The army has easily occupied Jiuyuan, if he is interested, Xu Shu is sure that he can easily occupy it all the way, Wuyuan City, Chengyi City, and a long list.

However, at this time, even Ma Chao, who had the most high-spirited fighting spirit, realized this, and it was meaningless not to defeat Tuoba Xianbei's iron cavalry and just occupy these empty cities.

There are not many people here where the army is going, but it is still one person with one attitude.

Ma Chaoli led the army out of the city, looking for a decisive battle of Tuoba Xianbei Iron Cavalry, just like defeating the head of the leader in a battle, a battle is decided!

Dian Wei's duty is still to protect Xu Shu's safety, even if it is a big battle, he can't charge ahead, unless the big war is so tragic that even Xu Shu's Chinese army has to go into battle, he can't participate in the war, so he has always been too lazy to hurt his brain about it.

Xu Huang insisted on defending the city, and the harsh winter was coming, so he didn't believe that Tuoba Xianbei could spend the winter outside the city like this.

Hu Ququan was silent this time, but there was a little worry on his face.

Xu Shu set his eyes on Zhang Liao, in terms of age, he is about the same as Xu Huang, but because he was born in Yanmen, at the beginning of the fight, he was entrusted by Lu Bu with the important task of guarding Yanmen, and he dealt with Xianbei people the most, and it can also be said that among the generals under Lu Bu, one of the generals who knew Xianbei the most.

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, and replied slowly: "The Xianbei departments have always looked down on the Han army, from the Xianbei elite cavalry to this day, they still refuse to use stirrups, you can get a glimpse, Budugen, Fu Luohan, and Kuitou, all of them are self-confident and proud, and lead the elite cavalry to fight against our army, and died under the crossbow. But this time, Tuoba Xianbei's actions have shown that they have changed......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao raised his head and said to Xu Shu with concern: "...... Therefore, his subordinates thought that this time against Tuoba Lin, our army had to be extremely cautious. ”

Ma Chao, Xu Huang. Huququan, all looked at Zhang Liao, they were all frowning slightly, because Zhang Liao did not say what he thought to do, but only reminded him to be careful of Tuoba Xianbei's changes.

Ma Chao couldn't help it after all, and asked, "Brother Wenyuan, how should the army advance and retreat now?" ”

"Retreat!"

Zhang Liao spit out a word, and his answer was very concise and resolute.

"Retreat?" Ma Chao was a little puzzled. Big frown. Follow-up. "Withdrawing from the army at this time, isn't it all about losing all your previous achievements, and when you retreat, isn't it more likely to be attacked by Xianbei cavalry?"

Zhang Liao shook his head. He replied: "Tuoba neighbor led the elite cavalry to the clouds, in order to get a glimpse of the reality of our army's crossbows, and the leader was defeated, even if he boasted that Tuoba Xianbei's elite cavalry was stronger than the leader, he must have claimed that he could not please in front of our army's crossbows, so he gave up all the cities and let our army occupy them." And to disperse the Tuoba Xianbei elite cavalry is to adopt the common wolf pack tactics on the grassland, give up a head-on confrontation with our army, and only wait for an opportunity around our army, once our army shows a flaw. The wolves will bare their fangs and swarm. Therefore, before our army fails to find the tactics of restraining Tuoba Xianbei wolves in one fell swoop, it is the best policy to retreat and protect itself. ”

"Good!" Xu Shu did not remain silent any longer, nodded approvingly, "What Wen Yuan said is very true, Tuobalin's move is tantamount to luring our army to go deeper, and then use the elite cavalry to serve and harass, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't, you will retreat. Since the war cannot be won, even if it occupies the cities of Jiuyuan, it is only harmful to increase the pressure on the transportation of grain, grass and baggage in vain. ”

"But where to retreat? Xianyang? In the cloud? ”

It was Huququan who asked the question, and it could be seen that although he had been silent, in his heart, he agreed with Zhang Liao and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu pointed his finger at the map, dotted twice, and said, "Just retreat here, and here!" ”

"Manber, Keiling?"

Ma Chao exclaimed in surprise, his mouth open, and he couldn't close it halfway.

Xu Huang, Hu Ququan, the same, even Zhang Liao, who advocated the retreat, was also full of surprise.

The army was sent from three places in Manbai, Jiling and Yunzhong, and now it retreated to Manbo and Jiling as soon as it retreated, which means that not only the cities of Jiuyuan have been abandoned, but also the cities in the clouds.

Xu Shu waited for everyone to come back to their senses from their surprise one after another, nodded and emphasized: "Exactly, return to the three cities of Manbo, Jiling and Shanan." Tuoba neighbors can even give up the cities of Jiuyuan completely, which shows that in this campaign, the gains and losses of the city are insignificant, and the important thing is to be able to defeat and eliminate Tuoba Xianbei Jingqi. In this case, what is the benefit of guarding a cloud city, it is better to retreat to Manbo and Jiling, and Meiji is in a three-legged situation, each other is horns, and they are close to each other, so there is no need to worry about the lack of food and grass, and they are not afraid of the attack of Tuoba Xianbei Jingqi. ”

Among the crowd, it was Zhang Liao who first understood Xu Shu's intentions, and nodded frequently there, and after a while, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, and Huququan also understood it, and there was no objection.

The general direction is determined, and all that remains is the details of the retreat, under the watchful eye of Tuoba Xianbei Jingcai, how to ensure that there will be no mistakes left and let Tuoba Neighbors take advantage of the false army to attack, it needs to be discussed and determined repeatedly.

