Lu Zhifan did not escape from the side wall to the north, but went all the way south to find Turg, he was unwilling to flee back to Liaodong in such a gloomy manner, it was really a failure, and now only Turg's army is the only remaining root of the turnover.

Therefore, he took more than 100 personal soldiers around him to go straight south from the Zhenyu Wei along the route of Turge's burning and looting, but he suddenly found in despair that Yanghewei, located in the southwest of the Zhenyu Acropolis, was like a barrier in front of him, because the city was very well built, and there were many firearms that the Three Guards were good at, both Lu Zhifan and Turg did not take the initiative to attack this castle that was not very important in order to save manpower.

It's just that now that the army is defeated and approached to the south, this castle, which seemed to be minor at the beginning, has suddenly become extremely important. The Ming army guards of Yang Hewei had obviously strengthened the defense of the place. There are Ming army scouts everywhere, and if they are not careful, they will be killed.

What should he do? Is it a desire to go south, or to return to Liaodong? This question only turned in his mind for a while, Lu Zhifan did not hesitate to choose the former, after all, choosing the latter is equivalent to choosing failure, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a corporal, but the defeated are not pitiful, this is a court that belongs to the strong, the weak will be destined to be eliminated by the overall situation, but he never thought that he actually became a shameful loser.

"Sir, the Ming army rangers were found in front ......"

Lu Zhifan was shocked, this is not a joke, now that the army has been lost, he is no longer the same as a day ago.

"Quick, get out of there!"

Lu Zhifan pointed to the dense forest not far away, where there was a dense forest, and there were bushes everywhere below, and it was almost impossible for the war horse to move an inch when it reached it, and it was necessary to manually open a way with a saber.

"Sir, if we continue like this, we will have to expose our whereabouts sooner or later, and the scouts of the Ming army will definitely find traces of our cutting of bushes."

After Lu Zhifan calmed down, he suddenly realized that the reality was as the soldier said, but if not, could there be a second way? Two words popped up in my head.

"Kill the horse!"

At the same time as he thought of it, these two words also squeezed out of Lu Zhifan's mouth. The soldiers were stunned by Lu Zhifan's words, the war horse is their treasure, and it is the last reliance used to escape, if the war horse is killed, then there will be no way to retreat from now on.

Lu Zhifan hesitated when he saw everyone, and his heart moved, and he actually told the story for everyone in this dangerous environment.

"There is an allusion to the Han people, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

The soldiers were all first-class elites, and when they saw the defeat of the army against Lu Zhifan, they had a lot of whispers in their hearts, but when they heard what Han allusions he was going to tell, they all leaned forward and pricked up their ears to listen to what he was going to say.

The Qing court highly respected a copy of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of the Han people, up to the emperor Taiji Dolgon and other powerful people, and some minor officials in the summer solstice could tell a few jokes, and even many of their strategies for using troops came from this book. This is a strange phenomenon, the Qing court is extremely contemptuous of the Ming Dynasty from the emperor to the courtiers, but the history of their ancestors is quite high, and many allusions from the past and present are promoted as some vivid teaching materials.

Justice is for this reason, when these pro-soldiers heard that Lu Zhifan was going to tell an allusion, they all forgot about the danger outside the dense forest, and gathered together and waited intently for Mr. Lu to speak.

"There is a big hero among the Han people, named Xiang Yu!"

"Sir, is this Xiang Yu a great hero in the Three Kingdoms?"

Someone hurriedly interrupted it, and asked with a strong sense of curiosity. In their opinion, all the heroes in the world are from the Three Kingdoms, which is simply natural and logical. Lu Zhifan looked at the soldier who wanted him to ask a question, and shook his head with a smile.

"Definitely! Xiang Yu is known as the overlord of Western Chu and is the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu State......"

"Who is Xiang Yan? What earth-shattering things have his grandchildren done? How come I've never heard of it? Compared with Liu Guanzhang, who is more powerful? ”

Lu Zhifan's heart was full of disdain, what is Liu Guanzhang, how can he be compared with Xiang Yu, how could that ancient saying spread in vain.

"Although Chu is dead, Qin will be Chu! Xiang Yu is the best among the Chu people! ”

The vast majority of his Manchu soldiers were illiterate, and occasionally a semi-literate could be called an intellectual, but few people had heard of Xiang Yu. Finally, a person slapped his thigh, as if he suddenly realized, and asked excitedly: "I heard that there was a Great Qin before the Han Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Emperor Fu Jian was very good at martial arts, but what are you talking about is the hero who destroyed this Emperor Fu Jian?" ”

Lu Zhifan looked disapproving, but he was unwilling to attack them, so he had to stop selling Guanzi.

"Speaking of Xiang Yu, you don't know, but the Han Dynasty should have heard of it, right?"

