PS: The situation is very bad, now send the second watch, ask for everyone's emergency fire support!

"We have limited troops, these four thousand iron cavalry, as long as we lose one or two thousand, we have no combat power. But what about Zhang Bao, even if his 20,000 army is wiped out, as long as he escapes, he still has more than 100,000 horses in Jixian County, and 100,000 troops in Shanggu and Daijun. Li Pengfei said earnestly, "In the current situation, Zhang Bao can afford to lose, but we can't afford it, even if it is a small loss." There are still many battles to be fought to pacify the Yellow Turban Thieves, and if we lose hundreds of thousands of people every time, how many times can we lose? ”

"But, big brother, you alarmed Zhang Bao like this and let him run away, we don't have any losses, but we can't destroy the enemy." Zhao Yun argued.

Li Pengfei Zhizhu said in his hand: "Then don't let him escape from our palms." ”

"Don't let him escape? How is this possible? We are completely unaware of the movements of Zhang Bao's army. Zhao Yun said suspiciously.

Li Pengfei said with a smile: "Where Pengju and Zhang Bao hold each other, Luoshui is to the south, plus Pengju's 2,000 troops are guarding, Zhang Bao will definitely not be able to pass, so he only has three directions to escape." And in the east and west directions, does he dare to escape? ”

Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "So the eldest brother concluded that Zhang Bao fled north? ”

Li Pengfei nodded.

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and then asked, "Big brother, when did you leak our news to Zhang Bao?" ”

Li Pengfei smiled and said: "Zilong, I didn't leak our news to Zhang Bao, otherwise how would we ambush him?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded and muttered, "yes...... But big brother, how can you let Zhang Bao decide to escape? ”

"Zilong, do you remember that Yigong also led an army of two thousand to leave Yongnu, right?" Li Pengfei said.

"Well, I remember that Yigong left with Peng Ju at the beginning." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Hey, isn't Yigong with Pengju?" ”

Li Pengfei shook his head and said, "No, they separated as soon as they left Yongnu. In fact, I just let Yigong appear in the sight of Zhang Baojun's scouts under our banner. ”

Zhao Yun suddenly realized: "Ah, so that's the case." At that time, I wondered why the eldest brother asked to give all the surplus horses of our army to Yigong, and also asked Brother Bogui to borrow a thousand war horses, it turned out that Yigong pretended to be us to confuse Zhang Bao. In this way, under the threat of our army's oppression, Zhang Bao would definitely think of the true purpose of Pengju's army, and he would definitely not dare to continue to advance eastward, and as for crossing south and fleeing west, he would not dare to make such a choice. The eldest brother's plan to scare the snake is really wonderful! ”

Hearing Zhao Yun's analysis, Li Pengfei couldn't help but be a little impressed. Sure enough, he is a famous general, even if he has not experienced a few big battles now, but from this simple analysis just now, he has shown his potential.

Zhao Yun didn't know the emotion in Li Pengfei's heart, he looked at Li Pengfei with admiration, and said in his heart How does the eldest brother's head grow, why do you have so many ideas? No, before the army set off, it had already anticipated the trend of the battlefield behind it, and made targeted arrangements. The ancients said that in the strategizing, the decisive victory is only like this!

Seeing the historical figures he once admired and looking at himself with adoring eyes, Li Pengfei's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, although Zhao Yun today is just a teenager who has just turned 18 years old.

is different from Li Pengfei, who is in a happy mood, but Zhang Bao at this moment is preoccupied and depressed.

Although the suspicious soldiers he sent had attracted the attention of Li Yi's iron cavalry and caused him to lead the iron cavalry to chase down, he did not feel any joy of success.

Think about how high-spirited he was a few months ago, when the rebel army succeeded in doing a successful move and led an army of 100,000 to the north of Youzhou with great ambition. But now only two or three months have passed, but he has fled like a lost dog, or after using the strategy of a strong man breaking his wrist.

Presumably, the 3,000 troops who withdrew to the west may have all died under the iron hooves of Li Yijun's army at this moment, right?

Zhang Bao knew that after discovering that he had been deceived, Li Yi would definitely go crazy and slaughter the 3,000 army.

