C292 A Plan to Retreat from the Enemy

Wang Xiaojian did not have any official position in the army.

But everyone addressed him as General Lee.

"This place is still more than fifty kilometers away from the Changping City. How could there be a Changping City broken weapon? "

Wang Xiaojian heard and frowned, he had a bad feeling about this.

He muttered to himself, and then said: "Prince Chu told you to come find me, right? "I know what happened, I'll go look for him now."

"Yes." "General!"

Because of the discovery of the handicapped veterans, the army temporarily halted their march.

Wang Xiaojian turned his horse and brought Diaochan to the front of the army.

At this time, Prince Chu Chu Dongliu and the other generals beside him had all dismounted and were discussing what to do.

One hundred thousand soldiers came from Yan Pingzhou, but most of these generals were direct descendants of the Army of Chu Family.

Among the high-ranking officers, there were two young faces.

One was called Chu Han, he was Chu Dongliu's adopted son, and his strength was only second to Chu Xiaodong's.

The other one was Chu Feiyan, Chu Dongliu's daughter.

She had practiced martial arts since she was young and wore military uniforms, giving off a valiant aura.

In front of them, there were even a few ragged Xia Country soldiers whose bodies were injured.

These were the handicapped veterans that Chu Dongliu's vanguard troops had discovered in front.

Seeing Wang Xiaojian coming over while riding on the Red Rabbit Horse, everyone was attracted by the handsome appearance of the Red Rabbit Horse. They all spoke at the same time: "General Lee."

"En!"

Wang Xiaojian nodded and brought Diaochan down the horse.

He walked in front of Chu Dongliu with large strides, went straight to the point, and asked: "Prince Chu, how's the situation right now?"

Chu Dongliu said with a serious face: "General Lee, the situation is very bad. The strength of the Shang Country Cavalry is beyond our expectations. Now that the Changping City has been seized by them, the life and death of General Yu and the Changping City Prefect Hou Chun are uncertain. "

Wang Xiaojian's heart sank, he never expected the situation to be so grim.

He looked at the weak soldiers by Chu Dongliu's side and asked: "These people, are they from Changping City?"

Chu Dongliu's face darkened, and said: "General Lee, from the start, I also thought that it was the crippled weapon from Changping City. But they are not, they have come from the Sishui City. "

Sishui City, Ningan City?

Wang Xiaojian was startled.

There were a total of three major cities and more than a dozen counties.

The three major cities were respectively Changping City, Sishui City, and Ningan City.

Among them, Changping City was the largest, followed by Sishui City, and Ningan City was the smallest.

The three cities all had their own armies, and they were geographically positioned in a triangular position. If one side was in trouble, it would be extremely difficult to capture the reinforcements from both sides.

But Chu Dongliu actually said that these handicapped veterans came from Sishui City.

Wang Xiaojian frowned: "Prince Chu, so you're saying that Sishui City and Ningan City were also taken down by the Shang Country Army?"

Chu Dongliu said solemnly, "That's right, the Shang Country Cavalry is like a hot knife through butter. Their speed was simply too fast. We had only travelled one day and two nights from Tianyang City to here. However, in such a short period of time, the three major cities of the Lizhou had actually obtained it. If the daily shares were to come later, the entire Lizhou s would have been gone. "

"Now that we are stuck in a dilemma, This King wants to find the General Lee to discuss about it. What should we do next?"

When Chu Dongliu opened his mouth to speak, all the generals of the Army of Chu Family turned their gazes towards him.

Before Wang Xiaojian had arrived, they had discussed about it, but they had not come to an ideal conclusion.

There was no way in. This was because all three major cities had been taken down.

They only had a hundred thousand men, so when facing an army of two hundred thousand men, besieging a city was the least rational thing to do.

There was nowhere to retreat to. Because behind him, was the Yan Pingzhou where the capital's Tianyang was located!

