Xiaozhong was very angry when he heard the report from the army, thinking that this Han Chan was so useless, so he had to order Gongsun to defend the city, personally lead 10,000 cavalry, and Xiao Li and Qin Yu rushed to meet the defeated Han Chan on the roundabout road of Jiuyuan Linrong.

It turned out that Han Chan was trapped in the valley, there were tribulus terrestris in front of him, and there were soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions after that, and the crossbowmen on the mountain kept firing arrows, this was a battle to the death! Xiaozhong sighed in his heart, and Qin Yu asked on the side: "Xiaozhong, save, do you want to save it?" ”

Xiaozhong said in an atmosphere: "This useless Han Chan, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, there are not many left. He raised his dragon tail sword and shouted: "Kill!" Immediately Xiaozhong led the soldiers and horses to bear the brunt, killing into the rear of the soldiers and horses in the Northern Regions, Qin Yu swayed freely with a long halberd, and the place where he passed was like chopping grass, killing Xiaozhong's side, and Xiao Li formed a right-hand arm together, fighting all the way to the bloody light Needless to say, he finally succeeded in breaking through, rescued Han Chan, and made a detour, but 10,000 cavalry suffered heavy losses, and Han Chan's soldiers and horses were left with little left, in case the night was long and dreamy, Xiaozhong took Han Chan's remnants back to Jiuyuan.

Back in Jiuyuan, Han Chan faced Xiaozhong shamelessly, buried his head in the chair and sighed, listening to Jin Xiaozhong's reprimand.

"Linrong is almost empty, why did he miss?" Xiaozhong asked angrily.

"It's almost an empty city, what does the general mean?" Han Chan suddenly raised his head and asked, "I was originally the defender of Cloud City, but you only let me," Han Chan complained, but when he saw Xiaozhong's angry eyes, he didn't dare to look directly, dodged, and said: "Only let me attack Lin Rong, who is almost empty, I, I don't accept it!" ”

"And then?" Xiaozhong asked in a low voice, "Then you will send people and soldiers to divide into two routes, one way to attack the city, and all the way to intercept and kill Shan Yu in the Northern Regions?" So, is this your ploy? Xiaozhong endured his anger, but Han Chan said again: "If the interception is successful, won't it-"

"If the interception is successful? How fierce are the soldiers and horses led by Shan Yu in the Northern Regions, and it took great effort for our main force to repel them, so why do you talk about intercepting and killing? Just a 'if the interception is successful', how many soldiers will be exhausted? ”

"No wonder you have been conscripted for years, which of those soldiers is not flesh and blood? Which is not the common people? Which is not a mother's child? You don't cherish it so much! Saying that the sword had been raised, and he really wanted to kill him, Han Chan's momentum was defeated and said, "It's just that the time is not good for me-"

"Han Chan!" Xiaozhong was furious, "You are self-serving!" Defiant! If not, how can we lose our glory? If Linrong is obtained, there will be no way back to the Northern Regions Shan Yu, and he will be defeated! And in this way, if you want to capture Linrong again, it is not easy to say! You are so ignorant and useless! As he spoke, the sword was already at his throat.

Linrong is the closest to the Northern Regions country, this time Shan Yu is defeated, and he will definitely gather elite troops in Linrong in a short time, Xiaozhong regrets his original decision even if he thinks about it, he really shouldn't let this Han Chan attack Linrong, I didn't expect him to be so overwhelmed.

Seeing that this Han Chan was still unrepentant, Gongsun Qi said beside him: "General Han, what if Xiaozhong doesn't save you today?" ”

Han Chan listened to Gongsun Qi's words, recalled being surrounded by the iron cavalry of the Northern Regions, the line of life and death, when Xiaozhong sacrificed his life to fight, he lowered his head again, I don't know if he was scolded and cried by Xiaozhong, or if his conscience found that he choked and said: "The last general has no way to lead the army, but the general repays his grievances with virtue, save me Han Chan and when he is in danger, the kindness of the general I Han Chan is unforgettable, and I am willing to listen to the general's dispatch in the future, and there will be no complaints." ”

Xiao Zhongxun was tired, and when he heard him say this, he let out a breath and withdrew his sword: "You go back to defend Cloud City." ”

"Huh?" Han Chan didn't understand Xiaozhong's thoughts, but Xiaozhong ignored him and had to say, "Yes, General." "Han Chan received the military order and went down.

Xiaozhong said to Gongsun Qi again: "This person really can't be reused, I didn't expect that he couldn't attack Linrong, which was almost empty, it was really infuriating, and now the plan has failed, and this Northern Regions Shan Yu will definitely be prepared." ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Qi didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Now that Jiuyuan has been garrisoned by our army, Cloud City is safe, so let him guard it." Xiaozhong said again: "Ziqing's injury must have been healed, plus Fushan, their two teams gathered elites, and I converged, we regrouped and fought again in the Northern Regions Shan Yu, this time I will personally take Shan Yu at the first level!" ”

Gongsun Qi clapped his hands and applauded, "When the young and aggressive teenager has grown up!" It seems that you can stand alone without my advice. "Let's go and brush my beard.

Xiaozhong chuckled lightly and said, "Over the years, Mr. has also been a teacher and a friend, and Xiaozhong is grateful. ”

"Hey, it's serious, it's the first time in your life that you call me sir, I'm not used to it, so I'm still calling it by my name." Gongsun Qi is also refreshing.

"As you said, Shan Yu soldiers and horses are fierce and difficult to attack, but you sent a surprise soldier that day, which is very interesting, and you were caught off guard by Shan Yu's soldiers and horses, let's listen to it."

