In the early morning of the next day, the Khitan camp retreated north, and Li Quanzhong and Sun Wanrong led the army to retreat back to Yingzhou with the spoils of the two battles. It took half a day before it reached Yuan Hui's ears.

"The Khitans said they would withdraw, what does this mean?" Yuan Hui wondered in his heart and found Yang Xuanji.

In Lulong City, the only one who can share great things is Yang Xuanji. Qiu Jing has to be guarded, Yan and Ma, don't mention it.

Yang Xuanji also looked a little puzzled, but he knew limited information, and he couldn't see much from the movement of his withdrawal alone.

Yuan Langjun touched his chin and racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't think of a reason. Soon, Yang Xuanji guessed: "Li Qianzhong wants to withdraw his troops and return to Liucheng to rest?" ”

"As soon as Huangzhang Valley was defeated, our army had lost the initiative in the battle. Even if General Li's army is approaching, it will be absolutely difficult to turn the situation around in a short period of time. Yuan Hui looked at Yang Xuanji fixedly: "If I were Li Quanzhong, I would never withdraw like this!" ”

Yang Xuanji nodded, acknowledging Yuan Langjun's judgment, and pondered: "Could it be that Li Qianzhong has another conspiracy, or something happened to the Khitan?" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little nervous, Yuan Hui's body relaxed, waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Yang, you and I don't need to guess here, our army is newly defeated, no matter what conspiracy he has, there is not much he can do......"

followed with a wry smile: "Yes, but we still have to strengthen the investigation of the enemy's situation, presumably there will be other actions on the Khitan side!" ”

"But now that the enemy has withdrawn, we can breathe a sigh of relief, and we can spread the news to the sergeants!" Yuan Hui mentioned a sentence.

Yang Xuanji immediately understood what Yuan Hui meant, his eyes lit up, and he got up and said, "I'll send someone to do it immediately!" ”

Looking at Yang Xuanji's back, Yuan Hui felt a little emotion in his heart, compared to Zhang Jiujie in Danzhou, this Yang Xuanji is better to get along with......

After two days, the situation in Lulongcheng was slightly calmer, and the morale of the army was temporarily cleaned up.

"General, the brother sent to Yingzhou has returned one."

Hearing the sound of this urn, he didn't need to look up, Yuan Hui knew that it was Uller.

When he was still in Jixian County, Youzhou, Li Yuanfang said goodbye, and Yuanhui was moved at that time. Although he left Uller, he still asked him to send a few people to Yingzhou to investigate.

Uller's subordinates are mainly Hu people, which is also convenient. It's been more than a month, and there's finally news. Slightly happy, then he became suspicious, he was not in the plan to Lu Long, how did the spies return to Pingzhou?

"One?" Eyebrows raised, Yuan Hui asked.

Nodding, Uller's face was not good-looking: "Only one brother came back alive!" ”

"Check it out!" He simply got up and motioned for Uller to lead the way.

It took a while to see the spy who returned from the wounds, and the injury was not serious, otherwise it would be difficult to escape from Yingzhou.

From his mouth, Yuan Hui finally learned about his situation. Previously, a total of ten people were sent to Liucheng, and there was no too difficult task, only to investigate.

However, these ten people, trekking through mountains and rivers to Liucheng, fell into an embarrassment and were hunted down before they could carry out any activities. In addition to the Khitan soldiers, there is also a group of purple-clothed people......

As a result, they died one by one!

This person fled in embarrassment, panicked, probably lucky, and let him escape from recourse, escape, and go straight to Pingzhou. Luck was better able to avoid the Khitan retreat.

dragged the injured body to Lulong City, indicating that he wanted to heal the wound and recuperate, and was happy to learn that Yuan Langjun led the army to be stationed in the city.

These ten people went to Liucheng, although they couldn't do anything after all, but they finally brought some useful news. Liucheng, Yingzhou, has become the nest of Li Quanzhong's rebels, accommodating the elderly, weak, women and children.

As Yuan Hui expected, the isolation of Yingzhou news, the snake spirit played a very important role in it. To his surprise, the snake spirit put a lot of power into it.

After caring about Li Yuanfang's movements, of course there will be no news. However, it is conceivable that Li Yuanfang must also have "adventures", of course, with Yuanfang's ability and ability, it is not as easy to deal with as the miscellaneous fish under Yuan Langjun.

