The Han army has been contained and dispatched, but there is still no news of Gongzi. Si Mang sent more sentinels to patrol the direction of Yanhe, and at the same time called all the battalion divisions and school commanders.

According to the practice of the Wei State, the officials above the rank of the middle soldier of the people's army were filled by the soldiers, and after the war, the people's troops returned to their hometowns and the soldiers returned to the camp. After the Battle of Huayang, the military soldiers suffered heavy losses, and the senior officers above the rank of the military soldiers were usually Wei nobles, and most of them were frightened and could not take leave one by one; Middle-level officers such as Bo, Si, and Shui had already suffered huge losses in the war, and most of the remaining officers were promoted to newly established posts to train the civilian army, and a few who were still in the military battalions could no longer or did not dare to go into battle. So this time, Si Mang didn't bring out a single military officer, and all the officers were served by the retainers of Xinling Jun in the fiefdom. Si Mang asked Xinlingjun to send a few disciples to help, and Xinlingjun was not stingy, and directly sent him a hundred warriors to protect his safety, and also asked two gentlemen, Jin and Cao, who were proficient in battle formations, to assist him. However, these retainers and doormen don't seem to be convinced by Si Mang, they usually treat each other politely, and they don't say a word at critical moments, Si Mang doesn't dare to offend, except for morning and evening greetings, they don't dare to let them do any other work.

Fortunately, Si Mang was born in a noble family, and he has seen a lot of these things, and he has already come up with countermeasures. Under the officers of all ranks, he set up another assistant, and selected one or two hundred of the better ones from the 1,000 standing army. The day-to-day management of the army and the arrangement of troops in wartime are all completed by this group of people. Although those retainers and doormen usually talk loudly and seem to know everything, they actually don't understand the specific business at all, and they can't interfere at all. The two sides are all right. Just when there is a military meeting, it is more troublesome: the retainers, the guests, and the actual executors have to gather together, and there are a large number of them; There are also many issues such as etiquette and status to reconcile the self-esteem needs of different groups, which is tiresome! In order to avoid trouble, Si Mang hardly held a meeting along the way.

Looking at the black people in the seat, Si Mang first saluted everyone, and then said: "The matter is urgent, I would like to ask Mr. Zhu." In the former, we were ordered by the king to join forces with Qin and Han to fight together. The Qin and Han armies have entered the army. It was heard that the Qin army had retreated, and the Han army was alone. When the time is cold, the soldiers should be embarrassed by the enemy, so the spring will be warm. Mr. Sui humiliated and lived together in the wilderness. Today, Zhao Guo came to the aid, and his general was Tian Zhao Hao, with tens of thousands of troops. Its front has been defeated by the South Korean army. Now that the Korean army has been defeated and retreated to Zheng Guo, it is to discuss with Mr., where should I go? ”

One person said: "The ancient destroyer is just serving." Yan and have been served, the Qin army has retreated, so why return to live and kill it? ”

One person said: "The son said, there is a way in the world, and the conquest of rites and music comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. Now the king is cutting down, and the ancient is unheard of. This so-called world has no way! ”

One person said: "When you don't fight, you don't run, you don't obey, and you are courteous." Today, the winter felling, and the spring is warm, not the time! ”

……

For example, all the gentlemen in the audience rose up one after another, quoted scriptures, and discussed magnificently. Si Mang secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to interrupt, patiently waited for each important person to finish speaking, and concluded: "The teachings of the gentleman are all the teachings of the saints. "Give away all the people who are waiting for you!

After everyone left, Mr. Jin touched Mr. Cao lightly, and the two deliberately dragged it to the end. When everyone walked away, the two of them saluted Si Mang and said: "The Qin army has left, the Han army has been defeated, the Zhao army can't be a pawn, I wish to leave quickly!" ”

Si Mang said: "Sir's words are really golden. How should we leave it? Today, the first defeat of South Korea must go through the party, out of Nanyang, I will go with me, and I will be tired. ”

Mr. Jin said: "Wei's words are true. More than 20,000 troops were defeated, and there were more than enough successes and more failures! If you block my way, although it is not difficult to break it, you will be tired! The hometown of Wei, Anyi, is in the east of the river, and it will be possible to reach it from the top party down. ”

Si Mang said: "Mr. knows what he does? ”

Mr. Jin said: "I have heard of the old things, and I don't know how to do it. However, the people of the people or those who have Tong'an Yi will visit them. Si Mang thanked Mr. Jin. Then he ordered the battalions to visit those who knew the way to Anyi. On the one hand, he ordered to intensify the investigation of the Yanhe, and on the other hand, he ordered each battalion to prepare one stone of dry food per person.

It is dozens of miles away from Yi, and it is at least a whole day to walk back. Si Mang could only set up sentry posts on the mountains on both sides of the valley road to monitor them. For two days, the Zhao army did not attack. In contrast, the situation in the south was very bad: the Korean soldiers who were forcibly repatriated lacked food and clothing, the strong plundered the valleys, and the weak were killed in the valleys. Due to the vigilance of the Wei army in the valley and the fact that the troops were not allowed to enter the valley, the situation in the area was temporarily stable, but Si Mang could still feel the great pressure. It is conceivable that if the Wei army loses its geographical advantage and meets the Korean army in the narrow valley, what it will be like!

