Li Su and others chatted with Fa Zheng for a while, and also took some "Qi Pot Pulp" from the rich people in Yi County to donate to the labor army.

Before leaving, Li Su wanted to test whether the Fazheng clan might be persuaded to "choose the opportunity to make contributions to the country".

Emperor Han Ling is still alive, the world is not in turmoil, and he must not be able to persuade others to work for Liu Bei.

And the answer attitude of the Fazheng family is also relatively simple: Yongliang is undecided, now he is filial piety, and he wants to serve the country in the future, and Han Sui's traitor is also close at hand, so there is no need to endure the dangers of Shu Road.

With the power of Xuande Gong, Zhang Lu's thief can be destroyed within the year, and then he will benefit people and get his own place, isn't it beautiful? If there is a fate, he will be an official in the same dynasty in the future.

When Li Su heard this kind of official tone, he knew that they were relocated to the land and did not consider going south, which is also human nature.

But it doesn't matter, make good friends during this time, and when Dong Zhuo takes power in the future and the central government becomes a dangerous place on the cusp, I believe that Fa Yanfa will make the right choice.

Li Su estimated that at the latest, when Dong Zhuo revealed the trend of moving west to Chang'an, these celebrities would run south.

Fa Zheng is only fourteen years old, so let's get married first and then stock it for two years, anyway, Yixian County is not far from Hanzhong.

……

It took a day to take care of the rear affairs of Yixian County and make good connections. When Li Su returned to the Wuzhangyuan camp in the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yun, who Liu Bei sent to investigate the military situation around Chencang, had also returned.

Liu Bei summoned the generals and asked Zhao Yun to report the first-hand situation on the front line in front of everyone, and by the way, the military discussion discussed countermeasures.

Zhao Yun gave a general description of the size and deployment of the enemy's army, and provided a piece of information: there should still be enough food in Chencang City, and Huangfu Song's cage city management should be good, and the food ration was well arranged.

This point can be seen from the details of the military appearance, deployment, and banner at the head of Chencang City, and the posture of the lack of food and the lack of food is completely different in the face of the approach of the reinforcement scouts. Zhao Yun had always been more bold when commanding scouts, and the most recent time he took advantage of the cover of dusk to rush to a place only a few hundred steps away from the city gate before returning, and he had observed carefully enough.

In other words, Han Sui should be the one who can't hold it first, Huang Fu Song really wants to fight back, and he can get out of the city at any time, it depends on when Huang Fu Song thinks Han Sui's morale is exhausted.

Liu Bei interrogated clearly and nodded with satisfaction: "Gentlemen, in this way, for Chen Cang to relieve the siege, is it better to fight quickly or delay?" Huangfu Song has food, and Han Sui's morale will definitely become more and more depressed after a long time. ”

Under this tone, Guan Yu took the lead in expressing his position, considering from a purely military point of view, thinking that he could repair for a while to let the soldiers return to their peak state, and then slowly figure it out, and then Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun also thought so.

Li Su didn't care, he was already thinking about the battle of Hanzhong in the future, how to be the most beneficial to the battle of Hanzhong, anyway, according to the original historical trajectory, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo alone could also win, and Dong Zhuo was recalled to Luoyang after winning.

Liu Bei's participation was nothing more than to expand the fruits of victory and further attack Han Sui.

But Li Su was not interested in weakening Han Sui excessively, because it wouldn't take long for Han Sui to run away, and it would be Dong Zhuo's turn to become a national thief, and Han Sui would still be of some use to Yizhou's forces in the future, and he could stay with Dong Zhuojun to contain each other.

"Boya, you have always been resourceful, why didn't you speak this time?" Liu Bei was also curious, and asked Li Su specifically, because he saw that Li Su didn't speak, and even Lu Su and other civil officials and strategists didn't dare to speak, and everyone was waiting for him.

Li Sutuo sighed: "Oh, I think that it has nothing to do with us how many Han Sui kills, as long as we can drive it away with as little loss as possible." However, it is better to enter Hanzhong sooner rather than later. It is now the twenty-sixth day of the first month, and the snow in the Qinling Valley Road has melted in early February.

If our army goes late, it will inevitably be alerted by Zhang Lu and give him more time to prepare - in the middle of winter, the mountain road was blocked by ice and snow, and there was no news from the north and south of the Qinling Mountains. ”

Lu Su and Zhuge Jin next to him couldn't help but admire: Brother Boya's gesture of contempt for Han Sui, Han Sui is still there, and he is already thinking about the follow-up.

