After learning about the situation of the enemy, Tiemulu couldn't help but feel a little panicked. His current prospects and rear routes have been blocked by the enemy. In the northwest, there is Hubo surrounded by mountains, and there is no access. In the southeast, there are rolling mountains. Although they are not high, they have been occupied by the enemy and have the advantage of condescendingly. If you want to break through from this direction, in addition to abandoning horses and fighting in the field, you are still in a position of attacking. Even if you have to pay heavy casualties, you may not be able to succeed.

Tiemulu already understood that his side had fallen to death at this time, and what he didn't understand was that the imperial edict clearly stated that the Southern Army's baggage was destroyed and he was ready to withdraw. It was also true that the enemy troops in Xuzhou retreated. And after several reconnaissances, they found traces of the Song army. The march was very smooth yesterday and they did not encounter any of the Song army, and they did not even encounter a scout. But why did the Song army suddenly appear flat on the ground, and they were like iron barrels gathered around Jiagou.

"Young Master, although the enemy's offensive has been temporarily curbed, the situation is still not optimistic. Should we stand by waiting for assistance or break back to Xuzhou, please make a decision early!" At this time, the direct subordinates of the Halalu Guard, Huduer, the first thousand households, Tiedaer and the second thousand households, came together, Huduer said first.

"What do you think?" Temulu knew that the three people in front of him and the four thousand households he commanded were the core of the Halalu Guard. At present, they were helpless to support themselves in taking over the Guard. But he knew that if they wanted to exercise their power, they had to obtain their support. Even if the court granted him the throne after the war, they still needed their assistance, so they were very polite to solicit the opinions of a few people first.

"Young Master, we came out of Xuzhou to help, and we only carried three days of food and grass. This small market is sparsely populated and has even scarce supplies, which is not enough to support our army's long-term persistence!" Tie Daer said.

"What Tiedaer said is right. The area of ​​Jiagouyi is small and only a few miles long and lacks depth. It is not conducive to the galloping of war horses. Although there are 30,000 troops, it is not conducive to defense!" The second thousand long tigers frowned and said.

"In this way, we should break through as soon as possible... But what about Xiang Xuzhou or Xiang Fuli breaking through?" Seeing that Hu Du'er didn't say anything, he did not object. He knew that he must be inclined to break through, so he thought for a while and then asked.

"I thought I should break through the siege in Fuli!" Tieder said, "One of the Khan's decree was to ask our troops to reinforce Fuli, defeat the Southern Army in front of us, and intercept the Southern Army withdrawn from Xuzhou; secondly, as long as you rush out of the valley entrance to the south, it is the plain area, the enemy will no longer be able to stop our cavalry, and Fuli's garrison will send troops to respond after learning that our army is in danger. Therefore, breaking south is the best strategy!"

"I thought it would be better to break through the north road." Hudu raised an objection, "The mountain pass in the north is wide, which is convenient for troops to arrange troops. And the enemy's long-distance attack will not be heavy troops, and they will divide their troops into three places to encircle our army. In this way, the troops will be dispersed and the front lines will inevitably be sparse. Our army can concentrate its forces and defeat the enemy in front of us in one go. When they re-schedule the troops, we have already fled far away and they cannot pursue it."

"We broke through the south and returned to Xuzhou, which violated the Khan's will. Once the court investigated, we may be blamed!" Tie Da'er shook his head and said, "In addition, we will break through the south and there are mountains along the way. The enemy will definitely use dangerous layers of defense to intercept our army. Other units will chase after them. The way back is difficult to predict!"

"Huduer, what do you think?" What both of them sounded reasonable, and Temuru was not sure about it for a moment, so he turned to Huduer and said.

"I was just thinking that the withdrawal of the Southern Army might be fake, but I wanted to use this to lead our army to attack. It is true that each defeated it!" Hu Du'er sighed and said.

"How can I tell? You suspect that the Southern Army used the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain!" Several people were shocked, and Tiemulu asked after a brief thought.

"Yes, if our troops are besieged here and the withdrawn Southern Army will return, you can take advantage of the empty forces in the city to seize Xuzhou!" Hu Duer explained.

"The Southern Army retreated because the supplies of the rear camp were destroyed. If they were using tricks, then it was false to say that this matter was false, and it was all false news released by the Southern Army?" Tie Da'er said in confusion.

"The rear camp of the Southern Army should be true. I have asked just now that the Southern Army that were fighting with us were still wearing winter clothes. According to the customs of the Southern Army, summer clothes have begun to be distributed in April. Therefore, it can be judged that the destruction of the Southern Army's supplies is not fake, otherwise the Khan would not have made a plan to intercept the withdrawn enemy!" Hu Duer said.

"Then why did they lure our army out to help Fu Li and want to capture Xuzhou again?" Hu asked in a difficult time.

"Xuzhou is an important town in Huaibei. It has a large population and produces a lot of production. It stockpiles a large amount of military supplies and food. As long as the Southern Army seizes Xuzhou, the food shortage will be resolved and will form a joint attack on Fuli. In this way, our army can only be retreated to protect the capital!" Hu Duer sighed.

