Chapter 1 The Desolation

It had been raining in Yangcheng since morning. The sky was gloomy, but despite this, the Yan army camp outside the city still showed an extremely clear sense of desolation.

The bustling camp from a few days ago had suddenly quieted down.

General Sun Yuan of the Imperial Guards hesitated for a moment, but decided to send a small group of people in baskets to investigate the situation outside the city. Soon, news came back that the Yan army had withdrawn overnight, leaving only an empty camp.

Sun Yuan immediately reported this military intelligence to the Regent.

The Regent was eating breakfast when Sun Yuan reported.

The Regent said to Sun Yuan:

"In your opinion, have the Yan people outside really withdrawn?"

"The Yan people may have withdrawn, or they may be deliberately creating a false impression, because even if they were going to withdraw, they shouldn't have withdrawn so decisively. Aren't they afraid that we will take the opportunity to kill out of the city and pursue their rear army?"

For those who use troops, offense is a skill, but retreat is also a skill. The former determines the upper limit of a war, while the latter determines the lower limit of a war.

"Has the Qingluan Army arrived?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, judging by the date, the Qingluan Army should be arriving soon. The Yan army may have detected the arrival of the Qingluan Army."

"So, my good brother-in-law chose to retreat in order to avoid the Qingluan Army, or..."

"Reporting to Your Highness, logically speaking, this Yan army has been isolated here for many days, and morale should have been unstable for a long time. Furthermore, the Qingluan Army is coming fiercely, and it is normal for the Yan army to withdraw to protect itself;

However, since the commander of this Yan army is that Earl of Pingye, there may be different changes, so it is also possible that they are not withdrawing, but taking the initiative to launch an attack on the Qingluan Army."

The Regent looked at Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan knelt below with his head lowered.

"So, what exactly did you tell me?"

"..." Sun Yuan remained silent.

The Regent shook his head helplessly. Back then, when Nian Yao was in Sun Yuan's position, this would never have happened.

So, both possibilities exist in your opinion, so what did you come to report to me?

"Step down. Prepare to protect me out of the city and back to the capital."

"Your subject obeys!"

...

Qingluan Army soldiers had already landed in batches from Qingtan. The left army, the first to land, had spread out towards a town outside Qingtan, while the right army had landed across from Qingtan, with a long distance between them. The central army, personally commanded by Qu Peiluo, was now landing.

The Qingluan Army had a total of 35,000 troops rushing here.

The Qu family had been able to maintain the position of Pillar of the State, even after Qu Tiannan and a Qingluan Army were wiped out in Yupancheng. The reason they were still an object that the Regent needed to win over by marrying off his sister was the true foundation of the Qu family.

A family that could raise 100,000 troops in just two or three years would be a top-tier wealthy family in any country.

You must know, even Zheng Boye doesn't have this kind of display right now.

"Peiluo, aren't the left, right, and central armies separated too far apart?"

The one asking the question was a man dressed as a military officer. He was wearing silver armor, looking truly heroic and extraordinary. He had also appeared when Zheng Boye snatched the bride, and was a strong member of the Qu family.

Originally from a collateral line, he had regained his status in the Qu family through his own martial arts talent. Even Qu Peiluo, the嫡 heir, did not dare to be disrespectful to him and treat him as an ordinary family general.

"Uncle Xuan, rest assured. The left army is a newly established one from the year before last. There are still some shadows of the Fan family in it. One of the commanders has long been flirting with the Fan family.

Sailing for a long time, these days, they have been making trouble under my nose. They may really think that I, Qu Peiluo, am an inexperienced kid."

"You could have told me earlier. I could have killed them all."

"No need to kill them. Keep them as bait so that Zheng Fan can take the hook. The Yan are powerful, and that Earl of Pingye is an ambitious person. When he sees the arrival of our Qu family, when he sees our Qingluan Army, when he sees… Qu Peiluo.

He will definitely not be able to resist wanting to take a bite out of me, so I deliberately show him a flaw, let him know when I will arrive, and let him think that biting me is profitable."

Qu Peiluo smiled,

And continued;

"I guess he must be used to stepping on me."

