The state city of the three counties in the northeast is located in the shape of an arrow, at this time the Eastern Expedition army commanded by Mo Wen has hit the tip of the arrow, the three armies will merge into the east and west, and the last city where the Yan army is located is a mountain city, located in the mountains of eighty miles in the north.
Luzhou and Huzhou are located in a flat area, and before the fall of the state, they were on the horns to assist the northern Xiongzhou to defend against the Yan State, and Xiongzhou was the largest of the three states, and the main city was Xiongzhou.
The cities of Luzhou and Huzhou are smaller and are auxiliary cities of Xiongzhou.
Mo Wen and Puxiong led the West Road and were stationed in Luzhou.
The eastern route was led by Miaoruo and Tulu, and was stationed in Huzhou.
Mo Wen didn't care too much about the prince's replacement of the generals with his own descendants, and it was normal for people to employ cronyism.
What he was worried about at this time was how to fight the last battle.
When the Yan army retreated, he burned Luzhou, where he was currently located, and Huzhou, eighty miles to the east, these two cities were similar to the Qingping City in the north of Xiyang County, both were garrisoned cities without people, and the Yan army burned down the military camps in the city, so that the conditions of the Zhao army's garrison were very bad, and they could only support the camp tents in the city.
The harsh garrison conditions and the broken and low city walls are not the main reasons for Mo Wen's worries, he is worried that he only has 50,000 soldiers, Miao Ruo has 30,000 soldiers, and 10,000 foot bows and cavalry.
He and Pu Xiong commanded 20,000, most of them were infantry without cavalry, and in the half month of garrisoning Luzhou, he repeatedly asked the imperial court to divide half of the 10,000 cavalry commanded by Miao Ruo to be stationed in Luzhou, and the imperial court did make a will, but the cavalry has not been transferred, Miao Ruo has been hindered by his own safety for part of the reason, the main reason is that the 10,000 cavalry that was added later are all Hu people, and the Hu people know that he is very strict in command, and they are unwilling to accept command under him.
"This three-legged situation is the most dangerous, I don't care what method you use, you must transfer five thousand cavalry to me, otherwise we will not be able to rush to each other's aid, and we will not be able to attack the enemy quickly."
Mo asked Yu Shuai in the camp and rushed to the stone to be really angry.
"The cavalry really can't be transferred, and you know the prince's temperament."
Shi Zhen smiled bitterly and shook her head, she has only been back to Yecheng once in the past three years, and her relationship with the emperor is a little estranged, the most important thing is that the prince is becoming more and more arbitrary.
"The Yan army has 100,000 soldiers, and there are 50,000 cavalry alone, if 50,000 cavalry attack Huzhou overnight, how can the dilapidated city walls of Huzhou be able to stop them, and how can I lead the army to help the cavalry must be transferred to me, without cavalry, this battle will undoubtedly be defeated."
Mo Wen said loudly, some of the prince's actions in the late stage of the war made him constrained everywhere, and sent a nun Miaoruo who only knew how to make a commotion, not to mention, but also sent Tulu, who he had always hated, and the prince's actions made Princess Ji very dissatisfied, and the result was that the supply of military food was not timely and often delayed.
Shi Zhen didn't answer when he heard this, but just smiled bitterly.
"I know you have a difficulty, forget about the cavalry, send Hai Dongqing back to the imperial court, let the imperial court transfer five thousand war horses over, arrive within half a month, you must take Xiongzhou before the snowfall, otherwise you will be defeated without a fight, and your previous efforts will be wasted."
Don't ask for the next best thing.
"The Eastern Crusade has lost more than 100,000 soldiers before and after the war, and the horses have also been killed and wounded countless times.
Shi Zhen said.
"If it weren't for the incompetence of Miaoruo and Tulu, how could you have killed and wounded so many soldiers.
Don't talk about him left and right, in a word, I want cavalry" Mo Wen shouted, no one can escape the influence of the environment, these three years of military career made him inevitably tainted with the brave habits of the general.
