After repelling Wu Deli's 20,000 old Qin soldiers, Zhang Leng took the opportunity to regain a large area of lost land in Hedong.
Sajali's army occupied the land east of the river in the name of assisting defense.
Although Zhang Leng is unwilling, the Iron Blood Army is close at hand.
Without the support of the Yanbei Rebels, Hedong will definitely not be able to defend it.
After Bai Zhengfa heard the news of Wu Deli's retreat, he felt angry and punched several cases.
After calming down for a while, he ordered Wu Deli to return to the central army and wait for the opportunity to invade Yanbei.
After breaking the Iron Blood Army's plan to attack separately, the Yanbei Rebel Army won some breathing time.
In the past month, Bai Zhengrong has rarely attacked.
After the autumn harvest, reinforcements from Shifeng City have also arrived one after another.
The Yanbei Rebel Army now has a total strength of almost 100,000.
From the few thousand people who revolted in Shifeng City to the current army of 100,000, Wei Zeng felt emotional in his heart.
Qi Weilun told him that the population of Yanbei was very difficult to maintain an army of 100,000.
Now after the autumn harvest, it is a good time to use troops to fight in the slack time.
But if there is no progress in the war next spring, a hundred thousand troops will bring down Yanbei alive.
"We can't wait until the spring of next year.
After the enemy's separate advance and combined attack failed, they did not retreat.
Instead, they concentrated their forces and stationed themselves on the west side of the Guanluo River.
It seems that the enemy planned to take advantage of the freezing of the Guanluo River in winter to attack in one fell swoop. .
If we can't resist this winter, there will be no spring next year."
Wei Zeng said to the generals.
"I didn't expect that we have been fighting for three months so soon.
At first, I thought that the 100,000-strong iron-blooded army was so powerful, but it seems that it is nothing more than that.
We now have 100,000 people, so we don't need to be afraid of them at all."
Guchayi said nonchalantly.
Guchayi relied on a cavalry of 10,000 people to break the Jagged Army's attack on the south road, and then continued to harass the enemy's rear.
However, due to the tight defense of the Jagged Army, Gu Chayi did not dare to go deep into the enemy's rear.
He had returned to Wei Zeng's Chinese army camp more than ten days ago.
Gucha, who returned from victory, was satisfied with his victory and was no longer so afraid of the Iron-Blooded Army.
"After all, the Iron-blooded Army is an elite division.
We have seen Bai Zhengren's Iron-blooded soldiers.
I heard Miss Sa sent someone to say that Wu Deli's old Qin soldiers are also very strong.
It is already October, and Guanluo River has begun to form knots.
Bing, the enemy will attack in a few days.
We still have to discuss how to deal with the enemy's attack."
Wei Zeng was also very happy to defeat the enemy, but the approaching battle also made him worried.
"You tell me how you want to fight.
We now have cavalry and heavy infantry, and we are not as poor as before.
Why can't we fight?
I think the enemy will be defeated in less than a month like last winter.
By then ten Ten thousand prisoners are enough for us to capture for a while," Gucha said with a smile.
All the generals laughed out loud after hearing this.
Now the fear of the generals has subsided a lot, and they now have the confidence to fight the decisive battle with the Iron-Blooded Army.
"The enemy's posture is to fight us decisively, but we cannot fight them head-on.
I plan to retreat eighty miles this winter and build a company there to resist the enemy's attack.
By then, we will be able to form a tie with the army in Hedong.

The force of the horn will make the enemy passive.
Cha Yi will lead your cavalry to cooperate with us to harass the enemy, and then take the opportunity to strike at the enemy."
Wei Zeng said.
"General, we have been defending for so long.
It would be unreasonable to retreat eighty miles without fighting.
Now we also have a hundred thousand people who can fight."
When Yu Chaogui heard that Wei Zeng wanted to withdraw his troops, he didn't understand. said.
"This is what my eldest brother and I discussed at the beginning, and Cha Yi also knows it.
Our first step was to break the enemy's attack, and now it has been successfully completed.
If the enemy retreats, we will re-attack Hexi and make the enemy restless. .
If the enemy intends to fight us in the winter, we cannot fight head-on.
We must retreat and take advantage of Yanbei's favorable location and people to deplete the enemy's morale, and then we can defeat the enemy."
Wei Zeng said.
"Is this the case for General Gu?
Do we have to retreat?"
Seeing Wei Zeng's firm expression, Yu Chaogui asked Gu Chayi.
He thought that relying on the relationship between Gu Chayi and Wei Zeng, as long as Gu Chayi persisted, Wei Zeng I will definitely consider it carefully.
"Mr.
Qi said it, and he also said a lot of truths.
It sounded good to me at the time, so I agreed.
Although I have forgotten what Mr.
Qi said, I still think what Mr.
Qi said is reasonable."
Gu Chayi I tried hard to recall the meeting a few months ago, but I only recalled that I was in full agreement with Qi Weilun's plan.
"Stop talking, just do as you're told.
It's already October, the Guanluo River has begun to freeze, and we don't have much time left.
Check, the ancient city where you are must also be abandoned, go back and make arrangements.
Others He led the main force to build a stronghold eighty miles away, and the remaining few thousand people continued to defend the Guanluo River.
As soon as the river froze, they quickly joined the large force.
"Wei Zeng ordered.
Yu Chaogui and some other generals did not understand Wei Zeng's decision, but they still followed the instructions.
Gu Chayi naturally had no objection and immediately returned to the ancient city to arrange the retreat.
After Yan Xiuxiu packed up her things, she left the ancient city with Gu Chayi's troops.
Looking at the ancient city with only a black dot in the distance, Yan Xiuxiu felt a little sad.
"After all, I have lived here for a year, and I still feel a little uncomfortable about leaving.
The Iron-Blooded Army also came here last year, but we didn't retreat.
Why should we retreat this year?"
"This year is different from last year.
The enemy came with 100,000 people.
The ancient city is just a small city and cannot withstand the attack of 100,000 troops.
Xiuxiu, don't be sad.
We will come back when we defeat the Iron Blood Army.
You go to Shifeng City first and If Wei Zhen is with you, you won't be sad," Gu Chayi comforted.
"I'm going to Shifeng City, aren't I with you?
I've never seen a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops.

