Outside Linfen City, in the Baibo camp

Cao Yuan slowly walked into a camp in Bai Bo, the battle in this last place had ended, and the Bai Bo soldiers who had gathered here to defend were soon besieged and killed here by Zhai Hao and Cao Yuan.

With the overall situation settled, after Cao Yuan and Zhai Hao received the good news and pursuit order from Yan Xing, Zhai Hao immediately took the cavalry of his department to pursue the retreating Bai Bo army, while Cao Yuan was responsible for clearing the remaining Bai Bo soldiers and launching a general attack on the last stubborn Bai Bo soldiers.

Cao Yuan, who walked into the camp, raised his eyes and glanced at it, and all he saw was a mess, and the camp was full of burned ashes and the remains of soldiers on both sides who had died in battle.

Guo Tai's more than 10,000 Bai Bo soldiers who stayed in the camp outside Linfen City to block Cao Yuan, if they were only used to deal with Cao Yuan's attack, it would naturally be more than enough, but when they still had to face Zhai Hao's Xiliang cavalry, they immediately seemed a little weak.

These more than 10,000 soldiers and horses seem to be a lot, but to be distributed in the city gates on all sides to prevent Cao Kite in the city from attacking, naturally can not be gathered together immediately, so when encountering Zhai Hao's Xiliang cavalry assault camp, caught off guard, naturally unable to resist, plus then Cao Kite took advantage of the situation to also lead troops out of the city, under the two-line attack, the remaining Bai Bo soldiers immediately collapsed, and the camp of the Bai Bo army was quickly lost.

Cao Yuan looked at the black smoke rising into the sky, and finally let out a long sigh at this time, since the wolf smoke signal was ignited that day, the pressure on his body instantly doubled, compared to the pressure when defending Linfen City and resisting Guo Tai's Baibo army alone, there is more than that, and when he sleeps in clothes at night, it is inevitable to toss and turn, and it is difficult to sleep.

The signal he sent was also an important event in the key battle situation.

If this timing is not grasped correctly, causing the main force of the Xiliang Army led by Yan Xing to be destroyed in the hands of the Baibo army led by Guo Tai, not only will the Linfen City he defended fall with it, but the situation in Hedong will also collapse as a whole.

As a member of the Xiliang Army, as a native of Hedong, these results are not what Cao Yuan wants to see. Fortunately, everything that happened later was smoother than the battle situation they had initially envisioned, not only Yan Xing led the army to hold the siege of the Baibo army led by Guo Taiqin, but Cao Yuan's side also won one after another, he and Zhai Hao broke through a battalion of the Baibo army, and completely cut off the back road of the Baibo army's camp.

Recalling that since he became friends with Yan Xing, he attacked Baibo Valley, raided Yangcheng, fought Bianshui, sealed the hill and burned grain, and after galloping to the aid of Hedong, these battles in Linfen were very thrilling, and the soldiers also repeatedly encountered strong enemies and fought to the death, but in the end the enemy was all broken, and this victory felt really good!

Cao Yuan greedily breathed the air that seemed fresh and quiet after the war, and he saw that many armor soldiers wearing heavy armor and rushing to kill the sudden camp had now also taken off their armor, and they were a little relaxed or lying or snuggling, enjoying the temporary comfort on the battlefield after the victory.

"Sima, this battle is really relieving!"

At this time, the tiger head also came here with a team of soldiers, his footsteps were still ringing, and the sound of his loud voice had already reached Cao Yuan's ears.

Cao Yuan turned his head, looked at the excited tiger head, also smiled, and said:

"This time, we were able to break through the camp of the thief army so quickly, thanks to the perseverance of the Niu army, and I braved the arrows and stones!"

"Where is it, in this little bit of effort, where can it be compared to Sima's defense of the city and frustration of the enemy, and when it comes to being stubborn, who is in the army, can compare with the martial arts of the captain, this time the captain came to the soldiers and horses to cross the Fenshui, with fewer enemies and more, and defeated the Baibo army, it can really be described as the power of the divine soldiers!"

After being subdued by Yan Xing's force in Oxtail Gathering that year, the tiger head followed Yan Xing to fight in many places, saw Yan Xing's sassy and heroic posture on the battlefield, and admired Yan Xing's martial courage very much.

Cao Yuan also nodded when he heard this, but what he sighed was not Yan Xing's martial bravery, but Yan Xing's strategy and courage, this battle and the battle between Chu and Han, Han Xin led the Han army and the Zhao army of the battle of Jing Cheng are quite similar, but the rhythm and situation of the battle is faster and more critical than the battle of Jing Cheng, if Yan Xing is not a person who is brave and confident, how can he dare to personally lead the soldiers and horses, cross the Fenshui, and lead Guo Tai's Baibo army to pour over, and take this most critical move to reverse the tide of the war.

"In the past, after Confucius met Lao Dan, there was a sigh of 'seeing the dragon', and today I heard that the captain was alone and repelled the enemy, and we also had the sigh of 'divine soldiers', and the captain used soldiers, which was really like a god!"

Cao Yuan and Hu Tou praised Yan Xing's use of troops, but they didn't know that at this moment, the object of their praise was different from them.

