"What did you say?" Zhang Wan looked at the fan rider who came to report the news in front of him, and his face was incredible. "Liu Yan went down the mountain and attacked Wulitun?"

"Yes, General Zhang, Liu Yan has attacked Wulitun and has already entered the tunnei, and is fighting fiercely with General Huang, although we hurried to support after getting the news, but the enemy is fierce, according to the terrain and obstacles in the tun, our advantages can not be brought into play at all. Even the leader of the Kolu tribe, Iriji, died. Fanqi's face was full of panic: "General Zhang, the crossbow arrows of the mighty mountain bandits are so powerful." ”

"Irizhi is dead?" Zhang Wan was really taken aback this time: "Then who is commanding the fanqi now?" ”

"It's our patriarch Xiao Jing." Fanqi said: "But the Lu Department is unwilling to obey the command of our patriarch, there is a lot of chaos, the patriarch has no choice, and in the chaos, General Huang cannot be contacted, so he can only send me to ask General Zhang for help." The patriarch said that if General Zhang didn't go, he was afraid that he would suffer a big defeat today. ”

At this time, Zhang Wan had already understood.

It must have been Wuli Tuntun's carelessness in underestimating the Yellow Sea, which made Liu Yan of Weiwu Mountain find a flaw and slip down the mountain. However, there were 2,000 armed people in Wulitun, and nearly 2,000 horsemen were riding on the left, although Liu Yan took the lead, but he did not take it in one fell swoop, and the two sides temporarily fell into a stalemate.

However, the death of Irizhi obviously became a turning point in this war. Zhang Wan knew that among these fanbu, Yi Lizhi's Kelu was the strongest, and he was the leader of the fanbu designated by the Yellow Sea, and his death would inevitably cause chaos in the fanbu, and no one would obey anyone.

was originally a group of rabble, and the death of a person who could suppress them, naturally it was even more impossible to make a dead hand. This Xiao Jing can barely restrain his subordinates from scattering, and his performance is already very good.

"General Zhang, please send reinforcements immediately!" Fan Qi said continuously.

"I know, I will give you an order arrow, and when you go back, hand it over to your patriarch, and he will lead all the horses, and those who violate the order will be beheaded, and the whole clan will be made into slavery." Zhang Wan said sharply: "I will arrive later and tell Xiao Jing that no matter whether Huang Hai lives or dies, he must entangle Liu Yan's subordinates to the death for me, and don't be afraid of casualties." How many people died, I will make up for him when I go back, but isn't Lu Yi Rizhi dead, after this war, Lu Bu will be merged into your tribe. The premise is, entangle Liu Yan for me. ”

"Little one got it!" Fanqi took the arrow, smiled happily, lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times, got up and trotted away happily.

"Order, assemble the middle army, the right army, follow me to attack Wulitun, and the left army guards the county seat!" Summoned his own soldiers, and Zhang Wanli gave the order.

Zhang Wan is an outstanding nephew in the Zhang family, but because of this, he thinks much more than ordinary generals. If it was an ordinary general, what he could think of at this time was how to ensure that there were no problems with Liuhe County and the Liuhe grain and grass camp. It wasn't his turn to worry about anything else.

But Zhang Wan is Zhang's nephew, what he thought of was that Weihu Mountain has always been a heart disease of the Liao Wangfu, he stood high in the core area of Liaodong with the banner of opposing the Liao King, but it was like a copper pea, it couldn't be smashed, it couldn't be cooked, it couldn't be bitten, and it was getting bigger day by day over the years.

At this moment, it is undoubtedly the weakest time in Liaodong, the elite army has already poured out, if Liu Yan breaks out of the shell and escapes to the land of Liaodong, it will be a big trouble.

Not to mention anything else, just this bandit team that has been wandering around since then, doing nothing else, and specializing in raiding and harassing and plundering the transportation and logistics of the army, is a great concern for the Liao army in front.

The lack of food and grass is the most terrible thing for the army.

So Zhang Wan wanted to seize this opportunity and annihilate Liu Yanju in Wulitun in one fell swoop.

Even if they can't be completely wiped out, it is good to force them back to Weihu Mountain again, and these mountain bandits who have suffered a great loss will never have the strength to launch a second attack.

It's a one-and-done solution.

Until this time, Zhang Wan never thought that Fanqi would betray the Liao army.

So I have to say that sometimes, an excellent general, a capable general, and a general who dares to take responsibility will do bad things. A mediocre, timid and unwilling to take on anything other than his duties can sometimes get things done.

Bad or successful things actually depend on the leader who employs the person, and where he puts the person.

The Liuhe camp is the transit station of the Liao army's grain and grass, which is naturally extremely important, and in Zhang Zhongwu's view, it is natural to put a capable and loyal general who can reassure him to sit in the town, and Zhang Wan is the only choice.

But it is this choice that will make him have to pay a heavy price in the future.

After Zhang Wan gave the order to attack, his fate had actually been decided.

