Chapter 149 East Block West Kill

With the continuous improvement of Jingzhou's overall strength, Lu Qiang's vision is no longer limited to Jiangnan.

The State of Yan and Qin, which are close to the Jin Dynasty, and Yang Sheng, who has been awarded the title of Liangzhou Assassin and Captain Xirong, have gradually come into his sight.

But this is only the beginning, and his main energy is still in the south.

So it was not until the army of the State of Qin went to Nanxiang, Shunyang and Xinye, and the soldiers arrived at Xiangyang City that Tanma sent the news to Jiangling.

Xiangyang is nominally belonging to Jingzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, but because when Lu Qiang was competing for the south of the Yangtze River, Meng Huaiyu, the assassin of Henan, has sent troops to occupy it and incorporate it under the rule of Yuzhou, and Meng Huaiyu is a firm supporter of Liu Yu, so Xiangyang is controlled by Liu Yu.

Since occupying Jing and Jiang, Lu Qiang has not been idle. At the same time, he doesn't want to break up with Liu Yu too early, so he has no idea to fight Xiangyang.

But not thinking about it for the time being doesn't mean giving up there. Xiangyang City has a high wall, connecting the north and the south, and is close to the Xiangjiang River, an important tributary of the Dajiang River. It has developed water transportation and has been a must-have place for soldiers since ancient times.

Although the matter in Shuzhong has not been solved, the Qin army sent troops at this time and obviously had the intention to target Jingzhou, so Lu Qiang had to rush back to Jiangling quickly after appeasing Motuo.

Before her buttocks could sit still, Liu's daughter sent a copy of the latest information from Shuzhong.

"Caizong accepts Yao Xing's canonization, and there is a mysterious figure in the house, and his identity needs to be investigated..."

The spy of Zhifeng can hear so many useful things in such a short time, which shows that it has gradually grown up.

Another dog traitor.

Lu Qiang knew that Yao Xing, the monarch of the State of Qin, had gradually become Sinicized, but he was actually a Qiang. In order to escape the fate of being eliminated, take the initiative to turn to an alien race. What is not a traitor?

This reminds Lu Qiang of Huan Xuanlai again. You should know that the distance between Liangzhou and Qin is much closer than that of Shu. Huan Xuan has never defected to Yao Xing. It seems that this anti-thief will also be divided into three or six!

So it is not difficult to understand that the State of Qin suddenly sent troops.

Now Liu Yu and Liu Yi are in full swing, and the governor of Yuzhou has also led troops into Xuzhou. With Liu Yu's attack on the side, they are unable to return to Xiangyang at all.

Therefore, Xiangyang does not have heavy defense, and once this heavy city falls into the hands of Qin, it is bound to become a sword hanging over Jiangling's head. Whether on water or land, it can launch an attack on Jiangling at any time.

At this time, Lu Qiang thought that he had heard that Murongxi of the State of Yan was going to fight against him, and he didn't know when he would offend these northern monarchs. Why did he have to fight with him?

However, this is not an opportunity. As long as you defeat the Qin army, you can take the opportunity to take back the control of Xiangyang.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiang turned his mind. Since Liu Yu actually controlled the Xiangyang area, how could he be aware of the east direction of the State of Qin? Uh-huh! I guess he doesn't want to see himself sit big, right?

Now He Wuji is still stationed in Yidu County, detering the Qian Mingzi of Baidi City with Jiang Dalong, a water army. In addition, Zhao Lunwen has launched his army in the Hulu Valley area to prevent the Qin army from bypassing Xiangyang and rushing straight to Jiangling.

Lu Qiang gathered Wang Zhenvil, Sima Xiuzhi, Xie Wangzu, Wang Dan and others to discuss the next military action.

The sudden attack of the Qin army made Jiangling a little caught off guard and had to temporarily put down the idea of preparing to enter Shu.

Wang Zhenvil disapproved of entering Shu now, but Xiangyang, which is close at hand, is bound to win and strongly supports sending troops.

