[Chapter 438]

When Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao returned to the capital of Jili Prefecture, they saw the detailed information sent by Li Xun, saying that the information was actually a nagging letter, and Li Xun complained a lot in the letter.

First complain about not having a good New Year, and have been leading the army outside, the weather is freezing cold, and it is very uncomfortable.

Then he complained about the difficulty of supplying. From the beginning of the people who helped transport the army in Jilizhou, it was able to support the consumption of the army. After the army continued to advance, the inconvenience of communication became prominent.

Often the army advances for dozens of miles, and it takes several days for the supply team behind to deliver the follow-up supplies, which greatly affects the army’s mobility.

He went on to say that the people of the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion were cunning, and instead of confronting him head-on, they ran backwards all the way, taking all the people with them.

A few years ago, it was about to catch up, but because of a heavy snowfall, he had to give up chasing after him, so that the living forces of the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion were effectively assembled.

What’s more important is that many of the people brought from Shuzhou are sick and need to be taken care of. It is not easy for Jilizhou to remove the people from the past. There were no problems at the beginning, and it seems that they have adapted to the cold environment. , but with the long-term fighting on the snow, many people have suffered frostbite.

In short, the Heishui Governor’s Mansion is not something that can be beaten by people and needs support. I hope that Wang Juan, a man like a military god, can be powerful again.

After reading the letter, Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said to Wang Juan: “It seems that Li Xun encountered the tactics of others’ strong walls and clear fields, and the army was not adapted to the long-term cold weather, so he was beaten.”

Wang Juan nodded. Agreed and said: “It seems that our adaptive training in the California State is still not enough. I am very worried about the part of the people who went to North America. I don’t know if they will survive. So far, there is no news coming back.

Li Xun is also true, I only know how to complain, but I don’t know how to clearly write down the tactics used by the opponent I met, so that I can’t judge what the opponent’s generals are planning.”

“How else can we fight? When the winter comes, the troops should be interspersed with the fastest speed. I guess Li Xun wants to kill less people, and wants to directly overwhelm the opponent with the momentum of the army, but they did not compromise. , using all the available environments to teach Li Xun a lesson.

There are high mountains and dense forests, there should be a lot of virgin forests, this time thanks to not bringing him a spear troop, otherwise it would be easy for people to ambush and shoot Take it away, it’s cold to a certain extent, and the trigger can’t be pulled.”

Zhang Xiaobao also followed the analysis, the time and place are on the opponent’s side,

as for the people, the two sides seem to be similar.

Wang Juan put down the letter in his hand, pondered for a while, and said: “Li Xun should be stopped, the army should be retreated, and a new army should be replaced before going out. Now the morale of the 20,000-strong team is too low to be low. , the place of the Heishui Governor’s Mansion is huge, don’t expect to be able to take it down all at once.”

Wang Juan’s decision was made, and he was soon sent to Li Xun’s side. It is estimated that this trip will take at least a month to arrive. There is no way now.

Zhang Xiaobao also agreed to the proposal to let Li Xun withdraw his troops, adding: “The gunboat was unable to move forward due to the ice over there and was reinforced from the sea. Should I use it? I wonder how Shuiyun will follow? It is best to hurry up and get the news. Send it back.”

Perhaps after hearing Zhang Xiaobao’s call, Shuiyun flew back the next day and saw that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were very affectionate and had a good meal of beef, so they reluctantly took Wang Juan’s order. leave.

A gust of cold wind blew, Li Xun couldn’t help shivering, put down the telescope, lightly rubbed the face that had been blown by the wind with countless small holes, bared his teeth in pain, and cursed: “Damn, this gang You don’t have the guts at all, you’re not a man, there is a kind of rush to fight knife to knife, gun to gun, and then you know how to hide, hide from his mother.”

