It only took two hours for Richard's troops to defeat the unprepared defenders of the Red Turban Army, and their scrambling to flee for their lives was no different from the previous Yuan army, so that Dong Xiaoxiao's troops had just launched the first round of tentative attacks on Yingzhou when they received the news of Richard's success.

In addition to the praise of Dong Junxiao, Li Chahan's victory was not waved in the hearts of all the generals of the Yuan court, because Luoshan was just a small place, and such a victory was too small for them to move their eyelids.

But on the contrary, the loss of Luoshan County was undoubtedly bad news for the side of the Red Turban Army that was defeated by Gongbuban one after another.

In order to prevent chaos in the rear, Liu Futong had to send Li Wu and Cui De to lead 2,000 men and horses back to the rear, which undoubtedly reduced the combat strength of the defenders of Runing Mansion by another section.

After learning of the return of the Red Turban Army, Li Chahan and Li Siqi made the decision to withdraw from Luoshan County together.

After plundering all the grain and grass, they decisively abandoned the newly captured Luoshan County and retreated in the direction of Dong Junxiao's headquarters to avoid the pursuit of the Red Turban Army.

Li Wu and Cui De led their men and horses to attack Luoshan again, but found that the enemy had already run away without a trace, so they had to bring people to station to prevent another sneak attack by the Yuan soldiers.

Liu Futong was very dissatisfied with such a result, and the successive defeats had made his prestige in the army plummet, and several Red Turban soldiers had proposed to discuss the strategy of Du Zundao, a military advisor.

Of course, Du Zundao's vicious methods are included in this, but looking at the pale faces of his generals, Liu Futong himself couldn't help but fall into uneasiness.

After another sleepless night, Liu Futong walked out of the Shuaifu, climbed to the top of the city alone in the cold wind, and locked his eyes on the camp of the vanguard of the Yuan army in the distance.

This hateful Gong Buban! There is such a ruthless character in the Yuan Court who can fight well!

Liu Futong couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of this, in the past half a month, his side had hardly tasted a victory, Li Wu, Cui De, Guan Duo, and Pan Cheng were all defeated by Gong Buban, and even Li Tieniu, who had always been brave, had been defeated yesterday.

Is battlefield command child's play? Although many generals of the Red Turban Army won many battles, most of them relied on numbers and morale to win, and they had no experience in frontal combat with elite soldiers.

As far as Tie Niu is concerned, he has the experience of winning in the duel with Yuan Bing, but it was all relying on Wen Xuan's strategy to charge into battle, and it was Sheng Wenyu and others who arranged the formation.

Although he had a draw with Gong Buban when he was on Cai, how could Gong Buban give him the opportunity to fight alone on the battlefield?

When it came to commanding the battle, before Gong Buban could attack, Tie Niu was already in a hurry.

After the enemy launched an organized attack, the only way to wait for the iron bull was to retreat.

Liu Futong, who tasted defeat, felt that it was difficult to resist the attack of the Yuan soldiers in the front, so he had to ask Wen Xuan and Han Lingyue in Xuzhou for help.

Wen Xuan was not idle in the cold winter wax moon season, with the cooperation of Mao Gui, he attacked the nearby prefectures and counties of Xuzhou, and raised a large number of rebels, and the transportation at the confluence of the Yellow River and the canal has also been blocked.

But to everyone's surprise, Timur didn't seem to have the slightest intention of dividing his troops, and the 100,000 troops of the Yuan court were only slowly advancing towards the main force of the Red Turban Army.

……

"When are you leaving?" Han Lingyue asked reluctantly.

"Without further ado, I'm worried that the situation will take some new changes, so I'll take Han Er out of the city overnight." Wen Xuan knows that time is pressing.

"I'll send you."

"Isn't it a joke for the dignified saint to send two little monks out of the city?" In order to reduce Han Lingyue's worries, Wen Xuan stayed by the side for a while before getting up to say goodbye, pushing open the door and walking out.

"Come back early." Han Lingyue looked at Wen Xuan's departing figure, her beautiful face became a little depressed, and she said to herself.

After saying goodbye to Han Lingyue, Wen Xuan immediately took Han Er out of the city.

"How long does it take to get from here to Shangcai?" Wen Xuan began to inquire about various matters in order to be more prepared.

"Back to the little master, no, senior brother, if it is a normal time, if you don't take a detour and change horses frequently, you can get there in four days at the earliest." Han Eryi was not very comfortable with explaining the identity he wanted to impersonate for a while, and said hesitantly, "If it is a detour, plus there is no way to change the horses, it took more than ten days when I came." ”

"How long is it going to take?" Wen Xuan frowned after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "Seeing that the beginning of winter is approaching, I expect that as soon as the autumn harvest is over, the Yuan army will definitely launch a new round of offensive before the wax moon." Let's stop taking a detour, take a shortcut. ”

Although Han Er was even more worried about Han Yan'er's safety, he still patiently persuaded him, "Senior brother, but if you go straight to Shangcai, you will inevitably meet Yuan Bing ...... along the way."

Wen Xuan smiled when he heard this, and asked, "Why did you call me?" ”

Han Er was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly, "Didn't you tell me that since I left Xuzhou, I should always remember this new identity?" I'm Daohong now, and I'm really called Senior Brother, that's right! ”

"Isn't this the end of it? You and I are both disciples of Buddhism, and we are not the Red Turban Army that the Yuan soldiers want to encircle and suppress, so why should we be afraid to see the Yuan soldiers? Wen Xuan explained with a chuckle.

"That's right! I didn't think of that! We are monks now, so we don't have to be afraid of the Yuan soldiers! Han Er said in surprise.

Looking at Han Er, who didn't look like a monk, Wen Xuan touched the top of his bare head and smiled bitterly, and his heart said that the vows that he had not received when he was a novice were made up for this time.

……

According to the shortcut pointed out by Han Er, the two of them who traveled under the stars and nights had already covered most of the distance in less than three days. It was at this time that the variables returned.

"Senior brother, someone is here." Wen Xuan was leaning against the tree to take a nap, when Han Er's anxious cry suddenly sounded in his ears.

Wen Xuan immediately sat up to get rid of his sleepiness, and looked in the direction that Han Er was pointing with his eyes wide, only to see a large group of people rushing towards this side.

"Don't panic, it's not Yuan Jun." Wen Xuan patted Han Er's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"But judging by their appearance and clothing, they don't look like Han Chinese." Han Er was still a little worried, he was not good at lying at all, and the thought that he might have to pretend to be a monk to talk to people later became more and more nervous, so that the tip of his nose was covered with a layer of fine sweat.

"Don't be nervous, Senior Brother Daohong." Wen Xuan turned his head to look at the nervous Han Er, and reminded him in a deep voice not to forget his identity at the moment.

In order to prevent Han Er from revealing his identity, Wen Xuan had already taken the time to patiently explain some simple Buddhist common sense to him on the way, so as long as he was relaxed, it would not be difficult to get through in front of these Mongolian and Semu people.
