Jingle bell——

Kou Feng shook the bell, but saw that Song Long had no reaction, and Han De was laughing on his horse in the distance.

Liu Qi had no choice but to call for gold and withdraw his troops. Han De also rang a bell to call back Song Long, and the two armies each stopped.

Zhao Yun returned to the formation, and everyone felt relieved when they saw that he was safe and sound. They had been in close danger just now, and if it had been someone else, they might have been hit again.

Kou Feng scolded: "I don't know where this thief learned the dirty tricks. He is collaborating with those gangsters. He is despicable and shameless."

Liu Qi said coldly: "Since ancient times, evil has always prevailed over good. These crooked ways will not last long. If they were so powerful, those green forest heroes would have conquered a whole country long ago."

The next day, Liu Qi sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to fight. The Han army fought at the foot of Angu City. Song Long was still recovering from his injuries. How could Han De dare to fight? The Xiliang army could not defend and had no choice but to retreat.

Zhang Fei's condition did not improve, so the generals became a little impatient and asked for orders to attack the city one after another. They defeated An Gu and captured Song Long. Han Sui was bound to be defeated.

Liu Qi said: "I know you are all in a hurry, but please don't be anxious yet."

Wang Shuangyan said: "My master can't even lift the knife, how can we not be in a hurry?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Song Long is injured this time and still needs to recover. Han Sui is more anxious than us. The more this time comes, the more calm we must be and not be impulsive."

Kou Feng said: "Ma Chao is in urgent need of rescue, and Han Sui has not been able to hold out so far. I'm afraid he has other arrangements. If we delay here, it will be detrimental to me."

Liu Qi said: "Ma Chao can protect himself with the help of Xu Yuanzhi. Han Sui is at a stalemate with me. He will definitely send troops within a few days. Please guard your camp carefully and wait and see what happens."

Two days later, Wang Ping sent someone to report that their troops had arrived at Didao, but the city was empty. The defenders surrendered without a fight and successfully captured the city.

Hearing this, Liu Qi laughed and said: "Han Sui's retreat has been cut off, and Horseshoe Bay has been unable to be captured for a long time. He will definitely be defeated."

He immediately sent someone to report to Zhang Ren that Didao had fallen. The Xiliang army that was attacking Horseshoe Bay would definitely retreat after receiving the news, and they could take the opportunity to fight out once and for all.

He also ordered Kou Feng: "If Han Sui knows the news, he will definitely come out in full force to attack my camp. You lead five thousand troops to join Lei Tong. If you see a fire horn on the shore, you will go to attack the water village upstream overnight.

Kill the Xiliang army from the pontoon across the other side without attacking the city, but lie in wait on the way to rob and kill the Xiliang army."

After Kou Feng left, Liu Qi sent an order to make arrangements in the camp and sent many scouts to monitor the movements of the Xiliang army. As long as Han Sui dared to send troops, his entire army would be wiped out in a battle.

…

In Angu City, the morale of the Xiliang generals soared, and Han De was also full of confidence. He visited Song Long every day, hoping for his speedy recovery.

Han Sui frowned and discussed with Cheng Gongying: "Although Song Long is brave, it may not be a long-term solution to fight against Liu Qi with just one warrior. After all, this person is not my confidant and cannot be fully trusted. If he is allowed to serve in the army,

Wouldn't it be better to make Song Jian famous by neutralizing authority? I'm afraid that if Ma Chao is eliminated, Song Jian will be in serious trouble again."

Cheng Gongying nodded and said: "What the general said is absolutely true. Song Jian has always been separatist at the head of the river and has no intention of seeking hegemony. However, when Song Long is sent to assist in the battle this time, he must have seen his son grow up and become ambitious again, so we must guard against it."

Han Sui asked: "What are the countermeasures for joining the army?"

Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Song Long is actually nothing to worry about. Every time he uses that strange medicine, he has to rest for three days, and this time it will take half a month. I expect that if he uses it continuously, the time will continue to extend and his body will be damaged. But.

Take this opportunity to provoke him to fight Zhao Yun and use this medicine frequently. If the root is damaged, he will die suddenly sooner or later."

"Hahaha, this is a great plan!" Han Sui heard this and stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. I have already defeated Zhang Fei. If Zhao Yun also takes advantage of the plot, it will be of great benefit to me."