"Some things can be regarded as steps in one's life." Qu Mingxuan said with emotion, "Being blinded by hatred will only make you fall into the other party's trap."

"Uncle Xuan is right."

"You are very good. When others are laughing at you, mocking you, and looking down on you, it is actually your best way to hide yourself. There are also some people in this world who want to hide their clumsiness but cannot."

Qu Peiluo knew what Qu Mingxuan was talking about.

In the Qu family, any secrets of the family could not be hidden from him, the young master.

Even collateral members of the Qu family generally lived quite well. At the very least, the family would not let people go hungry and could get a job of some kind.

However, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. When Qu Mingxuan was young, his father was a small manager in charge of a cart shop in the family. Later, he died in an accident while delivering goods. His uncle occupied his family's land and also tried to take his sister-in-law as his own.

Qu Mingxuan's mother ran to the Qu family ancestral hall to cry and complain. This incident alarmed the elders of the family. Later, the young Qu Mingxuan was arranged by the family to enter the training hall, and his mother was arranged to enter the inner house to be an Ama, or nanny, for the direct descendants.

It can be said that the elders of the Qu family did a good job in this matter. At least, they showed the Qu family's fairness. Even though Qu Mingxuan's uncle did not suffer any punishment, they at least settled his orphaned mother and child down.

Twenty years later, Qu Mingxuan took a knife and灭 killed his uncle's entire family to avenge the hatred of that year.

What followed was the very cliché that family interests came first. This matter was suppressed. No one cared whether that uncle's crimes warranted灭 his entire family, because Qu Mingxuan's potential showed that he had a chance to冲击 become a third-rank martial artist.

And if the Qu family elder who presided over that matter back then had not taken care of them and had turned a deaf ear, perhaps this martial arts genius of the Qu family would not have remained in the Qu family as a "供奉 offering" and would have instead become a wild martial artist in the outside world, viewing the Qu family as a mortal enemy.

"Uncle Xuan is right, Peiluo understands."

"I have high hopes for you. I see my former self in you, even if you are a direct descendant."

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Xuan." Qu Peiluo glanced around and began to issue orders one after another.

There were 6,000 soldiers in the left army. To be honest, Qu Peiluo himself was not sure whether these 6,000 people were good apples mixed with bad ones, or bad apples mixed with good ones. In short, this unit could not be used after the Qu family took action against the Fan family.

They were specially arranged in the protruding position, actually to be used as bait to attract the Yan army to open a breakthrough from here first.

Then,

The right army would detour from the opposite bank to cut off the Yan army's retreat, while he would personally lead the central army to squeeze the Yan army from the front, in order to achieve the goal in one battle.

That's how the battle was to be fought.

Now,

It was actually just to see if the Yan army would take the bait.

But Qu Peiluo felt that

That Earl of Pingye of Yan,

Would definitely take the bait.

………

"This hook is too straight."

Gou Moli ate fried noodles while pointing at the simple and crude map he had drawn and said,

"Boye, look, those who have been sending us messages these days, yesterday, actually all sent messages saying that they will be going to Dahe Town as the vanguard.

Although this subordinate thinks that that Qu family heir is not as wise, courageous, erudite, and broad-minded as Boye,

But the person is at least a direct descendant of the Qu family, and no matter how bad they are, they wouldn't be complete idiots. If that were really the case, then continuing to compare him with Boye would only be污辱玷污 Boye, wouldn't it?”

"Speak human language."

"Um, this subordinate thinks that this is bait, and that Qu Peiluo is probably waiting for us to take the hook."

"Um, what do you think we should do?"

Zheng Boye has always had one advantage, and that is that he is善从如流 good at accepting good advice. Using people well, in fact, he often定位 positions himself as Liu Bang, not Li Shimin.

Most importantly, he has always had someone he could use by his side.

For a dignified 野人 barbarian king to be his military advisor, helping him formulate and design the battlefield layout, this is already an extremely奢侈 luxurious arrangement.

This also indirectly reflects Zheng Boye's respect for that brother of Qu Peiluo.

