When Lihua heard the thunderous name of the Kunpeng Army, he suddenly realized, and then said as if he sighed: "The Kunpeng Army is all the people of Qinlan County, and when Zuo Daren slaughtered the three counties and forced the people to follow the thieves, this forced out the Kunpeng Army, an army composed entirely of Qin people under the command of the Rong people.

When the army of the Zuo Greater was destroyed, I heard that it was the Kunpeng soldiers who had just formed the army who were not afraid of death and fought hard for the elite of the Zuo Guard, and half of the casualties did not retreat before the Zuo Greater's army was defeated.

It seems that this Lin Xu is indeed a character, otherwise he would not have led an army as a Qin person under the gathering of famous generals on the Rong side.

Moreover, the strength of the soldiers and horses under his command was confirmed as early as the battle with the soldiers and horses under the command of Zuo Daren, which can explain why they dared to use strange soldiers to cross those trails between the lofty mountains and mountains.

Providence, what providence. ”

Lu Lihua let out a long sigh, and he thought in his heart if Zuo Geng knew that he indulged his soldiers to slaughter the three counties and forced such a wizard to dig a tomb for Daqin, would he regret crawling out from under the Nine Springs again.

Seeing that Lihua shook his head with a wry smile, Gao Yunce hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted, "General, do you want us to send troops to rescue?"

Although we have 60,000 troops now, it is still insufficient to defend the counties, so where can we cross Qinlan County to rescue them.

The general must not send troops lightly and hit a stone with an egg. ”

Although Gao Yunce didn't think that Lihua would be confused enough to send troops to rescue Zhao Zhihai, if the monarch or Zhao Zhihai put forward an order for rescue, Lihua would always be embarrassed.

Zhu Lihua is different from these mud-legged Shu clans, he was born with the idea of loyalty and patriotism, not to mention that Zhao Zhihai and Jie Yuan are also in Wenshui, and the lives of those two people are more important to Lu Lihua than his own life.

That's why Gao Yunce took advantage of Lihua's preemptive admonition before he spoke, wanting to dispel his thoughts.

Seeing Gao Yunce's solemn face, and then seeing that the other people around him were all worried, Zhu Lihua was slightly stunned, then raised the letter in his hand and said:

"Don't panic, how could the middle and greater people be so confused as to let us rescue them across the territory of the Qi people and the Rong people, no one will give such an order to send them to death.

This letter just said that let's launch an attack quickly, so that the Rong people in Xijing will not attack Xiazhong County with all their strength under the rat trap. ”

Everyone was obviously relieved after listening to Lihua's explanation, but Xi Zihui still said with a hesitant face:

"General, even if we attract the main force of the Rong people in the direction of Xijing, how can Xia Zhongjun resist the Rong people's attack from the north, west, and south.

In Xizi's humble opinion, we still stick to it now, and many efforts and preparations made in the past year are all within the scope of Quwo, Longmen, and Shangdang counties, and once we leave here, these efforts will be in vain.

Moreover, if the number of troops we send to attack the Rong people is small, it will not have the purpose of luring the enemy army at all, and if the number is large, it is likely that the Rong people will drag them down and fight a decisive battle.

So it's very difficult to do. ”

After listening to Xi Zihui's words, Zhu Lihua thought for a moment and said, "Who said that we were going to attack by ourselves, didn't we still have 40,000 Qi people?" ”

After everyone heard Zhu Lihua's words, their eyes lit up. Xi Zihui suddenly smiled and nodded, while Gao Yunce patted his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

At this time, Zhu Lihua's face was like frost, and he looked at everyone coldly and said, "It's not that you didn't think about it, but you didn't think about it at all.

Everyone was frightened when they heard that Shubei was broken, so how could they still think about it.

Cowardice before fighting is a taboo in the army, and you and I will guard the last land, and we hope to treat it with a certain heart of death, and don't have the mind of begging. Otherwise, we are afraid that we will not even be able to make the last army of the Qin State. ”

After listening to Zhu Lihua's words, everyone was stunned and silently recalled Zhu Lihua's admonition, and a trace of shame arose on their faces.

Only Xi Zihui suddenly heard something strange from Zhu Lihua's words, and said in surprise: "The general said that we are the last army of Great Qin? Isn't there still 30,000 troops in Wenshui, and there are also 20,000 troops in Xiayang City? ”

Xi Zihui asked, and the others also noticed the abnormality, and they all looked at Zhu Lihua.

Zhu Lihua looked around, seemed to think for a moment, and then said slowly:

"Everyone knows that Wenshui is no longer defensible, can't the bigger people see the truth here, and will just sit and wait for death?

If my guess is correct, the middle and larger people want us to attract the main force of the Rong army, and they are desperate to break out. ”

"What?"

"Breakout?"

"Where did they break through, now all around them are occupied by the Rong people."

Zhu Lihua looked at the people around him who were shocked for a while, and lowered his head again. When he looked up again, he only said, "Go and tell Wei Huan quickly, and let him lead the troops to attack Yuan You." Regardless of whether he can be beaten down or not, as long as he can hold out for a week, I will allow him to return to the party. ”

After saying that, under the gaze of a group of people, Zhu Lihua tried to use the wall next to him to slowly move out of the door.

The rest of the people looked at each other, knowing that the Lord would not say more, and they all immediately went away.