Just when he was feeling proud, Liu Qi suddenly sent troops to report urgently. Liu Qi sent troops to attack Didao. The city fell. When the nearby counties heard that Liu Qi's troops had arrived, they watched the wind and surrendered.

"This... this is impossible!" Han Sui was shocked.

Cheng Gongying suddenly said: "Liu Qi has always won by surprise when using troops. It turns out that he just took advantage of the situation to attract Didao's defenders and sent troops to capture the city. It turned out that he was very cunning."

"Brother, something bad is going on!" Before any countermeasures could be discussed, Han De ran into the government office and reported urgently: "Just now, the defenders of Horseshoe Bay suddenly came out and drove Didao's troops back. We need to send troops immediately for support."

"You're still supporting me!" Han Sui cursed loudly: "The commander-in-chief Wang used his troops improperly and brought about his own defeat. He deserves it!"

Cheng Gongying patted the confused Han De and sighed: "I was waiting for Cao's army to send troops to Qishan and Hanzhong to trap Liu Qi to death in Longxi. Unexpectedly, he took advantage of the situation and trapped us in Taonan first."

Han Sui's face was gloomy, he turned his hands behind his back twice, and gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Qi, son, since he wants to put me to death, I have no choice but to fight to the death with him. Why not attack his old camp directly? If Liu Qi is defeated, then Ma Tiwan, Di

The defenders are nothing to worry about."

"Don't be desperate!" Cheng Gongying hurriedly advised: "Liu Qi knew that Song Long was recovering from his injuries, but he didn't come to attack the city. He was just waiting for news from Di Dao. I expected that he had already heard the news, but he didn't move his troops. He might have been prepared."

Han Sui was surprised: "You mean, Liu Qi has secretly laid a trap?"

"That's right!" Cheng Gongying said: "Liu Qi expected that my retreat would be cut off, so he would make a desperate move. If an ambush was set up in the camp, and he bypassed the pontoon bridge to steal the city, the consequences would be disastrous."

"Hiss——" Han Sui took a breath of air, sat down slumped, rubbed his forehead and said: "Taobei has been lost, there is no way to advance or retreat, and the situation is in chaos. What's the countermeasure for joining the army?"

Han De said in shock: "What happened?"

Cheng Gongying informed Didao of the fall, and Han De was shocked and said: "Liu Qi is really superior."

Cheng Gongying looked solemn, thought for a moment and said: "Liu Qi thought that we would fight to the death and lay a trap for me to rob the camp, so why not do the opposite?"

Han Sui asked hurriedly: "What's the plan?"

Cheng Gongying first said to Han Deyan: "General Han went to visit Song Long again and said that the situation was urgent and he could not be nursed back to health. Can he go to war as soon as possible?"

Han De left in a hurry, and Cheng Gongying said to Han Sui: "A desperate move is like a moth flying into a flame. You can use the trick to ensure your retreat first, and then deal with Liu Qi."

Han Sui frowned and said: "Zhang Ren defended Ma Tiwan and Didao fell again. Where is the retreat?"

Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Liu Qi is waiting for our army to rob the camp. The north bank will definitely send troops to attack. We can intercept the people and horses on the north bank first and take the opportunity to destroy the pontoon bridge so that they can't rescue them from the north and south. Then send elite troops to recapture Didao and counterattack Horseshoe Bay. At this time, I think it will be

Qishan and Hanzhong have also sent troops to surround Liu Qi."

"Brilliant plan!" Han Sui's eyes lit up, he stood up and sneered: "There is not much food and grass in Horseshoe Bay. We cannot defend it for a long time without support. Liu Qi sends troops to attack Didao unexpectedly. There will not be many men and horses. I will personally lead the troops."

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said: "If the general does not go to rob the camp, he will be suspected by Liu Qi. We also need the help of General Han De to show his intention of decisive battle and confuse the enemy. It is enough to send Yang Qiu to send troops to Di Dao."

"Just follow this plan!" Han Sui immediately ordered people to call Yang Qiu to arrange the dispatch of troops.

Han De also reported back and forth that if the war was urgent, Song Long could go to war in three days, but he would need someone to help him deal with Zhao Yun, and the other generals should not worry about it.
