Su Fei quickly dismounted from the horse, charging all the way to Liu Qi's side and saying: "In the future, I hope my lord will atone for his sins." After saying this, he knelt down and worshiped.
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "General Su, please immediately organize the battlefield, collect the surrendered soldiers, and treat the wounded soldiers." After saying that, he turned to Gan Ning and said: "We are chasing Han Dang." He took the Flying Tiger Guards and Gan Ning eight hundred
The man chased Han Dang in the direction he left.
When Huo Jun saw the great defeat of Jiangdong soldiers and horses being killed, he immediately opened the city gate to welcome him. Liu Pan ran even faster. When he saw Su Fei, he asked: "General Su, where is my eldest brother?"
"My lord has gone after Han Dang."
Liu Pan was a little disappointed and wanted to go after Liu Qi, but in the end he held back. Together with Su Fei, he gathered the soldiers and organized the battlefield. Huo Jun and Ma Liang from the city also helped Su Fei organize the battlefield.
Half an hour later, several people gathered in the county mansion with faces full of joy. The harvest this time was really great. There were more than 4,000 people who had been surrendered. More than 4,000 people were a lot for Liu Qi now.
, to say that Liu Qi was appointed as the general to conquer the south, and he only commanded an army of 20,000 people. These more than 4,000 people were equivalent to one-fifth of Liu Qi's troops. How could they not be happy?
In addition, Su Fei told them that Liu Qi had gathered more than 10,000 surrendered troops in Linxiang, and now Liu Qi had nearly 40,000 troops under his command, more than any other county.
And the harvest this time was not only 4,000 surrendered troops, but also 5,000 pieces of armor and 7,000 weapons. This was the harvest from sorting out the battlefield. Later, they also looted the camp of Han Dang's army and obtained 2,000 dans.
Food and grass. This way they don't have to worry about food and grass for the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Liu Qi.
In the hall, Su Fei recounted what happened in Linxiang.
When Huo Jun heard that Liu Qi captured Linxiang City in three days, he sighed: "I didn't expect that the general only took three days to pacify Linxiang. If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed it." Huo Jun was good at defending.
The city naturally knows how difficult it is to capture a city. There are only 2,000 troops in Youxian City, which can stop Han Dang's 10,000-strong army from attacking the city in turn. However, with 30,000 troops in Linxiang City, it is almost impossible for Liu Qi to capture it.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi used a clever plan to break the city from the inside.
Su Fei smiled and said: "Thanks to the military advisor's ingenious plan, otherwise the losses would have been huge this time." Huo Jun nodded. Attacking a city is the most labor-intensive thing. According to the art of war, the purpose of encircling a city ten times is to reduce the number of soldiers.
Casualties or casualties, lest the gain outweigh the loss.
Ma Liang raised his head and looked at Su Fei and said, "General Su, I'm afraid he hasn't rested for two days, right? It's better to go down and rest for a while. I'm afraid there will be a celebration banquet when the lord comes back. Don't miss it." Although Ma Liang saw Su Fei,
He persuaded with an excited face but could not hide his tiredness.
Su Fei said: "Well, I'm really tired, so I'll go down and rest first." After saying that, he clasped his fists at several people and left.
Su Fei returned to the temporary camp, but saw that the camp was extremely deserted. He couldn't help but be puzzled. He walked to a tent and opened it. He saw the soldiers inside the tent with their legs spread out and sleeping soundly. Su Fei couldn't help but wonder
He smiled, then after seeing several tents in a row like this, he breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out, returned to the tent and fell asleep.
Not only did these five thousand troops not sleep for two days, but they also walked to Youxian County on one foot. After running for nearly a hundred miles, they were already exhausted. They only managed to reach Youxian County with one breath, and then rushed into the battlefield.
Although I didn't fight much, I was still very tired. Now that I was finally done, I naturally needed to rest.
Liu Qi knew that running for hundreds of miles was tiring, but he did not dare to let the soldiers rest. He was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to stand up once they rested, so he ordered the five thousand soldiers and horses to fight as soon as they arrived.
In Liu Pan's camp, after the battle just now, the team of 500 people was reduced to more than 300 people. These more than 300 people had put on new armor, and the soldiers they brought with them passed through the night for treatment. At this time, they all gathered together.
In the camp, he stood there quietly with his head wrapped in white cloth.