"This subordinate believes that our army should first treat the left army in Dahe Town as a piece outside the chessboard, we can disregard it. What's left are actually two paths, one is the right army already on the west side of Qingtan, and the other is the central army on the east side of Qingtan, with the most well-organized armor. It should be personally led by Qu Peiluo.

Since that Qu family young master has opened up the formation and deliberately chose this open location, the meaning is already very clear, which is to have us fight, then we will choose one to fight."

Zheng Boye nodded,

Pointed at the sketch drawn with ink,

And said:

"Then, fight the right army?"

………

"Report!!!!!!"

"General Lin's department has detected Yan troops ten miles south!"

General Lin, named Lin Rong, was a household general under Qu Tiannan, and now, he is Qu Peiluo's household general, and he is from a family that has been loyal to the Qu family for generations.

Qu Mingxuan took a deep breath and said:

"The Yan people didn't bite the bait of Dahe Town."

Qu Peiluo smiled and said: "That Earl of Pingye is naturally not an incompetent person. Actually, it is just that my bait was too direct, but this is something that can't be helped."

With the battle about to begin, if he didn't directly place those who might be harboring ill intentions on one side, would he have to keep them in the central army and be wary of them turning against him at any time?

"Can Lin Rong hold on?" Qu Mingxuan asked. He has always been on the path of martial arts cultivation, and he is not very proficient in deploying troops.

In fact, the purpose of his accompanying this trip was to protect Qu Peiluo.

Qu Peiluo shook his head and said: "General Lin should retreat."

"I heard that the Yan people don't have horses this time, they are not cavalry."

Logically speaking, the Qingluan Army should have the advantage in infantry battles.

"The Yan people's military strength is strong, even if they don't have warhorses, the troops that can be led by that Earl of Pingye to penetrate deep into my Chu territory must be elites in the Yan army.

These elites must not be underestimated at any time.

In addition, I want to completely encircle the Yan people on this Qingtan, and I don't want to confront them head-on from the beginning, otherwise the Yan people can completely enter Changxi County from here, pass through Baipu, and enter Daze.

I don't want to have fierce battles in the north in the coming days, while we can only circle around with that group of Yan people in Daze.

Last time, I let that Zheng Fan escape. This time, I must not let him escape again.

Pass the order,

General Lin will follow the pre-arranged plan and retreat to the beachhead after contacting the Yan army, luring the Yan people in!"

……

"Boye, this subordinate thinks that if we attack the Chu people's right army, this Chu army will definitely retreat in order to draw us in."

"So, you don't agree with attacking this right army?"

"Boye, our army does not have as many soldiers as the Chu people. Our only advantage is that our morale is high and our soldiers are brave and elite, so dividing our forces and advancing rashly are both great taboos.

This subordinate feels that that Qu Peiluo is now like an old dame in a red tent, staring at the money in our pockets, standing there and winking vigorously, just waiting for us to go in so she can empty us out.

We,

We just can't do what she wants.

She teases and seduces us to go in, fine, we'll be like those stingy old lecherous customers, you lure me, you tease me, and we'll just enjoy ourselves, accepting your lure and your tease, and from time to time, we'll casually take advantage of the situation, grabbing whatever tofu we can;

She Qu Peiluo can't get angry,

And cover half of her face with a fan as she coyly declines,

And say to us:

You're so annoying~"

"Where did you learn this strange analogy from?"

"Um, Boye, you don't like it?"

"It feels too unserious to use it in war matters. If I learned from you and made this analogy in front of Prince Jingnan, hehe..."

"Boye, aren't we only talking like this among family members? Besides, you are a hero, and compared to you in民间 folk legends and stories, isn't Qu Peiluo just a woman?"

Whose family, if the man had a pair of testicles,

Would allow someone to directly snatch his bride away on his wedding day?

"Alright, alright, I understand what you mean. Let Xue San lead a group of people and create momentum with willow branches and vines to approach the Chu people's right army on the west side of Qingtan, making them think that our army has taken the bait, and let them retreat on their own accord, begging us to enter the tent!

