Su Zhi trembled, knelt down in front of Yi Feng with a thud, and said sadly: "Su Zhi kneels down and asks the marshal to uphold justice for the Ahui clan and avenge the blood hatred of my dead clansmen?" ”

In this Tongluo invasion, more than 10,000 people died, especially the tens of thousands of people who had just died in front of him, which made him hate the Tongluo people to the core. Although the tens of thousands of clansmen who were still lying in a pool of blood at this time died under the bows and arrows of the Sui people, Su Zhi would not put the hatred of the death of the clansmen on the heads of the Sui people, and he shot all the hatred on the Tongluo people. The Ahui clan was also a large clan, with a large number of 100,000 tribes and thousands of warriors. But this time with the invasion of Tongluo, in a short period of time, the Ahui clan has lost more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers have also discounted more than 1,000 people, and the strength of the entire Ahui clan has been greatly damaged. In their heyday, the Ahui clan and a partial division of the Luo clan could not defeat it, and now that they have lost their troops, it is even more difficult for them to find revenge and blood hatred against the Tongluo people.

After hearing Yi Feng's idea that he didn't intend to let the Tongluo people retreat easily, Su Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of hope. The chance of Ah Hui finding revenge on the Tongluo people is slim, but the Sui people can.

Looking at Su Zhi who was kneeling on the ground, Yi Feng stretched out his hand to help him.

"The Turks are too rampant, the Xi people have already belonged to our dynasty, and they are the Tibetan family of the Great Sui, and the Turks are so blatantly invading the Xi realm and capturing and killing the Xi people, this is not taking my Great Sui in their eyes. Since the Tiele people dare to invade, then as the general of the Great Sui Frontier, he has the responsibility to have you uphold justice and justice, and they will never be allowed to be so rampant and presumptuous. ”

Su Zhi was overjoyed. He knelt down and fell to the ground again, and said respectfully: "The Heavenly Empire upholds justice and justice for my Tibetan tribes, and Su Zhi is grateful. Since then, my Ahui clan is only the head of the Great Sui horse, and the tribe is sent by the Great Sui court and Yi Shuai, and the sword mountain is in the sea of fire, and he dare not say goodbye to death. ”

These words are straightforward and sincere. Yi Feng was also quite happy when he heard this, after this time. After the Ahui clan suffered heavy losses, and after losing nearly half of its soldiers, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult. One way or another. The Ah Hui clan could only wholeheartedly fall to the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains and ask for refuge.

Yi Feng smiled, Su Zhi's statement was beneficial to the imperial court, but it also directly benefited Huaihuang. Although the territory of Suzhi was not directly connected to the dam before. But it's just the territory of one tribe. Not far away, after the Su branch was damaged this time and completely fell to the Sui Dynasty, for the Huaihuang army on the Sui and Xi borders, it was equivalent to having a reliable ally and buffer zone in the northeast. Even as long as it works well, the Ah Hui clan can even become a big help to Huaihuang.

"Tong Jin is loyal to the imperial court, and Ben Shuai naturally has to uphold justice for the Ahui clan."

However, although Yi Feng and Su Zhi didn't want to let go of the Tongluo people, there were almost nine thousand Tongluo people on the opposite side at the moment. And almost all of them are cavalry, and everyone has horses. Although in the former. The Tongluo people suffered a lot of losses in front of the Sui army's trench arrow array, and carelessly, they successively left more than 1,000 corpses in front of the formation. However, if the Tongluo people plan to retreat, it is not easy for the Huaihuang army to keep them.

As soon as it gets dark, if the Tongluo people take advantage of the darkness to withdraw their troops, the Huaihuang army will have no way to leave them.

"We can't let them run away like that."

"But if they want to leave, we can't keep them." Wei Zheng frowned. With a wave of his hand, several battalion staff officers carried in a newly made sand table near Songshan. The sand table was made temporarily, and it was a little simple, but it basically drew the mountains and rivers near Songshan, and this three-dimensional sand table was much more intuitive than the original one, and there were many mistakes. It turns out that although the map drawn on the sheepskin also depicts mountains and rivers, there is no scale at all, and a mountain accounts for almost two-thirds of the map. On the sand table, although it is not very accurate, at least it is roughly proportional.

With Songshan as the center, the four rivers of Yazi River, Luoma River, She River and Yinliang River originate from the mountainous area in the northwestern part of Songshan from west to east, and finally flow to the east side of Songshan Mountain. The center of this area is the Songshan Mountains, the west of the mountains is crisscrossed by river valleys and rivers, and the east is the Raole River Plain, and the current confrontation between the Huaihuang army and the Tongluo army is in the Shehe River valley on the west side of Songshan.

She River is a river of only more than 200 miles, the widest part is only more than 100 steps, and the river is extremely shallow, and it is covered with thick ice in winter. At present, whether it is the Huaihuang Army or the Tongluo Army, they are actually standing on the thick ice surface of the Shehe River.

As a consultant and military officer, Wei Zheng pointed to Shehechuan and said to Yi Feng, Su Zhi and others, "We are now guarding the valley mouth on the west side of Shehechuan, and the Tongluo people will certainly not be able to break through." However, once they decided to withdraw their troops, they only had to retreat eastward along the original road of the river valley, but they could only go out of the river from the mouth of the east valley of the Shehe River for dozens of miles. ”

Outside of the mouth of the Higashi Valley of the Shehe River, there is already an open plain area on the east side of Matsuyama Mountain, and the two valleys of the Duck River and the Lokuma River to the north of the Shehe River, and the mouth of the Dekawa Valley to the east are also here. As soon as the Tongluo cavalry left the Shehe River, they could immediately enter the Luoma River, and then follow the already frozen Luoma River, all the way to the northwest, and when they got out of the Luoma River, they could quickly return north to Mobei.

