"The little people are willing to ride the horse and the horse from now on. I hope the general will not dislike it."
Hearing this, Xiang Ning'er pondered for a while, then turned his head and looked at the generals.
Then he said: "Send some people to check on the other side to see if it is as he said."
"Yes, yes..." Li Guan, who was kneeling on the ground, also hurriedly responded: "The general will just send someone to check."
"There are really only three thousand people from our patrol battalion and garrison battalion left on the position."
"My brother has made arrangements over there. The soldiers have put down their weapons and are waiting for you to send someone to receive them."
Xiang Ning'er clicked and ordered: "In this case, send five thousand people from the forward battalion to drive directly over and see how they react."
"If it's like what Commander Li said, remember to treat others well."
After saying that, he thought about it and added: "Oh, by the way, if everything goes well, send out scouts immediately to find out where the enemy troops have withdrawn."
When Li Guan on the side heard this, he quickly added: "General, don't worry, how can you cross your high branches without carrying them through the wall ladder?"
"The villain has already sent his confidants to follow Xiang Yang's troops. I believe there will be news soon!"
As soon as he said this, Xiang Ning'er raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but cast a high look at the guy in front of her.
He immediately ordered the soldiers to untie him and praised him: "Commander Li is really thoughtful."
"If all this is true, you should be remembered as the first one!"
"Oh... Thank you so much, General... I'm so scared!" Li Guan bowed his head to her happily, showing his loyalty.
After about an hour, the general from the forward battalion rushed back.
With a look of joy on his face, he reported to Xiang Ning'er: "General, what this person said is indeed true. The enemy army has only three thousand men under his command, and there is no main enemy force left."
"Moreover, his three thousand men have laid down their weapons, and our people have taken over the defense."
"Okay..." Xiang Ning'er nodded: "Order the entire army to advance and prepare for the pursuit, and then send someone to Shangyun to inform Mr. Gu and let him pay attention."
"Yes!" A messenger responded, turned around and retreated.
After a while, someone brought in a soldier outside the door. Li Guan saw that it was the confidant he sent out.
He walked in, followed Li Guan and Xiang Ning'er, bowed respectfully, and reported: "Report to all generals."
"Xiang Yang's men and horses went all the way north at full speed without stopping on the way. The villain came back first to report, followed by brothers, who came back every hour to report."
"Not bad! Good job!" Li Guan was very happy when he heard this, and his face felt bright now.
He immediately turned around and asked Xiang Ning'er: "General, what should we do?"
"The road along the way is rugged. My analysis is that your army's offensive is so fierce. Even if they retreat to Yanzhou City, they may not be able to defend the old commander... uh... Xiang Tianxing..."
"We may not be able to defend until Xiang Tianxing's army comes back for reinforcements."
"So, the villain makes a bold analysis and thinks that Xiang Yang is very likely to set up another ambush on the road, and it will take a few days to delay."
Hearing what he said, Xiang Ning'er felt that this guy in front of her was very pleasing to the eye. Xiang Ning'er still agreed with his analysis.
But the only thing is that they still don't know that Yanzhou City has fallen long ago.
After coming to the sand table and analyzing it carefully, Xiang Ning'er felt that if Xiang Yang really wanted to ambush, he would probably have to join forces.
Otherwise, the actions of both sides will not be unified. If one side is breached by the enemy, the other side will be in danger.
If analyzed this way...it seems that only the three-way intersection between the two cities leading to Yanzhou City is the most suitable.
There is still some distance from Yanzhou City. After fighting an ambush, and then withdrawing Yanzhou City's guards, Xiang Tianxing will surely be delayed until Xiang Tianxing returns for reinforcements.
Moreover, when they got there and joined forces, Xiang Yang gained some confidence and was not afraid of problems arising from inconsistency between the two sides.
Facing the sand table, Xiang Ning'er said slowly: "If we retreat and stage an ambush, the defenders of the two cities must act in unison."
"So...it's probably the same over there in Shangyun County."
"They want to ambush, and I think the best place to do it is this Tiancha Gorge. What do you think?"
After listening to Xiang Ning'er's analysis, the generals talked with each other and expressed their support.
Even Li Guan on the side thought it was here, and he didn't forget to flatter him and said: "Oh my... the general is really a heavenly being!"
"That guy Xiang Yang must have been hiding here."
"Hahaha... This is all thanks to Commander Li's intelligence!" Xiang Ning'er heard this and said with a smile, "In that case, I will assign you a task."
"Yes, yes... you just make arrangements, the little people will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Li Guan quickly agreed.
Xiang Ning'er nodded, and then ordered: "Okay... Since Xiang Yang's side is followed by a detective horse sent by Commander Li, in order to prevent misunderstanding."
"You should be the vanguard."
Then he quickly comforted: "But don't worry, I will never let you go deep alone. I will send a forward battalion to act with you."
"There is no need for you to fight with him. Just follow him from a distance and try not to be discovered."
"My army will follow closely behind and will definitely ensure your safety."
"This..." Li Guan hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, Xiang Ning'er's words made sense.
After all, it was his own people who were following Xiang Yang's team. If other teams were to pursue them, there would be trouble if there was a misunderstanding.
Besides, they not only sent an elite forward battalion to act with them, but also made it clear that they would not allow themselves to fight with them.
If you don't even agree to this, then you are really asking for trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Guan stamped his feet, raised his hands to Xiang Ning'er, nodded and agreed: "Since the general has issued an order, I should obey it."
"This is the villain's first mission after turning from darkness to light. It must be completed well! General, don't worry!"
Seeing his reaction, Xiang Ning'er was very satisfied, and then turned around and ordered the commander of the forward battalion: "You will direct the actions of the two battalions."
"Let Commander Li assist you. I hope you will have a happy cooperation!"
"Yes!" The commander of the forward battalion agreed, and he and Li Guan immediately walked out of the commander's tent and prepared to go.
Seeing this, Xiang Ning'er immediately ordered the messenger: "Send someone to Shangyun again to inform General Gu that once the enemy is found to be retreating, pursue them immediately."
"But don't just follow him, don't fight. Tell him, the enemy army will probably retreat to the Tiancrack Gorge."
"Yes!" the messenger agreed, turned around and ran out quickly.
Xiang Ning'er immediately ordered the generals: "Generals, listen to your orders!"
"Assemble the troops, leave some soldiers to defend the city, and follow me to pursue the enemy!"
