Like a huge bereft dog, the Hebei Allied Forces gave up the attack in despair and retreated thirty miles outside Dingbei Pass.
"Commander, kill, Lu Xiu has been killed!" An unsuspecting scout hurriedly came over to report the good news, and also wanted to ask for lottery money.
But he suddenly discovered that the old military advisor in front of him seemed to have a gloomy face, and even his eyes began to lose their luster.
"The military advisor... has surrounded Lu Xiu, and the barbarian army has come to join forces——"
"I was mistaken." Taishu closed his eyes in pain.
In the wilderness, an army of nearly 200,000 people will be completely in trouble. If there is plenty of food and grass, it will be okay, but the Hu people still need the Hebei army to supply them.
"Military advisor... on the border of Hebei, the King of Yuzhou has added 30,000 new troops, for a total of 130,000. At Dingbeiguan, there are also many Shu troops coming from Liangdi."
The continuous bad news made Gongsun Qi, who still wanted to pretend to be calm, no longer able to control himself.
"Military advisor, if the Yuzhou army attacks now, what should we do?"
"Are you stupid?" Taishu Wang turned back coldly, "The Yuzhou army will not attack now. What Chang Silang wants is for our army to become completely exhausted, the food and grass are exhausted, the soldiers mutiny, and then we can fight with the defenders of Dingbeiguan
Cooperate and annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"Here, what should we do? Otherwise, counterattack now?"
Taishuwang sneered, he really didn't want to talk to him anymore. The king of Yuzhou defended the place in danger, and he would die as many as he went.
"Both armies were blocked." Taishu Wang sighed. One was the Beidi army outside Hezhou, and the other was the Hebei allied army on his side.
Up to now, there has been no progress. And the Cangzhou side is already in danger.
"Military advisor, King Hu is here."
Uncle Wang calmed down his expression and stepped forward to greet him. Only then did he realize that there was a head hanging under King Hu's horse in front of him. Needless to say, it belonged to Lu Xiu, the Tiger of Dingzhou.
"Haha, Mr. Taishu, we are all happy, we are all happy! Lu Xiu was finally killed! In a short while, your and my army will be able to break through the barrier and enter."
Taishu Wang felt bitter in his heart, "Your Majesty, Dingbeiguan may not be able to be attacked now..."
Lowering his gaze, Taishu looked at the head under the war horse. While anger arose in his heart, there was also a hint of admiration.
It was this kind of Central Plains people who were not afraid of death and dragged them into trouble.
"Mr. Taishu, what's the matter?"
"If there is a bad move, not only our Hebei army, but also the king's more than 200 Hu tribes may disappear from outside Dingbei Pass."
Taishu Wang calmly spoke and explained the current dilemma one by one.
After he finished speaking, Gai Gong's expression changed drastically. Just as Taishu Wang said, this time, I'm afraid it would really be a disaster for the Hu tribe.
"Your Majesty, if you are going north, is there a way to turn back?"
Gai Gong gritted his teeth and said, "If we continue to the north, we will reach the end of the world. If there is really a good way, Mr. Taishu, why don't we, the Hu people, migrate?"
In one sentence, Tai Shuwang's confidence was blocked.
"What about to the west?"
"It is also a vast desert land. Moreover, after passing the desert land, there is a checkpoint in Bingzhou, which is also heavily guarded."
Uncle Tai closed his eyes and his body was trembling faintly.
With one careless move, the entire army seemed to have no way of survival. What he was most worried about was that before long, the morale of the army would be weakened in the long run, coupled with the consumption of food and grass, the mixed military situation would inevitably change.
At that time, the king of Yuzhou, who had beaten the drowned dog severely, would rush over to kill him.
"Go and ask, how much food and grass are left?"
The quartermaster came over in a hurry, thought for a while, and spit out a figure that made my uncle despair.
"The number of months."
…
The border between Hebei and Dingzhou is a river, neither big nor small.
At the shallows of the river, Changshiro had already set up a defensive line early. If Taishu Wang dared to lead his men back to attack, he would definitely be able to drink a big pot.
"Zhongde, it's been five days." Chang Silang sighed, "over at Dingbeiguan, the current generals are Chao Yi of the wolf clan, and Lu Xiu has not returned. It is more likely that he died in the Wild Wolf Valley.
"
"What a pity. Such a person should obviously have a greater fame and career."
"My lord, if it weren't for Lu Xiu's temptation and delaying time, we wouldn't have the advantage we have now."
"Of course I know, but I still feel it's a pity." As he spoke, Chang Shiro's eyes turned red, "What a good person, loyal and brave, why can't he come back?"
"Every time I see these good people, I always think of my old friend, Lord Qing, standing behind him and dying on the city wall."
"My lord, my condolences."
After rubbing his nose, Changshiro calmed down.
"Now that the siege has been completed, just as Lu Xiu said in his letter, we can wait until the Hebei Allied Forces run out of food and grass and the soldiers mutiny, then they can send out the army. Zhongde, send a few more fast horses to circle around Dingding from the inner city.
Beiguan, tell Chao Yi that when the time comes, he will raise the flag as a signal and attack Grand Uncle Laogou."
"I estimate that there should be fifty or sixty thousand troops at Dingbeiguan by now. This time, not only Taishu Laogou, if we can destroy the Hu bandits, we can also count as the Tigers of Dingzhou."
’s legacy.”
Tsuneshiro turned his head to the sky.
"What a good person, but he can't come back. How will my little boss cry when he receives the letter?"
…
A few days later, Xu Mu, who was in Cangzhou, received an urgent letter from Dingzhou.
He just opened it and read the contents of the letter clearly. He paused and walked silently to the river bank.
"Brother Mu, do you want to go fishing? Why don't you take me with you?"
The careless Si Hu was suddenly stopped by Yin Hu, and he hesitated to tell the contents of the letter.
Suddenly, Si Hu collapsed on the ground, holding his head and crying.
Chang Wei came next to him and heard the reason clearly. He also sat next to Si Hu and cried with him.
Yin Hu raised his head and looked at the figure on the river bank. He hesitated and finally did not walk over.
If you fight, people will die.
Lu Changling, the Tiger of Dingzhou, used his own body as a plan and as a bait until the mighty Hebei Allied Forces were trapped in front of Dingbei Pass. The layout was already approaching perfection.
"Farewell General Lu."
Yin Hu raised his hands to the sky, with sadness on his face.
In this world, after all, there are many people like Lu Xiu who can unite into one force and bring peace to the world.
…
From noon to dusk, the figures on the river bank did not move for a long time.
It wasn't until Yin Hu came for the fourth time that Xu Mu turned around silently, dragging his leaden feet, and walked towards the camp.
"My condolences, General Lu. Ten thousand people will surely follow General Lu's legacy. One day, Dingzhou will be free from the troubles caused by foreigners. Relying on the convenience of official roads and waterways, it will surely become a big city."
"Of course." Xu Mu's voice was hoarse. He raised his head and looked at the burning dusk in front of him. He seemed to think of that day again, when he captured Lingju Pass and Lu Xiu came from Dingzhou in a dusty way.
"The tiger of Dingzhou, Lu Xiu and Lu Changling, pay homage to the lord!"
"Long order!"
Facing the falling sunset, Xu Mu couldn't bear it any longer, and with a cry of grief, he staggered to the ground.
