"Your Majesty, Yue Shaobao personally led the troops to drag the soldiers and horses in front of Pu from the front, and General Jing and General Ba led the divisions to break through the blockade of Pu front, and I think I will be able to reach Xiping County in a few days!"

Yuanfu wiped the sweat from his face and brought good news.

Yue Shaoqian had already sent troops, and two other divisions, Banihan and Jing Daorong, broke into Runan County.

At least one of the troops will arrive.

"What happened to Di Han, Hou Junyan and the others I sent to attack the cities of Jingbei before?"

Liu Ke asked about the situation of the main army again.

Yue Shaoqian's soldiers and horses have been fighting Jiangxia, and after receiving the news after fighting Jiangxia County, they should immediately go north to try to intercept the soldiers and horses in front of Pu.

It's easy to say that if the soldiers and horses on Di Han's side can take one or two cities, if they can't take it, they will be in a little trouble.

Yuanfu came out of the army, and he is very clear about this:

"After the army went north, although it failed to break through strong cities such as Xinye and Wancheng for a while, some small counties took a lot and opened up supplies along the way."

"It's just that there is a general named Zhou Fangyuan, who has been harassing the rear supply lines of our army, and the battle with General Li is intractable, and our army's supply is slightly poor."

"In addition, General Di was hit by a stray arrow, and two days after the last general left, he found out that the Donghu people were preaching everywhere, saying that it was. General Di was killed in battle. ”

"Huh?"

Yuan Shen on the side was shocked when he heard this, Di Han, a general whose status was second only to Yue Shaoqian in the Han army, actually died in battle?

Isn't that the end of this time??

Liu Ke was also shocked to hear it.

Where did Fang Yuan come out this week, and he was able to fight back and forth with Li Jingji, are you mistaken?

As for Di Han's matter, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

This guy is always in love, and he has to be rumored to death two or three times in a battle, and when he gets older, he will probably have to leak all over his body when he drinks saliva.

If you make a count of the Han general's death records, Di Han estimates that he has died seventeen or eighteen times.

Looking at it this way, generally speaking, although the main force failed to take Xinye and Wancheng, it also made some gains, so don't worry.

There are several reliable generals, and Xue Jia has made suggestions.

Don't worry about the rear, if you can fight back and forth with Li Jingji, the logistics are destined not to go wrong.

Then the only thing you need to worry about is yourself.

Liu Ke asked Yuan Shen to continue to comfort the soldiers, and then found those Hou Wanxing's cronies who surrendered in time to ask about the situation.

What is it that makes Hou Wanxing suddenly turn back?

The cronies can't say it's up.

They don't know much, they only know that Pu Qianguang sent someone to have a secret meeting with Hou Wanxing, and then Hou Wanxing began to plan something.

Fortunately, Liu Ke deliberately searched and found a few letters.

The loss is that Hou Wan woke up and died too suddenly, and he didn't have time to prepare, otherwise he wouldn't be able to read the letter, and he would have to be kept in the dark.

"This is for me, and I have to turn against the water."

Liu Ke had already returned to the city with Yuanfu at this time and summoned the generals to discuss secretly.

Chong Xuan, Lu Fengfu, Zang Li and others, looking at the content of the letter, the more they read it, the more worried they felt.

"I can't wait to wake up! Such repeated thieves, damn it!! ”

Lu Fengfu took the lead in scolding Hou Wanxing, if he didn't poke a few holes in this person, he felt uncomfortable.

Then there was no sound, and there was silence.

After a long time, everyone finally finished digesting the amount of information in the letter, and finally had a voice.

"I have also heard of this whole wing, his wisdom is not under Liu Bin, and he has won the trust of Puqian Yonggu and is in charge of the military and government of Yuzhou."

"This time, the troops of Yuzhou will be sent to encircle and suppress Your Majesty, and it must be his people who are planning and dispatching troops behind the scenes."

Zang Li frowned, the content of the letter is actually very simple, it is the distribution map of the troops in Runan County today.

But the content was shocking enough that it took them so long to react.

That Quanyi actually took advantage of the emperor's offensive and defensive battles in Xiping County and Pu Qianguang's army to mobilize the available soldiers and horses of the entire Yuzhou to Runan.

Especially around Xiping County.

Qingling, Wuyang, Suiping, smelting furnace.

All were heavily guarded.

However, because Xiping County had been stubbornly holding for many days, his energy was focused on the army of Pu Qianguang, and he didn't react at all, so he let him deploy troops at will.

It can be said that Pu Qianguang's side, although the local siege failed.

However, the Donghu people won in the overall strategy and occupied a big advantage.

Although Xiping County is now defended, it is also completely besieged by the Donghu people.

It can be called an ambush on all sides, and it is difficult to fly with wings.

This made Zang Li faintly familiar.

When he was a rogue in Mount Tai, he was surrounded and suppressed by unexpected troops.

With his years of experience, he couldn't run away and was captured by Donghu Sheng.

I think it was also a full wing at the time, and I was making suggestions behind the scenes.

