Ruyin City.

Li Shouzhen still lives in his Great General's Mansion, and it looks bigger than the previous pomp, because no matter what he is doing, there are four masters with essence and light by his side, and even if he goes to the thatched house, there will be people staring at him with wide eyes.

A few days ago, that is, on the night of the destruction of Ruyin City, Xiao Wangzhi met him in the general's mansion, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shouzhen was dumbfounded.

"Qing Yu Zhongwang should have led the army into Dongyang Road at this time?"

This sentence made Li Shouzhen lose his soul and couldn't say a word.

In the entire Ruyin City, he was the only one who knew Qing Yu Zhongwang's arrangement, and he was even sleeping alone during this time, so there was no possibility of revealing secrets, which meant that all his plans were expected by Xiao Wangzhi.

Li Shouzhen didn't say anything in the end, and Xiao Wangzhi didn't embarrass him, but he knew that his reaction had given the other party a clear answer.

These days, he didn't think about tea and dinner, not only hoping that Qing Yu would be loyal to the divine soldiers to recapture Ruyin City, but also afraid that the little prince would fall into the trap set by Xiao Wangzhi.

Li Shouzhen, who was trapped in the mansion, definitely didn't know that Ruyin City had quietly returned to its original state.

If he was allowed to go out of the city to take a look, he would definitely think that everything that happened before was an illusion, and he was still the general of Dongyang Road who held an army of 30,000 and waited for the Huaizhou army to attack.

Outside the city, there was still a continuous camp of the Qi army, and outside the camp there were all kinds of antlers and horses, which were enough to cope with the onslaught of cavalry. It's just a slight difference that the strength of the Huaizhou army outside the city has been reduced by nearly half, and there is actually no need for so many tents at all, but it is difficult for outsiders to find the details at a glance.

Another difference is that the Huaizhou army is currently surrounded by three and one is missing, and the camp surrounds the east, south and west of Ruyin City, but it does not block the north gate.

On the city wall, the banner of the Yan army is still fluttering, and the soldiers guarding the city are also wearing the standard armor of the Yan country.

At a cursory glance, it seems that the Huaizhou army has not conquered Ruyin and is still in a posture of besieging the city, while the Yan army can still hold on.

Under the North Gate Tower, Xiao Wangzhi looked at the light armor on his body, and smiled at Wei Chigui: "Although you have to lead by example, you are still very uncomfortable after all. ”

Several generals next to him couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Wei Chi returned and said: "The Metropolitan Governor can bear with it a little longer, and when the Jing Dynasty cavalry is brought into the city, you can change into our own armor." ”

As he said, this is a gift prepared by Xiao Wangzhi to Qingyu Zhongwang.

Although the cavalry of the Jing army is strong, it is unlikely that they want to attack the large array of infantry troops with defense head-on, after all, this kind of long-distance attack can only be light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry will definitely exhaust themselves if they run so far.

When Qing Yu Zhongwang led the troops to arrive and found that he could not shake the formation of the Qi army, his only choice was to enter Ruyin through the north gate in order to supply and assist in the defense of Ruyin.

At that time, Xiao Wangzhi would naturally surprise him.

Xiao Wangzhi had already received the news that more than ten messengers from the Li Bingxue faction had galloped quickly with one person and three horses, and knew that more than 10,000 elite horsemen of the Jing Dynasty had entered Dongyang Road.

