After the official troops ordered their troops to retreat, Zhou Cheng led his troops and horses and temporarily retreated to a small river.

However, Zhou Cheng did not order a rest.

From the day before yesterday to now, no one has slept, and now they all look tired.

Zhou Cheng got off Mo Kuang's back. The river was not frozen at this time. After dismounting, he washed his face with the cold river water.

The moth thieves also went to the river to clean themselves, and some of them filled their water bags.

Zhou Cheng wiped off the water droplets on his face and said:"If you give the order, hold your breath and don't fall asleep. If you feel sleepy, grab some snow and stuff it into your clothes. If you are still sleepy, then paddle yourself." Cut it and sprinkle some salt"

"Here." Guan Hai and others replied.

Zhou Cheng stood up and walked to Mo Kuang. Mo Kuang snorted and rubbed Zhou Cheng's head with his head.

Zhou Cheng touched Mo Kuang's horse mane and said,"We We have already delayed the army for one day. As long as we delay it for one more day, our mission will be completed."

These words are not only spoken to people, but also to Mo Kuang.

Maybe it can understand.

Just hold on for one more day!

Guan Hai and others nodded silently.

Then, the moth thieves took down the beans and wheat from their horses, They fed wheat and beans to the war horses first.

After the war horses ate, the moth thieves took out the dried meat and ate some casually with the river water to barely fill their stomachs.

Don't eat too much. It's easy to eat when you are full. Sleepy.

Zhou Cheng grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his armor.

Hiss - he woke up instantly.

Guan Hai and others also followed suit

……

Zhang Wen received a letter from Gongsun Zan.

Zhang Wen frowned and handed the letter to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said with an expression of disbelief:"The moth thief can actually send eight thousand cavalry?!"

Eight thousand cavalry is not a small number.

In Youzhou, except for Gongsun Zan's white horse followers, Liu Yu himself could mobilize only more than 6,000 cavalry.

Of course, these six thousand riders are already a lot.

Especially the south is short of horses, and the cavalry in Jiangdong is even more lacking.

At the same time, war horses need to eat fine feed and require grooms to take care of them. The consumption of money and food is not a small amount.

Moreover, cavalry training cannot be completed overnight.

Even though the moth thieves obtained a large number of war horses, the training of cavalry is not that easy!

However, Zhou Cheng led 8,000 cavalry and broke through the military formation of 10,000 elite soldiers. This proved that these 8,000 cavalry were capable of actual combat.

It’s unbelievable how these people did it in such a short period of time!

Han Fu said:"If this serious problem cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, it will definitely be a disaster for the Han Dynasty in the future!"

Zhang Wen looked at Han Fu. If Han Fu had realized this and blocked the moth thief's way north, would there have been so many things?

Liu Yu thought for a while and then said:"Ming Gong, I suggest that the cavalry be gathered together to gain an absolute advantage over the cavalry, and we should travel day and night to catch up with the main force of the moth thieves and burn the moth thieves' baggage. The moth thieves have no baggage. , in the winter grassland, it will definitely not survive."

Since the infantry was lightly armed and was intercepted by the moth thief's cavalry, then the cavalry was sent.

When cavalry meets cavalry, moth thieves will not be so easy to intercept.

At this time, a general stood up from behind Han Fu and said:"The moth thieves have been in battle for a long time. They only have cavalry, which is not enough to defeat the enemy. On the contrary, it is easy to lose troops and generals. It is better to send me to lead the army in Gongsun Bogui's place. I will definitely defeat the moth thieves.""

Zhang Wen, Liu Yu and others all looked at the person behind Han Fu.

The man was eight feet five, tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked like a fierce general.

Moreover, the tone of speaking is really not small.

Replace Gongsun Zan? Gongsun Zan has long been famous and powerful in Liaodong. Scholars all over the world often discuss the White Horse General who frightens Xianbei and Wuhuan.

Zhang Wen asked:"Who is he?"

Han Fu replied:"He is my subordinate Qu Yi, who is proficient in the Qiang people's tactics."

"oh?"Zhang Wen looked Qu Yi up and down.

Qu Yi was not humble and said with confidence:"Ming Gong, I have studied the Qiang's tactics for many years and have my own tactics for dealing with cavalry. If I lead the army, the moth cavalry will definitely defeat."

Zhang Wen thought for a while and did not agree immediately. He is a very cautious person. He does not seek no merit, but seeks no fault.

What's more, when it comes to fighting, you cannot be hasty.

Although Qu Yi looked confident, Han Fu He just took office in Jizhou, how much real talent and learning does Qu Yi have?

If he trusts Qu Yi rashly and leads to defeat, then as the coach, Zhang Wen must admit a great responsibility.

Moreover, under the influence of Confucianism, modesty is a virtue.

Qu Yi Yi's flamboyant character made Zhang Wen worried.

Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said,"I order you to lead five thousand troops and horses to assist Gongsun Bogui in defeating the enemy.""

"Here!"Although Qu Yi accepted the order, he still felt very unhappy.

He was born in the Qu family in Xiping, Liangzhou. The Qu family was a wealthy family. When he was young, he was proficient in bow and horse. He often led his clan tribes to fight against the Qiang tribe. The tribes he trained , is even more brave and good at fighting.

Due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Qu Yi led more than a thousand personal troops to participate in countering the rebellion. After several twists and turns, he now became Han Fu's subordinate.

However, Han Fu was not a wise master and was indecisive, so Qu Yi thought Be self-reliant.

It is best to take advantage of this battle to defeat the moth thieves. If you can gain enough military exploits, becoming the governor of a county is better than being under Han Fu.

However, talent cannot be written on your face, let alone say it in person. Tell the story.

If Qu Yi wants to get ahead, he still needs to wait for the opportunity.
