The defeated Lu Fangjun was no longer able to command, and tens of thousands of soldiers were scattering and fleeing, in this case, even if Jia Lan and others withdrew to Daicheng, there were not many soldiers who fled into the city with them, and then they could only face the dilemma of being caught in the urn of the Western Army.

In desperation, Jia Lan could only give up the order to withdraw to Daicheng and lead the remnants to retreat westward.

It was at this time that the king of Ori rushed to the scene.

If the 6,000 Hun cavalry led by the king of Ori, their sudden arrival may really change the situation of the battle, but the problem is that the 6,000 army of the king of Ori is now only more than 1,000 people, and there are still many wounded soldiers.

With this bit of soldiers and horses, it was impossible to reverse the overall situation at all, originally it was just Jia Lan retreating with the remnants, but with the arrival of King Ori, it became Jia Lan and King Ori to flee together.

The Western Army divided tens of thousands of elite main forces to pursue the defeated Lu Fangjun and the Xiongnu Army, and in the process of pursuit, the Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry led by Geng Shu also caught up.

The two sides ran and chased, and the battle lasted for dozens of miles, until the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and the battle of Daicheng came to an end.

In this battle, the Western Army completely crushed Lu Fang's army, and beat Lu Fang's soldiers to the point that they had no power to fight back, and the 80,000-strong army was completely defeated, and the soldiers who fled with Jia Lan were only 20,000, and the remaining 60,000 people, except for a small number of killed and wounded, most of them either did not know where to flee to, or were captured alive by the Han army.

Only this battle, Lu Fangjun had no place to stand in Daijun, Jia Lan and Ao Ri Zhuwang with the remnants, retreated again and again in Daijun, all the way to the junction of Daijun and Yanmen County, which is also the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou, if they continue to retreat westward, it is equivalent to withdrawing from Youzhou and being beaten back to Bingzhou.

Han Xin led the 30,000 elites of the Western Army, while Geng Shu led 4,000 Youzhou cavalry and 3,000 cavalry of the Western Army.

The junction of Dai County and Yanmen County is here, there are many mountains and forests, the terrain is complex and precipitous, if you continue to chase the enemy, you will have to fight in the mountains, and you will even be able to fight all the way to Bingzhou, Lu Fang's lair.

Arriving here, Han Xin ordered to set up camp and suspend the pursuit.

In the Chinese military tent, Han Xin, Geng Shu and all the generals gathered together, and everyone discussed the next strategy.

According to Geng Shu's opinion, there is nothing to hesitate about, and he should continue to pursue and kill the enemy army, and take advantage of the victory to attack the state.

Han Xin grinned secretly, and said with a frown: "Bingzhou is Lu Fang's lair, Lu Fang is in Bingzhou, at least there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, just with our current troops, rashly break into Bingzhou, there is more than luck!" ”

The generals below were also divided into two opinions, one of the generals supported Geng Shu, believing that they should invade the state, and the other part supported Han Xin, thinking that it was too rash and too risky to do so.

Even Guo Ji, who was bent on avenging Peng Xin, said solemnly: "General Geng, the mountainous terrain between Daijun and Yanmen County is steep, it is very easy to set up ambushes, and the roads are mostly mountain roads, which are not suitable for cavalry combat!" ”

Entering the mountains, the Youzhou Turquoise cavalry and the cavalry of the Western Expeditionary Army, totaling more than 7,000 cavalry, became decorations, and they could not exert their combat effectiveness at all.

Once caught in an ambush by the enemy, it will be more than 7,000 live targets, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

When another general heard this, he said loudly and dissatisfiedly: "In addition to cavalry, our army also has infantry, 30,000 elites, which is enough to wipe out Jia Lan, Ao Ri and other thieves in the mountains!" ”

Han Xin lowered his head and pondered, thought about it for a long time, and said: "The general is leading the main force on the way here, I think that when the general arrives, please ask the general to decide!" ”

Geng Shu said meaningfully: "The battle situation is tense, the fighters are fleeting, the main army carries a lot of baggage, and when they arrive here, it will take three or five days to say the least, and by then, the remnants of the thief army have already fled, and the daylilies are cold." ”

Han Xin fell into deep thought again.

Geng Shu is not unreasonable, if he really waits for another three or five days, there will be no chance.

After thinking about it, Han Xin said, "I will immediately send a letter to the general and ask for the general's opinion. ”

Geng Shu hurriedly said: "General Han, it will take a day or two for the letter to go back and forth!" ”

Han Xin was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a shout from outside the camp tent: "Report - the general has sent an order!" ”

"Come on in!"

A soldier walked briskly into the tent from the outside and handed a token to Han Xin along with a bamboo slip.

Han Xin hurriedly took it and looked at it closely.

There is not much handwriting on the bamboo slips, only a few words.

After reading it, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, put down the bamboo slips, and said to everyone present: "The general has an order, asking me to wait and stay for the time being, the general is coming with light equipment, and he can arrive in half a day." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed excitement, and the dispute between them ended.

Feng Yi led 50,000 Han troops, all of whom were lightly armed and rushed over on a hurried march all the way.

After the meeting, Han Xin gave Feng Yi a detailed introduction to the current situation.

The remnants of Jia Lan who fled are estimated to be only about 10,000 people left, and the remnants of the Hun army are estimated to be less than 1,000 people.

Now they are divided over whether to continue to pursue the enemy.

After hearing this, Feng Yi thought for a moment, then asked someone to bring over a roll of bamboo slips, handed it to Han Xin, and said, "This is an edict from Your Majesty!" ”

Han Xin's face was straight, he straightened the armor on his body, took the edict respectfully, and took a closer look.

Geng Shu also came over curiously, stretched his neck, and looked at the contents of the edict.

