Liu Ke led nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses all the way to the west.

The current soldiers and horses have been mixed with the Guiyi army and the Han army, and the marching speed is not so uniform.

Especially the purpose of the current is to be a noble soldier and fast, and to fight with the main force of the Pu front army, who is faster.

So Liu Ke only selected the most elite three thousand soldiers and horses.

In fact, with his current command, he will only bring three or five thousand people, and no matter how much he has, it is useless.

It's not a big problem, let alone 3,000 people, if you want to grab speed, he can actually do it alone.

As for whether a person has fought a large army or not.

If you cut a few more relatives, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, Liu Ke not only had to win the battle, but also had to conquer the city.

Then someone has to defend the city, so it is still necessary to bring more people.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you have discovered the whereabouts of the Donghu people!!"

"Donghu people?"

Lu Feng's father was surprised, whether it was Chong Xuan, Jing Daorong, or Zang Li, they were all following the army.

These 3,000 pioneers, in order to pursue speed, there are not even fierce generals in the army.

Only the emperor and himself who followed the army in order to ensure logistical planning during the rapid march.

It can be said that in the pursuit of speed, the limit has been reached.

And Rao is like this, and there are even Donghu people who came to their vicinity.

"Among the Donghu people, there are even masters?"

Lu Fengfu couldn't imagine that even if the soldiers and horses of the nearby Donghu people were only pioneers, it meant that the army was not far away.

If the front of Pu can mobilize such a large army in a short period of time, there must be capable people in the clan.

I'm afraid that it is Xiao Yuanchang's level of grain dispatching ability, otherwise there is a chance that there will be no grain.

"That Wang is slightly capable of literature and martial arts, but I'm afraid that this time he is also in Xuchang, and it will be difficult for him to dispatch grain."

"Perhaps."

Liu Ke speculated for a while, frowned and said:

"Then Pu Qian Yonggu may be in person."

It is impossible to dispatch troops and march so quickly, but the supply of food and straw is sufficient and the deployment of troops is orderly.

Especially in the case of the defeat of Runan, and the front of Pu, there is no confidence.

Only the Yonggu personal expedition in front of Pu will allow the entire front of Pu, after the defeat in Runan, to regain confidence, go up and down, fully cooperate, and drive the army westward.

Liu Ke pointed out Lu Feng's father, it is more realistic to fight more with less, or to come with more fierce generals.

"In this battle, I have self-knowledge, what I can do is to stand with the soldiers, strengthen the morale, and if I really want to charge into battle, I have to be a kind of general, General Ba and General Jing.

Lu Feng's father gave up.

He didn't know what the emperor was talking about, who could compare to the donkey cart chessboard when it came to charging into battle?

"Father Lu Feng!"

"The minister is here!"

Liu Ke stared at the distant horizon, took a deep breath, and said:

"It's just that the soldiers don't necessarily want to stand with me!"

Lu Feng's father was stunned, and then understood.

There are many more soldiers and horses now than when they first entered Runan.

But when there are many people, there are many thoughts.

There may even be a lot of Donghu people's shadows, or soldiers who have been bought.

Of course, this is not a problem.

Liu Ke has the destiny of [Prison Disaster], no matter who you are, throw it in prison for political trial, and roughly find out seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

But this time, after he found out, he didn't rush to attack and clean up.

Rather, it was specially brought among these three thousand.

"From this day forward, don't come to the tent."

Liu Ke knocked on the side and hinted at Lu Feng's father:

"Because I don't know when, I will engage the Donghu people, and we have few soldiers, so we can't leak information...... You have to be careful in what you say and do. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Feng's father responded, he knew what to do.

There was no word all night, and it was early in the morning.

As soon as a pawn finished his work, he was stabbed by the smell of blood in the wind.

He followed the direction of the smell of blood, and was stunned.

It turned out that overnight, dozens of people in the army were hung on the flagpole.

There are even some brothers who are quite brave and heroic in their daily lives.

The pawn was so surprised that he even fell to the ground.

But it doesn't matter.

As war approached, these changes were nothing.

What's more, this army has experienced the experience of the First World War in Runan, and Liu Ke personally led the army.

Dozens of people with a heart can't bring any changes at all.

Even if it is hundreds of people, under Liu Ke's command, it is the share of being beaten.

His personal prestige is too high, and the inner ghost can only reveal information, and he can't turn the storm at all.

At this time, Lu Feng's father had already skyrocketed his killing intent.

I never thought that after going through several battles, there would be traitors in the army?!

However, Liu Ke did not make further moves, or took the initiative to fight, looking for those Donghu vanguard soldiers and horses.

Instead, he chose to rush across the water.

After all, his goal, from beginning to end, was to seize the speed, to seize Wancheng and Xinye before the large army in front of Pu came to Jingbei.

In this way, the main force of the Han army can be freed up and lay out a defensive line, instead of fighting on multiple fronts.

