Baili Yuan's letter caused a lot of controversy in the Eastern Qi court, and the court was divided into three factions, which were noisy and endless.

One faction thinks that Baili Yuan's suggestion is right, Qi Jing dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to block and eliminate Li Yunyi's army, and the general trend is still in Eastern Qi, and the war against Southern Chu still has an absolute advantage. Therefore, many courtiers suggested that the soldiers should be quick and not allow the 300,000 troops to cause trouble in the territory of Eastern Qi.

The other faction resolutely disagreed, their reasons were very good, Yuan Hao's 200,000 troops could not be stopped, and the 300,000 troops of Southern Chu only lost more than 10,000, but Yuan Wan was almost completely annihilated. What if Qi Jing dispatched 300,000 cavalry? What is the difference between 300,000 and 200,000? If these 300,000 cavalry are also destroyed, then the army of Southern Chu will come straight to Qi Jing, and Qi Jing will fall.

Qijing is the capital of Eastern Qi, even if it is evacuated early, the fall of Qijing will be a great blow to the morale of the Eastern Qi army, and a bad one will lead to the destruction of Eastern Qi.

There are also people who attack and annihilate and say that Bailiyuan may have colluded with Southern Chu, otherwise how could the 300,000 army enter the territory of Eastern Qi silently. This must have been deliberately put in by Bailiyuan, and even Yuan Wan's army was defeated so badly because of Bailiyuan's arrangement.

Maybe Baili Yuan colluded with the high-level leaders of Southern Chu to let these 300,000 troops come in to attack Qijing and destroy the royal family. Now Baili Yuan has eighty percent of the army of Eastern Qi, and once there is a problem with the royal family, he can directly ascend the throne with his troops and become the emperor of Eastern Qi.

There is also a group of neutral conservatives who think they will wait and see. Anyway, it's not a big deal to kill some people, the 300,000 troops are still far from Qijing, let's see their whereabouts before deciding.

Zhao Rui, the emperor of Eastern Qi, is forty-nine years old and is also a great grandmaster, this age is when he is in the prime of life, and he is also a person with great ambitions. He reigned for twenty years, and during these twenty years, the national strength of Eastern Qi continued to increase, and this war was completely led by him.

The court meeting was noisy for a long time, and he finally chose the advice of the third faction and waited and saw first. Directly send troops to fight, it may not be able to be destroyed, in case this army really unites with Baili Yuan, it will be able to threaten his imperial power at that time.

The main thing is that a minister's words stung him, 300,000 troops are not 30,000, and they actually broke through the defense line and entered the territory of Eastern Qi so easily, and Baili Yuan didn't notice it, which is very weird. If it weren't for the fact that the commander of this army was particularly powerful, it must have been Baili Yuan's concealment.

Anyway, these 300,000 troops can't run away in the territory of Eastern Qi, what does it matter to Zhao Rui to kill some people and destroy some cities? It's just a few numbers, and they can't shake the country's foundation.

Of course!

Zhao Rui was not without moves, he ordered to draw troops from several major vassal states, and some troops from all over the country, and a total of four or five hundred thousand troops were mobilized to Li Yunyi's side. These armies were basically not cavalry, and they were mobilized to garrison the big city and restrain the 300,000 cavalry to continue eastward. In addition, Qi Jing's Grandmaster mobilized a lot of the past and jointly intercepted it.

Li Yunyi led the army without stopping, rushing during the day and finding a place to repair at night. The towns and cities passing by were all devastated, the grain was all robbed, and the food consumption of the 300,000 army was huge, and there was no way to sustain it without looting.

The robbery will certainly not be civilized robbery, and it is inevitable that many civilians will be killed, and the troops passing through the towns will be washed in blood, and there will be no one left. Fortunately, Li Yunyi suppressed the army and told them not to kill indiscriminately, let alone commit adultery, otherwise they would be dealt with by military law and directly beheaded.

Once indiscriminate killing or adultery, the discipline of the army will deteriorate and it will easily become uncontrollable. Being in the hinterland of an enemy country, the army cannot be controlled, and it is self-defeating. Therefore, Li Yunyi strictly stopped it, and killed hundreds of sergeants who violated the iron law.

Li Yunyi led the army not to the north, but to the east!

This made the generals very puzzled, now that there was no army in front to intercept them, they could take a detour from the north back to the territory of Southern Chu. If you are stopped and there are pursuers behind you, you will find yourself in a very dangerous situation. Moreover, Bailiyuan can mobilize a large army to return to reinforcements again, and if hundreds of thousands of troops are mobilized back, they will be unable to fly.

Li Yunyi didn't say it through Xiong Jun, but explained it to them directly. The longer they stay in the territory of Eastern Qi, it will also be beneficial to Ye Xiangfo's side. They are heading north now, and the hundred miles of Yuan may send an army in a straight line to intercept them, and they may not be able to go back at that time.

And they were wandering around the territory of Eastern Qi, and it was impossible for Ye Xiangfo not to react at all. As soon as Ye Xiangfo's side starts, it will contain the main army of Eastern Qi, and it will not be too late for them to go back at that time.

Although everyone thought that what Li Yunyi said was reasonable, they always felt frightened and uneasy. This is their main domestic cavalry, and if they are destroyed here, it will be a huge loss for their country.

Everyone has their own little Jiujiu, for Nan Chu to fight, but if Nan Chu is not sure that they can win, but they have lost their capital, they will naturally respond in their hearts.

