In the middle of the night, Zhao Hongrun, who was slowly marching in the direction of the Lu clan, received a report from the green crows, saying that the Qin army had withdrawn in the direction of Hangu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After learning the news, Zhao Hongrun's eyes widened in shock.

He originally thought that Wuxin Marquis Gongsun Qi would continue to pursue him relentlessly, delaying the arrival of his army at the Lu clan as much as possible, but he did not expect that the commander of the Qin army would give up the pursuit so simply.

Of course, this is not to say that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi made a wrong judgment, in fact, this judgment is very clever.

After all, in the final analysis, the more than 100,000 Qin troops stationed in Hanshan led by Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, were the strongest opponents in this battlefield that Zhao Hongrun was responsible for.

In other words, if he couldn't solve the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, Zhao Hongrun would have no way to support other battlefields, even if he solved the Qian tribe and the Ling tribe.

But then again, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi made such a judgment, which also means that he has given up the Qian tribe and the Ling tribe, and even, he has also given up the Qin army general Wang Jian and the thousands of Iron Eagle troops under his command.

Overall, it was a conservative, prudent, and somewhat cold decision.

This decision made Zhao Hongrun realize that even if he eradicated the Qian tribe and the Ling tribe this time, even if he even captured and killed the Qin general Wang Jian, he would inevitably have a bitter battle against the Hangu Qin army in the future-I believe that when the time comes, Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi will do his best, so that his Wei army will not be able to win this battle as soon as possible.

And this is precisely Zhao Hongrun's weakness.

『…… Forget it, save it for a headache later.'"

Shaking his head, Zhao Hongrun put the troubles in his heart behind for the time being.

Since Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi chose to temporarily get out of the war, then, Zhao Hongrun does not have much energy to deal with him, and his current priority is to return to the Lu clan as soon as possible and help the general Sima An - if he is one step late, Sima An will be trapped and killed by the Qian tribe, the Ling tribe and the Qin general Wang Jian, even if Zhao Hongrun annihilates these three soldiers and horses later, he will not be able to recover the losses of his Wei State.

A general like Sima An, who has the talent of a general, must not be lost!

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Hongrun led his army to the northwest of Luoning, and at this time, he had received news from the green crows.

As he expected, at dusk yesterday, when he Zhao Hongrun had just retreated from Hangu, Qu Cheng, the main general of the Yanling army who was responsible for attacking the Lingshan tribe in Yishan, was really attacked by the Qin general Wang Jian.

Although Qu Cheng, Yan Mo, and Sun Shuke of the Yanling army were all generals with great talents, it was a pity that these generals never thought that in the eastern part of Sanchuan, which was controlled by their Wei army, there was actually a Qin army that was trying to sneak attack them.

In an unsuspecting situation, the Yanling army unexpectedly suffered a defeat, which made the Lingling tribe, which had been suppressed by them, burst out with strong combat effectiveness, causing the Yanling army to lose its main camp and could only retreat twenty miles to the northeast and re-station.

Fortunately, neither the Qin general Wang Jian nor the people of the Ling tribe took advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise, the losses of the Yan Ling army would have been even greater.

Of course, even so, the Yanling army also lost nearly 3,000 additional casualties, and this casualty made Zhao Hongrun feel extremely heartbroken.

This was his dereliction of duty as the commander, because he failed to see the conspiracy of the Qin army in advance, allowing a strange army of the Qin army to lurk in the hinterland of the Wei army.

However, to Zhao Hongrun's surprise, the news arrived at the same time as the news of the Green Crows, as well as a letter sent by his staff Jie Ziyu.

In Jie Ziyu's letter, this staff member euphemistically reminded Zhao Hongrun about the strange army of the Qin general Wang Jian, which was actually summed up in one meaning: pointing out that the real target of the Qin general Wang Jian's attack was the Yan Ling army, which was in charge of attacking Yishan.

This made Zhao Hongrun feel very surprised.

You know, it was through the strange attitude of Hangu Qin Jun that he realized that the situation was wrong, and Jie Ziyu was far away in Luocheng, how did he guess about it?

It turned out that two days ago, Lu Balon led a part of the Sichuan-Yu coalition army, mainly composed of warriors from the Lun tribe of the Yi people, to return to the area of Luocheng.

