Ge Po, Sun Ce's camp.

"Lord!"

Xi Ping hurriedly entered the big tent of the Chinese army and bowed to Sun Ce.

"Excuse me!"

Sun Ce waved his hand, waited for Xiping to sit down on the side, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the movement of the Xiliang Army!" ”

Xi Ping said: "There is no movement for the time being!" ”

Sun Ce frowned for a moment, and said: "It's a little strange, Luo Zheng's follow-up army has arrived, it's been three days, and the Xiliang army is still standing still, what does Luo Zheng want to do, is there any conspiracy?" ”

Xi straightened his face and said: "Luo Zheng is scheming, Jia Xu is not good at stubble, the Xiliang army does not move, it is nothing more than a flank and a sudden sneak attack from the flank, or a sudden sneak attack from the flank, or cut off the retreat of our army, the lord should be careful!" ”

Sun Ce nodded and said, "This is natural, in the face of an opponent like Luo Zheng, no one dares to be careless." The problem now is that we can all think that Luo Zheng has most of the intrigues and tricks in his immobility, but we don't know what his goal is. ”

Xi Ping thought for a while, and then said: "Will Luo Zheng bypass our army and attack An Fengjin from Ruyin?" ”

Sun Ce's eyes froze, and he said awe-inspiringly: "There is indeed this possibility, I have to guard against it!" ”

Xi Ping said: "The lord can reminding General Ling Cao that he needs to beware of a sneak attack by the Xiliang Army." However, I thought that it was pointless for our army to stalemate with the Xiliang Army here, and there were only 1,000 defenders in Anfengjin, and the troops were still weak! ”

Sun Ce said: "The meaning of the military advisor is ......"

Xi Ping said: "At present, Cao Cao's whereabouts are unknown, and Liu Bei has failed to capture Wancheng, so our army can be said to be fighting alone." Luo Zhengqin led a large army to come. Moreover, the strength of our army is not as good as that of the Xiliang Army, and it is almost impossible to capture Runan. Unless Cao Cao reorganizes his troops and leads the Luo expedition, it will only be a waste of time for our army to stalemate with the Luo expedition in Runan. ”

Sun Ce frowned and was silent. The situation is indeed awkward.

originally thought that Cao Cao had attracted Luo Zheng's firepower, and just took advantage of the situation to enter Yuzhou.

Who would have thought that just a few days after the army entered Runan, Luo Zheng personally led the army to Pingyu.

Sun Ce faintly felt that Cao Cao might not be able to turn over this time, but he still reported a trace of luck and refused to say it.

After being silent for a long time, he said, "What does the military advisor think?" ”

Xi Ping said: "Cao Cao failed to contain Luo Zheng's army, our army is small, not enough to deal with the Xiliang army, I think our army should quickly give up the battle for the Central Plains." Retreat to Anfengjin, sit and watch the changes in the Central Plains, in order to preserve your strength, and wait for the opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition! ”

Sun Ce pondered for a long time before he muttered: "That's it, it's according to the opinion of the military advisor." However, it is getting late now, and all departments are ordered to prepare for tomorrow's third watch to make rice, and the fifth watch will raise troops and withdraw to Anfengjin. ”

Xi Ping said again: "Most of our troops are foot soldiers, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Xiliang army. You can set fire to the mountain! ”

Sun Ce struck the festival and said: "Good, the military advisor can order someone to prepare." ”

"Obey the order!"

Xi Ping arched his hand, got up and exited the tent.

Pingyu, the camp of the Xiliang Army.

Luo Zheng put down the bamboo scroll in his hand. Asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, what is the chance of Zhang Liao sneaking up on An Fengjin?" ”

Jia Xu stroked his willow beard and muttered for a moment before saying, "General Zhang Liao has a good command of the troops. At least a 50% chance of winning! I'm afraid that the only one who is worried about this matter will not be able to hide it for long, and this person is very resourceful. Our army has been standing still, for fear that this person will see through it. ”

"Xiping?"

