Hu Zhen felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Who is Wei Zhao? I joined the gang when General Tianbu Jianjun (Wang Xianzhi) was still there, so it’s your turn to teach me how to do things?

However, it still said: "Although Ge Congzhou is still young and has not led a large army alone, he is still capable. He will definitely not let the Xia bandit army break into Ruzhou. Besides, the Xia bandit army does not have many troops."

"That's good." Wei Zhao then found a chair and sat down, sighing: "The battle in the east was not going very well. Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin somehow changed their temper and stopped fighting. The army was making slow progress.

, we just surrounded Puzhou half a month ago, I don’t know how long it will take.”

Puzhou is a state city, and the city spans about ten miles. If the defenders are well prepared and the soldiers are willing to fight, it will not be easy to capture it.

The Bian Army established a Shengsheng Capture Army, which originally only had a few hundred horses. At the end of last year, they bought a lot of horses from Wang Rong. They returned to Bianzhou via Weibo and recruited Huaiyi into the army, expanding it to 2,000, specifically for plundering.

Population, money and food.

This is the only harvest this time.

You are not a Xia thief! You rob people from Henan, I will rob people from Puzhou and Xuzhou.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the Xia bandits' offensive will not last long." Hu Zhen ordered his servants to serve tea and said: "The general is attacking Puzhou and transporting grain to the city through rivers, while the Xia bandits still need to be transported by land from Shaanzhou.

If they fight for more than a month, the Xia bandits will have to retreat. At that time, the king of Dongping County has captured Puzhou, and the main force will march westward, transporting troops and food along the Luo River. They will first capture Huguo Village and all the 30,000 Xia bandits.

In the pocket."

Of course, both Hu and Wei knew that it was not easy to do this.

The summer thief is very clever and can run faster than a rabbit. Once the Xiaoshan camp feels the pressure, he will probably leave. It doesn't matter if you chase him or not, it will be a headache.

"We are fighting on both sides this year. We have consumed a lot of goods, money and food, and a lot of pensions." Wei Zhao sighed: "General Ding has more than 20,000 people stationed in Suzhou. Zhang Can, the governor of Haozhou in Xu Town, wants to surrender, but he has not yet surrendered.

The governor of Sizhou, Zhang Jian, wanted to surrender, but recently he suddenly lost his voice, which is strange."

It is indeed not easy to fight on several fronts with tight troops.

On the eastern front, King Dongping led more than 40,000 troops to attack Yuncheng. There was no problem in the field battle, but if Zhu Xuan made a slip in the battle, it would not be possible to pacify it in a short time.

Ding Hui had more than 20,000 troops, plus thousands of troops from Xu Zhen, stationed in Suzhou.

To the south are the two states of Hao and Shou. Sun Ru's old tribe in Shouzhou surrendered last year. Haozhou should also be able to surrender this year. However, if Sizhou does not surrender, it will not be able to connect with Chuzhou, the enclave to the east.

It's not beautiful.

I heard that Yang Xingmi had captured and killed Sun Ru and surrendered his tribe. There were many Confucian soldiers from Cai. Xingmi selected 5,000 of the brave and strong men and gave them generous rewards. They wore soap clothes and armor and were named "Heiyun Changjiandu".

Elite.

If they wait until they have sorted out the mess in the south of the Yangtze River before moving into the north of the Yangtze River, the pressure on the southern front will increase again.

Perhaps, it's time to send someone to contact Du Hong and Qian Liu.
