Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1863 Muddy Road
Chapter 1861: Muddy Road
"Forget it, the military adviser will make such an arrangement, he must have his own intentions, we just need to obey orders." Long Qi said.

After several reversals and being slapped in the face, Long Qi, whose face still hurts until now, decided to trust Zhuge Liang unconditionally.

All military divisions' decisions are unconditionally supported.

All the orders of the military division are obeyed unconditionally.

Surely this way you won't be slapped in the face again, right?
As soon as Long Qie set off at [-] paces, Gongsun Xuanyuan in the northeast also received a letter from Ye Qingmei.

Without any hesitation, Gongsun Xuanyuan decisively ordered [-] troops to pursue at full speed, so the army that chased after Cheng did not know it rose from [-] to a full [-] troops.

The two armies of Long Qie and Gongsun Xuanyuan, one is chasing from the northeast to the west, and the other is from the southeast to the west. Although the coalition forces have not joined forces, they are chasing in the same direction. They are both Yuyang, which is heading west. county.

The two armies even chased for ten miles but still failed to catch up, and just when Long Qie and Gongsun Xuanyuan felt that it was impossible to catch up and that Cheng Bushi would definitely be eaten by the ambush, a piece of news from the front changed their views .

Not all the roads in Youbeiping have been repaired, and because of the heavy rain, the road leading to the middle section of Yuyang County has obviously become extremely muddy.

Before escaping to the middle road, the main road that Cheng Bushi took was repaired by the Han army. Even after heavy rain, it was still feasible and easy to pass, so Cheng Bushi's withdrawal speed was naturally fast.

But when the Han army reached the middle of the road, the road was muddy and difficult to pass, so the marching speed naturally slowed down, and it took two days to walk one day.

At this time, Long Qie and Gongsun Xuanyuan finally understood Zhuge Liang's intention to let them chase the Han army.

After the Han army entered the quagmire, their marching speed would be halved directly, and they would naturally be the same.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang asked them to lead the army to chase, not to catch up with the Han army at all, but to have other intentions.

Both Long Qi and Gongsun Xuanyuan were famous generals in the world, and they quickly guessed Zhuge Liang's real intentions.

Cheng Bushi's troops left the city in a hurry, and they didn't carry much food and grass, which was only enough for a few days at most, and it was impossible to reach Yuyang County at all when the marching speed was halved.

The food and grass of the Han army will be exhausted halfway. In order to ensure that they can reach Yuyang, they can only give up part of the army to ensure the normal supply of food and grass.

Therefore, Cheng Bushi's [-] troops will be fewer and fewer during the march, and they only need to follow behind, and they can capture a large number of prisoners of war without even going to war.

"hiss……"

At this thought, both Long Qi and Gongsun Xuanyuan gasped, this is the rhythm of defeating others without fighting!
As they expected, in the next two days, the Han army and the Liao army encountered several groups of stragglers during the march. They were all Han army soldiers who were left behind by Cheng Bushi.

Most of these Han soldiers showed hunger, were weak on an empty stomach, and had little combat power.

After seeing the Qin army and the Liao army, these soldiers not only did not panic, but showed rescued expressions, they all threw away their weapons and surrendered to Long Qie and Gongsun Xuanyuan.

There is no way to surrender. After all, there is no food. In this wilderness, it is a matter of time to starve to death, and if you surrender as a prisoner, you will at least have a bite to eat.

Better to live than to die!
In this way, the two armies of Long Qie and Gongsun Xuanyuan captured about [-] Han troops without a single soldier.

"This Zhuge Kongming really lives up to his reputation, he is really powerful."

Gongsun Xuanyuan sighed lightly, and then remembered the idea of ​​marriage that Zhuge Liang had mentioned in his letter.

With Gongsun Xuanyuan's 96-point political attributes, it is not difficult to see that Zhuge Liang's proposal, called marriage, was actually a means to annex the Liao army.

Gongsun Xuanyuan knew this clearly, but he couldn't refuse, because marrying Qin Hao would be beneficial to both himself and the Liao army.

Although Gongsun Xuanyuan's ambition has not been extinguished, he also knows that in the current situation he is in, it is almost impossible to continue to fight for hegemony.

If he was alone, he might lead thousands of remnants into foreign lands like Wang Mang, and seal the lands.

But Gongsun Xuanyuan is not alone. Behind him is the Gongsun family, his own wife and children, and a large number of subordinates who depend on him for a living, so he can't be selfish and only think about himself.

"Marriage may also be a way out."

Gongsun Xuanyuan secretly said in his heart that he admired Qin Hao very much, so even if he knew that the purpose of the marriage was not pure, he still did not dislike Qin Hao as his brother-in-law.

Gongsun Xuanyuan was worrying about gains and losses for the future, while Cheng Bushi realized what true despair is.

When Cheng Bushi ordered the withdrawal, he did not expect that the road leading to Yuyang would become muddy due to the heavy rain, so that the marching speed would be greatly reduced.

The Han army didn't carry much food and grass. If they save some food, they can still survive to Yuyang County.

But because of the heavy rain, the road became muddy and difficult to walk, and it took two days to walk a day's journey, but the appetite of the soldiers did not decrease, so the food and grass in the army were naturally not enough.

Seeing that the food was about to run out, and the distance to Yuyang was still far away, Cheng Bushi was extremely anxious.

After a series of ideological struggles, Cheng Bushi finally made up his mind. Before the army was in chaos due to lack of food, he abandoned the [-] army and only led the remaining [-] elites back to Yuyang.

For Cheng Bushi, abandoning the army and fleeing was undoubtedly a difficult decision, but if he did not abandon the 8000 troops, even the [-] people would not be able to go back, so Cheng Bushi had no other choice at all.

But what made Cheng Bushi feel even more desperate was that when he finally made up his mind and abandoned the entire [-] army, and when he got out of the quagmire and was about to enter Yuyang County, he found that the way forward was blocked by the Qin army.

Cheng Bushi didn't know that this army was Zhuge Liang's subordinates, nor did he know that the main force of the Qin army in his eyes was only Zhuge Liang's suspects. He thought that the Qin army in front of him came from Xu Wu's side.

The road ahead is blocked, there are pursuers behind, and our own army is exhausted, and there is not much combat power at all.

This is a situation of ten deaths and no life!
"Cheng Bushi, my army division has already set up ambushes on the two roads leading to Yuyang. No matter which one you take, you are doomed to escape back to Yuyang."

Yuexi rode his horse to the front of the army, and pointed the spear in his hand, but he didn't recognize Cheng, and said coldly: "You have no way to escape, get off your horse and surrender quickly."

"what?"

Cheng Bushi's eyes widened, as if he realized something.

Trap, all of this is a trap, I have been played by Zhuge Liang from the beginning to the end.

"puff……"

Cheng Bushi, who was extremely ashamed and angry, was so angry that he vomited blood and fell off the horse.

　At the second watch, six chapters are still owed.