Although the Shehe River is a river valley, it is not a narrow valley of the type of sky. Basically, the Shehe River valley is several miles wide, and this terrain makes it possible for the Tongluo cavalry to retreat eastward along the river valley although the retreat route has been fixed, but the openness of the valley, especially the Tongluo people can directly step on the flat ice surface of the Shehe River to retreat quickly.

In such a valley several miles wide, it is very dangerous for the Huaihuang army to pursue them. The strength of the Tongluo people still exists, and they are all cavalry, if the Huaihuang army takes the initiative to abandon the camp to fight, even if the number is a little larger, it may not be able to beat the Tongluo cavalry. After all, in the wide and flat valley, the cavalry of Tongluo was very suitable for cavalry combat.

"Maybe the Tielers want us to pursue them." Wei Zheng said. He was worried that Yi Feng would be emotional and rashly pursue, and there would be a possibility that he would be overturned by the Tiele people.

Yi Feng carefully studied the sand table. Wei Zheng was right, it was very risky to go out of the camp to pursue. And even if you go out of the camp to chase. Not only is there a possibility that the Tieler people will fight back, but if the Tiele people really want to run, it will be difficult for them to stay. In fact, the Shehe River and the Lok Ma River are two parallel rivers, and the two valleys are not far apart, if you count the straight line distance, maybe the two river valleys are only about 20 miles apart. The Tongluo people were to retreat, and they went out of the valley east from the Shehe. Then entering the Lok Ma River, in fact, it is equivalent to turning west. The Tongluo people went around in a circle and ran for more than 100 miles. That is, twenty miles north of its present location. However, in this kind of mountainous area, you can only walk according to the various river valleys, and many valleys seem to be parallel to each other, but they are separated by high mountains and dangerous peaks. It is simply impossible to cross directly.

"Su Zhi is a pound. From us, can we directly cross the mountain range between the Shehe River and the Lok Ma River? Yi Feng asked, pointing to the dozens of miles of mountains between the two rivers.

Su Zhi was very familiar with the terrain near Songshan, and was quite surprised when he saw the sand table of the Sui people. Judging from this sand table, the Shehe River and the Luoma River are really close, no wonder Yi Feng asked like that. It was easy for him to think of Yi Feng's words, if there was really a shortcut between the two rivers, the Tongluo people would run more than a hundred miles, but the Huaihuang army did not need to run along the river. Directly across twenty or thirty miles, you can immediately stop in front of the Tongluo.

However, for Yi Feng's expectation, Su Zhi finally shook his head.

"Quite a few trails in the mountains. But they are only animal paths, which hunters can walk when hunting, but they are not suitable for large armies. Su Zhi replied.

That kind of beast path is of little significance to a large army. Although Yi Feng's purpose was to take a shortcut to the front of the Tongluo army to block the road. But people can cross such a path, but it is difficult to pass the logistical baggage. Not to mention that the chariot could not pass, and even the armor of the soldiers was difficult to bring over. What's the point if it's just an empty mountain over the past? And it's winter now, and the snow is heavy enough to cover the mountains, so even if you travel lightly, you may not be able to succeed.

Yi Feng frowned, if he could only bite the Tongluo people in the back, this battle would not be easy to fight. Yi Feng was reluctant to follow the Tongluo people in hot pursuit, and he was more hopeful that he could go around to the front of the Tongluo people and use the more skilled fortification positions of the Huaihuang army to block the Tiele people.

"Yi Shuai wants to go around to the front of the Tiele people?" Su Zhi asked.

"Although the Tongluo people have lost more than 1,000 horsemen, their strength is still not to be underestimated, if we pursue them in the rear, it will be difficult to keep them, and if they turn around and fight back, there will be a lot of pressure on us. However, if we can go around to the front, relying on the terrain of the river valley in the Songshan area, we will be able to fight a blocking positional battle with the Tongluo people and give full play to the advantages of our army. Yi Feng nodded.

Su Zhi pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, I don't think it's all out of chance. As he spoke, Su Zhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table. Over here. ”

The place to which Suzhi is referring is a valley to the south of the Shehe River, which is also a parallel valley, and the two valleys are about thirty miles apart.

"This is the Monkey Head River, there is a dry river in the valley, only in spring and summer there is a river, in autumn and winter when the drought is broken, unlike the Shehe River and the Luoma River are long flowing waters. The east side of this valley leads directly to the Songshan tent, but there are many forks in the west, connecting many river valleys, one of which is connected to the current Shehe River. From our present position, we traveled twenty miles to the west, and then from there the fork turned and went south twenty miles, and we arrived at the Monkey Head River. A hundred miles further to the east, it will be out of the river. ”

With Su Zhi's guidance, Yi Feng also understood what Su Zhi meant. Out of the Monkey Head River, it is the Lok Ma River, and here about forty miles up the river, it is the confluence of the East River mouth of the Lok Ma River and the She River, and here is also the East River Mouth of the She River and the Lok Ma River. Yi Feng wanted to take a shortcut to Luomachuan to intercept the Tongluo people, but if he went south, he could take a detour to block the Donggukou of Shehechuan.

However, there is still a problem here, the current location of the Tongluo people is only seventy or eighty miles away from the mouth of the Dongchuan Valley of the Shehe River, and if the Huaihuang army wants to make a detour to block the mouth of the East Valley of the Shehe River, it has to go around a circle, almost one hundred and eighty miles before and after. Counting, you have to run a hundred miles more than the Tongluo people.

Although there was a journey of one hundred and eighty miles, Yi Feng had a smile on his face at this time, and he turned his head to look at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng stared at this one hundred and eighty-mile route, pondered for a long time, and smashed his last fist into the palm of his left hand, and said loudly: "I think it's okay!" ”
