The general was born bold and heroic, and his waist was crossed by the autumn water goose sword.

The wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes, the flag is high, the sun and the moon are high. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

The unicorn in the sky is originally seeded, and the ants in the burrow can not escape.

On the day of the return of the edict, I and the general untied their battle robes.

Let's say that after a major battle in Xi'an, the official army was defeated and retreated, and the Qin army and the peasant army won a great victory.

After the Qin army stopped pursuing, Bai Qi took Lei Sheng, Wang Leopard, Wu Xinlan, and met Wang Qian, Li Yan and others. When Li Yan saw Bai Qi, he felt a little guilty in his heart, because he had suspected others, but fortunately he didn't make a big mistake.

Soon after, Li Zicheng also led several of his important generals to come, and everyone entered the Qin army camp to rest and celebrate.

At this time, the battlefield was busy, and all the armies were busy cleaning up the battlefield. Li Zicheng instructed that half of the spoils collected by his subordinates should be distributed and given to the Qin army. He did this to thank Qin Jun for his kindness.

On this night, the Qin army camp was brightly lit, the whole camp was very lively, there were banquets set up everywhere, the generals drank freely in the big tent, and the soldiers were more around the fire, sitting on the ground, with roast sheep on the fire, and wine jars around them, talking and laughing one by one, drinking wine, eating meat in large pieces, and being happy.

In the Chinese military tent, several generals gathered together and talked and laughed. Talking about this hard-won victory. Everyone drank very happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yan raised his glass, walked to the center, and made a circle to the four sides: "Generals, leaders, we have worked together in this battle to achieve a great victory." I think that in the future, as long as the Qin army and the righteous army join forces, they will definitely win more battles and lay more territory. Cheers to this, everybody. ”

Everyone laughed in unison and drank together.

Li Yan gave a full bottle of wine one by one, and then said: "We defeated Lu Xiangsheng, and there are still Hong Chengchou's men and horses in the north at the moment, but in my opinion, Hong Chengchou will withdraw his troops soon." ”

Li Zicheng continued: "Li Gongzi is right, our side wins, we can free up our hands, Hong Chengchou must be afraid of being surrounded, I want to be in a few days, he has to withdraw his troops." ”

Li Yan said: "Li Chuang said this very much. If Hong Chengchou leaves, there will be no more officers and troops in Xi'an. As for how to develop in the future and how to join forces, I am here to say a word, please take a trip to Xi'an City, let's go to see King Qin and plan together. What do you think? ”

Li Zicheng did not hesitate: "It's so excellent." I, King Gao Chuang, the Eight Kings, and their combined strength are 100,000, so many people and horses, it is impossible to stay near Xi'an all the time, so we will sit on empty seats. Sooner or later, you have to fight out. As for where to hit, we'll discuss it when the time comes. ”

Li Yan was very happy to hear him say this.

The wine was drunk until late at night, and then everyone went to their tents to rest.

On the second day, they rested for a day, and on the third day, the Qin army and Li Zicheng's men began to return to Xi'an to reinforce Gao Yingxiang.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had already received the news of Lu Xiangsheng's defeat, he was taken aback, he didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng to lose, let alone lose so quickly. He fought against Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others here, fought a few battles, took advantage of some small advantages, but there was no decisive battle. Because he doesn't want to take credit.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was a red man in front of the emperor, during the battle of the Carriage Gorge, Lu Xiangsheng was not in front of the army, causing 100,000 peasant troops to escape, although Lu Xiangsheng was not punished, but his face was also gloomy, because after all, he was the commander of the whole army, the governor of the six provinces, responsible for the overall encirclement and suppression of the war. Therefore, Hong Chengchou had already thought that Lu Xiangsheng was determined to take the lead this time. He is going to march fast, and Lu Xiangsheng will think that he will compete with him, and there is no need for this.

But now Lu Xiangsheng was defeated and fled, leaving only his own lone army, facing the four main forces of the peasant army, as well as the powerful Qin army, even if he thought about it with his toes, it was impossible for him to win. Therefore there is only the withdrawal of troops. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Zicheng and the Qin army did not surround themselves from behind, they quickly withdrew.

So Hong Chengchou sent a force of men and horses to attack Gao Yingxiang's camp that night, saying that it was an attack, but it was better to say that it was an attack, as long as it could attract the peasant army.

And he led all his men and horses, pulled out the camp, and retreated to the north.

After Gao Yingxiang's camp was attacked and disturbed, he immediately counterattacked, but the officers and troops were sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and did not run far, just tossing you back and forth. Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were afraid that it was Hong Chengchou's plan to lure the enemy, so they did not pursue, but just stuck to the camp and waited for dawn.

But after dawn, the peasant army found that Hong Chengchou's men and horses had disappeared overnight. Gao Yingxiang hurriedly sent a scout horse to investigate, but when the scout horse came back, he reported that Hong Chengchou had led the men and horses to withdraw dozens of miles.

At this time, it was no longer possible to catch up with the official army, Gao Yingxiang and others had no choice but to shake their heads, secretly admiring Hong Chengchou's treacherous use of soldiers.

