Like a huge bereft dog, the Hebei Allied Forces gave up the attack in despair and retreated thirty miles outside Dingbei Pass.
"Commander, kill, Lu Xiu has been killed!" An unsuspecting scout came over to announce the good news and wanted to ask for lottery money.
But he suddenly discovered that the old military advisor in front of him seemed to have a gloomy face, and even his eyes began to lose their luster.
"The military advisor... has surrounded Lu Xiu, and the barbarian army has come to join forces——"
"Shu Zi mistook me." Uncle Tai closed his eyes in pain.
In the wilderness, an army of nearly 200,000 people will be completely in trouble. If there was plenty of food and grass, that would be okay, but the Hu people still needed the Hebei Army to supply them.
"Military advisor... on the border of Hebei, the King of Yuzhou has added 30,000 new troops, for a total of 130,000. At Dingbeiguan, there are also many Shu troops coming from Liangdi."
The continuous bad news made Gongsun Qi, who still wanted to pretend to be calm, no longer able to control himself.
"Military advisor, if the Yuzhou army attacks now, what should we do?"
"Are you stupid?" Taishu Wang turned back coldly, "The Yuzhou army will not attack now. What Chang Silang wants is for our army to become completely exhausted, the food and grass are exhausted, the soldiers mutiny, and then we can fight with the defenders of Dingbeiguan Cooperate and annihilate them in one fell swoop.”
"What, what should we do? Otherwise, counterattack now?"
Uncle Wang sneered and really didn't want to talk to him anymore. The king of Yuzhou defended according to the danger, and as many as he lost died.
"Both armies were blocked." Taishu Wang sighed. One road is the Beidi army outside Hezhou, and the other road is the Hebei coalition army on his side.
So far, there has been no progress. And Cangzhou is already in danger.
"Military advisor, King Hu is here."
Uncle Wang calmed down his expression and stepped forward to greet him. Only then did he realize that there was a head hanging under King Hu's horse in front of him. No need to think about it, it is Lu Xiu, the Tiger of Dingzhou.
"Haha, Mr. Taishu, we are all happy, we are all happy! Lu Xiu is finally killed! In a short while, your and my army will be able to break through the barrier."
Taishu Wang felt bitter in his heart, "Your Majesty, Dingbeiguan may not be able to be attacked now..."
Lowering his eyes, Taishu looked at the head under the war horse. While anger arose in his heart, there was also a hint of admiration.
It was this kind of Central Plains people who were not afraid of death and dragged them into trouble.
"Mr. Taishu, what's wrong?"
"If there is a bad move, not only our Hebei army, but also the king's more than 200 Hu tribes will probably disappear from outside Dingbei Pass."
Taishu Wang calmly spoke and explained the current dilemma one by one.
After saying that, Gai Gong's expression changed drastically. Just as Tai Shuwang said, this time, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the Hu tribe.
"Your Majesty, if you are going north, is there a way to turn back?"
Gai Gong gritted his teeth, "If we continue north, we will reach the end of the world. If there is really a good way, Mr. Taishu thinks, why don't we, the barbarians, migrate?"
In one sentence, Tai Shuwang's confidence was blocked.
"What about to the west?"
"It's also a vast desert land. Moreover, after passing the desert land, there is the Bingzhou checkpoint, which is also heavily guarded."
Uncle Tai closed his eyes and his body was trembling faintly.
With one careless move, the entire army seemed to have no way out. What he was most worried about was that before long, the morale of the army would be weakened over time, coupled with the consumption of food and grass, the mixed military situation would inevitably change.
At that time, the King of Yuzhou, who had beaten the drowned dog hard, would rush over to kill him.
"Go and ask, how much food and grass are left?"
The quartermaster came over in a hurry, thought about it for a while, and spit out a number that made the uncle despair.
"The number of months."
…
The border between Hebei and Dingzhou is a river, neither big nor small.
At the shallows of the river, Tsuneshiro had already set up a defensive line early. If Uncle Wang dares to lead his men back to attack, he will definitely be able to drink a big pot.
"Zhongde, it's been five days." Chang Silang sighed, "over Dingbeiguan, the current generals are Chao Yi of the Wolf Clan, and Lu Xiu has not returned. It is more likely that he died in the Wild Wolf Valley. "
"It's a pity. Such a person should obviously have a greater fame and career."
"My lord, if it weren't for Lu Xiu's temptation and delaying time, we wouldn't have the advantage we have now."
"Of course I know, but I still feel it's a pity." As he spoke, Chang Shiro's eyes turned red, "What a good man, loyal and brave, why can't he come back."
"Every time I see these good people, I always think of my old friend, Mr. Qing, standing behind and dying on the city wall."
"My lord, my condolences."
After rubbing his nose, Changshiro calmed down.
"Now that the siege has been completed, just as Lu Xiu said in his letter, wait until the Hebei Allied Forces run out of food and grass and the soldiers mutiny, then they can send out the army. Zhongde, send a few more fast horses to go around Dingding from the inner city. Beiguan, tell Chao Yi that when the time comes, he will raise the flag as a signal and attack Taishu Laogou."
"I estimate that there should be 50,000 or 60,000 troops at Dingbeiguan by now. This time, not only Taishu Laogou, but if he can destroy the Hu bandits, he will also become the Tiger of Dingzhou." ’s legacy.”
Tsuneshiro turned his head to the sky.
"What a good person, but he can't come back. How will my little boss cry when he receives the letter."
…
A few days later, Xu Mu, who was in Cangzhou, received an urgent letter from Dingzhou.
I just opened it and read the contents of the letter clearly. He paused and walked silently to the river bank.
"Brother Mu, do you want to go fishing? Why don't you take me with you?"
The careless Si Hu was suddenly stopped by Yin Hu, and he hesitated to tell the contents of the letter.
Suddenly, Si Hu collapsed on the ground, holding his head and crying.
Chang Wei came next to him and heard the reason clearly. He also sat next to Si Hu and cried with him.
Yin Hu raised his head and looked at the figure on the river bank. He hesitated and finally did not walk over.
If there is a war, people will die.
Lu Changling, the Tiger of Dingzhou, used his own body as a plan and as a bait until the mighty Hebei Allied Forces were trapped in front of Dingbei Pass. The layout was already approaching perfection.
"Congratulations General Lu."
Yin Hu raised his hands to the sky with sadness on his face.
In this world, after all, there are many people like Lu Xiu who can unite into one force and bring peace to the world.
…
From noon to sunset, the figures on the river bank remained motionless for a long time.
It wasn't until Yin Hu came for the fourth time that Xu Mu turned around silently, dragging his leaden feet, and walked towards the camp.
"My condolences, General Lu. Ten thousand people will surely follow General Lu's legacy. One day, Dingzhou will be free from the troubles of foreigners. Relying on the convenience of official roads and waterways, it will surely become a big city."
"Natural." Xu Mu's voice was hoarse. He raised his head and looked at the burning dusk ahead. Maybe he remembered that day again, when he captured Lingju Pass and Lu Xiu came from Dingzhou in a dusty journey.
"The tiger of Dingzhou, Lu Xiu and Lu Changling, pay homage to the lord!"
"Long order!"
Facing the falling sunset, Xu Mu couldn't bear it any longer, and with a cry of grief, he staggered to the ground.
