Chapter 146: Abandonment
By the time Gan Ning, Ding Feng and Zhou Yu's large army converged, Han Xuan had already marched along the main road to Huiji County with more than 14,000 horses, and at this time it was already sunrise in the east, Yangzhou City ushered in a new dawn after a night of fighting-the soldiers who were fighting everywhere looked a little tired, Zhou Yu glanced at his soldiers and the soldiers behind Gan Ning, he ordered the whole army to rest for half an hour before setting off, so that the gang room quickly buried the pot to cook a hot soup, and everyone carried dry cakes in their arms. Zhou Yu also took out the dry food he was carrying and nibbled on it.
"Lord-Han Xuan, this old boy has run away with oil on the soles of his feet! What are we going to do? Why don't you let me lead my troops to catch up with this old boy and drag them down, and then how about you come back?" Gan Ning hurriedly finished eating, and immediately ran to Zhou Yu to ask for help, last night Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Jiang Qin all made great contributions, only himself and Ding Feng still did not make an inch, if you don't catch the last train of Han Xuan, the battle of Yangzhou will come to an end.
"Uhh Zhou Yu was scolded by Gan Ning like this, the already dry cakes were not delicious, and when Zhou Yu was chewing slowly, he suddenly reached his throat, and hurriedly took the water bladder he carried and poured a few mouthfuls of water.
"Xingba-are you lonely, empty, and cold? Or is it too much energy? I almost choked to death by your throat - you are not afraid that Ben Taishou will become the first Taishou in history to be choked to death, if I am really such a careless, I will go down in history! Zhou Yu, who had relieved himself, couldn't help but scold Gan Ning, and couldn't wait to go up and ravage Gan Ning.
"Haha-" The other generals and soldiers around him were amused by Zhou Yu's words, and Jiang Qin rolled on the ground with some exaggerated expressions, leaving only Gan Ning, who looked embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
"Okay - Xingba, I was joking just now, I haven't seen someone choke to death when I can eat! Since you have frightened me, I must punish you, can you be convinced? Zhou Yu was also about to tease Gan Ning, and deliberately asked Gan Ning with a straight face.
"My lord, the last will be damned! The lord can punish him as much as he wants, and Gan Ning has no complaints-"At this point, Gan Ning knelt on one knee, secretly blaming himself in his heart for being a little stupid, how could he be like this in front of so many people? Count yourself unlucky to touch this brow.
"Gan Ning Gan Xingba obeys the order - I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, with you as the commander-in-chief Ding Feng and Jiang Qin as the deputy generals, you can lead a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry to quickly catch up with Han Xuan, and drag him hard for me, remember one sentence, that is, the enemy army retreats and I advance, and the enemy army rests and I forgive!" Are you willing to be punished? Zhou Yu said with a serious face, but the surrounding Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, and Huang Zhong couldn't suppress their laughter, they knew that Zhou Yu was scaring you this kid. For the coach of this pursuit of Han Xuan is Gan Ning, Dian Wei and Zhou Tai have no objections, Dian Wei killed the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Chen Defeat, Huang Zhong killed the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Wan Bing, and Zhou Tai led the army to defend Yangzhou City.
"Good Ratat - the last general commands! The last general must come back with Han Xuan's head for the lord, you can see if you are old! As soon as Gan Ning heard Zhou Yu's words, he immediately understood that Zhou Yu was playing with himself, where is this punishment is clearly a reward, he hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhou Yu, and then ran out and turned over to greet Ding Feng and Jiang Qin, and led the men and horses to chase towards Han Xuan's escape route.
Running out of Yangzhou City, Han Xuan found that there were no chasing soldiers behind him for the time being, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked back at the sparse soldiers, even if he was too guarded and had no experience in commanding troops, he knew that these soldiers had reached the limit of running around all night, if he didn't stop to take a break, once there were chasing soldiers behind him, he couldn't resist at all, he waved his hand and asked the guards to give the order to rest on the spot for half an hour and then continue to hurry.
