Lu He's charge, the battle loss ratio between the two sides is about five to one, if it is not for Liu Guang to stop in time, it is estimated that the Hu army will lose more. With-Dream- . When Liu Guang went back to report to Liu Dan, Liu Dan asked him about the situation, and he answered honestly, saying that if the enemy army was not 2,000, but 4,000, then we would lose the battle.

After all, the real soldiers of the Hu army are only 5,000, the old and weak can only win food, and the Di and Qiang miscellaneous cavalry are not very useful - if it is a good battle, it is just a draw, a draw or a defeat, they can't even do it. Liu Guang felt that the quality of the Jin people was only slightly inferior to that of Liu Dan's tribe under his own command, but it was stronger than the ordinary Hun infantry cavalry, and as for the guards of the East Palace, although they had not actually come into contact with it, Liu Guang actually did not have much hope for those fancy soldiers.

Liu Yi was shocked when he heard this: "I only say that Yuzhou is a strong army in the world, and I don't want Xuzhou to be the same...... This is just Xuzhou Qianfeng's ear, if the headquarters comes, how is it good? ”

Liu Dan hurriedly comforted him: "Pei should be a scholar, and the fetal hair has not faded, can An have such a strong army?" I heard that he and Zu Ti are one, often lose grain and straw in Yuzhou, and I think Zu Ti will also have soldiers and horses to give back - this must be the pawn trained by Zu Ti. And although the pawns are elite, when the generals are transferred, they are still sluggish. After that, Pei Gai's headquarters is expected not to be like this, and there are less than 10,000 of them, even if they all come, I am not afraid. However, if they do come, it will not be easy to win, and now we should send generals out behind enemy lines to block reinforcements—if we can directly break through Pei Gai's headquarters, these soldiers in front of me may all be captured by me. If Your Highness has such a general, why should you be afraid of Da Danyu?! ”

Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and asked: "In this case, why should you send it out?" ”

Liu Dan couldn't answer for a while, so he had to be silent.

The Hu army is more than five times the Jin army-more old and weak are still left on the way to come-the art of war is common, so it is natural to copy out the enemy behind the enemy to block reinforcements, but the problem is that there are only 5,000 people who can really fight, and with two enemies and one, how many soldiers can be taken to copy the back road? Besides, who is the commander? Liu Cang's dispatches, except for himself, were all civilian officials-although Fan Long had been a lieutenant, he basically belonged to a logistics department, and he had not led his troops to win battles-how could he rest assured that he would hand them over to a heavy task?

The only suitable one is Zhao Gu, the problem was that Zhao Gu was sent to lead his troops to take Yangwu, and he is not currently in the army.

Liu Guang raised his neck, looked at the high lug, and saw that Liu Dan was speechless for a while, so he immediately surrendered his hand and asked: "The villain is willing to go!" ”

Liu Yi asked, "How many people do you want to go?" ”

"It doesn't have to be much, in addition to the adults, and then you can fight with my 500 foot soldiers, you must find danger and set up a position to block the enemy's reinforcements."

Liu Yi shook his head: "Today, the enemy can be captured in person, only Uncle Miao, how can he go out?" ”

Liu Guang said that it was okay - "Although the array is chaotic today, the camp has been completed, and all troops can be ordered to temporarily retreat into the camp and not fight with the enemy." Wait for the villain to lead the troops to cut off his back road, if the enemy has reinforcements, they will stop it, if there is no reinforcement, you can burn the beacon as a number, front and back attack, will break the Jin Division! ”

Liu Dan nodded: "This is a good word - I will take my troops and five hundred foot soldiers, one thousand Di, Qiang and Ru, and do it well, after this victory, His Royal Highness will have a heavy reward." ”

Liu Guang bowed down to receive the order, but before leaving, he made another request: "The general who is suitable to fight against the villain is brave, and it seems to be a poetry book, and it is a pity to kill." Please also try to give birth to it, and you can help His Highness - if you refuse to surrender, and wait for the villain to return and then slowly persuade him. ”

