Ji Zhen's eyes became dim, and his voice was obviously lowered: "I can't imagine that all the war elephants in this battle have been reimbursed, and now I don't even have a good face in front of King Linyi. ”

She gasped for breath, her eyes red: "So what now?" Big brother, are we going to go to Linyi or Guizhou to find Li Guangshi, this Qixing Pass is a fork in the road to the south and east, how to choose, now we have to find a way. ”

Jian Zhen gritted his teeth: "Let's go to Li Guangshi first, he pulled the flag to rebel, and there is no way out, first find a place to live, if it doesn't work again, we will surrender to the Sui people, but no matter what, we have to keep this life first, as long as we are alive, the tribes in Ningzhou have a backbone, and they will continue to fight with the Sui army, and these are the conditions for us to negotiate with the Sui people." ”

A hurried voice that dragged out the pitch came from the rear: "Big head, big head, it's not good, the Sui army is catching up again, less than three miles away from us!"

Everyone got on their horses almost reflexively like springs, and the earthquake shouted: "To the east, to the direction of Guizhou, quickly!"

Half an hour later, Shi Wansui and Zhang Xutuo stood in the place where they were vomiting just now, and Shi Wansui stared closely at the pile of vomit on the ground, thoughtful.

Zhang Xutuo's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said softly: "Dashuai, this pile of filth is still hot, they have been gone for less than half an hour, and now we can catch them all." ”

Shi Wansui shook his head, pointed at the pile of things that he spit out, and said with a smile: "Suda." You can tell who spit it out. Can you deduce from this pile of stuff how they are now? ”

Zhang Xutuo pinched his nose. Leaned down and carefully examined the pile of things, and after a while, he stood up and said with a smile: "The handsome and wise, it was the last general who ignored it just now, there is really a lot of information in this pile of vomit, if the last general guessed correctly, he vomited this pile of things." Presumably, it's either a planing or a shaking. ”

Shi Wansui said "oh": "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Xutuo pointed to a few feathers in this pile of vomit and said: "Obviously, they have been chased by us and have no time to make a fire to cook, and even the dry food has been eaten. ”

Shi Wansui nodded and said with a smile: "It can be seen that they are really at the end of the road, and here leads to the south of Linyi Kingdom." To the east, you can enter Guizhou and join the rebel Li Guangshi. Suda, can you analyze why they are not going south, but east? ”

Zhang Xutuo said: "The army is defeated and surrenders to a strong neighbor, and the way to die is also, Lin Yi has not officially turned his face with my Great Sui yet, although those war elephants are likely to come from Lin Yi, but now there is no evidence that it was sent by the King of Lin Yi, so if the King of Lin Yi sees that the situation is not good, it is possible to directly send Fu Xi and Ji Zhen over, as a proof of friendship with my Great Sui, the Fu Yi brothers now have no strength to confront us head-on, and there is no bargaining capital with the King of Linyi, if it were me, I would not directly defect to the King of Lin Yi at this time." ”

Shi Wansui's eyes flashed: "What about Li Guangshi, his situation is not much better than that of the Brother Xuan, the military report received this morning, Zhou Fashang's department has gone deep into Guizhou, and Li Guangshi has been broken, I am afraid that his end will be overnight, why do the Brother Xuanxi still want to find him?" ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled slightly: "The brothers are on the run, and they may not know the external situation, I think they still don't know the news of the defeat of Li Guangshi, if they know the way, they won't take this road, but then again, even if they are going around in the deep mountains and dense forests of this Dongjiao, if we can't take them down, I'm afraid that the barbarian tribes of this Dongjiao will continue to rebel, after all, our army is not strong enough, it is difficult to fully control here, after a long time, it still can't be sustained, so we can only retreat." ”

Shi Wansui nodded: "What Su Tuo said is extremely true, if we don't catch these two traitor leaders, the Ningzhou expedition will not be a complete victory, so we must work harder." ”

Zhang Xutuo moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but the words came to his mouth and he still took them back.

