"Father, there are only 1,000 Jin cavalry left outside the city, Xie Xuan is so bullying us, do you think that these 1,000 cavalry can suppress us in this Xuchang City?" Yao Yun looked at the only 1,000 Yuzhou army cavalry left outside Xuchang City, and said angrily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yao Yun listened to the order, led the three thousand cavalry in the city to go out of the city immediately, and after defeating the thousand Jin cavalry outside the city, he pursued the Jin army!" Yao Chang's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice.

Yao Yun took the order and left, and Yao Chang glanced at the Sect Marquis.

"General Zong seems to have something to say?"

"Back to the Lord, the last general feels that there is something strange about this matter!"

The night before yesterday, the Jin army began to withdraw, Yao Chang did not give the first order to pursue, Zonghou has always had a faint feeling in his heart, and at this moment, seeing Yao Yun with high morale and taking the order, this feeling is becoming more and more obvious.

"Why did General Zong say this?"

"It's been too long!" Zonghou frowned and said.

"The cavalry and sailors of the Jin army, as well as the first batch of retreating baggage foot soldiers, have left our sight for a day and a night, although the spies reported that the cavalry of the Jin army did go to the northwest, and the Jin army's sailors are already on the way back to Huaishui!"

"However, my lord, the heavy foot soldiers of the Jin army who retreated first have disappeared, and so far, there have been no spies to report their specific location and bearing!"

"Does General Zong mean that he is worried that these heavy soldiers of the Jin army will set up an ambush for us?" Yao Chang asked disappreciatively.

"In addition to being able to manipulate equipment to attack the city, the combat effectiveness of the baggage soldiers is really average, so what can I do if they set up an ambush?"

"What if the Jin army's baggage soldiers have been exchanged with the elite of the Jin army? And how? Zonghou looked at the cavalry of the Yuzhou Army who had begun to retreat outside the city, and said with a solemn face.

"The great cause of the Lord has not been accomplished, I have to act carefully, most of the elite of our Qiang people are in this Xuchang, and there is no room for loss!"

Yao Chang became serious at this time, nodded and said, "Then what should General Yizong do?" If you don't go out of the city to pursue, let the Beifu soldiers return to Nanyang, the Jin army is good at defending the city, once you enter the city without damage, it will not be easy to get back Nanyang! ”

"If you miss this opportunity, Your Majesty the Heavenly King will definitely blame, General Zong, don't forget, Nanyang is lost, and we are also inseparable!"

"The young master has already led three thousand cavalry in pursuit!" Zonghou said thoughtfully.

"The last general suggested that the last general should lead another 20,000 elites and follow behind the young master, one to ensure the safety of the young master, and the other to cause as much damage to the Jin army as possible if there is a chance!"

"As for the Lord, lead the army in Xuchang City, and wait for the Fu Overseer Army to come and meet!"

"Is 20,000 too many?" Yao Chang frowned and said.

He knows Zonghou's military talent, but although the Jin army was damaged in this siege, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, in addition to the cavalry and sailors, there were still nearly 70,000 foot soldiers, and Zonghou only invited 20,000 soldiers, which seemed to be too light for the enemy!

"If the Jin army has the intention to retreat, 20,000 people will be more than enough to pursue!" Zonghou said respectfully.

"On the contrary, if the Jin army has the intention to set up an ambush, even if our army comes out, I am afraid that it will be an ending with no return, and the main task of the Zong Hou to lead the troops this time is to ensure the safety of the young master!"

Yao Chang nodded slightly, and after the Zong Hou silently saluted, he turned around and left.

...

"Xiao Jie, we seem to be ignoring one thing, or rather, we are ignoring one person!"

At this time, Xie Xuanwei and others had already joined Wang Hong and Mao Xiuzhi, and the real baggage soldiers had returned to Nanyang with the baggage, and those who stayed here to set up ambushes were all the elite of the Beifu soldiers.

"Who?" Wei Jie was slightly stunned, and didn't react to Xie Xuan's meaning for a while.

"Xiao Jie, do you remember the battle when we flooded Ruyin County?" Xie Xuan asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"Of course!"

Wei Jie's head nodded slightly, the time has passed but more than a month, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Qiang clan have all been wiped out, how could he forget, but he still didn't understand what Xie Xuanyi meant!

"Do you still remember that Mao Xiuzhi set up an ambush in Huangkou Valley and returned in vain?" Xie Xuan said seductively.

Wei Jie's heart suddenly tightened, and blurted out: "Not good! ”

Xie Xuan nodded slightly, sighed and said: "I have long heard that Yao Chang has a person with outstanding wisdom and a person named Zonghou, last time Xuchang's reinforcements must have been the commander of Zonghou, and this time, I am afraid that he can still see through our plan!" ”

"Zonghou?"

Wei Jie's mind searched for a name, and seemed to have a little impression, when he was in Shou County, he heard Murong Mad mention this person, according to Murong Mad said, this Zonghou is not only excellent in martial arts, skilled in archery and horses, he is a famous archer in the north, and his wisdom makes all enemies frightened!

"Wei Jie's heard of this person, but he forgot about him in a hurry!"

Wei Jie's saw that Xie Xuan bowed his head and didn't speak, knowing that he blamed himself a little after a moment of negligence, he couldn't help but say with relief: "Since Yao Chang has a great possibility of seeing through our ambush, why don't we go back to Nanyang directly, Nanyang City is well defended, let's defend the city to the death, and we will calculate the future later!" ”

Xie Xuan nodded slightly, and was about to give an order when He Wuji's voice came in.

"The great commander, the deputy commander, the spies came to report, Yao Yun led thousands of Qiang cavalry to pursue, and the 1,000 cavalry of the Yuzhou army fought and retreated, and it was less than twenty miles away from here!"

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Are you sure it's Yao Yun leading the troops?" ”

He Wuji nodded heavily and said: "The spies can see very clearly, it is indeed Yao Yun, there is no doubt that there are 20,000 elite Qiang soldiers behind Yao Yun, but Yao Chang did not personally lead the troops!" ”

Xie Xuan snorted and said to the Wei Rank: "These 20,000 foot soldiers must be the leaders of the Sect Marquis, our opportunity has come!" ”

"Opportunity?" After pondering for a moment, Wei Jie asked softly.

"Could it be that Xuan Shuai wants to keep this sect marquis?"

"Not bad!" Xie Xuan nodded and said.

"Yao Yun is brave and strategic, if he is ordinary, he may be able to listen to the opinions of the Sect Marquis, he has been suppressed by us in the siege of Xuchang City these days, I am afraid that he will lose his patience a long time ago!"

"The purpose of Zonghou coming here must be to protect Yao Yun's integrity, let's take this opportunity to use Yao Yun to get rid of Zonghou!"

Zonghou is so scheming, getting rid of Zonghou is no less than annihilating 100,000 elites of the Qiang tribe, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Yao Chang's arms, if you can really take this opportunity to get rid of Zonghou, even if Yao Chang does not lead the main force out of the city, the Beifu soldiers cannot take the opportunity to take Xuchang, this careful design is not in vain!

"Pass the order, let the cavalry of the Yuzhou army not fall in love with the battle, quickly pass through the pocket we laid down with a rout, and wait for Yao Yun to enter the pocket, immediately close the siege, cut off its back road, this commander will force the Marquis of Zong and my Beifu soldiers to fight head-on!"