Liu Yi immediately promised: "You can rest assured, you know alone." ”

Over there, Lu He came back to discuss with Xiong Yizhi, and said with a smile: "Hu Lu is nothing more than that...... and then frowned slightly: "Only the hundreds of horsemen behind him are fierce opponents, if Hu Lu is like this, we will definitely die...... If there are only these elites, there may be a glimmer of life. ”

Xiong Yizhi pointed from afar: "I saw a noble man and an old man standing on the high turret, I don't think it's a vassal king, it's a great general-the one who comes to fight the virtuous brother must be this person's tribe." ”

Then he gestured: "I climbed high and looked, there were more than 10,000 enemies, and there were still squads coming from the rear, although I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but the flag was crooked, not a soldier, but a tired soldier." The four or five thousand miscellaneous Hu and the three or four thousand in the front battle are difficult to be the blows of the virtuous brothers; Only hundreds of horsemen can stop the momentum of our army; There are still one or two thousand people in the camp, and half of them are in full armor, perhaps they are also elite ......" The "neat armor" he said were naturally Liu Yi's East Palace guards.

Lu He asked: "In this way, those who can be enemies with me, inside and outside the enemy camp, are only two thousand, which is comparable to me." Now that the enemy's position is in chaos and morale will fall, why not use all the army to win a battle? ”

Xiong Yizhi shook his head again and again: "Virtuous brother must not be reckless. I see that the enemy base is about to run out, even if the soldiers are weak and weak, with this camp to help defend it, it is really not appropriate to attack rashly. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "All the thieves have entered the camp!" ”

Xiong Yizhi himself came down from the tree, and of course he would send another soldier who was good at climbing to take over and go up to look. Listening to the soldier's shouting, Lu He was overjoyed and said, "The thief is afraid of me!" Xiong Yizhi asked, "In this case, can I take the opportunity to retreat?" Lu He shook his head: "Since the thief is afraid of me, it is not difficult to defend it, how can he retreat?" If he retreats, he will be defeated in an instant—he will not attack before noon, but he may order his soldiers to rest and eat in turn, and build a camp for another battle in the afternoon. ”

After a short time, I heard the soldiers on the trees shout again: "There is a Hu army coming out from the side of the fortress, patrolling north, and I don't know where it is going." ”

One of the bears stomped his foot and said badly—"This must invite me later!" He asked, "How many are there?" "The soldiers reported that there were two or three thousand people on horseback and foot. Xiong Yizhi hurriedly said: "Hurry up, go quickly, if you don't leave at this time, there will be no luck!" ”

Lu He still grabbed him: "I can't go." At this time, the front of the battle escaped, and the thieves opened a camp to chase, and our army will be defeated! It's better to build a camp in a hurry, after the brother defends, I will defend the front, and it is good to delay the time - there are still three days' food in the army, and once the camp is completed, I will be able to wait for the help of the governor! ”

Xiong Yizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart, I can be killed by you...... However, military law is like a mountain, and there are many "brainless fans" of Lu He's road Pei Gai, who would rather die than surrender, rather fight than retreat, if he does not get Lu He's approval, he wants to retreat alone, the possibility is too small. Brother, why don't you think about me? You stop here, I'll go back to the rescuers first, the best of both worlds, how nice......

——————————

Liu Guang made a big show and went out of the camp to the north - he was not a conspiracy, it was a conspiracy, and he wanted to let the Jin people see it, so he was worried that the back road would be cut off, and he was naturally depressed and frightened - he galloped out seven or eight miles in one breath, until he could see Beiji in the distance, and then turned east.

Along the way, he rode out frequently, looking around, looking for dangerous places suitable for setting up a village, but unfortunately there were only plains and wastelands in his eyes, and even the slightly dense woods were inadequate, and there was no danger to defend at all. At that moment, they scattered half of the Di and Qiang cavalry, and told them to run as far east as possible, and then turn back when they saw the enemy.

