"Report, General Qiyu, for some reason, the Tang Army suddenly abandoned Zhu'a County last night, and the whole army went north!"

In the military office of Licheng County, Qin Qiong, who was sitting at the top, heard the scout's return, frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out clearly?" Li Jiancheng really led the army to withdraw! ”

The leading scout replied, "General Huiqin, it's true. The villain and the others really saw it, at the third watch last night, Li Jiancheng led the whole army to withdraw from Zhu'a County, and burned all the baggage that could not be taken away! ”

Hearing this, Qin Qiong touched the short beard under his chin, swept the generals in the hall, and said lightly: "What do the generals think of this matter?" ”

"General Qin, what else is there to discuss? Li Jiancheng's thief is Li Yuan's eldest son, the pseudo-Tang prince, such a big fish must not be let go! ”

As soon as Qin Qiong's words fell, Suo Chao, who had always been an impulsive pioneer, got up and said. This reckless man was seriously injured by Li Sheng in Licheng that day, and it took nearly three months to recover, and he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent.

Uncle Zhang, who was sitting diagonally opposite Suo Chao, smiled slightly when he saw this, got up and said, "General Suo doesn't have to be anxious, Li Jiancheng naturally can't let go of this big fish." It's just that Li Jiancheng was originally treating Ah well, but now the unprovoked withdrawal of troops is suspicious. We are entrusted by His Majesty, and we must act cautiously! ”

Di Qing bowed slightly: "What Sima Zhang said is extremely true. As far as I know, Li Jiancheng led the army into Qingzhou this time mainly because his second brother Li Shimin had made outstanding achievements and had threatened his position as the crown prince. In desperation, he could only personally lead the army to the expedition, in order to make some military achievements to compete with Li Shimin. So in my opinion, he will never leave unless he has to. ”

The young general Qin Huaiyu frowned and thought for a while, and raised his suspicions: "Then Li Jiancheng's withdrawal is fake?" In fact, he wanted to lure our army into pursuit, and he set up an ambush to ambush our army in a dangerous place? ”

Qin Qiong nodded and said, "It's possible, but it's not big." The Tang army led by Li Jiancheng and the remnants of the Song River they incorporated were only 50,000, which was almost the same as the strength of our army.

If you want to ambush and inflict heavy damage on our army, unless you rely on fire to attack and flood, as long as our army is careful and does not enter danger, Li Jiancheng has no chance of success. Liu Zhiyuan and Li Sheng under him are also people who know military affairs, but I am afraid that they will not use such a clumsy plan. ”

Di Qing opened his mouth and said: "In this way, the reason why Li Jiancheng withdrew his troops overnight was either because there were major changes within the Tang Dynasty or because he received reinforcements, and he already had the strength to encircle and annihilate our army. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang in Hebei is not willing to be lonely and sent troops to Qingzhou? ”

"Impossible!" Zhang Shuye shook his head categorically and said, "Don't say that Zhu Yuanzhang is busy restoring the livelihood of Hebei at this time and has no time to send troops, even if he does send troops, are our scouts along the Yellow River all blind and deaf?" ”

"In that case, what are we worried about?"

Luo Shixin was also a little impatient, stood up and said loudly: "How can you establish merit with suspicion? At present, Xue Rengui, Li Yaoshi, Yue Pengju and other armies are all good news, is it possible that we will always be left behind? ”

"That's what Shixin said!"

Qin Qiong no longer hesitated when she heard this, and got up and said: "Regardless of whether Li Jiancheng really retreats or fakes his retirement, if we don't chase it, it will undoubtedly be a loss of morale." My Great Sui soldiers are fierce and fierce, even if the Tang thief has an ambush, what are you afraid of? ”

The young generals Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong glanced at each other, and said together: "The last general is not talented, he is willing to be the vanguard of the army, and he vows to capture Li Jiancheng's traitor!" ”

"Good!"