After two days of preparation, the army came out in full gear, withdrew from Jiuyuan City, arrived at Chouyangsai, and then divided into two, Xu Huang led a large army all the way, went south back to Manbai, Xu Shu led a large army, followed Xianyang, returned to Yunzhong, and then withdrew to the two cities of Jiling and Shanan after collecting the defenders stationed in the cities of Yunzhong County.

The two armies were mixed in horsemanship, with the powerful deterrence of crossbows, and Tuoba Neighbor led Xianbei elite cavalry, although they were divided into several teams, and they had been following behind the two armies not far or near, but they had not been able to find the fighters.

When the messenger rushed back to Chang'an urgently, and reported the latest battle situation to the cavalry general Lu Bu in detail, the north wind was already quite strong and cold, and Chang'an was like this, not to mention Wuyuan and Yunzhong.

In the inner study, a pot of charcoal fire has been placed to dispel the cold, and only Lu Bu and Jia Xu are discussing, and it is the war to recover the Hetao.

Jia Xu carefully read Xu Shu's secret letter, and then read it carefully from beginning to end to confirm that there was nothing missing, and then handed it back to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was very patient, and only then did he smile and say, "I never thought that Tuoba Lin, an old guy, would have such a set!" ”

Jia Xu echoed and smiled: "That dare is that Tuoba Lin is Tuoba Xianbei Marshal, and he is also respected as a deduction, a deduction, and a visionary, so Tuoba Lin's move is very different from the head and the like, which is normal." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Bu replied, "It's just that in this way, if you want to rely on the crossbow and decide the Hetao in a battle, this strategy will not work." ”

"Exactly," Jia Xu frowned slightly, his face showing a little worry, "Yuan Zhi's retreat is also to be invincible first, and then seek victory, but now it seems that if you want to defeat Tuoba Xianbei Jingqi and recover the Hetao, I am afraid that it will not be easy." ”

Lu Bu turned his head to stare at the map on the wall, half silent, and suddenly smiled, turned around, and said to Jia Xu: "On the prairie, the wolves are the kings, do you know, what should be used to deal with the wolves?" ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, pondered for a long time, and still shook his head gloomily.

No matter how brilliant he is, this kind of thing is still beyond his experience, he has not actually seen it on the prairie, and has fought with wolves, how can he know how to deal with wolves.

"Fight hard, kill the first wolf, and the rest of the wolves, even if the number is still good, will never be able to gather again!"

Lu Bu still had a smile on his face, but what he said was extremely weighty, and when he heard Jia Xu's ears, it could be said to be deafening.

From Lu Bu's words, Jia Xu immediately thought of Xianbei, which was once strong, under the constraints of the king Tanshi Huai, Xianbei spanned more than 10,000 miles from east to west, and was divided into three parts: east, middle and west.

However, as soon as Tanshi Huai died, the entire Xianbei immediately fell apart, and it was no longer as strong as it was back then.

Isn't this what Lu Bu said about the way to deal with wolves? It's just that now, what Lu Bu has to deal with is the wolf pack of Tuoba Xianbei, and the head wolf is Tuoba Lin.

It's just that how to get rid of Tuoba Lin, Jia Xu has a lot of thoughts in his mind, and in the end, it is still difficult to think of a proper way in the blink of an eye.

After pondering for a moment, Jia Xu still asked out loud: "Then if you want to get rid of the head wolf of Tuoba Lin, how is the lord going to start?" ”

Lu Bu smiled confidently and replied, "It's very simple, it's hard!" ”

"Hard-hitting?"

Jia Xu frowned and asked.

"Exactly," Lu Bu replied very firmly, "It is a hard encounter, Tuoba Lin will divide the elite cavalry under the tent into several teams, not to face off with our army, mainly to attack and harass, resulting in the uselessness of our army's crossbows, in this case, after the New Year's pass, in March, I will personally lead the elite cavalry north, go to Wuyuan, and Tuoba under the tent of the elite cavalry, a hard battle!" ”

Before the words fell, Lu Bu saw that Jia Xu's face had changed greatly, and before he could dissuade him, his tone was categorical: "No, the battle of Hetao is bound to end in the long run, and our army will also be dragged by Tuoba Xianbei in Wuyuan, unable to advance eastward." I led the army to the north, with the elite cavalry against the Xianbei elite cavalry, and defeated it hard, so that he could see and see our Han army, not only the crossbow that can restrain the Xianbei elite cavalry, but also the elite cavalry that does not lose to the Xianbei elite cavalry! ”

Although Lu Bu said with confidence, Jia Xu still frowned when he heard it, and took advantage of Lu Bu's words to persuade: "The lord thinks twice, Xianbei Iron Riding boasts that he is invincible in the world, although it is not in the middle and not far away, the lord ......."

Lu Bu waved his hand to stop what Jia Xu said, and said to him arrogantly: "Sir, don't worry, I have my own measure, and I will fight against Tuoba Lin, I will do my best, gather generals, and kill Xianbei and ride a falling flower and flowing water, hum!" If even a small Tuoba Xianbei tribe can't be settled, what else can I talk about pacifying the world's heroes and dominating the world? ”

Jia Xu was moved by Lu Bu's heroism, although he still had doubts in his heart, but his mouth opened and closed several times, and when he dissuaded him, he finally didn't say anything, and finally stood up, bowed to Lu Bu solemnly, and said solemnly: "That being the case, Xu hereby wishes the Lord a victory and success!" ”
