The 80,000 main army of Yao Xiang's army did not retreat because of the arrival of reinforcements under Wang Wu's command, but killed Wang Wu's army more bravely.

However, with the arrival of reinforcements from Wang Wu's army, the offensive pressure of the army under Yao Xiang became greater and greater, and the results achieved became smaller and smaller.

After pursuing for more than ten miles, Yao Xiang ordered his army to stop the pursuit and return to Fanghe City, preparing to rest and recuperate, and then attack Wang Wu's army.

The defeated Wang Wu army fled for more than 20 miles in a row, and when he saw that Yao Xiang's army did not chase after him, he stopped and rested with confidence.

After the army stopped, Wang Wu immediately ordered his subordinates to count the losses of the army and sent scouts to investigate the movements of the Yao Xiang army to prevent the Yao Xiang army from killing again.

"General, in this battle, our army has suffered heavy losses!" A general said sadly.

"Yes! General, in this battle, at least tens of thousands of soldiers were lost. Another general said sadly.

Wang Wu was naturally very sad about the loss of a large number of soldiers and horses, this qiē was caused by his command mistakes, and he naturally had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Generals, it was the general's command mistake that caused such a big loss to our army, and it was all the general's fault!" Wang Wu blamed himself loudly.

"General, this is not your responsibility alone, and we also have an unshirkable responsibility." Zhang Yu explained.

"Yes! General, we also divide our troops to defend against the enemy, and we also have a responsibility. Wei Tong followed.

Wang Wu waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "The two generals have made great contributions, if it weren't for your 20,000 cavalry suddenly and timely from behind the enemy's back, the general and the 40,000 army under his command would have been wiped out by the main army under Yao Xiang, and the general would have to thank you?" ”

"General. This is what we should do, we only hate that we failed to discover the enemy's conspiracy in time, and failed to stop the partial division under Yao Xiang in time, resulting in the soldiers and horses under the command of the general being surrounded by Yao Xiang's regiments. Zhang Yu said reproachfully.

"General, don't talk about this for the time being, the soldiers and horses under General Li's command have also arrived. The main force of our army has been gathered, and as long as we take a short rest, we can attack the army under Yao Xiang again. Wei Tong said loudly.

At this time, the last partial division under Wang Wu has arrived, and at this point, all the soldiers and horses of Wang Wu's army are here, as long as they take a short rest, they can attack Yao Xiang's army again.

Wang Wu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay." Let the soldiers rest well, and be sure to keep an eye on the soldiers and horses under Yao Xiang's command to prevent them from playing tricks again. ”

"Yes, General." The ministers will answer with a loud voice.

"General, the losses of the army have been counted, and there are more than 20,000 killed, seriously wounded and missing soldiers and horses of our army. Among them, more than ninety percent are newly recruited recruits in our army. "That's when it happened. The general in charge of counting the casualties reported the casualties of the army to Wang Wu.

When Wang Wu heard this, he was taken aback, he originally thought that the loss was only more than 10,000 people. But he didn't expect that the loss of soldiers and horses was as high as 20,000, and almost all of these lost soldiers were the 20,000 recruits under his command who had just expanded, that is. The 20,000 recruits he had worked so hard to expand had almost been wiped out.

Such a big loss also made the generals under Wang Wu's command feel very sad and indignant, and they all said that they would defeat Yao Xiang's army and let out this evil breath.

At this time, there were only 120,000 soldiers and horses left under Wang Wu, and the main army of 80,000 under Yao Xiang was a slight loss.

However, Yao Xiang was not complacent because of this victory, he was still planning the next step of the enemy annihilation action, this time the mobilization of the enemy to divide the troops to resist the enemy's action, failed to completely annihilate the main army under Wang Wu's command, the next time, want to let Wang Wu in the plan, it is not so easy, for this reason, Yao Xiang must think more carefully, in order to find out the countermeasures to deal with Wang Wu's army.

Of course, just when Wang Wu and Yao Xiang were planning how to put each other to death, Hua An and the 30,000 main army under his command had already arrived less than thirty miles away from Fang and Cheng, and hid in a valley.

"Your Majesty, the scout has just sent back the news that the army under General Wang Wu was defeated by Yao Xiang, and the loss was 20,000 horses." Hua An had just set up camp in the valley when the scouts came with the news of Wang Wu's defeat.

When Hua An and his subordinates heard this, they were all shocked, they did not expect that Wang Wu and his more than 100,000 troops would be defeated so quickly, and they also lost 20,000 horses.

"General Wang has an army of 140,000 under his command, and Yao Xiang only has 80,000 horses under his command, how can he be defeated and lose so many soldiers and horses?" Deng Qiang asked puzzled.

"Yes! This is really strange, is the 80,000 army under Yao Xiang really so powerful? Wang San also asked very curiously.

Hua An thought for a while, looked at the scout, and asked, "Why did General Wang Wu lose the battle, and has the reason been clarified?" ”

The scout hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it has been found out that it was Yao Xiang who deceived General Wang Wu and deceived General Wang Wu, so General Wang Wu was defeated." ”

"What kind of fraud did Yao Xiang play, let's talk about it in detail." Hua An hurriedly asked.

