Liu Yu's central army stopped about 150 miles from Jinyao City, and began to station without advancing or retreating. The Turks did not understand, and even the soldiers under Jinyao City and Liu Yu could not understand what he was going to do.

"Let Huo Bing lead his troops out of the city and meet with us!" Liu Yu ordered Li Mi, who was about to go to Jin Yaocheng to inform him.

Li Mi wanted to say something, but she didn't say it out loud. This was Liu Yu's arrangement, and he had his own reasons. Although everyone didn't understand, there was a city ahead to serve as a base, so why did he withdraw his army to the grassland in the wilderness?

"What, I didn't bring me food, but I actually wanted to evacuate. Wouldn't I still have to be hungry for a day?" After Huo Bing received the order conveyed by Li Mi, he was extremely angry and sat on the city wall and said, "I haven't eaten enough, I can't walk, and I will never leave the city!"

Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng looked at each other. They thought that handing over the city defense to Huo Bing was the right choice, but now it seems that this kid is completely erratic. No matter what Liu Wenyan's order is, the most important thing now is to supplement supplies. There are many soldiers in the city who have been living by gnawing on the grass these two days. This kind of life is simply torment.

A person who came over was Hua Ji'an and said something to Huo Bing's ear. Huo Bing immediately glared at his eyes, and seemed to be in a difficult situation. Finally, he said helplessly: "Retreat if you retreat, you can retreat first, I will lead the troops behind the palace!"

Not only Li Mi, but even Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng also felt that Hua Ji'an was not simple. Hua Ji'an was a surrendered general of the Huai Army. Logically speaking, no one in the army would be willing to listen to his opinions, but Huo Bing seemed to trust him very much. It was useless for Li Mi to use Liu Yu's order to suppress Huo Bing. Hua Ji'an said something in Huo Bing's ear and asked him to submit.

So the Shunchao army in the city withdrew its troops and moved south to meet with Liu Yu's central army. Because Huo Bing was responsible for the rear of the palace, Li Mi had questions in his heart and had to ask Hua Ji'an. Who knew that Hua Ji'an was very disrespectful and bowed: "I will explain this matter to the vanguard general!"

Li Mi went to the army this time and his military position was not changed. His position was the same as Hua Ji'an, so Hua Ji'an did not need to be respectful to him, and his speech was completely polite from his colleagues. Li Mi sighed. This time, he had never seen the opportunity to make achievements. He was just a choreographer by Liu Yu's side, which made him very upset. Even this surrendered general was rude to him, which made him feel that he shouldn't have come to this trip.

After the war ended, Li Micai found out from many sources. It turned out that what Smallhua Ji'an said to Huo Bing was: "If you don't withdraw, will the person named Liu rely on your credit even more?"

Looking back, Li Mi thought about it, this was a bit unpleasant. Hua Ji'an could understand it if he didn't want to say it in public, and then he felt relieved.

In the Dashun Central Army formation, Liu Yu had ordered the digging of pits and trenches on the grassland. The piles of soil and soil bundles were piled up on the ground as bunkers. Li Mi didn't say it, but Sui Yi was impatient and he always had to ask the matter clearly, so Sui Yi went to the central army's tent to find Liu Yu anxiously.

"Brother Liu. There is Jin Yao City ahead. You said it would be great for us to enter the city. The city walls are high and there is a house to sleep. Why do you need to sleep here in the wind and eat in the open air? Dig those pits and piles of macaques, and you can't get to know each other as well as the city walls. What's the use?"

Liu Yu was originally looking listlessly at the storytelling book and was bored. Hearing the words, he looked up at him and asked, "Do you know how many soldiers we have?"

Sui Yi was asked by a simple question. What he knew was that Liu Yu brought out not many troops from Chang'an City this time, only about four or five thousand. After joining the border troops, most of the border troops were remnants of defeated soldiers gathered from the front line, scattered everywhere, and it was even more difficult to count them.

"Hundreds of thousands?" Sui Yi said with an indifferent expression, "What does it matter if it is more or less? It has something to do with whether he or not he goes to the city?"

Liu Yu threw the storytelling book on the hand and put his legs on it, saying, "Who says it doesn't matter. Since you don't know, I'll tell you carefully. Now, our troops, including the more than 10,000 remaining soldiers in Jin Yaocheng, have only 50,000 troops!"

Sui Yi was shocked and hurriedly said, "No way? That's it? We don't have an army of 200,000, even if it's not enough, it should be almost the same... So we only have 40,000 troops here now?"

"Not 40,000!" Liu Yu picked up a stick and pointed to the military map hanging on the screen and said, "There are as many as 70,000 to 80,000. If we include the reinforcements sent by the Turkic royal court, the Turkic cavalry alone are more than 100,000. Although we have 40,000 troops, more than half of them are infantry. How can you fight this battle?"

"Brother Liu is preparing to withdraw?" Sui Yi asked.

Liu Yu shook his head and sighed, "You can't retreat. With this retreat, the borders of Dashun Dynasty will not be peaceful in the next few decades. You and I will be sinners! This battle must be fought and won."

