Li Tong led the Wei army on a quick march towards Yangzhou. ***

This movement immediately attracted the attention of Xu Shu and Tai Shici. The two armies merged into one place, followed behind Xu Shu's ass, and clung to it, wanting to take down Li Tong's 60,000 Wei troops.

Two days later, Li Tong led the army out of Xuzhou and set foot in Yangzhou.

Previously, Han Hao and Yang Chi had led 40,000 Wei troops to leave quietly.

Although the soldiers who followed Li Tong knew that most of the soldiers were missing, they also secretly wondered what the rest of the soldiers were going to do? But no one raised it, and no one dared to ask, they all put their doubts in their hearts and continued to follow Li Tong on the way, they didn't know that they had become outcasts.

Li Tong hurried with the soldiers non-stop, and sent countless scouts to inquire about Xu Shu and Tai Shici's movements, and was relieved to learn that the two were still following behind with a large army.

The Shu army still followed, which proved that the plan was successful.

He led the army to run around constantly, constantly rushing towards Yangzhou, delaying as much time as possible.

The longer it was consumed, the safer the soldiers led by Han Hao and Yang Chi would be.

After another day, the army was already in Yangzhou. At this time, the food in the army had been exhausted, and the 20,000 soldiers had no food to eat, they were all hungry, and the situation was difficult.

The army stopped and rested in place.

Li Tong sat casually on the ground, looking haggard.

The armor on his body was torn, and he didn't know where to throw his helmet, and he didn't have the high-spirited appearance of the past. The bright eyes were no longer translucent and full of countless bloodshots. There was a layer of dirt on his face, a little stain on the bridge of his nose, chapped lips, and a sallow complexion.

At this moment, Li Tong is completely a lost dog.

"My lord, the food is running out, the soldiers are hungry, you don't let the soldiers go around and get some food back. In less than two days, the army will be dispersed. ”

A partial general sat next to Li Tong, his face full of worry.

Li Tong raised his head, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Wars are frequent, and the people's lives are not easy, how can we rob the people?" This matter is not negotiable, and it is not allowed to go around and plunder the people. ”

The general immediately asked: "What do you say you should do if there is no food?" ”

Li Tong didn't answer directly, but asked, "How far is the Shu army from us?" ”

"Twenty miles!"

Without hesitation, the general said the specific figures, and continued: "The soldiers in the army are physically exhausted, and they are all tired, unable to run fast, and have no strength to fight. The last general estimated that we would be caught up by the Shu army behind us today. My lord, what are you going to do when the Shu army is coming? ”

Seeing that Li Tong didn't talk about food, the general asked how to face the attack of the Shu army.

Li Tong said: "Order, give up resistance, and the Shu army will surrender when it comes." ”

The general stood in place, his mouth wide open, and there was an incredible look in his eyes. Immediately, the general let out a sigh of relief. Instead of worrying and being scared all day long, running for your life all day long, it is better to simply surrender.

He turned around and yelled in the army to get the word out.

When the news spread, countless soldiers lay down directly, not being careful. During the time they rushed to Yangzhou, they were worried and scared every day, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't sleep well, and they had to run away desperately. On days like these, the soldiers have long had enough of it, and they no longer have to worry about it after surrendering.

Li Tong sat quietly, and there was no one around.

He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty, the minister tried his best to hold off the Shu army, tried his best, and was loyal to you." The minister's wife and children are still in Shouchun, so the minister surrendered, not asking for forgiveness, but only asking for a clear conscience. After finishing speaking, Li Tong let out a long breath, and the whole person relaxed, but it seemed to have lost his spirit.

Time passed gradually, and the soldiers around him were still talking.

The Wei army was already in disarray, without any discipline.

"Da! Da!! ”

The sound of war horses, footsteps, and shouts of killing in the sky came from the surroundings where the Wei army was resting. Xu Shu and Tai Shici arrived with their troops and quickly surrounded 20,000 Wei troops.

Li Tong had already given the order not to resist, and the soldiers simply gave up.

