In front of the bed where Zhang Ji's body was parked, Li Ru found Zhang Xiu who was kneeling on the ground.

"The young general can know that the army has stopped many siege matters, Zhang Hou's bones are not cold, and the general will withdraw the army, how can this moment be sad!"

Zhang Xiu raised his head when he heard the sound and glanced at Li Ru with a concerned expression. To be honest, he didn't like the people in front of him.

From the very beginning, the person in front of him used himself and his uncle as a bargaining chip for his plan, used to persuade Guo Yan to send troops to Hedong, although Zhang Xiu did not say anything in the court at that time, but he was also indignant in his heart.

Now, he came to tell himself that Guo Yan had given up the military situation of attacking Anyi, and he had bad intentions.

Of course, Zhang Xiu knew that now was not the time for him to grieve, but when he suddenly encountered the bad news that his uncle was dead, he was already in chaos, and his heart was so chaotic that he could give birth to other thoughts.

As a last resort, Zhang Xiu could only follow Li Ru's words and asked:

"Embroidery is already in turmoil, it is difficult to find a job, I don't know what to teach me in the waiting?"

Li Ru listened to Zhang Xiu's words, and an inexplicable look jumped on the horse's face, although the young man with a sad face in front of him did not have the emotional fluctuations he imagined, but at least he had already been aroused.

Li Ru hurriedly continued to use his means, and asked in a pretended profound:

"Can the young general know why Zhang Hou was killed by an arrow?"

"The army has been attacking the city for days, and my uncle is worried about the war, so he is anxious to break the city, and he inspects the enemy platform lightly, which gives the thieves in the city a chance."

"The young general should know, why this Anyi city can't be attacked for a long time!"

After listening to Li Ru's successive questions, Zhang Xiu's originally lowered head was raised again.

Anyi couldn't be attacked for a long time, and now it is naturally because the city fortifications are strong and the soldiers are well guarded, so it cannot be captured in a short time. The reason can be traced, but it is because Guo Yan's army delayed for a while after entering Hedong, which gave the stronghold of Anyi City enough time to clear the field and improve the armament.

This is something they all know, but they can't proclaim it.

But Li Ru brought it up at this moment, if it is linked to the cause of Zhang Ji's death that he just asked, the object of the spearhead in the words is already obvious.

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Xiu's words were cold, and his tone instantly became vigilant.

Seeing this, Li Ru smiled, and continued to say to himself:

"Actually, what the young general said just now is not accurate, the reason why Zhang Hou will be ambushed is not only to be eager to break the city, but also to find another foothold for the young general and the soldiers under his command, I don't know if Confucianism is right?"

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he didn't respond, but lowered his head again, and the vigilance in his eyes dissipated a little.

Li Ru sighed leisurely, and continued intentionally or unintentionally:

"There are unforeseen disasters in the sky, and there are disasters in people. Zhang Hou unfortunately died, and Confucianism also mourned for it, but he didn't know where to go from here, but he had a plan? ”

Zhang Xiu was moved by his mind, his strong body moved unconsciously, and he stopped talking, and finally slowly spoke:

"Embroidery is clumsy in words, but there is still something to say in the waiter."

Li Ru heard Zhang Xiu's intention to reveal his heart, and the time for himself to think about it was almost up, so he immediately stopped going around in circles, put away his smile, and said solemnly:

"Good! Major General, you must also understand that the reason why Anyi City is difficult to capture is nothing more than the fact that the generals in the former army were greedy for small profits, and the later generals preserved their strength. If you sit back and watch the army retreat westward now, who will avenge Zhang Hou's blood feud? Who is looking for the foothold of the major general? Is the major general really willing to return to the land of the West River, and look at each other with Gao Shuo and Wu Xi and others in the army? ”

Li Ru's words hit Zhang Xiu's heart like a hammer, Zhang Xiu remembered that he risked his life to swim across the river, plotted against the Qiang people, his uncle was sick and joined the army, he died in the enemy, and his uncle and nephew worked hard, but in the end he gained nothing, and became a sword used by others in vain.

