Everyone was arguing in the hall, Bai Cang looked at Fu Zhu and Gongsun Du, and secretly said in his heart, "This Fu Zhu did advocate attacking the city at the beginning, but then he did not approve of pursuing the enemy soldiers, this person's use of troops is really unbelievable and fickle?" ”。

At this time, Gongsun Du swaggered and said a big thing, and when he saw that he was self-righteous, he no longer persuaded him, but said: "It is okay for the general to insist on pursuing, but it is necessary to send three scouts in advance to probe the horses, and to investigate in batches to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Naturally, there is no need to inform the public about such a trivial matter, father, since this is the case, then I will go" Gongsun Du waved his hand and did not take the words of frustration to heart, and said as a matter of course.

Gongsun Yan also thought about the words of frustration in his heart, and saw that the eldest son's meritorious service was no big deal, and nodded in response, "Okay, you don't have to take the foot soldiers with you in this pursuit, just take my three hundred cavalry guards, and go back quickly, if you encounter enemy soldiers, you can scatter them, and you can't chase and fight hard."

"Yes, I'll go back as soon as I go, my father can rest assured" Gongsun Du laughed and turned to leave.

Everyone in the hall had nothing to do for a while, Gongsun Yan waved his hand and dispersed the meeting and ordered everyone to follow the steps, just waiting for Gongsun Du to return to the city.

Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Cang and his party went straight to the inn where they had stayed earlier, but at this time, the building was already empty, so they naturally pushed the door and entered, and they were also frustrated.

Bai Cang didn't expect that Fu Zhi would come here with himself and the others, as a marching military division, he should have been on standby at any time in the City Lord's Mansion, although the battle was a little slow, he shouldn't move around at will.

In the front hall of the inn, everyone sat for a while, Bai Cangming's entourage rummaged through some materials in the back kitchen to prepare the meal, and the others sat and chatted, "Mr. Fu Zhu is not in the city lord's mansion, aren't you afraid that General Gongsun will blame him afterwards?" Bai Cang first asked the question in his heart.

"Hehe, Ding Shao doesn't know, although this Gongsun General is brave and good at fighting, but he is so happy and a little xenophobic, I am naturally fine when I am not by his side, he may still wish I was far away from him, so I don't want to compete with him" He smiled and sighed helplessly.

"I don't think General Gongsun is like a person with a small amount of energy, it's just a little extreme, Mr. Frustrated is too worried, but I don't think there is anything wrong with chasing the thief this time, why does Mr. want to stop it? Is there a mystery in it? "Bai Cang didn't know why, and no outsiders naturally asked to understand at this time.

"Ding Shao doesn't know, most of the barbarians of this Fan tribe live between the plains and water and grass, although they have coveted our Han rivers and mountains for a long time, but generally speaking, it is not suitable for them to live for a long time, so it has always been mainly looting, and does not occupy the city. And they have lived outside the fortress for a long time, accustomed to the life of riding horses, and they are only good at riding and archery, and they are not proficient in holding the city and attacking the city, not to mention relying on themselves to fight against my Han elite soldiers, if they don't have Zang Ba's so-called internal should not be able to kill at all this time, and it is impossible to have the idea of occupying this land, but Zang Ba fled from the battle and threw them here, isn't it just a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and it is not for our Han elite to ravage, so I expect to win this siege battle, and the loss is not big" Seeing Bai Cang asking, he smiled and explained.

"Oh, I understand this, it seems that the most important means of dealing with foreign tribes is defense, no wonder Qin Shi Huang spent a lot of money to build the Great Wall, but in my opinion, the thieves were defeated in this battle, and the army fled in a hurry, why did Mr. not want to pursue?".

Frustrated Zhu shook his head and said, "Foreign races have always been like this, when they fight a good battle, they are unstoppable, and it is possible to have a hundred enemies, but once it is not smooth, it is possible that the military will collapse and have no fighting spirit, and when the time comes, they are only afraid of escaping faster than anyone else, these themselves have long been used to it, and they also know how to deal with it, take this time as an example, since the thieves dare to occupy the city, there must be someone to guide them, although the city is broken and scattered, but as long as they get to the grassland, they will definitely be reorganized, and when the time comes, let alone pursue, it is also possible to be bitten back, Besides, the grassland is the base of the Fan people, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the endless grassland has been greatly enhanced, which is the weakness of my Han Dynasty.

"Why didn't Mr. Gongsun tell General Gongsun about such a big event? Wouldn't this chase make me a Han soldier sacrifice in vain" Bai Cang heard the analysis of the frustration, and it was obvious that this battle was very bad, and it was very likely that Gongsun Du's men and horses would be killed in a fiasco, and asked anxiously in his heart.

"I understand this truth, General Gongsun naturally understands, I have already told him when I brought it up before, he is just blinded by victory and can't listen to his mind, if I persuade too much, I'm afraid it will backfire, this Gongsun Du commander still has some ability, as long as he follows my words to explore the horse in three ways, there will be no accident, even if the pursuit fails, there will be no problem to retreat safely" Fu Yu said slowly, in fact, there is a reason in his heart, it is good to ask the people of his Gongsun family to eat some lessons, so as to save no one in his arrogant eyes all day long.

