Losing Henan is a loss that Zhu Youzhen's regime in Daliang could not bear. Now Luoyang, Chang'an and other places can still maintain peace. The biggest reliance is to rely on the canal transport to transport a large amount of materials from Henan to ensure the basic operation of these two major cities. Once Henan, the fundamental place where the Xuanwu Army started, Daliang will really enter the countdown.

Therefore, even though he faced direct threats from Tu Lichun and Wang Sili's two Tang troops, Zhu Youzhen still transferred an elite imperial guard with 10,000 people. In addition, Xu Fu's 10,000 troops were drawn from Luoyang and other places, led by Xu Fu's son Xu Chong, to leave Tongguan and rush to help Henan.

However, in the Henan region, it is Cao Xuan who is in charge of the overall situation.

After all, the land of Henan was the foundation of Xuanwu's founding. The Zhu family's rule here was complicated. Facing the large-scale attack from the Tang army, Cao Xuan, Zhu Chi and others carried out 120,000 spirits and mobilized them all, but formed an army of 200,000 people.

However, although the army was formed, the situation they faced was still extremely dangerous. The Tang army launched an attack on Henan from several directions at the same time.

Tian Ping attacked by self-defense, and Liu Chenglin headed straight to Xinxiang. After pacifying Huainan, You Yong turned around and attacked Bozhou. Liu Ruyan, who was in Eyue, took Anlu and Guangshui, and then took Xinyang.

Tian Ping's Right Jinwu Guard, You Yong's Left Xiao Guard, and Liu Chenglin's You Xiao Guard are all fully equipped with a whole army of guards, with 30,000 soldiers per army, plus auxiliary troops and civilians, each guard has more than 50,000 people. Even Liu Ruyan now has an army of more than 20,000.

The 110,000 reorganized Tang army, plus the auxiliary military and civilians, mobilized more than 200,000 people.

For Cao Xuan and the others, it is obviously unrealistic to defend themselves on all battlefields. Defensiveness is the main focus in that direction, and counterattacking in that direction is also a painful choice for them.

In the end, after repeated weighing, Cao Xuan, Zhu Chi, Xu Chong and others placed their main target on Liu Chenglin's right guard.

Among these troops, there is no doubt that Liu Chenglin's right guard is the most powerful and has the most powerful combat power.

Choosing Liu Chenglin is also a last resort.

The next goal of Liu Ruyan and You Yong must be Xuchang.

However, Liu Chenglin and Tian Ping pointed at Bianzhou. Bianzhou was the center of the ruling of the Xuanwu Army.

With the current strength of the Liang army in Henan, it is impossible to defeat each one. The only possibility is to concentrate superior forces and choose a enemy to attack in order to win.

If you choose the most threatening Liu Chenglin, as long as you win the battle, you can effectively revitalize the entire Henan battlefield. In order to find space to move between a game of dead chess.

After deciding on the combat plan, the Liang army in Henan immediately began to deploy combat against Liu Chenglin. If this battle is fought well and fast, it is absolutely impossible to form a stalemate with Liu Chenglin. Once it cannot fight quickly and win, Tian Ping's minister rushed straight into Bianzhou, and the entire battle situation will be deteriorated.

In the final decisive battle, Cao Xuan chose Changyuan.

In this battle, Cao Xuan gathered the elite headquarters of the Tianping Army that belonged to him. Xu Chong brought 20,000 elite troops from Guanzhong and 10,000 Xuanwu Army led by Zhu Chi, the descendant of Xuanwu, totaling 50,000 troops. These 50,000 troops were really the essence of the Liang army.

It can be said that if this battle is defeated, the Liang army will inevitably suffer a complete defeat in Henan, and it will only be a matter of time before it will be lost.

Although he took great risks, this was Liang Jun's last choice.

As the whole world's anti-Li Ze alliance was basically formed, the only hope of Liang's army was to preserve its vitality while defending Henan, and wait for forces such as Zhang Zhongwu in the northeast, Xun in the south to form a restraint on Li Ze.

If Li Zezhen died unexpectedly as some people planned, then on the basis of chaos in the world, Liang Jun could only make a comeback if he saved Henan.

Otherwise, their destruction will still be a matter of time.

Xiang Xun has heavy troops in the south, but is obviously watching the tiger fight. This person now puts his strength on integrating southern resources. After the Hunan Observer announced his alliance with Xiang Xun, Xiang Xun's tentacles once again extended to Annan and Qianzhou.

Xiang Xun's goal was very clear. He and Li Ze were nominally under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, and he also took advantage of his identity as the future father-in-law to watch Li Ze attack Daliang and take advantage of the expansion of his power in the south.

