    When Tu Wanxu, who was besieging Jishan, received the report of the attack on Maopu, he almost fainted. Such bad news was almost a disaster for me.  Almost half a year's worth of military rations had been stored in Maopu Port, and now they were all looted by pirates. What should he do next?  In this chaos in Jiangnan, no food can be collected and distributed at all, and Huang Mingxiang, the transshipment envoy to Jiangnan, has made it clear that there is no way to provide support to them. Do they want to fight hungry?

    Twist is thoughtful, and his heart is as messy, but he knows that this battle cannot be played again.  If we continue to fight, not only will we not be able to win, but our army may be in danger of being annihilated.

    After repeatedly asking the messenger, Tu Wanxu finally figured out what happened in Maopu, but what puzzled him even more was where did such a force come from that could break through Maopu Port.  That's their hinterland.

    Of course, at this time, there is no room for thinking about which force the pirates are. There are too many water thieves and bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. Although their group appears suddenly, it is not impossible.  And the most important thing for Tu Wanxu is how to get food again.

    After Yujuluo knew the news, he persuaded Tu Wanxu to retreat.  They are now going deep alone, and there are enemies everywhere. If they can no longer deliver food and grass, they will be in a desperate situation.

    Tu Wanxu thought about it for a while, but finally didn¡¯t agree.

    Faced with Yu Juluo's puzzlement, Tu Wanxu handed a letter to Yu Juluo and said helplessly: "Julu (the character of Yu Juluo, its name is not handed down from generation to generation, it is written in characters), this is  The emperor's letter, which was rushed six hundred miles away yesterday, still urges me to bring peace to the Jiangnan bandits as soon as possible. If I propose withdrawing my troops at this time, what will the emperor think?"

    Yu Juluo also knew that the emperor was urging him very much these days, but he still said: "General, the general will not accept your orders. The emperor does not know what is going on in Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is in such chaos, we can never underestimate the enemy.  Take risks."

    Tu Wanxu shook his head and said helplessly: "I also know that I can't take risks, but the question is, does the emperor believe it? Who allowed your good apprentice to put down the Jiangnan rebellion in more than a month?"

    With Huang Mingyuan¡¯s old story, Yang Guang ordered, I don¡¯t ask you to defeat the enemy in one month, then three months should be enough. If you can¡¯t defeat the enemy in three months, then half a year should be enough.

    A veteran like Tu Wanxu also needs face. You can't say that he is not even one-sixth as good as Huang Mingyuan.  Of course, Yang Guang didn't believe that Tu Wanxu really sacrificed his old face to beg the emperor.  Huang Mingyuan can calm the chaos in a month, but you can't calm it down in half a year. Either you can't calm it down or you don't want to calm it down.

    At this time, Yu Juluo was also in trouble.

    Tu Wanxu slapped the table and said solemnly: "Since things have reached this point and we have no way out, I will break Jishan within this month and kill Liu Yuanjin."

    Tu Wanxu is ready for a decisive battle with the opponent.

    Yu Juluo is not optimistic about Tu Wanxu's decisive battle plan.  He had followed Yang Su to quell chaos in Jiangnan twenty years ago. He knew better than Tu Wanxu what the habits of the people in Jiangnan were.

    Yu Juluo is not worried about whether Tu Wanxu can break Jishan.  Until now, he had not paid much attention to the little Liu Yuanjin.  He was worried that even if Liu Yuanjin, Zhang Yuanjin, and Li Yuanjin were eliminated, the war would become endless.

    The world is in chaos and the roads are cut off.  But Yujuluo was worried that he didn't know when he could return to Luoyang.  He was worried about his sons again, so he was going to send people to Luoyang to pick up his sons and have them look after him.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    Although Liu Yuanjin was vomiting all his thoughts to advance, he was not ready to retreat.

    On that day, Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie met in Yixing County, and Liu Yuanjin returned to power and had the final say on military and political affairs.  Hearing that Tu Wanxu was coming from Jinling to kill Yixing, Zhu Xie advised Liu Yuanjin to continue retreating and exchange space for time.

    But at this time Liu Yuanjin was not ready to withdraw anymore.

    Not far south from Yixing County, we arrived at Yuhang County. I thought that he had carried the expectations of the people of Yuhang and headed north in high spirits, vowing to stabilize the south of the Yangtze River. However, only a few months later, he was defeated like a mountain.  He didn't have the shame to go back to Yuhang in despair and embarrass himself in front of the villagers.

    Liu Yuanjin did not fight this battle just for the sake of face, especially since his younger brother Liu Yuanan sent more than 10,000 people from Yuhang, all of them young and strong, which gave Liu Yuanjin some confidence.

    Liu Yuanjin planned to take this opportunity to fight the Sui army again.  After all, prestige is something that can only be achieved through fighting. He knew that Zhu Xie, Lu Kai and others' allegiance at this time was just due to circumstances and not out of their true intentions. If he wanted to completely subdue them, he had to win this battle.

    Among the people, the dog-headed strategist Zhuge Yin was the one who understood Liu Yuanjin¡¯s thoughts best. At this time, he said to everyone: "When our army started the uprising, everything responded to our call, and all the people in the south of the Yangtze River followed us."They wanted to follow us to drive away Beikang's bullying, but today we heard that Beikang's soldiers fled in the face of the wind, so how could we get the support of the people of Jiangnan.  If we escape today, our army will be completely devastated and will be forgotten even without fighting.  "

    "That's right, let's fight these Beiqin!"

    "Fight with these Beiqin!"

    Suddenly, the crowd was excited.

    Zhu Xie thought about it for a while, but he agreed with Liu Yuanjin's intention.  In addition to what Zhuge Yin said, Zhu Xie always believed that previous defeats were due to insufficient preparation and failure to fully utilize the strength at hand, and were not a crime of war.  Tu Wanxu had less than 50,000 troops in total, and excluding the navy, he still had nearly 40,000 troops.  This time going south, we have to fight, and we have to appease the local area. Plus the casualties, we can have up to 30,000 troops at this time, maybe not that many.  If they had a real fight with the Sui army, they might not be defeated.

    Although Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie suffered defeat after defeat, they did not actually hurt their old foundation.

    And if they win this battle, they can take advantage of the situation to counterattack Piling County.  Zhu Xie didn't want to go to Yuhang to live under someone else's roof. After all, other people's homes were not as good as his own.

    For this battle, Liu Yuanjin gathered 50,000 troops, half of whom were elites from both sides.  In order to win this battle, both Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie brought out their old skills.

    Yixing City was in dilapidated condition and could not be defended, so Liu Yuanjin deployed his troops in Jishan, northeast of Yixing City (25 miles northeast of present-day Yixing City, Jiangsu Province).  They also used Yixing City as their base camp and as a place to store grain.

    Although Jishan is not high, as the remnant of Fuyushan (today's Mushan), the terrain is rugged and there are many mountains. It is an excellent place for defense.  Moreover, Jishan overlooks Taihu Lake to the east and guards the main route to the south. It is a battleground for military strategists.

    The Vietnamese army set up their positions here and waited for the Sui army to arrive.

    As the former enemy commander, Lu Kai dug several trenches at the foot of the mountain to block the enemy.  Depending on the terrain, three lines of defense were set up on the mountainside, and a group of archers were set up behind each line of defense as support.

    Jishan is backed by Yixing City, and there is no shortage of water and supplies on the mountain.  Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie made up their minds to hold on and die here.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