However, Zang Li has no superfluous thoughts, these ten-sided ambushes can surround him, and he may not be able to trap the real dragon.

Lu Fengfu, who has been in charge of handling the political affairs of Xiping County, added:

"There is still three months of grain and straw in the city."

The general's brows furrowed even deeper.

Although Xiping County is impregnable, Pu Qianguang was so beaten that he didn't dare to attack.

But only by sticking to it.

They could see that the emperor was training his troops in order to fight out and open a way of life.

But under this ambush on all sides, it is really difficult, it is better to stick to it!

Chong Xuan was not too afraid, and said bluntly:

"According to General Yuanfu, there is Yue Shaobao in front of him, fighting with the army in front of Pu in a roundabout way, and two other generals, Jing Daorong and Banihan, are sent to take the small road deep."

"As long as we can get through one or two counties, we can keep our army safe."

"Even if you can't get out of the house, you can last for four or five more months."

"When the time comes, it will be convenient to march into the army, whether it is Yue Shaobao leading the army to converge, or General Di Han capturing Wancheng and Xinye, it can be turned around to encircle and suppress the Donghu people."

"Everything is arranged, but it can be broken in the palm of your hand!"

That being said, but Chong Xuan, who has always been outstandingly courageous, feels that he can only rely on external support and fall into such a passive situation, which is enough to show how bad the current situation is.

Liu Ke's fingers tapped on the table, and the light of the candle beside him trembled slightly, reflecting the uncertain light and shadow on his face.

"Counting the Guiyi Army outside the city, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in our hands."

"It's really not easy to break through the Donghu soldiers and horses stationed in various places."

"But since there is still enough grain in the city for March, let's wait for a while."

He doesn't have much to do at the moment.

Originally, it was planned that after Yue Shaoqian sent the generals, relying on the tenacity of the Guiyi army, he would make a rapid march and directly hit the rear of the front army of Jingbei Pu.

Then cooperate with Yue Shaoqian and Di Han in front of him, and attack back and forth.

Directly send the army of Pu Qianbu to Jingbei and eat it in one go.

When the time comes, whether it is to continue to do things in Runan, or to capture the cities of Jingbei and Xiangyang, you will be able to advance and retreat freely.

It is even able to divide the army into two ways and work in two ways.

But the whole wing is silent, and the soldiers and horses of the entire Yuzhou will be gathered in Runan, which makes people extremely passive.

With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Guiyi Army, it was extremely difficult to break out of the encirclement, and the situation was not optimistic.

With Chongxuan's both civil and military skills, he also feels that he can only wait for a while:

"However, the transfer of the whole wing is not foolproof."

"The soldiers and horses of Yuzhou gather in Runan, and the other defenses will be extremely empty."

"Your Majesty took a step forward and asked Chen Rui to go to the Puliuru Department, let the Puliuru Department send troops, and Chen Bing was in the south of Yuzhou to threaten the south of Puqian."

"Once the Puliuru Department sends troops, even if it can't capture the city, it can make the whole wing have to move troops again to be on guard."

"In this way, the pressure of our army in Runan County will also be reduced."

Although Chong Xuan didn't know who Pu Liuru Amor was, judging from the current situation, Pu Qianbu should have sent troops.

After all, the civil strife in the Eight Divisions of Donghu was the basis of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty.

Even if Puliuru Ammo is not a good child, seeing that Yuzhou is empty, he will inevitably send troops, and no matter how bad it is, he will send troops to threaten to exchange for certain benefits for himself.

It's not even just the Puliuru Division, while the Pu Front Department is so vigorously deploying troops to fight against the Han Dynasty, the rear is bound to be empty.

The Murong Department in the east should also have some movements.

"Then wait a little longer."

The monarchs and ministers in Xiping County reached an agreement for the time being.

Judging from the distribution of Donghu troops in Runan, they are stuck in Xiping County and are somewhat passive.

But they do need more intelligence, more soldiers, and better generals now.

But once you count on the Puliuru Division, they will definitely disappoint.

Zhang Huaiyang is like this, Qiyan Silie is like this, and so is Chong Xuan.

The Puliuru Department has never disappointed when it comes to disappointing people.

Half a month later, it was already the end of December.

Liu Ke didn't wait for any good news, but the situation was getting worse and worse.

Although Jing Daorong arrived in Xiping County, at the same time, there was a big defeat.

He did take a small road, led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and successfully broke through the defense line of the Donghu people.

But according to Yue Shaoqian's arrangement, he did not rush to Xiping County, but went around Wuyang County, west of Xiping County.

At the same time, he chose to send troops to attack Wuyang County.

It was an absolutely correct choice.

Although Yue Shaoqian didn't know, Quanyi was ambushed on all sides in Runan County.

But he vaguely guessed the possibility, and at the same time chose the safest way.

As long as Jing Daorong successfully takes Wuyang County, Wuyang and Xiping will be able to connect.

At the same time, as long as a large number of fences are built in the middle of the road, they can be like nails on the road that the Puqian army must pass.

