Just when Zhao Gu was busy writing a splendid chapter, the generals had already rushed to Miao'er Liang with the five thousand cavalry gathered from Wei County and Daiwangcheng, but when they arrived at Miao'er Liang, Li Yan and Li Zhuo had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Through Li Zhuo's ingenious arrangement, the entire Miao'er Liang's Loufu cavalry, except for two or three horsemen who escaped, all the rest were explained here, which not only exceeded Li Yan's expectations, but even the other defenders felt that it was a miracle. It's not that the Zhao army can't defeat the Lou Fu army, but in this kind of encounter, the casualty ratio is one to nine, which is too rare. Moreover, most of the casualties of the Zhao army were caused by the stampede of cattle and sheep, not direct combat injuries.

When Li Zhuo happily told Li Yan the battle report and the news of the arrival of reinforcements, Li Yan was in front of the map, thinking intently. Although a few prisoners were also captured, Lou's annoying bloody nature made them rather die than say the purpose of Lou's annoyance. This made Li Yan really spend some time. If you know whether the building is attacking the city or plundering, you don't have to work so hard.

"Big brother, but are you worried about the purpose of annoying people here?" Li Zhuo looked at Li Yan with a serious look on his face and couldn't help but guess.

"Not bad." Li Yan nodded, pointed to the map and said to Li Zhuo. "You see, to the east of Miao'er Liang, there are mountains, rugged and difficult to walk, but in the area of Sanmafang, the field of vision is wide and the land is flat, which is easy for the team to organize and fight. Moreover, if you go south from Sanmafang, you will soon approach Daiwangcheng, so if you snipe the enemy, you must defend it in the area of Nanling. ”

"Not bad." Li Zhuo nodded.

"But we just locked the building annoying people in Miao'er Liang, although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is not ruled out that the other party is clearly going east into Sanmafang, but secretly came to attack Miao'er Liang, how to choose, is a big problem." Li Yan said as he expressed his judgment.

"So you're worried about how the other side will enter?" Li Zhuo asked thoughtfully.

"Not bad." Li Yan nodded and continued: "If this battle is just a temporary intention of the building, and the looting will be withdrawn, I am not worried that they will go south, at most they will be in the area of Sanmafang, waiting for the opportunity to go south." The city of Daiwangcheng is tall, and the general Central Plains army will not attack it easily without adequate preparation. What's more, Daiwangcheng is very close to Wei County, and once something happens to Daiwangcheng, Wei County can completely reinforce it. In my judgment, the opponent's southward movement this time should be mainly for looting, rather than besieging the city. ”

"So what does my brother mean by giving up the defense of Nanling and taking the initiative instead?" Li Zhuo looked at the map and said with some doubts.

"Not bad. There are still some sand dunes in the South Ridge area, which are not suitable for horses. I am ready to hurry up and lead the army north to Sanmafang through Nanling, looking for an opportunity to annihilate Lou Fu. After all, in those places, there are also some villages, which are looted and plundered by annoying people, all of which are the land of my Zhao country. If you don't resist, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by the enemy. Li Yan said with sharp eyes.

"What about me?" Li Zhuo knew that when the eldest brother said this to himself, he must have arranged for him to work. Otherwise, you would have let yourself go.

Li Yan looked at Li Zhuoxing's rushing appearance, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "You have already contributed a lot in this battle, I will allocate you 500 cavalry, and together with the remaining defenders here, you must defend Miaoerliang, and you must defend here." Once this place is lost, not only Wei County, but even the nearby Daiwang City will be in danger. In case at this time, Zhongshan Kingdom goes out of Feihuyu in the north, and the Daidi is completely lost, you and I will become sinners of Zhao Kingdom! Although he knew that it was a bit of a joke to hand over such a major defensive strategy to Li Zhuo, but now it seems that the only one he can believe in and entrust with the important task is Li Zhuo.

Li Zhuo looked at Li Yan's earnest eyes, and felt that the weight on his shoulders was a lot heavier. However, no one could have imagined that history played a big joke on the two.

The wind and dust on the plug, with a solemn atmosphere, always make people feel a little cold. Li Zhuo stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the figure of Li Yan with more than 4,000 cavalry gradually moving away, and suddenly felt a little lonely. In fact, in the art of war, it is easiest to feel lonely, because what you choose may be a path of no return.

"Major General, how do we defend next?" Presumably looking at Li Zhuo's somewhat sad expression, lest he fail to complete the task assigned by Li Yan, the adjutant general behind him hurriedly pulled the young general who had just served as the commander of the troops and horses all the way back from the sad atmosphere, lest he forget his duty.

