Kou Yingjian horses are like flying, behind him 20,000 Liaodong athletes iron horses sonorous, pennants are waving, sweeping across the vast land when the sky is overwhelming, saving soldiers like fighting fires, after sending troops, the whole army is almost non-stop, only stopped twice on the way to eat dry food, and then did not stop at all.

In his heart, he also estimated that although Xu Chang only had 4,000 soldiers and horses, they were all elite cavalry, even if they were surrounded, it would not be easy for the Northwest Army to consume this army in a short period of time.

He also knows Xu Chang and Zhao You very well, the old brothers of decades, know the root of their temperament, and know that these two people are in a desperate situation, and they will definitely not give up easily, and they will definitely lead their subordinates to fight to the end.

It was precisely because of his confidence in the perseverance of Xu Chang and the Liaodong Army that Kou Ying believed that even if they were surrounded, they would definitely hold out to the end and wait for reinforcements.

Of course, Kou Ying didn't want to lose the four thousand iron horses, more than half of the four thousand iron horses were from the Huangjia Tiger Cavalry, and some of the Chibei Cavalry were the backbone of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and he would never allow this army to be eaten by the Northwest Army because of his miscalculation.

Kou Ying is already in his early fifties, but he is old and strong, and he travels long distances without tiredness.

The cold wind was cold, and there was a horse galloping back in front of him: "Report to the general, Xu Qianhu's headquarters is besieged on the Yellow Ridge, and the Yellow Ridge has been besieged by the Northwest Army. ”

"Is the Northwest Army attacking Huangling?" Kou Ying asked in a deep voice.

"General Huiyu, I only saw the Northwest Army surrounded under the mountains, and I didn't see them attacking the mountains." Tanma reported: "There is our flag fluttering on the mountain, and I can't hear the sound of fighting over there, but it is very quiet." ”

Kou Ying took a deep breath, although he was already prepared in his heart, but this was the last thing he wanted to see.

Although he knew that Chu Huan was swallowing mountains and rivers with the momentum of a tiger and a wolf, and the Liaodong Army would have to fight with the Northwest Army sooner or later, at least for now, Kou Ying was not really prepared for a decisive battle with the Northwest Army.

After following Chi Liandian for many years, Kou Ying at least understood one truth, when the enemy looks extremely strong, but it may not be invincible, and the enemy looks very weak, but it may not be impossible to defeat the other party.

The key to victory or defeat is not only whether the soldiers and horses are strong, but also involves too many factors, whether it is the right time and place, whether it is morale and equipment, whether it is logistics and tactics, every factor may determine the outcome of the war, and it is precisely because of this that a qualified general must know himself and his opponent, figure out the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, discover and even create opportunities, attack the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths, and make full preparations, so as to ensure that he is invincible.

But now the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Kou Ying asked himself that he was not fully prepared for a decisive battle with the Northwest Army.

Whether it was logistics equipment, or the right time and place, or even morale and tactics, Kou Ying found that he didn't seem to have an advantage in any of them.

The wind is scorching, and the cold air fills the sky and the earth.

Kou Ying had already stopped his horse, and at this time it was only twenty miles away from the Yellow Ridge, but although the Yellow Ridge was a mountain, the altitude was very low, and twenty miles away, the edges and corners of the mountain range could not be seen.

"The order goes down, the whole army dismounts, and stands by in place, without the order of the general, you must not act rashly." Kou Ying's expression was grim.

"Second brother, why don't you call it immediately?" One of the people next to him couldn't help but ask: "Starling, they are surrounded on the mountain, the Northwest Army has already taken action, we don't need to be polite, since they have trapped Huangling, obviously they will not easily let the starling retreat, if we don't fight over, the starling they won't be able to get out." ”

Kou Ying frowned and said: "Chu Huan did not launch an attack on the Yellow Ridge, our flag is still floating on the mountain ridge, and the eighth child should still be safe and sound." We don't know exactly what's going on, and we can't act rashly until we understand the situation. After thinking for a while, he said, "Seventeenth brother, I want you to do something." ”

"Second brother, just give orders."

"Do you dare to go to the Northwest Military Camp?" Kou Ying stared at Seventeen and asked, "I wrote a letter by myself, you send it to Chu Huan!" ”

Seventeen said without hesitation: "Second brother's orders, how can you not obey them?" ”

Kou Ying was quite happy, wrote a letter at the moment, and carefully instructed Seventeen, and then sent a few people to follow Seventeen to Huangling, but the main cavalry of Liaodong stood by and did not act rashly.

Seventeen Pegasus came out of the battle, twenty miles, and Sumeru arrived, and he could clearly see the banner of the Liaodong Army fluttering on the mountain ridge, and he could see the black and oppressive northwest cavalry in a group.

Before getting closer, the Northwest Cavalry Pegasus Battalion had already come up to meet them, surrounded the seventeenth and other cadres, and learned that the Seventeenth had a letter to present to Chu Huan, and the Northwest Rangers only took the Seventeen people to go alone, but fortunately, the thirty-six horsemen were all brave people, but there was no one of them, and the Seventeen was not afraid, and followed the Northwest Rangers to a camp under the mountains.

