On the ninth day of November, Situ Yi led 2,000 cavalry to attack the camp of Helo.

At this time, Helo in the camp was furious. The stout and thick body walked back and forth like a whirlwind, and the turbid and warm air in the tent also flowed uneasily. In front of Helo, there stood nine cronies and generals he had personally cultivated, and these generals were also angry at this time, with angry expressions. However, in the end, no one could come up with a proper way to retreat from the enemy.

The front was already convinced that the vanguard of the Chu army, which was being oppressed like a dark cloud, was under the banner of "Situ" was precisely Situ Yi, who made the Beidi cavalry fearful. During the eight years that he guarded the northern frontier, the Beidi army never dared to cross the border. If it weren't for the false news that Situ Yi had died in the dang dispute, the old and sick Wu Da would definitely have finally given up his ambition to march south, and he would never have sent his beloved son to the battle.

"Can you believe the words of those hateful Han people?" Helo roared loudly, his hammer-like fist slamming down on the hardwoods. The cups on the table were jumping and falling, and there was a chaotic sound of broken bones, and the generals around them frowned even tighter, and they became more and more worried. These generals are brave and unmatched, and they are not afraid of vicious battles, but they are very aggrieved in their hearts. Because they only understood at this time that this time Beidi Xiongshi went south, and they were being used.

There was silence in the tent for a moment, and a general couldn't help but move out, saluted Helo roughly, and said in a strong voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Li once said that Situ Yi is also taking a risk now. His Northern Army has been stirred up by the prince who doesn't know how to fight for a year, and it is no longer the previous Northern Iron Cavalry. And my subordinates heard that between that prince and Situ Yi, in fact, they are also inseparable, if they follow Mr. Li's plan......"

"How dare you say that kid!"

Helo interrupted sharply, and his knife-like eyes slashed at the general who spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that my father listened to those Han people and kept favoring that Li San, how could we be trapped here?" The kid surnamed Li, was detained by Situ Yi, or did he take the initiative to vote for it, which of you can tell? Who else dares to mention that kid again, waiting for a hundred military sticks to serve! Under the rage, Helo no longer had the reason to analyze the truth in his words, not to mention that he hated Li San in the first place.

It was Li San's plan to endure humiliation and bear the burden that made his father Wuda suffer the insults of the former khan, and also made him a weak royal family that everyone could laugh at. Although in the end, Uda ascended the throne as Khan as he wished, and he was also crowned prince. But those unbearable pasts made this pure Di man unable to let go. In his heart, the dignity of a man is greater than heaven and earth.

This time, Wuda listened to what his spy in Chang'an said, believed the information about Situ Yi's death, and sent troops south. However, as soon as the imperial order was issued, Li San, who had always been estranged from Helo, suddenly wrote a letter to implore him to go south with the army. This move, in Helo's view, is clearly intended surveillance. At this time, when Heluo thought of this kind of thing, he felt that his anger was abnormal, and his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to immediately hold his horse and tear Situ Yi and Li San to pieces.

However, Situ Yi, who came in a big way, was stationed at the pass thirty miles away, and he just watched quietly for several days, looking like he was in a good time. The whole day was just a private drill, and it seemed that he could not see the camp of Helo in the distance.

Situ Yi's puzzling behavior, even Ishai under his account couldn't understand it, and after hesitating a few times, he finally chased after Situ Yi who was patrolling the camp, and said loudly: "General, what are you doing here?" ”

Situ Yi didn't stop, slowly pulled up the horsewhip in his hand, his figure jumped into the air, turned over on the horse, and threw him a simple and neat one: "Wait!" ”

"What are you waiting for, general? There are only a thousand of us ambushing behind Helo, if we wait any longer, how good will it be if Helo's reinforcements arrive? Ishai hurriedly rolled over his horse and chased after him.

"Reinforcements? His reinforcements must be able to move, too! Besides, is he the only one with reinforcements? Situ Yi shook his head with a smile, and lightly clamped the horse's belly between his legs. As soon as the stress of the goose was excited, the four hooves immediately flew up, and a man and a horse, like a ghost in the dark night, flashed by.

"General, wait for me!" Ishai hurriedly whipped his horse and crouched on his horse's back to catch up.

Ishai chased his horse for several miles, until he reached a high terrain, and saw that Situ Yi had already been stationed on the high place of the horse, and he was looking into the distance.

"What does the general mean is that we also have reinforcements? But didn't the general have ordered that the northern army that stayed in Yunze must not leave the garrison without permission? Where else do we get reinforcements? Ishai gasped, then raised his hand and pointed to the tent of Helo dotted in the distance, puzzled: "Besides, what are we going to do with reinforcements?" Even if the strikers of Helona are all military horses in the 'Iron Thunderbolt' battalion, there are no more than 10,000 of them, and they are in a desperate situation, aren't they still the fat meat of our mouths? What else do you want reinforcements to do? ”

Situ Yi said with a smile: "It's a taboo to march, underestimate the enemy!" As he spoke, he reined in his horse and walked slowly, his distant gaze passed through Helo's camp and landed on the endless green hills, and he whispered to himself: "In the future, I may not have another chance...... Therefore, this time, the father and son of Wuda, who I must fight, retreated to the north of Amiri Mountain, and never dared to move the idea of going south again. ”

