Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1062 Liu Lin’s way out

Liu Lin drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp and slammed the bowl in his hand to the ground.

"Wang Xiaolie, why are you so cunning! Outside of the direct west, the troops and horses are thirty miles away. Those who are closer should not be facing directly! I want to fight but I can't, and I don't want to fight but I run away. , It’s really hateful!”

After saying that, he picked up a large bowl of wine. He drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp and threw the bowl heavily to the ground.

Feng Changning came in, looked at the bowls on the ground, and stepped forward and said: "The prince is calming down, what are you doing with a few bowls? Starting from the day before yesterday, Wang Xiaolie's army launched a massive attack, and the first one to attack was Kong Yanzhou in Linhai."

"What's the result of the battle?" Liu Lin immediately became energetic when he heard that the two sides were fighting.

Feng Changning shook his head: "Kong Yanzhou was no match. He was defeated by the opponent in a single battle. Kong Yanzhou escaped through the muddy ground south of the city. The enemy pursued him and escaped with his life."

Liu Xiao narrowed his eyes: "It's been two days and we haven't seen Kong Yanzhou in Kaide Mansion! Where has he gone?"

Feng Changning said: "Kong Yanzhou saw that the situation in Kaide Mansion was not good, so he fled to Puzhou. It is open everywhere and there are many places to escape."

Liu Lin snorted coldly: "Wang Xiaolie didn't come up to fight for a long time, so he escaped with his life. How can it be easy to deal with the soldiers of my prince's palace?"

Feng Changning sighed: "Prince, of the two thousand soldiers stationed in Nan County yesterday, 300 escaped, and the remaining 1,700 surrendered. The soldiers of the Prince's Mansion are really capable of fighting, so this kind of lie can only The prince still believed it. Now that the emperor of Daming Mansion has escaped, and Kaide Mansion is under siege from all sides, what’s the point of holding on?”

Liu Lin turned around suddenly and said, "Chang Shi, are you trying to shake my military morale with your words?"

Feng Changning shook his head, too lazy to ask Liu Lin again, and sat down at the other end of the table.

Liu Lin sat there upright, staring at the big rock in front of him. After a while, Liu Lin suddenly stood up and kicked the stool to the ground. He yelled: "Even Chang Shi doesn't support me anymore, so what's the point of continuing this battle?"

Feng Changning sat quietly and looked at Liu Lin, unmoved.

The war has been going on for so long, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this war cannot go on. Liu Lin could only run away, fight to the outside, and find an opportunity to fight back. As long as you retain your own strength, you retain hope. If he doesn't even have the troops, Liu Lin will be useless.

After venting his anger, Liu Lin gradually calmed down. He asked Feng Changning in a deep voice: "Chang Shi thinks we have only one way to run?"

Feng Changning said: "That's right. If you fight, you will die. The most important thing is to escape as soon as possible."

Liu Lin said: "Where does Chang Shi think we should run?"

Feng Changning said: "Where else are you running to? All other directions are blocked, leaving only the Puzhou direction. And you have to be quick, you have to run before Wang Xiaolie blocks the Puzhou direction. Flee to Dongping Mansion, Escape to Qizhou can be postponed. As long as you can regain your breath, it may not be a way out."

Liu Lin was silent for a while and said, "Besides Jin State being able to help us, is there any other way?" Feng Changning said, "As long as Qi State can lend a helping hand, things can be done. Prince, think about the current situation. , the Kingdom of Jin has no reason to give up on us. The prince has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and he is the only force Qi can trust again. If the Kingdom of Jin wants to fight, it can cooperate with the strength of the Kingdom of Jin to provide a big boost. And after the prince gets help from the Kingdom of Jin , the Prince’s Mansion’s military strength has a backbone. It’s not like now, when everyone wants to escape, the situation is different!”

Liu Lin sat there, looking bitterly at the west direction of the city. After a long time, he said: "Is there really no other way?"

Feng Changning said: "What else can we do? Daming Mansion ran towards the emperor, Linhe ran towards Kong Yanzhou, and all the troops were pressed against the Prince's Mansion. This is an army of 130,000 to 40,000 people. How can the Prince's Mansion cope with it? If If we don’t run, we will all die here!”

Liu Lin sighed and said nothing.

What else is there to say? If the situation is like this, we can only run away.

Wang Xiaolie's strategy is very simple. Attack other parts of the army first, weaken first and then strengthen, and reduce the strength of his own side step by step. At the end of the day, all the troops were used to deal with the soldiers of the Prince's Mansion. What else could be done?

Even though Liu Lin was unwilling to do anything, he had only one way to escape.

Wang Xiaolie was in the commander's tent, looking at the map carefully. He used his hands to read the map over and over again, calculating the distance and estimating Liu Lin's route.

Wang Ruohai came in from the staff room nearby and handed Wang Xiaolie the latest troop deployment plan. Said: "The ministries are approaching Kaide Mansion one after another. If the puppet soldiers and horses do not escape, they will soon be surrounded. No matter how stupid Liu Lin is, he will not stay still."

Wang Xiaolie said, "No matter how stupid Liu Lin is, his men will not be stupid. If they stand still, they will really be surrounded. I estimate that within two or three days, the puppet Qi troops will escape. The key now is that he Where to escape?"

Wang Ruohai stood up and walked to the map. He knocked on Puzhou with his hand and said: "Escape here, there is no other way out. If you escape to Puzhou, you can retreat to Dongping Mansion and Qizhou in the northeast. There is still room for movement. There is something special to do."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, escaping to Puzhou can be said to have escaped. The key now is that Liu Lin can escape, but his troops cannot escape! To be honest, now Liu Yu and Liu Lin escaped and had little impact on the overall situation. And the soldiers under him are said to be called the Prince's Mansion Soldiers and Horses. They have high salary and good treatment. Compared with other soldiers and horses, the Prince's Mansion Soldiers and Horses still have combat effectiveness. As long as If we keep all these soldiers and horses, including Liu Yu and Liu Lin, the situation will be over."

Wang Ruohai nodded slowly: "Xuan Fu is absolutely right. As long as the soldiers and horses of the prince's palace are destroyed, the puppet Qi will have nothing to worry about!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Order Wei Yang's army to prepare rations on the road, but not to push forward too much, and temporarily stabilize Liu Lin's army. At the same time, he ordered Xie Linong and Li Xing's troops in Daming Mansion to immediately mobilize the main force to go south. ! After resting for a long time, it’s time for their army to fight!"

Wang Ruohai folded his hands and obeyed the order.

Wang Xiaolie said: "There are Tong De's army in the south, Wei Yang's army in the north, Lin Wei's troops in the southeast, and Xie Linong and Li Xing's troops in the northeast. The Prince's Mansion Guards were surrounded. When they got there When the time comes, he can’t run away even if he wants to!”

Wang Ruohai said: "After passing Puzhou, we are not far from Onezawa. The road is muddy and we can't run far."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said, "Order all armies to display their style of fighting tough battles and pursue the enemy without fear of hardship!"

Wang Ruohai said: "The morale of Liu Lin's troops has been lost, and they can no longer fight hard. If they escape on the muddy road, they will only suffer a lot. As long as we can pursue them from behind, they probably won't be able to escape far." !”
