Attacking the crowd with outnumbering lies in intensification, decisiveness, and lethality with one blow.

This is the principle of using troops that Jie Yuan once taught to Zhu Lihua.

"Report!"

While he was thinking about it, a herald ran into the hall with a loud shout, and his tired face could not hide the sparkle in his eyes, and immediately after entering the hall, he hurriedly said:

"General, Gao Junhou came to report, our army went out of the city with 8,000 soldiers and fled to the Qi army to attack the Qi camp, and the Qi camp defected to the soldiers in the camp to break the Qi army, killing more than 3,000 Qi ** soldiers on the spot, capturing the son Si Qi ** Hou three people, and 10,000 soldiers.

Now the camp of the Qi army in the north of the city has been completely captured by our army, and the remnants of the Qi army are fleeing north to the Huangtian Ferry.

When the humble post came to report, the captured Qi army was checking the number under the custody of the armed people, and Gongzisi was also on the way back to Shangdang.

Gao Junhou was afraid of the anxiety of the generals and others, so he ordered me to report quickly. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they were overjoyed, in addition to congratulating Li Hua with joy on their faces, their eyes could not hide the excitement and excitement after winning the bet.

At this time, Zhu Lihua also smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then asked the soldier:

"Where is Gao Junhou at the moment?"

The soldier clenched his fists and said: "Back to the general's words, Gao Junhou did not take a break after our army defeated the main force of the Qi army, and led the troops to the north to pursue the Qi army. ”

After listening to the words, Zhu Lihua was slightly stunned and suddenly stroked his hand and said three "good" words in a row, and then laughed "haha".

Everyone looked strange and even more confused, but at this time no one dared to ask, only Xizihui hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward and said respectfully: "General, as the old saying goes, the cloud is poor and the Kou Mo chases, although the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Gao Junhou are brave, but counting the Qi army at the Huangtian Ferry, the enemy country still has more than 20,000 main forces, so in Xizi's opinion, we should take it as the key to stabilize the position."

After all, it is not easy to achieve such a great victory, and the soldiers need to have a good rest, and the eldest son of Qi has been caught by us, and he needs to be properly guarded.

After that, whether we choose to pull out the camp to surround the Huangtian Ferry and then drive away the Qi army, or use Gongzisi as a threat, it will be easy to force the Qi army to retreat, and it is better than forcing the Qi army to fight with me at this time.

Xizi is foolish, and please think twice about it. ”

After Xi Zihui finished speaking, everyone in the hall nodded their heads one after another, and Zhu Lihua was obviously in a good mood, and listened carefully when Xi Zihui spoke. But he also saw everyone's reactions, so he looked at Xi Zihui with a rather appreciative look in his eyes and said:

"Doctor Xizi, if I didn't have a follow-up, I would naturally take your advice.

If he didn't know that the backyard of the Qi army was on fire, he would never gamble with me as the backbone of the party defenders, so I'm afraid this war will end today. ”

Xi Zihui and the others listened to Zhu Lihua's eloquent words suspiciously, and after a few breaths, only Xi Zihui glanced at Zhu Lihua with a solemn face, kneeling on one knee, and said respectfully:

"In this way, congratulations to the general for annihilating the Qi army and relieving me of the danger of joining the party. Thinking about Xizi's remarks last night, and seeing the general's use of troops today, Xizi was extremely frightened. ”

After saying that, Xi Zihui solemnly bowed to Lihua and lay down in the chamber.

Where do the people still not understand how to do it at this time, so

The words "Congratulations to the general on annihilating the Qi army" resounded in the hall, and the others also lay on the floor one after another.

Zhu Lihua sat on the bamboo chair, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said to Xizihui: "You don't have to make this great gift, and Doctor Xizi doesn't have to be humble, if there is no Doctor Xizi today, I'm afraid that this result can only stop at defeating the Qi army outside the city."

Then, as if speaking to himself, he said softly:

"Annihilate the Qi army?

No, I'm going to keep them to watch the door for me. ”

……

An hour later, the soldiers who escorted Gongzisi finally returned to Shangdang City, but Zhu Lihua only glanced at the future monarch of Qi from a distance and decided not to pay attention to him, but sent Xi Zihui to contact him.

Although the two countries were still at war, the captive was the prince of one country. Therefore, Lihua naturally has to treat each other politely, and he can't be too lazy. But he still has to wait for more important news to arrive at the moment, how can he let himself get carried away because of a little prince.

And Xi Zihui, who was waiting for the Iron Eagle Swordsman to finally send the news of the trouble, although he was a little disappointed that the Iron Eagle Swordsman had not been able to kill Wei Huan but was seriously injured by him, but he was still very excited about their capture of Gongzi Si.

He could see that although Zhu Lihua was not willing to go to see Gongzisi in person, he handed over this rather ceremonial matter to himself. But this does not mean that Zhu Lihua does not attach importance to Gongzisi.

On the contrary, Zhu Lihua was more interested in Gongzi Sike than Wei Huan. And after knowing that Lihua had already sent Wei Mu to ambush in the northern mountains, ready to raid the Huangtian Ferry at any time and cut off the Qi army's plan to cut off the food and grass of the Qi army, he understood more why Lihua was a little disdainful of Wei Huan's life and death.