Even if it can't be flanked by the front and rear of the Pu front army, it can also greatly affect the grain transportation and the movement of soldiers and horses in the front of Pu.

Moreover, there are two counties that are horns of each other, and Liu Ke and the Guiyi Army are completely safe.

But the strategy was beautiful, and when it was actually implemented, it failed.

Because Jing Daorong failed to take Wuyang County.

Because of a major defeat, the soldiers and horses of the department were depressed and depressed.

Pu Qianguang didn't even send troops to stop this army and let it join the Guiyi army in Xiping County.

After all, this group of defeated troops went to Xiping County to eat dry rice and consume stored grain, and they didn't have much combat effectiveness.

"That Nie Qiang is so powerful, although his people were taken aback after hearing about the name of the last general."

"But even if he is the last general, between a hundred and ten rounds, he can't even take him."

If it weren't for Jing Daorong's injuries and a few arrows, Liu Kezhen would have believed such nonsense.

Jing Daorong's command is 69, and his force value is 88.

Although he can't be alone, leading an army to raid a small county town is almost foolproof.

But he still lost in the hands of this "Nie Qiang", which shows that his ability is not bad.

And can make Jing Daorong, who is extremely confident, say things like "I can't even take it down", which shows that Nie Qiang is really a little unusual.

"Zang Qing, who is this Nie Qiang?"

Liu Ke turned to ask Xiang Zang Li, there is an inner ghost who knows the information of Pu's front, and it is still very good.

When Zang Li heard Nie Qiang's name, he was shocked, and between his eyebrows, he even felt a little afraid:

"That Nie Qiang can be called the enemy of ten thousand."

"When the last general was in Mount Tai, there were three righteous brothers, and their martial arts were above the last general."

"At that time, Pu Qianbu led his troops to lay an ambush on ten sides, and he used this Nie Qiang as a spear to pursue everywhere, and the three righteous brothers of the last general could not advance or retreat, and wanted to kill a way out of life through martial arts, but they all lost their lives."

Hiss.

Liu Ke glanced sideways slightly, Zang Li's ability belongs to a second-rate general, and it is not bad in the Han army.

It's even a little higher than Lei Lan, who is often used as a pioneer.

This Nie Qiang can pick three generals in a row, who are about the same level as Zang Li, and his ability can be seen.

But he wasn't too worried.

If it's just a strong martial artist, he is not afraid.

It's a big deal to let Zang Li deceive Nie Qiang and force out the strongest Lu Fengfu, and he can be cut down in three or two clicks.

Liu Ke himself is also successful.

Throwing Yuan Shen, Yuan Fu and everything under the car, and drifting at super high speed to sneak attack, it is just a chessboard matter.

No matter how bad it is, he got Nie Qiang's son out to recognize him as a righteous son, killed his brother and killed his brother and shot him with an arrow.

But if Nie Qiang still has the ability to command troops, it will make people more fearful.

There is already a Pu Qianguang, and then a general.

With the ten-sided ambush on the upper wing, plus the advantage of soldiers and horses in front of Pu.

Runan is really like the deep valley and abyss, making people lose sight of hope.

However, Zang Li was a little puzzled and puzzled:

"It's just that after Jia Wuji was crowned king, this Nie Qiang was sent to the south by Puqian Yonggu to guard Hefei and guard against the Puliuru Department."

"How can you be in Runan at this time?"

Could it be that the front part of Pu does not want the south at all?

Even if he is desperate for the possibility of being attacked by Puliuru's troops in the north, he must do his best to besiege and kill the emperor?

It's not impossible.

But with Zang Li's understanding of Puqian Yonggu, Puqian Yonggu should not have the courage to be.

Wang Luo and Quan Yi below may have similar plans.

But without the intention of the Khan King, it is impossible to mobilize a general like Nie Qiang, who is guarding one side.

unless

Nie Qiang beat the Puliuru Department and didn't dare to cross the river.

Zang Li was frightened by his own thoughts.

How can it be!

Since the fall of the 100,000 sailors, the Puliuru Department has been recuperating and recuperating.

Although there are no famous generals, they are not defeated by Nie Qiang.

There are not many defenders in Hefei, more on the defensive, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack.

But soon the news brought by Chong Xuan confirmed Zang Li's impossible guess.

"Nie Qiang. Nie Qiang broke 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Puliuru Division, and now he has brought troops into Runan, and our army is in danger!! ”

Yuan Fudu lost his cool a little, and hurriedly handed over the information obtained by the sentry cavalry to Liu Ke, but there were no extra words, as if the whole person was stupid.

This is the news deliberately released by the Donghu people, just to disturb the morale of the Guiyi Army and the hearts of the monarchs and ministers in Xiping County.

Now it seems that it worked well.

The candles reflected the walls of the county government in a warm yellow.

But the atmosphere at the moment is so solemn that it seems to be able to drain the air, and it is a little difficult to breathe.

Liu Ke frowned deeply, this was the news he didn't want to see.

Puliuru Ammo personally led the troops to the north, known as the 100,000 army to the outside world, majestic and high-spirited, walked the Yangtze River, crossed Chaohu Lake, entered the army and Feishui, and was bound to take Hefei.

