Perhaps in the heart of the old governor Zang Min, the rebels this time would probably be led by Xu Zhao, the thief who proclaimed himself the Emperor of Yangming, but in fact it was not the case. The one who attacked Guangling Army was Shen Xing, one of the three heavenly kings under the anti-imperial Xu Zhao.

"I thought it was someone... I didn't expect it was that old man Zang Min!"

On the bow of a giant sailing ship on the riverside of the Linjiang Plain, Shen Xing, who was wearing golden helmet and armor, was staring at the fighting between the two armies on the plain, grinning.

Behind Shen Xing stood the four beloved generals under his command, namely Gongfeng, Yushan, Wuma, and Liuchen. They were all strong and powerful. Among them, Gongfeng stroked his beard and laughed and said, "Did the Heavenly King see that old man?"

Shen Xing laughed and said, "You don't have to look at it, you know it's that old man! The late emperor was in Juzhang to pursue hegemony. The old man was the prefect of Wanling and led troops to attack our country of Yue... I had a fight with his two armies for a while."

The last emperor he mentioned refers to Xu Zhao's biological father, Xu Sheng, who is now the lord of Yue. Eight years ago, Xu Sheng took the lead in Juzhang County, Kuaiji County, Yangzhou, and called himself the king. He established the country as Yue. He led his troops to attack at that time. The most outrageous of them was Zang Min. Mr. Zang was the prefect of Wanling in Danyang County at that time. When he learned that there were treasons in Kuaiji County, he invited Xu Feng, the then prefect of Danyang. The two crossed the county and led their troops to attack Xu Sheng, causing Xu Sheng's plan to become king to die.

Now, after eight years, Xu Sheng's son Xu Zhao took over his father's mantle and raised his troops to rebel again. Shen Xing, who is also a veteran of the two dynasties, probably would have met his old opponent this time. The premonition came true. As soon as he stepped into the territory of Guangling County, Shen Xing noticed the existence of his old opponent from the strange actions of the Guangling Army.

"That old man is really as sensible as the king of heaven?" Yu Shan, a general from the Fujian clan, asked with a frown.

The Min tribe in Nanyue supported Xu Zhao in recent years. Therefore, Yushan did not participate in the battle between Zang Min and Shen Xing eight years ago, so he did not know how powerful Zang Min was. He felt a little incredible when he heard this.

"Don't underestimate that old man Zang Min." Shen Ying touched his beard and murmured while recalling the war before, "That old man used his troops in an ordinary way, just like an old woman. He was going to drag you, but he was dragging him, for some reason, he won. You lost the battle but you didn't know where you lost. I still haven't figured out where you lost that battle." In the last sentence, Shen Ying shook his head in a sigh tone and said.

"Mo Jiang thinks that the king is probably too proud of that old man." Wu Ma, who is also a Fujian native, sneered with a cold face, "In Mo Jiang's opinion, this old man is not enough to be able to do anything, and is merciful and ruthless, and it is difficult to achieve great things!"

"Oh?" Shen Xing looked at Wuma with a smile. He knew that the Min people in Nanyue had always been prejudice against the Han Dynasty, so he didn't care.

"Isn't it?" Wu Ma raised his hand and pointed to the Linjiang Plain and said sneered, "It was the same that both sides dispatched three thousand soldiers to test each other's strength, but our army traveled a long distance and the soldiers were exhausted, but despite this, the Guangling Army still did not gain the upper hand. If the Guangling Army was not a mob, then there was only one possibility, that is, the Guangling Army was also marching from other places. I heard that our army was preparing to land here today and come to stop it."

"What do you want to say?" Shen Xing asked with a smile.

"In order to stop our landing, the old man asked his troops to march quickly, but in just a round of tentative confrontation, he ordered Mingjin to retreat. Isn't this a ruthless person? Since he was determined to stop our army from landing here, why didn't he stand until the end and force our army to retreat with a fierce battle?"

Shen Xing laughed without saying a word after hearing this. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed, "You are right. If you can see these, it means you have some vision. However, you don't think enough..."

Wu Ma's face stopped and looked at Shen Ying in confusion.

Seeing this, Shen Xing stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "I know that old man Zang Min too much... If the old man ignored the strength gap between the two armies and was so stupid that he fought with our army here, even if the military strategy says "half-crossing attack", he would not be the opponent of our army. If he was really stupid, he would not deserve to be kept in my heart."

"That's it?"

"The reason why he asked his soldiers to march here and fight with our army was nothing more than to show his attitude to our army: Guangling County is now fully prepared, and even if you wait for a sneak attack, you will not get any advantage." He glanced at Wuma, and Shen Xing said with a smile, "Forcing us to change the tactics of quick battle and decisiveness and fall into his way of using troops. This is the real purpose of the old man here!"

Wu Ma couldn't help but look slightly red when he heard this. After all, he was really upset in his heart when the Guangling Army appeared. He was upset that Guangling County had been prepared, making it difficult for him to attack quickly. Now that he was exposed by Shen Xing's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to underestimate Zang Min anymore.

"Does the King of Heaven plan to 'cooperate' that old man Zang Min?" Liu Chen, the only man in his thirties who had not spoken so far, asked in a deep voice.

Shen Xing looked at the Guangling Army, which was retreating in an orderly manner on the Linjiang Plain, shook his head and said, "Our army used the quick attack tactic to capture the vast Wu County. The soldiers were exhausted and they were not willing to make a fortune. Otherwise, they would probably give the old man an opportunity to take advantage of it. After a day of rest, he slowly took a look." As he said, he turned around and walked to the table at the bow of the ship, looked at the Guangling Army map placed on the table, and said in a deep voice, "As the Guangling map we have drawn, this Linjiang Plain has an estimated distance of 70 or 80 miles according to Guangling. There are three roads to lead to Guangling River Capital. Just cross the three bridges. Look, these three bridges, Pinqiao, Yinqiao and Tianqiao."

