The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 973

"In terms of strength, the two sides are almost the same, and it is difficult to eat each other in one bite." Liu Chan looked at the map and said without raising his head, "If General Lu and the others break through, and Cao Wei's army takes advantage of the victory to pursue them, we can take advantage of the victory and pursue them. Suddenly launched an attack on them on the road; if General Lu is still trapped in Luoyuan, my fourth uncle's troops will rush over as fast as possible. Then, at that time, I am afraid that it will be our side that launches a surprise attack on Cao Wei's army! "

Zhao Feng nodded, and said hopefully, "It's best if they catch up, and we can beat them hard."

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, especially in places like Yongliang where cavalry can decide the final victory and defeat, the changes in the battle situation are extremely fast. It becomes ineffective. This is the huge difference between the Yongliang battlefield and the Jiangdong battlefield, and it is also one of the lessons we should learn in the future."

Zhao Feng bowed his hands to Liu Chan and said, "The final general will follow your Majesty's instructions."

Liu Chan nodded, and said, "Now go and send an order to the imperial guards to let everyone speed up and move forward as fast as possible! Maybe it will only take two days to completely defeat Cao Weijun!"

An hour later, Liu Chan received the latest news: General Lu Xun and his troops had broken through, and Cao Wei's army followed closely behind, chasing them all the way.

Liu Chan was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing: "Su Ze is not as calm as Zhang Ji after all, I just wait for them to come here!"

Zhao Feng asked the scout captain, "How far is Lu Xun's men from General Zhao's men at this time?"

The scout captain immediately replied: "There are about thirty or forty miles left, and General Lu's troops will be able to join General Zhao Yun's troops in the afternoon."

Liu Chan nodded and asked with a smile, "How many troops does General Lu have?"

The captain of the scout replied: "According to the information, during yesterday's night attack on Luoyuan, because the enemy's actions were discovered in advance, and General Lu Xun was elected as the commander in chief, with the close cooperation of the generals, the loss was not too great. "

Hearing this, Liu Chan frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Feng: "Pass my order to General Zhao and ask him to send out a small number of troops to cover General Lu Xun and their troops to continue to retreat. Remember, the cavalry should not Press them all up! Let him bring most of the cavalry back to join us."

Just now Zhao Feng wanted to ask Liu Chan why he did this, but Liu Chan had already started to issue the second order: "Then, pass my order to the imperial guards, and let the troops turn back immediately."

Zhao Feng couldn't help but wondered: "Your Majesty, are you saying that you want the imperial guards to turn back? Are we not going to fight Cao Wei's army?"

Liu Chan said firmly: "Fight, of course we have to fight, and it is better to fight until the enemy is covered in cuts and bruises, and even paralyzed! We are now supported by a large number of Qianghu cavalry. The enemy must not know about this. This is something we can use. Once my fourth uncle's cavalry rushed up like this, Cao Wei's army must have quickly realized that something was wrong, turned around and fled. Ordered the troops to turn around and rush to set up an ambush near Yushan. When I passed by just now, I saw the terrain there Not bad, suitable for an ambush."

Zhao Feng looked at Liu Chan in disbelief, His Majesty always has such a calm mind when facing things!

Zhao Feng immediately ordered someone to report Liu Chan's two orders to the herald.

However, Zhao Feng still had doubts, and asked Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, if you set up an ambush in Yushan, the time seems a bit too hasty. Moreover, the number of enemy pursuers is definitely quite large, and it is not easy to eat them like this." things."

Liu Chan nodded and said with a smile, "Your statement cannot be said to be unreasonable. Then, you can help me send an order to General Lu Xun and the others, so that they must organize more troops to stop the enemy along the way while retreating. Yushan set up an ambush to buy enough time. As for Cao Wei's army, as long as the enemy is tired from running all the way, it will be easy to fight."

Zhao Feng immediately took the order and left.

Soon, the Imperial Guards began to turn around and head towards Yushan.

