More than ten miles outside Linxiang City, Lu Xun and others ran all the way. Seeing that no one was chasing them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped here temporarily.

Zhao Fan, Liu Du and the five leaders counted their men and horses one after another. Under the illumination of torches, the faces of these soldiers still showed a look of panic.

I thought it was a sure-win move, but I didn't expect that I was ambushed by the other party. It was really a trick.

After more than half an hour, the panicked soldiers finally calmed down, and Zhao Fan and others also walked up to Lu Xun

"How many men did you each lose?"Lu Xun's face was very ugly.

"I lost more than five hundred people, and my captain Chen Ying was also killed by the opponent's young general."Zhao Fan said with a sigh.

"I haven't lost much, but there are only more than 7,000 troops left by Governor Jin."Liu Du's face looked better. After all, his troops were behind. Except for some who were trampled to death while escaping, there were basically no major casualties.

"Our five major tribes also suffered no losses. Samoko said in a rough voice and asked Lu Xun:"Envoy, didn't you say that Han Xuan is our internal agent?" How could it become like this."

Lu Xun said in a deep voice:"Now it seems that either Han Xuan betrayed us and fell to Liu Jue's side. Either he leaked something and Liu Jue found out that he was our spy."

"Now it seems that it should be the latter. I just realized that I have never seen Han Xuan on the top of the city."Lu Xun frowned tightly, feeling a little annoyed.

"Han Xuan really hurt us this time. If I had known this, it would be better to fight Liu Jue head-on. They only have more than 10,000 troops, so they are definitely no match for us."Zhao Fan said angrily.

Lu Xun glanced at Zhao Fan and cursed an idiot in his mind. If the war was just a simple comparison of numbers, then there would be no need to fight. Just compete to see who has more people.

Lu Xun took a deep breath. In one breath, he said:"This time we were tricked by Liu Jue. Apart from Jin Xuan unfortunately falling into the enemy's hands, our losses were not too great. In the next few days, we will take a good rest and prepare to attack Linxiang City.

Zhao Fan said hurriedly:"If we attack the city, our casualties will be huge."

Lu Xun was speechless and said,"How can there be no casualties in a war?" If Governor Zhao is afraid, he can lead his troops back to Guiyang now."

When Zhao Fan heard this, he immediately laughed dryly and said:"Don't be angry, envoy. I have no intention of retreating. What I mean is, can we surround Liu Jue and others without fighting, and trap Liu Jue and others to death in the city. Liu

Du couldn't help it anymore and said:"Prefect Zhao, Linxiang is a county seat. The food stored in it is enough to feed Liu Jue and the others for several months." What we have to do now is to annihilate Liu Jue's army as soon as possible, and then move the army northward so that we can attack from both sides with Wu Hou. Delaying this will only make us more passive. Lu

Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said,"Prefect Liu is right. We can't delay now. We must break through Linxiang and capture Liu Jue and others within a month at the latest.""

Lu Xun saw the situation clearly. Although there were 80,000 troops on his side, they were actually just a bunch of rabble. If Linxiang City cannot be attacked for a long time, something will happen to this army.

Zhao Fan added:"Now Jin He doesn't know whether he will live or die, so what will happen to the soldiers and horses under his command?"

Lu Xun said:"For the time being, we ask the two prefects, Zhao and Liu, to take charge of each part. If Jin Xuan is still alive, we can rescue him as long as we defeat Linxiang."

"No problem at all."Liu Du nodded lightly.

Zhao Fan on the side showed a little joy. It would be best if Jin Xuan is dead, so that he can swallow up his troops.

"Okay, let's retreat a few dozen miles for the time being. After the repairs are completed, we can attack Linxiang City again. This time is just a small setback, and we still have the advantage now."Lu Xun encouraged everyone's morale.

"good! This time we were fooled. When we organize our army and fight again, Liu Jue will definitely not be our opponent."Liu Du also nodded repeatedly.

"Messenger, you can let us be the vanguard next time you attack the city."Shamoke actively asked for a fight. He usually acted unscrupulously in the Wuxi area. He was rarely beaten like a mouse just now. Naturally, he felt unhappy.

"No problem at all!"Lu Xun laughed, I was afraid you wouldn't go.

Immediately, all the armies were ready to retreat dozens of miles, planning to attack Linxiang again in a few days.

In Linxiang City, the soldiers were cleaning up the city. Corpse, tonight's ambush was a complete victory, and the morale of the whole army was high.

At this time, Liu Jue was in the prefect's mansion, with a thick smile on his face. The person kneeling in front of him was Jin Xuan.

"Governor Jin, this is the first time we meet, please come and be safe! Liu Jue said with a smile.

"Young Master, I know I was wrong, please spare my life!"Jin Xuan lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face. Where is the breeze from before?

"Spare your life? Liu

Jue laughed and said:"Your ancestor Jin Rixi was a Huns and was deeply trusted by Emperor Xiaowu. Your Jin family was favored by the Han Dynasty, but now you collude with Jiangdong Sun Quan and even associate with the Wuxi barbarians. What do you think?" Should he die?"

Jin Xuan trembled and said:"Xiaguan was temporarily blinded by lard, and at that time fifty thousand barbarians surrounded Linyuan, so Xiaguan had no choice but to do so. Liu

Jue smiled disdainfully and said:"You are also the governor of a county after all, with more than 10,000 troops and horses, and Linyuan has not been broken yet, but only 50,000 barbarians have scared you like this?""

Jin Xuan's face was full of shame, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Jue continued:"I'm not afraid to tell you. Even though you and Han Xuan have nearly one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, in my eyes, they are just the same. You bastards, I can easily defeat you. Otherwise, why do you think I only brought 15,000 soldiers and horses?"

Jin Xuan opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that your tricks have been clearly seen by me for a long time. Liu

Jue smiled slightly and said:"You, Zhao Fan and Liu Du met at Hanshou and acted like they were going north. In fact, it was just to attract Xiangyang's troops and make them afraid to cross the river south. Then you can make peace with them." Those 50,000 barbarians came together to deal with me. Was what I said wrong?"

"Young Master...Young Master is really a clever man."Jin Xuan's voice was trembling. He didn't expect that his plan had been guessed by Liu Jue a long time ago. He was so proud before.

Liu Jue laughed and said:"It's not a god-level plan, it's just I'm still calm, so I can see through your plan. In addition, let me tell you one more thing. I have sent someone to send a message to Wenpin, asking him to cross the Yangtze River immediately and go south. I guess Linyuan City has been captured by Wenpin now."

"What...what!"

Jin Xuan was immediately shocked. Fortunately, he had been so confident before, but in the end, he didn't even know that his lair was being taken away. His whole family was also arrested!

"It's all over!"Jin Xuan suddenly felt as if he were mourning for his heir. His vision went dark and he almost fainted to the ground.

Seeing Jin Xuan's appearance, Liu Jue said happily:"Don't worry too much. In a few days, Zhao Fan and Liu Du will I will also come to reunite with you"

"Come, take this person down and keep him under strict supervision."

"Here!"The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward one after another, dragging the limp Jin Xuan straight out of the door.
