Zhou Li was nearly fifty years old, he brushed his beard green, and said with a smile: "General, although there are only 5,000 people under this Ling Feng, they are all elephant soldiers, and I believe that the general knows more than the old man when he is powerful, and it is a more powerful class of troops than heavy armored cavalry, although we have heavy troops, we should not be underestimated." ”

"What does that mean, sir?"

Zhao Long asked.

There was a tall captain in the big tent and said: "Zhou Li, if you have any plans, you can say it quickly, don't grind." ”

"Calm down, generals."

After thinking about it, Zhou Li said: "We might as well retreat first and let Jiang Yi fight, he also has 50,000 elites under him, after he takes Ling Feng, wouldn't it be easier for us to ask him for someone?" ”

"Sir, I think you're thinking too simply, aren't you?"

"How?"

The lieutenant said, "He, Jiang Yi, is not a fool, how can he obediently hand over Ling Feng to us?" ”

Zhou Li said: "Then I can't help him, Ling Feng is an official of our Holy Dynasty, His Majesty ordered him to be arrested, how dare he harbor?" Don't forget, there is no Ming Kingdom now, and King Xiao Ming is also a member of my holy dynasty, and he must obey His Majesty's will! ”

"What if he doesn't give it?" Zhao Long said.

Zhou Li said: "Then destroy him!" ”

"General, Your Majesty of this grassland will let you capture it sooner or later, so it is inevitable to fight Jiang Yi, you must be prepared."

Zhao Long said: "Of course this general knows, but without His Majesty's will, how dare I move troops without authorization, doesn't this affect the overall situation, what we see is only the tip of the iceberg, and what Your Majesty sees is the entire country." ”

Zhou Li said: "General, don't worry, Your Majesty won't blame, as long as we can escort Ling Feng back to the imperial capital." No matter what method is used, Your Majesty will not take care of it. ”

After thinking about it seriously, Zhao Long finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, then we will retreat fifty miles and see Jiang Yi capture Ling Feng, if he is defeated." Let's go up again, in short, we must catch Ling Feng, that's the person His Majesty wants! ”

"No."

In the big tent, all the generals replied

That night, Ling Feng really came with five thousand elephant soldiers, however, it was empty, and Zhao Long's army had already retreated overnight. Retreating to Jiang Yi's rear, this section made Ling Feng a little surprised, originally he was going to surprise Zhao Long tonight, but he didn't expect to pounce, this is okay, the enemy retreated without a fight, he just took the opportunity to cultivate.

The dispatch of troops yielded no results, and Ling Feng returned to the camp with five thousand men. It wasn't until the next day that he got the news. Zhao Long withdrew his army, retreated for more than 50 miles, and shrank to the rear of Jiang Yi, and now he is facing Cai Wenzhuo, named Jiang Yi. There were 50,000 men under his command.

"Cai Wenzhuo is a hero, but his soldiers are just a piece of cake in my eyes!"

Ling Feng said.

"Great Chief, are we going to attack the enemy tonight?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "No need. To deal with Jiang Yi, there is no need to fight hard at all! ”

"Let's all go down, I still have to think about how to meet the enemy."

"No."

The next day, Jiang Yi advanced with 50,000 people, preparing to meet Ling Feng and arrest Ling Feng, in fact, he knew Zhao Long's intentions and wanted him to be a big forward, however, he didn't care, anyway, no matter who beat Ling Feng, he had to fight, so why bother so much.

The army of 50,000 was overwhelming, and within half a day, he came to the place where Ling Feng was camping, however, at this moment, he heard a news that Ling Feng had already left with 5,000 people at the time of the third watch, and went to the depths of the grassland.

"Coward!"

"General, should we pursue?"

Jiang Yi said: "Of course you have to chase!" Go and give the order, and the whole army continues to move forward. ”

"No."

Jiang Yi's 50,000 people are almost all infantry, and wanting to catch up with Ling Feng's 5,000 elephant soldiers can be described as a fool's dream, this is Ling Feng's strategy, in fact, he originally wanted to fight with Jiang Yi, but after careful consideration, he decided to be patient for the time being, or retreat, no, it should not be said to be retreat, but to transfer.

This is like Mao and Chairman's Long March strategy, anyway, Jiang Yi and Zhao Long's infantry can't catch up with her, he can run forward while expanding his strength, the grassland is infinitely huge, and there are countless routes that can escape

As soon as Ling Feng ran, Zhao Long reflected it, and immediately ordered the whole army to march in a hurry before, if Ling Feng ran away and became stronger, it would be a little difficult to clean him up in the future.

Zhou Li also shook his head again and again: "Miscalculation, I didn't expect this Ling Feng to make such a move, he won't fight with us, what can I do?" ”

"Sir, let's not talk about the previous things, think about it, how can you catch up with Ling Feng's guy?"

The army marched forward, and at the front, Zhao Long looked at Zhou Li and asked.

Zhou Li thought for a while: "General, this Ling Feng's subordinates are all elephant soldiers, their combat power is strong, and the marching speed is extremely fast, as long as we have 10,000 cavalry, we are afraid that if we rush up, we may not be able to defeat him, and he will continue to expand the number of soldiers, which is really tricky." ”

"I think we might as well ask Your Majesty to transfer 50,000 elephant soldiers, if we can do this, we will definitely be able to exterminate Ling Feng."

Zhao Long immediately vetoed: "How can it be done, isn't this giving the credit to others?" I'm also counting on this battle to be promoted to duke. ”

Zhou Li rolled his eyes and didn't say anything more

At this time, Ling Feng had already advanced more than two hundred miles with five thousand elephant soldiers, and the journey of two hundred miles only took him one day, but Jiang Yi and Zhao Long would take at least two to three days to catch up.

"There's no need to march forward, let's camp first."

"Big Chief, I still don't understand, what does this mean?"

Ling Feng said with a smile: "You don't understand this, look at it, in less than a year, I will be able to pull up 100,000 elephant soldiers, and then see how Zhao Long and the others can defeat me." ”

Hearing this, Aqiro was shocked, 100,000 elephant soldiers, he didn't dare to think about it, that combat power was not a joke, his clan used to have only hundreds of people, and now, it is already an expanded soldier, can it really be expanded by two hundred times, he is extremely looking forward to it in his heart.

Ling Feng said: "From now on, as long as we pass by the herdsman tribes, all of them will be conquered by force, and all the young and strong people in the tribe will be taken away. ”

"No."

Time flies, two months in the blink of an eye.

Imperial capital.

"It's been almost three months, and you haven't caught Ling Feng yet?"

In the court, Wang Xu looked at all the officials and asked.

This matter belongs to the Ministry of War, Huang Quan came out and said: "Ling Feng's troops are all elephant soldiers, he is extremely cunning, he does not fight with General Zhao and others at all, blindly avoids it, and at the same time avoids it, he wantonly conquers other tribes in the grassland, and his strength is stronger step by step. ”

"You must not sit idly by and watch Ling Feng be strong, Your Majesty, the last general will ask for his life and lead the army there." On the right side of the main hall, Sun Yu came out of the line.

Sun Yu has 200,000 elite horsemen in his hands, and it must be no problem to exterminate Ling Feng, but it is too far to go to the grassland from here, and the grain and grass will definitely not be able to keep up, Wang Xu shook his head: "Ling Feng must be exterminated, but it is not appropriate for General Sun to go, when you get to the grassland, then Ling Feng will definitely be different from what it used to be, so it is better to send someone else." ”

"Then I don't know who Your Majesty wants to send?"

Huang Quan asked. (To be continued.) )
