But said that Xiao Yanbing and Zhao Hui drank in the Chinese army, and did not return until late at night, and just came back from the tent of the Chinese army's capital, Xiao Yanbing urgently ordered Ma Hou to come over, and Ma Hou hurriedly walked into the big tent, Xiao Yanbing pulled him and asked: "Just now the army learned that the grain and grass were burned, and the majority of the governors were angry when they heard this, and killed the ignorant boy Zhang Cheng." Then he ordered the three armies to prepare to retreat and retreat to Xucheng. At that time, the Zhao army will be able to obtain grain and grass again and continue to attack the lord. Now that the army has retreated, everything we have done now will be in vain. So, now we have to act immediately and prepare for a counteroffensive. Is Xue Pingchuan's side ready? ”

When Ma Hou heard this, he was also a little nervous, and he said: "Feng Jichang came back and said that General Xue personally burned the grain and grass of the army, and told Feng Jichang that let's burn the fire, and when the Lingzhou army and our army will fight together, they will definitely defeat the Zhao army." ”

"Okay, well, after dark tonight, immediately burn the fire and contact the Lingzhou army. When the time comes, we will go straight into the camp of the Chinese army and cut off Zhao Hui's head, this battle is the battle of my Xiao Yanbing to learn shame. Make it clear to a few of our loyal generals that we will prepare for war. Xiao Yanbing said excitedly.

Liu Tang was on the Black Rock City in Lingzhou, silently looking at the Zhao army camp in the distance, his face showing excitement and hesitation. Xue Pingchuan had already told him Xiao Yanbing's plan, tonight, as long as Xiao Yanbing raised the fire, the army would pour out, 200,000 troops. This stop is as expected, then it will inevitably defeat Zhao Jun and greatly damage his vitality. After this battle, the Zhao army will inevitably be unable to attack Lingzhou. Even, you can take the opportunity to recapture Qingzhou or Yingzhou.

However, if there is fraud in it, and Xiao Yanbing has already returned to the Zhao family, then this plan will be his Liu Tang's life-urging talisman and life-killing gun. Xiao Yanbing deliberately used the grain and grass of more than 300,000 troops to lure our army to attack, 200,000 troops. Liu Tang was both excited and panicked at this time.

Xue Pingchuan had already been fighting the side, sharpening his guns and sharpening his knives, just waiting for Xiao Yanbing to burn the fire and attack at any time. But at this time, he found that the lord not far away looked uneasy, and hurriedly rode his horse to the lord's side, and said: "The lord is hesitating, does General Xiao Yanbing and General Xiao really submit to my Lingzhou?" Is it Zhao Hui's shameless people who make the trick? ”

"Yes, 200,000 Lingzhou sons, 200,000 fresh lives. It's not a trivial matter. If this battle fulfills our wishes, it will be great; But once it backfires, it will be a world falling apart. The lives of hundreds of my wives and children, I can't save them. Liu Tang looked at the deep dark night in the distance and sighed.

On the side, Lingzhou generals Wu Renjie and Liao Shixu stood beside Liu Tang on the left and right, and they were all a little uneasy when they heard the words. Wu Renjie arched his hand and said: "Lord, let's not talk about it, whether Xiao Yanbing is really obedient to us." Zhao Hui alone should not be underestimated. Zhao Hui has been fighting for nearly 20 years, and his courage and resourcefulness are well known. How could he know no one and use that unknown Zhang Cheng child to be the general of the expedition to the south? I have heard that Zhang Cheng defeated the barbarian soldiers, outwitted Gannan Province, and led the Gyeongju army to defeat, how could such a person be so unbearable. Zhao Hui once asserted that Zhang Cheng had a . The talent of a general can lead an army of 100,000 and command freely. What kind of person Zhao Hui is, which battle is not a big victory, although he is brave, the most fundamental thing is that he has the ability to recognize people and judge people. Therefore, I would have thought that I should think twice. ”

Liao Shixu also seconded the proposal, which made Liu Dan even more puzzled.

At this moment, in the south of the Zhao army's camp, there was a big fire, Xue Pingchuan immediately jumped off the horse, knelt in front of Liu Tang, and arched his hand: "Lord, General Xiao is more excluded in the Zhao army, this time Zhao Hui worships Zhang Cheng as the general of the expedition to the south, Zhang Cheng scolded Zhou Bingyan and General Xiao as soon as he came up, which made General Xiao disappointed in the Zhao army." Moreover, the lord has a high degree of grace to the general, and now the lord does not investigate the general's rebellious behavior and accepts it sincerely, how can the general have two hearts. The last general had many contacts with Ma Hou, the general's subordinate, and Ma Hou told the general several times that the general had returned to Lingzhou, and also brought a letter of remorse, and this lord also saw it. Therefore, I think that this plan must be sincere to solve the worries of the lord. ”