He looked at the vast world in the north and said softly, "I'm afraid that this kind of formation can't deceive Qing Yu Zhongwang." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Kang Yanxiao said cautiously: "Governor Dadu, Qing Yu is loyal to the city, does he want to take more than 10,000 cavalry to wander in the territory of Dongyang Road?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi smiled, didn't answer the question, and instead asked, "How is the situation in the city?" Are the people stable? ”

Pei Di on the other side replied: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the last general has already centralized all the generals of the Yan Army, and Wen Xiguang and other generals who have taken the initiative to surrender are not among them. The soldiers directly belonging to Li Shouzhen were dispersed to take care of them, while the others confiscated their weapons and armor. The people in the city know the rules of our army, and the people who fled to Ruyin from all over the way can testify that our army does not offend the Li people, plus the military officials sent by Yao Tingshi to appease them, and the city is currently very stable. ”

Xiao Wangzhi bowed slightly, and said to an official of the Warp Weaving Department: "Feng Xiaowen is still recuperating from his injuries, you have to keep an eye on it during this time, and if you don't understand something, go to him." ”

The man bowed and answered, "Yes, Grand Duke." ”

Xiao Wangzhi said to the generals: "Let's go and do things separately, let the soldiers work hard for a while." ”

"Obey!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Xiao Wangzhi raised his hand and pressed it on the wall, his eyes calm and deep.

……

Two more days later.

Dozens of miles north of Ruyin City, Luoshan County.

Pu Luhun, the main general of the Jing army's foot soldiers, followed a young man respectfully, and said humbly: "Little prince, the city has prepared the supplies needed by the army, and the manpower arranged by the last general is being carried, and the military rations, forage, and even the accompanying soldiers are all ready. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Good job." ”

Pu Lu Hun showed a flattered expression when he landed, lowered his head and said: "The little prince praises falsely, this is the duty of the last general. ”

The two walked into the main hall, and after Qing Yuzhong sat down, he said, "Keep the sycophants and shoot them later." Let me ask you, how is it going in the south these days? ”

The so-called south side naturally refers to Ruyin City.

Pu Luhun looked ashamed and said, "Little Lord, our army can only confirm that Ruyin City is still holding on. Originally, the last general could also send some scouts to the vicinity of Ruyin City to investigate, and at first he was indeed able to find out that the Huaizhou army of Southern Qi had surrounded Ruyin. However, ten days ago, Xiao Wangzhi suddenly sent a group of soldiers and horses to station Jishantun more than ten miles away in the south, and a large number of ranger scouts and spies from the Warp Weaving Division were all over Jishantun, and the last general's manpower was really unable to cross over. ”

Qing Yuzhong's eyes froze, and his tone became cold: "Ten days ago? In other words, you can't be sure of the situation in Ruyin City since ten days ago, so how can you confirm that the Yan army is still holding on? ”

Pu Luhun was slightly stunned, and said a little dazedly: "Little prince, the Ruyin city wall is tall and strong, and Li Shouzhen still has 30,000 troops in his hands, so under normal circumstances, there is no problem in guarding it for a year and a half." Even if Xiao Wangzhi used his troops like a god, it was impossible for him to let the Huaizhou army fly directly into the city. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang said coldly: "In this case, why did Xiao Wangzhi deliberately cut off your sight? ”

Pu Luhun was speechless, and after a moment hesitated: "Maybe he wants to prevent our army from interfering with the main force under his command?" ”

"Pig brains."

Qing Yu Zhongwang rebuked mercilessly, and said: "You only have 3,000 foot soldiers in your hands, if you rush into the battlefield, Xiao Wangzhi will only be overjoyed, why should you be guarded against you like a thief?" ”

"But...... But Ruyin ......"

Pu Luhun gradually couldn't speak, because Qing Yuzhong wanted to remind him like this, and he gradually realized that it was strange.

Qing Yuzhongwang's brows furrowed, and he had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.

When he learned the news of Lei Ze's defeat when he went south, he was planning to turn defeat into victory, after all, he couldn't go south just to defend Heluo, this kind of thing can be dealt with properly, so why let him run in vain when he grabbed war achievements in the north?

So he asked Pu Luhun to divide his troops to the south, and secretly ordered Li Shouzhen to only defend Ruyin, and at the same time let the partial division led by Lu Shen continue to advance westward, just to attract all Xiao Wangzhi's troops to Ruyin City, and then gallop thousands of miles to complete a surprise attack.

However, after listening to Pu Luhun's account, the keen sense of touch cultivated by leading troops for a long time made Qing Yuzhong suspicious.

