Li Xun sighed and said: "Thanks to this captain surnamed Hu, if there is a chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely thank him." ”

Hu Xian is a captain of a hundred soldiers under Xu Chengliang, after the state city was broken, Xu Chengliang died in battle, Hu Xian broke through, separated from the army, and then went to Langzhou, Zhao Feidu abandoned the city and fled, Hu Xian was not ashamed of his behavior, did not follow, but left on his own, and sent someone to Li Xun here, to inform the situation, it is thanks to his report, otherwise, the Tubo army is coming tonight, Li Xun is unprepared, for a while, I am afraid that I will really suffer a big loss.

The two chatted for a while, and Hua Shaosheng came in to report: "Hou Quan is back, asking to see the handsome." ”

Li Xun was shocked, stood up, and said loudly: "Quickly call him in." ”

Hou Quan was Li Xun's personal soldier at the beginning, he has been diligent and sincere, Li Xun was in charge of Wuzhou, and in two years, with the help of Shan Qiu, he trained a group of hundreds of elite scouts, and Li Xun gave this army to Hou Quan to manage.

Hou Quan walked in, his body was stained with blood, his breath was messy, and he looked like he had just experienced a battle.

"The last general will meet the commander."

Hou Quan half-knelt and saluted.

Li Xun stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Look at your appearance, what's the matter?" ”

"When I was exploring, I encountered the enemy army, was chased by the other party for dozens of miles, and lost several brothers before I escaped."

Hou Quan put the matter aside.

There are nearly 400 people in the scout camp, the army is stationed in the field, Hou is the captain of the scout camp, since he should lead people out to inspect, as the leader, he must also lead by example, personally lead more than 30 people, all the way in, until he arrived in Langzhou City, and then was discovered, all the way back in a hurry.

The enemy army has been assembled outside the city of Langzhou, the number is about 20,000, and the movement is unknown.

Sima Tu said: "The enemy army gathered a large army at night, obviously with some plan, maybe it was coming at us. ”

"Now that we've found out, maybe it won't come."

Sima Tu said: "The lord must not be careless. ”

Li Xun nodded and said to Hua Shaosheng at the door: "Summons all the generals to me immediately." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Hua Shaosheng left in response.

A moment later, Zhao Wei, Shan Qiu, Yu Yanhui, Yuan He and other generals gathered.

The people discussed the military situation.

At this time, the last of the scouts returned to the camp with shocking news.

One hundred and fifty miles southeast of the camp, a Tibetan army of about 50,000 people was heading this way.

Hearing this news, everyone's expressions changed greatly.

Shan Qiu asked in a deep voice, "Have you been discovered?" ”

"Nope."

Shan Qiu asked again: "How fast is this army of 50,000 marching?" ”

"A normal march, at their pace, should not reach us until dawn, and when the subordinates left, this army divided into 10,000 troops and headed northwest."

After listening to the scout's answer, Shan Qiu didn't ask any more questions, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

Li Xun waved his hand, and the scout clasped his fists and bowed, turning to leave.

Li Xun glanced at everyone, his heart was heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "The enemy army is coming, whether to fight or retreat, what do you suggest?" ”

Yu Yanhui arched his hand and said: "Marshal, the two enemy forces are coming in a flanking attack, and the strength is several times heavier than ours, and it is impossible to defeat it, so it is better to retreat quickly." ”

Zhao Wei frowned, and said with some hesitation: "At this time, I am afraid it will be too late to withdraw the army." ”

"Yes, retreat at this time, and we will definitely be defeated."

Single-heartedness was silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Shan Qiu, waiting for him to solve his doubts.

However, Sima Tu spoke at this time: "The enemy army in the southeast direction is just marching normally, and it is not difficult to guess that they and the army in Langzhou should have made an agreement in advance to launch a general attack on us at dawn, according to the time gap between the scouts and returns, the enemy army in the southeast should still be one hundred and twenty miles away from us, with the speed of cavalry, it only takes two hours at the earliest, and the 10,000 troops are divided to the northwest halfway, obviously preparing to occupy the favorable terrain first and cut off the road to Xiaogu County, so.....”

Sima Tu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We have no way out now. ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were extremely heavy.

Shan Qiu glanced at Sima Tu, although this person is not very familiar with the military, but he is good at analysis, and through the news brought by the scout, he has almost analyzed the situation.

Li Xun saw the different color on Shan Qiu's face, and asked out loud: "Shan Qiu, what do you suggest?" ”

Shan Qiu looked at Li Xun and said: "The Tibetan thieves obviously already know our movements and location, the two armies, nearly 70,000 troops, are attacking from front to back, we can't retreat, we can't defend." ”

Li Xun pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, Langzhou was lost, the retreat was cut off, his 30,000 people had become a lone army, the opponent's strength was twice as large, and the situation was already extremely critical.

Yu Yanhui sighed and said with a wry smile: "If you can't retreat, if you can't keep it, you can't retreat, what can you do about it?" ”

Li Xun didn't speak, his eyes looked at Shan Qiu, the latter was also looking at him at the moment, Li Xun didn't see any fear and timidity from Shan Qiu's face, some were just endless.... Perseverance and determination.

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Lao Dan, what do you want to do?" ”

Shan Qiu stretched out his fist, clenched it tightly, and said loudly: "For today's plan, if you can't retreat, if you can't defend, then you can only move forward and change from passive to active." ”

Li Xun was stunned and said in surprise: "Take the initiative to attack? ”

"Yes, take the initiative."

Shan Qiu said loudly: "The enemy army in the southeast, obviously the main force, will take two hours to arrive at the earliest, so that we have two hours of space, Langzhou, there are only 20,000 troops, our forces have an advantage, as long as we can solve the battle within two hours, the situation is reversed, it may not be known." ”

Sima Tu's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Putting it to death and then hurry, surprise it, attack it unprepared, this plan is very good." ”

Li Xun walked back and forth, pondering, and after a while, Li Xun stopped his steps, glanced at everyone, and saw the intention from their faces, in fact, this strategy of single revenge is the only way out at present.

Li Xun gritted his teeth, slammed his fist on the table, and said fiercely: "That's it." ”

Li Xun made a plan here, and in Langzhou, 20,000 troops were rushing to Li Xun, and they had already traveled more than 30 miles.

Li Xun led an army of 30,000 troops, and the whole army was dispatched, giving up all grain and grass materials, which can be described as a lonely throw.

There are 20,000 troops of the Qiu Bai tribe, 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.

Its 10,000 cavalry marched more than 50 miles, and the 22,000 infantry led by Li Xun marched for an hour, and they also advanced 30 miles, and the two armies were separated by less than 20 miles, and a big battle was about to begin. 2k reading web
