The battle between Liu Qi and Yan Xing was prepared in advance and deliberately staged for Han Sui and others to see.

There is no doubt that such a show will cause some losses to the armies of both sides to a certain extent, but since the generals of both sides have made sufficient preparations for each other in advance, the losses can be minimized.

War and military are never innocent things. Sometimes, for the final victory, local sacrifices are inevitable. In every era of war, a large number of people must be sacrificed for victory. A war without sacrifice is not a war.

, is a stand-alone game.

Experiencing the baptism of sacrifice and gratitude... This is a psychological process that every leading warrior will inevitably go through.

For these several feints with Yan Xingjun, Liu Qi's brilliance was that he not only feigned defeat, but also faked a victory in which he ambushed and defeated Yan Xingjun.

Only by winning and losing can the scene look more real.

And this goal has obviously been achieved.

…

The battle reports from the front line were sent back to Han Sui and others' main formation one by one.

At first, the Liangzhou warlords did not quite believe in this matter, but as time went by and battle reports came back again and again, the hearts of the Liangzhou warlords began to become active.

Especially when the carts of grain and ordnance sent back by Yan Xing were placed in front of the Liangzhou warlords, the flame of greed in their hearts was finally completely aroused.

You must know that Liangzhou is located in a remote area with scarce resources. To the Central Plains people, the people from Xiliang are country bumpkins who have never seen the world. The Central Plains people despise the poverty and uneducation of the Liangzhou people, while the Liangzhou people are

He covets the wealth of the people of the Central Plains.

The Jingzhou army is not easy to mess with, but the food, grass, military supplies, weapons and armor they possess also make the Liangzhou warlords covetous.

Finally, the Liangzhou warlords' emotions boiled over, and they urged Han Sui to lead them to pursue the Jingzhou army together.

Yan Xing's performance also satisfied Han Sui. Although there were one or two defeats in many pursuit battles, most of the results were still very good.

The occurrence of this situation shows that Liu Qi and others are indeed very anxious to withdraw!

Time really waits for no one.

Han Sui is also a person who dares to take risks. Once he has determined his goal, he will never be sloppy.

At that moment, Han Sui ordered his troops to be divided into three groups to pursue Liu Qi's army.

Along the way were candidates, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and others, from the south of Youfufeng to pursue the Jingzhou army and conquer the counties along the way.

The second group consisted of Ma Wan, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Cheng Yi and other groups, who followed Liu Qi from the north of Fufeng and conquered the city along the way.

The third group is Han Sui himself, chasing Liu Qi's army from the front.

At the same time, Han Sui also gave Yan Xing an order, telling him not to continue to pursue Liu Qi, but to follow Liu Qi closely, send people to carefully observe the opponent's movements, and report intelligence to the main forces of the three routes at any time.

In order to encourage the enthusiasm of the rebels, Han Sui ordered that after defeating Liu Qi, no matter what baggage was seized, it did not need to be handed over to the public and could be disposed of by oneself.

In other words, whoever strikes first and seizes military supplies and trophies, including prisoners of war, is his, and no one else is qualified to snatch it.

…

"Han Sui is finally going to attack with all his strength!"

Liu Qi handed the letter written by Yan Xing to Jia Xu, then took out a piece of dried meat from his bag and chewed it: "He divided his troops into three groups and ordered that the plundered military supplies should not be handed over to the public, but

Taking matters into their own hands will increase the fighting spirit of the Liangzhou warlords. According to the character of the Liangzhou warlords, if Han Sui gives this military order, they will definitely rush to pursue our army."

After Jia Xu was silent for a long time, he slowly said: "This is an inevitable result. Han Sui also calculated this point accurately and just issued this military order... But what Ling Mo is more concerned about is not his military order.

, but why he divided his troops into three groups."

Liu Qi didn't think too much about this. He bit into the dried meat and asked curiously: "He asked the other warlords to divide into two groups and lead one alone. Could it be that he wants to attack from multiple directions and make our army unable to respond?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "According to Han Sui's character, now that he has determined that our army is retreating in panic and there is an opportunity, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass easily, nor will he

Easily ceding credit and baggage to his colleagues."

