After Sun Hao plundered the wealth accumulated by the Hao family in Fude County for nearly a hundred years, he did not cause any more trouble.

The 400,000 Zhenxi Army then passed through Daizhou and Suzhou in the Central Plains, and entered Leizhou in the southeastern region on July 5, 392 of the Daliang calendar.

At this time, the southern gate of Fengyuan City, the capital of Leizhou Prefecture, Yongqing City, the county seat of Changlu County in Leizhou, had been captured by the army of Northern Jin.

However, due to the Liang army's perseverance, the Northern Jin army paid a heavy price to capture Yongqing City, losing nearly 220,000 people.

In addition, because the 120,000 troops of Pizhou of Liang State and the 40,000 troops of Huaizhou had already arrived at Fengyuan City, the capital of Leizhou, the army of Northern Jin State did not rush to attack Fengyuan City as planned after capturing Yongqing City.

Guan Qizhong, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Jin army's northern expedition, immediately began to dispatch the Northern Jin army from the other five routes to assemble towards Yongqing City, preparing to concentrate his forces to destroy the main force of the Liang army in Fengyuan City.

As long as the Liang army in Fengyuan City is destroyed, the Northern Jin army's combat goal of capturing Liang's Leizhou, Xinzhou and Chizhou should be achieved quickly.

When King Yong'an Chen Su learned that the other five armies of the Northern Jin State were heading towards Yongqing City, he was no longer in a hurry to recapture Yongqing City, and began to order the Liang army stationed in various places in the southeast to gather in the direction of Fengyuan City.

After nearly a year of tug-of-war, both the Northern Jin Army and the Liang Army were ready to engage in a decisive battle with each other to decide the outcome of the war.

To be honest, both sides can no longer afford to drag things out, mainly because the armies have been fighting for nearly a year and have consumed countless money and food. If the time is delayed any longer, the finances of Northern Jin and Liang will collapse.

"My lord, this is the intelligence just delivered by the Seven Flag Guards.

At present, the Northern Jin army has gathered about one million troops in Yongqing City, and Prince Yong'an has gathered about 600,000 troops in Fengyuan City.

If our Zhenxi Army rushes over, the two sides will be almost evenly matched in terms of military strength."

Liu Bowen said this and handed a piece of paper to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao took it and looked at it. It detailed the composition of the 600,000 Liang troops in Fengyuan City.

In addition to the left and right guards of Ganyang Army, the south guard and vanguard of Huaide Army, the left guard of Shaochang Army, the 40,000 Pizhou wing troops, and the 20,000 Huaizhou wing troops.

There are also the imperial guards of Guangwu Town, Xingwu Town, Yingwu Town, Zhenwu Town, Jingwu Town, Chaowu Town, and Xiaowu Town, totaling the remaining 240,000 soldiers and horses.

According to the organization of the imperial guards, the seven towns should have a total of 560,000 people. However, after nearly a year of bloody battles, more than half of the imperial guards in the seven towns have been lost.

In particular, Chaowu Town, Xingwu Town and Yingwu Town, which broke out from Yongqing City not long ago, suffered the most serious losses.

Before the Battle of Yongqing City, Chaowu Town still had 60,000 soldiers and horses. When Chaowu Town retreated to Fengyuan City, only less than 10,000 soldiers were left.

There were originally nearly 20,000 people left in Xingwu Town and Yingwu Town combined, but in the end, less than 4,000 people were able to escape from Yongqing City. The two towns were completely devastated.

Inside Fengyuan City, there were five guards of the Tiansu Army recruited by Prince Yong'an from Yizhou in the southwest.

However, these five guards of the Tiansu Army had fallen into a trap set by the Northern Jin Army and suffered extremely heavy losses. Currently, there are only more than 10,000 people left in total.

In the southeastern region, Leizhou, Xinzhou and Chizhou each had a border protectorate, namely Anfeng Protectorate, Xingling Protectorate and Yongtong Protectorate.

Among them, the Anfeng Protectorate in Leizhou and the Xingling Protectorate in Xinzhou were both taken back by Yong'an King Chen Su during the last invasion of the Northern Jin Kingdom.

Both protectorates have a structure of four guards. Now the four guards of Anfeng Army and the four guards of Xingling Army have gathered in Fengyuan City.

However, both the Anfeng Army and the Xingling Army suffered heavy losses in a series of previous battles. Now, the four guards of the Anfeng Army have only about 50,000 men left in total, and the four guards of the Xingling Army have only 40,000 men left in total.

The Yongtong Protectorate, located in Chizhou, has always been controlled by the Wu family of Shanglin City.

The Yongtong Army had six guards, five of which remained in the territory of Xinyi County, Chizhou, which was controlled by the Wu family of Shanglin City. The Wu family of Shanglin City only sent the northern guard of the Yongtong Army to the camp of Prince Yong'an to serve.

Because the Northern Jin army had fought many battles with the Yongtong Army in Xinyi County, King Yong'an Chen Su had no way to force the Wu family of Shanglin City to send more troops.

This time, Prince Yong'an gathered his troops in Fengyuan City. In addition to the more than 10,000 surviving soldiers of the Yongtong Army's North Guard, the Wu family of Shanglin City also sent the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Yongtong Army's front and rear guards to Fengyuan City, which was considered to give Prince Yong'an enough face.

Including the 20,000 Leizhou troops, 20,000 Xinzhou troops and 20,000 Chizhou troops mobilized by Prince Yong'an, the number of Liang troops gathered in Fengyuan City has exceeded 600,000.

Sun Hao put down the intelligence sent by the Seven Banner Guards and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that the seven towns of the Imperial Guards would lose so many soldiers and horses on the battlefield in the south.

It seems that after defeating the Northern Jin army, Prince Yong'an should be able to rest for a while."

Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Given the court's current financial situation, restoring the seven garrisons of the Imperial Guards will probably not be possible in a short period of time.

However, my lord, you must be on guard against the imperial court secretly manipulating our Zhenxi Army."

Sun Hao smiled slightly, "If they are not afraid of you openly, then we, the Zhenxi Army, will be even less afraid of you if you come secretly."

Then Sun Hao turned to his personal guard, General Liu Yu, and said, "Order all troops to continue advancing and set up camp after 20 miles."