Ishai people were careless, and they didn't pay attention to the helplessness and desolation that suddenly rose between Situ Yi's eyebrows, so he just scratched his head and wondered along his mind: "Isn't this time already calculated by the general?" Helo's forwards got a bargain, and chased the defeated army guarding the pass all the way east. When they arrived in this canyon, we happened to take the gate to defend it, and then divided our troops all the way to cut off Helo's retreat from behind. Now, there is the general in front of Helo, who is personally guarded, and behind him, the general's personal cavalry is cut off, and our left and right cavalry are all lying in the mountains, just waiting for the general's order to attack. Is this Helo still alive? How can subordinates underestimate the enemy? ”

Situ Yi tilted his head to listen and said with a smile: "Well, you have made some progress in this cloth!" Only this time you misjudged my target. ”

"Target?"

Situ Yi nodded: "Yes, I want to repel the main force of the Di army, not only defeat his forwards." ”

Ishai frowned, his mind only allowed him to care about the tactical level: "When exactly will the general fight them?" ”

Situ Yi looked back at the doubts on his face, shook his head and smiled: "When the time comes, the place is favorable, and the people are good." ”

Ishai's brows were clenched like a high mound under his feet, and he simply played a trick: "It's the Han people's tricky art of war again!" Subordinates don't understand! The subordinates only know how to get on the horse and kill the enemy. ”

Situ Yi smiled helplessly: "The art of war is not a trick. You only know how to be brutal, and you only pay attention to pleasure, so in the future, I can only let you assist the calf from the side! It's meritocracy, don't you remember? ”

"What's the matter with that little baby?" Ishai was a little resentful, but after all, he had followed Situ Yi for many years, and he knew that his cold tone represented an unquestionable decision.

Situ Yi saw that Ishai never understood, so he had to restrain the goose, turned his head to look at him and said solemnly: "It's time to tell you." I sent Xiao Niu Er to bring reinforcements from Zhou Qi in Youzhou. This is done because the calf does have this ability, and the second is to deliberately give him the opportunity to build up the convincing work. In the future, when the little cow is alone in the Northern Army, there will inevitably be many elderly generals who are not convinced, and you have to help more from the side! ”

"Little Niu'er is going to lure reinforcements from Youzhou?" Ishai was shocked. What he knew was that Situ Yi had already sent the little cow to Chang'an, but he didn't know what the little cow was going to do, and he didn't understand why Situ Yi mentioned anything to let him help the little cow in the future.

Situ Yi avoided Ishai's shocked and puzzled gaze. He asked Liu Qi to write the demagogic and sonorous "Begging for Thieves", borrowing Zhou Dan's greed and merit, and using his hands to spread all the ways of the world, and he asked Xiao Niu to take his secret letter to find his father's old subordinate Fan Yang Jiedu to make Zhou Qi. The purpose is to let all the soldiers and horses participate in the battle of King Qin. This is to ensure victory, but also to protect oneself. However, he could not explain all this to Ishai.

Situ Yi suffered from the turmoil in his heart, and deliberately said to Ishai calmly: "I know that you are simple-minded, attach importance to love and righteousness, and never put power and interests in your heart. That's why I entrust the calf to you. If you believe in me, if you listen to orders, if you want to reassure me, then from now on, you will regard the calf as me and support me well! ”

Ishai had never seen Situ Yi with such a solemn expression, so he nodded ignorantly, swallowing his doubts.

Situ Yi nodded with satisfaction, he could rest assured of Ishai's promise. However, there are many things that are not understandable to the simple-minded Ishai.

At the beginning of this battle, he had already thought carefully that he had to do it for the battle for the throne of the Zhou Huan and Zhou Dan brothers. However, he also understands that after the matter is completed, if he still loves the military achievements and wealth, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape the fate of the bird after all. Therefore, he had already decided to follow Fan Li's example and retire. And Qin Nanxi also personally said, "What I want in this life is just to hold hands and rely on each other, mountains and rivers", which made him strengthen his desire to retreat bravely and escape to the rivers and lakes.

Ishai looked at Situ Yi's cold and solemn expression, and didn't dare to say more, only discussed the current situation in a low voice: "General, according to his subordinates, those people in Heluo are all fierce and brave, if they are trapped again, I am afraid that it will arouse their desire to fight to the death. ”

Situ Yi came back to his senses when he heard this, the helplessness in his eyes instantly dissipated, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, your analysis is quite reasonable." The people of Helo are indeed the elite of the 'Iron Bolt', and although they have been without food for a few days, they are determined to fight to the death, and their morale is the most vigorous at this time. If you should fight at this time, it will be sharp. They turned around and fled, and our forces were weak and bound to be defeated, so we might as well wait patiently and hold their attention, just wait for the reinforcements that the calf has brought in, cut off his rear roads and backups, and then their morale will be lost, and no thunderbolt will be of any avail. ”

"When will the Youzhou Army led by the little cow arrive?"

"Three days later, and if I'm not mistaken, three days later, there will be a heavy snowfall." Situ Yi looked at the clear sky from afar and affirmed.

Ishai followed his gaze, looking at the sky so blue that it was almost transparent, and scratched his head in confusion.
