Chapter 91: Jia Xu's Calculations
Pei Qing didn't expect that at this time, the other party would still have reinforcements, although he currently has an advantage, but if he falls into the middle and back attack, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, so in desperation, Pei Qing had no choice but to order the troops to be collected, make way for the other party, and let them leave.
"I really didn't expect that at this time, the other party still has reinforcements, in fact, the most important thing is that our army has few soldiers, otherwise even if they have reinforcements, I am not afraid at all, but today's results can be regarded as okay, after this battle, it is estimated that Li Wei's morale will decline again."
Watching Li Dao's army and Li Meng gradually converge, Pei Qing's heart was very unwilling, but he also knew that there was no way to do it, he hit Li Dao the occasion of the surrender, and achieved such a big result, it was also a relatively big victory, this battle is enough to inspire people, boost morale, I believe that in this way, as long as the small victories continue to accumulate into big victories, there is still hope for repelling the rebellion of the Xiliang army.
"If it weren't for the sudden reinforcements of the enemy army, it is very likely that this Li Dao would be killed today, as long as Li Dao dies, the Xiliang warlord will be able to suffer heavy losses, and it is even possible to be torn apart from now on, it is really better to be counted as a human being."
Pei Qing sighed, it seemed that if he wanted to trap Li Dao to death, it was not a simple matter, and he needed to make long-term preparations.
At this time, I saw Zhang Chao shaking his head and saying: "It can be calculated that Li Dao will fail, and he can send troops to reinforce in time, it seems that there are also high-ranking people in the other camp, we can't take it lightly." ”
"Hehe, presumably the so-called master is Jia Xu," Pei Qing took Zhang Chao's words and sighed softly: "This person is worthy of being a poisoner, he was able to see through my strategy, and sent troops in a timely and decisive manner, which shows that his wisdom is not ordinary. ”
Xun You, who was on the side, suddenly said after hearing this: "Jia Xu? I had heard of this person when I was in the court, and I had heard that this person was clever and scheming, and he had no last resort, but unfortunately he had not been able to see his true ability. ”
Pei Qing and they were about to lead the army back to Xinfeng, but suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and looked at it, it turned out to be Li Dao who led his army back, and this time it was not only Li Dao's army that came, but also 20,000 or 30,000 people, including Hu Zhen, who was familiar with the banner of the Xiliang Army, suddenly turned pale, and whispered to Pei Qing: "General, it's not good, this time in addition to Li Dao, there are also Li Meng and Fan Chou, I have few soldiers, I'm afraid this battle is a little bad." ”
Pei Qing nodded after listening, on the surface, he looked indifferent, but he was very nervous in his heart, although Li Dao's army had an advantage, but Li Dao had just suffered a defeat, and the morale of the army was unstable.
However, Pei Qing actually has his difficulties now, because although the thousands of people under Hu Zhen's command are still following their orders, they have not been fully integrated after all, and when they fought against Li Dao before, they relied on righteous indignation, and now that the battle is over, if they fight again, they may not have the courage they had before, and now the Xiliang army has an absolute advantage, once they are about to defect, then they will be in danger.
Therefore, if Li Dao still launched an attack, he was afraid that he could only abandon Hu Zhen's thousands of people and sacrifice his life to break through, so I am afraid that his losses would be more than Li Dao, which was far from his original plan.
"I'm afraid this time it's from this Jia Xu's plan again, this guy is really ghostly, as long as Li Dao starts a war, the losses of our army are really unbearable." Pei Qing secretly smiled bitterly, this Jia Xu really took everything just right, and scolded himself at the critical moment, so that he could only accept the undefeated and defeated ending.
However, what Pei Qing didn't expect was that the other party did not attack directly, but silently blocked them outside the dense forest, and actively deployed defense.
Pei Qing's face changed even more when he saw this scene, because he suddenly thought of something, it turned out that the other party didn't want to start a war with him at all, but just wanted to besiege them with heavy troops, presumably at the same time, they were still gathering heavy troops to attack Xinfeng City, right? Once Xinfeng is captured, they will become a tree without roots, water without a source, even if the other party does not attack at that time, their own side will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and at that time, the old troops of the Xiliang army of thousands of nonsense will definitely surrender to them, and at that time, there is no need for Li Wei's army to do it, Pei Qing and they will be defeated.
"And if we break through now, we will have to abandon these thousands of Xiliang soldiers, once they are abandoned, it is a question whether I can break through with only these 3,000 people, even if we can break through, what can I rely on to relieve the crisis of the siege? This Jia Xu is really calculating. ”
Pei Qing is really impressed by Jia Xu's calculations now, and even Xun You is full of admiration, sighing to himself.
"But Jia Wenhe wants to trap me just by relying on this, it's impossible." Pei Qing suddenly smiled faintly, and then ordered: "Pass my general order, all the soldiers retreat into the dense forest, I think they dare to chase after me?" ”
"The other party is cavalry, of course they don't want to enter the dense forest to fight, so we are safe, but in this way, we can't get out, presumably the other party must be attacking the city with all its strength at this time, right? Once the city of Xinfeng is broken and we lose our foundation, they will definitely turn against us, and even if they besiege but not attack at that time, as long as a few days pass, our food and water will be cut off, and in the end it will be a dead end. Rao is Xun Yu is wise, and now his face is also full of melancholy, and he whispered in front of Pei Qing.
But seeing Pei Qing's mysterious smile, he said to Xun You: "Gongda, don't worry, I have already made a foolproof plan, this time we will definitely be able to get out of the way, not only that, we can also rescue Xinfeng City overnight, although Jia Xu is clever, he will definitely not calculate this." ”
"Oh? I wonder if the general has any way to get out smoothly? Hearing this, Xun You's whole body was suddenly slightly shocked, and he asked with a happy face.
"Hehe, it's also fortunate that I thought about it one more step when I came, and our army only needs to do this, and they can leave easily." Pei Qing smiled faintly, ordered the army to extinguish the torches, and then did it according to his plan.