Qin Qiong nodded and said, "This time, you two boys will be the vanguard, and General Di and I will lead the army behind." You two must remember to play steady and keep your distance from the main army. If you really encounter an ambush by the Tang army, you don't have to mess up your position, just hold on for a while, I can lead the army to kill, and when the time comes, the front and back attacks will definitely be able to break the Tang army! ”

The two young generals clasped their fists and said, "The last general understands!" ”

Qin Qiong turned his gaze to Uncle Zhang on the side again, and arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Lord Zhang to lead the army to sit in Licheng, beware of accidents!" ”

Uncle Zhang smiled at night, arched his hand, and said: "General Qin, don't worry, as long as the lower officials still have a breath, they will definitely not let the Tang army thieves mess up the back road of the army!" ”

"With the words of Lord Zhang, then I will be relieved!" Qin Qiong laughed, and immediately led a group of generals out of the hall, and killed the soldiers and horses out of Licheng County on the hour, all the way to the north.

Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, who served as the vanguard of the front, adhered to Qin Qiong's instructions and were cautious along the way. After walking for about 30 miles, only to hear a drum sound, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed down from the hillside in front of him, led by two generals, one holding a muddy iron gun, and the other holding two water-milled steel, it was Li Jiancheng's henchmen Yuan Lang and Liu Yuan.

Yuan Lang and Liu Yuan led the army to rush downhill, and when they saw Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, who were leading the Sui army, they looked childish, and immediately laughed and said: "There is no one in the Sui army, so they let two dolls come and send them to death!" ”

"Rats are looking for death!" When Luo Tong heard this, he was immediately furious, urged his crotch to get off the war horse, and rushed straight up.

"Ding Dong, Luo Tong has been detected to be in a state of angry eyes, force +5, base force 96, and the current force has risen to 101."

Seeing this, Liu Yuan still laughed, slapped his horse forward, and waved his gun to meet him, "The little doll's tone is not small, but I don't know how much this ability has?" ”

"Ding Dong, it was detected that Liu Yuan has entered a state of fighting, force +3, base force 93, and the current force has risen to 96."

"Ding Dong, Liu Yuan's four-dimensional ability was detected, 76 commanders, 93 in force, 58 in intelligence, and 43 in politics."

"This will let you, the rat generation, see your Grandpa Luo Tong's skills!" Luo Tong galloped to the front, roared, and the plum blossom spear in his hand shook out five spear flowers and stabbed out.

"How is it possible, this kid has such attainments in marksmanship at such a young age?" Liu Yuan was horrified when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward with a gun, and was killed by Luo Tong in a hurry.

"General Liu is panicking, Yuan Lang is here to help you!"

Yuan Lang saw that Liu Yuan's situation was not good, so he hurriedly rode his horse and danced to catch up.

"Ding Dong, Yuan Lang has been detected to have entered a state of bravery, force +4, base force 95, and the current force has risen to 99."

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu immediately snorted angrily, and stepped forward to intercept Yuan Lang, "Shameless Tang thief, do you want to bully more and less?" ”

"Ding Dong, Qin Huaiyu has been detected to have entered a state of struggle, force +5, the current base force is 96, and the current force has risen to 101."

On the high slope not far behind Yuan Lang and Liu Yuan, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was stationed on the horse to watch the battle, and saw that Liu Yuan was pressed by Luo Tong and had no power to fight back, Yuan Lang and Qin Huaiyu fought with less attack and more defense. couldn't help but be shocked, looked back left and right and asked, "Who are those two young generals?" How brave can you be? ”

A soldier who knew Qin Huaiyu Luo Tong hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the one who fought with General Yuan Lang was Qin Huaiyu, the son of Qin Qiong, the chief general of the Sui army, who fought against us, and the one who fought against General Liu Yuan was Luo Tong, the nephew of Luo Shixintang, the Sui general!" ”

Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed when he heard this: "It's really a general, then Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are both fierce generals of the Sui army, I didn't expect their juniors to be so powerful." On the other hand, my Datang, in the past few years, the warring talents with the Sui army have withered one after another, and there are fewer and fewer people available! ”