The army of Puliuru set up flying towers, crashes, and ladders under the city of Hefei, and dug tunnels to cooperate, day and night, and attacked continuously for 20 days.

Not only did he fail to take Hefei, but he was successfully attacked by Nie Qiang in the city.

Nie Qiang led 800 elites to attack the 100,000 troops of the Puliuru Department at night, and rushed all the way to the command of the commander of Puliuru Amour.

Such a brave move made the morale of the soldiers and horses in the front of Dongpu soar and they were invincible.

Puliuru Ammo was so frightened that he cut off his beard and abandoned his robe, and hurriedly withdrew his army for ten miles, wanting to rest for the time being, and wait for the next day to attack the city.

But instead of letting go, Nie Qiang continued to chase and fight.

Nie Qiang broke the army of the Puliuru Department in one go, and the fierce general of the Puliuru Division, Lu Guang, was defeated and was seriously injured.

Nie Qiang chased after him, and almost directly captured Pu Liuru Ammo alive.

Chong Xuan is usually very calm, brave and strategic, and full of courage.

At this moment, he was also sweating on his forehead, his hands were unconsciously clenched, and he sighed:

"The soldiers and horses of the Puliuru Department are so useless!"

Puliuru Ammo is indeed too vegetable, it is okay to govern the place, it is okay to fight for power and profit, and the royal majesty has certain means to buy people's hearts, but he really can't fight a war.

The onslaught on Hefei was not taken for 20 days, and it was taken by people with 800 soldiers and horses to break through to the Chinese army.

Your surname is Sun?

It may be that Jiangdong has its own heritage, or it may be that Jianye Feng Shui is not good.

Liu Ke is not good at making any comments on the big children.

If you want to say that he can't do it, he can do it too.

This can be seen from the onslaught of the twentieth day.

Basically, after Chen Rui arrived in Jiangdong and asked the Puliuru Department to send troops, Puliuru Amor immediately began to prepare.

To be able to mobilize troops and horses in a short period of time, prepare sufficient grain and grass, and supply the army for 20 days of onslaught, this is absolutely not good if you have to change people casually.

This hand-to-hand scheduling is enough to illustrate the ability.

But if you want to say okay, he really can't.

Four years ago, 100,000 sailors attacked Qiongzhou and burned it to the ground.

Now it is another 100,000 soldiers and horses fighting in Hefei, and Nie Qiang is bringing 800 people to the fart.

Zang Li was even more frightened and turned a little pale, as if he had completely lost his blood, and his eyes showed deep worry:

"This Nie Qiang is comparable to the ancient Li Mu and Zhang Liao, if he leads his troops into Runan, and is cooperating with the ambush plan of the whole wing on all sides, our army will be mighty!"

He had experienced Nie Qiang's bravery and invincibility in his early years, and under such an unbelievable record, he couldn't resist a little.

Moreover, Jing Daorong was defeated by Nie Qiang, that is to say, after Nie Qiang broke through the army of Puliuru, he transferred to Runan.

Even in Zang Li's heart, a sense of powerlessness has risen.

The whole wing dispatched troops to plan the entire Runan County and lay a net of heaven and earth.

Coupled with Nie Qiang as a spear, he rushed and pursued everywhere.

This is very similar to the situation when he was captured by Tarzan!

He had experienced that kind of despair, he couldn't run away at all, there were people everywhere.

I can't beat it, Nie Qiang is too strong.

And now, even more than then, there is one more Pu Qianguang who has been defeated repeatedly.

Is it really okay?

Lu Fengfu was silent, but his eyebrows also revealed his jealousy of Nie Qiang.

Nie Qiang is not only an enemy of 10,000 people, but also has a strong ability to command troops.

I'm afraid that the ability to lead the troops is even above Di Han.

Among the big Hans, except for Yue Shaoqian, no one could stabilize him.

The cold wind blew in the night, piercing through the cracks along the wall, and the whining sound was like a few long sighs faintly heard.

Whether it is Liu Ke or his generals, they all feel that the situation is not optimistic.

Chong Xuan finally couldn't sit still, and Runan was guarded by heavy soldiers layer by layer, laying a net of heaven and earth.

Seeing that the grain in Xiping County is getting smaller and smaller.

The reinforcements that I finally hoped for had a defeated battle, and I don't know how much combat strength is left.

even brought the worst news, an extremely fierce famous general led his troops to Runan.

It can be said that nearly half of the net worth of the entire Pu front is pressed on Runan.

If you stick to Xiping County again, you will sit and eat empty mountains and run out of food.

If you take the initiative, the odds are slim.

Chong Xuan thought about it, but he only felt anxious.

Now is different from the past, he wants to give it a try, but he still has to put the emperor's safety first:

"Please also ask Your Majesty to take General Yuanfu as an escort, take a donkey cart and take the trail, and go out of Runan first."

"In this way, the last general can have no scruples and lead his troops to fight to the death against the Donghu people."

Everyone agreed with Chong Xuan's proposal.

