Chapter 291 Dilemma

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Hao looked at the letter in his hand, laughed three times, and then waved his hand: "You go back immediately and say that you will be outside. The king will not give you any orders. It is enough to have the support from the Nanbahui. I will continue to move forward."

"This..." the messenger was surprised.

"No need to say more, you go back and report my original words, and Sima Ye will understand what I mean." Zhang Hao said again.

The envoy had to turn back. Zhang Hao turned around and looked at his subordinates and asked the Khitans for the blessing. Now the Jilizhou army can be said to have changed cannons, and the original infantry has now become cavalry. Although the cavalry is not yet excellent, at least there is no problem with riding a horse. Therefore, when the envoy arrived, Zhang Hao's troops had advanced nearly ten miles.

He walked for more than twenty miles, and not long after another envoy came to call him. This time he hesitated, so he ordered the camp to be set up, wrote a letter with his own hands, and asked the envoy to take it back.

The next day, the army had been on the way for another half a day, and the envoy came again, and this time Zhang Hao had to return to the army. The soldiers naturally complained, and the news came to Dashi Bridge two hours later.

"Haha, Huaiyu, you are well prepared. Although we took a piece of meat from Ye Chang's hand, this piece of meat is too small. The real big meat is still in Anshicheng. The first thing he wants to save is Anshicheng." Hou Xiyi laughed when he heard the news from the scout.

"That's natural. Dong Qin wants to use us as bait and lure Ye Chang away from Anshi City, so I naturally want to use him as bait to force Ye Chang to defend Anshi City. We have taken Ye Chang a batch of property and got Di Lie's daughter. We have made enough contributions to send it to Doctor An, so we don't have to worry about not being able to stand up for us." Li Huaiyu said complacently: "It's too greedy and wants to eat all Ye Chang's spoils in one bite, that's an extremely stupid choice."

"Although my brother is young, he is smart but has a long mind. Even my brother is a little afraid of you." Hou Xiyi said with a smile.

Li Huaiyu looked up at his cousin, and from his expression, he couldn't tell whether the words were true or false.

"Brother, that Fan Chongwu, both ends of the head and rat, secretly colluded with Ye Chang. Will he deal with it?" He changed the subject and pointed the finger at Fan Chongwu.

"Let's leave him and leave a bit of affection with Ye Chang. If there is really something... it's better to bargain with him." Hou Xiyi said.

"This guy thought he was doing it very well, haha..." Li Huaiyu couldn't help laughing at Fan Chongwu's face: "Ye Chang was used to using traitors. He was like this when he seized Beisha City, and later he defeated Di Lie. Now he wants to use it on us, do you think I am those stupid people?"

Hou Xiyi was a little unhappy. When Fan Chongwu said he was going to join him, although he was a little suspicious, he still took him in. Didn’t Li Huaiyu call him a fool? He knew that his cousin had always been above his zeal. Although he was young, he was a arrogant person, but he was so unrestrained that he was too much.

"Huaiyu, you must be careful in your words in the future. It doesn't matter if you say this in front of me, but you should pay attention to others." He warned him in terms of cousin relationship.

Li Huaiyu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm wronged."

However, he disagreed with his cousin. Although he was overestimated by his cousin, he still felt that he was not as good as him.

After confirming that Zhang Hao and Nan Jiyun returned to the army, they could set out. They were only more than 400 cavalry, but it was not easy to drive prisoners of the same number as them back to Liucheng. During the march, they were very prone to attacks, so they dared to leave only if they confirmed that Ye Chang had no time to take care of it.

When Fan Chongwu saw them suddenly moving, his heart was shocked. The Xi man who asked him to send the message had not returned yet. He left at this time. Could it be that the news leaked?

He was thinking about it when he saw the two of them smiling and clamping him from left to right: "Fan Chongwu, what are you doing?"

"What's wrong?" Fan Chongwu said in surprise.

"Don't General Dong and Li Xiaolangjun know about He Jing's affairs? That guy has always been strange. Sending him to you is Li Xiaolangjun's plan." One of the two said, "Now the news is already a legend, I can't tolerate you."

"Ah?" Fan Chongwu was suddenly panicked when he heard this, and felt his legs were weak. He had fought more than once, but never once made him feel desperate as he did now. In the past, even if he took risks with himself, there were always comrades around him who could entrust his life. This time, he was alone.

"Give me your life, spare me your life, I'm wronged," Fan Chongwu shouted.

The two men didn't care about his injustice, blocked his mouth, tied up the man and threw it into a big cart.