And warn San'er, let him know his limits. He can make contact, but he must not engage in a prolonged battle. After the Chu people's right army retreats, he must also retreat immediately."

………

"Report!!!"

"General Lin reports that the Yan army has retreated and has not entered Qingtan!"

Lin Rong followed the previous instructions and pretended to be defeated after contacting the Yan people, and began to retreat. The Yan people pursued for a short distance and immediately disengaged and retreated back.

The two sides were like two strong men poised and ready, who just kissed each other after colliding, and then immediately jumped back.

Qu Peiluo was no longer sitting on horseback at this time, but was sitting inside a tent.

The chess game of hundreds of thousands of troops is actually not a small chess game. Unless both sides charge directly in one wave and see who lives and who dies, otherwise, this battle will definitely not be too fast.

Furthermore, although he has chosen this Qingtan as the main battlefield, whether to attack or not still depends on the Yan people's intentions, so the actual battlefield space is still very large, and both sides can slowly play tai chi hand-pushing around the ring.

Qu Mingxuan was sitting at the entrance of the tent, and messengers would come in and out of here from time to time, receiving and issuing orders from Qu Peiluo.

"Order Zhang Huang to lead a unit to advance."

Zhang Huang is a general in the central army with 5,000 men under his command.

Inside the tent, a delicate-looking personal soldier was brewing tea, with a small stove gently simmering.

After a long time,

The tea was brewed.

"Master, have some tea."

Qu Peiluo took the tea.

"Lord Xuan, have some tea."

Qu Mingxuan took the tea.

He couldn't stand the atmosphere of having this kind of person in the military tent, but this was a habit that had become natural. Even when Qu Tiannan went on an expedition, there were delicate personal soldiers in the military tent to serve his daily needs.

In Chu, the influence of Jin was not as heavy as in the north, but as nobles, how could they not know how to enjoy themselves?

Women cannot appear in the military camp,

So men are okay, right?

Over time,

This delicate personal soldier may not be needed, may not be to one's taste, but cannot be absent. It has almost become a standard configuration like a military flag.

The tea was good tea, Wenjin tea, which has the effect of refreshing the mind and replenishing qi.

Qu Peiluo looked at the map while drinking tea. In Qu Mingxuan's eyes, he really had the demeanor of his father.

"It seems that the Yan people still haven't taken the bait?"

Qu Mingxuan opened his mouth and said.

Qu Peiluo nodded and took another sip of tea.

Qu Mingxuan said again: "The Yan people are isolated outside, so they must be cautious in everything."

"No, that's not the case, Uncle Xuan. If it were someone else, it would indeed be like this, but the opposite side is Zheng Fan, so he won't be like this. This person's use of troops and warfare is based on that of the Marquis of Nan, and the Marquis of Nan's use of troops has always been characterized by inaction until action, and when he acts, he is like a swift wind.

Furthermore,

Zheng Fan is also a proud and uninhibited person. Back then, on my wedding day, he could have secretly snatched the princess away, but he insisted on taking action in front of the guests on that day, wanting nothing more than fame.

This person either doesn't do things, or when he does, he won't hesitate.

If he doesn't want to fight, he can completely not lead his army to contact our army, and just pat his butt and go to Changxi County.

I just feel like

He wants to devour me,

He is enduring, enduring like an eagle.

It's okay,

I can endure with him,

Let's see who can outlast the other."

………

"The soup needs to be simmered slowly to be fragrant and flavorful. This subordinate has always felt that fighting a war is like simmering soup. You have to fully blend the flavors of the ingredients and seasonings together, and then pick up the bowl to drink it to your heart's content.

This subordinate believes that this Qu Peiluo must be thinking of using this mentality to play with us. The old dame's business is not good, so she will show more patience to every potential customer.

She might even chat with you for a while after you're done, just to retain a repeat customer, so you feel like the money was worth it, and when you go out, your friends are waiting for you instead of you waiting for your friends.

Qu Peiluo separated a part of his central army and pushed it over, actually to beat the grass and scare the rabbits. He is looking for our main force and compressing our space.