Sui Yi was completely panicked like this. He originally thought that following Liu Yu was going to win battles and make achievements. He discussed with Li Mi in private, and the results were very consistent. That is, how could he not win a great victory after following Liu Yu? Who knew that the current situation would be so embarrassing. In the past, Dashun Dynasty could have a stalemate with the Turks in the northern border. One was to rely on the dangerous pass, and more importantly, Dashun Dynasty had the advantage of military strength and gained a draw.

The military and horses have the advantage, but the battle is not easy to fight, not to mention that the military and horses are now at a disadvantage, and more than half of the Turkic troops are missing.

Sui Yi calmed down for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Brother Liu, since we have fewer troops than the Turks, we cannot fight head-on with the Turkish cavalry. We shouldn't be stationed outside the city and enter the city and have a support, isn't it safer?"

Liu Yu said helplessly: "Do you want me to be the second Min Shaoqing, harm the soldiers of the Dashun Dynasty again, and then guard the city and wait for the court to send a group of reinforcements to rescue us?"

Sui Yi understood what Liu Yu meant, that is, Liu Yu did not enter the city because he was afraid of being trapped by the Turks.

"Not it?"

"Why didn't we have 50,000 troops and horses, short of soldiers and food, and when we entered the city, the Turkic cavalry attacked, what should we do? We don't want to abandon the city? The Turks trapped the city, and the troops were less than half of them. Do you think we can break out?"

Liu Yuyue said that Sui Yi felt more and more frightened. Think about it carefully, no? It would be fine if the troops were superior. Now the troops were at a great disadvantage. When they entered the city, it would be like digging a hole and burying themselves, waiting for the others to get trapped.

Liu Yu picked up the storytelling book and continued: "The best way now is to station outside the city and confront the Turks. They don't know how many troops we have. Even if we come to attack, we will not be at a disadvantage when we fight in the wild and have firearms."

"But Brother Liu said that we can't afford to spend less soldiers and food?"

"Who said he wanted to waste time with them?" Liu Yu glanced at Sui Yi again, and he refused to reveal the remaining more detailed content.

Sui Yi thought about it and not to waste time with the Turks, that would be a decisive battle?

Sui Yi was shocked. Now there are only a few people, and the decisive battle with the Turks is no different from seeking death.

"Know your enemy and yourselves, and you will win every battle!" Liu Yu threw the book to Sui Yi, "Go back and read the military books well, don't come here if you have nothing to do, and come and cause trouble for me!"

Sui Yi walked out of the tent with a military book in disappointment, thinking that he was worried about it. Seeing Liu Yu's calm and composed look, he must be confident. Think about it again, whether it was the battle of Kuishui River or the battle of pacifying the Huai King, Liu Yu won the most with few defeats, especially the battle of Kuishui where he personally participated, the disadvantages of the military and horses were really not a little bit. In the end, he still won a great victory and achieved success.

Thinking of this, Sui Yi's energy also aroused, but when he thought about it, the battle beside the Kuishui River was due to the right time and place, so he set up an ambush in advance. Now, in the territory of the Turks and the vast grassland, if you can win by digging a few pits and piled up a few soil buns, it will become a myth.

"Go, Brother Liu is holding me back when the sky falls, how can I fuck me!"

Sui Yi took the military books and returned to his tent. After reading the military books, he felt bored at first, but later some practical stories were told that ancient famous generals went to battle to kill the enemy with a lot of wisdom, so he read it as a storytelling book. It seemed that he was enjoying it and was quite satisfying.

The remaining soldiers of Jin Yaocheng joined Liu Yu's central army for more than a day. Although the combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers was not weak, their bodies were obviously unbearable. As soon as they gathered, they started to eat and drink. They were all like hungry ghosts reincarnated. Min Shaoqing, Ma Feng, the original central army generals, including Liu Yu's old acquaintance He Mao, had all gone to see Liu Yu and handed over the dragon talisman and tiger talisman. Liu Yu officially became the commander of the three armies.

One or two days later, the Shunchao army had no movement and kept digging trenches and piled up soil buns. Everything seemed to be quiet. However, every night, the Shunchao army would retreat a mile to station the camp, which made the Turks very puzzled. What made them even more puzzled was that the pit dug the day before would be filled by themselves the next day. Maybe they thought the pit was wrong, but it was like this for three consecutive days. The Turks could not sit still. Isn’t this a conspiracy?

"I think these cowards want to run away!"

At the tribal meeting, a leader expressed his opinion, and many people nodded in agreement. If the army of Shunchao did not want to retreat, why should we retreat one mile a day?

But if you think about it, you only need to retreat one mile a day, and you have to retreat to Beiguan in the Dashun Dynasty. Wouldn’t you have to retreat for several years?

Now the two armies are nearly 300 miles apart. If the Shunchao army continues to retreat like this and suddenly withdraw rapidly overnight, it may be too late to chase them. Now that the Iron Wolf Guards of the Turkic Royal Court and the reinforcements of other tribes have not arrived yet, they cannot give a fatal blow to the Shunchao army. So the leaders of the tribes decided to push the camp 200 miles and stationed in the direction of a hundred miles north of the Shunchao army. In this way, they were backed by Jinyao City. If the Shunchao army suddenly rushed forward, they could retreat to the city.
