The news of unfavorable wars came from southern Henan, which cast a haze on Shi Zhao's journey to praise Wu's power. Not only did Zhongshan King Shi Hu be angry at the thunder, but the other generals of all the lines also criticized Shi Cong, who was defeated and humiliated by the army, and even cursed him.

The insults of Shi Cong in the army were not limited to the top generals, but soon spread to the lower-level soldiers and soldiers. After the news came, the army began to accelerate the march, and the military discipline became stricter, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn for a moment.

As a result, the generals and soldiers who had been used to marching casually and had a very uncomfortable feeling, and their mentality was not good enough to completely adjust. Many generals and soldiers violated the ban, and then suffered severe military punishments. Even Wang Yi, Zhongshan, was not spared from the Central Army. For example, the previous hunting or the free movement of the army were strictly prohibited. If there were any violations, the most serious ones were even beheaded and told to the army as a warning.

In the first two days, all the troops did not agree. Shi Cong was a mediocre talent and was defeated by the weak army of the Southern people. This only proves that he was too unbearable, and it does not mean that the Southern Army was so powerful.

This time, hundreds of thousands of troops came south, and they were the ones who would win. Why was it so nervous? It was still nearly a thousand miles away from the Huai River and had not even seen the shadow of the southerners. There was no need to act like a big enemy, which would only increase the arrogance of the southerners.

However, when a Zhongshan Wang Yicong beheaded for violating military orders and his head was revealed to the army, the soldiers finally realized that this was not a joke, so they all hurriedly restrained their subordinates and restrained their actions. In this way, the military discipline was greatly eliminated for a while, and the rural families along the way were exempted from many inhumane harms.

The soldiers of the Chinese people were greatly restrained, but many of the army became ready to move. The Hu clan's moral character was already complicated, including the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Diqiang, Lingding, Yuezhi, etc., and all Hu were both. Some were like Jie Hu, who had been attached for a long time, and took advantage of the chaos before returning to Jie Hu, and some were captured by their defeated opponents in their early years.

Among them, the larger ones are nearly 30,000 old subordinates of the Han and Zhao in the early years, and more than 20,000 Xianbei in the western Liao Dynasty.

These armies gathered together to maintain their original tribal structure. Even the current Shi Zhao court and even the Zhongshan King Shihu who is currently in charge of the army, there are very few who can interfere with their internal affairs.

It is a semi-independent existence, and there is no loyalty to Shi Zhao. As long as the money and food are provided, it does not mean much to them, which one is loyal to them or where to attack them. There is even the idea of ​​waiting and waiting for the world to change again in their hearts. After all, in essence, they are the same type of people as Zhao Zhu Shi Le in his early years, and probably have a thought in their hearts. What's wrong with me?

Therefore, Shi Cong was defeated by the Jin army in Huainan in southern Henan this time, which had a very bad impact on the entire Jiehu army going south. Zhuhu Yishi occupied nearly one-third of the army. When they subconsciously had the intention of waiting and watching, the impact on the morale of the entire army was too serious.

As the commander of the army, Shi Hu also felt that many Hu troops had inflexible dispatch, delayed military orders, and demand for food and supplies increased significantly.

Shi Hu was in the military service for a long time, so he was naturally familiar with this phenomenon, so he soon had a solution. He first sent his confidant generals to the supervisors of each army, and then ordered the army to draw elite troops into the central army to be exiled. Generals who were resistant to resistance also tried to appease or seize their posts according to their respective circumstances.

Although the methods are mainly tough, they are also gentle. Although they aroused some complaints and riots, the cohesion of the army was strengthened a bit. This is also because he has a lofty prestige in the army, almost second only to Zhao Zhushile. If another general was replaced, he might not be able to remove these uneasy factors so fiercely.

While reorganizing the army, Shi Hu sent cavalry to the countryside along the road, ordering these local officials and local lords to prepare for the army, and must come to the army to pay homage. For these local officials and portals, he also ordered and showed goodwill, instead of blindly tyrannical and humiliating. Even for some local portals, Da Xu Mingjue, who catered to the eagerness, all those who had children from the local portals were kept in the central army as the commander, and the kindness and reward were great.

Shi Hu certainly understood that the land in southern Henan was not a good place. In the early years, the Qihu army and the Zu family were entrenched here alternately. Moreover, the small courts of the remnants of Jin who lived in the Jiangbiao also sent envoys to win over and lobby in this area, which made the land very disinterested. These local portals may have to cater to the army, but in fact, it is still unpredictable to see how they are thinking.

