Chapter 12 Plans to behead Li Shu
"He let him run!" Li Shu slapped his thigh angrily, his face full of unwillingness, "What Yan Guohao is handsome, but he is just an escapee!" ”
At this time, when Sun Yuan rushed to the front line, he happened to meet Li Shu, who was scolding.
"General." Sun Yuan shouted, and then rode his horse towards Li Shu.
"Sun Yuan, you came just in time, can you see the other party's coach clearly, is it Murong Chui?"
Sun Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Shu's displeased face, which could breathe fire again at any time, he quickly turned the eighty percent possibility in his heart into an affirmation, and replied firmly, "It is indeed Murong Chui, the king of Wu of Dayan!" ”
"It's really him!" Li Shu was both surprised and delighted, he had never heard of his name, he had never fought before, if he could defeat Murong Chui, he would definitely be engraved in history.
"How many men do they have?" He then asked.
Sun Yuan hesitated for a moment, he didn't see how many soldiers and horses the other party had, looking at Li Shu's increasingly blue face, he had no choice but to reply stiffly, "About three thousand cavalry." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Shu's blood suddenly boiled, he raised his big knife sharply, and ordered the Jin army behind him, "Chase me!" ”
Sun Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly stopped Li Shu, and said, "General, the prime minister ordered me to break the Yan camp and take Yecheng directly, and now this direction is contrary to Yecheng!" ”
"Kill Murong Chui, why worry about the city not being broken?" Li Shu asked rhetorically.
From a strategic and long-term point of view, Li Shu's thoughts at this time are not too problematic, and it is indeed Murong Chui who alone supports half of Dayan's stormy country. If Murong Chui died, even though there were still tens of thousands of cavalry in the Yan Kingdom, there would never be any commander who could match Huan Wen.
It's just that he is fierce and unscrupulous, and at this time, he can't see through the trap of the Yan army at all, and he never thought that since he is a figure like the Optimus Pillar of the Yan Kingdom, he has not been defeated in half his life, how can he be easily buried in your hands?
"However, the prime minister's order ......" Sun Yuan still had palpitations, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Li Shu raised his sword and shouted majestically, "Didn't you see that the Yan army has risen again and guarded it tightly!" If we attack again now, even if it gets dark, we won't be able to hit Yecheng, so it's better to chase Murong Trai who fled after the rout! At that time, if you have made miraculous achievements, the prime minister will only reward you more. ”
"The last general is just worried, in case there is a ...... of fraud" Sun Yuan still felt faintly uneasy.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shu's angry voice, "You have clearly seen the other party's men and horses, but they are only half of us, not to mention that General Huan Chong has led a large army to contain the main force of the Yan army at Fangtou, and they can't draw troops and horses to support at all." ”
"Stop Murong Trai at this time! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”
"You don't need to say much, violators of military orders will be punished!" Li Shu had obviously exhausted all his patience and had taken the lead in leading the horse to chase after him.
Sun Yuan seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Li Shu had already driven away, he had no choice but to whip his whip and follow the army.
The Yan army hurried first and then slowly, and when they saw the Jin army chasing the soldiers, they galloped up again. Despite this, the Yan army after the break was still killed by Li Shu's soldiers and horses, but fortunately, the casualties were not heavy, and the earth mountain was close at hand.
Seeing that the Yan army was being chased into the mountains and forests, Li Shu was about to chase after him, Sun Yuan looked at the terrain surrounded by mountains and rivers, and his heart suddenly became worried, he stopped Li Shu again and persuaded, "General, the mountains and forests here are so deep, we have no guide Duan Si, I'm afraid we will lose our way!" ”
"It's better to put a fire at the foot of this mountain and smoke the Yan army with smoke, and then we will be able to ambush a thousand people by guarding the exit of the mountain."
When Li Shu heard this, he felt very inappropriate, "If you set fire here, it will definitely alarm Yecheng." If we attract a large number of Yan troops, won't we be annihilated! ”
"It's better for you to lead 800 cavalry to guard here, and the rest of the soldiers will follow this general into the mountain, and you and I will echo each other."
