Next to the river, Huan Zhong rushed towards the water source. After experiencing a tense escape, he never felt that even this ordinary river water became sweet.

The 50,000 Liang troops who were following him were dispersed during the escape, but there were only more than 30,000 people following him.

"General, what should we do now?"

The Chu army chased after him, intending to be Huan Zhong's head. Huan Zhong washed his face with the water in the river and restored his slightestness.

"Go back to Wancheng. As long as Wancheng is here, we will not lose."

Huan Zhong's eyes shone. There were mountains of military rations and military supplies in Wancheng, and there were 50,000 Liang troops in Rang County. As long as he could return to Wancheng, Huan Zhong would be able to regain his position. At worst, he would give up Rang County and let Jin Xin lead his army to withdraw. As long as he could defend Wancheng, the Liang army would still have the power to fight.

The closest Liang army stronghold to retreat from Leihe was Qingyang County. However, it was meaningless to go to Qingyang County at this moment. The Chu army was behind him, and Cai Tong's thoughts about Wancheng were not a day or two.

"Walk!"

Huan Zhong no longer hesitated, and the military situation was like fire. He could no longer control much at this moment. Although his body was already very weak and almost began to lose weight, Huan Zhong still bit his breath and wanted to march as soon as possible.

The journey is difficult to walk, and when I came, I was very eager to fight. The journey of hundreds of miles seemed to pass in a flash. When I returned, I was defeated like a mountain, and there was no military food. I was hungry and cold. Every step I took

"General, the city of Huyang County is ahead. We can rest for a while when we get there."

The deputy general looked at the outline of the county town ahead, and his dry eyes were wet with tears. He wandered on the edge of life and death, and was worried every day.

Huyang County is a transportation hub, with Wancheng to the north and Shenxiao Sect’s territory to the east. As long as you enter Huyang County, Huan Zhong and others can breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Hu Yang City looking at him, he could reach it as long as he climbed over the last hill. In just a moment, the flags that lit up behind the hillside made all Liang soldiers turn the light of hope in their eyes into despair.

Han Bufu stood on the top of the hill from behind the slope, followed by 10,000 Dongzhou soldiers.

The soldiers of the Dongzhou army were not as good as soldiers in the ordinary army. They did not wear armor and only had a small amount of logistics demand. They marched quickly and had no bows, arrows and javelins, but they could conduct long-range combat and had very strong combat power.

Han Bufu's eyes were stumbled among the Liang army, and finally fell under Huan Zhong's flag and shouted loudly.

"Our army is ordered by the Prime Minister to station here, where is Huan Zhong?"

No one could have thought about why so many Dongzhou soldiers suddenly appeared in this Liang army's march? And Huan Zhong had a more terrifying idea in his mind.

The Shu army can get here, which means that Yang Xian has broken through the defense line of Rang County, which is simply impossible.

Huan Zhong didn't believe that Yang Xian's 50,000 Shu army could solve the 50,000 Liang army in Rang County in such a short time. What's more, there were Jin Xin's 30,000 Black Army.

Yang Xian used the lives of soldiers to grind them one by one, and at this time he could not climb up the city walls of Rang County.

As soon as he thought of this, the terrible thought in Huan Zhong's heart turned into a long sound and let go with a loud bang.

"Where is Jin Xin?"

"General Jin Xin and 30,000 Black Army soldiers obeyed the righteousness and had already surrendered to our army." Han Bufu looked at the general under the big flag and his tone increased to three points. "Huan Zhong, you are not the opponent of my prime minister. The Prime Minister misses you old, so he should retreat quickly to avoid making mistakes!"

"Yang Xian, I hate me!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Huan Zhong's mouth, and Huan Zhong finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell into a coma.

"General, General!"

Qingyang County.

The Liang flag at the top of the city fell down and replaced it with the Chu army's flag.

Cai Tong stood on the city wall of Qingyang County, looking at the farmland and houses in the distance and the roads, and felt no comfort in his heart.

In Nanyang County, Qingyang County is the largest city second only to Wancheng, Xiangcheng and Rang County. Since Jin Xiu surrendered to Huanwu and the Liang army invaded Nanyang in large numbers, Qingyang County was lost from Cai Tong.

It has been five or six years, and Cai Tong has not stood on the wall of Qingyang County like this, looking into the distant scenery.

Qingyang County has indeed changed. Huan Wu has not seemed idle in recent years, and has vigorously rectified the administration of Nanyang and rectified the internal affairs. In Cai Tong's impression, outside Qingyang County, the places that should have belonged to the deserted hills have now become large fertile fields.

"Mr. Marquis, it's not good!"

Wen Qing and several generals hurriedly caught up with the city wall. Now that Qingyang City was captured by the Chu army, the intelligence channels ahead have been opened.

"What's going on?"

The long-lost Ning Jing was broken, but Cai Tong had no anger on his face. Wen Qing has always been steady, and Cai Tong really didn't know what could make him so panic.

"We learned from the captured Liang army prisoners that Jin Xin from Rang County had defected to Yang Xian. With the help of Jin Xin and the 30,000 Black Army, the entire northern part of Nanyang is now under Yang Xian's control."

"What?"

In just a moment, the doubts flashed across Cai Tong's face, struggle, unwillingness, and finally, all kinds of emotions turned into a long laugh.

"What a Yang Zizhan! I and Huan Zhong were killed in blood, and both sides were injured. He did not take any effort to get the fisherman's benefits."

There was another sentence Cai Tong didn't say, and he wouldn't say it in front of Wen Qing and others.

Yang Xian's annoying appearance is exactly the same as Yang You'an.

Same hateful! Same...

"hateful!"

Cai Tong cursed angrily, slapped the city wall with his palm, shattering half of the wall.

"Marty, what should we do now? I can't swallow this."

The Chu general who followed Wen Qing said angrily, and then there was a slight echo.

"We fought with Liang's army and killed before we captured the Qingyang County. But Yang Xian took all the advantage."

The Chu army and Yang Xian had old grudges, but Yang Xian broke into Qingshui County that day and surrendered Fan Qing's old subordinates. Later, he openly appeared in Wuning County with the Shu army and fought against the Chu army, which simply didn't take them seriously.

Seeing Huan Zhong’s defeat, they could capture Wancheng as long as they took advantage of the victory. Who knew that at this time, Yang Xian had already sat in Wancheng, looking at them with a smile, as if they were just watching a show.

"Wenqing, what do you think?"

Cai Tong ignored the angry generals and instead focused his attention on Wen Qing. As a general of Chu, he had a great influence among the generals.

Cai Tong naturally knew that he had no choice but to deal with Yang Xian at this time. He fought with Huan Zhong for several battles, and the Chu army had 120,000 or 30,000 left, but they were all long-term troops and needed rest. However, Yang Xian was raising his energy and waiting for labor.

"The last general thinks that our army should not fight against the Shu army at this time. The lord can send a letter to congratulate Yang Xian and test the movements of the Shu army at the same time."

However, as soon as Wen Qing finished speaking, smoke and dust rose from the official road in the distance.

Cai Tong narrowed his eyes, looked at the team of Shu cavalry, and snorted coldly.
