In this battle, Pan Deren's three legions of 300,000 troops suffered heavy losses. In the end, after collecting the scattered soldiers, he counted and found that the entire 300,000 troops were less than tens of thousands, and two-thirds of them The soldiers fell forever in this valley. This can be said to be Pan Deren's biggest defeat since his debut. This time, Tianfeng Kingdom gave the extremely rampant coalition forces of the two countries a big slap in the face, allowing them to I know that no matter how chaotic the Tianfeng Kingdom is, it is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched by just anyone. Pan Deren gathered the fleeing troops and headed toward the main camp of the coalition forces in embarrassment. What awaits him in the future may be harsh military tactics from the two countries. . . . . . . . . Let¡¯s talk about Prince Jingchou¡¯s army. Under the leadership of Su Chengyun, the Western Route Army of the allied forces that invaded Tianqing Prefecture left Shanyue Prefecture and went straight to Gusu Prefecture in Tianqing Prefecture. After entering Gusu Prefecture, there was a vast plain in front of them. Su Chengyun The 200,000-strong army did not dare to rush towards the hinterland of Tianqing Prefecture. Su Chengyun was originally suspicious by nature. This time, he did not encounter any resistance after leading the army into Tianqing Prefecture. This is absolutely impossible. According to him, Knowing that Xiao Tianci had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, it was impossible not to keep them out of Tianqing Province, but to just let them march in, so Su Chengyun suspected that there must be some conspiracy. Therefore, after the army entered Tianqing Prefecture, they marched step by step and walked cautiously. "Qiao Yu, have the spies sent out come back?" On the official road leading to Gusu City, the capital of Gusu Prefecture, the endless army could be seen. Su Chengyun rode on a war horse and faced his colleagues with a stern expression. He walked side by side with Lin Qiao and asked. " "Brother, the spies have returned from their inquiries. I was planning to report back to you on what I learned. "Lin Qiaomu responded. "Oh, how is the situation ahead now? "Su Chengyun snorted and asked quickly. "Brother, the situation ahead is very strange. According to the news from the spies, they did not encounter an enemy along the way, and there was no movement at all for hundreds of miles. . Lin Qiaoyu frowned and said, "In addition, several villages on this official road are now deserted." It should have been ordered by Xiao Tianci to evacuate them all. " After listening to Lin Qiaoyu's words, Su Chengyun also frowned. He pondered for a moment and muttered: "What is Xiao Tianci's idea? All the people have been evacuated. Are they planning to clear the country? It shouldn't be" "Brother, are you okay? " Lin Qiao and Su Chengyun asked worriedly when they saw Su Chengyun talking to himself there. "Oh. I'm fine. Su Chengyun came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Qiao Yu, go down immediately and order the troops to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot." " "Camp? "Lin Qiao was surprised. It's still early. Why should we stop moving forward now? "Brother. Set up camp now, shouldn¡¯t we leave today? " "Well, let's not leave. This matter is weird. The enemy may not have a conspiracy. We can't move forward blindly. Su Chengyun nodded and said, "Go down and deliver the order." " "yes, Sir. " Soon the army settled on the spot. The two hundred thousand troops plus war horses and various supplies occupied a large area. In Su Chengyun's main tent, in addition to Lin Qiao and others, there were also several Zhonglang generals. , they were all discussing in a low voice, and they were all puzzled and confused by Su Chengyun's sudden order to stop advancing. Among these Zhonglang generals, there were two young men wearing captain's uniforms that attracted special attention. They were all young and handsome guys. One of them had red lips and white teeth, and a sharp eyebrow. He was eight feet tall and had a long sword on his waist. He stood there with his head held high and his chest high. Although the other one was equally handsome, he looked strange. He has a feminine feeling, especially coupled with his height of less than seven feet, which completely lacks the masculinity of the military commander next to him. There is no comparison at all, but these two captains can appear. Participating in the discussion in the coach's camp must not be a simple person. Sure enough, the feminine man gave a look of disdain to the man next to him and moved slightly to stand. Lin Qiao, who was standing next to him, asked with a smile: "Uncle Lin. Tell my nephew, what does it mean to be handsome? Why did you set up camp so early today? Is there something wrong? " Lin Qiaoyu glanced at this man, then at the masculine young captain standing with him, and sighed slightly in his heart. He had seen all the actions of this feminine man just now, and for this man The only son of his eldest brother, he can be regarded as the one he has seen since he was a child. He himself has always been childless, so he regards this child as his son from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, he has been used to being arrogant since he was a child, and now he has developed this arrogant and arrogant character. temperament, especially for the young captain who is about the same age as him. Because he is better than him in everything, this kid has always beenI