At first, Fan Chongwu thought he would be dead, but gradually realized that something was wrong. He began to pack up his things in the camp, and all kinds of property, captured, were thrown into a cart or a hunch, as if he was about to leave the camp. Fan Chongwu no longer struggled. The other party really wanted to kill him, but he was afraid that the body would be cold at this time, which proved that the other party wanted to take him away.

Since he has seen through his fake surrender, why not kill him? Also, the news he had sent to Anshicheng was intentionally leaked by the other party. Will it cause losses to the Jilizhou army?

Of course, more importantly, the prospects between me and Ayili... seem not very good.

While worried about this, his eyes were circling. It was not until a slap in the face by a soldier that Fan Chongwu became honest.

They pulled out the camp, but because they brought Khitan women, children and property, the speed was not very fast. In the evening, they only traveled for more than twenty miles, arrived at the bank of the Liao River, and set up camp to cross the river in the future. Hou Xiyi set up a police whistle at night. Seeing him like this, Li Huaiyu smiled and said, "Brother, are you afraid of Ye Chang's attack at night?"

"Ye Chang is used to using night attack techniques, so he must be careful. It's amazing that his soldiers can see clearly at night... Some of the soldiers in our hands can't see anything at night."

"This guy is said to be the disciple of the Yaowang Zhenren, and some methods should be..." Li Huaiyu was halfway through his words, and he heard a sharp whistle coming from a distance.

It was the sound of a police whistle. Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu's faces changed: Enemy attack?

It was still discussing just now that Ye Chang is best at night attacks, and now he encounters an enemy attack?

Hou Xiyi's caution made him release his scout five miles away. At this time, only one rider was rushing towards him. Hou Xiyi clearly remembered that his scouts were all in groups of three people. Only one rider proved that the other two riders must have lost.

"The whole army is on guard," Hou Xiyi shouted at the first time, and ran aside and beat a soldier who had not reacted with a horse whip: "The big chariots are all outside, connected in a circle."

Most of these soldiers were on the border for a long time, and only a few of them were panicked. Seeing that the entire army followed the words, they set up a cart array with large chariots, and then built a simple defense line based on the cart array. Hou Xiyi felt relieved and looked up at the scout.

The scout was only a few dozen steps away. Behind him, more than ten cavalry appeared, and Li Huaiyu had already led more than twenty cavalry to meet him. Seeing that the more than ten cavalry were few, they first stopped to watch the horse. After seeing that Li Huaiyu and others were still coming to their side, they turned around and left.

Li Huaiyu shouted sharply: "If you have sex, don't leave."

"The little doll with no hair grows. Do you have any plants? Go back and ask your mother to go?" The person over there laughed.

Li Huaiyu was immediately furious. He leaned on the horse's back and kicked the horse hard, and the horse rushed forward with all his strength.

Hou Xiyi, who was behind, frowned and ordered: "Ming Jin, call Huai Yu and others back."

The opponent cannot be just these more than ten cavalry. The most important thing now is to stabilize your defense line and not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it. Those who follow Li Huaiyu are all brave men in the army, and Hou Xiyi also expects them to play a role in the fierce battle that will pass.

Hearing the sound of the golden gong, Li Huaiyu glared at the enemy knights ahead with hatred and cursed, but he knew that it was not appropriate to chase him again. He turned his horse's head and prepared to go back. At this time, the other party saw that they stopped chasing him, so he stopped running.

"Didn't that little baby say you want to see if Ah Weng is a genital?" the mean-mouthed man shouted, "Come on, Ah Weng has taken off his pants, so let me see this?"

His companions laughed out loudly. Li Huaiyu was so angry that he wanted to turn his horse's head again. A soldier next to him hurriedly grabbed his reins: "Mr. Huaiyu, don't be trapped in a trick. Let's talk on the knife and not quarrel with such a man."

"I must tear this guy apart, and take out his tongue and go to him." Li Huaiyu roared sharply.

When he returned to his formation, Hou Xiyi saw that Li Huaiyu was still angry and laughed: "Don't be upset, please wait until I win, and I will hand over that slutty person to you to deal with."

Li Huaiyu nodded, saw Fan Chongwu looking at the thief with a whip and whipped it: "I will use this guy to block the arrows of the profit-abundant thieves in the future - these dog thieves dare to attack our Tang Dynasty officers and soldiers."

