After the army rested for a day, Wang Can summoned Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others to discuss matters.
Just as a few people started talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the camp.
A soldier hurriedly ran in, bowed respectfully to Wang Can, and said hastily: "Your Majesty, the scouts have received news that Han Sui has left the stronghold and retreated to Jicheng."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows, knowing that the situation had changed.
He waved his hand for the soldiers to retreat, and then asked: "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia said sternly: "My lord, I despise my position and think that we should march straight in and pursue Han Sui!"
Wang Can nodded slightly and said impassionedly: "The words of filial piety are exactly what I want. We have the upper hand, and it is time to go all out to annihilate Han Sui. Moreover, the Shaodang and Nan Qiang armies have retreated, and the soldiers under Han Sui have become homeless dogs.
, just in time to beat up the drowned dog and take this opportunity to destroy Han Sui!"
Zhang Ren clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I am the last general to ask for a battle. I am willing to lead the vanguard to pursue Han Sui."
Chen Dao also stood up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the last general also invites you to fight."
When the two men led soldiers to fight against the Shaodang and Nanqiang armies, they were scolded by Wang Can. After the army retreated, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren went to Wang Can's camp to plead guilty. However, Wang Can did not pursue the case.
, after all, victory has been achieved, and Chen Dao and Zhang Ren have also realized their mistakes, so there is no point in pursuing the blame.
Wang Can looked at Chen Dao and Zhang Ren and pondered for a while.
It would be appropriate for the two of them to lead the troops in pursuit.
After a while, Wang Can nodded and said, "Okay, you two will lead three thousand soldiers to chase Han Sui."
"Thank you, lord!"
There was joy on their faces, and they bowed happily to Wang Can, then turned and left the camp. After leaving the camp, Zhang Ren solemnly said: "Uncle Zhi, we must seize the opportunity to prevent Han Sui from escaping."
Chen Dao smiled and said: "The opportunity is right in front of you, so naturally you can't miss it."
The two men hurriedly gathered the soldiers and chased Han Sui.
In the camp, Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and ordered: "Fengxiao, Zhang Ren and Chen arrived to lead the troops and leave. We are also preparing to leave. You go and prepare, and then raise the troops and rush to Jicheng."
After hearing this, Guo Jia also left the camp.
…
Han Sui led his troops to retreat to Jicheng, marching almost all night without stopping.
Although the more than 10,000 soldiers led by Han Sui had complaints, the soldiers thought that Wang Can was about to catch up, so they cheered up, endured the pain of fatigue, and continued on their way.
Even Chen Dao and Zhang Ren couldn't catch up with such speed.
Also on the road, Han Sui led more than 10,000 soldiers to evacuate to Jicheng day and night. However, Chen Dao and Zhang Ren wanted to maintain the combat effectiveness of their soldiers and could not keep traveling late at night. After all, there was a long distance between them and Han Sui.
, it is impossible to catch up with Han Sui in one night or one day.
In this way, Han Sui was out of danger and was not overtaken by Chen Dao and Zhang Ren.
Han Sui galloped all the way, rarely taking a break.
However, even machines have to stop and rest after being used for a long time, let alone people?
After the army stopped to rest, Han Sui got off his horse and sat leaning against a stone. Yan Xing and Zhang Heng sat next to Han Sui, both with tired looks on their faces.
By this time, Han Sui's temples were already gray and he looked much older.
When he led the army to attack Wang Can, although he looked old, he looked heroic and majestic.
But now Han Sui looks like an old man.
In addition, Han Sui's shoulder was pierced by Wang Can's arrow, which caused Han Sui to suffer a lot. He was already an old man in his fifties, and his body's recovery ability was not as good as that of young people, and his physical fitness gradually began to decline, and now
I was constantly on the road and had no time to recuperate, so I kept dragging it on without fully recovering.
Zhang Heng was seriously injured. Although his left arm still hurt a little, it was already scabbed.
The recovery ability of young people is obviously better than that of Han Sui.
Han Sui sighed and asked, "Yanming, how many days will it take for us to return to Jicheng?"
Yan Xing replied loudly: "It will take two days to reach Jicheng. Don't worry, my lord, even if Wang Can leads an army to pursue us, it is impossible to catch up with us. Once we reach Jicheng, we will have food, grass and ordnance.
If Jicheng recruits soldiers to defend the city, they will definitely be able to stop Wang Can's army. Then Wang Can will not be able to persist for a long time with his troops on the expedition."
Han Sui nodded and said, "I hope so!"
After a pause, Han Sui asked in a low voice: "What's going on with Ma Mengqi?" After saying that, Han Sui raised his head and looked into the distance, looking at where Ma Chao and Ma Xiu were.
Yan Xing said: "The two of them are taciturn and do not interact with the generals in the army. There is not much movement."
Han Sui nodded and stopped talking.
Yan Xing also closed his eyes and rested his mind. After resting for a while, he had to continue on his way. A little rest time was very precious, so Yan Xing cherished it very much.
Half an hour later, Han Sui led his troops and continued on their way.
On the way, more than ten soldiers suddenly ran over from the direction of Jicheng. Among the soldiers, the leader was a small colonel. He led more than ten soldiers on the way. After encountering Han Sui's army,
There was joy on his face, then a hint of guilt, but he still hurried towards Han Sui's location.
Han Sui noticed the small school. When he saw the small school and more than ten soldiers, he suddenly showed a solemn expression.
The dozen or so soldiers in front of him were in tattered clothes, looked tired, and were very downcast. They had obviously encountered great difficulties. Seeing this, Han Sui had an ominous premonition in his heart.
After being inspected by the soldiers, the principal ran to Han Sui.
"boom!"
The principal fell to his knees on the ground and suddenly choked up.
Han Sui frowned, feeling even more worried, and asked hurriedly: "What happened?"
The principal's face was full of guilt, and he said slowly: "General, Longxi has been lost!"
When Han Sui heard this, his eyes suddenly widened. He slowly raised his hand, pointed at the primary school, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say, say it again?" Han Sui was completely stunned, his eyes motionless, and was caught by the soldier.
He was frightened by what he said. But he still didn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.
Next to them, Yan Xing and Zhang Heng trembled, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
The principal repeated again: "Longxi has been lost!"
"ah!!"
Han Sui exclaimed, and suddenly he felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes became dark, as if the sky was about to fall. Han Sui's hand holding the horse's rein suddenly released, his eyes closed, his body staggered, and he fell off the horse.
Come down.
Fortunately, Yan Xing noticed something was wrong with Han Sui's expression and had already dismounted his horse.
When Han Sui's body fell from the horse, Yan Xing immediately ran two steps and quickly reached out to catch Han Sui who fell from the horse, so that Han Sui did not fall to the ground. With Han Sui's body at the moment
In such a situation, if it really fell to the ground, I'm afraid half of my life would have been lost.