Now the morale of the reinforcements is low, and there are 3,000 more mouths to eat, the grain and grass are consumed faster, and they are surrounded again, trapped in Xiping.

What else can be done except to let the emperor quietly retreat first?

At this moment, a ghost suddenly surged in Liu Ke's heart, and he couldn't help laughing three times.

"Hahaha!!"

"Hahaha-"

No, how can this laughter still have its own echo??

Liu Ke's eyes widened and he looked at Jing Daorong.

I just laughed and forgot it, after all, it was open, and I was somewhat confident.

You laugh too?

"Jing Qing has any good strategy to break the enemy?"

Liu Ke asked tentatively, Jing Daorong, as the only general who had fought with Nie Qiang, did he see any flaws?

No wonder he was touched, it was really Jing Daorong's laughter, which was very infectious.

"Nope."

Jing Daorong shook his head, but he said in a matter-of-fact manner:

"But isn't it Nie Qiang, just win against him."

The reason is such a reason, but how easy is it to win Nie Qiang?

However, Jing Daorong's sunny and cheerful laughter really made the generals laugh for a while.

It is as if there is an unfathomable self-confidence, as if there is nothing in the world that can move it, so that any worries and uneasiness seem so insignificant.

The tense and grim atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed a lot.

And the emperor laughed too.

Chong Xuan, Zang Li, Lu Fengfu and others all looked at Liu Ke actively.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

"I laugh at that all-winged plan, Nie Qiang Shaozhi."

"I laugh at that all-winged plan, Nie Qiang Shaozhi."

Forget it, I'm in a showdown, don't pretend.

Liu Ke now has a very bold idea in his heart.

The other party calculates in every possible way, so you have to jump out of the calculation and do things that the other party can't calculate at all.

did not retreat but advanced, and directly attacked the county seat of Runan.

He felt the timing was right.

The original Han army was all cut down as long as the Donghu soldiers.

After arriving in Jingzhou, he began to take Donghu to the bathing center, do a good spiritual massage, and selectively surrender.

And after Liu Ke entered Runan, he was even more lenient.

As soon as they were demoted, Liu Ke would personally come forward and act as their psychological counselor, explaining to them the policy of being a prisoner of confession and leniency, strict resistance, positive reform, and re-becoming a human being.

After Quan La was sent to prison for political trial, he was treated like an ordinary soldier.

Including those cronies who followed Hou Wanxing.

Coupled with Liu Ke's [orator] destiny, many pawns were directly completely reformed.

Yiying, represented by Zang Li, surrendered to the generals and pawns, not only surrendered to Han, but also truthfully reported the true situation of the soldiers and horses in front of Pu.

In addition, Pu Qianguang revealed to Hou Wanxing the dispatch of troops in Runan.

It can be said that except for some minor changes, as well as some details.

The topography of Runan, as well as the distribution of troops in Runan in front of Pu, are all in front of Liu Ke, and they can be seen at a glance.

And Liu Ke currently has these things in his hands, in addition to the topography and distribution of troops in Runan:

An inner ghost who is familiar with the enemy's situation and knows himself and his opponent - Zang Li.

A general who is good at running and has great courage - Chong Xuan.

A thick body and quite martial arts meat shield - Yuanfu.

A self-confident and rushing pioneer - Jing Daorong.

In addition, Liu Ke specially trained a soldier with strong willpower that is difficult to be easily dispersed - the Guiyi Army.

This meets all the conditions for a direct surprise attack on Runan County.

Although I know that after Hou Wanxing is exposed, the distribution of troops in Runan will definitely change slightly, but there will definitely be no major changes.

After all, the main purpose of the whole wing is to ambush on all sides, surround Xiping County, and trap the Guiyi army.

Then the county seat closer to Xiping County is the main place to be armed.

Runan City, which is relatively farther away and has more solid walls, no matter how much it changes, it will inevitably not have too many soldiers and horses to garrison.

Even Jing Daorong's defeat was just right.

This defeat made them know Nie Qiang's news and prepare in advance.

At the same time, it will also make the Donghu people have a certain degree of underestimation of the enemy.

However, Liu Ke felt that it was not enough.

There are still a few more layers of preparation.

And there is no need to make it clear to the generals now, saying that they are going to attack Runan.

It's too easy to leak the news.

Surprise attack on this thing, but if you inadvertently leak the slightest bit of information, it won't be a thing.

It's not that Liu Ke doesn't trust these generals, it's mainly that he really doesn't feel at ease with the wisdom of some people.

Forget the direct roll call, it is Jing Daorong, who is only 32 wise and full of words.

Liu Ke took a deep breath and said the next strategic plan:

"If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

"Let's abandon Xiping County and attack Suiping."

Chong Xuan, who has always been devoted to the Han family, is no stranger to these sixteen words.

Even Zang Li, the general in front of Pu, has heard of it.

It was on this basis that the emperor quickly abandoned the land and returned to Qiongzhou after successfully capturing Yizhou.

This is the fire that shook the world back then.

So much so that although Yizhou has been in a state of autonomy, it does not dare to speak loudly, and the annual tax is not less at all.

