Changping Pavilion, located in the middle of Shangdang, is an extremely important strategic place in Shangdang County, controlling the passage leading to the central part of Shangdang and Zhao County.

After Zhang Baiqi and Liu Shi retreated to Changping, they relied on Danzhuling and divided their troops to defend it, Zhang Baiqi guarded Daliang Mountain, and Liu Shi guarded Hanwang Mountain.

These two mountains are the place where Lian Po cantoned the troops, when Lian Po resisted Qin, relying on the two mountains, stationed at these two commanding heights, it was a bird's-eye view of a radius of dozens of miles, the movement of the enemy and me, at a glance.

Now Zhang Baiqi and Liu Shi are guarding the two mountains, wanting to follow Lian Po's garrison and block the enemy with the Danshui defense line.

On the ancient battlefield of Changping, the white marks of the sword slashing on the long wall are still clearly visible, and the cold wind blows along the long wall, making a burst of whimpering sounds, like an old ghost annoyed and crying.

I heard people nearby say that every late at night, there is a faint mournful cry in the place where 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed, and they have been crying for hundreds of years, they say that it is the soul of the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping.

The sun is about to set, the mountains and rivers are wrapped in the setting sun, the sunset has been continuous, and the burning clouds on the horizon are like blood on the battlefield, gushing from the throat, rendering the whole world.

A war drum sounded in the camp of the Montenegrin Army in Changping Pavilion, and the big tent of the Chinese army was very quiet, not that there was no one, but that everyone did not speak, and the big and small commanders of the Montenegrin Army were all depressed, as listless as frosted eggplants.

"Qu Shuai ......" Someone suddenly opened the tent and entered, it was Zhang Bai's sentry who was sent north to contact Zhang Yan.

"How? Can Zhang Qushuai break through the tun and stay behind the enemy? Zhang Baiqi's eyes were full of longing.

The heart of the big and small Qu Shuai under the tent tightened, and he looked at the body of the sentry horseman, who swallowed a walnut in his throat, and spoke intermittently: "Qi Qu Shuai, Zhang, Zhang Qu Shuai, he, he was defeated." ”

As soon as the sentry said this, there was a murmur in the quiet tent, which was the sound of them gasping coldly.

Zhang Baiqi Huo Ran got up, strode forward, and held the sentry horse in his hand: "Bold, you dare to disturb the morale of the army." ”

"Qu Shuai......." The sentry squirp sobbed lowly, and his eyes were red and swollen: "Zhang Qushuai was not only defeated, but only Zhang Qushuai and Zuo Zhang's Baqu Shuai survived the soldiers and horses that participated in the battle, and the rest of the men and horses were ...... All... Died in battle, and left two in the tun. ”

Zhang Baiqi was frightened, Zhang Yan was defeated, what was the point of them staying here?

"Brother Zhang!" Liu Shi hurriedly suggested: "Qu Shuai is defeated, let's withdraw quickly, otherwise the enemy army will be surrounded, and we will wait for ......."

Liu Shi didn't say the latter sentence, he actually didn't want the latter situation to happen, otherwise he would follow in the footsteps of Zhao Jun back then.

Zhang Bai looked at him blankly, as if he had lost his soul, and after a long silence, he suddenly said: "Let's go, what should Qu Shuai do?" ”

"When will you withdraw?" Liu Shi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"Wait for Qu Shuai!" Zhang Baiqi clenched his fists, and his tone was unquestionable.

"What if Qu Shuai doesn't come?" Liu Shi stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, and said in a hurried manner: "Withdraw, it's too late if you don't withdraw?" ”

Liu Shi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he didn't want to accompany the 400,000 Zhao Jun's unjust souls here.

Zhang Baiqi broke away from Liu Shi, immediately pulled out his knife and slashed on the table: "If you retire from the army, there is such a case." ”

Liu Shi was silent, and the big and small Qu Shuai in the tent didn't dare to argue, after losing the battle, no one was in a bad mood, and he had some resentment against Zhang Baiqi in his heart.

