Yingchuan is named after Yingshui, and its jurisdiction is equivalent to Dengfeng City, Henan Province in later generations, and it is the capital of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in the history of our country.

Liu Tong and Wu Ji inquired all the way, when passing by Songshan, Liu Tong inquired about the nearby villagers and learned that it was Songshan, and wanted to go up the mountain to play, and then thought that Songshan should be just a deep mountain, and the famous Shaolin Temple in later generations should not have appeared at this time, thinking about meeting with Wuqiu Jian as soon as possible, he abandoned Songshan and went straight to Wuqiu Jian's military camp.

Liu Tong and the others came to the west of Yangzhai City, and saw Wuqiujian's military camp stretching for several miles, beating their horses forward, but they were stopped by the sergeants.

Liu Tong rode a red rabbit horse on weekdays, holding a dragon stick, and the northern sergeant did not dare to stop anyone who saw these two things, and they all knew that it was Liu Tong, and now Liu Tong and Wu Ji were riding horses, empty-handed, and the clothes were filthy when they traveled far away, and the sergeant thought that they were ordinary people, so they came to drive them away.

Wu Ji was angry and stretched out his hand to hit the sergeant, "Blind your dog's eyes, the champion Hou is coming, why don't you hurry up and greet it?" The sergeant didn't dare to slack off, didn't let the two of them enter the camp directly, and asked people to invite their own battalion commander, fortunately, the battalion commander was a veteran of Youzhou, and after coming, he respectfully sent Liu Tong and the two to the Wuqiu Jian camp.

"My little ancestor, didn't you sneak out again?" Wu Qiu Jian pulled Liu Tong and wanted to stop his waist and pick him up, but Liu Tong was lucky to stand on the pile, Wu Qiu Jian held back his red face, and he had to stretch his hair and continue to work hard.

At this time, Liu Tong was 16 years old and 1.72 meters tall, slightly higher than Wuqiu Jian, Wu Qiu Jian was stout, full of beard, very majestic, among the many generals in the north, and Dian Wei was the most powerful, but he could not lift Liu Tong, Liu Tong saw that Wu Qiu Jian was strong again, and he was more energetic, and he saw Gao Shun from a distance, and walked with a smile, so it was not good for Wu Qiu Jian to lose face, so he had to accept his true anger and let Wu Qiu Jian pick it up.

Wu Qiu Jian put Liu Tong down and scolded: "Stinky boy, you still know how to give face to the second uncle." As he spoke, he gently twitched the back of Liu Tong's head, "You are so nonsense, see that your father doesn't tie you with iron chains!" ”

Liu Tong was weak-hearted, and said in a low voice, "Second uncle, you don't welcome me so much, Master Tian saw that my book back was good, so he specially gave me a holiday." ”

Liu Tong and Zhao and Gao Shun followed everyone into the tent and sat down after seeing the salute. Gao Shun is still the same taciturn, because he is close to Liu Tong, he has been smiling, Liu Tong looked at it and thought, you just don't look good when you laugh. Liu Tong looked at the move, and saw that he was still dressed as a suave and Confucian general, although he was young, he didn't dare to laugh at him.

"Second uncle, I heard that your grain and grass were burned by Yuan Lian?" Wu Qiu Jian has never been so aggrieved since he joined the army, and when he saw Liu Tong asking for food and grass as soon as he came up, he glared at Liu Tong, turned his head to get the teapot and poured tea for him.

He said: "Champion Hou, Yan Xiang designed, Ji Ling feinted all the way, our army accelerated the march, the grain and grass baggage lagged behind, Yuan Lian dispersed and then gathered behind our army, attacking our rear army, our army's terrain is not familiar, the return aid is not in time, most of the grain and grass baggage are lost, Ji Ling and Yan Xiang stick to Yang Zhai and do not come out. It is clear that he wants to exhaust the food and grass of our army, so that our army will retreat without a fight. ”

Liu Tong nodded, "Yan Xiang is a wise man, our army has gone deep, giving him an opportunity to take advantage of, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, I don't know what the generals plan?" ”

Gao Shun arched his hand and said: "Yuan Shu was desperate for his troops, and forcibly recruited more than 200,000 troops, wanting to fight a decisive battle with our army, and his momentum was very great. ”

Liu Tong laughed when he heard this. Seeing that Liu Tong was not worried but happy, he asked: "Champion Hou, our army's food and grass are not continuous, Yuan Shuyang Zhaitun has heavy troops, and there is a large army coming from the direction of Liang Guo, why are you happy?" ”

Liu Tong said: "If Yuan Shu's elite soldiers simplify the government, I will be worried, if Yuan Shu's violent soldiers come, I expect him to die soon!" ”

Wu Qiu Jian has been frowning and sad recently, hearing Liu Tong say that Yuan Shu will die, put down the teapot, licked his face and handed it to Liu Tong with a cup of tea, "Good Tong'er, can you have a clever plan to teach the second uncle to break the enemy?" ”

Liu Tong took a sip of tea and shook his head: "There is no magic plan. ”

Wu Qiu Jian sat down with a lost expression. "But......" After hearing this, Wu Qiu Jian thought that Liu Tong was selling Guanzi, so he straightened up and listened carefully, and Liu Tong laughed when he saw it. Second uncle, it seems that you really have no way to take Yan Xiang. ”

"Well, if it weren't for the general's usual saying that you can't forcibly attack the city, and do that thing of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, I would have captured Yang Zhai a long time ago!"