He is certain that we must be憋 stifled for a long time, especially since we have also fallen in love with her at first sight and must point her name.

This subordinate suggests that we directly release this army and let them come in. We will neither intercept nor harass them. Let them go all the way south. This subordinate wants to see how far south they can go.

No matter what, we must keep our own fists clenched tightly.

Next,

This subordinate feels that Qu Peiluo will use this deep army as a support point, and his central army and right army will also slowly follow and press up, forcing us to make a choice,

Whether to go to Daze, or to her bed."

"It's a pity you're not in a teahouse telling stories," Zheng Boye said.

"Hehe, I used to make up these stories in Beifeng County to骗騙 the other soldiers out of their wine."

The days in Beifeng County have always been the most beautiful memories in the heart of the 野人 barbarian king. Although life was hard at that time, it was very fulfilling.

At that time, he was learning the tactics of the Zhenbei Army, learning their army management, and at the same time, he left a scar on his face and picked up an embroidered shoe.

"What do we do after they press on?" Zheng Boye asked.

Fighting a war is like setting up a chessboard. Since he agreed and the 野人 barbarian king has already made the first move, replacing people on the spot is equivalent to replacing generals on the battlefield, which is a major taboo in military affairs.

Zheng Boye would not make this mistake. He would only watch, listen, and put it nicely, it's called checking for gaps, and put it bluntly, it's called混 fooling around in a serious manner.

"We will continue to retreat and compress. We will be patient and not fight;

Boye, you see, from Qingtan to Dahe Town, this area is a扇形 fan. When the Chu army continues to advance to the south, we will be like squeezed into the gap between their central army and right army.

This place is equivalent to a person's chest, as long as this knife is stabbed, the situation can be reversed in an instant."

"But at the same time, this place is also the most dangerous. Once our position is discovered by the Chu people, we will immediately face an夹击 attack from the Chu people's right army and central army.

At the same time, the left army in Dahe Town, since Qu Peiluo singled them out as bait, must have made certain arrangements. At a critical moment, they can also be used, and after seeing us in a颓勢 slump, those who were originally摇擺 uncertain, or even submitted "投诚" surrender letters, may fight even harder than others;

Qu Peiluo can completely use this left army to encircle our retreat after the right army and central army complete their夹击 attack on us.

At that time, it will be really difficult for us to escape."

After all, if it were before, the Yan army would be mainly cavalry, and there would be many ways to break out of the encirclement, and they could do it very calmly, but now, Zheng Boye's cavalry can only be used as sentries. If nothing unexpected happens, he doesn't even have as much cavalry as Qu Peiluo's side.

Zheng Boye, who is used to cavalry warfare, will inevitably have some rhythm inconsistencies when facing the current situation.

"Boye..." Gou Moli looked embarrassed.

"If you have something to say, what's the point of you hiding it at this moment?"

"This is not a word of battlefield planning."

"Tell me," Zheng Boye smiled, "Actually, we like to say those irrelevant words when we are doing serious things the most."

The Sword Saint, who had been closing his eyes and resting his mind, nodded slightly when he heard this.

He had discovered it long ago,

And he had long gotten used to it.

For example, when making the last round of charge, Zheng Boye would ask Si娘 what kind of topping she wanted to put on her noodles at night?

And Xue San and Fan Li would seriously argue over which topping to choose.

Gou Moli nodded,

And said:

"Please also ask your lord to give Gouzi me this opportunity. I, Gouzi, am best at reversing the situation in this kind of situation. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. Only there can we have the opportunity to血放干 bleed him dry with one knife!"

Zheng Boye frowned slightly when he heard this.

Gou Moli stared at Zheng Boye's face and pursed his lips.

Zheng Boye took a breath and slowly exhaled,

And reached out

And pointed towards the north

And said:

"I believe that the opposite Qu Peiluo should know that I want to踩踏 step on him to death. Although I snatched his wife, although I made him look丑 ugly in front of everyone in the world, I can't help but want to go up and 踩踏 step on him again when I see him again.

He is really pitiful, but this Boye really can't help it.