"Dashuai - we don't have much food and grass, we can only support half a day's consumption, and there are more than 2,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people under this command who need treatment, what do you think of this?" Seven Tigers quietly walked up to Han Xuan and pointed at the injured Yellow Turban Army, looking at him with a gesture to throw these people down as cannon fodder.
"Well—you go and call a few little marshals over and say that Ben Shuai has something to order, you don't have to worry about these things, it will be a great achievement to catch and dispose of the restless people in the army for me! Be careful to keep it secretive and don't let anyone else find out. Han Xuan chose to stop at this time because he found that the good and bad of this person under his command were mixed, and the marching speed was very slow, if he didn't deal with the people who were dragging his feet, the Yangzhou army would be able to catch up in an instant! And these Yellow Turban troops under his command now have nothing to eat or drink, coupled with low morale, it seems that they can't stop a wave of attacks. He looked at the back of the Seven Tigers with a cold glint in his eyes, sometimes it is not a good thing for people to be too smart.
"Dashuai - now our brothers can only follow you, Chen Dashuai and Wan Dashuai are estimated to have been dispersed by the official army, but the last generals want to ask Dashuai where we should go next?" Xiao Shuai asked first, but his speech was more tactful, and he didn't directly say that Chen Yu and Wan Bing were killed.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Han Xuan in unison, although Han Xuan had not been in the Yellow Turban Army for a long time, but he had a unique way of buying people's hearts, most of the Yellow Turban Army marshals were personally promoted, and for these people, there was a grace of knowledge, and the remaining defeated soldiers could only be led by Han Xuan now.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all seen the current battle situation, Chen Dashuai and Wan Dashuai are now estimated to be more than lucky, one thing is for sure, we must retreat now, if we don't withdraw, we may be wiped out, according to Ben Shuai's estimate, the reinforcements of the official army have arrived last night. But the art of war is cloudy, military affairs are impermanent, virtual is real, real is virtual, and now there will be an officer and army behind us chasing us? Now the urgency of delay is to get rid of the pursuers behind, what is the best way for everyone here? After all, Han Xuan is a person who has been a Taishou, and his words will not disgust these little handsomes, and will also change to how to escape with his words.
"Da Shuai - you see that we are all vulgar generals, how can we think about things, you are a big marshal, you can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and everything small is at your command!" The kid who was talking was a talent, and he could still say such a classic sentence, at least this horse made Han Xuan feel comfortable.
"That's good - since you all agree with Ben Shuai's decision, then I have decided to leave an ambush here, and then set up another ambush two miles ahead, and so on we need to leave five ambushes, each of which needs to leave a thousand men and horses, and Ben Shuai will lead a large army to lure the officers and soldiers in front, and when the officers and soldiers are engaged in a battle with Ben Shuai, the fifth ambush army close to Ben Shuai will be able to kill and retreat from behind, and when the time comes, the four ambush soldiers behind will be able to completely annihilate the officers and troops when they are killed one after another. And the officers and soldiers would not have thought that Ben Shuai would prepare so many ambushes for them to deal with them, maybe we can rely on this turnaround. If it weren't for the purpose of escaping, he felt that he was a military genius, and it was said in the art of war that things could be done again and again, but after three times, there was no morale, and Han Xuan's mind thought of the scene of an ambush on all sides, if it weren't for the fact that the five thousand men and horses had all eliminated the old, weak, sick, disabled, and weak combat effectiveness, and all the rest were more capable soldiers, Han Xuan might have put out ten teams of ambush soldiers.
"Clever plan - the handsome man is really a clever plan! The last general waited for the bow - "Whether you can understand it or not, but the decision and strategy of the big marshal must be right, and there are few of the little marshals under him who can understand it, only knowing that Han Xuan wants to set up an ambush to ambush the officers and soldiers!"
A group of fools, who were sold by Lao Tzu and counted the money to Lao Tzu, this is a sentence that flashed in Han Xuan's mind.