"Champion Hou, why do you say that Yuan Shu will die soon?" Zhao Zhao knew that Liu Tong's military and political affairs were quite insightful, and he was not a casual nonsense person, so he asked.

Liu Tong Zhengse said: "Brother Zijing, my northern states, the government is harmonious, the land is several times wider than Yuan Shu, the population, money and grain are ten times that of Yuan Shu, and the supply of 300,000 troops is still insufficient for grain and grass, and the disaster in Yuzhou and Yangzhou is far better than that in the north.

Yuan Shu is like a terminally ill person, holding his breath before dying, why should our army fight with it? When our army retreats, Yuan Shu will disperse in one breath, riddled with diseases, and will die soon! ”

Liu Tong took a sip of tea and continued: "After Sun Ce's departure, Yuan Shu lost his land seriously, the people under Yuan Shu's tyrannical rule were not able to make a living, the generals of the forcibly conscripted army were centrifuged, the soldiers were hungry and cold, the more troops, the more serious the contradictions, once our army retreated, all kinds of latent contradictions would be revealed, and after a long time, they would collapse without a fight. ”

Pulling Zhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop nodding yes. Wu Qiu Jian said: "Without the order of the general, I don't dare to retreat!" ”

Gao Shun is a master of soldiers, how could he be puzzled, and said to Wu Qiujian: "Marshal, the general ordered us to send troops, but did not give us specific offensive orders, nor did he explain the strategic tasks, didn't let us decide for ourselves?" I see that Zang Xuangao on the Eastern Front has no intention of advancing, and recently I heard that the general has left the front line and returned to Yecheng, presumably the general is also thinking like the champion Hou. Not only can we withdraw our troops, but we can also inform General Zang Ba to withdraw our troops together. It is advisable to come back to crusade when the civil strife in Yuan Shu intensifies and my north has enough money and food. ”

Wu Qiu Jian is also a decisive person, rubbed his hands and got up and said: "Send someone to inform Zang Xuangao that our department will feint to attack Yang Zhai tomorrow morning, and the two generals of Zhao Zhao and Gao Shun will pull out the camp and retreat overnight. ”

On the second day, Wuqiu Jian sent troops to feint to attack Yang Zhai, and Gao Shun and the two divisions had already been opened before dawn.

In Yangzhai City, Ji Ling, Yan Xiang and others heard that Wuqiu Jian was attacking the city, and they were very puzzled, how could the national army suddenly attack the city without movement for many days? Yan Xiang stood at the head of the city, pointed to the national army and said to Ji Ling: "General, Wu Qiu Jian is a fierce general under Liu Kuan, Gao Shun has always been brave and strong, and he is the best in the world, but now the offensive of the national army is weak and quite abnormal. ”

Ji Ling has dealt with Wuqiu Jian and Gao Shun, and he thinks so. "Is it a feint? Feints must have a purpose, why is that? ”

Yan Xiang said: "General, General Zhang Xun has led a large army to Yangzhai, and Zhang Xun and General Yuan Lian, who is stationed in Shaoxi River, should be reminded immediately to prevent a sneak attack by the Nationalist Army, and send scouts to investigate the movements of the Nationalist Army." ”

After most of the siege, as soon as the sky turned dark, Wu Qiu Jian led his troops to retreat westward. At midnight, Liu Tong came to Wudu River with Wuqiu Jian's retreat, and saw that there were several pontoon bridges on the river, which must have been built by Gao Shun, Wuqiu Jian ordered the army to cross the river, and Liu Tong and Wuqiu Jian commanded the soldiers to cross the river.

Suddenly, the drums sounded, and the fires in the upper and lower reaches of the Wudu River suddenly broke out, and the shouts of killing came overwhelmingly. Liu Tong's secret passage is bad, a typical half-crossing attack. But I don't understand how I don't understand, obviously attacking Yangzhai during the day, and the Yangzhai defenders are busy dealing with the siege, how can there be a large army to intercept and kill themselves on the bank of the Wudu River? And the nearest Yuan Lian Department is also thirty miles away in the Shaoxi River, how can there be ambushes here?

Wu Qiu Jian knew that Gao Shun and Zhao had crossed the river for half a day, and the closest Zhao to him was at least five miles away. Don't think about it, hurry up and organize a defense. At this time, a small half of the 20,000 horses of Wuqiujian's army had already crossed the river, and the soldiers who had not crossed the river saw the ambush soldiers coming overwhelmingly, and they immediately panicked.

Liu informed that this was a critical moment, and if the troops were in disarray, the consequences would be unimaginable. Liu Tong ordered the guards to pass the order, the whole army lit torches, and the generals of each battalion strangled the headquarters.

Liu Tong ordered to erect the banner of Wuqiu Jian and himself, and shouted: "After the commander and Ben Hou personally break off, each battalion will cross the river in turn!" Wu Qiu Jian wanted to prevent Liu Tong from participating in the battle in person, but seeing Liu Tong's demeanor and knowing his personality, he couldn't stop it, so he led his troops to the downstream army to meet him.

Liu Tong shouted at Wu Qiujian: "Second uncle, after half an hour, you have to cross the river no matter what!" ”
