At the time of the Three Kingdoms, Jia Xu had assisted Zhang Xiu and fought with Cao Ying, Cao Ying retreated for no reason, Zhang Xiu ignored Jia Xu's persuasion to pursue, but was defeated, and after coming back, Jia Xu persuaded him to continue the pursuit, Zhang Xiu followed his words, and really won a big victory.

Lu Xiangsheng was naturally familiar with this battle case, and he expected that Zu Kuan would send people to chase after him, and the reason was also this. King Chuang is good at using soldiers, and his subordinates are elite, far from being comparable to thieves and others. He withdrew from the siege of Lu'zhou, and the timing was just right, proving that he was not in a hurry, then the army behind the palace must be elite, and it is very likely that he personally commanded it. In this case, Mo said that Zu Kuan only sent 1,000 people to pursue, saying that even if all the soldiers and horses went together, Lu Xiangsheng estimated that it would be a bitter battle!

Therefore, Zu Kuan's 1,000 people will inevitably be frustrated and return. Lu Xiangsheng was not worried about their setbacks, Zu Kuan's men were all old soldiers, the most cunning, and they were all cavalry, so it was not a problem to turn around and flee back.

After repelling the elite of the officers and soldiers, Gao Yingxiang will transfer the elite of the Liukou to the forward, so as to capture a city earlier, loot supplies and boost morale, and then the queen of the palace is the old and weak of the Liukou, Yu Guozhen chose this opportunity to pursue it, but he can take a piece of meat on Gao Yingxiang's body.

"Daolin is right, this Yu Jimin is really proficient in military affairs."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, if the troops in his hands were not extremely tired after a long journey, he would have wanted to catch up.

But it's okay to think about it, before Zhu Dadian arrived, he chased after him, but it was just to catch up with the rogues and escape faster, and cut the first three or five hundred results, which did not benefit much in the entire battle situation.

"The prime minister thinks so, so this plan is feasible?" Shi Kefa's spirit perked up when he heard this: "Since this is the case, I will allow them." ”

After he finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Lu Xiangsheng, turned around and got on his horse and returned to the city. Looking at his distant back, Zu Kuan snorted again: "What's the matter, Prime Minister, this Governor Shi didn't put the Prime Minister in his eyes." ”

Lu Xiangsheng snorted coldly and ignored him, but he was thinking in his heart, whether Yu Jimin could really win if he led his troops out to chase the enemy.

Even if Gao Yingxiang uses the old and weak palace, it is not something that ordinary people and strong officers and soldiers can contend with, Lu Xiangsheng himself can defeat the thieves in a row, relying on the Guanning iron cavalry led by Zu Kuan and Zu Dale, this army has an average annual salary of more than 20 taels, so it is necessary to cultivate an elite.

Yu Jimin's hands...... Is there such a force?

In Yu Guozhen's hands, of course, there are such troops!

If Guan Ningjun's average annual salary is more than 20 taels, then Yu Guozhen's annual salary for the family guard is also at least 60 taels!

The two hundred guards he brought with him were all the elites who stayed behind, and the latest to come also participated in the battle with the thieves at the beginning of the year. In addition to their monthly support of no less than five taels, the money spent on food and equipment is almost the same as this!

If Lu Xiangsheng saw Yu Guozhen at the east gate, he would be amazed by this army. All the stick boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four, because of their adequate nutrition, everyone was ruddy and energetic, and at the same time, the strict training made them almost impossible to make trivial sounds when marching.

The armor on their bodies was somewhat peculiar, similar to a waistcoat, but beneath the thick canvas shell, it was not cotton, but pieces of steel stuffed into it. The inner and outer layers of steel effectively ensure the protective ability of the vest against the chest and abdomen, and at the same time it is very concealed. The protective power of this cuirass is slightly inferior to the standard cuirass of the new Xianghuwei, and it was completely created to deal with the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty. But Yu Guozhen has done experiments, ordinary bows and arrows and muskets, it is difficult to penetrate them directly by frontal shooting!

The horses they rode were also very majestic, Yu Guozhen had spared no effort to collect horses over the years, and the hundreds of horses he had stolen from Zhang Xianzhong at the beginning of the year are still being raised. In addition, Shi Kefa also has a lot of them in Lu'zhou City, so what comes out now is a big horse team, and the momentum is also extremely huge.

"Our brothers, this time we have to make a big one." Sun Lin, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, smiled beside Yu Guozhen and said: "It's been suffocating me these days, Jimin, why don't you step up?" ”

"I haven't seen the defeated officers and soldiers yet, so what are you doing in a hurry?" Yu Guozhen said unhurriedly.

"Speaking of which, you knew before you came here that the officers and soldiers would chase you?"

"That's not true, I'm just worried about you, the surname is the most impulsive, if you see my letter but still force to chase the enemy, I have to come to save your life."

This was said very bluntly, and it didn't save Sun Lin face at all, which made Sun Lin a little embarrassed. If someone else said this, even if Sun Lin didn't turn his face on the spot, he would have to defend a few words, but in the face of Yu Guozhen, he didn't have the confidence.

"Where is this, where is this?" He said awkwardly.

"Hmph, I also went to the old man to ask for a letter, if you are really like this, I have to sacrifice this magic weapon to clean you up."