If Li Ze does not die, then his power in the south will also have the chance to fight against Li Ze. If Li Ze dies and the north will be in chaos, then the strongest force among the world will undoubtedly be him.

So now the only force that Daliang can hold hope is Zhang Zhongwu in the northeast. If Zhang Zhongwu wins a great victory in the northeast, he will force Li Ze to return to the aid, and Daliang will get a breather.

But no matter what, on the basis of all this, we are protecting the land of Henan.

In the future game, if you don’t have strength, you won’t be able to fart.

The intentions of Cao Xuan and others were so obvious. When Liu Chenglin launched an attack and was out of control, the Tang army had already discovered Cao Xuan and others' intentions to fight.

Liu Chenglin was not surprised but happy. He was doing his best in one battle, which was exactly what he wanted to do. If the Liang army divided the troops to defend and attacked each city and land, it would give him a headache. Now the Liang army gave up most of the territory and concentrated its troops in the Changyuan area, and wanted to decide the outcome in one battle, which was exactly what Liu Chenglin wanted.

"We don't have to take such risks." Liu Chenglin's decision was opposed by Li Rui, the general under his command. "We just need to make steady progress, advance step by step, and advance in line with Tian Ping's troops, and we can gain a strategic initiative."

Li Rui, who found Liu Chenglin in private, made his opinion straightforward.

When Li Rui was still called Hu Shier, he was a guy who was very good at taking risks, but when he became a general in command, he became an extremely cautious guy. To his own explanation, when he was called Hu Shier, taking risks was only his personal matter, and what could affect was the small number of secret spies around him. Even if he failed, he was killed by Hu Shier and a small number of secret spies. However, when he became a general in command and had to be responsible for tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, the more he fought, the more he was, the more he was warned, the more he was cautious.

"Are you worried that we won't win?" Liu Chenglin still respects the most important general under his command and a general from a secret camp. Although he doesn't care about Li Rui's identity. Because of his own background, he is much stronger than Li Rui.

"No!" Li Rui shook his head and said, "General, since the enemy wants to fight in Changyuan, we should do the opposite and hold their main force back. This will create an opportunity for Tian Ping. As long as Tian Ping attacks the city of Bianzhou, we will naturally be able to win easily in Changyuan. There is no need for the general to fight this battle with the enemy at all."

"Do you think I'm competing for me?" Liu Chenglin asked.

Li Rui closed his mouth, did not admit it, but did not deny it.

Liu Chenglin smiled and said, "I don't think Tian Ping can hit the city of Bianzhou very quickly."

"The main force of the enemy is now gathering in the Changyuan area." Li Rui said.

"Don't forget that Henan is the fundamental place of the pseudo-liang. The people here support the Zhu family in their roots." Liu Chenglin sneered: "The local forces based on clan forces have extremely strong resistance to us. You have seen how strong the resistance we encountered along the way, when the Liang army deliberately gave up, how many people have we killed along the way? These powerful people gathered together in the villagers and rely on towns and forts to resist us step by step. If this continues, Henan will be taken down by us, but we have also turned into a piece of white land. What is the use of a piece of white land for us? Will there be another ten-year reunion?"

Li Rui couldn't help but feel silent.

He was naturally clear about what Liu Chenglin said. He even witnessed the scene of a white-haired old man, a staggering old woman, a half-aged child, and a strong woman attacking his personal army. When these people fell under the swords and guns of his army, Li Rui had a trance.

These people are not rich. The clothes of the people can be seen from their housing and from their weak bodies. Compared with the people in the north, their lives can be described as hard work, but how could they be so disgusted with the Tang army who liberated them?

Clan!

This thing is too powerful in Henan. Neighbors, relatives and clans have been connected to form an airtight net.

"So Tian Ping will definitely encounter great difficulties. Because Liang Jun will never take a step back easily in front of him. With the support of these localities, Tian Ping will be very difficult every step forward." Liu Chenglin said: "If we have the opportunity to destroy the elite of Liang Jun in one battle, the other Liang Jun will definitely be brave. In this way, how many people can be killed less? And these people will be transformed by us in the future, and they will become loyal people of the new Tang Dynasty."

Li Rui took a deep breath.

"More importantly, we also need to take down the fake Liang as soon as possible. At least we must first take the Henan land and remove the foundation of the ruling of the fake Liang first. I dare say that even if the Liang army gathers heavily in Luoyang and Chang'an, it will be easier to fight than in Henan. Li Rui, do you think I need to compete for me?" Liu Chenglin sneered and said, "What is my identity? I am already a general, and my girl must be the queen of the new Tang Dynasty. In the future, people like me will even become a luxury to command troops and fight. What is the need for me to fight for nothing? After the world is unified, I will take off my armor and return to the field and go to Chang'an to be a free and carefree prince!"