According to Zhao Hongrun's original tactical arrangement, Lu Balon would deploy the Sichuan and Luo coalition forces under his command in the mountains and forests around Luocheng, and wait for the Qin general Wang Jian to attack Luocheng.

Subsequently, Lu Balon will, according to Zhao Hongrun's orders, drive the Qin general Wang Jian's army back to Hangu, and launch a two-sided attack on Wang Jian's army with the Wei army deployed by Zhao Hongrun in front of Hangu.

After arriving in the area of Luocheng, Lu Balon sent someone to send a message to Jie Ziyu, Zhao Hongrun's staff, reminding the latter to beware of the sneak attack of the Qin general Wang Jian, after all, Luocheng is a free trade city with almost no city defense power, in the past, the warriors of the tribes of the Sichuan Alliance were the main defense force of this city, and now, Zhao Hongrun has transferred many warriors from these tribes to form the Sichuan and Luo coalition army, which makes the defense force of the city greatly weakened.

Therefore, Lu Balon felt the need to send someone to remind Jie Ziyu, lest the city be destroyed too much by the Qin general Wang Jian, after all, the city is not only the foundation of the Sichuan Alliance, but also the source of wealth of the Sichuan Alliance.

However, when the news of this early warning was delivered to Jie Zi Ou, it aroused Jie Zi Ou's suspicion - Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, deliberately left a flaw in Ruocheng to induce the Qin army to sneak attack Ruocheng, in this case, would the Qin army really sneak attack Ruocheng stupidly?

You must know that before Zhao Hongrun led the army to Sanchuan, Wei Ji, the Lintao Jun who was in Fenyin, wrote a letter to Zhao Hongrun, in which he made a comment on the well-known generals of the Qin State, including the commander of the Qin army and the grandson of the Marquis of Wuxin.

Although Zhao Hongrun did not know that Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi was the commander of the Qin army this time, this did not prevent him from keeping in mind Lintaojun Wei Ji's evaluation of this person in the letter - it was because of this that Zhao Hongrun would be so cautious when facing Wuxin Hou Gongsun Qi in Hangu.

As one of the staff of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, Jie Ziyuan naturally read the letter written by Lintaojun Wei Ji himself, and he felt that with Lintaojun Wei Ji's high evaluation of Gongsun Qi and Wang Jian, the latter two would not fall into the trap of the enemy.

Therefore, Jie Ziyu immediately sent someone to invite Lu Balon back to Luocheng to inquire about the latter's recent strategic arrangements for the Wei army, and after thinking carefully for a while, he finally came to a guess: the Qin general Wang Jian was probably not preparing to attack Luocheng, but Yichuan.

Because this matter is very important, Jie Ziyu did not dare to take it lightly, so he asked the guest who was a guest in Luocheng to verify with the latter.

After listening to Jie Ziyi's story, Lian Di glanced at the map of Sanchuan twice, and immediately recognized Jie Ziyu's guess: "Mr. is right, then the target of Qin General Wang Jian is Yichuan." ”

For the battle-hardened Lian Jie, it was too easy to see through the intentions of the Qin general Wang Jian, and nothing else, just "the Qin general Wang Jian made the golden cicada out of its shell in the north of Changhao Mountain, so as to get rid of the surveillance of the green crows", which was enough to make Lian Jian highly suspicious of the matter of "Wang Jian may attack the city".

"Then Wang Jian looks good, let Lian help you and others, right?"

may be realizing that the Qin general Wang Jian is by no means an ordinary general, Lian Di has a little fighting spirit in his heart, although he is now white, but the desire to fight with the world's heroes has not subsided at all.

But unfortunately, Jie Ziyu politely rejected Lian's kindness, and used a beautiful statement that "the army of our Wei army should be handled by our Wei army", and he was speechless and speechless.

Of course, Lian Refutation is because he eats people with a short mouth and is soft, and he wants to take this opportunity to help Zhao Hongrun and return this favor, but in this matter, Jie Zilu has long been told by Zhao Hongrun, how can he let Lian Refute return this favor so easily?

Not only will he not let Lian Jie easily return the favor, but he will also follow Zhao Hongrun's instructions, continue to eat and drink for Lian Jie, and use friendship to envelop this great hero of South Korea, so that Lian Jie can't stand it in the end and is willing to invest in Wei.