For a whole day, the soldiers did not find anyone to visit Anyi. Most people haven't even heard of Anyi anywhere. Si Mang was a little desperate! He decided that if he couldn't find a village guide to Anyi tomorrow, he could only risk rushing out of the narrow valley and confronting the rout army face to face, and make a bloody way. After a little hesitation, the Zhao army attacked, and there was almost no possibility of getting out; Even if the Zhao army is repulsed, it will probably not be able to go back to Daliang.

The next day, the good news came, and the soldiers of the sentry found more than a dozen people walking on the ridge. When Gongzi saw Wei Bing, he said "ouch" and collapsed on the ground.

The retainers half-mixed up and half-carried the prince, and returned to Yicheng with Wei Bing. When the son saw Si Mang, he was like a milk swallow returning to the nest, and he actually hugged Si Mang's thighs and cried bitterly!

Si Mang tried his best to help, and all the retainers fell to the ground together to persuade him, where could he stop. It was easy to stop crying, and the son blamed: "Fortunately, the captain is here, and the minister has almost nothing to go to!" "I'm going to cry again. Si Mang took the opportunity to break free of his thighs, helped Gongzi up, and said, "Gongzi is fine, God, fortunately!" Don't be sad! Childe still sobbed.

Si Mang said: "Zhao Jun is coming, and the son must have something to teach me!" ”

The retainers all stood up and asked Si Mang and Gongzi to sit down, and a group of retainers sat below. Si Mang ordered the soldiers to prepare hot porridge, and was shocked by the prince, while looking at the retainers, and said: "The princes have come with you, and there will be military information to tell you!" ”

Gongzi blamed: "I can't, I hope you will tell the truth!" ”

The retainer at the head said: "The minister is right. It was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and it was difficult for the soldiers to control the strings with halberds. The prince was compassionate to the hardships of the soldiers, but he surrounded the city in vain, and ate in the city to wait for the spring to be warm. However, a few days ago, Zhao Jun suddenly arrived, fifty miles east of the city. I met them with an army. Zhao Jun was the first to go out of the north mountain, all naked and holding halberds, strong as an ox, throwing boulders in his hands, injuring countless of our army, so he was invincible and retreated to Yanhe. When Gongzi heard that Zhao's army was coming, he was invincible, so he retreated at night. And Zhao Jun suddenly arrived, set fire to all sides, and lost Zhao's hand. The prince and the ministers have crossed the mountains and mountains, but they have to get rid of it! ”

Si Mang said: "How much is Zhao Yuanjun?" ”

The retainer was a little embarrassed, and said: "The mountain road is crooked, what you see is unknown, and you don't know its geometry?" ”

Si Mang was very disappointed. As the supreme commander of Yan You, he lost the battle and didn't even know the strength of his opponent. He didn't want to get any useful advice from such generals and assistants, so he asked directly: "From Yi to Anyi, what is the way, and what does Mr. know?" ”

The retainer was a little surprised, and said, "Why go to Anyi?" ”

Si Mang said to him with a little mockery: "The defeated of the Han army, although they have left the country, they still move to the south of the province, and they seem to want to fight Zhao again. Childe wants to share it? ”

The retainer felt very ashamed, bowed his head and said, "Why delay? ”

Si Mang said: "Or want to plunder in the wilderness, or want to wait for the spring warmth." ”

Gongzi blamed: "The defeated army has no money to return to the country, and the ministers are guilty." Now it's just sin! ”

Si Mang saw that Gongzi still had some self-knowledge, so he didn't say more, and said: "The southern road is blocked by the rout, and it is difficult to get through. ”

Childe blamed: "No! Please go all the way, and I hope the captain will listen to it. ”

Si Mang was a little surprised when he saw that Gongzi had a rare idea, and said, "Childe said!" ”

Gongzi blamed: "With this westward direction, there is a road to the party city." This way is remote, and there will be no other obstacles. I am willing to go to the party first, and it is a reconsideration! ”

Si Mang looked at Gongzi's retainers. The group of retainers patted their asses together and said, "Wei Gongzi, you can't do this." This is the best policy! "Si Mang hated them so much that he wanted to kick them to death! But he put on a posture of asking for advice, and asked in detail about the situation of this road. Then let people take the son to rest.

On the second day, Si Mang asked people to take a battalion, led by a retainer who knew it, to explore the road first. Then battalion by battalion was opened. On the first day, five battalions were released, and one by one they came back to report that it was a mountain road, which was difficult to walk, but it was clearly recognizable. Si Mang only let the second batch of five battalions set off with baggage and livestock the next day. After another half a day, he personally led the remaining ten battalions to set off. He was especially wary of those Han soldiers who were entrenched outside the valley, lest he miss a little and be caught by them and cause some accidents.

He put one of the most elite battalions at the end, and did not slowly withdraw until the other battalions had entered the valley. At this time, the Han soldiers outside the valley had already seen that the Wei army was leaving, and one by one, like wild dogs, they were staring at with red eyes, ready to pounce and bite at any time. At this time, seeing the Wei army withdrawing from the valley, someone rushed in shouting. Si Mang gave an order, and the crossbow arrows were fired in unison, knocking down one piece, and the rest of the people shouted and retreated. After half the salary, they rushed in again, only to see that the Wei army had retreated to the valley to the west. However, they did not force the Wei army, but only rushed to the nearest Yizhong and robbed frantically. The city had already taken precautions, and a group of strong men insisted on fighting them with various instruments, and the next city also rushed to help. At this time, Taniguchi's Han soldiers also rushed in and joined the battle...... Gradually, the battle unfolded in the various towns of the city. One side is desperately defending the homeland, the other side is forced by cold and hunger, and both sides are at a life-and-death juncture, and they are killing each other.
