The big man is on the run

Chapter 105 Meng Da, do we really have a way out?

Weibei, Li Jue camp.

"What did you say? The Flying Bear Army was defeated? This is impossible!"

Sitting on the handsome seat, Li Jue frowned, and his face was full of shock.

"Report to Chief Sima, the Flying Bear Army has indeed been defeated, and only five or six hundred riders escaped back!"

"The rest of the Flying Bear soldiers have surrendered!"

"General, this subordinate saw it with their own eyes!"

A lieutenant quickly stood up and reported to Li Juehui respectfully. His forehead was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.

"How did this happen? The fighting power of the Flying Bear Army is the best in Xiliang! How could they be defeated so easily?"

Li Jue looked at his subordinates in shock, until now, he couldn't believe it.

A subordinate official of Da Sima stood up and asked loudly.

"The Feixiong Army is our most elite cavalry unit, and their equipment is countless times better than ordinary troops! It can be said that the Feixiong Army is the best in the entire Xiliang Army, and it can even be said that it is our most powerful cavalry force. Strong main force! How could they lose so miserably?"

"That's right! The fighting power of the Flying Bear Army ranks first in the entire Guanlong region. How could it be easily defeated by a mere court cavalry?"

"Could it be that the cavalry army that suddenly appeared was actually the troops of other princes?"

Many civil officials talked about it, and these were the scholars recruited by Li Jue to the Da Sima Mansion.

Hearing the civil and military discussions around him, Li Jue's face became darker and darker. In the end, bursts of murderous aura emerged from his eyes, as if there was a burst of anger burning in his chest .

And the defeated soldiers who had fled explained to him in detail how the Feixiong Army fought continuously, defeated the Southern Huns twice, and was entangled by the Han army's forwards, and when they were finally crushed by the Han army with twice the number of people, the big tent Quiet.

"well!"

Li Jue's mouth let out an extremely angry roar, and his flushed face was full of ferocious and distorted expressions.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

A horrifying look appeared on Li Jue's face. He completely lost his composure, drew out his saber "Inugami" and hacked around, shouting wantonly into the camp full of people.

The civil and military generals of Da Sima's Mansion were silent.

Outside the camp, there was an echo: "Report!"

"Say!" Li Jue was impatient.

"Zhonglang General Gan Ning led five hundred naval troops, and has broken through a camp of our South Route Army on the edge of the Wei River. Now, they are attacking the South Route Army's forage storage!"

Li Jue's expression turned extremely ugly.

In his mind, Liu Yi, the young emperor, appeared.

Liu Yi, how could he have such guts!
How dare you lead all the cavalry to strangle the flying bear army at the risk of an empty camp!
How dare you attack the South Route Army's riverside camp and forage depot after you succeed!
"Liu Yi! Liu Yi! What a courageous and resourceful Son of Heaven!"

Li Jue gritted his teeth and said.

Thinking of the power in Liu Yi's hands, compared with the current power, Li Jue felt a little bit of "fear". Yes, Li Jue felt fear.

He really regrets it now, why did he let Liu Yi out of Chang'an in the first place?

If I didn't let Liu Yi go back, or if Guo Bang's defeat was not so fast, then I don't have to be so passive now!
Thinking of this, Li Jue couldn't help secretly scolding Guo Si for being a waste.

Anyway, Guo Si is still speechless now.

But things have come to this, Guo Bang, who complained that the grass on the grave has begun to grow two inches, is useless. No one would have thought that the puppet emperor who was imprisoned in Nanwu by Li Jue two months ago, now has a superior Wan's soldiers and horses even have the posture of a Jedi fighting back!
And this anti-killing posture gradually became unstoppable as the heads of Xiliang army generals such as Wu Xi, Guo Si, Guo Wei, Yang Ding, and Li Shi fell to the ground one by one.

——This is the key to Li Jue's fear.

"Now how to do?"

A lieutenant asked in a deep voice.

"What should we do? What can we do now? Unless we send all the troops to attack the official army camp. However, in addition to the Southern Route Army not arriving, our army still has many infantry and they are not all cavalry who come and go like the wind. The battlefield also needs to restore physical strength and cannot be left to wait for work. It will take time.