Maybe,

He just owes it to be 踩踏 stepped on."

Gou Moli nodded.

"Okay, you will command, I will only ask, but I will not change your order. My only requirement is to give this Boye a chance to踩踏 step on him again, and 踩踏 step his face into the mud of this Qingtan!"

"Boye, rest assured, this subordinate will definitely do it!"

Immediately,

The 野人 barbarian king said to the guards beside Zheng Boye:

"Pass on Boye's order, order our people to shrink back and not to contact the Chu people."

The guard glanced at Zheng Boye, and only when he saw Zheng Boye nodded did he respond with a "喏 yes."

After the order was issued,

Gou Moli licked his lips

And said:

"This subordinate has been tossing around for most of his life, it's understandable that I can't win against Boye, but how could a small Qu family heir be able to play with me?

The sky is already getting dark. He will become impatient and start to suspect whether we have really changed our normal style and left after拍拍屁股 patting our butts."

………

"Yan people, really gone?"

Teams of messengers came back, constantly informing Qu Peiluo of the situation from the battlefield.

But the situation on the battlefield was actually… no situation.

The Yan people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

It was as if the contact with the right army earlier was only the rearguard of the Yan people. After General Lin ordered a retreat, that rearguard immediately disengaged from the battlefield and chased after the main force.

This should be the most reasonable explanation,

Otherwise, you can't explain why the fact that no Yan army has been searched is still true.

Yes, after Zhang Huang's troops advanced south without encountering Yan resistance and harassment, Qu Peiluo ordered Zhang Huang's troops to stop. Then, his central army and right army and other troops began to slowly press up together.

Starting from Qingtan, connecting Dahe Town as a point, it was like a plow that began to cultivate this area.

Qu Mingxuan sighed and said;

"The Yan people may have really run away."

Although this result was very cruel, because it meant that the dignified Qu family young master had been fighting wits with the air on this Qingtan, and had瞎折腾 messed around with the army after a long expedition.

This was no longer a joke, but would greatly打击 damage Qu Peiluo's prestige in the Qingluan Army.

Because the soldiers would never be willing to follow a stupid commander to fight a war.

Why was the Nan侯 Marquis of Nan of Yan able to be loved by his subordinates despite滅 killing his entire family and having strict military laws?

Because he had been victorious in every battle!

"There is another possibility..."

Qu Peiluo gritted his teeth

And looked down at the map again

And said:

"The Yan people have shrunk back. Maybe they are right under our noses. We will be able to find them with just a little more time, before the second half of the night.

They want to wait for a field battle, wait for a night attack. They are deliberately waiting for this node that we least expected!"

Qu Peiluo's eyes began to turn red.

It has to be said

He guessed right

And the basis for his guess was not because of his military expertise, or how strong his foresight as a commander was, but because he understood Zheng Fan very well.

If Qu Peiluo was somewhat unconvinced in the past when the Earl of Pingye started his career based on military achievements and ranked among the four young generals of the younger generation alongside Nian Yao, then after Zheng Boye snatched the princess, Qu Peiluo did not sink into decline. Of course, he was also confused and uncomfortable for a while. Then, he began to use all the power of his family to collect all the deeds and rumors about the Earl of Pingye from Beifeng County to Xuehai Pass.

He wanted to fully understand and be familiar with this man,

Because he had a预感 premonition that

In the future, he would meet this man again. At that time, he would have the opportunity to find back all the dignity he had lost in this man.

The more he understood this man, the more terrifying he found him to be.

Because

This man

Was impeccable, even优中选优 the best of the best in terms of political scheming, military affairs, and people's livelihood;

Field battles and sieges could all be called masterpieces;

His talent, poetry, and personal strength were also amazing.

Although he wrote very few poems, each one was a classic, especially "Zheng Zi's Art of War," which was an overview of the synthesis of the art of war;

There were even rumors that every time he charged into battle, arrows would be added to his body and he would ignore them, and assassins would approach his face and he would remain calm;

The Sword Saint of Jin stayed by his side because he could give the Sword Saint guidance in swordsmanship!

