As soon as Yang Qinhai's order to retreat came out, the Tujia troops below immediately dispersed and dispersed in all directions. If you want to ask them where they ran, they didn't know. They only knew that if they didn't run, they would be killed on the spot and rushed to hell.
Zhang Wu naturally saw the retreat of Tujia Fort. Unexpectedly, he just looked at the scene in front of him calmly and allowed the Tujia army to retreat without ordering a pursuit.
Upon seeing this, Hu Yongjun paused, ran to Zhang Wu thoughtfully, and pointed at the scattered Tujia troops, "Commander Zhang, the enemy has escaped. If we don't chase them, we will really let them escape."
Looking at the Tujia troops fleeing in all directions, Zhang Wu couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart. Unfortunately, Ling Yun had an order when he arrived, not allowing the army to pursue the fleeing enemies, otherwise why would this have happened.
"The commander of the army has an order not to pursue!"
Zhang Wu shook his head, a look of regret flashed across his face.
Hu Yongjun frowned and asked in confusion, "Why...why is this?"
Zhang Wu glanced at him and did not answer.
Just at this time, Guo Yixiu came over with a smile, looked at Hu Yongjun, and explained, "I will answer this. This is the order of the Army Commander. The Army Commander thought that our soldiers did not know the terrain of Tujia Fort very well. If at this time
If you pursue the enemy in a hurry, you may be counterattacked by the enemy, and the gain outweighs the loss!"
The military commander Guo Yixiu mentioned was naturally Ling Yun.
"oh!"
Hu Yongjun slapped his thigh suddenly, and he suddenly woke up.
Although Zhang Wu gave an explanation just now, he did not explain the reason, which made him puzzled. Now after hearing Guo Yixiu's words, he sincerely admired Ling Yun's thoughtfulness. He had already thought of the arrangements after the ambush before sending troops, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Ling Yun.
Stand in awe and worship.
Make strategic plans and win the battle thousands of miles away.
Hu Yongjun was filled with emotion and whispered softly, "The ancients never deceived me."
He calmed down and exclaimed, "Oh! If General Guo didn't mention it, he almost forgot to mention that the Tujiabao hills are filled with jungles and the terrain is extremely complex. If someone is not from the fort, or someone from the fort is leading the way, he will enter the mountain without authorization.
, if you’re not careful, you won’t be able to get out for ten days and half a month.”
When Zhang Wu heard this, he began to realize that something was wrong. At first, Ling Yun gave an order not to pursue the enemy after ambushing him. Although he obeyed the arrangement verbally, he actually thought in his heart that this was a sign of caution.
In the final analysis, he is just cowardly.
Now after hearing Hu Yongjun's words and thinking about the terrain of Tujia Fort, I suddenly woke up and completely changed my mind. I was even more impressed with Ling Yun's decision.
If we pursued, we would have to divide our troops. The soldiers did not know the terrain of Tujia Fort very well. If they were accidentally led into the jungle, the enemy would attack them again, with disastrous consequences.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wu waved his hand and said, "Okay, the commander of the army has an order. I don't need to say anything. Quickly clean the battlefield and count the number of people, so that I can go back and resume my duties."
"Yes, Commander Zhang!"
…
"Report to...commander, good news..."
Ling Yun was sitting in the front hall of the castle when he suddenly heard a sound and immediately looked outside the door. It turned out that it was Li Feibai who had returned.
This guy Li Feibai, he had clearly asked him to guard the clan leaders of the various ethnic groups in Tujia Fort. It was better for him to run directly to the battlefield while he was not paying attention. He said he was going to kill the enemy. No matter how you looked at it, he felt that he couldn't stay idle.
Going out to look for trouble.
This guy's temperament is exactly the same as Yang Sanniu's, they are both unreliable guys!
"snort!"
So when he saw him coming back, Ling Yun turned dark and snorted.
"Hey~ Commander..."
Li Feibai rubbed his hands and laughed twice.
Ling Yun turned his head and looked aside, not wanting to pay attention to him at all.
When Li Feibai saw this, he understood that Ling Yun was angry.
After following Ling Yun for so long, I naturally understood that he was willing to accept the soft rather than the hard, so he knelt on the ground with a bang, and said sadly, "Master Yun, I...I was wrong. You want to punish me, and I am willing to be punished.