At our speed, it will take at least one day to rush there, that is, we will not be able to reach the current position of the officers and soldiers until noon tomorrow.After such a long time, the officers and soldiers have already escaped! "Another person analyzed it carefully, and this answer was approved by most people.

"If the officers and soldiers want to fight decisively, they probably won't run away." A veteran said.

Another civil official from the Da Sima Mansion said indifferently: "Then what should we do? We can't just let the Feixiong army be defeated, and then the officers and soldiers escape, right?"

"Yes, in the hands of the emperor, there are more than 1 troops in his hands. We must find a way to take the court back. Otherwise, after the Feixiong army is defeated, one will ebb and flow, and the strength of the emperor will become stronger and stronger. powerful!"

All the subordinate officials of the Da Sima Mansion and the generals in the army began to talk about it.

"This matter should not be made public for the time being!"

Li Jue thought for a while, woke up from the rage, and said in a deep voice.

"Why can't it be announced? Could it be that Da Sima wants to hide this matter? But with so many defeated soldiers, many people have seen it."

A civil servant asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"First of all, gather the remnants of the Flying Bear Army alone, and only say that Zhongfu was defeated, and don't say anything else.

Secondly, after ordering the South Route Army to deal with the forage depot that was attacked by surprise, order the South Route Army and Duan Yan's troops to quickly cross the river and move closer to here.

Otherwise, if it is delayed for a while, the emperor will definitely publicize the defeat of the Feixiong army and let everyone in the world know about it. "

Hearing Wenchen's inquiry, Li Jue said decisively.

"We can ignore other things for the time being and plan slowly, but the attack cannot be delayed any longer!"

Holding the long and narrow "dog god" in his hand, Li Jue looked around at the generals.

"It is absolutely impossible for the official army to strangle the Feixiong army unscathed, and the Feixiong army must have caused a lot of damage to the official army, and the official army is even more depleted now!

However, the main force of our army is in good condition. As long as we integrate our troops now, we will definitely be able to annihilate all the troops of the imperial court in less than two days!

At that time, we will come forward and tell the story of Feixiong Army. As long as we defeat the official army, the failure we encountered before will naturally not affect morale. "

"Yes, the Flying Bear Army is the trump card unit of our army. Their combat capabilities are extraordinary. Once we let others know that the Flying Bear Army has been wiped out, our army's morale and morale will be greatly hit. Therefore, just like the big As Sima said, this matter must be concealed, and the whole army will fight as usual! Without the Feixiong army, our army can defeat the enemy!"

At this time Meng Da stood up and expressed his opinion loudly.

"I'll wait for the second!"

"I'll wait for the second!"

"."

The rest of the generals and the main officials of the Da Sima Mansion expressed their opinions one after another.

Seeing that all these people agreed with his plan, Li Jue showed satisfaction on his face. This is already the best solution.

Li Jue nodded and shouted loudly: "Very good! Since everyone agrees, then follow the plan! Order the whole army and prepare for battle!"

When the generals heard the words, they quickly agreed, and then they turned around and walked out of Li Jue's camp, and each went back to the barracks.

But just after the generals left, Meng Da suddenly turned around, came in front of Li Jue, and cupped his hands towards Li Jue and said.

"Great Sima, I don't know something about my subordinates. I wonder if Da Sima is willing to clear up my doubts for my subordinates?"

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Hearing Meng Da's request, Li Jue asked with a smile.

At this time, Li Jue seemed to have completely escaped from the state of rage and panic just now, recovering from the huge blow that the Feixiong army was annihilated.

"Grand Sima, this time our army is going on a large-scale expedition. Not only is it necessary to defeat the main force of the emperor, but the more important goal is to completely wipe out Zhang Ji, Dong Cheng and others, and completely integrate the Xiliang Army. But now the Feixiong Army has already Being annihilated, these goals are very difficult to achieve. Why should our army continue to bite the bullet? It is better to withdraw to Chang'an, at least there is a retreat. There is no need to gamble here. Of course, our army's chances of winning are not low. But what if you lose?"

Meng Da said in a low voice, and looked at Li Jue's face anxiously.

