The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 909 Pursuit (4000 words)
At night, beside the Baishui River, there are flowing streams.

The temporary garrison of Qu Yi's army is temporarily settled here.

Beside the lit bonfire, the soldiers were chewing dry pancakes, their heads drooping, and many of them were hung with bandages.Their faces were full of disappointment, and they looked extremely listless.

It's no wonder that after losing more than a dozen rounds in a row, no matter how high the morale is, it will fall to the bottom.

The mood of the soldiers is like tonight's night, there is no moon and stars, it is pitch black, and there is no light or hope.

The soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the military lords and school lieutenants above were also unhappy.They would admit defeat if they fought with real swords and guns, but soon after each confrontation, the chief general Qu Yi ordered to retreat, which made them suffocate their anger.

In the main tent, all the school lieutenants gathered here.

As the chief general, Qu Yi was sitting in his seat at the moment, drinking the steaming wheat noodle soup with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"After so many defeats, it's thanks to him that he can still bear it." A school lieutenant muttered in a rather dissatisfied tone.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you, or we'll be scolded again..."

"The general is really blind. I really don't agree with sending such a coward to lead the army!"

"Who says it's not? He doesn't have any manliness all over his body! Apart from telling us to retreat, and only eat, drink and scatter, what else can he do!"

"If you ask me, General Huang should have hacked him to death with a single knife, so as not to embarrass himself in front of the enemy."

The lieutenants lowered their voices below, communicating in extremely low voices, their tone full of dissatisfaction.

After eating the noodles, he drank all the soup in the bowl.

Qu Yi put down his chopsticks, stroked his belly, feeling satisfied.

Afterwards, he glanced at the people in the tent, and asked with a smile: "Everyone, have you eaten?"

The lieutenants didn't respond. These days they have lost countless battles, and they are full of gas. Who is in the mood to eat this.

"General, do you know how many days we have enough food and grass for our army?" The school officer in charge of logistics food and grass asked angrily.

Hearing this question, Qu Yi was immediately amused, "Lieutenant Fan, you are in charge of logistics, how much food is left, why do you ask this general, don't you know?"

"Our food and grass are almost exhausted, and we can last for five days at most." Fan Xiaowei said loudly, his voice was loud, as if he wanted to announce the news to the world.

"How could this happen?" The rest of the captains were stunned. It was at least half a month away from Puyang. If the food and grass were gone, how could the soldiers fight when they were hungry?

"Fleeing and fleeing every day, we have almost become frightened birds. We left a lot of logistics supplies for nothing, and gave them to the enemy at a low price." Fan Xiaowei was full of frustration.

No matter how you think about such a thing of harming yourself and benefiting the enemy, you feel that blood loss is not profitable.

"Since Lieutenant Fan made the move, I beg the general to forgive me for being so humble. Tell us a good word. Where are we going to return? Is it Puyang, the county town, or Juyang, where the general is?" Another lieutenant stood up. , clasped fists towards Koji.

"Please show me the general!"

Seeing this situation, the rest of the captains in the tent also clasped their fists, asking Qu Yi to give a definite answer.

The captains were full of aggrieved, Qu Yi didn't hide it from them at this time. In order to avoid leaking the news, he didn't tell anyone about his plan, including the most trusted Zhang He.

Now is also the time.

"I don't care about the small size. Chunyu Kun once said to King Wei of Qi: "There is a big bird in the country, which stops in the king's court. It doesn't sing or sing for three years. What does the king know about this bird?" The king said: "This bird doesn't If it flies, it will soar into the sky; if it does not sing, it will be a blockbuster.' The same is true of this general, if I make a move, we will make great achievements!"

Qu Yi raised his brows horizontally and spoke with confidence. He looked at the generals and shouted: "All generals obey orders!"

The school captains were shaken when they heard the roar. For some reason, Qu Yi at this time actually made them feel an inexplicable sense of security, and they apologized in unison and replied: "The end is here!"

Qu Yi then revealed the plan to everyone. After listening to the captains, although they were a bit skeptical about the feasibility of the plan, they all nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, under Qu Yi's waving signal, everyone exited the camp and got busy with their own work according to the plan.

…………

At the same time, the Hebei army was stationed in the camp.

In the general's tent where Yan Liang was, there were bursts of low growls.

The soldiers patrolling outside have long been accustomed to this, because every time they win a battle, the chief general Yan Liang almost quarrels with Jushou, who joined the army.

"I really don't know, what are you afraid of!"