"Stop the cavalry, ride me."
Shi Zhen said with a smile.
Mo Wen frowned in astonishment when he heard this, at this time night had fallen, and it was time for Shi Zhen to go crazy again.
"Look at the wrinkles on my face."
Shi Zhen came up.
"You're only in your early twenties, where did you get the wrinkles," Mo asked the detective to push Shi Zhen away, and shouted outside the tent, "Xiao Qi'er, call General Pu to come over, I have a military to discuss with you." ” The thirteen-year-old soldier who had been thirteen years old before was already fifteen years old at this time, and when he heard Mo Wen's shout, he agreed, and ran quickly to invite Pu Xiong.
Shi Zhen didn't like the presence of outsiders, so he left the tent before Pu Xiong arrived.
Not long after, Pu Xiong arrived, Chong Mo asked and smiled, "Use me as a shield again" "There's no way, or she'll stay on it."
Mo Wen sat in the handsome seat and reached out to stroke his forehead, Shi Zhen has not given up showing favor to him, and it has become more frequent in recent times, because the war is about to end, and Shi Zhen knows that the day when he will leave is approaching.
"What did we discuss in the afternoon, how did the real people think about it" Puxiong sat down under Mo Wen, and the two fought together, getting along day and night, and their words and deeds were already very casual at this time.
"The 30,000 soldiers and horses on the East Road are their descendants, even if we kill Miaoruo and Tulu, we can't mobilize those 30,000 soldiers."
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"They have made up their minds and are not moving."
Pu Xiong poured tea in a pot and handed it to Mo first.
"They can't wait for our 20,000 people to fight with the 100,000 Yan army in Xiongzhou and that group of strange beasts, and they will sit outside and watch the fire."
Mo Wen's anger in his heart decreased slightly after drinking tea.
"They want to preserve their strength because they want to go north to destroy the Yan Kingdom after we recapture Xiongzhou, it's really a child's mind, if you leave, it's hard to say whether they can hold the north gate or not, and they still want to be delusional."
Pu Xiong smiled disdainfully.
In the past three years that he has followed Mo Wen, he has witnessed the great efforts and hard work that Mo Wen has made, and he has also seen the great changes that Mo Wen has faced in the later stage from receiving awards to facing a run in the later period.
This bird is not finished yet, and the Zhao court is already hiding the bow.
"It has nothing to do with me in the future, I must take this Xiongzhou, and I can withdraw from this matter as soon as this matter is over."
Mo asked.

"In my opinion, simply stick to Luzhou, Yan Jun has a heartfelt fear of real people, naturally he will not come to provoke Luzhou, he will definitely attack Huzhou first, let Miaoruo be defeated, and let her know something."
Pu Xiong was indignant.
"You can't do this, if Huzhou is lost, it will involve the whole body, and it will take a lot of effort to recover the city at that time."
Mo Wen shook his head and said.
"What are the plans of the real person?"
asked Pu Xiong again.
"A month in the morning, forty days in the evening, there will be snow here, the Yan army has a place to live in Xiongzhou City for the winter, Luzhou and Huzhou can not be, heavy snow will collapse the military tent."
Mo Wen put down the teacup and poured the tea from Puxiong, and after drinking the tea, he said again, "The Yan army must also know this, they are very likely to close their doors and delay time, they will consume, we can't afford to consume, the battle must be over within a month, there is only one way to attack." ” Pu Xiong nodded slowly when he heard this, the strong attack that Mo Wen said can only be regarded as the next strategy, but there is no top strategy and middle strategy available, so he can only use the next strategy.
"Tomorrow I will go to observe the situation in Xiongzhou, and when I return, the defenders of Luzhou will pull out the camp and prepare for a decisive battle with the Yan army."
Mo asked.
"Good.
There's nothing I'll go down first, and I'll rest early.
Pu Hung said.
Mo Wen nodded, and Pu Xiong got up to say goodbye.
