In the Yanmen Pass of Bingzhou, Zhao Zhao suddenly led 10,000 Zhao cavalry to enter the pass at night.

When Fan Qi, the guard of Yanmen, got the news, Zhao Zhao was already waiting for Fan Qi in the Guannei Mansion.

Fan Qi is a veteran of the Zhao family, and he is quite convinced of Zhao Youzhi, and at first he was quite expecting Zhao Zhao to lead the Zhao family to regain its strength.

But since Zhao Zhao of Taihang Mountain was beaten in embarrassment, Fan Qi wrote to Zhao Zhao of Jinyang many times, hoping that he could go out to attack Western Qin and frustrate Western Qin's sharp spirit, but the letters were all lost in the sea.

Seeing Zhao Zhao coming to Yanmen in person today, Fan Qi thought that Zhao Zhao had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, so he said quite arrogantly: "Lord Assassin Shi is here, I don't know what to see." ”

Zhao Zhao was not annoyed, but said: "I came here today, there is indeed something, but I am afraid that I can't enter General Fan's hope, this commander is not here to ask the teacher, but to deploy military strategy." ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Zhaolai deploy the military strategy, Fan Qi was even more disdainful, and said after a cold snort: "Is the marshal here to teach the last general how to be afraid of death?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhao's face changed, and he said with a heavy face: "In the past, Taihang was defeated, how can I not be ashamed, the reason why I can't retreat, but there is another deep meaning." ”

Fan Qi thought that Zhao Zhao was quibbling, so he kept silent, but just motioned for Zhao Zhao to continue.

Zhao Zhao sorted out his heart for a while, and then said: "I can't hide it, although my Hezhou army is majestic, but after the first battle of Taihang, most of the cavalry lost, and there was no time to move westward, and I couldn't outrun Han Jiu'er's cavalry, so I was able to clear the wilderness, block the road, and protect the territory and the people." However, the disaster and famine in Western Qin are serious, Han Jiu'er is in a military town, and there is not much fertile land, so he is determined to come to plunder us, and now that Western Qin and the Turks are united, they must borrow roads from the Turks, and I have been preparing for this for a long time. ”

Fan Qi suddenly became interested at this time, and immediately came up and asked, "I don't know what the son's plan is?" ”

Hearing that Fan Qi changed his title from Thorn History to Gongzi, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, and then said confidently: "Yao Qin, the county seat of Daijun, is my confidant, and now he has gone to Saiwai to surrender to the Turks. ”

Fan Qi's face remained unchanged, he knew that since Zhao Zhao said so, he must have a backhand.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhao then said: "But Yao Qin was instructed by me to go to the Turks to surrender, and I urgently need a big victory now to calm the hearts of the army and the people of the state, so I plan to lead the Turks to Daijun, and we set up an ambush in advance on the road to annihilate the Turkic army in one fell swoop." ”

Fan Qi looked at the map at this time, and also felt that this plan was good, and it was a good way to do mental calculations or not.

Zhao Zhao suddenly clenched his fists at this time, and said fiercely: "But I got the latest news, my spies in the west told me that Han Jiu'er recently led the troops to Saiwai, if my guess is correct, Han Jiu'er must be united with the Turks, wanting to plunder from Yanmen to the south, Yao Qin should have returned to Daijun, but he has not returned for a long time, I think there must be something wrong,"

Fan Qi frowned slightly at this time, held the spear in his hand, and asked tentatively: "What does Childe mean that Yao Qin has been recognized?" ”

Zhao Zhao was noncommittal, but he still sighed worriedly: "I don't know, it may be that the plan will be calculated, this matter is top secret, but now the situation is unknown, I have to come here in person." ”

Zhao Zhao was pacing back and forth in the palace at this time, sometimes stopping, sometimes walking quickly.

"Now there are only more than 10,000 iron horsemen of the Zhao family around me." Speaking of this, Zhao Zhao couldn't help but have tears falling, and cried and said: "I regret that I shouldn't have been impulsive that day and sent 30,000 elites into the tiger's mouth, the family wealth left by my father is not much now, and the Yanmen garrison in the hands of General Fan is the last elite of the Zhao family." ”

Fan Qi is also sad at the moment, most of the soldiers and generals who died in Taihang Mountain are also Fan Qi's robes, everyone followed Zhao Youzhi to rebel against Beiyan in Bingzhou Dai County, and then after being incorporated by Yuan Jian, everyone changed from peasant army bandits to regular army, after Zhao Youzhi married Princess Changqing, the weight of the state army in the imperial court became heavier and heavier.

Recalling the past, the fun of the Bingzhou Army was to eat and sleep and fight Shanhu, Shanhu was defeated, Zhao Youzhi also died, and the soul of the Bingzhou Army was gone.

