Bloody battles with the Jin army for days. Chang Jie's elite has lost a lot of personnel, and there was once a danger of division collapse. Fortunately, Xu Wei came to help in time, otherwise, the name of Chang Jiejun may be canceled.

Several horses came galloping. When they reached the entrance of the camp, the soldiers did not stop them. Because it was our cousin Xu Dutong who came, a fire burned the grain and grass that the second prince of Jin Guo could not live without. Xu Wei only took Yang Yan and a few personal soldiers, and ran all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army before stopping the reins. The guards in front of the tent had already seen him. Advance notification allows you to get straight in.

"Gao Zhi has seen Dutong!" As soon as he entered the big tent, Xu Wei shouted. Xu Ji was gathering to discuss the trilogy and saw the ninth brother enter. And there was joy between the eyebrows, and his heart moved, isn't the king of Shaanxi here?

"Rabbit, Xu Wei, what's the matter?" Xu Yuan hurriedly asked.

"This morning, our troops carefully probed and gathered the horse army to the west, and withdrew in a hurry after less than a meal. Humble speculation. It may be that the Western Army that stopped at Huangguan is coming. Xu Wei didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point. The tent was boiling for a while! The Jin army was good at fighting, and there were far more troops than me, and they fought extremely hard for several days in a row. Now it's okay, first there is the Hujie Township Army to help, and now the Western Army is coming, and the enemy will be attacked on the back of the sticky Han, and he will retreat. As soon as he withdrew, the people in Huazhou City could only wait to be killed!

Xu Yuan was also very happy, and said loudly: "If this is the case, you can fight with the Jin people" As soon as the words came out, it suddenly occurred to him that Fan Zhixu, the Wenchen who commanded the Shaanxi Five-Way Army, could beat him with a few thousand horse troops. Even if you come to help, I'm afraid that "the generals under his command will be dispersed at the moment, leaving the second brother alone."

Xu Sheng saw that his brother's face was still worried, so he asked, "Big brother, are you worried about Fan Zhixu?" ”

Xu Yuan even retreated from all the guards who were accompanying him in the tent, and then nodded and said, "Yes, this person is a Wenchen." He has no experience in serving in Xisu. The defeat of Huangguan is enough to illustrate the problem. I am afraid that this man will lead the army to help, and Muhan will not be afraid, and will raise troops to attack. "The combat power of the Jurchens, the three brothers have all been taught, although the Western Army dares to fight, but if there is no correct strategy from above. It is not enough to rely on soldiers alone.

Xu Wei immediately took over the conversation: "Big brother, fourth brother, I forgot to elaborate."

It was also revealed that the cavalry of the Jin army was either withdrawn or retreated, and there were many of its men and horses with arrows. ”

Xu Yuan and Xu Sheng were surprised. Before the defeat, the Jin people used thousands of iron cavalry to defeat the Wulu Western Army, and now the old trick is repeated. But he was slapped on the head, naturally it was not Fan Zhixu who suddenly became proficient in the art of war, but probably followed the advice of the five road marshals. If he can be as good as he can be, and ask more military attachés in case of war, then the situation will be in my favor. Annihilating Muhan is unlikely, but forcing him to retreat is a little bit.

"Report!" As soon as he walked inside, he was also beaming with joy, and after saluting Xu Yuan and Xu Sheng, he saw that Xu Wei was also there, and bowed with his fists, and then said, "All are unified!" The Jin army set up its tent and retreated thirty miles north to camp under the cover of cavalry! ”

Xu Yuan listened. Laugh out loud: "Haha! Sticky Han is still scared in the end! He's afraid of being attacked on his back! "He hasn't laughed so heartily since he led the troops out of Tokyo. It is no wonder that Sticky Han swept through Hedong and broke through Xijing Jieyang, which can be said to be menacing. The soldiers went to Gong County, and every battle was fought by Chang Jie's army. It can be described as arrogant and unstoppable. Now I'm scared and take the initiative to retreat. It's rare, it's rare!

