Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 638 What should I do, do I still need you to remind me?
6 Chapter [-] How does this king do it, do you need to remind me?
"My lord, I can't go any further! If I go any further, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"

A general who rode his horse and followed the Tubo king couldn't hold back after all, and reminded the Tubo king.

The king of Tubo looked at him coldly, and scolded: "What should I do, do you need to remind me? The enemy army is defeated, if they don't take advantage of the situation and pursue them, will they have to wait for them to regain their momentum?"

"I know there is a saying in the Central Plains, which is, don't chase the enemy when you are poor! But this situation is different! Youzhou is their base camp. If they don't take advantage of the situation to pursue them, they can go straight to Huanglong! Just give them one or two more days. , is enough for them to recover! By then, how much effort the Tubo army will have to expend to reverse the situation! So, we must chase this time!"

The Tubo king's words were not unreasonable.

Hearing what the Tubo king said, the general was also a little speechless.

He knew that the king of Tubo was right, but the problem was, in case there was an ambush ahead...

But when he met the Tubo king's cold eyes, he gave a little thump.

"Your Majesty is right! We can only pursue now! Your Majesty, just give the order!" A person next to him who was on good terms with this general immediately said this, for fear that this general would lose his temper and confront the King of Tubo.

Their king is not the king of the past.

In the past, the king was able to accept advice with an open mind, but the current king, once he is interested, will never allow anyone to commit a crime!

What they can do is to persuade them when they can, and to shut their mouths when they cannot be persuaded!

In short, save your own life first!

Hearing the latter's words, the anger in the King of Tubo's heart finally subsided a little.

Now is not the time to worry about these things, he immediately ordered: continue to chase!

Taking advantage of the defeat of the Youzhou Army, go straight to Huanglong!

It's best to break into Youzhou County in one go!

If not, you must surround Youzhou County within two days!

The king of Youzhou must not be allowed to take the opportunity to escape!
"I'm afraid that kid with a yellow mouth has been frightened and ran away! I hope he is bolder and allows me to teach this ignorant person a lesson!"

The King of Tubo said with a sneer.

When the others heard this, they were all silent.

Even those who felt that what the Tubo king expected might not happen would not dare to say too much at the moment, for fear of being hated by the Tubo king.

The seemingly black cavalry, together with the infantry running behind, were all rushing towards Youzhou.

The swirling dust can be seen even dozens of miles away.

The neighing of war horses and the vibrating sound of countless horseshoes hitting the ground spread far away.

This momentum alone is already very scary.

The Youzhou army in the "defeat" seemed to be fishing, appearing from time to time, hooking the Tubo army and continuing to pursue.

At this moment, the Youzhou army, which seemed to be in a panic and left behind a lot of armor, canned food, and money, was actually messy but not chaotic.

For every ten people, there is a responsible team leader who guides the retreat of the "defeat".

For them, this kind of retreat is actually no different from fighting, and it is even easier.

The responsibilities on their shoulders are also very heavy. They are used as "bait" to lure the Tubo army into the "urn".

"The Tubo army is still behind, hasn't it stopped?" A lieutenant general asked the people behind him.

The man had just galloped over from behind, and immediately reported: "My lord, they are still biting behind us!"

"That's good! Remember, we must drag them to our target, and we must not let them catch up! Keep an eye on the movement behind! If they stop, we will stop too!"

"Yes!"

As the order was passed down, all moved on.

These soldiers used as bait are all cavalry.

The real wounded, as well as the Qiang and Dangxiang soldiers who pretended to be dead and had to follow them, were sent to the rear in advance.

These men who immediately carried some infantry uniforms, weapons, thin armor, and some cans and money, and threw them as they went, were used as bait.

One advantage of being cavalry is that they don't need to use their own two legs to drive. Even if the vanguard of the chase is also cavalry, they will not really be overtaken by the Tubo people.

But they can deliberately slow down and drop some things to attract people to chase them.

Whether it is walking or stopping, there is more room for choice.

Those who pursued behind did not know the situation of the "deserters" in front. These Tibetans who were the vanguard made a lot of money!

Not to mention those cans and weapons, most of them must have been confiscated, but the gold and silver items that were discarded on the ground along with them were small pieces. Many people grabbed them and stuffed them into their pockets .

Those generals turned a blind eye to this, but after this happened once or twice, the news spread, and the other Tubo generals who followed behind quit.

Good guy!The benefits are all given to the people in front!
Why!

They also want to experience the good thing of being able to pick up money while walking!
After making a fuss in front of the Tubo king, the vanguard became a "rotation system".

But even if they took turns to "chasing the enemy", the other teams that were taken up by turns would also gain a lot.

And with so many harvests, the King of Tubo was convinced that those Youzhou troops were really fleeing.

"If they were pretending, the gold and silver they dropped would be a huge expense, right? Our Tubo army has been exhausted for a day or two! What is the point of their doing this?"

The King of Tubo asked his ministers.

When he said this, the people who didn't say anything but were still beating drums in their hearts also felt, um, it makes sense!

Such a thing is really hard to explain!
Even if the Youzhou Army faked a retreat and could lure the enemy deeper, would it cost them so much?Is Youzhou already so rich?In this situation, it seems that the defeated soldiers ran faster and threw away everything they could in order to lose weight!
This also explains why they chased all the way, but only picked up things, but did not chase the deserters.

One is that after they captured the Youzhou checkpoint, they did not send troops to pursue it immediately, but stopped for one night.

The second is that these deserters fled lightly and quickly.

The Tubo king also thought so, so he continued: "The rest of the people don't need to persuade any more. This time, everyone in the army, all set out and pursue!"

The order of front and back is according to the order he gave before.

Finally, on the morning of the second day of pursuit, they rode horses and arrived outside the second checkpoint in Youzhou.

Just when the king of Tubo ordered to attack the checkpoint directly, the rear suddenly became chaotic.
