Chapter 39: Rumors
Although Xu Huang's retreat was quite timely, in the face of the three thousand halberds under him, it was not so easy to retreat calmly. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Huang had no choice but to personally bring his own guards to block the attack of the Euphorbia, so as to give the other soldiers a chance to retreat. Xu Huang, who was finally defeated from the battlefield, didn't have time to count how heavy the casualties of his soldiers and horses were, in short, he knew that the Chinese army he was in could be quite limited in the face of the enemy's elite.
Xu Huang led the remnants of the army to retreat, but Ju Yi was unwilling to let him go like this. In any case, this Xu Huang is also a talent, not only strong in martial arts, but also commanding on the battlefield, advancing and retreating freely. Just because he has this ability, and he does not want to surrender, he will not be allowed to continue to live. This time he met himself, and the next time he was encountered by other generals in his own camp, he might suffer a big loss! Therefore, Ju Yi gave an order, and the whole army pursued. He himself took the lead and wanted to take Xu Huang's life directly.
It's just that Xu Huang really didn't expect that Ju Yi would chase after him, so Xu Huang had no choice but to order to step up the retreat. Now Guangxian still has 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Yu Ban to respond, and Gao Ye's main force is also approaching, as long as he retreats to Guangxian, it will be considered safe.
Xu Huang along the way, the retreat can be described as rapid, and Ju Yi on the other side is not slow to chase. The soldiers on Ju Yi's side were in order to make meritorious contributions, and Xu Huang's side was to flee for their lives, so they chased and fled, and they ran out for more than ten miles. Ju Yi saw that he was about to catch up with Xu Huang's remnants, but when he saw the terrain here, he was suddenly startled. Although Xu Huang and the others were defeated without any surprise, there was really some danger in front of them. Although there is an official road here, the official road is lined with trees. Xu Huang's army retreated very quickly, and his own soldiers and horses also chased very fast, if the Cao army still had soldiers and horses in ambush here, with the scattered formation of these soldiers behind him now, the only little physical strength left after running wild for a long time, if there was an ambush, it would be absolutely impossible to resist. If I hadn't woken up, I'm afraid that this time I would have capsized in the gutter! Therefore, Ju Yi hurriedly ordered: "The whole army stops!" ”
With an order, it didn't take long for the army to stop their pace, and under the command of the captain, they relined the formation, and the deputy general beside Ju Yi hurriedly asked in a low voice: "General, I saw that I was about to catch up with Xu Huang, why did I suddenly stop?" ”
When Ju Yi heard this, he kept moving forward and said: "Look, on both sides of the official road here, there are trees overgrown, if there is an ambush, we will definitely be defeated today!" Come on, put a round of rockets on both sides of the official road! ”
With Ju Yi's order, the archers in the team immediately drew their rockets, ignited the arrows, and then shot them into the official roads on both sides. It was the end of spring, the vegetation was abundant, and the humidity was heavy, and although the rocket was fired into the bushes, it did not cause any fire, but Ju Yi was sure of two things. First, I was really suspicious this time, and there was indeed no ambush here. Second, that is, Xu Huangjun has run far away and can no longer catch up. Therefore, Ju Yi immediately ordered to retreat ten miles back and camp, and at the same time sent someone to send an order to Cen Bi. It's too late today, and tomorrow we will follow up immediately, and at the same time, we will bring the soldiers, horses, food, and grass in the camp to the new camp.
Xu Huang, who finally returned to Guangxian, was exhausted at the moment, and after a little counting, he led 8,000 soldiers when he went out, and now there are only more than 5,000 left. In other words, in just one big battle with Juyi, he lost nearly 3,000 men and horses. Not counting those who ran away on the road, Xu Huang estimated that at least 1,500 people died directly in the hands of the Euphorbia. When Yu Ban knew about this, the two of them sighed together, embarrassed. When Xu Huang heard Yu Ban say that Gao Ye had arrived here, he even went to ask Gao Ye for his guilt in person. Although everyone's plan was to fail, but the fraud turned into a real failure, and that was a sin.
Gao Ye smiled when he heard this, and personally helped Xu Huang up and said with a smile: "Okay Gongming, it's no wonder you." The combat power of the Euphorbia is so strong, but it is not idle. I think that only by being trapped in the camp can I fight with it in a dignified manner. Now that Ju Yi has won two battles in a row and is gaining momentum, it seems that it is time to feed Yuan Tan. ”
Yu Ban and Xu Huang listened to Gao Ye's words easily, and both of them nodded. Gao Ye immediately asked Xu Huang about the specific process of the two battles, especially when he heard Xu Huang say that Ju Yi was cautious and set fire to the forest, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Good Ju Yi, really cautious." Well, it gave us an opportunity. Yuanfu, let Li Zhu come to see me immediately, and these fine works under his hands should also be active. ”
Zhou Cang on the side heard the promise and immediately left the big tent. Gao Ye only looked at the rest of the people at this time: "Wen Ze, you immediately order 10,000 soldiers, take Wen Lie, and rush to Laiwu immediately." As long as you receive my order, immediately attack Banyang, and then attack Yuling and Liang Zou, and attack Yuan Tan Grain Road. Wen Yuan, you also ordered 10,000 troops, and brought Hengruo to enter Dong'anping immediately, and settled for the time being. As long as he received the order, he immediately attacked Linzi and prepared to meet the army. Gongming, you stay, let Zhong Cao and Boren be your lieutenants for the time being. We'll have to grind with that kid for some time! Yuan Shao, you immediately let someone send an order to Zang Ba in Mu County, let him prepare immediately, and the troops will enter Exian County, as long as Wen Zeyi sends troops, let him immediately lead the troops to Jinan, and give me Yuan Tan's nest. When they heard this, they immediately gave up their hands, and immediately went down and prepared to go. At this time, Gao Ye was still discussing with Li Zhu, who was belated, how to turn around.
