The Republic of China: Twins with a beautiful start, navigating a troubled world

"Stop! Give me the order, stop chasing!"

At this moment, Sun Tao suddenly issued an order.

"Master Sun has an order to stop the pursuit!"

"Master Sun has an order to stop the pursuit!"

As Sun Tao's order was conveyed, the Tiandao Army immediately stopped chasing Peng Dehai and other remaining Xu family troops, and immediately retreated.

"Strange, why did you stop chasing? With such a good opportunity, why not annihilate them all?"

"That's right! It would be great to capture them all in one go, why don't you stop chasing them?"

"Mr. Sun must have his own motives for doing this. We just have to obey orders."

Faced with Sun Tao's decision, everyone was very confused, but the military order was like a mountain, and everyone immediately obeyed the order and stopped chasing Peng Dehai and others.

He Changjun and Deng Gang rushed to Sun Tao with several group leaders. Without any hesitation, they went straight to the point and directly asked the doubts in their hearts.

"Brother Tao, why don't we chase after him? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Xu family army will be wiped out in one fell swoop soon!" He Changjun couldn't help but ask.

Sun Tao glanced at him, then looked at everyone, and said immediately: "Didn't you notice? Although the Xu family army was defeated by us and suffered heavy losses, they retreated in an orderly manner, and they have been heading towards the Golden Slope. They are retreating in the direction of the plain, which shows that their commanders are not panicking at all, maybe they are guiding us to catch up, and they already have a countermeasure at this moment!"

After hearing this, and then thinking of the scene when Peng Dehai led the Xu family's army to retreat, and thinking about it carefully, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Mr. Sun, what you said makes sense. The people we shot and killed had no guns, ammunition, or even food left on them. This means that when they died, someone took these things away immediately. If they really If they are defeated and in a panic, they may not have time to take these things away," said a regimental leader.

"Well, Brother Tao's analysis is correct. This place is very close to the Golden Slope Plain. Their support is very likely to arrive, so they want to lure us there." He Changjun agreed.

After Sun Tao's explanation, everyone was not only no longer confused about his decision, but also very supportive.

"The commander-in-chief has now taken down Fourth Master Xu. The Xu family's army must be morally shattered. This is a good time to annihilate the Xu family's army in one fell swoop. The commander-in-chief must have led his troops to the Huangjinpo Plain as soon as possible. What we have to do now is Join the commander, and when the time comes, we will gather together and attack the Xu family army together!" Sun Tao said.

"Well, that makes sense. Then we have to meet up with the commander. We..."

Before He Changjun finished speaking, a soldier suddenly ran towards this side, and this person was Xiao Zhan, who had taken the [Be Obedient Gu]. He served as the leader of the Tiandao Army.

Although his official position was not high, he and Zhao He were connected. The reason why Zhao He asked him to follow Sun Tao and He Changjun was because he wanted to use him to understand the battle situation and convey orders for him at critical moments.

"Mr. Sun, can we take a step to talk?" Xiao Zhan looked at Sun Tao and said immediately.

"Of course." Sun Tao said immediately.

So the two people walked to the side and were alone together. Everyone was very confused when they saw this scene and didn't understand what the two people were talking about.

Moreover, everyone could not see through Xiao Zhan. The latter was originally a traitor to the Xu family army and joined the Tiandao Army as a traitor. Why did he rebel? What does it have to do with the commander? Everyone didn't understand. They only knew that the latter was highly regarded by the commander, but his official position was not high. He was just an ordinary regiment leader. He didn't manage anyone under his command. He was usually taciturn and very difficult to get along with.

"Brother Xiao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. The commander-in-chief told me before he left that I need to refer to your opinion more at critical moments." Sun Tao looked at Xiao Zhan and said straight to the point.

Obviously, Zhao He had already said hello!

Xiao Zhan did not hesitate at all and said: "Mr. Sun, the commander-in-chief has ordered that you and Commander He need to divide their troops into two groups. He Changjun will lead 10,000 people to Qing'an County secretly. It depends on the situation to rescue the Xia Jiajun who is surrounded by the Xu Jiajun. As for Mr. Sun, you need to lead people to Fengcheng and capture this city!"

Hearing this, Sun Tao couldn't help but be stunned. He understood very well about taking Qing'an County. Then he could rescue the trapped Xia Jiajun, and then they could unite together to attack the Xu Jiajun.

But why suddenly attack Fengcheng?

This is an ordinary city near the Huangjin Slope Plain, and it is also very poor. It can only be regarded as a third-rate city, and it does not even have walls. What is the use of taking such a city?

Xiao Zhan seemed to see the other party's doubts and did not allow Sun Tao to ask. He explained directly: "According to the information that the Marshal learned, Xu Siye's parents, wife and children, Xu Wentian's wife, children and so on, were all killed by Xu Si." He moved to the Liu family's home in Fengcheng. The current top commander of the Xu family army is Xu Wentian. It is said that this man likes his wife very much. If he learns that his wife has been arrested, he will definitely be in chaos and personally lead people to rescue her. By the time……"

At this point, he stopped talking. When Sun Tao heard this, his eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Surround the area for reinforcements!"

"That's right!" Xiao Zhan laughed.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless strategies in Chinese history, and this "encircling a point for reinforcements" is very famous, which is to surround a very important place and wait for the enemy's reinforcements to come to support, and then they can annihilate these reinforcements. .

Even if the enemy knows that this is a conspiracy, because this place is very important and they have to send troops to rescue them, they will rush forward without hesitation even if they know it is a trap.

But this is the situation now. Xu Wentian learned that his wife, children, mother had fallen into the hands of the Tiandao army, and there would definitely be chaos. He personally led his troops to rescue them. Then Sun Tao and the others could set up an ambush in advance and beat them. Caught off guard.

As for how Zhao He knew that the Xu family members were hiding in Fengcheng, it was obviously from Xu Wenshu's mouth. After using the "handshake obedience card" on him, he confessed everything without any secrets.

"Okay, I understand." Sun Tao responded immediately. At the same time, he was also confused, why did Xiao Zhan know this? Could it be said that the commander had already predicted this in advance?

He didn't think much about this. Since the commander-in-chief specifically told him to obey Xiao Zhan's orders at critical moments, he naturally did so.

"Is there anything else you want to give me?" Sun Tao looked at Xiao Zhan and asked, not showing any disrespect because he was just a regimental leader.

"No more for now!" Xiao Zhan replied.

Sun Tao nodded. He was not a sloppy person. He immediately came to He Changjun, Deng Gang and others and gave them orders.

Everyone was very confused when they heard that they divided their troops into two groups and went to Qing'an County and Fengcheng respectively. Like Sun Tao, they understood that attacking Qing'an County to rescue the Xia family army would not lead to attacking Fengcheng. Then I don’t understand.

"This is the commander's order. Just obey it, do you hear me?" Sun Tao didn't bother to explain.

Upon hearing the commander's order, everyone was excited, straightened their bodies quickly, and responded: "Yes!"

Next, the Tiandao Army briefly rested for a while and after regaining their energy, they divided into two groups. He Changjun led more than 10,000 troops and secretly went to Qing'an County in a detour to rescue the trapped Xia Jiajun. Sun Tao also led two More than ten thousand people headed to Fengcheng as quickly as possible.
