The sky was bright, the people in Xiangyang City finally found out that the army that attacked Xiangyang City last night turned out to be the army of Chang'an Guo Song, the whole Xiangyang City suddenly boiled, although it is still martial law, the people are not allowed to go to the street, but the people who can't bear the excitement in their hearts have beaten gongs and drums at home, venting their inner joy, their hard days have finally come to an end.

At noon, the pigeon letter flying from Nanyang arrived in Xiangyang City, and Pei Xin hurriedly found the military advisor Wang Yu with the pigeon letter.

"Military division, the latest information from Nanyang, Dong Xizhi sneaked up on the enemy's camp in Fangcheng County, was detected by the enemy, the army was surrounded by 50,000 troops, and Dong Xizhi's entire army was annihilated."

"What about Dong Xizhi? Is he breaking through and gone? Wang Yu asked.

Pei Xin shook his head, "He was captured by the enemy, and his head was cut off by Li Hongxin, the enemy's commander, and his head has been sent to Luoyang." ”

"So, Zhu Jun's loss is not big?"

"It should be, not only did he lose a lot of troops, but he also had a large number of troops, and his army is now at least 60,000 people."

Wang Yu took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said to Pei Xin: "Why did I ask you to attack Xiangyang City at night?" Why did you demand that martial law remain after the capture of Xiangyang? In this way, we can prevent the leakage of information, and now our biggest advantage over the enemy is that the enemy is clear and we are secret, and the other party does not know the situation in Xiangyang City. ”

Pei Xin said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Zhu Jun's spies who are ambushing in Xiangyang City have already sent the news through carrier pigeons." ”

"That's fine!"

Wang Yu smiled slightly and said: "The other party's pigeon letter generally only goes to Luoyang, not to Nanyang, Zhu Zhu received the pigeon letter this afternoon, and then sent someone to ride a horse to inform Li Hongxin, it was already three or four days later, the time is too late, I have a plan, I can return the way of others, and defeat Li Hongxin in a battle." ”

Wang Yu whispered a few words to Pei Xin, Pei Xin was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Just act according to the strategy of the military advisor!" ”

.........

At the city gate, Pei Xin said to Dong Zhu, whose eyes were red: "I will hand over the plan to lure the enemy to you this time, and after the matter is completed, I will protect it to His Royal Highness the King of Jin and ensure that you are a county commander." ”

Dong Zhu nodded and said: "Thank you General Pei for your kindness, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, but I must avenge the murder of my father, please rest assured general, I will definitely lead the enemy into the ambush circle." ”

Pei Xin said to Zhou Fei, who followed Dong Zhu to the north: "The general should be careful of the enemy cavalry, he would rather lose his strategy than be caught up by the enemy cavalry." ”

"Please rest assured, Zhou Fei will never hurt a single soldier, and he will definitely return with his whole body!"

The 3,000 people led by Zhou Fei were infantry, and he was very worried that Li Hongxin would send cavalry to pursue them, but Wang Yu was confident that Li Hongxin would definitely use cavalry to sneak attack Xiangyang, not Dong Zhu.

Pei Xin was skeptical, but he still obeyed the arrangement of the military advisor.

"Let's go!" Pei Xin ordered.

Zhou Fei hugged his fists and saluted, and led 3,000 troops to surround Dong Zhu out of the city and go north.

Just as they left, Pei Xin also led 20,000 cavalry out of the city.

Although the opposing army was three times the number of them, Pei Xin believed in the strong combat ability of his cavalry, and as long as the tactics were right, he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy army.

Li Hongxin led an army of 60,000 to kill Xiangyang, although he had personally cut off Dong Xizhi's head, but he was not satisfied, he must kill Dong Xizhi's descendants, in order to get out of the evil breath he had held for 20 years.

Of course, even if Dong Xizhi has no descendants, he still wants to seize Xiangyang, and he has been named the envoy of Jingxiang Festival and the king of Jiangling County by Zhu Zhu, the son of heaven.

In the future, not only the eight states of Jingbei will be his territory, in addition, he will also attack Liu Pi in Jingnan, this is the deep meaning of the Son of Heaven Zhu Zhu to seal him as the king of Jiangling County, if he does not seize the whole territory of Jingzhou and occupy Jiangling City, how can the king of Jiangling County live up to his name?

This is also Zhu Jun's deep meaning for his 50,000 army to go south, after capturing Xiangyang, he will not stop, leading the army straight to Jiangling City on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

At noon, the army was still seventy miles away from Zhiqi County, Dengzhou Prefecture, surrounded by a large hilly area, lush forests, numerous rivers, and a wide official road straight to the south.

"General Qiyu, fifteen miles ahead of me found an army, about three thousand people, led by Dong Zhu, the son of Dong Xizhi!"

Li Hongxin was overjoyed, he was afraid that Dong Xizhi's descendants would escape, but he didn't expect him to send it to the door, needless to say, he must have come to pick up his father, but unfortunately he came late.

