Chongxi [rebirth]

This? No outsider can know how passionate the evening tent is.

It's just that when the generals ordered their soldiers before dawn, they saw their prince sending the princess out - the team transporting the luggage had to return early, and set off before dawn.Ye Yunting had to go with them, so he got up early.

He was still a little sleepy when he got on the horse, his eyelids drooped sleepily, and he bid farewell to Li Fengqi.

Li Fengqi was a little bit reluctant in his heart, and almost wanted to ask him to stay, but his reason stopped him? He opened his mouth, but he could only hold his hand and squeeze it a few times, and whispered: "Write to me when you go back." , I will attack Jizhou as soon as possible.”

Are these words extremely insane? If Yin Chengwu heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would jump his feet again.

But Ye Yunting didn't think so, he nodded solemnly: "I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in Weizhou."

Did the two have a chat? After a few words, the team set off.Ye Yunting rode his horse forward and walked a long way. When he looked back, he was still standing there, looking at this side from a distance, his figure was coated with soft fur edges by the surrounding fire.

Li Fengqi didn't look away until the person was gone.Jiang Shu, who had been waiting by his side for a long time, stepped forward and reported: "There was movement on the opposite side last night, and Yin Chengwu couldn't help it."

Li Fengqi closed his eyes in deep thought, and called several generals to the tent of the Chinese army.

……

Unsurprisingly, Yin Chengwu made a move in the evening.

Usually, this time is the time when the Northern Xinjiang Army eats dinner. The food in the army has been good these days, so the whole camp is full of joy and relaxation at the same time.Yin Chengwu just saw it right? At this time, he launched a surprise attack, trying to catch him off guard.

However, the response of the Northern Xinjiang Army was faster than he expected. They did not panic when encountering a surprise attack, and immediately formed their formations and began to fight back.

When the two armies handed over, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Just when the battle was in full swing, Li Fengqi looked at the calm and relaxed Yin Chengwu, and squinted his eyes: "Yin Chengwu is holding back? This is how much he can do for so many days?" A strange look flashed across his eyes. , Quickly recalled the terrain in his mind, and immediately ordered Jiang Shu to secretly lead a team to the rear: "Pass the order, and look at the food and grass in the rear."

They are backed by Zhouju Town, while Zhouju Town is surrounded by cascading mountains.The mountains are not too high, but because one mountain is connected to another, and the ravines and steep slopes are everywhere, it is difficult to travel.Instead, the continuous mountains have become a natural barrier.

But if Yin Chengwu sent people to take the road from the mountains and go around to the rear, they would be able to reach Zhouju Town directly.

Although Li Fengqi felt that Yin Chengwu was much worse than his father, he never underestimated the enemy.He was sitting in front, and Jiang Shu quickly led the small passers-by to the rear to deploy defenses.

And, as expected, Yin Chengwu made a plan to make a fuss.

The battlefield ahead was fierce, but the elite troops of the Jizhou Army were dispatched to the rear, passed through the mountains, and went around to the rear to take Zhouju Town, preparing to draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot and encircle them front and back.

It's a pity that Li Fengqi had been on guard for a long time, Yin Chengwu could not steal chickens and lost money, and most of the elite were folded in the mountains.

Li Fengqi ordered people to send the heads of the generals leading the team to the front of the formation, and said with his lips curled up: "General Yin gave me a big gift, and I will return a gift as a courtesy."

As soon as the words fell and raised their hands, some soldiers came out with two heads on a tray, and delivered them to the Jizhou army confidently.

Yin Chengwu looked at the dying general, and then thought of the broken elite, his heart ached, but probably because he had suffered a lot these days, he was no longer angry at the top of his head, just closed his eyes, and looked deeply. Li Fengqi took one look and withdrew his troops.

Hearing that the front line was defeated again, Yin Xiaozhi finally couldn't sit still, and rode his horse to the camp.

Yin Chengwu no longer had the conceit he had before, when he saw Yin Xiaozhi, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Did you underestimate the enemy?"

He had never fought against King Yong'an before, and even though his father praised the opponent's unpredictable use of troops several times, he still sneered.King Yong'an is not yet thirty, he is young and energetic, so how powerful can he be?

But? There are no heroes at the time, which made Shuzi famous.

But it was only after they met each other that he realized how difficult King Yong'an was.Is it still less than half a month old, and the hearts of the soldiers have loosened up a lot, and there are even a lot of complaints.And all of this is bestowed by King Yong'an.He had to re-examine his opponent.

Seeing that he still knew to admit his mistake, Yin Xiaozhi's expression became much more relaxed, and he said: "King Yong'an's military accomplishments are still higher than mine. Whether it is a head-on confrontation or a roundabout tactic, the probability of our victory is not high."

The northern border army was brave, and King Yong'an used his troops like a god.

