Three groups of troops united and chased after leaving the city.

After passing Taohua Mountain, Xu Yan said: "This place is suitable for ambushing, be careful of Ningze ambushing."

Gormon then told Chu Bai and Su Jun that the army had stopped temporarily and sent a probe to check.

The probing horse confirmed that there were no ambushes, and the army set off again and continued to chase Ningze.

Chasing all the way to the winding forest, Xu Yan said to Gormon again: "If Ning Ze ambushed here, our army will be defeated! We need to send someone to inquire."

Gormon once again suggested that Chu Bai, Su Jun stop and send a probe to check it out, and then continue to march after confirming that there was no military service.

The army chased Hutong Mountain in Cang County. Seeing that the terrain was complicated, Xu Yan once again persuaded Gormon: "If Ning Ze ambushed the troops here, our army will be in danger!"

Gormont told Chu Bai and Su Jun.

Su Jun said angrily: "Ningze didn't know that we had obtained information and chased us on the road. If we learned that the Taohua Mountain and the winding forest would set up ambushers in front of him, and it would take so much effort to get here?"

Chu Bai also agreed, thinking that Ning Ze really wanted to set up an ambush, so there was no need to run so far. Before, it was just a winding forest in Taohua Mountain.

So Gormon convinced the army to continue moving forward.

Xu Yan was also convinced that she might be worried.

The army entered Hutong Mountain and came to a narrow mountain road with cliffs on both sides.

Suddenly, with a cannon sound, countless soldiers from Jinzhou appeared all over the mountains and fields, and arrows fell like rain.

In the chaos, Dewey and Wang Wei led their troops out.

The three-way united troops fell into chaos, were defeated and fled, with countless casualties and injuries.

Gormon ran wildly and was hit by Dewey, and the silver snake spear passed through his chest in an instant.

Xu Yan jumped off the horse in the chaos, put on the armor of a fallen soldier, and mixed in to disguise his identity.

Chu Bai and Su Jun fled in a hurry.

In this battle, the Ningze army captured 5,000 enemy soldiers, seized weapons, war horses, and countless military rations and sheng flags.

It turned out that he deliberately skipped over Taohua Mountain and winding forests to make the enemy believe that the beauty plan was successful, and his side had no idea that the military information was leaked.

Then set up an ambush on Hutong Mountain to surprise and win a complete victory.

After the defeat of the joint troops, almost all the troops led by Gormon were wiped out. Chu Bai and Su Jun turned around and fled to Cang County.

Ning Ze did not chase after him and summoned Dewey: "Brother, you immediately lead your troops to attack Bashui County. Now the defense in the county is empty and there are no soldiers available. The prefect Gormon is dead, and there are no leaders in the dragons, so there should be no obstacles!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Dewey replied with his fists, "If you can't take Bashui County, come and see you!"

So Dewey led a thousand cavalry to set out first and turned around to fight towards Bashui County.

Ning Ze turned to the side: "Ghost Face!"

"The last one is here!" Wang Wei stood up.

"I ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 to pursue Chu Bai and Su Jun, be careful to ambush along the way and fight steadily."

"The last general will take the order!" Wang Wei immediately led his troops to chase him along the way.

"Military advisor, what about us?" Song Gao asked.

"First incorporate the captured soldiers, and then decide according to the situation." Ning Ze led Song Gao and others to the prisoner camp.

Several generals were persuading the prisoners to surrender. When they saw Ning Ze coming, they hurried forward respectfully and saluted.

Ning Ze nodded and asked them to continue, looking at them one by one.

Every time he captures the enemy, or the enemy surrenders voluntarily, he will carefully check and confirm the attributes of these people. If a spy is mixed in, he can't hide his eyes. Or if a template for a general with excellent attributes appears, he will try to put it in the account.

Looking all the way, he suddenly stopped and pointed at a soldier: "Bring him here!"

Song Gao gave a look and someone immediately went over, dragged the person Ning Ze pointed out and brought it to him.

The soldier was a little panicked and tried to lower his head.

Ning Ze smiled slightly and said to him: "Raise your head!"

"I dare not!" the soldier replied in a hurry.

The generals next to him didn't know why Ning Ze was interested in this enemy soldier, so they looked at him curiously. But they couldn't see anything strange.

Ning Ze squatted down and said with a smile: "Premier Xu pretends to be quite similar! Why do you want to hide it from my eyes and then find an opportunity to escape?"

"I don't know what the general wants!"

"Hahaha! Prefect Xu thought that if you put some mud on your face and put on soldiers' armor, you can hide it from everyone?" Ning Ze smiled, "It's a pity that I have a good memory. Those who have seen it will not forget it. Stop pretending!"

Hearing this, the soldier raised his head and it was indeed Xu Yan who was disguised. He looked at Ning Ze and sighed: "Ning Zhonglang is indeed powerful. The official thought that the perfect disguise is useless in front of you!"

"The main thing is that I have a good memory." Ning Ze smiled, but said in his heart that there is a super plug-in with the system, and the attributes are clear at a glance. How could you be deceived by you?

"If I listen to my advice and investigate carefully, how could I lose today?" Xu Yan raised his head and said, "Since you have seen through it, you will be killed or cut off!"

"The prefect Xu is knowledgeable and talented. If he is willing to surrender to our Lord, he will be highly valued!" Ning Ze said.

"Hmph!" Xu Yan turned around and bowed to the north, responding proudly, "How can I betray the court when I was met by the Prime Minister?"