I think it would be fun."
Yan Xiuxiu said.
"Xiuxiu, how can you be with me?
I have to lead the cavalry to attack everywhere.
It's not good for you to go to the military camp.
They are all men.
It's inconvenient for you to be a woman.
Besides, fighting is not fun, and people will die at every turn.
What should you do if something happens to you?"
Gu Chayi said anxiously.
"I'm just telling you, don't take it seriously.
Sister Weizhen and I haven't seen each other for several months, so I just wanted to have a chat with her.
But why is Miss Sa able to lead the army in the war?
She is also a woman, and I don't see you having any objections. ."
Yan Xiuxiu said.
"That's different.
Miss Sa is a Valkyrie.
She has strong martial arts skills and is also good at fighting.
She has helped Wei Zeng train his troops since the uprising.
I can't compare to the military achievements she has made in this year.
Xiuxiu, you can stay here with peace of mind.
Come to Shifeng City, there are many fun things in Shifeng City, you will never be bored," Gu Chayi said.
"I have grown up, so I don't keep thinking about playing.
I also want to be like Sister Sa, a female general who is victorious in every battle."
Yan Xiuxiu said unconvinced.
Gu Chayi responded a few words from the side, but of course he didn't take it seriously.
He still knew the little tiger's nature very well.
These days are not easy for Bai Zhengheng.
The war has dragged on for three months.
After regaining Hexi, the Iron Blood Army's offensive was hindered.
Xian Jinfei was already impatient and wrote many times to ask Bai Zhengzheng about the situation of the war.
Xian Jinfei meant that if Yanbei could not be successfully pacified, he would let Bai Zhengzheng bring his people back and let Di Xianlan's 30,000 cavalry go out to harass the rear of the Yanbei rebels, and wait until next year to make plans.
Bai Zhengzheng knew clearly that if he led his troops back, he might never have the chance to send troops to Yanbei again.
He had always wanted to surpass Di Xianlan, so how could he give up the credit for pacifying Yanbei to others.
Bai Zhengheng has promised Xian Jinfei that he can invade Yanbei this winter, and Yanbei can be successfully pacified by then.
Bai Zhengheng had a large network of connections in the Iron Blood Army, and with the lobbying of others, he finally stabilized Xian Jinfei.
But Bai Zhengzheng knew very well that if the Yanbei rebels could not be eliminated this winter, he would lose Xian Jinfei's trust.
Therefore, when the Guanluo River froze, he kept sending people to check the condition of the river.
As long as the opportunity was right, he would attack Yanbei in one fell swoop.
Bai Zhengfa was feeling depressed, so he walked out of the tent to relax.
He recalled his more than ten years of military career and made great contributions, but he was always overwhelmed by Di Xianlan.
He has always believed that he is the symbol of the Iron-Blooded Army, and he has been working hard for this goal.
Whether he killed enemies on the battlefield and performed meritorious service, or he conspired to suppress Di Xianlan, he had done it all, but to this day he is still only the second most famous general in the Iron Blood Army.
Bai Zhengfa saw Wendao standing on a high platform looking at the Guanluo River against the north wind, so he walked up to the high platform and asked Wenwen, "Are you missing your homeland, Mr.
Wenwen?

As long as this winter is over, I will definitely I can guarantee that when you return to Shifeng City, I will let the rebels spit out a lot of your property."
"It's been a year.
It's been a year.
I fled to the capital last fall, but was attacked by Jiliu Mountain rebels and almost lost my life.
Since then, I have been protected by General Bai.
Now I'm here again at the Guanluo River.
When I think about what happened this year, I feel a little bit unwilling.
Yanbei was just a few hungry people revolting.
Why did it get to this point?
If I had known it, I wouldn't have been stingy with my family wealth to help those hungry people.
"Now I just want to go back to Shifeng City to spend my remaining years, and I don't want to spend my days traveling around.
General Bai, you must put down the rebels in Yanbei this time.
I will support Bai at all costs."
General." asked.
"Mr.
Wen Dao, don't worry.
Now the Guanluo River has frozen.
In a few days, my army of 100,000 will be able to cross the river.
It will not be a problem to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop."
Bai Zhengheng assured.
Wen Dao thanked him and continued to look at Guan Luohe without saying a word.
Seeing this, Bai Zhengheng got down from the high platform and said to himself with some feeling: "I am almost fifty years old.
It is also my wish to return to my hometown to spend my old age in peace.
But if I cannot surpass Di Xianlan, how can I fight with peace of mind?"
If there is no result after more than ten years, I would rather die on the battlefield."
More than ten days later, the Guanluo River completely froze, and the Iron Blood Army was dispatched across the board, trying to find the main force of the Yanbei Rebel Army for a decisive battle.
But the Yanbei rebels had completely disappeared.
Bai Zhengzheng ordered an army of 100,000 to attack Shifeng City, and encountered the company camp built by Wei Zeng eighty miles away.
Bai Zhengzheng tried to attack by force, but Wei Zeng relied on the stronghold of the camp and it was difficult to break through for a while.
Bai Zhengzheng summoned the generals to discuss and decided to take a risky move
