Quan Changyi died in battle, and only more than 1,200 elite cavalry escaped back, which was a disastrous defeat!

Fortunately, this was under Xu You's command. The military law was not so strict and the rights and responsibilities were clear. Everyone only had to pay the price for their actions. If the general was in Xiliang in the past, all the escaped troops would have to be buried with them. The consequence was that the troops would either fight to the death or surrender on the spot.

But for Xu You and Chu, every veteran who had seen blood was precious. Generals were incompetent and should not bear the blame. Therefore, even if they were defeated, there were only a very small number of soldiers who fled and surrendered, and the few could be ignored.

When Mingjing learned of the battle situation, he moved forward quickly, gathered the defeated soldiers, and set up a formation. With strict military discipline and an offensive and defensive attitude, he forced Yuchi Xin and Li Chong, who were trying to expand the results of the battle in chaos, and then stationed on the spot next to Yanming Lake, twenty miles away from Luzhuang. While scattering the scouts in teams, he waited for the main force to arrive and meet.

At the end of Si, flags were blocking the sun, dust was flying in the distance, people were like insects and ants, winding. The main force of the Chu army finally arrived at Yanming Lake. Xu You moved the Central Army Hall to Mingjing's front army tent, and then held an emergency military discussion.

Since the Wei army's scouts had an absolute advantage in the wild, the scouts sent by Ming Jing were unable to control the battlefield after hedging and losing in the middle of the night. So far, they have only obtained the enemy's number and know nothing about the specific deployment of the troops.

"Yuchi Xin, a general of the cavalry who was above the third rank, was from a famous family and a noble family in Xianbei. He was arrogant and irritable, and loved to whip soldiers. However, many years ago, King Yuanxing of Gaoyang rebelled in Bingzhou. He only brought five hundred cavalry to destroy Yuanxing's 60,000 army, and killed Yuanxing's head, making a famous all over the world. In this battle, he rushed left and right, and was shot to death in total five horses, so he was also called the Five Horse General!"

The Winter Solstice knew everything about the famous generals under Yuan Mulan and said, "Yuchi Xin was brave, but he was very cautious in using troops. He was not as reckless as Duguping, and it was difficult to deal with."

Xu You leaned against the White Tiger Chair, tapped his right index finger meaninglessly on his side, and said, "Where is Li Chong?"

"Li Chong, the general of the Longwei Zhonglang in the third rank, was born in the Guanlong family. He grew up with his father in Pingcheng since childhood. He was smart and intelligent, and had both civil and military affairs. Later, he was recruited by Yuan Guang as the chief clerk of the shogunate. He went to the border town to fight for the border town. He had the strategy of supra border and the decisive victory. He had earned great achievements. He was humble and knew how to advance and retreat. When he was in the six towns, he always avoided the road left and waited for the other party to walk by before he was willing to go on the road. He dared to take on heavy responsibilities in the war to overcome difficulties. After the war, he discussed his merits, but he hid aside and could not find them. People in the Northern Dynasty played the role of the wooden chicken Zhonglang."

The wooden chicken means being dumb as if it is dumb, which is a ridiculous joke on Li Chong who only knows how to fight for his own hard work, but does not know how to compete for merit, and is as stupid as a wooden chicken.

Dongzhi emphasized: "Don't be fooled by this title. Not only is Li Chong not stupid or stupid, but he is loved by the middle and lower-level soldiers of the Wei army, which is more difficult to deal with than Yuchi Xin."

After listening to the introduction of the Winter Solstice, everyone in the tent was silent. Everyone knew that they had encountered a strong enemy this time. Quan Changyi was also a famous general in Western Liang, but he died in this battle. It can be seen how powerful the opponent is.

However, this was not unexpected. The power of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been proven countless times over the past hundred years. It can be called a famous general with strong soldiers and horses. It is a tiger lying in the north.

Even if this tiger is the weakest, when it shows its fangs and claws, no matter who it is, it still has to pay the price of bleeding.

"Let's discuss it!" Xu You's face looked like water, and there was no sign of happiness or anger.

He Ru said: "The Army Office thought that it should not take too long to take Luzhuang. It should be able to launch a strong attack. After the Luzhuang was captured, the total force of Yuchi Xin and Li Chong would not exceed ten thousand. Although the flags and flags were counted as many as tens of thousands, I expected that he was bluffing, so he just sent doubts. Otherwise, he would not let more than 1,200 people run away in the battle situation where the time, place and people were in a good position. With enough troops, we can crush the enemy, defeat or annihilate most of them, occupy Luzhuang, and then find out the enemy situation and decide whether to attack Zhongmu."