"Which court is Xu talking about?" Ning Ze asked, "Zhou Yui supported Emperor Shun, Lu Gong first supported Emperor Wen, and now he established Emperor Hui, who can truly represent the great success? If we talk about it, Emperor Shun holds the jade seal in his hand, which is more legitimate than Emperor Wen and Emperor Hui!"

"The success and defeat of the enemy, the Prime Minister will be able to assist Your Majesty in quelling the chaos and unify the great power!" Xu Yan bowed and said, "It is Ning Zhonglang who takes Princess Yuanxi as his qualifier and wants to seize the great power. This is a rebellious act and does not occupy the great power. It is better to wake up earlier and follow the Prime Minister to assist Your Majesty, with a bright future!"

Ning Ze laughed: "What a sharp mouth! I advise you to surrender, but I want to convince me? However, Zhou Yu and Lu Cong used the emperor to command the princes, which was no different from me. To be honest, Princess Yuanxi was the orthodox, and she was qualified to inherit the country by Emperor Shun and Emperor Wen and Emperor Hui! "

"The general's words are wrong!" Xu Yan shook his head and said, "How can a woman be in the country? This matter is contrary to the morality of yin and yang!"

"It seems that none of us can convince anyone." Ning Ze said, "Premier Xu is a prisoner now. Don't you think it's you who should make a choice?"

"A real man is just dead!" Xu Yan replied, "It is impossible for me to betray the court!"

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

"What are you afraid of death?" Xu Yan replied proudly, "Please give me some pleasure."

Song Gao came over and said, "Military advisor, since this man is unwilling to surrender, just cut him down!"

Ning Ze thought after hearing this, then smiled and said, "I am in a good mood today and don't want to kill anyone. Let him go for the sake of Prefect Xu."

"Ah?" The left and right generals were stunned when they heard this.

Xu Yan was also stunned and looked at Ning Ze and said, "You and I are hostile. Even if I let me go back, I will still meet again next time I meet again. It is inevitable! I will not show mercy just because the general lets me go once!"

Ning Ze's mouth curled up slightly: "Since I want to let you go, I don't care about these things! To be honest, although Xu Taishou is quite talented, this military advisor doesn't take it seriously."

Xu Yan felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. Anyone who was despised would be unhappy.

Ning Ze did what he said, and sent someone to send Xu Yan out of the camp and gave him a war horse.

Xu Yan knew that Bashui County could not go back, so he ran around and fled to Fujiang County.

"Military advisor, the prefect of Duosi County, Gormeng was killed by General Du. If Xu Yan beheaded and Lu Gong lost the prefect of two counties in succession, he would definitely be afraid of the advisor. Why should he let him go?" Song Gao asked in confusion.

Ning Ze smiled and said, "How could a hero like Lu Gong be afraid of me because the prefect of the two counties were killed? If he did that, he would only regard me as a threat. It would be quite troublesome to go against me at that time! After letting Xu Yan go, I have to stop and beat him up. I know that I can't fight with me for the time being. If Lu Gong fights against me at all costs, he will drag me into this quagmire of war, giving other princes a chance to grow and grow, and both of us will only fight to pieces. It is not necessary to fight me if we really want to fight me, but there is no need. In the continuous wars, our military rations consume too much. If we cannot rest and continue to be militant, the good situation will be destroyed."

"But Lu Cong sent a large army to conquer Jinzhou, it didn't seem like he would stop there." Song Gao said.

"He can do it." Ning Ze said, "As long as the fight hurts, the troops will definitely be withdrawn. After Xu Yan is released, it may be useful in the future."

"Xu Yan was loyal to Lu Gong and could not persuade him to surrender at all. How could he help the military advisor?" Song Gao was puzzled.

"Sometimes it's not that he can help if he wants to help, nor that he can stay out of it if he doesn't want to help!" Ning Ze said, "You don't need to understand these."

"The wisdom of the military advisor is not something we can understand." Song Gao nodded.

"Let me see these prisoners again."

"Here!"

Ning Ze let Xu Yan go and persuaded more than 3,000 of the five thousand prisoners to surrender. The remaining ones who refused to surrender were taken to the prisoner's camp as a hard worker, making the best use of the goods.

Dewey led his troops to attack Bashui County, and a group of enemy deserters were found along the way.

The cavalry rushed to attack and drove the deserters of Bashui County back to the city.

The deserter came outside the city and shouted loudly to open the door. The defenders in the city were not sure about it, so they really opened the door.

Dewey immediately led the cavalry to charge and forcibly attacked the city.

The defenders in the city resisted for a while and surrendered quickly.

On the other side, Wang Wei led his troops to chase him near Cang County.

Chu Baisu was killed for a while, with countless casualties, thrown away his armor and fleeing into the county town of Cang County.

Wang Weibing besieged Cang County, but the prisoners failed to follow Chu Bai, and Su Jun fled into the city, more than 2,000 local soldiers were captured.

Chu Bai and Su Jun could not defend themselves in the city. Wang Wei tried to attack the city, but failed, so he returned on the spot with the spoils.

Chu Bai and Su Jun breathed a sigh of relief and discussed in the city: "Ningze won a big victory. If you really go south to attack Yuan and Xizhou, you and I will lose all your foundation! It is better to recruit nearby ships and go south along the river."

The two agreed that they had to lead their troops back to their territory to avoid being captured by Ningze. So they forcibly requisitioned all official and civilian ships in nearby counties, and the army went downstream and urgently withdrew to Yuanzhou and Xizhou.
