Ren Jun blinked and said with a bitter face:


    "I have admired the name of the childe for a long time, but my wife and family are in Xudu. If they return, they will be killed."


    Well, survival is strong.


    "According to the truth, I should kill you, but what you said is also reasonable. If I kill you, I can''t bear it. Do you want to be wronged for a few days?"


    Ren Jun nodded repeatedly.


    Bai Xiaowen sighed: "use a rope for me... No, tie it up with an iron chain and plug your mouth, so as not to damage our army''s major events."


    The winged cavalry did as they said and soon tied Ren Jun up. Ren Jun''s eyes flashed the joy of the rest of his life and his gratitude to Bai Xiaowen, but he couldn''t speak because his mouth was blocked.


    Bai Xiaowen asked the soldiers to remove his gag for the time being. After all, there is no need for any ambush now. At least it''s a talent who wants to recruit and surrender in the future. Just give him some human rights.


    If necessary, it''s not too late to stop his mouth.


    ……


    Facts have proved that Bai Xiaowen''s series of measures after changing his thinking have achieved quite good results.


    The vast majority of the soldiers who fled from tuntian did not escape.


    Even if some soldiers escape, it''s harmless.


    Bai Xiaowen had no delusion that the winged cavalry would appear in Xudu and could be blocked all the time.


    As long as the enemy''s reaction speed in Yingchuan cities is delayed and their support time is delayed, the victory can be basically established when the Youzhou army arrives.


    After cleaning up the tuntian health station, Bai Xiaowen still did not relax his vigilance.


    In addition to his mental scan, which opened the maximum range and patrolled day and night, Qiao Rui also asked Qiao Rui to release the spirit of falcon, patrol Yingchuan, check the movements of the enemy in each city, and whether there was a wind alarm and came for support.


    A day later.


    "Captain, I drove the spirit of the Falcon to investigate three times in three directions. I saw most of the cities in Yingchuan. There was no change. There was only a military horse in the south, about 2000 people. Starting from Xiangcheng, I was coming to Xudu quickly. The marching speed was very fast!"


    Bai Xiaowen frowned when he heard Qiao Rui''s report and said, "those who should come will come after all. It''s good to have only a military horse in advance. Sister Qiao, can you feel the strength of the general from the perspective of the Falcon?"


    Jolie frowned and said, "to do this, I must lower the Falcon''s flying altitude."


    "No."


    Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said decisively, "there are some marksmen in the Three Kingdoms. Many ordinary generals have good arrow skills! Falcons fly low. After they find them, they are likely to be shot directly. We will temporarily lose important surveillance eyes."


    If the spirit of Falcon flies back by itself, it only takes eight hours to summon again.


    If you are killed or cannot return during the duration, it takes 24 hours to summon. The difference is still great.


    Bai Xiaowen asked about the marching speed and distance of the enemy, opened the geographical map of mountains and rivers, pulled out the geographical details of Yingchuan county and planned.


    ……


    Xia Houyuan, the governor of Yingchuan, was very anxious when he heard Xudu''s alarm. He mentioned the two thousand people in Xiangcheng and rushed to the rescue first.


    Xu Du is the seat of the emperor and the prime minister''s house. It is the foundation of Cao''s group. There must be no loss!


    At this time, Xu Du was not guarded by a senior general.


    "Where have you been?" Xia Houyuan asked the soldiers.


    An old soldier said, "report back to the prefect. After crossing Yingshui, Yingyang will be in front."


    Xia Houyuan nodded slightly and felt at ease. Yingyang is only tens of miles away from Xudu. With the speed of his troops, he can arrive in half an hour.


    According to the report of the disabled soldiers of tuntian soldiers, only a few hundred cavalry soldiers invaded Yingchuan county. It is estimated that they are bandits and so on.


    It''s right to think about it. Yingchuan''s defense is so strict. It''s understandable that some bandits occasionally appear. If a large number of enemy troops arrive, they must have alerted the guards of other cities and customs earlier. They will never be touched. No one knows at the door.


    This is also the reason why Xia Houyuan did not immediately order other cities to assemble people and horses to save Xudu again.


    In his opinion, hundreds of horse thieves, with his strength, under the command of a hundred personal crossbows, are not easily captured? What''s more, there are 2000 Pacers to help.


    Although most of the 2000 soldiers are recruits and have not yet been baptized on the battlefield, a strong momentum is enough.


    After crossing Yingshui, Xia Houyuan ordered the whole army to speed up and go straight to Xudu.


    Xia Houyuan felt a little nervous when he came to a valley with lush trees.


    From his point of view, the terrain of this valley is a little too dangerous. It is simply an excellent place for ambush.


    "If the enemy ambushes on both sides of the valley..."


    Xia Houyuan shook his head and laughed to himself. It''s just a horse thief. Why do you have such a plan?


    However, in order to be on the safe side, Xia Houyuan ordered his personal captain to go into the valley sentry first.


    The captain of the personal soldiers entered the valley and came out of the valley soon: "general, there is not even a person in the valley."


    Xia Houyuan relieved himself and laughed at his suspicions. He hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up their entry into the valley.


    The farther you go, the more dangerous and steep the terrain in the valley is.


    Suddenly a drum sounded, banners were scattered on both sides of the valley, and arrows were fired down!


    Xia Houyuan was surprised and shouted, "enemy attack! Dao Dun came forward and formed a circular array to protect the Chinese Army!"


    After that, Xia Houyuan angrily looked at the leader of the soldiers exploring the way: "you waste, what do you want you to do!" he drew a knife to cut it.


    The left and right hurriedly persuaded.


    The pro captain rolled off his horse and apologized for mercy. Xia Houyuan said angrily, "when I''ve calmed the bandits, I''ll ask for guilt again!"


    Xia Houyuan responded quickly to the raid. If the sword and shield hands can form a circular array, they can resist the arrow rain on both sides.


    However, the elite soldiers were brought to Guandu by Cao Cao. Most of them were raw melons and eggs. They were suddenly attacked and did not flee in all directions. Xia Houyuan had great prestige and had a good command! How can it be like an elite?


    The formation is true, but each one competes to squeeze in, lest it fall on the periphery.


    One comes and two goes, but they squeeze their own formation.


    There are more arrows in the valleys on both sides, which are mixed with rockets!


    Although it is said that those cumbersome things can not be taken without a light ride, Bai Xiaowen has storage space.


    And there are gold grain jade belts to double the storage space!


    It''s absolutely nothing to bring some strategic materials such as kerosene and saltpeter.


    In the middle of winter, the ground is mostly withered grass, which is quickly ignited, and then fireworks rise without seeing anyone.


    Xia Houyuan drew a knife in his hand and killed three indiscriminately squeezed sword shield hands. He cleaned up the military discipline a little. Then he shouted, "don''t panic! The soldiers are in front, and the others will rush out of the valley. If we don''t get out of the valley, we will all die here!"
