    After the emperor's order came down, the morale of the Persian knights became even stronger.

    Wealth, beauty and countless slaves are right in front of them. They can't wait and want to rob everything in the east.

    Groups of camel cavalry and horse cavalry cheered up and headed towards Shule City.

    Hades said nothing more, and rode his horse with his head held high, walking down the mountain.

    Sima Yi, who originally had deep fears, seemed to be infected by the Persians' self-confidence. Gradually, an inexplicable self-confidence burned in his chest.

    "Three hundred thousand cavalry, an overwhelming advantage. In the face of this absolute power, any conspiracy is useless. Even if Yan Liang is extremely cunning, there is nothing he can do"

    As his thoughts rolled around, the worries in Sima Yi's heart were swallowed up by the powerful strength of the Persian army.

    After a while, Sima Yi¡¯s face was full of confidence, and his lips were filled with a hint of pride.

    He glanced toward the east with his wolf eyes, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Yan Liang, you took my country, owned my wife, and killed my son. This blood feud, I, Sima Yi, will soon ask you to repay tenfold. You wait.  Come on."

    With a cold smile on his face, Sima Yi turned his horse and followed Hades.

    Three hundred thousand troops crossed the Congling Mountains and headed straight for Shule.

    The Jin Yiwei deployed in the Congling area worked carefully, how could they not discover such an army of unprecedented scale? An urgent secret report of 100,000 people was quickly sent to the Chu army camp on a starry and night journey.

    That afternoon, Yan Liang was still convening civil and military officials in the imperial tent to discuss how to cross the Shule River.

    At this moment, Ma Su hurried in and delivered a secret report to Yan Liang with a solemn expression.

    Yan Liang opened the secret report and scanned it, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

    The ministers on the left and right seemed to have a premonition, and their nerves immediately became tense.

    Yan Liang's brows relaxed in the blink of an eye, and he just threw the secret report on the case.  He said calmly: "It's no big deal, the main Persian army is coming soon."

    The main Persian force is coming!

    Although the generals had already prepared, when they heard the news, everyone's expressions couldn't help but change slightly.

    "Youchang, how many Persians have come this time?" Zhao Yun asked.

    "Twenty-seven or eighty thousand, either camels or horses, basically no infantry. Even the slaves who transported the baggage all rode camels." Ma Su replied in a serious tone.

    The expressions of the generals were shocked again, and there was a trace of gloom in everyone's brows.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT? That out is just a bluff, and it would be good to have 100,000 cavalry among them.

    Now the facts prove it.  Their guess was wrong. The Persians actually had 300,000 cavalry.

    Three hundred thousand cavalry, what is the concept? You know, even when the Huns were at their strongest, they could only get up to three hundred thousand cavalry at most.

    When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was at its most powerful, he used the power of the whole country to conquer the country.  Only then did they defeat the Huns.

    Today¡¯s Great Chu State¡¯s population, economic strength, and military strength are far inferior to those during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

    But the enemy Da Chu had to deal with was the Persian cavalry of 300,000, which was comparable to the Huns in their heyday.

    Even though the generals dominate the world and are almost invincible, they have to admit it.  The upcoming enemy may be the most powerful enemy they have ever encountered in their lives.

    "The Persians really have 300,000 cavalry. This is really a large number." Guo Jia touched his horse and murmured to himself. Apart from Yan Liang, he was the most indifferent person.

    Yan Liang glanced at Guo Jia.  Prepare to search for some strategies to defeat the enemy from this wise mind.

    At this time, Pound suddenly stood up and shouted: "So what if the Persians have 300,000 cavalry. We are still afraid of him. Your Majesty, we just have to fight them."

    Pang De was furious and caused a wave of passion.

    Zhang Liao also said boldly: "What Ling Ming said is true. Back then, with a few thousand soldiers and horses, His Majesty was able to wipe out all the heroes in the world. Now that he has conquered the world, are he still afraid of the mere Persian barbarians? If they dare to come, we dare to destroy them."  them."

    The enthusiasm and generosity of the two top generals dispelled the gloom in the hearts of the generals. All generals became more motivated and shouted for a fight to the death.

    Looking at the high-spirited generals, Yan Liang nodded happily.

    He waved his hand to suppress the anger of the generals and said calmly: "Not to mention the three hundred thousand Persian army, even if there are one million, I will not frown. I am very happy that you have such blood.  But you can't win the battle with enthusiasm alone, you have to take a long-term approach.Discuss.  "

    The excitement of the generals gradually calmed down.

    "Fengxiao, I see you are thoughtful, do you have any clever ideas to defeat the enemy?" Yan Liang looked at Guo Jia.

    Guo Jia coughed a few times and said slowly: "The Shule River is difficult to cross for a moment. It seems that we cannot capture Shule City before the arrival of the main Persian force. And once the main Persian force enters Shule, we will just wait and see.  The plan will be completely reversed, and the initiative will be taken away by the Persians. "

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, how could he not know Guo Jia's analysis.

    "At that time, there were 300,000 Persian cavalry, and they were backed by Shule's grain and grass. With our current strength, we probably had no chance of winning. I think it's time for a strategic retreat," Guo Jia said.  His plan.

