Rang County.

"General, the Shu army attacked our water camp at night, and now it has broken through our defense line. The vanguard of the Shu army, Dongzhou, is less than a hundred miles away from the county town of Rangxian."

Jin Xin was twenty-five and sixth. Although he was a military general, he looked a little delicate. He looked at the map on the table and was studying the war carefully with several generals and officers in the Heilong Army. The one who came to report was Jin Xin's deputy, Huan Zicheng.

Huanzi was never a member of the Heizai army, but a deputy general sent by Huan Zhong. Jin Xin did not like this person who was a few years younger than him. In theory, he should be considered his brother-in-law.

Because this person is not in military affairs, he always wants to get a hand in the black army and prove his existence, which is particularly annoying to Jin Xin.

"What's the panic?"

Huan Zi was really panicked. Once the defense line ahead was broken, the Shu army could march straight in.

"That's Yang Xian! His 50,000 Shu troops under his command broke through Dankou, which was run by Zhong Shu for a long time in just one battle. Now our army has lost the danger that can be defended on the periphery. How can we fight this battle?"

Huan Zicheng made Jin Xin feel a little headache. He had to be patient and comforted the deputy in front of him who was like a frightened bird. Although Jin Xin did not like Huan Zicheng, he was his wife's cousin after all. Moreover, now it is different, Jin Xin needs to keep the second-in-command confident. Otherwise, if the generals go out, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos.

"Yang Xian has 50,000 troops, and our army also has 50,000 troops. But Yang Xian is an offensive and our army is a defensive. We already have an advantage. It took Yang Xian less than a day to capture Dankou, but it took ten days to capture our defense line on the periphery. This speed is not fast."

Jin Xin explained that Huanzi gradually calmed down.

When Huan Zicong's three brothers followed Xu Jin to attack Shu, if Xu Jin hadn't stopped him quickly at that time, Huan Zicong would have been the same as his two brothers.

The impression Yang Chun gave him that day was so terrifying. After that, Huan Zi became very afraid of the Shu army.

"What should we do now?"

Although Huanzi has always been good at making trouble, he also knows that at this time, he must obey Jin Xin's words.

"The war report came from General Zhengnan, and the Chu army had been defeated."

"When will Uncle Zhong come here?"

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work in a short time. The Chu army was defeated and the morale of the army was already in chaos, but the main force did not lose much. Cai Tong was collecting the defeated troops and still had the power to fight. General Zhengnan had led his army to chase the Chu army. He would not be honest if he didn't attack back to Xiangcheng. As for Yang Xian, we would not take the initiative to attack and only defend the city surrounding the county town. With the combat power of our army, Yang Xian would not be able to attack in a short time."

After receiving Jin Xin's reply, Huanzi felt relieved and walked out.

Jin Xin was buried in the military case again, and the general of the black army beside him said, "Lord, is it really good for us to put Yang Xian in?"

In fact, it was not just Huan Zicong, but also the generals of the Black Army beside Jin Xin were also fighting and wondering, wondering what direction the war would develop?

"I deliberately cut off the food and grass from the front-line water village and find an opportunity to put the Shu army into the hinterland of Rang County. It was not my idea, but General Zhengnan."

"What?"

The black army generals changed their faces and their eyes were surprised.

"General Zhengnan wants to catch Yang Xian, but Yang Xian is in Dankou. How to catch him?"

The generals present had a glimmer of enlightenment in their eyes. The Shu army was in Dankou, and Yang Xian was invincible regardless of victory or defeat between Liang and Shu.

Even if Huan Zhong can defeat the Chu army, he has no choice but to deal with Yang Xian. If the opponent sees the situation is not good, he will lead the army back.

"But in this way, is the price too high?"

The generals of the Heizai Army looked solemn. They let the Shu army enter Rang County, even if Yang Xian left the turtle shell. However, it was late summer and the crops were about to be harvested. Most of the hinterlands of Rang County were fields, and Huan Zhong did this to give up a large amount of food and grass to the Shu army.

"Without any sweetness, how could Yang Xian take the bait?"

Jin Xin sometimes couldn't understand that Huan Zhong and the older generation of the Huan family had an almost paranoid mentality towards Yang Xian. That's why Huan Zhong did something like crazy using 80,000 Liang troops to fight 150,000 Chu troops.

Even if he won that battle, Jin Xin could not help but sweat behind his back when he thought about it. It would be great to win, but if he lost, it would be equivalent to handing over Nanyang to Cai Tong.

Even Huan Zhong couldn't afford such a big price, but he still did this.

As Huan Zhong's subordinate, even though he knew that this plan was a bit crazy, Jin Xin could not refuse to abide by it. But what he didn't expect was that he had revealed a flaw, but it took Yang Xian ten days to break through the outer defense line.

Yang Xian is really cautious!

"Under Yang Xian's command, in addition to Changce Army, those with strong combat power belong to the Dongzhou soldiers and the Xiliang cavalry. Now the Dongzhou soldiers have appeared, where are the Xiliang cavalry?"

"Such elite should follow Yang Xian."

Although the Xiliang cavalry has strong combat power, the number of people is too small after all, and it is impossible to let them fight independently.

"In other words, where is the Xiliang cavalry, Yang Xian should not be far away."

Before Jin Xin could finish his words, a sound rang outside the house.

"Report to the general, there is important military information."

When Jin Xin pulled out the letter paper from the bamboo tube, looked at the information coming from the front line, his face changed drastically.

"General, what's wrong?"

"Yang Xian is in the Eagle Forest, and there are only eight hundred Xiliang cavalry beside him."

Yinglin is only 30 to 40 miles away from the county town of Rang County. Yang Xian’s behavior is too strange.

"Master, will there be a fraud?"

Jin Xin shook his head and said, "With the strength of the Shu army, only the Xiliang cavalry can reach the Eagle Forest in a short time. This information should not be wrong."

Jin Xin didn't understand what Yang Xian did this? Even if the Xiliang cavalry could travel six or seventy miles a day, there were only eight hundred people. What could they do when they rushed forward like this?

Can cavalry still attack the city? Even if they can attack the city, their troops are not strong enough!

"Select the troops!"

No matter what, Jin Xin decided to lead his troops to meet the Prime Minister of Shu for a while.

"Master, is this too risky?"

"adventure?"

Although Jin Xin was the commander of the Black Army, he was also a young man of twenty-five or six years, and he was at a young age.

"Yang Xian had only eight hundred cavalry and dared to advance to six or seventy miles, and it was almost under our noses. He was not afraid of Yang Xian. I held a 50,000 army in my hand. Are you still afraid in my own territory?"

The generals and officers present knew in their hearts that the Shu army in the back were all moving in a hurry. When Jin Xin led his army to the Eagle Forest, the shortest distance between the Black Army and the Shu army in the back was half a day.