This Donghu vanguard army can certainly fight, but it is too difficult to find, and there may be cavalry.

It is not easy to completely annihilate it.

Rather than wasting time on this horse, it is better to continue on the gallop.

If you are discovered by the Donghu soldiers and horses, you want to get up.

Then Liu Ke didn't mind fighting a big victory, and raised his morale before attacking the city.

I don't really want to hit you, but if you come up and send it, then I don't have a problem!

At the same time that Liu Ke received the movements of the Donghu people, Pu Qiancheng and Pu Qianrong, who were the pioneers, also received information from Tanma.

This is what Pu Qiancheng didn't expect, he actually encountered the Han army so quickly, and it was the Han army led by the Han Emperor.

He was even a little afraid.

Because this is the information that Pu Qianrong sent out.

If he had followed his thoughts, he wouldn't have paid much attention to these at all.

Maybe it will be wiped out directly!

"How can this be?"

Pu Qiancheng couldn't help but ask Pu Qianrong about his plan.

Although the Han army was one step ahead, they actually had an advantage in strength.

After all, according to the intelligence, the number of the Han army is only about three or four thousand, which is not much.

But the problem is that this is the soldiers and horses led by the Han Emperor.

Not to mention three or four thousand people, even if there is only that Liu Pheasant, he has to think about whether to withdraw and run away the same way, or go up and send it head-on.

"The Han army wants to rush the crossing."

Pu Qianrong also had a headache, he never expected that they would march so quickly, and they were still one step late.

Moreover, the Han Emperor was also extremely unusual, and did not continue to stir up the wind and rain in Runan, but came west with soldiers and horses.

Even now Win starts building a pontoon bridge and trying to cross the water!

If they waited until the Han Emperor crossed the water, what advantage would they have?

The Khan's personal conquest?

The Han Emperor has been personally campaigning for several years.

Grain supply?

I don't know what the situation is, the Han army has been on the Northern Expedition for more than a year, and there is really not much shortage of supplies.

Even in the case of Zhou Fangyuan's constant harassment of grain transportation routes in the rear, it was still able to be fully supplied.

The only thing may be the advantage of soldiers and horses.

But if Emperor Han really led his troops westward and joined the main forces of Yue Shaoqian and Di Han, this advantage of soldiers and horses may not be easy to use!

After all, according to Wang Luo's original plan, with the advantage of King Khan's personal expedition and the large number of soldiers and horses, he defeated Yue Shaoqian, who did not have the Han Emperor, and even Di Han in one fell swoop.

Let the Han Emperor attack the city in Runan at will, anyway, you have less, and you can't defend it.

But he never expected that the Han Emperor did not look at Runan at all, but left all the previous achievements and went west directly.

Not only did it crack Wang Luo's strategic intentions, but it also seemed to put the army in danger.

A simple 150,000 to 70,000, the advantage doesn't seem to be mine!

Therefore, Pu Qianrong's first thought was to withdraw the troops.

But suddenly he had another idea.

He did not fight the main battle, nor did he advocate marching into Jingzhou.

But now that the matter has come to this, is there really room for retreat?

Even if the troops are withdrawn in time, counting the number of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, the number of 150,000, can this be turned from offensive to defensive in a short period of time?

In case the Han Emperor seized the opportunity and broke it in one fell swoop.

Pu Qianrong couldn't make up his mind, he didn't dare to advance, and he didn't dare to retreat.

Pu Qiancheng looked anxious and unconsciously held the saber on his waist.

He sighed suddenly, and his eyes were a little more resolute:

"Uncle Rong, let's talk about my Donghu Babu, since the grassland went south."

"The world says that we are barbaric and rude, that we do not know how to be polite, that we do not know what the art of war is, and that we only use the methods used in hunting to deal with wild beasts."

"Even most of the time, it's just a hard fight."

Pu Qiancheng looked at Pu Qianrong's eyes and said:

"But at that time, we won more and lost less!"

"Since when did we start looking ahead and backward?"

"Then Liu Pheasant knows what etiquette and what art of war?"

"Killing your father and killing your brother, what kind of etiquette is this?"

"Ancestors bless, the earth collapses and floods, what kind of art of war is this?"

Pu Qiancheng sat on the ground with a golden knife, and there was a sense of arrogance for no reason:

"That Liu Pheasant, won in a dare to fight!"

"When there is only one city left in the Han land, he dares to fight!"

"In the face of 100,000 sailors, he dares to fight!"

"In the face of the Great Khan's personal expedition, he still dares!"

"This time, Runan, I can see it clearly, what is entering the enemy territory alone, what heavy snow is closing the road, and what is ambushing on all sides."

"He dares to fight!"

Pu Qianrong, who was hesitating, was shocked by Pu Qiancheng's sudden domineering momentum.

After all, this is indeed the case, and the Han Emperor has never been afraid to fight.

And judging from some of the dark lines he laid down, when the Han Emperor attacked Runan in the snow, he once put forward a "bright sword" spirit.

