"General Xiao, why did your forward brigade only rush to Xiapi County now, Gao Changgong had already fled with all their Qi troops last night! My scouts have been following all the way, and they are fleeing in the direction of North Xuzhou, and they should have entered the territory of North Xuzhou at this time! As soon as Lu Guangda saw Xiao Yao, he said in a hurry.

"Haha, General Lu doesn't need to be in such a hurry, come, drink a glass of water first! Our forward brigade has just arrived in Xiapi County, and all military and political affairs in the city have not yet had time to take over, so let alone a celebration wine, there is not even a cup of tea, please forgive me! Xiao Yao said with a smile as a master.

"General Xiao, what are you talking about? Still thinking about celebratory wine? Now that Gao Changgong has fled to Northern Xuzhou, if we don't catch up, maybe he will flee back to Qi! Do you think I can not be in a hurry! Lu Guangda didn't take the water cup handed to him by Xiao Yao, and still urged with a very anxious look.

"General Lu, Xuzhou City was captured by the general yesterday, and now my forward brigade has successfully entered Xiapi County, plus Supre County, which has long been taken by the Eastern Route Army, and now the entire Xuzhou has been completely recovered by my Da Chen, don't you say this great event is worth drinking a glass of celebratory wine?" Xiao Yao said as a matter of course.

"Having said that, we haven't wiped out Gao Changgong's entire army yet! You must know that at least 20,000 of their remnants fled to North Xuzhou, if you add the defenders in North Xuzhou, now Gao Changgong must have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, this is a large army that can counterattack us at any time! Even if we have recovered Xuzhou now, but the distance between North Xuzhou and here is only two hundred miles, then they are a lot of threats to us! We're thinking about drinking celebratory wine now, isn't it too early! Lu Guangda was a little angry, and he said with a straightforward personality a little dissatisfied.

"General Lu! Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and although it has been nearly a month since our forward brigade set out from Jinling City, in fact, we came to Huaibei to fight against Gao Changgong, which was what only started yesterday! Moreover, it only took one hour for our forward brigade to defeat the main force of Gao Changgong's Huaibei army, including his so-called artillery unit that imitated our forward brigade! Even Zhang Dabao, a traitor, was captured alive by us and executed at Ling Chi! Today, we have successfully taken Xiapi County without a single soldier, and recovered the entire Xuzhou, is it that we have made this great achievement, are not worth celebrating, drink a glass of celebration wine? Xiao Yao's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone became cold and said loudly, which made Lu Guangda startled, looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, and didn't dare to say anything more!

"I know that General Lu is eager for revenge, and wants to defeat Gao Changgong as soon as possible and completely, and the shame of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou! But as General Lu said just now, Gao Changgong has now fled to North Xuzhou, although it is called North Xuzhou, but it is not the boundary of Xuzhou, but the scope of Qingzhou! And my forward brigade received the task of His Majesty, and it was only to come to Huaibei to reinforce General Lu, and then lead General Lu to take Xuzhou together, and then recover Huaibei! So now that we have successfully recovered Xuzhou, we have completed the task assigned by His Majesty, so doesn't General Lu think that we should have a good celebration? Xiao Yao played a word game!

"General Xiao, you, what do you mean by this? We are fighting against the Northern Expedition of the Qi State, and what we want is to wipe out all the troops of the Qi State, why are you still in Xuzhou Qingzhou now, don't you want to pursue Gao Changgong? He is two hundred miles away, so why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and catch up and defeat the remnants of Gao Changgong's army in one fell swoop? Do you just watch them flee and then let the tiger go back to the mountain? General Xiao, you are the youngest general of our Da Chen, and the pillar of our Da Chen's future, how can you make such a low-level mistake now! Lu Guangda said angrily.

