The bright morning glow dyed the earth red, as if mourning for the Great Wei soldiers and Zhang Guo who died yesterday, and Li You led the Jiazhou army to escort the Hedong thief army back to their camp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The two of you also ask for condolences and change." At the gate of the camp, Li You looked at Luo Shiji and Qin Shixin and comforted, "Now that the strong enemy is looking around, it is not the time to be sad, I have ordered Mr. Xu to return to the camp to prepare medicines and doctors for you, presumably it will not take long to get here, in addition to incense candles and other things, when you set up the spiritual position, I will also come to put a stick of incense for Lord Zhang." ”

"If it weren't for Jiazhou's righteous help this time, we would have been wiped out." Luo Shiji thanked him, "Don't thank you for your great kindness, after that, Jiazhou Bo will be useful, and I, Luo Shiji, and the Hedong thief army will not dare to refuse, even if they are broken." ”

"I have always admired Ambassador Zhang's personality as a courtier, but I was not decisive enough to stop Ambassador Zhang's actions, and I am really ashamed." Li You said, "Okay, I fought all night last night, the soldiers are tired, now is not the time to speak, you better have dinner and rest early, I will visit later; This place is not far from the army of the Northern Captives, and perhaps there will be a big battle in these two days. ”

After that, Li You took Sima Cuo and Pan Feng to command the army to leave slowly, and returned to the Jiazhou army camp not far from Zhang Guo's camp.

"In this battle, my Jiazhou army suffered more than 1,000 cavalry and hundreds of foot soldiers, and only 12,000 horses were left of the 30,000 thieves in Hedong, and Zhang Guo, the ambassador of Hedong thieves, was shot and killed by Yuan Zhang." Soon the results of the battle were counted, and Sima mistakenly said, "Since it is night, it is difficult to say the specific damage of the northern captives, but it is speculated that they have suffered thousands of casualties when they surrounded and annihilated the thief army in Hedong, and the Jiazhou army led by Jun Shang broke into the enemy formation, and there were also many casualties, and the total of the two was more than 10,000; I have ordered the Black Ice Observatory to go and verify, and I believe that the exact number will be available within three days. ”

"If it weren't for the lord leading the army to break the siege, I'm afraid that less than a thousand of these 30,000 troops would have returned." Pan Feng interjected, after so many wars, his military strategy is also growing.

"At this time, it is a good time to subdue the Hedong thief army, although there are less than half of the Hedong army left, but these are the elite of a hundred battles, there are not many strong troops like this in the Great Wei, if they can be recovered, their strength will definitely increase greatly." Li Lingyue thought about another question, "Because of Zhang Guo's incident, the Hedong army must have been very disappointed in the imperial court, and you have a life-saving grace for them, presumably as long as you give a little signal, they will come over." ”

"If you mention it right away, it will be too deliberate, but it will fall behind." Li You didn't have such thoughts, but he just felt that Li Lingyue's method was wrong, "Now that Ambassador Zhang has been martyred, and the imperial court will not reassure them after this incident, they should find another way out when they calm down." With the talents of Luo Shiji and Qin Shixin, it is not difficult to make the right choice. ”

Now the Hedong thief army is facing two problems, the first is how to protect itself and let the Hedong thief army continue to survive; The second is to avenge Zhang Guo, and who else can satisfy their two purposes besides Li You? Now there are several waves of forces around the capital, the imperial court, the northern captives, the Qinwang army from all over the country, and perhaps there are still rioters in farther places; Among these forces, the Beiyu and the imperial court have a common enmity with the Hedong thief army, unless the imperial court is willing to kill the high-ranking officials who betrayed Zhang Guo to correct their name, otherwise Luo Shiji and Qin Shixin will definitely not defect to them; And they have swept away countless rebels before, and this force will not be their target; As for the other Qinwang troops, firstly, they did not have the food to feed the 10,000-strong army, and secondly, they did not dare to anger the imperial court, so there was only Li You, who had reached out to help many times before.

Li Lingyue nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Li You's opinion, but she still reminded, "Now that the situation around the capital is changing, these things still have to be determined as soon as possible, if it drags on for a long time, it will be difficult to say if there will be changes in the future." ”

"Well, I know, I'll go to their camp and put a stick of incense on Zhang Guo later." Li You nodded yes, but it's a pity that Zhang Guo's body is still in the hands of Beiyu, and if he wants to set up a spiritual sacrifice, he can only use his clothes.

"After this battle, the northern captives will definitely be more vigilant against us, and now that the location of the camp is still closer to the northern captive army, it is better to move the camp of the northern army back in case of unforeseen circumstances." Sima Cuo suggested that although tens of thousands of northern captives were killed and wounded last night, for the 200,000 army, this damage was not worth mentioning. Li You now has less than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the situation is not optimistic if their whole army comes to attack.

"Let's do this according to Mr. Sima's wishes, the army retreated twenty miles and re-encamped, and released the scouting horse to keep an eye on the movements of the northern captives." However, Li You still felt that the chances of the northern captives coming to attack in a big way were not very large, "Now the main target of the northern captives is still the capital, if a large army is sent to attack us, there will be a loophole in the encirclement of the capital, and it is unlikely that they will lose a big deal because of a small one." ”

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent only 50,000 troops to ambush Zhang Guo last night, "After this battle, our Jiazhou army will no longer seek a head-on duel with the northern captives, and release more exploration horses to track out and sweep the scattered troops around, and lead the army to annihilate at every opportunity." "Li You's current strength is still too weak after all, he can't compete with the 200,000 army head-on, he can only cut off their branches and leaves first, of course, if he finds a suitable opportunity, he doesn't mind annihilating a 10,000-strong army of northern captives.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Sima Coo nodded yes, and then went out to find Zhou Bofu, Pan Feng and other middle-level officers to arrange tasks, Li You also stood up, "I will go to visit the injured soldiers first, and then I will go to the camp of the Hedong thief army to incense Zhang Guo." ”

Li Lingyue stayed alone in the tent and began to sort out her contacts in the capital, to see who could play a role at the moment, and how Xue Shao and the others who were hiding around King Fu would act if there was a big change in the capital in the future.

After inspecting the wounded barracks, sending greetings and encouragement to every wounded soldier, it was already noon when everything was done, Li You, who had been fighting all night, could not rest at this time, he stepped on the Zhulong horse again, and took Pan Feng and a team of cavalry to the camp of the Hedong thief army.
