Pinggu Pass, the only way to Jufeng City, is lined with mountains and rocks on both sides, and in the middle is a plain area about several kilometers wide.

Hundreds of years ago, Pingguguan was a long lake, which dried up over time and formed a natural riverbed.

In the distance, the army slowly pressed in, on the chariot, Liu Xuan looked at the plain in front of him, an open field, and on both sides were indeed high mountains and mountains, lush forests, but there was no grass in the middle of hundreds of miles, so strange.

"Your Majesty, there is Pinggu Pass in front, and after this pass, you will be in Jufeng City." On the side, Wu Chengying rode his horse and bowed.

Liu Xuan nodded, glanced at the geography around him, turned his head to look at Liu Yi and said, "Aiqing thinks that if there is an ambush here, what will happen?" ”

The reason for this question is because Liu Xuan remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Cao Cao's defeat, he led his army to flee, and on the way passed through a place very similar to here, Cao Cao laughed and said, "If I am Kong Ming, I will set up an ambush here, and our army will be defeated." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that in the mountains and forests on both sides, a large number of enemy troops rushed out with random arrows, and Cao Cao was defeated and retreated.

When Liu Yi heard the question, he muttered for a moment and said, "What the emperor said is extremely true, if we ambush here, our army will suffer heavy losses if we are not prepared." ”

After speaking, he looked into the distance, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor has a little bit, it is better to send troops to check." ”

Liu Xuan nodded, Wu Chengying led Nuo to rush in with 100,000 military horses, seeing that there was no major incident, Liu Xuan's heart was relieved, this Pinggu Pass was already spacious, if the enemy army wanted to ambush, unless it was dug in the ground to frame it, Wu Chengying led the army to check around, and it was fine, thinking that he was thinking too much.

At the moment, Wu Chengying led the army of millions to walk in front first, the Chinese army was behind, and Liu Xuan and others were in the rear.

Pinggu Pass is low-lying, millions of troops poured into it is still not crowded, enter it, continue to move forward is about to go out of the valley, five million troops advance in turn, stretching for dozens of miles without seeing the head and tail, at this moment, suddenly there is a rolling roar in the distance, the army looked at it in disbelief, only to see a mountain rock in the northwest collapsed, and the flood suddenly gushed out.

Seeing this scene, the army was shocked, Liu Xuan's face changed greatly, and he suddenly remembered that this place was the closest to the Tonghai River, and this Pinggu Pass used to be a deep lake.

The flood washed down, bringing up bursts of rolling stones, menacing, unstoppable, the army was in chaos, shouting and killing sounded on all sides, only to see the southwest direction rushing out of the Daluo army, towards this side of the horse.

Where can the millions of troops take care of the rest, have withdrawn, but now the army has gone deep into the valley, dilemma, Wu Chengying with the front army of millions, seeing this scene, immediately decided, waved the army to continue forward, rushed out of the canyon, and the middle two or three million troops panicked, fled in all directions, under the impact of the flood, has long been collapsed, drowned in the Pinggu Pass.

Liu Xuan and the others stood at the end, retreated in a panic, and escaped.

Seeing the southern army rushing towards him, he hurriedly withdrew to the northeast with hundreds of thousands of remnants.

Liu Xuan never imagined that the Da Luo Army would think of this trick and flood Pinggu Pass, causing him to experience his first fiasco in several months, losing more than two million elite divisions and greatly damaging his vitality.

Liu Xuan had never been so embarrassed, he fled with the remnants of the army for a day and a night, without rest, and now he didn't know where he was, and the Da Luo army was not in a hurry to chase and kill.

At this moment, he still hasn't come back to his senses, obviously full of confidence with five million troops to fight here, and now a flood has awakened him like a dream, he doesn't know how many have survived, he only knows that now these military horses under his hand are less than 600,000.

The remaining army of more than four million was washed away by a flood in this way, Liu Xuan's mind was blank, and he destroyed the army of more than four million single-handedly, and it was an unacceptable fiasco in anyone's hands

"Emperor, Emperor" In an open space, the generals called softly.

Liu Xuan was startled and looked at them blankly.

"Your Majesty, you can eat something, you can't be hungry." Wu Anping handed over a piece of dry cake and said in a trembling voice.

Liu Xuan looked at him, his eyes were red and swollen, obviously caused by excessive tears of sadness, his son Wu Chengying led the front army, and now he is missing, thinking of this, Liu Xuan's heart flashed a trace of guilt, took the dry cake, and chewed it.

In addition to Wu Chengying, there is also Song Ze's son Song Feng, who has no news.

He was now in a daze, he didn't know if what he was doing was right, the army of five million who followed him, without any battle, was lost like this, and now he realized how stupid he was, and it was really ridiculous to try to annex Da Luo.

"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death!" At this time, Liu Yi knelt in front of Liu Xuan with a sad voice, his eyes were red, and his face was full of guilt.

All this was planned by him, he led the fifteen million army to advance into Daluo, although the results were remarkable, but at this last moment, the five million elites he was full of expectations were drowned in Pinggu Pass by a flood, how he did not blame himself, how not to regret the beginning.

He also wanted to use these five million troops to capture Jufeng City in one fell swoop, and form a confrontation with the Daluo Dynasty with the Tonghai River, showing his ambitions, but now they are all in vain.

When he was in front of Pinggu Pass, he was reminded by the emperor that he should and must think of all possibilities, but he never expected that Nangong Jin would be such a ruthless person, blocking the water of the Haihe River and pouring into Pinggu Pass.

Now, what face does he have to face Liu Xuan, and he said heavily, "The minister is willing to apologize with death!" ”

Liu Xuan looked at Liu Yi and said in a deep voice, "If your death can be exchanged for those millions of troops, I will not hesitate, now that the matter has come to this, the sin is not all in you, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the future, you get up." ”

"Thank the emperor for not killing!" Liu Yi was shocked, and bowed before getting up.

On the side, Song Xue hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what our army looks like now, isn't it?"

Everyone fell silent, Song Xue's words were obvious, the defeat was like a mountain, they now only had 600,000 remnants left, what combat power did they have to compete with Nangong Jin, for the sake of today, they had to retreat temporarily, return to Jiuyou, and then rest.

Seeing that the ministers did not object, even Liu Yi had no rebuttal, but Liu Xuan also saw it, and everyone's faces were full of unwillingness.

Liu Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if you don't take revenge, what face do you have to go back, if you don't take Jufeng City this time, you will not look back." ”

Everyone was shocked, "I am willing to do my best for the emperor!" ”

Liu Xuan got up and said, "Order, the whole army will continue to advance north, take a city, and wait for the future." ”

No matter how scheming the ancients were, how could they make him admit defeat as a modern person, and his military strength could not be compared, so he would change to advanced weapons, and he could also do it in battles with fewer victories