Even Liu Bin, who is known as "one step at a time" and a rare resourceful man in the world, also adopted this policy when guarding Jingzhou.

If it weren't for the frequent accidents, and the appearance of the Holy Emperor and the flooding of Changsha, the Han army might still be in Jingnan and would not be able to advance an inch.

In the current situation, it seems to be more applicable.

Since you will be trapped to death if you stick to Xiping County, try to take the initiative to abandon the city and find a way to survive.

Anyway, the emperor specially trained his troops, and it was also for the follow-up battle out of the city.

And Pu Qianguang was also stationed ten miles away, and he was not too urgent.

They have room to abandon the city and run away.

The generals thought for a moment and unanimously praised Liu Ke's foresight.

This seems to be the only response today, and we must not sit idly by, but must take the initiative.

Zang Li even went a step further and proposed:

"It's better to let the soldiers prepare ten days' worth of food and straw and burn the city directly."

"One is to lose the last base area, which can make the soldiers fight against the water, and the other is to let Pu Qianguang be busy with governance and contain some soldiers and horses."

The rogue deserves to be a rogue who, except that he didn't think about rebelling again, the moral bottom line is still very low.

The method of burning the city with fire is even more full of rogue style.

But no one refuted it this time, after all, it seems that it is a good idea.

The main thing is to be able to pull the soldiers and horses of Pu Qianguang's department, so that it cannot be easily pursued.

Then the pressure on the Guiyi army who abandoned the city and left was greatly reduced, and they only needed to face the soldiers and horses mobilized by the whole wing, as well as the elite of Nie Qiang's department.

And the so-called last battle is also feasible.

But Liu Ke obviously disagreed, he thought he was a person with a very moral bottom line.

"It's not proper, burning the city hurts the heavens and peace."

He turned to look at Lu Fengfu and asked:

"Master Lu, you take a charter out."

"These days, those high-ranking families who don't cooperate with the lectures, the children of the families who are late, and the wealthy families who are not willing to give restraints."

"One counts as one."

"If they don't want to listen to the way of Confucius and Mencius, they will be punished by the saints."

"The house was burned by the fire, that's normal, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Fengfu nodded violently.

For those big families, the door panels have been demolished, and they haven't had time to fill it in.

Then the house is prone to air leakage.

The so-called wind helps the fire, and if there is wind, it is easy to catch fire, so it is also very reasonable to have three or two points of spark, which is blown by the wind and forms a fire.

What is Heavenly Fire?

The fire set by the Son of Heaven.

After it was determined that the next step was to attack Suiping, the houses of the big families in Xiping County began to catch fire.

The Xiping Yuan clan was spared, although there were some small actions, but they were still very cooperative in lecturing, and they also provided sufficient assistance when the Guiyi army defended the city.

However, the patriarch Yuan Shen was made an official by Liu Ke and kidnapped away.

Yuan Shen does have a certain ability to appease the soldiers.

Just by relying on appearance, a stop there can stabilize people's hearts.

There is a more important point, Runan City is the base camp of the Yuan clan in Runan, and with Yuan Shen here, it can be more or less related.

The follow-up will definitely come in handy.

Originally, the Guiyi Army of Xiping County, the Guiyi Army brought by Hou Wanxing, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Jing Daorong were full of 12,000 people.

Liu Ke divided it into three soldiers.

First, 4,000 people led by Chong Xuan and Jing Daorong acted as the vanguard and opened the way in front.

Second, he led 4,000 people to command the operation as the Chinese army.

Third, Zang Li commanded 4,000 people to support the rear army at any time.

Evenly distributed, obsessive-compulsive ecstasy.

After Liu Ke rushed to make a batch of third-class defeat medals, issued them to the soldiers and horses of Jing Daorong's department, and urgently pulled a wave of morale, he took advantage of the turmoil in the city and left Xiping in an orderly manner.

As for the first-class defeat medal, it was specially prepared for Li Jingji's department, and these defeated soldiers of Jing Daorong were obviously not of sufficient grade.

When everyone marched silently, Chong Xuan used an unusually firm voice to encourage:

"I vow not to live with this Hulu!"

Suddenly, something landed on his face, making him blink.

"Is this rain??"

The Guiyi army had just walked out of the city gate, and Tiangong was not very beautiful.

At this critical moment, it suddenly began to rain.

And it goes on and on.

With the cold air at the end of December, the rain still slightly solidified and fell on people's faces, which was strangely painful.

Zang Li's face was sad, this is considered an unsuccessful career, right?

As soon as the fire was set out, it began to rain.

and the will of God.

Nor is it conducive to their march.

This does not bode well.

Liu Ke frowned, unmoved,

God's son is a little rebellious now, maybe he has reached the rebellious period, but it's not a big problem, he still has to listen to Lao Tzu after all.

He just spit out two words neatly:

"Go south."

"Go South!!"

All the soldiers drank in unison.

Chong Xuan looked at the boundless sky and the fallen leaves on the side of the road, and suddenly had mixed feelings.

