Kebineng and the others couldn't wait to ask Tanma: "Tell me quickly, have the officers and troops withdrawn?" "I know that Zhao Yi from Guangning County can't support it, and he is consuming each other with Qiangqu. After a long time, Qiangqu will definitely be defeated in the hands of Zhao Yi, but the Youzhou officials and troops will also be consumed by Qiangqu.

Kebineng and Sully had excited expressions on their faces, they had already figured out how to attack, but they didn't see the stunned look on Tanma's face.

Although Tanma was unwilling to break Kebineng's illusions, he had to tell Kebineng the truth to the two of them, looking at the excited faces of the two leaders, Tanma said tentatively: "Leader Qiqi, the official army of Shanggu County has not been transferred, but there are reinforcements from the official army. ”

These bland and emotionless words knocked the two hearts of the uplifting Kebineng and Su Li from the clouds into the land of no return. Their faces were as dead as ashes as they could not believe this fact.

"Reinforcements? You made things clearer, how many more officers and soldiers? Kebineng said with some annoyance, although there is only one word difference between withdrawing troops and increasing troops, it is very important to the fate of his two departments.

The soldier told Kebineng in detail what he had discovered: "Chief, early this morning, the soldiers of our department saw a large group of officers and soldiers coming to the camp of the officers and soldiers of Shanggu County, and there were a large number of men and horses, including 10,000 people. ”

"Ten thousand?" Su Li's body shook twice, with these 10,000 people, the number of officers and troops in Shanggu County was more than the combined strength of his two divisions, plus the 30,000 cavalry in the eastern Nanlou Division. Su Li suddenly felt that the situation of his two departments was critical, and under the attack of these two forces, Su Li still had the heart to attack Shanggu County at this time, and it was a good thing that the official army and Nanlou did not join forces to deal with him. His tone was a little trembling and said, "Where did Zhao Yi transfer so many soldiers?" ”

Kebineng's face was not very good-looking, and he secretly hated it in his heart, blaming himself for not seizing the opportunity at the beginning, and he had to wait for Qiangqu and Zhao Yi to lose before making a move. If they had received the news, their two divisions would have launched an attack immediately. This may not be the case today. "It must be the official army that Zhao Yi mobilized from another state capital." Kebineng slammed the table hard, without these 10,000 soldiers, Kebineng would not be able to break through Shanggu County in two parts, and now that there are 10,000 soldiers, he has no chance.

And what really scared Kebi Neng and Su Li was that they didn't know how many soldiers Zhao Yi had transferred from other state capitals. They were not sure whether the soldiers of their department would be in a situation where they would be attacked from all sides if they broke through the defense line of the officers and soldiers of Ueya County and entered the land of Ueya County.

And what Kebineng said before, going to Liaodong vassal country to fight with the official army can only be in vain, before Kebineng and the two were afraid that the cavalry of the Lou Department would stop them, and now the reason why they put it down is that they thought of one thing, since Zhao Yi can send soldiers to support Shanggu County, he can also send soldiers to support Liaodong vassal country. Now that the fighters have been lost, it will be useless for them to go to the subject country of Liaodong.

At this moment, the official army has been formed, where does Su Li still have the heart to help Qiangqu get out of trouble, let's protect his subordinates first. Su Li, who was resigned, asked Kebineng: "Brother, at this moment, the officers and soldiers are strong and strong, how should our department deal with it?" ”

When he heard that the 10,000 officers and soldiers reinforced Shanggu County, Kebineng had already made a decision in his heart, his face changed several times, and finally sighed: "The officers and troops of Shanggu County plus the troops of Nanlou have as many as 50,000 troops, which is not something that my two soldiers can resist, I want to lead my troops back to recuperate and recuperate, and then plan for big things in the future." I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks? ”

What else can Su Li have now, besides, Kebineng has already given the order to withdraw his troops, and Su Li, who has only 10,000 soldiers, is even more powerless to stop the front of the 50,000 army, so he nodded and agreed with Kebineng's point of view: "What my brother said is extremely true. ”

Kebineng and the two divisions were afraid that the officers and troops would cooperate with Nanlou, so they killed their two divisions, and ordered the soldiers of the department to throw away all the necessary things, and the 20,000 troops had already evacuated Shanggu County in less than an hour.

Half an hour later, the news reached the ears of Nanlou, who did not cheer as well as the generals in the military tent, but smiled and took a sip of the wine in the bronze jue.

The withdrawal of the troops of Kebineng's department has long been expected by the difficult building. As long as Zhao Yi sent troops to deter, Kebi Neng and Su Li knew that Shanggu County was difficult to capture, and for the sake of the lives of their soldiers, they would definitely evacuate. This is the disadvantage of the alliance, no matter how close the two leaders are, when they encounter a major event related to the life and death of the tribe, the friendship between them must give way to the tribe, Zhao Yi is very accurate in this regard.

Zhao Yi is indeed a rare talent, born in this troubled era, it is indeed the right time, and his achievements in the future are limitless.

The officers and soldiers who reinforced Shanggu County this morning stayed in the official army camp for less than a day, and returned to Quang Ninh County overnight. These 10,000 soldiers are just to deter the two divisions of Kebineng, and now that the two divisions of Xianbei have been evacuated, it is useless for them to stay here, so they naturally returned to the county seat of Guangning.

Although the two soldiers of Xianbei withdrew, Gao Ming and Nanlou did not relax their vigilance at all, and sent all the horses of the department to pay close attention to the movements of the two soldiers.