"Your Excellency, Xiangyang connects the north and the south, and must be included in the rule. First of all, this is under the rule of Jingzhou. In addition, if we occupy it, we have a stronghold leading to the north, which provides great convenience for us to obtain war horses in the future."

Sima Xiuzhi also nodded and said, "Lord Wang's words are true. According to reports, the Qin army took Yao Chong, Yao Xing's own brother, as the general and led 50,000 horses to the south. Although there are not many people and horses, there are 10,000 cavalry. Xiangyang area is not like Jiangnan, which is more suitable for cavalry fighting, so it is possible to send troops, but you must be cautious."

This is also what Lu Qiang is worried about. He has only less than 3,000 cavalry so far. If he goes up like this, it will be strange if the army is not completely destroyed!

Old Fox Xie is not good at this kind of military matter, but Wang Dan is very resourceful.

He meditated for a moment and said, "Now it has been half a month since I got the news that I returned from Ningzhou. Presumably, even if the Qin army could not beat Xiangyang, they should either retreat or go around the city and kill Jiangling! The subordinates are wondering if Yao Chong is sure that the lord will definitely send troops, so he is waiting for us to send troops?

Lu Qiang is not used to the title of the main princess, but after talking about him a few times, he still went his own way and let Lu Qiang have nothing to do with him.

Although others felt that the lord's name was suspected of slapping the horse, they thought that Lu Qiang was willing to see the barbarian king to save him, so they were relieved.

Wang Dan's words made everyone frown. Jingzhou's people and horses are mainly infantry. Although the soldiers are strong, it is simply a nightmare to encounter cavalry in the plain.

In fact, Lu Qiang knows some methods for infantry against cavalry, such as rifle formation, battle vehicle defense, etc., but the former has too many casualties, and the latter is not flexible, which is not the most ideal method, so he has not spoken.

Seeing that no one spoke, Old Fox Xie suddenly smiled and said, "Yao Chong wants to lure us to take the bait. Why can't we lure him to attack?"

One sentence reminded everyone, yes! We all want to send troops, so why don't we want to lure Yao Chong to take the initiative to come? At that time, it will be impossible to defeat the iron cavalry of the State of Qin with local advantages.

Wang Dan interrupted: "What should Xiangyang do? If Yao Chong refuses to be fooled and just attacks Xiangyang with all his strength, aren't we the same passive?

Lu Qiang smiled and said, "This is not a problem. Xiangyang is close to the Xiangjiang River. As far as the water army is concerned, no one is the opponent of our Jingzhou water army."

After saying that, he got up and took the crowd to the battle room next to him. After ordering the bodyguard to send a bamboo pole, he pointed to the huge sand table and said first.

"To the west of Xiangyang is Jingshan and Xingshan, to the south is the famous Changban slope, and on the other side is the Xiangjiang River. If the Qin army comes to attack, it will obviously not go around the mountain, so this is the most suitable place to set up ambush. At the same time, we can use the navy to attack the city and harass the Qin army by going to Xiangyang.

Wang Zhen was worried and said, "What if the Qin army cut off the river?"

Sima Xiuzhi said: "The surface of the Xiangjiang River is wide, only to the river. The Qin army came from afar, and the navy is not so strong."

Wang Dan said, "Yao Chong is a well-known general. Will he be easily fooled?"

This is also a problem. Yao Chong is the royal brother of the emperor of the State of Qin. According to legend, he is a Confucian general who can write and martial arts. Will he easily get into the ambush circle laid for him by Jiangling?

Everyone's eyes look at Lu Qiang together, and the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. No one dares to guarantee Yao Chong must be fooled, so what to do in the end depends on Lu Qiang's decision.

Lu Qiang meditated for a moment and said, "He will definitely come"

Then Lu Qiang ordered 10,000 small fish stationed in Xunyang to go up the Shuojiang River and go straight to Xiangyang. In addition, He Wuji and Jiang Dalong secretly ordered to capture the White Emperor City.

At the same time, he sent an order to Motuo, gathered barbarians, and received the people of Jingzhou to enter Shu at any time.