Fan Qi suddenly became excited at this time, and said loudly: "What do you have to say, despite the arrangement, Fan and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command are willing to fight for Gongzi!" ”

Zhao Zhao was also infected, and said: "With General Fan's words, I am relieved, now the Turks are definitely going south, and they will definitely bypass Yanmen at that time, no matter whether Yao Qin's fraudulent surrender is successful or not, their purpose is to plunder the population and wealth." ”

Zhao Zhao pointed to a mountain col at this time and said: "Now they all think that I am in Jinyang and dare not fight, so General Fan will let them go through Yanmen at that time, and then lead the troops to pursue in the back, only defeat but not victory, gather the troops, repeatedly launch attacks, delay time, and make the cronies and generals detour to ambush here, and I will also lead people to ambush here." ”

Fan Qi carefully looked at the ambush position arranged by Zhao Zhao, but still said worriedly: "There is nothing wrong with Gongzi's arrangement, but how can you be sure that they will definitely go here?" ”

"This is the closest to Dai County, the general led the army to pursue, proving that the defenders of Yanmen have the heart to fight, but the strength is insufficient, and it is more solid that no one dares to fight for me in the state now, and now the people of the state look down on me, even if Ashina Dada is cautious, he will inevitably be fooled, and I am sure that I am unpopular in the state, but the words of the people cannot be occupied left and right, as long as the army supports me, then ambush the troops here, save the troops when the general pursues, and when the time comes, you need to cut off the enemy's retreat."

Fan Qi clasped his hands together at this time and said generously: "The last general will not be dishonored." ”

Ashina Dada and Han Jiu'er really sent troops south the next day, and the two sides marched all night and rushed to Yanmen County.

Yao Qin was also out of the army, and informed Ashina Dada of some military strongholds near Yanmen, and Ashina Dada led his troops to sneak attack at night, and he returned with a great victory.

After Fan Qi in the gate got the news of the defeated soldiers, he knocked on Zhao Zhao's door as soon as possible.

Zhao Zhao hadn't gone to bed at this time, and when he saw Fan Qi so flustered, he hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Fan Qi informed Zhao Zhao of the Turks' sneak attacks on his three strongholds at night.

Zhao Zhao thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, it proves one thing, Yao Qin is still in the Turkic army. ”

Fan Qi is straight, and immediately slapped the table and scolded: "Is Yao Qin really a traitor seeking glory?" Surrender to real surrender? ”

Zhao Zhao also couldn't make up his mind, but then shook his head: "I don't think so, the general also knows that the backbone of the Zhao family's iron cavalry is the surname of Daijun, among which the surname Yao is very important, so many clansmen died in Taihang, how could he easily go out of the garden, if I think well, Yao Qin must have deliberately let the Turks attack these camps, just to inform us that he is still in the army." ”

Zhao Zhao sat cross-legged on the couch at this time, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "His move must be to win the trust of the Turks, the general must not hesitate, immediately lead the army to attack the Turks, and after a short battle, he will immediately retreat to Yanmen to test the truth." ”

Fan Qi was about to take the order to go out, but Zhao Zhao suddenly said: "The general is divided into two armies, one army in front and one army in the rear. ”

Fan Qi had no other way at this time, so he had to follow Zhao Zhao's words, and the whole army went out of Yanmen and headed towards the barracks.

When the army arrived, it happened to encounter the Turkic army plundering the local people, and without saying a word, Fan Qi ordered the army to attack the chaotic Turks.

Most of the Turkic cavalry had not mounted their horses at this time, but were only plundering property, and suddenly encountered the army of Bingzhou, and they were unable to resist at all, so they had to retreat one after another.

Fan Qi remembered Zhao Zhao's words at this time, so he ordered the rear army to keep a distance of three miles from the front army, and at the same time divided two thousand cavalry to pursue the Turkic army, and personally led the Chinese army to follow from afar.

At this time, Han Jiu'er's cavalry had been lying in ambush in the distance, and Ashina Dada looked at Yao Qin and said, "Is Mr. Yao sure that Fan Qi will come here?" ”

Yao Qin said affirmatively: "Fan Qi is brave and unstrategic, and he often takes the lead in battle, and he will definitely come here." ”

Although he said so, Yao Qin hoped that Fan Qi would not go deep alone, he sold three camps to the Turks, just to win the trust of the Turks, and then he said Fan Qi's combat habits, hoping that the Turks would lay an ambush here, just to make the play realistic.

But this move was too risky, and he was also betting that Zhao Zhao's only available army at this time was the Yanmen army, so he would personally go to Yanmen to join forces with Fan Qi.

If Zhao Zhao didn't go to Yanmen to join forces with Fan Qi, then Fan Qi would be really dangerous, and he would also become a sinner through the ages.