"If it is true, our army should break north and return to Xuzhou quickly, and set up defenses before the Southern Army. It is difficult for Yilong Town Guard to resist the Southern Army's 100,000 tiger and wolf army!" Tie Daer said anxiously.

"Where is the young master?" Hu Du'er, as the head of the thousand households directly under the Halalu Guard, was always with the commander of the Dudu. It was common for him to participate in military operations and make decisions as a trusted general. He had to be more knowledgeable than the other thousand households. However, the young master had just taken power and wanted to maintain and help him establish authority, so he did not answer, but asked him how he was.

"When we left Xuzhou, the whistle cavalry found that the Southern Army had retreated 200 miles south, and they were all infantry, and it would take at least five days to return. If Huduer made a correct judgment, we must be able to break through the enemy's encirclement and reach Xuzhou before the enemy returns." Tiemulu thought for a moment and analyzed, "But since the Southern Army was determined to plot against us, it would definitely try to stop our army from returning to the north and intercept it layer by layer. In this way, we cannot rush back before the fall of Xuzhou, and we will fall into a desperate situation where there is no way forward and no way back!"

"Young master, this is not right to advance or retreat. You can't be trapped in this small hill, you have to choose a place!" Tie Daer couldn't help but say anxiously when he heard his words.

"Shut up!" Hu Du'er stopped him sternly, "The direction of the breakout determines the life and death of our army. Don't interfere with the young master's choice."

"Our army is only sixty miles away, and it takes only one day to travel by horse. The terrain is wide and the roads are crisscrossing. If the enemy is in Xuzhou, there will be no heavy troops in this direction, which will help our army break through." Tiemulu was actually very nervous. The lives of tens of thousands of people, the glory and foundation of the family were all pressing on his shoulders. All of this was in his thoughts, which forced Tiemulu to be cautious. He forced himself to calm down and analyze the current situation and the pros and cons.

"In addition, when our army received the task of helping Fuli, the Tutu and Ha tribe stationed in Guide Mansion also received the order to send aid. As expected, the entire army was heading for help. At that time, tens of thousands of troops gathered in Fuli, and they would be able to defeat the southern army in front of him. Even if the situation of Xuzhou falls back, they could retreat to Guide Mansion safely to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy, and do nothing wrong and merits according to the order. Our army returned to Xuzhou at this time, which violated the Khan's will. Even if we defend Xuzhou, it would have been unsuccessful. Once the Song army escaped, we would have been fully responsible!"

"The young master was very thoughtful. The capture of Xuzhou was the key to whether the Southern Dynasty could establish itself in Huaibei and consolidate Huaidong and Huaixi. Therefore, if we return to Xuzhou, the Song army that ambushed our troops would definitely fight to the death to ensure that they could seize Xuzhou and obtain supplies. Therefore, I wanted to go to Fuli according to the Khan's will. Even if we lost Xuzhou, we would follow the order and do our best. We would not be criticized and protect our troops!" Hu Duer expressed his agreement.

"I thought it was inappropriate!" Hudu interrupted at this time, "Since the Southern Army has discovered that our troops have rushed to Fu Li to help Fu Li, he must have known that Guide Mansion has sent reinforcements. Can they ambush our troops, will they not send troops to intercept the Tu Tu Ha troops? At that time, we arrived at Fu Li and were facing the danger of attacking each other. This is no different from falling into the trap!"

"You're worried too much!" Hu Du'er waved his hand, "The Song army approaching the capital has divided its troops twice. Fu Li had only tens of thousands of enemies in front of him, and he sent troops to ambush our troops. He also had to guard against Fu Li's attack, so he had no spare energy to intercept the reinforcements in Guide Mansion. If he tried his best, it would be a way to perish. The thieves in the Southern Dynasty would never have arranged troops like this."

"Well, it makes sense, I'm thinking too much." Hu Zhong thought about it. The Song army had limited troops and it was difficult to divide the troops to attack the reinforcements from both sides. He nodded and nodded no longer opposed breaking into Fu Li.

"Since that's the case, then first use the three thousand households stationed in Zhenbei to attack and break out in the direction of Xuzhou, restrain and lure the enemy troops to transfer their troops north; then use the two thousand households stationed in the south entrance to launch an attack first, and while exhausting the enemy, consume their troops. When the enemy is tired, use the main force to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and the entire army advances towards Fu Li." Tiemulu looked at everyone and arranged his troops.

"Let's obey the order!" The three of them looked at each other, feeling that there was no mistake, and they saluted them together.

"Hudu'er, wait!" Seeing the three of them going down to pass the order, Temulu called Hudu'er again and said, "I thought a line of defense should be arranged in Gangou, and strong forces should be arranged to block the enemy's pursuit, so as to win a chance for our troops to break through. If necessary, it is necessary to make a quick decision to demolish the flat bridge and cut off the enemy's road to advance!"

"Yes, I'll make arrangements by myself, don't worry, young master!" Hu Duer nodded deeply and thought it was authentic.