Suddenly, there was a sense of melancholy, as if I had returned to the dilapidated Xiping County.

Looking back and occasionally looking back, the fire in Xiping County has become smaller.

I don't know what to feel like in my heart.

The road ahead is long, but it is so difficult to get out of Runan County.

Not to mention the revival of the Han Dynasty and the return of the old capital?

There are so many famous generals in the Han Dynasty who can't move an inch, can they do it themselves?

In order to create a rebellion against the Donghu people, the three generations of the seed family, who are in Hu Ying's heart and Han Dynasty, never dare to have the slightest slackness.

In order to create a rebellion against the Donghu people, he used up almost all his family resources, tied the nine clans to the waistband of his trousers, and blatantly followed Zhang Yiping to start an incident.

In order to create a rebellion against the Donghu people, he did not hesitate to rob the camp of 50,000 people with 50 horses, and the slightest carelessness would be a catastrophe.

He insisted on going his own way, although thousands of people went to me, and now there is finally some improvement.

But is this going to be a failure?

Xiping County is like the epitome of his life's efforts.

Today, he had to abandon the city on his own initiative.

Suddenly, he saw Liu Ke on the donkey cart under the escort of Yuanfu and personally driving the donkey.

Seeing this, Chong Xuan couldn't help but feel his blood surge, and as usual, he was full of spirit.

There are thousands of difficulties and dangers, and there is the Holy Son of Heaven, so what is there to fear?!

So Hu Chongxuan looked back at Xiping County and secretly swore in his heart.

If the thief is not removed for a day, he will not return for a day!

It's already in this situation, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

Liu Ke also happened to look back at the fire.

He didn't choose to burn the city directly, but only burned a few disobedient family clans for a simple reason.

Because soon, he'll have to come back.

After taking Runan County, with Yue Shaoqian's department, he can completely take down the entire Runan County.

This is my own home's territory, and it can't be burned.

In the light rain, the Guiyi army came to Suiping County.

Although Suiping County is very close to Xiping County and is also the garrison of the whole wing, the defense is relatively weak because of Hou Wanxing's actions earlier.

And the walls were also lower, making them easier to attack.

There is no need for Liu Ke to go into battle, he just needs to make a tactical nuclear bomb to fill the threat.

Chong Xuan led the troops, with Jing Daorong and Zang Li as his minions, and soon broke through the outer city.

directly killed more than 1,000 people, and let the soldiers accumulate a lot of siege experience.

But just when Chong Xuan was about to take the soldiers and horses to break through the inner city.

Liu Ke suddenly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and not to attack the city again.

"Your Majesty, why is this??"

Zang Li's face was covered with blood, he was passionate and brave, listening to Ming Jin's order, although he retreated, he still hurried to inquire.

Jing Daorong was also at a loss:

"Your Majesty, the guard general has been frightened when he heard the name of the last general!"

"As long as the general gives an order, my big axe can directly cut off the head of the guard and split it for him to be alive at the city gate, why did he retreat?"

Many soldiers are also puzzled, why do they withdraw their troops when it is clear that the city is about to be broken?

It's as uncomfortable as when you kick in the door and suddenly can't get out.

As long as the city is broken and Suiping is taken, they will have a place to rest and recuperate, and they can also use the materials in the city to replenish the grain.

It also has a great boost to morale.

Isn't that a precious victory?

can be Ming Jin to withdraw the troops, wait until the Suiping County guards are prepared, strengthen the city wall overnight, and then ask Pu Qianguang or Nie Qiang for help.

Not only will they not be able to break through the city in a short time, but they are also at risk of being chased by a large army.

Even if you want to rest, if you set up camp outside the city to rest, how can you go to the city comfortably?

But Liu Ke just responded lightly:

"This is not my plan."

Jing Daorong's eyes widened?

Not a scheme?

But before you abandoned Xiping County, didn't you just say that you were going to attack Suiping County?

Zang Li wanted to say something, but he also thought of it.

That's right, it's an attack, not a breakdown.

The difference is one word, but the difference is very big.

"Attack?"

Chong Xuan was thoughtful.

He could probably guess that the emperor might be trying to lure Pu Qianguang and chase after Nie Qiang's troops.

Rather than being pursued by enemy troops, be afraid.

It is better to take the initiative to let the enemy pursue, and deliberately control where the enemy army pursues, so that you can fully grasp the enemy's movements.

"If you go south."

In Chong Xuan's mind, a topographical map of Runan County came to mind.

Heading south is indeed the way to break out.

The south is mountainous, Suiping County goes further south, and after Rushui walks for a while, it is the Queshan.

Once they can go deep into the mountains and forests, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in front of Pu, it will not be easy to encircle and suppress them.

And there was a reinforcement that didn't arrive.

Barnihan's men and horses.

He had heard of Banihan, a general who was a native of South Vietnam in Jiaozhou.

Walking on flat ground in the mountains and forests, he is especially good at mountain warfare.

"But."

Chong Xuan felt that with the wisdom of the whole wing, he would definitely be able to calculate this chip, and he would definitely take precautions in advance, and would not let them enter the mountains and forests so smoothly.

