"At this time, our army still cannot take it lightly. We order generals Wang Baobao and Huo Qubing to pay close attention to the enemy's movements!" Yue Fei looked in the direction of the Tengjia Army trapped in the canyon and gave serious instructions again.
The Tengjia Army is a considerable force. Even if the enemy army is defeated, if they learn that the Tengjia Army is surrounded and has not been eliminated, I am afraid they will not give up this power easily.
Therefore, before they can completely eliminate the Tengjia Army, they need to remain vigilant at all times and not be careless and stumble.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, all the generals are knowledgeable soldiers and will not give the enemy an opportunity!" Zhang Liang nodded.
Huang Feihu, Chang Yuchun, Huo Qubing, Wang Baobao, Yu Yunwen, Du Yu, Tan Daoji and others are all good generals in the world. With them working together to keep an eye on the enemy, nothing will go wrong.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, General Huang Tianhua returned from the battle defeated, with the loss of two thousand troops!" The voice of a scout suddenly came.
"Will General Huang be in the way?" Yue Fei did not care about this defeat first, but first asked about Huang Tianhua's situation.
"General Huang is fine!" the scout replied quickly.
Hearing this, Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Huang Tianhua led three thousand Qiang cavalry to pursue Zhu Yuanzhang. Since Huang Tianhua was defeated, it probably means that Zhu Yuanzhang has escaped.
Now, Huang Tianhua, who was pursuing Zhu Yuanzhang, had failed, and the only one Yue Fei had high hopes for was Li Cunxiao, who was pursuing Liu Xiu.
As for the two thousand people lost, Yue Fei didn't take them too seriously. Anyway, these Qiang cavalry were originally used for consumption. Compared with these Qiang cavalry, the safety of Huang Tianhua, a fierce general, is the most important.
However, the original number of Qiang cavalry was less than 30,000, and now they have lost another 2,000, and nearly half of these Qiang cavalry have been lost.
"Notice to the Commander-in-Chief, General Li Cunxiao is back!"
"Oh, go and invite General Li in!" Yue Fei said immediately. Now that Li Cunxiao has returned, the result of the final pursuit will be revealed soon.
"General Li, have you captured Liu Xiu?" Yue Fei asked impatiently as soon as Li Cunxiao came over.
Others around him also pricked up their ears. The outcome of this question will have a completely different impact on the development trend of the subsequent battle. If Li Cunxiao really captured Liu Xiu, then if the Jin army took the trouble to design it, Jingbei would easily split on its own.
"This... never!" Li Cunxiao shook his head slowly, and at the same time, he did not forget to describe the situation again.
"Is this Liu Xiu really blessed by God?" Huang Feihu, who had just arrived, said with an incomprehensible expression.
Most of the ancients were very superstitious, and the theory of ghosts and gods was quite popular at this time. When encountering danger, a wave of meteorites crashing down without any warning can easily connect people with heaven.
Moreover, Huang Feihu was different from Du Yu, Tan Daoji and others. Huang Feihu was already a member of the senior generals of the Jin army. Huang Feihu was qualified to know information that Du Yu, Tan Daoji, and even Yu Qian and Yu Yunwen did not know.
A few years ago, when Xiang Yu fought against Jingbei, such a scene also happened. Afterwards, Liu Xiu spread it throughout the world to make people believe that the Han Dynasty's luck still existed and that the Han Dynasty was blessed by heaven.
However, due to the active intervention of various officials, various increasingly bizarre and hilarious versions of this incident have emerged. And precisely because of this, it has gradually become a joke after dinner, and people only Treat it as a rumor instead of thinking it is a real thing, and try to minimize the impact as much as possible.
However, people like Yue Fei and Huang Feihu knew that this was not a rumor, but a real thing.
It might have been a coincidence once, but now it has happened twice, and even a warrior like Huang Feihu inevitably felt a little confused in his heart.
And this is the greatest power of Liu Xiu's skill. Even Huang Feihu was like this. Once the news spread, let alone the ordinary soldiers and people below.
"Enough! From today on, no one is allowed to mention this matter again!" Yue Fei scolded seriously.
Huang Feihu must not say these words, otherwise once word spreads, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army.
"General Chang, put all the soldiers in our army who know about this under guard! Anyone who talks too much will be executed immediately!" Yue Fei ordered.
After all, Li Cunxiao had already chased him a considerable distance at that time, dozens of miles away, and only a handful of Jin soldiers saw this scene.
"In addition, General Chang, take three thousand prisoners and clear the scene as soon as possible! Afterwards..." While speaking, Yue Fei silently made a gesture to Chang Yuchun. In order to prevent this matter from being leaked among the army, these prisoners could only be sacrificed.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general understands!" Chang Yuchun said with cupped hands and fists.
Among the generals, Chang Yuchun was the most murderous, and he himself was not averse to these things.
These things about Liu Xiu must not be spread to outsiders. In the superstitious background of ancient times, the impact on military morale is really great.
"Grand Governor, do you want to report this matter to Zhu Yuanzhang?" Huang Feihu said suddenly.
"No need to do anything extra!" Zhang Liang said after thinking for a moment.
Hearing this, Yue Fei, Yu Qian and others all nodded. There was really no need to do anything more. Whether this kind of thing is a coincidence or really destiny, if it spreads widely, it will be detrimental to the Jin army.
When it's time for a person like Zhu Yuanzhang to know, he can get the information himself without the need for anyone else to help him.
Moreover, even if Zhu Yuanzhang gets the news at this time, although he will be wary of Liu Xiu, at this critical moment of the battle between the two armies, Zhu Yuanzhang will not take action against Liu Xiu easily.
"We got a lot of prisoners from this battle. Tingyi, you and Bin's father have worked hard for a few days to reorganize these people as soon as possible and prepare them for the attack on Xiangyang!" Yue Fei turned to Yu Qian and ordered.
The prisoners obtained in this battle were either Zhu Yuanzhang's Yangzhou soldiers or Liu Che's Nanman soldiers, who were used to attack Xiangyang next. This Xiangyang is a fortified city and a very difficult bone to crack. If you want to take this place, you may not know how much blood you will have to spare.
Next, as long as Xiang Yu passes Xiakou and officially enters Jiangxia, Yue Fei and the others can retreat and fight first in Xiangyang. After taking down the most important town in Jingxiang, they can then turn around and deal with Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Xiu. et al.
