Chapter 759: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

"Is it solved?" Xun Chen asked in a flat tone.

"The military advisor can rest assured that all those in the Chu army who are different in appearance and body shape from the Han people or whose language has a northern Hu accent are all focused on by the brothers. The Hu people in the opposing army, who were responsible for using falcons to detect and transmit news, would definitely not escape death. Han Meng said confidently.

Xun Chen nodded when he heard this, paced two steps in the tent, and said lightly: "I can rest assured that you are doing things." In this way, the connection between this Chu army and Liaodong will be cut off, and we can move on to the next step. ”

"What's next? Aren't we going to hunt down Sun Ce and them next? Han Meng was puzzled.

Yan Liang, whose half of his body was bandaged like a dumpling, immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said eagerly: "Military advisor, there are only six or seven thousand people left in this group of Chu troops now, and such a good opportunity cannot be missed!" Don't look at Zhao Zilong's performance on the battlefield so heroic, but if he really had this ability, he would have used it a long time ago. It broke out when I was forced to be in a hurry, which shows that that state must have a price and not a small amount, and I will definitely be able to take it down if I meet it again. ”

Xun Chen saw Yan Liang's unrelenting appearance, waved his hand and said, "Yan Liang, don't be impatient." You know that Wen Chou is now fainting, and you are anxious and want to avenge him. But you must not rush it and stay calm. ”

"In this battle, we lost less than 20,000 soldiers and destroyed more than 20,000 enemies, which can be regarded as a great victory. Strategically speaking, the main cavalry of Liaodong was eliminated, and at least for a few years, my Great Zhao no longer had to worry about the trouble in the north, which relieved the pressure for the subsequent decisive battle. The initial goal given to us by His Majesty has been achieved, and it is worth the trip. Without this cavalry, we can then let go of our hands and feet and maximize the results of the battle. Xun Chen first encouraged.

Don't look at the almost one-to-one battle losses under the ambush, not even including the cavalry of the Southern Huns. But in reality, it was an out-and-out victory.

They themselves know what the strength of the cavalry of the Zhao army is, and it is not a loss to be able to fight with Gongsun Chan in the past with three to one battle losses. There is no way, Yuan Shao's own characteristic is that there are many soldiers, and the quality is indeed a lot worse. Today's Jiangdong Iron Cavalry is not much worse than the Youzhou Iron Cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and a one-to-one battle loss is definitely a big victory.

"Strategist, you don't plan to pursue Zhao Yun and them?"

"Hmm." Xun Chen nodded: "In terms of understanding the terrain in this area of Liaoxi, we are not as good as the other party, and we can't catch up with the other party when they are trying their best to hide." If you don't get it right, the other party will use the terrain to ambush us in a wave. Zhao Yun and the others didn't expect to be ambushed by us, and the preparation of grain, grass and horses was insufficient, even if we didn't pursue them, we would find them by ourselves, after all, only we had enough grain and grass here. ”

"What are you going to do, Strategist?"

Xun Chen smiled weirdly: "Zhao Yun, this lone army has lost its means of contact and is trapped by us, do you say that the Chen Palace stationed in Liaodong will be in a hurry?" ”

"What do you mean?" Chun Yuqiong frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully.

"Send someone to send the news back to Youzhou, just say that we have won a big victory in the battle with Zhao Yun's army, Zhao Yun's army suffered heavy losses but escaped, and our army has also suffered a lot of losses, and is making every effort to search for Zhao Yun, Sun Ce and others, so that the Youzhou border army can strengthen its vigilance and send some soldiers to support." Xun Chen's eyes flashed with a glint and said, "I believe that with the Chu army's ability to be a spy, we will soon be able to get this news from us." ”

Nine truths and one falsehood can be the most deceptive, and Xun Chen's best thing is to mislead others, and is accustomed to using the wisdom and self-righteousness of these smart people to conspire. This was the case for Pang Tong before, and now it is the same for Chen Gong.

"Is the military advisor trying to divert the tiger from the mountain to take Liaodong?"

"Not bad! This place in Liaodong is like a nail in the reserve of our Great Zhao, and once our army is negligent, it may kill our army at any time. If it were possible, it would be a place to take it. Xun Chen said unabashedly.

"Chen Gong has always been cautious, he is unlikely to rush into the army."

"Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not send troops, but this time it was Yuan Shu's favorite righteous son who was stopped by us, and I estimate that he will come and give it a try." Xun Chen said.

"And what if he doesn't come?"

"The bait has been set, and he will naturally take the bait. Even if we don't take the bait, it won't hurt us much, and then the bait will fall in our mouths. Xun Chen said lightly.

……

Liaodong, since Zhao Yun sent troops, Chen Gong has always felt a little uneasy in his heart. After receiving a reply to the news that Jia Mu had arranged for a visit before Jia Mu left more than ten days later, Chen Gong immediately understood that his uneasiness was not groundless.

Yan Liangwen Chou, Han Mengchun, Yu Qiong and other generals are gone without a trace today, Xun Chen has not been to the court for several days, and the Youzhou army has lost many faces. Everything shows that the opponent's attack on Liaodong this time is by no means as simple as it seems, and there must be a big conspiracy behind it.

But it's a pity that the news came a little late, and Chen Gong didn't have time to inform Zhao Yun that the battle had begun.

And what Chen Gong was most worried about still happened. A big defeat, fortunately in the misfortune, Zhao Yun led the remnants of the army with Sun Ce and others to escape, hiding in the mountains and forests to avoid pursuit, waiting for rescue.

"Sir, my brother is trapped now, we need to go to the rescue soon!" Sun Quan, who is a small ghost, said immediately after understanding the situation. This historical lord of Jiangdong does not have the experience of his father and brother dying one after another, and his mind is still a little immature.

Chen Gong was also a little distressed at this time: "I also want to go to the rescue, but the most critical problem now is that we can't contact Zilong and them, and we can't control their movements and Zhao Jun's movements." The terrain in western Liaoning is so rugged and steep, and it is likely that the meat bun will beat the dog and never return. Moreover, our army now only has infantry troops stationed in Liaodong, and there is no cavalry to make a long journey. Similarly, the security of Liaodong is also a big problem. It's really hard to get to the rescue. ”

"What about the trolls?"

"Now that we are about to enter early winter, the rivers around western Liaoning have begun to freeze, and the navy is not easy to move."

"According to the information from Youzhou, although General Zilong successfully broke through the siege in this big battle five days ago, the number of cavalry under his command was only more than 5,000, and the horses, grain and grass were insufficient. They can only wander among the mountains and forests near western Liaoxi and hunt for food. The terrain is so rugged, and the horses are extremely scarce, once discovered, they can't escape from the pursuit, and we must save them. You know, Bo Fuke is still in the army! Dianman said in a solemn tone.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but sigh. Sun Ce was trapped, how could they not save him!