After hearing this, Bai Cang nodded and had a number in his heart, "It turns out that Mr. has a calculation in his heart, my worries are superfluous, after this battle, Mr. will be more favored in front of General Huangfu, and I also wish Mr. an early promotion."

"Where is it, Ding Shao is generous, but it is different from some sons and brothers, and he must be the pillar of my Han in the future, and Lord Thorn Shi should be relieved to have a son, hehehe~~~~" After a long time of contact with Bai Cang, he found that he did not have the temperament of those sons, if he continued to develop like this, it would be a material that could be made, coupled with the road paved by Ding Yuan as a thorn history, his achievements in the future are limitless, and it is wise to have a good relationship with him as soon as possible.

At this time, the wine and food were ready, and Bai Cangshan Yi then invited the frustration to the inn, which could be regarded as a small celebration banquet in advance, which made the frustration flattered.

And in a camp thirty miles outside the city, Batuo burst into a big tent and several generals were trying to discuss, "How many soldiers and horses have we lost this time?" ”。

"Big leader, the two thousand cavalry and one 5,000 infantry team we sent out this time have suffered a lot of losses, after the small rectification just now, I checked it, the thousand cavalry team has lost a full half, and the infantry team has also decreased by one-third, although there are still returning to the team one after another, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover for a while and a half."

When he heard this, he shouted with hatred in his heart, "It's all Zang Ba's big deal, if I catch him, I will definitely break him into pieces, and what's even more hateful is that the old thing actually said goodbye, and now there is no one in our army who can only go back to the water and grassland to recuperate."

"What the big leader said is that our department has suffered heavy losses, and if the other three troops take advantage of the situation to attack, we are very likely to be destroyed," the general next to him also said worriedly.

"The most important thing at the moment is to gather the soldiers and horses, you give me a quick time to gather the scattered soldiers and horses, as long as the strength in our hands is still there, I will never be defeated by those fools" Ba Tu suddenly shouted in hatred.

At this time, someone outside the tent came to report, "Big Chief, I found that a cavalry team rushed out of Chiwanguan, it should be coming in our direction."

"Give me another look, always pay attention to their movements, and report at any time", "Yes", after the spy went down, he walked back and forth in the tent and said angrily, "Is this to kill them all?" The person who led the troops this time was really ruthless."

"Big leader, these things who don't know life and death dare to underestimate us and others, and the small ones will bring some people to destroy him", and all the generals rushed to meet the enemy.

Ba Tutu waved his hand and said with a smile: "The enemy should not know the truth of our army, but I want to report the blood hatred and hatred in the pond after the pass, you wait for me to go back to each battalion, and pass on my order to immediately rectify the soldiers and set off towards the old Huanglin, I will tell them there and never return."

The old Yellow Forest, located in the north of the Chiwan Pass fifty miles, although the name of the forest, but mainly the land of the rocks, hundreds of years ago here is the stronghold built by the people outside the Saiwai in order to attack the Han Dynasty, but it has long been abandoned, the stones everywhere and the sparse ancient pines form a unique area, some merchants in the Han Dynasty go out to do business, often take shelter from the wind and sand here.

After Batuo suddenly arrived here, he looked around, saw that there was no abnormal movement, and ordered everyone to lie in ambush here and prepare to meet the enemy.

"General, there is the old Huanglin in front, we have chased it for almost fifty miles, except for some stragglers and wanderers, we have not found anything, why don't we go back?" The general of the Gongsun family suggested in a deep voice.

Gongsun Du looked at the sky, he had chased from early morning to noon, all the sergeants fought all night and rushed for a long time, they were already sleepy and tired, and nodded at the moment and said, "Bury the pot in the forest in front of you to make food, tell the sergeants to eat and chase forward for a while, if you don't see the enemy's main force, withdraw the army back to the city."

"Yes, would the general like you want to send a scout horse to investigate first?" "Still sent?" There are no less than ten groups of scouts sent along the way, and they are much more tired than us, so you should be considerate of the spies," Gongsun Du laughed jokingly.

"The general really loves soldiers like sons, and the sergeants have a good life with the general" The family general snapped his ass, Gongsun Du laughed when he heard it, and immediately ordered someone to set off towards Lao Huanglin to prepare food.

Batuotu hid behind the stone and gradually saw the pursuers in the distance, and smiled secretly in his heart, "It's good, don't leave if you come" and turned around and said, "Ready, no one is allowed to retreat in this assault, and the first reward of the enemy general is ten taels." The morale of the heavy reward was greatly boosted, and they all kept an eye on Gongsun Du's cavalry, for fear that these fat sheep would escape.

Before Gongsun Du came to Lao Huanglin, he suddenly found something abnormal, and said with doubts, "Why is this place so quiet?" It stands to reason that this is a place to stay, and even if there is a war at this time, you should see some fleeing people or animals, and there must be something wrong with the fact that you haven't found anything after coming for several miles.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and shouted, "Be careful, there are ghosts here."

Before the words fell, he heard a sudden shouting and killing sound from the old yellow forest, and a large group of thieves rushed out from the front, and killed him directly.

Gongsun Du is worthy of being a good general, but he is not panicked at this critical moment, and the long sword is pointed at "Dying and struggling, the sergeants listen to the order, break through the barbarian formation for me, don't take prisoners and kill them all."