"Can you be sure it's Dong Zhu?" Li Hongxin asked.

"Basically, it is certain that some brothers have seen him, and their banner is also the word 'Dong'."

Li Hongxin's mind turned, the other party only had 5,000 people guarding Xiangyang, and now Dong Zhu led 3,000 people out, so wouldn't there be only 2,000 people in Xiangyang City?

He immediately ordered: "Where is General Xiang Zuohui?" ”

Xiang Zuohui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Humble duty!" ”

"I give you 3,000 cavalry, you take a detour to Xiangyang, you deceive the city gate, and seize Xiangyang City first."

The cavalry should be led by Deng Weigong, but Li Hongxin commended Deng Weigong for his merit in capturing Dong Xizhi alive, so he sent him to Luoyang to give the Son of Heaven the merit, nominally to give the credit to Deng Weigong, but in fact to take the cavalry under Deng Weigong, Li Hongxin trusted Xiang Zuohui very much, so he ordered him to be the cavalry commander and command 3,000 cavalry.

Xiang Zuo Hui whispered: "It's better to go directly to the humble post and arrest Dong Zhu directly!" ”

Li Hongxin said noncommittally: "Dong Zhu is already a turtle in the urn, he can't escape, I'm worried that Dong Xizhi's other sons will get the news and escape from Xiangyang City, I won't be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, General Xiang, I believe you and I have the same idea." ”

Xiang Zuo Hui nodded, "What the general said is extremely true, if they don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they will be a disaster after all, and they will pretend to be the retreating army, deceive Xiangyang City, and catch the Dong Mansion full of young and old." ”

Li Hongxin took Dong Xizhi's golden arrow and gave him a smile and said: "With this golden arrow, it is absolutely foolproof!" ”

Xiang Zuo Hui took the arrow, hugged his fists and saluted, and led three thousand cavalry to immediately take charge of the official road and run towards a small road, Xiang Zuo Hui was extremely familiar with this area, and he knew that there was a small road that could lead directly to Xinye.

The 3,000 cavalry left, and Li Hongxin immediately laid an ambush and waited for Dong Zhu's 3,000 troops to throw themselves into the net.

Unexpectedly, when Dong Zhu's army was still two or three miles away from the ambush, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned around and fled.

Li Hongxin didn't expect the other party to be so shrewd, he scolded angrily, he knew that let Xiang Zuohui bypass and cut off the enemy's retreat first, just like catching Dong Xizhi, but at this time Li Hongxin had no choice but to order the whole army to chase the enemy.

The 60,000-strong army rushed on the official road, and Li Hongxin shouted: "The first to capture Dong Zhu alive, the official will be promoted to two levels, and the reward will be 3,000 taels of silver!" ”

This reward was relatively easy to cash, and the 60,000 army was greatly invigorated, and they all accelerated their speed and ran wildly on the official road, but no matter how they accelerated and ran, they were only two or three miles away from the enemy, and they could not catch up, and after an hour, the 60,000 army gradually pulled away, forming a long dragon that was nearly ten miles long.

Li Hongxin roared like thunder in anger, so he couldn't wait to catch up with Dong Zhu and split his head in half, but he didn't notice that his team was currently the most vulnerable to enemy attacks, and he couldn't organize a formation to resist at all.

"General!"

The two generals rode up to catch up, grabbed the reins of Li Hongxin's war horse on left and right, and said urgently: "The situation is not right, the enemy army must be deceitful!" ”

"Why?" Li Hongxin asked annoyedly.

"General, our army stretches for ten miles, if the enemy is ambushed, how can we resist?"

In fact, this thought also flashed in Li Hongxin's mind, but the other party only had 5,000 troops left, how could he ambush himself? He didn't take it to heart.

Li Hongxin shook his head, "You guys are too worried, Dong Zhu only has 5,000 troops in his hands, and there are 3,000 people in front, even if he ambushes 2,000 people, this amount of troops is not enough to fill in the gaps between their teeth, can they still ambush us?" ”

"General, Beizhi and General Li are worried that it is not Dong Zhu's army, but Guo Song's army, which is only two hundred miles away from Wuguan, will Guo Song stand by and watch the change in Xiangyang?"

A sentence immediately reminded Li Hongxin, he looked back at the 60,000 army, but he couldn't see the end, he began to beat the drum in his heart, and he ordered loudly: "The whole army stops moving forward!" ”

The soldiers were all out of breath and exhausted, and they all crouched down to breathe, but at this moment, a low horn suddenly sounded in the woods on both sides.

"Whew-"

The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and countless cavalry were killed from the woods on both sides, and Li Hongxin was suddenly frightened.

The 20,000 cavalry were divided into four teams, and instantly smashed into the enemy's ranks, cutting the ten-mile-long team into four sections, and the 60,000 Zhu Jun troops were killed by surprise, and the army was suddenly in chaos.
