In this way, Wei Changfeng ran and ran, three times in a row, each time he threw down a batch of grain and grass about two miles away, and ran in a hurry. When it came to the third run, even Moygur felt that something was wrong. He took the horse and hesitated, and was muttering about whether he wanted to continue to catch up, but when he saw Wei Changfeng Circle Horse returning, he shouted from Mowuer: "Mowuer, coward, do you dare to come?" ”

Moygur snorted angrily, and was about to chase again, but a centurion behind him had already arrived, and grabbed the reins of Mouer's horse and shouted: "Commander, they must be luring the enemy!" ”

Moygur nodded and ordered: "You wait, wait for the main force to come up and join them, and I will chase it myself!" ”

"Commander!" The centurion knew that Mowu was carried away by personal enmity, and knew that the Han army had a trap and was going to rush forward, so he didn't know how to persuade for a while, so he just pulled Mouer's horse and held on to it. Moyer was impatient, and was about to ask the centurion to let go of the reins, when a long and short trumpet sounded behind him.

The centurion was secretly happy in his heart, let go of the reins of his horse, and said to Mour: "Commander, the horn of the army has sounded, let's go back." ”

Mowuer knew that this was the commander who also discovered the strangeness of the Han army, and in order to prevent the big victory from turning into a big defeat, he accepted it when he saw it, but did he just let Wei Changfeng go? He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

"Woo~~~ Woo, woo, woo!" One long and three short horns sounded.

The centurion immediately changed color.

One long and three short, it is an order to retreat immediately, and the three horns do not turn the horse's head, which is the same as the rebellion before the battle.

"Commander!" He screamed again.

Mowur looked at his thousand-man team, and saw that many people were turning their horses' heads one after another, so he had to sigh, turn their horses' heads, and converge at the main force.

The Donghu army quickly retreated, and the order had been handed down: it is forbidden to pick up anything on the road, all of them retreat as soon as possible, and if they violate the order, they will be killed!

Obviously, the commander of Donghu was afraid that the Han army would have some ambush, since he had seen through the Han army's strategy of luring the enemy, then don't hesitate, retreat when it is time to retreat, as for the grain, grass and weapons left by the Han army on the road, is it more important than protecting the fruits of victory? So simply prohibit picking up things on the road and retreat as soon as possible.

Wei Changfeng watched the Donghu army continue to retreat, seeing this meaning, he was afraid that he would have to retreat at least ten or twenty miles before reasoning, and he was really secretly thanking God in his heart.

His soldiers were already running out of strength, the grain and grass were thrown away, and even his own war horses couldn't run.

"Pack up the grain and grass and return to Xingcheng." He ordered.

Outside Xingcheng, the left route army of the Han army finally settled down, and Zhu Ling once again thundered in the tent: "Donghu barbarians!" Don't dare to fight in the open with real swords and guns, only dare to sneak attack in the dark! Anti-gentleman but not villain, I didn't expect them to be so shameless! ”

Several of the guards pouted secretly.

General Zhu went out in all directions, came back with his head in his arms, lost his troops and lost face, what is the use of using this as a façade now? A victory is a victory, a defeat is a defeat, and a defeat is still a defeat if you make excuses.

"Where is the Right Army?" Zhu Ling was furious, and finally came up with an excuse, "Ordering the right army to return quickly, I want to ask General Fang, why don't you save him in time?" ”

"I'm coming." Someone outside the tent responded, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, Fang Zhenhai entered the tent, looked at Zhu Ling with a smile, and said lightly: "I will ask for guilt in the future." ”

Zhu Ling immediately blushed. He didn't expect such a coincidence of timing, he used the Right Route Army in the tent to find face, but it happened that Fang Zhenhai came to see him and listened to his words. He coughed and said, "Well, General Fang, it's good to come back, Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai missed this time, and he made a mistake in the Middle East, let's discuss how to organize an attack." ”

Fang Zhenhai sat down slowly. He really wanted to slap Zhu Ling eight times right away. When you march and fight, you can't even defend against a night attack, what kind of soldiers do you bring? What kind of battle was fought? Of course, the defeat in this battle was due to the unexpected appearance of the 30,000 reinforcements of the Donghu Army, but the 30,000 reinforcements of the Donghu Army plus the 20,000 surviving defeated are a total of 50,000, and you, General Zhu, also have 40,000 troops in your hands. Even if you can't keep it, it's okay to keep it for three or five days, right? Unexpectedly, it made the family fart and urine overnight, and 40,000 troops went out, and less than 20,000 returned. The Right Route Army can't catch up in a hurry, so there is still the face to sit here and push the responsibility on others? But of course he can't do it, not only can't he do it, but he can't even be disrespectful in his words, after all, there is no victorious general in this world, you accuse Zhu Ling of not winning, if you lose one day, how to explain it?

