Five days before Pei Zhen and Murong Cheng teamed up to complete this stunning victory.

Yansu Cliff, only 200 miles away from the capital of Daduan, Tianjing City, is named after the place where the geese go south to spend the winter and stay overnight.

As soon as the sky was bright, a large group of armored and neat cavalry regiments surrounded Yansu Cliff.

From among the cavalry, another small group turned over and dismounted, surrounded by two people, and walked towards the clouds and mist on the top of the Yansu cliff.

When they approached the top of the cliff, there seemed to be an invisible line, so that the accompanying sergeants silently stopped and watched the two walk up to the top of the cliff.

The mountainside is covered with clouds and mist, but on the top of the cliff, it is bright.

The sea of clouds is surging, the golden light is dazzling, and the mountains in the distance are all emerging with some spires, and the eyes are looking far away, and the heart is relaxed.

Xue Lu, who was dressed in a black imperial robe, looked at the different beautiful scenery in front of him with satisfaction, which he had never seen in Beiyuan, and suddenly said, "Wu Ti, if you slap me down, this throne is yours." ”

Beside Xue Lu, the Xianbei Iron Cavalry Communist, who was wearing light armor and carrying a scimitar at his waist, hurriedly bowed down, "Your Majesty!"

A pair of hands gently shook him, and said with a smile: "Just kidding you, where is this seat so easy to sit firmly." ”

"The minister is only willing to serve His Majesty, before and after the saddle. Wu Ti wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As soon as the sun came out, the clouds and mist melted like ice and snow, and the field of vision suddenly became clear.

Xue Lu looked at the mountains and forests under his feet, with the fragrance of flowers, the roar of beasts, the birds flying, and the insects chirping, and said with emotion: "This Southern Dynasty is really the Southern Dynasty, the scenery is unique, and you can still see this green at this time." It is said that in September and October, there is still a beautiful scenery where the mountains are red and the forests are dyed, I don't know if we can see it. ”

Wu Ti said in a deep voice: "You must be able to see it." ”

"Huh. Xue Lu was noncommittal, "That depends on where Han Feilong will set the final encirclement." ”

Wu Ti was shocked and looked at Xue Lu in horror.

Xue Lu snorted lightly, "You people, really I don't understand military affairs?"

Wu Ti suddenly remembered that when His Majesty Emperor Yuan was young, he also carried a sword and jumped on a horse and led the troops to the battle.

It's just that that time was too long, and then the image of His Majesty's intoxication with Fengyue was too profound that most people had forgotten it.

"Is it that if I don't make it clear to you today, you are going to play a drama of risking death to admonish?"

Looking at Xue Lu's playful smile, Wu Ti's heart sank, and he was even more in awe, "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

"Speak well, and no outsider needs to kneel down at every turn. Xue Lu said lightly, Wu Ti knelt halfway, and stood up.

Xue Lu bent down, plucked two dog's tail grasses, held one in his mouth, and gave one to Wu Ti, who took it with both hands and skillfully held it in his mouth.

"If you can't even understand Han Feilong's thoughts, there is no need to fight this battle for a long time. Xue Lu sighed.

Wu Ti finally spoke, "Then why does Your Majesty still follow his train of thought?"

"It's difficult!" Xue Lu sighed for the second time, "Tell me what Han Feilong is thinking?"

"First, in the process of continuous retreat, relying on the city and familiarity with the terrain, we will consume our vital strength; second, find favorable terrain and fight a decisive battle with the main force of our army, this terrain must be able to encircle the main force of our army, otherwise if we see that the situation is not right, if we temporarily avoid the edge, the mobility of the Southern Korean army will be completely inferior to ours; third, we will lengthen our army line, so that our hundreds of thousands of troops cannot form a joint force; fourth, Han Feilong must have a hidden backhand. ”

Wu Ti said his thoughts like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, obviously thinking about it for a long time.