Xue Pingchuan didn't wait for Liu Dan to speak, and said hurriedly: "At this time, General Xiao has already raised the fire as a signal, if we don't move, then General Bi will be killed." The Yingzhou army is in danger. Moreover, the grain and grass of the Zhao army's army of more than 300,000 were burned, and the three armies were shaken and the army's morale was in turmoil. The spies have already come back to report that the front army of the Zhao army has retreated in order, and the Chinese army is now probably retreating most of it, at this time, if we lead the army to attack the Zhao army, we will definitely win a complete victory, and the Zhao army will respond to the battle in a hurry, and there will be countless casualties. Lord, don't hesitate any longer, this will change. Don't miss the opportunity and come again! ”

When Liao Shixu heard Xue Pingchuan say this, he also felt very reasonable, nodded and said: "What Commander Xue said is good, lord, why don't you let me lead 30,000 horses to attack the Zhao army first, and try the truth of the Zhao army?" ”

Liu Dan looked at the fire in the distance, and at this time he was shocked to hear the sound of shouting and killing, he made up his mind and said to Liao Shixu: "Okay, according to what Shixu said, once the attack is successful, I will wait together to kill." ”

The words are divided into two ends, Xiao Yanbing saw that it was late at night, the Zhao army had already packed up, and most of the former army Huo Han and the Chinese army Zhou Bingyan had already withdrawn. So, he resolutely lit the torch, but it attracted the questioning of his subordinates sent by Han Yunsheng of the rear army, and Xiao Yanbing couldn't answer a few times, so he fought.

The two armies immediately fought, but the grain and grass were burned, and the three armies were in confusion and were weakened.

At this time, when he heard that the enemy army was attacking the former military camp, Zhao Hui hurriedly summoned Han Yunsheng and explained the original situation, and Han Yunsheng was taken aback. Now that the former army and the Chinese army have left, only the Qingzhou army and the Dadu Governor's personal guard in his own hands are left in the Zhao army camp.

And at such a critical juncture, Zhao Hui actually believed in himself so much and entrusted his life to himself, Han Yunsheng was grateful. He knelt down and said to Zhao Hui: "Governor, you believe in the last general so much, the last general dares to die without service." Now Han Yunsheng swore to the sky that he was willing to follow the Dadu Governor in this life, follow him in life and death, and never betray. ”

"Well, between life and death, you can see people's hearts. Yunsheng does not live up to Zhao, and Zhao should also live up to the king in this life. Wait for this matter, you are the general of Qingzhou. Now, we have to resist the strong enemy together! Now you immediately send a town of military horses to resist the Lingzhou army, and another town of military horses to resist Xiao Yan's army. The rest of the army withdrew with Pontus. ”

"Yes! The last general commanded. Han Yunsheng took the order and left.

Xiao Yan's 50,000 soldiers and 10,000 horses fought fiercely all night, and the Qingzhou army was defeated and the whole army was annihilated. The 30,000 horses of the Lingzhou Army stormed the camp, and the 10,000 horses of the Qingzhou Army did not retreat and were annihilated. At this time, more than 20,000 people of Zhao Hui had retreated to Ninghua County, Lingzhou, and joined forces with Zhou Bingyan's army of the Chinese army.

"Metropolitan Governor, Xiao Yanbing is reversed, what should we do next?" Zhou Bingyan asked.

The night's wild running also exhausted Zhao Hui. He gasped for breath on his horse and said, "Everything is according to the predetermined plan, retreat in the direction of Xucheng." ”

"Yes!" The generals commanded.

After the battle outside the Black Rock City, Liu Tang went out of the city, and Xiao Yanbing met Liu Tang. Liu Tang ignored his previous suspicions, and appointed him to continue to serve as the general of Yingzhou, and allocated 50,000 horses under Xue Pingchuan to him. Xiao Yanbing was moved to tears, and couldn't speak to himself for a long time.

Xue Pingchuan reminded on the side: "Lord, general." At this time, the Zhao army was defeated and fled in a hurry. Zhao Jun has more than 200,000 horses, no matter how fast he escapes, he will definitely not be able to go far. We are taking advantage of the victory to pursue, a little sluggish, I am afraid that the fighter plane will be lost! ”

When Xiao Yanbing heard this, he put away his emotions and said, "Oh, lord, what General Xue said is exact. The last general asked for orders and pursued the Zhao army. ”

Liao Shixu stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lord, Zhao Jun has been running wild all night, but I am afraid that he has walked dozens of miles. I'm afraid our infantry won't be able to catch up in time. It is necessary to chase with cavalry, bite the follow-up troops first, and the large army will follow the light vehicles, and the troops can only fight with the Zhao army in a hurry. So, let me be the vanguard! ”

Wu Renjie was dissatisfied with Xiao Yanbing, a rebel general, who turned his head and took away his 50,000 horses, and nodded in agreement with what Liao Shixu said. Liu Dan agreed. Xiao Yanbing was helpless, worthy of obeying orders, and pursued with the rear of the army.

Liao Shixu knew that Zhao Hui ran out of food this time, the army's morale was in chaos, and more than 200,000 troops fled in a hurry. With such a great achievement, how can it be given to others. Then he personally led 30,000 cavalry to pursue Zhao Hui.
