Yan Liang and Zhang He retreated twenty miles with the remnants of the army, and then they got rid of the pursuit, and most of the cavalry had gone, and there were only more than 2,000 people left.

The defeat in the first battle made Yan Liang lose face, and he sighed: "This damn thief army actually uses such indiscriminate methods, it's really infuriating to me!" ”

Zhang He also looked melancholy, if he couldn't take Beixincheng, he would have to go north to Youzhou in vain.

"General Yan Liang, for today's plan, I can only plan slowly, and don't be angered by the words of the thief army."

"Hmm!"

Yan Liang nodded solemnly, his expression was deep, and his face was shabby, which made people shudder.

Now after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that it was all caused by my failure to restrain my impatience, otherwise I would not have ended up in such a big defeat.

……

Danhan Mountain, Kebi Nengbu.

30,000 Xianbei cavalry have gathered here, and the head of the Xianbei king has also agreed, saying that he will send troops to attack the back of this Han thief army, and when the time comes, he will attack from both sides and take down this thief army in one fell swoop.

"Your Excellency, according to the Tanmalai report, the Han cavalry is only more than eighty miles away from us, and according to their itinerary, they will be forced to Danhan Mountain at noon tomorrow at the latest."

The slave replied.

"It's coming so fast!"

Kebi can sigh, fortunately he prepared in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Kebineng immediately ordered: "Yu Zhujian, tomorrow you will lead 3,000 elite soldiers to ambush on the grassland in the east, and when the two armies are fighting, you will kill from behind." ”

"No!"

Yu Zhujian gave up his hand to take the order.

Kebineng said again: "Suo slave, you lead 3,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the jungle in the south, and wait until the thief army is defeated and retreat, and then wait for the opportunity to kill and cut off the retreat of the thief army." ”

"Yes!"

"Xiu Wulu, tomorrow the third watch will make food, and the fifth watch will set off, at the beginning of the old camp ten miles, line up the position, just wait for the arrival of the thief army, and then attack on a large scale, destroying the ground when it is tired."

"Order!"

Kebineng instructed again: "Tell me to go down, and when I see the thief Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun and others, just shoot them with arrows, and don't fight." ”

"Yes!"

The three of them took the order and began to hurry to get ready.

The next day, the 20,000 Xianbei army was assembled early, just waiting for Liu Yi and others to collide headlong.

But from the morning, until the sun went down, there was still no trace of the enemy, and the angry Xiuwu Lu was furious, and shouted in a long voice: "The thief, do you still come?" ”

"Come on, go and find out, where is the Han thief army?"

Xiu Wulu scolded and yelled again.

Several scouts galloped out of the sky, speeding towards the afterglow of the skyrim, and did not return until dark.

"Report, Lord Qiyu, the Han people have set up camp fifty miles away, I'm afraid they won't come today."

With the return of Tanma, Xiu Wulu was even more annoyed, and he wanted to immediately raise troops to kill him, but now that it was getting late, his men and horses had not eaten for a day, so they had to give up.

"That's it!"

Xiu Wulu shook his head and shouted in a long voice: "Pass my order, and the whole army will return to the camp." ”

"No!"

The 20,000 troops returned to the old camp of Danhan Mountain, and at the same time, Suo Nu and Yu Zhujian also returned together, tossing for a day, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, which was really unlucky.

Suo Nu held back the fire in his belly, and said loudly: "Lord Chief, did this Han thief army get any rumors, and it looks like it is about to reach Danhan Mountain, but it stops, it is really incomprehensible." ”

"Humph!"

Ke Bineng snorted lightly, the Han people are cunning and deceitful, not once or twice, if the Han people are really paper paste and muddy, why are even the powerful Huns defeated.

"Don't take it lightly, take turns on duty tonight, and strictly prevent the thieves from attacking the old camp at night."

Kebineng instructed.

"Lord Chief, the thief army has long been frightened, how dare you come, I don't think it's necessary!"

Yu Zhujian complained.

"The proud army will be defeated!"