So he could only say seriously: "Our army is newly defeated, it needs to be rectified urgently, and we have to ask for reinforcements, and I am afraid that there will be no way to start a new offensive for a while." ”

Zhu Ling sighed again, he also knew this in his heart, but he didn't change the topic, he really didn't know how to cover up his ugliness. He was about to send Fang Zhenhai, but he heard the guard report: "The grain transport officer Wei Changfeng came to report, the grain and grass have not been lost, and the sergeant is not damaged. ”

(2) Zhu Ling's voice this time was: "Hmm? ”

He really didn't understand how Wei Changfeng did it. He saw with his own eyes that Wei Changfeng was guarding the grain station on the side of the road waiting for them to be defeated, but at that time he really couldn't stop and give Wei Changfeng an order, he thought that Wei Changfeng was only afraid that he had become a prisoner of the Donghu people together with his grain truck, and Wei Changfeng had died in battle, but he didn't think that Wei Changfeng actually "The grain and grass were not lost, and the sergeants were not damaged", this Wei Changfeng would not succeed in stealth, and he could make the Donghu people turn a blind eye to him?

He was about to speak, but Zhenhai above took the lead: "The order is to let Wei Dutong return to Xingcheng to rest and transport his grain well, our army will continue to attack in the near future, and if his grain and grass are not continued, he will be severely punished!" ”

Zhu Ling was stunned. No, Fang Zhenhai would be so idiotic that he didn't know that when he Zhu Ling was there, he couldn't give the order to Fang Zhenhai's turn? Fang Zhenhai: What is this trying to do? Zhu Ling's mind turned and he understood what Fang Zhenhai meant, he glanced at Fang Zhenhai, and had to say: "Let Wei Dutong go back to the city to rest, and in three days, he will hand over the errand of the grain transport officer, and return to the army to be dispatched." ”

Fang Zhenhai smiled slightly and said no more.

He also admired this General Zhu in his heart, although General Zhu was often surprised by the enemy when he fought against the enemy, but when he was fighting, he knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, Fang Zhenhai said the opposite, and this General Zhu immediately understood. Of course, he must also understand that he has to make a little concession, that is, when he reports to the Ministry of War, he turns a blind eye to General Zhu's literary ornaments. However, even if he didn't do this, the Ministry of War was also doing it, and a fool would believe that the Ministry of War would only look at the official documents and be completely ignorant of General Zhu's actual achievements.

Wei Changfeng got the order to return to the team after resting, he was very happy in his heart, and explained how the soldiers went to deliver grain and grass, he hurriedly returned to the camp, he was worried in his heart, I don't know how happened to Li Qianyue, three days to go, two days to return, five days after this blink of an eye, will Li Qianyue make any more noise?

He hurried all the way into the tent, and before he could greet the others, he went straight to his tent. When he approached the tent, he saw the guards standing in front of the tent, and he secretly wondered in his heart how could Bai Qi be so negligent, with Li Qianyue in the tent, how could he arrange for the guards to guard? In case Li Qianyue makes any noise, once the guards spread the news, it will be a major matter of killing.

When the guard saw Wei Changfeng coming back, he smiled and saluted, Wei Changfeng didn't have the heart to talk to the guard, and returned to salute and opened the curtain into the tent, but saw that the tent was empty, the bedding was all sorted out, and it was obvious that Li Qianyue was no longer there.

Wei Changfeng was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't know what had happened in the past five days, but he didn't know who to ask, so he had to turn around and ask the guards: "Where is General Bai Shen?" ”

The guard smiled and pointed ahead: "General Bai Shen has just come out of that tent not long ago, and he may come back in a while." ”

Wei Changfeng looked forward and saw that there was a tent a few steps ahead, obviously new, his heart moved, and he hurried to the tent and lifted the curtain. I saw that in the tent, Li Qianyue's long black hair was drenched, and there was a basin on the ground, thinking that she was washing her hair.

Li Qianyue closed her eyes before she finished washing her hair, and when she heard someone coming in, she thought it was Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, just put the towel in my hand, I have to trouble you to avoid it." ”

Wei Changfeng's heart moved, and he had an indescribable feeling for a while.

"Big Brother White"! Well, to be honest, the title made him a little ......

Behind him, someone reached over with a clean towel in his hand.

Wei Changfeng gave in and wanted Bai Qi to go in, but Bai Qi didn't move, and only stretched the towel in front of Wei Changfeng's eyes.

Wei Changfeng had no choice but to nod, took the towel and walked towards Li Qianyue, but Bai Qi had already turned around and left the account.

Wei Changfeng handed over the towel, saw Li Qianyue take the towel with her eyes closed, knew that the woman was washing, it was not appropriate to watch, turned around and walked out of the tent, but heard Li Qianyue suddenly shout: "Brother Bai, I heard that Wei ...... Wei Changfeng fell into the Donghu army, right? ”

Wei Changfeng was surprised at this time, he tasted Li Qianyue's words as if he was very concerned, he couldn't help but be a little excited, and replied with a chuckle: "No, I'm back." Then he turned around and walked out of the account.

Outside the tent, Bai Qi was already waiting for Wei Changfeng, and when he saw Wei Changfeng come out, he had a happy look on his face, looked at Wei Changfeng, and said with a smile: "I almost thought that you really couldn't come back." ”

Wei Changfeng also smiled. He really almost couldn't come back, if he hadn't gambled right in the face of Donghu Jun, his body would have stiffened now, but this kind of thing, he didn't have to say much, this is the life that soldiers are accustomed to. He pointed to the tent and said with a smile: "Brother Bai, you think about it enough. ”

Bai Qi's expression became a little depressed, and he sighed: "I can't help it, this is forced by Miss Li." ”

Wei Changfeng was surprised and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly: "Do you think she will like to live in your tent and lie on your bed?" ”
