Chapter 118: Zhao Tuo's hole cards

"Brother Peng, how did you do it?"

After marching all the way, Funiu Lu still didn't dare to believe his eyes, so he swallowed his saliva and asked.

Barberry Road didn't mention anything else, but began to ask about Li Si, which showed that his initial trust had been gained.

Peng Li breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Si, and said: "Coincidentally, since the battle of Peng's Qu was dispersed that day, I wanted to go south to Lingqu but found that Lingqu had already been cut off by another imperial army, so I could only take more than 3,000 brothers back to the vicinity of Dongting to see if I could take advantage of this to fight the autumn wind and find an opportunity to break through to the south." ”

"Unexpectedly, just a few days ago, my subordinates found that an imperial army of several hundred people crossed the river and headed south, so I led my brothers to destroy the imperial army in one fell swoop."

"What I didn't expect was that this team of several hundred people turned out to be a guard from Xianyang, and it happened to be the army that escorted Prime Minister Li Si to Changsha to look for Zhang Han, but he was caught by someone, hahahaha."

Peng Li endorsed the words that Li Yu had come up with for him.

And such a story sounds unbelievable in Funiu Road, but I have to believe it.

After all, if the person in front of him was just Peng Li who wanted to use this to show his merit and find an ordinary person pretending to be Li Si, how could he attract tens of thousands of troops to chase after him.

It is precisely because there are chasing soldiers behind him that Funiu Lu believes more and more that the middle-aged man in front of him who looks like a Confucian is Li Si, the prime minister of Daqin.

What's more, he and Peng Li are also old acquaintances, although the factions are different, but the relationship in private is not bad.

So in the eyes of Funiu Road, Peng Li turned around without knowing it, and then the blind cat bumped into Li Si, and then caught Li Si with great luck.

And it was precisely because Peng Li was eager to return to the nest that he used Li Si to deter Zhang Han's army to successfully cross the Lingqu, so it attracted Zhang Han's army to pursue.

After a series of reveries, Funiu Lu suddenly felt that he was a genius.

I was supposed to go to Gyeonggi Province on an errand in the first place......

What Funiu Lu didn't find was that although the imperial army behind him chased all the way, he never caught up with his group of more than 10,000 people.

The reason, of course, is that Li Cunxiao deliberately released the water, let the big 10,000 ride for twenty miles and walk ten miles, and always kept a distance of one stick of incense at full speed with Li Yu.

But doing so made the 10,000 cavalry under Li Cunxiao miserable.

"General, are we chasing or not......"

Li Cunxiao didn't want to think about it when he heard this, and said: "Chase, why don't you chase?" ”

……

"But if we stop and go like this, the foot soldiers behind us will almost surpass our cavalry."

Li Cunxiao grinned, stretched out his big slap and patted the deputy general beside him, and said, "Who said that you have to run fast when riding a horse." ”

The earth-shattering movement was also created by Li Cunxiao's pawns striking the shield with their weapons.

The adjutant general didn't know Li Cunxiao's plans, so he could only be speechless.

And with such an obvious and flawed intention, Barberry Lu, who was also at a loss, was shocked for a moment because he saw Li Si, and then went deep into the game without knowing it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a cautious person like Barberry Road not to see through it.

Otherwise, Zhao Tuo would not have thrown the Funiu Road here to pay attention to the enemy's movements.

The army of foot soldiers ran all the way for dozens of miles, after all, it was not as good as riding a horse, and Funiu Lu couldn't help but look at the pursuers behind him to see if they were chasing.

Seeing that there was no change, he said reassuringly: "Send the order, the whole army will rest for half an hour, and continue to hurry after half an hour." ”

The herald left, and Funiu Lu looked at Peng Li and said: "Brother Peng's capture of Li Si must be a great achievement, and it is impossible for our army to use this to deter Zhang Han's army and make him have some scruples." ”

After speaking, Funiu Lu looked at Peng Li without saying anything, how could Peng Li not see that Funiu Lu was planning to share some credit with himself.

