What is Chen Jun’s purpose? Is Chen Kefu trying to really capture Jiangdong? Or is he just trying to defeat Jiankang and rescue his father Chen Shen?

After thinking about it, Chen Luoyan felt that the only reason for rescuing Chen Shen was understandable. But is it so powerful that such a large-scale attack on the south and even provoking a war between the north and the south just to rescue Chen Shen? The opportunity now is worse than at any time three years ago. Why did he go south at this time?

"Oh no, everything seems to be in a mess." Chen Luoyan shook her head and turned her head again and said, "Where are the three marshals Du Fuwei?"

"The three marshals have arrived in Jiujiang. They seemed to have suffered a little loss when they retreated, so they delayed half a day. They are currently rushing to come."

Chen Luoyan was energetic and thought for a long time and said, "Okay, let's not wait for them, and we will send orders. We will change our direction and not go to quarry. We will go straight to Jiankang and first lift the siege of Jiankang. Then we will send orders to the three marshals to speed up, and then divide the troops into three groups to reinforce Caishi, Jiankang and Jingkou. The Yangtze River defense line must not be lost. If the Yangtze River defense line is lost, Jiangdong will be lost."

Chen Luoyan was determined to recover Caishi, a major ferry town, but the situation was unclear at this time, and he was worried about Jiankang. Although Jiankang could be recaptured if it was lost, if Chen Shen and the Chen family in Jiankang City were lost, they would not be able to find it. In recent years, Chen Kefu has not made a big move south. First, the Chen Dynasty was determined to govern the north and then the south, but it was also not that Chen Pojun was a little afraid of throwing the rat and was worried that he would really break up, so he forced the Shen family to kill Chen Shen and the Chen family.

If the Chen army is rescued from the Chen clan this time, there will be no last tool to threaten Chen Kefu.

In the morning breeze, the Jiankang Garrison, Imperial Guards, Iron-blooded Guards and others led by Chen Luoyan, rolled eastward with more than 80,000 troops. The 30,000 most elite Imperial Guard cavalry guarded the army along the two wings. When the army passed Qiupu, the Wu army saw a shocked scene.

On the road east along the Yangtze River, countless people who were rushing to the west were rushing to see. These people could not see the end, raising their families and hiding their children, helping their elderly and young. Some drove carriages full of large boxes, some panting to resist their entire family duties, some were empty and nothing, and the poor old man drove the two sheep to stagger; women holding children in one hand with heavy luggage and the other hand carrying heavy luggage on the cold snow, falling, the children cried loudly in their arms, mothers sobbing, and people were constantly passing by, but no one reached out to help them. The deep suffering of the war made people's hearts become selfish and numb, and their eyes were filled with confusion and dullness.

Among these people who fled, there were even many Wu soldiers wearing armor and holding swordsmen mixed in.

Chen Luoyan opened her eyes wide open. Unexpectedly, here, at this time, she actually saw the scene of the turbulent times in the Central Plains several years ago. She called to stop the carriage and got off the carriage and asked many people in person. The people saw such a huge Wu army coming from the west, and then saw that they were under the banner of princesses. Many people felt much more relaxed. Some noble families and officials even stopped running away and gathered with the back of the army.

After asking, I learned that most of the people who fled were from Jiankang, Xuancheng, and Yuhang counties. Now several Chen troops gathered near Jiankang, especially the fierce wolf soldiers from Lingnan. The countless headless corpses and heads of Jingguan on the two battlefields near Yuhang and Jiankang scared the local people. None of them dared to stay and all flee westwards in a swarm. In particular, many people near Jiankang City saw with their own eyes the scene of Chen's army breaking through the eighteen outer cities of Jiankang in just one night. The firelight and huge explosions all remembered them deeply.

"Has Jiankang City been broken?"

"It's broken, it's broken. Chen Bing broke Jiankang City in just one day!"

"Chen Bing made a method and asked Lei Gong and Ding Mother to come down to earth and help him split Jiankang."

"Many barbarians in Lingnan went north. They slaughtered the city and snatched the people. Jiankang City had been slaughtered by them, and hundreds of people were piled up! The river was red!"

Most of the people did not personally see the situation of Jiankang's battle, but they had heard countless rumors, and they all said it irresponsibly at this time. Some even put the wolves on the border of Zhejiang to annihilate 40,000 Wu troops and Li Jingguan in Jiankang, saying that Jiankang had been massacred.

"Caishi and Jingkou have long been taken away by Chenbing. These days, countless warships have sailed on the river and rolled their sails every day. Every day, countless Chenbing have crossed the river and landed on the shore. It's over, Jiangdong is from Chenbing in the north." Another irresponsible people shouted.

Various rumors are circulating. Some say that they were captured in Jiankang City and slaughtered by the barbarians of Lingnan. Some say that the Chen soldiers have captured the two Yangtze River ferries Caishi and Jingkou. Now there are countless Chen soldiers who cross the south every day. Some say that the Chen army has captured Yuhang and Kuaiji, and some say that Wujun and Piling have also been captured. Of course, some say that Jiankang City has not been destroyed yet, and some say that the Chen soldiers have retreated from Caishi to Jiangbei.

Shen Luoyan summoned his subordinates to discuss for a long time and analyzed the many rumors he got. Finally, he analyzed that Caishi must have fallen, and Jingkou must still be in the hands of the Wu army. Jiankang should also be in the hands of the Wu army, but the outer city may have been lost. In addition to the 20,000 barbarian troops in Lingnan, the regular Chen army should have about 30,000 to 50,000, which landed from Caishi.

Finally, it was concluded that there may be about 50,000 to 80,000 Chen troops under Jiankang City at this time, and the four cities of quarrying have fallen into the hands of Chen Jun. It is possible that more troops from the Chen army will cross the river from the north of the Yangtze River to land on quarrying in the near future. The city of Jiankang City may have lost the outer city, which is the most critical time.

Immediately, Shen Luoyan ordered the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Iron Blood Guards to take the lead and immediately rushed to Jiankang. She led the 20,000 infantry department of the Imperial Guards to reinforce. She immediately divided the Jiankang garrison and other troops, a total of 50,000 infantry, rushed to Caishi, recaptured Caishi, cut off the passage between Chen's army and Jiangbei, and prevented the Chen army from increasing troops again.

"Everyone, in this battle, the Chen army caught us off guard and knocked us a fierce slap. Previously, we had recovered Jian'an and cut off the retreat of the Lingnan barbarian army. Now, we want to regain Caishi, cut off the retreat of the Chen army to Jiangbei, and prevent the Chen army from continuing to reinforce."

"Everyone, the Chen army has only 50,000 to 80,000 troops, and we have more than 300,000 troops. This time, we will completely encircle these 80,000 Chen army, annihilate them all, and behead them all to avenge this revenge!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The 100,000 Wu soldiers yelled in unison, and they were extremely powerful for a moment.