After knowing this, he realized that since he came to Shangdang, he didn't take the 50,000 Qi army in his eyes at all.

Xi Zihui, who felt more and more that Lihua was a little scary, still went to Gongzisi according to Lihua's request, while Lihua was still calmly waiting for the news from Huangtian Ferry.

Huangtian Ferry is located more than 20 miles north of Shangdang City, so it is the most stable water potential of a section of Huangshui sandwiched between Hexi and Hedong counties, so the ferry is opened for human use, which also allows the barren and mountainous Hexi County to obtain economic input from the waterway, and the two counties of Hexi and Hedong are also connected with each other because of this.

The locals feel that this is a blessed land from God, so they call the Yellow Water Ferry here the Yellow Sky Ferry.

At the beginning, after Lihua occupied Shangdang, he asked Wei Mu to lead more than 2,000 cavalry into the northern mountains of the ferry, ready to attack with him from the north and south at any time, and counterattack the army of Qiguo.

Later, when Lihua learned that Wei Huan led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south and stored a large amount of grain and grass at the Huangshui Ferry, he hurriedly ordered Weimu to prepare water, fire and utensils, and burn the grain and grass if necessary to cut off the rear route of the Qi army.

But yesterday, he temporarily changed his mind because of Xi Zihui's performance, so he hurriedly sent scouts to contact Wei Mu to change his plan.

At this moment, he only hoped that the scout could convey the military order in time, and the originally planned fire did not burn as scheduled.

With a slight apprehension in his heart, he sat silently in the hall for a whole day, until there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the hall, and he raised his head and looked at the door of the hall hopefully.

And the nobles who had been sitting with Lihua for a day in the hall also cheered up and pricked up their ears, ready to welcome the arrival of another good news.

"Report!"

I saw a man in filthy clothes hurriedly entering the hall with five soldiers who were also in poor clothes, and the man who looked like the leader saw that it was General Pi Lihua who was sitting on the top, so he quickly knelt down on one knee and said solemnly:

"General Yu, Liu Ping, the five hundred lords under the command of Wei Qianren, see the general."

Yu Lihua held back the excitement in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Liu Ping, you have been a personal soldier beside me, how can I not know you." If there is any news, please tell us quickly. ”

"Whoa"

When Liu Ping saw that Lihua knew himself, his face was overjoyed, and he was even more proud in his heart. In the past six months or so, looking at Daqin, there is news of the defeat of people from all walks of life, and under the leadership of Zhu Lihua, he has fought such a big victory, how can Liu Ping not be proud.

I saw Liu Ping looking at his own general with resolute eyes, and said loudly:

"General, Wei Qianren led more than 2,000 of us to lurk in the mountains north of the Huangtian Ferry in the past two months, and the day before yesterday, after receiving the general's instruction, we sneaked out of the mountains yesterday night and ambushed outside the Huangtian Ferry.

Last night, when the fire in Shangdang City was raging, Wei Qianren led his sons and daughters to kill the Huangtian Ferry, and in less than an hour of fighting, they killed one of the Qi army garrison Hou who was caught off guard, 400 soldiers, and captured more than 5,000 soldiers and horses left behind by the Qi army. And our cavalry suffered only 100 casualties.

Subsequently, Wei Qianren led most of the cavalry south, and happened to encounter the main force of the Qi army that fled to the ferry in a rout.

The Qi army suffered a series of defeats last night, and after discovering that our cavalry was moving south from the direction of the northern ferry, they knew that they had lost the ferry lair. After that, where did they dare to kill again, under the attack of our cavalry and the infantry that followed from the north and south, the Qi army was quickly routed and then scattered and fled.

According to the message sent by the general to send scouts, Wei Qianren, with the cooperation of Gao Junhou, deliberately set aside a place in the southwest to allow the panicked Qi army to retreat.

At noon today, our army has completely annihilated the last formed Qi army, and now Wei Qianren is leading his troops to chase after those Qi people who are fleeing in all directions, and only fleeing in the direction of Xuchang, while Gao Junhou is leading his troops to escort thousands of prisoners to the Huangtian Ferry.

General, today our army has won a complete victory, the Qi army has been completely disintegrated, and the siege of Shangdang is over. ”

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart anymore, and after saying the last sentence tremblingly, he unexpectedly knelt on his knees and kowtowed solemnly to Lihua.

This kowtow carries the voice of all the soldiers under the command of Lihua, and this kowtow seems to be under the representative of Liu Ping, and all the soldiers of the Mu Qi Army are sending infinite respect to their respected generals.

In troubled times, nine deaths and life as a soldier. Even if it is under the command of Zuo Geng, even if it is the Xuanjia cavalry that was once invincible in the world, it has been annihilated in the smoke and clouds of history.

But Lihua has brought them to victory after victory, and let them survive until now.

Therefore, after this battle, the officers and soldiers of the Mu Qi Army regarded Zhu Lihua as a god and could not be blasphemed. At this moment, under the excitement, Liu Ping and others made a heartfelt move.

The nobles in the hall looked at the actions of Liu Ping and several people in the hall, and there was a faint pride in their hearts, although they did not have such a deep respect for Lihua as Liu Ping, but they were also surprised by the magic of Lihua's victory with a few outnumbered blows.

So now that the ending has been decided, these nobles who are tied to Lihua and live and die together are also extremely excited.
