Li Xun sighed: "Thanks to this captain named Hu, if we have the chance to meet him in the future, I will definitely thank him."

Hu Xian was a captain who led hundreds of soldiers under Xu Chengliang. After the city was captured and Xu Chengliang died in battle, Hu Xian broke out and got separated from the rest of the army, and then went to Langzhou. Zhao Feidu abandoned the city and fled.

Hu Xian was not ashamed of his behavior and did not follow him. Instead, he left on his own and sent someone to Li Xun to inform him of the situation. It was thanks to his report that otherwise, the Tibetan army would have attacked tonight and Li Xun would not have been able to do so.

Be on guard, I'm afraid you might really suffer a big loss in a short while.

The two chatted for a while, and Hua Shaosheng came in and announced: "Hou Quan is back and wants to see the commander-in-chief."

Li Xun was shocked, stood up, and said loudly: "Ask him to come in quickly."

Hou Quan was Li Xun's personal soldier at the beginning. He was always diligent and sincere in his work. Li Xun took charge of Wuzhou. In two years, with the help of Shan Qiu, he trained a group of hundreds of elites.

Scout, Li Xun gave this unit to Hou Quan to manage.

Hou Quan walked in. His body was stained with blood and his aura was messy. He looked like he had just experienced a fight.

"The general will pay homage to the commander-in-chief."

Hou Quan half-kneeled and saluted.

Li Xun stepped forward to help him up and asked: "Look at you like this, what's going on?"

"While exploring, I encountered enemy troops and were chased for dozens of miles. I lost several brothers before I escaped."

Hou Quan put the matter aside.

There are nearly 400 people in the scout camp. The army is stationed in the field. Hou Quanquan is the captain of the scout camp. He is responsible for leading people out for inspections. As the leader, he must also set an example and personally lead more than 30 people all the way to the corridor.

He was discovered in Zhoucheng and fled all the way back.

The enemy troops have already assembled outside Langzhou City, numbering around 20,000, and their movements are unknown.

Sima Tu said: "The enemy gathered a large army at night, obviously they have a plan, maybe they are coming towards us."

"Now that we have discovered him, he may not come."

Sima Tu said seriously: "My lord, you must not be careless."

Li Xun nodded and said to Hua Shaosheng at the door: "Summon all generals to come to me immediately."

"Yes, Marshal."

Hua Shaosheng responded and left.

After a while, Zhao Wei, Shan Qiu, Yu Yanhui, Yuan He and other generals gathered.

Everyone discussed the military situation.

At this time, the last scouts who had gone out returned to the camp and brought shocking news.

One hundred and fifty miles southeast of the main camp, a Tibetan army of about 50,000 people was heading this way.

Upon hearing the news, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

Shan Qiu asked in a deep voice: "Has your whereabouts been discovered?"

"No."

Shan Qiu asked again: "How is the march of this 50,000-strong army?"

"With a normal march, according to their speed, they should not be able to reach us until dawn. When my subordinates left, this army was divided into ten thousand troops and headed northwest."

After hearing the scout's answer, Shanqiu stopped asking any more questions and fell into deep thought.

Li Xun waved his hand, and the scout bowed with fists in his hands, then turned and left.

Li Xun glanced at everyone, with a heavy heart, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is approaching, whether to fight or retreat, what suggestions do you have?"

Yu Yanhui cupped his hands and said: "Commander, two groups of enemy troops are coming in a pincer attack. Their strength is several times that of ours. We cannot defeat them. It is best to retreat."

Zhao Wei frowned and said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid it's too late to retreat at this time."

"Yes, if we retreat at this time, we will definitely be defeated."

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice.

Everyone's eyes were turned to Shanqiu, waiting for his explanation.

However, Sima Tu spoke at this time: "The enemy troops in the southeast are just marching normally and not coming at a high speed, so it is not difficult to guess that they and Langzhou's army should have made an agreement in advance to attack us at dawn.

To launch a general attack, according to the time gap between the scouts' return, the southeast enemy army should still be 120 miles away from us. According to the cavalry, it only takes two hours at the fastest, and ten thousand troops are divided into the northwest. It is obviously

Prepare to occupy the favorable terrain first and cut off the road to Xiaogu County, so..."

Sima Tu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "We have no way out now."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became extremely heavy.

Shan Qiu glanced at Sima Tu. Although this man was not very familiar with military affairs, he was good at analysis. Through the news brought by the scouts, he had already analyzed the situation almost completely.

Li Xun saw the strange look on Shanqiu's face and asked aloud: "Shanqiu, what suggestions do you have?"

Shan Qiu looked at Li Xun and said: "The Tubo thieves obviously already know our movements and positions. Two armies, nearly 70,000 strong, are attacking from the front and back. We can't retreat, and we can't defend."

Li Xun pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time. Langzhou was lost and his retreat was cut off. He had become a lone army of 30,000 people, and the opponent's force was twice as many. The situation was already extremely critical.

Yu Yanhui sighed and smiled bitterly: "If you can't retreat, if you can't defend, if you are unable to advance or retreat, what can you do?"

Li Xun didn't speak, and looked at Shan Qiu, who was also looking at him at the moment. Li Xun didn't see any fear or timidity on Shan Qiu's face, but only endless... perseverance and perseverance.

Firmly determined.

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Old Dan, what do you want to do?"

Shan Qiu stretched out his fist, clenched it tightly, and said loudly: "For the current plan, if you can't retreat or defend, then you can only move forward and change from passive to active."

Li Xun was stunned and said in surprise: "Actively attack?"

"That's right, take the initiative to attack."

Shan Qiu said loudly: "The enemy army in the southeast is obviously the main force. It will take two hours to arrive at the fastest. In this way, we will have two hours of space. There are only 20,000 troops in Langzhou, and our strength is

If we have the upper hand, as long as we can resolve the battle within two hours, there is no guarantee that the situation will turn around."

Sima Tu's eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "It's a good plan to put someone to death and then quickly, to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared."

Li Xun walked back and forth, deep in thought. After a moment, Li Xun stopped and glanced at everyone. From their faces, he could see the movement. In fact, this strategy of individual revenge was the only way out at the moment.

Li Xun gritted his teeth, hit the table with his fist, and said harshly: "Just do it."

Li Xun made a plan, and 20,000 troops from Langzhou were rushing towards Li Xun, having marched more than thirty miles.

Li Xun led an army of 30,000 people and mobilized the whole army, abandoning all food and supplies. It can be said that he was alone.

The Qiubai tribe has an army of 20,000, including 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.

The 10,000 cavalry marched in a hurry and had already advanced more than 50 miles, while the 22,000 infantry led by Li Xun had marched 30 miles after marching for an hour. The distance between the two armies was less than 20 miles.