"Is that because he wants to use those powerful Liangzhou powerhouses to weaken our strength? He is just waiting for the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him, and he only takes action in the end?"

Jia Xu was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "If we don't concentrate all our strength, if our army no longer retreats, but prepares for war, wipes out the pursuers and cuts off their wings, won't Han Sui regret it? The pursuers

Once a decision is made on a massacre, it must be done thoroughly and not be delayed too much. Han Sui is a man who is good at fighting, so he should still understand this simple truth."

Liu Qi stopped talking after hearing this.

Frankly speaking, Jia Xu can always crush him in this matter of guessing people's hearts...

He is still inferior to Jia Xu in terms of guessing people's hearts. Since he thinks there is something weird in this, let him think about it himself.

This is actually a comfortable thing for Liu Qi.

In the past, most of these things required him to think and make decisions alone, but since Jia Xu followed him, Liu Qi found that there were many things that required using his brain, and he could be lazy.

Leave difficult things to think about to Jia Xu. He only needs to judge whether Jia Xu’s idea is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.

This is what a leader should do.

After a while, Jia Xu slapped his forehead in sudden realization.

"Jia understands Han Sui's intention."

"What's his intention?"

"The rest of the Liangzhou rebels are just a stumbling block used by Han Sui to hold back the monarch. Han Sui now thinks that the monarch is anxious to return to Chang'an. He intends to bypass our army and capture Huaili City first.

Cut off our way back to Chang'an, then lay an ambush in Huaili and defeat our army in one fell swoop."

"Han Sui wants to steal my retreat?"

Jia Xu nodded lightly: "Chang'an is in crisis, the kings are anxious to retreat, and other Liangzhou powerful men are following behind to attack. At this time of internal and external troubles, if Han Sui can successfully steal our army's retreat, he will surely

Annihilate our army in one fell swoop and decide the outcome in one battle!"

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes.

This rebel leader was indeed much more powerful than the likes of Liu Zhang. No wonder the counter-rebellion army that dared to rebel and overthrow the imperial court was very different from ordinary people in terms of their courage and vision.

This is holding a knife, aiming at my vital point and stabbing it upwards.

"Then according to Wen He's opinion, how can I defeat him?"

Jia Xu said slowly and authentically: "Let him copy it."

"Let him copy?" Liu Qi looked at him in surprise: "Then I am really being attacked from both sides."

Jia Xu said calmly: "Don't be anxious, Lord. You have forgotten that you still have a strange army in Chang'an."

"A surprise soldier?"

Liu Qi was a little unresponsive at first.

Then he figured it out.

"You mean, Xu Rong and Zhao Yun's troops?"

"Yes, Junhou originally asked them to assist Liu Yu in Chang'an. At the critical moment, he cooperated with others to attack Li Jue, Guo Si and others. But now that the Yellow Turban soldiers have arrived in Chang'an, Liu Yu has no time to cooperate with Xu Rong. Now Xu Rong is in

Chang'an also stared blankly, feeling helpless. It would be better to secretly deploy them here and serve as a surprise force to give Han Sui a heavy blow when he blocked our retreat... As for the monarch, he stopped his troops and concentrated on taking care of the rest.

The rebels are."

"It's a good idea." Liu Qi nodded in agreement: "However, they are just afraid that they are not strong enough... Xu Rong only has 10,000 troops, so I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat Han Sui."

Jia Xu laughed when he heard this.

The smile was harmless, but when Liu Qi saw it, he felt a little nervous for some reason.

Jia Xu usually doesn't smile, but when he smiles, Liu Qi feels that he doesn't hold his shit in well and looks a bit old and dishonest.

"Have you forgotten that there is still someone you can use?"

"who?"

"Yan Xing."

Liu Qi kept slapping his mouth, secretly sighing in his heart.

Han Sui's sword was meant to stab his own heart, it was very cruel.