This scene in his mind made Zhang Xiu's face change greatly, his fists clenched tightly, and it took a long time to relax slightly, but the heavier breathing still couldn't hide the violent fluctuations in his heart.

Li Ru watched closely the changes in Zhang Xiu's mood, and his unhurried and slightly hoarse voice sounded again.

"Actually, Confucianism has a strategy here that can give the young general a chance to avenge this blood revenge, and he can also gain a foothold!"

Wow!

As soon as Li Ru's words fell, a sound of iron armor shaking suddenly sounded in the tent. Zhang Xiu suddenly sat up like a raging tiger, and his upright body brought the sound of the iron armor on his body trembling.

Zhang Xiu's eyes burned, Li Ru was intimidated by the momentum on his body, and couldn't help but hold his breath, just now, he clearly saw a flame, a flame of revenge!

"I want to hear about it!"

Concise and powerful words spat out from Zhang Xiu's mouth, although there was no other action, but there was an invisible penetrating force between his words.

"Ahem, Confucian's plan is that the young general will withdraw his troops first tonight, surprise attack Fenyin, seize the Hejin Ferry, and then set fire to it when the river is crossed, and burn the remaining boats along with the Jinkou plank road!"

"In this way, we can force General Hou's army to stay in Hedong and have to fight a decisive battle with Hedong soldiers and horses!"

"At that time, if the general wins, the young general can borrow his hand to avenge his blood relatives; If the Hedong army wins, then the major general can occupy Zuo Fengyi, as a foothold, and watch the fire from the other bank, isn't it a success? ”

After Li Ru finished speaking slowly, he showed a smug smile and looked at Zhang Xiu leisurely.

And Zhang Xiu heard Li Ru's monstrous conspiracy, his face changed drastically, and after a while, he snorted and said with a cold face:

"Is this trying to trick me into turning my back on the general, and then use my hand to trap the general in danger? The conspiracy of the servant can be described as sinister and vicious, isn't it, long before crossing the river, he has been planning in secret, right? ”

Zhang Xiu's heart-punishing theory directly hit Li Ru's scheme. Li Ru's face instantly became a little unnatural, so he had to turn into a few dry laughs.

He instigated Guo Bian to march into Hedong, and originally had the intention of letting Guo Bian and Yan Xing fight each other, one dead and one injured, but at this moment he was pierced by Zhang Xiu, although it was unnatural, but he quickly adapted to it.

He neither admitted nor denied it, and said with a sneer:

"But the one who dragged the army into such an unbreakable and unbreakable dead situation was not under it, but the general himself."

"Confucianism's plan is not only dangerous, but also fleeting, where the young general goes, and he is willing to make a decision quickly!"

Having said this, Li Ru didn't speak anymore, but in front of Zhang Xiu, he closed his eyes and recuperated as if no one was around.

The knife has been handed over to Zhang Xiu's hand, and it is all in one thought whether to cut at himself or to others.

Li Ru closed his eyes and counted silently in his heart, and when he counted to the seventh, Zhang Xiu's voice sounded in his ears.

"Even if I have this intention, I am not as good as others. Not only is it difficult to take Fenyin in front of us, but after the war, how can we resist the enemy who won in Hedong? ”

Li Ru smiled when he heard this, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Xiu, who was still a little worried, and said with a smile:

"If the young general is willing to do this, in the general of the chariot cavalry, in the case of the Son of Heaven, he is a man of great merit, and when the time comes, he will be dignitary in the court, and there will be a large army to help, so why worry about the enemy who won in Hedong after the war!"

The promise given by Li Ru during his talk and laughter is tempting enough, as for whether he can accomplish this terrifying event at the moment, it all depends on Zhang Xiu's personal courage and military strategy.

Zhang Xiu let out a long breath and turned his eyes to the outside of the tent. Outside the gate, a line of poorly guarded soldiers was kneeling, waiting to be tortured.