Then, just a few quarters of an hour later, Zhiyuanduo and Yijianda followed Zhao Yun's order and led a cavalry team of more than 8000 people to catch up with Liu Chan's imperial guards, and the two armies reunited Together.

Liu Chan didn't see Zhao Yun coming back, so he only found out after asking that Zhao Yun personally participated in the rear of the cavalry team, and now he is in front to stop the pursuit of Cao Wei's army.

Zhao Yun's martial arts were so powerful that Liu Chan could no longer imagine who could hurt Zhao Yun.Therefore, at this time, he will not be worried about Zhao Yun's personal safety like he is worried about other generals going to battle to kill the enemy himself.

Therefore, Liu Chan immediately asked Zhi Yuanduo to lead the cavalry to overtake the front of the imperial guards, and enter Yushan first to ambush.The terrain of Yushan is gentle, and the rolling hills are not big, but the forest on the mountain is very dense, so it is really suitable for hiding the army.

Yijianda was sitting on the horse right now, looking behind him anxiously. Zhi Yuanduo went to see Liu Chan, but he hasn't come back yet.

However, soon, Yijianda saw Zhi Yuanduo coming with a few guards and flying horses from a distance.

Yijian Da rushed forward and asked loudly: "Uncle, what does Your Majesty say? What should we do next?"

Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really extraordinary. He planned an ambush this time. Your Majesty wants our cavalry to overtake the front of the imperial guards and enter Yushan to hide first. Your Majesty has ordered General Zhao Yun and General Lu Xun organized troops to stop Cao Wei's pursuit while they were retreating, so we should have plenty of time to prepare!"

Yijianda nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, Your Majesty's strategy is very good. In fact, when His Majesty ordered our cavalry to turn around and come back to meet up, I knew that His Majesty Li was about to attack Cao Wei's ambush."

A bright smile appeared on Zhiyuando's face. Now he likes the kid Igenda more and more to call himself uncle.

Zhi Yuanduo said appreciatively: "Very good. We can indeed learn a lot from His Majesty. At least war is no longer relying solely on force, but wisdom and careful planning are needed. Although Your Majesty is still young, , but they must know much more than we do!"

Igenda nodded convincingly, indicating that he has been taught.Then, he asked about the military situation ahead.

Zhi Yuanduo turned his head and looked behind him. There were yellowish smoke floating in the air in some places. It must be that General Lu Xun and his troops were rushing here.

Zhiyuan said in a more relaxed tone, and said: "The vanguard of General Lu Xun's troops should be able to rush over to join His Majesty soon. Although they were attacked in Luoyuan last night, they are still being chased by Cao Weijun all the way. They came here to kill, but the loss is actually not that big. Therefore, when your Majesty sees General Lu Xun, he will definitely ask General Lu Xun to command the army and launch a counterattack against Cao Wei's pursuers."

Yijian Da nodded in agreement and said, "General Lu's troops have not lost much. As long as the vanguard troops can regroup in Yushan, of course they can participate in the counterattack against Cao Wei's army."

Zhiyuan nodded with deep sympathy, and said: "At that time, our cavalry team will also have its own special mission to quickly cut off Cao Wei's army and divide them into two. Then, we will cut off the enemy's retreat and prevent the enemy from breaking through. Escape, on the other hand, may have to cooperate with the imperial guards to prevent the rescue of the follow-up troops of the Cao Wei army."

Yijianda smiled excitedly and said, "Su Ze and Cao Weijun are definitely dead. Uncle, if His Majesty leads us to destroy Cao Weijun, will he make me a general?"

Zhi Yuan looked at him with a smile, and said, "When His Majesty saw me at that time, he rewarded a rebellious general. After your meritorious service this time, His Majesty will definitely give you a big reward!"

Yijianda's eyes glowed, it seemed that he was still an official fan.

Zhiyuan didn't expect that Yijianda had such a cute side, so he couldn't help laughing.

Then, Zhi Yuanduo immediately issued an order to go down, and the cavalry continued to move forward quickly, surpassing the imperial guards, and the target was the Yushan area twenty miles away!