"Although this battle was won, but it was too risky to win, if it weren't for the uneven white wave thief Kou Liang and the bad and uneven military strength, although our side fought against the water, but the victory or defeat is especially unknown!"

Looking at a battlefield with broken halberds and cracked armor, Yan Xing stood with his hands in his hands, and sighed with Xi Zhicai.

When Xi Zhicai heard Yan Xing's exclamation, he also nodded sympathetically, but he said with a smile:

"Although the soldiers are dangerous, some are dangerous, but the situation of Linfen is like a dangerous building, not a brave and courageous person, can not help the danger, the captain of this battle, the big break tens of thousands of Baibo army here, after this battle, the vitality of the Baibo thief Kou is greatly damaged, and the situation in the northeast of the river has been set half!"

Yan Xing grinned, smiled and did not speak, but looked into the distance, the cavalry chasing Bai Bo had already returned one after another at this moment, and they were escorting a large number of dejected Bai Bo troops, and were returning to the original way.

"Although this battle can't kill Guo Tai and others, but the white wave thieves first retreated, and then fled, and there were not a few soldiers and soldiers who fled, and it was expected that Guo Tai and others could bring back 20,000 soldiers, which was already very reluctant."

"If we can have more soldiers and horses in pursuit, I'm afraid that Mrs. Guo will even lose most of the soldiers and horses in his headquarters!"

Looking at those prisoners of the Baibo Army, Yan Xing said such a thing with some pity, but this is also a helpless thing, the reduction of the Xiliang Army who was seriously injured and killed in battle has been preliminarily counted, and it is close to two thousand, if it were not for the Fenshui blockade before, the lieutenant general of the army strictly issued the "Infantry Battle Order", and Yan Xing personally went into battle to break the enemy and boost morale, but I am afraid that the Xiliang Army, which has been repeatedly besieged, has already been defeated by the powerful Baibo Army.

Xi Zhicai followed Yan Xing, looking into the distance, he thought about it, and said with some worry:

"The battle for land, killing people; Fight for the city, kill the city. It is easy to kill thieves, but it is difficult to settle the people, although this battle defeated the Baibo army, but how to deal with these Baibo soldiers who surrendered, appease the displaced people who are dependent on the Baibo thieves in the north, restore the production and livelihood of the recovered city, and really gain a foothold in the northeast of the river, it is also a big problem! ”

Xi Zhicai's words just reached Yan Xing's heart, Yan Xing looked thoughtfully at the battlefield where the remnants were broken and the dead corpses were resting, he was silent, he chewed on these bitter questions after calming down, and after a long time he sighed and said:

"In the final analysis, the people take food as the sky, and these big problems are still the problem of rations!"

···

On the west bank of Fenshui, a flat boat slowly approached the bank of the river at this time.

Yan Zhu, who was coarse and brown, held a cane in his hand, and jumped ashore from the boat vigorously, followed by a small deer and several soldiers who were armoured, after Yan Zhu went ashore, he walked like a fly, and soon climbed to the nearest higher position, and when he looked up, he immediately saw the "Yan" banner that was still standing on the nearest battlefield.

"It seems that this good news in the past is not an exaggeration, these tens of thousands of white wave thieves really let him run away from the ghost captain!"

Yan Zhu stroked his long beard, and when he caught a glimpse of the somewhat nervous deer, he smiled and said a little jokingly.

When Xiaolu heard this, she knew that her master was making fun of herself, she blushed and pouted, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only follow Yan Zhi's gaze and look at the battlefield that had fallen into calm and silence at this time.

This kind of battlefield where tens of thousands of people have been fighting, when the soldiers on both sides are fighting bloodily, the sound moves all over the wilderness, and the wind and clouds change color, but when everything is silent, the battlefield seems so secluded, although there are still many Xiliang soldiers who clean the battlefield and escort the prisoners on the battlefield, but looking at it from a distance, they are all dead corpses lying on pillows and war horses screaming and neighing, so that the deer breathes in the air, and vaguely feels a faint smell of blood.

It is also strange to say that every time I meet him, there will always be swords of varying sizes rising, so that every time after the joy, I have to fall into the days of worrying and fearing him.

The fawn bit her red lip, thinking crankily in her heart, entangled in an inexplicable knot.

But when she came back to her senses, she found that her master had already gone down the high ground and went to another low-lying place.

I saw Yan Zhu squatting in a low-lying area on the riverbank, carefully straightening a seedling that had been trampled down, he grabbed a handful of soil from the depression, rubbed it between his fingers, and then put it on the side of his nose to smell it.

"Master, aren't we going to rush to the battlefield over there, what's wrong, but what's wrong with this land?"

"The overall situation over there has been decided, I can't do anything if I wait, but this is the place that the teacher is most concerned about!"

"You mean, the land here!"

Xiaolu saw Yan Zhu's solemn face, she knew that her master's character would never be untargeted, there must be something important here, which attracted his important attention.

Yan Zhi nodded when he heard this, holding a handful of soil, smelling the breath of the earth, his face was happy, as if he was holding real money, and said slowly:

"Yes, it is easy to break through tens of thousands of white wave thieves, but it is difficult to break everyone's thief nature, the so-called "heart thief is correct, moth thief is gone", it is not the sword soldier who can really pacify the thieves in Hedong, but it! ”