"I think General Ben has been crisscrossing the battlefield for more than ten years, and he has never entered any high mountains and cliffs, how can this small mountain trap General Ben?" Li Shu's face was full of confidence, and his arrogant aura seemed to be half a point higher than the top of the mountain, "I will force the Yan army to go down the mountain then, and you will keep this place in prison for me!" ”
"I have to capture Murong Trai today!"
Sun Yuan was afraid of Li Shu's violent temper and knew that he would not easily listen to people's advice, so he didn't dare to talk in vain. Having marched so far, it is obviously impossible to take Yecheng, and now except for following Li Shu to pursue Murong Chui, he has no other face to go back to see Huan Wen. Thinking about it again, in fact, what Li Shu said is not unreasonable, if it is a combination of fire and smoke, it will definitely attract reinforcements from the Yan State, and they may not be able to break through and return.
After thinking about it, he could only compliment, "The general is quick in strategy, and the general will definitely hold this place until the general returns triumphantly." ”
Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, raised his broadsword, and led four thousand horsemen to the depths of the earth mountain.
When Murong Ling saw Li Shu enter the mountain, he was overjoyed, and he thought: You will definitely have no return!
He immediately ordered the cavalry to speed up, and as soon as he reached the forked mountain, he let his subordinates divide their troops and leave, which made Li Shu anxious. Li Shu was helpless, and he didn't know which side was Murong Chui's team, so he had to scatter his troops and horses to pursue.
When he arrived at the mountainside, there were less than a thousand horsemen left around Li Shu, and in the north and south directions of the forest, there were swallow flags fluttering. Thinking that although Li Shu was brave and unscrupulous, he was also a veteran with rich combat experience, and he knew that he must not divide his troops at this time, so he led all his troops and horses to the north to chase him.
After entering the mountain, Murong Ling, Xi Luoteng, and Dye Ganjin each led three elite troops to coil around the mountains and rivers, and the soldiers pursued by Li Shu were led by Dye Ganjin.
After chasing for less than a few laps, Li Shu soon became dizzy and couldn't distinguish between southeast and northwest. Originally, Li Shu took the sun as the east, and he could still distinguish the direction he was taking, but the place where the trees were lush and there was no daylight, made him lose his sense of direction all of a sudden.
Now that he has no plan, he has no choice but to continue to chase after him. The cavalry led by Dye Ganjin had not tasted a big battle and was still full of energy, but Li Shu's soldiers and horses were obviously a little exhausted from attacking the camp to chasing after them. The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, sometimes rolling stones fall, Li Shu's cavalry lives in the south all the year round, and it is very difficult to the mountains in the north, and there are more than 100 people who fall from the mountain. A few more miles down, there were less than seven hundred horsemen left around him.
At this time, Li Shu was shocked to find that he had returned to a place he had already walked before.
Looking at it again, the Yan army was black and pressed, standing along the high mountain, all holding bows and arrows. He didn't dare to estimate the number of people, not ten thousand, but seven or eight thousand. The Yan army shouted loudly, the momentum was terrifying, the Jin army was panicked, and there were people who fled one after another.
On the high mountain, I saw a person with a golden light covering body, the instrument was extraordinary, his eyes were contemptuous, looking down on the world. The fog had dissipated, and when Li Shu looked up and wanted to see it clearly, he finally saw the person sitting on the ochre white seat in real view, only to see him glaring angrily, awe-inspiring and majestic, although he was somewhat similar to Murong Chui, but where was this young face that was not confused.
He was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but muttered in a panic, "Oh no! Fooled! ”
Immediately turned the horse's head and wanted to drive the horse down the mountain, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, wait for him to go out of the mountain, and condemn Sun Yuan's crime.
As the saying goes: it's easy to come, but hard to go.
How could Murong Ling let the prey that had already fallen into the rat trap escape? He immediately ordered Luo Teng and Dye Ganjin to attack Li Shu.
Li Shu wanted to retreat, but the heavy stones on the mountain suddenly rolled down, and thousands of arrows were fired together, and the Jin army was bleeding from their heads, and fell through several arrows, and Li Shu was also hit by two arrows.