Luo Zheng frowned. said: "Will Sun Ce withdraw from the army?" ”

Jia Xu said: "There is also this possibility, Sun Ce dared to send troops to attack Runan because Cao Cao was holding back the lord." Now that the lord is coming, Sun Ce and Xi Ping must have expected that Cao Cao would not be enough to contain the lord, and how could Sun Ce resist my Xiliang army with only Sun Ce's soldiers and horses. If the prediction is not bad, it is very likely that Sun Ce will retreat to Anfengjin in the near future and sit and watch the war in the Central Plains. ”

Luo Zheng suddenly perked up and said, "In this way, our army can follow and pursue!" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "If you change the position, you will inevitably set fire to the mountain to stop the pursuers!" ”

"Huh?"

Luo Zheng's eyes froze, and he said awe-inspiringly: "What Xiaozhi said is extremely true, this matter has to be guarded against!" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "The lord can order General Yan Xing to lead a cavalry to cut off Sun Ce's retreat from Ancheng, even if he can't block Sun Ce's army, he must bite it to the death, so that Sun Ce does not dare to march at full speed, and buy time for our army!" ”

Luo Zheng said categorically: "Good, quickly summon Yan Xing to come!" ”

"Yes!"

Xu Chu agreed, and immediately ordered his guards to call Yan Xing.

In order to prevent Sun Ce's army from running away, Yan Xing did not dare to delay after receiving the military order, and set off overnight.

Early the next morning, before Luo Zheng woke up, he was woken up by Xu Chu running in.

"Lord, it's not good!"

Xu Chu banged on the door and shouted, "Jiangdongjun has run away." ”

"What?"

Luo Zheng didn't even wear shoes, so he ran out barefoot and shouted, "Sun Ce ran away? ”

Xu Chu nodded hurriedly and said, "Exactly, that guy really set fire to the mountain!" ”

"Hurry up and gather the generals!"

Luo Zheng screamed and ran back to get dressed.

However, a group of civil and military forces gathered in the big tent.

Luo Zheng strode to the main seat, flicked his cloak and sat down, and said with burning eyes: "As Wenhe expected, Sun Ce set a fire and ran away, but have you sent someone to investigate, can our army pursue?" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "I have already investigated, the road was blocked by the fire, and it is difficult for the army to get through!" ”

Luo Zheng frowned and said, "Is it just to let Sun Ce's little child run away?" ”

Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "Ge Po is more than 700 miles away from An Fengjin, most of the Jiangdong army are foot soldiers, even if they run, they can't run far, General Yan Xing has already chased down from the Ancheng detour, and the lord can lead the cavalry to pursue from the Ruyin detour, and he should be able to catch up." ”

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "Good, just follow the words of filial piety!" ”

Jia Xu said: "The army is on an expedition, and the grain and grass must also keep up, and it is also necessary to capture Gushi, Ruyin, Xincai and other counties, open up the official road to Anfengjin, and then order General Zhao Yun to send troops and horses to escort the grain and grass along the way!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Good, quickly send the horse to Xuchang, and order Zhao Yun to send troops to escort the grain and grass!" ”

After a pause, his eyes swept over the generals under the tent again, and finally fell on Zhang Xiu, shouting: "Zhang Xiu listens to the order!" ”

Zhang Xiu hurriedly got up and went out of the ranks, stood at the foot of the hall and arched his hand: "The last general!" ”

Luo Zheng said: "The rate army has captured Gushi, Ruyin, Xincai and other counties!" ”

Zhang Xiu's heart was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Since this guy returned to Liangzhou, he hid in Zhang Ji's mansion for more than half a year, Zhang Ji cheekily asked Luo for intercession, and Luo Zheng called him into the army to serve, but he never had the opportunity to lead the army, and he did not make any contributions.

I didn't want to stay up for three or four years, but finally came to the bitter end, but I had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Luo Zheng also had no choice, there was really no one available under the account, so he could only give Zhang Xiu a chance. (To be continued......)
