As soon as Xiao Ji heard that Gongsun Du had come to his senses and summoned himself back to the city, he knew that something was wrong. The master and the slave each have their own ghosts, and Gongsun Du has a plan to throw it away after using it, and he also knows this about Yuantu - so he will take advantage of Gongsun Du's breath to spread false news first, if Xun leads the army to come, so as to escape for his life in chaos.

If Gongsun Du has been sick and unconscious, he may have a glimmer of life, if he is not in Xiangping City when Gongsun Du is breathing, then the certainty of survival is even greater. But finally took advantage of the situation, followed Gongsun Mo to leave Xiangping, but at this critical juncture, Gongsun Du woke up and told him to go back, then don't ask, first of all, I can't believe myself, and secondly, the probability of more than fifty percent is to go back and kill my head.

Xiao Ji was supposed to disobey or delay, but seeing that he was carrying more than a dozen elder soldiers, and he was in the Liaodong Army, he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot if he showed a little indifference. Therefore, he had to pretend to be happy: "The lord is awake?!" While putting on the words of the envoy, he straightened his bags, took only two retinues, and rode away from the camp on horseback.

It's a pity that this messenger is just acting on orders, and he doesn't know much about Gongsun Du's waking up, and he still can't ask anything after trying to do so for a long time. Seeing that the group had crossed the Xiaoliao River, and the road ahead was smooth, but it could go straight to the city of Xiangping, Xiao Yuan Tuxin said that if I didn't want to go wrong, I would die...... Let's take the plunge!

But before he could take the risk, he had to make a final struggle. So he looked back and forth, there were no pedestrians, looked left and right, all of them were trees, and immediately stopped his mount, with a wry smile on his face: "It's okay." ”

The messenger hurriedly asked Mr. Xiao, why did you stop and not leave? What do you mean by "maybe"? Xiao Ji sneered: "Yang Gong has been jealous of me for a long time, so you and others come to trick me." Wanting to take my life. Xiangping is in front. There was no one around. Isn't this the time for you to do it? I am desperate now, swords and ropes, only what you and others order. ”

The messenger hurriedly explained, saying that you are thinking too much, we are indeed sent to summon you by the order of the state pastor, and it has nothing to do with Yang Beijia. Xiao Ji took the opportunity to ask: "Could it be that the prince is also confused by Yangyi?" How to command you, etc., can be prepared. And the messenger said. Childe said that the state pastor has woken up and wants to see the sir, so he sent us to summon you, but if Yun refuses to return, he can be bound.

In fact, Gongsun Du's order was "If you refuse to return, you can bind it, and you can kill it", but Gongsun Kang has long been filled with ecstasy soup by Xiao Ji - the thick legs of the lord should be ba, and the thick legs of the son should be ba, which is a long-term plan. This point is very clear, otherwise the party would not have been judged and matched that day. Supporting Yuan Shang - he didn't have the intention of killing him at all, so he swallowed the last half of his father's words, and ordered the messenger to say that if Xiao Ji refused to come back, you would tie him back, without mentioning the murderous.

When Xiao Ji heard this, his mind was slightly settled, so he said to the messenger: "Sure enough, the lord has woken up and summoned Yu Ji, then Ji's army is in the dust, and it is difficult to meet him." Let the men return to the house first and bring clean clothes. The messenger did not doubt him, so he allowed one of his attendants to fight his horse and go first.

As a result, the group arrived outside the gate of Xiangping City, and suddenly dozens of big men rushed out of the field, each holding a sharp blade, and cutting people when they saw them. The messengers were caught off guard and were killed in an instant, and these people were left without the help of the Emperor - it turned out that they were all dead soldiers who had been recruited by the Emperor in advance, and his retinue entered the city first, not to get clean clothes, but to gather men and carry out the pre-designed rescue plan.

