Ten days later, north of Anseong.

The sky was full of dust, and a group of horsemen slowly marched towards Anseong.

There were about 10,000 people in this infantry cavalry team, including 2,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry troops.

At the front of the team, more than 2,000 infantry troops escorted more than 100 baggage carts, and after two or three miles of each other was a mixed infantry and cavalry army of 8,000 people.

In the middle of the brigade, a large banner with the word "Deng" fluttering in the wind, and in front of the banner, a middle-aged general wearing black armor and a national character face was staring at the front with deep eyes.

The middle-aged general is the younger brother of Emperor Deng of Xuanguo, Prince Luxian, Deng Zhe!

The other general who accompanied him was the newly appointed Nanfang Taishou Manchu.

At first, Emperor Deng did not pay much attention to this small group of rebels, but when he heard that Emperor Li sent Xu Han to lead a light horse to the south to lead the southern rebels, he realized the seriousness of the situation.

In the battle of Yunlin, Xu Han had left a deep impression on Emperor Deng, and after Xu Han arrived in the south, he was bound to pose a considerable threat to the Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Deng did not dare to underestimate it, and immediately ordered his kin, Deng Zhe, the prince of Luxian, to lead two thousand elite horsemen to withdraw from the main battlefield of Shanchun City to the south, and join Li Xian and Man Li, who were stationed in the south, to deal with Xu Han.

Prince Luxian is the first general of the Deng royal family, and he leads the elite cavalry, which shows that Emperor Deng attaches great importance to Xu Han.

In the rear of the brigade, two horsemen came from the dust, and it was General Li Xian.

"Prince, the army marches forward, and the grain and grass are carried first, and if the enemy is raided, will not the grain and grass fall into the hands of the enemy." Li Xian gasped with a worried face.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, Ben Shuai has his own opinions." Prince Luxian was calm and calm, without any vigilance.

Li Xian's eyes became more and more worried, and he couldn't help but persuade again: "Prince, Your Majesty has instructed us, that Xu Han should not be underestimated, is it a bit ...... for the prince to march like this?"

The word "careless", Li Xian didn't dare to say it.

Prince Luxian smiled faintly: "You want to say that Ben Shuai is careless, that's right, Ben Shuai is to be careless." ”

Li Xian's face showed a blank expression.

"General Li, go first, this is the prince's plan to lure the enemy, haven't you seen it yet?" Man Li next to him said with a smile.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized.

The gang of traitors in the south are mostly rebels, and the difference in military discipline of the rebels is recognized by the world, what are they best at? Isn't it just plunder?

"Not long after Xu Han first arrived in the south, it is naturally difficult to suppress these rebel armies in a short period of time, and when the 10,000 rebel troops see the baggage carts, they will definitely leave Xu Han's military orders behind them, and rush forward to snatch them, and at that time we will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, hehe."

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Li Xian finally understood, and couldn't help but show admiration on his face, and said to Prince Luxian: "The last general is stupid, I really didn't expect that the prince had already laid out such a clever plan. ”

Prince Luxian snorted coldly, his eyes looked in the direction of Ancheng, and his voice was cold: "This time, Ben Shuai will avenge the defeat of Yunlin in the first battle for the imperial brother, so that Xu Han will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Anseong North Gate.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses left the city one after another and marched along the avenue in the direction of the Xuan army.

As early as a few days ago, Ling Zirui's meticulous work all over the world brought back information about Prince Xuan Guoluxian's southward journey, so that Xu Han could prepare in advance.

Xu Han knew very well how strong this Prince Luxian was.

Prince Luxian fought for Emperor Deng in the south and north for more than 20 years, and when the Xuan Kingdom was not founded, he was the most courageous general under Emperor Deng, and he almost never tasted defeat in his life.

Such a famous player with an almost perfect record, Xu Han would never dare to despise it.

In fact, Xu Han didn't plan to fight to the death with the Xuan army, he originally wanted to expand the number of 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he avoided the enemy's edge, and went directly to Luoyang Prefecture City from the south, forming a temporary alliance with Han Zhaofu, the king of Han, and after gaining a firm foothold in Luoyang City, he would take the opportunity to seize Han Zhaofu's foundation.

However, Xu Han thought that if he went to Luoyang City like this, Han Zhaofu would still think that he was afraid of Xuanjun and fled to Luoyang City to seek refuge from him, and would despise him.

Therefore, Xu Han decided to fight a beautiful victory before leaving, and used a victory to show his strength, so that Han Zhaofu did not dare to underestimate it.

A scout rushed from the north, interrupting Xu Han's train of thought.

"Report to the general, I found the Xuan army fifteen miles ahead!"

Xu Han's nerves suddenly tensed, "How many soldiers and horses are there for the enemy, and how to deploy them?" ”

"The Xuan army has about 10,000 cavalry, 2,000 people escorting the baggage team in front, and 8,000 cavalry follows." Scout said.