In any case, this battle can be regarded as a victory, and it is not easy to force Hong Chengchou to withdraw his troops overnight.

Several peasant soldiers began to pack up their horses and return to the city of Xi'an. When they arrived, they found that Li Zicheng's men and horses were already outside the city.

Li Zicheng had already handed over the war report to Gao Yingxiang, Gao Yingxiang was very happy to know that they had defeated Lu Xiangsheng, and everyone gathered in Gao Yingxiang's camp to celebrate the victory.

Early the next morning, Li Yan came with the Red Lady to convey the will of the King of Qin, and asked you to gather at the Qin King's Mansion tomorrow morning to discuss the future development plan.

At this time, the Xi'an Governor's Mansion had been renamed the Qin Palace. Gao Yingxiang and the others happily agreed, this time there is no need to worry about what tricks King Qin will have, everyone works together against the official army, which is not only an alliance, but also a brother.

Not to mention how the rebels planned, let's talk about Lu Xiangsheng.

Since receiving the holy decree, Lu Xiangsheng has finally relieved himself, but he can see from the words of the holy decree that the emperor is so lenient and benevolent, and there is no way. After all, among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many handsome talents like him. And it's a worse mess right now, and no one wants to take it over. I can only carry it myself.

It doesn't matter if you lose once, but if you lose the battle next, don't say that those officials don't agree, the emperor doesn't agree, and even himself won't agree. At that time, even if the officials did not impeach him and the emperor did not punish him, Lu Xiangsheng himself would commit suicide to apologize.

Therefore, in the next battle, he must not be defeated again, not only can he not be defeated, but he must also win a big victory to earn face for himself again.

So after he gained a foothold in Tongtongguan, he vigorously reorganized military affairs, recruited new soldiers everywhere, and stepped up training.

That night, he invited Sun Chuanting, Zu Kuan, Fan Ju and several other important people to his mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Xiangsheng first wanted to inspire people, he said in a deep voice: "The holy decree has been issued, and the grace of heaven is mighty, let me wait for the guilty to make meritorious contributions, this is the generosity and benevolence of the saints." We can only be grateful and swear to die. But at present, our army is suffering a new defeat, its morale is low, its armor is heavy, and its losses are overwhelming. The purpose of inviting you here today is to discuss how we can turn defeat into victory and eliminate the thieves. ”

When he said this, the other three were silent. This is going to be replaced, Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others have already jumped up and scolded their mothers, clamoring to attack.

But Sun Chuanting, Fan Ju, and Zu Kuan, including Zu Kuan, are all calm people, they are not without temper, but they don't lose their temper easily.

Zu Kuan thought for a while before he said: "My lord, after this battle, my three thousand Guan Ning iron cavalry lost six or seven hundred, and Liu Yihu died on the battlefield. It hurts me. At present, the anti-thieves are sitting on more than 100,000 horses, and their morale is high, and in my opinion, they cannot attack in a short time. ”

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and asked the other two, "What do you say?" ”

Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju replied at the same time: "It is not appropriate to attack. ”

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other again, bowed their heads and said nothing.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Actually, how can I not understand this truth, the thief is in full swing at this time, and he must not be lightly attacked." But I can't help but consider the meaning of the Holy One. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "My subordinates have a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "General Sun has something to say, whatever he wants, he can say anything." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "In my opinion, let's adopt the plan of Cao Mengdeping and Yuan Shao to set the four states. ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "General Sun is saying that retreat is advance?" ”

Fan Ju asked: "Who is Cao Mengde, and what are the four states?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Cao Mengde is the person after Mr., Mr. doesn't know, and it is also the truth." But I would like to ask sir, what is the best plan? ”

Fan Ju sneered slightly: "Strategy, I use one, but I don't know what your emperor thinks." ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his hand gently: "Don't care what the saint thinks, Mr. has a plan, everyone will listen to it when he says it, and then make a decision." ”

Fan Ju coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "One of the main reasons why the Qin army and the peasant army were able to defeat us this time was because of Bai Qi's sudden appearance. And more importantly, the two sides of them work together to fight the enemy. The reason for this is that the officials and soldiers have pushed them too hard. They don't unite, there is only a dead end. Now that they're winning, they're getting carried away. Therefore, as long as we withdraw our men and horses far away, or create false news that the official army has left Shaanxi, then the Qin army and the peasant army will not be so close immediately. ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting glanced at each other, their hearts were full of joy, and they felt that Fan Ju was very powerful, although he had not read history books and did not know the deeds of Cao Mengde to kill Yuan Shao, but the strategy he said was the same.

Those who know the Romance of the Three Kingdoms know that after Yuan Shao's death, the two sons were incompatible. The strategist gave Cao Cao an idea and asked him to pretend to withdraw the army, but as soon as he heard that Cao Cao had withdrawn, the two sons of the Yuan family fought hard, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to seize the four states, and the two sons were also defeated and killed one after another.

Fan Ju didn't know about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he came up with the same strategy, and he could only say that the hero saw the same thing.