While thinking about his thoughts, Zhang Bao sat weakly on his war horse and ran towards the Gu River with the army in no hurry. As long as you cross the narrow strip between the Gu River and the Baoqiu River, you will be able to cross the Great Plain of the Pingchuan River. From there, you can go straight to Lu County in the north, or you can go west directly to Ji County.

Zhang Bao was anxious, he wanted to return to his old nest in Youzhou as soon as possible. Only when he returned there, with a strong city and the backing of more than 100,000 troops, could Zhang Bao have the confidence to resist Li Pengfei's attack.

Since he led the army to start an incident, he has fought dozens of battles with the imperial court, and he has always won more than he lost, and even if he fails, it is just a loss of hundreds of thousands of men and horses, and it is just the loss of those cannon fodder outcasts.

But this time, not only did he lose, but he was also very likely to lose his life.

Originally, he also wanted to lead the army to Yongnu to pick up cheap, and by the way, accept Zhang Qun's sincerity, in this way, the entire Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou is all under his control. But he didn't expect to fall for Li Yi's tricks, and without realizing it, he lost 9,000 men and horses of the front army, as well as tens of thousands of grains.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity early and used a trick to get rid of Li Yi's pursuers.

Despite this, Zhang Bao's heart is still a little unsteady. He didn't know why Li Yi's iron cavalry didn't attack immediately after the scouts discovered Li Yijun's traces. In that case, there is no way to escape.

In the wilderness, under the impact of the four thousand iron horsemen, the impregnable camp built by himself could not withstand the impact of the four thousand iron horsemen.

Fortunately, Li Yi did not attack immediately, and he was ready to send troops at any time in order to attack the enemy, so he was able to slip away at the first time after learning that Li Yi's cavalry appeared nearby.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bao couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Zhang Bao's whip was raised high, and he said loudly to Bao Dan not far away: "Order the troops to speed up their march and cross the Gu River as soon as possible." ”

"General, the soldiers have not rested for ten hours since they began their march yesterday morning, and they are very tired. Now that they are suddenly ordered to speed up, I'm afraid everyone's physical strength will not be sustainable? Bao Dan said worriedly.

Bao Dan's worries are justified, since yesterday morning, after they pulled out the camp, first marched for a day, and then just when they were about to camp, they got the news that Li Yijun was preparing to cross the river in Anpingdu, and after being tossed for an hour or two, he learned that Zhongji had been deceived, so he fled in a hurry, and he did not get a moment of rest along the way.

Zhang Bao said worriedly: "Since Zhang Ge's troops retreated from Anpingdu last night, there has been no news from them. There are only two situations that may cause Zhang Ge's scouts to not be heard. The first is that his troops have been surrounded by the Han army and cannot send the news, and the second is that his troops have been defeated by the Han army and have fled, and no one has sent us the news. In either case, it shows that Li Yi's main force has crossed Luoshui. If Zhang Ge has already been defeated, then Li Yi is very likely to have his hands free. And Li Yi's army is all cavalry, although we have the first hand, we may not be able to get rid of him, he may rush to the Gu River at any time to cut off our retreat. ”

Bao Dan hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Zhang Ge is also a general under the general's command, and he is very powerful, and Li Yi may have to work hard to eat him." Maybe they're still fighting by the water. ”

Zhang Bao scoffed and said very dissatisfiedly: "It's useless to estimate how many possibilities there are, it's just a possibility, and it doesn't make any sense." The most realistic fact is that the enemy has already appeared before us. If they want to stop us, the area around the Gu River is the best battlefield. And if we want to get out of danger, the only way is to get out of here as quickly as possible. ”

"What should we do if the enemy has already arrived at the Gu River?" Bao Dan was silent for a long time, and then suddenly asked.

Zhang Bao's face changed, and he said resolutely: "I would rather die in battle than surrender." Would you like to? ”

Bao Dan shook his head with a dark expression, and said in a low voice: "Even if we surrender, we will inevitably die." You're right, let's gamble our lives. ”

"Pass the order, if you want to return to Jixian alive, speed up." Zhang Bao shouted at the herald.
