Chapter 423: A dilemma
Things in this world are so coincidental, if Zhu Bao doesn't take the initiative to rebel, Liu Yi is still thinking about how to attack him, maybe he will go to Qiqi County like Zhu Ti County, step by step, and give Zhu Bao step by step, but now, ...... Zhu Bao's rebellion and Liu Yi's capture of Jianning were almost seamless, probably the news here has not yet reached Qiqi County, and Zhu Bao obviously didn't think that Yonghong would be so vulnerable and was defeated by Liu Yi and escaped.
But no matter what, his rebellion made Liu Yi no longer have to waste energy on how to find fault, now the problem is simple, since he dares to raise the flag to rebel, then just go straight to it.
"Phew~"
Liu Yi slowly pulled the war horse, slowly raised his right arm, behind him, Lu Lingqi, Guan Xing, and Zhang Bao protected him left and right, Zhang Bao folded the spear that Liu Yi helped him make behind his shoulder, and held a big flag high in his hand, with the words of General Annan - Liu written on it, hunting in the wind.
In the sound of neat footsteps. The four thousand barbarian army slowly unfolded behind Liu Yi, and the red armor was like a burning flame, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
A majestic mountain wind is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, and the road in front of you seems to be cut in half by this sword-like mountain wind, extending in different directions.
The scout in charge of exploring the road in front had not yet returned, and Liu Yi summoned the guide and asked, "Where can I get through?" ”
"Go back to Tinghou." The guide bowed down and said: "We are now in the territory of Qiqi, but this Qiqi County is vast and sparsely populated, and Zhu Baotaishou is located in Jilan, according to which there are hundreds of miles away, just go north along the main road!" ”
Liu Yi nodded, this area is indeed quite desolate, and the mountains are continuous, and the so-called main road is actually no different from the country road.
"Zhang Bao!" Looking at the sky, Liu Yi said behind him.
"The last general!" Zhang Baoting immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"You take the scouts to find a place to go down to the village, and here you are today." Liu Yi said to Zhang Bao.
There is still a distance of 100 miles, with the current marching speed, it can be reached in two days, this speed, Liu Yi is a little amazed, not to mention that in this dense mountain and forest, the road is difficult to travel, even in the plain area, the troops who can walk 100 miles in two days are rare elites, which makes him once again determined that in the future he will pull an army completely composed of barbarians, such a race, it is a pity not to be a soldier, it is a scourge to stay in Nanzhong, but if it is pulled out, it is enough to make the world fear the army of tigers and wolves.
"Whoa!" Zhang Bao agreed, ordered people to go to another road to find scouts, and led his own men and horses to explore the north to find a suitable place to camp.
……
牂牁, and orchid.
Zhu Bao was ready to respond to Yonghong, and had raised the flag to rebel, gathered the soldiers and horses, just waited for Yonghong to send someone to inform, and then led the army to make peace with Yonghong, jointly attacked Zhu Ti, and drove Liu Yi out of Nanzhong, just waited for a few days, he did not wait for Yonghong to order the heroes, but waited for the news that Jianning was broken by Liu Yi, like a basin of cold water poured down, and his hands and feet were cold in an instant.
"Then how could Liu Yi break through Jianning so easily?" Zhu Bao asked the person sent by Yonghong to report the news with some surprise, although he knew that it was impossible, he still hoped that this was a joke by Yonghong and himself.
"Back to Fujun, that Liu Yi is quite treacherous, our army is not ready, suddenly killed into Jianning, went straight to Dianchi Lake, my lord was not ready, was broken by that Liu Yi Dianchi, but please rest assured, my lord's strength has not been damaged, at this moment he has led the army to join forces with Yuewang Taishou Gaoding, kill the county general Jiao Huang, and send him to come down to talk to Fujun, you and I will attack Jianning left and right, and kill Liu Yi."
"Good!" Zhu Bao nodded and said, "You go first, I'll gather my troops and horses and I'll come later." ”
There is no other way now, he has raised the banner to rebel, and killed the officials of Xiang Han in the county, even if he wants to turn back at this moment, he can only go one way to the dark.
"Oh, take your leave!" The messenger said yes and turned to leave.
Zhu Bao watched the other party leave with some distraction, and suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to agree to Yonghong so easily this time, Liu Bei's forces are now thriving, and his momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and it is really not a wise move to choose to raise the flag to rebel at this time, but now the arrow is off the string, and regret is useless.
In order to prevent Liu Yi from destroying his lair like attacking Jianning, Zhu Bao did not immediately send troops, but mobilized enough troops to defend Helan, and left his henchmen to defend the city, and then brought his own troops and horses to march beyond Jianning.
……
"Zhu Bao sent troops?" On the other side, Liu Yi's soldiers and horses had come to a distance of thirty miles from Jilan, but they received a report from the scouts that Zhu Bao had assembled a large army in the area of Jilan.
"Yes, depending on the scale, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses." Zhang Bao nodded.
"Twenty thousand!" Liu Yi rubbed his temples, although these four thousand barbarian soldiers are brave and good at fighting, even if they can defeat the other party, they may lose a lot, after all, this is a field battle, and it is impossible to divide the frontal hard bar without loss, but the enemy is outnumbered, even if the soldiers here are strong and strong, Liu Yi does not want these soldiers and horses to become elite soldiers and horses in the future, and they will lose too much in this kind of place.
"Did the other party spot our scouts?" Liu Yi asked.
"Probably not." Zhang Bao shook his head and said, "Then Zhu Bao didn't send scouts. ”
"Don't send scouts?" Liu Yi raised his eyebrows, even if it was his own territory, but this vigilance was too bad.
After thinking about it, Liu Yi looked at Guan Xing and Zhang Bao and said: "I remember, I passed by a narrow road before, there is a forest on the left, and there is a mountain on the right. ”
"Whoa!" When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao heard this, they agreed, and each took the order.
"Ma'am." Liu Yi looked at his wife and said in a deep voice.
"Tinghou just orders!" Lu Lingqi said solemnly.
"You take the people of the headquarters to Jilan to see if there is a chance to steal the city!" Liu Yi said with a smile.
Since the other party's main force is exhausted, there should not be too many people in the rear, but it is not absolute, so the sky did not issue a strict order, it is the best to steal the city, if not, it doesn't matter, it is okay in the overall situation, as long as Zhu Bao can be captured, this battle will be stable.
"Whoa!" Lu Lingqi said solemnly, now that she is wearing a military uniform, her style of acting is very different from that at home, and her resolute appearance makes Liu Yi somewhat uncomfortable.
"Meng Yan!" Watching his wife lead the female soldiers away, Liu Yi looked at Meng Yan beside him.
"Please tell the Pavilion Marquis!" Meng Yan said solemnly.
"It's okay, you're in charge of protecting me." Liu Yi said casually.
Meng Yan: "......"
Probably feeling that his words were a little inappropriate, Liu Yi added: "Later, when the enemy army is in chaos, you and I will wave our flags and shout in the rear to intimidate the enemy army, and after the enemy army is completely disorganized, clean up the defeated army." ”
"Whoa!" Meng Yan took a deep breath and hugged his fist