In the night when he couldn't see his fingers, in the autumn rain, less than ten miles away from Wulitun, the 4,000 troops led by Zhang Wan were ambushed by Liu Yan's troops and Xiao Jing's fancai.

These 4,000 people can only be regarded as second-line troops, and they can be regarded as elite, only Zhang Wan's hundreds of personal soldiers, after a fierce battle in the middle of the night, Zhang Wan's entire army was annihilated, and he himself died in the chaos.

Liu Yan took advantage of the night again, pretending to be Zhang Wan's department, opened the city gate by fraud, and captured Liuhe County in one fell swoop. The Liao Army's grain and grass transit battalion in Liuhe County also fell into the hands of Liu Yan.

The sky was bright, but Liuhe County was a busy scene. The Fanqi and Weihu Mountain bandits are holding knives, and they are forcing the people in the county and the captured soldiers to load grain and grass onto large carts and transport them to Weihu Mountain continuously.

"General Liu, General Fan, there are too many grain and grass materials, and if we want to finish moving, our manpower will take at least ten days!" Xiao Jing's eyes lit up with excitement, a guy who had been poor all his life, when he suddenly saw such a huge amount of assets, which he couldn't imagine and couldn't describe, the fatigue of the night had long disappeared. All he knew was that he had become rich and that his tribe would no longer have to be poor and besieged.

"Where did the ten days come from?" Fan Jian sneered, "At most, in three days, the surrounding Liao army will come over like wolves smelling fishy, we have lifted people's bottoms, and people are not in a hurry with us?" ”

"What then?" Xiao Jing asked.

"One day and one night, you can move as much as you can, and if you can't move it, you will burn it out!" Fan Jian waved his hand and said, "So Patriarch Xiao, I suggest that your subordinates choose useful things to take." Don't catch what you are! Do you know what is most useful to us right now? ”

Xiao Jing was not stupid, he heard the meaning of Fan Jian's words, and said: "War materials!" ”

"Yes!" Fan Jiandao: "When we completely defeat the Liao army, what do we want?" What's the point of a little possessions? ”

"I see!"

"Patriarch Xiao, according to our previous agreement, after this battle, these tribes will be merged into your clan, this is our Datang reward for you, and next, we have a lot of important things to do!" Liu Yan said: "Go and tell your subordinates, hurry up and equip yourself stronger, our days will not be easy in the future." ”

Xiao Jing nodded vigorously and beat his horse away.

"It's really dog meat that can't be on the table!" Liu Yan looked at his back and said with some disdain.

Fan Jian smiled: "Don't blame him, you are too broad, where you can understand the feelings of people who have been poor all their lives!" can get to this point now, this Xiao Jing is worth our top look! ”

After attacking Liuhe and destroying a large amount of grain and grass of the Liao army, Xiao Jing and the people of several other tribes all withdrew into Weihu Mountain, Liu Yan Liu ordered 1,500 soldiers to guard the old nest under the command of his wife Yan Wu and Fan Tong, and he himself picked more than 1,000 mountain bandits who knew how to cavalry, and Xiao Jing's more than 1,000 cavalry together formed a cavalry, which disappeared without a trace.

When the news reached Liaowangcheng in Yingzhou, Zhang Zhongwen almost fainted.

The grain and grass of the Liuhe Transit Battalion need to be sent to the front line every day to support the consumption of the front line. The grain and grass on the front line can only last for ten days at most. And now that the entire Liuhe camp has been burned, it will take more than ten days to re-recruit grain and grass. What annoyed Zhang Zhongwen even more was that after Liu Yan's headquarters disappeared, he disappeared, suddenly on the left and on the right, and had successively attacked several teams transporting grain to the front, which made the supply of grain and grass to the front line even worse. If this team is not completely wiped out, the grain and grass in the rear will not be sent to the front smoothly.

Zhang Zhongwen issued the most severe mobilization order, and all localities quickly organized troops and horses to encircle and suppress this cavalry from all directions. And in order to achieve this goal, Zhang Zhongwen even sent out the last cavalry to guard the Liao Wangcheng.

In Liaodong, if you want to defeat one cavalry, you can basically only rely on another cavalry.

Liu Yan, Fan Jian, and Xiao Jing's days became sad day by day.

The role of those militias in various places was actually to compress the activity space of Liu Yan and others step by step, to limit them to a small range, and then the main cavalry sent by Zhang Zhongwen annihilated them in one fell swoop.

"We're about to enter Pingzhou!" Xiao Jing looked at Liu Yan with some confusion and said: "This is getting closer and closer to the main force of the Liao army, if Zhang Zhongwu sends another army to encircle and suppress us, then we will have wolves in front and tigers in the back." ”

Fan Jian smiled: "Patriarch Xiao, this is exactly what we want, what is our role now, is to make trouble, make the enemy's nest rumor, and attract, attract more enemies to encircle and suppress us." We can't beat it, we can't escape? ”
