Cao Xiaoda rushed over from the south of Cangxi Valley and mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

This is already the limit of what he can take, after all, there are fewer soldiers and horses under the command of Wei Chi than Wei Xiaokuan, and it is impossible for Cao Xiaoda to abandon the defense of the entire southern region, in order to squeeze out these soldiers and horses, he has already withdrawn all the troops in the peripheral checkpoints.

"General Cao," Cui Hongdu hurriedly greeted him, with an anxious look on his face, "Now Li Xinchen has launched an attack on several important checkpoints on the northeast side of Cangxi Valley, one of which has been overcome, but it was immediately abandoned, and the other few will probably fall into the hands of the enemy if they are not supported in time." ”

Cui Hongdu said this, Cao Xiaoda already knew that although these levels were not really taken, it was enough to prove that Li Xinchen began to be interested in these levels, so at least now Cui Hongdu no longer has the courage to withdraw the troops of these levels.

"Who's leading the troops?" Cao Xiaoda raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Li Xinchen to take the next step so quickly, and for a while there was no way to judge what He Louzi had gone through.

Cui Hongdu pondered and said: "It's strange to say, the previous attack checkpoints were attacked by the Ba people at night, but this time it was a strong attack during the day. Looking at the general flag, it should be Xiao Shilian. ”

"Siu Shilian ······" Cao Xiaoda muttered, "Then where is Li Xinchen?" ”

In any case, the passage in the middle of Cangxi Valley is the key point of contention between the two sides, and it stands to reason that Li Xinchen will definitely show up to command. But now Li Xinchen just asked Xiao Shilian to come and lead the army to attack, what can he say······

Cui Hongdu and Cao Xiaoda subconsciously glanced at each other, which could only show that Li Xinchen must have more important things to do, such as dealing with He Louzi.

He sent Xiao Shilian to attack these levels, maybe he wanted to make it impossible for Cui Hongdu to send reinforcements!

"General Cao!" Cui Hongdu's excited hands trembled a little, "It means that it should be too late now, then Li Xinchen shouldn't be able to defeat General He Lou for a while, so he will come up with such a way to organize us." ”

The expression on Cao Xiaoda's face became more and more solemn, if he was someone else, this would just be the most conventional practice, there was nothing to doubt, but now that the opponent was Li Xinchen, he had to let Cao Xiaoda be more vigilant.

Is Li Xinchen really just thinking so?

Or maybe Li Xinchen has other purposes in doing this, such as······ Cao Xiaoda frowned slightly, Li Xinchen didn't want Cui Hongdu to send troops, could it be that he was luring himself to send troops?

Cao Xiaoda was not naïve enough to think that Li Xinchen would choose to ignore the existence of the southern lieutenant Chi Yuan's department, Li Xinchen has always liked to control the entire overall situation in the palm of his hand, and he pays attention to the interlocking links, and it is impossible to focus only on the north.

Cao Xiaoda didn't know how much Li Xinchen knew about the contradictions between Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui and his subordinates, but he vaguely felt that this matter was definitely not so simple, and Li Xinchen's every step must have his calculations.

"General Cao?" Cui Hongdu's face was a little frozen, because he noticed that Cao Xiaoda did not want to give an order decisively, and Cui Hongdu still knew the contradiction between Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan, but now only Cao Xiaoda could help He Louzigan.

Although Cui Hongdu doesn't have much affection for He Louzigan, he knows very well that it is impossible not to save him now, otherwise once He Louzigan is completely annihilated, then he will have no way to explain to Wei Xiaokuan, and in the end, he will inevitably suffer.

Cao Xiaoda came back to his senses at this time, and barely squeezed out a smile: "General Cui, don't worry, a certain person will be considerate, and the situation on the other side of Liushugou is complicated, so it is not good to move forward rashly······"

"So General Cao doesn't plan to send troops?!" Cui Hongdu raised his eyebrows, with anger in his tone, now is the time when the soldiers are urgent, if Cao Xiaoda looks forward and backward, then this battle will not have to be fought.

After a moment of silence, Cao Xiaoda sighed softly: "It can be concluded that although Li Xinchen has not yet taken General He Lou, he must have surrounded General He Lou somewhere······"

"Report!" At this moment, a personal guard walked over quickly, and he also reached out to support an injured Northern Zhou general, who had dust and blood on his face, stared at Cui Hongdu with wide eyes, and almost subconsciously "plopped" and fell to the ground.

"General, save people!"

Cui Hongdu and Cao Xiaoda looked at each other, and hurriedly asked the guard: "What's the matter?!" ”

"General Qiyu, it was found by our scouts two miles northeast of the camp!" The guards hurriedly said, "This is the general who followed General He Lou on the expedition, and his subordinates knew that the matter was urgent, so they brought him in without a report." ”

Cui Hongdu and Cao Xiaoda both sighed in their hearts, and the northeast direction of the camp was the direction of Liushugou, indicating that this should really be the person who ran back from the rout.

And the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a frightened look on his face: "General, save people quickly, General He Lou is trapped, and there are hundreds of brothers!" ”

"Tell me clearly!" Cui Hongdu hurriedly stepped forward to help this building up.

The guards also spoke at this time: "General, there are still many defeated soldiers coming back one after another, please hurry up and find a way to settle it!" ”

Cui Hongdu's hand stiffened, and he subconsciously looked up at Cao Xiaoda.

Cao Xiaoda's face was already very solemn, and from the words of this general, he was already roughly clear about the situation in front of him.

He Louzigan went out with four or five thousand people, and only a few hundred people were left in the end, how tragic this battle was or how completely it was defeated can be imagined, but it is obvious that Li Xinchen does not want to take He Louzigan directly, or He Louzigan's own desire to survive is still very strong, in short, Cao Xiaoda has no choice now.

And Cui Hongdu could only sigh secretly in his heart, so many defeated soldiers were definitely not simply Li Xinchen's kindness or lack of troops, these soldiers who had just experienced a massacre and seemed to have failed miserably, they definitely did not have enough mental strength to go to the next big battle, Li Xinchen was telling them about the situation of this battle at the same time, and at the same time, he was also using these routs to affect the morale of the Northern Zhou army.

But it is impossible for Cui Hongdu to ignore this.

Cao Xiaoda said lightly at this time: "Order, gather troops, go to Liushugou, and send scouts to spread out in all directions along Liushugou, be sure to find out where General He Lou is going!" ”

"No!" The guards did not dare to slack off. And Cao Xiaoda looked at Cui Hongdu with a brick, just a solemn bow, and then strode out of the camp.

Jiang Taigong fished, and those who wished took the bait.

Now he can only make this fish, it depends on whether Li Xinchen has so much strength.
