"Zuo Shiren fell into the trap."
Xu Mu raised his head, feeling ecstatic in his heart. There was no problem with the plan. Zuo Shiren, the leader, really wanted to escape to the southeast river bank.
"Lord, there is the Duanhou Camp in Dongling!"
"Nothing, annihilate the Duanhou camp in Dongling first!" Xu Mu ordered in a deep voice. At this time, after Zuo Shiren left the official road, it was difficult to join forces with other reinforcements.
"kill--"
The two Dongling camps at the end can be regarded as extremely tenacious. It took a lot of effort for the Shu army to defeat these people.
When Xu Mu looked up again, he discovered that Zuo Shiren had taken the remaining troops of his headquarters and fled further and further away. The Donglai Phalanx, which was originally defeated, was reorganized by Yuan Song and was about to pursue the plan.
"The king of Shu has a brilliant plan for the world!" Yuan Song held his hands in his hands and his voice was filled with excitement. Under this situation, Zuo Shiren did not join the reinforcements, so there would be a greater chance of killing him!
An army of more than 7,000 people was currently fighting its way out of the siege along the southeastern river bank.
"Lord, I'm not wrong! I'll be here all the way. There won't be any enemy troops anywhere!" Wu Fu, who was in charge, looked ecstatic.
"I told you before, I, Wu Fu, am also familiar with the art of war!"
"Wu Fu, you did a good job this time! When I get back to Dongling, I will naturally reward you heavily!" Zuo Shiren also laughed.
Wu Fu was not wrong. After the breakout, there were no ambushing enemy troops for at least ten miles. At most, they were some enemy sentries. After seeing them, they were so frightened that they fled.
"When we get to the river bank, we light up the wolf smoke platform and we can go back to Dongling!" Zuo Shiren's voice was excited, even with a hint of unnoticeable crying.
On the river surface, there were patrols of the Dongling Navy. After lighting the beacon, they would definitely see their call for help and come over to respond in a hurry.
He raised his head and stared at the direction of the river. In a daze, Zuo Shiren felt that he was back in the palace in Lingzhou, lying leisurely on the throne, drinking wine, served by several princesses.
"Listen to my military orders——"
"Hurry to the river bank!"
After thinking this, Zuo Shiren raised his head and his voice was extremely loud.
…
One day later, Lingsu, who had abandoned the pass, led his remaining army of more than 40,000 people and marched downhill along the official road to the south.
On the way, he even caught up with Hongzhen. At this time, Hong Zhen had already wasted too much time in entering the forest to kill, and there were only more than 4,000 men left under his command.
"master……"
"Huh." Ling Su said with a cold face and did not have an attack. At this moment, the most important thing is to rescue Zuo Shiren.
"Quickly gather the army and follow me to help King Zuo."
Ling Su didn't dare to delay. If it was too late, something had happened to Zuo Shiren. The foundation for the King of Grain to enter the tomb is not stable, and he is afraid that he will not get anything.
"Master, don't worry!"
The troops were gathered together. At this time, Ling Su's men and horses had reached an army of fifty thousand, with a huge momentum.
"Hurry, don't delay!"
Under Ling Su's urging, these 50,000 men finally rushed to the southern front line without stopping. However, in this place where the fight was originally fought, apart from the mess and corpses of those who died in battle, there was no trace of Zuo Shiren anywhere.
"Master, did you go to the dock?" Hong Zhen said carefully.
"It's possible."
If Zuo Shiren succeeds in breaking through early, that would be the best thing. But soon, Ling Su became disappointed.
Not long after, an army of more than 20,000 people came in a hurry from the direction of the dock in the south.
"Military advisor... where is my lord?" The general at the shipyard looked anxious.
"Didn't you go to the dock?"
"Never seen it."
Ling Su frowned, "If you don't go to the south dock, where can you go? Send someone quickly to investigate the nearby area."
Not long after, the Dongling Duanhou camp finally collapsed and escaped from the forest.
"Military advisor, my lord has gone to the river bank in the southeast!"
After hearing this sentence, Ling Su's expression changed drastically. He stretched out his hand with some excitement and grabbed the soldier who was speaking, "Can you tell me again, did the lord really... go to the southeast?"
"Don't dare to deceive the military advisor, that's exactly what it is."
"Damn it!" Ling Su closed his eyes in pain and pushed the soldier away.
"My lord has fallen into a trap."
Around Ling Su, many Dongling generals looked frightened when they heard Ling Su's words.
"If the lord stays here, it won't be long before he can join forces with all the forces. At that time, he will naturally be able to repel the enemy's siege. But now, the lord fell into a trick and took the remaining army to the southeast to escape. I’m afraid a big disaster is about to happen!”
Ling Su dared to conclude that there must be a back-up manipulator under Xu Buyi in the southeast direction, and it would be impossible for Zuo Shiren to successfully return to the river and then back to Dongling.
"Military advisor, what should we do now?"
Ling Su's eyes darkened, "If we go to the southeast for rescue, I'm afraid we will also fall into Xu Buyi's poisonous plan. You know, going to the southeast will pass through a lot of swamps, and we are most likely to encounter ambushes. But If you don’t go, my lord will be in dire straits.”
"Damn Xu Buyi, the most traitor in the world."
No matter what, Zuo Shiren will definitely save him, there is no doubt about this.
"Hong Zhen, I order you to turn your merits into sins and lead our troops to investigate first. Remember, you must report back to the main camp every half mile. Don't be too troublesome. At this time, Dongling has reached an extremely critical moment. ." After hesitating for a while, Ling Su calmly ordered.
He didn't dare to think about what would happen to the entire Dongling if Zuo Shiren died here. Now, the interests of the Liang King's men and Dongling have been firmly tied together.
"Everyone, I hope we can work together to rescue our lord!"
Under Ling Su's encouragement, Dongling's 70,000-strong army, which had been lifeless, gradually regained some morale.
"go ahead!"
…
"The strategy of leading the sheep has been successful. The next step is to kill the leader, causing all the armies in Dongling to fall into a panic without a leader." Xu Mu spoke in a solemn voice while riding on the horse.
In front, Zuo Shiren, who was about to rush to the river bank, was blocked by the ambushed troops and was temporarily trapped in place.
You know, when the sheep-hunting plan started, Li Xiaoyao had already led his people to ambush him first.
Yuan Song, who was following, couldn't help but raise his head and laugh when he heard Xu Mu's words.
Without the worry of reinforcements, coupled with the superior terrain, it would be enough to kill Zuo Shiren within two or three days.
"Prince Yuan, how long will it take for Shentu Guan's army to arrive?" Xu Mu was a little worried and asked one more question. After all, only once Shen Tu Guan's army arrives will the entire battle be settled.
Compared with the various reinforcements in Dongling, at this time, their number of troops was after all too small.
"Don't worry, King Shu. I, Shentu Guan of Donglai, is a famous general in the world. After learning about King Shu's clever plan, I will definitely come as quickly as possible to join him!"
"Very good."