The sharp arrow stopped, and when he looked at it again, there were less than twenty people around Li Shu who could stand.
At this time, Xi Luoteng held the axe, Dye Ganjin held the spear, each led a hundred people to attack, and in the blink of an eye, the Jin army was gone, and Li Shuli died in battle.
After the Jin army, a thousand horsemen came, it was the soldiers and horses before Li Shu divided the troops, they saw that the commander was dead, and the Yan army was ten times as large as him, and immediately fled in all directions. Murong Ling's eyes were cold, as ruthless as an emperor who ruled life and death, he waved his long knife in his hand, and the rain of arrows rose again, and the Jin army rode four thousand horses, and less than a hundred people escaped from the mountain.
"General Sun, there is an ambush in the Yan army! The general is dead, and I finally managed to pick up my life and escape down the mountain! ”
Sun Yuan looked at the bottom of the mountain, wasn't the figure fleeing in a panic Li Shu's people?
As soon as he heard that Li Shu was dead, Sun Yuan was shocked, knowing that it would be difficult to resist the Yan army with his own hundred horsemen, so he immediately wanted to lead the army to escape.
But the question is, where to go?
Sun Yuan thought about it, disobeying military orders, attacking mountains without authorization, and losing troops and generals, each of these crimes was enough for Huan Wen to behead him in front of the army, such a big defeat had to find a scapegoat, otherwise where should Huan Wen's monstrous anger go!
Jin Ying will never go back!
It's better to take advantage of the fact that when the Yan army and the Jin army were fighting in Fangtou, he led the rest of the soldiers to occupy the county and stand on his own, at least have a place to settle down.
He then asked his subordinates, "Today's big defeat, the general is killed in battle, what kind of face do we have to go back and meet the prime minister!" ”
When the generals heard this, they all lowered their heads and sighed.
"Are you willing to follow me and see the situation in troubled times?"
The rest of the generals were already panicking, they knew Huan Wen's temperament, even if they returned to the camp and were heavily punished, they would not be reused.
Therefore, they immediately said, "I wish to follow the general!" ”
In September 369, Sun Yuan occupied Wuyang and resisted the Former Yan.

"King Wu, Huan Chong has retreated!"
Murong De came to report, but the armor on his body had not had time to take off, and his face was dusty.
Fortunately, the army retreated, this Huan Chong is a rare general's talent, if he fights again, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Murong Chui was overjoyed and said bluntly, "It should be Ling'er who won the victory in Puyang." ”
"The soldiers are fast, Xuan Ming, you immediately focus on the soldiers and horses, and tonight you will lead 15,000 horsemen to Shimen, quickly defeat Yuan Zhen, and completely break Huan Wen's thoughts!"
Murong Chui knew that today's victory was not far from forcing Huan Wen to retreat!
"If you win, lie in Xiangyi, Huan Wen will retreat through this road and hit it hard."
"Order!"
Half an hour later, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp, as if a great victory, the man turned over and dismounted, and galloped towards the main camp like flying.
"Father, General Siluo and General Dyegan beheaded Li Shu, the general of Huan Wen!"
"We killed more than 4,000 enemies!"
Murong Chui was overjoyed, he looked at his son, who was dressed in dark iron fine armor, and seemed to see himself more than twenty years ago, majestic and heroic, standing between the two formations.
"Good! Good! When I return to Longcheng, I will perform the work of sealing and waiting for Your Majesty! ”
"King Wu, you had a great time today!" Xi Luoteng then entered the camp, carrying Li Shu's head in his hand.
Murong Chui laughed and said, "Xiluo, it's time to give Huan Wen a generous gift!" ”
Xi Luoteng immediately reacted, "The last general will go!" Let's see how long the old man can last. ”
"Dye dry, send an order to Yuzhou to assassinate Li Di, and order him to lead the state soldiers to cut off the temperature feed."
Murong Trai knew that it was time to give Huan Wen a fatal blow!
"Order!" Dye Ganjin is determined.
With a two-pronged approach, one cut off the grain road, and the other cut off the water transportation, there was nothing to be done about him Huan Wen, and King Wu grabbed the lifeblood of the Jin army at once. After several defeats, I'm afraid that Huan Wen is already in chaos at this time.