But for the sake of face, he didn't say it directly.

Peng Yan glanced at Li Si and said with a smile: "Haha, it's all luck, fortunately, it was Brother Niu who met him, otherwise, if someone else might have Peng's head cut off." ”

"Brother Peng said with a smile, we are all from Lingnan, you are concerned about the boss of Ren Huan, but Lao Niu still has to talk about you, Ren Shuai has been sick for several years, and in the past few years, Zhao Shuai has basically been helping as a deputy, and now Zhao Shuai deserves his name, and it is actually a good thing for us Lingnan brothers......"

Peng Yan's face changed several times when he heard this, and he shook his head and sneered: "Forcing us to commit the crime of rebellion, is this a good thing?" ”

Seeing this, Funiu Lu didn't expect Peng Li's temper to still be stinky and hard, so he simply stopped continuing the topic.

After a while, Funiu Lu spoke again: "Fortunately, now Brother Peng has arrested Li Si, which can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, and when you return to Haicheng, Lao Niu will intercede for you and let Zhao Shuai release his younger siblings and Xiaodouzi." ”

Hearing the word "little bean", Peng Li rarely showed a tender and fatherly face, so he sighed and said, "Anyway, thank you Brother Niu." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a lot, Funiu Lu's face showed a little joy again, and said: "You're kind Brother Peng, your little bean and my tiger girl were born a few days ago, and my Niu Niu has made a fuss several times, so I asked Xiao Douzi why he didn't come to play with him." ”

Funiu Lu played an emotional card, and Li Yu and the others broke out in a cold sweat when they heard it, for fear that Peng Li would turn against the water in the next second and let the plan die.

Fortunately, Peng Li diverted the topic at the right time and said: "Let's hurry up and get on the road, this place is less than fifty miles away from the boundary of Hainan County." ”

Hearing this, Funiu Lu also nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's important to get down to business." ”

The conversation between the two ended here, and there was not much communication along the way, after all, the credit was in front of them.

……

The Li River meets the Lishui River, and the turbulence is endless.

White sails slowly appeared at the intersection, more and more, denser and denser.

So much so that the whole river is covered with white sails and black boats. The black dragon flag inlaid with gold on the eaves of the ship is displayed in the wind, as if declaring sovereignty.

Knock knock, knock knock~

The thunder of the war drums and the deafening sound startled the barberry road, which was already running along the riverbank.

"There are even sailors?"

Seeing this, Li Yu's expression narrowed slightly, and he secretly leaned over to Li Si's side to give Peng Li a look, and gestured with two fingers.

Peng Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he said: "It's not good, it must be Zhang Han who wants the whole army to follow and coerce Hainan." ”

Seeing this, Funiu Lu smiled and said: "Brother Peng, don't worry, Zhang Han only has 80,000 people in his hands at this time, and the sum of the Yue people who are later only 130,000 or 40,000 is only 130,000." ”

"You must know that Zhao Shuai has already asked the Western Army to find Yelang's barbarians as reinforcements, and even the Xiang family army will return with him, if that Zhang Han dares to venture deeper and deeper into the hinterland, he will definitely not be able to come back."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yu's heart jumped wildly several times, but he heard a shocking ......

Peng Li naturally suppressed the horror in his heart, and pretended to be determined: "Brother Niu is serious? ”

Funiu Lu grinned and said, "Naturally, it's true, otherwise why do you think Zhao Shuai dares to move against Qin?" ”

"But it's a pity...... Those Yue people were useless, and they were actually rebelled. ”

"Otherwise, now Zhao Shuai has a full army of 400,000 in his hands."

400,000 ......

This is enough to argue with Daqin!

No wonder he Zhao Tuo has no fear......

However, fortunately, he slipped his mouth in this barberry road, but bought Li Yu a little time to think of a way to deal with it.
