense focused on defending the front line of the Yangtze River, but Yuhang and Wujun behind Jiankang were not prepared for it. If the enemy really came, it would be passive. What he was most worried about was that Chen Jun would first cut off the connection between Jiankang and Caishi and Jingkou. At that time, the 30,000 old and weak in Jiankang who had never seen blood were difficult to defend without anyone taking charge of the overall situation.

The remaining elite soldiers and horses were in Caishi and Jingkou, two major frontier areas, and Jiangbei. The capital was actually all old and weak.

Chen Fasheng did not dare to neglect, so he immediately ordered the transfer of 20,000 troops from Dangtu and Chushan. He also sent people to send orders to Jiankang and Jingkou, asking them to transfer 10,000 troops to gather at Siping Mountain south of Danyang, and prepared to gather troops to block Chen Jun from Siping Mountain.

Caishi originally had 30,000 troops, of which about 10,000 elite troops. This time, Chen Fasheng gritted his teeth and basically transferred 5,000 elite troops from Caishi. In this way, although Caishi still had 10,000 troops, only 5,000 elite troops were left. These 10,000 troops were still tied to defend three cities and one village, and the soldiers were suddenly a little stretched.

Chen Fasheng sent all his sons to command the 40,000 men and horses that had been pieced together to fight the invading Chen Jun. He stayed in Caishi, and only 10,000 men and horses were left in Caishi. He was really worried about this strategic fortress.

After several sons led their troops away, Chen Fasheng immediately began to send a cavalry to block all roads, and ordered fishermen along the river to be prohibited from going down the river, and all boats were prohibited from leaving the dock. On the one hand, he ordered the gates of the three cities and one village to close the gates of the city gates, and urgently recruited all the young and strong men and women in each city to serve the people and go to the city to help defend.

In this tense atmosphere, Chen Fasheng was so worried that he couldn't even eat. He had been patrolling the city for five or six times in half a day, fearing that there would be any movement on the Yangtze River at this time. When he thought that Chen's army launched a large-scale invasion, the biggest threat was naturally the enemy crossing the river.

The night is dark, the moon is dark without wind, and the stars are bleak.

When it was approaching the fourth day of the morning, Chen Fasheng, who was patrolling the city, suddenly found a light cavalry coming from the west. He saw the rushing team playing the flag of the Wu army, and the soldiers wearing the Wu army's armor. The number of people did not seem to be large, about 500 people.

Chen Fasheng did not dare to be careless and immediately asked the soldiers to shout to the city.

"Stop, which unit are you from?"

A lieutenant rushed out from the city, holding a letter in his hand and said: "I am under General Chen Dang's command. Under the orders of His Highness Regent and General Chen, the special star returned to the rescue and quarrying night. We are the light cavalry of the vanguard camp, and General Chen immediately led the infantry to come back. There are military orders and seals from Princess Regent and General Chen, so please send someone to check it."

Chen Fasheng browsed when he heard this, stopped the soldiers who were about to move, and went up to him and shouted, "Isn't Jiujiang lost? Why did General Chen Dang bring people back to the rescue again?"

"Jiujiang was indeed taken away by Chen thieves, but His Highness the Regent then sent someone to take back Jiujiang. His Highness received an urgent report from Jiangdong and immediately led his army back. General Chen from our family asked the Regent Princess to make meritorious service and return to the forefront because of the loss of Jiujiang."

Chen Fasheng sent someone to check and confirmed that the person below was indeed Chen Dang's army. The officer came back and reported that he knew many of the officers below, and they were indeed Chen Dang's generals. He and Chen Dang's army had been stationed together before.

After hearing this, Chen Fasheng finally felt relieved. If the Wu army did not return to support, he would not know how to deal with the two armies of Hu Hai and Lingnan. Now, as long as the army returns to support, even if the Chen army can do anything, as long as they defend the front line of the Yangtze River, the tens of thousands of Chen troops would not be far from defeat.

The Shen family finally survived this level again.