Xu Shubing controlled the Wei army bloodlessly, and immediately ordered the soldiers to collect the weapons of the Wei army and control the situation. He rode to Li Tong's side and said with a smile: "Li Tingshi, I've been looking up for a long time." ”

Li Tong returned the salute with his fists and did not speak.

Tai Shi Ci waved his hand, and immediately a soldier tied up Li Tong.

Xu Shu and Tai Shici didn't talk to Li Tong too much, and directly led the army to leave. In this way, Li Tong felt a little confused. As long as he is a clear-eyed person, he can see that there are very few soldiers in his army, and he can also see that he is in the middle of the plan, but Xu Shu is a breezy appearance, and Tai Shici is the same, so he has no intention of asking.

This change made Li Tong suspicious.

He looked at Xu Shu and asked, "Lord Xu, didn't you notice that there are 40,000 troops missing?" ”

Xu Shu smiled: "Li Tingshi, you really didn't hold back and took the initiative to mention it." Do you think Han Hao can escape with his army? Impossible! I have already cast a big net between Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and this net has been waiting for a long time, as long as the Wei army wants to flee north, it will definitely encounter obstacles, and it is impossible to escape. ”

Li Tong frowned and said, "How do you know about my division of troops?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "What plan do you have, I don't know, and I don't see it." But I'm sure of one thing, you can't kill yourself, and you will definitely find a way to go north to Yuzhou. So, I just need to cast a net between Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and let the soldiers wait for the rabbit. Although it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, it is worth it to take down your 60,000 Wei troops. ”

After Li Tong heard this, he was silent.

Yang Chi and Han Hao left with their troops, can they escape?

At this moment, Li Tong also felt unconfident, and he didn't know if Han Hao could succeed. He had already surrendered, and all he could do was pray that Yang Chi and Han Hao would succeed in entering Yuzhou.

……

After Han Hao and Yang Chi left, they secretly went north.

All the way to the march, the soldiers saved food and tried to save as much as possible, so as not to be unable to support Yuzhou.

After Han Hao and Yang Chi discussed, they agreed that it was better to bypass Huailing County, so they were surprised. The two didn't know that Xu Shu had spread a big net between Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and as soon as there was a stir, they were detected. Before the two arrived in Huailing County, they had already been discovered.

The news reached Gan Ning's ears, and he immediately launched the deployment.

At the beginning, Xu Shu, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai led 60,000 Shu troops to be stationed in Huailing County, and Tai Shici replenished the troops to 20,000 in Shouchun, with a total of 80,000 troops on both sides.

Xu Shu and Tai Shici led 30,000 soldiers in pursuit, and Gan Ning laid out with the remaining 50,000 troops.

Han Hao led the army around Huailing County and wanted to go north, but Gan Ning had already completed the deployment of troops and gathered the army back. Han Hao found that the road was blocked by the Shu army, and his heart sank to the bottom, knowing that he was about to face a bloody battle. The two armies set up a formation, and Gan Ning carried the Hengjiang knife and stared at Han Hao with a smile.

He was not in a hurry at all, as long as Han Hao did not enter Yuzhou, it would be fine.

Han Hao's brows furrowed tightly, he glanced at Gan Ning, turned his gaze to Yang Chi beside him, and asked, "Master Yang, the army was blocked by the Shu army, what do you say?" ”

Yang Chi said in a deep voice: "When the two armies meet, only the brave wins, and they can only move forward to kill." ”

Han Hao nodded, turned his horse's head to the forty thousand soldiers behind him, raised the war knife in his hand, and roared loudly: "Brothers, we have passed Huailing County, and we are about to enter Yuzhou. But the Shu army blocked the way, and our way of life was blocked, and it was impossible to continue advancing. Now, it's time to fight hard, kill it, and you can save your life. Raise the war knives in your hands, fight a bloody way, kill back to Yuzhou, we want to go home. ”

The word 'go home' made countless Wei Jun's eyes red, and they clenched the war knife in their hands.

"Kill it!!"

Han Hao roared as hard as he could, cheering up the Wei soldiers loudly.

He knew that the Shu army was ready to work, had abundant physical strength, and occupied more advantages. In particular, the Wei soldiers were tired, and the only thing that could stimulate them was the hope of survival.

Only in this way can there be a desperate battle.