10,000 soldiers at the south gate were transferred, and if Qiangqu led his troops to attack, it was possible to break through. But it's a pity that two days ago, Zhao Yi used this trick to lure Qiangqu out of the city, causing Qiangqu to lose some soldiers, and now he heard the report of the soldiers of the South Gate that 10,000 officers and soldiers had withdrawn from the South Gate, and Qiangqu couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Qiangqu and the generals of the department went to the city gate in person to observe the situation of the officers and troops, it has been a morning, and the 10,000 officers and troops still have not appeared, and at this moment the guards of the officers and troops at the south gate are so loose, as if they can break through the encirclement of the officers and troops with a single impact.

But Qiangqu didn't dare to act easily, the situation two days ago was exactly the same as now, at that time Qiangqu thought that the Yi people outside Youzhou attacked Youzhou County, and the border officials and soldiers couldn't resist it, and asked for rescue. So ordered the soldiers to attack, just when their own troops rushed to the outside of the city, the officers and soldiers hidden in the woods a few miles away suddenly appeared, the more than 10,000 cavalry combat effectiveness was amazing, their own troops were attacked under the cooperation of the official army shield soldiers and cavalry, although more than 1,000 officers and soldiers were killed, but nearly 3,000 soldiers were killed in the Qiangqu department.

Since it was surrounded, Qiangqu has launched an unknown number of counterattacks, but none of them broke through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, but the morale of his own soldiers has been lost with this continuous rush. And Qiangqu's words of encouragement that inspire the heart of survival have been used more than once. However, several desperate attempts were unsuccessful, and the soldier's sense of survival gradually declined.

This method of motivating soldiers cannot be used again in a short time. Now the soldiers of the department have war horses to fill their hunger, but they have not yet seen panic, and when the war horses are eaten, Qiangqu will use this method to motivate the soldiers, and they will definitely be able to regain the hearts of the army. At that time, the soldiers had no way to advance or retreat, only to fight hard to find a way to survive, and their morale would be indomitable. It's just that at that time, the cavalry under his command did not have war horses, and they were attacking in the wilderness, how could they be the opponents of the official cavalry.

If it was too late by then, even if the Qiangqu Division struggled to break through the obstacles of the official army, the soldiers of the Qiangqu Division would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and they were afraid that they would not be able to recover in the next few decades.

Qiang Qu didn't want to wait until the mountains and rivers were exhausted, staring at the official camp with his eyes flashing, but the order to attack was not given for a long time.

"Chief, the 10,000 soldiers of the official army have not moved, have they really left?" The general under Qiang Qu said that it was already noon, and the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers had not returned, which made the general a little undecided.

Qiang Qu also thought about this in his heart, but as soon as this thought rose, he was pinched to death by his own cautiousness, two days ago, it was because he underestimated the enemy's rash advance, causing the death of 3,000 soldiers in his department, if this time it was still a conspiracy of the official army, then what should I do?

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, Qiangqu really doesn't want to take risks now, the loss of 3,000 soldiers can't move the foundation of Qiangqu, but if he wins the plan again this time, then he will lose 6,000 soldiers. Combined with the soldiers who had previously attacked the county town of Guangning and those who had been killed or wounded in these attacks, the soldiers of the Qiangqu Department had now lost 17,800 casualties. The wordless tombstones of the Hun soldiers on Nanshan were already overwhelming a few days ago, and Qiangqu really didn't want to add more people to it.

Qiang Qu did not accept the general's proposal, but ordered the soldiers to pay close attention to the movements of the officers and soldiers, and he returned to the palace.

The general asked why Qiangqu didn't take advantage of the situation to attack.

Qiang Qu only said: "Now we can't take a little risk. Qiang Qu sighed, and said in his heart that if he was tricked again, his subordinates would most likely suffer more than half of the casualties. At that time, Zhao Yi, who was strong and strong, was afraid that he would not besiege himself so simply, but would choose to attack the city strongly. The Xiongnu soldiers and Wuhuan soldiers were both nomadic people, good at field warfare, but not good at defending cities. If the official army invades on a large scale, there is a great possibility that the county town of Quang Ninh will be lost.

In addition to the fear of losing troops in the middle of the plan, there is another important reason why Qiangqu is so cautious, that is, the news of the Qiangqu department is blocked.

Before the Sail brothers had an accident, Qiangqu could still learn the news of Youzhou from the soldiers who contacted the Yi tribe outside the country, but since the accident of the two Sail brothers, the patrol soldiers of the official army and the transfer time have changed a lot, and in the past few days, Qiangqu has sent hundreds of henchmen out of the city to listen to the news, but until today, no one has returned. Without external information, Qiang Qu could not use the news to speculate on Zhao Yi's next move, and since he could not anticipate the enemy's first, Qiang Qu naturally did not dare to attack.

At this moment, what worries Qiang Qu is not where the 10,000 soldiers of the official army have gone, but his own Xiongnu tribe. He led the main soldiers of the tribe to attack Youzhou, and there has been no news for half a month, and I don't know if the tribe has learned about his current situation.

On the one hand, Qiangqu didn't want the tribesmen to come to the rescue of him, and on the other hand, he wanted his subordinates to come, because no matter how powerful the Yi tribe outside the country was, they would put their own interests first, and they would never risk their lives because of their own soldiers, but the soldiers of their own tribe were different, and they would spare no effort to help if they knew that they were in trouble.

Thinking of this, Qiangqu looked at the long sky in the west and sighed deeply.
