Chapter 34: The Old Fish Enters the Sea

(I was going to have a more 7,000-word plan today, but after dinner, I suddenly found that the document on the plate couldn't be opened, my hard work······ Two thousand first, and three thousand before 12 o'clock tonight. The only requirement: give a little subscription~~~~)

"Master of the official army, they are deceitful, they are deceitful!"

Immediately after the blood-stained hands appeared on the battlements of the city, it was a blood-stained face, and a pair of hands grabbed the battlements with force, and shouted angrily in a hoarse voice.

Almost at the same time, the rope on Wu Shaoyang's body, which was originally tightly bound, suddenly loosened, and then, Wu Shaoyang shouted "release", and the person clung to the horse's back. A rain of arrows flew from behind Wu Shaoyang, and Qi Bi He Li, who was caught off guard, subconsciously turned over, and a crossbow arrow shot through his arm, as long as it was a little more off, this crossbow arrow would hit his chest. With the rain of arrows, a miserable scream sounded behind Qi Bi He Li. Due to limited storage, after a burst of crossbow arrows were fired, the Huaixi army was ready for white-knuckle combat. Wu Shaoyang had already sat up from the horse at this time, and took over the blade from the officer behind him, and the soldiers who were originally leading the mules and horses on foot also turned over on their horses or got on mules, Wu Shaoyang shouted:

"Rush!"

The knights shouted together and rushed up. The foot soldiers who followed the cavalry unhurriedly put the uneaten dried rice back into their blankets and rushed after the cavalry. The unalert officers and soldiers did not have time to organize an effective defense, and they were so anxious that they shouted, but they were surrounded by their own soldiers and ran back, but fortunately, the purpose of the Huaixi Army was only to break through the encirclement, not to kill and injure, otherwise the losses of the officers and troops would be great. Wu Shaoyang didn't even pay attention to where he hated to join the army, so he led the crowd to the east gate. When Yan Qin arrived with his people, he only saw the open inner city and the injured Qi Bi He Li, as well as hundreds of disgraced officers and soldiers.

I thought that the foolproof siege strategy was easily cracked by the other party, and it was false to say that Yan Qin was not angry. However, looking at the injured Qi Bi He Li and the officers and soldiers who shrank their heads into their necks, Yan Qin couldn't get angry. Since the start of the war, he has worked hard to move forward in every battle from the beginning of the war, and has made great contributions. In order not to affect the military merits and future of Qi Bi He Li, Yan Qin ordered the scout team to go out of the east gate to track, and immediately organized two battalions of cavalry to prepare for pursuit, thinking that Wu Shaoyang would inevitably break through to Caizhou, Shenzhou to Caizhou has more than 100 miles, during which there are also new barriers built by the official army, Wu Shaoyang's troops are all foot soldiers, the speed will not be fast, as long as you hurry up, you should be able to catch up, and you can make up for it. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Lu Zhen and Li Yu, and took all the responsibility on himself, because of his carelessness and negligence, Wu Shaoyang seized the opportunity to break through, and asked Lu Zhen and Li Yu to punish him.

Wenchengzha was not far from Shenzhou, and not long after Yan Qin led his troops out of the east gate, Li Yu's envoy came to Shenzhou. In Shenzhou City, Qibi He Li was on the orders of Yan Qin to organize the people to clean up the inner city, and at this time more than 400 corpses had been dragged out of the inner city, most of them were stabbed in the back, these were soldiers who planned to surrender, and they were obviously killed defenselessly after being deceived by Wu Shaoyang into saying that they wanted to surrender. There were also the bodies of three women in the middle, and the captives identified them as Wu Shaoyang's concubines and two handmaidens.

