Chapter 958: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain

"An urgent report from the front line!" Outside the house, the loud report from the personal soldiers came. Cao Yun and Yi Hongyuan looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

"Come in!" Cao Yun shouted in a deep voice.

A dusty school captain walked in with a letter in his hand and knelt in front of Cao Yun on one knee: "Prince, General Kuang Huai'en urgently reported that the main force of Emperor Chu Min Ruoying was running towards Kunling Pass. General Kuang believed that the garrison in the Phoenix Mountain area could not resist the death struggle of the Chu army, so he asked the prince to order and mobilize the troops to go to the Phoenix Mountain area to encircle the Chu army."

"Min Ruoying is heading towards Phoenix Mountain?" Cao Yun and Yi Hongyun were both surprised, "Shouldn't they go towards Wanzhou?"

Both of them were puzzled. The cavalry of Zhou Jiyun's troops in Wanzhou had been taken to Chang'an by Zhou Jiyun, and the main infantry forces went to the six eastern counties under the leadership of Yue Kaishan. Although Cheng Wuben had run away and Wanzhou fell back under the control of the Qi people, how could those county soldiers block the attack of the Chu Fire Phoenix Army? Passing through Wanzhou and heading straight to Jinghu County. Where, where did Cheng Wuben have gained a foothold and would inevitably send troops to respond. Isn't this the correct way for the Chu army to return to China?

Now that information has come, Min Ruoying is easy to give up, it is difficult to give up. She actually heads straight to the direction of Phoenix Mountain. It should be noted that on this route, the Qi army is full of soldiers. Even though Min Ruoying defeated the garrison in the area of ​​Phoenix Mountain, they fled back to Kunling and faced Yue Kaishan, who was waiting for his work.

Is Min Ruoying going crazy? She is going to joke about the lives of the 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army?

Cao Yun couldn't figure it out.

"Prince, there is a rift between Min Ruoying and Cheng Wuben. To be precise, Min Ruoying already completely distrusts Cheng Wuben." Yi Hongyuan reacted first.

"What do you mean?" Cao Yun asked.

"Cheng Wuben is in Wanzhou and did not work hard to rescue Min Ruoying. Instead, seeing that the situation is not good, he fled back to Jinghu. This incident must have angered Min Ruoying, or Min Ruoying even suspected that Cheng Wuben would be unfavorable to him, so he dared not go to Jinghu County." Yi Hongyuan said slowly: "Min Ruoying was not in a good position, and Cheng Wuben supported Min Ruocheng back then."

Cao Yun was stunned for a while, "But Cheng Wuben's response is the right way! If he dared to lead troops to Luzhou at that time, then we would have added more money to our contribution."

"Min Ruoying is a man with a heart attack." Yi Hongyuan smiled, "There are many rivers and lakes in Jinghu, and the Fire Phoenix Army is all cavalry. There is not much use of the weapon when he gets there. If Cheng Wuben really wants to do something, it is not impossible."

"Cheng Wuben is not that kind of person." Cao Yun shook his head and said, "I have been fighting with him for many years. I still know this person's character very well."

"The key is that Min Ruoying doesn't think so." Yi Hongyuan said: "Prince, this is really a good opportunity. It would be great if Min Ruoying wants to die. Even if she can't kill him, she can wipe out his Fire Phoenix Army, but she will cut off the Chu State's arm."

Cao Yun did not agree, and walked back and forth in the room, and after a while, he said, "Hongyuan, do you think Min Ruoying is easy to deal with, or Cheng Wuben is easy to deal with?"

Yi Hongyuan was stunned and was relieved for a while: "Military terms, of course, Cheng Wuben is more difficult to deal with. This person has kept Jinghu firmly, which is not a good thing for us."

"You're right!" Cao Yun walked back to the big case and leaned over on the map: "Although we occupied the six eastern counties, these six counties have no danger to defend. We must guard the army. Cheng Wu has occupied Jinghu and can launch an attack on the six eastern counties at any time. If we attack Jinghu, there are many disadvantages. Jinghu has many lakes, rivers and mountains, which is difficult to fight!"

"What does the prince mean?" Yi Hongyuan already had an enlightenment in his heart.

"The disagreement between the king and the ministers of Chu State is a great thing for us. It is difficult for us to deal with Cheng Wuben, but it is probably not difficult for Min Ruoying to deal with Cheng Wuben." Cao Yun raised his head, his eyes lit up. "Chu State General An Ruhai is already a bird in a cage. Jiang Tao has died in the battle, and only one Cheng Wuben is left to support the overall situation. If Cheng Wuben is taken away by them, then Chu State will be exhausted."

"The prince forgot that there is another Luo Liang." Yi Hongyuan reminded.

Cao Yun shook his head disdainfully: "Luo Liang may be a good general, but let him be the commander and command the overall situation, but this person's vision is far from enough. He can plan for a while, but cannot plan for all momentum, and can defend a corner, but it is difficult to take the overall situation. If such a person becomes the commander of the Chu army again, then it is not a dream for us to win a great victory in Luzhou."

"What the prince means is to let Min Ruoying return?"

