Chapter seven hundred and twentieth eighth

To be honest, the withdrawal of the Jingzhou army was completely different from the expectations of these Liangzhou warlords. After all, the Jingzhou army fought with its own side in a row in the past few days, and both sides suffered damage to each other. Even if the Western Liang army had some advantage, the degree of the upper hand would be absolutely limited.

Now that I suddenly heard that the Jingzhou army had withdrawn, the first thing that came to my mind in the warlords of Xiliang was whether to send troops to pursue them.

Although on the surface, only Yang Qiu asked this question, everyone was actually thinking about this matter.

Should I chase or not?

After thinking about it carefully, everyone actually had the answer in their minds.

To be honest, none of the people here really wanted to overthrow the Han court. The reason why they entered Guanzhong was purely because of the current situation, and entering Guanzhong might be profitable.

Could it be that who among them is idle and wants to have a vigorous "rebel against Han and reinstate Qin"?

Unrealistic.

Now Han Sui and Ma Teng's main force, as well as other warlords who followed them, have not arrived in the rear. The warlords present have been fighting fiercely with Liu Qi for several days, and all the troops have suffered considerable losses.

If they continue to pursue forcibly, even if they can defeat Liu Qi's main force, when they advance to Guanzhong and distribute their interests, will they still have the strength to compete for other people?

The answer is obvious—everyone understands the truth about one's rise and fall.

When he was young, Li Kan slowly spoke, "This... what kind of person Liu Boyu is, everyone here should know it in their hearts, right?"

Everyone turned to look at him.

Li Kan coughed softly and said, "Liu Boyu rode alone into Jingzhou and took Xiangyang for his father. In less than five years, he won a huge foundation in the battles of the south and the north. How could he be easily defeated by defeat? I feel that there is something strange here."

As soon as Li Kan said something, everyone understood what he meant.

Regardless of whether Liu Boyu's move was really weird... but at this moment everyone must follow Li Kan's words.

Liang Xingyan, who had not spoken, said: "Liu Qi is good at using troops. If he arranges ambush ahead to lure the enemy and we will pursue him rashly. At that time, the soldiers and generals will be damaged. I am afraid that the three armies will be strong, so it would be better to wait and see."

The candidate quickly responded: "That's the reason! Our team of troops has not arrived yet. If our few soldiers fall into the enemy's plan, they will be too passive. We should wait until Han Shuai and others arrive, and then discuss it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

...

Liu Qi's army evacuated from Ji County, which was insisted on opposing Wen Pin and others.

The generals mean that retreating to the rear so easily is not to say that they are showing weakness. If the Western Liang cavalry catches up with them, even if they arrange an ambush general, they may not be able to stop the opponent's offensive. At that time, there will be no city cover and only fighting on the plains. Wouldn't it be the same as the Western Liang army?

But Liu Qi dared to take risks and insisted on his own opinions.

He believed in Jia Xu's judgment and also recognized Jia Xu's judgment.

If there is only one commander in that army, this method will definitely not work.

But the other party is now more than ten troops.

In the face of interests, these more than ten troops and horses wanted to preserve their own strength while fighting.

As it turns out, Jia Xu and Liu Qi's guess is correct.

Candidates, Li Kan, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing and others, really watched the Jingzhou army retreat safely from Ji County, regardless of whether they were concerned, and let them come and go.

Soon, the Jingzhou army arrived at the Mianzhu Road at the junction of Liangzhou and Guanzhong, which was the valley road where Liu Qi broke through Xu Rong and Li Jue.

After observing the terrain of Mianzhu Valley, Liu Qi immediately ordered the three armies to set up camps in the dangerous land of Pingshan, and set up strong crossbows and ambushes in the valley as a defensive barrier.

The generals were also very impressed by Liu Qi's vision.

When everyone thought that they would be pursued by the other party by rashly retreating, Liu Qi was sure that the other party would not pursue it, and decisively ordered everyone to evacuate from Jicheng and come to Mianzhugu to head down the village.

This vision is actually above all the generals... Of course, no one knows that this is what Jia Xu thinks.

But the key question is, why did Liu Qi give up Jicheng and come to Mian to set up camps?

Where to fight with the other party, why not fight?

Liu Qi did not explain more like them, but waited for the second attack of the rebels in Liangzhou.

...

A few days later, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and all the remaining Liangzhou generals arrived.

After Han Sui arrived in Ji County, he first asked about Liu Qi's situation.

When Han Sui learned that Liu Qi had fought with his own troops in Ji County, but finally let Liu Qi retreat safely, Han Sui's face changed.

He narrowed his eyes and stared back and forth fiercely at several Liangzhou warlords, saying in a cold voice: "Since Liu Qi has fled from Ji County, why don't you chase him but let him go? Don't you know the reason for letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Liang Xing bowed and said, "Super Han Shuai, we have actually discussed this matter carefully... We fought against Liu Qi in Ji County. The army was not seriously injured, but took the risk of retreating from Ji County. According to our opinion, there must be something strange about this."

Yang Qiu also said: "Yes, Han Shuai, I'm going to tell you that the place where Liu Qi stationed troops now is Mianzhu Road. This place was where Liu Qi defeated Li Jue and Xu Rong in the past. We have thought about it. If he rashly advances, if he falls into Liu Qi's ambush and repeats the mistakes between Li Jue and Xu Rong in the past, it will be a small matter for the loss of troops and generals, and it will be a big matter for the three armies..."

Before he finished speaking, Han Sui suddenly slapped the table and interrupted Yang Qiu's words.

"You are just a coward, but why do you say that you are afraid of losing the spirit of the three armies? Isn't that ridiculous!" Han Sui said coldly.

Yang Qiu was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but become a little angry.

Although this allied army was indeed led by Han Sui, everyone was in charge of their own affairs, and there was no saying that who was the superior... If you have many soldiers and generals, can you denounce us unscrupulously?

The Liangzhou warlords present were all rough northwestern men, who would do anything if they were disagreeable.

Yang Qiu stretched out his hand, pulled out his sword from his waist with a whisper, and glared at Han Sui.

"Han Wen asked, we are fighting hard on the front line. You have not fired a single shot in the back formation, but now you are arrogant here. I really think we are afraid of you!"

"I'm against you!" Han Sui slapped the table and said angrily: "Take it down for me!"

When they finished speaking, they saw Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, candidates and others standing up one after another, standing next to Yang Qiu, and glaring at Han Sui.

Behind Han Sui, Yan Xing slowly drew out his sword and stood in front of Han Sui.

Seeing this, Ma Teng hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Download your weapons for me! When the enemy is facing the enemy, you will be in a civil strife first, what kind of discipline will it be!"

Liang Xing sneered and said, "Ma Shuai, you have seen it too. It's really because of our desire for civil strife. Han Shuai is aggressive and bullying too much. We fought with the Jingzhou army in blood, which damaged many soldiers. In the end, we couldn't even say anything comforting, but we were so cold and cold. What's the point of staying in this Allied Army? In my opinion, it's better not to go in here in Guanzhong."

Ma Teng sighed, turned to look at Han Sui, and shook his head at him.

Han Sui's face turned pale and then ordered Yan Xing to put away his weapons.