"Well, the Three Kingdoms is the end of the Han Dynasty, and the ethnic names of the Han people in the Southern Barbarians are derived from here, which is the most remarkable era in the history of the Southern Barbarians!"

Fortunately, this period of history of the Three Kingdoms belongs to the last years of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers finally did not have Zhang Guan Li Dai.

"The founder of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang, was trembling under this feather. And before the Han Dynasty, there was a strong and short-lived dynasty, and it was also the first dynasty that completed the unification of China, the Qin Dynasty, which perished at the hands of this person! ”

"The first time to unify China? It's amazing......"

"In this way, this Xiang Yu is really a hero, I don't know what position he can rank in the Three Kingdoms compared with the Five Tiger Generals......"

Lu Zhifan really despised these illiterate people to the extreme, and the miscellaneous scripts that could not be put on the table were actually regarded as heavenly books by these monkeys, and they were unwilling to explain more about them, but went straight to the topic.

"Xiang Yu was outnumbered when he destroyed Qin, and on the eve of a major war, he smashed pots and bowls and destroyed warships after crossing the river......"

Someone immediately exclaimed:

"This, isn't this a way out?"

Lu Zhifan nodded, "Exactly, this battle is a decisive battle to destroy Qin, Xiang Yu fights more with less, destroys the strong with weak, and cuts off the back road for his subordinates to escape by luck, the army fights to the death, and finally succeeds in the first battle, which will last through the ages!" ”

Finally, someone suddenly realized.

"Sir, this is following the example of the ancients, could it be that we will also have a shipwreck?"

Lu Zhifan nodded happily, and finally felt that these people were still teachable.

Whether these Manchus recognized the story or not, no one stopped the killing of the horses, and many people resolutely killed their horses one by one after a while of reluctance, and then buried them hastily in the forest.

Obviously, Xiang Yu's story inspired the morale of these soldiers, but Lu Zhifan was not as optimistic as them, and the first element of this ruin was that Turg did not give up his trust in him because of this defeat. As long as he can still have enough influence on Turg's army, he can command the army to sweep through Shanxi, and even cross the Yellow River to Henan and Shandong, so that the Ming Dynasty knows how powerful they are.

After Li Xin sent Gao Keng away, he led the army all the way to the south, and when he passed through the town guards, he saw that the place where he started had almost become a ruin, and secretly vowed to prevent this kind of thing from being broken by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The army Yu Yang and Wei were well supplied, and the next task was to clear the Turg army that was still wandering on the front line of the outer three passes. However, Li Xin learned a news at this time, and found hundreds of corpses of war horses that had just been killed and hastily buried in the dense forest east of Yanghewei, and it was judged that these war horses were all from Liaodong, which was obviously caused by a Qing army.

This incident is by no means as simple as killing a horse, and his intuition tells Li Xin that this must have something to do with Lu Zhifan, but for a while, he can't think of any unexpected major events behind this. Obviously, Lu Jiu was also very interested in this, and took the initiative to ask Li Xin for help, preparing to investigate.

Yang Hewei is the only castle that is still intact within the side wall of Sanwei, and the safety of this place must not be relaxed, so it is good for Lu Jiu to lead a cavalry to find out.

"Give you a day's work, be sure to find out the movements of the Qing soldiers who killed the horses!"

Not long after Lu Jiu left, another scout sent news that last night someone had vaguely found that there was a group of more than 100 foot soldiers heading south, and the rangers who thought it was a Tartar didn't take it seriously, but now they found hundreds of killed war horses and felt unusual.

War horses are expensive strategic materials in this era, and hundreds of war horses are collectively slaughtered, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

At this time, Li Xin was almost certain that this Lu Zhifan did not flee back to Liaodong, but knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and preferred to go to the tiger mountains. He admired Lu Zhifan's courage, but he was more infinitely sorry, and a sentence was always circling around his mouth, so why should he be a thief!

If Lu Zhifan did not flee but went south, Li Xin suddenly realized that this pawn would never do things arbitrarily for no reason, then he must have gone south to find Turg's army, and then lead this lone army to a sweeping battle in Shanxi!

Or the Holocaust!

Li Xin shuddered, in the case of a failed military battle, how could he retaliate against the Ming army as much as possible? The slaughter of the common people weakened the strength foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so it naturally became the best choice. As soon as he thought of this, the little bit of goodwill that Li Xin still had for Lu Zhifan disappeared.

He couldn't figure out how a scholar who had been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child would have no moral burden at all once he had cast a tartar? Is it true that only personal success or failure is the most important thing in their hearts?

Li Xin's eyes were full of fierce light, a vicious Lu Zhifan had been born, he was no longer the Lu Dian Shi who fought side by side with him in Gaoyang City, how could he be worthy of the thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians who were killed and injured in this war if he didn't kill this person?
