On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 551
Li Yuan and Dou Dan died suddenly, and they didn't have time to leave a last word, and they couldn't make arrangements for their affairs.

Master Feng, as the commander of the army, has undoubtedly become the backbone in the eyes of everyone.

However, Young Master Feng was so shocked that he was in a daze. Everyone saw it and was anxious. Anyone who could speak up in front of him tried to persuade him:

"Boss Li and Dou Sima were unfortunately killed. Please Feng Changshi bear the pain and lead me to wait for the class teacher."

"Yes, Feng Changshi, tens of thousands of soldiers can only look up to you for their lives and deaths."

"I also ask Feng Changshi to put state affairs first! Don't continue to be immersed in grief!"

After endless calls, Master Feng finally came out. His eyes were red and swollen, obviously he had cried a lot, and he even needed help before he could walk.

However, Xue Ju didn't think Master Feng was really that sad.

It was his father-in-law who died, not his own father.

But Xue Ju also knew that if he was faced with such a situation, he would be more distressed than Master Feng.

Young Master Feng cheered up and said:

"Feng has already heard all your requests. Now that the army has no fighting spirit, they can't stay in Zhangye County any longer. They need to be dispatched as soon as possible.

"Feng doesn't know anything about military affairs, so I need you to give me some pointers along the way."

This piece of Yecheng can no longer be fought, at least not now.

From the prefect, the school lieutenant, down to the pawn, no one has the intention to continue fighting.

Leave as soon as possible, this is the consensus of all.

What they need is not a wise commander, but a leader to lead everyone to withdraw.

No one dared to retreat privately. If they broke up in a crowd, no one would be able to afford Cui Che to hold them accountable afterwards.

Even if the attack on Zhangye was thwarted, it was only a mob. Cui Che's real elite were still distributed in Guanzhong and Dingjun Mountain.

Li Yuan's death, at most, was to delay Cui Che's pace of unifying the north, so that the Yanzi flag could be planted on the head of Zhangye city later.

After everyone agreed in unison and confirmed Feng Shaoshi's temporary leadership, Feng Shaoshi worried:

"When the army marches out, there is a lot of movement. It's hard to hide it from Shishi Yin. I don't know who can lead the army to cut off my heir."

This was exactly the opportunity Xue Ju hoped for. When everyone was hesitating, he stepped out and clasped his hands:

"The last general is willing to end the long history!"

Master Feng had obviously heard of Xue Ju's reputation, and he was also deeply impressed by his performance today in taking the lead and ascending to the top of the city first.

But considering the heavy casualties under Xue Ju's command, Feng Shaoshi hesitated.

He didn't want the rear troops to be easily defeated, making it easy for the pursuers to catch up with the large troops and turn the retreat into a city.

He can't bear this responsibility.

Just as Master Feng was hesitating, Colonel Xihe Lieutenant Zong Luohu stepped forward:
"The final general is willing to end the empress together with Captain Xue!"

Shaoshi Feng was overjoyed, so he handed over the post-break task to the two, and immediately organized the army to leave Zhangye with the flesh and blood of Li Yuan and Dou Dan regardless of the getting dark.

And the messenger who reported to Cui Che hastened his horse even more, going south ahead of time, and will go to Dingjun Mountain via Qishan Road.

Xue Ju and Zong Luohu were lying in ambush on the only way Zhangye defenders were pursuing. Xue Ju smiled and said to Zong Luohu:

"If Yin Shishi led the troops to pursue and was ambushed by you and me, and we took advantage of the victory to enter Zhangye City and seize the city, it must be a great achievement."

Now there are no outsiders, only Zong Luohu who is close to him is left, so naturally there is no need to pretend to be sad.

Zong Luohu is also looking forward to this very much. If he can capture Zhangye under such a bad situation, he must be able to win the eyes of King Yan.

However, the two waited all night, but Zhangye's defenders never came out of the city.

When the sky was slightly bright, Xue Ju and Zong Luohu looked at each other, full of helplessness.

Full of reluctance, the two led the troops back and went to chase Feng Shaoshi's team.

Yin Shishi really didn't have the energy to go after Feng Shaoshi at this time, he was busy appeasing his followers.

After winning the battle, the soldiers need to be appeased and comforted, which is a new thing.

The most feared thing in war is that it is mixed with personal grievances, just like Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou.

Xue Ju and Zong Luohu traveled all day and night, and finally caught up with Feng Shaoshi.

Seeing that Yin Shishi didn't pursue him, Shaoshi Feng finally let go of his hanging heart.

The prefects and captains of the counties along the way bid farewell to Master Feng one after another and returned to their respective counties.

Feng Shaoshi only brought the soldiers of Qi and Qin states back to Tianshui.

Qiu He had already heard the news at this time.

Previously, in order to inform Cui Che of Li Yuan's death as soon as possible, Young Master Feng adopted the method of changing people and horses, and postmen from various places relayed the message, so that the news could be delivered day and night.

The postmen had changed in Tianshui, so Qiu He would naturally find the postmen who were replaced to understand the situation.

Even though he was mentally prepared and knew that Li Yuan had died under the city of Zhangye, Qiu He still couldn't believe it when he actually saw the rotten meat.

"What the hell does this happen?"

Qiu He asked.

He only knew the general situation, but not the specific details.

Young master Feng showed grief again, and told all about the situation that day.

Hearing this, Qiu He could only lament that Li Yuan's luck was bad, and it was obviously the king of Yan who kindly gave him a credit, so why did he lose his life in vain.

Shaoshi Feng handed over the military power to Qiu He in Tianshui City. He first sent someone to transport the coffin to Yong County, and sent letters to Dou Shi, Li Shimin and others.

On the other hand, he rushed to Dingjun Mountain, confronted Cui Che about what happened that day, and listened to his admonition.

In fact, before Shaoshi Feng arrived in Tianshui, Cui Che had already learned of Li Yuan's death.

This incident was completely beyond his expectations.

Cui Che was indeed wary of Li Yuan, but he never thought of killing him.

The so-called time makes heroes, now that the north has been largely pacified by Cui Che, and Li Yuan has no outlet for him to transform into a dragon.

When Li Yuan was able to help him with all his heart, how could Cui Che want Li Yuan's life?

Having already cried in front of outsiders, Cui Che sighed alone in the tent:

"In this life, Master Yin didn't dig Li's ancestral grave, but you killed him yourself."

For a while, there was a bit of emotion about fate.

At this time, the work of damming and storing water in the upper reaches of the Hanchuan River had already been completed, and the excavation of the river ditch was coming to an end.

Cui Che didn't act arrogantly, and wanted to lead Bingbei to avenge Li Yuan.

He still clearly distinguishes the importance of Zhangye County and the three counties of Hanchuan.

But Cui Che did not continue to stay in Dingjun Mountain, but left Qin Qiong with an army of [-], and he took full charge of the battle of Hanchuan.

He led the rest of the troops back to Yong County.

Although Hanchuan is important, Guanzhong cannot afford to lose.

Cui Che worried that Li Yuan's death would affect the situation in Guanzhong.

After all, his food supply was sent to Daxing by water, and then transported from Daxing to the front line.

　I only wrote [-], and I am really sleepy, so I will go to bed first.