!”
Li Feibai dared to say this, so he naturally understood that Ling Yun would not really order someone to beat him, so he was so unscrupulous.
After hearing this, Ling Yun smiled strangely.
Turning around, he looked at him interestingly, showing an evil smile, "Are you sure?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Feibai raised his head and met Ling Yun's evil smile. He seemed to be planning some conspiracy, which made him feel frightened.
"Yes...sure!"
Li Feibai was not sure at all, but the words had already been spoken, and even if he wanted to regret it, it was too late.
But what surprised Li Feibai next was that Ling Yun did not continue the topic. Instead, he nodded and returned to the topic, "Yeah! Let's talk about punishment later."
"Since you have come back from the battlefield, the battle must have been over. Tell me how the battle went?"
Li Feibai asked with confusion, "Master Yun, how did you know that the enemy was ambushed before I even had time to tell you?"
Ling Yun rolled his eyes at him and thought, is this even worth thinking about?
"Tell me! How is the battle going?"
Li Feibai pursed his lips and said slightly unhappy, "Master Yun, the enemy army was ambushed, with a total of more than 4,000 casualties."
After hearing this, Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction, "Four thousand people, huh~ That's not bad."
The Tujia army originally numbered just over 20,000 people. When fighting the Zhuang and others, they suffered nearly 5,000 casualties. When they withdrew, there were still more than 15,000 people. Zhang Wu ambushed and killed nearly 4,000 people. It was indeed a good record.
Ling Yun was satisfied with the result, but Li Feibai was not satisfied. He only heard him say angrily, "Master Yun, there are only 4,000 people, and nearly 10,000 people escaped. He killed less than a third of the enemy. If it weren't for the commander,
There is an order not to pursue them with a large army, I must...must wipe them all out."
Ling Yun only smiled at these words.
Li Feibai said in surprise, "Master Yun, you...why don't you find it strange that it's a great opportunity to annihilate the Tujia army, so why doesn't the commander let us pursue the enemy?"
Ling Yun smiled slightly, "Of course I don't think it's strange, because I gave this order."
"ah!"
Li Feibai was stunned.
"Okay, you go down first!"
Ling Yun waved his hand and asked him to step back first.
Li Feibai had many questions in his heart and wanted to ask them clearly, but Ling Yun waved his hand and asked him to leave, so he could only return in frustration.
…
"Clan Chief Pan, what do you think of what I said?"
In a side hall of the Holy Fort, there is a group of elders sitting. If you look closely, you can find that this group of people looks familiar, because they are the heads of the various tribes in Tujia Fort. Ling Yun is sitting directly above the hall, looking at
Looking at the person on the lower left, the person in sight is Pan Changhe.
What Ling Yun just mentioned was about the merger of Tujiapu into Nanyi Prefecture.
Three days ago, the Tujia army was ambushed by the Nanyi army, killing nearly 4,000 people. The remaining soldiers fled in two directions. And just yesterday, the Nanyi army had captured the 3,000 Tujia troops who fled south one by one.
Unfortunately, Yang Qinhai was not found.
The Holy Fort has been controlled, and now only the ethnic group headed by the Zhuang is left without control.
Of course, Ling Yun didn't want to go on a killing spree and kill all the strong young men in Tujia Fort before he would stop. So he thought of a good way, which was to incorporate every bit of Tujia Fort's jurisdiction into the Nanyi Prefecture. That's why he
There is this scene today.
Pan Changhe looked at the other people in the hall. Several people had different expressions, their eyes flicked back and forth, and they hesitated to speak...
Seeing this, Pan Changhe stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhizhou, I still need to discuss this matter with the clan leaders of each clan. I wonder if you can move to the backyard and rest for a while?"
When Ling Yun heard this, he understood what Pan Changhe meant. It was because of his presence that other people in the hall did not dare to speak.
"In this case, I will take my leave first!"
Anyway, he spoke earnestly and carefully, giving examples of the various benefits of Tujiapu's merger with Nanyi Prefecture. That's it. What to choose is their business.
In Ling Yun's heart, there is only one decision, that is, they must agree. Active consent is the best. If they refuse to agree, then their subordinates will see the truth and beat them until they agree.