When the scout heard the order, he reported the situation to Hua'an in 1510, so that Hua'an understood the whole story.

After listening to the introduction of the scout, Hua An finally understood the whole story, and also understood the fundamental reason for the failure of the army under Wang Wu's command, it turned out that Yao Xiang actually took advantage of the arms of the army under his command, and used a move to attack together, and the use was very in place, so as to defeat the main army under Wang Wu in one fell swoop, if it was not for Zhang Yu and Wei Tong's timely reinforcements, I am afraid that the 40,000 main army under Wang Wu may be annihilated.

"This Yao Xiang is really cunning and abnormal, he actually used such a trick, it seems that this person is really difficult to deal with!" Wang San frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, should our army immediately join up with the army under General Wang, so as to concentrate our forces against Yao Xiang together." Deng Qiang asked.

Hua An thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need, it's better for our army not to show up for the time being." ”

"Your Majesty, why is that? General Wang Wu is not Yao Xiang's opponent at all, more than 100,000 troops are wasted in his hands, in order to prevent the Yanzhou Army from suffering greater losses, Wang Shang should immediately take over the Yanzhou Army, I believe that as long as Wang Shang personally takes over the Yanzhou Army, Yao Xiang will not be the opponent of our army at all. Deng Qiang said loudly.

Obviously, in Deng Qiang's words, there are not only elements of worrying about the fate of the Yanzhou Army, but also elements of patting Hua'an's ass, of course, these are Deng Qiang's heartfelt words, and they are also the truth.

Hua An smiled, and said: "Yao Xiang has won a big victory now, he must despise the Yanzhou Army very much, this is the condition for our army to win, if this king suddenly appears at this time, with the prestige of this king, Yao Xiang will not be frightened, so, he will be extremely cautious, in that case, it will be extremely difficult for our army to achieve victory, therefore, this king must not show up at will, even if our army attacks, we must hang up the titles of your two generals, and must not let Yao Xiang know the existence of this king." ”

Hua'an's plan was naturally to make Yao Xiang underestimate the enemy, so as to launch a fatal blow to Yao Xiang when he was proud of his enemy.

"What the king said is extremely true, but Yao Xiang is scheming, General Wang Wu is not his opponent, if our army does not immediately join up with the soldiers and horses under General Wang Wu, the last general is worried that the Yanzhou army will be defeated again!" Deng Qiang said worriedly.

Hearing this, Hua An pondered for a moment, and said: "Now that the Yao Xiang Legion and our army have just experienced a fierce battle, both sides need time to rest, and there will be no battle for a while and a half, so there is no need to be in such a hurry, this king has just come up with a clever plan to annihilate the Yao Xiang Army." ”

"Your Majesty, what is your plan?" Seeing that Hua An said that there was a clever plan to completely annihilate Yao Xiang's army, Wang San and Deng Qiang hurriedly asked.

Hua'an Zhengse said: "Let the Yanzhou Legion divide 40,000 troops, pretend to attack Qingzhou, and the main force of soldiers and horses will declare war on the Yaoxiang Legion, so that the Yaoxiang Legion will inevitably send troops to fight against our army, and when they are in a head-to-head confrontation, this king will lead the 30,000 troops under your command to kill from the back of the Yaoxiang Legion, so as to attack the Yaoxiang Legion with the Yanzhou Legion, this king believes that under the attack of our army on both sides, the Yaoxiang Legion will be difficult to resist, and suffer heavy losses and collapse, so that The remnants of Yao Xiang's army will flee in the direction of Qingzhou, and the 40,000 partial divisions of the Yanzhou army can block the retreat of Yao Xiang's defeated army in an appropriate position, so that Yao Xiang's army has no way out until it is completely annihilated. ”

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a clever plan! The end will feel that it is completely feasible. Deng Qiang said loudly.

"Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to tell Wang Wu and let him do what he wants." Wang San said softly.

Hua An nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, immediately send someone to send a letter to Wang Wu, tell Wang Wu of the location of our army, and let Wang Wu act according to the plan, there must be no mistakes." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it myself." Wang San answered, turned around and went to prepare the letter.

"Your Majesty, if it is a qiēshun lì, in this battle, our army will definitely be able to annihilate the Yao Xiang Army." After Wang San left, Deng Qiang said confidently.

Hua An waved his hand and said: "There are 80,000 main forces under Yao Xiang's command, and it is very difficult to annihilate them all, but if you hit the Yao Xiang army hard, there is no problem, as long as the Yao Xiang army can be severely damaged in this battle, our army can recover Qingzhou smoothly, so that a big disaster in the heart of this king will be cleared." ”

Obviously, Hua'an is still more sensible, and feels that it is difficult to complete the Yao Xiang Legion with only the more than 100,000 troops under his command, but as long as the Yao Xiang Legion is severely damaged, Yao Xiang will not be able to stay in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou will be able to recover it smoothly.
