When Sun Huan and Zheng Qi were arguing, Sun Zhongshan did not say anything together.

He can figure out the reason for building a wooden bridge. Spring on the grassland came late, the Deer River had not yet risen, and the river was not even half an arrow away. The current is also gentle, and in some places the water is so shallow that it does not cover the riverbed, and it seems that you can cross it with a single step. However, others may not know it, but he is full of awe for this seemingly inconspicuous river. Just the day before yesterday, after defeating the small earthen fort by the river, he ordered the pursuit of the remnants of the enemy, but before a battalion could cross the river, dozens of horses fell, and the river was so cold that even the horses could not endure the cold. There were also many horses on the other side with weak legs, more than 400 cavalry, and half of them became foot soldiers when they crossed the river. He thinks back to that scene now, and he feels like his vest is chilling. What if the Turpets suddenly killed back at that time......

But he couldn't figure out why he wanted to build two wooden bridges over the Deer River. And he didn't understand why Shang Cheng would set up a large camp on the north bank of the Luhe River. The task of the Middle Route Army is to make a feint, as long as the enemy's main force is transferred back from the east, and Li Shen of Yandong is given the opportunity to raid the Bailan River Valley, then no matter what the result is, it is time to return to Yanshan. But now the army has reached the Luhe River, the forward battalion is less than seventy miles away from Mogan, but there is no news of the troops in Duanzhou, and the general does not seem to be in a hurry, not only let people build a bridge over the river, but also do not allow the front to disengage with the Tuqi people, and do not allow the Tuqi people to run away, which is really a bit ......

He immediately cut off his train of thought and turned his gaze to the focus of Sun Huan and Zheng Qi's argument: the two bridges on the river.

Both bridges are made of wooden planks, and the triangular wooden frame poked in the water has not even been cut clean, and the branches and branches are tied together, giving people a shaky and shabby feeling when they look at it. The one on the left had been erected yesterday morning, and although the deck was too narrow for carriages to cross, and the horses had to unload their wheels and be led across, the larger bridge on the right had not yet been half-planked, so this bridge was now the key link between the two sides. At this time, the rain had completely stopped, and a large number of soldiers lined up on the south bank to prepare to cross the river, and the people carrying arrows and carrying food bags also walked towards the river in groups. Although the officers supervising the traffic on both sides were shouting and shouting with their whips, the chaos in the hurry did not improve.

He suddenly asked, "On the other side of the river, are the rear army and the baggage battalion?" ”

Sun Huan and Zheng Qi both squinted their eyes and looked around. Sun Huan said uncertainly: "Look at the flag, it should be them." Zheng Qi frowned and said, "It's them." But why do they have to cross the river? What did they do across the river? ”

Sun Zhongshan also couldn't figure out the reason why the rear army crossed the river.

He didn't want to think about it, because there was no need for it. He couldn't have figured it out either. Don't look at him now commanding a cavalry brigade, he is also a general in terms of identity, and he is more or less a figure in the Yanshan Guard, but he has self-knowledge that he can get to this day, not because of how much ability he has, nor because of how much credit he has made, but because he has luck and chance to be appreciated and reused by the general, otherwise, he is probably still guarding the beacon tower in West Malaysia now...... So he not only has a deep respect for Shang Cheng, but also a deep gratitude, basically what Shang Cheng says, he does, and never says anything in front of people to question Shang Cheng's judgment and decision. It's the same now. He thought, whether it is to repair the bridge or to transfer the army, the general will always have the general's consideration when doing this! When a general gives such a military order, there must be a reason for a general! He didn't have to think about why the general made such a decision, he just needed to implement it carefully according to the military order!

He thought like this, as if he had forgotten one point: if his current achievements had nothing to do with his own efforts, but were all about the little friendship he had with Shang Cheng at the beginning, then Shang Cheng's personal qualities would be questionable. And to be honest, just by virtue of his friendship with Shang Cheng, he probably won't be promoted to general or become a brigade commander.

None of the three of them spoke, just looking at the noisy wooden bridge by the river, not knowing what they were thinking.

It was now the middle of the day, and under the warm sunshine, the mist brought by the rain had completely dissipated, and the sky covered the vast grassland seemed to have been washed away by the spring rain that had just passed, and it was as clear and transparent as the river water under the great meadow. The Luhe River, which originates at the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, is like a blue ribbon, flowing slowly along the large meadow where the military camp is located, and a few miles to the west joins the Heishui River, which also originates from the Yanshan Mountain Range. It seems that because of the rain that has just passed, the large area of miscellaneous forests on the south bank of the Luhe River suddenly glows full of green. A few gray cranes flapped their wings and circled in the treetops, presumably looking for last year's "home". It seems that no matter how stubborn and unwilling the cold winter is, it is powerless to stop the pace of nature's seasonal changes, and finally has no choice but to withdraw from this land......