Perhaps Zheng Boye himself did not expect what a tall and伟岸 lofty image he was in Qu Peiluo's heart.

Therefore

Qu Peiluo did not believe that Zheng Boye was actually leading his army to run into Daze without even fighting him!

I am here

I am here

How can you resist not hitting me and coming to踩踏 step on me again?

Qu Mingxuan thought that Qu Peiluo was going into a dead end, and couldn't help but said: "Peiluo, if that is really the case, isn't he walking right into the trap?"

Compressing the range of forces and waiting to be包饺子 enveloped?

Although Qu Mingxuan was not proficient in military affairs, he also knew that the Earl of Pingye of Da Yan was by no means someone who did not know how to fight a war. In fact, he was better at fighting a war than most generals in the world, how could he do such a stupid thing as concentrating all his forces around himself so that he could feel safe?

"No, no, no, he won't escape, he won't escape, he must be planning something, he must be plotting something!"

………

"What exactly are you planning?"

Zheng Boye couldn't help but ask.

Because the scouts who were constantly coming in to report were already telling him how close the Chu army's military might was to him.

It can be said that

It was really only a matter of time before the Chu people discovered this army.

It would not be surprising even if they were discovered in the next moment.

To捅刀子 stab someone, you have to choose a time. It's not like you can just stab someone and it will hurt. Qu Peiluo is not a fool, and the Qingluan Army is not a disorganized mob.

"This subordinate remembers that Boye once said a sentence, that is, the person who knows you best is often your enemy."

"Yes, I said that."

"So, this subordinate can imagine how terrifying Boye must be in Qu Peiluo's eyes."

"Now is the time to say this?"

"Boye, please come out with this subordinate."

Zheng Boye and Gou Moli left the tent and discovered that five soldiers wearing Chu armor were kneeling on the ground. To be precise, the armor on their bodies was not the armor of ordinary Chu soldiers, not even the armor of ordinary imperial guards, but the armor of the real imperial guards who guarded the imperial city.

When launching a突襲 surprise attack on the outskirts of Juyang City, two units specializing in helping the Regent deliver memorials were stationed in the camps south and north of the city. Although some of them escaped, most of them were still left behind, but basically, they were killed, not captured.

The imperial guards were undoubtedly loyal.

Right now, these five soldiers were actually Yan people wearing their armor.

Gou Moli asked: "Have you memorized everything?"

"We have memorized everything!"

"We have memorized everything!"

"Have you hidden the medicine well between your teeth?"

"We have hidden it well!"

"We have hidden it well!"

"Good, you all have parents and siblings in Xuehai Pass. Today, Boye's great cause needs you to make sacrifices, but rest assured, Boye will treat your family like his own children."

"We will die for Boye!"

"We will die for Boye!"

The soldiers who came out of Xuehai Pass were sincerely willing to go through fire and water for Zheng Boye. Their ideological and political awareness was definitely up to standard, and they and their families had also personally experienced the kind of life that the people of Xuehai Pass lived.

"Go, for Boye!"

"喏 yes!"

"喏 yes!"

The five soldiers turned over and mounted their horses, left the camp, and followed a small team of cavalry.

Zheng Boye's cavalry was very precious right now and he was reluctant to use them easily, but now, he had撒洒 scattered a third of them.

Gou Moli looked at Zheng Fan

And grinned

And said:

"This鍋 pot of soup is just missing this one, the most important ingredient, before it can be taken out of the pot. Boye, this subordinate guarantees your satisfaction."

"The Regent will not come to rescue, nor will he use the troops guarding him in Juyang City to attack our army's retreat," Zheng Boye said. "This is common sense, he is the Emperor."

Gou Moli shook his head,

And said:

"Boye, in front of you, common sense doesn't work."

"You're betting on that?"

"This subordinate is betting on people's hearts."

………

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

A team of cavalry was chasing another team of cavalry with very few people.

They chased into Zhang Huang's army

"Save驾 the emperor!" "Save驾 the emperor!" "Save驾 the emperor!"

The knights who were being chased in front shouted hoarsely.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Two knights were shot and fell off their horses.