Hearing that Yu Guozhen even asked for Fang Kongzhi's letter, Sun Lin was even more embarrassed, he coughed twice, and then saw Qi Niu next to him with a smile on his face, and suddenly said: "Old Niu, are you growing tall again?" What kind of loyalty is it to throw you petty officials down and secretly grow tall alone? ”

Although Qi Niu was a little naïve, he also knew that he was taught a lesson by Yu Guozhen and used himself to divert his attention. At that moment, the urn said angrily: "Listening to the words of the petty officials is loyalty, and not listening to the words of the petty officials, letting the petty officials remember whether they will act recklessly, that is the heart." ”

The surroundings suddenly burst into laughter, and if an honest person opened his mouth to mock people, it would really be a bone to the bone. Qi Niu himself was a little inexplicable, because he really didn't intend to talk about Sun Lin, but said that he never let Yu Guozhen remember it.

"Look, look, Jimin, even an honest person like Lao Niu has learned tricks and weirdness around you." Sun Lin sighed, and could only turn back to find trouble with Yu Guozhen.

They followed the trail for more than 30 miles, and finally saw the dust in front of them, Yu Guozhen frowned slightly, and soon the scouts also ran over: "There are officers and soldiers in front, and it looks like they have lost the battle, but there are still a lot of people." ”

"Avoid the road, let them pass, and be ready for battle."

Yu Guozhen gave an order, and immediately the guards dismounted and lined up, but the cavalry in the Lu'zhou capital who came out with Sun Lin were still a little dazed. Sun Lin also said: "Could it be that you are afraid of the pursuit of thieves? Thieves aren't so bold, right? ”

"It's not the thieves who are afraid, it's the officers and soldiers." The corners of Yu Guozhen's mouth twitched slightly.

His intelligence network had now spread to Nanzhili and various surrounding areas, so soon after his return, he learned that the military discipline of the Guanning army borrowed by Lu Xiangsheng was extremely poor. Where thieves have passed, they are often troubled by these Guanning soldiers after being troubled by these Guanning troops, killing and destroying silver and the like, and they do nothing less. If you don't guard against it now, these defeated guys might just take them as a vote.

As for the officers and soldiers on both sides, Sun Lin would consider this, but the defeated officers and soldiers might not consider it.

"It's a bit ......"

"Don't ask, just do what I command." Yu Guozhen said.

Now Yu Guozhen's prestige, who doesn't know it in the Anlu area! Sun Lin's thousands of cavalry officers and soldiers dared to come out to pursue, that is, because of Yu Guozhen's command! Hearing him say this, Sun Linchuan gave the order to go, and those officers and soldiers also dismounted, and those who were skilled in riding were divided into two wings, while Yu Guozhen's two hundred guards were placed on the left and right, and set up muskets.

Yu Guozhen initially wanted to see if he could collect this batch of defeated troops, after all, although they were defeated, they also had not weak combat effectiveness, but when he saw that they were defeated but not chaotic, especially the banners and the like had not fallen, he knew that the generals of this defeated army were still there, and it was impossible to collect them.

Zu Quan cursed in his mouth, and when he saw the array in front of him, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes. He lost dozens of people this time, the loss was not big, but there was no gain, after going back, he had to be scolded, and he was worried about what to use to prevaricate for combat merits, and he saw that there were also more than 1,000 horsemen and horses here.

Although there are a little more people and horses here, Zu Quan is not afraid, in his opinion, there is no one of the officers and soldiers from the Central Plains to Nanzhili, who is worthy of battle, and he only needs 500 horses, no, 300 horses, he can defeat these "friendly troops" in front of him.

But he soon realized that something was wrong, this group of "friendly troops" was not as scattered as the rest of the local officers and soldiers he had seen, on the contrary, they faintly exuded a fierce killing intent, and only the kind of heroic division who was old and accustomed to seeing blood in battles had this kind of momentum.

The musketeers on the two wings were even more motionless, as if they were all made of iron.

"Be careful, all of them are lined up for the masters!" He was alarmed and hissed.

Guan Ningjun is used to fighting with Dongyu, and when he gave an order, the originally scattered team suddenly slowed down, and the cavalry began to gather. Zu Quan raised his chin and motioned for his subordinates to step forward: "Go and ask, what are they doing, besides, their horses are good, let them sacrifice a hundred horses to change the foot strength for the masters!" ”

The horse rode straight forward, and rushed towards this array, and he was so bold that he rushed straight before the musket array, and then he suddenly stopped his horse, and the horse neighed and stood up. Yu Guozhen saw him so arrogant, shook his head slightly, and saw that the guard's face was almost under the horse's hooves, but his face still did not change, and he nodded again.

Seeing that he didn't frighten these local officers and soldiers, he lost face a little, and he whipped a fierce whip at a family guard, who was not in a hurry to dodge, and suddenly there was a blood stain on his face.

Yu Guozhen's face sank suddenly, Sun Lingang wanted to persuade him, but it was too late.

"Caught." I only heard Yu Guozhen say.

Qi Niu next to him immediately urged the horse out, but there was someone faster than him, and a young man rode like lightning and rushed out. That Guan Ningjun whipped a whip, felt a little happy in his heart, and was laughing, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves on his side, but saw a horse galloping wildly.

He was stunned, why is there no one in this black child?

Then the horse staggered past him, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and a rope had flown out from the horse's belly, and it was directly around his neck, and with a sudden tug, he was torn off his horse.

Zu Quan could see clearly on his side, and his pupils also contracted suddenly.

He saw the flying horse, and the man on the horse retracted into the belly of the horse, and to his surprise, the ride ...... It's clear that he's still a kid!