"When I set out on the expedition, in order to preserve my strength, I ordered the Du family brothers Du Heng and Du Meng to each lead a team to bypass Jinyang and go straight to Jiuyuan, and ambush near Jiuyuan, so as to be silent, and when the time is ripe, suddenly appear, kill the Northern Regions by surprise."

"There are clouds in the art of war: those who are good at surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers. These tens of thousands of cavalry smashed the enemy's main troops, which is really wonderful. It's no wonder that the Huns will attack as you wish, it turns out that he thought that the Han soldiers and horses were only tens of thousands, but he never expected this surprise soldier from the sky! Hey, it's a pity that Han Chan really doesn't need it. ”

"Maybe he's not vulnerable, this person is stubborn, and he must not have done what I deployed."

"Hmm." Gongsun snorted.

Xiaozhong said again: "Gongsun Qi, if you succeed this time, I want you to go back to Beijing with me, and with your talent, long live will definitely reuse you." ”

Gongsun Qi shook his head and said, "Xiaozhong, you know that I am not in the temple. Like the last battle in Liangzhou, I took Xiao Li to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and I went out of the mountains when I was used. ”

Xiaozhong said again: "Isn't it good to use your talents to benefit more people, why do you want to live in seclusion in the wilderness?" Now that you're with me, haven't you broken the house rules? ”

Gongsun Qi said: "Hey—it's hard to say, it's good to still be like this now." ”

On this day, Fushan Ziqing really led two teams of people to Jiuyuan, Xiaozhong personally went out of the city to greet him, seeing Ziqing in good spirits, wearing armor, and in good spirits, he was relieved a lot, Ziqing got off the horse, came to Xiaozhong, and said: "Xiaozhong." ”

Xiaozhong said: "Good brother, I am like a tiger again." With that, he took Ziqing in his arms with one hand. patted Hu Fushan's shoulder again, and Fushan also bowed. Several people returned to the city to discuss how to deal with Lin Rong's Shan Yu.

Gongsun Qi said: "I have a plan. ”

Xiaozhong said: "Let's hear it." ”

Xiao Li had dealt with people from Shan Yu's royal court, and this time he could make Xiao Li take a few people to secretly enter Linrong City pretending to be from the Northern Regions, and do internal responses in Linrong City, so that we should cooperate inside and outside, so why not break Linrong.

"No!" After hearing this, Xiaozhong immediately denied Gongsun Qi's idea.

"This ......" Gongsun Qi was a little embarrassed.

Xiaozhong said: "Doing this is tantamount to letting Xiao leave and commit suicide." Xiao Li has been lonely since he was a child, and he was captured by the royal court of the Northern Regions and became a murderous puppet, and now he has finally gotten rid of the unbearable days in the royal court, how can he go back, the ghost clan Shan Yuding will not let Xiao Li go, and I will never let him take this risk again. ”

"But now, if you want to repeat the old trick, then the people of the Northern Regions must be prepared, and if you want to attack strongly, you will suffer heavy losses, so this method is the most suitable." Gongsun said.

At this time, Fushan looked at Ziqing, Ziqing also looked at Fushan, and Ziqing said: "Xiaozhong, Gongsun Qi's words do make sense." ”

Xiao Li, who was beside Xiaozhong, seemed to understand their conversation, and said awkwardly: "Xiaozhong, let me try!" ”

Xiao Zhong hurriedly said: "Xiao Li, when you sneaked into my camp and assassinated me, the reason why you were not killed by me is because you are the people of our Nine Domains, and now you are facing our old enemy, if you return to their hands, how can they let you go, I will never let you take this risk!" ”

He walked across from him and said, "Remember, your life is your own, and you must live well!" Xiao Li didn't dare to resist and quietly lowered his head.

Xiaozhong turned to everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter must not be mentioned again, and no one can act rashly without my order!" ”

"Whoa—" everyone said in unison.

Xiaozhong turned around and faced everyone again, and still insisted on saying: "The war cannot be dragged on any longer, and it must be resolved quickly." "Then he brought everyone to the sand table of the topographic map, pointed to the tower of Linrong City, and said, we can gather the strongest crossbowmen, cavalry, chariots, and powerful infantry formations, so that the fire attack is the main thing, and then the crossbowmen are used as cover, divided into two infantry divisions, respectively, from the top and bottom to attack, when the city gate is opened, the chariot cavalry can be put to use, and the enemy has a big battle."

But they didn't say anything.

Gongsun Qi only twisted his beard under his chin.

Xiaozhong ordered again: "Then rest the team, set off immediately, and fight quickly!" ”

"Whoa!"

However, when the team traveled a hundred miles at night, someone still came to report that Xiao Li was missing, Xiaozhong asked the others who were not there, and his subordinates responded that everyone else was there except Xiao Li.

"In the past, he absolutely listened to your arrangement, but this time it may be just to survey the terrain in advance." Gongsun said.

Xiaozhong couldn't rest assured in his heart, but the war was imminent, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were not child's play, so he could only hide this worry in his heart.

The brigade marched forward in an orderly manner.

It was not until midnight, when the sky was dawning, that the brigade was set up a little, rested a little, and then raised its troops to fight.

When the time came, Xiaozhong sent a team of crossbowmen, cavalry infantry, and trebuchets to carry torches and take the lead in advance. He also ordered Fushan and Ziqing to each lead a team to rush to the rear.

Unexpectedly, the brigade approached the foot of Rongcheng, and saw that the city was in chaos, and a team of men and horses was chasing and killing a person, and that person was Xiao Li under the careful look in front of the horse.