In the camp, Yan Liang, who took off his armor, blushed and stared at the middle-aged scribe in front of him with a pair of big eyes, obviously very angry.

Although he has won many battles and victories since he went south to attack Qu Yi, but in Yan Liang's heart, he has always been very unhappy.

Why?

Because whenever he pursues the enemy, Ju Shou, who is accompanying him in the army, will always jump out and stop him from continuing to pursue.It's fine once or twice, but the problem is that Ju Shou is so messed up every time, and with Yan Liang's violent temper, if Ju Shou hadn't won the trust of the lord, he would have chopped him down with a knife.

Today is also the case, Qu Yi's army's morale is obviously extremely low, and it looks like they will be able to catch them all in one go, but Ju Shou refuses to let them pursue him, Yan Liang's lungs are about to explode.

"General Yan Liang, it's not that I don't want you to chase after me, but that the enemy has clearly set up a trap to lure the enemy into the depths. You must never rush into battle. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in all battles. It's better to be cautious in everything."

Ju Shou patiently analyzed the situation with Yan Liang carefully.

But Yan Liang was in a fit of anger at this time, so he couldn't hear it, and even yelled at Jushou: "Be cautious, you know how to be cautious! If you are as timid as you are in war, afraid of this and that, then hit a hammer! "

"General Yan, Qu Yi is not an ordinary person."

Jushou is earnest, although he is also very angry in his heart, he is brave and foolish, and simple-minded.If it weren't for the sake of the overall situation, Ju Shou would have slapped his ass and left long ago, so why would he have such a nice discussion with him.

Ju Shou and Qu Yi were old acquaintances, they worked together under Jizhou Mu Han Fu, and later joined Yuan Shao's command.

Qu Yi is extremely good at the art of war, and he is an absolute commander.

Take the Battle of Jieqiao as an example. Yuan Shao saw that his defeat was imminent, so he relied on Qu Yi to lead his army to reinforce him in time, and ambushed Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong on the way, killing nearly half of them, severely damaging the morale of the Youzhou army, and made him The situation of the battle was abruptly reversed.

Ju Shou knew what Qu Yi was capable of.

However, it is such a military commander who has been defeated by Yan Liang.

is it possible?

Obviously not possible!
Therefore, Jushou has always been on guard.

"Not an ordinary person?"

Hearing Jushou's evaluation, Yan Liang looked extremely disdainful, and his attitude towards Jushou became more and more indifferent: "You are not an ordinary person, and you are beaten to the crap by me? With all due respect, Qu Yi is a piece of scum!"

Although Yan Liang and Qu Yi were important generals under Yuan Shao's command in the past, they actually had very little contact with each other, and they didn't even have many opportunities to meet each other.It's not Yan Liang's reason, but Qu Yi's unpleasant speech, which not only offended many colleagues, even the lord Yuan Shao was no exception.

Yuan Shao didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly put small shoes on Qu Yi and adjusted them far away so as not to be annoying.

"General, don't underestimate Qu Yi. Didn't you realize that Qu Yi's crossbow battalion has never appeared on the battlefield these days, not even once."

Ju Shou reminded, his eyes were full of seriousness.

The strong crossbowmen trained by Qu Yi are extremely lethal, enough to penetrate the armor of ordinary generals, let alone the weak defense of soldiers.

"Let me tell you, you literati, how dare you have the courage of a mouse! Oh, he has a crossbowman, so I don't have one? I'm the one who charged, not you. You're always afraid of this and that. Is it interesting?"

Yan Lianghun didn't care, and didn't take it to heart at all.

"I……"

"Okay, don't talk about it. I know, you are afraid that I will take the lead and not ask you for a reward from the lord? I, Yan Liang, are not that kind of person, but can you stop holding me back, let's work together, Take down the thief, Qu Yi, and report the joy to the Lord, okay?"

Yan Liang suppressed the resentment in his chest, changed his tone, and put on a very magnanimous appearance regardless of previous suspicions.

Encountering such an unreasonable reckless man, Ju Shou only felt that his head hurt so badly that he really couldn't say anything.He sighed and was about to leave the tent, but at this moment he suddenly heard the urgent call of the soldiers outside the tent.

report~~~
"General, the villain has something important to report."

Yan Liang sat back and said, "Come in."

The scout entered the account and reported to Yan Liang: "General, the second team of scouts found that the enemy is moving camp, and they seem to want to run away overnight."

"Well, you Qu Yi, you actually want to sneak away at night!"

Hearing the news, Yan Liang suddenly stood up with a determined expression.

