Ruyin, the marching chief Xichaluo and several generals were listening to the statements of the defeated soldiers. The capital of Huozhou Prefecture fell, and most of Huozhou was occupied by the Yuwen family. This was a very bad situation for Ruyin, and it could be said that it was attacked from three sides.

More than 160 miles east of Ruyin is Qicheng, occupied by the Chen army; Lujiang, more than 160 miles south of Ruyin, and Yue'an County, Huozhou, more than 160 miles west of Ruyin, occupied by Yuwen's army.

Ruyin is attacked on three sides, and only the north is still the territory. Among them, Shouchun is located about 200 miles west of Ruyin, while Zhongli is located about 230 miles east of Ruyin, with Yinling Daze in the middle.

Shouchun and Zhongli were all under the control of the official army at this time, and Ruyin has now become a protruding part and is easily cut by the enemy alone.

There is Feishui west of Ruyin, which flows from south to north, and enters the Huai River through Shouchun. This waterway facilitates the army to go from Ruyin to Shouchun. Shouchun soldiers and horses are about to come to Ruyin, either by land or by boat against the current.

Therefore, Ruyin is the barrier of Shouchun. If Ruyin falls, Shouchun will face direct attack from the enemy, and Zhongli is also under the siege of the enemy at this time and cannot divide his troops to reinforce Shouchun.

The Bozhou army, which could have reinforced Shouchun, could not mobilize too many troops to move south because of the deteriorating situation in Yuzhou.

In this way, whether the official troops stationed in Ruyin to go or stay must be made as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the enemy surrounds Ruyin, there will be no large number of reinforcements coming to rescue the siege in a short period of time, and it will not be so easy for the defenders to break through.

However, can the enemy surround Ruyin?

Xipiluo asked the defeated soldiers who had finished reporting to retreat, and looked at the map and began to discuss countermeasures. He did not think that the enemy could surround Ruyin to death, because Chen's army and Yuwen's army could not really join hands to join the city.

When the Yuwen family's army attacked the city, they must be wary of the Chen army's yellow birds behind. Similarly, if the Chen army wants to attack the city, they must be wary of the Yuwen family's yellow birds behind. These two armies will inevitably be unable to attack the city or siege the city with all their strength, so the Ruyin defenders have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If these troops can be attracted outside Ruyin, then the pressure on Shouchun will be much less.

However, Ruyin lacks food and grass. If the grain channels between them and Shouchun are cut off, it will not last for a few months by just reserving grain. If we only deal with Chen Jun, everyone will still have the confidence to hold on until autumn, but the other side is Zhu Wang Yuwen Wen, that would be different.

King Zhu (King of Xiyang) Yuwen Wen was the biological father of his son today, but it was a must-kill for the Prime Minister. Xichaluo knew this, but he and the generals also knew that it was Yuwen Wen who ruined the Prime Minister's good things.

The news of Shao Ling's defeat was not long ago transmitted to Ruyin through Shouchun, which made Xi Chaluo, the marching general who had just experienced the defeat in Guangling, quite frustrated. The situation in Henan is now grim. The Huainan official army does not have much foreign aid, so it is difficult to resist the Chen army, and it is difficult to resist the tiger Yuwen Wen.

Xichaluo was not unfamiliar with Yuwen Wen. About six years ago, Yuwen Wen, who was the governor of Huangzhou, went to Yecheng through Huainan and passed through Yangzhou Prefecture to govern Shouchun. Xichaluo, who was the governor of Yangzhou at that time, entertained the other party.

Yuwen Wen had a conflict with Xishalu's nephew Xi Sheng outside Shouchun City, and Xishaluo's memory of the scene at that time was very new.

Xi Sheng and Yuwen Wen took on the hatred, and later something happened in Yecheng. Yuwen Wen was almost castrated in prison. Later, Xi Sheng died of a crime. Although there was no evidence to prove that Xi Sheng's death was related to Yuwen Wen, Xi Cha Luo always felt that Yuwen Wen was inseparable from this matter.

Putting aside personal grievances, Yuwen Wen's recent record is obvious to all. Xichaluo dared not take it lightly, but it was precisely because Yuwen Wen came to take Ruyin in person that he came up with a good plan.

