Deng Xian had always been afraid of Deng Zheng, but now that Lingbao reminded him, a touch of fear immediately arose in his heart.
A man who is too old to die is a thief. Deng Zheng is very cunning. The camp must be well defended and will not be easily attacked.
After a long silence, Deng Xian said: "General, the army is short of food, but we cannot take the initiative to attack. In a few days, we will have to fight on an empty stomach. Does it mean that the general has a countermeasure...?" At this point, Deng Xian's eyes widened.
Staring at Lingbao, he asked: "General, what are your plans?"
Lingbao sighed and said: "We can only forcefully retreat. The current situation is that we have to retreat. Even if we are caught up by Deng Zheng and lose part of the army, we must retreat."
"Why?"
Deng Xian was a little confused. All along, Lingbao wanted to defeat Deng Zheng and lead an army to march straight in and attack Nanzheng.
Now Liangbao suddenly gave up the idea of defeating Deng Zheng, which made Deng Xian a little stunned.
However, Deng Xian was more happy in his heart. As long as Lingbao led the army to retreat, even if he was pursued and beaten fiercely by Deng Zheng, killing and wounding many soldiers, as long as he could get rid of Deng Zheng and return to Chengdu.
Lingbao sighed, spread his hands helplessly and said: "Deng Xian, I have no choice but to lead the army to retreat. The situation is critical now. Firstly, there is not enough food, grass and weapons to support it. Secondly, Wang Can leads the army to approach Chengdu.
Zhao Wei couldn't hold on anymore and asked me to lead his troops back and garrison in Chengdu. Alas, everything is not in our favor now."
Deng Xian rolled his eyes and said: "If this were the case, Deng Zheng would never let us lead the troops to retreat."
Lingbao nodded and said: "That's why I said that we must retreat even if we lose part of our army."
At this point, both of them remained silent.
Outside the big tent, there was a sudden rush of footsteps. The curtain of the tent was rolled up, and a scribe in Tsing Yi walked in. This man was Pang Xi's staff adviser. After Pang Xi died, the scribe in Tsing Yi followed Ling.
Bao Bao has become Ling Bao's right-hand man and confidant.
The scribe in green came in with a respectful expression, and said with cupped hands: "General, we just received news from the scouts that Yan Yan is leading the army to the north. It is only ten miles away from the camp."
"Hiss!" Lingbao took a sharp breath and said, "Let's find out more news!"
The invasion led by Yan Yan was definitely not a good thing for Lingbao. If not done, more than 10,000 troops under Lingbao's command would have to stay in Bachuan and would not be able to return to Chengdu.
"promise!"
The scholar in Tsing Yi cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, the scholar in Tsing Yi returned to the camp again, raised his hands and said: "General, Yan Yan led the troops to camp five miles outside the camp and stay. More importantly, the place where Yan Yan is stationed is very important. It is where we retreat.
If the general leads his troops to retreat on the way to Chengdu, he will inevitably have to fight a tough battle with Yan Yan. Only by defeating Yan Yan can he have a way out."
Lingbao waved his hand and dismissed the Tsing Yi scribe.
Seeing this, Deng Xian said: "General, what should we do if Yan Yan blocks the way?"
Lingbao looked solemn and said: "Yan Yan is no better than the old fox Deng Zheng. Yan Yan is younger, and he is both civil and military. His martial arts are extremely high. Yan Yan alone can easily kill the two of us. As long as Yan Yan is there
If we lead the troops and station them, we will not be able to return to Chengdu. Hey, if we had known this, we should not have competed with Deng Zheng. Now the way back is cut off by Yan Yan, and there is an army led by Deng Zheng in front of us that is chasing after us. It can be said that there are wolves in front of us.
There are tigers and leopards behind, it’s a headache!”
Just as Lingbao finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps coming from outside the camp.
A soldier ran in and shouted: "Report!"
His tone was urgent, revealing a hint of panic, and looking at the look on the soldier's face, he knew that something big had happened again. Seeing the soldier's hurried look, Lingbao felt agitated in his heart, and couldn't help scolding: "How unbecoming is it to be in such a hurry?"
, if you encounter something, explain it carefully and clearly?"
The soldier said: "General, Yan Yan came to the camp alone with an entourage and is now waiting outside the camp."
"What? Yan Yan is here?"
Lingbao suddenly stood up from his seat, his expression changed drastically.
"Huhu..." Lingbao took a few deep breaths to calm down his impetuous mood. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the sword placed next to the desk, hung it on his waist, and said: "Deng Xian, let's go, come with me."
Look." As he spoke, Lingbao took a step forward and walked outside the tent.
Deng Xian pressed the handle of the knife and quickly followed Lingbao out of the camp and walked outside the camp.
Lingbao and Deng Xian came to the gate of the camp and looked around. They saw Yan Yan wearing a black robe and a leather jacket. He did not wear armor or a helmet.
Behind Yan Yan, Yan Zhi stood solemnly, holding the large ring knife that Yan Yan carried with him, and followed behind Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan, the thief who betrayed the Lord, what are you doing here?"
Lingbao came outside the camp and suddenly shouted loudly.
With an angry look on his face, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a clang and pointed it at Yan Yan. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers also held spears and stared at Yan Yan.
As long as Lingbao says a word, the soldiers will rush forward and kill Yan Yan.
Yan Yan smiled slightly and said: "General Ling, Yan is here for you today. Could it be that the general asked Yan to speak here?"
"please!"
Seeing that Yan Yan was not afraid at all, Lingbao twitched the corner of his mouth twice and quickly sheathed the sword in his hand. He did not order Yan Yan to be killed, but instead waved his hand and welcomed Yan Yan into the camp.
Yan Yan laughed twice, waved her hand and said, "Please!"
The two of them entered the camp hand in hand, and Yan Yan walked with his head held high.
The soldiers around him saw Yan Yan chatting and laughing happily, with expressions on his face, and showed admiration.
There are not many people like Yan Yan who dare to rush into the enemy's camp alone. Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of an army, Yan Yan goes deep into the Yizhou military camp, which is already putting himself in danger. Once Lingbao orders an encirclement and killing
Yan Yan, even though Yan Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, it was difficult for him to escape the siege of the Yizhou Army, and he could only end up in despair.
Of course, things need to be treated separately.
Different situations have different ways of handling them. Yan Yan entered the Lingbao camp alone and made up his mind only after weighing and considering.
Yan Yan once interacted with Lingbao and knew Lingbao's character. Moreover, Yan Yan was once a general of the Yizhou Army. With this relationship, Yan Yan dared to go into the tiger's den alone. If it were Wang Can, I'm afraid
As soon as he entered the camp, he was surrounded by soldiers who rushed up like crazy, but unlike Yan Yan, he was able to enter the camp easily.