The high night in Guangxian County is in full swing, and Ju Yi on the other side is going to bed early. And Cen Bi, who received Ju Yi's military order, dragged his still aching buttocks, tried his best to arrange various matters in the camp, and prepared to set off tomorrow to take over the camp where Ju Yi lived tonight. If nothing else, when he arrives tomorrow, if Ju Yi doesn't fight Cao Jun again, he should have already marched dozens of miles away.
It's just that Ju Yi is really not as bold as he thought, especially when he heard that Gao Ye has been stationed in Guangxian County and is ready to attack at any time, Ju Yi, who has been singing and advancing, has changed his previous style, but has adopted a step-by-step strategy. There is a way that is the shadow of a person's famous tree, and the name of the high night is there, and it is impossible to bow to the righteousness carelessly. Now Juyi is only seventy miles away from Guangxian, if you hurry up, you may be ambushed, second, you may be attacked, and third, even if you rush to the city of Guangxian, you will definitely not be able to fight with Gao Ye under exhaustion. So for now, taking it one step at a time is the best strategy. Especially after Ju Yi sent the wounded soldiers to Cen Bi, in addition to the soldiers entering ten miles every day, he urged Cen Bi to send food according to the daily amount, and he didn't even fight a war.
Although he had to distribute grain and grass once a day, Cen Bi's workload at this time increased greatly. But Cen Bi didn't have any objections to this, and he didn't dare to have any objections. The last rod sores weren't completely thorough, and he didn't want to suffer again! Although I am dissatisfied with Ju Yi in my heart, but now I still complete Ju Yi's instructions well, and don't make any mistakes!
The patrol camp has been completed, and now they are seated in the big tent, dealing with the correspondence. Now Ju Yi is only twenty miles away from Guangxian, and Yuan Tan's brigade of soldiers and horses is only a day or two away from him. Ju Yi's previous order wrote that once Yuan Tan was rendezvous, let the army march together immediately, and everyone would be able to divide the victory and defeat in Guangxian and Gao Ye. Otherwise, with his little soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he will not be able to take the county seat of Guangxian.
Now that Yuan Tan is here immediately, he has nothing to worry about, as for Ju Yi's account, it is better for him to settle accounts with him in the future. At this moment, a soldier walked in with a stack of papers. It's none other than Cen Bi's pro-soldier captain. Seeing that Cen Bi was still processing the paperwork, he bowed down and saluted: "General, this is the document for the logistics battalion to check the grain, grass and ordnance today, and I also ask the general to check it." ”
"Well, got it, let's put it down first." Cen Bi nodded when he heard this, and motioned for him to put the paperwork on the table. The lieutenant also put the paperwork on the table, and was about to leave. He only took two steps, but he turned around and saluted again. Cen Bi immediately frowned and said, "What, is there anything else?" ”
When the lieutenant heard Cen Bi's question, he wanted to speak and stopped, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know the general, have you heard any rumors recently?" ”
"No, I didn't." Cen Bi shook his head and said, "What, what rumors are there in my camp?" ”
"Yes, yes, my lord, it is said that it came from the wounded barracks, and it is said that General Juyi is ......."
"Don't babble, say, what's wrong with General Juyi?"
"Yes, General. There are rumors that General Ju Yi ...... this time This time, he intends to take refuge in Cao Jun......"
"Nonsense!" When Cen Bi heard this, he immediately took the case, and the soldiers on the side were at a loss. Cen Bi said angrily: "Since you have discovered such ridiculous rumors, why don't you stop them?" What do I want you to eat as a lieutenant? When the time comes, will the army be in turmoil, can you afford it! ”
When the captain heard this, he knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "General Hui, the little one has already been stopped." It's just that this rumor is not unreasonable, and the small one is reported to the general, and the general is asked to decide. ”
"Oh? So tell me, what makes sense? Cen Bi heard that the matter had been dealt with, so he settled down a little. Hearing the captain say this, I couldn't help but ask.
"General Hui, what do you think, although Ju Yi fought two battles with Xu Huang two days ago, it stands to reason that with the Euphorbia under General Ju Yi, how could Xu Huang be an opponent? But both times he actually let Xu Huang retreat, and the second time it was even more inexplicable that there might be an ambush and set fire to the forest, giving Xu Huang time to evacuate, didn't the general think it was strange? What's more, General Ju Yi has been marching slowly recently, although he should be a battalion step by step, but the speed of such a march is too slow. The most important thing is that I happened to hear two Euphorbia soldiers talking, and they said that they were all so ruthless as a family...... General, I think I have to guard against it! ”
When Cen Bi heard this, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and then he said: "General Ju Yi is an old general who follows the lord, don't mention this matter again." Tomorrow, the eldest prince will arrive, I will report this matter to the eldest prince, or ask the eldest prince to decide. ”