"Report and probe." Xu Han waved his hand and retreated the scout.

Baggage team ahead? Aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to rob him of his grain and grass?

Prince Luxian has been fighting for many years and is familiar with the art of war, how could he make such a mistake? In Xu Han's mind, a series of questions quickly surfaced.

Ling Zirui next to him was squinting his eyes and sneering.

"Mr. Ling, Deng Zhe's march here is a little unusual, what do you think?" Xu Han asked.

Ling Zirui stroked his beard, his eyes were strange: "Didn't the general ask me before, do you have a clever plan to deal with the surnamed Zhang, now I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Killing two birds with one stone?"

Xu Han's spirit was shocked, and then he looked at Ling Zirui's expression, as if he had already made a plan, and he looked very proud.

"This old slippery head, I really have a ghost idea in my heart, looking at his proud appearance, I'm afraid he is waiting for me to ask him for advice......"

Seeing through Ling Zirui's thoughts, Xu Han did not rush to ask him for advice.

Killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone......

Xu Han repeated these four words in his heart, slanting at Ling Zirui's mysterious expression, wondering what the hell he had in his heart.

When he was thinking about it, he came over and shouted excitedly: "General Xu, I heard that the scouts have discovered the baggage team of the Xuan army, what are we waiting for, the general quickly ordered us to rob it." ”

Zhang Baihai shouted like this, Xu Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly understood what Ling Zirui's plan to kill two birds with one stone meant.

Deng Zhe was familiar with the art of war, how could he make the mistake of exposing the baggage team in front of the battle, he obviously did it on purpose, in order to induce his own army to go and rob it.

At that time, as soon as the formation is chaotic, Deng Zhe can take advantage of the chaos to wave his army to cover up and win.

Ling Zirui's plan to kill two birds with one stone is to let Zhang Baihai attack to grab the bait of the Xuan army, and borrow Deng Zhe's hand to take the opportunity to get rid of this disobedient rebel general, this is a bird.

When Deng Zhe and Zhang Baihai fought, he could lead the main force to take a detour to flank the enemy's rear and defeat Deng Zhe's army in one fell swoop.

"Okay, you Ling Zirui, you really have a bad stomach, and your plan is insidious, but it's a pity, it's not so easy to ask me to take the initiative to beg you."

Xu Han understood Ling Zirui's plan, the corners of his mouth slanted slightly, but he pretended to be excited and said: "General Zhang is reasonable, the general will order you to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack immediately, and go to rob the Xuan army of heavy grain and grass." ”

"The last will obey."

Zhang Baihai was overjoyed, and excitedly patted his horse away, thinking that he could be regarded as having a good errand, and he would have to pocket all the more than 100 truckloads of grain and grass, and not a single grain of rice would be distributed to others.

Zhang Baihai did not hesitate at all, for fear that Xu Han would take back his fate, or share this beauty with others, and return to his own army, Zhang Baihai ordered the four thousand chaotic army in his headquarters and galloped towards the Xuan army in the north.

Xu Han's heart was sneering.

Zhang Baihai has a few catties and a few taels, and his 4,000 chaotic army has a few combat strengths, Xu Han is very clear.

Even if the elite army led by Xu Han was attacked by Deng Zhe when the sergeant was lured by the burden and the chaos was not in formation, he was not too sure about turning defeat into victory, let alone the rabble led by Zhang Baihai.

Looking at the dust raised in front of him, Xu Han glanced back at Ling Zirui, at this moment, this strategic, strategic, was looking at Xu Han with a surprised look.

Ling Zirui's eyes were clearly surprised, Xu Han understood his plan to kill two birds with one stone so easily, and he implemented it without hesitation, without the slightest bit of mud and water.

Xu Han's resourcefulness and decisiveness once again gave Ling Zirui a deep shock.

In addition to being shocked, Ling Zirui was a little disappointed in his eyes because Xu Han didn't give him a chance to show it.

A horse galloped over, it was Zhou Liang.

"General, Zhang Baihai's military discipline is extremely poor, and the last general is only afraid that he will rob the grain alone, and he will definitely take everything he has into his own."

Zhou Liang didn't even have time to restrain his mount, so he spoke to Xu Han loudly and worriedly.

Xu Han smiled faintly: "Don't worry, if you win this battle, the baggage of more than 100 cars will definitely be half of you." ”

Xu Han's bearing was indifferent and confident, and his calm demeanor seemed to be under his control.

Although Zhou Liang was still suspicious, he was gradually infected by Xu Han's style of a general, and he couldn't help but have a little more respect for this famous general from Yi Country.

"The soldiers and horses are pausing to advance, and let's see how our General Zhang makes meritorious contributions."

Xu Han raised his long knife and said loudly.
