Fang Yi and Li Xiaoyi both miscalculated the difference in strength between themselves and Xu Jingyou.

Originally, the two thought that it would take three or four days to capture Huaiyin City, but they didn't expect that after only half a day's strong attack, Xu Jingyou couldn't bear it.

The 20,000 rebels in Huaiyin City faced the strong attack of the 100,000-strong army, and they only resisted for half a day and began to collapse.

Xu Jingyou fled with nearly a thousand remnants of the defeated city and fled towards Xu Jingye's army.

And Li Xiaoyi led the army to chase but not kill according to what Fang Yi said, and chased all the way for two days before stopping.

Xu Jingyou was also able to save a small life and join Xu Jingye's army.

"I gave you 20,000 troops to hold Huaiyin City, and you actually resisted for half a day and then collapsed?"

In the camp tent outside Huailin City, Xu Jingye saw the gray-faced Xu Jingyou, and he felt like he was overwhelmed.

"Metropolitan Governor, it's not that I'm incompetent, it's really Li Xiaoyi's offensive is too fierce!"

Xu Jingyou knelt in front of Xu Jingye with a dead face.

In the face of this defeated younger brother, Xu Jingye wanted to punish him severely, after all, Xu Jingyou's incompetence had ruined his own good situation, but in the entire army, Xu Jingye's only 100% belief was his younger brother Xu Jingyou, and he could not severely punish Xu Jingyou no matter what.

Zuo Changshi Tang Zhiqi, who was standing behind Xu Jingyou, understood Xu Jingye's thoughts, and hurriedly stood up to intercede for Xu Jingyou.

"The Grand Governor, you can't completely blame the county duke! It's really Li Xiaoyi, this guy is too cunning! We've all fallen for his tricks! We also thought that Li Xiaoyi's army was all stationed outside Huailin City, and continued to increase troops, but we didn't expect that Li Xiaoyi had personally led the army to make a detour to capture Huaiyin, which was a sin under the sin, and it was under the fault that Li Xiaoyi's conspiracy was not recognized, please be punished by the capital! ”

After listening to Tang Zhiqi's words, Xu Jingye's face softened slightly.

Xu Jingye knew that Tang Zhiqi was not really guilty when he said this, but to give himself a step down to forgive Xu Jingyou.

Xu Jingye sighed softly: "Blame me for this matter, if I found out about Li Xiaoyi's conspiracy and sent troops to attack Huailin in time, maybe Huailin is already under my control now!" ”

"Governor, it's time to think about what's next! Huaiyin was breached, the advantage of our army's three-way army no longer exists, and the rear road of the Chinese army is in danger of being cut off. ”

"Alas!" Xu Jingye sighed heavily, and glared at Xu Jingyou who was wiping cold sweat angrily, "It's come to this point, it's useless to say so much!" Pass on our military order, the whole army retreats, and make peace with Wei Siwen's army! ”

"Yes!"

Contrary to the frustration in Xu Jingye's army, Li Xiaoyi's army outside Huailin City was full of cheers.

As Tong Fang Yi said, Li Xiaoyi's army was a regular imperial army, while Xu Jingye's army was all a rabble.

As long as your side wins once, the morale of both sides will change dramatically, and the next battle will become very simple!

"Brother Nengchen, you really have you! Although I Li Xiaoyi has no ability, there are not many people who really admire, I used to be Your Majesty, Master Di and Brother Xiaojie, and now I want to add one more, Brother You! Come, drink to win! ”

"Haha, I'm not good at drinking, I'm casual, you did it!" Fang Yi took a shallow sip of the wine in his cup, then turned his head to look at Chen Tiantian, "The plan can be implemented so perfectly, it is inseparable from Brother Nature's plan to hide from the world!" ”

Chen was naturally flattered, picked up his wine glass, paid tribute to Fang Yi and Li Xiaoyi, and drank it all.

Chen Nature's favorability towards Fang Yi once again rose to a new height.

Resourceful, not arrogant, not impatient, and more importantly, not greedy!

There must be a lot of benefits to following such a boss!

"You two are amazing! Hahaha! Li Xiaoyi laughed, "Brother Nengchen, what should we do next?" Will you spend it with Xu Jingye outside Huailin City, or will you kill it directly tomorrow? ”

Thinking of the records of Tang History, Fang Yi suddenly showed an unfathomable smile.

"There is no need to spend money with them, and there is no need to attack and kill Xu Jingye tomorrow, because they will take the initiative to withdraw their troops tonight!"

"Huh? Will they withdraw their troops? Li Xiaoyi was stunned.

"That's right! Huaiyin City was broken by us, Xu Jingye did not withdraw his troops, the back road would be cut off by us, and the only thing waiting for him was the annihilation of the whole army! Therefore, I expect that tonight, Xu Jingye will definitely withdraw his troops to Xia A and Wei Siwen to make peace! ”

"Report!"

As soon as Fang Yi's words fell, a sergeant ran over in a panic.

"What?" Li Xiaoyi looked at the sergeant with a nervous expression.

"General, the rebels have burned their tents and banners and withdrawn!"

"What?" Li Xiaoyi first looked at Fang Yi with a look of surprise, and then at the sergeant, "In which direction did they withdraw their troops?" ”

"Southeast, it should be the withdrawal of troops!"

"Niu Break, Brother Nengchen! No wonder Your Majesty asked you to be Taishi Ling, you are simply a living immortal who can pinch things like a god! What is there in this world that can hide from your eyes? That's amazing! Should we pursue Xu Jingye overnight? If Xu Jingye's army and Wei Siwen's army meet, there will be more than 100,000 horses! It's hard to deal with! ”

"No!"

Thinking of Tang Shili's fate of chasing Xu Jingye, Fang Yi hurriedly rejected Li Xiaoyi's proposal.

"Why? Our army is strong, the enemy is weak, and it is a good time to defeat the weak with the strong! ”

Fang Yi couldn't help frowning, it was impossible for him to say to Li Xiaoyi, "Tang Shili remembers very clearly, you pursued Xu Jingye who withdrew the army, and was defeated, so scared that you almost didn't dare to continue fighting", right? And he planned so much, just to force Xu Jingye to go to Xia A and Wei Siwen to make peace, how can he stop Xu Jingye and Wei Siwen from making peace now? If these two people are not allowed to reconcile, how should their fire attack plan be implemented?

In a moment, Fang Yi came up with a perfect excuse: "Brother Xiaoyi, listen to me!" Although Xu Jingye is a second ancestor, he is yi after all

After the Duke of G Li Tao, the ability to lead troops to fight is far above you and me, what we can think of, Xu Jingye will definitely be able to think of! Rashly pursued, I am afraid that there will be ambushes! ”

"Ahh Yeah! Brother Nengchen, you are still thoughtful! Li Xiaoyi patted his chest with a frightened face, "But let them meet like this, I'm unwilling!" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaoyi, what month is it?"

"October, ......"

"Hehe, October, exactly the same season as that year!" Fang Yi laughed.

"What is the season of the year? What...... What do you mean......" Li Xiaoyi looked at Fang Yi confused.

"Uh...... I mean...... Exactly the same season as I expected! In this season, the southeast wind prevails in Huainan Road! Under the reeds, if we can lead Xu Jingye's army to the reeds and attack them with fire, the thieves will definitely be defeated! ”

"! Niu Break, Brother Neng Chen! You are the reincarnation of the god of war! ”

"Low-key, low-key!"

"Yes, yes!"

"You're welcome!"

"Tell the truth!"

Chen Tiantian's two brothers, purple eyes: "......"
