"Report~, general, the emperor of the Han army drove the expedition in person, and this morning I lost three border cities in Xiping County!"

A terrible roar stunned Ma Chi, the general who was about to exterminate the last group of bandits. Obviously, a few days ago, the Han Emperor was still holding his post-sealing ceremony in their capital, why did he suddenly appear in his own territory today, what is the situation?

"What's going on? You know the cost of fake news! ”

The lieutenant who was in charge of the reconnaissance cavalry grabbed the collar and lifted the horse, and shouted loudly at the captain.

It's not that he doesn't believe this captain, but the news is too sudden, and it suddenly makes him feel a little in a hurry. If it was really the Han Emperor's personal expedition, then this matter must have been premeditated a long time ago, and the overwhelming Han army pressed over, so how could he defend Ma Chi?

"Yes, yes. Early this morning, the scouts heard the earth-shattering roar in the Han Pass, and soon found a steady stream of Han troops pouring out of the Han Pass. Although our border city is strong, first, the destruction of the chaotic army and the fact that our attack a few days ago has not been repaired, and second, the army is discouraged, and there is no time to mobilize troops and horses to defend it. So three cities were lost at once, and now the Han army is overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of troops, please decide on the general! ”

The captain's panicked expression and frightened eyes clearly told Ma Chi that this matter really couldn't be more real!

"Ahh

Now that the psychological panic was confirmed, he violently pushed away the lieutenant he was holding in his hand, and Ma Chi suddenly sat down on the ground in the big tent.

The reaction now is not that he is timid, nor is it because he is not capable of galloping, but because he only has 80,000 troops in his hands now. The remaining 50,000 troops had already been sent out by him to sweep all over the country, and now that the 50,000 troops have not returned, his 80,000 horses will definitely not be able to stop the Han army that has been planned for a long time. However, these 50,000 horses were not abandoned and abandoned, which made Ma Chi hesitate for a while.

"Is it a fight to the death? Or, withdraw? ”

Thinking of the emperor's sincere trust in him now, he left behind half of the kingdom and the entire Xiping army of nearly 100,000 like this. He has a shameless shame. But if he doesn't withdraw, once his 80,000 people are exhausted, then a continent leading to Jincheng will be extremely unblocked, and it will be difficult for Jincheng to prevent people and horses from defending against the enemy's territory. I can't say that I'm going to start a desperate fight in Jincheng~

The lieutenant was shocked when he saw the general's demeanor now. Then he hurriedly and quietly retreated. If this general's ugliness is seen clearly, can he still have a life to live?

……

Ma Chi, who heard such news, was unusually entangled at the moment. Spread on the ground, he used all his brains to think of countermeasures. However, the dignified Han army pressed the border, which was crushed by pure strength. It's the righteous army and the yang conspiracy! Besides, how could the Han army, who still has Guo Jiacun, show a little omission and let him go to the camp?

"Report~, Jincheng 800 miles to report in a hurry~!"

Just when Ma Chi was about to make up his mind to fight to the death and fight for the opportunity for the deployment behind, another elongated sound of retribution made Ma Chi's brows furrow tightly.

Even if the Han army marched quickly, it should only arrive at him tonight, or even early tomorrow morning, how could there be a new battle report? But then as soon as he heard that it was Jincheng who reported it, he quickly stood up and strode out to greet the envoy.

……

"Now that the Han army is about to overwhelm the border, the general Ma Chi reorganized the army and quickly withdrew from Xiping County and set up a defensive line in Jinmen County. Combine. The old prime minister Wang Meng and Yao Chang and Yao Xing went to assist you, the day the holy decree arrived, set off immediately, there can be no mistake, please this~! ”

Compared with the usual crepe, long-winded decree, this urgent decree is unusually simple. In general, it is one word, withdraw!

"The last will obey!"

After hearing the news of the old prime minister Wang Meng, Ma Chi's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. Although the Holy Decree and the arrival of the old prime minister helped him make up his mind, he felt a heartache at the thought of the territory of half of the kingdom and the army of nearly 100,000 that he was about to give up.

Ordered horses to gallop. He then ordered the army to prepare its horses and gallop to Jinmen County an hour later. As for the surrounding 50,000 troops, he still tried to send as many fast horses as possible to pass the word, so that they could get closer to Jincheng County. As for them being too late, then leave it to fate~

And Ma Chi's retreat gave the entire Xiping City to Meng Li's pro-conquest army in vain. The army of Qianqin, which was scattered all over the country, was directly harvested by Meng Li, who had passed all the way.

……

"Stop the march and attack Yangping Pass? Bonghyo, this is too risky! ”

Meng Li, who sought stability, was stationed overnight in Xiping City, the capital of Xiping County. When he woke up in the morning, he was surprised to hear Guo Jia's hurried advice.

"Your Majesty, now the former Qin general Ma Chi hurriedly ran back without even wanting this Xiping, I am afraid that I have received the guidance of the masters of the former Qin country, or that theirs'legendary old prime minister' has woken up and seen through our plan, so we want to move on. It will definitely fall into a tug-of-war with the army that Qianqin is bent on defending, and the gains outweigh the losses! If in that case, the Great Qin Empire has copied the back road and set up camp before the Hanguan Fortress to intercept our retreat, then our army will never return home! ”

Guo Jia was not in a hurry, and told Meng Li his reasons word by word, and his remarks also conquered Meng Li's inner bias.

"So, don't you want this Xiping County?"

Meng Li, who frowned, was still a little worried. Now that the top strategist Wang Meng on the other side has been resurrected, will he see through the idea of making such a light advance as he and the others will chase after him? This person is the older he gets, the more demonic he becomes!

"No, let General Zhang Liao continue to lead the army forward, and His Majesty will lead 50,000 elite soldiers and horses to attack Yangping Pass at night, and strive to fight down!"

Guo Jia really deserves to be a 'gambler', and Meng Li was terrified when he heard this strategy. If you want to succeed, you don't need to say much, you can attack your own advance, and you can defend when you retreat. If the sneak attack fails, or the frontal army can't withstand it, or if Yangping can't hold it, then it's all lost!

"Feng Xiao, and Rong Zhen think! If the sneak attack fails and instead attracts the retaliation of the Great Qin Empire, then we will really not be able to get out of the Han Pass for the rest of our lives, and we may even hate this Xiping land! ”

Although he had always believed in Guo Jia's strategy, Meng Li still hesitated, rubbing his head, he waved his hand at Guo Jia and said. (To be continued.) )
