Chapter 580: Pursuit

The east gate of Fanyang City is defended by the Tiger Legion.

Because he knew that Xuanyuan Honglie had many generals in his hands, Li Yang arranged famous generals with high military value at various city gates.

Knowing that Xuanyuan Honglie rushed out of the east gate, Li Yang showed an angry look on his face, and hurriedly ordered Bai Qi, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others from the north gate and the west gate to gather at the east gate, and at the same time, he himself took his soldiers and quickly rushed to the east gate.

Outside the East Gate, there was a mess, corpses, flesh, and broken armor fell on the surrounding ground like this.

"Report to the Lord~"

As soon as Li Yang stepped out of the city gate, a soldier rushed over.

"General Taishi ordered the villain to tell the lord that it was the general's dereliction of duty to let the enemy go, but now that the enemy is on the run, when the war slows down a little, he will definitely personally ask the lord for guilt."

"This war crime is no longer Ziyi, two fists are difficult to reach four hands, not to mention that there are too many enemy generals, by the way, where did Ziyi go?"

"General Taishi has personally led people to pursue!"

After listening to the soldier's return, Li Yang's brows furrowed.

Poor Kou Mo chases, let alone a ruthless man who dares to use the people of the whole city as bait, if the enemy ignores it, I am afraid that the Tiger Legion will suffer a large number of casualties again.

Tai Shici is also a top celebrity, and he shouldn't be unaware of this reversal.

But now is clearly not the time to think about it.

After learning the direction of Xuanyuan Honglie's escape from the soldiers' mouths again, Li Yang ordered a few more people to pass the message, and then continued to pursue without stopping.

After the north gate and the west gate solved the enemy in front of them, they obeyed Li Yang's orders, and led people from Bai Qi to defend Fanyang City to stabilize the people's hearts and prevent other accidents, while Zhao Yun took Zhang Fei and led Yanyun Iron Cavalry straight to Li Yang.

Li Yang and the others followed the traces left by Tai Shici, tracked all the way, and constantly sent scouts to understand the situation ahead.

To say that this Xuanyuan is magnificent, it also shows his ruthless side.

Just like during the siege of Fanyang City, he did not hesitate to give up a large number of soldiers to block the pursuit of the Tiger Legion.

Although the Xuanyuan army is rapidly attrition, their main force is now getting farther and farther away from the pursuers, and the casualties of the Tiger Legion are gradually increasing.

For this reason, Li Yang even ordered Tai Shici to reduce the speed of the pursuit to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.

"Big brother, something seems wrong?"

On this day, Li Yang led the army to pursue, but Zhang Liang suddenly found Li Yang.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Liang's intuition and resourcefulness, Li Yang still attaches great importance to it, and after hearing Zhang Liang's words, he stopped asking as soon as possible.

"Big brother, have you noticed that we are almost traveling in a straight line all this way!"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be in a straight line, but is there anything wrong with this?" ”

As a person with modern thoughts, he felt that a straight line between two points was the shortest, and he believed that Xuanyuan Honglie must also know this truth, so Li Yang felt that there seemed to be no problem for the enemy to flee in a straight line.

"The direction of Guanxuanyuan Honglie's escape is Bohai, Bohai County has now fallen into the hands of the eldest brother, although there are no heavy troops to guard it, but we only need to send someone to inform it, and it is okay to block it. At that time, we can also take advantage of this time to catch up with them. ”

Li Yang nodded, "What Zifang thinks is true, I now order to inform the defenders around Bohai County and gather the army to block Xuanyuan Honglie." ”

Zhang Liang nodded, and then continued: "It should be so, but the enemy shouldn't make such a mistake either. ”

"Second brother means that the enemy has other conspiracies?"

"That's right, Sima Wenliang's resourcefulness will not be so obvious, obviously they have other plans!"

"What does the second brother mean is that Xuanyuan Honglie and them actually fled from other directions?"

Hearing that Xuanyuan Honglie was afraid that he had fled from other places, Li Yang's face couldn't help but become solemn.

"Where do they think they fled to?"

"If you want to know where they're fleeing, you have to find out where they started fleeing!"

"What does the second brother mean?"

"Big brother, it's possible that when we were in Fanyang City, we had already guessed wrong, or they were still ahead of us."

After speaking, Zhang Liang looked ahead, his eyes shining with essence.

………………

"Wenliang, when are we leaving!"

Xuanyuan Honglie was riding on the war horse, his face was a little ugly.

In fact, his expression has continued all the way.

Although it was much better than the time when he escaped back from Changshan, the same experience made him unconsciously think of that bad experience, and he hated this experience and feeling, which he had not experienced in his usual games and reality.

"Big brother, don't be anxious, it's coming soon!"

Sima Wen's conscience has always been in a state of extreme speed, because he knows who his opponent is, and he also understands that his planning ability is lower than that of his opponent, so he must carefully calculate in his heart to prevent mistakes.

It may be because he glanced at Xuanyuan Honglie when he answered, and then he noticed Xuanyuan Honglie's expression.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Xuanyuan Honglie glanced at Sima Wenliang, but the expression on his face did not change, "With Wenliang here, I am naturally at ease." ”

After hearing this, Sima Wenliang's face was excited, but he sighed in his heart, he knew that Xuanyuan Honglie had obviously not fully regained his trust in himself.

"Report~" At this time, a soldier rushed over on horseback and attracted the attention of the two, "Tell the lord, the military division, thirty miles ahead is the border of Bohai County." ”

Hearing the soldier's report, the corners of Sima Wenliang's mouth hung an arc, and he turned his head to Xuanyuan Honglie and said, "Big brother, it's here!" ”

The expression on Xuanyuan Honglie's face remained unchanged, but Sima Wenliang clearly felt that he exhaled.

"Go according to the plan!"

"No!" Sima Wenliang responded, then hurriedly left and went to order.

Zhang Liang's guess was correct, Sima Wenliang planned to divide the fleeing Xuanyuan army into two groups, and the main personnel and the real elite of the guards were separated from the large army.

Subsequently, according to Sima Wenliang's arrangement, the large army continued to move forward, led by Yan Liang and Zhang Liao, and Xuanyuan Honglie broke away with the remaining generals and elites and headed northeast.

Sima Wenliang's arrangement of Yan Liang and Zhang Liao was also considered.

First of all, the commander of the army must have a person with a relatively high reputation and who is more loyal to Xuanyuan Honglie as the commander-in-chief, and there are also a lot of fleeing troops, and if you want to hide from the whole army, a single commander is not enough.

For this kind of subordinate, Xuanyuan Honglie is unwilling to let go.

It was Sima Wenliang who moved with affection and understood with reason, and finally persuaded Xuanyuan Honglie.

But in the end, he only let go of Yan Liang, after all, Yan Liang has not been in him for a long time, but his reputation in the Jizhou army is very high, as for Zhang Liao, his ability is naturally nothing to say, but after all, it will not be long before he takes refuge in Xuanyuan Honglie.

The 'newcomers' in Jizhou who took refuge in Xuanyuan Honglie are only Qin Qiong and Zhang Liao.

Comparing the two, Xuanyuan Honglie naturally chose to keep Qin Qiong, after all, when the 'Century' system was still there, he compared the abilities of the two.

After breaking away from the large army, Xuanyuan Honglie marched to the northwest with the elite, in order to prevent being discovered quickly, he followed Sima Wenliang's advice, and it happened that he still had many generals under him, enough to be competent for all emergencies.

They broke into pieces, and went all the way to a county town called Huangyi in Bohai County, where Sima Wenliang had prepared in advance, their way out.
