After Gao Bufan finished asking questions, he pointed at the prisoner to translate and ordered: "Come here, tie him up and take him with you."

Two government soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up the translator. The latter was shocked and angry, and asked loudly: "I have answered all your questions, why are you still kidnapping me? You said that anyone who understands Sui Mandarin can survive.

You can’t break your promise”

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will only temporarily detain you for a few days." After saying that, he waved his hands, and the two government soldiers blocked the mouth of the prisoner's translator and threw him onto a grain cart.

.

The prisoner's translator was also sensible. When he heard that his life was not in danger, he resigned himself to his fate and lay on the cart without moving.

"Mr. Gao, do you have any plans for the next step?" Qin Qiong asked politely with his hands raised. Guo Zisheng and Dewei also looked over, their eyes obviously more respectful than before.

As long as a person has real skills, his prestige will naturally and slowly be built up, and even veterans have to face it.

Gao Bufan said solemnly: "Although we have temporarily broken through the enemy's encirclement, we are far from safe. The enemy has dispatched 10,000 people this time, including 2,000 cavalry. These two thousand cavalry pose the greatest threat to us.

"

Qin Qiong nodded with deep understanding and said: "We left a lot of traces on the ground when we evacuated. I believe that the enemy's two thousand cavalry will catch up soon. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."

Guo Zisheng and Du Wei looked at each other sternly, and the latter interrupted: "This place is located in a plain area. If we are caught up by these two thousand cavalry, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So we have to leave here as soon as possible." Gao Bufan said.

Guo Zisheng smiled bitterly and said: "How can two legs outrun four legs? It will be a matter of time before we are overtaken."

Gao Bufan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly: "Then let's deal with them first."

Dewey shook his head and said: "That's two thousand cavalry, not two hundred. We have just a few people, which is not enough for one charge."

Qin Qiong said: "Then make it impossible for them to charge. Mr. Gao, if there is suitable terrain and sufficient time to prepare, a certain family will be confident to deal with these two thousand cavalry."

Guo Zisheng and Dewey looked disapproving. This place is located in the Liaohe Plain. There is not even a mountain in a radius of hundreds of miles. The same number of infantry against the same number of cavalry will only lead to death. Qin Shubao is clearly fighting a toad against a heifer.

Haha - bragging.

Gao Bufan's eyes flashed with admiration. In ancient wars, although cavalry was the king, infantry had ways to deal with cavalry. For example, the powerful Tang Dynasty Modao Team was the nemesis of the cavalry. However, the Modao was expensive to make, and

The requirements for the stature and strength of Modao warriors are extremely high, so even in the powerful Tang Dynasty, the number of Modao troops was not large.

Not only are there no Mo Dao, but there are also no weapons such as hooks, sickles, spears, or chariots. Therefore, Gao Bufan doesn’t know where Qin Qiong’s confidence comes from, but it is always good to have confidence, and Qin Qiong is famous in history and has brilliant military exploits.

, there should be something special about him. Since he dares to say that he has a way to deal with two thousand cavalry, he must have this ability.

Therefore, Gao Bufan cheered up and said, "I happen to know a suitable place. It's not far from here, about thirty miles away."

Qin Qiong frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. Even if we can get there, we won't have time to make arrangements. If someone's prediction is correct, the enemy's cavalry can catch up within an hour."

Gao Bufan said confidently: "If there are no conditions, then create conditions. If there is no time, then delay time."

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "What's the plan?"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Of course it confuses his eyes and confuses his mind." Gu

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but Qin Qiong did not ask any more questions about how to confuse their eyes and confused their minds.

Soon, the brothers who died in the battle were buried, the injured brothers were bandaged, and the battlefield was simply cleaned according to Gao Bufan's instructions. Only bows and arrows, shields, grain, and horses were taken away, and all other types of weapons were not required.

It is worth mentioning that fifteen horses were captured in this battle. In addition to the twenty horses captured during the previous attack on the supply point, the entire team now has as many as seventy-two horses. If I hadn’t inquired last night,

The scouts who reported the news lost eight men, and the number of horses was eighty.

Now everyone set off again, and nearly a hundred captured Goguryeo soldiers were also brought with them. Everyone wondered why Gao Bufan wanted to take the prisoners with him. This would only slow down everyone's speed, so they either killed them or let them go.

What's going on when we hit the road?

But soon, everyone understood why Gao Bufan took the prisoners with him. After walking five miles away, Gao Bufan asked Pei Xingyan to lead the cavalry and escort the prisoners in another direction, while the large army continued to the southeast.

Marching in a hurry, two footprints were left on the ground.

"Brother Qin, Gao Changqing is really cunning. He left two traces. Then the enemy's cavalry will definitely split up to chase. Then we will face much fewer cavalry at the same time." Luo Shixin praised while riding his horse.

Fifteen war horses were captured in this battle. Gao Bufan was very fair. Almost every general received one, including Luo Shixin.

Qin Qiong nodded and said: "I'm afraid there are more than just these methods."

Sure enough, after everyone had walked about two miles, they saw thick smoke billowing in the distance. Judging from the direction, it must be Pei Xingyan and the others who were setting fire.

Let's say that Pei Xingyan and others set fire as they walked and drove the prisoners about five miles due south. They immediately divided into two groups. Pei Xingyan led half of the people to continue south, while Su Dingyue led the other half to the southwest. They were still in one group.

Go ahead and set fire along the way.

At noon, Pei Xingyan and Su Dingyue both ordered the prisoners to continue moving forward and not to look back. Anyone who dared to look back would be shot directly.

After shooting several dishonest prisoners, both groups of prisoners continued to move forward fearfully, while Pei Xingyan and Su Dingyue each led their cavalry to meet at the agreed upon location.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Pei Xingyan and Su Dingyue finally successfully reunited, but both of them were in extremely complicated moods at the moment, with no smiles in sight, and even a little solemn.

The place where they met was near the supply point they had taken away last time, and next to it was the tributary of the Liao River.

Su Dingyue looked at the slowly flowing river hesitantly and said in a deep voice: "Xingyan, are we really not going back to meet Mr. Gao? Isn't this too unjust?"

Pei Xingyan frowned and said, "It's true that it's not very righteous, but this is what Chang Qing meant."

Su Dingyue took a deep breath and said, "Okay, what should we do next?"

Pei Xingyan raised his head and looked at the blue sky. Ma Shan said in one fell swoop: "Of course I will rob his mother and burn his mother. The bigger the chaos, the better. It is best to attract all the enemy's cavalry. That way, we will have a better relationship with them."

The safer it is.”

Su Dingyue nodded and said: "Okay, steal his mother and burn his mother!"

"Grab his mother, burn his mother!" dozens of cavalrymen under his command shouted in unison.
