Thirty miles away, Jia Long put his hands behind his back and sighed faintly for a while, both relieved and helpless. www.biquge.info Zhang Ren has been following him for more than twenty miles, scouts rushing back and forth, but the main force just refuses to approach and does not give him any chance to sneak attack, but sticks behind him and refuses to leave. Jia Long understood that Zhang Ren wanted to attack him with the Ba people who were intercepted in front of him, and he was waiting for an opportunity and waiting patiently.

This is a promising young man, but alas, it can't be used by me.

None of the cavalry came back, it should be the whole army annihilated, which was not only expected by Jia Long, but also a little unexpected, more than 100 cavalry to chase and kill more than 400 light heroes, even if they win, it was a miserable victory, not to mention that there were more than 3,000 people behind Gan Ning, but none of them could escape back, and he didn't even report a message, he still felt that something was wrong.

"Captain!" One of the guards beside him pointed to a war horse galloping in the distance and barked. Jia Long knew that this was the return of the scout he had sent to investigate, and he couldn't help but perk up, knowing the results of the more than 100 cavalry, he could roughly guess what was happening in front of him.

The scout ran to Jia Long, turned over and dismounted, hurried a few steps, and saluted Jia Long: "Captain." ”

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Instead, Jia Long relaxed and waved his hand slightly, signaling the scout to slow down first. The scout took a sip of water, calmed down, and then recounted what he had discovered.

He inspected the battlefields of the two battles, the first battlefield had three hundred and fifty-one corpses of brocade clothes and one hundred and twenty-six corpses of knights, and the second battlefield had two hundred and eighty-one corpses but one hundred and eighty-three corpses of knights. Judging from the war horses that were still tied to the trees after being hacked to death, Gan Ning successfully curbed the speed of the cavalry this time, so the knights were all wiped out.

When Jia Long heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that he was a little underestimated. I wanted to use the advantage of the cavalry to completely annihilate Gan Ning's group of light heroes, kill the morale of the Ba people, and then break it with one blow, but more than 300 knights were wiped out by Gan Ning, in this way, not only did the goal not be achieved, but it hurt his morale, and more importantly, in addition to some scouts and war horses around him, even he himself could only walk, and he could no longer take out a slightly larger cavalry.

Bashu is mountainous, and the cavalry is inconvenient, but on this plain, a cavalry of hundreds of people can play a vital role in wedging into the battlefield at a critical moment, which is why Jia Long will lead more than 300 cavalry.

However, this cavalry that he relied on to turn the situation around was completely annihilated by Gan Ning, and Wu Ban was also folded. As soon as he thought of Wu Ban, Jia Long's eyelids began to jump uncontrollably, Wu Ban was watched by Liu Yan, but he died on the battlefield, how to explain to Liu Yan when he went back?

"Ahh

Soon, Jia Long got the news that the Ba people were thirty miles ahead, occupying a dangerous terrain, and were waiting for them to attack. After hearing the report, Jia Long ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, and kept pacing on the side with his hands behind his back.

The tents and other baggage had been lost, and each soldier had only three days' dry rations on him except for his own weapons, but fortunately the weather was relatively warm at this time, and even camping in the open was not a big problem. Hearing the order to rest, they remained in formation, and took turns sending people to fetch water and nibble on dry food. They also know that there is an interception in front of them and a chasing soldier in the back, and they may fight at any time, so they dare not be careless, and more importantly, although they have followed Jia Long, the captain, for less than a month, they know that this Jia captain is a murderer who does not blink an eye, and no one wants to lose his head in vain.

When night fell, Jia Long had not yet issued a new order, and the soldiers did not sit back to back, dozing off, and Jia Long's lean figure gradually disappeared into the night, but his steps were still steady and undisturbed.

……

Pu Hu and the others discussed for a long time, and finally handed over the military power to Liu Xiu, they didn't want to die like Ma Xiang and Zhao Qi, and they were not completely sure if they wanted to defeat Jia Long at this moment. The first is that Jia Long's record is too amazing, and the second is that they themselves know that in terms of bravery, the Ba people are brave enough, but the battle is not just brave to solve all problems, they have followed the imperial court many times to quell the rebellion and make meritorious contributions, but no one has ever been able to be qualified for the position of command, they are just a knife, a relatively sharp knife.

Now that you have taken refuge in Liu Xiu, let's just be thorough.

Liu Xiu took over the power of the troops and redeployed the defensive formation, and the original arrangement of Pu Hu and others was relatively sparse, that is, when the enemy came, they rushed up, surrounded them, and attacked from all sides. This kind of formation is suitable for dealing with opponents with a large disparity in numbers and a lack of tenacity in battle, and it is not easy to stop Jia Long, Liu Xiu has made adjustments, strengthened the strength of the defense, and is ready for a hard battle.