    "Strategic retreat?" Yan Liang's eyes moved and he quickly guessed the point.

    Guo Jia continued: "I believe that our army should retreat at this point. The entire army will withdraw to Yumen Pass and meet up with the following infantry. All the people in the cities in the Western Regions passed along the way will rush to Liangzhou, and all supplies that can be eaten and used will be sent to Liangzhou.  Carry them all away, and burn those that cannot be carried away, leaving nothing behind for the Persians"

    "The Persians came from afar, and logistical supplies were already difficult. If you add in the thousands of miles of the Western Regions, their supply lines will be even longer. If they cannot plunder food and grass from the Western Regions, it will not take long before they are bound to be in shortage of food and grass, and their military morale will be ruined.  At that time, if I raise my cavalry army again and leave Yumen Pass, are I still afraid that I will not be able to defeat the 300,000 Persian cavalry? "

    Yan Liang¡¯s quick thinking helped Guo Jia complete his entire plan.

    Guo Jia smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty takes charge of the overall situation. There is no need for me to say more. This is what I mean."

    "What do you think?" Yan Liang turned his attention to the generals.

    Zhao Yundao: "The Persian cavalry has a large number, which is their advantage, but the long food road and difficulty in supply are their disadvantages. This plan uses my strengths to attack their weaknesses, and I think it is feasible."

    "That's what I say, but as soon as the main Persian force arrives, we retreat in large strides. Isn't this losing the prestige of the Chu country." Pang De worried.

    Yan Liang sneered and said disapprovingly: "Today we have lost three points of our national prestige, but tomorrow we will fight back tenfold. This war with Persia is about the final result, not a temporary loss of face."

    Yan Liang's words dispelled the worries of the generals, and the thoughts of these important ministers in the tent gradually became one.

    Yan Liang stood up vigorously and said loudly: "It's settled. According to my decree, the entire army will withdraw to Yumen. On the way back to the army, all the people and food that can be eaten will be swept away by me.  Those who don¡¯t leave will be burned. I won¡¯t leave a grain of rice or a sheep to the Persians.¡±

    The intention to return to the army soon spread throughout the army.

    Dozens of messengers on Pegasus went out first and rushed to Shache, Jingjue, Loulan and other cities in advance. They ordered the infantry guards to drive the male and female slaves from the Western Regions to Yumen Pass and sweep away everything that could be eaten.

    At the same time, Yan Liang also sent people to the North Road of the Western Regions and ordered Wen Chou to withdraw his troops.

    Two days later, Yan Liang left more than 10,000 troops and horses and continued to bluff on the south bank of Shule. Yan Liang led the main force to leave the camp at starry night and retreat to Yumen Pass.

    When passing through Jingjue City, Yan Liang set fire to the entire oil field in order to avoid leaving the oil to the Persians.

    Therefore, more than 70,000 Chu cavalrymen from the north and south of the Western Region quickly withdrew from the occupied areas and withdrew towards Yumen Pass.

    In the cities of the Western Region, hundreds of thousands of slaves and millions of cattle and sheep were all driven to the pass.

    At the same time, the order to increase troops was also transmitted back to the pass. Generals such as Taishi Ci, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Guo Huai, and Zhu Huan also led more than 100,000 infantry troops to assemble in the direction of Dunhuang County from all directions.

    Yan Liang knew very well that 70,000 cavalry alone could not destroy the Persian army. He had to gather more troops. Since Dachu did not have that many cavalry, he could only rely on infantry to fill the vacancy.

    On the tenth day after the Chu army withdrew, the Persian Emperor Hades personally led 100,000 Chinese cavalry and rushed to Shule City after a long journey.

    King Hundu of Shule, as well as the heads of the countries who fled to Shule, all ten miles away from the city, knelt down to welcome Hades' arrival.

    Looking at the tens of thousands of Persian cavalry approaching in a mighty manner, the endless team and the flags that covered the sky and the sun all shocked the nobles of the Western Region of Hundu.

    "The Persian army is so majestic and powerful. The Chu army must be no match. There is hope for us to regain the lost territory." Hundu said excitedly to the nobles of the countries.

    The nobles were also very excited and looked at the Persian army eagerly, as if they were hoping for a savior.

    After a while, the bodyHades, who was wearing golden armor and carrying a double-pronged spear, came with his head held high, surrounded by a team of Black knights.

    "Hundu of Shule Kingdom, and the heads of other countries in the Western Regions, respectfully welcome His Majesty the Emperor of Persia." Hundu knelt down and shouted long live to everyone.

    The lords of the Western Regions were extremely humble and eagerly welcomed the arrival of the savior in their hearts.

    Hades only glanced at them and said coldly: "A bunch of useless trash, come on, let me capture them all."

    As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Hundu and other nobles from the Western Regions all changed with surprise.

    Before they could react, a group of Persian soldiers rushed forward and tied up dozens of people below Hundu.

    "Your Majesty, why is this? Why are you doing this to us?" Hundu shouted in surprise and confusion.

    Hades gave a sly smile and said indifferently: "I am just using you to hold Yan Liang back and buy time for me. Now that I have arrived with my army, what's the use of you wastes."