"Oh? These are all your sincere words?"

Li Jue raised his eyebrows.

"Every sentence is sincere, and I dare not deceive Da Sima in the slightest!"

"Hmm! What you said is very good! It seems that you are loyal." Li Jue paused.

"But Mengda, do you think there is really a way out now?"

Li Jue asked Meng Da suddenly, the smile on his face was gone, and his expression was extremely cold.

"Reporting to Chief Sima, as far as my subordinates know, even if Duan Yan's [-] troops are not counted, our army still has [-] to [-] cavalry, and the rest are [-] to [-] infantry! Such a force has overwhelmed many of the officers and soldiers. Why is there no way out?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Meng Da's words, Li Jue couldn't help but raised his head and laughed loudly, even tears of laughter came out.

"Da Sima, what are you laughing at?"

Seeing Li Jue burst into laughter suddenly, Meng Da couldn't help but asked in confusion.

"I laugh at you for being stupid!"

"Although there are many troops in our army, as long as the form changes, these troops will not be enough to confront the 'general trend' of the officers and soldiers! You simply don't know how soldiers fight. Numbers are one aspect, and morale is more important. , Why do you think the Flying Bear Army was defeated? It wasn't because the morale of the successive fierce fighters was low, and the main general was injured again, which led to the collapse.

Moreover, you think we have a lot of soldiers, but in fact, apart from the soldiers and horses of the generals of my Li family, the rest of the soldiers and horses are only the Xiliang generals who are vassals of me, as well as a group of recruits temporarily recruited and Guo Guo. Si's defeated army!Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the official army when the wind is headed! "

"Da Sima, what do you mean?"

"Humph!"

Li Jue snorted coldly and said, "Let me tell you clearly, it's useless to see the number of people!"

"The only purpose of our army is to fight the official army. If our army cannot defeat the official army in the decisive battle, believe it or not, as long as we return to Chang'an, the aristocratic families, local tyrants, and Li people will flock to resist our army. ?

At that time, no need to think about it, the recruits and the defeated soldiers will keep running away, the number of troops will become smaller and smaller, and these generals with foreign surnames who seem to be very respectful to me now will have their own ulterior motives and want to sacrifice my head Exchange for the official title for the imperial court! "

Meng Da was sweating coldly, knowing that his idea of ​​retreating to Chang'an was too naive.

"So, we can only advance, not retreat! We must find ways to defeat the troops of the imperial court! Try to wait for the reinforcements from the South Road to arrive after noon today. The troops are all defeated!"

"However, Da Sima, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the imperial court's command should not be underestimated! Are we really sure of victory?"

Li Jue sneered when he heard this.

"Hehe, you think highly of those soldiers and horses under the emperor's command! If the Feixiong army is defeated, they must have suffered heavy casualties. Without the support of the emperor's own army, Zhang Ji and Dong Cheng would not run away by themselves when life and death are at stake? Once they fight tomorrow , How much combat power do they really have?"

After finishing speaking, Li Jue's eyes were shining brightly.

"Then, what Da Sima means is that our army must fight quickly, and with the determination to break the boat, we will not give the officers and soldiers time to breathe, and give them a fatal blow in time!"

Hearing Li Jue's words, Meng Da seemed to understand Li Jue's determination, he said loudly.

"That's right!"

Li Jue seemed to be encouraging himself, but also seemed to be hypnotizing himself.

"Meng Da, now, you take the token and send an order to go down immediately, arrange all the supplies first, don't waste time when setting off, and make sure to arrive at the battlefield before noon tomorrow, without leaving any chance for the officers and soldiers to breathe! Remember! , This is the only chance! Once the officers and soldiers are allowed to breathe, our odds of winning may become very low!"

"Yes! Da Sima! This subordinate obeys!"

Hearing Li Jue's order, Meng Da bowed to accept the order, then turned around and walked out of the camp, and went back to dispatch the luggage.

The South Route Army can wait, but the luggage can be packed first.

For a while, the entire North Route Army of Li Jue's headquarters fell into intense combat preparations.

The soldiers received the order and waited for the South Route Army to arrive at the confluence, and then the army would move out quickly and march towards Weiqu.