Under the impetus of his own soldiers, the bamboo chair of Zhu Lihua went straight to a high platform of the city wall outside the Yellow Sky Fortress, and he looked at the rolling mud flow that had just been filled under the city wall, rushing and turbidly holding up the three-story city wall that straddled it.

Each of these walls was twenty paces apart, and the distance between each level was about ten paces, and they were connected to each other by wooden bridges made of ropes.

In front of this fortress, which can be called a miracle on earth, Zhu Lihua looked into the distance.

In a trance, he saw Jie Yuan, a gray-haired old man who walked up to his side, looking at the barrier built by his apprentice with a look of admiration.

He saw Zhao Zhihai in the distance again, standing with his hands and looking up at the sky, suddenly, he looked back at himself, still with the pride of looking at the world on his face. But the corners of his mouth smiled at him, and then he strode towards the sky.

Lihua closed his eyes, and the bean-sized tears in his eyes fell on the hem of his clothes.

"Teacher, middle school greater. Take care. ”

Like a child who is alone in a foreign land but misses his elders, Zhu Lihua lowered his head and whispered to himself.

......

Although he was a little puzzled by Lihua's sudden change of plan to attack Yuanyou, Wei Huan still carried out Lihua's order without hesitation.

At present, Yuanyou only has 5,000 Rong troops, but he has 40,000 troops, and it is not difficult to attack Yuanyou. Moreover, the military rations that Zhu Lihua gave himself at the beginning could only last the army for three months, so if he didn't listen at this time

If he angered him, then the 40,000 Qi army would be hungry to fight.

Wei Huan is not an embroidered pillow like Yongyunqi, although he is in a hurry, he still thinks carefully and decides to divide his troops into two ways to go south.

He ordered 10,000 men and horses all the way to rush to Qiushu City to kill, while the other 30,000 men and horses were personally led by himself to kill Yuanyou.

On the way, Wei Huan seemed to understand the intention of Yu Lihua, he was thinking that west of this Yuanyou was Qinyu County of Qinlan County, and Qin Yu was north of Luzhou in Xiazhong County. Therefore, it is very likely that Lihua wants to open up the channel from Shangdang to Wenshui.

Wei Huan, who didn't know much about the military situation in Xia Zhong, felt that it was of no practical significance to open up such a passage, not to mention that Qin Yu's front line still had the main cavalry force of the Rong army, which had broken Fang Yuanheng at the beginning, and was guarded there by the famous general Zhezhe.

The most important thing is that during this year, he carefully analyzed the tactics of Zhu Lihua and felt that this person was just good at defending the city.

Therefore, he believed that once the army of Lihua left his rule, fighting the Rong people elsewhere was completely hitting a stone with an egg.

Even though he had deeply understood the combat effectiveness of the Lihua army, Wei Huan was still not optimistic that Lihua's plan would succeed because of the small number of troops.

Despite this, Wei Huan still fulfilled his promise and led his troops to kill Yuan You.

When the 10,000 troops sent by Wei Huan to Qiushu appeared outside the city, the scouts in the Qiushu city immediately reported the situation to Xijing, and Xijing's side also reacted quickly, and they immediately sent 30,000 horses north to Qiujiao to support.

In the time between this news coming and going, time has passed for three or four days. When the 30,000 army came to Qiushu City, they found that the 10,000 Qi army had fled north after only one day of siege.

And in the past three or four days, Yuanyou has also been bravely attacked by the Qi people.

The 5,000 soldiers left behind by Yuan You were only soldiers and horses recruited by the Rong people in Yuanzhou, so their combat effectiveness was not strong, and they were far from having any will to fight. This is an opponent for the Qi ** team. Therefore, under the attack and defense of the two sides, when Xijing sent another 50,000 troops, it took nearly two weeks.

This far exceeded Zhu Lihua's expectations, and Wei Huan's practice of dividing troops to kill Xiang Qiu also attracted an additional 30,000 Rong troops. So when Wei Huan came to Shangdang with the remaining more than 30,000 Qi troops under his command, Lu Lihua ceremoniously greeted him in person to wash the dust for Wei Huan.

Looking at the jade-faced young man who could only sit on the bamboo chair in front of him, Wei Huan, who was a little ignorant and ignorant, finally understood the real reason why Lihua let him send troops to Yuanyou under the warm reception of Lihua.

Therefore, Wei Huan, who had fought all his life, had infinite respect for the young general in front of him who could not walk.

In his opinion, Zhu Lihua not only uses soldiers like a god, but also has affection and righteousness, and even more so faithful, which is quite appetizing to him.

It must be known that at this time, if Lihua used the supply of grain and grass as a threat to let him continue to garrison Xuchang and Binshui to resist the Rong people for the Qin army, it would also be a reasonable approach.

But Zhu Lihua kept his promise and did not do such a thing that although he was despicable, he should have done more.

After some consideration, Wei Huan finally made his own decision, and he "sincerely" proposed to Lihua that he wanted to help Lihua fight against the Rong people in the party.

And Zhu Lihua was overjoyed to thank Wei Huan again and again, and promised to return Gongzisi to Wei Huan after the end of the war.

The two of them inappropriately staged a drama of helping each other in the same boat, without mentioning the truest thoughts in their respective hearts.