Don't you want to be a traitor? I'll let you be more thorough.

This is a military arrangement. In addition, people are ordered to copy hundreds of documents, which count the crimes and make them willing to be the scandal of alien slaves.

In fact, Lu Qiang used to attack the army in Shu was only 20,000 horses of He Wuji and 10,000 sailors of Jiang Dalong, but after Naiji's incident, Motuo could mobilize no less than 100,000 barbarians.

Although these barbarians have no military discipline to speak of, they dare not harm the Han people in Shu under the restraint of Morto.

And on the side of Changbanpo, Lu Qiang is going to fight in person. This is not to say that he can't trust Zhao Lunwen, but this battle is the first time for Jingzhou to fight against a strong army from a neighboring country. How can he rest assured that he doesn't follow him in person? At the same time, this is also an accumulation of experience in his leading battles.

In order to win this battle, Lu stressed that he moved all the forces near Jiangling and gathered 40,000 troops. Although it was not as many as the Qin army, the victory was geographically advantageous.

With the orders of the Assassin Mansion, Jiangling, who had just entered February, moved again.

This time, Lu Qiang returned home and had to go on an expedition after only a few days. He had been working hard for days. He had lost a lot of weight. He saw several girls in the backyard feel distress, but everyone knew that Lu Qiang did not like them to interfere with him, so he could only change his diet every day to supplement Lu Qiang's body.

The army has been secretly assembled and has gone to the front line of Hulugu one after another. Tomorrow, Lu Qiang will also go out with the army. In order to maintain a sufficient spirit, it is rare that he did not approve the official documents today and returned to the backyard early.

After going to Wang Shen'ai's ancestral hall to put incense, he returned to the flower hall. The food had already been arranged and waited for him to come back.

Xie Wushuang, as the future assassin's wife, has not yet gone through the door, but almost grew up in Lu Qiang's house except at night. Xie old fox sighed from time to time that his daughter was born to other families! I just don't know whether his exclamation is true or false?

The four girls are not very old and usually get along very well together.

After inviting Lu Qiang to sit down, Sun Yao first said, "Lord Lu, our sisters have something to ask you to answer, and I hope Lord Lu can come from the truth."

Sun Yao is the only one who dares to speak so strongly.

Lu Qiang rarely brings his emotions back to the backyard. In his imagination, his home is a harbor for relaxation, and several girls did not disappoint him in this regard.

At this moment, he looked completely and said, "Lord Sun, please interrogate him. The subordinate must know everything, say everything, and believe what he says..."

"Ge.."

Chunlan and several girls couldn't help laughing when they saw what Lu Qiang said was interesting.

Sun Yao stared at them and said angrily, "Don't laugh. Well, Lord Lu, please tell me the truth. How did you provoke Murong Xi's beloved concubine?"

Lu Qiang was shocked. Is this all the same as that? Previously, I heard that Murong Xi hated himself, but what does this have to do with Murong Xi's concubine? Besides, there are only a few women he knows. He didn't even have time to look at other women. How can he have anything to do with Murong Xi's concubine?

However, Sun Yao's words also aroused his interest and smiled, "Liu Si's son owes to clean up and say everything, but if he takes Zhongshan one day, I will definitely arrest some of his concubines, hehe! But I'm not interested in other people's women, so I give them to meritorious soldiers."

In fact, Sun Yao and the others also knew that Lu Qiang could not know Murong Xi's woman, but when they heard Liu Si's sneaky talk about Murong Xi's hatred of Lu Qiang because of women, they couldn't help but be curious. Could it be that Lu Qiang was related to some woman when he went out?

A harmless joke made the meal more atmospheric. After the meal, Xie Wushuang played a song for Lu Qiang.

The crisp jingle sound of the piano, like the sound of nature, eased Lu Qiang's tense nerves at all times, leaned against the chair, and fell asleep unconsciously.

This sleep was very sweet, but somehow, Wang Shenai suddenly appeared in his dream. Although he didn't say anything, his resentful eyes directly melted Lu Qiang's steel will...
