With a complete victory, I withdrew my troops and went back to celebrate the feast. The generals were all drinking to their heart's content, celebrating their victory.
I asked for the opinion of the generals and asked: "Now that our army has greatly defeated Shi Xie, the main force of Shi Xie has already been defeated by our army. I wonder if we should immediately send out troops to attack Shi Xie and destroy him?" All of the generals were silent as they thought about whether or not they should attack Shi Xie.
Yuan Hui said: "But my lord, because our army fought a tough battle against Shi Xie's army in the Zhuya County, our soldiers are extremely tired! In these two battles, our army had already lost close to eight people. Although Shi Xie's soldiers that were captured had been replenished, and our army reached 30,000, most of them still refused to accept this! If we were to recklessly attack Shi Xie, I'm afraid our army will lose! " I listened in silence.
From outside, such a voice came out: "Yuan Hui's worries are indeed not bad! But we can't raise a tiger! Our army has already won against Shi Xie's army, if we do not take this chance to attack Shi Xie, once Shi Xie recovers his energy, the outcome will be unknown! Don't forget, Shi Xie is still the's master in name! Furthermore, he has a lot of prestige in the Jiao Prefecture! His rallying power could not be underestimated! Although our army has Zhu Fu, the puppet, as the Jiao Prefecture's master, Zhu Fu's rallying power is not comparable to Shi Xie's! "
The generals and I looked towards the speaker. I was overjoyed. "Second Brother!" It's you! Second Brother, you're back! " Chen Zhi cupped his hands towards me: "My lord, it is fortunate that this subordinate did not have a dirty life. Liu Yan has already accepted the Establishment as his subordinate, and he still sent troops behind the xanthopanax to threaten the xanthopanax."
I said, "I know, I know. If we do not succeed, the xanthopanax will definitely increase our attack on Yu Lin County! Otherwise, how can I breathe a sigh of relief! "
Chen Zhi said with a serious face, "My lord, now is not the time to relax!" I asked anxiously, "What do you mean?" Chen Zhi answered me: "My lord, although Liu Yan accepted our request to become his subordinate, he does not wish for our army's strength to increase by a large amount! After the strength of our army increases, he will no longer be able to control us. As long as the Jiao Prefecture is broken into pieces, he will be one less threat. In the future, it will be much easier for him to take over the Jiao Prefecture! "
I nodded repeatedly. "Ugh! What second brother said made sense! Oh right, Second Brother, you don't have to call me Master, you can call me Fourth Brother! " Chen Zhi looked at me "This …" "Second Brother!" I looked straight at Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi laughed before saying, "Right now, Shi Xie is already a heavily injured tiger, we need to seize this opportunity to defeat Shi Xie! "My lord, please do not be afraid of hard work and immediately send out troops!"
Yuan Hui expressed his concerns, "But General Chen, we do not have enough troops! Don't forget that the General Han Cheng is leading soldiers to resist the attacks of the xanthopanax! If our army were to lose, we would be homeless again! Once upon a time, Gauzu emperor and Light Martial Emperor had all stabilized their foundations and plotted against the world! The one that General Han is guarding is our base, so I think it should be the one supporting General Han instead! " Chen Zhi laughed and said: "General Han is extremely resourceful, this xanthopanax is unable to defeat General Han. Adding this, this xanthopanax is also worried that Liu Yan will attack his rear.
He was even more afraid to attack our army. Also, don't we have a captive from Shi Xie Army? Isn't our military strength now at thirty thousand men? " Yuan Hui's face revealed worry, and said: "They aren't sincerely submitting to us!
Chen Zhi laughed and said: "Don't forget that your benevolent name is known by the entire Jiao Prefecture! The benevolence of the Lord has made all men willing to live under the command of the Lord. Unlike Shi Xie, who was extremely heavy, many of the citizens were recruited into the war. The people under Shi Xie's rule looked forward to their master's benevolence. It was like looking forward to drinking sweet water in the desert. Furthermore, the lord had always given preferential treatment to the prisoners. Those who were willing to stay and work for our army, if they were unwilling, they would be paid to return home. Because of this, the captives would not pose too much of a threat to us. Instead, they would become our best soldiers. We'll mix the captives with the original soldiers of our army, treat them the same way, and nothing will happen to them! "Even if something happens, it can be solved by the original soldiers of our army."
I nodded, and after a few happy laughs I said, "Alright! I've made up my mind! Give the order to prepare ten thousand men, we will attack Shi Xie! We are going to eliminate Shi Xie! " Good! Our army will definitely win! " The generals raised their arms and shouted loudly.
Chen Zhi said: "Now, our army can pretend to be returning to help the General Han Cheng to resist the xanthopanax, but in reality, we are sending troops to attack Shi Xie, and we must have caught him off guard!" I happily praised, "Good plan! Good plan! Good! So be it! "
Then, I turned to Yuan Hui and asked, "Is Yan doing well in Ankang?" My concern was palpable, and I wanted to know more about Yan. Yuan Hui thought to himself: "Since Madame has been disfigured by someone, of course she doesn't want to see Master anymore. Sigh! I think I'll tell you the truth! " Therefore, Yuan Hui said: "Master, Madam has already woken up, but …." Yuan Hui paused for a moment to pay attention to me, I anxiously wanted to know about Yan's situation and asked: "How is it?" "Madam doesn't want to see you!" My mouth opened wide in disbelief. "What? She doesn't miss me? Why!? I'm her husband! Why didn't she want to see me? No! I need to hurry back to Ankang! " I turned to leave.
Yuan Hui was shocked when he heard it: "Master has already decided to attack Shi Xie, if he were to head back to Ankang now, wouldn't that be a huge blow to the morale of our army? No! "Even if it's a white lie, I have to lie to my lord!" Yuan Hui then called out to me, "Master!"