The army ran all the way, and Zhang Fengming led an army of 400,000 to chase all the way. But Li Yunyi and the others rest for a few hours every day, and the rest of the time they are on the road, and Zhang Fengming's army also has to rest, so it is impossible to chase after them day and night. In this case, I will die of exhaustion before I can catch up with them.

Li Yunyi's army rushed all the way towards Qijing, which attracted the attention of the entire Eastern Shenzhou. Qi Jing has 500,000 troops, and the nearby cities can also draw more than 100,000 troops, is Li Yunyi going to die with 300,000 troops?

Many people in Southern Chu remembered a previous battle from this scene, Li Yunyi's battle in Cai State. They feel very familiar with each other, and the bright coach is Xiong Jun, a general under Li Yunyi, and many children of the Southern Chu clan think that Xiong Jun has inherited Li Yunyi's tactics, madman's tactics!

Ten days passed quickly!

At dusk on this day, Ye Xiangfo once again sent three flying beasts to scatter tens of thousands of handwritten letters in the Dongqi camp. These handwritten documents contain a piece of information.

Intelligence shows that Li Yunyi's 300,000 troops have reached Qijing, and outside Qijing, they have inflicted heavy losses on Qijing's 300,000 cavalry, preparing to attack Qijing in these two days.

This information is clearly false!

And it was very fake, because according to the schedule, Li Yunyi's army could not have arrived in Qijing so quickly. This is something that many high-ranking generals know. The problem is that the sergeants of Eastern Qi don't understand, there has been no news of the destruction of the 300,000 troops of Southern Chu in the past few days, and rumors have spread in the army, and the entire military camp has been blown up when these tens of thousands of handwritten letters come.

Lao Jin went to tell Baili Yuan for the first time, Bai Liyuan glanced at it, sneered and said: "Is Ye Xiang Buddha Qian's donkey skills exhausted?

Bai Liyuan threw away the handwriting, and then began to write an announcement, this kind of rumor is too low-level, he can solve it by writing a notice casually. He quickly wrote a notice, threw the letter to Lao Jin, and asked him to arrange for someone to go to the major military camps to post it.

Lao Jin went down, Baili Yuan no longer paid attention to this matter and continued to deal with military affairs. Because of Li Yunyi and them, the grain and grass here are a little nervous now, and he must try his best to mobilize grain and grass from all over the country, otherwise the confrontation will not last long, let alone attacking.

After dealing with military affairs for a while, he suddenly remembered something, threw away his pen, and his face became gloomy. He stood up and paced, and after walking a few steps, he roared, "Come on, pass on the old gold!"

The soldiers rushed quickly, and after a stick of incense, Lao Jin hurriedly walked over, and as soon as he came in, Baili Yuan shouted: "Lao Jin, Ye Xiangfo may attack the camp, you immediately go to inform the battalions and take strict precautions." If you attack the camp, stop me, and you must not be defeated. ”

"Ah...... Yes!"

Seeing Baili Yuan's solemn expression, Lao Jin didn't dare to say anything more and immediately hurried down to make arrangements.

"Dashuai—"

Just after a stick of incense, Lao Jin rushed in and said urgently: "Marshal, the northern camp has been attacked, and the enemy army will dispatch at least 500,000. General Li urgently asked for help and asked the marshal to send troops over, otherwise his side would not be able to withstand it. ”

"Sure enough......"

Baili Yuan's face became more solemn, he did not rush to dispatch troops, but looked at the sand table on the table and groaned, after a moment he ordered: "The whole army of the middle camp retreats, go to Yuzui Mountain, you let the north camp fight and retreat, and the south camp pulls out the camp to support the north camp, if the south camp is also attacked, you let both battalions retreat while fighting, and withdraw troops to Yuzui Mountain." ”

"Withdraw?"

Lao Jin's face changed slightly, and he asked: "Marshal, we have a lot of arrangements around here, once we evacuate the arrangements, it will be useless, and it will be a very big blow to the morale of the army." ”

"Idiot!"

Bai Liyuan reprimanded angrily: "Ye Xiangfo just spread the rumor, and the morale of the sergeant is already very weak. If you fight hard now, you will lose a lot if you die. Let's evacuate first, Yuzui Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, block this wave of attacks, and then counterattack is not too late. Don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool in war. Go ahead, carry out the military order. ”

Lao Jin went down to give the order, and the Chinese army quickly rose up and evacuated towards Yuzui Mountain as quickly as possible. Nanying's side was also attacked, and Ye Xiangfo dispatched most of the army to storm the two wings of the Eastern Qi army, leaving the Chinese army of Eastern Qi alone.

Bailiyuan led the Chinese army to retreat, the two wings were naturally not opponents, and they were defeated and retreated, this battle was fought all night, and at dawn the north and south battalions withdrew to Yuzui Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed out of Yuzui Mountain to respond, and the Southern Chu army immediately retreated.

Both sides suffered losses on both sides in this battle, and the losses on the Eastern Qi side were more serious, with 50,000 or 60,000 dead and wounded sergeants. Southern Chu lost 20,000 or 30,000 and successfully forced the Eastern Qi army back for 80 miles, which was a great victory.

Ye Xiangfo did not personally command this battle, he has been living in the White Tiger City, he received the news and bowed slightly: "Baili Yuan is really a famous general in the Eastern Qi, if we fight to the death last night, we may kill more than ten or two hundred thousand troops, and at least three or four hundred thousand will die on his side." However, the general trend is already on our side, as long as Li Yunyi and them are not destroyed, we will win this battle. ”