Xue Lu nodded, "I'll tell you what I think." ”

He chewed the dog's tail grass gently, regardless of the majesty and image of the emperor, he casually found a stone and sat down, "We have a total of nearly 350,000 troops from the Blue Wolf Plain, those princes who have entered the soil have brought tens of thousands, Helian Qingshan has also taken away 20,000, and there are still 278000 left, although it has lost 40,000 or 50,000, counting the horses, there are still more than 600,000 mouths, how much grain and grass do people have to consume every day to eat horses and chew, you should know, what is the most lacking in our grassland?"

"Although there is a saying that food is given to the enemy, but if you look at Han Feilong, there are many thieves, the walls are clear, everything that can be taken away is taken away, and those that can't be taken away are burned, we can't afford to drag it off!"

He looked at Wu Ti's stern expression and smiled, "Don't be so serious, change your perspective, what are we here for? If he Han Feilong doesn't retreat, won't we move forward? As long as we don't take the enemy lightly, it's just a change of battlefield." Why should we prairie warriors be afraid?"

Wu Ti nodded, "But Your Majesty still has to be careful." ”

"It depends on whether our horses' hooves are faster, our scimitars are sharper, or our larger-end formations are stronger and our shields are stronger. ”

The monarchs and ministers on the Yansu Cliff solved their doubts, and the capital of Daduan was also not peaceful.

This unrest does not mean that there is any chaos, after all, there is a sword in hand, and the Chang'an Sword Immortal who has been stable for a long time is here, but the people's hearts are unfair.

Yang Haogao sat on the throne and listened expressionlessly to the chaotic quarrel in the court at the moment.

There is only one center of the quarrel, and now Han Feilong, the commander of the Northern Army.

There are obviously more factions advocating the replacement of Han Feilong, and their reasons are also very good, Han Feilong has been defeated repeatedly, and he has not achieved an inch, and he has abandoned the land and the city, so that the situation has eroded to this point, and the people of Tianjing City are panicking, and even the regime is in danger of overturning.

Han Feilong deserves to die, if he is not disgraced from his official position, why is the people angry!

Although the voice advocating continued support for Han Feilong is small, but it is also sonorous and powerful, Han Feilong is not an inch, although the result of each battle is a retreat, but it has effectively killed and injured the Beiyuan army, according to the military report, each battle is less to say that more than 3,000 enemy troops have been annihilated, and there are more than 10,000 victories, and every time they retreat, they are fully prepared, not fleeing in embarrassment, almost all the main soldiers have been preserved, as of now, the battle losses of both sides have been 50,000 to 6,000.

What's more, the change of commander in battle is very easy to shake the morale of the army, at this moment, the Beiyuan army is less than two hundred miles away from Tianjing City, who dares to gamble?

Someone from the other faction immediately said: "Then isn't it a gamble to pin all the fortunes of the country on Han Feilong alone?"

The two sides are noisy and shouting, making a mess, the court is like a vegetable market, and when it comes to excitement, the big sleeves are dancing wildly, and the saliva is flying.

Fortunately, so far, no one has dared to say the suggestion to let Yang Hao hunt in the south.

Xun Wei, who had been silent, took a step forward gently, and the court immediately became strangely quiet.

In the past few days, even if there has been a lot of uproar in the court, even if the snowflake-like recitals have poured into His Majesty's desk, even if the great general Hu Luguang has come to the court to cry and beg for a change of commander with the support of the other two military giants, His Majesty and the national teacher have not said a word about Han Feilong's departure, it seems that they can't sit still now?

Xun Wei smiled slightly, "You see that Han Feilong is defeated repeatedly, and he is extremely guilty, how do I think that our General Han is repeatedly defeated and tenacious?"

In the court, the ministers were dumbfounded.

Yang Hao said in a deep voice, "If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and if you lose your land, you will lose your land." Since it is a national war, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. I don't doubt it!"

No matter how loud these people quarreled before, when the person who can really make the decision says two sentences lightly, everything will be decided.