On the surface, there is not much difference in the number of people between Jizhou and Weizhou, but it is only when they really fight that they know the difference.If they were head-to-head, their chances of losing would be even greater.

"Then what should we do? We can't surrender without a fight." Yin Chengwu frowned. He was more than a year older than Li Fengqi, let alone his father. Whether he or his father came forward to make peace, the Yin family couldn't lose it. from this person.And once you admit defeat... people's hearts will disperse.

"The current strategy is to use strength to break the strategy." Yin Xiaozhi said in a deep voice, "We may not be able to win because of the same strength. But if there are more than [-] soldiers and horses, the chances of winning will be much higher."

One? Breaking through ten meetings, he did not believe that there would be an extra one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and there was no chance of winning.And they don't need to defeat the opponent, as long as they force Li Fengqi to dare not attack easily again, the goal will be achieved.

"Father mean to borrow Lu Zhou's troops?" Yin Chengwu hesitated and said, "But the person we sent hasn't replied so far. I'm afraid Qi Dian has already had a different heart."

Yin Xiaozhi laughed: "Why do you think I came here in a hurry?" He stroked his beard and smiled: "Luzhou has a reply, and Qi Dian sent a letter to him, saying that he promised to send troops to help. But because Luzhou has been greatly affected by the snowstorm, the army also lacks food and clothing, so we need to support [-] winter clothes and [-] stones of food and grass."

"He is taking advantage of the fire to rob!" Yin Chengwu looked worried: "Besides, it's just food and grass? Where can we find so many winter clothes?"

"It's not really a lion's mouth, it was also said in the reply? Luzhou's situation is indeed not very good." Yin Xiaozhi said slowly: "Although Qi Dian was once my confidant and lieutenant general, he has an upright personality and admits death. I was afraid that he would not I was willing to join forces to start an incident, and if something bad happened, I put Lu Zhou aside. Now the imperial court is afraid of Lu Zhou because of the relationship between Qi Dian and me. Maybe Qi Dian can't hold on anymore, and is also cold? Heart, you can only rely on us."

Although Qi Dian asked for a lot this time, for the Yin family, it was just a little heartache, and it didn't hurt the bones.If they can persuade Qi Dian to send troops and force King Yong'an to retreat, it will be a good deal for them.

Yin Chengwu thought about it for a while, and said: "Food and grass can be given, but there must be a regulation. If the grain and grass are given? He shrinks back but doesn't send troops. We can't ask for it back."

Yin Xiaozhi also had this concern, so he discussed the detailed regulations with him.

In the end, it was decided to send another confidant to act as an envoy, secretly going to Luzhou with a secret letter and a batch of food and grass.

In the letter, they agreed to Qi Dian's request, but on the grounds that the amount of winter clothes, food and grass was too large to raise and would be easily detected by Weizhou, they only sent a small part to make a deposit, and the rest of the majority, the letter stated When forced to retreat? Queen Yong'an, make up for it.

……

Four days had passed when Qi Dian saw the Jizhou envoy.

After inspecting and accepting the grain and grass, he gratefully welcomed the envoy into the Governor's Mansion, but when he turned his head and entered the study, his complexion sank: "Five thousand winter clothes, thirty thousand stones of grain and grass. It's more expensive than calling a beggar. Be generous."

He has always known that Zhongzhou and Jizhou are direct descendants, Luzhou can't compare, and he doesn't want to.

But who would have thought that the Yin family would cut Luzhou's military expenditure again and again? If the Yin family hadn't withheld nearly half of the food and salaries allocated by the previous court, Luzhou would not have almost survived the cold winter.

Are you begging him now? He is still so arrogant.

He knew that no matter how much he asked, with Yin Xiaozhi's temperament, he would not pay enough, so he opened his mouth deliberately.He thought that the Yin family didn't promise to give enough, but half or half.After all, the situation in Jizhou is urgent now.

Who knew that the Yin family didn't take him seriously at all.Take this little thing to get rid of? Him.Not as many as Weizhou sent.

Qi Dian's confidant also felt chilling, no matter how patient Lu Zhou was in the past, he was worthless for the governor.Fortunately, they no longer need to look up to the Yin family, so they whispered to persuade: "Although it is less, it is free. It can last for a while."

"That's right." Qi Dian closed his eyes, handed a secret letter to his confidant, and said, "The Yin family is not benevolent, so you can't blame me for being unrighteous?"

***

Yin Xiaozhi took command of the central army, and finally regained some morale.

The two armies have confronted each other several times, and it is still the northern Xinjiang that wins more and loses less.

However, Yin Xiaozhi was not in a hurry. After receiving a reply from Lu Zhou a few days later, he said, "You can do it now?"

Qi Dian replied that one hundred thousand troops had secretly rushed to Mount Ququ in batches, and set up a net on Mount Ququ. As long as Yin Xiaozhi could lead the northern army to Mount Ququ.The encirclement of the two armies will surely catch them by surprise.

