Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "No, Ding Lingren took the initiative to contact us, showing the sincerity of the people, I insist, they just want to join forces with us to fight the Yan thief, if we only send two thousand people, it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth, Ding Lingren will also be disappointed in us, and our best opportunity to pacify Hebei in one fell swoop will be missed in vain." Teng Taishou, don't listen to Liu Yu's nonsense, he is just a small military master, and he is not qualified to discuss such a military affair at all! ”

Liu Yu said calmly: "Is there any qualification to discuss military affairs, does it have anything to do with a person's identity and status?" General Zhang, for the sake of your own desire to fight for merit, you have put the lives of the whole army at risk, and put the success or failure of the Northern Expedition in danger, and ask yourself, is this really appropriate? ”

Zhang Yuan's face was flushed with anger, and his black face was like burning black charcoal, and he roared sharply: "Liu Yu, don't think that with the Xie family as your backstage, you can be arrogant like this forever, one day, you will pay the price for your arrogance!" ”

If it was according to Zhang Yuan's previous temper, he was afraid that he would have taken out the sword and would cut Liu Yu earlier, but after all, Liu Yu came to shock the world, and secondly, the relationship with the Xie family was known to the world, and now Xie Xuan was sitting in the Xingyang area on the south bank of the Yellow River, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only shout a few words and let out his anger.

After Zhang Yuan finished yelling, he turned his head to Teng Tianzhi and said: "Teng Taishou, Liu Yu is too arrogant, I don't want to live with this person, the main force stays for you to guard Liyang, I bring four thousand soldiers and horses to pick up the Zhai brothers, how about it?" ”

Teng Tianzhi sighed: "General Zhang, there is no need to be like this, discuss everything carefully." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to say anything more, gave a military salute to Teng Tianzhi, turned around and left, Wang Yi frowned, and whispered to Liu Yu: "Brother Liu, take care, Miss Murong saved our lives, and we won't harm you no matter what." ”

Liu Yu nodded and said in a low voice: "You guys be careful, I have made it very clear just now, Ding Lingren has bad intentions, just run back at the right time, don't put yourself in danger." ”

Wang Yi sighed, followed Zhang Yuan and hurried away, above the city tower, about half of the military academy was also Zhang Yuan's subordinates, and went with him, and the rest of the people stood by Teng Tianzhi's side, together with their boss, watched Zhang Yuan get off the city tower, rode out of the city angrily, and went straight to the camp outside the city.

Teng Tian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and looked at Liu Yu: "Master Liu, if you don't open your mouth, you will be angry, General Zhang will be angry as soon as you open your mouth, now there are half fewer soldiers and horses in the city, if the enemy army is coming, what should I do?" ”

Liu Yu said calmly: "Although General Zhang left in a negative mood, but what I just said, I should have listened to it a little, he will take precautions against Ding Lingren, and he will never let the family end up, we are here, but safe, as long as Lord Taishou sends more sentry horses around to monitor the movement within a hundred miles, the north of Liyang City is a flat river, and it is not easy to sneak close, since Ding Lingren can't sneak attack here, then their best choice is to maneuver around Yecheng and wait for the outcome of the battle of Yecheng." ”

Teng Tianzhi said: "Didn't they want to lead General Zhang's men and horses to attack Zhongshan, Longcheng and other places, how could they go to Yecheng?" General Zhang won't go with them. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "Believe me, Teng Taishou, Longcheng, Zhongshan, there is no grain and grass that Ding Lingren wants, and there is no military exploits that General Zhang wants, as long as Zhai Zhen says that he can have a chance to flank and eliminate Murong Chui, General Zhang will not let go of this opportunity, but they have made a big circle, but I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with the battle of Yecheng." ”

Teng Tianzhi laughed and waved his hand: "Master Liu, although you have a lot of judgments that are reasonable, but this one, you are definitely wrong, the two armies on the front line of Yecheng are already in the stage of stalemate, plus there is Yecheng's Fu Pi behind him, Liu Yingyang and Murong Chui dare not act rashly, even if it is another three months, the current situation will not change much." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "No, Teng Taishou, Murong Chui is a famous general in the world, with my understanding of him, he will definitely not just sit back and watch our army cross the river, go out of Yecheng and be indifferent, even Ding Lingren has existed in his rear for so long, he has not taken any action, this is not at all like this famous general known as the god of war, I have an ominous premonition, he is afraid that there will be an action that surprises everyone, and in one fell swoop to destroy all the hostile forces in Hebei." ”

Teng Tianzhi's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief: "How is it possible?" All of Murong Chui's troops were either defending the city or concentrated on the front line of Yecheng, where did he get the troops to do such a sudden thing? ”

Liu Yu said calmly: "I hope my hunch is wrong, but I dare to say that if Murong Chui really has any strength hidden, then this force will not deal with Fu Pi of Yecheng, nor Ding Lingren, but our Liu Yingyang, as well as the more than 10,000 invincible Beifu troops under his subordinates!" ”

South of Yecheng, Sun is in the gate.

A huge battle flag, fluttering above the camp of the Beifu Army, a pattern of a white-fronted tiger hanging clear, a huge "Liu" character flying in the wind, yes, the tiger army led by Liu Jiaozhi, the strongest infantry corps in the world, the Beifu army that made countless people frightened, camped here.

In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, it was overcrowded, dozens of brigade commanders, generals and colonels above the army lord, all discussing matters here, Liu Jiao was dressed in a general's robe and big armor, on his purple face, his expression was cold, and his knife-like gaze swept over Tan Pingzhi, Xiang Jing, Liu Jingxuan, He Wuji and other excited faces, and their voices were like gold and iron intersecting, sonorous and powerful: "Everyone, I just received a report from the sentry that Murong Chui has left the new city and quickly evacuated to the north, do you have anything to say?" ”

Liu Jingxuan laughed: "The swallow thieves are scared and run away, let's just catch up and destroy them all, there is no one left!" ”

He Wuji shook his head: "No, since our army crossed the river, we have tried two battles with the Yan army, and they have won and lost each other, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they have not lost any main force. ”

Tan Pingzhi followed and said: "Wuji is right, Murong Chui has been on the battlefield for a long time, he is scheming, and he took the initiative to evacuate without suffering a big loss, I am afraid that he wants to lure our army into the ambush circle, and he must not be fooled." ”

Liu Yi, who was standing first on the left, smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, don't mythologize Murong Chui, he is not so powerful, our army set off from Guangling to cross the Yellow River in the north, but it took more than ten days, so fast, it was unexpected by Murong Chui." ”
