Chapter seventy-six clever tricks
"Escape overnight?" Although Hu Baojin was very reluctant to rush to the road at night, he still felt chill when he thought of Si Jun's terrifying strategies and weapons, so he replied: "Okay, just evacuate overnight..."
Taking advantage of the night, the Hu army set off and 20,000 troops retreated to Longzhan City overnight.
Panlongguanzhong was full of joy. Over the past few years, Si Guo, who had been bullied by Hu, finally stood up. This battle against Panlongguan had a beautiful turnaround, and it was also the biggest victory in Si Guo's history. This battle eliminated 60,000 Hu troops, and the Independent Regiment lost less than a hundred people. This result was unprecedented. After that, the wonderful story of seizing Panlongguan and defending Panlongguan were widely circulated. Qian Xiaoxing was known as a mythical hero and was well-known in the Si Guo. He was just like offering sacrifices every day.
At the celebration banquet of Panlong Pass, King Si personally came to congratulate the Independent Group on its great victory in Panlong Pass. Everyone sat around. Si Yingying and Yi Hongyue sat next to Qian Xiaoxing. Seeing that the man he liked around him had such ability, they all admired him and kept picking up food for Qian Xiaoxing.
Everyone raised their glasses frequently. After several rounds, Qian Xiaoxing's face turned red. Si Wang said happily: "Today is the happiest day in my life. Finally, I can avenge Hu Guo before. Xiao Qian, you have made the greatest contribution. I would like to greet you."
Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "I am a junior, how can I let you toast King Si? I'll to King Si."
After the two of them finished drinking happily, King Si continued, "Xiao Qian, look at the time we wiped out 60,000 Hu Jun this time. What are their plans for the future?"
Qian Xiaoxing thought about it and replied, "I think Hu army has two ways to go, one is to withdraw troops, and the other is to increase troops. If he retreats, he will give up resisting us, and we will have the opportunity to recover Longzhan City and Juma City, which originally belonged to our country. If he increases troops, he will die as much as he wants."
When King Si heard that there was hope of regaining two cities, he was immediately excited and said, "If I could recover the country, I could rest in peace even if I died. In this way, I would not be ashamed of my ancestors when I reached the bottom of the nine springs."
Lu Shengzhong also looked eager and asked, "Seventh brother, do you really have a way to recover the two cities outside Panlong Pass? You also know that this city is guarded, but it is not as easy as Panlong Pass to guard. Even if we take the opportunity to take it back, Hu State will still easily seize it, and we will inevitably die many warriors."
Qian Xiaoxing was a little embarrassed after hearing this. He just had a momentary idea and did not think about it in detail. Looking at the longing eyes of King Si and Lu Shengzhong, he replied: "It's not impossible, I just let me think about it carefully."
"Well, it's a matter of seventh brother who can do a lot of impossible things. I can definitely do it well this time. I believe you." Lu Shengzhong said with great confidence.
King Si encouraged: "Xiao Qian, if you can recover your country and keep it stable and long-term, I will give up this throne to you, and I will not say anything."
Qian Xiaoxing waved his hand and said, "King Si, do you think I'm exhausted? This throne is busy with work, I can't do it if I want me to do it. I'd better work hard on yourself, King Si."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was happy. While everyone was laughing, a soldier came to report: "Captain, Chief of Staff, King Si, just received the information, and the Hu army set out to withdraw the camp overnight."
"Retreat, Hu Jun actually ran away, haha." King Si smiled happily when he heard this.
Lu Shengzhong asked Xiaobing, "Which direction did you retreat?"
The soldier replied: "Escape toward Longzhan City."
"Okay, I know, continue to observe the movements of the Hu army and report them at any time." Lu Shengzhong sent the soldier away and asked Qian Xiaoxing: "Have the Hu army withdrawn?"
"It's possible. If there is a stalemate or a stalemate, they don't need to withdraw." Qian Xiaoxing said this, but he didn't expect that the Hu army was afraid of his plan, which might lead to the entire army's disappearance. Now the Hu army is like a frightened bird, and it's really scared. Of course, more importantly, the Hu army has been promoted by Sima Yiqing's brilliant plan and began to retreat and implement the blocking strategy.
The battlefield was cleaned up in the next few days, and the bodies of a large number of Hu soldiers before Panlong Pass were burned beyond recognition. After Si Jun dug a large pit and buried the bodies, it took a long time to gradually clean it up. A large number of weapons and equipment were seized in this battle, and Si Guo's national strength was greatly enhanced.
Seeing that the Hu army had no threat to retreat, Qian Xiaoxing held a plenary meeting of the troops. At the meeting, the soldiers and teams who won the meritorious achievements were commended. Those who shot many enemies on the battlefield and the catapult formations all received first-class merit rewards. The rest also received merits according to the size of the merits. Seeing the gold, silver and bronze medals hanging on the chests of the winning soldiers, the soldiers below applauded and celebrated, and were also annoyed that they had not won the merits.
As soon as the meeting ended, Qian Xiaoxing received information from the Mo brothers. Looking at the information, he felt very troublesome. He immediately convened a military meeting and all battalion-level cadres came to attend.
Qian Xiaoxing said after seeing everyone, "I just received the information that Hu's army retreated to Longzhan City. It was not a threat to our company, but they sent troops to guard the road. The caravans of our company and the merchants of Lin's company were unable to pass. This move is very cruel. Everyone can discuss what solutions are there."
After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong explained: "The Hu army cut off our business path, which means cutting off our country's economic source. It is indeed very cruel, so our country will not be able to develop and strengthen the army."
After hearing this, Ni Qiu said, "It seems that Hu Jun wants to fight a protracted war with us. Although they can't attack, they still want us to get out."
When Leos heard this, he shouted, "Let me take the Tiger Camp and kill them all."
After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "Even if you kill these 20,000 Hu troops, we still can't defend Longzhan City. After the Hu army sent troops to occupy it, we still cannot open the business road."
After hearing Qian Xiaoxing's words, everyone was speechless. Not to mention that the 20,000 Hu troops could not be eliminated at present, even if they were eliminated, they could not hold on with the 5,000 soldiers of the State of Si. Even if they could hold on to Longzhan City, Panlong Pass would not have the power to guard it, which was a very headache.
Seeing that everyone was not speaking, it seemed that this problem could not be solved at all, so Qian Xiaoxing had to say, "Then let's break up the meeting first. Although the business road has been blocked, the domestic economy of the State of Si can still have a lot of room for development. Let's stabilize the domestic development first, and the problem of Longzhan City. When I go to the vicinity of it, I will take a look before making plans."
After hearing this, everyone left dejectedly. Lu Shengzhong said, "Seventh brother, don't be too tired. I'm very satisfied that Si Guo can seize Panlong Pass and keep it."
Qian Xiaoxing shook his head and said, "Our company has only two cities, with few people and shortage of land. If the business road is not opened, it will definitely fall behind in the long run and will still be bullied by a big country."