But this is not important. Even if these people have a different intention, they will never dare to raise an army directly to fight against the army. In front of his vast army, even if there are any conspiracies, they will not have the opportunity to perform. And when he goes south to defeat the enemy troops of the Jin army entrenched in Huainan, and directly faces the river. Even if those who are unwilling to be loyal to Jin Zuo, they will have no way to express their loyalty, and they will eventually bow their heads.

After hitting the arrogance of the Southern People, Shi Hu will have enough time and energy to clear the place and drive out all the potential threats!

Although the central army dispatched several light cavalry to the south and merged into the vanguard to accelerate its marching, the scale did not decrease but increased because of the addition of other troops. After entering the Yingshui River after Wuchang, the army divided more than 30,000 people and turned to Nanyang, where they merged with the army in Jingzhou and Guanzhong. Hedong Wang Shisheng led the counterattack of Xiangyang and Han Mian.

Although King Shi Sheng of Hedong is far less famous than King Shihu of Zhongshan, he is also a brave and good fighter among the kings in Shi Zhaozong. In Guanzhong and Jingzhou, there are already many soldiers, and these 30,000 reinforcements from the country may not be able to defeat the southern thief Lao Gou, but it should not be a big problem to recover Xiangyang.

This time the division of troops was not Shi Hu, but the arrangement that Zhao Master Shi Le had made earlier. Although Shi Hu was dissatisfied with this, he did not dare to resist at that time. Otherwise, if he angered the Lord, he would be afraid that even his military post would be deprived of his military post again.

Therefore, Shi Hu was extremely mean to the division of troops along the way. All of them were scattered soldiers in the counties and states, and they did not use much weapons, armor and weapons, and even had too many deductions in food and grass.

Although Shi Sheng was his cousin, the two of them were really lacking in family affection, and even resented each other. Shi Sheng resented that he was very popular, and his master loved him very much and was used in the country. However, he was dissatisfied with Shi Sheng's ability to keep Guanzhong, a place where the royal family was once apart, and he was a barrier. If he could seize the Han and Zhao country, he would hold heavy troops and suppress the barbarians in Guanzhong, and he could establish his own family. Why should he be trapped in the country? It depends on the expression of others, and he was even framed by Jin slaves and traitors such as Cheng Xia!

In fact, when Shi Hu went abroad this time, the one who wanted to remove the most was not Shi Lang and other family slaves, but the king of the border sect like Shi Sheng. So at the beginning, he hoped that the army would go straight to Nanyang, seize Shi Sheng's troops, and then seize Xiangyang. After taking over Xiangyang, the upstream forces rushed down the river directly, surrounded the two sides, and hanged the ignorant Jin army in Huainan, which was invincible, so that the Jin people would never dare to cross the river and peek again.

At the same time, it greatly shocked the barbarians in Guanzhong and took them for their own use. When they returned to the country with this general trend, the master would no longer be able to give him too much control. At that time, the great throne would be taken, and the barbarians in Guanzhong would sweep away the Liao territory and seize the Xianbei people. At that time, the army would be armed with more than one million troops, and several groups would be used to destroy Wu. The world would be unified and a great achievement would be achieved!

However, the Lord was too cautious about him, which made him have only ambitions but difficult to fulfill. He could only retreat and seek the next step and head straight to Shouchun.

But if the Lord thought that this would be able to pinch him tightly and fight for the bad son born to his servants, that would be a dream!

This time Shi Hu went abroad, although most of his wife and children stayed in Xiangguo, his sons all grew up, so he had to follow the army to seek merit. As early as when he left Xiangguo, Shi Hu sent his two sons to Qingzhou under the escort of his confidant to secretly summon Zhuangwu.

When he captures Shouchun, he will naturally have to follow the trend and attack eastward. If the king of Pengcheng, Shikan, who is in charge of Xu Fang, is unwilling to cooperate, he can win the Shikan with a great victory. At that time, his army will advance eastward, and his sons will attack Qingzhou and be attacked from both sides, so Shikan will not be a problem!

At that time, the power he has is definitely not controlled by the Lord. He has a large position to negotiate with the Lord. If it is not in harmony, he can sit here. When the Lord grows old and dies, it will naturally be another situation.

Therefore, for Shi Hu, the purpose of the south this time is not as simple as establishing his authority, but also related to his future, so there is no need to make any mistakes. So when he passed Xuchang and approached Yingchuan, Shi Hu repeatedly ordered Shi Cong to come to see him quickly. On the one hand, he asked in detail about the virtual and realities of the Jin army in Huainan. Who was the commander of the troops? He dared to make trouble in the south when he was about to move south. It was really hateful!

On the other hand, he must severely punish Shi Cong, a thief who humiliated the country! If it weren't for the defeat of this slave in Henan, he would not have been so passive recently. He had been doing so frequently to barely eliminate the hidden worries brought by the defeat to the army. If he did not severely punish this thief, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart!
