After perfecting the plan for this encirclement and reinforcement with Chen Hoop and other military advisers, Li Cun left Han Bei to lead a battalion of horse troops to monitor those people and prisoners and continue to build siege equipment such as ladders and wooden curtains, creating the illusion that the Tiger Ben Army was also attacking the Gaoyou Army.

In addition, Li Cun also instructed Han Bei to let the war horse rest well and be smart.

After explaining that Han had said goodbye, Li Cun led the front army of the personal guard and the rest of the personal guard horse army to quietly withdraw in the direction of Tianshuipu under the cover of the night.

The Song army on the city wall, after discovering the movements of the tiger army, hurried to report to Tan Zhen.

Tan Zhi climbed up to the top of the city and took a look, and couldn't help but wonder: "The ant thief has withdrawn?" Or are you using some kind of machination? ”

Actually-

Tan Zhi also thought of it: "Should the ant thief ambush Wang Yu?" ”

If it was a commander who was bent on Zhao Song and had no selfish intentions, Tan Zhi should have sent some sentry agents to remind Wang Yu not to fall for Li Cun's ambush, regardless of whether there was such a possibility, and whether Wang Yu could be notified in the end.

But Tan Zhi hesitated again and again, and did not send a sentinel to remind Wang Yu.

First of all, and most importantly, Tan Zhi was very afraid that Wang Yu would not come back.

If that's the case, if he loses Tan Zhi in Zhenjiang, Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou in a row, and then loses Gaoyoujun, I'm afraid that even Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao won't be able to save him.

Moreover, if Wang Yu, who represents Tong Guan, is undefeated once, doesn't it seem that Tan Zhi himself is very incompetent?

Therefore, in Tan Zhen's opinion, Wang Yu must suffer a defeat, so that Tan Zhi can say to people, it's not that I, Tan Zhen, are too incompetent, but that Li Cun's thief is too cunning......

……

This rapid march to Tianshuipu embodied the good qualities of Li Cun's pro-guard front army and pro-guard horse army that were screened out of the hundreds of thousands of tiger army.

From Shao Bozhen to Gaoyou Army, a day walked nearly 100 miles, in the middle of the front guard army also went to attack Shenju Mountain, and now to Tianshuipu movement, it is more than 50 miles.

This strength is really not ordinary.

Some people may think that horseback riding is okay too.

But the problem is that except when fighting, Li Cun does not allow cavalry to ride horses - Li Cun must retain the physical strength of the war horse, lest the war horse will not have the strength to charge into battle after the war horse is on the battlefield.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Guards Horse Army also followed the infantry on the road, and the marching intensity was not at all less than that of the infantry army.

After the former army and the horse army came to Tianshuipu, it was almost dawn, and all the soldiers were tired enough.

Li Cun ordered to quickly rest, eat, drink, solve personal physiological problems, and feed the war horses with the grain he carried......

Li Cun's final choice of ambush location was the valley, the middle of the valley was relatively flat, and there was a long passage at the exit in the direction of Gaoyou's army, and this passage was flanked by two small hills.

After the men and horses of the Guards and Horses were rested, Li Cun asked Kong Cun to lead the Guards to ambush the Guards in a mountain near the valley, while Li Cun personally led the Guards Horse Army to ambush behind a mountain bag with a gentle slope runway that was farther away.

When he was about to reach the end of the day, Li Cun found through the clairvoyant mirror that more than 8,000 cavalry were running in the distance.

The generals who guarded the horse army heard Li Cun say that the enemy had really gone to Tianshuipu, and they all asked Li Cun with a look of surprise: "How does the metropolitan governor know that the Song army will go to Tianshuipu?" ”

Li Cun continued to observe the every move of this horse army with a clairvoyant mirror, and replied casually: "There are a lot of things here, when I have time, I will slowly tell you in detail, now I can only tell you, if I am allowed to choose, I will definitely choose to return from Tianshuipu to help." ”

In the end, Li Cun's voice became smaller and smaller.

After a while, Li Cun suddenly ordered: "Give Kong Tunzi an order." ”

The herald asked, "Is it to tell General Kong to prepare for battle?" ”

Li put down the clairvoyant mirror: "No, tell him to withdraw from the ambush circle immediately." ”

“？”

Everyone thought that there was something wrong with their ears, and the enemy was not coming, so why didn't they fight again?

Li Cun did not explain.

Seeing this, the herald could only give an order to Kong Suzi according to Li Cun's order.

On the other side, Kong Stunned, who was gearing up to do a big job, was very annoyed when he saw Li Cun's flag that he asked him to lead people to withdraw from the ambush circle.

But the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army all knew that Li Cun's military order could not be discounted at all, not to mention that he had not yet fought, but he was really fighting, even if his knife had already reached the throat of the enemy, Li Cun ordered the withdrawal of the army, and he had to take back the knife, in case Li Cun just didn't want him to kill this person, if he was smart, after he went back, not only would it be useless, but Li Cun would also cut off his head.

There was no way, Kong was stunned and could only reluctantly evacuate the ambush circle with the soldiers of the former army.

At the same time, Li Cun also withdrew from the ambush circle with the men and horses of the pro-Ma army.

Moreover, when evacuating, Li Cun also deliberately asked people to clean up the place where they were ambushing, and even asked people to pick up all the horse manure.

Soon after, a horse army suddenly entered the valley.

After entering the valley, the horse army immediately divided into two, and then went to the place where the former guard army and the horse army were ambushed separately.

The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army, who saw this scene from a long distance, all secretly exclaimed luck: "It's thanks to most of the governors who are like gods, otherwise our army will definitely return in vain in this battle." ”

After the Duma army was sure that there was no ambush in this valley, they withdrew from the valley again.

It was not long before the army of 8,000 horses was divided into sixteen battalions and passed through this not too long valley one by one.

Seeing that the Song general was so cautious, Li Cun couldn't help but say in his heart: "If I have such a bold and careful general under my command, why should I personally lead the army to stop the Song army from going south, I can even send him to lead a partial army to find a way to cross the Huai River defense line to harass the rear of Zhao and Song, and share the pressure of the Song army for myself." ”

Li Cun thought again: "I don't know who this general below is, can he be recruited by me?" ”

After the 8,000 horse army passed through this valley without danger and walked away, Li Cuncai returned to the previous ambush site with the personal guard horse army, and at the same time, Kong Suzi also led the personal guard army back to the ambush site of his department.

- The Tiger Ben army prepared to ambush the more than 12,000 infantry troops of the Song army behind them, and the baggage troops they guarded......