Although Li Su did not propose a quick war on a case-by-case basis, he was encouraged by this idea, and Lu Su, who had planned to fight quickly, also volunteered: "The general came here in the righteousness of the imperial court, and it is not appropriate to only look at the war, but also to consider the expectations of the imperial court." Since the enemy can be defeated in both urgency and urgency, it is better to use urgency, which can make His Majesty more trusted by the general, and second, he can also be harmonious with his colleagues, so that General Zuo and the former general will know the general's faithfulness. ”

Lu Su's statement obviously puts the political account in a higher position than the military account.

Li Su was also quite inspired when he heard this: selling more favors to Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo this time will also be beneficial to long-term strategic deception in the future.

Compared with...... Hundreds of more soldiers died because of serving as the main attacker, which was a price that had to be paid.

Those who achieve great things are not informal.

"It was my negligence, I didn't expect this, and I also agree with Zijing." Li Su hurriedly said.

Guan Yu was silent, and Zhao Yun hurriedly advanced the topic and helped Guan Yu relieve the embarrassment: "General, since this is the case, it is better to lead his subordinates Wuhuan to storm the cavalry, and ask Yu Fu Luoshan to use the Xiongnu elite cavalry to sweep the formation to strengthen the prestige, first harass Han Sui's troops, hit the morale of the enemy army, and send the dead soldiers to break through into the city while the chaos is in order, contact General Zuo, and make an appointment to send troops." ”

Zhao Yun talked directly about the implementation level, and the generals who were rejected for the idea of delaying the war did not feel ashamed, and seconded the proposal, feeling that this tactic was fine.

Liu Bei nodded: "Okay, tomorrow the dragon will lead the sudden cavalry out of the battle first, there is no need to fight, as long as you harass and confuse the enemy army." Today is 26, let the messenger inform General Zuo that our army will launch a fierce attack on Han Sui in the early morning of the 28th. So that they don't have to reply, whether they go out of the city or not, we are on the 28th! ”

Then Liu Bei asked about the candidate for the messenger of the dead soldier, Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai were already the generals in charge, and it was impossible for him to do this kind of thing personally.

In the end, Zhao Yun recommended Xu Huang, who is now the commander of the Hedong Army, to give Xu Huang a chance to perform, and Liu Bei nodded and agreed.

If Xu Huang can't even break through into the city, then it can only be said that he is not good at martial arts, and his fate should be like this.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Huangfu Song, who was defending the city, once again saw signs that made him feel that the time was ripe for a counterattack.

The day before, he only saw Zhao Yun (he didn't know Zhao Yun) with hundreds of cavalry scouts harassing the enemy camp and approaching to reconnoitre, but what he saw today was a cloud of rushing cavalry, at least more than 10,000!

The horse's hooves galloped, the sound was like thunder, and the scene was extremely shocking. Even if Huangfu Song himself is the top commander in the world who has led 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, he is still extremely excited.

"What's that? The Huns are single in the big Xu? What kind of capable people in the court can invite the Southern Xiongnu Yuvro here? With this scene, I am afraid that the morale of Han Sui's army will become more and more depressed, and he will definitely want to withdraw his troops in a few days. ”

The Xiliang rebel camp outside the city, although more than 100,000 people were gathered, there were only 20,000 or 30,000 on each side, and there were many reserves along the Weishui River valley in the Longshan Pass to ensure the way. So being swept by 15,000 cavalry, the pressure was still very great-

The rebels didn't know that Yu Fuluo's 10,000 men were just here to plunder the battle, and they had no intention of fighting for Liu Bei at all. And as long as Yu Fuluo passed by, only Zhao Yun's five thousand Wuhuan Raiders really approached and released arrows for a while, and the deterrent pressure of the fox and fake tiger power was very great.

Han Sui's camp was a burst of chickens and dogs, the junction between the battalions was cut and ravaged by the cavalry, the earthen walls and roads that had been built since the siege were also destroyed in several places, and hundreds of sentries were flooded and killed by the cavalry.

Xu Huang took a few of his henchmen, took advantage of the chaos to rush to the city of Chencang, and called the door loudly, claiming to be under the command of Liu Bei, the general of Zhenxi, and had a military situation to contact General Zuo.

There are few people in the city to see Xu Huang, and the visibility of this point is also good, there is no doubt that there is fraud, Ma Li let Xu Huang into the city, and was personally received by Huangfu Song.

Xu Huang: "Meet General Zuo!" General Zhenxi was ordered to crusade against Zhang Lu, a rice thief in Hanzhong, passing through Chencang, and in order to clear the road, he was willing to fight the thief with General Zuo. General Zhenxi watched the enemy for two days, thinking that Han Sui's morale had fallen and that time was running out, and he said that no matter whether General Zuo sent troops or not, he would launch a general attack on Han Sui on the morning of the 28th. ”

"General Zhenxi...... Liu Bei? It's actually Liu Bei? He's already General Zhenxi? Huangfu Song looked at it for a long time, and there was still some information that was out of sync.