"Tomorrow, we will pull out the camp, pretend to be invincible, and retreat to Mount Ququ."

Ququ Mountain is a mountain range in the north of Jizhou, adjacent to Luzhou.Due to the steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yin Xiaozhi led his troops to retreat, which did not arouse any suspicion.

The next day, Yin Chengwu personally led the troops into battle.

After half a day of fierce fighting, the decline gradually became apparent.On the other hand, the Northern Border Army is fighting more and more courageously, and has the momentum to wipe them all out.Seeing this, Yin Xiaozhi had no choice but to order the camp to be pulled out and retreated in the direction of Ququ Mountain.

Jiang Shu stared at the Jizhou army fleeing towards Mount Ququ, dumbfounded, and said, "This is quite similar."

If they hadn't got Qi Dian's secret letter long ago, they might have thought that the Yin family and his son were afraid of being beaten and would run away.

Li Fengqi looked at the hurried figures of soldiers in Jizhou, and waved his long knife: "Chasing!"

A chase battle begins from then on.

The Jizhou army fled ahead, and the Northern Xinjiang army chased after them.Yin Chengwu was like fishing, his speed fluctuated from time to time, creating a tendency of being powerless, so that he could lure Li Fengqi to chase after them.

Their destination is a valley in Ququ Mountain.

The valley is extremely wide, with rolling mountains on both sides, and only the front and back are passages.According to the plan, they led the northern army into the valley, blocking the way forward, while Qi Dian made a surprise attack from the rear, blocking the way out, just in time to catch a turtle in an urn.

Looking at the valley that was getting closer and closer, Yin Chengwu's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he ordered to speed up.

The Jizhou Army accelerated into the valley, and the Beijiang Army that was chasing behind seemed hesitant. When Yin Chengwu was worried that Li Fengqi would be suspicious and would not catch up easily, he saw Jiang Shu, who was beside him, chasing him in with half of his troops.

Seeing Wu Yangyang's pursuers, Yin Chengwu spat out, and there was a faint taste of saltiness in his mouth.

Forget it, just can't kill him today? Li Fengqi, even if he can kill half of the troops, he can also seriously hurt his vitality.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao's cry sounded in the valley, three short and one long, it was the secret signal that Qi Dian had agreed with them.Yin Chengwu looked happy, and when he passed the order, he saw the military flag swinging, and all the Jizhou troops who had been fleeing in a panic stopped and arranged their formation in an orderly manner.

Jiang Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then said loudly: "Why don't you run away? Are your legs and feet not working anymore when you get older?"

Yin Chengwu snorted, and raised his voice: "Qi Dian, what are you doing hiding?!"

After the words fell, black soldiers appeared on the mountains on both sides and behind the valley. Under the warm light of the torches, the sharp arrows shone coldly.

Yin Chengwu laughed: "Of course we don't have to run away..." He paused, "Because it's you who should run away."

He raised his hand and said in a hateful voice: "Shoot the arrows and kill them all."

However, after the words were finished, the arrow that was shining with cold light did not move at all.Yin Chengwu's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and the hairs on his back stood on end. He raised his voice and shouted sharply, "Qi Dian!"

However, no one responded to him. On the contrary, there was an obvious vibration from the ground, and the soldiers in the rear came to report, with trembling voices: "General, general, we are surrounded, and the northern army is behind us!"

Yin Xiaozhi's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he already understood that he had been slapped. He said, "Qi Dian voted? King Yong'an!"

They thought they were the hunters who set the trap, but they didn't know that they were the prey.

Jiang Shu clasped his hands in his arms and said with a smile: "You are already surrounded. If you don't want to die, you can surrender yourself. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Jizhou soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and discussions suddenly broke out.

Yin Chengwu sternly shouted? Several times, but he couldn't stop the broken morale of the army.

After a while, someone threw away the weapon and took off the armor.With his hands raised high, he walked towards the Northern Border Army tremblingly.

One day, then two, one after another Jizhou soldiers chose to surrender, and Jiang Shu did as he said, opened up a road to let these surrendered Jizhou soldiers leave the valley.

Two quarters of an hour later, the number of people in the valley decreased by half or half.

The remaining half, under the lure of high-ranking officials of the Yin family and his son, chose to stay.

Jiang Shu grinned and blew a whistle. In an instant, arrows rained down like rain.

After a while of panic, Yin's father and son ordered their soldiers to set up shields to block most of the arrows. Seeing that the rain of arrows could not hurt them, Jiang Shu immediately led his men to kill them as soon as they got caught in the horse's belly.

In the valley, the two armies met on a narrow road.

All the front and back retreats were blocked, and the Jizhou army trapped in the valley had no choice but to fight to the death.