Since Tongping Zhangshi and Deputy Marshal Lu Zhen were in Shannan, it was not easy for Li Yu to draw conclusions about Yan Qin's military report, so he just sent someone to comfort Yan Qin, asking Yan Qin not to care, what Li Yu would bear with him. At the same time, he told Yan Qin that he had sent the Chinese officer Pegasus to the various barriers leading to Caizhou, and ordered strict precautions and vigorous interception. Since Yan Qin was not in the city, the envoy left Li Yu's letter and went back to restore his life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yu's envoy left Shenzhou, something happened in Shenzhou over there: Wu Shaoyang called back! Fortunately, the number of officers and soldiers was three times that of Wu Shaoyang, and after a period of chaos, under the leadership of Qi Bi He Li, who was wounded and went into battle, Wu Shaoyang was repulsed, but the losses had already been caused. After Yan Qin went out of the east gate, the scouts reported that Wu Shaoyang's soldiers fled in two ways, relying on the overwhelming superiority of the cavalry on the plain, Yan Qin separated the two battalions of cavalry and chased them separately, and chased out for thirty miles without finding any trace of Wu Shaoyang, Yan Qin, who found that things were not good, immediately returned to the division, and met the officer sent by Qibi He Li to report the news on the way, only to know that he had fallen into Wu Shaoyang's serial scheme, and here he went out of the city to chase, and Wu Shaoyang attacked the official army's camp outside the city with a horse pistol, although he was finally repulsed, but killed the two guards, Countless grains and grass were burned, and more than 100 horses of the official army were taken captive. Yan Qin found that after leaving Shenzhou, which was surrounded by groups, Wu Shaoyang was really like an old fish entering the sea.

Although he has an absolute advantage in his own troops, after all, the terrain is not as familiar as others. After returning to Shenzhou, the officers reported that Wu Shaoyang had fled to Gwangju, but Yan Qin did not believe it at all, because Yan Qin believed that Wu Shaoyang would not give up on going to the more important Caizhou. So, on the one hand, Yan Qin ordered his men and horses to rest well, and on the other hand, he sent several hundred-man cavalry teams to search for Wu Shaoyang's traces, so that the thousand-man cavalry team was on standby, and at the same time wrote an official letter and sent it to Lu Zhen and Li Yu. After doing this, Yan Qin, the deputy commander of the Shannan Road march and the assassin of Quanshenzhou, went to Shenzhou to pacify the people.

By the end of the night, Yan Qin's face had become ugly. On the one hand, his prediction was true, Wu Shaoyang did not go to Gwangju, but the price was that his 100-man cavalry team was completely annihilated by Wu Shaoyang in the southeast of Shenzhou, and the thousand-man cavalry who attacked after hearing the news only successfully completed the task of collecting the corpse, and even Wu Shaoyang's hair was not seen. On the other hand, the official documents of Tongping Zhangshi and Lu Zhen, the deputy marshal of the Huaixi Xing Battalion, were also sent to Yan Qin. In the official document, Lu Zhen did not blame Yan Qin for letting Wu Shaoyang go, but praised Yan Qin's merits in recovering Shenzhou, which made Yan Qin's heart feel a little calmer, but Yan Qin's heart was immediately brought up again, because Lu Zhen said in the official document that out of the importance of the first state city recovered since the start of the war, he would come to Shenzhou to comfort the people the day after tomorrow at the latest, so that Yan Qin would be simple and not disturb the people.

At present, Wu Shaoyang led nearly a thousand powerful Huaixi soldiers to an unknown whereabouts, and it is very likely that he will continue to do evil on the boundary of Shenzhou, but Lu Xianggong wants to come to Shenzhou in person, Yan Qin, who knows Lu Zhen's style, knows very well that the old man is likely to bring more than a dozen people here, what if something happens? So Yan Qin, who was anxious, immediately sent his horse to Wenchengzha to find Li Yu to discuss.

Lu Zhen's official document was in duplicate, and Li Yu also knew what Lu Zhen planned to come to in person, but compared to Yan Qin's nervousness, Li Yu was very relaxed. Li Yu said to Yan Qin:

"General Yan, please rest assured, there is a way to let Lu Xianggong bring thousands of people to come here."