Now that Zhang Yan is defeated, the enemy who remains in the cantonment will go south at any time, at first glance I heard that Zhang Baiqi will not retreat, and the resentment is deeper, but in the end he can't challenge the authority of Zhang Baicai, holding back the fire in his belly, listlessly walked out of the big tent and arranged the deployment of defense.

The big tent of the Chinese army is really quiet this time, as if it is a corner forgotten by time, everything is stagnant in a cold moment, Zhang Bai is sitting on the handsome case, and he does not move.

After a while, someone outside the tent suddenly exclaimed: "Qu Shuai, come and see." ”

Zhang Baiqi was shocked, he thought that it was the state army attacking the camp, so he pulled out his war knife and hurriedly rushed out of the tent.

Outside the big tent, there was already a lot of people, and the officers and men of the Montenegrin army raised their arms and shouted, looking at the figures slowly walking out of the night with reverence.

"Bang dang!" Zhang Baiqi's war knife fell to the ground heavily, he looked at the man's face, and suddenly his nose was sore, and he actually cried, where was he still like the majestic Qu Shuai before.

"Zhang Bai rode to see Qu Shuai." Zhang Baiqi walked up to the man and bowed solemnly.

Zhang Yan helped Zhang Baiqi up and said with relief: "You've worked hard these days. ”

Zhang Baiqi's eyes were big and swollen: "Zhang Baiqi failed to hold the high capital, please punish Qu Shuai." ”

Zhang Baiqi fell into deep self-blame, if he could hold Gaodu, even if Zhang Yan was unfortunately defeated, they could retreat from Gaodu Tianjing Pass.

Now not only Zhang Yan has been defeated, but Gaodu has also been lost, and they are like a pack of lonely wolves, running aimlessly in the wilderness.

"It's okay, our army still has room for maneuver." Zhang Yan looked at the mountains in the distance, and made a decision in her heart.

"Qu Shuai?" Zhang Baiqi looked at him suspiciously.

"Let the soldiers eat and drink well, and break through from Gaodu tomorrow." Zhang Yan's voice was resolute.

The Tuba Mountain is the closest to Changping, and it is also an excellent place to break out, but if you break through from the Tuba Mountain, you may encounter Lü Bu heading south.

He didn't want to run into Lu Bu again, the elite soldiers he personally led hated the Zhuozhang River, not to mention the old and weak soldiers under Zhang Bai's cavalry.

This time, he did the opposite, breaking through from the front of the Bingzhou Army, wading as far as Tianjing Pass, and evacuating Shangdang County.

At the same time, in the camp of the Bingzhou Army, Gao Shun wore a battle robe in the gale, and as far as his eyes could see, it was the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Changping, where Wu Anjun Baiqi blocked the Zhao army and achieved great achievements.

"General Qiyu, Wen Hou has reached the left!" The adjutant ran from a distance and handed the letter in his hand to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun hurriedly opened the letter, he read it very carefully, did not miss a word in it, and finally ordered loudly: "Call for battle tomorrow." ”

"No!" The adjutant general clenched his fists and bowed down with his sword in his hand.

As Gao Shun's order spread, the shouts of the state army immediately resounded one after another, the cavalry carried bundles of hay to feed the beloved war horses, the archers methodically inserted the carved feathers into the quiver, and the foot soldiers ran to the Dan River to fetch water, and the sound of sharpening knives rang all night.

In the early morning of the next day, a drum sounded from the camp of the state army, and then all the soldiers formed a battle formation outside the gate, and with the flag of the Chinese army being chopped down, the state army was like a siege beast, slowly approaching the camp of the Montenegrin army.

At the same time, the Montenegrin army also assembled on the west bank of the Dan River, and under the leadership of Zhang Yan, it slaughtered the camp of the Bingzhou army, and the two advancing armies met on the plain.