Shi Wansui smiled slightly: "Sutuo, do you want to ask, why do we have a few opportunities to seize the opportunity to plan the brothers, but I deliberately let them go?" ”

Zhang Xutuo nodded: "Since the marshal himself said, Na Sutuo is not shy about saying that there have been at least three times in the past ten days that we can directly catch them, especially the one that attacked last night, the enemy army was obviously lured away by someone, and the direction and number of people who fled were completely wrong, even Sutuo could see it, but the marshal led the whole army to chase that small detachment, and he didn't even divide his troops to continue to bite the enemy's brigade, which Sutuo really couldn't figure out." ”

Shi Wansui smiled slightly: "Sutuo, do you know why Zhuge Wuhou wanted to capture Meng Shu seven times?" ”

Zhang Xutuo's eyes lit up: "What does the big marshal mean is to let the Fu Yu brothers defect to these tribes one by one, and then we will follow to defeat these barbarian tribes one after another, so as to prevent future troubles?" ”

Shi Wansui patted Zhang Xutuo's shoulder with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, here in Ningzhou, there are three thousand miles of places, hundreds of tribes, and the first battle of Weixian County has concentrated almost all the combatable soldiers of the Western Plan, and after that battle, the White Barbarian West Plan is not worried, and it will not be able to pose a threat to our Great Sui for decades." However, in this eastern land, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters of the earthquake, there are hundreds of tribes of all sizes, and they have not been fatally hit in the last battle, and they are still unstable.

Among the two wars, the barbarians are more backward, but they are also more barbaric and fierce, and the land of the east produces war horses, and can be connected to the Linyi country through Guizhou and Jiaozhou, it has always been difficult to be stable, since Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, here for more than 300 years are not subject to the king, want to be convinced by the barbarians here, must be like chasing ducks, and drive the warp to continue to defect to these tribes, and then we follow and break these tribes one by one, so as to establish the military prestige of our Sui army, even after the withdrawal, these barbarian tribes can also settle down for many years. ”

Zhang Xutuo nodded, glanced at the guards behind him who were twenty steps away from him, and lowered his voice: "Dashuai, but you didn't want to care about these troubles this time, and you just caught the brothers and finished it, why do you have to worry about the aftermath of the war now, and even let go of the great work in hand?" ”

Shi Wansui sighed: "The world is impermanent, it's not because of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the last battle in Weixian, I didn't share Wan Zhiguang's great achievements, presumably Yang Wutong will not give him many heads, this time the pursuit of the enemy chief can not bring him, presumably the King of Shu will try his best to find trouble for me afterwards, I can only completely calm down Ningzhou here, in order not to leave trouble." ”

Zhang Xutuo said in a low voice: "But now that the Zhen brothers have fled towards Guizhou, in case they escape into Li Guangshi's territory and are taken by General Zhou Fashang, then we will have lost all our efforts." ”

Shi Wansui Ha Luha smiled, his voice was full of heroism and confidence: "Everything is under my control, Sutuo, I have already sent out ranger scouts everywhere while pursuing, I know the situation in Ningzhou and Guizhou well, rest assured, the planing brothers are still more than 600 miles away from Guizhou, and there will be more than a dozen villages on the way, I will catch them before they enter Guizhou." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned back to the herald and said loudly: "Pass my commander's order, all of you get on your horse and prepare to pursue." ”

Zhang Xutuo returned a military salute, and was about to turn around and get on the horse, when he suddenly saw a stone tablet in the grass on the side of the road, his brows furrowed slightly, he took two steps forward, and used his portable saber to pick up the weeds that had been covered with the stone tablet, and there was a line of Chinese characters on it: "Long live, the one who wins over me will pass here!" Zhuge Liangli, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty".

Shi Wansui also walked over, looking at this stone tablet that was already covered with moss and hundreds of years old, and looked up to the sky and smiled: "Ha Lu haha, providence, it is really providence." Zhuge Liang's great achievements are the end here, and I, Shi Long Live, have surpassed him today, left and right, turn the stone tablet upside down, stand in the middle of the road, I want everyone to see that it is not the person who is better than Zhuge Liang after 10,000 years, but my Great Sui General Shi Long Live!"