Over there in Liucheng, there must have been some wonderful stories! Yuan Fang's beheading and splitting the body, chopping melons and chopping vegetables or something, must have been staged......

"This Yingzhou is really a tiger's den in Longtan!" Finally, Yuan Hui said in his mouth.

comforted his subordinates a few words, let them live well and recuperate, rewards or something, there will be no shortage. Walking out of the ward, Yuan Hui exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his expression was gloomy.

A hint of coldness bloomed at the corners of his lips, and Yuan Langjun turned his head to look outside, his gaze becoming sharper and sharper.

Ten spies, only one person remained, facing the pursuit of the snake spirit, trekking three or four hundred miles to return, which was difficult, but it could not be explained by the simple word "luck".

It's not that he doubts the loyalty of the spies, according to Yuan Langjun's thoughts, it is very likely that the snake spirit's people will release the water, and Zhong Ji followed the search and found himself, the messenger behind the scenes.

Perhaps, it won't be long before we will face the snake spirit...... After a long time, Yuan Hui's review is over, and I am very sure in my heart!

......

After more than a day, General Zuo Ying Yangwei and General Manager Li Duozuo finally led the army and received the defeat in advance

The army is too cautious.

Some belated meanings, the rebels have already withdrawn, but after all, they have arrived, there are more than 30,000 fresh troops, plus a large amount of logistics baggage that has been lost, Lu Long can be regarded as a reassuring pill.

For a time, the small city of Lulong gathered more than 40,000 people from the Great Zhou army. The momentum is violent, but the sharpness is premature.

Li Duozuo was quite powerful, Yan and Ma were directly reprimanded by him, and they were cowardly and did not dare to refute. For Yuan Langjun and Yang Xuanji, he praised him with a smile.

For Li Duozuo, when he was in the Shendu, Yuan Hui had contact. This person is also very important in the army system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially in Shendu, and he has been in charge of the army all year round. The commander of the army has also made achievements and made meritorious deeds.

Pingzhou Assassin Shi Yamen was directly occupied for military discussion. Including the four generals of Yuan Hui, together with the generals led by Li Duozuo, more than ten people. occupied someone's official office, and stabbed Shiqiu to sit quietly.

Li Duozuo is naturally in the main position, compared to Jixian County, there is no Zhang Xuanyu and others to compete with him, but his face is not good-looking. It is not good to be a teacher, and he is on the emperor's side, so he will not be affected.

The position of Yuan Hui has also changed, and it is on the left of Li Duozuo. The expression was a little subtle, and observing the faces of the generals in the middle hall, Yuan Langjun seemed to be particularly interested.

Li Duozuo didn't mean to talk nonsense, simply summed up a few words about Zhang Xuanyu's defeat, and immediately took the lead in discussing the current situation. It seems that he is really a general.

The generals now have a consensus that it is impossible to march to Liucheng again. Defeat was imminent, and in fact the first wave of the imperial crusade had failed.

Tens of thousands of troops were crowded in Lulong, hanging more than 400 miles away from the base camp of Jixian County, which was not a long-term solution.

"General Yuan, what do you think?" Seeing that Yuan Langjun had not expressed his opinion, Li Duozuo focused his attention on him.

Yuan Hui basically agreed with the generals, but he always wanted to say something. With a roll of his eyes, Yuan Hui coughed and said, "Li Quanzhong has withdrawn, and the urgency is suspended." However, in the past two days, news has come that the people of the Yan people have rebelled, and the Xi people of Rao Le are also unstable. General, next, Da Zhou has to deal with more than just the Khitan clan. ”

Yuan Hui himself didn't know what kind of mentality he was, and glanced at Li Duozuo's reaction. You must know that Li Duozuo is a Ya man.

"Ben has heard of it! Xi Ren's power is weak, and there is Zhang Jiujie monitoring on the side, and Li Dayu does not dare to oppose it! Li Duozuo behaved normally, but his tone was a little colder, and he said quite magnificently: "The rebellion in Yingzhou has stimulated those aliens. It's okay to jump out, just give me a chance to wait for a defeat and keep Zhou Youyan peaceful for ten years! ”

Li Duozuo's words were quite infectious, and he covered the corners of his mouth with a little surprise, and Yuan Hui arched his hand towards him: "The general's pride is commendable......
