The grass and trees in the scorching sun seemed to bend over with sluggishness, and the wind blowing through the wilderness made everything surrender. This is a war that took place in the summer of the second year of Xinghe, and even because the scale is too small, there will be no mention in the history books, and soon no one in the world will remember that there are dying Hun cavalry on the Qingzhou grassland this summer humming the obscure songs of their hometown.

The majestic horse was carrying heavy horse armor, and the Jizhou knight behind the cold covered armor was expressionless, and pulled the spear into the neck of the dying Hun soldier, and the low humming stopped abruptly. Beyond the hillside, more Qingxu sergeants marched forward in formation, laying a defensive line on a front that spread for dozens of miles.

Yuan Shang sat halfway up the mountain, the hunting wind blowing his robe, and the grass as far as the eye could see was dyed red, it was an unpredictable hand-to-hand encounter. I thought that it would be the Jizhou warriors of the Yan clan who would be the first to rush south, but he didn't expect to usher in the Hun cavalry all over the mountains, which made him say to Xiao Ji with palpitations: "Sir, thanks to the low fighting spirit of the Huns under the Yan thief, otherwise the heavy cavalry would not have been able to withdraw, and the victory or defeat would be unpredictable." It's just that since then, it is inevitable that you will not be startled, and you will come again, and you may be on guard! ”

"Although there is a small shock, the power of Yuan Gonghu's riding can also be confirmed." Xiao Ji said that he twisted his eyebrows and ordered people to remove the umbrella cover, and would rather be violent under the scorching sun with Yuan Shang, pointing to the battlefield under the mountain and saying: "You can order the digging battalion to dig out three horse trap ditches, two in the front and one in the back, Chen Bu bows and crossbows in front, foot soldiers in the center, light cavalry on both wings, and tiger cavalry in the rear, which can prevent the enemy from coming again." ”

The Duzi Battalion was a mixed army of craftsmen and soldiers who were proficient in civil engineering under Yuan Shao, led by Captain Li Zhi; The original body of the tiger cavalry was the Jizhou elite cavalry led by Yuan Shao in Qingzhou, which was heavily armored in Qingzhou, becoming the most elite and expensive army in Yuan's army, and Yuan Shang only had five hundred in his hands. However, these 500 cavalry attracted more than 2,000 Hun soldiers to chase and undefeated when they fought against the Xiongnu light cavalry before, creating an incomparable fighter for the bow and crossbow light cavalry, otherwise it would be difficult for them to repel the Huns.

"Preparedness?"

Yuan Shang was dissatisfied with this, what he wanted was to attack, whether it was an ambush or a match, after all, his father was already very unhappy. The reason for this war was that they Qingzhou wanted to counterattack Jizhou, not Jizhou to attack them, but Feng Ji's suggestion has always been defense and garrison, and even the annihilation of the enemy is only an incidental result in defense, which made him ask with melancholy: "Isn't it possible that with the wisdom of Mr., you can't come up with a way to attack Lu Yi?" ”

The most awkward problem for the strategist is that there is a better way to resolve the situation, but the monarch cannot accept it.

Before starting this war, Xiao Ji suggested that Yuan Shao should lead Lu Yi to fight south in a provocative way, relying on the big river to cut off the Yan grain route and baggage, encroaching on the defenders of the Bohai Sea and then going north to capture the Bohai Sea before winter, but Yuan Shao did not accept it and sent him to the front line.

Now forced by the situation, the battlefield is still unfolding in the northern part of Qingzhou as expected by Xiao Ji, which in his opinion is the best situation for the Yuan clan. But in the eyes of the third son of the prison army, he has become a passive slack in the war again...... Fortunately, Yuan Shao is Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shang is Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao, as the sovereign, can go his own way, but Yuan Shang still has to respect his views to some extent, and this is his opportunity.

"Third prince, General Han's army is trapped in Leling, why didn't Lu Yi attack Leling? Is it because he doesn't have the confidence to attack? After speaking, Xiao Ji shook his head and said: "Lu Yi is arrogant, he can attack and never defend, and the attack will have the heart of victory." He laid down his soldiers and horses to besiege Leling, because he knew that Leling's grain and grass were limited, even if they were besieged until winter, or even if they were besieged for three or five years, they would always win in the end, and they didn't have to let the soldiers die in places where they shouldn't die. ”

"Now we give up our geographical advantages to attack Luyi, if Luyi avoids the war, although he will not avoid the war, but if he avoids the war and retreats to Hebei, how can we cross the river to attack?" Xiao Ji sighed and said: "In Hebei, the guards we can name are Lu Yi, Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, Jiao Touch, Tai Shi Ci, Dian Wei, not to mention Yanbei in charge, I don't know how many people can't be named, once Lu Yi is defeated, Yanbei will inevitably be in person." Only by making the enemy angry and proud according to the geographical advantages of the great river, entering Henan, and then defeating and encroaching on them, can we have the strength to kill and injure the enemy army. ”

"Just now, even if our front army is defeated by the enemy, they will not be able to break through the defense line of the Tiger Cavalry, and the light cavalry on the left and right flanks can also strangle back and forth, and in the end, whether the enemy army is defeated or retreated, the Tiger Cavalry and the Light Cavalry can pursue and plunder the results. Our elite troops are still there, and the enemy's elite sergeants are dead and wounded, so they have the confidence to fight again, why do we have to go north to fight the enemy? ”

Yuan Shang was very smart, he closed his eyes and bowed deeply to Xiao Ji...... Xiao Ji didn't think about the same thing with himself, he didn't care about victory or defeat, he just wanted to achieve his father's expectations, and Xiao Ji was thinking about the victory or defeat of the whole war, and even the fate of the Yuan family.

"It's the luck of the Yuan family to have Gong Xiao here!"

The Yuan army gathered the battlefield here, built camps, dug ditches, and waited for the next big battle. The Hun soldiers who suffered defeat in the north were also accepted by Xu Huang, who was ordered to respond to the message of the Luyi, and led the defeated more than 4,000 Hun soldiers and the men and horses of the headquarters to join the Luyi Department after resting.

Lu Yi was stationed in the county, and there were still more than 19,000 troops left, and after the war, the Huns had died nearly 8,000, which was more than 1,000 more than Yuan's army, which made him feel shameless.

This feeling of obviously winning all the time, and suddenly losing the general account, made Lu Yi a little annoyed and angry, and summoned all the generals including the four living Huns and Qianchang, and scolded everyone for a while, so that Xu Huang couldn't figure it out, and sat on the top and looked at Lu Yi with a blank face.

Xu Huang's subordinates have nearly 10,000 horses, and so far they have fought two battles, and their soldiers have suffered a total of more than 200 casualties, and many of them were injured in a night attack a few days ago. If it weren't for the battle between General Koji and Feng Li, if it weren't for the Huns' rash advance, 8,000 casualties would have been completely avoided, and it was none of his business with General Xu from beginning to end.

Lu Yi's anger made Xu Huang a little impatient.

"General, General! Ye is urgent! ”

The messenger saved them, Lu Yi heard the word Ye Du and walked out of the military tent with his brows, and when he came back, his face was incomprehensible, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress his excitement, and he didn't know where to put it when he sat back in the coach's seat, and drank all the cold water with a clay pot, and then slapped his palm on the desk fiercely, clenched his fists and said: "The court Feng Zhongqing Gong, King Zhao!" ”

The Chinese military tent was in an uproar, Xu Huang's eyes widened and he forgot to close his slightly open mouth, only to see Lu Yi say this sentence and run out of the Chinese military tent like a gust of wind and sang loudly: "Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear." Enmity with the Son! ”
