"Is the news that the thief is dead?" Many of the Kwantung princes were questioning the news coming from the capital.

"I'm afraid it's true, this is the news from Wang Situ, Wang Situ is loyal and patriotic, how can he deceive us!"

Someone carefully analyzed it and said: "And at this critical time, the soldiers and horses under the command of the herdsman have withdrawn, you must know that they have captured most of Yongqiu, as long as a few days, you can break through the city, then we will be defeated, the land of Yongqiu will be a river of blood, chickens and dogs will not be left, since the victory is in hand, why should they go to such a time to obscure us with such news, so I think that it must be the thief who has an accident and was forced to let the Mu's rebels withdraw and leave!" ”

"That way, it makes sense!"

"The thief is dead, God bless the man!"

"Hahaha, we have won this battle!"

"We won!"

"Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and the shepherds have turned the world upside down, and they should have died a long time ago.

“……”

At this moment, countless princes let out excited shouts.

During this period of time, they attacked Bishui Pass violently, but they experienced the defeat of the northern front, and then the southern front was also defeated, and finally they were killed a counterattack, and they were defeated in successive battles, and the Mu army was like Mount Tai pressing the top, almost crushing their backbones.

Now the Mu clan is defeated without a fight.

It's a fluke for them.

They are a coalition of crusaders against the shepherds, representing the justice of the world, and naturally they take the credit for the herdsmen's coalition without the slightest burden.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

"If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it!"

There are also many princes who secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although Mu Shan is dead, but the strength of the Mu rebels is still there, no matter what, we must not let them withdraw their troops so smoothly, we must pursue!" Yuan Shao and Cao Cao glanced at each other a few times, and they instantly reached a consensus.

"But now that our coalition forces are seriously damaged, how can we organize our troops to pursue?"

Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu frowned, and he said in a low voice: "And the shepherd is dead, I'm afraid they won't be able to make any waves!" ”

He didn't really want to fight.

Folded a fierce general, the Jizhou army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, this is his capital to balance Jizhou, if it is all folded here, I am afraid that when he returns to Jizhou in the future, it will be difficult for him to sit firmly in the position of a prince.

"No!"

Cao Cao said firmly: "Han Envoy Jun, although the thief is dead, but the shepherd dragon is still there, this thief has done a lot of evil, insidious and vicious, more terrible than his father, we must not let this person escape, otherwise we may not have a peaceful life in the future!" ”

In his mind, Mujing is more threatening than Mushan.

He couldn't let that bane stay.

But he also knows very well that the morale of the current coalition army is actually very low, and all the princes want to preserve their strength, and if no one comes forward, it is impossible for any soldiers and horses to dare to pursue it.

"Although the Mu rebels have temporarily retreated, I think they still have a lot of strength, not to be underestimated, even if they pursue, they must be careful!"

A prince opposed the pursuit.

"Alliance leader, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the troops to pursue!"

Cao Cao surrendered his hand to ask for his life, he decided to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and wanted to leave the life of Mu Longtu at any cost.

"Accurate!"

Yuan Shao pretended to nod.

"Mu Shan is dead, Mu Longtu withdraws his troops, and he will fight with the Xiliang Army to the death!" Yuan Shu's eyes turned, and his mind also turned quickly, and he whispered to Yang Hong beside him: "Go and pass the news to Sun Wentai, and let Ji Ling lead the army to reinforce the Jiangdong Army and counterattack from the southern front, it is best to break through Luoyang City first!" ”

He didn't move his troops before, but with the Jiangdong Army as the main force charging forward, no one dared to say that he was not, even if the Kwantung Coalition Army was oppressed to a desperate situation, he did not use the most elite lineage of the Runan Army under his command.

But now it's different.

When the opportunity comes, he must seize it.

The Mu army and Xiliang are infighting, and this is a good time for him to fish in troubled waters.

The one who entered the sun first.

For the king too!

"No!"

Yang Hong took the order and left.

……

……

Chenliu County.

The Violent Bear Army, the Southern Army, the White Wave Army, the Jingping Army, and the Hun Cavalry, a total of five troops and horses were stationed inside and outside the city.

It took two days for the army to withdraw from Yongqiu.

It's not easy to march.

Withdrawal is also difficult.

Even if they don't have to cover up the news, make a boiling soup, and act generously, when withdrawing troops, they still need to guard against their exposed abdomen and backs to prevent being beaten by people Reservoir Dogs.