So everyone asked, "Where are we going?" Xiao Ji raised his whip and pointed: "Go north to join the Youzhou army!" At this time, he was calm and calm on the surface, but in fact, he was also nervous in his heart, he was afraid that Gongsun Mo would withdraw his troops safely, and the cronies he sent to contact Shixun had not been able to bring the Youzhou army, so the whole plan would be in vain, and he would have to think about it again.

He had previously pretended to plan for Gongsun Mo, counted the time, and said that we still had two days to try to attack the Liao Tunnel City, and then retreat, and Shi Xun would definitely not be able to come back - but the premise was that it was Xun who received the news that the Liaodong Army was dispatched after the soldiers Chen Liao Tunnel, and he had to rely on the messenger sent by Guo Huai to ask for help; In fact, the army was not far from Xiangping, and Gongsun Mo had just made up his mind to attack the Liao Tunnel, and he passed on the news to Yuantu. As long as Xun returns immediately after the letter, then he will be able to kill the generals back within two days of the siege, and then the Liaodong Army will be sandwiched between the big and small Liaoshui and the Liaodong Tunnel City, even if the forces of the two sides are equal, Youzhou will also have a great chance of winning, and if he mediates from it, he will overthrow his division!

As long as the 20,000 main forces of Liaodong are defeated, no matter how strong the defense of Xiangping City is, but the number of garrisons is insufficient, is there still a reason why it will not be broken in a short time?

Xiao Ji thought it well, but he didn't expect Guo Huai to come to the camp in the middle of the night, which scared Gongsun Mo, and even if he wanted to retreat. Whether you want to retreat directly to the front line of Xiangping and Shoushan, or turn north, leave the narrow area between the big and small Liaoshui, and set up camp to block the way back to Shixun, this battle will become much more difficult to fight. Originally, Xiao Ji wanted to make a temporary plot to stumble Gongsun Mo for another day or two, but unexpectedly, Xiangping City sent an envoy at this time to summon him back. Therefore, Xiao Yuan Tuguang pondered his own life and death, and no longer had the heart - nor time - to deceive Gongsun Mo.

He only took care of Gongsun Mo before leaving: "The enemy general is brave and brave, and he is afraid that he will chase after him, although the general is determined to withdraw his troops, please be cautious and do not take advantage of him." "If you make a "hula" sound, turn around and run, then I don't have any tricks at all, but if you are cautious, stay behind the soldiers and refuse, and slowly retreat, you can buy a little precious time for the return of Shixun.

But that's actually not too long, it's better than nothing. Therefore, before Ji Ji got rid of his shackles, he had to hurry up to find Shixun, plan for it, and set up another strategy to cover the main force of Liaodong. This person thinks highly of himself, thinking that if Xun does not have his own assistance, it may be difficult to succeed, in fact, if it is about political disputes, he is second to none in the Yuan camp, and only Guan Jing Guan Shiqi can fight against him under Xun, and when it comes to strategizing and winning thousands of miles, Zhuge Liang, Guo Huai and even Yan Rou at this time are not worse than him Xiao Yuantu.

So when the news reached Shixun's army that day, Shixun urgently summoned the group to discuss, and Yan Rou asked, "Is the Yuantu credible?" Yes Xun was also a little vague about this, but Zhuge Liang stood up and replied: "Previously, Xiao Yuantu sent a message, saying that Gongsun Du was dead, and asked me to raise troops. Now entering its state, although it is not convinced, but if Gongsun Du is still able to govern, Liaodong Yu I will not be so stretched. If this is true, I can cover the main force of Liaodong, and it will be broken; If this letter is false, it is just a fatigue for me. Weigh the weight, believe it. ”

Even if the information from the Chronicles is false, how much damage will it do to us? If the information is true, but the battle can be decided—why don't we believe him?

After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Yan Rou immediately set up a division and returned to the division, striving to catch up and defeat Gongsun Mo's department between the big and small Liaoshui. Zhuge Liang said: "In order to plan everything, you can make other troops rush across Xiaoliaoshui and enter the west of Xiangping, so as to prevent Gongsun Mo from fleeing first when he hears the alarm." ”

So Shi Xun sent Yu Ban to lead more than 1,000 cavalry to the south in advance, in order to search for and intercept the Gongsun Mo Division, and personally commanded the main force, doubling the road and traveling, passing through Liaoyang and going down to the Liao Tunnel.