Because of this, I stopped in my tracks, turned around, and asked Yuan Hui: "Yuan Hui, what are you trying to say?" This was the first time Yuan Hui lied. He was extremely anxious, and after he secretly encouraged himself, he said with a trembling voice: "I-It's nothing! My Lord, the Madam said that she does not want to see you right now because you are leading the troops to fight the enemy. It is not too late to meet her after you have defeated the enemy! " I asked anxiously, "Is that really what Yan said? Really? You didn't lie to me? " Yuan Hui nodded his head, but his heart skipped a beat, because as a disciple of the Gui Clan, he was not used to lying.
Li Xiong, Chen Zhi, Zhang Tie and the others also came up to me and said, "That's right! Fourth brother, I'm worried about you right now. I'm afraid that you won't be able to fight this battle, so I don't want to see you! Right now, it's more important for you to first defeat your strong enemy so that you can go see your sister-in-law! "
Seeing that everyone had said that, I believed their words. I looked towards the Ankang and said, "Yan, just wait! After I destroy Shi Xie, I will return to accompany you! I believe that you will be able to bring back one of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing to treat you! Don't worry! "Yan …"
Japan. Shi Xin ran in and said to Shi Xie: "Father, I heard that Fan Li's army returned to save Han Cheng, and together with him, they resisted the xanthopanax! When Fan Li Army leaves, father can be at ease! " Shi Xie muttered, "Fan Li, return to the army to rescue Han Cheng? Something didn't seem right! Is it a trick? " Shi Yi said: "Big brother, I don't think there's any tricks! If Fan Li did not return to the army and ask for Han Cheng's help, then the xanthopanax would be able to take his foundation and destroy him! He can't be so stupid as to give up his evil intentions and attack our army, right? Furthermore, he did not have absolute confidence in winning against our army! "
Shi Xin's face showed worry, and said: "Father, we can't just guard against Fan Li!" Shi Xie nodded, "That's right! What you said makes a lot of sense! He wasn't afraid of ten thousand, just in case! Brother Wu, what do you think? " Shi Wu said: "Big Brother, I think we should guard against Fan Li for a bit! In case he raids our army! " Shi Xie said, "Alright! We will be setting up traps along the way, just in case Fan Li makes a surprise attack! "
On the other hand, I was leading my men and walking forward. I looked at the mountain range along the road and said worriedly, "I am just afraid that Shi Xie will set up an ambush here. It's a pity that our Jiao Prefecture has many mountains here! Sigh! There are mountain roads everywhere, so where can I go without taking a mountain road? " Chen Zhi said: "How about we split into two teams, this way we can both save each other!" I nodded in agreement. Let's do it this way! "
When Shi Xin saw that my army had already entered the ambush zone, he said to Shi Wu: "Uncle, then I split my troops into two teams because I want to guard against Fan Li's troops from setting up an ambush circle here!" Shi Wu sneered: "So what! I think that Fan Li must be in the middle of the second group, my army will let the first group pass, and when it is time for the second group, we will ambush, and we must kill Fan Li! "So that we can avenge our forty thousand strong army!"
Shi Xin said happily: "Uncle's brilliant! Fan Li was dead for sure! Good! I will instruct them right away! " He hopped off to give orders.
Shi Wu stared at Fan Li's army who was walking down the mountain. Suddenly, Shi Wu shouted happily: "This is great! Great! Fan Li is already here! He ordered the archers to shoot in Fan Li's direction! I want to turn him into a hedgehog! Fire the arrows! "
Following Shi Wu's loud shout, the arrows, like locusts, concentrated at my location. "Ahhh!" When I saw so many arrows shooting towards me, I couldn't help but scream out in shock. I hurriedly pulled out my sword to block the arrows, "Aiya!" I cried out in pain and fell off my horse with an arrow in my arm. " Ah ~! My lord! "My lord!"
Yu Du shouted as his left hand wielded the shield and his right hand wielded the sword. He leapt and landed beside me, he waved the shield and sword in his hand to block the arrows, then Yu Du turned to me and asked: "Master, are you alright?!"
I gritted my teeth and said, "It's fine! Don't worry! General Yu, quickly tell our brothers to retreat! "
Yu Du said: "Master, let us get out of this encirclement first!" I nodded. "Alright!" I whistled, and the horse galloped to my side, I jumped on the horse, extended my good hand, and shouted: "Yu Du, come up! "Grab my hand!" "Alright!" Yu Du grabbed my hand and jumped onto the back of the horse.
The soldier aimed an arrow at me and sneered, "Hmph! Trying to escape! Go to hell! Brothers, shoot at me! "You must shoot me to death!" "Sou!" An arrow flew straight towards Yu Du and me. " "Ah ~!
Yu Du's back was hit by an arrow, I immediately turned around and shouted loudly: "General Yu! General Yu! "
"Chi!" "Chi!" "Swish!" A sound rang out. It was the sound of a rain of arrows shooting towards us. Without even thinking, Yu Du's body suddenly pressed down. He used his own body to press me down, and countless of arrows shot towards Yu Du's body. My horse was also hit by a few arrows, but he managed to run away with a gallop, despite the pain. He charged through the encirclement like a flying dragon.
Shi Wu was furious, he threw the bow to the ground, it was clear that he was angry at Lu Ma's escape, Shi Wu shouted fiercely: "Fan Li has already been shot and turned into a hedgehog! Go on! Send the entire army out to snatch Fan Li's corpse for me! I want to tear Fan Li into a thousand pieces! " Si Huang shouted, "Brothers, charge with me!" Shi Xie's men rushed towards Fan Li, causing Fan Li's troops to be completely defeated.
Would Fan Li be annihilated by Shi Xie's army? Was Fan Li killed in battle? Next chapter will see for itself!
