Gao Yuan only sent a dozen sentinels to hang the Pingzhou army that fled in a panic in front of him, and he and his team were still further behind. Gao Yuan knew that Zhou Nan would definitely send people to come again. Fight more with less, but also when you are safe enough. In fact, Zhou Nan prefers to set up the trap early, wait for the prey to enter the trap and trap, and then come out to clean up the prey.

There is a safe and labor-saving way, who would be stupid enough to rush out and fight hard?!

The Pingzhou Army led by Li Che in front went all the way to Shimen Town, which was not expected to be far-sighted. To the north is a poor ravine, and Li Che will not run into the ravine. Out of Shimen Town, fifty miles to the west is Jizhou; To the southeast, over a few canyons, is Yutian Castle. Yutian City is almost an empty city now, and Li Che is familiar with the situation, so he must most likely go to Yutian.

Before arriving in Shimen Town, Gao Yuan deliberately wrote a short letter, sent someone to Jizhou quickly, and then asked the people from Jizhou to transfer it to Yanjing and handed it to Xiao Lao Liu, so that Xiao Lao Liu and others knew the general situation here.

When I arrived in Shimen Town, a sentinel came back, and the situation was consistent with Gao Yuan's guess, and Li Che really led people to the southeast and drilled into the canyon.

This made Gao Yuan a little embarrassed. If he chased all the way over, Li Che's people would definitely set up a position in the steep part of the canyon, and he would be passive. If you don't chase it, you can't watch this Pingzhou army occupy Yutian City generously.

Gao Yuan couldn't think of a way, so he had to slowly follow behind, out of Shimen Town, following the mark left by the sentinel, also turned southeast, and marched along the foot of the mountain.

In the early afternoon, Yang Keshi and Agu Zhe actually led troops to follow. Gao Yuan thought that he could send a thousand men and horses at most, but he didn't expect Zhou Nan to send two thousand black iron troops and two thousand Xi soldiers, which made Gao Yuanda, who was thinking hard about how to break the enemy, happy.

Gao Yuan told Yang Keshi the direction of Li Che's escape, and then said his concerns just now, Yang Keshi grinned and said: "Now we are a wide range of soldiers, and there are also explosive arrows specially brought by Da Lang, and there are even more Xi soldiers of Agu Zhe, who are good at fighting in the mountains, so strong, I am afraid that we will not be able to take Li Che in ten days?!" ”

"It doesn't take ten days, five days is enough!" After listening to Yang Keshi's introduction, Gao Yuan was even more optimistic. The outpost in front reported that Li Che's rebellious army had passed Mengjiatun and was crossing the Shahe River to the east.

"What is the road after crossing the Sand River?" Yang Keshi asked.

"If you cross the Shahe River, and then go east, you will find the escape road of the Pingzhou army in the south of the city, which is the road that General Yang has pursued and killed; If you go south, you will be Yutian. The Sentinel replied.

"Li Che will not go around this big circle, and will also take Ma Fangyu's escape road; It is expected that Li Che will also go to Yutian, and when he arrives in Yutian, he can not only occupy Yutian City, but also replenish the grain, grass and armor in the city, and then go elsewhere after repairing. Yang Keshi said conclusively.

"It would be nice if Li Che really went to Yutian." Gao Yuan said with a sneer.

"Exactly!" Yang Keshi said, "It's just that it's a little more difficult to get in front of Li Che." ”

Ah Guzhe was a little confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Please tell me about the two generals, how to get in front of Li Che?" ”

Yang Keshi said: "Li Che Shiyou** is going to Yutian. This to Yutian, must pass through Caijiakou, that Caijiakou east and west of the mountain confrontation, the mountain pass is only half a mile wide, if you set up an ambush here, you will be able to block the way, and then our army from behind to chase and kill, Li Che's chaotic army will have nowhere to escape. It's a pity that if you want to get in front of Li Che, you have to cross the Hongshan River, and the narrowest part of the Hongshan River is also 100 zhang wide, which is really difficult to cross! ”

Gao Yuan nodded, it seems that Gao Yuan also took a fancy to Caijiakou as an ambush.

"Two generals, Agu Zhe is willing to lead two thousand Xi soldiers to set up an ambush in Caijiakou before Li Che, and he will definitely be able to block Li Che's way!" Aguzhe said to Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi.

"Agu Zhe, how can you lead your troops across the Red Mountain River?" Yang Keshi asked strangely.

"General Yang doesn't know yet, right? I can go up to the mountains and enter the sea. There is only a red mountain river, and there is a way to cross it. Aguzhe said proudly.

Gao Yuan looked at Yang Keshi, the two of them knew Agu Zhe well, otherwise Zhou Nan would not have sent Agu Zhe to chase down the rebellious army with them.

"When he came, Da Lang said that the battle in the mountains can be done by Agu Zhe." Yang Keshi added.

Time was pressing, Gao Yuan said to Agu Zhe: "Let Agu Zhe set up an ambush in Caijiakou with two thousand Xi soldiers, be sure to stop Li Che's chaotic army, and Brother Yang and I will arrive later." He turned his head and said to Yang Keshi: "If Aguzhe wants to intercept the rebellious army, send Aguzhe twenty explosive arrows to help Aguzhe keep Li Che." ”

Yang Keshi immediately asked someone to send twenty explosive arrows, handed them to Aguzhe, and told Aguzhe how to use them.

Seeing that Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi trusted him so much, Agu Zhe was very happy, hurriedly took the arrow, said goodbye to the two, and went south with two thousand Xi soldiers.

"Keep an eye on the rebels, and report any movement as soon as possible!" Gao Yuan sent the sentinel out, if Li Che's men and horses crossed the Shahe River and headed south, then Gao Yuan and they had to catch up in time, quietly follow until Caijiakou, and wait for Agu Zhe to intercept in front, Gao Yuan and they had to outflank the past in time, so as to wipe out Li Che's chaotic army.

"Da Lang can't wait, urging to get rid of these three rebels as soon as possible. He said, after getting rid of Li Che, there is no need to rush back to Zunhua, Zuo Xiaosi will come and take us to find Ma Fangyu's people, anyway, they are all running south, and they will probably not be far away. Yang Keshi said to Gao Yuan immediately. After resting for a while, the 3,000 men and horses also rode on their horses, thinking about the direction in which Li Che's rebellious army crossed the Shahe River.

"That Ma Fangyu was killed by you, and he can't become a climate anymore, at most, he can hide in a secluded place and live a few more days." Gao Yuan said with a smile. They now have 5,000 cavalry troops, all of them are elite soldiers, and dealing with the 2,000 men and horses that Ma Fangyu escaped is like killing chickens with knives.

Ma Fangyu and his cavalry ran for more than two hours, and did not stop until it was almost dawn. Checking the men and horses, there were less than a thousand cavalry left, and the infantry were either killed or scattered.

Ma Fangyu and his remnants easily found a small village without walls, killed indiscriminately, found some food, and filled it indiscriminately, Ma Fangyu felt a little more energetic. Looking at these horses around him, thinking that he had run all night, and there was no other horse behind him except for the chasing soldiers, there was no other horse to follow, and he couldn't help but scold: "Zhang Jun, old horseman, dare to play tricks on Lao Tzu, teach you to blow up Wanshengjun in less than three days!" ”

Ma Fangyu naturally understands now that he is a substitute for Zhang Jun, and even Li Che in the west of the city was deceived by Zhang Jun. It's just that the Wansheng army has no soldiers and horses to dispatch.

Bah! Cheap this old thing!