Logically speaking, the distance between the forward and the rear army will not be too far, usually only half a day's journey, but when Liu Guang barely found a suitable place - not the terrain is suitable, but the distance from the Jin army is suitable - camp, dig trenches, and wait for more than an hour, but never see the Di and Qiang cavalry come back to report. This means that the nearest enemy reinforcement must also be in the east of Fengqiu City, right? Even if the horse gallops, it will not be possible to come over until late afternoon, or even dusk.

Could it really be as Chen Chuan said, that he ran away from the team specifically to chase him? Why is he so big-faced? It is said that Lord Fang Cai wanted to chase and kill those fleeing beggars, but it seems that he has never been able to catch or kill Chen Chuan...... That guy ran fast..

Liu Guang's conjecture was not bad at all, he chose to go to the village at this time, and the first group of fast horses sent out by Lu He had just arrived in Fengqiu City. After revealing his identity, the Fengqiu guards hurriedly welcomed in, entertained them warmly, and said that if the Xuzhou army came to Fengqiu, they would definitely open the door and incorporate. But you want me to go out of town for reinforcements right now? What are you kidding, there are almost no soldiers in the city, only two or three thousand civilians to help defend it, and it is difficult to even defend, where do you dare to go out of the city to fight......

By the afternoon, cavalry had rushed to the cangyuan one after another, and many horses had just entered the city before they fell to the ground. Fortunately, there were also one or two horses in Cangyuan City, so they quickly changed and rushed to Xiaohuang. It is another twenty or thirty miles, and when I arrived at the north of Xiaohuang City, I looked at the city, only to see the banner waving, in addition to the blue-bottomed flower flag of the headquarters, there are also flying eagles, fire crows, and spotted leopards...... Well, the Governor Brigade has arrived!

This time, Pei Gai went on the Northern Expedition, ordering the three battalions of "Wulin" to go first, and after the left and right battalions of "Lifeng" were combined - the money was lost, and there was no excuse - he led the "Lifeng" middle battalion, the second battalion of "robbery fire" (Xie Feng's "robbery fire" left battalion went to fill the suspicious soldiers), the third battalion of "Pengshan", the pro-guard department, and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers, marching in it. He drove into Xiaohuangcheng at noon on the same day—two days ago, he got a temporary opportunity to recruit troops in Waihuang, and the journey was delayed for two days, so he ordered Gao Le and them to wait in Xiaohuang and Cangyuan first—and listened to Gao Le's report that the left and right battalions had run to chase Chen Chuan, and he couldn't help but be furious.

This bastard, if he wants to take credit, is actually throwing me a hot potato, do you know it? really arrested Chen Chuan, do you think I will kill or not? If you don't kill the big brother, I'm afraid of provoking discussions; If he kills him, can Chen Wu give up with me? If he led his troops to fight, or threw himself into Hu, even if he just left the team and traveled far away, it would inevitably affect the great cause of the Northern Expedition to a certain extent! Do you want to make meritorious contributions and want to go crazy?!

Immediately raised the bamboo cane in his hand, and wanted to draw it towards the door of Gao Lemian.

Gao Le didn't dare to dodge, so he had to close his eyes and grit his teeth to bear it. But the bamboo cane did not fall in the end, because Pei Gai suddenly remembered the past, when he was in Huying, Xuan An wanted to whip himself, but was stopped by Shi Le...... Karma slave is still like this, I am a civilized person, how can I slap people's faces casually?

When he turned around, he hatefully slapped the bamboo cane on the case, and there was a "snap". Gao Le couldn't help but shudder, only then opened his eyes, and hurriedly asked Pei Gai for his guilt: "We also want to avenge the governor, and we really did something wrong, and I ask the governor to punish ......" In fact, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, Chen Chuan should be arrested and killed, what happened to the friendly army? As long as you find the right reason, annexing allies isn't a big sin...... It's not my friend in Xuzhou. Just approximately...... Such a major event, should it be reported to the governor first and then acted? What did the Governor say before? It seems to be "walking alone", which seems to be quite taboo.