Xu You nodded, looked at Tan Zhuo, and said, "What do you say about Sima's Mansion?"

Tan Zhuo said: "I agree with the opinions of the sacrificial wine! The 100,000 troops here. If they confront the enemy, the camp will not be a matter of time. It will take only time. It is better to suppress them head-on. With my troops, we should be sure to win."

Sima and Jijiu had the same opinion, which almost meant that the combat plan was confirmed. Xu You pondered for a moment, then asked Tan Xiaozu again, and said, "What do you think?"

Tan Xiaozu said: "Military strength is our army that has an absolute advantage, but one thing is that the terrain of Zhongmu must be ignored..."

Zhongmu has been alluvial by the Yellow River and the Ganggu water for many years. The territory is intersected with hills and depressions, and the landforms are changing. If you look at the overall situation, the west is high and the east is low, and the north is low and the middle is low, like an inclined cattle trough, forming a huge fan-shaped tearing zone. Luzhuang is at the intersection of this fan-shaped tearing zone. When you break through Luzhuang, there is a flat alluvial plain in front of it, which is convenient for the Chu army's large corps to spread. Of course, it is also convenient for the Wei army's cavalry to traverse, and the advantages of both sides are offset against each other. But if you are blocked in Luzhuang, it is like a tactic of adding fuel to the oil. The troops that can be used on the front line will be subject to certain restrictions, and you must be prepared for the flank raid of the Wei cavalry at any time, which is greatly disadvantageous to the Chu army.

Tan Xiaozu's meaning is actually the same as Tan Zhuo and He Ru, and he also wants to defeat the enemy in Luzhuang as soon as possible. However, because the terrain of Luzhuang is too important, Yuan Mulan will not give up easily. She must be mentally prepared to attack the tough side and cannot think that if the troops are superior, they will win - arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and Quan Changyi's death is a bloody lesson.

"Okay, everyone agrees that it is necessary to fight quickly, but as General Tan said, fighting quickly may not be able to fight quickly!" Xu You's eyes were calm, and even if he sat, his slender figure seemed like a mountain or a mountain. He said: "Yuan Mulan is a man who knows soldiers. Since he has taken advantage of the important land like Luzhuang, he will not let go. In addition to knowing the opponent's two numbers, the troops, military branches, battalions and defenses, and other arrangements are all obscure. Knowing oneself and enemy, he will never be defeated in a hundred battles, but he doesn't know the enemy, so how can we defeat the enemy?"

Yuan Mulan used the huge city reward to deceive Chu State's eyes and ears, thus covering up the actions of Yuchi Xin and Li Chong, and perfectly completing the tactical intentions.

This is the victory of the enemy's intelligence work. Now, the secret office needs to provide a corresponding answer. The Winter Solstice feels quite pressured, but he still said without hesitation: "Give me an hour!"

Xu You believed that the winter solstice could complete the task, so he stood up and said in a deep voice: "We suffered a great loss before. General All died heroically. This is a reminder for me and you: Don't despise anyone on the battlefield at any time!"

All the generals all claimed that they were solemn. Since the Western Expedition, the successive victory has indeed dazzled them, especially this time when the Wei army was decisively fought against 150,000 to 50,000, which was three times the strength, with abundant weapons and equipment, abundant food and grass, and good time and place by water, land and time. Even the most cautious person would inevitably begin to be proud.

Quan Changyi's death was like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's faces and hearts, extinguishing the pride and complacency that had just risen in an almost cruel way, and calmly examining himself again.

"Send the order: the entire army rests on the spot, can be freed, prepare lunch, and only then can they have the strength to kill the enemy after eating. After an hour, wait until the secret office gets the information, and then come to discuss it!"

The army's armor removal is of course a small trap. Xu You wanted to try it out, whether it could lead Yuchi Xin or Li Chong to fight, so it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It seemed that a large number of troops had disassembled their armor, sat on the ground, waiting for the meal in a mess, but in some places that were not easy to be seen by the scouts, there were 20,000 elite soldiers ready to go, baring their teeth to swallow the enemy that dared to invade.