As soon as the army arrived here, they immediately retreated back to Yan Pingzhou. This was a huge blow to the morale.

I can't tell the empress.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Wang Xiaojian revealed a face of contemplation.

At this moment, he no longer had his usual mocking smile as he seriously pondered.

After a moment, Wang Xiaojian raised his head.

He didn't immediately answer Chu Dongliu's question, but instead asked, "Prince Chu, when did they take down Changping City, and when did they take down Sishui City and Ningan City?"

Chu Dongliu replied: "According to these handicapped veterans, yesterday afternoon, they took down their Changping City. Then, he attacked the Sishui City and the Ningan City throughout the night. Up until this morning, we've completely taken down two cities. "

"You only got it this morning?"

Wang Xiaojian muttered to himself. Then, his eyes flashed with a bright light as he said, "Prince Chu, since that's the case, why don't we attack immediately and take back our Sishui City?"

Wang Xiaojian's words were shocking, he said that he was going to attack immediately, shocking all the generals that were waiting for him to present his plans.

Even Chu Dongliu's face changed, he did not expect Wang Xiaojian to say that.

The reputation of the Shang Country Cavalry was too terrifying.

They had consecutively conquered three prefectures with unstoppable force.

Moreover, they had two hundred thousand troops, while Zhao Dongliu's army was only a hundred thousand.

In their eyes, attacking immediately was akin to hitting a rock with an egg. There would never be a good ending.

Even if they lost a hundred thousand people, they might not be able to win.

The young officer, Chu Han, did not look good. She turned to Wang Xiaojian and said, "Lee Bai, the Shang Country Cavalry is so powerful, and you still want us to attack. Do you want to kill us? "

Chu Han was Chu Dongliu's adopted son, but her personality was completely different from the humble and courteous Chu Xiaodong.

In the army, everyone politely addressed Wang Xiaojian as General Lee, and he directly called him by his name.

Wang Xiaojian laughed, looked at Chu Dongliu and said: "Prince Chu, do you also think so?"

Chu Dongliu frowned at how impolite Chu Han was, but he still looked at Wang Xiaojian and said: "General Lee, the current Shang Army is unstoppable, to suddenly attack like this is indeed a bit too radical."

Wang Xiaojian nodded his head and laughed, "The merchant army may seem like they are unstoppable forces, but in reality, they are already at the end of their rope."2

"Exhausted?"

Chu Dongliu did not understand.

The soldiers were equally puzzled.

"En!"

Wang Xiaojian nodded, and continued to laugh: "The merchant army has been breaking through the Xiling's borders, taking down the Taizhou, Tongzhou's two provinces. And now, you have consecutively taken down three cities of the Lizhou, so you must be incomparably exhausted. "

"They are exhausted, but we are full of energy. "Therefore, this is the best time to take the city back."

"Also, the merchant army is still not aware that we have already arrived at the Lizhou. Although we are attacking with all our might, we were able to catch them off guard. "

"As long as we attack. I have the confidence to take back the Sishui City s and the Ningan City s before dawn tomorrow. "

Wang Xiaojian's words were shocking, but orderly.

He actually said that tomorrow, before dawn, he would be able to seize back the two great cities with Lizhou, causing all of the soldiers to be stunned.

Because he was the "Savior", Wang Xiaojian was incomparably lofty in many people's hearts.

His words were particularly convincing.

Especially these words, they were reasonable and reasonable, the head was clear, and even Chu Dongliu acknowledged them.

Of course, not everyone admired Wang Xiaojian that much.

Chu Han revealed a cold smile, her thin lips curving in a mocking manner: "Lee Bai, don't speak nonsense. "You kept saying that you could take down two big cities tonight, but what if you fail?"

"You opened your mouth and proposed a rotten idea. If it's because of your mistake in planning, my Army of Chu Family would have been utterly defeated, resulting in the loss of a hundred thousand elite soldiers. Can you bear this responsibility? "