Perhaps, I will be able to use this group of people next!

···

In the territory of Pi's, Jiting.

Jiting is located in the west of Pi's territory, separated by Fenshui in the south, and close to Linfen, Pingyang and other northern cities in the east of the river in the east.

At this time, on this important place, military tents continued to rise from the ground, as if it had become a place where large armies gathered and stationed.

Yan Xing's main force to attack the Xiongnu took only ten days to rush back to Hedong County from Meijishan Yuting after learning that the county government of Guo Yan's army had broken through the defense line of the Great River.

Before leaving, in order to speed up the march, Yan Xing recruited a group of horses from Huchuquan, but for the military affairs faced by Hedong, Yan Xing was secretive and silent, in order to stabilize the minds of the Huns, he still left Meng Tu and Xu Kun 500 horsemen.

Along the way, the Marshall people did not stop, and the horses collected were not only the animal power of the foot, but also the rations of the army.

Even halfway through, Yan Xing already had the worst idea in his heart: Guo Yan sent troops to attack Anyi, Yan Zhu, Yan Xing and others were in a hurry, and the city fell to the enemy overnight.

Or, during this period, Guo Yan's army came to the city, attacked day and night, attacked the city in a hundred ways, and captured the city of Anyi, which was strictly guarded by the guards.

For this reason, Yan Xing even planned to shrink his forces after returning to Hedong, abandon the southern cities, and after stabilizing the northern cities of Linfen and Pingyang, he would send envoys to gather soldiers and horses from Hanoi and Henan, and Xu Tu would recover Anyi and other cities.

As for Hongnong's soldiers and horses, Yan Xing couldn't count on it.

Thankfully, nothing has gotten so bad.

After arriving in Hedong, Yan Xing first met the soldiers and horses of Wei Kai, Niu Song and others in Puzi and Beiqu, and learned that Guo Yan's army was still besieging Anyi's military situation, and then reformulated the military strategy, moved south to Pi's family, garrisoned Jiting, and began to order Linfen, Pingyang, Yangxian and other cities in the north, Dafa Tuntian, Fu Ji Jingzhuang, and gathered in Pi's Jiting.

When he learned that Anyi had not been captured by Guo Yan's army, and that the soldiers and civilians who had stayed in the city to lead the civil and military forces were still stubbornly holding on, Yan Xing used his troops to become more stable.

Anyi's city defense plan was through the hands of Yan Xing. If Guo Yan didn't have a surprise army to attack Anyi, and secondly, the army pressed up, and he couldn't break through the city in one go, then Yan Xing would have enough confidence to believe that Guo Yan's army would not be able to capture this city that had been repeatedly strengthened in the past few years.

On the other hand, if Yan Xing galloped to aid Anyi with the main force of a thousand-mile trek at this time, once he encountered Guo Yan's army in the wild, under the fierce battle between the two armies, Yan Xing's side was only afraid that it would be more than lucky.

Therefore, Yan Xing changed the strategy of using troops in time, on the one hand, he rested and reorganized the cavalry, and ordered Ding Zhuang from the northern cities to be widely summoned into the army, and issued them with weapons supplemented by the Pi Iron Officials, and urgently organized them into auxiliary troops to cooperate with the main cavalry battle.

On the other hand, he began to send light cavalry, which appeared frequently to harass the rear of Guo Yan's army, and at the same time sent envoys to contact the soldiers and horses in Hanoi and Henan, so that they could send troops to harass the flank of Guo Yan's army, so that Guo Yan's army would not be at peace in Hedong, and achieve the purpose of alleviating the embarrassing situation of Anyi being besieged.

In the end, it is to patiently wait for the fighter plane that the veterans of Guo Bian's division are tired and lead the army to retreat westward, what Yan Xing has to do now is to avoid its sharp spirit, attack its lazy return, find an opportunity in the defensive battle in Hedong, turn defense into attack, and pursue and annihilate Guo Yan's main army.
