"I always feel that something is wrong." Chen Xi did not stop Liu Ye's order. He looked at the main road of Fan County City where people were shouting for death, and said with a strange expression. He vaguely grabbed something, but did not think about it. through.
"There seem to be no residents in this county. Does the other party want to turn this county into a fortress?" Fazheng looked around and said casually.
"What?" Chen Xi was stunned. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Chen Xi instantly remembered what was wrong.
"Send the order for the whole army to retreat. Ignore the shouts of killing. They are just trying to induce us to go deeper into the city." Chen Xi said to Liu Ye.
"Huh?" Liu Ye was startled, and then the souls of the dead appeared. He immediately ordered everyone to retreat out of Fan County City. The moment Chen Xi spoke, he mobilized his energy to extract the water vapor in the air, only to find that under his Within the range that mental energy can be mobilized, water vapor cannot be felt at all!
"Retreat the whole army. Don't go deep into the city. Withdraw from Fan County in teams of fifty." Liu Ye ordered loudly. Soon Liu Bei's army, which had already entered, slowly pulled back. No blood stains were seen on it!
After all, Liu Bei's army was well-trained, and the soldiers who had been scattered quickly gathered together. However, at this time, sporadic flames appeared all over Fan County, and even wisps of flames began to appear near the east gate where they originally entered. However, while the fire was not big, Zhang Fei swept the house with one blow and put out the flames.
Fortunately, Chen Xi discovered the problem first. At this time, he had gathered the soldiers back on the main street and did not cause chaos in the army.
"Evacuate!" By the time the last wave of people evacuated, most of Fan County was already on fire. If he had gone deeper before, even if he could not burn many people, the chaos caused to the army would be enough to give Chen Xi a huge headache.
After exiting Fan County, Liu Beijun could feel the rolling heat wave even though the distance was quite far. Even if the entire Fan County was not burned to ashes under that fire, at most there would be some remains left.
"That's cruel!" Fazheng gasped and said, "He had already driven away the water vapor nearby, and he didn't notice it at all during the march."
"The other party is not too ruthless. If Cheng Yu did this, he would never take away all the people. At least some of them would be left behind." Liu Ye said in a low voice with a dark face, "There is no need to save this fire. , just watch it burn out, we should go after Yuan Shaojun as soon as possible. "
"General, let's withdraw. The scouts came to report that Liu Bei's army had slowly withdrawn from Fan County. They did not panic, trample on each other, and come out in chaos." Sun Zi lay on the grass and said to Guo Yuan.
"Damn it!" Guo Yuan shouted angrily. He had seen Liu Beijun enter Fan County with his own eyes before. He thought that Xun Chen's plan would definitely succeed, but the reality turned out to be a joke on him. Liu Beijun was able to withdraw slowly from the fire!
"How is this possible? How is it possible to keep the army from chaos when there are fires from all directions!" Li Pu shouted, "Once the fire breaks out, the army will inevitably be in chaos, and it will be difficult to get their minds together. Such clouds will inevitably be in chaos, and then everyone will scatter in all directions. On the contrary, it is impossible to escape, and it is easy to completely collapse!¡±
"I'm afraid the other party discovered it first." Sun Zi hesitated for a while and replied. But to be honest, this point cannot convince anyone. They all saw that the city was already on fire before Liu Bei's army had completely withdrawn.
"That's all we can do. Withdraw!" Guo Yuan said in a muffled voice. He was different from other generals. He knows how to advance and retreat very well, and rarely acts recklessly. This is why his ability is not too outstanding but he can dominate one side.
"Report, general, traces of enemy troops have been found thirty miles to the west." While Chen Xi was thinking about whether to set up camp on the spot first or go ten miles west to rest, the messenger reported a piece of news.
"Hua Xiong, you will lead the three thousand cavalry back quickly. If you can fight, fight. If you can't, follow behind until dusk falls!" Chen Xi turned his head and gave an order to Hua Xiong. As for why there are not more cavalry. , Speaking of which, many of those cavalrymen who came from Xiliang were not seen at night.
"Here!" Hua Xiong clasped his fists and saluted, immediately ordered all the old pawns from before, and chased towards the west.
"Xun Chen is really a trouble. He obviously doesn't want to contact us." Liu Ye said with a headache, "Does Xiaozhi have any good ideas?"
"Unless we have a way to attack it, we will save it!" Fazheng said casually, "But the other party has shown its determination by setting fire to a county town. I am afraid that unless the other party is sure of victory, they will not attack us at all."
"In this case, the other party will not be as anxious as Yuan Shaojun, and our goal of separating Yuan Shaojun will not be achieved." Liu Ye said with a headache.
"" Chen Xi did not answer, he was in a trance.??Some other ideas.
"Zichuan, do you have any other ideas?" Liu Ye saw that Chen Xi was silent, so he asked.
"Where do you think Xun Chen will retreat to?" Chen Xi asked.
"Puyang, Puyang, with its high city and deep valley, is the most suitable for defense. Its troops are not much less than ours, and Puyang is on the route we must pass through, and it is the hub of waterway transportation." Liu Ye didn't even think about it. replied.
"The current situation is that Xun Chen said nothing and will not collide with us head-on. We are still following each other's steps. We must spend time in Qingfeng and other places before we can arrive in Puyang!" Chen Xi frowned and said, It was unbearable for him, it was such a waste of time.
"Then what you mean is that we don't attack Qingfeng, but directly attack Puyang?" Liu Ye frowned and said, "Qingfeng is stuck on the road to our march. If we act like this, the danger of going deep alone is too great. This is different from the previous King Qin is completely different.¡±
"Wrong, what I mean is that we should no longer follow Xun Chen's rhythm and directly attack Puyang. With a false shot, we can enter Jizhou on a white horse and directly come back to capture Yecheng!" Chen Xi suddenly raised his head and said.
Liu Ye frowned, but he did not completely reject Chen Xi's completely unrealistic suggestion. After all, he also knew that if he continued to follow Xun Chen's footsteps, he would be controlled sooner or later, and it would not be so easy to work hard at that time. .
"Qinghe, do we have enough chess pieces to turn the tables?" Fazheng asked after thinking for a long time. Chen Xi's words ignited his adventurous spirit and made him feel ready to make a move.
"No, but it can be created. The Qinghe Cui family is overwhelmed by the Boling Cui family. After the family is split, the internal collision is the most terrifying!" Chen Xi said, this family, direct lineage, and clan are the most important. Yes, an orthodoxy is enough to deter countless heroes! (To be continued)
