When the willow tree sprouted tender green buds, Ehou Yufang led more than 100,000 elite troops from the country to rumble to the other side of Taoshui, forming a water-to-water confrontation with the hundreds of thousands of troops in Yingyuan.

In the shogunate tent, a group of generals were eager to fight. The soldiers were in a clear mood. One was eager to seek merit, and on the other hand, they were also worried that things would change for a long time. Although there was no movement in the Eighth Division of Chengzhou at present, if they really went south to help the French, the Hubei army would be killed by the enemy. If the Chu State in the south took the opportunity to seize the old nest in Hubei, the Hubei State would be in danger of overthrowing the country.

But no matter how passionate the soldiers asked for battle, E Yufang always frowned and pondered without answering, and was reluctant to take the initiative to write down the battle letter. Since then, he has explored the horses and flew into the Hubei military shogunate continuously.

The wife of the Grandma Ying, who went to her mother's family and son-in-law, to borrow 30,000 troops and horses. She was marching on the way to the Taoshui battlefield, but she didn't know where to help. Fan Zizhen did not dare to live in Fancheng, and took his favorite concubine and his close minister to Taoshui Palace to "hunting"; Yingyuan simply placed food, grass and supplies in Taoshui Palace, and had heavy troops to guard it, etc.

The most amazing news is: it is rumored that Mrs. Ying was white-haired overnight and still led the Ying clan and the common people who sympathized with her in the city to Ying State to borrow troops. The soldiers and horses were all dressed in white and the guards were all swordsmen and elite palace soldiers in the country.

"This is a sorrowful soldier, and the father was very careful. He just didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend." Prince E deliberately reminded his father.

"The Grandma just wants to avenge her beloved son's personal grudge, why do you have the intention to survive and perish in a foreign country? You are all worried." E Yufang said indifferently.

On the left bank of Taoshui, Yingyuan is also preparing for war.

It was probably known that E Hou was coming here with the ambition to destroy the country. Fan Zhen, who had always known the beauty of the bed, could not sit still, so he came to Taoshui Camp in person to inquire about the preparations for the army.

After drinking a big bowl of old wine together, Yingyuan walked to the large map board of the side wall, pointed at the map board with a long sword and said: "Currently, our army faces Taoshui and is divided into three major camps and stationed: the main camp of the West Road, stationed in the mountains west of Taoshui; the middle road, stationed in the open area south of Fangcheng; the east road, stationed in the mountains northeast of Taoshui. There are 30,000 chariots and 100,000 infantry and cavalry mixed together. This is the current trend of our army!"

"In the opinion of the general, how to fight this battle?" Fan Zhen asked urgently.

"If the Hubei army wants to destroy the foreign countries, it must cross Taoshui and then lead its troops north. With a plan, if the Hubei army crosses Taoshui to attack us, our army can take advantage of the opportunity of half the crossing and launch a fierce attack from the northwest and east directions! With the military strategy, our army will undoubtedly win!"

"The forces of the French and Hubei armies are almost the same, how can they join forces to attack?"

"The king only knows one, not the other." Yingyuan smiled with a demeanor: "Although the military strategy is said, if it is ten, it will surround it, and if it is twice as many, it will attack it. However, it should be judged by the situation. The battlefield is impermanent. Although our foreign army and the Hubei army have the same military strength, the mountains and rivers are very beneficial to our army and very unfavorable to the Hubei army. This is why I can encircle the Qin army with equal forces!"

"It's amazing! The general is well versed in the way of being strange and righteous!" The young master beside him slapped the table and exclaimed.

"But------" Fan Zhen still felt worried: "I heard that E Hou Yu Fang was a war-going king, famous in Jianghan. What kind of geographical advantage can hardly get him?"

Yingyuan continued to give instructions: "Your Majesty, look at the Taoshui comes from northwest to southeast, and the Shishui comes from west to east. The two waters are sandwiched into a large horn about a hundred miles away. When the Hubei army is here, it is necessary to cross the Taoshui River to threaten Fancheng. Our army only needs to block the throat in this mountainous land, and three large armies attack at the same time. The Hubei army is backing on the two waters and has no way to retreat, and can only be attacked by our army on three sides! In this situation, wouldn't it be a siege and attack?"

"It's so good. I hope God will protect you and save my country and country!" Finally, Fan Zhen agreed.

He respectfully sent Fan Zizhen away, but Yingyuan left the young master surrounded him alone, and the two of them secretly discussed until the twilight came.

When the young master saw Ying Yuan's face turned gloomy, he knew that the situation was not as optimistic as he had just said in front of Fan Zhen, he asked in detail: "General, what is the situation in the army?"

"Oh!" Ying Yuan shook his head, looking worried: "We all underestimated Mrs. Ying too much for the matter of Young Master Yan. This woman is not simple. Not only did she borrow 30,000 troops from Ying State, she also organized a team to harass our army's baggage transportation. Now, the supply of food and grass in the army has been affected. If the war is delayed, it will be greatly detrimental to morale."

"In this way, the general can only issue a letter of war to the E camp as soon as possible, the faster the better!" The young master was also anxious.

"The war letter has been prepared, and the emperor has just stamped it. I will send a special envoy to the other side tomorrow morning." Yingyuan looked up at the young master: "I will keep you there because I want to entrust the defense of Taoshui Palace to you. I will allocate 20,000 heavy armored sharp men to you, and I may defend it?"

The young master surrounded him and said: "When this country is in danger of survival, he will fight to survive. Why do he think?"

"Okay!" Yingyuan suddenly stood up, took off the wine bag from the tent hook, bowed deeply to the young master, raised his head and drank heavily, his hands trembling, and the wine sprayed all over his neck and clothes.

After he finished drinking, the young master bowed deeply, rolled his wine bag in one fell swoop, and a stream of clear and white milk wine was poured into his abdomen accurately. He sucked it dry like a long whale drinking river in one breath, without spilling a drop of wine, which was surprisingly clean and neat.

After drinking, the young master suddenly came to his desk and cried out loudly: "God! Why did my country fall into such a state? Is it really my country's mistake?" ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Yingyuan looked at him and felt mixed feelings: If it weren't for not being able to send people out in the camp, he wouldn't have delivered the food, supplies and supplies to such a young man. He was lured by beauty for a while, got on a pirate ship, and did irreversible things. Now he had to give up and go all the way to the dark!

The next morning, the special envoy of the foreign camp arrived at the Hubei Army Shogunate on the other side by boat.

Fan Zhen's war book was very excited, and the generals of the E army were numb when they heard it. They wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh. They could only stand like a black iron pillar. There was only one reason. E Hou Yufang had no expression at all, and he had a stern face and eyes as if he was nailed in front of the commander's case. After the envoy finished reciting the war book, E Yufang said lightly to Sima, the Central Army standing beside him: "Reply to the letter, and the battle will take place in three days."

The special envoy said loudly: "Dare you ask E Hou, when will it be? Where is the battlefield?"

Unexpectedly, E Yufang got up and left. The envoy was about to step forward and asked. Prince E suddenly took a step forward and stopped him in front of him, "Go back and report Fan Zhen and Yingyuan. Do you really think this is the war between the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? You fight yours, I fight mine, and fight wherever you want! Whenever you want, fight!"