Pei Gai said hatefully: "And put your head on your neck, and after the war, the credit will be discounted, if there is no merit, you will be cut down together, and the military law will be corrected!" ”

scolded and repelled Gao Le, Pei Gai had just sat down, and he heard Tao Kan next to him say slowly: "It's okay to chase and kill Chen Chuan, it's just that the vanguard is too abrupt, once you meet the enemy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save it......" Pei Gai suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly passed the military order, and ordered the second battalion of "Wulin" to quickly turn back and retreat to the cangyuan.

Not long after the herald soldiers left the city, an urgent report for help arrived, saying that they had encountered the Hu Han army near the ditch water, and there were no more than 10,000 of them...... As for where the soldiers and horses are, and who the Lord will be, it is not clear. Pei was shocked, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss, Zhen Sui smiled again and again, and his whole face seemed to be written: "Rubbish, I have to come and wipe your buttocks!" "Immediately asked for an order, saying that I would lead the troops to rescue the two goods.

Gao Le was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, but he had to go out and kneel, and said: "It's all the fault of the last general, the robe is in trouble, and the last general doesn't dare to be alone, or I'm in the middle camp of 'martial arts' to go to the rescue first, and the governor will come from behind." ”

Pei Wei shouted: "Stop, the enemy situation is unknown, don't act rashly." He immediately inquired in detail about the encounter with the enemy, and then said to Pei Gai: "The enemy is very strong, and although there are thousands of people, I am afraid that there will be reinforcements behind us, and if our army rushes there, I am afraid that we will fall into their trap - please make your way cautious." ”

Liu Yetang also said: "From Xiaohuang to the ditch water, although it is a plain, there are also seventy or eighty miles away, during which it is still necessary to wade across the water, even if the cavalry goes to help, galloping overnight, it must only arrive tomorrow, then Xiong Yizhi and others have met the enemy for a day and a night." The number of enemies is five times that of mine, and it is difficult to be lucky...... The army should move forward slowly, lest the thieves take advantage of my fatigue and invite me to attack ...... halfway."

Pei Gai said in a deep voice: "If you move forward slowly, wait if you don't save it!" If the robe is in trouble, how can you be indifferent? ”

Pei Wei persuaded: "Envoy, the strong man broke his wrist, I have to do it, if I am not careful, I am afraid that the whole army will be defeated, what can I do?" ”

Pei Cai raised his head, closed his eyes, and muttered for a while, but finally his eyes were wide open, and he took a few shots: "If the robe is in trouble, if you don't save it, you will be in vain, and the situation will be in vain?!" I just left the school, and I lost one-twelfth of them, so how can I talk about pacifying the Central Plains and expelling Hulu? And when the soldiers heard about it, they would all Yundu Governor not save his comrades today, and he would know if he would be cowardly and not save us one day? Then the morale of the army will be lost, and the morale will be gone! If the top and bottom are united, they can be revived despite defeat; If the soldiers do not believe in the generals, although the millions of them will fall apart in an instant—how can it end today?

"I have made up my mind, I will save the striker!"

Even if you want to give the order, mobilize all the cavalry, hand them over to Liu Yetang, and send reinforcements, the rest of the army will also march overnight, and be sure to arrive at the ditch water tomorrow afternoon......

The order was only halfway out, and Tao Kan suddenly arched his hand: "Make Jun ......" Pei Gai waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, Tao Jun don't say more." Tao Kan smiled faintly: "I don't want to persuade you not to rescue the striker, but please also plan a rescue strategy." Pei Gai glanced at him: "Oh, Tao Jun seems to have something to teach me?" ”

Tao Kan twisted his beard and said slowly: "Kan Busen, there is indeed a plan here." ”