In front of them were tattered armors. The armors were clean without any dust, and shone like gold in the sunset. If the armors were not incomplete, they would have thought they were new.
More than 300 people stood silently without saying anything until the sun went down, then they silently picked up the tattered armor and buried it on the spot in the camp.
The breeze blew by, turning up the weeds on the ground. How many years later, who would know that the unyielding fighting spirit was buried here, and who would know that the world-famous Fengya Camp was born here.
In the early morning, You County seemed to have returned to its previous peace. The sound of war drums accompanied the footsteps of the early morning. People in You County had become accustomed to it. However, several people in the county government could not calm down because Liu Qi did not come back.
Yesterday Liu Qi led the cavalry to pursue Han Dang. He knew that this morning and the whole night Liu Qi seemed to have disappeared without any news.
Several people in the hall looked worried, and Liu Pan said gloomily: "No news yet?"
Ma Liang smiled bitterly and said: "We have sent out more than a dozen teams of scouts, but there is no news so far. Even the scouts have not returned."
Several people in the hall knew that something had happened. Even if there was no news about Liu Qi, the scouts should come back. Now that none of the scouts have come back, it means that they were killed. Who has the strength to kill them all?
I vaguely felt that it was Jiangdong, but Jiangdong's soldiers and horses had just been defeated by them. Where did the soldiers and horses come from now?
As the de facto supreme commander here, Liu Pan asked: "What should we do now? What do you think?"
Su Fei was the first to say: "My lord has not come back yet, so I am afraid he is in danger. We should immediately lead our troops and horses to meet our lord." The cavalry with Liu Qi were all the best among the best, but Liu Qi still did not come back. Liu Qi's
The situation is probably not optimistic.
After hearing Su Fei's words, Huo Jun frowned and sighed without saying anything. The current situation was different from last time. Now that Liu Qi was outside, he could not stop Su Fei from going to rescue Liu Qi.
Ma Liang stood up and said, "No, we don't know who the enemy is yet. If we send troops out of the city rashly, what should we do if something goes wrong? What's more, we don't know where the lord is now, so how can we send troops to support him?"
Liu Pan turned to look at Huo Jun. Huo Jun stood up and said: "I agree with General Ma. The situation is unclear now and we should not rush to send troops out of the city. Moreover, the eldest son is cautious and will definitely send someone to summons if he encounters danger."
After listening to the words of the three people, Liu Pan lowered his head and thought. They knew that Liu Pan was thinking but did not rush him. He could not decide whether to leave the city or not. Naturally, he wanted to go out of the city to save his elder brother, but as Ma Liang said, the situation outside is unknown now.
, the eldest brother doesn’t know where he is. Moreover, the lesson he learned last time is still fresh in his mind, and he doesn’t want his subordinates to die because of him again.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Pan finally raised his head. Several people looked at Liu Pan and waited for his decision. Liu Pan said: "General Huo, you can lead people to repair the city wall and clean the moat. General Su, please immediately lead people to prepare arrows.
Rolling logs, boulders and crossbows collapsed on the city wall. At the same time, the army was ordered to be on standby." After that, he looked at Ma Liang and said: "General Ma, you immediately send out scouts again to find out what happened."
"No." After hearing Liu Pan's order, several people stood up and responded, then turned around to prepare. Then they heard a sergeant coming from outside to report: "Report to the general, a scout has returned."
Everyone in the audience looked happy, finally a scout came back.
"Let's go and have a look." Liu Qi and a few others immediately headed towards the city gate. Before they reached the city gate, they saw a scout lying on a horse and coming toward them. The scout was covered in wounds, his armor was covered with blood, and his helmet was also covered with wounds.
Don't know where it fell.
When several people saw this situation, they rushed forward and asked, "What happened? Where are the other scouts?"
The scout glanced at a few people, and when he saw Ma Liang, he hurriedly said: "It's Jiangdong's army, 30,000 Jiangdong's army. They blocked all the roads leading to You County, and sent soldiers and horses to attack us. Brothers fought with all their lives.
That’s how I escaped.”
Everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, they had just repelled Jiangdong's 10,000 troops. In the blink of an eye, another 30,000 troops came. Liu Qi took a deep breath and looked at Ma Liang and said, "Is this our scout?" Several people around him looked at Liu Pan when he asked.
Ma Liang.
Ma Liang nodded and said, "I sent out thirteen batches of scouts this morning, and he was the last batch."