"Go south!"

Early the next morning, Liu Ke shouted slogans, led his army to cross Rushui south of Suiping County, and went straight to Queshan as Chongxuan expected.

The Righteous Army was blocked.

Wuyang County and Xiping County could not be opened up, and the fence was laid down.

On the contrary, the whole wing has laid down fences on the main roads everywhere, and on the main roads leading to the mountain, there are soldiers and horses all over Donghu.

Although it is not an elite and there is no general stationed, it is enough to delay for a while.

Once the Guiyi army is caught in a battle here, it will inevitably be caught up by Pu Qianguang or Nie Qiang's troops, and they will be attacked before and after, and they will not be able to advance or retreat.

Liu Ke only waited for the army to be transferred again, went north and returned, crossed Rushui again, and approached Wencheng County.

The Guiyi Army crossed Rushui for the second time and returned to the north of Rushui, which was completely beyond Nie Qiang's expectations.

He received an urgent report and led a large army to support Suiping, and after hearing that the Guiyi army was heading south, he hurriedly crossed Rushui, anticipating the enemy's first opportunity, and pursued him to Queshan.

As long as the Guiyi army stayed near the mountain for one more day, he would be able to catch up.

Who would have thought that the rebels would take the trail again and cross back to the north of Rushui again?

It has always been difficult for the army to cross the water, but the matter has come to this point, and Nie Qiang has to bite the bullet and cross the Rushui to pursue again.

At the same time, let Pu Qianguang reinforce and rush to Wencheng County.

If the Guiyi Army really gains something in Wencheng County, the situation may change.

Because the north of Wencheng County is the Chiao Mountain, the south is Rushui, and after the Rushui is Ma'anshan.

These are all places that are difficult for Donghu soldiers and horses to take for a while.

Liu Ke arrived at Wencheng County with the Guiyi army, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city.

The whole wing was worthy of being resourceful and not under Liu Bin, and deployed heavy troops in Wencheng County, the weakest place, in advance.

Don't think about it, whether it is Chiaoshan Mountain in the north or Ma'anshan in the south, there must be fences to intercept them, and the Guiyi Army will be blocked wherever they go.

If there is a slight delay, he will be forced by Nie Qiang's subordinates.

Liu Ke was only in Wencheng County, let Jing Daorong provoke, spread the donkey's hooves and run away with the army.

The third time he crossed the Ru water.

He knew the terrain of Runan County and the deployment of troops by heart.

The main thing is a Qin king around the pillar.

I'll go around you.

If you can't get around, you can also provide a little help, such as getting off the horse and planting people to rush forward, or giving another speech on the battlefield.

In general, there is still a lot of flower work, and it is simple to cross Rushui, Rushui is not as good as the Yangtze River, not to mention the bathtub, and a driftwood can also be crossed for you.

But in the end, it's just a little insignificant means, and it's not a matter just to go around like this.

Because after the three crossings of Rushui, it was already the tenth day of leaving Xiping County.

The Guiyi army had no supplies, and it was no longer enough to carry dry food with them.

Although it is very close to Suiping County now, it is already very difficult to easily break through Suiping County as before.

And the weather is getting worse.

No one could have imagined that just after entering the fifth year of Zhaowu, the temperature would plummet.

The wind was bitterly cold and the north wind was howling.

The snow fell like silver flowers, and there was a thick chill.

The silver-gray clouds in the sky converged into a single piece, like a dragon, sometimes tumbling, sometimes gathering.

And the cascading mountains that the Guiyi Army regarded as a place of hope were also shrouded in cold, covered in ice and snow.

Now there is no need to block the fence, the warmth measures are not enough, and no one will go deep into the mountains and forests.

Some places in Rushui where the flow is slow and the area of the basin is small have been covered by ice.

It is also unrealistic to want to cross the Rushui and pull with the Donghu pursuers.

The earth was dead and silent, and the plants and trees withered.

Many soldiers of the Guiyi Army, looking at this bleak world, only felt that there were relatives in their hearts, and the traces of life seemed to have completely dissipated in this cold wind.

Liu Ke didn't like the weather very much, so he would rather eat hot pot around the stove in the bitter cold.

But the joys and sorrows of human beings can be shared occasionally.

He didn't like it, and neither did the others.

At this time, the Guiyi army arrived at a village between Suiping County and Queshan.

Zhangchai Village.

Due to the heavy snowfall, everyone doesn't like the cold winter and wants to eat hot pot around the stove.

So much so that in Zhangchai Village, the hundreds of Donghu defenders arranged on the whole wing were easily taken down by the Guiyi army.

Just Jing Daorong alone, he killed seventeen or eighteen.

And at the same time, all the beacons were controlled.

In order to prevent the news of the march from leaking, Liu Ke sent Jing Daorong to lead a small force to dismantle all the bridges from Zhangchai Village to the surrounding areas.

Finally, take the stored food and rest for a while.

Liu Ke also issued the final military order.

"Take Runan straight and capture the whole wing alive!"