"What does General Naru want? Immediately led the army to pursue Gao Changgong, and then broke through Northern Xuzhou in one fell swoop? Yes, General Lu is so confident, then I approve General Lu to lead your troops to pursue Gao Changgong, and my forward brigade will help General Lu take over all the city defense and government affairs in Xuzhou City! If General Lu can defeat Gao Changgong and break through Northern Xuzhou like he did in Xuzhou City, I, Xiao Yao, will definitely not compete with General Lu! Xiao Yao said coldly.

"I..." Lu Guangda was really stunned by Xiao Yao's words, and he had nothing to say!

If he really dared to lead his troops to pursue Gao Changgong alone, then Lu Guangda would not have rushed from Xuzhou City to Xiapi County to find Xiao Yao! The reason why he left Xuzhou City, which had just been broken by himself, and rushed to Xiapi County to find Xiao Yao in such a hurry was actually to let Xiao Yao lead the forward brigade, and then take him to North Xuzhou to pursue Gao Changgong! If he was the only one who took the more than 10,000 troops who were afraid of Gao Changgong to challenge Gao Changgong, Lu Guangda knew that he would definitely not be Gao Changgong's opponent!

"I've beaten Gao Changgong for the second time! I believe General Lu also understands that the fundamental reason why my forward brigade was defeated by Gao Changgong in Linying County before was that I was in a hurry to save my father-in-law, and then I was forced to divide the forward brigade, and Zhang Dabao, a traitor, betrayed us, so our forward brigade was hit hard by Gao Changgong! If the three battalions of the Forward Brigade had been fighting together all the time, Gao Changgong would have been defeated at my hands no matter how many men and horses there were, just like today! So my tactics are to be steady and steady, step by step, and never rush forward! Even if he is escaped by Gao Changgong this time, so what, I will defeat him next time! And it's best that he also abandons the city and flees in North Xuzhou like here in Xiapi County, then we can recover North Xuzhou without a single soldier! Xiao Yao smiled confidently.

"This, this, although General Xiao's words are reasonable, but if we take advantage of the victory to pursue and make the final blow to the remnants of Gao Changgong's defeated army, we will definitely be able to wipe out Gao Changgong in one fell swoop, and then not only North Xuzhou, but also Qingzhou will be our Dachen's land, and from then on, we will never have to worry about the future, and we can concentrate on dealing with the Qi army on the side of Yingchuan County!" Lu Guangda persuaded with an unwilling face, and in the end, he even blurted out excitedly: "Otherwise, General Xiao will lend me your forward brigade, and I will take them to pursue Gao Changgong!" I will definitely be able to defeat Gao Changgong... ”

"Lend you the Forward Brigade? Lu Guangda, what do you mean by that! Xiao Yao interrupted Lu Guangda's words loudly with anger on his face, and glared at Lu Guangda with a fierce look.

Lu Guangda, who knew that he was speechless, was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down to apologize to the young general who was younger than his son, and said: "General Xiao, please forgive me, just now Lu was excited for a while, panicked, and said the wrong thing!" Lu didn't want to rob General Xiao's military power, he just wanted to defeat Gao Changgong with all his strength and eliminate a strong enemy for our Da Chen! ”

"General Lu, I respect you as a well-known old general, so I have always been polite to you, but don't kick your nose in the face! I also sent someone to tell me to obey my command, how nice it sounds, it turns out that you are such a person! Back then, even Wu Mingche, the old fox, didn't dare to transfer my infantry battalion away! Now you want me to lend you the Forward Brigade for the sake of your own personal grudge with Gao Changgong, you think it is quite beautiful! Xiao Yao pretended to be angry and said.

"General Xiao, I didn't mean that, I just... Lu Guangda was so frightened that he hurriedly explained.

"Forget it! If you want to pursue Gao Changgong, then you can go by yourself! I'm just a little mighty general, and I can't control you, the famous Zhiwu general! But don't put your hand on my forward brigade, otherwise don't blame me for Xiao Yao's disrespect for the elderly! Xiao Yao still looked angry.