So it took them a lot of time to completely withdraw the army to Chenliu County.

"Returning to the capital from Chenliu, thousands of miles away, I'm afraid we will have a very difficult march!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the marching charts, and there were a lot of disgusts that he had already conceived in his heart, but the situation was like this, and it was difficult for him to make the army come to Luoyang smoothly.

You must know that although the Kwantung Coalition Army was beaten to the point of being half disabled.

But the strength of the coalition still exists.

If they chase them from behind at this time, it is necessary to divide their forces to deal with it.

"So we're going to fight!"

Mu Jing was very calm at this time.

There was a hatred in his heart that supported his calmness.

"The news can't be hidden, the news of our withdrawal can't be hidden, and similarly, the news of my father's death in the battle can't be hidden, the Kwantung Coalition Army is very entangled with the officials of the imperial court, I'm afraid that many people will be towards them, so where the news reaches them, it's just a matter of time!"

He had already thought of a safe way to withdraw his troops: "Once they react, they will definitely pursue!" ”

"Shizi, the Kwantung Alliance Army has been defeated by us, even if they know about the lord, now our forces are still above them, I'm afraid they won't dare to chase after them, maybe there is no need to worry so much!"

Huang Shao thought for a while and said.

"Huh!"

Mu Jing sneered twice and said: "There is never a fluke on the battlefield, even if some of them are unwilling to pursue, but there are people who understand, whether it is Cao Mengde or Yuan Benchu, they all know that only victory can have morale, at this time, they will definitely not let go of the opportunity to fall into the well, my head, in their eyes, is also very valuable!" ”

"So, we have to fight!"

He said categorically.

When the generals heard this, they were all silent.

As a battlefield general, he naturally understands that when the troops are withdrawn, what will be the consequences of suddenly killing the chasing troops later, the light one will be entangled, and the worst one will cause the army's heart to collapse, resulting in a big defeat in the withdrawal.

Such records abound in history.

So they don't dare to take it lightly.

"But Shizi, if we drag on here, we will lose the opportunity to be fast, once we give the Xiliang Army a chance to adjust, I'm afraid it will be ......."

Xi Zhicai didn't say it, but everyone understood what he said later.

"I know!"

Mu Jing's expression was very calm, and the calmness made everyone feel a little frightened, they had never felt such a chill on this young man, only to hear Mu Jing say lightly: "So fight quickly!" ”

"Of course, I don't need you to fight this battle!" Mu Jing said indifferently: "What you have to do is to continue to withdraw troops!" ”

"Don't you need us to fight?"

"Who fights!"

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't guess Mu Jing's thoughts.

But Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that Mu Jing was even more in mind.

He stood up and drank in a low voice: "Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Huang Shao, Zhao Ping!" ”

"In!"

Zhang Liao and the four of them stood up and stood by.

"The Jingping Army is the vanguard, the Southern Army Violent Bear Army is the Chinese Army, and the Baibo Army is behind, you should withdraw to Bishui Pass first!" Mu Jing's eyes were far-reaching, and he said: "At any cost, recapture Bishui Pass, Bishui Pass is of great significance to us!" ”

"No!"

The generals commanded.

They couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Mu Jing's gourd, but at this time, they believed Mu Jing, not because Mu Jing was the heir of Mu Shan, but because the trust that Mu Jing had accumulated over the years made them feel at ease.

"You want to mobilize the Hun cavalry?" Xi Zhicai walked up and said in a low voice.

"Well, it's waste!"

Mu Jing did not hide the slightest, and said indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid that they will fight back?" Xi Zhicai was worried: "The Huns, I can't believe it, if they know about the death of the lord, they will inevitably change their position and strike a blow against us, and our situation will be even more difficult." ”

"First, the Huns are definitely not so well-informed, so they will not be able to guess the reason for our use of troops!"

"Second, even if they know, a smart person like Yu Fuluo knows very well that the Central Plains can't tolerate them, and if he kills us, he won't be trusted by the Kwantung princes, so he won't do anything to us!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "I hire them with food, naturally I want to squeeze the value of their existence, now any soldiers and horses stay behind, it is a dead end, only the Hun cavalry, can come and go freely, so that we can quickly plan the pursuit of the Kwantung coalition army, so that we have enough time to return to the capital!" ”