Sure enough, after the Yanmen army pursued for more than ten miles, Yao Qin suddenly said: "The Yanmen vanguard has pursued here, and Fan Qi will definitely be behind, so that the Turkic cavalry can retreat for a few miles, and then turn around to fight." ”

Han Jiu'er is also a famous general, and he understood Yao Qin's meaning at once, the army turned back to fight, and when Fan Qi came out, he would definitely lead the army into battle, Yao Qin recognized Fan Qi, but he won the battle.

Then Han Jiu'er nodded to Ashina Dada, Ashina Dada understood, and then ordered to wave the flag on the mountain.

After retreating for several miles, the Turkic army suddenly turned around and charged the Yanmen army.

Although the Yanmen army was brave, it was at a disadvantage in numbers and gradually lost its support, and it was at this time that Fan Qi rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing that his people had been gradually suppressed by the Turkic army, he had already guessed that the Turks were using a plan, but he decided to take a gamble, so he led his army into battle.

Yao Qin secretly slapped her thigh at this time, and scolded secretly: "This puppet, such an obvious ambush plan, is still going to be on it, what should I do now." ”

Han Jiu'er's army was already in battle at this time, and he was about to charge when Han Jiu'er gave an order.

Han Qi'er immediately turned his attention to Yao Qin, Yao Qin was needed to identify the enemy general, the Yanmen army had a lot of people, and most of them were cavalry, it was not realistic to want to annihilate them all, and the beheading plan was the most feasible.

Yao Qin immediately pretended to wait and see, and said, "It's too dark, I really can't tell the difference." ”

Han Jiu'er also came to his senses at this time, if it was too late today, it would be really embarrassing for Yao Qin to see it clearly at such a distance.

Yao Qin suddenly thought at this time that Fan Qi usually likes to use axes, so several of his lieutenants are also infected by him and like to use axes, so he immediately said: "Fan Qi uses axes on weekdays, and the army can rush to kill those holding giant axes." ”

Han Jiu'er understood, and immediately ordered the cavalry of his headquarters to charge.

Seeing that a large number of cavalry were rushing towards him, Fan Qi knew that the ambush had appeared, and immediately ordered the soldiers to let the rear army speed up the march and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

The Yanmen army stood with the Western Qin army in an instant, and under the enemy's back, the Yanmen army was defeated and retreated, and Fan Qi consciously let the army retreat.

Seeing that Fan Qi had a posture of retreating, Han Jiu'er couldn't sit still, and immediately led the remaining cavalry to attack.

Yao Qin was worried that once these cavalry attacked, Fan Qi might lose, so he immediately dissuaded: "General can't, if Fan Qi has a backhand, wouldn't it be too dangerous for the remaining three thousand cavalry to be exhausted." ”

Han Jiu'er patted his armor and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say that Fan Qi was brave and unscrupulous?" Now that he has divided his troops, he must be the main forces, so how can he have the heart to divide his troops. ”

Yao Qin quibbled: "Although Fan Qi is brave and unscrupulous, not all of his subordinates are mediocre, and it is not impossible to keep a backhand." ”

When Han Jiu'er was puzzled, a spies suddenly came to report that a large number of Eastern Qin troops were found a mile away, numbering no less than 20,000, and they were rushing to the battlefield.

At this time, in the center of the battlefield, Fan Qi was fighting, and he heard the Western Qin army shouting: "The one holding the giant axe is Fan Qi, kill Fan Qi first." ”

When Fan Qi heard this, he knew it in his heart, and he quietly dodged on his horse, and then threw the giant axe to the guards, and replaced the weapon in his hand with a spear.

Although his spear is not as good as an axe, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that this is Yao Qin reporting the news, because his most notable features are his bald head and beard.

At this time, the rear army of the Yanmen army came, and began to respond to Fan Qi's retreat, the rear army of the Yanmen army not only had cavalry, but also had strong bows and crossbows, and after the front army of Yanmen retreated, the strong crossbows of the Yanmen army began to block the cavalry of the Turks and Western Qin.

Seeing this situation, Yao Qin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and was sure that Zhao Zhao must have noticed it and arrived at Yanmen in advance, so the plan could be implemented.

At this time, he thoughtfully reminded: "The harvest has been quite abundant, and it is not appropriate to pursue." The weapon used by the Yanmen army was a sky-breaking crossbow from the Southern Qi Dynasty, which was extremely powerful, but several arrows could be fired at the same time, and most of the Turkic cavalry had no armor, and they suffered heavy losses under the salvo. ”

Ashina Dada also found out at this time, so he ignored Han Jiu'er and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Han Jiu'er wanted to continue the pursuit, after all, his cavalry was armored, but seeing that the main Turkic force had retreated, his 20,000 cavalry who followed Qiu Feng could not block the target, so he also ordered the withdrawal of troops.

When it was dawn, the Turks counted the harvest, and it was really rich, so Ashina Dada was even more convinced of Yao Qin, and he always asked Yao Qin more about his future march, but he snubbed Han Jiu'er.
