Outside the first line of defense...

The army of the Southern Chu court led by Shi La has been holding on for more than a month.

The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, but in fact, the Northern Zhou court army has been slowly advancing.

More and more soldiers from Northern Zhou crossed the river and were stationed on the south bank.

The weather is clear. Standing on the city wall and looking at the river, you can clearly see ships carrying soldiers and logistics supplies coming towards the south bank.

Shi La sighed.

"The Northern Zhou navy was too powerful and completely blocked the water surface."

Even though several sneak attacks on the water were all returned in defeat.

On the river surface, the navy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the overlord, and they were parading back and forth so that the army of the Southern Chu could not be put on the windsurfing.

This is dominance!

Shi La had no choice.

Even if we collect a large number of fishermen who are familiar with water, they are a group of scattered soldiers and have not fought seriously, and they have no chance of winning against the long-term training of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

This is a frustrating fact.

Shi La planned to withdraw his troops.

If this situation continues, stick to it for at most half a month.

At that time, even if he doesn't want to withdraw, he will have to choose to withdraw.

This retreat, all the way to Jianzhou City, is really frustrating.

But he had other ideas.

He wanted to bypass Jianzhou City, but he didn't want to retreat to Jianzhou City to defend him.

More than half of the troops in Nan Chu were in his hands, and he could use his military strength to do something.

For example, another base is opened.

He groped gently at the city wall, and all kinds of thoughts were rolling.

"Your Highness..."

The personal soldiers hurriedly ran up the city wall.

"Another decree has been issued in Jianzhou City, asking Your Highness to continue to stick to it, at least for another month."

"One month?"

hehe!

Shi La smiled coldly, "I understand, please step back!"

"promise!"

The strategist was accompanying him, "I wonder if your highness has made up his mind?"

Shi La did not answer the question, "Sir, teach me Your Highness, should I act according to the will, or should I do what I am doing."

The strategist said without any hesitation, "The general will not accept the orders of military orders outside the country. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. How can we act according to the will? The saint issued the will, and the information will inevitably be lagging behind. I think that if you should make a decision, you should make a decision, and don't regret it later."

Shi La nodded, this statement made sense.

He already had an idea in his mind.

A few days later...

The army of the Southern Chu court began to retreat in batches and retreat to the second line of defense.

It was two days later when the Northern Zhou army discovered that something was wrong.

Xiao Yi decisively ordered an attack and took down the frontier fortress. Sure enough, the military camp was empty long ago, and Shi La led the large army to retreat.

"It's a pity that I haven't taken Shi La."

All the generals looked unwilling.

Shi La is Shi Wen's eldest son and the Grand Marshal of the Southern Chu Army.

Taking down Shi La is of great significance.

It will definitely disrupt the morale of the troops and horses of the Southern Chu army and cut off the stones and warm the arms.

Next, it is just around the corner to capture the entire Nanchu Kingdom.

What a pity!

Shi La, a bastard, runs faster than anyone else.

Under the escort of his own soldiers, Xiao Yi officially set foot on the Nanchu Kingdom.

At this moment, he was trendy and wanted to write a poem.

So...

He instructed his son Xiao Yuanchu: "I will write an impromptu poem with this moment and this scene."

Xiao Yuanchu's mouth twitched.

My father couldn't write poems, so he handed over this difficult task to him, and he was just a topic to write an essay. Should he be so excessive?

Xiao Yi glared, "I have read so many books, but I can't even write poems and lyrics. Your mother also praised you for your good literary talent. When will I listen to you write a poem with my own ears?"

Xiao Yuanchu looked desperate.

However, he still took out an impromptu poem, and the topic was about half of his blood and half of his arms cheering.

On one hand, there is the cruelty of war, and on the other hand, there is the joy of victory.

Even the logistics auxiliary soldiers who cleaned the battlefield smiled at this moment, which was an extremely rare scene.

Victory is so valuable.

Even if you face sacrifice and heavy price, as long as you win in the end, everything is worth it.

"Hahaha……"

Xiao Yi laughed loudly and was full of energy.

He patted Xiao Yuanchu on the shoulder, "Not bad, not bad! He deserves to be my son."

He climbed the city tower and looked out into the river, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a Feng Shui treasure land! Shi La actually gave up such a good place easily. I knew that Shi La was good at running away and liked to preserve his strength. I didn't expect that he would also play this game in Yuzhou."

"Isn't it good?" Xiao Yuanchu asked.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It has both advantages and disadvantages when he does this. The advantages are obvious. The army can speed up the war. The disadvantage is that Shi La preserves his strength and it will be even more difficult to completely wipe out him.

If he detours behind us and ambush the problem will be great. After all, this place is his territory, and he is more familiar with the grass and trees here than anyone else."

"My father is worried that it will be detrimental to us if the front line is too long."

Xiao Yi nodded. He did have this concern.

His idea was to not rush to Jianzhou for now.

First, completely lay down the Yuzhou, strengthen the foundation, and then lead troops south to Jianzhou.

otherwise……

Just focus on driving straight in, regardless of wing defense, and lengthening the front line will definitely give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

If the food and grass are cut off by Shi La, the army will be in danger.

He cannot underestimate Shi La. Shi La is good at preserving his strength and fighting head-on, and can be said to be evenly matched.

He simply stationed in the first line of defense built by Nanchu, and the army dispatched to sweep around, and cleaned up the surrounding environment first.

He wrote to Yan Yunge and told his thoughts.

After careful consideration, Yan Yunge decided to fully support his idea. At the same time, he sent civil servants south to Yuzhou to cooperate with the army to capture the entire Yuzhou government, count the population and land, and naturalize Yuzhou as soon as possible.

As long as the entire territory of Yuzhou is under the control of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou troops will move south without any worries.

This naturally slowed down the war.

Yan Shouzhan was quite dissatisfied.

"Even if Xiao Yi is a turtle climbing, he should have climbed to Jianzhou City. He was fine, but he actually stopped in Yuzhou and did not move. It was done by civil servants in naturalization in Yuzhou. As a military general, he should have been committed to fighting and taking Shi Wen's Xiang head as soon as possible."

Mr. Du couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty said that if you enter Jianzhou City, Shi Wen must be left with one life. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor cannot take Shi Wen's head on his neck."

"I know, I know. I just said casually, and I didn't have to take Shi Wen's head."

hehe……

Mr. Du doesn't believe it.

The Supreme Emperor can hide his words from others, and he is the counselor who is with him day and night.

He had already seen that the Supreme Emperor had a desire to kill Shi Wen.

Whether you can lead troops is secondly. The key is to ensure that you are the first to enter the Dazheng Palace in Jianzhou City. Before everyone can react, they will kill Shi Wen first.
