The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 771
Therefore, He Qi said to He Da: "What happened at this time is really too strange, you send someone to tell your uncle, so that he must not relax his vigilance because of this. Then, you immediately send all the scouts back to investigate again Remember, don't let go of any suspicious places. By the way, the direction of the scout team's investigation must be wide enough. Maybe Yujin's approach is just a cover-up, but it is used to cover the detour of Gaimeng's cavalry. .”

He Qi is indeed a famous general, although his guess was wrong, but his approach was correct, and he also arranged various deployments in an orderly manner.

He Da admired He Qi's prudent and rigorous arrangement so much that he felt that their current two defeats were due to Jin's hands, but in fact it was more due to Yu Jin's possession of luck. Just more blessings from God.If his father had a direct confrontation with Yu Jin, he would not necessarily be defeated by Yu Jin.

But there is no if in history, and the defeat in a war is even more so, because it represents ruthless killing and irreparable human life.

Therefore, He Qi immediately took the order to reorganize the scout team to go out to investigate the enemy's situation.

And He Qi may be due to the long-term pampering, although his body is still strong, but he obviously does not have the endurance of his youth. After such a long period of continuous riding on the road, his body is already full of aches and pains.Therefore, he simply ordered his guards to stop advancing with him, drive to the side of the road to rest for a while, and wait for the scouts to pass on the news.

After resting for half an hour, He Qi's physical strength finally recovered a lot, and he also ate and drank water, and suddenly felt the taste of the military rations that didn't move at all, which seemed to be quite good.In fact, if a person is really hungry, even dregs or pig food can be eaten like delicacies from mountains and seas, the situation is different.

Then, He Da finally brought the latest and most comprehensive news to He Qi, saying that Yu Jin's troops had indeed stopped advancing, and that the Wuxi Man's army was now fully advancing towards this side. .

Facing such news, He Qi seemed to be happy for a while, after all, they seemed to no longer have to run around.But He Qi didn't seem to show much happiness on his face.

He Jing should have received the corresponding news, so he also rushed over to see He Qi.It seems that he is also very anxious about the current situation and wants to know He Qi's judgment earlier.

Seeing his father's expression like this, He Da couldn't help but feel very strange, and asked, "Why is father behaving like this? Isn't it good news for us that Yu Jin's army stopped pursuing?"

He Qi looked at the eldest son who was handsome and handsome, but he felt that his experience was not enough, and he didn't have enough experience in facing the general situation.At this time, he suddenly thought of the young and mature Liu Chan, and those extremely young generals under Liu Chan's command. Although they were defeated by him for a while, their performance at that time was actually exciting enough.

Then, He Qi quickly thought of Quan Cong who commanded a huge fleet far above the Yangtze River.That person seems to be an insurmountable existence for his son.

He Jing was also more anxious, and immediately said: "Brother, what is your opinion?"

He Qi said to He Da and He Jing, "Judging from the current situation of our army, Yu Jin's cessation of pursuit is temporarily beneficial to our army. Yu Jin has always acted resolutely and decisively. He was in Nanyang at that time. When facing Guan Yu's army in the county, he hesitated, which eventually led to the annihilation of the entire army, and he himself became a prisoner of others. After having such an experience, he will definitely learn from the painful experience, and what he does now is also Correspondingly, he has become more decisive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is willing to take aggressive strategies. It can be seen from the fact that he launched two surprise attacks on our army regardless of the consequences."

He Da frowned, and said, "Father still thinks that behind Yu Jin's sudden stop of pursuit, there is actually some kind of conspiracy hidden?"

He Jing immediately said: "Even so, this place is not very far from Jiangxia City. No matter what tricks Yu Jin is playing, we should enter Jiangxia City first. At that time, if Yu Jin has any more tricks and tricks, it may not be too far away." But it won't take us."

He Qi seemed quite satisfied with He Jing's point of view, and said, "Second Brother's words are still reasonable, but..."

He Jing asked: "But what..."

"However, the current situation has obviously changed dramatically. If our army enters Jiangxia City to defend the city according to common sense, it seems that it is not a wise move."

He Jingdao: "But if we don't enter Jiangxia City, our army will have nowhere to go."

At this time, He Da suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise: "Could it be that father already wants to give up Jiangxia City? If so, Jiangxia County will not be able to keep it. How can we explain to the master?"

He Qi was a little annoyed and waved his hands in frustration, and said: "The general leads the army to fight, so can he only care about the gains and losses of a city and a place?"

It should be said that He Qi's rhetoric was definitely not his own heart, he was obviously just looking for an excuse for himself to save his own face.As for how to explain to the lord Sun Quan, his side has already been defeated anyway, and he is not afraid of one more difficult thing to explain.

Seeing that his father was a little angry, He Da didn't dare to talk back anymore, and obediently accepted He Qi's lesson with his head down.

At this time, He Jing said: "Even if we want to abandon Jiangxia City, we should at least go there and resupply there. We left the camp hastily last night and lost most of our things. Many soldiers are now But they’re all on their way hungry!”

He Qi nodded and said: "Yes. Judging from the current situation, Yu Jin may be waiting for the Wuxi barbarian troops to catch up, and then wants to surround my house in Jiangxia City. But he was wrong. I, He Qi, Don’t stick to Jiangxia City this time, I will give them Jiangxia County! Then, while Yu Jin is still resting, rush to Jiangxia City to rest and supply, and then continue eastward to the city.”

He Jing and He Da were overjoyed when they heard the words.He Da immediately went out to deliver the latest marching orders.

But He Jing didn't leave just then, but suddenly asked He Jing in a low voice: "Brother, what should General Han's army do?"

He Qi sighed suddenly and said: "That old general can only resign himself to fate."

In fact, just last night, his side had already sent someone to send news of his defeat to Han Dang.But whether Han Dang received it or not was one thing, and it was another thing to be able to successfully get rid of the enemy army and rush back to Jiangxia City after receiving it.Moreover, the consequences of the two situations did not seem to be much different, because at that time He Qi's own troops had already left Jiangxia to go down to the city.It is absolutely impossible for Jiangxia City to be able to defend it with Han Dang's small force.

He Jing also sighed, and rode back to his army.
