"Father, there are only a thousand Jin cavalry left outside the city. Xie Xuan bullied us so much. Do you think these thousand cavalry can suppress us in this Xuchang City?" Yao Yun looked at the only a thousand Yuzhou cavalry left outside the Xuchang City and said angrily.

"Yao Yun obeyed the order and led the three thousand cavalry in the city to leave the city immediately. After defeating the thousand Jin cavalry outside the city, he pursued the Jin army!" Yao Chang's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.

Yao Yun took the order and left, and Yao Chang glanced at Zonghou.

"General Zong seems to have something to say?"

"Return to the Lord, I will finally think that something is strange about this matter!"

The Jin army began to withdraw its troops the night before yesterday, and Yao Chang did not order the pursuit immediately. Zonghou felt a vague feeling in his heart. At this moment, he saw Yao Yun take the order with high morale and leave, and this feeling became more and more obvious.

"Why did General Zong say this?"

"It's too long!" Zonghou said with a frown.

"The Jin army cavalry, navy, and the first batch of retreating infantry left our sight for a day and a night. Although the spies had indeed returned to the northwest, the Jin army navy was already on the way back to the Huai River!"

"However, the Lord, the baggage infantry that retreated first in the Jin army lost their traces. So far, no spies have paid their specific location or location!"

"General Zong means that he is worried that these Jin army's baggage soldiers will set up an ambush for us?" Yao Chang asked disapprovingly.

"In addition to being able to control equipment to attack the city, the combat effectiveness of the baggage soldiers is quite average. What can they do to set up an ambush?"

"What if the Jin army's baggage troops have been replaced with the Jin army's elites? What should I do?" Zonghou looked at the Yuzhou cavalry who had begun to retreat outside the city and said with a serious look on his face.

"The Lord has not achieved great achievements, and he has to act carefully. Most of the elites of our Qiang tribe are in this Xuchang, so there is no need to lose anything!"

Yao Chang then became serious and nodded and said, "How should General Yizong do what he said? If he doesn't go out of the city to pursue him and let the Northern Palace soldiers return to Nanyang, the Jin army is good at defending the city. Once he enters the city without any damage, it will not be easy to get back to Nanyang!"

"If you miss this opportunity, Your Majesty the Heavenly King will blame him. General Zong, don't forget that we are inseparable from the loss of Nanyang!"

"The young master has led three thousand cavalry to pursue him!" Zonghou said carefully.

"The General of the Last Side suggests that the General of the Last Side will lead another 20,000 elite troops and follow the young master. One way to ensure the safety of the young master, and the other way to cause as much as possible to kill and damage the Jin army if there is a chance!"

"As for the Lord, we will lead the army in Xuchang City, and wait for the Army to come and meet!"

"Is there too few 20,000 people?" Yao Chang said with a frown.

He knew the military talents of Zonghou, but although the Jin army suffered damage to the attack this time, it did not hurt the enemy. Apart from the cavalry and navy, there were nearly 70,000 infantrymen. Zonghou only invited 20,000 troops, which seemed to underestimate the enemy too much!

"If the Jin army was willing to retreat, 20,000 people would be more than enough to pursue him!" said Zonghou respectfully.

"On the contrary, if the Jin army is determined to set an ambush, even if our army comes out in full bloom, it will be a fate without returning. Zonghou's main task this time is to ensure the safety of the young master!"

Yao Chang nodded slightly, Zonghou bowed silently, and then took the order and turned around and left.

...

"Xiaojie, we seem to ignore one thing, or rather, we ignore one person!"

At this time, Xie Xuanweijie and others had already met with Wang Hongmao Xiuzhi. The real baggage soldiers had already returned to Nanyang with the baggage. The ones who left here were all the elite soldiers of the North Mansion.

"Who?" Wei Jie was slightly stunned, and did not react for a moment to Xie Xuan's meaning.

"Do you still remember the battle when we flooded Ruyin County?" Xie Xuan frowned and asked.

"certainly!"

Wei Jie nodded slightly. It was only a month later that time had passed, and the 20,000 Qiang cavalry were wiped out. How could he forget it? It was just that he still didn't understand what Xie Xuanyi pointed to!

"Do you remember Mao Xiuzhi's ambush in Huangkou Valley and returned without success?" Xie Xuan said temptingly.

Wei Jie suddenly felt nervous and blurted out: "Not good!"

Xie Xuan nodded slightly and sighed, "I have heard that Yao Chang has a man named Zonghou around him. The reinforcements in Xuchang must have been commander Zonghou. This time, I'm afraid he can still see through our plan!"

"Zonghou?"

Wei Jie searched for a name in his mind, and seemed to have some impression. When he was in Shou County, he heard Murong Kuang mention this person. According to what Murong Kuang said, this lord not only has excellent martial arts skills, but also skilled in bows and horses. He is a famous archer in the north, and his wisdom made all enemies frightened!

"Wei Jie has heard of this person, but in a hurry, he actually forgot him!"

Seeing Xie Xuan lowered his head and said nothing, Wei Jie knew that he was a little guilty after being neglected, and couldn't help but comfort him and said, "Since Yao Chang has a great possibility that he has seen through our ambush, why don't we go back to Nanyang directly. Nanyang City is strong, let's defend according to the city and calculate what happens in the future!"

Xie Xuan nodded slightly. Just as he was about to give an order, He Wuji's voice came in.

"Report to the Grand Commander, Deputy Commander, and spies, Yao Yun led thousands of Qiang cavalry to pursue him. One thousand cavalry of the Yuzhou army fought and retreated, and it was less than twenty miles away from here!"

Xie Xuan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it Yao Yun led the troops?"

He Wuji focused his attention and said, "The spy saw it very clearly. It was Yao Yun undoubtedly. There were 20,000 elite Qiang infantrymen following Yao Yun, but Yao Chang did not lead the troops himself!"

Xie Xuan nodded and said to Wei Jie: "These 20,000 infantry must be led by Zonghou. Our opportunity is here!"

"Opportunity?" Wei Jie pondered for a moment and asked softly.

"Could Xuan Shuai want to keep this sect marquis?"

"Not bad!" Xie Xuan nodded and said.

"Yao Yun is brave but not wise. If it were normal, he might be able to hear the opinions of Zonghou. He has been suppressed by us and besieged in Xuchang City these days. I am afraid he will have lost his patience long ago!"

"The purpose of Zonghou's coming here is to protect Yao Yun and be comprehensive. Let's take this opportunity to use Yao Yun to get rid of Zonghou!"

Zonghou is so scheming that eliminating Zonghou is no less than annihilated 100,000 elite Qiang clans, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Yao Chang's arm. If we can really take this opportunity to get rid of Zonghou, even if Yao Chang does not have the main force out of the city, the Northern Palace soldiers cannot take the opportunity to take Xuchang. This careful design will not be wasted!

"Send the order to let the cavalry of the Yuzhou army not be keen on fighting, and quickly pass through the pockets we set up in a defeated manner. After Yao Yun enters the pocket, he immediately encircles and cut off his retreat. This general wants to force Zonghou to fight head-on with our Northern Palace soldiers!"