Li Xun, who was in charge of joining the army who came up with the idea, didn’t say a word at this time. , he was also beaten by the other side and lost his temper. As long as the countermeasures here formed a scale, the other side immediately retreated. Relying on the familiarity with the terrain, the speed was very fast. Every time he saw it, he felt that he could be surrounded. After the encirclement, the other party will disappear between heaven and earth.

Li Xun gritted his teeth, turned his head and asked the army, “Tell me, how will this battle be fought? A few days ago, I finally surrounded them all, surrounded by a mountain, and was about to take a rest and then attack by force, but one night passed, They actually poured water into the city, and they were sleepy for a few days in vain, and then let them run away.” When the

army heard Li Xun’s words, he wanted to say that if you didn’t have to say something that day, you would give the enemy a hope of survival. , If there are three missing one, how can people find a chance to run away, and the people in ambush in the open place have no time to move.

Thinking like this in my heart, I didn’t dare to say it, so I could only follow Li Xun’s words and say: “Your Highness, I guess they are not having a good time now, at least they have been running and never dared to confront us head-on, so what to eat? It’s almost enough to eat, and for heating, without a house, how can they not be cold?”

Li Xun didn’t say anything, he thought that what he said about joining the army was all nonsense, who is not cold, and he is still cold. Is there any fixed house to live in?

Living in a tent, wet and freezing, this battle is impossible to fight.

Joining the army and then said: “His Royal Highness, this minister is thinking, it is better to retreat first, now that it is the spring season, they must also need spring ploughing, let’s give them the place first, so that they feel safe, go back to spring ploughing, and wait for them to plough. Arrange the ground, plant the seeds, and we will make a comeback.

Your Highness, think about it, the seeds they planted with great difficulty cannot be given up casually. If we call again, some of them will definitely want to fight with us. Afraid that they will run away, if they still run, we will destroy their land.”

“Okay, a good way, the important thing is to cut off their hope of life, they will go crazy, your way is good, withdraw, but if I withdraw Now, will I be laughed at when I go back? What should I say to the emperor? In the beginning of spring, why did I not see any appearance of the beginning of spring, it should still be cold.”

Li Xun didn’t want to fight anymore, he was physically and mentally exhausted. It’s hard to get off on a tiger, and if you go in, you can’t get in. The place of the Heishui Governor’s Mansion is too big. You can run all the way after chasing each other, and you can’t retreat.

We all know that this time it was the emperor who was discussing swords at Mount Hua, and the people from the Heishui Governor’s Mansion wanted to do it all.

What’s more, this expedition can be said to be his first time. If he runs away in despair, the other brothers can’t laugh at him?

Joining the army may not be good for fighting in such an environment, but he does a good job in grasping human nature. He can see what Li Xun is thinking at a glance, and he proposes:

“His Royal Highness, we are not retreating, in fact, this is called a strategic shift. , when Wang Canjun was on the front line in Jinchuan, he didn’t change much, but didn’t he still win in the end? I just know that advancing blindly is not a good general, and sometimes it takes courage to make temporary concessions that are helpful to the overall situation.”

Li Xun’ai said

Listening, he narrowed his eyes, kept nodding, and said to the army: “Since you insist on making the transfer, Ben will listen to you once, pass the command of the general, the front team changes to the back team, transfer, pay attention to maintaining the formation, don’t Let people counterattack.”

Joining the army was stunned for a while, looking helpless, so he put the responsibility on himself, but who asked himself to follow, and he didn’t help win the battle, so he had to do it.

With Li Xun’s order, the team began to retreat. It is simple to say that it is not possible to retreat in a short time, and it is impossible to retreat to Jili Prefecture in one go. It can only retreat to the Governor of Bohai Sea. government.

Li Xun was very reluctant to go there, for fear of seeing the people from the Bohai Governor’s Mansion. If the other party thinks that he can learn the methods of the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion, it will be a problem. It’s really hard to deal with.

Datang’s army retreated when morale was at its lowest level. As is the case with all wars, the people of the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion would not give up this chance to pursue.