When Liu Xiu arranged the formation, Guo Jia sat aside, clasped his hands on his knees, looked up at the sky, and blinked his eyes from time to time. After Liu Xiu finished arranging, he handed over a pot of water and smiled slightly: "The general is thirsty, drink saliva and moisten his throat." ”

Liu Xiu took the kettle and poured a big sip, Pu Hu and the others had a tendon in their brains, and they couldn't understand his arrangement, so he had to explain it over and over again, and his throat was about to smoke. "Fengxiao, you can go to the back later."

Guo Jia smiled, knowing that Liu Xiu was going to take the lead again this time, he shook his head: "General, it doesn't seem to be enough." ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment: "You mean, Jia Long won't come?" ”

"If Zhang Ren doesn't give him a chance to sneak attack, I don't think Jia Long will come." Guo Jia pointed around: "Jia Long is from Shu County, and he rushed to Mianzhu from here, so it is impossible not to know the terrain here." He sent his cavalry to seize this terrain in the first place, and now that we have the upper hand, can he still throw himself into the net? ”

Liu Xiu's eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his mouth was a little bitter. He was only concerned about arranging Pu Hu and the others just now, but he forgot about it. Jia Long is not a pig, knowing that this is a pit, will he still come? Although the scout reported that Jia Long had been camping thirty miles away, who knew if anything would change in one night.

"So what do you think he might be?" Liu Xiu's head is a little big, this is the Chengdu Plain of Pingchuan, and the distance between Mianzhu and Luoxian is close to the western foot of Longmen Mountain, so he can still find a favorable terrain for defense, if Jia Long does not go from here, and turns to the west, there is no good terrain there, even if there is, it is too late for him to change his formation now.

"I think it should be here." Guo Jia's gaze looked at the ground. On the ground, there is a sketch.

"Shifang?"

"Yes. Shifang, Jialong's location, our position, roughly form an equilateral triangle, thirty miles, if you march in a hurry, you can reach it in about an hour. Although Shifang is only a county, there are not many troops, but if Jia Long enters the city, we will have nothing to do with him. I think it's very likely that Jia Long will suddenly turn around and rush to Shifang, and wait for the scouts to report the news back, but we may not be able to catch up even if we want to. ”

Liu Xiu nodded again and again, his palms were full of sweat.

"We have a ship, though." Guo Jia laughed: "And if Jia Long wants to reach Shifang, he must first cross Luoshui. ”

Liu Xiu glanced at Guo Jia and laughed along. Shifang County is in the south of Luoshui, and if Jia Long wants to rush to Shifang from his current position, he must cross Luoshui. Although Luoshui is not difficult, but in a hurry, it is difficult for Jia Long to cross three or four thousand people across Luoshui, but they have this advantage, Gan Ning has one hundred and ten boats moored on Luoshui, tracing the river, and can easily smash Jia Long's plan.

Of course, if you sit here and wait, you won't be able to talk about anything.

Liu Xiu immediately found Gan Ning, Gan Ning had fallen asleep after Wang Zhi's acupuncture, he was breathing steadily, Liu Xiu touched his forehead, it was a little hot, but it was not hot, and the problem of inflammation should not be serious.

"He is in good health, and he has taken medicine in time, so there shouldn't be any major problems." Wang Zhi said with a smile.

"That's good." Liu Xiu didn't alarm Gan Ning, and then asked the young man who was waiting for Gan Ning to call the other people in charge and tell him his plan, but the young man didn't say a word, and immediately nodded and agreed to send someone to Luoshui.

……

Huming Mountain, Liu Yan and Mrs. Lu sat opposite each other. Liu Yan was wearing a scarf on his head and a well-cut cotton robe, looking personable, just a well-educated Confucian, not the Yizhou Thorn Shi who held the power of Yizhou, but behind him stood five warriors with big shoulders and round waists, staring intently at Mrs. Lu opposite.

Liu Yan is very calm, not because of these five warriors, he knows that Mrs. Lu's Taoism and martial arts are good, if you really want to hurt him, these five warriors can't stop it, but he has another trick, his son Liu Zhang is now "studying" with Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei, and there are also five such warriors around him, if Mrs. Lu wants to have any bad intentions, she must first consider her two sons.

Obviously, this trick is very effective, although Mrs. Lu looked unwilling, and there was a faint anger between her eyebrows, she could only hide between her eyebrows, and she didn't dare to show it, on the contrary, she had to patiently explain some key points of meditation to Liu Yan.