Xu Sheng was also overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It's only a few dozen miles to the Yellow River, and it seems that Mu Han is ready to withdraw his troops." ”

The two elder brothers smiled and were excited, but now why is our little brother frowning and seems to be full of concerns? Xu Yuan was overjoyed, but he naturally understood in his heart that if it weren't for the ninth brother who came to support him in the starry night this time, he and the fourth brother were afraid that they would have to sacrifice their lives and die here. My family's thousand-mile horse will become a red rabbit horse sooner or later!

stepped forward and patted his younger brother on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "What, Lao Jiu, are you still not happy when the Jin soldiers retreat north?"

"Big brother, why do you say that the Jin army dares to pull out the camp and withdraw in broad daylight?" Xu Wei asked.

Xu Yuan thought about it, since ancient times, if the two armies were very close to each other, they would never dare to act rashly, let alone pull out the camp and retreat. It is to retreat, and it is also to sneak at night, because of the strategic retreat. It is the most difficult to command, and if you are not careful, if the other party raises troops to chase after you, it will cause a great rout. Sticky Han is so blatant, to put it bluntly, he is deceiving me that there is no large-scale horse army, and he is not afraid that you will cover up and kill him.

"Lost Yan Yun, the army has no good horses," Xu Yuan sighed softly. I am afraid that this is also the heart disease of the military ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. When he arrived in the Emperor Taishang Dynasty, he finally got back Yanyun Liuzhou, but before he could cover the heat, he asked the Jin people to snatch it back. Up to now, Sensei said Yanyun, Hedong and Hebei have been trampled on by the Jurchens

"Not bad! If there is an elite cavalry, take advantage of his retreat and strike hard! Drive the sticky Han army to the edge of the Yellow River, and I will see if he surrenders or throws himself into the river! Xu Wei's eyes flashed, and he said hatefully.

The two brothers looked at each other. In the end, it is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. The people who led the troops in the Great Song Dynasty were all afraid of the brave Jurchen army, and Lao Jiu was good, and he didn't see anyone scared at all. But then again, only art masters can be bold, and Lao Jiu's performance in the past two years is impressive! It's like two people in the past!

"Lao Jiu, you don't have to hate. Mu Han is so arrogant, and now he still has to use cavalry to cover the retreat, he is afraid of you. Xu Sheng actually comforted in a coaxing tone. Probably in the eyes of the elder brother, the younger brother is always the younger brother.

"Fourth brother doesn't have to hold me. He was afraid of Chang Jie in the past, and he was afraid of the Western Army in the back, and my Hujie was only a township army, and he couldn't enter the stream. Xu Wei said with a smile.

Xu Yuan listened. Zhengse said: "Ninth brother doesn't have to be too humble, if you hadn't given him two gifts in a row." With a sticky conducting style. Can he withdraw so quickly? Moreover, your Hujie Township Army only practiced for more than half a year before it was pulled into the battlefield. It's not easy to have this kind of performance. Brother will tell you the truth, this elite of a hundred battles has never been trained. It's typed out. Leave the words here for my brother, after this battle, the combat power of your Hujie Township Army will not be what it used to be. Wait for another three or five years, and it will become a strong team! ”

Xu Weizhi didn't care about the prophecy of the eldest brother, but heard that Xu Yuan knew in his heart that even if the Jurchens were defeated this time, between Song and Jin, from now on, the beacon fire would not be extinguished, and the wolf smoke would not be extinguished.

But look at it another way. In times of trouble, heroes are produced, and in peacetime, the attitude of the emperors and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty towards the military ministers is to use them and taboo them, and abandon them and regret them. Desperately suppressed, suspicious. Watch out for. But once the war breaks out, it is the time when it is necessary to use military personnel, although it is unlikely to achieve civil and military equality, but many previous policy restrictions. Adjustments will definitely be made accordingly. This is the opportunity!
