Xin Xingzong's face was pale, he didn't say a word, and it was those staff members who spoke in a mess like a duck pen in the tent. All the words mean the same thing: withdraw the troops as soon as possible, and then plan for the future.

This group of people is now angry, and it seems that if Xin Xingzong does not agree, they will dare to choke him by the neck and ask him to order the army to withdraw.

Xin Xingzong was also born in the army, so naturally he would not be so willful. He had already inspected it just now, not to mention the baggage and other things, most of the grain and grass in the camp were burned, and the rest, plus the grain and grass received by each battalion the day before, was at most three or four days of grain and grass. This means that he wants to arrange for the army to withdraw to Baigou Henan within these two days, otherwise, let alone capture Youyan, these 50,000 horses will starve to death.

Withdrawal must be withdrawn, but it can't be withdrawn like this! It is necessary to arrange the queen and the strategy, so as to prevent the fan from taking the opportunity to intercept and kill.

Xin Xingzong held back his anger and said loudly: "Everyone go back to the camp to prepare first, and when I arrange the men, let's withdraw." ”

A group of staff members suddenly rushed back as if they had escaped from the prison, and they all packed their clothes.

"Grandma's, defeat will be lost on you and other poor sour!" Xin Xingzong scolded at this time, and let out a bad breath.

There was still no expression on his face, but he ordered the army to stop crossing the river and return to the south bank. He Shu Wenyan hurriedly stopped the seed master, and said anxiously: "The seed is the capital, that Xiao Gan and Xin Xingzong have fought a battle, and the men and horses will inevitably be lost, at this time, our army only needs to set up a position here, and there are few thieves in Liao, so there is no need to worry." ”

The seed master said impatiently: "The grain and grass of the left army are all destroyed, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, if we do not retreat to the south bank, we will be coerced and trampled by the West Route army, and the army's heart is unstable, and we will be defeated by the fans." ”

He Xu was still unwilling to say: "Even though the heart of the West Route Army is in turmoil, the heart of my East Route Army is still there, and the food and grass are enough, enough to fight!" ”

Seeing that He Shu was still unwilling, the seed master said to He Xu: "A certain person has a heavy responsibility, worries day and night, and what he is worried about now is Yelu Dashi." I'm afraid that we can resist Xiao Gan's department, but Yelu Dashi will take the opportunity to attack from behind. ”

He Shu still tried his best to persuade and said: "How can Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi attack at the same time? I have been in Xiongzhou for many years, and I also know about Yanjing, that Xiao Gan is very ambitious, and Xiao Gan is the wife and uncle of the current Liao Emperor Yeluchun, at this time, he will never use his own people's lives to help Yelu Dashi, and Yelu Dashi will not help Xiao Gan raise his prestige. ”

Seeing that the seed master was still hesitating and hesitating, he stomped his feet and shouted loudly: "Don't forget what the court is looking forward to!" ”

Seed Master Dao's face was solemn, he hesitated again and again, and finally ordered again: "The whole army continues to cross the river and set up a position to wait for the enemy." ”

Since the Eastern Route Army crossed the river last night and came from various units of the army, and was not subordinate to one department, the soldiers and generals did not recognize each other, and it was difficult to command, so it was unusable for a while, so they had to order Zhao Ming, the commander of the Xuanfeng Army, and Zhao Zhi, the deputy commander of the Xuanfeng Army, who had just crossed the river, to lead a thousand men and horses who had already crossed the river to set up a position one mile north of the river bank. The 2,000 men who crossed the river last night were in their reserve. The rest of the Eastern Route Army hastened the crossing of the river.

For a time, the river was lively, dozens of rafts shuttled back and forth, and the people on the rafts dragged the thick ropes connecting the two sides of the river, fainting more soldiers. The pontoon bridge was pressed by a group of soldiers who had stepped on it and was already floating under the water, and there were soldiers on the south bank of the river who were busy tying up the heavy grain and straw, and stacks were piled up on the bank, waiting for the soldiers to cross the river, and then transporting the baggage on rafts. On the north bank of the river, groups of soldiers began to arrange according to the orders of the generals, forming a formation three miles north of the river bank. Of course, it is indispensable to send sentinels to the north immediately to investigate the movements of the army.

And Jiao Anjie soon learned that Xin Xingzong's camp had been attacked and the whole army was withdrawing here. According to Xin Xingzong's military order, Jiao'an Festival should now start crossing the north bank of the river, but Jiao'an Festival only ordered the soldiers to prepare to cross the river, but gave all the only tools for crossing the river to the Eastern Route Army. Jiao Anjie now doesn't know how much he has read in his heart, if it weren't for this big nerd who had to cross the river like the devil, now he Jiao Anjie would have to take his seven thousand men and horses across the river to meet Xin Xingzong. said that he was answered, didn't he ask him to resist the Liao army for Xin Xingzong on the Jiejie Festival? Xin Xingzong once again thanked the big nerd.

Zhao Ming and Zhao Zhi were both generals who fought hard in the army, and when they received the military order, they immediately gathered men and horses, and dug two trenches about one mile long from east to west at three miles north of the north bank of the river. After the soldiers crossed the river, they arranged the formation, but they all had no complaints, and now with the soldiers who crossed the river one after another, the front army was about 2,000 people, and Zhao Ming and Zhao Zhi each brought 1,000 men and horses, and they were divided into two places, east and west, as horns, and waited in formation.

Zhao Zhi is behind the east fortress, now there is nothing to do, and there are patrol soldiers on guard, Zhao Zhi lay behind the fortress, moved his position on the ground, so that he can lie more comfortable, there is still a grass in his mouth, the grass juice is astringent in his mouth, Zhao Zhi likes to lie on the grass like this, the soft green grass is like the carpet in the big tent of the Western Route Army, such a good silk forging, just for the officials to step on the feet, it is a pity, if it is made into clothes, it is enough for his family to wear.

Looking at it, the sky in front of him was not what he usually saw after coming to Yandi, and today's weather was gloomy from before crossing the river, and a good wind was blowing. Somehow, he thought of what he said in the Wangqi chapter in the military book he had taught in the army: the weather is gloomy and rainless, the day is not visible, the conspiracy is also, and the general must be cautious of the enemy and the villains around him. Grandma's, it's not a good omen. To guard against villains, the first thing to do is to guard against the surname He, not people. Didn't he rush to the front and fight hard, so desperately let them rush as soldiers?

He was cursing in his heart, when suddenly his ears against the grass faintly heard the sound of rapid hitting the ground.

The voice was all too familiar to him! He continued to listen intently......

"Report!" A soldier rode over from the north, found Zhao Zhi, and reported loudly to Zhao Zhi: "It has been discovered that the Western Route Army has been pursued by the Liao army. About two miles away. ”

Zhao Zhi just glanced up, listened to him, shook his head again, and continued to lie on the ground to listen.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhi jumped up from the ground and stood on the fortress and looked east.