The two armies fight, whether they win or not, and the one who does not dare to draw his sword will definitely lose.

This theory is still relatively recognized by Pu Qianrong.

After the Han retreated to the south, at first because he still wanted to go north and regain the lost territory, he was still able to fight a few beautiful battles and have contacts with the Donghu people.

But later, with a corner of peace, he didn't want to forge ahead, so he began to lose consecutive battles and losses, and constantly lost the city and land.

This is the difference between daring to fight and not daring to fight.

Besides, the current situation seems to have to fight a war.

This time, if they didn't dare to cross the river and let the follow-up army be stopped by the Han army north of the river, it would be really difficult to fight.

Although the king of Khan said that there were so many of them that the horsewhip thrown into the water could block the flow of water, everyone knew that it was also an exaggerated metaphor to boost morale.

If you really want to be stopped in the water, maybe you won't be able to enter the army at all, and you will be trapped by death.

The words of the Khan King before he set out for the expedition can only become a joke.

swore to pro-conscription, but did not win at all.

And thinking about their predecessors, do the Donghu people really dare not fight?

But Pu Qianrong quickly calmed down in the hot blood.

Emperor Han is daring to fight.

But how dare you Pu Qiancheng?

The Great Khan also dared to fight, but didn't he die in battle?

But Pu Qiancheng is already a little enthusiastic anyway.

To say that he is still in Xuchang, he retreated and was timid, of course it is nothing.

But now, he is a pioneer, and he just retreats like this, he can't bear it!

Pu Qiancheng almost blurted out:

"Then Liu Pheasant really has some ability to use soldiers, and when he went west to rush across the water, he cracked the strategy of our army, which can be called an instant decision!"

"However, our army has the personal expedition of the Khan, the morale of the soldiers is still sufficient, and the embankment of the river is not blocked, and the Han army only has three or four thousand soldiers and horses, and only needs to take the initiative to attack, and the foundation of the pontoon bridge can be destroyed!"

"No!"

Just like entering the sage mode, Pu Qianrong's face was expressionless, no matter how sensational Pu Qiancheng said, he was unmoved, and shook his head again and again:

"If Emperor Han wants to rush across the water, he must have his self-confidence."

"And our army has only detected the whereabouts of 3,000 soldiers and horses, where is that kind of Xuan? Where is Banihan? Where is the rebel Zang Li? ”

"The enemy situation is unknown, you and I have sent away the 30,000 vanguard soldiers and horses in our hands, and we may not be able to please them."

The corners of Pu Qiancheng's mouth twitched, he finally mustered up the courage, he was moved by himself, you guy, why do you always pour cold water?

And the rush to cross the river is recognized by both of them, and now it has been robbed by the Han army, can you be convinced and endure it?

However, Pu Qiancheng still thought about it a little more, and proposed again:

"How about taking advantage of the night, feint head-on, and then kill the ...... from the water with a small force of soldiers and horses"

"Half-crossing, with a night attack, the strategy may work."

Pu Qianrong nodded first, but then shook his head and said, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to beat ......."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing Pu Qianrong's relief, Pu Qiancheng hurriedly asked:

"How can you not beat it? The Han army also has no boats, what kind of majesty can they do in the water? ”

Pu Qianrong said solemnly:

"Don't forget how Liu Bin died!"

"If you cross the water in a bathtub, don't say that our army has no strength to fight, but I am afraid of the speed of crossing the water, and it is also very human!"

"I'm afraid that the rush of one day can be completed in half a day, and by the night, I can't touch anyone at all!"

Pu Qiancheng was stunned.

But then, he sighed again and said earnestly:

"Is it really because of this that we have lost our enterprising spirit?"

"Resist Han and resist Han, is it true that you have to fight for a lifetime?"

"But now, even if you count Yizhou, it's only four and a half states!"

"We all know that the Han Emperor was in Runan, the mud horse crossed the river, and the snow night hit Runan......

At this point, Pu Qiancheng couldn't help but pause slightly:

"Donghu people, never be cowardly!"

"The Great Khan has only been dead for a few years, and the King of our Khan is now in the army, personally leading the troops."

"But you and I, just met Liu Pheasant, and even occupied the advantage of troops, have you lost the pride of the Donghu people?!"

"Is it to the point where you don't even dare to fight?"

"Even if you fight to the death, on the dead water, floating corpses are all over the place, can't you stop Liu Pheasant from taking half a step?!"

"When the army arrives, they can't capture ?!! alive"

Pu Qiancheng shouted a few words and shouted deafening to Pu Qianrong.

Then Pu Qiancheng raised his saber and looked at the bank of the water, not dodging or dodging:

"Pass the order, spare your life, and force the whole army to fight."

"He crosses the water, and I will cross the water!"

It's yang, it's really unbearable, and I'm a person who doesn't dare to ask for leave, so my mind is a mess, and I hope to recover as soon as possible