don't like him, and I despise him from the bottom of my heart. But his father didn't know this. In order to change the boy's temper, he deliberately took him to the army this time and asked the young captain who was outstanding in all aspects to be better than his peers to accompany him and teach him. He just hoped that this would happen. The boy was able to learn good things from him and change, but this only intensified the rebelliousness in this guy's heart, especially the jealousy towards the young captain turned into hatred. For these, Lin Qiao and They all see it, but he can't say anything. After all, this is not his biological son, and there are some things that he, an outsider, really can't say much about. Hearing the child's question, Lin Qiaoyu hesitated and replied: "Tianqiang, my uncle doesn't know much about this. Let's wait and see what he says when your father comes." "Oh." Su Tianqiang said. There was no more gnawing sound, but he did not return to the young man. At this time, the tent was opened, and Su Chengyun walked in with a military uniform. Those lieutenants and generals who were still discussing in low voices all silenced, looked at Su Chengyun, cupped their hands and said, "Greetings to the coach." Su Chengyun slowly said Walking to the main seat, he looked around at everyone, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, please sit down." After saying that, Su Chengyun sat down directly. "Thank you, coach." Everyone also sat down one after another. The camp was quiet for a moment, then Su Chengyun coughed twice and said: "Everyone, we just received the report from the spies. We have not found an enemy figure in front of us, and all the civilians in the villages have disappeared. The enemy's actions like this This makes me confused. For the sake of safety, I ordered to stop advancing." After saying this, Su Chengyun looked at the crowd again and said, "I wonder what your opinions and plans are on this matter." Su Chengyun finished. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, but no one among the people below was willing to stand up and speak. They all frowned, as if they were thinking about something important, but no one was willing to stand out. Looking at the expressions of these people below, Su Chengyun didn't know what these people were thinking, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly. "Brother." Just when Su Chengyun was about to get angry, Lin Qiaoyu standing below suddenly spoke. Seeing this, Su Chengyun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Lin Qiaoyu and said, "Oh, Qiaoyu, what do you think?" "Brother, since we have nothing to do with the enemy's actions. As far as I know, guessing now is in vain. I think it is better to send a small force directly into Gusu City first. If the enemy has any conspiracy, they will definitely jump out. By then, it will be a small force anyway. Even if The loss will not be too great if we are caught in an enemy ambush, and as long as we draw the enemy out, our large force can rush to the rescue at any time and attack the enemy from behind," Lin Qiaoyu said calmly while cupping his hands. After listening to his suggestion, Su Chengyun was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, Qiao Yu's method is good, let's implement it like this. But who will lead this small force? Is there anyone among you who is willing to take the lead?" Huh?" As he spoke, Su Chengyun glanced at the several lieutenant generals with burning eyes, but all the people he saw moved back slightly, unwilling to be the commander-in-chief. What a joke, bringing a small force to attract a large enemy force, isn't this looking for death? Whoever wants to go, I don't want to die anyway. This is what several lieutenants thought in their hearts. Su Chengyun glanced around at everyone, getting angrier and angrier as he looked, but when he turned his gaze to the masculine young captain, Su Chengyun's expression immediately improved, and a smile appeared on his face, because he saw The captain actually looked eager to give it a try, obviously wanting to fight and take orders. This young captain is someone he has always admired, and he is also a talent discovered by Su Chengyun. This person is called Mu Longque. He is only twenty years old this year. His physical strength has already reached the innate intermediate level, and his halberd skills are even more advanced. This makes him extremely talented, and what's even more rare is that he is not only very skilled, but also quite strategic. If he is trained well, he will definitely become a peerless general famous in the mainland in the future. Perhaps seeing Su Chengyun's affirmative look, Mu Longque, who had been eager to try, stood up and cupped his hands towards Su Chengyun and said: "General, I am willing to go." "Oh, Longque, the future of this trip is slim and even more dangerous. "Chong, are you sure you want to go?" Su Chengyun nodded slightly and asked. "General, leave this matter to Longque. Longque is confident of completing the mission." Mu Longque raised his head and looked at Su Chengyun, and replied with great confidence. "Okay, then let Longque go, I will send you another 10,000 cavalry, remember to be careful in everything." Su Chengyun said good and gave the order directly. "Yes, General." When Mu Longque came forward, several other lieutenants looked at him as if they were dead, but they all praised Mu Longque. He was a dead Taoist friend anyway."Die Pindao, since this guy wants to die, then go ahead, as long as they don't let them go by themselves."