There are also two piles of rubble on the calm river. There are also stone piers on both sides. The messy slate stone bars were laid on the stone pier at one end and buried in the water at the other. This is the original stone bridge over the river; The day before yesterday, the bridge was demolished before the people retreated.

After a long time, Zheng Qi asked out loud again, "You say, could it be that Duan Xiu encountered an enemy from Blackwater City?" ”

Sun Huan's eyes rolled and said, "It's not from Blackwater City, where else can it be?" ”

Sun Zhongshan nodded with a deep groan. He agreed with Zheng Qi's idea because he felt the same way. At the military meeting before the attack on Luhe, the matter of reinforcements from Blackwater City was put forward and discussed, and the general did not say that Xu Sheng was not allowed to lose, nor did he ask the departments to only advance and not retreat, and Duan Xiu led seven battalions of more than 3,000 cavalry, even if he encountered a large number of large tent soldiers from Blackwater City, he might not be able to win, but there would be no problem in self-preservation, and there was no need to panic and rush to the book. But if it weren't for the enemies of Blackwater, where else could it be? Could it be ......

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and a terrible thought suddenly popped into him!

If it wasn't the soldiers of Blackwater City, could it be the reinforcements sent by the Da Tengliang Department and the Wannuer Department? Since the Da Tengliang Department and the Wannuer Department have sent troops, will there be any movement in the three departments of Alegu?

He was taken aback by his thoughts. Together, these five Turkish tribes were able to send more than 20,000 horses, almost twice the number of Zhao's army; Coupled with the enemies in the Mogan direction, the total number may exceed 30,000. The Zhao army is only 14,000 even if the logistics baggage is counted, with 14,000 against 30,000, the enemy still occupies the geographical advantage and people, and the time is not on his side, this time the force is very different, and the offensive and defensive momentum will inevitably be reversed! In an instant, a thought flashed in his mind: Could it be that the defeat of Mogan the year before last is going to be staged again on the bank of the Luhe River today?

Zheng Qi, who always looked like he didn't care about anything, was bluffed by his bold assumptions, and his face changed, and he was silent for a long time before eating Ai Ai and said, "No, no, right?" Da Tengliang Department and Wannuer Department, no, weren't they pinned down by Ximen Sheng in the direction of Fangzhou? ”

Sun Zhongshan narrowed his small eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "There are less than ten battalions left in Fangzhou's guards, and there are so many state and county fortresses to garrison, even if Ximen Sheng is a clever woman, he can't do this rice-free cooking!" I'm afraid that if he over-bluffs and is coveted by the people of Tu Quan, not only will Fangzhou be difficult to protect, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that we ......" In the end, he couldn't go on.

Every word he said seemed to pop out of his teeth, listening to Zheng Qi and Sun Huan's ears, but it was tantamount to a thunderbolt.

"Suffering from the sissy plague, I'm afraid this thing is going to be troublesome!" Sun Huan pinched the wine gourd and muttered, "If Fangzhou is not guaranteed, Yanzhou will also be finished." Yanzhong is finished, no matter how well Li Shen fights in the east, it's not worth it......"

As if to confirm his words, on the other side of the river, a few healthy horses sprang over the mud road trampled by the army, and galloped straight to the crowded place of soldiers and civilians by the river. The rider on horseback did not get off the horse, went around two circles by the bridge, could not see the bridge, whistled and jumped into the Luhe River, one by one, the people next to him shouted to stop it, it was too late, one by one, the water tread the waves, and before they got out of the two feet, two horses fell into the water one after another...... The deer river, which was more than ten feet wide, fell six horses back and forth, and finally only one horse climbed up the north bank with difficulty. The rider on horseback simply ignored the faltering horse, and the whip snapped wildly, and he only urged vigorously, and at last even the officer on duty at the gate could not look at it, and ran up a few steps to dissuade him. I don't know what the guy said, but the officer suddenly turned around and ran towards the gate, waving his hand and shouting as he ran, tripped under his feet without paying attention, and fell on the spot with mud on his face. But he didn't even have time to wipe the mud off his face, and he was still shouting at the top of his throat when he knelt in the mud......

The place where the three of them sat was some distance from the gate, and the shouts that drifted in the wind were not very clear, but the scene of the soldiers hurriedly clearing the passage was clearly visible. A few rejection horses outside the gate had just cracked, and the rider, who was half drenched, forced his horse to squeeze in......

The three of them looked at each other, and an opinion popped up in their hearts at the same time: things have changed drastically!