The northwestern army was endless, and there was no end in sight, and the tents in the camp were very simple, and the letters were first sent into the tent, and after a while, seventeen were summoned into the tent.

Entering the tent, Seventeen saw that there were more than ten armored Northwest generals in the tent on both sides, and there was a person sitting in the center, young and looking only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, Seventeen had already heard that the King of Chu was a young man, and when he saw it at this time, he knew that the person in front of him must be Chu Huan, but he was not rude, and arched his hand and said: "Humble General Qi Sheng, meet the King of Chu!" ”

This young man was naturally Chu Huan, looked at Qi Sheng a few times, and then said: "Are you Liaodong people used to changing every day?" ”

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what the King of Chu said about this?" ”

"Don't you know that not long ago, you sent a war letter to this king, and you want to compete with my northwest iron horse." Chu Huan stared at Qi Sheng, "Since you have worked hard and come all the way from Liaodong to hunt Hexi with this king, this king will naturally not refuse." Throwing out the letter in his hand, "But this time I sent this inexplicable and wonderful letter, and I actually asked why this king wanted to surround the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, hehe, since the war book has already been delivered, this army of soldiers and horses has entered the territory of this king, and this king does not surround them, do you still want to invite them to a big meal?" ”

"War book?" Qi Sheng was busy: "The King of Chu misunderstood, in fact, the war letter was sent by Mo Wuyi to send someone over, General Kou tried his best to stop it, General Kou did not intend to conflict with the King of Chu, and General Kou had already heard of the reputation of the King of Chu and admired the King of Chu very much, but he hoped to make friends with the King of Chu. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "General Kou? Touching his chin and said: "As far as this king knows, the commander of Liaodong seems to be Mo Wuyi, how did he become General Kou?" ”

Qi Sheng hesitated for a moment before he said: "King Chu, it's really not a secret, Mo Wuyi has no talent to command the army, and the army has already supported General Kou as the commander." ”

"I see." Chu Huan said: "You mean, that General Kou is unwilling to be an enemy of this king?" In that case, why did you send thousands of iron horsemen to Gucheng? You don't think they're here for sightseeing, do you? ”

"Actually, it was just a misunderstanding." Qi Sheng said: "After General Kou took charge of the army, he didn't want to have any friction with the King of Chu, and he had decided to withdraw his troops and return to Liaodong, but it was not a secret, the King of Chu was famous, no matter who it was, he would be jealous, General Kou was worried that when he withdrew the army, the King of Chu would pursue from behind, and these thousands of soldiers and horses did not want to approach the fortified city, but to sweep the formation behind." ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "That's the case, General Kou sent you here, I don't know what his intentions are?" ”

"General Kou has ordered the withdrawal of troops and sent me here to explain the misunderstanding, so as to avoid unnecessary friction between you and us." Qi Sheng said: "General Kou's meaning, please withdraw the troops of the King of Chu, we will immediately withdraw the soldiers and horses of Huangling, all the horses, and withdraw to Liaodong on the same day, if the King of Chu agrees, General Kou will prepare a generous gift, and is willing to make a good alliance with the King of Chu." ”

"You first wrote a war letter, and now the soldiers and horses are trapped, and you show goodwill, military and political affairs are like children playing at home." Chu Huan sighed: "How can this king believe this? ”

Qi Sheng frowned and said, "What about the King of Chu?" King Chu, to be honest, I have 20,000 iron horsemen, if you shoot, plus the soldiers and horses of Huangling, the strength is far above the King of Chu, once you fight, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which is not a good thing for both you and me. If we can be friends, why does the King of Chu have to be enemies with us? ”

Chu Huan laughed and said: "Actually, this king likes to make friends the most, if General Kou is really willing to make friends with this king, how can this king not be happy?" It's just that you want to make friends, and you always have to show sincerity, so let's do it, if General Kou really wants to make friends with our Northwest Army, he can come to this king's camp and drink with this king, and this king can guarantee that as long as General Kou can show sincerity, this king can not only ensure that General Kou is safe and sound, but also let General Kou take away thousands of Liaodong soldiers and horses on the mountain, what do you think? ”

"How can this be?" Qi Sheng's face sank.

Chu Huan suddenly got up and sneered: "In this way, General Kou is not sincere? This king knows that there are many soldiers and horses on your side, but this king might as well tell you that if you have returned to Liaodong honestly, this king can not worry about you, but this king has already ordered Hexi, and you will send troops to attack, for the northwest man, the opponent has already broken into the courtyard, and if you don't make a move, wouldn't it be in vain to give birth to a seven-foot body. Raising his hand and pointing at Qi Sheng, "This king will let you go back now, you tell Kou Ying, if he wants to fight with this king into a jade silk, he will come to apologize to this king in person, and this king promises to let you go, otherwise this king has already received your war letter, and tens of thousands of athletes in my northwest have already been ready to fight with you. ”