Fangtou Jin camp
"Big brother, Li Shu abandoned Yecheng, chased the Yan army to Tushan, buried in the battle, our army's 4,000 cavalry was annihilated, Sun Yuan rebelled, and led the remaining less than 1,000 horsemen and horses to find another place!" Although Huan Chong retreated, the 100,000 anxious battle situation made him already know very well in his heart that the offensive of their Jin army had been successfully reversed by Murong Chui.
"Sun Yuan is such a rebel villain, he has no intention of leaving him, and his own Yan army will clean him up in the future!"
"It's just Li Shu's husband! I have broken my orders! Bury the great fighter plane that I took Yecheng! Huan Wen was so angry that he gasped, after all, he was getting older, and his body was not as good as before.
Duan Si was captured, Li Shu was beheaded, how could he have been defeated again and again like this, Murong Chui is really an ordinary person!
"Big brother, the situation is already quite critical!"
When he was stationed in Fangtou, he didn't agree, Yan Guo was the world that was immediately defeated, after several Ming Lords, although there has been a trend of decay in recent years, Yan Dazai Taiyuan King Murong Ke died of illness, but Yan Guo's talent has not withered, there are still generals like Murong Chui who can be in all directions, and Yan Guo's elite cavalry is brave and unstoppable, it is impossible to capture Yecheng in a short time.
He knew that the eldest brother had the ambition of the eldest brother, but now their grain and grass really couldn't be consumed any longer.
"Don't panic first, the more this time, the more you must stabilize your position, in case Murong Chui raids, and order the whole battalion to raise vigilance." Although Huan Wen was so calm, the game of chess in his heart was obviously disrupted.
"Young son, what do you think of it now?"
Huan Wen's younger brothers, only Chong Wen's talent, he has always relied on this young brother very much.
"Brother Yi, while the grain and grass are still sufficient, burn the ship, abandon the baggage, and return to Jiankang by land."
It is close to the dry period, and the waterway can no longer sail, if they want to retreat safely, they can only take the land route, although there is a danger of being covered up by Murong Chui, but the sooner they go, the safer it will be for the Jin army.
Huan Wen fell into silence, losing troops one after another, demoralizing, and worrying about grain and grass, and the situation was indeed not optimistic. It's just that he still has the mentality of gambling on everything, if Yuan Zhen can open the stone gate in time and the supply of grain and grass is smooth, the victory or defeat between him and Murong Chui is unknown.
"I know, let me think about it, you go and call Xi Chao."
If Huan Chong is Huan Wen's right-hand man, then Xi Chao is the nerve in Huan Wen's brain, his hesitation at this time, I am afraid that only Xi Chao can understand, his lifelong wish, I am afraid that only Xi Chao will support it with his bare hands.
"Big brother, you actually know, Yan Guoqi is not exhausted, it is impossible for you to attack Yecheng in one fell swoop and make meritorious deeds for all generations."
"Murong Chui's father and son, the people of the dragon and tiger, strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, and the fierce generals under the tent are like clouds, they are the copper wall on the Yan defense line, if we don't retreat, then the grain and grass will be exhausted, and we will be killed."
"Big brother, you have three Northern Expeditions in the past ten years, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been fighting one after another, and you have to ride 50,000 steps to annex Xi Su's soldiers and horses this time." Huan Chong paused, sighed a long sigh, and said heavily, "Big brother, retire from the army, and leave some men for the Eastern Jin Dynasty." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Huan Wen to scold, he had already withdrawn from the camp in advance, leaving Huan Wen alone to look at the sky outside the tent and be stunned.
Thousands of miles in the sky, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he Huan Wen didn't have a chance to come here.
He Huan Wen has been famous all his life, and his fame is shocking to the world, but the sons are talentless, but the only important brother Chong is loyal to the Jin family, and he goes against him, which is sad and pathetic.
Xi Chao, I'm not afraid that this time I will withdraw from the army and the results of the battle will be lost, but I am afraid that after a hundred years, all my life's foundation will be put into the river!