"No," Cao Yun said decisively. "If we keep Min Ruoying, we will force Chu to a dead end and the emperor is captured or killed, that would be a great humiliation. I am afraid that they will immediately establish a new emperor, and the whole country will come to us for trouble. The most important thing is that the new emperor will definitely value Chengfu, which is not a good thing."

"Even if Min Ruoying is to be released, those tens of thousands of Fire Phoenix Army can still be kept." Yi Hongyuan said.

"No, no!" Cao Yun shook his head repeatedly: "If Min Ruoying returns home alone, then what will he use to deal with Chengwuben? Of course, he has to be confident and have the capital."

"If Min Ruoying returns to China like this, I am afraid that there will be more unfavorable voices to the prince from the court, and I will even say that you will let the tiger return to the mountain and hold the enemy back to your own weight." Yi Hongyuan said worriedly.

"What's scary?" Cao Yun looked at him disdainfully, "Do these words have a great impact on a military commander who is about to leave? What's more, a military commander who has made great contributions, the prince of the empire! Furthermore, I will write a memorial to your Majesty. Your Majesty, who is a talented person, will naturally know the meaning of my doing this."

"The prince is wise!" Yi Hongyuan nodded and said, "This will be safer. No matter what others say, as long as your Majesty agrees."

Cao Yun had made up his mind, raised his head, looked at the captain and said, "Pick some guards from my personal guard camp to protect you, and convey my order to General Kuang in an emergency of 800 miles. The garrison of Fenghuang Mountain will retreat immediately and make way for the road. The command to open the mountain. As long as Min Ruoying does not attack Kunling Pass madly, he will not stop Min Ruoying from leaving. Now the troops in the six counties in the eastern part of Chu State shall not stop them. Those who violate the order shall be killed!"

"As for your order!" The captain answered loudly, turned around and left quickly.

Phoenix Mountain was stuck in the only way for the Chu army to withdraw to Kunling Pass. When the Chu army launched a large-scale attack, it naturally left behind the army here to guard it. However, as the main force was surrounded, the army left here was naturally taken down by the Qi people, and then a Longxiang army stayed here to guard it.

If you don’t go to Wanzhou and walk on Phoenix Mountain, you will have to fight here to defeat the enemy in front of you before you can open a passage. You must know that the Longxiang Army of Qi and the Fire Phoenix Army of Chu are just the same as the royal army, and they are the elite among the elites. Luo Hu is ready to fight to the death.

Luo Liang's four adopted sons, two of them were buried in the Luzhou breakthrough battle. The remaining Luo Hu and Luo Bao both served in the Fire Phoenix Army. This time, Luo Hu served as the vanguard.

After Luzhou was besieged, the emperor's trust and favor for Luo Liang took a sharp turn, which also made Luo Hu and others difficult in the army. However, this situation has suddenly changed recently. The emperor's attitude towards Luo Liang once again made a big turn. No matter what, he must first ask Luo Liang for his opinion. If he is in and out of words, he must reuse Luo Liang again.

Luo Liang turned over, and Luo Hu and Luo Bao naturally rose and the ship was rising.

But the first thing to do is to break through the siege and blockade of Qi's army in front of you. If you can't return to the country, then everything will be empty talk. Luo Hu naturally knew from Luo Liang that the reason for this happened. Your Majesty, you can't tolerate Cheng Wuben. As long as you return to the country, you will deal with Cheng Wuben. If Cheng Wuben is removed, then the Luo generals like them will definitely dominate the whole family.

"Kill all the enemies in front of you and return to the country!" Luo Hu took a deep breath and tightened the iron spear in his hand.

There was smoke and dust rolling in front of him, and several scouts returned on horseback.

"General!" The scouts' faces were filled with inexplicable but surprising expressions, which made Luo Hu a little surprised.

"The Long Xiang army of Phoenix Mountain withdrew, and they left Phoenix Mountain." The scout loudly reported to Luo Hu about the information they had discovered.

"What did you say?" Luo Hu almost couldn't believe his ears.

"The Long Xiang army in Phoenix Mountain suddenly retreated, and the young men saw them leave with their own eyes." The scout said, "The young men followed them for nearly ten miles, and they did leave. The young men confirmed that they did not set up any ambush, they really left."

Luo Hu was stunned for a while and finally reacted again. No matter what, it is a great good thing for the enemy to retreat without fighting. At least they don’t need to fight desperately. The combat power of the Longxiang Army of Qi and the Huofeng Army of Chu is comparable. Once they are entangled by them, they will catch up with the Qi army behind them, which will be a big trouble.

"Your Majesty's divine power, Qi army was frightened when they heard the news and retreated without fighting. Long live Your Majesty!" Luo Hu raised the iron spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Long live, long live, long live!" The Five Thousand Pioneers shouted excitedly.

"Occupy Phoenix Mountain to ensure the safe passage of the main force." With a swaying reins, Luo Hu rushed towards Phoenix Mountain.

About ten miles behind, Luo Liang rushed to Min Ruoying's side: "Your Majesty is very happy. The Qi army in Phoenix Mountain is afraid of His Majesty's power and retreats without fighting. Luo Hu has already occupied Phoenix Mountain and the army can pass."