There are many contents in the edict, and Liu Xiu roughly elaborated on the current predicament faced by the Luoyang court in the edict.

Gongsun Shuju's army attacked Nanjun, and the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Cen Peng was engaged in a fierce battle with Gongsun Shu's army in Nanjun.

Kui Huan had rebelled in Liangzhou and defected to Gongsun Shu's side, and the imperial court originally wanted to send troops to exterminate Kui Huan, but considering that both the north and south were fighting, if the western front battlefield was opened up, the imperial court's money and food might not be able to support.

Liu Xiu hoped that Feng Yi would be able to fight a quick battle in Daijun, end the northern battlefield as soon as possible, collect troops and return to the court, and support the battlefield on the Western Front.

After reading Liu Xiu's edict, Han Xin slowly put down the edict, froze in place, and did not speak for a long time.

Geng Shu didn't see it too clearly, and couldn't wait to take the edict from Han Xin's hand and read it carefully.

After that, his face became solemn, and he handed the edict to the generals next to him to circulate it.

They originally planned to take advantage of their own great victory and attack the state in one go, and they might even annihilate Lu Fang's forces in one fell swoop.

But now, the imperial court is eager to fight against the hustle and bustle, the three-front battle, for the current imperial court, it is not realistic, whether the southern front battlefield can end as soon as possible, the decision is no longer on their own side, then, whether the northern front battlefield can end the war as soon as possible, it has become very important.

A general frowned and asked, "General, are we going to withdraw our troops now?" ”

Another general said worriedly: "Once we withdraw our troops, Jia Lan and Ao Ri will definitely make a comeback, return to Daijun, and collect the remnants, and Daijun will still be occupied by Lu Fang." ”

"Therefore, we have come all the way from Chang'an to Daijun, which means that we have done nothing and changed nothing!"

also burned a Lingqiu City for no reason.

That's too infuriating, isn't it? Geng Shuzheng said: "General, you can't withdraw your troops!" We obviously won the battle in Daijun, thwarted the Lu Fang army, the Xiongnu army, and the Wuhuan army, and now we are withdrawing our troops, which is ...... This is tantamount to undoing all victories! ”

All the generals nodded in unison and said one after another: "Yes, general, you can't withdraw the army now!" ”

Han Xin frowned and said: "It is Your Majesty's will to withdraw the troops, compared to Lu Fang, Kui Huan is the henchman of the imperial court!" Our army will return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and it is imperative to fight against Kui! ”

After a pause, he reminded meaningfully: "What's more, the withdrawal of troops is Your Majesty's will, and if you don't obey it, you will not obey it!" ”

When all the generals heard this, their bodies were shocked, and they lowered their heads one after another.

Geng Shu took the edict again, read it from beginning to end again, squinted his eyes and said: "Your Majesty did not let our army withdraw immediately, but asked our army to end the war in the north as soon as possible." ”

Han Xinzheng said: "The Lu Fang army, the Xiongnu army, and the Wuhuan army have now been expelled from Dai County by our army, and the war in the north is over!" ”

Geng Shu said: "The enemy leader Jia Lan and the king of Ao Ri are still alive, how can the war be over? ”

Han Xin looked at Feng Yi and said meaningfully: "General, Kui Huan and Gongsun Shu are in alliance, Liangzhou and Yizhou are in one place, if the alliance between these two states is consolidated, it is too difficult for the imperial court to send troops to pacify it, take advantage of the fact that the alliance between the two is not stable, and send troops to Liangzhou in time to exterminate Kui Huan!" ”

Feng Yi paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back.

Everyone's eyes fell on Feng Yi, whether to fight or retreat, this decision had to be made by Feng Yi in the end.

Now, Feng Yi is also in a dilemma.

Withdrawing troops, that is, giving up the fruits of victory, all the efforts made by their own side in Daijun are in vain, if you do not withdraw your troops, you don't know when the war in the north will be fought, which will inevitably impress the overall situation of the imperial court.

It's hard! Feng Yi sighed in his heart as he paced.

People looked at Feng Yi with their eyes, and the Chinese military tent was silent for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Feng Yi suddenly stopped, and people's eyes lit up, looking at him intently.

Feng Yi looked around at everyone present and said word by word: "Suppressing the hustle and bustle is indeed the top priority!" ”

As soon as they heard this, Geng Shu and other main battle generals were all disappointed, and it seemed that the generals could not withstand the pressure of the imperial court, so they could only order the withdrawal of troops.

Before everyone could answer, Feng Yi suddenly changed his words and asked, "How did we come to Daijun?" ”

People are at a loss, how did they come here?

Of course, I came on two legs! Han Xin's mind turned around and said, "Our army started from Sanfu, went to Hongnong, Hanoi, Jizhou, and finally came to Dai County!" ”

Feng Yi nodded and said, "Now that the officers and soldiers of our army are going back to Sanfu, how should they go back?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and the general asked not nonsense?

I came by Hongnong, Hanoi, and Jizhou, and when I went back, of course, I also took this route! Feng Yi looked around at everyone, suddenly smiled, and said, "I thought that when our army retreated to Sanfu, we could change the route!" ”

"The general means ......" "Go and merge the state!"

"Huh?"

"Pass through Bingzhou, go to the north, settle down, and then go south to Sanfu."

Feng Yi said: "The route of Hongnong, Hanoi, and Jizhou is too detouring, and it is closer to take the route of Bingzhou, Beidi, and Anding!" ”

People looked at Feng Yi blankly, looking at him like they were looking at a madman.

The generals swallowed their spit involuntarily, and one of the generals cautiously reminded: "Big ...... General, and the state, and even Beidi County and Anding County, can be ...... But it's all under Lu Fang's control! ”

That's all Lu Fang's sphere of influence, and his own army wants to pass through it in a grand manner?

This...... It's crazy too!
