Liyang County is located in the western part of Jiangnan, which is the area of ​​Ma'anshan in later generations. It has dense water networks and many hills. The Yangtze River flows through Liyang County, dividing Liyang County into two. It is a place where the iron is produced in the Jiangnan area.

A prosperous land of fish and rice.

Liyang County has always been the foundation of Du Fuwei. Du Fuwei has been operating here for many years, and even more than 30% of the soldiers are from Liyang County. A big war broke out in Liyang County again, and this time, it was a matter.

In the battle of future and destiny in the entire Jiangnan, no one can afford to lose.

On one side is the coalition of Xiao Xian and Du Fuwei, with a total of 110,000 troops, and on the other side is Li Mi's 150,000-strong army. Li Mi's army is also divided into two groups, one by Shan Xiongxin, leading 60,000 troops to confront

Du Fuwei's army, and the other side was led by general Wang Bodang, also an army of 60,000, responsible for fighting Xiao Xian's army, while Li Mi personally led 30,000 troops as support and was in charge of Liyang County.

The front line was opened near Shuikou Town, about fifty miles west of Liyang County, but the battle was not fierce. Xiao Du's coalition continued to retreat and refused to join the heavy army to confront the Wei army. They seemed to be luring the Wei army to advance westward.

On a small hill, Shan Xiongxin stood on his horse surrounded by hundreds of personal soldiers. He frowned and looked coldly into the distance.

Shan Xiongxin is nearly forty years old and has entered his forties. He is Li Mi's most trusted confidant and the Wei army's Chapter 1286 arrows she went all the way, while Du Fuwei led 50,000 troops to surround the Wei army from all sides.

Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army held a shield and a long sword in his hand, and shrank and surrounded him step by step with dense arrows.

Wang Bodang's rear general was named Chen Zhi, and he was also a brave general from the Wagang Army. Seeing the enemy's continuous shrinkage and surround, he was anxious. Why didn't Shan Xiongxin's reinforcements come yet? If he delayed for another quarter of an hour, he would be completely defeated by the enemy.

If they surround them, they will be wiped out.

Arrows flew densely in the air, and Du Fuwei's archers also showed their power. Rows of arrows came densely, and Wei soldiers kept screaming and falling to the ground. The soldiers hid behind the baggage, and the positions were in chaos.

At this time, a side general rushed over and shouted loudly: "General, the enemy has reached eighty steps away. If we do not break through, we will wipe out all our troops."

Chen Zhi still did not wait for Shan Xiongxin's reinforcements. The situation was extremely critical. In desperation, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Transfer my order, and the whole army breaks out in the northeast!"

The Wei army finally gave up the position to resist and began to break out in the northwest. Du Fuwei rode on his horse, and shouted at the enemy who rushed over with a sword, shouting loudly: "Encircle shehe!"

The arrows were as dense as rainstorms, and they were facing the Wei army from all directions. The Wei army screamed and fell, while the remaining Wei army rushed to a seemingly weak corner...

But soon, the Wei soldiers fell into despair. Outside the thin army, there were even more dense enemy troops, and the enemy commander was located.

Du Fuwei sneered and shouted loudly: "Those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy!"

The overwhelming Jianghuai army surrounded from all sides, with drums sounding like thunder and shouting and killing sounds shook the sky, surrounding the remaining 7,000 Wei army. The wailings, cryings, begging for mercy sounded throughout the battlefield...

An hour later, when Shan Xiongxin led his army to come, the battle had ended, Du Fuwei's army retreated eastward, and the ground was covered with dead and wounded soldiers. The painful moans of the undead were heard one after another, the blood stained the land red, and the baggage had already been

Burned, thick smoke rolled, and flames were raging.

Shan Xiongxin was so angry that his teeth were clattering. He suddenly inserted the long golden spear into the soil and cursed to the west: "Wang Bodang, you stupid man!"

.........

Liyang County is the capital of Liyang County and is also the center of this Jiangnan Battle. Li Mi's camp of the Western Marshal was located in Liyang County. At this time, Li Mi stood at the head of the county town under the escort of hundreds of guards.

Looking out at the West, my eyes were filled with worry.

This time he fought with Xiao Du's coalition, and he proclaimed himself the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, which means that he was not just a defense, but a large-scale expansion of the border to the west.

On the eve of the Sui army's full attack on the Tang Dynasty, this was Li Mi's last desperate bet. If he succeeded, he could recruit troops up to 400,000, and perhaps he could divide the river with the Sui Dynasty. This was the last hope that Li Mi put in.

Li Mi also considered the Three Kingdoms Triumph, but his Three Kingdoms Triumph was sent to help him, not to help the Tang army. He had no intention of going north to the Central Plains, because he himself retreated from the Central Plains. If he returned to the Central Plains, he would have difficulty.

All efforts to persuade his subordinates to go to Jiangnan will be in vain.

On the other hand, there were also many separatist forces in the south, and he needed to pacify them one by one. The Jiangnan gentry refused to accept him, and he also needed to persuade them one by one. He did not have the strength to send troops to the Central Plains to help the Tang Dynasty remove the Sui army.

The trouble of stress.

Therefore, when the Three Kingdoms became increasingly unrealistic, Li Mi began to consider digging the river and governing it. With the Yangtze River as the boundary, the Sui and Wei confronted each other for decades, and he could also have time to show his ambitions and build a brand new country.

This is Li Mi's long-standing dream, but Li Mi also knows that there are not many time and opportunities to realize his dream. If this Western Expedition fails, he will be in great danger and his dream will be shattered

.

At this time, Fang Xuanzao walked over in a hurry, and there was a faint sense of uneasiness and worry in his eyes, "Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanzao quickly walked to Li Mi and said worriedly: "It seems something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Li Mi looked back at him.

Fang Xuanzao said worriedly: "Your Majesty, there is no news yet for the grain ship that should have arrived at noon today."

This news surprised Li Mi, "How could this happen? Have you sent someone to inquire?"

"Report to your Majesty, the soldiers have gone to inquire, but there is no reply yet."

Li Mi also had a little doubt in his heart. The transportation of military rations and materials is an extremely important matter. There cannot be any mistakes, nor will it be delayed late. Is something wrong?

‘Can it be Xiao Xian’s fleet heading eastward?’

This idea suddenly popped up in Li Mi's mind, but then he denied himself again. They also had fleets deployed on the river. If Xiao Xian's fleet went east, they would get news that it would not be Xiao Xian's fleet.

What's going on?

"His Majesty!"

Fang Xuanzao hesitated and said, "I am a little worried. Is it because we have too few troops left in Jiangyangcang and Jiangdu?"

There are already a lot of troops. Jiangyangcang has deployed 5,000 troops and Jiangdu has deployed 10,000 troops. These troops are enough to deal with normal defense. However, Li Mi felt that Fang Xuanzao seemed to have something to say, so he asked him: "You are

What are you worried about?”

"I am worried about... I am worried about the Sui army." Fang Xuanzao lowered his head. He had already thought of the loophole in defense, which made him start to become scared. It was he who strongly encouraged Li Mi to march westward.

"Sui Army?"

Li Mi frowned, "We Pengcheng County have deployed 20,000 troops. If the Sui army goes south, Chen Zhiluo will defend and inform us in time. Where do you think there will be Sui army?"

"Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of... Sea Road."

"Sea Road!"

Li Mi's face turned pale in an instant.