So, after rejecting Lian's proposal, Jie Ziyu sent a letter to Qu Cheng, the chief general of the Yanling army in Yichuan, on the one hand, to remind the latter, and on the other hand, in the name of "King Su's staff", he ordered Lu Balon to lead the army to support Yichuan.

But unfortunately, Jie Ziyu was still a step slow after all, and by the time his letter was delivered to Qu Cheng, the commander of the Yanling army, Qu Cheng had already been attacked by the Qin general Wang Jian and the Ling tribe on both sides, and suffered a defeat.

But it is undeniable that Jie Ziyu's letter made Qu Cheng understand where Wang Jianjun, the Qin army that attacked them, came from, and what the latter's intentions were.

As a result, Qu Cheng, who had already been ordered to retreat to camp for twenty miles, was ready to wait and see for a few days before making plans, and immediately divided his troops into two routes, on the one hand, he pursued the main force of the Qin general Wang Jian and the Ling tribe, and on the other hand, he attacked the territory of the Ling tribe, preparing to rob the latter's wealth - in the case that the main force of the Ling tribe left Yichuan to attack the Lu clan, the tribe's defense in Yichuan had become extremely weak, which allowed the Yan Ling army to plunder the wealth of the Ling tribe to their heart's content, such as sheep, slaves, and so on.

Under the attack of the Yanling army led by Yan Mo, the remaining forces of the Lingling tribe were defeated and retreated, and finally they could only give up the wealth of the tribe, abandon the sheep, and let the slaves break off, while the rest of the tribe's tribesmen, with the women, children, old and young, fled south, trying to cross the barren Nanliang and flee to the borders of Wei, Sichuan, Chu and Ba - like the Qian tribe, the Lingyuan tribe also has a large territory in Wandi.

However, under the reminder of Jie Ziyu, although the reaction of the Yan Ling army was said to be fast enough, it was still a step slower, and when the main general of the Yan Ling army, Qu Cheng, arrived at the Lu clan, the Wei army guarding the Lu clan, a part of the Sichuan and Yu coalition army led by Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng clan of the Yi clan, had been broken by the Qin general Wang Jian without defense, and even the camp of the Lu clan was broken by the Qin Ling coalition army.

At this time, the Qin general Wang Jian and the Ling tribe did not know that they had been abandoned by Gongsun Qi, the Marquis of Wuxin, and under the mistaken belief that the Qin army of Hangu would come to support, they blocked Qu Cheng's Yan Ling army on the one hand, and attacked Sima An's "Jianbei Wei Camp" on the other hand.

In the face of the sneak attack of Wang Jianjun and the main force of the Ling tribe, the Wei generals Ji Yan and Le Qian, who guarded the Jianbei Wei camp, were also stunned like Meng Liang, the patriarch of the Meng tribe of the Lu clan who guarded the Lu clan's Wei camp before, because they never expected that they would be attacked by the Qin army behind their backs.

In addition, the Qin general Wang Jian was very cunning and deliberately released rumors that "Wei Gongzirun has been defeated" and "the Shang Water Army has been defeated" in the battle, which caused the morale of the Wei army to plummet, and finally the Qin general Wang Jian broke through the Wei camp in Jianbei.

After a short discussion, the two of them divided their troops into two routes, one entered the narrow valley and joined Sima An, and the other moved to the Lu clan, preparing to reorganize the army in the Lu clan, unite the remaining friendly forces, and recapture the Wei camp in Jianbei.

After the decision was made, the Wei general Ji Yan led his army into the narrow valley and told the general Sima An the news that the "Jianbei Wei camp" had been attacked and fell.

At this time, Sima An had built a simple camp in the 200-mile-long narrow valley leading from the Lu clan to the south of the country, and fought with the warriors of the Qiang tribe guarding the narrow valley for several days.

When he learned that the back road was copied, Bosil's expression was a little ugly, after all, the fall of the Jianbei Wei camp meant that there was a problem with their military rations, and in the absence of food, although there were still a lot of Qiangjiao cavalry in the narrow valley, they might not be able to hold it for a few days.

However, in this difficult situation, Sima An remained calm and calm, as if he had not been affected in the slightest, and was thinking about the strategy of defeating the Qiang tribe.

『…… Perhaps, this is an opportunity to defeat the Karma tribe?'

Touching the beard at his chin, Sima An looked at the west side of the narrow passage of the sheep's intestines and thought secretly.
