"Well, thirty-six plans are the best policy, just do it, let the Jin envoy enter the account." The rebel commander made up his mind.

Wang San walked into the big tent and asked, "How is the general thinking about it, can you give this envoy an answer?" ”

The rebel commander stroked his beard and said dissatisfiedly: "The Jin envoy was ordered to come to persuade him to surrender, but your main army is stationed several miles away, and it seems that there is no sincerity in persuading him to surrender!" ”

"That's it, the knives are all on the neck, how can you talk about it." A rebel general followed.

"Oh, what the general wants, you might as well tell me." Wang San hurriedly asked.

"Let your main army retreat thirty miles, and then you and I will talk about some conditions for surrender." The rebel commander Masase said, his tone seemed irrefutable.

"Okay, as long as the general is willing to surrender, let alone retreat thirty miles, even if it retreats a hundred miles, there is no problem, this envoy can promise you now." Wang San immediately replied.

Seeing Wang San's answer so happily, the rebel generals and his subordinates were taken aback, and at the same time, they were secretly glad in their hearts that as long as the main force of the Jin army retreated, they could retreat to Jiude County.

"Well, after your main army retreats, let's talk about surrender." The rebel commander said slyly.

"Okay, a word is a certainty, this is going back, before sunset, the main army must retreat, and I hope the general will not break his word!" Wang San said happily.

"Come on, send the Jin envoy out of the city." The rebel commander said politely.

Wang San walked out of the big tent, took two personal soldiers, and left Xupu City smoothly under the leadership of the rebel colonel.

#####

After noon, Wang San had not come back, Hua Anzhong was very anxious, he paced back and forth outside the big tent, and looked in the direction of Xupu City from time to time.

"Big brother, let's go into the tent and rest for a while! Wang San will be fine. ”

"This kid won't die, don't worry! Eldest brother. ”

"If the three brothers of my king have a good one, Lao Niu will definitely set foot in Xupu City and kill all the rebels in the city."

Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, and Tie Niu also looked up in the direction of Xupu City as they spoke, and their hearts were also very anxious.

Hua An glanced at the three of them and said, "You guys go to rest first!" I'll wait a little longer. ”

"They are all brothers who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they have to wait together."

"Yes, let's wait."

The three of them did not want to return to the big tent, but waited with Hua'an for Wang San's return.

"Big brother, there is a group of people rushing in the direction of Xupu City, it must be Wang San and them." Thunderstorm said loudly.

Hua An raised his eyes and took a closer look, and there was really a group of people running, so he said loudly: "That's right, it must be Wang San, it's not wrong, let's go over and take a look." After speaking, he strode to greet him, and Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, and Tie Niu followed.

"Big brother, I'm back." Wang San ran twenty steps in front of Hua An, and hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted.

"Haha! It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Hua An's hanging heart finally let go, paused, and said, "How about it, what do you gain from going to Xupu City." ”

Wang San thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, the defense of Xupu City is very tight, and it is even more difficult to conquer than we originally expected. ”

"Oh, it's so hard." Hua An was slightly surprised, and then asked, "Are the rebels willing to surrender?" What conditions do they have. ”

Wang San smiled slightly and said, "As the eldest brother expected, the rebels have plans to retreat. ”

"Oh, is it? What he said. Hua An asked curiously.

"The rebel commander said that our army had no sincerity to persuade him to surrender, and the first condition he put forward was that our army would retreat thirty miles, and then talk about surrender, but I was afraid that as soon as our army retreated, they would slip away." Wang San rebuked disdainfully.

"Did you promise him?"

"Yes, all agreed, isn't this the big brother's strategy." Wang San replied.

Hua An nodded and said, "Okay, Wang San, you did a good job, I will go and inform Deng Tingshi that the army will withdraw thirty miles back before sunset, leaving time for the rebels to evacuate Xupu City, and a few of you will go to the camps of each army and urge the soldiers to pack up and prepare to leave." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San and the other four spoke in unison.

Hua'an strode to Deng Yue's Chinese army tent, explained the situation encountered in Xupu City to Deng Yue, and asked the Guangzhou Army and the Jiaozhou Army to retreat together.

Deng Yue saw that Hua'an's analysis was very reasonable, so he readily agreed.

In the evening, the main force of the Jin army was well fed and well-armed, and the armies marched one after another, marching to the north, thirty miles to the north.

Before leaving, Hua An specially ordered his pro-soldier battalion to increase the number of soldiers near the camp by thousands, so as to show the rebels that there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The main force of the Jin army retreated as promised, and the rebel scouts followed and reconnoitred all the way, and truthfully reported the situation to the rebel commander.

According to the report of the scouts, the rebel general affirmed that the Jin army did have more than 100,000 horses, and the Jin army's initiative to retreat also made him feel that the Jin army really had the sincerity to persuade him to surrender.

The generals under his command, at this time, had already two percent, and did not have any hope for the establishment of the Great Nanyue State, they thought that the Great Jin Dynasty was irresistible, and even had the idea of returning to the Great Jin court. But more generals still advocated retreating, and the national pride made them feel that they should not be subservient to foreigners.

"General, the Jin army has retreated thirty miles, this is a good opportunity for our army to retreat, give the order quickly!" A subordinate general urged.

Although the rebel generals were a little reluctant, Xupu City was isolated and difficult to help, and it was difficult to hold on in the face of the superior strength of the Jin army. So, he said bitterly: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

"Yes, General." The generals immediately received the order.

Half an hour later, the rebel army of 20,000 horses and horses assembled at the south gate of Xupu City, with the slow opening of the south gate, the rebels all left Xupu City and marched along the road to Jiude City, which was 300 miles away.

Jiude City is the capital of Jiude County, which is the base camp of the rebels, in the entire territory of Jiude County, almost all the people living in Jiude County are the people of the Nanyue ethnic group, where the rebels have enough mass base, and if the Jin army continues to go south, the logistics supply will become more and more difficult, and the soldiers' water and soil adaptation will become more and more strict, and there will be more and more difficulties to overcome.

The rebels abandoned the city of Xupu and retreated south, an operation entirely under the supervision of the scouts of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had already withdrawn by the time the scouts broke the news to Hua'an, thirty miles away.

However, this is exactly the result that Hua'an wanted, and after learning that the rebels had withdrawn from Xupu City, Hua'an immediately ordered Lei Storm to lead 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army to gallop to Xupu City to prevent the rebels from regretting and returning.

Then, Hua An personally led the main infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army to march south, and Deng Yue led the men and horses of Jiaoguang and Erzhou to follow.