Seeing that the coach began to explain the strategy, Gong Feng, Yushan, Wu Ma and others did not interrupt and listened carefully.

"These three bridges are the gateways of Guangling River Capital. Even if the old man Zang Min tightens the defense line, he will not give up these three strongholds. Furthermore, there are military farms along the three roads, as well as large and small villages. Guangling County is similar to the Wu County that our army conquered. All the wealthy families have private soldiers, at least a hundred and at most hundreds. In case, you must purge all villages along the way, and don't leave a nail behind you!"

"I will understand it."

"Pinqiao passes through Dongshishan, there are several villages and a military field camp. The terrain is rugged. I always think that Zang Min will definitely not be willing to give up here. Gong Feng, you will severely suppress the morale of Guangling Army for me." Shen Xing looked at Gong Feng with high hopes. After all, the latter is his favorite general. He is not only civil and military, but also calm in character. He is definitely a candidate for the general who can entrust important tasks.

"The last one understands." Gong Feng took over the task with great confidence.

"Yushan, you take Yinqiao. If you take Yinqiao, you must take the Tang family and Yao family. These two local wealthy families have a good relationship with the Guangling government. I will manage military farming for them. I think I will probably not ask you to succeed easily, so you must be careful."

"Don't worry, the king." Yu Shan nodded indifferently.

"Wuma, you take the third road to attack Tianqiao. This road is the farthest away from Guangling. But if you are lucky, Zang Min did not have any troops in that village, but it is the easiest place to succeed. But don't take it lightly. On this road, there was a military camp led by Ren Wu, the commander of Guangling Army, and was called Ren Wu's army. If our army ignored it, if Zang Lao arranged an ambush here, he could take our army's main lineup directly. To prevent the night and dreams from happening, you have wiped out this place for me."

"yes!"

"Jiuchen stays in this formation and waits for your order. You three set out immediately. You can decide everything big and small on the way. Let's go!" Shen Xing said decisively with a wave of his hand.

Gong Feng, Yushan, and Wu Ma retreated with their fists.

Shen Xing slowly walked to the bow of the ship, looked at the direction of the retreat of Guangling Army, and murmured: "Zang Min, Zang Min, since you want to play this game carefully with Shen, what's the point of Shen fulfilling you? I hope you don't regret it in the future!"

Somehow he thought of something, Shen Xing raised an inexplicable strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the way, the Guangling defenders where Zhang Huang and others were located had retreated to the vicinity of Dongshishan. They thought not as much as Zang Min and the rebel commander Shen Xing. Seeing that the battle in the Linjiang Plain could be fought, their side chose to Mingjin defenders. Li Tong and Chen Dao were puzzled and sulked.

In fact, not only Zhang Huang and others, but also the uncle Lu Min also regretted the confrontation just now. After all, they had twenty-six entries combined with the 21 entries of Wang Zhuo Bochang, and the other 17 entries of another uncle. Three hundred people hugged them into a group to attack the rebels' defense line, which had a considerable impact on the rebels' formation. As a result, when victory was in sight, the sound of gold came from the formation, and even Lu Min was a little confused.

[Our army marched here day and night, wasn’t it just to stop the rebels from landing on the riverside? Why didn’t we fight until the end?]

Although he was puzzled, Lu Min did not dare to say it because the gang of fierce soldiers under his command were already furious. If he said anything else, Zhang Huang and others might be likely to make trouble in the general tent of the military and ask the head coach Zang Min for questioning the matter.

"Dangdangdang--"

Several messengers who were beating cymbals came on horseback and shouted out the latest orders from the military command post.

"The commander's order is passed on, and the troops are divided here: the first army goes west, guards Pinqiao to the boundary of Dongshishan; the second army guards Yinqiao to Tangjiatun and Yaojiatun; the third army guards Tianqiao and serves as the fifth army station, and there must be no mistakes."

"At the time of the long-rank military officer, after hearing this, he immediately went to the generals of each army."

"Divide the troops? At this time?" Bo Zheng Lu Min muttered, but did not dare to disobey. He temporarily asked Zhang Huang to take over the twenty-six tents and set off to wait for their first army General Yang Qi.

About half an hour later, Lu Min returned to the team with a strange expression, holding a scroll of scribbled map in his hand.

"Tao Lu, where are we guarding?" Zhao Yong, the anxious Sanshishi chief, asked impatiently.

Lu Min sighed slightly and handed the map in his hand to a long one. When he turned his head, he encountered Zhang Huang's puzzled gaze. He smiled bitterly and whispered, "I don't know why, I'll get the most troublesome place to collect the twenty-six tents."

Zhang Huang was about to ask, but suddenly Zhao Yong took a breath and shouted in distractedly, "Dongshi Village?"

[Dongshi Village?]

Zhang Huang looked at Zhao Yong in confusion, and then slowly savored the taste.

It seems that Dongshi Village is the only village on Dongshi Mountain that can be regarded as a stronghold...

[Isn't it because we asked us to guard Dongshishan?]

Zhang Huang's expression suddenly became as strange as Lu Min.

Because on that day, there were only 71 soldiers left in their twenty-six tents. However, the military headquarters asked them, 71 people, to guard a hill that was nearly ten miles away.

"What a joke?!"

The soldiers in the twenty-six tents suddenly became a fuss, causing soldiers from other 100-man teams to look at each other.
