As night fell, the two armies met in the wilderness, and the winner was almost decided.
A spear was thrown at him, causing Duke Gai to scream twice and fall off his horse.
"Quick, help me up!"
After changing his horse, Gai Gong was filled with sadness when he saw Hu's army retreating continuously. He could no longer care about it and quickly took the remaining army and ran deep into the wilderness.
"General Chao, we will pursue him immediately and vow to chop off King Hu's dog head as a memorial to General Lu!"
"Don't chase." Chao Yi raised his head and stared at the night in the distance, "The Hu cavalry broke up and gave Taishu Wang enough time to set up an ambush. Besides, it's already dark, so it's not advisable to pursue deeply."
Although he was a little unwilling, Chao Yi still ordered the army to prepare to return. According to Lu Xiu's legacy, the enemy troops who fled deep into the wilderness should have their morale slowly broken down, their food and grass gradually exhausted, and dog bite dog.
It's a pity that I couldn't kill the barbarian dog king.
"General Chao, please take a look..."
Chao Yi was startled, and turned around following the voice. Suddenly, a sad look appeared on his face. There was a head hanging on the body of a tall horse.
That head belongs to Lu Xiu.
"This was originally King Hu's horse. After he fell from the horse, he changed horses. God blessed me in Dingzhou and recovered the body of General Lu."
"Congratulations General Lu!"
Countless Shu riders knelt down and worshiped with sad voices. If it hadn't been for Lu Xiu, there would have been no advantage at all in and around Dingbeiguan.
"Send General Lu back to the city!" Chao Yi held back his grief, took off his robe and armor, and wrapped Lu Xiu's head.
"Send General Lu back to the city!"
In the dark sky, countless voices suddenly sounded.
"Just waiting for one day, we will go deep into the wilderness, kill all the wild dogs, and avenge General Lu!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The collision of knives and the sound of excitement echoed for a long time.
…
On the bank of the Xiangjiang River, Xu Mu woke up from his drowsiness and sat quietly for a while before tidying up his shirt and walking outside the tent.
Old friends fade like the wind, and many old friends always leave him inadvertently.
But no matter what, the unfinished things in this world must continue to be done after all.
"My condolences to the helmsman..."
Xu Mu waved his hand, hiding his sadness, "Nothing. Six heroes, is Dingzhou stable now?"
"General Lu is righteous. Now outside Dingbei Pass, nearly 200,000 troops, including the Hu people, are in trouble. The king of Yuzhou, Chen Bing, is on the border of Dingzhou. He is just waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with Dingbei Pass.
of the defenders to jointly suppress the enemy."
"Very good." Xu Mu clenched his fists.
Whether it's Hezhou or Dingbeiguan, the two biggest forces that the Demon Queen relies on have been blocked.
"Master, why don't you Chu's army... Zuo Shiren has captured Pancheng and is about to besiege Lidu City together with the people of the South China Sea Alliance."
"The Demon Queen also has a very dark chess move that has not been moved. If there is no mistake, this dark chess move should be near Cangzhou."
"Tang Wuyuan, or the King of Grain?"
"Tang Wuyuan can't be considered a secret chess player, he can only be the King of Food. Six Heroes, I'm always worried that at the right moment, the King of Food will attack from both sides."
"But in the nearby area... According to reports from the brothers of the Ye Xiao Group, there is no large army approaching Xiangjiang."
Xu Mu was silent for a moment and did not answer this sentence. Instead, he changed the subject.
"Previously, the scouts came to report that Zuo Shiren sent the third round of reinforcements to the Baimen Gorge. I estimate that Lu Xiang's Mi Dao army should have been wiped out."
"The Baimen Gorge is trying to block the Qingzhou Army."
"Exactly, maybe it didn't block it. And Tang Wuyuan is planning to evacuate the defenders of Dongling. I have already written and told Zuo Shiren."
"Nowadays, the main force of Dongling has invested in attacking Cangzhou. From what my lord said, Dongling may really be in danger."
"Where I used to live... there is a story called Besieging Wei to Rescue Zhao. It probably means that several sons of a family named Wei went to the Zhao family to fight, and saw that the Zhao family was about to be beaten to death. But later, Zhao
A relative of our family suddenly ran to the Wei family and wanted to beat me up."
"So, the brothers of the Wei family had no choice but to run back home in a hurry."
"Master, this is a wonderful story."
"No matter what, Tang Wuyuan is not a mediocre person. As the Demon Queen's slave, he must do something at this time."
"Captain, we have kept more than 30,000 troops from our camp on the bank of the Kezhou River. If not, we can send some over."
"Don't move for the time being. The reason for this was made clear to Zuo Shiren when I wrote the letter. Bo Lie blocked Beidi and sent orders to Dingbeiguan. He also dragged the mighty Hebei army into
Dilemma. Two of the big armies have gone away. Next, the last big army will take the lead."
"Six Heroes, write another letter and tell Patriarch Huang that I, Xu Mu, sincerely request him to send troops to Baimen Gorge to help."
"The Huang family in Kezhou has always been neutral and does not participate in wars."
"I know." Xu Mu paused, "But now the war has reached a decisive stage. You said in your letter that if the Demon Queen wins, there will be no one in Jiangnan who can stop her, and Kezhou will also
No guarantee.”
…
"Cross the Baimen Gorge!" Riding his horse, Tang Wuyuan's face was full of murderous intent. Beside Tang Wuyuan, there were more than ten thousand people and horses, all of them filled with murderous intent.
"Master, are you going to help Cangzhou? But on the other side of the waterway, they are all people from Xishu." Beside, a confidant general said.
"Instead of going to Cangzhou, we crossed the river and went directly to Dongling. The main force of Dongling was focused on the attack on Cangzhou. Even the Shanyue people had almost been dispatched. In addition, during this period, Dongling
Ling has sent several rounds of reinforcements, but I think the three states of Dong Ling are already empty."
"But Master, I will go to Dongling now, and Zuo Shiren will return to the army very quickly."
"That's it." Tang Wuyuan smiled, "Unless it means that he doesn't even want to lose his family fortune."
The confidant general thought for a while, and roughly understood the key to it. He hurriedly cupped his fists and raised his hands, "Master, this is a brilliant plan. In this way, the siege of Cangzhou can be temporarily relieved."
"But Master, there is something I don't understand...why I didn't use such a clever trick before."
"The time is wrong." Tang Wuyuan shook his head, "I can tell you that this is a series of schemes by the Queen Mother. Don't forget the information. There are still more than 30,000 troops in the Alliance headquarters on the Kezhou River."
"This Xu Buyi is indeed a ruthless man with calculations. These more than 30,000 troops were retained when the alliance was formed earlier, but now, even if the war is raging, Xu Buyi has not mobilized them."
"Why is this?"
"He is guarding against someone."
As for the name, Tang Wuyuan did not say it.
"Ma Su, can you do business?"
"Master, none of my ancestors were traders."
Tang Wuyuan smiled and said, "This businessman cares too much about gains and losses. He always misses the last step and dare not take the step out. As the Queen Mother said, I can only help him make a choice once."
