Mixed martial arts: I am the best in the world

Chapter 685
At the end of Jindi Pass, Zhu Shou and Li Dongyang said goodbye.

"Your Majesty, although our army has won, the enemy's troops and horses have not actually lost much. The main force is still there. Li Shimin has a deep scheming mind, and the evil emperor Xiang Yutian has even more treacherous methods. When your Majesty marches, be sure to cautious."

Li Dongyang is still a little worried.

"Sir, don't worry. Even if the other side really has some plot, I'm not afraid. The enemy's morale is low and they are no longer able to fight a decisive battle with our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Shou comforted him.

Li Dongyang nodded, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li Ge. What the king said makes sense. Even if there is any conspiracy, Li Shimin can't make any big splash in the face of absolute strength. Lang Fanyun and Song Que, two acquired third-level masters, are guarding him. , The world is so big, there are very few people who can hurt the king." Zhang Taiyue comforted him.

Li Dongyang nodded, but there was still a look of worry between his brows.

"Your Majesty, Taiyin Hou sent someone to send news that the enemy's corpse was found on the roadside ahead."

Cao Zhengchun came on flying horse and said loudly.

"Corpse? Is it the corpse of a wounded soldier?" Zhu Shou was stunned after hearing this, but he was not surprised and said: "Send the order and ask the forward soldiers to bury the corpse on the spot to prevent it from being exposed in the wilderness."

"Your Majesty, shouldn't we hurry up and pursue him at this time?" Shen Luoyan was very curious.

"Wherever Gu's soldiers and horses go, there are Gu's people. In this case, how can we let Gu's people expose their corpses in the wilderness?" Zhu Shou shook his head and said: "Moreover, by burying the corpses now, we can also avoid the plague, killing two birds with one stone. "

"Your Majesty is merciful." Shen Luoyan nodded repeatedly, and the concubine Xuan on the side showed a strange look on her face after hearing this.

After advancing for several miles, news came again from the front.
"Your Majesty, Taiyin Marquis sent someone to report that the enemy's wounded soldiers were found in front."

"However, Taiyin Hou did not deal with it. He just asked them to stay where they were and wait for the king's decision."

"Junior sister, they all say that Li Shimin is kind, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. Although these wounded soldiers are of little use, they have served for him at least, and they are just thrown away like this? It is really cruel."

Shen Luoyan said sarcastically.

"It must not have been the order given by the Marquis of Qin, it must have been done by the Evil Emperor." Master Fei Xuan said with a straight face.

Zhu Shou was still a little skeptical at first, but after hearing the concubine's remarks, he nodded.

"Li Shimin is a person who cherishes his reputation. This kind of thing is indeed not his handiwork, but it is possible that the evil emperor could have done it." Zhu Shou also believed that this matter had nothing to do with Li Shimin.

"Hmph, I think that Li Shimin may be opposed on the surface, but in fact, he is still very happy in his heart. After all, this move has reduced his wounded soldiers and greatly increased his combat effectiveness."

Shen Luoyan just didn't like people like Li Shimin. He thought that although the other party was opposed to this matter on the surface, in fact, he must have secretly agreed to it in order to reduce the burden on the army.

Zhu Shou also said: "Regardless of whether the opponent is alive or not, abandoning the wounded soldiers at this time shows that the opponent's military morale has been affected to a certain extent. Li Shimin is eager to escape!" "So our pursuit at this time is very timely, absolutely We cannot let him escape to Hulao Pass. It will not be easy to attack again at that time." Shen Luo Yanfeng's eyes flashed.

Zhu Shou nodded after hearing this. This was also the reason why he took the opportunity to pursue Li Shimin. A defeated general was in panic all day long. His soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the general had no fighting spirit. If he did not attack at this time, would he still have a fortified city after the opponent finished recuperating? Attack while defending?

"Has Taiyin Hou already caught up with him?" Zhu Shou casually ordered: "Let Kou Zhong be careful when pursuing. Li Shimin is a difficult person to offend. Although the opponent is retreating, he may not be unprepared. Let's pursue the enemy. , but we can’t let the enemy take a bite.”

"What the king said is true. Although Li Shimin is retreating, I think that the other party will definitely leave a force to cut off the rear." Shen Luoyan was not worried, but said: "However, in front of Taiyin Hou, these Men and horses are nothing, we can defeat the enemy quickly."

"Then Li Shimin only wanted to fight Gu, but he never thought that now he was not looking for Gu to fight, but Gu was chasing him." Zhu Shou said proudly, holding a riding whip.

"In a great battle, he suffered countless casualties. His military morale has become decadent and he does not dare to become an enemy of our army." Shen Luoyan looked relaxed.Then he shook his head and said: "However, according to my understanding of him, the lost troops may not be Li's troops, but probably Dou Jiande's troops."

"Yes, Li Shimin is a person who is hard to lose. Most of those troops should be Dou Jiande's troops. Hey!" Zhu Shou suddenly thought of something, raised the whip in his hand, and looked stern.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Shen Luoyan couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhu Shou stopped.

"Hey, you just reminded me that Xu Shiji's 40 troops were cannon fodder. The men and horses abandoned by Dou Jiande. Even Xu Shiji was thrown out by Dou Jiande. The 40 men and women who attacked Jindi Pass were the same. , which shows that Li Shimin’s troops did not suffer any losses!”

"Since there is no loss and the troops are far superior to ours, why should we withdraw? He has enough food and grass. At worst, he will block us at Jindi Pass. Why should he risk his retreat?"

"He originally wanted to kill me with a million troops, but I told him that if he wanted a decisive battle, it would be at Jindi Pass, so he came, so he failed, and now he suddenly withdrew, what do you mean? Any problem?"

Zhu Shou analyzed.

"What does the king mean, is Li Shimin doing all this deliberately to lure us out of Jindi Pass?" Lang Fanyun suddenly exclaimed.

"This possibility is very high. Moreover, the other party seems to have succeeded."

Zhu Shou looked at Shi Fei Xuan coldly and said: "I had some doubts just now that Li Shimin would not abandon the wounded soldiers, but later, you said that this was the work of the evil emperor, and Gu Ye agreed with your point of view . Now it seems that this was done deliberately by Li Shimin, just to lure me into being fooled."

"Your Majesty, why don't we withdraw from the battle now? The other party's conspiracy will not succeed." Shen Luoyan said without hesitation.

"If we withdraw, there will naturally be no problem, but Kou Zhong and the others in the vanguard will be in danger." Zhu Shou shook his head.

He is now sure that everything is a conspiracy, and the forward must be under siege, and there are even enemies on both sides of him. Withdrawing now will only put the forward into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, for the sake of caution, I divided my troops into two groups, ten miles apart, so that the army still had a glimmer of hope.