If Pu Luhun had nearly 10,000 troops in his hands, he could understand why Xiao Wangzhi was so cautious, but just 3,000 people could scare the governor of Huaizhou like a great enemy?

He got up and paced slowly in the hall, and Pu Luhun didn't dare to stand beside him.

"If Ruyin Has Fallen......"

Qing Yuzhong was talking to himself, and something suddenly popped into his mind.

It was when he led this cavalry from the Swallow Ridge camp that his father sent his cronies to bring him a message, that is, to beware of the Southern Qi plotting to seize Heluo.

Heluo?

There are more than 10,000 defenders in Yaoshan Pass, tens of thousands of defenders in Heluo City, and 15,000 elite Jing troops under the command of Mou Lianghu.

Unless......

Qing Yu Zhongwang stopped, turned his head to look at Pu Luhun and asked, "You just said that Xiao Wangzhi sent a team of soldiers and horses to be stationed in Jishantun more than ten miles to the south?" ”

Pu Luhun nodded, and then hurriedly said: "That Qi army withdrew yesterday afternoon, and the last general sent people to follow to check, and found that they returned to the Qi army camp outside Ruyin City. Because the scouts under Xiao Wangzhi are really powerful, our people don't dare to get too close, and we can only be sure that there is still the banner of the Yan army on the head of Ruyin City, and there are traces of the tragedy after the big battle outside the city, but the Yan army can still hold it. ”

Qing Yuzhong looked at him steadily, and looked at this brave military general in his heart.

"Little prince, is it ......"

"You immediately inform your subordinates to prepare with both hands, and tomorrow you will either go to Ruyin with the main force of our army, or immediately retreat to the north, and I will send someone to inform you of the specific military order."

Qing Yuzhong interrupted him bluntly, and at the same time walked outside, leaving Pu Luhun standing in a daze.

Early the next morning, more than 3,000 cavalry set out from Luoshan County and headed south under the leadership of Qingyu Zhongwang, leaving 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers still in the city.

In the afternoon, within fifteen miles of Ruyin City, the cavalry of the Jing army discovered the cavalry scouts of the Huaizhou army.

Qing Yu Zhongwang did not send people to chase and kill the cavalry of the Huaizhou army who were running south frantically, but still moved forward unhurriedly, but was extremely careful, trying to avoid the area where there was an obscuring line of sight, and only walked along the open field.

When he saw the outline of Ruyin City, it seemed as if a great battle had just ended, and the various units of the Huaizhou Army had already returned to the camp.

Noticing the appearance of this Jing army cavalry, the Huaizhou army immediately stood in battle, while the Yan army at the head of the city erupted in earth-shattering cheers, as if to welcome the arrival of reinforcements.

Two miles away from the city, Qing Yuzhong rode his horse and stopped in a safe position, looking up at the northern wall of Ruyin City.

He was flanked by more than 3,000 fierce cavalry.

The city walls were crowded with people, and the chaotic voices came out one after another, nothing more than to express the joy of the arrival of reinforcements.

A group of generals eagerly waved to Qingyu Zhongwang, and then a general came to the city tower surrounded by a group of people, who seemed to be Li Shouzhen, the general of Dongyang Road.

The cavalry of the Jing army did not respond, and Qing Yu Zhongwang just looked at the opposite side with cold eyes.

Time passed little by little, and seeing that the cavalry of the Jing army seemed to have no intention of entering the city, the city gradually quieted down.

After a long time, Qing Yu's loyal and majestic voice resounded through the four fields.

"Huaizhou Xiao Du Du is here? I am happy and loyal, and I would like to see you! ”

There was a dead silence above and below the city.

Qing Yuzhong stared at the vicinity of the castle tower until the general who was suspected of being Li Shouzhen retreated, and another man in the armor of the Yan army appeared.

A melodious voice came from afar.

"The little prince trekked through mountains and rivers, and raided for thousands of miles, why not enter the city?"