His current situation is exactly the same as Gongsun Zan a year ago, he has been besieged for half a year, and the delay in detection is too serious, and when he came back again, he found that Liu Bei had practiced several levels.

"When I was besieged with the former general, Liu Bei was only a long history of Liaodong, right? Half a year, he is already a general of Zhenxi? I remember that when I first saw him five years ago, he was just a county lieutenant under the disciple of Zigan Brother through an unknown disciple who fought bravely in hundreds of townships for more than a year. It's a lot of life. ”

Huangfu Song's words were actually a bit wrong, when he was surrounded in Chencang, Liu Bei had actually just turned into Liaodong Taishou. It's just that Liaodong is too far away from Kansai, and it takes time for the news to be transmitted, so Huangfu Song didn't have time to hear it before he entered.

He paused, and said proudly to Xu Huang: "Break Han Sui, I have long been sure, this is just my tired enemy's test, Liu Bei wants to attack Foxiao the day after tomorrow, I will make food tomorrow, and attack the camp on the fourth watch, one or two times earlier than Liu Bei!" ”

Huangfu Song is also dignified, how can he let the younger generation snatch the name of serving the country most loyally, the first main task must be grabbed.

"Then I'll defend the city." Dong Zhuo was buzzing with business, obviously the contradictions between the two had accumulated to a certain extent.

……

There was nothing to say for a day, and all three parties were making the final preparations before the war.

In the early morning of the 28th, just after the third watch, Huangfu Song asked the whole army to get up, make food in advance, and prepare it completely, and then open the east gate of Chencang City, preparing to attack the besieging enemy army in the east of the city with Liu Bei from the east.

The siege camp was only two or three miles deep from the city gate, and the vanguard troops quickly rushed to the front of the camp, and with hooks to lift the fence, antlers, and horses, and then the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Kill the thief! Capture Han Sui! Several camps were soon invaded by the Huangfu Song army.

"How can there be an empty camp? Could it be that there is an ambush? ”

"There is a fight in the camp next door, and it is not an empty camp over there!"

In the chaos, the Han army found that some of the Han Suijun camps were actually empty, and it didn't look like a trick, because some battalions were normal from a distance before dark yesterday, but now even the tents have been moved! Only some timber structures remained that were not taken, which were apparently empty battalions left over from the official retreat of the army.

"The rebels secretly retreated in batches! Kill and chase! ”

It turned out that Liu Bei's arrival, as well as the threat and harassment sent by Zhao Yun and Yu Fuluo the day before, became the last straw that completely crushed Han Sui's confidence.

Han Sui, who had besieged the city for five months and wanted to return to Tianshui in history, made up his mind in advance to slip away.

It's just that there are too many troops and the scale is too large to finish it all at once, and it is always necessary to divide the troops to open the way and divide the troops to break off, so Huangfu Song saw such a scene when he pounced.

Liu Beijun's vanguard, who was still more than ten miles away from the camp on the east side of Han Sui, realized from a distance that there was movement, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Full speed ahead! General Zuo is already killing thieves, I can't wait to lag behind! General Zuo will definitely collapse in Han Sui, and take the opportunity to chase down the war exploits, at this time! ”

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had just finished boosting their morale, and when they saw Yu Fuluo, who had been appearing in a tourist moving posture these days, they couldn't help but let his descendants charge.

Zhao Yun hurriedly confirmed with him: "Shan Yu, your army only needs to sweep the formation, you are guests from afar." ”

Yu Fuluo was eager to smile: "Don't worry, I won't ask General Zhenxi to calculate the money separately!" ”

Nonsense, this kind of pursuit battle is to grab people's heads, there are 10,000 of the most elite Huns Shan Yu's personal guards in hand, don't you take the opportunity to grab the spoils, then don't you lose money!

The chase and escape battle with the wind is something that any cavalry commander is willing to fight without taking money for nothing, and robbery alone is cool enough.

In the original history, Han Sui's 100,000 troops retreated this time, and he was chased and killed by 20,000 troops of Huangfu Song, and more than 10,000 first-level meritorious contributions were beheaded to the imperial court - this is only cut to the first-level meritorious service, which is clearly recorded in the annals of history. I don't know how many more of those who killed but didn't cut off people's heads.

Now that there are more Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and 20,000 cavalry chasing after Fuluo, I don't know how much Han Sui has to pay to go back.

Midnight......
