Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1873
Chapter 1871: True and False
Not only did Su Dingfang stop the attack on Yuyang, but he also transferred back Sun Lingming who had attacked Junping City. These unreasonable signs also made Li Guang in Yuyang City puzzled.

You know, among the four armies of the Qin Army, except for Bai Qi, who fought steadily and without any impatience, the other three offensives were very fierce. Obviously, they all wanted to be the first to invade Guangyang County and occupy the Han Dynasty. head work.

Among the current four armies, the one closest to Yanjing City is Su Dingfang's troops. As long as they capture the last four cities in Yuyang County, they can successfully enter Guangyang County and then attack Yanjing City.

But at this last moment, Su Dingfang stopped attacking, which is obviously very unreasonable.

Do you want to say that the Qin army is not strong enough to capture Yuyang City?

But Li Lingming only defeated Sun Lingming a little, and the casualties of more than [-] people were just a drop in the bucket for the Qin army, and there was no problem of insufficient troops at all.

Then why did the Qin army stop attacking?

Li Guang was also very puzzled by this, but what is certain is that Su Dingfang must be brewing a bigger conspiracy.

"Father, you are worrying too much. Maybe Su Lie knew that he would not be able to capture Yuyang City, so maybe he retreated and recuperated." Li Guang's son Li Gan said with a smile.

The seriousness in Li Guang's eyes did not diminish in the slightest, and he said in a deep voice, "I hope it is too much to worry about as a father, but when Su Lie retreated, the morale of the Qin army was still strong, and the order of the army was shocking. Obviously, there is still room left. It's not a state of weakness."

"Then what is the reason for Su Lie's retreat?" Li Gan asked doubtfully.

"Ugh."

Li Guang sighed and said, "I also want to know as a father."

In fact, Li Guang was opposed to the task of guarding Yuyang County from the very beginning, because he knew that he and Su Dingfang were not in the same weight class at all.

Who is Su Dingfang?

He is a famous general who has been famous for a long time, and he has rarely been defeated in all directions. Even among the Qin army, he is one of the top few existences.

He, Li Guang, was just a fierce general. Before that, he didn't even have a few chances to lead the army alone.

Therefore, facing a strong opponent like Su Dingfang, Li Guang, who has self-knowledge, will naturally feel guilty.

Li Guang was afraid that he would disappoint Liu Che's expectations, but at this time, no one in the Han army was qualified to guard a county alone except him, so even if it was to drive ducks to the shelves, Li Guang could only bite the bullet.

The result was as Li Guang expected, even though he was extremely cautious, he had been losing battles for half a month with Su Lie, retreating from the south of Yuyang to the center, and now retreating to Yuyang City in the north.

Of the original [-] troops, there were only [-] left. Although the casualties were not too large, the morale dropped sharply.

If Li Ling hadn't defeated Sun Lingming in Junping and boosted the morale of the Han army, Li Guang would not have the confidence to persevere.

Li Guang seemed to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was forced to a dead end. He had no other way to retreat except to stick to Yuyang City, because if he retreated, he could only retreat to Yanjing.

In this regard, Li Guang felt physically and mentally exhausted, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Guang thought of his old friend Zhou Yafu. If Zhou Yafu had not been captured alive by Li Jing after his defeat in Qingzhou, but escaped back, the person in charge of guarding Yuyang now must be him, not Li Guang who drove the ducks to the shelves.

"Brother Zhou, if it were you, what would you do?"

Li Guang muttered to himself, but his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of any other way except to defend the city.

"Report... General Qi, General Tian Yu has sent news that there is a movement of the Qin army."

"Bring it up."

"promise."

Li Guang took it apart and took a look, at first he didn't pay much attention, but the more he saw the back, the more frightened he became.

"Su Dingfang sent a large number of spies to Yanshan, what is he going to do?"

Li Guang frowned, and then seemed to remember something, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Could it be that you are looking for a mountain road that bypasses Yuyang County and goes directly to Yanjing?"

"Father, no one is more familiar with the terrain of Yuyang than us. How can there be a road that bypasses Yuyang and leads directly to Yanjing?"

Li Gan looked indifferent, and said: "Baby, in my opinion, Su Dingfang is just playing tricks, the purpose is to arouse panic in our army and lead our army out of the city to fight."

Hearing Li Gan's words, Li Guang's complexion improved a lot, but it was still very ugly, the word puzzled was almost written on his face.

"Dare, are you sure that there is no other path in Yanshan that leads directly to Yanjing?" Li Guang asked.

"This...although my child has entered Yanshan Mountain, I can't be sure, but as long as I find a local hunter and ask, I should be able to be sure."

Hearing this, Li Guang nodded: "In that case, Dare, I will leave this matter to you."

"promise."

After Li Gan got the order, he went directly to hundreds of Yanshan hunters and questioned them one by one.

The vast majority of hunters said that they had never heard of this road, but there were also two or three that said that there seemed to be such a road, but no one walked it for too long, and it is now deserted.

After hearing these ambiguous answers, Li Guang and Li Gan father and son looked at each other, realizing the seriousness of the problem.
It would be best if there is no such road, but if there is such a road, even if it has been abandoned, it is still a bad news for the Han army.

This means that the Qin army can bypass Yuyang City and go directly to attack Yanjing City, and there is no point in defending Yuyang City.

Although most hunters said no, it is more likely that this road does not exist, but a few people said yes, which means that this road may exist.

In the current situation, the worst thing is not knowing the truth, because Li Guang no longer has the capital to gamble.

"Father, what should we do now?" Li Gan asked.

"Send all the spies out, and we must find this way before the Qin army." Li Guang gritted his teeth.

Now the situation is even more unfavorable to the Han army. Once the Qin army finds it in front of him, the entire Yuyang defense line will lose its meaning.

Therefore, Li Guang had to be ahead of the Qin army, find this path leading directly to Yanjing, and then send troops to seize the main road and garrison it.

Given the steep terrain of Yanshan Mountain, if the Han army could set up camp smoothly, only [-] defenders would be needed to completely block this road.

Hundreds of spies from the Han army searched for three days in a row, but they still couldn't find it, and the search of the Qin army continued.

"Report... General Qi, Su Dingfang personally led an army of [-], and disappeared after leaving Lu County for [-] miles."

"what?"

Li Guang cried out in shock, then grabbed the spy by the collar, and asked: "[-] troops, so many people, such a big movement, how could it be possible to suddenly disappear?"