Kebi can say word by word.

At that moment, the two of them did not dare to complain anymore, so they could only follow the instructions, one person was on duty for the first half of the night, and the other was on duty for the second half of the night.

……

A military camp sixty miles away from Danhan Mountain.

Liu Yi and Li Tao raised their heads to look at the bright moon, each thinking about it, and suddenly a meteor fell, although it was radiant, but it could not hide the fate of the loss.

"Military advisor, the Han Dynasty has fallen, and a new dynasty is about to be re-established."

Liu Yi swore that the falling meteor was like the Han Dynasty that lasted for 400 years, although it had a dazzling light, it eventually burned out and disappeared into the endless deep space.

"Yes!"

Li Tao replied in a deep voice: "Lord, after this war, we should go out of the state as a soldier, go deep alone, go straight to Sanfu, if possible, rescue the Son of Heaven from the chaos." ”

Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

Liu Yi turned around and glanced at Li Tao, this time, the two thought of the same point again, the effect of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is far more practical than recruiting thousands of troops and horses.

"Military advisor, the land of Youzhou, I'm afraid it's difficult to ......"

Without waiting for Liu Yi to finish speaking, Li Tao responded: "Although the land of Youzhou is poor and the people are few, it is indeed not enough to achieve a big thing, if the west takes and merges the state, and the land of Youzhou and the two states are used to complete the outflanking of Jizhou, and attack in the west and north directions, even if Yuan Benchu has an army of 100,000, it will be useless, when the time comes, he can only look south and retreat, and after the lord sits on Youzhou, Hebei, and the three places, he can send troops west into Liangzhou and occupy the northwest important land, so why worry about the world!" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Yi couldn't help but nodded, what Li Tao said was indeed the most beneficial line and policy for himself.

"Military division, it is reported that there are more than 100 generals and tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kebi Neng Division, I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight!"

Liu Yifeng turned around and returned the topic to the present.

Li Tao shook his head and smiled: "Lord, in fact, you didn't want to fight this battle at all, did you?" ”

"Oh?"

Liu Yiqiang smiled and said: "The military adviser misunderstood, I really want to fight, but I can't fight, Kebi can plunder in Youzhou and the two states all the year round, quite understand the Han culture, and is cunning and changeable, it is really difficult to deal with, I am afraid that once the fight starts, this 10,000 army, in the end, there will not be much left." ”

"I'm afraid that the lord has already planned something, and this time I'm afraid that it is not for Kebi to come, but someone else!"

Li Tao responded with a smile.

Liu Yi said calmly: "It seems that everything can't be hidden from the military advisor, time waits for no one, if there is time, I really want to compete with Kebi, but I can't wait so long, this time we only knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, so that Kebi can understand, I Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yi, is not a soft persimmon, if he knows each other, he will live by grazing in Danhan Mountain, if he is not interested, even if he does not go to Chang'an, I will uproot him." ”

The reason why Liu Yi wanted to fight a quick battle was that there was not much time left for the system task, the second was that the Jizhou army was afraid that it had already attacked Youzhou on a large scale, and the third was to rush ahead of Cao Cao to welcome Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty.

"According to the report of the probe horses we scattered in the past two days, there has been movement in Xianbei in the central part of the country, and there are about 10,000 cavalry coming towards our side."

Li Tao replied.

"It's good to come!"

Liu Yi said solemnly: "Leave a hundred people to stay in the camp and bluff, and the rest of the men and horses will withdraw before dawn." ”

"The lord is wise!"

Li Tao responded, and then said: "There is a plan to make the lord's empty camp plan more difficult to distinguish. ”

"Hurry up!"

Liu Yi hurriedly asked.

Only then did Li Tao slowly speak: "The hanging sheep beats the drum, and the hungry horse carries the bell." ”

Hanging sheep to beat the drum, hungry horse bell, is to hang the sheep up, so that the sheep's feet move and beat the drum; Hang the bell on the hooves of a hungry horse and make a sound.

Liu Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered people to prepare.