He remembered his identity at this time, which was the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but forgot that when they attacked Fan Chongwu and others, Fan Chongwu also claimed to be the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Hou Xiyi comforted Li Huaiyu, but he disagreed with Li Huaiyu's proposal. Ye Chang sent two troops to attack him, one was Nan Jiyun and the other was Zhang Hao. However, the news brought by the scouts that both troops should be recalled by Ye Chang. Who would have come this time?

Could it be that the recall was just Ye Chang's suspicion and deceived them so that they could lure them out of the defensive and convenient location of Dashiqiao?

When he thought of this, Hou Xiyi was very worried. Although he was very confident, his family knew his family affairs, and only four hundred riders followed him. It was not difficult to escape only for four hundred riders, but it was not easy to win.

After a while, he saw about a thousand cavalrymen appearing in his sight. Looking at his flag, it was the word "Zhang". I think it was Ye Chang's magister Zhang Hao.

Others may ignore Ye Chang, but An Lushan never relaxed his attention to Jilizhou. The Pinglu Army sent many spies to Liaodong. While passing the news to An Lushan, Pinglu Army's own generals also knew Ye Chang better. Hou Xiyi dared not say that he was familiar with his style of conduct, tactical preferences, and who were under his tent. At least he was familiar with it.

"It's Zhang Hao who came." Li Huaiyu also had a sinister face: "Ye Chang lied to us."

Indeed, Ye Chang deceived them, and the letter to recall Zhang Hao was fake, and Zhang Hao's hesitation was also fake, just to be afraid that they would throw away their captives and baggage and escape with the help of horsepower. Ye Chang was definitely not a good man and a woman, and dared to stretch out his claws to him, so he had to be mentally prepared to be chopped off.

"Aren't he afraid that Dong Xianfeng will take down his lair?" asked someone next to him in surprise.

"Since he can deceive us, he can also deceive Dong Xianfeng... If I were him, I would let the soldiers in the city leave the city at night and then return to the city in the morning, and recalled Zhang Hao and Nan Jiyun. Dong Qin was stupid and it was already the credit of the Goguryeo people around him who were able to think of us as bait. The Goguryeo people were broken by Ye Chang. Seeing Ye Chang being transferred back to the army, the first idea was to beware of Ye Chang's surprise attack on Yangjiao Gully..."

At this point, Li Huaiyu already understood how Ye Chang did it.

When talking about the "Goguryeo people" around Dong Qin, Hou Xiyi frowned. If it weren't for that Goguryeo, Li Huaiyu might not have been able to convince Dong Qin, but if it weren't that guy, they wouldn't be limited to danger at this time.

"What should we do now?" Hou Xiyi asked in a low voice.

Since the other party started killing the scout, it was obviously not ready to give up. The internal strife between the border troops was not uncommon. They slaughtered them all, lied that it was the Khitan or the Xi people, and then went to sue. Even if it was discovered, Hou Xiyi and the others took action first.

"Two strategies, one is to abandon everything and escape, and the other party is still far apart. Although they are all cavalry, I think their riding skills are not superb and cannot catch up with us. The other is to take the Khitans as their charity and force them to agree to share some of the credit with us. This strategy is afraid that the other party will be cruel..."

The two strategies that Li Huaiyu responded to were not good news, and Hou Xiyi hesitated for a while.

"Brother, you must make a quick decision at this time. Never hesitate anymore. The enemy army is too many, and our army is too few, and Nan Jiyun's army has not yet appeared. How can you know if he will follow him?" Li Huaiyu had calmed down at this time, no longer the rage he had just said: "Brother, we can get out of here, at most we will return without success."

"I know." Hou Xiyi was shocked and shocked: "If you don't say anything else, life is important... Leave a post in the palace and we will go on our own."

"Which part is left?"

Hou Xiyi whispered in Li Huaiyu's ear: "Han people."

Hou Xiyi and Li Huaiyu were both Goguryeo. At this time, among the Fan Yang and Pinglu army under An Lushan, nearly half of the Hu people were Hu people, and the number of Han people was relatively small. Hou Xiyi's confidant subordinates were also Hu people such as Goguryeo, Xi, Shiwei. Although there were Han people, at this critical moment, what he thought of was to cut off his tail and survive.

"Don't let me surrender." Li Huaiyu said softly.

Hou Xiyi nodded. It was natural. It would be difficult for the latter to escape. If you promise to surrender, they would not feel resentful and hateful, and would not ruin their escape plan.

"Take only that daughter of Dilie." Li Huaiyu said again: "Don't let others know."

"That's right, so that we won't go back empty-handed." Hou Xiyi's eyes lit up.