The alliance between Yuwen and Chen State was very fragile, and it was not that they did not have the opportunity to sow discord, but Xichaluo believed that Ruyin was the best poison bait, just like Jingzhou in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty and the Eastern Wu.

Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but did not return it. Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu was very angry about this. It happened that Guan Yu, the general of Shu Han who was in charge of Jingzhou, made a northern expedition. Wu general Lu Meng crossed the river in white and attacked Jiangling successfully, causing Guan Yu to be defeated and captured.

Shu Han and Eastern Wu broke up for this, and then the Battle of Yiling broke out. Shu Han was defeated in this battle and suffered great damage to his vitality. At this point, Shu Han and Eastern Wu could no longer pose too much threat to Cao Wei.

Xichaluo felt that Ruyin was an excellent poison bait that could prompt the breakup between Chen State and Yuwen Family. If Yuwen Wen occupied Ruyin, how could the Chen army stationed in Qicheng be willing to be willing?

Yuwen Wen, who occupied Ruyin, must be wary of Qicheng's sneak attack on the Chen army. The two sides plotted against each other, and Yuwen Wen had no spare energy to attack Shouchun.

Xichaluo's plan was followed by the generals and decided to send someone to Shouchun immediately for help, and went to Zhongli to ask for help from the Taiwan Secretary of the South East Road to the southeast Road to ask for emergency, and then submitted Xichaluo's handwritten letter to Yuchi Youqi for review.

Should we stick to Ruyin for a long time and buy time for the defenders of Shouchun and Zhongli; or should we throw Ruyin out as poisonous bait to lure Yuwen and Chen State to break up, and it will be decided by Yuchi Youqi.

Xichaluo hoped that Yuchi Youqi would adopt his strategy and abandon Ruyin, so that his troops would be able to defend Shouchun and make Shouchun city defense more stable. If he defended Ruyin to the death, it would not be of much use except attracting enemy troops.

But before Yuchi Youqi makes a decision, Ruyin must be defended, and Xichaluo will not abandon the city without authorization, so as not to cause any harm to kill him.

The official army was defeated in Tongguan, Guangling and Shaoling. The Prime Minister must be in a very bad mood. Whoever dared to emerge at this time would inevitably be killed and scared by the monkey. As the direct general of the Yuchi family, Xichaluo naturally would not be the one who emerged.

Although Yuwen Wen is very good at fighting, Xichaluo felt that the opponent's troops could not be sufficient, and it was not that easy to capture Ruyin.

Some generals are still not optimistic about this: "General Manager, if Yu Wen Wen joins the Lujiang army, his strength will inevitably increase greatly. If..."

"There is no in case, the Lujiang garrison will focus on the Chen army in Qicheng. Since Yuwen has divided his troops to eliminate the forts in various places, where can he get so many soldiers on hand that he can surround Ruyin so hard that it is impossible to escape?"

......

In Lujiang, there were cheers coming one after another in the camp outside the city. The soldiers of Zhou army were crossing the road to welcome the commander. The arrival of King Yuwen of Xiyang. Since the capture of Jiangzhou last year, many soldiers have never seen King Xiyang again.

At the same time, many opportunities to make contributions are gone.

The King of Xiyang led his army from Jiangzhou to the south. Not only did he fight to Lingbiao Guangzhou Fanyu, but he also pacified Jiaozhou and even attacked the capital of Linyi. There were constant wars along the way. Although Lingbiao was a place of smoky land and outsiders were prone to illness and death, the soldiers who stayed in Jiangzhou were not afraid, and they were more eager to make meritorious contributions.

Left behind Jiangzhou, not only did they miss the opportunity to fight in the south, but they did not have the opportunity to participate in the battle after the internal strife broke out in the court. The King of Xiyang rushed back to Shannan from Lingbiao, and fought many bad battles one after another, and they would win every battle.

In the end, Yu Shaoling defeated more than 100,000 enemy troops. The news spread to Lujiang, which made everyone excited and couldn't help but feel sad: they had no chance to participate in the war.

Now that the King of Xiyang is here, he is going to lead everyone to war!

Amid the cheers, Yuwen Wen walked to the wooden platform built on the colonel's field. Looking at the dark soldiers in front of him, he didn't say nonsense and raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, are you ready to follow me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"
