The doctor hurriedly took out the jug to wash the wound for Ying Jian, sprinkled a thick layer of medicine on the wound, and wrapped his thigh with a cloth belt. After finishing his work, he went to check Winning Sword's other wounds.

Win Jian then asked, "What's the situation?" ”

The commander of the outflanking army said excitedly: "Great victory!" The only regret is that Deng Lai's banner and seven or eight hundred people ran away. Forget it, you can take care of your injuries! Before coming, the commander repeatedly advised: I want to protect you and not let you be on the front line. Well, you're so badly injured, I don't even know how to report it to the marshal. ”

Ying Jian smiled slightly: "You just need to report truthfully." After such a big victory, he still said you are a fart! ”

On the post road of nearly 30 miles on the east bank of Heyang, the Wei army and the Qin army, with the two north-south battlefields of Dushan and Gushan as the center, were inseparable. The first was sent by Bai Hu at noon on the morning of the incident, and his grasp of the matter, his judgment and arrangement, which was only delivered on the 24th because of a detour. The second is Chen Xi, the commander of the Gushan front, who reported his judgment and arrangements for this incident on the night of the incident, after a day of fierce fighting. The third is his descendant, Gao Jing, the commander of the Ninth Army, who received an order to make a detour to the front line of Gushan, and after a fierce battle with the Wei army in the morning of the 23rd, he sent his judgment and actual combat experience and feelings about the Wei army.

After reading the three urgent briefs, Gongsun Ying ordered: 1. All the Qin troops and their entourage should evacuate Anyi tonight (24th)! 2. The two armies of the Ketou Army immediately withdrew from Anyi, and on the afternoon of the 24th, the vanguard army (at least no less than two divisions) must rush to Minggua and hold on to Minggua to prevent the attack of the enemy of Minggua! 3. All the evacuated personnel of Anyi will obey the command of General Ju, march overnight, and arrive at Minggua to assemble and stand by noon tomorrow (25th) morning! Fourth, order General Ju to pile up any materials that cannot be taken with him or in his car and leave them at the disposal of the citizens of Anyi. After giving the order, he hurried to the life melon.

When Gongsun Martingale arrived at the life melon, it was already the time of the sea. In the middle of the night, Chen Xi, Gao Jing and other generals at the level of a division commander were waiting on the shore of the water to welcome Gongsun Marting.

Gongsun Ying was very unhappy in his heart, and after getting out of the car with a calm face, he walked into the Chinese army tent set up for him without saying a word. After entering the tent, he asked coldly: "You all came to pick me up, and there is no one to command the Gushan front?" ”

Chen Xi's military position is the highest, and he can only reply stubbornly: "Zuo Shuchang!" The Gushan front has been quiet since yesterday. The Wei army no longer attacked, but simply held the vested positions and waited for our army to attack. From yesterday to today, I have exchanged attacks with General Gao thirteen times, but the effect is not hit, and the guard general is the Yuanli guard general of the Du Ping Society; Therefore, according to General Bai's order, we will leave the adjutant general, and the main general will come to obey your command! ”

Gongsun Ying's eyes continued to dwell on what he was greeting, and it was time to change the subject and ask, "How is the Dushan front?" ”

Chen Xi replied: "Zuo Shuchang! Due to the post road from Dushan to Gushan, which is more than 20 miles, it was occupied by the Wei army. Our army needs to make a 50-mile detour through a mountain road, so the two sides are not allowed to contact each other unless there is a special military situation. We only have twenty-three days, which is yesterday's war. Yesterday's battle brief said: Both sides are fighting for the mountains on both sides of the post road, and they are still in a state of stalemate. The Wei army transferred the 20,000 troops attacking Daliang and the 10,000 troops guarding Heyang to Dushan to defend the post road. Now the Wei army has 100,000 people, arranged on both sides of the post road for more than 20 miles. General Bai judged: The Wei army wants to use this 100,000-strong army to block the post road for 15 days, so as to buy time for the main force of the Wei army rushing from Daliang and Hexi to encircle and annihilate our 200,000-strong army between Minggua and Gushan. ”

After hearing this, Gongsun Ying sighed, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Chen Xi, next to Gao Jing!" Tell me about the two of you: Our army mobilized five elite troops, without stopping and regardless of human lives, to attack this post road in turn, according to your estimates, how long will it take to get through these more than 20 miles at the earliest? ”

The two were silent for a while, and after a while, Gao Jing was the first to speak: "Zuo Shuchang!" After two days of fighting with the Wei army, if it was the Ketou army, it would take at least ten days, and I had to be prepared for more than sixty percent of the battle losses. ”

Chen Xi added: "The main reason is that the terrain of Dushan is too conducive to defense, even the best winning sword in the mountain attack battle, a division was completely damaged in battle, and even he was seriously injured, so it is not a way to fight hard." I mention yì, is it to send military scouts to find a small way to bypass this post road, and take advantage of the snow to use snow boats to bypass the Wei army and withdraw to Shaoliang. ”

When Gongsun Ying heard the great joy, he directly showed a rare smile and praised: "This strategy is very good!" Not to be a favorite general of General Ju. ”

As soon as Chen Xi heard Zuo Shuchang's rare direct praise, he didn't dare to be greedy, and immediately said: "Zuo Shuchang! It's not all my attention. It was after General Gao and I discussed it for a long time, but we really couldn't defeat the Wei army, and then I came up with it by hiding. ”

Gongsun Ying looked at everyone with a happy face, and said eloquently: "Those who are good at fighting should be like this." When you fight a war and do things, you have to settle accounts first? If we don't turn the corner, we will install the south wall. In this way, not only did we fail to achieve our goal, but we injured ourselves in the hands, which is not a cost-effective thing, so we must not do it. So be it! Chen Xi. The two vanguard divisions of the Ketou Army have arrived at the fateful melon and are deploying, you should know this. You leave the defense of the melon to the head army. I appoint you as the commander of the pathfinder army, take your army, and find a way for me to go from the life melon to the underworld! ”

Chen Xi excitedly straightened his chest, and after a chest-beating military salute, he returned loudly: "Obey!" I promise to find out the way within five days, and sign the road along the way, and clear the obstacles that can be cleared, so that the 160,000-strong army can pass through Guò. ”

Gongsun Ying smiled: "Chen Xi, although the army is only 160,000 now, there are still more than 40,000 Wei people who have migrated with the army, so ah, after you have explored a certain way, you will come to report!" We follow you. Five days, I can't wait, right? By the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest, these 200,000 people, except for the tens of thousands of people who were left behind to contain and confuse the Wei army, would all leave Mingua, and they should not be less than 50 miles. Can you do it? ”

Chen Xi replied very simply: "I promise to do it." ”

Gongsun Ying looked at the generals and ordered to drive people out: "It's past the time now." Go back and rest! From tomorrow onwards, we will be in danger of fleeing for life and death. Go back and get ready! ”