If Gongsun Mo really tried to attack the Liao Tunnel for two days, he would definitely be arrested by Shi Xun. It's just that Gongsun Mo was frightened by Guo Huai's night camp, and immediately ordered the team to stay to set up police, and the main force slowly retreated, and crossed Xiaoliaoshui east early. According to his plan, he first got rid of the narrow terrain between the large and small Liaoshui, and then went north along the east bank of the small Liaoshui to the vicinity of Liaoyang to watch the scenery again. If Xun hadn't come back in time, then he would cross Xiaoliaoshui again, try to capture Liaoyang City, and completely block the Youzhou army in Xuansu County; If Xun had already passed Liaoyang, he would go around with him across the small Liaoshui, and when he ran out of food and retreated, he would chase and kill him.

Although this may not be able to kill and injure the main force of the Youzhou Army, it can at least ensure that his future is safe.

But as soon as he crossed the Xiaoliao River, a sentinel called the police. Gongsun Mo was shocked: "Why did Xun come so fast?!" "If you ask carefully, the enemy who dares to love is not from the north, but from the south, with fur felt hats and fast horses and strong bows, they are all Karasuma!

It turned out that Guo Huai was guarding the Liao Tunnel, on the one hand, he was worried that Liaodong would take advantage of the opportunity of his army to enter Xuansu to attack the city, and at the same time, he hoped that the other party would attack, so he could recall the main force and destroy it on both sides of the Liaoshui River. This matter is a bit contradictory, it is not ordinary to defend the Liao Tunnel without scaring the enemy away. Guo Boji had an ingenious idea, before the Liaodong soldiers came, he sent people in the name of Shixun to requisition the Liaodong subject country Karasuma, and asked the king of Qiao, Su Muyan, to send a guerrilla army to cross the Liaoshui from the downstream, and once again ravaged Xinchang, Anshi and other counties, if he found that the main force of the Liaodong Army was advancing westward, he would find an opportunity to harass and tie it.

Waiting for Gongsun Mo to retreat, Guo Huai immediately opened the city to kill, chased fiercely from behind, but was stopped by the soldiers and horses left by Gongsun Mo behind the palace, a fierce battle, each with injuries, had to collect troops back to the city. However, because of Guo Huai's pre-arrangement, Gongsun Mo was embellished by thousands of Karasuma soldiers from Liaodong's vassal states. These Karasuma rode fast horses, coming and going like the wind, and did not confront them head-on, but they often protruded from the flanks, killing and wounding the Liaodong soldiers on the outside of the marching array with arrows. Gongsun Mo sent a horse to chase him, and he retreated, and only then did he want to do it again, and he killed again.

There was no choice but to change the marching array to an enemy array, staggered several formations, and slowly retreated.

Gongsun Mo knew very well in his heart that this was clearly to tie up our army, so as to wait for the main force of Shixun to return--That's it, I won't go to Liaoyang, so I'll go all the way east and return to Xiangping. No matter how slow he goes, the time calculated according to the Ji Ji will be enough to safely retreat to Xiangping City or the Shoushan position.

Therefore, it does not speed up, only takes safety as the first priority, and staggers east. As mentioned earlier, the timetable calculated for him by Xiao Ji was wrong at all, so before the army reached the foot of Shoushan Mountain, it was the first to encounter the forbidden cavalry. This time, the harassment on one side turned into harassment on both wings, and Gongsun Mo was forced to set up camp for defense, intending to wait until it was dark, and then retreat to the foot of Shoushan in the dark, and then the whole army would go up the mountain after dawn, and it would be safe.

But in the middle of the night, he was running towards Shoushan, and the main force of Shixun also caught up from the west...... (To be continued......)