In terms of military tactics, this is actually the best time for cavalry attacks. The infantry without armor, no array, holding a bowl instead of swords and guns are simply big cakes with meat sauce. No matter how they look, they are tender and delicious. However, the cautious Yuchi Xin and the steady Li Chong were not deceived, and there was no movement in the direction of the Wei army.

Fierce and suspicious, brave but not rushing,

It's a bit like a famous general!

"Say again, what are your name?"

In the tent, the Winter Sora looked at the mighty man in front of him and showed a very satisfied look - it had nothing to do with the confrontation between men and women, it was purely the feeling of picking animals in the cattle and horse market.

"Xi Ju, now the seventh-rank general Dangnan, is with the general of the Huwei Central Army General Yan Lishi, and is ordered to come to inspect the camp."

This person's real name is Chengluhui, Xiliang Jie clan, originally belonged to the Mingdiesi, with a sixth-level cultivation, good at hiding and spying, and knowing the language of seven different ethnic groups. He has a pure accent and no need to mention his appearance. The typical Hu people's style is clear and angular, with big eyes and high noses. What is rare is his temperament. The military uniform of the Northern Wei general Dangnan covered his body, pressed the handle of the knife with his hands, and his eyes were firm. He was really more like the Wei people than the Wei people.

"Can the general have a warrant?"

"What the hell are you? You dare to ask Yeye for a warrant? Hum? Do you know how to write Yeye's word Xi? Don't want to live anymore, right?"

Cheng Lu will stare at her eyes like a cowbell, and she looks domineering from her bones. Even the spitting stars represent respect and recognition of her acting skills.

The Winter Solstice couldn't help but applaud and said, "Okay!"

The next step is to find details. Arrange the identity background for this character may not be really useful, just in case. If you encounter that eye-opening question, you can delay for the time being and then find an opportunity to get out.

After another half a minute of tossing, Cheng Lu would ride a horse out of the camp, go around Gaogang, depression and dense forest next to it, and then spent more than half an hour to approach the right rear of the Wei army's garrison. He saw dozens of servants next to the Cai River from afar, using wooden barrels to draw water, and they were still playing with water. He immediately had a plan, and came to the front of the horse and said arrogantly: "Who are you? How dare you come out to play without authorization?"

The head of the servant did not know whether he could recognize General Dangnan's military uniform. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and replied: "The villain is from the general's camp. He is ordered by the superiors to come to the river to get water and prepare to make a fire and rebel. It is not a joke!"

Cheng Luhui whipped the horse whip in his hand and cursed: "I can still make a false statement when I see it with my own eyes? Say, today's command!"

The head of the servant did not dare to dodge, and he was whipped on his shoulder, his face twisted in pain, and he said, "White Dragon!"

"It's really from Brother Yuchi's camp..." Cheng Luhui snorted coldly: "For my brother, let you go, hurry up and get water back to the camp, don't make fun of it here!"

“Yes, yes!”

The servants did not dare to say much, and buried their heads in getting water. The deer club snatched the horse's belly and left the river. They abandoned the horse on the spot. They went to eat grass by themselves. They quietly drilled through the fence from an inconspicuous place and entered the Wei army camp. They coughed twice, and then moved out of the tent. A team of patrol soldiers came towards him. He took the initiative and said, "White Dragon!"

The sergeant standing in the front of the team replied: "Lishui!"

Cheng Lu would nod and leave. He swayed all over the Wei army's camp, not even the dead corners of the toilet. During this period, he also whipped two soldiers who had a dispute over eating. After the military situation was touched, he accidentally heard that Yuchi Xin was invited to a meeting by Li Chong. He had not come back yet, and suddenly had some special thoughts:

He had seen Yuchi Xin's big tent. Since it was during the meal, there were only two soldiers standing guard at the door, one of whom was clamping his legs, obviously he couldn't wait to come to take turns to take the rest and pee his pants. The other was holding a spear and was drowsy in the warm autumn sun.

Maybe, there is really a chance...

The adult deer will slowly approach and its eyes will lit up slightly.

Opportunities always favor those restless people!

The soldier couldn't hold it anymore and ran to the toilet to solve the problem. The other finally closed his eyes slightly. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind blowing. He opened it again, looked at both sides, and found nothing unusual. He muttered a few words on his mouth, and his eyelids started to fight slowly again.

The wind blew again, and the soldier opened his eyes alertly again, only seeing the majestic back of the General Dangnan who seemed to be from the Xi family!
Chapter completed!