Although there was no large-scale frontal engagement, the harassment of small groups of troops never stopped. Traps, night raids, and all available tactics were used, making it very difficult for the rear troops sent by Li Xun.

Every day, Li Xun could hear the casualties coming from behind. Not many people died, but they always died. He was very worried that the troops at the rear would retreat when they had no morale. How many people.

After retreating for a few days, the things that Li Xun was worried about did not appear. Instead, there was a turning point. The 2,000 people who left behind the palace actually set up a temporary camp in an open area, imitating the people from the Blackwater Governor’s Mansion. It is also pouring water into ice and is resting.

“His Royal Highness, the people behind the two thousand palaces seem to want to counterattack.” Joining the army came to Li Xun’s camp this morning before dinner and said to Li Xun.

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked inexplicably: “Do they want to fight to the death? That’s not possible, two thousand people are not a small number, if they die, how should I explain to Xiaobao and the others, they are Ji Lizhou and the others. The person who came.” The

army officer shook his head and replied, “Your Highness, I don’t know if they are going to fight to the death, and they didn’t continue to send back the news as before, but the person in charge of the response saw a lot of smoke over there. Li Xun

thought that they wanted to stay there for a long time, in order to have a chance to counterattack.”

Hearing the words of joining the army, Li Xun was even more puzzled, “I don’t seem to have given such an order, right? Are they not making a fool of themselves? They are stationed, the food left for them is enough for them to eat for a few days, and now they are almost exhausted, do they want to starve themselves to death? Find a way for me to contact them.” The

more Li Xun thought about it, the more angry he became. I haven’t listened to the order. Did I fight a depressing battle and command the people of Jilizhou?

Just as he was talking, a messenger rushed in from outside with an anxious look on his face, and reported to Li Xun: “Your Highness, it’s not good, Your Highness, there is smoke over there.”

“I know, it’s not in the back. The troops behind the palace?” Li Xun said disapprovingly.

“Yes, yes, but that smoke, that smoke, Your Highness, you should go and see for yourself.” The messenger wanted to make it clear, but suddenly gave up. It was only a few steps away, and he could see the situation over there after leaving the tent. .

“Let’s go, take a look and take a look.” Li Xun raised his legs and walked out in puzzlement. At this moment, there were many people standing outside, all looking in the north direction.

The first thing Li Xun felt when he came out was that it was a cloudy day. After following the eyes of others, the whole person was frightened. He saw thick smoke billowing from the north, covering the sky and covering the sun, and it was not cooking smoke at all. It’s the smoke that only appears when there is a fire.

At this time, the wind was blowing toward the north, and it was a little west, and the smoke was also tilted toward the northwest.

After being stunned for a while, Li Xun shook his head vigorously and shouted loudly, “Who knows what’s going on? What happened over there?”

Everyone was at a loss.

Joining the army stood beside Li Xun and muttered: “It turns out that a big fire can start when it is so cold, and even snow can’t stop the spread of the fire.”

Li Xun nodded, and it was the first time he thought that he could still With such a big fire burning, a thought suddenly appeared in my heart that I didn’t want to believe, and said to the army: “Could it be that the people from the Heishui Governor’s Mansion saw the people behind our palace guarding them, so they brought a lot of fire things, Want to burn them to death? That’s 2,000 people.” Joining the

army was speechless for a while, with a look of fear in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly. With a painful expression on his face, it was the elite troops of Jili Prefecture.

“Quick, find a way for this general, get in touch with them, ask them to withdraw, quickly withdraw, we will withdraw too, if the wind changes, it will be troublesome.”

Li Xun shouted loudly to the people around him. , the surrounding soldiers shook their heads helplessly, how to get in touch?

Who is not dead in the past?

At the moment when everyone was dazed and helpless, a crisp eagle chirping suddenly sounded in the sky, and everyone couldn’t help but look up, and saw a snow-white eagle soaring and hovering with outstretched wings, and then began to dive towards the ground.