This time, Qu Yi must not be allowed to escape again!

"Pass down the order, immediately gather all the soldiers, light the torches, and follow the general in pursuit, this time we will definitely wipe out the bandit army!" Yan Liang mouthed the order, and he himself took off his armor in the tent and began to put it on.

Seeing that Yan Liang was really going to send troops, Ju Shou trembled inexplicably. He didn't care whether Yan Liang wanted to hear it or not, so he tried to persuade him again: "General, it's really not suitable to send troops tonight. Qu Yi's retreat at this time may be deliberate. To lure the general into being fooled, the general must think twice!"

"It's just nonsense. There is not a single mountain in a hundred miles. Where can he set up an ambush! I can catch up to them even in the dark!"

"General..." Ju Shou wanted to say more.

Bang!

Yan Liang picked up the porcelain cup on the desk and threw it on the ground with a loud bang.

Yan Liang was tired of listening to these words, and also tired of hearing them.

In a short while, the Hebei army was assembled.

Well-dressed Yan Liang walked out of the tent, his own soldiers brought him a horse, and Yan Liang turned on his back.

At this time, Ju Shou came running again, and even stopped Yan Liang's horse, begging bitterly: "General, don't rush in! If you insist on chasing, just send General Jiao to lead the troops. There won't be much loss."

"If I don't go there in person, who will fight to the death?" Yan Liang asked.

"But if something happens to the general, our army will die!"

"Hahaha……"

Yan Liang was stunned, and then he seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and couldn't help laughing, his words were full of conceit and arrogance: "Just ask the world, who can hurt me except Lu Bu! Qu Yi? Zhang Yun? Or him? The gang of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his hands? As far as I can see, you are a fool!"

"General, don't underestimate it!"

The more indifferent Yan Liang was, the more worried Ju Shou was.

Yan Liang was tired of hearing this, he was not in the mood to talk to Jushou here in vain, seeing that Jushou kept blocking his way, Yan Liang shouted coldly: Get out!

Jushou refused, even admonishing him with death: "The general insists on going, then please step over Jushou's corpse!"

Jushou was Yuan Shao's confidant and adviser. Even though Yan Liang was Yuan Shao's favorite general, he would not dare to execute Jushou without authorization, but he was already tired of this man, so he called his soldiers: "Come here, Jushou's demonic words will confuse the people and disturb our army's morale. Immediately send him to the army." I'm tied! I'll punish General Ben when he returns in triumph!"

Several soldiers stepped forward immediately, and indeed tied Jushou, and pulled him aside.

"Yan Liang, man!"

"If you don't listen to me today, you will die at the hands of Qu Yi!"

Not to mention being a donkey with good intentions, Yan Liang actually dared to ask the soldiers to tie him up, and Ju Shou also exploded.

"Gag him too, and throw him into the camp. Without my order, who dares to untie him, cut him off!"

Hearing Yan Liang's order, the soldiers dared not disobey, said "I'm sorry" to Jushou, picked up the cloth towel and stuffed it roughly into Jushou's mouth.

Jushou, who was yelling at him, could only whimper, but could not speak any more.

Without Jushou's nagging, Yan Liang immediately felt his ears became much cleaner. He looked into the dark distance, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Boys, let's go!"

…………

Along the banks of the Baishui River, under the dark night sky, many torches were lit.

A team of about [-] people is slowly moving forward under the light of the fire.

Zhang He rode behind Qu Yi, his heroic eyebrows furrowed slightly.Although Qu Yi has made a perfect plan, Yan Liang is the only uncertain factor.

If he doesn't come, then tonight's plan will be in vain.

"General, do you think Yan Liang will come after you?" Zhang He finally couldn't help asking.

Qu Yi was riding on the horse, seeing that Zhang Xi, who had always been calm, was in doubt, so he smiled and talked to him: "Yan Liang is quick-tempered and has a bad temper. Although he won more than ten games in a row, he won't even beat a high-ranking officer. None of them were able to win, which is undoubtedly a spiritual shame for Yan Liang, who is known for his bravery. Judging from the fighting situation in recent days, Yan Liang's charge has become more and more reckless, and he looks at me as if he can't see He is like a mortal enemy, wishing to eat me alive. Now, if he finds out that I escaped under his nose, even if he doesn't sleep tonight, he will fight me to the end."

Sure enough, as soon as Qu Yi's words fell, scouts following him rushed over.

"General, the Hebei army is almost dispatched and is coming towards us!"

Hearing the news, Zhang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on Qu Yi's face was even bigger.