Li Zhuo nodded at him embarrassedly, pondered for a while, and said to him: "I will take three hundred cavalry to patrol the north of Yukou, and the rest of the soldiers are entrusted to you, so be sure to prepare fortifications." Thunder stone rolling wood, the more the merrier, stumbling horse rockets, indispensable. If there is a shortage of supplies, you must hurry up and go to Wei County to find them, and be sure to be prepared before midnight today. ”

When the adjutant general heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Didn't the general order the young general to wait here?" Why do you want to patrol the north out of the valley? ”

Li Zhuo sighed slightly, and said quietly: "I thought about it for a while just now, thinking that maybe my brother had made some mistakes in arranging. ”

"Why?" A trace of panic flashed across the adjutant general's face, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Although the Lou Fu Army is a lot of reckless people, they are not stupid people. If they were going to attack the city, there must be a vanguard force, otherwise since it was a raid, why was the front army and the rear army so far apart, that they chased their brother to this point, and still did not see the location of their rear army. This is not at all like the marching state of an army determined to plunder. Li Zhuo said slowly. Plundering is bound to be a quick battle, and stalking the enemy is the most stupid thing to do. You've been in the Northland for many years, is it stupid to be annoying, do you need me to say more? ”

"This—" The deputy was a little flustered by him, and he was slurring his words.

"Yes, I think that once the enemy knows that there is a temple beam, as long as they can crush us in numbers, they will inevitably attack here, because this place is really easy to defend and difficult to attack, but comparatively speaking, it is much easier than attacking a city. In addition, it is relatively close to both Ul County and Daiwang City, making it an ideal base. After speaking, his face turned pale, "Big brother has taken these things into account, but he has completely forgotten that these factors are not only beneficial to himself, but also to the enemy. ”

"But the general, the one who is in danger, I will live in Gaoyang first, and I will live in Gaoyang to wait for the enemy. At this moment, our army occupies a favorable position, just wait for the other side to attack, why take the initiative to attack? The adjutant still didn't know much about what Li Zhuo was thinking. In his opinion, if he sticks to this place, it may not be easy for the other party to attack each other.

"Those who enter are narrow, those who come out are far away, they are weak and can hit me strong, and they can hit our people, and there is no land for this ride. This place is long and narrow, and not only cannot be spread out by the enemy, but it is also unfavorable to me. Li Zhuo said slowly, "I am invisible and invisible, so that Lou annoying people can see me rushing forward to patrol, so that they think that our army is completely prepared, hide their strength, and it is best to drag our army back to help, which is the smartest tactic." At worst, we can escape back to Miaoerliang and stick to this place to buy time. ”

I have to say that although Li Zhuo is young, it seems that because of his family, he was born with a keen sense of war. He not only predicted that Lou Annoying might not go to Sanmafang and go south to Miaoerliang, but also analyzed the situation of both the enemy and us, and did not defend the dangerous place, but first made a surprise attack on the ecstasy formation, not only bold, but also careful, this way of thinking is far beyond more than one level of the deputy general. Even if it is better than his eldest brother Li Yan, he will not let it out.

Therefore, many generals in ancient times, some could command thousands of people, some could lead ten thousand, and some could command hundreds of thousands of people. In ancient times, in this era of traffic blockage and poor communication, it has achieved a reputation through the ages, which is really not easy, and it can be seen that the profession of a general, sometimes, really has a lot to do with talent.

Li Yan was about to go down the mountain along the mountain beam, but the adjutant general came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't the major general express his opinion when the general was here just now?" ”

Li Zhuo stopped when he heard this, was slightly stunned, then raised his head, and said with some sly in his eyes: "If you say it, at this moment, will you still have the opportunity to lead the troops?" With that, he laughed and turned and went down the mountain. Only the deputy general was left alone on the mountain beam, and he stayed there in a daze.

When he came back to his senses, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves, which disappeared into the bend of the valley, and only the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley for a long time.

At the same time, right beside the Sanggan River, the army of Lou Fu, who had just crossed the river, gathered around the most special force in the middle, and surrounded it like a moon and stars, as if this was their master.

In the makeshift tent, a middle-aged man sat down and looked at the ragged soldiers kneeling in front of him, their bodies covered in scars, their hands tied behind their backs, and their faces covered in dead gray, as if they had only their shells left.

The middle-aged man's face was pale, and the ever-changing horsewhip in his hand betrayed his calm expression, and it could be seen that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

Under him, several Lou Fu generals stood there, looking at the soldiers for a while, looking at the people on the top, exchanging glances with each other, and no one dared to say anything. For a moment, the whole tent was filled with strange tranquility.

"Someone." Finally, the middle-aged man put down the horsewhip, closed his eyes, and said lightly. "Drag them down and show them to the public!" His tone was cold, and people did not dare to disobey, as if what he said was the judgment of the legendary Hades, which could not be erased. Everyone could only watch as a few people kept crying and begging for mercy, but no one dared to intercede for them. Because everyone knows that the person above is a master who says the same, and once he makes a decision, he will never change it.

The tent was filled with strange noises and unexpected silence.