After listening to Mrs. Lu's words, Liu Yan went back and tried meditation and found it very interesting. In fact, Confucianism also has the method of meditation, which is the heart fasting mentioned in the "Zhuangzi", which is passed down from Confucius, but Confucius was only used to calm the mind, reflect on his own gains and losses every day, and have the effect of health preservation. Later, Fangshu gradually invaded Confucianism, and this pure meditation had more skills in the art of breathing, but it was not as deep as the study in the Taoist sect. As a Confucian student, Liu Yan was no stranger to these, and soon found his way.

He likes the feeling of trance very much, and after being busy with official business every day, he sits quietly for half an hour, and he does feel refreshed and relaxed.

However, what he liked more was to ask Mrs. Lu, and seeing that the woman in front of him, who was getting younger and younger, clearly hated him, but had to bow down to him, he felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

Yizhou is good, Liu Xiu's several armies have been difficult to advance so far, and they can only look at Hanzhong from the eyes of Zhongnan Mountain and sigh, and the strange soldiers sent by Yuan Shu are also trapped in Xicheng by Liu Fan and Pang Xi, and finally have to withdraw from Hanzhong. Jia Long and Wu Ban rushed to Mianzhu, just a battle, they blocked the rebels in Mianzhu, just to break through Mianzhu City, cut off the heads of the rebels, and the rest of the rebels will naturally disperse, and Yizhou will return to calm.

Yizhou is mine, no one can rob it, this little woman...... It's funny. Liu Yan looked at Mrs. Lu's lightly swept face, and couldn't help laughing, and was surprised in her heart, these are all women in their early thirties, and they are actually like young women in their twenties, without even a single wrinkle, how can it be like me, I am not yet fifty years old, and my hair is a little white. It seems that this technique does have the effect of rejuvenating, and over time, I may be able to turn gray hair to black and rejuvenate.

"Envoy!" Wu Yi walked in quickly, shouted loudly, and when he saw this scene in the hall, he hesitated, but walked quickly in front of Liu Yan. Liu Yan was a little unhappy, but he also knew that Wu Yi was not the kind of reckless person, and there must be a reason for him to do this.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Yi leaned in front of Liu Yan and whispered a few words, Liu Yan's eyes immediately widened, revealing a surprised light: "Really? ”

"The one who reported the news is outside, so that you will know when you ask."

"How can this be reasonable, what does Yuan Shu want to do?" Liu Yan was furious, the calm and elegant just now was swept away, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode to the bottom of the hall, the guards rushed over to help him put on his shoes, Liu Yan waited with his feet crossed, and scolded at the same time, as soon as the shoes were put on, he hurried out of the door.

The hall was suddenly empty, Mrs. Lu stood up, looking at the direction in which Liu Yan disappeared, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but provoke a sneer of disdain. She lifted her sleeves, fanned her nose, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, and looked at the little Taoist boy next to her as she walked: "Open all the doors and windows, and disperse this cheesiness." “

"Whoa." Xiao Daotong responded with a smile and trotted to open the window. Mrs. Lu returned to the inner hall, and saw Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei walking over with their lips pouting, and looked at her aggrievedly, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and reached out and touched their heads: "Okay, okay, when the general chariot destroys this thief, we will be safe, and we will take you to Chang'an when the time comes." ”

Zhang Wei immediately became happy: "Mother, I still have to go to Jinyang." ”

Zhang Lu pouted, stopped talking, and just glanced at Zhang Wei enviously.

Mrs. Lu smiled and pinched Zhang Wei's little face: "Quick, go and invite Daoist Zuo, my mother has something to ask him to help." ”

Zhang Wei happily ran out, and soon invited Zuo Ci to come, Zuo Ci carried Zhang Wei on his shoulders, walking like flying, making Zhang Wei laugh, the two came to the hall, Zuo Ci put down Zhang Wei, and said with a smile: "What is the matter with Mrs. inviting me to come?" ”

Mrs. Lu told Liu Yan about Liu Yan's anger in the hall just now, and when Zuo Ci heard it, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is strange, aren't Yuan Shu's people trapped in Xicheng, why are there new moves?" ”

"It's because I don't understand it, so I want you to take a look, and then tell the general of the chariot." Mrs. Lu sighed, "Yizhou is too chaotic, I hope that General Cheqi can pacify Yizhou as soon as possible, so that the people of Yizhou and Guanzhong will be peaceful." ”

"Really? That's all? Zuo Ci squeezed his eyes, smiled, and walked away.

"This stinky Taoist priest who is not serious." Mrs. Lu was annoyed and angry, and reprimanded.