In the side hall, Yang Hao's expression was not as calm and steady as Fang Cai in the court, after all, Xue Lu's army was only two hundred miles away.

He hurriedly summoned Nangong Lin into the palace, and said with a little anxiety: "What's going on over there?"

Beitangwang and Nangong Lin have almost become the most important reliance of Daduan today.

With the two of them, Yang Hao is almost equivalent to the imperial driver's personal expedition, and the information on the front line can be known in an instant.

It is precisely because of this that Han Feilong can report his plan to the rear at any time, and Yang Hao and Xun Wei can rest assured.

Nangong Lin silently took out a pen and paper, wrote down a string of numbers, and handed it to Xun Wei.

After Yang Hao flipped through the book, he said in a deep voice: "There may be an answer tomorrow." ”

-----------------------

When Xue Lu, under the protection of the cowardly Xue Wei, followed the Chinese army and arrived at the Loess Ridge, Wu Ti's front army had already cleared the surroundings.

Wu Ti came to Xue Lu's tent and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is a town ahead, do you want to take a detour?"

Xue Lu was puzzled: "What's the point?"

"That town is called Vermilion Town. Wu Ti said worriedly.

In the tent, Xue Lu, who was flipping through the nearby topographical map, smiled slightly, "Tell the whole army to prepare, that is the decisive battle place that Han Feilong has chosen." ”

Vermilion Town, Zhulu Town.

If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you Han Feilong don't have that ability!

Zhulu Town, backed by a big river called Beidu, is full of wooden houses and attics, and the terrain is undulating.

On the hill to the west of the town, Humphrey's wartime headquarters was located here.

At this moment, there is only one old man by his side, and that is Beitangwang.

He has a brocade hat and a mink fur, and now he no longer has half of the poor and sour image of the old man who told the story, and there is even a slight amount of rich fat on his cheeks.

He looked at Han Feilong, "Han Dashuai is so sure that Emperor Yuan will come?"

Han Feilong smiled, "These days, how does Mr. Beitang feel about Emperor Yuan?"

Beitang Wang thought for a while, "He is eloquent and strategic, and he is not a reckless man. ”

"Yes! Several battles have reduced their number of nearly 50,000 men, and this complex army has not survived at all, which makes us have to wonder if the military and political affairs of Beiyuan have undergone a major change. We retreated again and again, no matter how disguised he was, he was not hurried, unhurried, never aggressive, and never flinched. Han Feilong also nodded sincerely when he talked about Xue Lu, "I said before that Xue Zheng is the military god of the Northern Abyss, I think this Yuan Emperor, except for his personal cultivation, the rest is not far behind!"

Hearing that Han Feilong seemed to admire Xue Lu very much, Beitangwang was a little puzzled, "Then why is Han Dashuai so relaxed, so sure that he will enter this ambush circle." ”

Han Feilong smiled and said, "It's not what I said, it was said by the National Teacher." The more powerful the person, the more conceited he is, if he walks around this Vermilion Town today, even if he succeeds later, it will be a thorn in his heart. ”

"How can you be so arrogant in a military matter?" Beitangwang exclaimed!

"No, no, no, it's not willful. This Zhulu Town, is the most convenient road to the south of Tianjing City, only here the water level in the north is the lowest, can cross the river on horseback, no need to build a ship, if the detour at least a few days away, he can afford it, his grain and grass can not be consumed. He didn't come to plunder this time, but to conquer, and it was the same wherever he fought, and it was a matter of unwantedness for him to solve the main force of our northern army as soon as possible. ”

Beitang Wang felt that the matter of this battlefield was really incredible, "Even if he knew that there was an ambush here, he would definitely come over?"

Han Feilong shook his head, looking at the peaceful town below the mountain with fiery anticipation in his eyes, "If he knew that it was such an ambush, he would probably prefer to take a detour." ”

The first horse stepped through the archway at the entrance of Zhulu Town, and also shattered the strange tranquility of the town, and this battle that will determine the fortunes of the two sides in the next 50 years is about to begin.
