"What to do! How to go next!" At a fork in the road, Wang Yanzhang looked hesitant.
Both of these roads can be used to escape to Jiaozhou, but they are just a big road and a small road. But now, there were traces of large numbers of people passing through both roads, and it was difficult for Wang Yanzhang to determine which way the other party left.
If you can't even judge this point, then there's no point in pursuing it!
Moreover, Wang Yanzhang did not dare to make the decision to divide his troops and pursue them easily. Just now, in order to guard the thousands of surrendered troops, 2,000 troops had been divided, and now Wang Yanzhang only had 8,000 troops left in his hands!
Based on these eight thousand troops, if they continue to divide their troops, once the enemy sets up an ambush in a dangerous place, they will be the ones who suffer.
"Pursue from the main road. This is the right time for the cavalry to march! If the enemy gets rid of us, they will rely on the Tenglong Legion!" One of the generals talked eloquently. At the same time, he pointed out that the horse's hoofprints on the road were like horse's hoofprints. Most of them, so they should pursue in the direction of the main road.
"Inappropriate! There are many women, young and old among the enemy troops, and the marching speed is limited. Although the small roads are not conducive to the cavalry's march, they can be used to avoid our troops!" Another general gave an objection. This reason was given to It is also quite sufficient.
Indeed, the small road is not conducive to the cavalry's movement. It is indeed advantageous for Yu Ji and the others to walk on the small road.
"Chase him from the alley!" Yingbu also spoke at this time.
When Yingbu spoke, Wang Yanzhang also paid more attention. Although Yingbu's position is below him, his ability is worthy of Wang Yanzhang's trust. At the same time, Yingbu had been on Xiang Yu's side before, and he knew the people on Xiang Yu's side quite well. His suggestions were more meaningful than others.
"There are many horse-drawn carriages among the enemy troops, and they can only drive on the main road! But please take a look, there are traces of horse-drawn carriages traveling here!" Yingbu said, pointing in the direction of the main road.
Many of Yu Ji's marching team were the civil and military family members of Xiang Yu's family. There were not only female family members, but also young and old. Naturally, it was impossible for these people to walk like other soldiers, so let them ride horses. It’s also unrealistic. Not everyone can master this technology.
What's more, there are so many horses that have long been used to form cavalry, how can they be used as means of transportation for these people!
Moreover, it is not appropriate for them to ride on the same horse as the soldiers of the Tenglong Legion. If this method is feasible, at the speed of the Tenglong Legion, even a three thousand battalion will have a hard time catching up with you.
Unfortunately, this method is not feasible. In ancient times, the issue of male and female defense was still very critical. It was impossible for the female relatives to ride on the same horse as the soldiers of the Tenglong Legion.
Therefore, there are indeed many carriages in the marching team.
And it is impossible for so many carriages to drive on the road without leaving any traces. But everyone looked in the direction pointed by Yingbu. On this road, although there were traces of a large number of people and horses building new buildings, they could not find any trace of carriages passing by.
"If you want to cover up the situation, General Yingbu, doesn't the enemy's move mean that they are traveling on the main road?" One of the generals asked doubtfully.
Among the two roads, only the main road is suitable for carriages. A few carriages on the small road may be OK, but if the number of carriages increases, it will be inconvenient. Therefore, objectively speaking, among the two roads, only the main road has the conditions for carriages.
But now, there are no traces of carriages driving on the road. It is very likely that it has been dealt with in advance. Therefore, in the view of this general, this further proved that Yu Ji and the others actually left from the main road.
"No!" Yingbu waved and continued.
"Although Yu Ji is a woman, her vision and planning are not overbearing..."
"Nothing can be compared with Xiang Ni!" Yingbu was originally going to call Xiang Yu "Bawang" out of habit, but when he said the words, he suddenly realized that his identity had changed for a long time, and he hurriedly changed his title.
However, the people next to him now were all rough guys, but they did not take this matter seriously.
After clearing his throat, Yingbu continued, "In my opinion, this must be Yu Ji tricking us into pursuing us from the main road, but she herself might take advantage of this and escape!"
After a brief explanation, Yingbu stopped talking and waited for Wang Yanzhang's final decision. After all, Yingbu was only a deputy general, and the decision was ultimately made by Wang Yanzhang as the commander-in-chief.
At this time, Wang Yanzhang remembered Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Xiang Yu's internal figures. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Xiang Yu was suitable to be a general, so he could only be a general. Being a monarch was almost meaningless!
When Xiang Yu became the monarch, three people were indispensable. Two of them were Fan Zeng, who was responsible for making suggestions, and Sun Shuao, who had been helping Xiang Yu manage government affairs. As for the last one left, it is Xiang Yu's virtuous wife Yu Ji.
From the conquest of Jiaozhou during the war against Dong, to later Yu Ji helped Xiang Yu form the largest cavalry regiment in the south, and then based on the development of Jiaozhou, and vigorously developed the Secret Pavilion of the Xiang clan's intelligence agency, in these things, Yu Ji Ji Du has contributed a lot to this, and it can even be said that she contributed to it.
At the same time, Yu Ji helped Xiang Yu retain many talents. After the Jiaozhou strategy, Yu Ji helped Xiang Yu discover many local talents in Jiaozhou. When she was in Jingbei, she took advantage of the absence of Liu Yu and Liu Xiu to poach Liu Biao like crazy. Among the people who were poached by Liu Biao, the most powerful one undoubtedly belonged to Zhang Churang.
At the beginning, even Zhu Yuanzhang sighed when he mentioned such a woman, it was a pity that she was not a man.
Therefore, Yingbu explained that these were Yu Ji's tactics to attract them to pursue them from the main road. Regarding this point, Wang Yanzhang is actually inclined to believe it.
However, this decision is still not easy to make. If you make the wrong choice and go back and pursue the right path, it will be absolutely impossible to catch up. Therefore, Wang Yanzhang cannot be careless when it comes to such a multiple-choice question.
"The whole army obeys the order! Pursue!" Pointing in the direction of the path, Wang Yanzhang ordered angrily.
In the end, he chose to believe Yingbu once and trust his judgment. Moreover, the time in pursuit is precious. If he hesitates for one more minute, the enemy will have one more chance to escape. Therefore, the actual situation does not allow him to continue to struggle like this.