As soon as Li Xun saw the eagle, the first thing that came to his mind was to shoot it down and greeted the people: “Quick, shoot it down, so as not to hurt His Highness.”

After shouting this, he found that many people did not move. Only a few people drew their bows, and before they could take aim, Li Xun’s voice came over.

“Put down the bow for me. If you shoot it, you won’t want to live. Shuiyun, I’m here, Shuiyun, come down.”

The eagle in the sky responded with a cry, and it flew down towards Li Xun, hovering at a low altitude. After a circle, seeing that there was no danger, he fell on the tent and grabbed a few holes in the tent.

“His Royal Highness, this eagle…?” He had never seen Shuiyun before joining the army, so he didn’t know what he was doing.

“Hey, this is the baby of Xiaobao and Cuckoo. I didn’t expect it to come here. Quick, let someone prepare something to eat and ask for raw meat.”

Li Xun’s mood suddenly improved a lot because of Shuiyun’s arrival. Rubbing his hands, he came under the tent, looked up at

Shuiyun

, and said, “Where did you come from? Xiaobao and Juanjuan have a letter?”

Xun nodded, raised one of his wings to point to the sea, and let out a short chirping sound.

“From the sea? Are you with the fleet? Send me a message?” Li Xun picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground, put it on his shoulder with one hand, and asked again.

Shui Yun nodded again, his wings opened and closed, he flew to Li Xun’s wooden stick, raised a paw and let Li Xun take something down.

Joining the army was stupid, and muttered: “Mother’s jerk, where did the goblins come from? Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are already evil enough, so can raising an eagle.”

Shui Yun turned his head to look at joining the army, obviously It is to hear the words of joining the army, expressing dissatisfaction in my heart.

“Hahahaha.” Li Xun laughed, looking very happy, and said to the army: “We have only one in the world, this time, as long as there is news from there, I think there will be a way, I don’t know. Did this news come directly from the fleet or from somewhere else?”

While he was talking, Li Xun had already taken down the bamboo tube tied to Shuiyun’s leg, and helped Shuiyun rub it, relax, and tie it for a long time. also uncomfortable.

When Li Xun stood to open the letter and read it, someone had already brought the wild animals that had just been killed, cut them into pieces, and put them on the ground. He wanted to see how Shuiyun would eat, but Shuiyun remained motionless and only moved. Staring at the person who brought the meat.

“Okay, let’s do it like this, what should be withdrawn, what should be left behind, what are you afraid of burning the woods, as long as you can disrupt the deployment of the enemies of the Heishui Governor’s Mansion, everything is worth it, cuckoo cuckoo is cuckoo cuckoo, so far away You can take command, hehe, now you are finished.” After

reading the letter, Li Xun suddenly seemed to be a different person, returning from a defeated general to a victorious general.

Joining the army wanted to take a look at what was written in the letter, but seeing that Li Xun didn’t give it to him, he had to change the subject and pointed to the meat on the ground and asked, “Your Highness, UU read www.sonicmtl.com Does this eagle not like to eat venison? ”

It’s called Yun Shui, it’s not because I don’t like it, it’s because I’m afraid of being poisoned. Shui Yun, don’t worry, eat it. If anyone dares to poison him, this general will kill his whole family.”

Li Xun explained to the army and gave Shui Yun again. make a guarantee.

Shui Yun shook his head, still not eating, obviously not believing Li Xun’s guarantee.

“Go, get a live one.” Li Xun had to give another order. This time, it was a rabbit. It was very thin. It might have been hungry in winter. Li Xun personally cut off the meat. It was eaten together.

Joining the army looked at Shuiyun enviously, and asked Li Xun, “Your Highness, what shall we do next?”

“The large army retreats, leaving 2,000 people here, all supplies as much as possible, and then obey the order, This time, I want to show them the power of my Tang army.”

Li Xun took out the letter he had just picked up, with a wicked smile on his face.