This is the voice of Wei Chigui, after all, it is far away, and Xiao Wangzhi can't urge his internal strength.

Qing Yu Zhongwang didn't care if the person who spoke was Xiao Wangzhi, because this sentence had clearly told him that Ruyin City had fallen into the hands of the Huaizhou army, and the city and outside the city were all disguised by Xiao Wangzhi.

"Xiao Du has good means and conquered Ruyin in a few days, I admire it very much."

"The little prince praises falsely, after all, you can't see through the truth here at a glance, it can be said that it is quite a father's style."

At this moment, Qing Yu Zhongwang only felt that his face was hot, and the blood in his chest was surging.

All his plans turned into a clumsy joke in front of Xiao Wangzhi's result of taking Ruyin lightly, and the so-called long-distance travel of thousands of miles was nothing but self-righteous heroism.

He took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "It seems that Xiao Dudu wants to fight with me, and now that I am here, there are only more than 3,000 horsemen around me, does Xiao Dudu not dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

"This governor is not good at running, and he is not as good as the little prince who leads the army to travel thousands of miles and advance and retreat freely. I have heard that the cavalry of Jingguo is unparalleled in the world, and this governor has now seen it, and it is worthy of its reputation. ”

Qing Yuzhong grabbed the reins tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out.

He exhaled a turbid breath and laughed at himself: "Thanks to Governor Xiao's kind words, I will lead the troops back to Heluo now." If you don't want to let me go, send troops after me. ”

"Little prince, it's good to go. It's just that the way back is difficult and dangerous, and I hope to be careful and cherished, don't miss the horse, and let Marshal Qingyu send the white-haired man to the black-haired man, which is the sorrow of the world. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang was naturally full of resentment, and the relatives next to him looked at the city wall in the distance angrily, and the cavalry of the Jing army were all restless.

It's not easy to admit your mistakes.

Qing Yu Zhongwang was silent for a moment, and arched his hand over there and said: "Today, I know that there are people outside the sky, and this time Xiao Dudu's methods have benefited me a lot and I have been taught." In the future, I will ask Xiao Dudu for advice, and I hope that you will still be able to stand proudly on the battlefield at that time. ”

His eyes were full of blood, and he forcibly suppressed all the emotions in his heart, turned his horse's head and shouted angrily: "Go!" ”

More than 3,000 riders swept northward like flowing water.

In the case that the two sides are not entangled, the Huaizhou army infantry will definitely not be able to leave each other.

Under the north tower, all the generals have different expressions, some people show sarcasm at the back of Qing Yu Zhongwang, some people are thoughtful and secretly groaning, and some people have solemn expressions.

Xiao Wangzhi's voice sounded in their ears.

"Xiao Hong, you immediately send a fast horse to make a detour to inform Li Bingxue, so that she and the Seven Star Army Lin Xi can deal with it carefully, if you can't do anything, don't stop it, this more than 10,000 Jing Army cavalry is not so easy to deal with. Let them act when they see the opportunity, if they can't retreat into Baotai Mountain, Qing Yuzhong can't help them in the mountains, and he is in a hurry to return to Heluo now, so he shouldn't take care of the rest. ”

"Obey!"

"Kang Yanxiao, you immediately lead the Taixing army out of Jishantun to prevent Qing Yu Zhongwang from killing a horse gun, and at the same time let the scouts spread out as much as possible, and keep an eye on the other party going north on the premise of ensuring safety."

"Obey!"

"Pei Di, you lead the Zhenbei Army out of Fengfu City in the west, and then steadily move west along the Qingliu Pass, and at the same time send someone to inform Lu Shen of what happened here."

"Obey!"

After arranging everything, Xiao Wangzhi walked to the city wall, looked at the Jing cavalry that was gradually moving away in the north, and let out a soft sigh for a long time.

"It's a pity."

For the book No. 004 alliance leader "just come and see" plus more completed. Today's 3 more, still owe 21 more.