After Pu Xiong left, Mo Wen returned to the inner camp to lie down and rest, and when he thought that the war was coming to an end and he was finally able to get out, he felt joy and relief in his heart, this burden had weighed on him for three years, and he could be relieved in another month.
In addition to joy, there are also worries, the military rations obtained before were used up last winter, because this year, Princess Ji and others deliberately delayed the military rations, and some were consumed, and there was not much left at this time, which was not enough to support the army to dig Cao Cao's mausoleum, but even if the military rations were sufficient, he had no way to take the army, and in the later stage of the war, the court and the prince guarded him more and more strictly, and he would not be allowed to lead the army to seek personal gain.
Without an army, it is impossible to dig the tomb, so you can only break the mechanisms one by one and enter the tomb.
Fortunately, Xiao Yulan and Huang Yilang are still there, and with their help, the odds of winning are a little bigger.
Ah Jiu has never come back after leaving, he led the army north to fight farther and farther, at this time it is more than 5,000 miles away from the nameless mountain, such a long distance, even if Ah Jiu has the heart to come, she can't just leave, because she still has to take care of the disobedient old five.
As for the external news, it is even more closed, he is located in the northernmost part of Zhao State, the world knows that there is a war here, few people dare to come here, and the news will naturally not be transmitted, and the Zhao court will not take the initiative to tell him what happened outside, since last autumn to now the only news he has received is that Liu Shaoqing was worshiped by Liang Guo as a real person to protect the country.
In the early morning of the next day, in the rain, Mo Wen put on a crane and went out of the north gate, turned north, went to investigate the enemy's situation, and overlooked Xiongzhou on a mound ten miles away from Xiongzhou.
Xiongzhou City is built according to the mountain, the mountain is extended in the shape of a figure-eight, there is a narrow mountain canyon in the north of the city, you can reach the boundary of Yan Country through the canyon, Xiongzhou is built at the throat of this canyon, the left and right are high mountains, this terrain is suitable for the defense of the north and is also suitable for the defense of the south, at this time there are countless beasts hidden in the mountains on the east and west sides, if the Zhao army enters from the south, they will definitely rush out of the mountains to devour people.
And no matter how many men and horses the Zhao army has, they will move closer to the middle when they rush to the nearest place and are limited by the terrain, and the bow and arrow of the Yan army can maximize their power.
There are two vague alien breaths in the city, and the vague breath shows that its path is profound.
Before that, he killed six shaman wizards before and after, and according to the confession of the tree chicken spirit back then, there should be two great wizards on the Yan army's side now.
Two great wizards, countless fierce beasts in the eastern and western mountains, two profound aliens, and 100,000 soldiers.
Compared with the huge lineup of Yan Kingdom, the 50,000 Zhao army is really insignificant.
If it weren't for the fact that he had beaten the Yan army before, the Yan army would definitely not have been bent on defending Xiongzhou.
At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings behind him, and Mo Wen turned around when he heard the sound and found that it was Shi Zhen who came in the rain on Huang Yilang.
"It's dangerous here, you shouldn't come."
Mo Wen glanced at Shi Zhen and turned his gaze back to Xiongzhou City.
"What are you afraid of?"
Shi Zhen smiled and spoke.
Mo Wen didn't answer again, but thought about the strategy of breaking the enemy in his heart, this is the middle of September, the grass and trees in the mountains have begun to turn yellow, and when the weather is dry and dry, you can set fire to the east and west mountains, but it is raining now, and I don't know when there will be a sunny day.
"You go back first, I'll go to Shanbei to find out."
Mo asked, Chong Shizhen said.
"I'll go with you."
Shi Zhen said.
"No, Huang Yilang flew too low."
Mo Wen was about to lift his breath and take off after speaking, but he suddenly found that there was an umbrella cover above his head, turned his head to look right, and saw Shi Zhen holding an oil umbrella to protect him from the rain, and the umbrella cover was mostly above his head.
This seemingly unremarkable scene shocked Mo Wen's heart, and his thoughts instantly returned to that night five years ago, the abandoned old mansion, the poplar tree, and a sentence he once said:
